Open Alicia.

[Ebiris]

It's about finding the right concept to impose with things like this. Simple violent acts are all well and good, but far better something that gets to the core of the matter. So, since Io wanted to make the perfect creature in his dragons, how best to undermine this thing at its very essence? A flaw? But what flaw?

Or... this thing specifically is about anaethemic knowledge and distorted space. Perhaps something that gets to those?

Alicia looks upon the dragon and imposes her will, her reality on it, as she did with the things that appeared during Antenora's apotheosis.

Flatten.

Simple. Elegant and neat, flatten out all that twisted geometry and make it something much more bearable for everyone.

Yet whatever it is, it does not flatten. Your will flows down and endless spiral, a chasm of forever that accomplishes nothing, lost into forever and beyond.

Anything else this turn?

[Corwin]

Incidentally, I will counterspell any magic used by the not-dragon even before my turn.

[Ebiris]

I'm done.

[Anastasia]

Noted.

"What...?" Amaryl murmurs, gathering her will in before declaring, CONDENSE!

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 23 > [d20=3]

The strange thing shudders and twists, the coil spooling around itself, now behind the party only. It is a thing you cannot look at long, knowledge of it slipping away and yet before you at once, fading every moment as it rejuvenates itself.

Oberuth.

Oberuth is already there, behind it somehow. He says not a word, yet his blade seems different. A thing, spreading in many angles and dimensions at once, creeping and slithering outwards, spreading wildly.

Oberuth strikes ahead, behind, up, down, left, right, in the future, in the past, behind him, before it was born, after it dies. HIs blade is everywhere and nowhere, carving into the thing that is not a thing, creating wounds that you begin to forget about instantly, leaving gashes of emptiness in what is already empty as...

Moore.

[Nephrite]

"Hm... this works in Limbo, so maybe it works... here?" Moore asks, mostly to himself. He decides he may as well try!

Shifting aura to +charisma, everyone gets +15 on any charisma-based checks.

Moore is basically trying the same sort of thing that his anarch powers let him do, but trying to manifest them against this creature. Not sure if he should try a charisma check too or not.

[Anastasia]

Go for it, Moore.

[Nephrite]

He takes in a breath and focuses, trying to hold the creature in one place, rather than allowing it continue to exist in so many places at once!

[Anastasia]

Something in Moore screams. Shatters. Breaks. He falls to the ground, the cry of Jetina and Amaryl lost as his head pounds. Throbs. Wetness from his nose. Blood from his nose. Blood from his ears. Blood in his mouth.

Yet amid all of his head is throbbing, yet he can see it. He feels like he could twist the thing that is not a thing, if he reaches out now and...

Your call if you proceed. Note that no damage yet, at the moment the blood is flavor. This might change.
