Dark Rumblings

[Ebiris]

Yes, the sunburst has a 180 foot radius so I'm hoping that's enough space to work with.

With a single slash you end the shadows, a sunlance flung and erupting through the swarm and beyond. The sunlight chastises them but hardly puts them down as...

Init.

Init is Alicia (Anti-Rei) > Syala (32) > Ruin Rat Swarm (24) > Latha (17) > ??? (16)

Syala opens.

Syala watches the swarm and says not a word and yet...

Dominate Animal SDA.

> roll 1d20+14
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{27}

Before your eyes, the rats surge in, surrounding Syala...and sit before her. Thousands of them surely, squeezed in tight and now still.

"The swarm's neutralized. Latha, go on and take care the problem ahead," Syala commands.

"Yes," Latha agrees, taking to the air and flying down and out of sight, after the source of the voices.

> roll 1d20+25
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+25 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{42}

A sharp sound and then nothing as...

Go.

[Ebiris]

Smiling briefly at Syala, Alicia flies along after Latha!

[Anastasia]

I'll catch up, I'm going to do something more permanent. Not even rats deserve to be the servant of such a vile master.

Meanwhile you fly ahead, catchin up. Latha is before a hooded bald man, his hood blown back. He holds up a strange, twisted thing, a writhing face engraved on a gold disc.

[Ebiris]

Was that within 200 feet for me to cover with a move action?

[Anastasia]

Yes.

[Ebiris]

Punching her arm out, Alicia's sword cuts the air above Latha's head and stabs into the man's face!

Alicia's single strike cleaves through the man's face, doing exactly what enchanted steel does. What's left of him splatters on the floor and his body follows. You won!

Free act. Ow.

[Ebiris]

"Syala should catch up in a moment," she tells Latha, lingering and waiting for her wife's avatar.

[Anastasia]

Latha nods, the remnants of shadows burning away in her presence.

Could use some help here, love.

[Ebiris]

"Check that," Alicia flies back Syala's way to see what the problem is!

[Anastasia]

You fly back and see. The rats are frozen solid, Syala untouched.

Shadows erupt out everywhere, dozens of common, non tumorous shadows. Amid them, 40ft away from you and with Syala 30ft away from him stands a man clad in ice armor. He is tall and broad, ice helmet a scowling man's face. He has a greathammer in hand, forged of bright blue ice. "There is no escape for any of us from oblivion," he intones, "Be it me or you, oblivion claims another soul this battle."

[Ebiris]

Any knowledge to identify this guy?

Also what spells do I see on him with arcane sight?

[Anastasia]

K:P.

He has the following spells active: Greater Heroism, Empty Armor, Dark Caress, Tongues, Energy Immunity (Acid), Energy Immunity (Fire), Energy Immunity (Electricity), Vampiric Assault.

[18:29] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+46 planes --> [ 1d20=9 ]{55}

What are empty armor and vampiric assault?
