Getting the band together

[Corwin]

"Agni. It really should be Agni," Seira decides. "My name is Seira Aryn." She'll let her friends introduce themselves, given that Ignan should not be beyond them. "I live in a massive, ever-growing volcano, and I'm wondering if you would be interested in coming over to stay there."

[Anastasia]

"Yandrazrt," The gnome construct says, perfect Ignan spoken. "We could use you. Our volcano needs more boiling metal."

Oraga rumbles at this, standing tall.

"You think your volcano needs more fire? Everything needs more fire," Agni rumbles right back. "You are wise."

[Corwin]

"And we could learn more from each other," Seira points out. "My unique brand of fire, Yandrazrt's command over metal, the way you merge the two disciplines... I can easily see all of us grow in our understanding, and being better at using fire is something I'd love. Won't you?"

[Anastasia]

"I will obey," The elemental spirit announces. "I will burn and boil there."

[Corwin]

"Great! Can you glide through rock similarly to how we had?" Seira inquires. "Since we can't go to the Cauldron directly from here, heading up for a few minutes would be best."

Incidentally, would Earth Glide work on Agni if Lagann cast one of the reserves of it I asked him to memorize? If so, we may as well just do that.

[Anastasia]

There's no reason why it wouldn't, so long as it counts as a creature.

[Corwin]

If Agni agrees, Seira intends to grant that ability to him and then take the four of them back beyond the edge of the dimensional interference. There, she will transport Agni to the Cauldron to settle in the magma lake on the lowest floor by the palace, Amaryl filled in on all the details and there to welcome him along with Lumenbur.

And then Seira, Lagann and Oraga will return below once more!

[Anastasia]

Gimme a d100.

[Corwin]

20:46 <CC> roll 1d100
20:46 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 33 > [d100=33]

[Anastasia]

The trip back is uneventful.

Magma parts around Agni as it flows in. "It is hot here," he announces, "But it can be hotter."

[Corwin]

"Amaryl, darling, please look into that?" Seira requests of her wife. And if need be, her avatar would be ready to assist. Meanwhile, she, Oraga and Lagann will head back for the mines!

[Anastasia]

"We can do hotter," Amaryl promises, heat buffeting you as you go back. Your trip back is uneventful -now, there is a great gap where Agni was, no impediment to going forward. "We should hit the mines shortly," Lagann says. "This is the time for any other preparation."

[Corwin]

Nodding, Seira casts her most powerful spells upon the three of them and channels the usual dispel into her blade.

Celestial Valor and Glorious Rally. +10 to attack, damage, AC and saves. Since Greater Heroism was cast before, the changes from the previous block are: +6 to attack, +8 to damage, +6 (touch and normal) AC, +6 Fort and Will saves, +2 Ref save.

Chain Dispel channeled into Dragon's Grace.

After also taking the opportunity to refresh the shorter-duration spells, Seira tries to triangulate the origin of the dimensional block so that she might plot a course straight towards it!

[Anastasia]

How precisely are you trying to triangulate the origin of the block?

[Corwin]

My stated plan was going horizontally and seeing where I estimate the hypocenter to be. Get the vectors from a couple spots like that, then see where they intersect above us, then head for that point.
