Walking to Rosewater

[Anastasia]

A pair of guards are just inside and the passage quickly slopes downwards and onwards, heading towards the main areas below.

[Ebiris]

'Two guards. Make yourselves invisible, I'm changing from the invisibility sphere now,' Alicia warns the others, still sand-sized and making herself conventionally invisible so she can end the sphere effect once the others do the same. 'I'll slip inside, kill the guards, and then open the door for you to follow.'

[Anastasia]

'Ready,' Antenora sends, as the others do the same.

[Ebiris]

Tiny as she is, Alicia can easily fit through a gap between the door and the frame so she can actually see what's on the other side with eyes instead of esoteric senses now.

[Anastasia]

A simple, well enough lit tunnel. Two incubi guards are here, lounging and sitting by each other. They're tossing dice and looking disinterested at best.

[Ebiris]

This needs to be instant before they can get any sort of telepathic warning off, so Alicia positions behind one of the incubi and sends a needle-thin beam of silver fire coring through his skull, out his eye, and then through the skull of his companion.

Silver fire instantly consumes them, the dice dropping to the ground. They're gone like that, burned away in silver fire.

[Ebiris]

Reverting to normal size, Alicia checks for any magic on this side of the door that might have been hidden from the outside. Lead cored wood is a thing sometimes!

[Anastasia]

You're correct. There's a few alarm spells of varying types on the door, set to trigger if anyone but a demon opens the door.

[Ebiris]

That's easily circumvented at least, Alicia simply preventing any magic from functioning.

Anti-magic field SLA used. Does that nix all the alarms? Being careful in case a proxy or demon lord cast any of them so they'd survive in antimagic!

[Anastasia]

Sure enough, they endure. A divine creature cast these, no doubt.

You're on the ball today.

[Ebiris]

She ends the antimagic then. 'Be a moment, if Violet isn't a proxy then someone who was or Malcanthet herself cast the magic alarms here. They won't dispel easily'

Violet is a better spellcaster than her, galling as it is to admit. However she has left an obvious hole in the defences.

Can I cast summon spells here while the astral links are severed?

[Anastasia]

No.

[Ebiris]

Marie actually would be useful here. Or Jessica, they could easily trick the alarms into thinking that they're demons. Not a skill anyone here possesses however, so she'll just have to get creative.

If I shrink down enough to fit between door and doorframe, can I get line of effect on either side of it to connect two squares with space compression?

[Anastasia]

Yeah, sure.
