[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 3406832, member: 9026"] The area around the portal is allready a Maelstrom, Solars, Archons, Balors, Pit Fiends, Slaad, Rakshassa, Humanoids, a small clan of Vampires - Everybody wants a piece of the Prime, but since they can't get through themselves, they've decided to take it out on the others trying to get in. The first you encounter is a Balor who steps in front of Jool, laughing "You're going nowhere, Precious" It spits, swiping at her. She Parries easily and replies in kind, slicing the thing to pieces with several mighty blows. As her 4th attack pierces its heart, it howls in pain and explodes, taking out some of the other injured beings around you. Jool is caught full force by the blast but walks right through it without slowing, beheading another Balor that charges up, and joins its companion in death throes. The rest of you decide to stay slightly clear of her path of detonation. Meanwhile, the rest of you, with various degrees of intensity, decide to drive towards the portal. Salarassa is the first to reach the portal, weaving easily through the air to dive into it. As he does so, the portal flashes, a bright light flying out and illuminating the plane. A few vampires explode, and several Good aligned outsiders dissapear.. Each of you remaining feel the Red light wash over you, strengthening and bolstering you as your Marks start glowing slightly. Ijazim waves his hands and a group of Archons explode into flames, the hounds dropping immediately, the Trumpet archons requiring a second storm. Panarchus and Xis’talamarisk follow easily behind, each picking off anything that gets in their way with waves of magical energy. At one point, a Solar stands before them. "HALT, vile beings, I cannot let you pass through this gate and bring your evil to another land!" With a roll of the eyes, the two obliterate him and then step through. It takes a total of about 20 seconds to all get through the portal, destroying anything that gets in your way, and every time one of you goes through, the rest feel a wave of bolstering strength. As you pass through the portal, everything goes dark for what seems like a few minutes, and then you find yourselves standing in a mountain range, standing in a large, bowl-shaped depression that seems to be several hundred feet across. Surrounding the bowl is a large, flat area that all seems to have been carved from a single stone. The skies are filled with black lightning and howling, hurricane force winds, though Salarassa, who's been there for almost half a minute when the others arrive, has noted that the storm only just started, the instant he appearred. OOC: I've decided to speed things up I will be rolling a few things for you, SPot checks, Iitiative, Saves, that's about it. Also, for scenes like this, which are mostly cinematic (You guys wading through a horde of lessers, I'm just winging it, keeping in mind your characters and any posted strategies.. I just don't want to start off with a huge war. BTW, we're still waiting on Avalon to show up.. I'll have him just follow till he says otherwise. Also, that wave of bolstering strength means that when you get to the other side, any spells you've cast/wounds you've taken are treated as though you'ld had a full days rest upon going through the portal.
