[Gaethrend's Court, Barroom]
Plush red carpet surrounds a glistening pinewood bar where thirsty travellers stop for a taste of Gaethrend's finest brew. A seemingly endless array of bottles are lined up in front of a classic long bar mirror. You note a few of the bottles contain actively swirling elixirs, twisting about in their containers as if alive. You also see a frosty observer manifested as a sequence of ceaselessly falling raindrops, a shifting green banner overgrown with verdant rose vines and an elegant menu.
Also here: a calmed Lady of the Watch Dantia, a calmed Healer Aerilia, a calmed Strawberry Nurse Illiya, a calmed Kaith Partani Souv, a calmed Dzive Asini Leayne, a calmed Fearless Crobin, a calmed Doctor of Kittens Sukidesu who is surrounded by six playful cats bounding around, a calmed Lord of Pain Kitosaki, a calmed Legendary Cleric Mazilyn, a calmed Valta Varna Mistanna, a calmed Thinker Couri, a calmed Sothios who is shrouded in shifting shadows, a calmed Soul Surgeon Zynell who is emanating a bright holy aura, a calmed Emily, a calmed Aeldrik, a calmed Mipsy, a calmed Xips, a calmed Sylni, a calmed Citizen Miraeven who is emanating a bright holy aura, a calmed Lord of Elamiri Gridaksma, a calmed Defier of the Heralds Saragos who is surrounded by a pale electrical sphere, a calmed Wharf Wolf Rekletuzrit and a calmed Lady Knight Elurora whose figure is gracefully highlighted in a soft aurora of silvery-violet light.

Kerennya gazes silently at Unaka.
Mazilyn beams at Unaka!
Unaka says, "Okay, so, don't get your hopes too high, first of all."
Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.
(Crobin eyes look about the room focusing on a few people giving a nod before scanning the area more)
Zalinyar leans back against Vaddon with a loving smile.
Mazilyn exclaims, "To late!"
Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.
Zalinyar nods to Mazilyn.
Crobin says, "Not sure my hopes could get any higher."
Kitosaki says to Imroth, "Sword, axe... big hammer."
Leayne puts her sherry in her rose colored haversack.
Zalinyar says, "You said insightful."
Unaka says, "I got a question to meditate on, and Avrenka also sent me a letter with some more questions. Let me read them."
Zalinyar nods.
Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Unaka gets a gold-edged ivory parchment from inside her thick satchel.
Ryeka takes a sip of her brandy.
Imroth nods to Kitosaki.
Sukidesu nods to Unaka.
Sukidesu takes a sip of his mead.
Unaka smooths out her parchment.
Casari folds her arms across her chest.
Gragnel says, "Of course he did."
Elurora leans against a glistening pinewood bar.
Elurora gazes at Unaka.
Crobin smiles at Gragnel.
Sukidesu tosses his glass from hand to hand.
Kitosaki says, "Reading is hard."
Kitosaki grins stupidly.
Gragnel says, "He's an inquisitive type."
Crobin says, "Wish Ic ould read."
Illiya pats Crobin on the back.
Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.
Allye grins at Crobin.
Leayne enfolds Crobin in a warm embrace.
Imroth pats Crobin on the back.
Sukidesu runs his fingers along his cat pin and mutters to himself.
Gragnel says to Crobin, "All you need to know is "L" and "T" buddy."
Unaka exclaims to Kitosaki, "Didn't used to need it, but then I guess Truffenyi thought it would be useful. And turns out it is!"
Gragnel smirks at Crobin.
Dantia smiles at Traim.
Tirost chuckles at Gragnel.
Eyst ponders.
Unaka asks, "Avrenka wrote, Unaka, I ardently request that you meditate and pray for the Immortals' wisdom upon these things -- whether Asildu's Heraldic influence may be countered by sorcery, Immortal divine intervention, or perhaps even brute force via the axe. Or whether perhaps we are better off in search of said Heraldic artifacts -- perhaps the Immortals or Liraxes may be able to sense such Heraldic influence?"
