You say, "Okay! I think we can probably get started. Thank you all for joining me here this evening."

Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.

Kethrai looks thoughtfully at you.

Betlind looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf!

Anuril grunts at you.

You say, "We've got a number of visions to discuss tonight. Some of them concerning, some of them confusing. So, fairly standard."

You chuckle.

Aerilia chuckles.

Betlind grins, revealing her dimples.

Zersha is giggling at you.

Gwenddolyn chuckles.

Umptiskrunk grins at you.

Kethrai asks you, "Got any fun ones for us today?"

You say, "Let's start with one that just seems suspiciously... mundane."

You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "We need more visions about rainbows."

Betlind takes a sip of her water.

Betlind begins chortling at Zersha.

Kethrai nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.

You say, "With a bump, I looked around and realized I was riding atop a caravan, slowly winding along a canyon. As we approached a sheer cliff face, the team readied ropes and pulleys, and quickly, expertly, connected the caravan to the rock face and began hoisting it upward. After several minutes swaying against the cliff face, the team crested the edge, and the braying mules quickly moved away from the cliff and into the forest. I looked back at the cliff, shrugged, and the vision faded."

Zemfreed says, "Rainbows made of kittens."

Valynn grins at Zersha.

Valfek nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.

Valfek looks thoughtfully at you.

Zersha blinks at you.

Zersha nods at Zemfreed, obviously agreeing with his views.

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

Zersha grins at Hebion, her dimples flashing into view.

Zemfreed takes a sip of his cocktail.

Gwenddolyn asks, "Traders going into a forest?"

Hebion grins at Zersha.

Gwenddolyn says, "That is not mundane."

You say, "I don't think I've ever seen anyone attempt something like that with a caravan, but it still seems rather possible."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Poor mules, they must have been scared."

Illiya ponders.

Aerilia asks, "They rode.. straight up a cliff? Did I understand that correctly?"

Gwenddolyn says, "Wonder where the forest atop a cliff is."

Betlind nods to Aerilia.

Betlind rubs her nose.

Zersha says to Aerilia in a Velakan accent, "That's what I got."

Kethrai says, "Guess it depends how much they value the cargo, versus getting it to its destination."

Aerilia says, "Huh."

Betlind says, "Those are some mules..."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Just hoisted it up like a sack or potatoes."

Malorna closes her wrist purse.

You say, "They used rope and pulleys to lift the caravans to the top of the cliff."

Aerilia nods to Betlind.

Gwenddolyn says, "Yes they used pulleys."

Valfek says, "Interesting for sure."

Betlind grins, revealing her dimples.

Aerilia says, "Ah. Still quite interesting. Less so than what I was picturing."

Aerilia grins.

Gwenddolyn says, "It means we need to find a town on a cliff in a forest somewhere."

Betlind giggles at Aerilia.

You say, "Could be someone discovering a new trade route, though I don't think the animals are going to enjoy that much if it becomes a regular thing."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I wonder if that's what they did before the gondola was installed."

Zersha gnaws on her lip.

Umptiskrunk ponders.

Kethrai says, "I think before the gondola was installed, Ilithi was just off-limits."

Aerilia asks, "Or come by sea?"

Gwenddolyn nods to Kethrai.

Zersha shakes her head at Aerilia.

Gwenddolyn says, "Yes trade was halted for awhile."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Can't because of the waterfalls."

Aerilia ponders.

You say, "Yes, getting to Ilithi from the sea would require sailing through marshes and up waterfalls."

Zersha nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Anuril dryly says, "Hooray for traders, next vision."

Anuril appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Zersha giggles at Anuril.

Kethrai gives Anuril a gentle poke in the ribs.

Betlind begins chortling at Anuril.

Aerilia says, "Aha, I see. I suppose.. through River Clan? Not sure how long they've run that route, though."

Illiya flashes a quick grin at Anuril.

Gwenddolyn says, "On boats."

Elizzibiana asks in an archaic accent, "Oh, theren route maybe?"

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "Forest, cliff between haven and theren."

You say, "But yes, I didn't notice any suspicious cargo, or anything else that stood out about the caravan. Or anything that made me particularly recognize the canyon."

Gwenddolyn says, "There must be a new bustling town atop a cliff somewhere we need to find."

