"It may come that Hell tries to push us out once we've settled the matter there. If they do, then they'll see why that is a fool's errand." Moore says. He nods. "But yes, I say we prepare to fight there -- and do it for our own reason, not for Hell."

[Anastasia]

Erathaol nods, "Then travel under the light of Chronias." He is gone that moment after, leaving all of you to prepare.

Kaja exhales, "Three. Three groups to fight. What a wonderful day," he smiles slowly.

[Nephrite]

"It's going to be interesting, for sure."

How long would Moore estimate it will take them to get to Foggard, assuming the Phantom Steeds speed of 240 and double move / just charging for 4x speed?

[Anastasia]

20ish minutes, but it could vary depending on how ghastly the weather gets as you get closer, since it looked to be intensifying as you went.

[Nephrite]

Okay.

Would I have any reason to believe Surefooted Stride (the spell) would help with that?

[Anastasia]

It might help, but aerial travel is a different beast than land travel.

[Nephrite]

Okay. Since it'll take time, let's do this from Jetina:

Celestial Valor (CL 32)
+8 sacred vs fear and emotion effects that would sap the will to fight, +4 sacred to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class and saving throws, weapons count as holy

Let's get a Mass Energy Immunity, Cold from Jetina too, CL32
Mass Freedom of Movement on everyone + horses (CL32, 320m)
Mass Death Ward (CL32)

Are there any other spells from her you can think of that we might want for this?


From Moore:

Fortunate Fate (CL20) on everyone,
Mass Surefooted Stride on everyone + the horses
Surge of Hope, +4 morale bonus to attacks, saves, skills, CL31 (31m)

I think that's all his good stuff that lasts longer than half an hour, anyway.

[Anastasia]

Not offhand.

Adding anything else? I want to get all the boosting done at once for the spoiler block, if possible.

[Nephrite]

Not adding anything else until we get there, as they'll end up falling off during the trip.

[Anastasia]

Thus everyone is prepared and...

Go ahead.

Plan will be to Greater Plane Shift back to the Deep Ethereal.

Once there, I'll spend a moment to cast Lay of the Land again to make sure we're in the same spot to get to Foggard, and then everyone will start heading that way as fast as the steeds will take them!

Hopefully Vision of the Omniscient Eye will help Moore see through the blizzard. We shall see. Get it??????

[Anastasia]

Your Greater Plane Shift is unremarkable.

Xandra looks about, snow and ice falling. "Two evils, working together - as if we had not enough of that with Baator and the efreet."

Jetina holds her hand out as snowflakes fall onto it, "It's like a wonderland," she says, "Everything wrapped in fog, to go to sleep and dream of winter snowstorms and hot drinks afterwards."

Meanwhile, you find that you're in the same place as before, the spell confirming it.

"Poetic," Cresiel murmurs, "But do not mistake this of the innocent white snows of childhood. Black evils await within."

"I know," Jetina lowers her hand, "We didn't really get snow where I grew up, anyway. I heard an eladrin describe winter that way at Aurora. It stuck with me, to find beauty even in the harshest season of the year."

[Nephrite]

"I'd really like to find out why Orcus and Cryonax are working together." Moore says after a moment.

"Once we start heading towards Foggard, we're going to run into a lot more snow and wind -- hopefully these spells will help us get through it, but be prepared. This isn't the type of snow you can just sit inside next to a fireplace with some hot cider, I promise." A small smile after that.

"Maybe someday. Forward!"

With that, he heads back towards Foggard!

[Anastasia]

Give me a d100.
