Raven's Nest

[Anastasia]

As you send to her and then fly forward? Palave roars, a storm around him. A great tornado forms, vertical, and extends from Palave to the Eye of Shar, whirling through it, twisting.

"LEAVE!"

Then from above Chan's voice is heard, like a gentle wind.

Leave, Shar.

Standing 300ft above the Eye of Shar is Chan. Her normal smile is gone as her eyes burn, the winds from Palave turning a silver-gold color. "None of us want you here! Leave and do not return!"

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+87 touch AC (+8 ???, +5 ???, +20 ???) --> [ 1d20=1 ]{88}

The pain of working through mortal agents.

Yet as the winds whip the Eye it endures as...

Go ahead and react. Timing is very important here coming up, so just do reactions since something else needs to catch up.

[Ebiris]

"You know this petty posturing avails nothing, Shar!" Alicia backs up Chan's sentiments.

[Corwin]

"Unless you're a masochist. Then getting hurt over and over might just be getting you somewhere?" Seira muses, not really toeing the serious line at present. "That's it, isn't it? Shame about that whip missing you, all that build up-- you must've been salivating only for that fierce disappointment." She shrugs. "Men, right?"

[Anastasia]

Alicia gets a point for realizing what this was and calling it out just before the other shoe fell.

As you retort to Shar, meanwhile...

Alicia's avatar and Syala watch over Sylica and into Ysgard beyond. A pause, a moment.

"Sharrans. Shadows and death." Syala rises at the same time, 'Alicia, Shar's mounting an attack on Sylica.'

[Ebiris]

While her avatar prepares to defend Sylica along with Syala, Alicia only laughs. "Really, that was your big plan? Tie us down with a pointless fight while you throw a mass of undead at my gates? Foolish."

[Corwin]

"But you live on a plane charged with positive energy?" Seira says out loud, blinking, before peering at Shar's symbol in the distance. "Hey, did you ask Lixer to help you plan? It sounds... familiar."

[Anastasia]

"I doubt it's so simple," Amaryl declares, gaze narrow as she peers at the symbol of Shar.

'Are we staying here or going to Sylica?' Antenora asks in your minds, meanwhile.

Come them. Come there and die with your realm, or stay here and die with Chan and Yan-C-Bin.

Init is Amaryl (47) > Eye of Shar (42) > Alicia (30) > Palave (22) > Antenora (21) > Seira (18)

Things obviously depend on the next move here.

[Corwin]

Seira's avatar directs her friends to keep watch over the approaches to the Cauldron. Donald alone should be sufficient, but aided as he is by the others and supported by the avatar's perfect perception of the realm and all enemies approaching it her true self wouldn't even be needed should Shar choose to strike there.

"I think I'd like to defeat you here, then watch and laugh as you're defeated elsewhere during this juvenile attempt," Seira tells Shar happily.

[Ebiris]

"Shar, for your own pride just go home, this is embarrassing," Alicia says, shaking her head. "Antenora, to me. We're returning to Ysgard."

Her avatar is busy working alongside Syala to defend Sylica - in essence an offensive sally, as anyone who dies in Ysgard will be fine, whereas defenders falling in Sylica will be lost forever, with her and Syala's own avatars functioning as a last line of defence at the Felic Gate. Alicia and Antenora can flank Shar's forces then while Seira and Amaryl clean up here.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so what's the plan then? Antenora and Alicia are turning to flank the attacking forces, while Amaryl and Seira are staying to deal with this? Am I correct?

[Ebiris]

Yes.

[Anastasia]

Antenora holds then, since she presumes you're providing transportation. Correct me if I'm wrong, Eb. Seira, go.

[Ebiris]

Yes but I'm far away from Antenora so having her come over to me like I asked would be useful.

[Anastasia]

Oh sorry, legitimately missed that. In that case...

Antenora follows Alicia, flying over to her.

[Corwin]

Seira decides to get in melee range of Shar's ugly sigil, once more doing her best to dispel her magic!

Run action will let me cover 1000ft to her, I'll be 20ft away which is my reach for a bite. Swift action Super Dispell, how many checks?