Kethrai says to Elizzibiana, "Forfedhdar was also closed off until after the gondola was installed..."

Gwenddolyn says, "Or perhaps it is shadow clan."

Gwenddolyn says, "That is up a cliff."

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "Well, I've heard grumblings that some traders are looking for a barge less way to theren and haven."

Elizzibiana shrugs.

Majelaket says, "Or this vision will just drive you up one trying to make sense of it."

You say, "So, maybe supplies being brought someplace, maybe the Traders' guild getting up to something with caravans. Might have to wait and see for any more clues on that."

Elizzibiana chuckles.

Zersha grins at Majelaket, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind grins at Majelaket, her dimples flashing into view.

Mistanna chuckles at Majelaket.

You exclaim, "So... on the next strange vision!"

You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.

Zersha nods to you.

You say, "Warm waters lapped at my feet, and I inhaled the scent of the ocean. An endless calm stretched before me, the early dawn sun not yet breaking the horizon, the calm air barely stirring the surf. A gull called, but I could not see it nearby. I turned my back to the ocean and walked toward a dune covered in stubborn grass, and cresting the hill, I overlooked a strange sight -- an inverted tree thrust into the dune, extending grasping roots into the sky, its leaves poking out of the sand. I watched in curiosity for a moment, and the vision faded."

Zersha tilts her head, clearly curious about something.

Anuril ponders.

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

Mistanna tilts her head, clearly curious about something.

Umptiskrunk says, "Ump not get it."

Gwenddolyn says, "Muspari again."

Betlind blinks.

Zersha nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views.

Umptiskrunk furrows his brow.

Zersha shakes her head at Gwenddolyn.

Valynn frowns.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Muspar'i isn't near the sea."

Elizzibiana nods to Zersha.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "One of the islands maybe."

You say, "About the best I have at the moment is some natural process operating in an unexpected manner."

Aerilia says, "An upside down tree sounds like a very strange sight. It's hard to imagine."

Gwenddolyn says, "Then the dunes of despair in Qi."

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "Could be poke beach or hara."

Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "It sounds like something to do with Wild Magic, how things are all topsytervy right now."

Umptiskrunk fixes Zersha with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Umptiskrunk says, "Hrmmm. Might be on to something."

Zersha grins at Umptiskrunk, her dimples flashing into view.

Casari asks, "What, none of you ever leave strange things lying about in unexpected ways just to confuse anyone who comes along?"

Zersha says to Umptiskrunk in a Velakan accent, "I'm not just adorable you know."

Illiya grins at Casari, her dimples flashing into view.

Zersha winks at Umptiskrunk.

Zersha giggles.

Aerilia chuckles.

Mistanna chuckles at Casari.

You say, "The tree still had leaves, so apparently it was either healthy still, or had just been swapped around shortly before I saw it."

Valynn says, "Perhaps it is a metaphor for the natural order of things turning upside down."

Zersha nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Majelaket nods to Valfek.

Malorna says, "What about the merelew in a soon season."

Aerilia nods to Valynn.

You say to Valynn, "A possibility. Though everything else seemed like a quite nice morning."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I'd like to see an upside down tree."

Aerilia ponders.

Valynn asks, "The wild magic has turned things upside down, no?"

Zemfreed gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.

Hebion asks, "Could it be the calm after a turbulant storm?"

Betlind asks Zersha, "Would you hug it upside down too?"

Zersha exclaims to Valynn in a Velakan accent, "That's what I was saying!"

Aerilia asks, "Roots reaching up to the sky does sound like Moon Magery in general, given that's the source of their power, in a way?"

Zersha exclaims to Betlind in a Velakan accent, "Of course!"

Zersha grins at Betlind, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind giggles at Zersha.

Valynn grins at Zersha.

Malorna says, "Or.... the tree was shioved there from turbulance."

Hebion nods to Malorna.

Valynn nods to Malorna.

You say, "But yes, my impression does lean toward some aspect of nature being upturned. Somehow."

Zersha says to Betlind in a Velakan accent, "Even upside down trees deserve hugs. Maybe more hugs because they're confused."

Zersha nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Valynn grins at Zersha.

Umptiskrunk says to Zersha, "How very Rangerly."

Malorna ponders upside down pinapple cake and drools

Zersha nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views.