Crobin looks at Gragnel and sighs.
Sukidesu rubs a sleek grey panther pin with cat-slitted emerald eyes.
Kitosaki grins at Unaka.
Sukidesu taps a sleek grey panther pin with cat-slitted emerald eyes he is wearing causing it to stir. Its reaction could only be viewed as angry.
Ryeka nods.
Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.
Kitosaki drops a portion of Mudrock brew.
Kitosaki draws forth a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade.
Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Kitosaki gives a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade a hug!
High Priestess Maraisel just arrived.
Unaka says, "The really short, summed up answer, is that I meditated really hard on those questions, and I don't have any answers for you. I'm sorry."
Sukidesu points at a polished cambrinth cloak pin inlaid with a snowy alabaster unicorn he has.
Zalinyar ponders.
Kitosaki leans on his greataxe.
Sukidesu points his panther pin at a glass, which he is holding in his open hand. Enticed by the scrumptious morsel the panther pin reacts. Without hesitation the panther pin gobbles it down!
Eyst gives a slight nod.
Aerilia smiles at Unaka.
Imroth frowns.
Tirost nods to Unaka.
Elurora grins at Unaka.
Unaka says, "I did want to try to explain why, if you want to know."
Couri nods to Unaka.
Leayne frowns at Unaka.
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Mazilyn nods to Unaka.
Allye nods to Unaka.
Crobin nods to Unaka.

Ryeka nods to Unaka.
Illiya nods to Unaka.
Zalinyar nods to Unaka.
Unaka nods to Zalinyar.
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I really want to see the fate the puddle is going to receive!"
Illiya gazes at a Prydaen villager.
Kitosaki exclaims, "Guzzle the puddle!"
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "What a great idea!"
Unaka says, "So, I've been thinking about what all my meditating is about, what it's doing, because I wanted to try to explain it to you."
Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.
Saragos nods to Unaka.
Maraisel gazes upward.
Kerennya raises an eyebrow.
Leayne gets a glass of Starry Road sherry from inside her rose colored haversack.
Ezerak gets a sumptuous sapphire bath towel with bright yellow ducks embroidered across the hem from inside his rucksack.
Angel smiles.

Tirost puts his talisman in his watersilk bag.
Maraisel squeezes a damp bath towel, wringing out the last few drops of water.

Maraisel says to Tirost, "Thank you."
Maraisel chuckles.
Tirost smiles at Maraisel.
Zalinyar rolls her eyes.
Kitosaki sheathes his Dwarven greataxe.
Ryeka ponders.
Unaka says, "The thing is, Truffenyi has visited me with visions a couple of times, and it's like a whole waterfall trying to pour into an acorn. But, the good news is that I think all the visions really did go somewhere inside me, and I've been trying to, uh, sort of search through them for the answers to what you all have been asking. There's a lot that Truffenyi shared with me, so I've been lucky to find a lot of answers."
Tirost softly says to Maraisel, "Anytime, though it seems I was late."
Maraisel grins at Tirost.
Sukidesu gazes at his fingernails.
Mazilyn nods in agreement.
Ryeka nods to Unaka.
Angel smiles at Unaka.
Unaka says, "But this time I think that what Avrenka wanted to know is not in the pool of knowledge that I have. At least, I wasn't able to find it. Maybe it's not something Truffenyi knows, or maybe he just didn't share it with me already."
Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.
Angel gives a slight nod.
Allye nods to Unaka.
Illiya ponders.
Unaka's shoulders slump slightly.
Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.
Unaka puts her parchment in her thick satchel.
Ryeka ponders.
Angel gazes thoughtfully at Unaka.
Saragos nods to Unaka.
Leayne takes a sip of her sherry.
Illiya says to Unaka, "Thank you for trying."
Souv just left.
Couri nods to Unaka.
Valynn takes a sip of her reserve.
Ruea leans on Maraisel.
