@Goldfish
This spell should overpower the level 4 effect and quickly kill the rats.
Cast it before the battle on one in each group of soliders and we don't have to directly counterspell the banners.
Edit: and the undead allies might mechanically all count as evil, like Garin does, I believe?

The Level 9 megalight spell unfortunatly blinds all evil creatures, meaning a statistical third of our Legion and it's so extremly wide-reaching that we would hit our allies too.

@Crake, maybe specify us prepping the ground for the engagement via Titan Tools?
While I kinda foresee some sort of borrower-type enemy they are about to unleash on us, artillery'ing the shit out of their force to force them to advance on us, means we can cheese a little, making them advamce on premade fortifications.

Let's not bring Naamaru in on this.
Her line's first king kinda drove the Hairy Men out of the future Sarnor and wore the pelt of their king as a trophy.

is there a way for us to imbue someone with that spell/have it spellstolen and then applied faaaaar behind the enemy army?
(Gotta need some excellent wards and nope-the-fuck-out-button in case of Divine interrupt for that, though)
It can reasonably be calculated in a way it only affects them by it's edge, while not reaching too far into our lines to affect the allied Undead/statistically Evil part of the Legioners, probably?

Osryx seems like a good replacement for Queen Naamaru for communing with the spirits in that case. There are few among our forces with his kinship to death who aren't Sarnori.

I would change the last section. Rather than specifying that we will use the strongest spells available, I would leave it open ended so we can determine the best spell for the situation, whether that is Sunbursts from Companions, targeted SotD cubes, etc. We don't want to automatically go to the highest possible response if it's unnecessary or wasteful. Blinding Glory would blind a lot of our own people, after all.
[X] Crake
That's technically better than Celestial Brilliance, but not significantly so. The much shorter duration means it would have to be cast right before the battle and it would require Dany and Malarys to either use high level slots, Mythic power, and/or limited Turnings/Day.

It's not about being better.
Being the higher level Light spell (that explicitly works like Daylight, barring the damage-effect) means it will surpress Damning Darkness while the areas overlap.
Brilliance and Damning Darkness cancel each other, but this is one-sided, so we get our sight and our damage-effect without having to individually dispel our counter the enemy's banners.
So we only need this spell and can afford to use our other magic to it's greatest utility, rather than being bound to deal with the banners or the rats.

...I now want to make a Beetle Bomb with a scroll of this.
Good grief, this is some Advanced Fireworks.
But not the worst idea in actuality, methinks.
Launch it headfirst into any sort of "Impenetrable Cloud of DOOM" and follow up by a volley of regular shots.
Boom.

Good point.
@Crake, could you add this to your plan?
-[] Prior to engaging the enemy Undead, Dany and Malarys will cast Chained Dawnshroud spells on Legion Celestial Brilliance banners, 15 from Dany and 17 from Malarys. The 32 affected banners will be distributed as evenly as possible to potentially counter any remaining Damning Darkness effects which are not Dispelled before our forces clash with the enemy.

Scrolls wouldn't work in that manner, but single-use charms can. We just can't craft them ourselves. We would need to commission them....I now want to make a Beetle Bomb with a scroll of this.

Should specify using explosive shells instead of solid shot for this. Sniping small targets like banners with solid shot is pretty much impossible at over one klick of range. Using Explosive Pack shells though will take out a banner even if it misses by five meters and will deal heavy losses to hostile infantry. Tightly packed infantry is ludicrously vulnerable to such shelling, no matter if they are alive or dead. That also adds some urgency to get them to move, since the only other option to mitigate, not stop, the damage would be to break ranks and thin out. Given the size of the hostile forces, that is pretty much impossible to achieve in any fast or orderly fashion, no matter how well behaved a bunch of mindless undead are, and even if they do it, they now become ludicrously vulnerable to cavalry or heavy infantry instead. The only alternative to that is charging and taking further losses from artillery fire for the entire distance.
Preferably the front line digs in by Titan Tool usage before the whole shebang starts, further reinforcing the defensive advantage while the enemy suffers bombardment in the open field.