Betlind says to Zersha, "Or maybe it's a tree in denial. Burying its, erm, head in the sand."

Zersha chortles softly at some secret joke.

Zersha giggles at Betlind.

Illiya asks you, "What kind of tree was it?"

Majelaket says, "A choice to leave the comfortable into the harsh unknown after a radical change of nature."

Hebion says, "The tree was thrust into the dune. It wasn't grown there."

Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Majelaket.

Kethrai says, "Dunes near the sea make me think of Pokekekehekepi Beach."

You say, "I'm not well versed enough to be able to identify a tree by the roots, and most of the leaves were in the sand."

Illiya nods to you.

Elizzibiana chuckles.

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "Which I said, poke or hara."

Kethrai nods to Elizzibiana.

Valynn says, "Acenamacra is also a length of sand near the sea."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I think it's less about a real place and more about how things are all messed up right now."

Betlind nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.

Valynn nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.

Kethrai says, "Dunes would be a strange place to find a tree even upright."

You say, "The next vision might be related to one we discussed at the last meeting, also involving the idea of painting. Though this one doesn't have as strong a sense of another message trying to get through."

You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.

Zersha nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

You say, "I found myself before an easel, holding a palette. I applied four blobs of richly colored oil paints, roughly at the points of a square. I lifted a brush and began to consider the blank canvas before me, when I found myself distracted. Something about fireflies? I put down the palette and stood up, but accidentally knocked over a small jar of spirits, spilling it. As the spirits seeped over the palette, the paint began to run, and I watched, mesmerized, as swirls of color began to blend. The vision faded."

Zersha exclaims in a Velakan accent, "That's me trying to paint!"

Mistanna chuckles at Zersha.

Aerilia ponders.

Illiya grins at Zersha, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind giggles at Zersha.

Illiya asks, "I feel like we've seen fireflies before?"

Valynn chuckles at Zersha.

You say, "There have been a few visions featuring fireflies."

Kethrai nods to Illiya.

Gwenddolyn says, "Fireflies are in Ker Leor."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I don't know why but fireflies make think of Paladins."

You say, "One where a large number of fireflies flared up brightly and then died... Another where a jeweler was setting one into a ring."

Gwenddolyn says, "I have seen then no where else."

Casari says, "Sounds like mana."

You nod to Casari.

Aerilia says, "The blending of colors brings to mind sorcery."

Woten nods in agreement.

Valynn nods to Casari.

Kethrai nods to Aerilia.

Betlind nods to Aerilia.

You say to Casari, "Yes, fireflies aside, that's what I was going to mention next."

Valynn nods to Aerilia.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Blah, sorcery."

You say, "Four colors, and something swirling them together."

Zersha folds her arms across her chest.

Betlind pats Zersha on the back.

Umptiskrunk says, "Is us. We do."

Anuril says, "Painter should be more careful."

Aerilia says, "The vision didn't seem.. unpleasant? Just accidental."

Gwenddolyn says, "Accidental sorcery."

You say, "I don't know how the fireflies fit into it, or what signifcance the square shape might have, though."

Umptiskrunk says to Zersha, "Ump is sorcerer. Maybe marriage not work."

Umptiskrunk frowns at Zersha.

Zersha giggles at Umptiskrunk.

Umptiskrunk glances at an enormous ring pop flaunting a wine-red sugar crystal.

Kethrai brushes one ear with his hand, grooming it absentmindedly.

Zersha says to Umptiskrunk in a Velakan accent, "Good thing it's only a ring pop engagement."

Umptiskrunk says to Zersha, "Ump keep ring."

Zersha looks at Umptiskrunk, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.

Zersha nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views.

Hebion raises an eyebrow.

Zersha says to Umptiskrunk in a Velakan accent, "You did lick it."

Umptiskrunk licks an enormous ring pop flaunting a wine-red sugar crystal.

Kethrai says, "The square shape has some meaning as it relates to mana. The spectrum of mana field theory."

Betlind takes a sip of her water.

Umptiskrunk ponders.

Kethrai says, "It's... very heterodox."

Zersha grins at Hebion, her dimples flashing into view.

Majelaket says, "Hrmm... less accidental and more distraction ruining the order. I'd question who the painter represents."

