Infiltrators (Surraruthru, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

The sphere is a physical object. It's made of glass, crystal or similar material, albeit tinted black.

[Ebiris]

'Tryll, can you safely disarm it all by yourself or not?' Afina asks. 'Passing questions back and forth when we can't see anything from here isn't helpful. We can attack and then study the problem together, since if you're on site you can at least prevent any devils from activating it during our assault.'

[Yuthirin]

'The sphere is a physical thing, appears to be made of glass, tinted black. The sphere is not movable from what I can see. We'll need to bring down the wards themselves, instead of targeting the sphere. Carefully. It may be wise if you joined me here. Extra eyes and minds would be helpful.'

[Yuthirin]

Any part of the wards here that could trigger from above the chamber? Like could they trigger the explosion from outside? Any way I can prevent it if so, or interrrupt the wards projecting upward so that, while the circles still exist down here, they would not still be providing power to the wards above?

[Anastasia]

One more Spellcraft.

[Yuthirin]

Taking 10 for 51

[Anastasia]

Yes, you think the entire thing could be triggered from above. More precisely, that's already happening from the looks of it. It's setting up as you speak.

You might, might, might be able to directly manipulate the entire thing with ample Spellcraft, magic and a bit of luck, but failure would likely be explosive. It is possible, however.

[Yuthirin]

'Oh. It's activating. Right now. Before I've done anything.'

[Yuthirin]

'I'm going to try to prevent it from doing so. I may cause it to explode instead. But it's going to explode anyway. Nasty devils and their tricks. Good luck on not dying if I fail!'

[Ebiris]

'Then we go now, if there's no time do what you have to do,' Afina says, suddenly moving very fast. 'Attack!' she telepathically orders the officers!

7th level slot for 2 rounds of time stop.
round 1: disintegrate outer wall of force of fortress wall
round 2: disintegrate inner wall of force of fortress wall
real time: use control water SLA to raise water level outside fortress by the breach I just made to flood its interior
[19:21] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20 disintegrate 1 check
[19:21] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 5 > [d20=5]
[19:21] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20 disintegrate 1 check
[19:21] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 14 > [d20=14]

Control water raises the water level by 50 feet, so should be enough to flood the place pretty good.

[Yuthirin]

Righto, what are my rolls, Ko?

[Anastasia]

Make two Spellcraft checks. Good luck, Yuth.

Let me resolve this before Afina, in case things go explosively, one way or another.

[Yuthirin]

Right, let's get this out of the way. Reality Revision for Moment of Prescience.

<Serith> Yu roll for Serith < 62 >[d20=19]

<Serith> Yu roll for Serith < 79 >[d20=11]

[Anastasia]

You can't use moment of prescience here. It only applies to opposed skill checks and this isn't an opposed check.

You can choose a different effect with reality revision if you like.

[Yuthirin]

Alright, let's try a flat bonus to both rolls. +20 to all skill rolls made in the next 10 minutes. Let's not get crazy because I do not need this backfiring right now.
