A taste of the southern wind (Jaela, 89 days left)

[Anastasia]

A few arrows come your way but no more. There's simply not enough time as the three of you flee. The explosion is massive, the entire castle shuddering as ice and fire meet. The fortress below is torn in half, gouts of black steam and debris flying up into the air. The others are already hurrying back, Ram there first. "Just a guerrilla strike?"

[Corwin]

"He wasn't there," Jaela answers, offering her hands to Afina and Ram. 'Hold on, I'm shifting us to the Stone Forest.'

[Ebiris]

Afina takes a hand and holds it out so one of the others can also join the teleport circle. "We're not here to hold ground, just cause chaos and destruction," she agrees.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 vs ??? --> [ 1d100=55 ]{55}

Listen checks, you two.

[Ebiris]

[19:17] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+70 epic listening skillz
[19:17] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+70 epic listening skillz --> [ 1d20=12 ]{82}

[Corwin]

Taking 10 for 36. Slightly less epic.

[Anastasia]

Afina can hear the sound of horses far above, just as the teleportation circle forms.

[Ebiris]

"Incoming reinforcements," Afina says, looking up.

I have blindsight 200, all around vision (which makes looking up superfluous) and a sufficiently high spot check to get the epic usage of seeing through illusions with visual components

[19:37] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+70 spot
[19:37] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+70 spot --> [ 1d20=8 ]{78}

[Corwin]

'We're going,' Jaela thinks to the group. 'In three, two--'

It's a chance for Afina or one of the NPCs to stop me, otherwise I'm teleporting us all to the Stone Forest.

[Anastasia]

They're appearing 500ft above - something drawn by nightmares. Something biiiiiiiiig. It's just coming through, so you can only see much in the second or two you have.

Your call there, Afina.

[Ebiris]

Afina doesn't say anything to stall Jaela. It's probably a counter brought in specifically for them after all, better to deny it battle. She might even get a better glimpse of it before the teleport completes and so be better informed should it pursue them later on.

[Anastasia]

A glimpse of something dark, then you are elsewhere.

Do you all have protections against negative energy up?

[Corwin]

Mass Death Ward.

[Corwin]

'Do you know what that was?' Jaela mentally asks 27.

[Anastasia]

There's one problem - you appear in a stone room. All of you, the room dark and leeching at you. Only your death wards protect you. It's pitch black, only darkvision and then the glows of you arms and armor allowing the party to see.

Suffice to say, this isn't the Stone Forest.
