Dex checks, all.

The darkness is terrible and without end, seeming to go on and on. But you fly on, fly through the disaster, coming closer and closer, seeing blizzards ahead amid the chaos. Then the four of you break through - Moore, Cresiel, Kaja and Jetina emerge into the snow storm, the unearthly chorus of war behind the party.

[Nephrite]

"Let's try again." Moore says.

[14:46] <Nephrite> roll 1d100 spell failure
[14:46] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 97 > [d100=97]

Trying another Greater Plane Shift back to Hope's Landing.

[Anastasia]

Again, no good. It's still being blocked out here.

"Further?" Cresiel urges a moment later, "Let us make haste away before this falls apart."

[Nephrite]

"We probably have to get outside of the blizzard." Moore says. "Forward." He says.

[Anastasia]

Thus the four of you fly on, into the blizzard, leaving the dark battlefield behind.  You're fleeing it, no sign of anything as you escape away, wave for a slowly thinning blizzard ahead.

[Nephrite]

Moore continues forward -- once they get out of the blizzard, he will attempt to get them home again!

[15:07] <Nephrite> roll 1d100 spell failure
[15:07] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 77 > [d100=77]

Once they get out of the blizzard, assuming nothing stops them.

[Anastasia]

Home. The warmth of Celestia chases away your pan and suffering, seeming to make your nightmare fade away. The four of you rest on the sands, moments of silence.

Kaja falls back with a groan, no other words as he looks up from lying on his back.

Cresiel bows his head, grimacing, "Jetina, mend all of us, please."

Jetina draws her holy symbol, "I will," she says, "Moore seems fine, I'm fine, you need treatment, Kaja needs treatment and Xandra...? Where's Xandra? Raziel, where's Xandra?" Jetina looks around, not a sign of Xandra around at all.

[Nephrite]

I'm not going to argue this one too much, but since Moore could clearly see that she wasn't there (and the others wouldn't have noticed due to the darkness), I really don't think he would have ignored that. I, obviously, OOC missed it.

"Cresiel, can you open a Gate back there and maintain it?" Moore asks.

He quickly uses his Sending stone as well.

'Xandra, I'm coming back for you, Are you all right?'

[Anastasia]

It's less about seeing and more about the panic of retreating in one piece before things fall back behind you.

> roll 1d100
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 58 > [d100=58]

"I can," Cresiel says immediately. "Be swift."

'I'm surviving, the darkness pulled me in. I'm trying to escape now.'

[Nephrite]

'I'm coming.' Moore sends again.

With that, he goes through the gate and back towards the blizzard and the darkness!

[Anastasia]

Are you going with the party or alone here? It's a little vague?

[Nephrite]

Originally, I had intended to just go alone, but there's safety in numbers, so let's say everyone goes.

[Anastasia]

Thus the party goes through and races back. "Damn it," Kaja mutters as you go, "Of all the panicked, stupid..! How did I miss her?"

Speed?
