They would surprise me.

This thing has no legend men would know, no name men could speak or remember. Or any beings of the regular multiverse for that matter.
It is from outside reality and there is no weight to its history, nothing that could make it Mythic in the usual sense.

Though equivalent options for greater power are of course sensible to assume.

I take it you designed this challenge?

Even better, we've got Lya ready to don the Cloak of Order we looted from Anu-Simung.

Does that work here and now, or will we end up on current Old Wyk with nothing accomplished once she dons the cloak?
Or will the divine power fail in fighting the magic that brought us here and then something explodes?

Edit: Or will it stop the current frozen moment, letting the Ironborn around us wake up and mess with the battle?

Viserys: "Aha! I expected that! Lya, do the thing!"
Lya: *starts putting on the cloak* "Omae wa Mou, shindei-"
*pop*
The Chronomancer: "...All time-manipulation. Like her being here."
Viserys: :confused:

Edit: blast it, Chronomancied.

The Aboleth, yes.
Everything surrounding the situation, the influences and the time-fuckery around us not.

I certainly did not envision fighting him in a frozen moment surrounded by people we can't afford to kill or un-freeze right now.

Also I had nothing to do with the fractal eel creature with Psionic powers that is propably somewhere nearby still?
Let's not loose sight of that thing, it's propably pissed we stole its pet-Shoggoths.

I direct you to Mythic Time Stop. ... do we have Time Stop spellbaned?

By the way, yes we do.

All he(?) has to do is move out of our Spellbane range to do shit safely, or counter it with his(?) own Spellbane, though.

It just saves us from an immediate shanking by such methods as multiple Desintegration Spheres placed right next to us in less-than-a-round.

Did we not spellbane against spellbane?
 
@DragonParadox, how far away is the Chronomancer and how exactly are the bystanders frozen? Do they appear to have been paralyzed or are they Time Stopped?
 
egoo said:
We did.
If it has better CL than we do, which is not out of realm of possibility, ours is destroyed.
We can do the same to anyone else's Spallbane who's scrubbier than us, though.

Not quite. It could have a higher caster level than Viserys' 22nd level (since we use Wild Arcana to cast it), but we also have Eldritch Breach, which lets us roll any caster level check twice and take the better result. Higher caster level isn't necessarily enough to win a caster level check, as their is the element of randomness introduced by the d20 roll.

@DragonParadox, did he detonate the Drowned Man that helped us or is he the Drowned Man that helped us, thinking we were helping him until we unceremoniously rammed a few daggers into his kidneys?
 
Too bad we're in the weird timestate.

Richard can't even safely use his (Gith-made) Psionic Crystal of lite-Timestop to OmaeWaMouShindeiru the Chronomancer by re-appearing from one place to his back without any teleports in no time at all.

That would've been cathartic agaisnt this specific enemy :V

Teleports are also likely to have trouble if the guy isn't an idiot and has a forbiddance-like effect around his squidy squishy caster-y self...

That's probably a big part of why he put us in this timestate, honestly.
The other part of the reason is simply that he wants to finish the ritual after dealing with us.
 
@DragonParadox, is it all right to assume that, in addition to all of the other buff spells the group would have used, Aife would have cast a Spell Immunity spell on Qyburn prior to the group coming to the oathtaking ceremony to render him Immune to the Invoke the Cerulean Sign spell? As an Aberration, it's a serious weakness for him and Aife has keeps multiple versions of the spell prepared for dealing with Aberrations. With combat expected at this event, she would have wanted to protect him from the effect, IMO.

I think you're going too far with background "retroactively assumed to having been cast"-spells lately, fishie.

We ought to write up a bunch of basic spell-lists for lots of situations and addendum them to plans that require those cast.

But this handwaving is mite too freely giving us advantages we didn't think of including on a previous vote.


Also, Viaerys forgetting to do stuff is fine, he's only human Dragon mortal.

Maximum range is 30 ft., so Qyburn could just see about not standing too close.

I don't think I've done that at all, there are just a lot of spells we use and it's a PITA to refer to them all the time when using them has become standard operating procedure.

Spell Immunity for a single party member is not SOP, however, so that's why I asked. If @DragonParadox isn't cool with that, I don't mind. Will just have to plan accordingly.

But a Widened version would be a 60ft radius. ;)

I see...

Viserys: "Iron binds Iron."
Aboleth: "Yes. Good oath. This one is definitely a keeper."
Viserys: "Iron breaks Iron."
Aboleth:
 
now the question is did he pull all his allies with him into this space or not.

also yeah don't do anything that dispells time couse that's very risky since we are in stopped time in the past
 
@Goldfish, for Qyburn, assuming we can get that Greater Blink neutralized before his turn comes, I'd suggest:
Move - Change Channel Vigor to mind so that he gets a total of +14 to hit with Ranged Touch spells.
Swift - Assay Spell Resistance
Standard - Weave the Sources
-- Thanatopic Enervate, Maximized using a gem (4 Negative Levels, +14 to hit, no save)
-- Decerebrate, with Magical Manifesting +2 (causes braindeath, Fort DC 29 to negate)

If the Enervate hits, the Omnipath takes -6 to his save against Decerebrate (-4 from level loss and -2 from Weave the Sources).
By default, an Omnipath has +18 Fort, so with the Enervation hitting he needs to make a DC 29 check with only a +12. Potentially twice if someone uses Alter Fortune to force a re-roll.

I'm not really expecting this to work since that thing definitely has a bunch of tricks up his tentacles, but this way, it has to blow at least one of them to evade this killshot.
