A new sultan?

It is a lie, Seira speaks directly to Ranbar's soul. That feeling of void is a lie Shar is trying to impose on reality. It will only work if you let it affect you! So resist it, or power through it until you can throw it off!

"Hey, Luneli," she says at the same time. "You've stopped singing. Are you giving up while Selune is going toe to toe with Shar up above? I refuse to believe anyone she personally chose is a quitter!"

The battlefield feels darker after that, everything dimmer. There seems to be silence more than anything else, just the distant sounds of war as silently, the maws gather and reform again, more shadows restoring themselves from obliteration.

Reactions on their turns, to be clear.

Init is The Chasms (60) > Seira (51) > Ranbar (48) > Luneli (47) > Great Wall of Shadows (44) > The Tower (38)

Going to AoO as the Chasms come again?

Corwin · August 06, 2019, 04:38:49 PM

Yes. Also, I'll counterspell anything.

22:38 <Seira> roll 6#1d20+75+40
22:38 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 132, 132, 117, 131, 120, 135 >
22:38 <Seira> roll 6#6d10+95+40+1d6+3d8
22:38 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 178, 186, 187, 196, 185, 179 >

Again you hold the chasms at bay, bites tearing them apart, range letting you protect you and yours from them - at least for now. For the moment you're safe.

Go.

Corwin · August 07, 2019, 12:56:19 PM

Due to the wonders of parallel evolution, Seira's idea is similar to Alicia's. With the enemies driven away, she casts the barrier she had erected earlier to protect her companions. Then, she calls upon her divine power to grant them hope as she prepares to advance once more on Shar's manse!

Swift to cast dispel magic and kill my spell, swift to emulate Mass Improvisation on Luneli and Ranbar via Miracle, move to channel Many Moments of Prescience, standard to smack Ranbar and channel the spell into her.

+17 luck to a roll for Luneli and Ranbar, 2 uses total each.
+30 insight to a roll for Ranbar, 4 uses total.

Ranbar shudders deeply at this, "S-Seira!" She looks up in unhidden relief, eyes wet with tears.

Luneli shakes his head, "Damn," he mutters, "Sharran tricks everywhere."

Shadow hell is up.

Again they tear at you, ever striking and ever hungry, ever assaulting you as...

Tower, letting Alicia catch up.

Shar plays games with our hearts, but what she tries to take I'll be here to protect. Believe in me!

Give me Diplo here on that, just for my own reference.

Gonna use some of my precast Improvisation myself, here.

Anastasia · August 07, 2019, 02:29:12 PM

Missiles fly true as in the sky above Shar and Selune battle. Shar races in towards the moon as a beam of moonfire flies, then splits into two. Shar jukes to one side, taking a hit to her hip, the avatar struck. At the same time the other is deflected away, suffused with dark energy as you see it split into many, raining down on the battlefield.

> roll 1d20 this is purely a crit check since as a greater deity she maximizes her rolls
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d20=20]

Auto hit. Anyone have miss chance or any protection against rays?

Corwin · August 07, 2019, 02:34:52 PM

I do!

Aegis of the Tarrasque
The most powerful aspect of the shield is it's ability to reflect lines, cones and rays. Any such attack targeted at the user has a 50% chance of being harmlessly deflected away.

If this misses I'm totally using an immediate to hit Shar with its reflection instead. If it does hit, I'll remind you that I have Spell Turning. Ranbar, too, has Spell Turning.

Spell Reflection
You gain the supernatural ability to reflect magical attacks back on their caster. If an enemy misses with a spell or spell-like ability aimed at you you can use an immediate action to redirect the effect back at its original caster. This effect only applies to spells and spell-like abilities that require an attack roll. Other spells and spell-like abilities that affect a target aren't subject to spell reflection.

Anastasia · August 07, 2019, 02:46:26 PM

Sure, gimme the percentile roll for it.

Corwin · August 07, 2019, 02:47:02 PM

20:46 <Seira> roll 1d100

360 damage all. OW.

Ranbar pops fortunate fate, being put to -29 from the crit. Ow.

Pain. All the world is pain for Seira as she's hit, Ranbar screaming as her chest is just gone and Luneli's left side is a massacre of blood. Yet a flare of magic restored enough, Ranbar gasping and coughing as....the Tower.

The Tower is glowing again - this time a dozen shadows briefly flare around Seira as...

Run, little dragon.

Help comes, Seira.

Yet even amid this, amid screams of battle from that strike? The Chasms are coming for you again and...

AoOs?
