All That Glitters

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Absolutely."

[Anastasia]

"Then prepare," Crystalle declares.

Okay. What's your agenda for prep here?

[Nephrite]

Spells being cast:

Mass Conviction (+4 morale bonus to saving throws) (CL19) (190m)
Mass Surefooted Stride (can move through difficult terrain with no penalty. What??? they might run into it) (CL30, 30m)
Surge of Hope (CL30) (30m) (+4 morale bonus on attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls) (it does saving throws too but that's really pointless with conviction)
Life's Grace (CL19)x2 (Cresiel, Xandra) (19m) (protects against ability drain and all that jazz, armor is treated as ghost touch)

[23:32] <Nephrite> roll 18d4 nonlethal
[23:32] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 44 > [d4=2,4,2,2,2,4,1,4,1,3,3,3,2,3,1,4,2,1]

He'll bolster the three of them with Inspire Heroics for +12 morale bonus to save (doesn't stack with conviction but it's only temporary) and a +12 dodge bonus to AC. This lasts a total of 60 rounds, i.e. 10 minutes.

Right before they leave he'll also cast Haste.

If Cresiel or Xandra have any buffs to use, by all means. The idea is to use the longer spells first and then the super-short duration ones right before they go anywhere to maximize their length. If they lose a round or two it isn't a big deal.

[Anastasia]

Xandra doesn't have much, she's a warmage. Cresiel will drop Mass Death Ward, CL 27th. He'll drop Shield of Warding on himself for +5 sacred Reflex and AC. Anything else, y'all?

[Nephrite]

Moore will also toss in a Superior Resistance to both Xandra and Cresiel. (+6 resist bonus to saves) (CL30)That will do it.

[Anastasia]

A rush. A surge of energy as you stand at the bottom of the incline, darkness billowing out. Unholy moans echo from above, from the darkness and where you know the temple to be.

Cresiel merely gestures ahead, "It is time to bring light to the darkness of entropy."

Xandra looks to you, "Our first battle. Let us make it a good one."

"I'm just happy we don't have to do the hand signals anymore... All right, our first order of business is going to be to get to the side of the temple. If we find an entrance, great, otherwise, we make an entrance. Or entrances, depending." Moore says with a nod to the others.

"Let's do it!" He shouts as he starts to fly back and towards their destination!

[Anastasia]

Up. Up and past the darkness, past the miasma of Shar. You find that the Eye of Shar is now radiant with darkness limned with purple. In the vast space between the entrance you are at and the temple are ghostly, shadowy things. Shadows and greater shadows, things Moore's religious training lets him instantly identify. Hundreds float all about, ready to oppose you.

"Good!" Cresiel's voice booms throughout the cavern, "All you wicked who seek to embrace light and have it bring you to oblivion, come forth. The goal of your deranged Mistress is right here, and I will give it to any shadow that seeks it!" His shield gleams with flames, a halo of light around him.

Xandra stays closer to you, "We are ready, Moore. Let us begin. Show me why the light of Chronias entrusts you with us!"

Init.

[Nephrite]

[21:51] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+36+2

Init is Moore = Cresiel (45) > Xandra (28) > Shadows (22) > Eye of Shar (0)

Open Moore.

[Nephrite]

Moore snaps his fingers as magic envelops him. "Begone from this place!" He shouts, as his words invigorate his allies and himself!

Harmonize, bardic musics only require a movement ability to start.

[22:00] <Nephrite> roll 3d4 nonlethal
[22:01] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 5 > [d4=3,1,1]

+16 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +16 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls

[Anastasia]

That it, Moore?

Most of you all have a lot you can do each round, so just lemme know decisively if your turn is done.

Oh, yes, sorry. That is it because that eats my Standard and my Move.

"Can you withstand a Bolt of Glory?" Cresiel calls you as he gathers in power.
