    Evening, Thursday March 25, 2077; Chasm, the Metaplanes Somewhere

    Sian nods at the slowly lengthening bridge and the three mages at the end of it. “I have to confess that this is a bit disconcerting to me. I can think of a couple of ways for me to assist, but, of course, I am not certain of any of them. First, I could take my vapor form and go out amid the mages to surprise them as the two of you charge them. Second, I could put a very strong Acid Aura up and try to dissolve the bridge at this end, causing the entire thing to fall into the abyss. There is also a chance that I could use Levitate and break up the ritual, but they may have a large pool of counterspelling available. Ideas?”

    “Like he way yer thinkin’ there, Elvira.”

    Al’s stomach was turning at the shifting of the hopeless souls embodied under his feet. He was pretty sure he’d never seen anything more horrible than this bridge made of the tortured forms of men, women, and children. He prayed it was all some sort of metaphor…He forced himself to assume it was.

    At least the whispers were gone now, like they knew there was no longer any point to deception with their true nature revealed so starkly.

    “Cut the damn bridge.”

    Sian nods at the others and steps forward to where the bridge connects to the edge of the chasm. Given her suspicions as to the power being used to create the bridge, she decides to risk a force even greater than what she had used against Al, though this time she did not feel the need to cast recklessly and she could do a bit of prep to assist her. She first performs a Cleansing, followed by a Centering. Her mind had been clouded with concern for Al earlier and she had not had the time for the Centering.

    Sian grabs the mana flowing about her and twists it to her will. She feels the power growing within her and casts an Acid Aura at F15. The drain of the spell is more than she can remember in her recent past, but then she really does not normally call on this much power. She shudders as her body fails to completely resist the drain but the spell is cast and the acid begins to do its job.

    [Friday April 9, 2077; Chasm, the Metaplanes somewhere]

    Sian’s spell rippled out and slammed in to the base of the bridge with devastating force…except instead of plunging it in to the abyss it seemed to distort reality, tearing at the fabric of the metaplane and leaving some sort of portal to somewhere…hellish red light spilt through the portal but unlike this place they were in it felt real

    “Go!” shouted Lethe/Burnout “We are going to destroy the bridge, this is what we were created for, the portal is not stable and will not remain open for long…”

    Never mind the apparent impossibility of physically travelling through the metaplanes to reach a new destination as it didn’t look like Yellowstone on the far side…that was for the scholars to worry about, shit clearly needed fixing!
