The past burns (Afina, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

But Afina dodges. She avoids the searing hot flames, flames that leave little blisters over her that hurt in a way that normal fires don't. She feels unclean by the near contact, as...

'First layer,' Tepen says, 'By a  lake and a valley, on the rolling open plains.'

Tryll.

[Yuthirin]

Time slows to a grinding halt around Tryll & Calleigh. They don't stop moving but for brief spurts as powers are manifested.

Temporal Acceleration, shared. PP Cost: 23

Eight giant vaguely-humanoid ectoplasmic constructs burst into being around Gathgarion.

Astral Construct manifested 4 times by Tryll, 4 times by Calleigh. Cost is 68 PP to Tryll & 68 PP to Calleigh's Psicrown. Calleigh & Tryll have advanced 240 ft in the intervening time.

Time resumes normal flow, and the constructs all lunge at once.

PLEASE NOTE: If any set of two attacks succeeds, that AC also Rends. Please let me know if any of them will be Rending today, as it is an additional amount of damage.

[Anastasia]

His AC's higher than they can hit, so only the natural 20s mean anything. That means 1 crit and one hit. Roll damage.

<Kobot> DarthSquiddius rolled 4d6+32 --> [ 4d6=16 ]{48}

<Kobot> DarthSquiddius rolled 2d6+16 --> [ 2d6=8 ]{24}

[Anastasia]

The constructs pummel him all over - yet all but a few are pushed back with a single sword swings. The few blows that land don't even seem to register, the slight nicks they cause healing in a second. At least he's surrounded now, as...

Elementals.

[Ebiris]

The elementals follow Afina's bidding and fly onwards with their captured pit fiend, moving eighty feet past Afina and towards the edge of the safe zone!

Double moving.

[Anastasia]

Init is Afina (41) > Gathgorian (31) > Tryll (25) > Elementals (17) > Master (11) > Calleigh (8)

The Master does the same, following a good clip, "Let us collect our victory and survive," he advises.

Calleigh.

[Yuthirin]

Double move for Calleigh. 120 ft.

[Anastasia]

Afina, go.

[Ebiris]

There's not much room for any of her summons to get in amidst the throng currently assailing Gathgorian so Afina settles for just blocking his view so he can't hellball them anymore. Accelerating herself she does a few things!

8th level slot for 3 rounds of time stop
round 1: stop winds
round 2: dismiss planar bubble
round 3: cast prismatic wall between us and Gathgorian

When she comes out of that she's over by the elementals, the howling winds having abruptly died down. Battering Willah's head with her sword to keep the pit fiend under she flies another 120 feet onwards. "The way's clear, now run!"

[Anastasia]

Gathgorian's up. What happens you don't know, as the party can't see him. Everyone's up, are you going to be running?

[Ebiris]

Yes, full steam ahead!

[Yuthirin]

Full run-actions now yes.

[Anastasia]

Fleeing. The storm leaves the castle ruined. You're racing ahead, to the edge of it. No sign of Gathgorian as you're almost there - but in the air ahead you can see portals starting to open, dozens of them.

One round to act, y'all. Choose wisely. You're 50ft from the edge of the anti teleportation zone.