Unaka says, "So yeah, I'm sorry I don't have any answers or even a direction for you. But I do have faith in you all, and I think you can come up with something, if this is where your minds and hearts are set."
Maraisel grins at Ruea.
Leayne ponders.
Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Angel smiles at Unaka.
Zalinyar frowns.
Unaka nods to Saragos.
Mazilyn asks, "There was a simpler question about if they wanted or could help him at all... did that come up with nothin too?"
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "It's ok, I have answers! Step 1: Cast more sorcery. Step 2: Guzzle the puddle. Step 3: Profit!"
(Tirost's eyes pass from Unaka to Saragos.)
Ryeka says, "It seems to me- that maybe..."
Unaka nods to Mazilyn.
Tirost takes a sip of his reserve.
Ryeka ponders.
Kitosaki chuckles.
Unaka says to Mazilyn, "Nothing, sorry."
Mazilyn nods to Unaka.
Saragos says, "Truffenyi has already communicated a lot with us."
Imroth says, "I can't believe you all want to forgive and save Asildu now."
Crobin ponders.
Ryeka dimples at Saragos.
Mazilyn exclaims, "Thats ok im ready to try anyways!"
Mazilyn beams at Unaka!
Casari says to Imroth, "The first choice was to trade you for him, but I don't think they're bargaining."
Aerilia asks Unaka, "Does that go for the second venture into the null prison as well? No information to be uncovered right now?"
Zalinyar says, "Step four, silence the villager."
Casari sighs.
Couri beams at Mazilyn!
Eyst tugs at the tip of his mustache distractedly.
Zalinyar shrugs.
Gragnel exclaims, "The Immortals have said, "Sorcery is the way!"
Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.
Leayne giggles at Zalinyar.
Imroth says to Casari, "I believe it."
Ezerak chuckles at Casari.
Mazilyn raises her hand.
Defense Coordinator Lexxa just arrived.
Traim chuckles to himself.
Unaka says to Aerilia, "Uh, actually I have different news on the Null Prison but I thought I'd save it for after, since this is about Asildu."
Saragos says, "So, let's do our part. Meraud, and the other Immortals, give us tools so that we can help to solve the problems ourselves."
Crobin just hugged Lexxa.
Zalinyar grins at Leayne, her dimples flashing into view.
Leayne just hugged Lexxa.
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Ryeka says, "If we could channel The Immortals to Asildu- and the Vigil Spell would do that- I think."
Imroth says to Casari, "You would feed me to dogs in a moment, but the guy responsisble for massive damage is now worth saving."
Ryeka shrugs.
Zalinyar looks at Vaddon and sighs.
Mazilyn says, "Everyone is worth saving and Truffenyi's mercy knows very little in the way of limits."
Mazilyn nods.
Casari says to Imroth, "We'd be here for weeks if we tried to explain events to our densest quarter."
Aerilia smiles at Mazilyn.
Unaka gazes fondly at Mazilyn.
Ryeka smiles at Mazilyn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Gragnel asks, "Is it not Truffenyi himself who teaches us of mercy and forgiveness?"
Couri beams at Mazilyn!
Saragos says, "So, Asildu was trying to hide from the Heralds by going near the Standing Stones. He hoped that they wouldn't be able to see him there. That proved not to be true, though he didn't make it directly in front of the stones, their influence extends throughout the Zaulfung. And I think I know why. We have reason to believe that the Heralds live here, on the Plane of Abiding."
Imroth says to Casari, "I'm sure explaining yourself is too much."
Elurora slowly says, "Maybe if we can get him into a room with that Bard spell that makes it harder to find people, it might give us a few moments to work..."
Tirost gazes at Saragos.
Mazilyn giggles at Couri.
Ryeka ponders.
Allye raises an eyebrow in Saragos's direction.
Couri nods to Mazilyn.
Eyst says to Imroth, "I can agree that it's questionable as to whether the fellow is deserving of the effort, but the effort alone may be its own reward. Cleansing heraldric corruption, removing a pawn from their grasp, seems a worthy endeavor to investigate."
