Cheers to that as Bastian says, "Better than any place Shar can get to."

Dolmaya considers that, "Shar." She says that name like a curse, "A foul and bitter thing. Trash."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shrugs. "She is what she is, sadly. I think the God's might have less freedom in their decisions than mortals, sometimes. But yes. Shar. We're going to have to find a way to fight her. From all if my investigations, she's decided it's a her or us fight. So, here we are, building up towards that fight."

[Anastasia]

A pause to eat as everyone listens, "What did you do to gain her ire, Alyssa? It sounds as if she is motivated."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa colors a bit, "I believe I found something she covets. One of the promotion requirements in the Order is to challenge a labyrinth. I managed to actually find the center. First one ever. I found an... Echo of Lord Is and was granted power by it. I believe she was hunting for it and, well... She holds grudges it seems."

[Anastasia]

I presume you mean Io instead of Is.

"That would be remarkably valuable," Dolmaya says, and then with a smile as she regards you, "Whatever was the power you were given?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Yes, autocorrect.

"It expanded my arcane power above the ninth circle. It was an explosion of growth and it terrified me. I was worried I'd burn myself up every time I tried to cast a spell."

[Anastasia]

A pause at that, "Exceptionally remarkable," she says at last, "I see why that echo of power was desired." She's eyeing you again, studying you.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa grins, "Don't get any ideas yourself. I'm hoping it can give me enough of an edge to fight Shar, but I'm still going to need godly allies. Interested? Bored of retirement yet?"

[Anastasia]

I need to know OOC here: Is this someone you're eyeing for your node, potentially?

[Iron Dragoon]

Maybe, I don't know her abilities and I think I only have one slot open, so I need to consider what I still need. It's a potential choice though, if it's open.

[Anastasia]

Okay.

"I would hate to be takign care of all of your work," Dolmaya finally says, "Show me. Show me your most powerful, impressive spell. Let me see how far you've come."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa considers for a moment and begins casting a spell with a little she's been saving...

Skill Trick: False Theurgy (Thunderous Voice)

Space Compression, CL 32, Duration: 32 rounds.
Target a point behind Alihana, connecting to above Alyssa.

Alyssa uses her telekinesis to reach through the compression point to pull her sister through it, only for her to come floating from above Alyssa and Dolmaya, to rest on the cushions next to her, and wraps her up in a hug, resting against the cushions and looking at Dolmaya with a grin.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so mechanically walk me through what you're doing here.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, Space Compression. I'm putting one end of the portal behind Alihana and the other in the air above me. Then I reach through the Space Compression with my TK to pull her through the portal behind her. She comes out above me and I float her down to lay next to me.

[Anastasia]

While you make it look like you're casting Thunderous Voice with false theurgy?
