Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

"Well, it looks like it's the more manual way. One moment, you may want to step back." Moore says as he gestures to open a Gate spell to Shatterpoint instead!

[Anastasia]

Where are you opening the gate relative to everyone else?

[Nephrite]

At least 20 feet away from himself, with everyone else assumedly behind him./i]

[Anastasia]

Thus you open the portal - and immediately a spray of jagged shards of stone and volcanic glass spews out, over all of you. "DODGE!" Kaja manages to get out before anything else, as...

Ref all.

This is not going to be Xandra's adventure.

Out of pure reflexes and insight Moore dives aside, the spray errant. Cresiel and Jetina fall behind their shields while  Sylvie just isn't there, a blur away as Kaja shields himself with his blades. Xandra brings her wings around but is peppered with shards before the gate collapses.

Once it's done Sylvie blurts back in and dusts herself off, "It's like the plane of Please Die, We Hate All Life."

Cresiel lowers his shield once it's past, "We may wish to appear somewhat adjacent to the Shatterpoint, rather than directly within it."

[Nephrite]

"We'll have to deal with this if we go in regardless. Give me a moment and I will protect us." Moore says.  "I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed, but we'll have to deal with explosions no matter what, I think."

Since he isn't concentrating on it the Gate will close.

Moore will give everyone Inspire Greatness and Inspire Heroics. If we run into an actual fight he can use the offensive ones.

This will give everyone the following:

[12:51] <Nephrite> roll 10d10 temp HP
[12:51] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 61 > [d10=5,5,3,9,10,3,8,9,2,7]

61+whatever their con mod is x 10 in temp HP. I need to update my quick reference guide, but for everyone that is the following:

Moore: 90
Cresiel: 160
Xandra: 90
Kaja: 80
Jetina: 70
Sylvie: 90

So everyone gets 61+that in temp HP.

+10 to Attack rolls, +4 competence to fort saves.

In addition, everyone gets +14 morale bonus to saves and +14 dodge to AC.

Because of Song of Hope, everyone also gains the following:

fast healing 11, and gain damage reduction 11/-. These effects last for as long as the creatures are affected by Moore's bardic music.

Let's have Jetina give us Celestial Valor, as well as Mass Energy Immunity to Fire to just cover our bases.

Once all of that is sorted, Moore will just open another Gate, because from his perspective there's no way to really avoid this exploding nonsense unless someone wants to offer a different suggestion.

[Anastasia]

Okay, is that it for boosts?

Also the gate collapsed regardless, so bear that in mind.

[Nephrite]

Oh, I missed that. Yes. Then I suppose we should go somewhere close to Shatterpoint, or as close as we can get with another Gate.

And yes, that's all of the buffs for now.

[Anastasia]

Sure, just need a call on where exactly you're aiming for now.

[Nephrite]

Let's call it 2000 feet from the edge of Shatterpoint? It doesn't necessarily matter which "edge" we're talking, if that makes sense.

[Anastasia]

Your gate opens.

"Let's go," Sylvie says, once she's done healing Xandra and Kaja.

[Nephrite]

Moore will fly through as well!

[Anastasia]

You stand in a tight cavern, a single passage ahead. The sound of explosions echos all about, like a constant din.

[spoiler]

Add celestial valor later.

Fast healing 11, and gain damage reduction 11/-. These effects last for as long as the creatures are affected by Moore's bardic music.

Let's have Jetina give us Celestial Valor, as well as Mass Energy Immunity to Fire to just cover our bases.