Zersha leans on Hebion.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I suppose it all depends on if you believe things can happen by accident or if everything is fate."

Zersha furrows her brow.

You say to Kethrai, "Ah, yes. It's a somewhat simplified representation, but it is a way that the mana mortals are able to manipulate has been presented."

Anuril says, "Canvas is ruined, better toss it and start over."

Woten snorts, loudly.

Zersha asks in a Velakan accent, "Is it ruined or is it art?"

Zersha grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view.

Kethrai leans back against Anuril with a loving smile.

Umptiskrunk says to Zersha, "Is not smart bring up fate around bunch of moon mages. Could be here all night."

Zersha giggles at Umptiskrunk.

Illiya grins at Umptiskrunk, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views.

Zersha softly says to Umptiskrunk in a Velakan accent, "As long as there are enough tarts and other treats, I'm all right with that."

Zersha looks at Hebion, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.

You say, "So, that vision could be a bit unpleasant, depending on your feelings about sorcery. The remaining two visions... are probably going to be even more generally considered unpleasant."

You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.

Illiya winces.

Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind frowns.

Mistanna says, "As long as it's not drowning in slug slime again."

Zersha blinks at Mistanna.

Mistanna nods to Zersha.

Kethrai wrinkles his nose.

Umptiskrunk says, "Ick."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Not how I'd want to die."

You say, "We... ah, have been seeing a few visions that seemed to feature an avatar of Truffenyi lately..."

You clear your throat.

Zemfreed takes a sip of his cocktail.

Anuril lets out a resounding "Boo!"

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

Illiya asks, "Unaka?"

You say, "I watched a scene unfold, a giant ox charging a snarling six-eyed monster. The monster caught the ox by the horns and slashed its throat, bathing in a deluge of golden blood. The ox slowly died, bellowing weakly, and the monster wrapped its shadowy body over the ox, slicing and rending. After a moment, the monster rose, lifting the ox's massive horns above, a trophy that snagged the stars and tore the moons from the sky. The monster began to roar, and the vision faded."

Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Anuril.

Betlind pats Anuril on the back.

Zersha blinks at you.

A pained expression crosses Seef's face.

Zersha sadly says in a Velakan accent, "Poor ox."

Anuril makes a grunting noise.

Anuril takes a sip of his wine.

Mistanna furrows her brow.

Betlind says, "Oh my."

Aerilia frowns.

Betlind blinks.

Zemfreed ponders.

Valynn frowns.

Aerilia says, "That is.. quite unpleasant, indeed."

Valynn nods to Aerilia.

You say to Illiya, "It could represent someone who stands for Truffenyi, yes..."

Gwenddolyn shifts her weight.

Kethrai says, "Six-eyed monster... Who could that represent, I wonder."

Zersha asks in a Velakan accent, "What monsters have six eyes?"

Zersha nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Illiya sighs.

You say, "Or three pairs of eyes."

Valynn says, "Three heralds."

Aerilia nods to you.

Zemfreed asks, "Truffenyi tearing the heavens?"

Elizzibiana nods to Valynn.

Betlind nods to Valynn.

Gwenddolyn says, "Yes the heralds."

Anuril says, "Ox could have minded its own business."

Anuril takes a sip of his wine.

Kethrai jabs an elbow into Anuril's ribs. The honeymoon must be over.

Zersha asks Anuril in a Velakan accent, "But what if the ox was just defending itself?"

Anuril grins at Kethrai.

Illiya exclaims, "Or what if the ox was defending us!"

Anuril says to Zersha, "It was clearly the aggressor in that vision."

Elizzibiana rolls her eyes.

Betlind nods to Illiya.

Elizzibiana frowns, shaking her head with an expression of exasperation before resting her face in the palm of her hand.

Aerilia shakes her head.

Zersha says to Anuril in a Velakan accent, "Perhaps, we don't have context for what happened before."

Anuril asks, "Ohhh, context, does that matter now?"

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "It's like one page of a book."

Anuril raises an eyebrow.

Anuril takes a sip of his wine.

Zersha asks Anuril in a Velakan accent, "Yes? Did it not at some point?"

Kethrai guzzles down some of his Expanse and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.

Kethrai takes a sip of his Expanse.

Anuril laughs!

Woten opens his folio.

