The Black Empress manages to get up and with a flash in her eyes and a wave of her hand, she sends Tora into an cosmic location no mortal could possibly survive.
DC100 to avoid Gravitational Crush: You are teleported to the center of a black hole where in a time to short to even calculate, you are crushed into a particle so small not even quantum mechanics could see you. The only way you could survive this is by rolling a nat20 on this save.
Should you pass, both of you win the game and become Heralds of Umbra, willing or unwilling, and you save your world. Should Tora die, Aetheris is destroyed and Dia becomes the new Herald.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Tora vanishes, Dia flicks a finger, and the weretiger's soul is drawn into her little iron cage. She then regards the Black Empress cooly, tilting her head, her silver earrings swinging. "Yes," she agrees softly. "Let's." With another flick of her hand, dark energy slams into the Black Empress.
DC 49 Wis ST from the Black Empress or 59,000 damage, half on success. Should that kill her (which it will, I'm pretty damn sure), she rises as a zombie at the end of Dia's next turn, permanently under Dia's command.
The Black Empress didn't even have time to be surprised. She crashed to the ground, defeated. Her body, melting away from the dark energy, reverted to that of her original form, an innocent, wild eyed curious drow with long white hair. With a look of shock and anguish, all she muttered was, "Svana..."and she died.
Umbra's tentacles seemed to writhe in delight, as a thousand eyes watched over what you would do next. With Jezzika already decomposing, you had one idea. An ancient voice in your head gave you your next instructions, and you were transformed into something more powerful that anything you could comprehend or believe. All of the truths of this reality and beyond were yours to command...
..as long as you served. And you did.
The only question now was, what to do next? You weren't sure.
Dia watched the Black Empress fall. "I don't forgive grudges," she said softly.
The succubus felt the power flow through her and inhaled softly, smiling as it coursed through her bones, her blood, her very being. Jaoth was gone, Olivia was gone, all her old ties were gone, dead with Aetheris. All but one. She smiled and looked at Tora's soul, fluttering in the little cage. "Just you and me, now. Well...and Umbra..." She gazed up at the eldritch being surrounding her. All of the worlds lay at her feet, ready for her to do what she would with them.
And as for serving? She could serve. Being one of the most powerful beings in the universe wasn't too bad. She was hardly idiotic or arrogant enough to throw all that away in a bid to become the most powerful.

Tora takes a sharp inhale and prepares herself to save her life, summoning her inner Ki to save her.

Dusting herself off, The Black Empress sighs, pleased with herself.
"Well." she says to Dia like nothing happened. "Shall we begin?"
