In a flash of gold the dark justicars are immolated all around you and then some. A zone of goldenfire channeled clears the way ahead, as you see glimpsed.

Empress Sulia holds her grounds as her allies rally around her, advancing against the shadows.

Alicia far ahead, glimpsed amid the goldenfire, her allies at war with her.

A dwarf amid many dwarves, leading them onward slowly but inevitably. An example of all dwarven kind, a warrior leading many warriors bravely, resolutely. You feel the power and presence of Moradin, advancing against this darkness.

As dark justicars scream as goldenfire finds them, you see the moon and the shadows wage war above, seemingly endless now.

Chance to react since that was a long post and I want to get Alicia's first post out.

[Corwin]

Onwards! Seira cheers, urging her companions to catch up to her. Let Shar do her worst, and let her fail!

[Anastasia]

Just so I'm clear on it after a weekend interruption, where did you position at the end of your time stop move?

[Corwin]

About 1,400ft ahead of Ranbar and Luneli. And about 1,400ft behind Alicia who hopped ahead with her team.

[Anastasia]

Awesome, thanks.

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

Okay, just to speed this along - are you going to AoO attacking shadows this round? If so roll it up.

[Corwin]

Sure, why not? I'm just not in Gambit, but I surely have reach over them.

You tear asunder shadows that emerge from the darkness around you, as yet more relentlessly attack, relentlessly assault you. You're awash in seemingly endless shadows. You withstand this as you can, unbowed in defiance of Shar's spite. The moon and Shar above you do war - blade against blade, shadows against silvery moonlight. You can feel each blow and parry, each one crackling in your bones like forceful thunder.

Somehow Shar strikes true on each blow, tiny things yet effective against Selune as she is. Blasts likewise strike Shar despite her defenses, her avatar being struck in return. A savage battle for certain as...

Your turn, Seira. Go.

Seira summons fire elementals who take positions all around her to support her better, while a crown of flames appears upon her head! Waiting for her companions, Seira shines brightly for miles across to harass the shadows around here!

Your flames burn bright and powerful, radiant against the shadows. They war against it, holding its own for now. As they do the shadows recoil back - they aren't attacking, at least for the moment, as Luneli and Ranbar reach you.

"I can still fight," Ranbar says right away, while Luneli trots up to you.

[Corwin]

"I should hope so! We've been winning all over, and Selune's going evenly with Shar up above," Seira tells her cheerfully. "Let's press on and crush any opposition. Even if it's effortless for Shar, it's still distracting and mental fatigue accumulates no matter how many avatars you offload this task to."

We will advance!

[Anastasia]

Next round begins since everyone went and just waiting on that.

It is then you see them, winking into reality over two miles away. Spheres of nothing, a dozen - three dozen - twelve dozen - hundreds. More and more Eyes of Shar are appearing ahead, gathering. At the same time the ground abruptly erupts, great yearning chasms lined with teeth. They rise up, space twisting as they pursue you, looking to pull you into the earth and consume you whole. So many of them, more by the moment, multiplying rapidly.

Yet in the distance you see it. A tower. Some sort of tower, some sort of edifice. It is hazy even to your divine vision, a promise of something as the Song of Shar rallies, growing stronger.

Chance to react Seira since I need a sec.

[Corwin]

"Let me protect you for a moment," Seira tells Ranbar and Luneli, placing a resilient sphere around them before exploding in massive blasts of flames!

The largest radius to hit as much as I can without getting allies: Widened Greater Fireburst x2
