A blessed homefront

[Anastasia]

"Killing Sharrans is a public service," Antenora retorts, "But you do have a point. Ask about a reward."

[Ebiris]

"Feh," Marie makes a disgruntled noise and shoulders her way in past the door. "Anyone looking for revenge and got coin to see it done still alive around here?"

[Anastasia]

The creature steps back to let you. "Yeah, got a few." The answer's gruff, "What few of us are left are all in the the Iceway. Go down straight, it's the only hall that isn't impassable."

[Ebiris]

"Come on then, lets see if we can wring something worthwhile out of this trip," Marie says gruffly, leading Antenora in the direction indicated.

Any lingering aura from destructive magic used here that she can see with greater arcane sight?

[Anastasia]

Faint and fading magic, but yes.

[Ebiris]

If it's faint that means it's a 3rd or lower level spell cast within the last 1d6 rounds, right? There's nothing overwhelming as in 10th level and up which lingers for 1d6 days?

[Anastasia]

Whoops, I used the wrong terminology. That's why I check DM before anything else.

It's overwhelming but fading magic, excuse me.

[Ebiris]

Cool. What spells? Greater arcane sight should auto-identify.

What caster level? DC 40 on epic spellcraft. Take 10 for 67.

[Anastasia]

Caster level is 39th.

The spell is Stonebreak. Does exactly what it sounds like on a large scale. A powerful, specialized spell to destroy stone and stone-like fortifications.

[Ebiris]

She wonders if Zyvlyn is as good with magic as she is blades, or if she has a friend.

Either way, casters of that power don't grow on trees (except in Yggdrasil), that's even stronger than she is!

None of this shows on her draconic features however as she goes to the unblocked hallway.

[Anastasia]

It leads to the Iceway - an open hall now converted into one part bunk, one part supplies and one part armory. Perhaps a dozen figures are here, a motley array of planar types on a glance - almost all with visible Ice blood even from here.

[Ebiris]

It's very possible Zyvlyn left someone behind to keep an eye out for pursuit after leaving such an obvious trail, so Marie gives everyone here a thorough look over.

Blessed sight, like detect evil but no delay on identifying aura strength and location.

[18:37] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+38 CL on blessed sight if needed

"So this is all that's left of Blizzardwatch, is it?" she asks aloud as she makes her visual sweep. "Heard talk about some Sharran bitch. Just one or did she have an army with her?"

[Anastasia]

Three evil auras. Two faint, one overwhelming. The overwhelming one is on a human looking creature of icy skin and flesh, clad in warm, thick robes.

"Just one," That very one speaks up, "All it takes, it seems. Fuck." He rests back, "All it takes is one to kill us all."

[Ebiris]

Of course evil individuals are hardly unexpected within Cryonax's domain, so that's not conclusive. Still, Marie will be careful with her words while trying to figure them out in turn. Antenora should spot any spoken lies at least.

"Seen a dragon tear through an army and topple a fortress or two in my time, numbers aren't always everything," she says, baring sharp teeth. "Don't always come in small packages, but for every wyrm there's a slayer to match that could probably take a fortress too if they tried."

[Anastasia]

You get nothing but unpleasant looks at that baring of your teeth.

Antenora meanwhile goes and sits, merely observing the festivities.

"So what, some demon bitch comes through and everyone dies?" Another challenges, voice tight.
