Victorious advance

[Ebiris]

"Odd, I thought you'd be all over a chance to bring your own order to chaos," Alicia says. "But it synergises surprisingly well with divine realm control and will help you with Sylica as well. Or any other outer plane you decide to force your will on in opposition to its owner's."

"It sounds fun, I know a spell that lets me do things like that but I don't get to use it much," Marie says.

[Anastasia]

"...One could look at it that way," Antenora finally says, "Very well, I trust your judgment, Alicia."

[Ebiris]

Thus they go off to the hidden cave where Alicia has placed the icon, its sense intensifying effects reduced down to their minimum radius and intensity. Bringing Marie, Antenora, and Jessica before it, she uses its power to make the three of them into anarchs.

[Anastasia]

Done and done. It's easy enough now, the power of the icon flowing outward.

"Thank you, sister. Shall we visit Limbo and test it?" Jessica asks.

[Ebiris]

As she looks at the icon she remembers Baleruk's words and the prospect that it could be awakened to full sapience, wondering what sort of being it would be...

But not today.

"Lets take a short trip then, yes," she agrees. "Do the rest of you want to come?"

"I'll stay here with Antenora," Marie speaks up, hugging Antenora's side. "This has been trying enough for her without going that far."

[Anastasia]

Antenora smiles but says, "Nonsense. I will see this through until the end, and I would be a fool to pass up training that may benefit us all in the future."

[Ebiris]

"Come on then, our avatars will look after things in Sylica while we absent ourselves," Alicia first teleports them away from the icon's hiding spot before she opens a gate to Limbo. Their target being close to the fortress they attacked Jade at, near enough to at least see it if it's still there.

[Anastasia]

Simple enough. When you return, there's no sign of the fortress - only a great expanse of burning trees and floating hunks of water, drizzling rain down on them. The steam that rises curls into squirrels, which frolic amid the trees.

[Ebiris]

So what's the Anarch ability for me to add to Marie's sheet? Since she can't use the version Alicia has.

for reference:
Anarch (Ex): You are now talented at controlling limbo. You may treat an area of up to one mile per divine rank as if being your divine realm for the sake of controlling it and creating things there.

Limbo's reclaimed it then. She wonders whatever happened to that golem Marie suborned.

"Well, feel free to exercise yourselves to your heart's content," Alicia invites everyone as a gesture with her hand causes the chaotic mass ahead of them to reshape itself into a vast vertical checker board pattern of alternating squares water and fire, steam wafting off the edges.

"I can't believe you made something so boring..." Marie mutters as she looks at the simple, even, and regular pattern before them.

"... it was just an example," Alicia retorts, just a little bit stung by that as she closes her fist and the great checker board pattern collapses into a sphere and solidifies as dark brown rock, a coating of white snow adorning the top half of it and seeming to drip downwards over the rest.

[Anastasia]

Gimme a d100 for Marie? How strong an anarch you are varies as well, remember. Someone like the slaad is the extreme end of talent. Ithea and Moore are powerful but much more modest talents compared to him, and there's smaller and larger talents than those two.

[Ebiris]

[17:31] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100
[17:31] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 100 > [d100=100]

[Anastasia]

Well. Uh. Okay. Gimme a second d100, we're going to the big table for her now.

[Ebiris]

[17:32] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100
[17:33] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d100=3]

[Anastasia]

Precise Anarch (Ex)

Marie is a natural talent at controlling small parts of Limbo with perfect precision. She can control up to 200ft around herself as an anarch, but without any need for a roll.

[Ebiris]

"That looks like a pudding!" Marie declares when she sees Alicia's next creation. "Alright let me try now..." she closes her eyes and concentrates, Limbo altering to her will.

A tree then appears, and yet it's a tree with no roots instead being mirrored on the bottom with branches and a leafy canopy stretching both up and down. It grows and grows, boughs growing heavy and collapsing down towards the centre as a profusion of leaves continues to grow until it's a great big leafy ball.

"Hmm..." she looks at what Alicia's made and then at her own creation. "Too many spheres," she declares as her tree catches fire.
