Getting the band together

[Corwin]

I see it failed to bring all the arguments.

5+58+16+25-20=84

[Anastasia]

The figure surprisingly does not resist meaningfully - and you feel it as you tear and burn it apart. A grasping tendril, something seeking your goldenfire. It gets wisps of it before you focus your will, snapping your magic away from the thievery. Before you the figure is torn apart bloodlessly, a creature of bloodless flesh and metal within.

[Corwin]

What was he doing? How is that even possible? Was anything actually lost or it's fluff? Was it a deity? Also, can I tell via my War domain whether a battle is still coming to the Cauldron?

[Anastasia]

Looks like he was trying to steal some of the goldenfire you produced: Not your actual goldenfire powers to be clear here, but more the fire you produced and used to attack him. It's not a power steal attempt or anything per se, but trying to grab what you emitted instead. Sort of like if someone captures a bit of sunshine in a bottle - it's neat, but you haven't taken anything meaningful from Lathander.

Did you use the War domain to sense in the first place?

[Corwin]

Can my control over goldenfire prevent or contest that? Also, no, but I want to use my War domain affinity now, if possible.

[Anastasia]

You could, sure.

You can sense that the threat of battle looms over the Cauldron as does the raging fires of war, but the immediate threat seems passed.

[Corwin]

Then I am, this is a matter of pride.

Putting on a smile for the defenders, Seira raises her arm in triumph!

Elle, please thank our friends. We're lowering our readiness status.

[Anastasia]

Cheers erupt at your seemingly impossible victory, a tidal wave of them crashing against the Silver Sea. As they echo all about you?

'What was going on?' Elle asks back, 'What in Mystra's name happened?'

[Corwin]

Beats me. Some metal-flesh golem with command over illusions? And the cheeky bastard tried to steal my fire, at that!

Since I contested that, has it automatically happened or do I need to do anything further?

[Anastasia]

That and you, y'know, destroyed the golem.

'Stranger and stranger. Was it the efreet or an opportunist?'

[Corwin]

I would be happy if you looked into it. In fact, have our golem specialist take a look at the remains.

Seira sends the remains into one of Lagann's isolated labs for analysis, returning home afterwards.

[Anastasia]

The cheers are deafening as you return, your name being chanted.

"Seira! Seira! Seira!"

Amaryl is there, bowing as you return, "Welcome back, my champion," she says with a teasing smile, "I see you were victorious again."

[Corwin]

"I really wanted to fight an army," Seira tells her with a pout.

[Anastasia]

"One day," Amaryl agrees with a bright smile. "One day."

[Corwin]

"Yep. Not like I'm upset that we're not facing a full invasion now."

I plan to wait for Oraga's'arrival or something happening!
