Just to be sure since important rolling, any bonuses in play that I might miss?

[Corwin]

Not this time, no.

Together all of you throw your will against Shar, light and warmth and everything good.

Yet Shar resists. She's too strong - you need more. Her laughter is mocking as you struggle against her, and in a whisper, "Is that it, Seira?"

[Corwin]

I'm open to fresh ideas, Seira tells the others.

[Anastasia]

So am I. Fast.

Retreat or full commitment. That's the only thing that makes sense here. We've walked into the trap, we either flee in defeat or fight to the end.

[Corwin]

Having thought that she was doing this for real, Seira asks Amaryl, What do you mean? How much more of a commitment can we make beyond what we did?

[Anastasia]

As in we do the opposite of retreat. A turn of phrase.

[Corwin]

Well then. Maybe they can try harder after all? Ridiculously harder? Seira imbues everyone on her side with magic and then decides to try again!

Let's go back to the basics! Focus on light to the exclusion of all else!

Miracle'd Good Hope to all, Miracle'd Improvisation to all. If everyone can support me for +2 each, good. If not, let's roll.
Bonuses to ability rolls are +2 from Good Hope, +18 from Improvisation.

[Anastasia]

Init is Shar's Avatar (Supreme) > Amaryl's Avatar (Supreme) > Seira's Avatar (Supreme) > Donald = Ranbar (23)

Go for it. Charisma checks, all.

Donald helps bring home the bacon here.

This time it's a sheer imposition of will, of light and power.  There's a moment where you all push, where light comes. As you make more and more come...?

Are any of you anarchs? In other words did you use Alicia's statue like it was bantered?

[Corwin]

All of us are anarchs via Alicia's statue, yes.

[Anastasia]

Your light wars against the darkness, boosted by your magic and taken to great peaks. You all feel shielded by the light, a corona of it around all of you that buys you precious time as you alter reality and demand it to change.

Yet as it does, suddenly the emptiness returns, an assault pressing against all of you as - !

Fort all.
