The lost fortress (Afina, Jaela; 85 days left)

[Corwin]

Jaela burns large swaths of the skeletons like a fiery scythe before she's out of sight! The increasing heat is a minor concern for now, given her immunity, and she doesn't pause in her race downstairs!

Agony erupts amid all of you, burning that does not burn. It hurts tremendously as all of you race ahead, down the stairway, hurrying.

AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS, IT IS FINALLY TIME.

[Corwin]

"Like hell it is!" Jaela can't help but respond, dashing down!

14 temp hp remaining, no actual damage.

[Ebiris]

12th level slot sacrificed with spell shield to reduce damage by 60.

Down. Down, down, down. Down the stairs. The entire fortress shudders, as if a woman in labor pains. The three of you race along - Mei behind, fallen behind and not as fast, but hardly the concern at the moment. You race down - and almost run headlong into a thick wall of ice, showing signs of melting but still intact, clogging the way ahead.

Jaela flings two more holy flame strikes with a thought as she dashes ahead!

If the two swift spells and finally my aura of fire don't make a suitable path through for me, I'll charge into the remains with Gae Dioltas!

[20:28] <@Luiza> roll 15d6+4d6 goldenfire'd flame strike 1!
[20:29] <Serith> Luiza roll for Serith < 67 > [d6=4,3,4,6,6,1,5,3,1,1,3,1,6,3,3,6,3,5,3]
[20:29] <@Luiza> roll 15d6+4d6 goldenfire'd flame strike 2!
[20:29] <Serith> Luiza roll for Serith < 64 > [d6=6,3,1,3,1,4,1,6,4,6,1,2,6,1,4,3,5,4,3]
[20:29] <@Luiza> roll 2d6+4d6 10ft aura of fire
[20:29] <Serith> Luiza roll for Serith < 22 > [d6=3,2,4,5,2,6]

Forgot that my flame strikes are twinned, so that's 117 and 113 respectively.

[Anastasia]

The wall of ice melts, most of it gone - as well as the next one 5ft ahead, and the next, but more are after it, blocking the way.

As you race towards them, 'Ants cower in their nest, seeking to hide from the purifying touch of light. Mere ice will not stop us, will it not? You are mighty in brute force; charge through as a tiger charges through prey.'

[Corwin]

Jaela was already doing that! And swooping down from her spot by the ceiling to make even more of an impact!

[20:40] <@Luiza> roll 1d20+51+7 diving charge, divine might
[20:40] <Serith> Luiza roll for Serith < 71 > [d20=13]
[20:41] <@Luiza> roll 16d8+184+8+4d6

[Anastasia]

Jaela is like a plunging meteor, smashing through wall after all of ice. They shatter before her as she goes down, keeping her speed as the stairway curves and goes further down. After a few dozen there's no more, and ahead is a door leading further in - you can see a shimmering wall of force in front of it with your magical sight.

Then - !!!!

Fortitude, all.

NOW EVERYTHING WILL END.
