Silken touch

[Anastasia]

Okay.

Init is Talona (Supreme Init) > Alicia (Supreme Init) > Jessica (36) > Syala (20)

The tent rises up, and with a powerful squat, leaps high into the air. It's 120ft up now and on the roof, standing atop it in defiance of gravity, flipped upside down. A field of sickly yellow light surrounds it, like a glassy barrier.

Go.

[Ebiris]

So what magic did the tent have left on it after the last dispel?

[Anastasia]

It has 7 spells left on it. Are you looking for details? Feel free if you want 'em.

[Ebiris]

Eh. Nevermind, the one that actually makes it work as a magic item is really the only one I care about.

Alicia dispels the tent again!

One of them will get through and it'll be really satisfying to see everyone crammed in tight as the extradimensional space fails. Or ejected onto the astral or falling out of the tent, something like that.

She's not going into the tent to fight Talona on her prepared ground. A lot of mistakes have been made today but she's not that reckless.

Presumably she's applied more spells to it but it's out of arcane sight range for me to see, so how many dispels here?

Probably a lucky outcome.

There's a bursting tear, a sound of something giving way, as the legs vanish. The tent plummets to the ground, landing softly on the broken and pitted terrain.

Free act.

[Ebiris]

Can I sense anything inside the tent with tremorsense/blindsight or just plain hearing it?

[Anastasia]

Nothing. To all senses it seems like a plain, uninteresting tent now.

[Ebiris]

"I think that knocked them all loose into the astral plane," Alicia says, moving closer to the tent so she can determine more accurately what happened.

Within 60 feet for arcane sight.

Any checks? Knowledge or spellcraft?

[Anastasia]

Yes, but you auto pass since the DC's not that bad.

That's precisely what happened, you can tell. Right now Talona and a bunch of hers and her possessions are in the Astral Plane.

Jessica alights next to you before, "Well...we stopped her, at least. For now."

"We can call this a draw," Syala agrees, "But damn it, we let our own desire to stop her get the best of us. Of course she was prepared to live up to her threat."

[Ebiris]

Flames consume the crumpled tent as Alicia brings a flame strike down on it.

"When gods posture, mortals suffer. We're not the ones who paid the price here," she says unhappily.

Is there any movement or sign of life at all left withing Windglum?

[Anastasia]

Not here - but deeper below you can sense movement.

"Speak for yourself, sister," Jessica says softly, a hand to her solid and intact throat. "I paid, but was blessed to be able to afford it. They were not, and for all the fiends who met oblivion from this, I have no doubt innocent souls suffered as well."

[Ebiris]

And the last thing they heard was Alicia telling them she's here. What a miserable thought.

"No one deserved what was inflicted here. Either way, neither we nor Talona can find what we sought. Lets go home," she opens a gate back to Sylica.

[Anastasia]

"No." Syala turns away from the gate. "I don't care. Someone might have...or maybe below..." Her voice is tighter, "We made a mistake. I'll at least see if I can do anything to make it a slight bit better."

She ignores the howling of the wind and the miserable rain, walking forward. "Go home if you want."

Jessica looks longingly at Sylica beyond, but lets out a gusty sigh. "No, I'd be a worse person if I let you wander this hell hole alone."
