Vanguard (Afina)

Ebiris · January 17, 2017, 02:26:46 PM

At the lack of response, Afina acts in brutal style to show them the error of their ways, flying upwards before a rush of frigid air blasts out over the onrushing defenders of devil-kind!

On the back of that, Garm howls and flies over the disarrayed forces towards the one giving them orders, mercilessly savaging the one who says there's to be no mercy!

He'll accept any AoOs taken en route, mobility gives him AC 47 vs them. Bite applies dimensional anchor for one round as an Su.

28 damage to Garm.

Cold slams the front lines and freezes a few warriors solid, another having a grazed arm turn frosty white from the momentary contact. As Garm rushes over, a upthrust spear stabs his belly, but he races ahead. In the back is a single erinyes, a glowing blue shield appearing as he charges the green skinned, blacked haired creature. Not that nor the chain armor he wears stops Garm from biting his left arm off, a scream as blood gushes out from the wound.

Fear erupts through the troops as...

Is Fenrir doing anything?

Ebiris · January 17, 2017, 02:48:09 PM

He'll join the fray as well, but he's after Moonlight and the Aurora forces

Init is Afina (43) > Garm (31) > Moonlight (25) > Aurora Forces (24) > Fenrir (16) > Dana = Dreamseer Forces (13)

Naturally. My mistake.

As Moonlight charges into the fray, meeting the enemy line head on, 'Afina,' Tepen sends, 'If you notice the sky darkening, understand it is a diabolical plot. If devils start to come from above, take a defensive position. Sylica is preparing a counter-action.'

> roll 1d10+41+2d6
<Serith> Sunshine_Ko roll for Serith < 56 > [d10=4][d6=5,6]

Moonlight's charge hits a half frozen soldier in the chest, caving his chest in and knocking him back into his fellow soldiers. The rest of the forces close in, your vanguard rushing in. Already softened the line doesn't hold at all, generally collapsing and opening the way. The erinyes is still up as well as a handful of soldiers, as...

Fenrir.

Rushing in after his fellow hunting hound, Fenrir puts a stop to that erinyes business with a thorough chomping!

Anastasia · January 17, 2017, 03:27:44 PM

With his foes wounded and distracted, Fenrir has no difficulty rushing over them and to the erinyes. He grabs its other arm and tears it off, the creature crumbling away to black sand. Dana strides in, "You fuckholes going to fight us or surrender?" she demands.

> roll 1d20+20 (-2 shaken)
<Serith> Sunshine_Ko roll for Serith < 23 > [d20=3]

The remaining soldiers throw down their arms, "Surrender! Mercy!"

Free act.

Ebiris · January 17, 2017, 03:33:46 PM

"Moonlight, arrange a perimeter," Afina commands. "Fenris, Garm, with her. We need to keep any counterattacks from bothering us until we link up with the rest. All of you, weapons down and over there," she gestures for the surrendering forces to group up in one corner. "Who's in charge here?"

Then telepathically she sends to Tepen, 'Is there more to it than just clouds? I can clear the sky up readily enough.' But if Sylica has a proper countermeasure in the works she can just as well save her effort.

Anastasia · January 17, 2017, 03:44:26 PM

'It's more. Semyaza is causing a large scale manipulation of the weather and channeling Hell itself. Sylica has a remedy prepared,' Tepen says.

Ebiris · January 17, 2017, 03:48:21 PM

Well even if there's a remedy she has means to fix things in her own immediate area, and manifests her own ability to control the weather.

Using spell enhancer to boost my control weather SLA to CL 27 and commanding the weather within a two mile radius to be bright and sunny, takes ten minutes for changes to fully manifest barring interference

In the meantime while she waits on one of their new prisoners spilling some details, just how big is this temple anyway? Just a big open worship chamber with nothing more than the defenders they already beat, or a sprawling complex they'll have to go room by room through?

Anastasia · January 18, 2017, 02:15:11 PM

Rules corner time: RAW, spell enhancer isn't clear about affecting SLAs. It simply says the next spell you cast. I'd normally construe that to say that it means spells and not spell-like abilities, which are two different types of things. So RAW I think it's meant to only affect spells and probably RAI as well. That all being said, I have no real problem with it being used to boost SLAs, so whatever. I'll add a houserule about it after this post.

In any case, make a CL check, Afina. Something's obviously in the offing here and resistance is evident.

Anastasia · January 18, 2017, 02:42:59 PM

The sky is sluggish, resisting. You manage to slowly part the cloud cover, but it's hard. It should work, but slowly and grudgingly, you think.

As interrogations happen and soldiers go to hold the door - brief ones really, due to the nature of it, you get a message from Tepen.

'Afina, this message is going to all Aurora officers. Canderella is dead. An unknown force tore her apart, the assailant was not seen except for a rippling in the air described as stretching. If you see this, send word immediately and assume a defensive pose. It has means to defeat typical sensory abilities, due to the fact it penetrating our blocking force, killed her and escaped. More information will follow as we obtain it, it does not seem to be tied to the sky issue.'

Ebiris · January 18, 2017, 02:48:23 PM

Afina shares a look with Moonlight and Dana after hearing that. "We need to find someone high up and get them to spill their guts as to what their trump card is."

Hopefully Canderella's well in Talos's Realm.

'I'm clearing the skies above us, there's resistance but nothing I can't overcome,' she sends back to Tepen.

In the meantime yeah, what's left of this place? Have they taken it entirely or are they just holding the perimeter with unknown resistance waiting deeper within?

Anastasia · January 18, 2017, 02:54:05 PM

Dana smiles. "About fucking time, a future corpse worth pissing on."

Meanwhile you're in the front antechamber - there's more within. Moonlight runs over from an interrogation, "There's several twisting halls here, a short maze that leads to the center. They're focused there for the defense and the maze is trapped. It's also small enough to make an army attack slow. My opinion, the three of us go take care of it personally while the army holds this and fans out a bit."

Ebiris · January 18, 2017, 03:01:20 PM

"Yes," Afina agrees with Moonlight's tactical appraisal. "Garm, Fenrir, you two stay here as well to ensure the perimeter remains secure. Both of you howl in quick succession if there's trouble that requires my intervention, I'll hear you," she says, her two hunting hounds starting to prowl the perimeter as their forces take up defensive positions.

"Did you get enough information for us to safely avoid the traps?"
