The three appeared a third of a mile in the sky, with a grand view of the terrain - they were still much closer to Mount Goldflail than Siwa, going west (or rather, had been) from the latter towards the former just alongside the River of Shadows.<br/><br/>Most attention-riveting to Aria, of couse, was the pyramid falling away beneath them. The wind made a great whipping sound as the flat square base fo the pyramid pushed masses of air out from beneath it, dropping like the stone it was towards the sands.<br/><br/>Over the seconds it fell, other figures blipped into being at various places in the blue sky above and to the east of the pyramid: one cluster of six mindflayers appeared near each other, each wriggling its tentacles excitedly and floating down slowly from its point of appearance.<br/><br/>A bit to their north, and a few hundred feet over the river by chance or choice, two mindflayers appeared, each with a pair of chain devils grabbing at its spindly legs, and these six all began floating down slowly as well.<br/><br/>A ninth mindflayer appeared with a hand upon one silver-bearded and white-robed man, both floating directly over the pyramid and staring down at it as they floated down.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Ya, I did recommend FoP and just now discovered the thing. Hopefully it doesn't change your mind about wanting the feat (IMO it shouldn't, still awesome and will only make a bigger diff as her cha increases) but if it does you can swap it (though I don't have any nonepic feat suggestions offhand).<br/><br/>Lesse, pyramid was 800' up, the exterior doors and other chambers' floors were 20' above its base, central chamber was 10', and the max range of DD at her level is 400' + 23*40' = 1320', for a total altitude of 2130' after DDing. Just over a third of a mile.<br/><br/>Anya (121 lbs. before clothing) is a heavy load (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/carryingCapacity.htm) for Kass (str 14, 117-175 lbs and wearing other stuff) but probably less than her max load. (Fly speed 30' instead of 40', max dex bonus to AC of +1, -6 penalty to certain skills similar to armor check penalty.).<br/><br/>Altitude 1000', and 300' east of the pyramid, six minflayers appear in a 50'-a-side hexagon.<br/><br/>Altitude 400', and 500' north of the pyramid, two mindflayers and four kytons appear, tightly clustered.<br/><br/>Altitude 1200' above the pyramid, one mindflayer and one human man.
