It takes him a few seconds to realize it, and by then, he's already gone, but<em>had</em>he dodged the balefire, he would've ended up almost perfectly in position for that same assassin, who started this whole mess, to kill him.<br/><br/>It takes several minutes, but the constructs manage to clear enough of a perimeter around themselves that the area is almost, technically, secure, as they begin forcing their way across the battlefield towards their objective, discovering the truly nasty defenses she's laid for them, from EMP land mines, to simple and crude, hundred foot wide collapsing pits, with spikes at the bottom sharp enough to pierce even a construct's thick armor.<br/><br/>All the while, the forces of the planes begin to muster, under Draiss' banner; armies of mortals from all across the planes, pouring in trhough hundreds of portals, while gods, Draiss' many allies, and those who believe in the true threat of the Beyonders, all begin assembling, marshaling whatever forces they can bring to bear. Truly, one of the greatest armies, this cycle has ever seen.