Allye asks Saragos, "What makes you think so?"
Kitosaki scratches his head.
Tirost nods to Eyst.
Crobin nods to Leayne.
Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.
Imroth asks Eyst, "Save the evil guy for science?"
Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.
Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.
Ryeka exclaims, "And save him so The Heralds can't use him anymore!"
Imroth scoffs.
Aerilia takes a sip of her mead.
Kitosaki tries to eat some cook's worn and tattered armor covered in drool stains.
Elurora slowly asks, "Didn't Asildu say aomething about them coming here after their home was destroyed?"
Eyst says to Imroth, "Indeed. If you don't see a soul deserving of saving, then perhaps a specimen that can be learned from."
Illiya gets a clear glass charm etched with a floral motif from inside her encompassing shadows.
Illiya puts her whiskey in her encompassing shadows.
Leayne grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.
Kitosaki ponders.
Kitosaki buffs his scalp, making it shine.
Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.
Unaka smiles at Kitosaki.
Saragos says to Allye, "That's a good question. I didn't come with full notes on that regard, but I believe some things Asildu has said over time have led to imply that. But I'm not prepared with solid evidence on that score unless I spend some time digging through notes about all the madness that's happened to us."
Gragnel rummages through a plain unimportant-looking bag, pausing once in a while and then quickly resuming the search.
Gragnel frowns.
Allye nods to Saragos.
Gragnel gets a fluted glass of Silverspruce wine from inside his leather longcoat.
Gragnel beams!
Kitosaki says, "Bah nough talk. Point me at what needs smash."
Illiya gets an iced cocktail glass of Black Widow bacon whiskey from inside her encompassing shadows.
Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.
Kerennya gets a tall glass of silver wine from inside her mariner's rucksack.
Imroth says to Eyst, "That at least makes a bit of sense. I am sick of hypocricy about this whole subject."
Zynell grins at Gragnel.
Kitosaki strikes a heroic pose.
Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.
Kitosaki grins stupidly.
Saragos says, "What I will say is that, In my opinion, the best way to hide him would be 1) to take him somewhere off of our plane, and 2) ask the Immortals for assistance in hiding him. There are two easy ways off this plane, the Planar Observatory, and Zengmodaleth. And Zengmodaleth is way easier to get to."
The Prydaen villager says, "Friends don't let friends save puddles."
Crobin chuckles.
Crobin says, "The Z-spot."
Saragos asks, "Does anyone else have any ideas on how we might hide Asildu from the Heralds' sight so that we could buy some time to try things?"
Ezerak says to Saragos, "Easier to stay in for a length of time, too."
Crobin nods to Tirost.
Saragos nods to Ezerak.
Kitosaki grins.
Leayne grabs Crobin by the shoulders and shakes him!
Illiya asks, "I think Couri has some ideas from Avrenka?"
Crobin smiles at Leayne.
Elurora says to Saragos, "That one Bard spell, I forget it's name. But it can block people from finding other people. It might help, it might not."
Couri nods.
Sukidesu ponders.
Tirost says to Crobin, "Zengmodaleth."
Couri exclaims, "I do!"
Ryeka says, "What about the temple? Easy place to get lost."
Aerilia shakes her head at Saragos.
Tirost says, "That's risky."
Illiya smiles at Couri, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Crobin says, "Thats what I said."
Crobin nods to Tirost.
Zalinyar giggles at Crobin.
Karthor asks, "Turn their gaze somewhere else, perhaps. Wasn't Liraxes workin' on somethin' to that effect?"
Saragos says to Elurora, "Sanctuary. Can't hurt."
Tirost grins at Crobin.
Saragos nods to Elurora.
Leayne sighs.
Elurora nods to Saragos.
Imroth says, "Drag him to the temple and sacrifice him to Huldah."
(Couri slips out of the crowd and beams brightly at the gathering.)
Saragos says to Couri, "Go ahead."
