Lanius scores another hit, and Jessica speed-crawls north. Teopixki's spiritual weapon chases her.

The priest backs towards the door. "The light of the sun overcomes all." He blasts them with an explosion of light that cuts through the fog.

As with most Epic spellcasters, he has the Boon of High Magic, giving him a second 9th level slot. He used the first one for Gate pre-battle, and hasn't used the second one.
9th level Sunburst. It hits 2/3 of the temple.
Brilliant sunlight flashes in a 60-foot radius centered on a point you choose within range. Each creature in that light must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 12d6 radiant damage and is blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t blinded by this spell. Undead and oozes have disadvantage on this saving throw.

A creature blinded by this spell makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded.

It took some doing, but among the streets of the warehouse district of the Titanopolis, you've found Felix the Fat. Known to be short, wide, jolly, and immensely persuasive, no fewer than five different kingdoms have issued bounties for his death. Yet somehow, he always finds allies and escapes.

He's 200' away, and you're in a 30' wide street. Tall warehouse stretch on both sides, sized for giants.
You can see three mirror images moving around him, all slightly blurry from some other effect.

Merry teleports Jessica and himself near the halfling bard. He can see the bard tapping some sort of quick rhythm on a drum at his waist. The halfling looks...majestic. Almost god-like. Why would someone even fight him? Felix is wearing armor, but draped over it is a robe. The eyes on the robe blink, some of them swiveling to look at the two - or at least, he thinks so. It's all a bit blurry, and there are four halflings there anyway.

Hyra dashes forward. Her Celestial raises its bow, but can't shoot.

"Come on folks, let's have a good time. None of that summoning angels and healing and whatnot."

Merry has come a long ways. His animated shield floats before him, and his eyes glow faintly with a sight that sees all as it truly is. He still holds his Grimoire Arcana, a massive tome of magical knowledge and power, and in his right hand a dagger that twitches with eagerness for battle. His arcane ward surrounds him in a hazy transparent-purple egg of force.

He knows speed is of the essence here. Hit fast, hit hard. He moves to the cover of the closer column and quickly fires off one spell, then another. The first causes a searing flash of light right among the foes; then two massive meteors land at the closest visible points near the enemies, exploding in fire and rock shards. Two small mushroom-clouds of smoke rises above the area but disperse quickly.

Merry continues his travel vertically, climbing seemingly impossibly up the side of the stone column.

Move: Move to WX18-19, 30ft up.
Action: Ready action: Cast Blade Barrier (Ring). This covers WAB immediately, contains Q-AB in width, 2-13 in height.
At the start of WAB's turns, they take 6d10 slashing damage or half as much on a successful dex save. Crossing through the blades incurs the same save. The blades otherwise provide 3/4 cover.
Action Trigger:- Merry's spells finish casting, so before the wizard's turn starts.

Lanius saw the wizard - protected by illusions. With a smile, he closed his eyes to get rid of the distractions, and let fly a barrage of arrows. When the sound indicated that the arrows didn't penetrate, he switched to the invisible artificer, before vanishing among the pillars

Merry moves forwards and casts two spells quickly - stunning his counterpart and attempting to dispel their protective magic. "APPLESAUCE!" The enemy wizard is probably going to be pondering Merry's point in yelling that word, for a while. "Control Z!" Merry adds, waving his book ominously in the wizard's direction. Then Merry runs back to the corner of the closer pillar.

Spoiler: OOC - Dispel 5th level, Power Word Stun

Show

Merry moves to U26, casts, moves back to Q29. Power Word Stun has no immediate save but if the Wizard has more than 150hp it has no effect. The Wizard can make a DC 23 Wis save at the end of what would have been their turn. Otherwise it lasts until they do make a save.

Dispel Magic auto-removes 5th-level spells or lower and Merry has a +12 modifier for anything higher.
