Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shayuri" data-source="post: 6083359" data-attributes="member: 4936">Mei Ying takes a breath and holds a hand up, gathering her will. Arcane power surges within the force dome, and coalesces around her so strongly that it feels tangible, as if the air were thickening to a gel. She spoke a word of power; an instruction to the cosmos in its own language, a modulation not just of air, but of the essence of reality.The word was: Stop.And it did.Immediately the light faded to a dim red monochrome, and all movement...even the bits of dust and blood in the air...was frozen. Only Mei Ying herself stood apart, able to move.With a step, she flashed out of the dome into the battlefield of statues around her. Even in this state, she didn't dawdle, as even the strongest of mages could only stop time for a brief moment before reality reasserted itself.There on the field of battle, she uttered a call. Her voice resonated through air and stone and the planes themselves, naming a creature to come to her aid; one of the sons of Ogremoch itself. It would take time to arrive, of course, but she was confident the others could keep Wade busy until then.Mei-Ying briefly considered calling something else as well...but decided against it. This was all meant as mostly a distraction, after all. Another spell took her through the dome of force again, back safe inside it. Unfortunately she couldn't help anyone but herself in this state. Any spell she cast on someone else was taking place, for them, within the span of a tiny fraction of a second...far too quickly to be noticible..Instead she cast a few defensive spells...bolstering herself for the moment when the dome came down, and the fight was joined.Light flooded back in again abruptly as the timestream threw off her manipulations. To most eyes present, nothing at all had happened. Mei-Ying seemed to flicker within the dome, changing position slightly from one instant to the next, but no other obvious changes took place.Yet.[sblock=Stuff]Mei Ying casts Time Stop, and rolls 5 rounds on the timer.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3908686/" target="_blank">http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3908686/</a>Round 1: Dimension Hop out of the dome. Round 2: Cast Summon Monster IX for an Elder Earth Elemental to appear near Wade, flanking with a PC if possible.Round 3: Cast Dimension Hop into the dome.Round 4: Cast Greater Heroism on self; gain +4 to attacks, saves, and checks, 17 tempHP and immunity to fear.Round 5: Cast Displacement on self; gain 50% miss chance (countered by True Seeing).The summon will take place at the beginning of Mei's turn next round.[/sblock]</blockquote>