Saragos nods to Couri.
Couri exclaims, "I probably the last person ye would expect up here but I been talkin ta Avrenka about these verae issues and agreed ta bring his ideas ta ye in complete support!"
Couri says, "I goin ta try ta say it like he did word fer word."
Gridaksma glances at Imroth.
(Couri crosses her arms and taps her finger against her chin with a very serious expression.)
Sukidesu rubs his head.
Couri smiles before catching herself and then surprisingly in a very refined accent she says "He said, 'Couri, I've come up with two ideas on severing Asildu's connection ta the Heralds for ye ta share.'
Leayne smiles at Couri, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Mazilyn gasps at Couri!
Unaka fixes Couri with a heavy, ponderous stare.
Allye asks, "Are there any Holy spells we could cloak him in, since that's the realm of mana they can't utilize? Protection from Evil?"
Elurora gazes at Couri.
Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.
Couri says, "My first idea be a brute force method, employing the same tactics used to liberate the Clans from the Heraldic vine encasement. In that case, we used sorcery for a few weeks to weaken the vines, until the Immortals were finally able to cut thru with their golden beam (assisted by our prayers and concentration)."
Leayne takes a sip of her sherry.
Couri exclaims, "Then he say, 'He may not want sorcery used on him, but given the circumstances ... he may relent' and I agree with him!"
Crobin nods to Allye.
Zalinyar leans back against Vaddon with a loving smile.
Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.
Allye nods to Couri.
Couri says, "He thought fer a bit, fer that what Avrenka do and he said, 'Also, I'm not sure he would survive such an intervention. After all, the vine encasement was entirely blown away. But! None of the inhabitants in any of the Clans were harmed in any way. So it may be viable'."
Saragos says to Allye, "Again, can't hurt. I'll write it down."
Allye nods to Saragos.
Ryeka asks, "Bless him, maybe?"
The Prydaen villager asks, "What if... he's still a puddle?"
Zynell says to Allye, "Bless, soul shield, couple of things."
Tirost says to Saragos, "Taking him to Zengmodaleth seems risky to me, at least without hearing from the Lord of the Void. There is a huge source of power there, and the Heralds are looking for power."
Couri says, "And then he say 'My second idea is to search for Heraldic artifacts -- and dispose of them. Asildu mentioned that his study of certain Heraldic artifacts formed a connection thru "some residual energy or something in it" as he said'."
Traim gets a night-black Tokka deck pressed with a border of moonsilver links forming a chain from inside his tokka case.
Ryeka nods to Zynell.
Crobin asks, "What about casting holy sorcery at him?"
Vaddon appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Allye nods to Zynell.
Couri smiles and says confidentially, 'I tole him about the artifacts....
Crobin says, "Like if you look into Protection from Evil."
Eyst ponders.
Couri says, "Anyhow, then he say "This makes sense to me, as I recall there once was a Demon Robe that allowed Maelshyve to possess people who came into contact with it."
Crobin asks, "Why not have it cast at him via sorcery?"
Crobin says, "Two things they seem to not like."
Miraeven quietly says, "We could...hide...him in the Void. The immortals could intervene to restore him...."
Kitosaki makes a disgusting grunting noise.
Couri says, "And then he were real quiet and I wondered if'n hae fallen asleep."
Allye quietly says, "Please excuse me."
Picnic Basketcase Allye goes southwest.
Couri says, "And finally ended up with "The main problem would be locating these objects. Perhaps the Immortals or Liraxes would be able to assist us, here.'."
Couri exclaims, "So that be his message, and I be in full support of his ideas, fer he a lot smarter than me be!"
(Couri sinks into a graceful curtsy and beams brightly again at the group, back to her normal self.)
Madigan says, "I would pick anywhere except Zengmodaleth."
Elurora grins at Couri.
Unaka nods to Couri.
Leayne nods.
Ezerak says to Tirost, "A valid concern."
