Gar-Malleos

[Anastasia]

It pulls on you ahead, intermittently and fading more and more.

[Corwin]

"Let's go," Jaela says curtly, leading the way.

[Nephrite]

Moore follows along!

"If anything happens to the spell, let me know. I have an idea but don't want to stop to try it if we don't have to." He says.

[Anastasia]

"Hurry," Canderella agrees, "Whatever's next can't be good, less time for them to prepare is golden."

[Ebiris]

Afina falls into place on Jaela's flank, flying along and watching for any other opposition with her keen senses.

[Corwin]

Jaela rolls her eyes, not even stopping as she brings everyone to top fighting shape.

At last the party hurries along, down and down and down.

An opening ahead.

!!!

You step out into a massive cavern. Ahead is a fortified zone, hundreds of feet wide and long. Here strong points of steel and stone are assembled, manned by devils with bows and arrows, protected by orthons. It's generally erinyes, though a few others are pressed into service. Pits of open lava are about, where sleek paeliryons cavort and direct it, like extensions of themselves. The skies are full of cornugons, spinagons and great flying malebranche, all blocking the aerial way forward.

Ahead you see it. Gar Malleos sits, defended by an army on its walls, a massive, classical fortress with great, throbbing lines of red light and lava flowing into it from all directions. You can just imagine the siege engines within, the cultists and barbazu manning them. Pit fiend generals are spotted here and there, preparing and running the defense.

Before you lies an entire fiendish army, Hell's wrath manifest. You feel the sheer hatred like a suffocating miasma of gas, making it hard to do anything but quail back. What do you do now?

Act, y'all.

Normally this would provoke a creature to make a Will save or be overwhelmed and mentally damaged by seeing this much, but you're both mind blanked and far more than ordinary creatures.

[Ebiris]

Is the enormous gigantic horde of devils spaced such that in general no devil is more than fifteen feet away from any other?

[Anastasia]

Looking at it, there are many such gaps, yes. You might get chunks but hardly more than that.

Jaela isn't the only one who has a protocol and trap designed for her.

[Ebiris]

Lets say I summoned a bunch of low-level monsters to fill those gaps, how many would it take?

[Anastasia]

A few dozen, though smart placement of a few could help compensate.

[Corwin]

Jaela accepts the embrace of Selune, her glow shifting in intensity and scarring devils for over a hundred feet away! The very ceiling of the cavern tears itself apart, then, easily 160 feet across, and the heavens weep for the depravity gathered in this place!

As Jaela charges right into that storm of holy acid, Gae Malleos itself is struck by an earthquake that shakes its very foundations and seeks to dislodge the foolish devils from the battlements they cling to! And should a cannon follow suit, only to land on the hapless defenders below, all the better!

Moonlight Revelation, Twinned Cleansing Rain, Earthquake.

Cleansing Rain damage is 130 per round, Ref DC 36. Evil outsiders save at -4, that becomes -8 within 40ft of me. I autopass SR with Candy there.
