The duty to live

[Ebiris]

Marie will offer a CL 36 epic mage armour (+22 armour AC) to anyone that wants it.
Alicia will offer Many Moments of Prescience (CL 38) through divine familiar bullshit to anyone that wants it.

Alicia will maintain Recitation (CL 36) +3 luck AC/attack/saves for the Sylica group. Sulia is suggested to cast her own otherwise she only gets +2.

Marie will do songs and things when we get there.

Sulia will do so. Additionally she'll provide mass death ward (CL36) and sublime revelry(CL36) to anyone who wants those.

Antenora will offer opal protection to all those who want it as well, CL38.

[Ebiris]

We'll take those, sure.

Thus spells are cast and prepared. Empress Sulia is in her battle garb and ready to go, while Antenora matches her. "Dust demons," she muses aloud, "Must demons ruin everything?"

"Shhh, you don't want to give them ideas about sunshine demons," Marie chastises as Alicia opens a gate to about two miles away from Xinin Nor.

Antenora cracks a smile at that and adds, "Sunshine demons? That's one thing I don't think Lathander would allow."

[Ebiris]

"No one wants to see them, but don't think someone won't try it if you put the idea in their head," Marie says, following Alicia through the gate onto Dust.

[Anastasia]

Cold.

The air is cold, bitter and dead.

Thin, dry dust blows through the air as you float in nothing.

A howling wind is heard, one that scythes across everything. A wind and an air and a realm that gnaws at you, yet finds no purchase on divinity.

[Ebiris]

As Marie vanishes and an illusory image takes her place, Alicia senses ahead for what's on the rock...

5 mile blindsight via sensual blessing even if the dust makes seeing with the eyes impossible.

Marie is using superior invis and project image. Anything with special senses that would otherwise see through the projected image needs to make a sense motive check that beats Marie's bluff check of...

[Anastasia]

You can feel it ahead, the rock and the building. A building that comes out of the top and the bottom of it, like two twins buildings opposing each other.

Rather Bytopian, really.

[Ebiris]

Any creatures on/around the exterior?

[Anastasia]

None that you see.

[Ebiris]

"No exterior patrols or guards," Alicia says. "Unless they're ethereal or extremely good at stealth."

Regardless they move in, Alicia compressing space to bring them closer to the end which has the larger structure on it. If they're identical then whichever one is 'up' relative to their current orientation will do.

[Anastasia]

"One moment," Sulia murmurs before you do that. She peers ahead and then shakes her head. "Nothing, either. Continue, dear."

[Ebiris]

Alicia nods to Sulia and they press on as planned, no singing from Marie to lighten their spirits just yet.