Aerilia says, "Whether it be Lord Truffenyi or someone related to him, I hope this vision does not come to pass."

Anuril pats Zersha on the back.

Umptiskrunk twiddles his thumbs.

Betlind nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Umptiskrunk takes a bite of the pop.

Valynn ponders.

Woten mutters to himself.

You say, "The roar at the end could be one of triumph... or possibly anger, if the monster didn't mean the tear apart the sky. The former seems a bit more likely, though."

Zersha whispers something to Anuril.

Zersha grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view.

Gwenddolyn says, "Definitely the heralds I would say."

Illiya asks, "Could the six eyes represent something?"

Kethrai says, "Interesting that the vision shows them tearing the stars AND the moons from the sky."

Gwenddolyn says, "3 heralds 2 eyes each."

You say, "We've seen three pairs of eyes in a few visions now, that seemed likely to be the Heralds."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "The most obvious translation to me is the looming battle between the Immortals and the Heralds. Truff-boy-ox being the current standard barrer."

Illiya says to Gwenddolyn, "Oh, that's very true."

Zemfreed asks, "The different aspects of Truffenyi?"

Zemfreed ponders.

Illiya closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance.

Aerilia glances outside a moment.

Illiya says, "Maybe they will somehow assemble themselves into a six-eyed monster."

Gwenddolyn says, "Yes those visions are about them watching."

You say to Kethrai, "Given the scales of the beings we're looking at, I wouldn't rule just about anything out in terms of collateral damage from a conflict."

Aerilia nods to Illiya.

Betlind says, "I do ponder the significance of what would happen if we lost one of the Immortals..."

Aerilia says to Illiya, "Scary to imagine what sort of beast those three would make."

Betlind says, "Other than finding a new name for 'em, of course."

Kethrai says to you, "Well, we've seen them come after the stars, but the moons would be new."

Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gwenddolyn says, "Not good."

Elizzibiana snickers.

Illiya flashes a quick grin at Betlind.

Zemfreed takes a sip of his cocktail.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I wonder what would happen if the moons disapepared too."

Zersha gnaws on her lip.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "Disappeared."

Umptiskrunk frowns.

Zersha clears her throat.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "This brandy is strong."

Woten says, "Moon mages would have to get a real job."

Kethrai says, "Might lend more credence to the idea that the Heralds are associated with the Sun Dragons of the Kather."

Betlind giggles at Zersha.

Mistanna chuckles at Zersha.

Zersha giggles at Woten.

Illiya asks Kethrai, "How so?"

Elizzibiana hums to herself.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I really need to read that book."

Casari says, "As long as the Immortals don't go hatching Yavash to fight back."

Zersha looks at Kethrai and jots down some notes.

Kethrai says to Illiya, "In Kather mythology, the Immortals brought about the moons to diminish the power of their Sun Dragons."

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Valynn quietly says to Casari, "Now, that would be a sight."

Zersha asks in a Velakan accent, "World Dragon Book Two: Revenge of the Moon Dragon?"

Umptiskrunk ponders.

Elizzibiana hums happily to herself.

Zersha softly says to Betlind in a Velakan accent, "I'd read that book..."

Betlind giggles at Zersha.

You say, "And since we mentioned the three pairs of eyes... They appear again in the final vision to discuss tonight. Which is another one that doesn't seem to bode well."

You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.

Zersha raises an eyebrow in your direction.

Betlind says to Zersha, "You could write it as a series of entries in the Berries."

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

Zersha giggles at Betlind.

You exclaim, ""Spotter team, take position!" a voice called, and I approached a giant pit in the ground, large enough to swallow a house, and, checking the stars, oriented myself at the western edge, looking east. "Stay sharp, call them when you see 'em, and no matter what, do not take your eyes off the sky!"

Illiya says, "Oh great."

Betlind leans on Illiya.

You say, "I scanned the horizon, diligently observing the stars and the distant cut of trees. Behind me, something heavy spun to life, and I heard the crushing of boulders and grinding stone. Time passed, the stars turned overhead."

You say, "A pair of lights flickered open and stared down at me, and with a gasp, I stepped back into the pit, falling. I spun to try and catch myself, and saw a yawning mouth of shadow and crystal consuming the depths of the pit, and as I fell, far above me two more pairs of eyes flickered open. The sky began to shatter, and the vision faded."

