Re: Monster Battle #429 - Solitude vs. Mega Nova

For the first time in a while, the hooded sorcerer once again confidently steps into the familiar arena through an ovular disk of shimmering silver/white light, in the background of which can be seen the exterior of the Garrulus Pub and Winery, a translucent armor-like field already visible about his person and a pair of large dark, metallic wings sprouting from his shoulders. In his hand is his long gnarled duskwood staff.
The disk vanishes a moment after he steps through it.

He makes his customary nods to the crowds, wherever they may be, and then calmly sets to completing a series of incantations, weaving a web of invisible wards about his person and drawing forth a rod from his sash.

Re: Monster Battle #429 - Solitude vs. Mega Nova

Flying several feet off the ground, the massive metallic wings at his back flapping continuously, Solitude appears within sight of his undying opponent and immediately completes an complex incantation. Whereupon a man sized disembodied hand of pure arcane force suddenly appears directly beside the once living mage and proceeded to snap her up in a tight grip!

Re: Monster Battle #429 - Solitude vs. Mega Nova

When Nova reappears in the arena, the hooded sorcerer is clearly now blinking in and out of the material plane. Between this and somehow managing to successfully dodge the massive explosions the undead mage flings his way thanks to his personal defences, it would appear he is unscathed by the powerful attack.
In turn however, even as the massive orbs of divine flames wash over him, Nova is suddenly covered in a concentrated explosion of divine and elemental acid, as if in retribution for her assault. Without a word from the conjurer, the massive hand soundlessly glides up behind her to snap her up in a tight grip once again, even as Solitude flies a bit closer and completes a familiar incantation, motioning with the rod in his hand, and Nova feels countless invisible teeth tug and tear at her own wards, threatening to strip her of them.

Re: Monster Battle #429 - Solitude vs. Mega Nova

Bah, darn evasion.

She doesn't have any effects from magic items, just basic items like +Wisdom.

Greater Dispel Magic gets sucked into a spellblade keyed to that particular spell, and is redirected as a free action on her at your grasping hand.

I'll complete the turn when I know what happens to the hand.

Re: Monster Battle #429 - Solitude vs. Mega Nova

As his wards absorb the worst of the enflaming spell's effects, Solitude easily manages to avoid catching on fire and quickly takes a step out of reach of the undead mage before unleashing a pair of fist sized orbs of pure arcane force at his opponent's chest.