Saragos says to Couri, "Interesting ideas. Let me set those aside for a moment, and circle back to them when it comes to talking about how to break the connection."
Couri beams at Saragos!
Crobin nods to Saragos.
Kitosaki says, "I've found the solution to most problems can be solved by a big stick... or giant maul and application of lots of smash, bash, swing... stomp on stuff. A comicly large greataxe doesn't hurt as well."
Kitosaki grins stupidly.
Madigan smiles at Kitosaki.
Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.
Lexxa asks, "What if he were to cast sorcery himself to break the connection?"
Dantia chuckles.
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I like this guy, he makes puddles!"
Lexxa says, "They don't like that."
Great Lenko just arrived.
Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.
Leayne grins, revealing her dimples.
Kitosaki drools.
Lexxa ponders.
Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.
Traim quietly says, "Our barbarian friend largely has it right I expect. Sorcery is just...a big stick."
Traim smiles slightly.
Unaka draws forth a notched splitting maul with an ox horn attached to the head.
Kitosaki says, "Wait..."
Kitosaki blinks.
Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.
Unaka shows Kitosaki her splitting maul.
Traim pats Kitosaki on the back.
Elurora slowly says, "It might be a silly idea but since they can't seem to sense or use holy magic, what if we just cast a whole lot of holy spells around him? Maybe that'd just blind them to where he is for a bit..."
Elurora shrugs.
Kitosaki exclaims, "I know something without knowin it!"
Unaka says to Kitosaki, "Mauls are good too."
Kitosaki cackles!
Unaka puts her maul in her thick satchel.
Unaka sheathes her splitting maul.
Ryeka draws forth a sparkling uthamar mace with a lotus blossom head.
Kitosaki falls over.
Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.
Kitosaki rolls around on the ground. Typical.
Kitosaki laughs!
Crobin nods to Elurora.
Ryeka shows Kitosaki her uthamar mace.
Traim tilts his Tokka deck side to side, making the light play off it.
Saragos says to Tirost, "So, you bring up two concerns. Regarding Daervlan, the various worthies of this world have left us to solve things on our own. So I'm inclined to do that, and beg forgiveness later. If Daervlan wants to come out and tell us not to, I'll listen. Otherwise it's full steam ahead. Regarding the risk of the Heralds getting at Zengmodaleth... I suppose that's a reasonable concern."
Kitosaki snorts, loudly.
Ryeka winks.
Kitosaki stands up.
Crobin says, "]Elu I think that and having holy sorcery cast at him as well."
Ryeka sheathes her uthamar mace.
Crobin sighs.
Elurora pats Crobin on the back.
Crobin says to Elurora, "I think that and having holy sorcery cast at him as well."
Elurora asks Crobin, "Just keep casting uncurse at him?"
Kitosaki rubs his hands together.
Elurora looks at Crobin, obviously trying not to grin.
Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.
Crobin says to Elurora, "Uncurse, protection from evil, things like that."
Elurora nods to Crobin.
Ezerak ponders.
Kitosaki asks, "War stomping?"
Kitosaki grins stupidly.
Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.
Elurora says to Kitosaki, "I think we'll point your at the drakes."
Elurora flashes a wide grin at Kitosaki.
Kitosaki bounces around happily.
Ryeka chuckles.
Imroth says, "Take him to the Pith and push him off the path."
Casari says, "I'd like to see an Empath try to change him back to what he was. He wasn't as strong then, so maybe the connection was weaker then."
Crobin says, "I can help with the drakes as well."
Saragos asks Tirost, "I guess the question is whether it's worth the risk? Personally, I feel like Zengmodaleth is something that they're not going to want to mess with. It's part of the mana replenishment cycle. They should be afraid of what WE could do there, in my view. Do you disagree?"
Madigan says, "That is also assuming the Baron will allow you to attempt to stow away someone in Therengia that has caused so much pain and harm on the world. I find that unlikely if he takes an interest in the project."
