Attack on Sylica

[Anastasia]

Latha's about 600ft out right now and closing in.

Your blindsight doesn't feel anything in the cloud - though to be fair, incorporeals might beat that anyway.

[Ebiris]

Descending another two hundred feet towards the cloud, Alicia rears her arm back and hurls another spear of sunlight at the swarm of undead between the cloud and Latha, helping to clear the way for her!

> roll 1d20+18
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{20}

A flash of light, bright and overwhelming. A path is cleared for Latha who flies ahead, shadows burning away as they approach her. Under the light of the moon Latha is all the brighter, as meanwhile Antenora continues to follow you, the two of you growing closer and closer.

Above shadows begin to rise, smashed by the spells of Selune's shards. Bursts of light and moonfire rip into them as they approach - for the moment at least, the battle is favoring your forces, the new shadows being countered, filling lines rather than pressing the attack. For now, at least, the path within is open.

Go.

[Ebiris]

"Latha, it must be destroyed from within!" Alicia calls to the angel now close enough to engage the cloud, flying down to join her while a wall of scything force-blades appears in the path of the cloud along the ground. "We enter together and your light will end this!"

Presumably Latha just used a run action to get close so she has to wait another turn to enter, so I'll fly closer to Latha with my move action then throw up a blade barrier along the ground in front of it with my standard.

[Anastasia]

Latha raises her mace as she comes forward and the three of you unite, shadows fleeing from the three of you, going to join the greater battle. None dare challenge you now as you unite. "Alicia," Latha greets, radiant, "We find what lies within and destroy it, end this attack."

[Ebiris]

"You'll be key to this, Latha," Alicia agrees. "Antenora and I will protect you."

[Anastasia]

"Let's go," Latha agrees, flying into the cloud.

Following, I presume? What's the marching order here?

[Ebiris]

V formation with Alicia in the lead and Latha and Anty on her flanks.

[Anastasia]

Thus the three of you pass into absolute darkness and...

List means of perception, Alicia?

[Ebiris]

Perceptions: Darkvision, scent, low-light vision, blindsight, tremorsense 1 mile, perception +83

Also I have Latha's Sunmantle up for purposes of dispelling magical darkness.

[Anastasia]

The three of you are islands of light within absolute nothingness, two glowing with sunlight and the last an opal radiance.

There is nothing here. Nothing as far as you can sense and feel. Absolute stillness, not a hint of heat or warmth, cold or chill.

[Ebiris]

"Strange, I expected to see something churning out shadows. They just manifest at the edge?" Alicia wonders. "Shed your light out, Latha," she then asks, while sharpening her own senses in case there's things here mundane eyes can't perceive.

Alter reality for true seeing

[Anastasia]

Antenora's already pointing as you see it with true seeing. Ahead is a woman, kneeling. She has long black hair and wears a long skirt, nothing else. She utters words in a profane language, "Oh come, Lady of Loss. Oh come, Mother of Shadows. Oh come, Maiden of Nothing." Yet her gaze turns on you as you look her way, currently 60ft away.

"Alicia Reynes," She is mature, perhaps 30 and human looking. Her upper body is bare and painted black all over, patterns of purple whorled over the black. "You're as strong as I believed you would be."

"Repent," Antenora levels her spear at the woman, "Otherwise the only fate you face is oblivion. There is still time to turn aside your path."

[Ebiris]

"Then you know this cannot end well for you," Alicia says. "Surrender. I'll only ask once."

[Anastasia]

Latha steps forward, "Please, surrender. There's always hope as long as you're alive. Shar's path ends in nothing, satisfies nothing, sustains nothing. Come back to where the waters of life flow freely."

The woman smiles even more, "I have no use for life. Life is an abomination. Creation was a mistake. The Incarnations erred in creating all. The only answer to Creation is the silence of non existence, to return back to the only true peace that is possible. For as long as we live, we suffer, we hurt, we sorrow. Loss is inevitable. Entropy is the fate of Creation, and resisting it only prolongs your pain. Come, put aside your weapons and join me. Close your eyes and rest. Your burdens are surely too heavy, but you can finally put them aside here. Everyone here will join you and you can rest together, forever."