Oh, hai Mark.
@Goldfish, our explosive shells are Fire-based, yes?
Is there a way for us to quickly add a Holy element to them?
Can we reasonably expect at least something as little as 1d4 holy damage if we splash the shells with some Holy Water before firing, etc?
Fire is all well and good, but I feel like we cant go wrong with some Holy Fire here.

Explosive Packs, which are the basis for the explosive shells, deal half/half Fire/Bludgeoning.

Our Explosive Pack-based bombs are constructed so that the damage is caused by the shrapnel and concussive force, inflicting higher Piercing and Bludgeoning damage over a larger area rather than less Fire & Bludgeoning damage over a smaller area.
20d6 Piercing and Bludgeoning damage in a 40 foot radius should still do a good job of removing banners, however.
Our Incendiary bombs could do it, too. Less immediate damage, but it's over an even larger area and will continue to burn for several rounds for additional damage.

Did you finally nail down mechanics for those? Last thing I remember, we were still waffling around what the exact damage code and AoE should be.

They've been set for a good while now.
- Alchemist's Fire:Depending on distance from the epicenter, creatures and objects may take additional damage from burning Alchemist's Fire or be ignited and continue to burn, suffering 1d6 Fire damage per round for at least three rounds unless extinguished. A target can use a Full Round Action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking additional damage, which requires a separate DC 15 Reflex saving throw. Clothing, wooden structures (which automatically catch on fire), and other objects which are ignited may continue to burn long after the Alchemist's Fire is depleted.
- Launcher Munition / Bomb #1 (10 pounds / 4.5 kg): 4d6 Fire damage to everything within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 5 (1.5 m) and 30 (9 m) feet of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
- Bomb #2 (20 pounds / 9 kg): 6d6 Fire damage to everything within 10 feet (3 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 10 (3 m) and 40 feet (12 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
- Bomb #3 (40 pounds / 18 kg): 8d6 Fire damage to everything within 15 feet (4.5 m) of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 15 (4.5 m) and 50 feet (15.25 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
- Bomb #4 (80 pounds / 36 kg): 10d6 Fire damage to everything within 20 feet of the target space and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire. Everything within the area between 20 (6 m) and 60 feet (18.25 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire.
- Liquid Ice:
- Launcher Munition / Bomb #1 (10 pounds / 4.5 kg): 2d6 Cold damage to everything within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the target space and the target itself is Entangled for one round unless it succeeds on a DC 20 Fortitude save.

- Bomb #4 (80 pounds / 36 kg): 8d6 Cold damage to everything within 20 (6 m) feet of the target space and every creature within that space must make a DC 20 Fortitude save or become Entangled for three rounds. Everything within the area between 20 (6 m) and 35 feet (10.5 m) of the target space must make a DC 20 Fortitude saving throw or take half the Cold damage and become Entangled for two rounds.
- Explosive:
- Launcher Munition / Bomb #1 (10 pounds / 4.5 kg):8d6 Piercing & Bludgeoning damage in a 15 foot blast radius (DC 20 Reflex save for half damage), 2d6 Piercing damage (DC 15 Reflex save for half damage) in an area between 15 (4.5 m) and 30 feet (9 m) from the blast.

If ignited, targets suffer 1d6 Fire damage per round for at least three rounds unless extinguished. A target can use a Full Round Action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking additional damage, which requires a separate DC 15 Reflex saving throw. Clothing, wooden structures (which automatically catch on fire), and other objects which are ignited may continue to burn long after the Alchemist's Fire is depleted.

It has some limitations, but we can make plans to use it in future encounters without handicapping ourselves. Not for this month, but we can start to commission single-use charms which can be delivered at range. Those will be great against the Others, Deep Ones, Efreeti, etc.
