[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7836286, member: 79141"] [B]Session 241, Part Two Round 2 [/B] The attempt was all-but impossible; to return from the Gyre in any way, shape or form could not be done. Uriel tackled the challenge with every ounce of his strength, every scintilla of his substantial intellect, but he could not find a way, at least for now. Meanwhile, the fight before the ziggurat raged on: Quratulain threw another grenade at her own feet, and this time blew the construct squad to smithereens. She fired another towards Korrigan, exluding him from harm and damaging the constructs that had mobbed him. Then she took a pot-shot at the occultist she had injured earlier. Insubstantiality could not save him from her blaster beam and he fell. Uru responded to the arrival of the slow-moving Malice by calling upon the [I]genius loci[/I]. The spirits of the Antwalk Thicket rose up in his defence and began to attack all of his foes. Uru caused the very earth itself to rise up and surround Justin Rollins, ending his suppressive fire and the incessant pounding of his shotgun. Leon focused on the ghost council and realised that they could be harmed by the usual means, but while using force or magical weaponry would also harm the host, psychic attacks could ‘kill’ the ghosts themselves. He tried a quick [I]mire the mind[/I] on both Xavier and Pardo, but the ghost council prevented such magic from affecting them. Mind control and charms were no use. Another trait imbued by the ghosts was suddenly revealed when Pardo took flight, literally spirited through the air, honing in on Gupta, who was still stumbling down the steps of the ziggurat. Korrigan came up with an idea to allow the unit to regroup: He ordered them all to use Fourmyle Jaunt at once. They followed his orders, and one by one were diverted to the top of the ziggurat! Rumdoom teleported himself out of the jaws of the Screaming Malice, took a breath and shrugged off the malign influence of its piercing shriek. Justin Rollins flew out of the trap Uru had placed him in and flew in pursuit of more targets, as did Xavier Sangrea. Gupta whispered a fey incantation and struck Pardo with lightning courtesy of the Father of Thunder. (Quratulain felt a pleasant stirring in a her belly at this.) Then Gupta invoked the magic in her little book on William Miller (ensorcelled in the Navras Opera House) to wink out of sight. Rumdoom fired his shotgun at Pardo. The Malice shrieked again, denied fresh victims, and began to lumber towards them. In the distance, deep in the forest, it was answered by a vast, lupine howl. The Ash Wolf! [B][/B] Again, Uriel tried to translate himself into this time and place. Even with Gupta’s aid, he could not do so. The effort was very taxing. How much use would he be if and when he arrived? At the very least he could tell them to keep fighting, to oppose the Ob at every step, in the knowledge that their other selves were still scouring the Gyre, and that he would find a way to get the golden icons to them.
