As far as Kass could tell, the spherical shockwave was like that of burst spells such as the infamous<em>Fireball</em>or even moreso her own<em>Cacophonic Burst</em>- and even Kass herself could cast that latter spell with more sonic force than the effect they'd just been subject to, but the sheer range of the event they'd just witnessed and felt was an unprecedented thing indeed; a greater number of miles than such spells were in feet.<br/><br/>Aria looked up the slope when alerted to Kass of the avalanche. Her hazel eyes widened, but guesstimated how long the self-amplifying cascade of rocks would take to reach them. She glanced with an inward pang at the battered camels, and drew her wand even as she took flight to hover just over them. The tiefling healed each camel with two wand-bursts apiece and swatted their rears with the wand itself, to startle them out of unconscious and into fleeing, while she shouted, "Go! Go!"<br/><br/>They seemed frightened, probably from both the recent pain and the presently growling rumbling, regaining their footing to flee but too dumb to realize they ought take sideways directions rather than run up into the avalanche or downward but inevitably too slow to outrun it. Aria let herself land atop the camel which she'd healed first, and began to steer it, grateful for the herd mentality which then 'convinced' the other to follow it.<br/><br/>They fled laterally, in the direction Kass had gone, eventually reaching the same up-jutting outcrop which seemed as safe a place from the avalanche as any. A few score seconds later, the rocks were rushing downhill behind them, like a stream. Once safely positioned, Aria healed the camels, and then Kass and herself.<br/><br/>After a few minutes of deafening noise, the activity finally subsided, but the slope was slightly changed in shape from what it'd been. The mountain had a subtly but perceptibly different shape. All across its west-facing slopes, several inches of even the solid rock surfaces had been ground away by the shockwave, like millenia of wind erosion all in moments, and of course the loose rocks and boulders had mostly been tossed far down the slopes in the avalanche and others like it elsewhere around the mountain. Given the slow rate of erosion and plate-growth in such a dry sparse climate, the changes wrought by the shockwave would likely remain for eons.<br/><br/>"I don't think I'm very good at keeping camels alive," Aria tried to lighten the mood, and then looked up at the mountain, holding the compass. "Well, it at least is pointing where it was before, although it'll be slightly slower going with the trail half-buried and loose stones here and there."<br/><br/>Near the mountain's peak, and in fact almost directly in the line where the compass pointed, Kass would notice a distant figure - and yet not as small as she should have been at this distance, and perhaps the only reason she was visible at all.<br/><br/>The figure, female but muscular, wore a white cloth skirt even simpler of cut and design than the Sharran priestesses, matched by a top which was simply a white cloth band running around her shoulderblades and armpits to gird her bosom. She wore a few random bangles upon skin that was a bluish metallic gold color, and many beads in bluish-black hair. Most distinctly, perhaps, apart from her overlarge dimensions, were that the woman sported a pair of reptilian or draconic blue wings, which she held high above her shoulders, seemingly to shield her east-facing view from the sun.<br/><br/>She surveyed the landscape to the east, perhaps taking stock of the devastating event a minute before, seeming stoic and physically injured, curious and in awe but far from any emotional panic.<br/><br/><br/><br/>4 rounds of healing the camels (2x11 hp each), leads up in same direction as Kass (at 70' / round; 3 rounds to get clear), then heals each camel once more (for 3x11 total, just up to full) and herself and Kass (3 charges each; back to self being 1 below full and Kass 2 below). Aria's used 26/50 wand charges.<br/>
