  • [X] While pretending to give a substantive answer, Viserys casts a Silent and Stilled Maximized Mythic Time Stop spell which also affects Tyene.
    -[X] He and Tyene will use their Rings of Spell-Battle, along with whatever other means necessary (Amazing Initiative + full Belt of Battle activation, or Celerity) to successfully use the Time Stop without enemy intervention.
    -[X] During the Time Stop effect, and while still casting Silent and Stilled spells (using the Still Spell Metamagic feat where needed in conjunction with Arcane Spellsurge), he quickly explains the plan to Tyene.
    --[X] Viserys casts Miracle to duplicate a Wall of Mithral, then Arcane Spellsurge. He uses the Mithral to block the exits to the room and places the remainder to inhibit the movement of the Nine without breaking line of sight or effect with them.
    ---[X] He then uses Ancestral Awakening to learn Transdimensional Spell as a Swift Action, then uses a Stilled Blood Wish to cast Battlemagic Perception.
    ----[X] He then casts True Casting as a Swift Action, then uses Wild Arcana to place a 22nd (32nd to overcome SR) level Transdimensional Dimensional Lock spell which encompasses most of the chamber except for the small portion we are standing in. This will go into effect as soon as the Time Stop ends.
    ----[X] He again casts True Casting as a Swift Action, then uses Wild Arcana to cast a Maximized 22nd (32nd to overcome SR, 132 damage per round, DC 32 Will save to avoid being Dazed) level Maw of Chaos spell situated to effect most of the chamber and as many of the Nine as possible without overlapping with us. This will also go into effect as soon as the Time Stop ends.
    -----[X] He then Blood Wishes a Stilled Wall of Force between us and the rest of the chamber, heals his Charisma damage with his Orb of Mental Renewal, and gets in position with Tyene to Greater Teleport them, along with Richard and Liomond out of the chamber and 2000 feet high into the air above this location as soon as the Time Stop ends. If Liomond is unwilling to accompany us, he should be protected from the worst of the damage to come.
    --[X] Tyene activates her Bead of Karma, casts Greater Angelic Aspect on herself, then spends the next three rounds casting and placing Fire Seeds spells so that she has 24 enhanced Holly Berries (1d8+20 Fire damage in a 5ft radius), placed to overlap with as many of the Nine as possible (excluding Liomond), ready to detonate on her command.
    -[X] Once the Time Stop ends, Viserys will Teleport everyone out of the chamber as a Swift Action while Tyene activates her Fire Seeds, and the Maw of Chaos and Transdimensional Dimensional Lock spells go into effect. He will use the Counterspell from Battlemagic Perception as a Free Action to Counterspell enemy spellcasting, if necessary, and Tyene will have readied an action to do so using Greater Dispel Magic, along with their Rings of Spell-Battle, if they remain unexpended to block attempts to prevent our departure.

    • Battle of Stolen Moments ​

    Fourteenth Day of the Twelfth Month 293 AC

    Liomond Lashare had in his own rather colorful manner called Spotted Tom a sycophant, and aside from his choice of allies, which may well have been a condition of even being abroad and free in the world of the living again, you have no reason to doubt the judgement of the old sellsword captain. Were Tom at least beholden to a master you are interested in recruiting you might be inclined to play along, but the once Tyrant of Tyrosh could not have made himself less attractive in that regard if he had been trying to do so willfully. Seven of eight gathered in one chamber is not a bad accounting.

    For a few moments more you keep up the pretense: "Excellent, the first thing we will have to do in order to raid Gogossos is to find where the lord is most likely to be found alone and vulnerable..." Just like you are...

    Time flexes under your will more readily than it has ever done, the ivory rod straining and twisting in your hand almost seeming alive as it empowers the magic. Were this anything but a god's gift you suspect it might have shattered trying to empower this spell, for you are not alone outside the dominion of time but pull Tyene alongside you, quickly explaining the plan even as you continue to work. Speaking first a spell to block all ordinary ways out of the room with walls of true silver, then another to shackle all of them in place against translocation while Tyene sows seeds of blazing flame throughout the chamber.

