I'm a bit worried here, if anything between here and the elevator holds us up, even just for a round or two, we have a bunch of dangerous foes, including at least one serious mage right behind us.[X] Use Ancestral Awakening to get the Energy Substitution: Cold feat, then use Cold Fireballs to blast your way to the elevator. Fly up the shaft.
That's why I would very much like to try to escape here and now.I'm a bit worried here, if anything between here and the elevator holds us up, even just for a round or two, we have a bunch of dangerous foes, including at least one serious mage right behind us.
@DragonParadox we obviously didn't have enough time to teleport out like the plan stated, but we couldn't plant bomb either yeah?
My plan at least has us moving, because if the AMF idea fails (and AMF is hardly a quiet spell, metaphysically) we wasted at least one round and the mage is right behind us.I'm a bit worried here, if anything between here and the elevator holds us up, even just for a round or two, we have a bunch of dangerous foes, including at least one serious mage right behind us.
Activating the crystals and trying to Miracle an AMF only takes a Standard Action on everyone's part. They can still move during the round, and they do so at double normal speed. If the attempt fails, it's hardly like we'll have been standing there waiting for the pursuers to catch up with us.My plan at least has us moving, because if the AMF idea fails (and AMF is hardly a quiet spell, metaphysically) we wasted at least one round and the mage is right behind us.
Update mentions soldiers in the vicinity, so some fighting is in order to clear the way out, which nobody can do when they all spend their Standard on activating AMF effects.Activating the crystals and trying to Miracle an AMF only takes a Standard Action on everyone's part.

I love this name
Did Viserys realize this kinda sounds like an innuendo?
If we can cast the AMF, nothing is stopping us from using Invoke Magic and Anywhere But Here to simply escape completely.@DragonParadox could we use the Psionic AMF/invoke magic trick to cast Mirror Hideaway and then plane shift away as normal by virtue of not technically being on the same plane as the wards, or would they stop that?
edit: that particular spell also explicitly blocks spell effects that don't cross planes from reaching into it, so that might have an effect here as well supposing this sort of pocket space isn't vulnerable to dispelling despite the AMF.
Yes, but anywhere but here could plane shift us into something highly unpleasant even if we're only intending to be there a moment. I'd rather not end up teleporting directly into noodle's proverbial soup bowl or something if we can avoid it.If we can cast the AMF, nothing is stopping us from using Invoke Magic and Anywhere But Here to simply escape completely.
Not that it looks like we're going to even try that now, considering the way folks are voting to keep fighting even though we got what we came for and have scraped through by the skin of our teeth so far.
The vote isn't to "keep fighting", but to make a break for it in a way that is not extremely likely to end with a full round worth of spellcasting going splat against the wards.Not that it looks like we're going to even try that now, considering the way folks are voting to keep fighting even though we got what we came for and have scraped through by the skin of our teeth so far.
One day, I want this fort for the Imperium. I was super impressed with the robustness of these defenses.@BronzeTongue, do you really think that a 4th level spell could disrupt wards designed to keep the infinite hordes of the Abyss from Wishing your fortress out of existence?
Not by main strength no, but possibly in the same way that every other low level spell does. If it's effect is small enough relative to the total area that has to be monitored and it isn't actively smacking the operators in the face I could see it slipping beneath their notice for a round or two.@BronzeTongue, do you really think that a 4th level spell could disrupt wards designed to keep the infinite hordes of the Abyss from Wishing your fortress out of existence?
