All three of you halve this damage.

The blast is massive, leavign the ground shaking and the Shadow Shar reeling back. Whatever that was has your ears ringing, as amid the lunar battle above, horrors held back? The wave is getting closer. It's roaring in fast and atop it you see them standing atop it. Hundreds of warriors clad in armor and arms, all night black and riding in. Sharran dark justicars, Seira's knowledge tells her, warriors dedicated to Shar's service.

Selune!

Let the light of the moon vanquish every shadow before me!

Far above you see it - a warrior clad in darkness, flickering. A dancer, erotic and stunning. A creeping shadow, hands outreaching. So many and more, for you feel it. An avatar of Shar, approaching Selune.

Init is Seira (51) > Ranbar (48) > Luneli (47) > Great Wall of Shadows (44) > Shadow Shar (43) > Wave (0)

Hey, it's the head night walker!

Since things seem to be heating up, Seira does her best to help that along by setting herself on fire and striking at Shar's pale shadow!

Swift for Heal, swift for Dragonfire Wrath, full attack shadow 'Shar'!

Init is Seira (51) > Ranbar (48) > Luneli (47) > Great Wall of Shadows (44) > Wave (0)

With full savagery and wrath, Seira grabs the Shadow Shar and tears it apart in both claws, again sundering it. This buys her a moment to heal further, calling on more of her power, gathering more of it deeply inside of her.

"We have to do something about the wave," Luneli shouts, "Can you?"

[Corwin]

"Yes, as it happens," Seira calls back. "The two of you, stick together. Ranbar go for magic-boosted melee to try it out."

[Anastasia]

Ranbar nods nad braces then, ready to intercept the wave when it comes.

Luneli does the same, bracing as, "Then we break the wall when it gets to us."

Okay, Alicia needs to catch up since the wall shenanigans and how you all deal with this needs to be in tandem. More after that.

[Corwin]

Seira prepares to get some distance from her two companions so that she could use her more explosive spells at leisure....

Incidentally, distance to the wave and its apparent speed of movement per round would be useful.

[Anastasia]

It's 3000ft away and closing in -fast-. This round fast.

[Corwin]

Since I already killed stuff this round, unless Luneli can grant me an extra action as the wave approaches I can only hope it doesn't arrive entirely this round.

[Anastasia]

Flashes of light. Ahead, radiant storms slam into the wave as part of is gone, expanding as an assault from many comes. A flash of light as another radiant storm bursts, Empress Sulia glimpsed in the air standing tall. A silver blast of moonlight disintegrates more of the wall, and then it comes.

Fire, ice, lightning, winds, force, stone. Walls, blasts, bursts. A steady barrage batters the wall amid this all. With the army holding well, no one overwhelmed? It is enough. The wave putters out, broken, dark justicars taking to the battlefield amid it all.

A gruff voice is heard now, yet undeniably commanding. Fight with all the strength of the stones.

Init is Seira (51) > Ranbar (48) > Luneli (47) > Great Wall of Shadows (44)

Go Seira, you have a relative lull in combat. Dark justicars range from 3000ft away to 1000ft away - they're scattered. For reference, Alicia's 3000ft ahead facing down a fuck off huge army.

[Corwin]

Since the battlefield got reshuffled and I can both see and affect other teams, I would appreciate some information.

-You said the army is roughly 2 miles across in #e, but here the enemies are listed as 1000ft to 3000ft away. Which is it?
-Since the wave is broken and everyone is scattered, is there a spot where all/most of the enemies can be hit except those directly in melee with others? Assuming I can travel there, of course.

[Anastasia]

The army ahead is an army of Faces of Loss, the dark justicars are scattered about from the wave and another force altogether.

If you mean the dark justicars, they're fairly scattered and tough to get too many of them in a radius unless you're taking huge radius spells.

[Corwin]

Seira stops time.

At her speed, catching up to Alicia is the work of moments, and Seira leaves a few surprises past her friend's range that would explode against fresh enemies as time resumes before dropping back to the midway spot between Alicia's group and Luneli and Ranbar.

And then, as time resumes, a great deal explodes in fire!

20:40 <Seira> roll 1d4+1
20:40 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 4 > [d4=3]

Round 1: Run for 1,400ft, one swift to emulate Arcane Spellsurge, one swift for Arcane Thesis

Round 3: Move for 350ft further, two swifts for Widened Enhanced Maximized Delayed Blast Fireball x2 (distance for them ~1,510ft from Alicia and friends, that's also their radius), move for 350ft back
Round 4: Run for 1,400ft back, swift for Spell Enhancer, swift for True Casting; predicting the use of Widened Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Greater Fireburst

Time resumes: Widened Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Greater Fireburst x2 (radius ~1,400ft, enough to not hit my guys or Alicia due to stopping midway between them)

No longer using Gambit.