    The last spell you lay as time begins to lurch forward is nothing so inoffensive as walls or arcane shackles, but a vortex spun from the memory of Limbo, filled with teeth, screams and nameless terrors.

    Spotted Tom is ironically the first to die in a conflagration of madness and flame beyond what even his undead form could endure. Silvertongue, on which you had actually centered the greater of the spells, tries to fling a curse in your direction which swiftly snuffed out, though you take note that that even stillborn it had felt strange, more real somehow than it aught to be. He will not last more than a few moments and the walls are hemming him in...

    Tyene's hand flickers outwards, picking apart a spell Maelys had somehow sought to throw at you even as the enormous warrior charges you fearlessly. "Traitor...!" he shouts, or begins to at Liomond before you speak the words of translocation to carry you up into the heavens.

    The three of you do not vanish alone.

    Looking down upon the town and the roaring chaos you had unleashed in the heart of the Risen Nine's power you wonder if any of them will be able to escape alive. You had trapped the Old Mother in your spell, of that you are certain, but would Maelys' strength or Alequo's magic find a way to break out before they are consumed?

    "So," says the unliving warrior you had pulled from the battle below, his tone more wry than shocked or saddened. "Viserys Targaryen, I presume?"

    What do you do?

    [] Wait and see if anyone emerges from the hall of the Risen Nine

    [] Try to find the last of the Risen Nine while you still can, after the show of power Liomond might be inclined to share his whereabouts

    [] Return to Gogossos and come back with your full forces to handle this

    [] Write in

    OOC: Normally I would try to push this through, but it's really late for me to roll so many more dice.

    • I'm hoping Maelys actually survives this because I want to find out what he is. Given that spell and heavy armor I'm betting on high level Eldritch Scion magus. Silvertongue, as a lich, definitely survives this and will need to be hunted down.

    Did we get confirmation that he's a Lich? I know that's what we were assuming, but I'm not sure if that's what he actually is.

    It would be kind of weird if he was returned as a Lich. That's a very specific form of Undeath which needs a lot of prep work, an expensive Phylactery to be crafted, and a minimum of spellcasting ability (5th level spells, IIRC). If Silvertongue is a Lich, he would need to first have been Resurrected as a Human, then gone on to undergo the transformation. Hardly impossible, but it appears that all of the other Nine were simply returned in their current Undead forms.

    @DragonParadox, I meant this one. IIRC she was casting Fire Seeds, not Dimensional Lock.

    I'm just basing my response on DP's OoC comment that we 'walked into a meeting with a paranoid lich'
    Edit: And it looks like I remembered right but have been confirmed wrong by knowledge religion. Still holding out for an interesting Maelys.

    So, to note, Spotted Tom 'died', but as a Fext, if you do not kill them a certain way, they will be back on their feet in no time.

    So ironically if anyone went down and was likely to come back, it was ironically the weakest one there.
     
    [X] Wait and see if anyone emerges from the hall of the Nine in the next few minutes.
    -[X] "At your service, Liomond Lashare." Speak with Liomond about the plots and plans of the Nine, their assets and the resources at their disposal, and who among their forces might be redeemable. In return, offer to restore him to the fullness of life via True Resurrection, and if he is willing to serve a worthy king rather than a mad goddess, a place in the Imperium as a vassal.

    I know. Isn't it beautiful? Loot that won't get destroyed just because you nuke it a bit.

    Need to check on that then soon as we can.

    On another note what does it take to revive an undead being?

    I think we should actually get down and ensure they don't borrow and wait out the dimensional block, or something.

    We nuked, fucked off to escape retribution....
    And now let's double down on nuking.

    Revive them as in restore a destroyed Undead back to a functional Undead, or restore them to life?

    Revive Undead will restore a destroyed Undead to functionality, while Resurrection or True Resurrection can restore them to life, but only after the Undead has been destroyed.