Aerilia ponders.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I don't even know where to start with that one."

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "That crystal thing out the west gate in the pit."

You say, "That seems plausibly related to whatever it has Liraxes has planned."

Aerilia says, "Interesting."

Aerilia nods to you.

Elizzibiana asks in an archaic accent, "That Liraxes made?"

Betlind ponders.

Elizzibiana nods to you.

Elizzibiana asks in an archaic accent, "Call em as you see them? the drakes maybe?"

You say, "Seems like the Heralds will be taking note of it in that case, whatever the plan is."

Kethrai says, "I wouldn't describe Liraxes' device as a 'yawning mouth of shadow and crystal'... It's more like a building."

Casari says, "For now."

Kethrai says to Casari, "For now."

Betlind grins, revealing her dimples.

Valynn grins wryly.

You say, "Currently. But a yawning mouth of shadow and crystal wouldn't be out of line with some of the original visions seen before Liraxes arrived."

Aerilia asks, "Light and shadow are key themes to the Plane of Probability though, I think?"

Kethrai nods to you.

You nod to Aerilia.

Umptiskrunk says, "Also, crystal thing avoid talking about visions any time people bring up. Very dodgy."

Umptiskrunk nods.

Zemfreed asks, "The device does have a large opening in it that could be presented as a yawning mouth of shadow and crystal?"

Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Umptiskrunk.

You say, "The perspective from that vision does cause me some concern, though. It would seem to indicate some dangers there."

Zersha nods at Betlind, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gwenddolyn asks, "A pitfall?"

Valynn says, "I don't trust that crystal entity."

Betlind leans on Zersha.

Seef says, "It could be from a Herald's perspective - watching the sky for the Immortals, as Liraxes' plan to use sorcery against them succeeds."

Valynn folds her arms across her chest.

Illiya says, "I wonder if it is significant that you were on the western edge looking east."

Aerilia ponders.

Kethrai says to Illiya, "Which would put the pit in front of the viewer, not behind."

Woten ponders.

Zersha gnaws on her lip.

You say, "Standing to the west, facing to the east, and hearing something from behind."

Illiya ponders.

You say, "Though, I think I must have turned around at some point there, to step back into the pit."

Elizzibiana says in an archaic accent, "Probably at the sound of the noise behind you."

You say, "So the sound was perhaps the mouth grinding through stone."

Kethrai says, "Really, the vision sounds like part of a team manning a siege weapon."

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

You say to Kethrai, "It does sound like Liraxes wants assistance with whatever is planned."

Kethrai says, "Yeah I bet."

Anuril smirks.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I really hope its 'machine' doesn't eat everyone who helps."

Zersha furrows her brow.

Illiya says, "The viewer was warned not to take their eyes off the sky, but it sounded like the eventual threat came from behind."

Aerilia says, "Recall that the machine has already restored the Heart. If Liraxes plans to restore even more stores to draw the Herald's attention and empower the Immortals, great."

You say, "The danger from the pit doesn't seem intentional, since in the vision I stumbled in after being shocked by the eyes in the sky... but it would seem to mean it's not exactly safe."

Gwenddolyn says, "It just seems to me that it signifies a pitfall."

You ask, "And that covers all of the visions I have to discuss tonight. Does anyone have anything else they'd like to bring up?"

Kethrai asks Gwenddolyn, "It wasn't a metaphor?"

Betlind says, "Or left by rock guardians the size of the hills and that's what's left from the size of the boulders they toss."

Betlind nods.

Betlind grins, revealing her dimples.

You chuckle.

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I'd like it if less visions were metaphors, it would make it easier."

Valynn gives Zersha a wry grin.

You grin.

Aerilia smiles quickly.

Kethrai says, "They all are until they're not, I think."

Betlind grins at Kethrai, her dimples flashing into view.

Betlind nods emphatically.

Gwenddolyn says, "Well thanks for the visions, these seem to be more worrisome."

Zersha says in a Velakan accent, "I'd like a little note: Mortals, we're attacking at dawn on the fifth day of the sixth month. Bring sorcery. Xs and Os, the Immortals."

Betlind says to you, "Aye, thank you for hosting and sharing your visions with us."

Betlind bows to Mistanna.
