The rain trickles to a stop, its deadly work done. Ahead are empty streets, but farther ahead is a clearing. In that clearing sits a single tent. A mundane tent, something barely of notice had you merely glanced at it and see it elsewhere. However, it is surrounded with bloated corpses, towering piles of them.

Another twist of space, Alicia replacing dance of the unicorn, brings Alicia and company to within 60 feet of that tent and the piles of corpses.

The tent is quite well warded, but not quite well enough for you. You can see the tent is vastly larger on the inside, it's own place. A palace perhaps, mobile as a tent is mobile. It's also protected to the gills, with enough poison, curses and miseries if anyone tries to move it or damage it that it would be nigh suicidal to even try.

"Behind me, and prepare," Alicia tells Syala and Jessica, tossing up a wall of force between them so they won't be caught in the radius of any of those poisons or curses when Alicia drops a driving rain of desolation down on the tent.

For good measure she also twists space between herself and the tent so that anything fired at her from it will just hit the back of the tent instead.

Quickened wall of force to barrier off Syala and Jessica, please use the time to buff yourselves.

Standard for rain of desolation. Targeted dispel and cold damage depending on the number of dispels, how many to roll?

Alicia's running recitation so everyone should have:

Recitation, CL 36, +3 luck AC/attack/saves

Anastasia

Jessica shifts into shadow form, dark and indistinct now. At the same time Syala draws blessings onto herself, bolstering her.

Shadow form lets her burn HP for up to +15 bonuses to several things, including saves. Meanwhile Syala drops Syala's blessing on herself for +constitution and more fort saves.

Also, you have one problem with your plan:

All creatures within the radius are treated as being affected by a targeted greater dispel magic (maximum dispel check modifier of +30).

Tent isn't a creature and thus not a valid target.

A great deal of the magic crumbles around it, fizzling out as you work your will to weaken the protections of this tent.

Perception before anything else.

It's distant, but you hear a single footstep back and behind, atop a battered and rain-pitted roof, even as the winds of Pandemonium continue to howl.

Ebiris

Can I make out the owner of that footstep with blindsight?

Anastasia

Yes. It is the same withered woman as you saw when Syala saved Jessica.

Your senses take her in - an avatar, not the true Talona.

I'm gonna go fuck her up. Init?

Supreme init and DvR 5 and all. But still, real Talona's obviously in the vicinity too and I don't know what she has.