Tirost says to Saragos, "I would assume he's as busy with matters as we are. If there are other options, I think exploring those first would be better than pointing the Heralds towards an ocean of energy, in case it is something they can use for whatever started this in the first place."
Crobin nods to Kitosaki.
Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.
Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.
Aerilia says, "I worry any effort to hide Asildu will doom him. We can't know how far reaching The Herald's gaze is, so I'd assume they can reach all the same far-off places that we can."
Zalinyar bats her eyes at Vaddon.
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Nooobody cares about any Barons!"
Saragos nods.
Traim nods to Madigan.
Ezerak asks, "Would taking him off of the plane even do anything for us? What makes us so certain that the Heralds cannot access the other planes just as easily as this one?"
Lexxa points up.
Madigan gets a mug of roasted coffee from inside his traveler's pack.
Elurora nods to Ezerak.
Lexxa says, "They are right there."
Ezerak says, "Or even easier."
Aerilia nods to Ezerak.
Elurora says to Ezerak, "I'd think they could since we already know they traveled planes before."
(Zalinyar reaches out towards the villager and takes a step forward, a scowl on her face)
Zynell asks, "Do you expect immortal interventions in Zengmodaleth? or would this be after severing his ties?"
Saragos asks, "Well, if we don't bring Asildu off-plane, my best advice would be to take him to a shrine of the Immortals and work quickly. Perhaps Damaris?"
Ezerak nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.
Valynn ponders.
Illiya says to Aerilia, "He might be doomed if we do nothing as well."
Madigan nods to Saragos.
Zalinyar makes a hissing noise that doesn't really sound much like a S'Kra Mur.
Kitosaki scratches his head.
Madigan says, "And, cast a metric ton of sorcery."
Crobin smiles.
Saragos nods to Madigan.
Angel smiles at Madigan.
Zynell says, "You would be welcome at the Dark Grove."
Crobin says, "I think Damaris would be willing to watch from the shadows and help where he can."
Zynell nods to Saragos.
Lexxa shakes her head at Madigan.
Crobin nods to Zynell.
Traim says, "There it is. The hammer solution."
Gragnel nods.
Aerilia says to Illiya, "Oh, I agree. I'm just saying, I don't think we can hide him while we prepare something. We need to be ready to act immeciately, whatever our plan winds up being."
Gragnel exclaims, "Praise Damaris!"
Ryeka nods.
Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.
Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.
Kitosaki gets an oversized kertig maul capped with a viciously sharp warklin impaler from inside his weapon harness.
Kitosaki gives an oversized kertig maul capped with a viciously sharp warklin impaler a hug!
Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.
Tirost asks Saragos, "What about the lunar observatory?"
Zalinyar curtsies.
Primal Lady Zalinyar drifts southwest.
Mazilyn ponders.
Kitosaki sheathes his kertig maul.
Leayne nods to Crobin.
Eyst asks, "Has there been any indication from the Immortals that they have an interest in forgiving Asildu, or wresting him back from the Heralds?"
Saragos says to Tirost, "The Observatory requires the right rings to get there, and we won't be able to babysit Asildu through the process of making it there in the first place. He's not exactly together."
Elurora slowly says, "Would just taking him to holy ground maybe help? I don't know how it works with Heralds, but it sure makes Necromancers hotfooted."
Tirost nods to Saragos.
Mazilyn says, "I think Truffenyi can work anywhere with or without his specific altar."
Mazilyn nods.
Saragos says, "I just don't think that's feasible."
Illiya says to Eyst, "That part we're not sure about yet as it has not been attempted."

Zalinyar leans back against Vaddon with a loving smile.
Ruea raises an eyebrow.
Zalinyar gently kisses Vaddon on the cheek.
Saragos asks, "Let's move on to how to sever his connection to the Heralds. To start out with, we'll need to make sure to play the song that he was playing that helped him to regain his sanity. Any Bards here that heard the song?"
Vaddon smiles at Zalinyar.
Saragos asks, "Well, heard the song and felt like they could give a stab at replicating it?"
