Dark Rumblings

[Ebiris]

"Decide quickly, I have little patience," Alicia says, stepping closer.

[Anastasia]

The daemon rises...and it appears in his hands. A book, the shadow wasps not crawling over it, not touching it. A thick and ancient tome, flying forward to land on the ground before you.

[Ebiris]

Alicia picks up the book and examines the magic on it.

Take 10 for 56 on spellcraft.

[Anastasia]

Gimme a CL on it.

[Ebiris]

[18:21] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+31 arcane sight CL
[18:21] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+31 arcane sight CL --> [ 1d20=9 ]{40}

[Anastasia]

Ah, of course. It looks like the tome, feels like it, smells like it.

Yet the magic does not lie, not to you. This is an enchanted fake, a fair effort that might fool a powerful wizard.

[Ebiris]

She tosses the book dismissively to the wasps. "A lamentable choice. So be it," she says scornfully. A driving rain manifests over the throne, freezing the insects and stripping away whatever magic it finds.

Supreme init so starting us off. Quick-cast rain of desolation. How many dispel checks?

5 spells nuked, roll the damage appropriate to that.

[Ebiris]

Oh yeah, ignore the damage spell in my earlier post that was dumb.

[17:12] <@Ebiris> roll 15d6 cold
[17:12] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 15d6 cold --> [ 15d6=61 ]{61}

DC 35 fort half.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+33
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+33 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{49}
> roll 1d20+26 wasps
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+26 wasps --> [ 1d20=6 ]{32}

Magic crumbles away in violent bursts of light as you dispel magic, the cold drenching him and the shadowwasps around. It pours as it thins them out, at the same time the daemon...

Rest of your actions?

[Ebiris]

Alicia then casts her good friend Seira's special spell to better deal with any magic that comes their way!

Seira's arcane thesis.

One swift left, saving for counterspelling.

Time for init proper.

> roll 1d20+8 Latha
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 Latha --> [ 1d20=4 ]{12}
> roll 1d20+12 Syala
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 Syala --> [ 1d20=18 ]{30}
> roll 1d20+15 'loth
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+15 'loth --> [ 1d20=8 ]{23}
> roll 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm 1
> roll 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm 2
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm 1 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{22}
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+18 Shadowwasp Ruin Swarm 2 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{29}

Init is Alicia (Emo Rei) > Syala (30) > Swarm 2 (29) > 'loth (23) > Swarm 1 (22) > Latha (12)

Syala roars, a  sound from deep in her chest. She's flying forward in an instant, past the end of the rain, past the swarming wasps and right to the covered fiend.

> roll 1d20+50 (+2 charge, -6 PA)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+50 (+2 charge, -6 PA) --> [ 1d20=8 ]{58}

Her blow hits the 'loth dead in the chest, but fields of shimmering force manifest, keeping her hammer a hair from hitting him. As she draws her hammer back to swing again...

Swarm 2 is up.

...they emerge from the side. An entirely separate mass of the vermin, covering everything here, swarming dreadfully.

> roll 13d8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 13d8 --> [ 13d8=62 ]{62}

DR applies.

The pain begins a new, the massive swarm biting and stinging. It hurts all over, the world nothing but buzzing, ravaging vermin. Yet you withstand this fresh horror as...

Init is Alicia (Emo Rei) > Syala (30) > Swarm 2 (29) >  Swarm 1 (22) > 'loth (21) > Latha (12)

Holds for the first swarm.

The other ruin swarm gathers all around the daemon, hiding it completely from sight, shielding it entirely. You can't even see it now.

Perception, Alicia. Since you're waiting on a counterspell.
