The Assault on Avernus

[Ebiris]

Immune to negative energy damage via death ward.

Nothing for nausea, though I am immune to disease and poison if it triggers off either of them. I also have spell turning.

[Anastasia]

The beam hits you...and reflects back. Then back at you, back and forth as...

Both of you have spell turning, so time to roll how it resolves.

> roll 1d100 new roll type, scary!
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d100 new roll type, scary! --> [ 1d100=94 ]{94}

Both spell turnings are inoperable for 1d4 minutes.

> roll 1d4
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d4 --> [ 1d4=1 ]{1}

One minute.

The spell is shot back and forth before ultimately fading away entirely. Vampires rush you only to retreat back, smoking and smouldering from Latha's aura. They surround you instead, recoiling from your assault as they appear. Eight liches appear in a circle, and within that circle is a ninth. A figure robed entirely in black, face hidden by a hood. He carries a staff with a black gem atop it, raising it up as you realize what you face.

Before you is an avatar of Lixer, Lord of the First. "You wish to die? Your challenge will only lead to ruin!"

They're joining init.

> roll 1d20+18 Lixer's Liches
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 Lixer's Liches --> [ 1d20=13 ]{31}

Init is Avatar of Lixer (Supreme Init) > Lixer's Liches (31) > Alicia (29) > Latha (13) > Hell's Legions (11)

Chance to react while I catch up on other threads.

[Ebiris]

Alicia salutes him with her blade. "An avatar already? Someone got a head start on things."

Back in Sylica Alicia's own avatar stews jealously over her one year creation time.

'Lixer has sent an avatar to deal with Latha and I. How are things on your end, Sulia?' she sends telepathically. Only the first part of that goes to Seira to keep her updated as well.

[Corwin]

'Attempting plan b,' is Seira's curt response.

[Anastasia]

Lixer raises his staff, as a sheer, horrid wave of cold and malaise hits you and Latha, protections bursting alight.

Okay, you're getting dispelled. List the spells you have in play.

[Ebiris]

Hold on a second! One of my spells is Greater Anticipate Teleportation!

So we should've got 3 rounds notice of Lixer and his goon squad teleporting on top of us.

[Anastasia]

Okay, strike all that then.

As you advance forward, more phantasms rising from the ground? You feel it. An avatar of Lixer and liches, coming and held only by your magic as...

Init is Lixer (Supreme Init) > Alicia (29) > Latha (13) > Hell's Legions (11)

Lixer isn't above being a bit pissy, though. He's up.

The sky above you darkens, as a wave of rot-smelling green hellfire cascades down from above.

Evasion you two. At least you're tying up his attention even more this way.

[Ebiris]

[19:00] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+54 no evasion sadly
[19:00] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+54 no evasion sadly --> [ 1d20=12 ]{66}

She also broadcasts into their telepathic link, 'Avatar of Lixer inbound on my location. Also the green hellfire's getting more intense around here.'

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+54 Latha evasoin
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+54 Latha evasoin --> [ 1d20=10 ]{64}

100 vile damage to Alicia after the successful save is added in

The unnatural flames burn you, lapping at your soul with a barbed tongue. You shudder at the contact, knowing full well Hell's power, for you have faced it many times before. As you recoil from that...

Go.

[Ebiris]

'Fifteen seconds till Lixer's arrival, be ready!' Alicia sends to Latha. 'Eight liches inbound with him.'

Positioning herself over the avatar's expected arrival point, she prepares to do something about those flames as well as clear the area a bit more of remaining undead.

Taking 10 for 62 on arcana/planes/religion - is the green hellfire stoppable by mundane barriers/antimagic?

[Anastasia]

It is not - it is the direct magic of a planar lord. You're pretty sure most barriers just aren't going to be meaningful against it and anti magic's irrelevant to it.

[Ebiris]

Do I have any reason to think shooting blasts down with silver fire would do any good?

[Anastasia]

Paste me silver fire?

[Ebiris]

SILVER FIRE
The deity can emit the silver fire that Mystra uses, as a gift from her.
Prerequisite: Magic Domain, must serve Mystra or otherwise have her favor
Benefit: Silver fire has several abilities as described below.
- At will, the deity may emit a beautiful beam of silver fire. This beam has a range of 70ft and has laser precision, able to turn corners and strike as as much as little of the target as desired. This attack deals 40d10 points of damage, with a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 hit dice + your Charisma modifier + divine rank) for half damage. No mortal means of defense can stop this ability, as it destroys barriers as a divine blast does.
- Once per minute the deity can bestow a Heal, Greater Restoration or Regenerate spell with a touch.
- Silver fire also can be activated within the body of the deity (triggering automatically as a free action, once per round) to completely purge all external magical, supernatural or psionic compulsions from them as a greater dispel magic (caster level equal to the deity's hit dice and with no cap).
Suggested Portfolio Elements: Magic.

[Anastasia]

It might. Being something with healing properties and considering what Lixer is, it may. It's one of those in theory things you'd have to simply try out.
