This time, you know the trick. You know the lies.

Ever distant but bright even now, you feel the warmth of the light of Chronias behind you. An illusion? Not quite, something real, even if unseen.

Opal light comes from Antenora as she meets the false celestial's gaze, "No." A single word, a rejection so complete that it drips contempt.

Malcanthet laughs, "I know exactly what I am, little demon." Another snap of her fingers, another wave of power over all of you.

"Your lies are hurtful, but the truth hurts more doesn't it?" Alicia asks, a twist of space bringing her closer before she enlarges in size, enough to threaten all of the foes ahead with a single deadly sweep of her blade!

Five foot step, swift to change size to colossal, quickened true strike, whirlwind attack.

Give me a d100 for miss chance, thanks.

[Ebiris]

I used true strike specifically to avoid miss chance but in case it's one that doesn't use concealment...

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+3 Syala --> [ 1d20=20 ]{23}

False Celestial and Witch have other immunities, head takes the negative level on the chin.

Alicia's blade cuts deep. The false celestial is blooded, blade drawing no blood but cutting deep. Syala bares her teeth as her shoulder is gashed open as she's slammed back. As the head is dashed into the ground, rising back up, Syala leaps at you with savage, hungry anger, going to tear right into you.

Provokes AoO.

-15 damage or -30 on a crit since I forgot to subtract the smite evil damage there.

[Anastasia]

Yet Syala's too fast, growing larger to pounce on you, claws out and a mouthful of teeth to tear into you.

Those claws sink in - and tear her chest even though they're far too small, as if they were sized to hurt her. Blood flows as she bites into your flesh, chewing noisily, "Alicia, you always beg for my kisses," she mocks as you endure, moving to force her back. It buys you precious moments as...

Init is False Celestial (Supreme) > Malcanthet (Supreme) > Alicia (Supreme) > Syala? (Supreme) > Burnt Witch (37) > Antenora (20) > Severed Head (8)

From the Burnt Witch comes a whisper of flame, one that caresses all of you like a lover's embrace, hot as hellfire. Flames dance around you front, sides and back as if you were engulfed in them.

> roll 1d20+47
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+47 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{55}

Beats up to SR 55. Note if it doesn't beat yours. Otherwise, fort all. Pierces immunity and resistance as you'd expect here.

[Ebiris]

> roll 1d20+84 Malcanthet
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+84 Malcanthet --> [ 1d20=10 ]{94}

240 fire damage all. Alicia takes none thanks to mettle, Antenora takes none thanks to mettle and Malcanthet takes half. Antenora's very happy she has divine rank to cover that 1.

Yet Alicia's seen worse, fared with worse. She endures the fire even as her front is bloodstained and bloodied now, enduring the wet sounds of Syala chewing.

Antenora is simply at your side, her hand sufficient to mend your wounds.

Antenora's up. She drops her entire lay on hands bank on Alicia for 555 points of healing. 110 more from divine succor for 665 healing. She uses her other swift for Opal Inviolability on you. It grants the following benefits:

Opal Inviolability
Abjuration [Good]
Level: Pal 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (25ft + 5ft/2 levels)
Target: 1 creature
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell wreathes the target in an opal aura. The target gains several bonuses, all of which only apply against attacks from evil creatures: Spell resistance equal to 12 + caster level, +4 sacred bonus to armor class and saving throws, damage reduction 10/- and a protection from evil effect. In addition, the target gains immunity to the unholy damage of a unholy weapon, the unholy damage of a spell modified with the corrupt spell metamagic, the fear aura of devils and the form of madness of obyriths.

Meanwhile the head rises and returns to the false celestial, whispering horrid words of the Dark Speech to him.

Then, with a howl of fury, the false celestial matches you. His size matches yours as other opponents are pushed aside, just the two of you.

THERE WILL BE NO MERCY!

The Gemstone of Truth glows crimson hot against your chest.

There are many of him that fan out, but it's a lie. Only one is before you, the others little more than phantasms. As you bring up your sword to defend yourself, Syala snarling away, you can see even this one is a phantasm. A lie.

Give me a Will save.
