Presto walks in the center of the other, his nerves causing him to unconsciously hide behind his friends. He gulps when he hears the strange wails caused by Warm Blood's disappearances and he tries his best not to think about what they are. Or how many other creatures AREN'T screaming in the shadows.
He nods listening to Hank. It had been a long couple days and he's glad to let Hank take the lead. Presto has power in spades and intelligence enough to analyze situations, but making decisions always made him nervous. He questioned his choices every single time.
"A big spell? Yeah...yeah, I think I can do that. I hope you're ready, this might get a little...messy."
He closes his eyes and chants under his breath as the subtle runes and symbols on his Hat begin to glow with an orange light. Presto raises his hands to the heavens and the skies go dark. The party, and doubtless the creatures and people in the fortress ahead of them, can feel the ground vibrate with slowly increasing intensity. Those who care to look skyward see 4 pinpricks of red-orange light that grow quickly larger before they take shape. Huge fiery boulders leaving black, choking smoke in their wake become visible before slamming into the ground with an ear-splitting roar. Dirt, stones, and any variety of unidentifiable detritus scatter in every direction, stinging the skin and forcing everyone to look away. The heat alone forces Presto to dive for the ground as soon as his spell is complete. Nothing can be seen for a few moments due to the explosive light, heat, and an enormous dust cloud the shape of a mushroom.
OOC:
Presto casts
Meteor Swarm. 0/1 9th level spells remaining. I hope I don't regret using my big gun immediately :D
4 meteors come down. Presto does his best to cover the map. Each meteor covers an 80-ft diameter circle. Everyone in a circle must make a DC 21 Dexterity save. The damage can only be done once, so no affect for creatures in overlapping circles. Creatures making the save take half damage, failed save is full damage.
OOC:
140 damage to each creature that fails, 70 damage to creatures that pass the save.
EDIT: Oh, and everything that is flammable is on fire, I guess? Presto did say it would be messy. I hope you weren't trying to be subtle... ;)
