Radius of the sunburst?

[Ebiris]

720 damage to the unlucky shadow at ground zero. 300 damage to every other shadow within 180 feet. 36 damage to any non-undead within the area, 72 if they're an evil outsider.

Edit: Checking the spell, it's actually 160 feet!

The burst of sunlight hits the onrushing army head on. The lead shadow is simply gone, bleached away and leaving not even a mark behind it. The rest swarm, the head of the spear broken but all the shaft still coming your way.

As this happens, the lesser shadows again manifest, tearing at all you, never giving you a moment's peace.

Amid this Latha endures, seeing the army approach.

> roll 7d6+7
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 28 > [d6=1,1,4,3,2,4,6]

Anything close to her recoils from her sunlight, as she stands firm at Alicia's side, ready to meet them.

She'll hold and lay into them when they get here. Her spell selection isn't great for this particular task, and Miss Missile Marie may change this calculus again.

'Marie, can you soften them up for me?' Antenora sends quickly.

130 damage to everything within 6800 feet, 4 negative levels for any of them that are alive. (also should've been 4 and not 2 negative levels last round).

How does that make things look before I have Marie take her actions?

The vanguard and front ranks are smacked hard, more and more hit and knocked back by them. It's scoring successes, but there's so many, more coming even as you down some and wound others. Those you entangle move little, but fresh Faces of Loss coming, twisting and writing into images only faintly remembered - fragments, nothing more, seeming not to manifest into painful nightmares - yet.

[Ebiris]

Marie looks unhappy at how resilient these undead are and disrupts her song long enough to cast another round of spells before she picks up her voice again.

134 damage to everything bad within 6800 feet and 4 negative levels to anything living. Also entangled.

The plane of shadow is lit up with thousands of glowing projectiles streaking unerringly in all directions radiating from Marie to splash against shadows and justicars alike, weighing them down with energy draining globs of force if they're not killed outright!

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Army of Faces of Loss (38) > Marie (37)

Funny story, something got mangled somewhere Friday - Marie was behind the army in init - but I'm going to make the executive decision to let it lie and adjust init instead.

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37) > Army (36)

Marie's missiles strike fast and true, slamming into the army ahead. It covers many of them, doing considerable damage - it's not just one hit but many, enough to blunt the advance further. Yet at this broken advance, Antenora charging in, plunging into the ranks in a detonation of holy power.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 1000 > [d8=6,7,6][d6=1,5,4,3,4,4,4,6,5,2,1]

With the spear of the attack broken, Antenora is able to charge in, plunging deep into the ranks. Faces of lost erupt in opal blue light and are torn apart by it, Antenora carving a deep, long path ahead. Faces shift in a thousand ways, all in vain to this assault as the survivors pour forward, leaving behind those entangled or broken, the attack being pressed as...

The darkness chafes and burns, a feeling of violation as you all are attacked, amid the army in earnest now. You're fighting for your lives against the assault as goldenfire flashes, illuminating all a moment as...

Already colossal, Alicia grows further, becoming something far greater than a titan, bestriding the battlefield as blades taller than mountains now scythe through the mass of shadows assailing them!

Already at the maximum size category, but now going to the maximum size available with Alter Size since hopefully that'll interact better with the army rules despite my space/reach officially remaining 30/30 feet.

[Anastasia]

Sure and that's something I'll need to account for in the rules when they go final, so good call. How big can you get?

[Ebiris]

"This ability allows a deity to assume any proportions from the size of a grain of sand up to as much as 1600ft tall."

Not quite mountain sized swords after all, but maybe as big as the Chrysler Building!

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'll assume 'big enough here.

Alicia's whirlwind of a blow slices through hundreds of faces of loss at once, standing against the tide. Great hunks of it are devastated, already softened by Marie's missiles and Antenora's charge. What's left of the army quails and breaks, scattering around you. As it does...

Come closer.

A black nexus appears, a portal shimmering with shadows. As the faces of loss scatter, the invitation ahead is clear.

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37)

Chance to react to that.

[Ebiris]

"Would anyone actually fall for that?" Alicia asks scornfully.

[Anastasia]

Standing true now that the shadows are broken, "We will not."

The portal begins to expand - you can tell it's erupting with your arcane power, seconds away from becoming a massive rift, akin to something like a staff of the magi being broken.

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Portal (60) >  Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Portal (40) > Marie (37) > Portal (20) > Portal (0)

Did you have any swifts left, Alicia?
