Diplomatic aftermath

[Corwin]

Seira places the mace on the table between them, offering Yan-C-Bin her hand. "We are entering an alliance against the dao and their own allies in this war under the conditions we discussed today. Agreed?"

[Anastasia]

Yan-C-Bin snatches the mace in hand, "Accepted," he says, agreement given.

[Corwin]

Seira inclines her head. "Thank you again for coming here to meet me. I will contact you with actionable intelligence shortly."

Then she places her hand on Donald's shoulder, and they disappear.

I intend to arrive at Aurora's doorstep, after using a glance at Kascha to find its current location

[Anastasia]

What'cha planning to do here?

[Corwin]

Check on Kascha's progress, leave Donald, see if there's anyone cool who wants to introduce themselves.

[Anastasia]

Sure. Make sure to note what happened to the mace in loot, okay?

Kascha's found in the courtyard. It's not too busy at the moment as she calls, "Seira! You came. How's the war effort?"

[Corwin]

Already had.

"Still in its infancy, but we're starting strong," she tells her. "I was hoping that you had some progress on that arcane thesis, since before long we won't have time to devote to it."

[Anastasia]

Awesome. I'm having a brain fart here, refresh me on this?

[Corwin]

I sent Kascha with all existing Calley notes (including what I got from Mystra and Moore to decode them) to 21's guardian to ask it any questions that might shed some light on the notes, given the similar origin for them. Then I told her to go to the Aurora, nicely ask for access to the library (and to Elena) and see if anything makes sense.

Now I'd like to hear what she came up with.

[Anastasia]

Oh sorry, arcane thesis made me think of the feat and I was totally lost.

"Here you go," Kascha says, producing a small book, "I put it all together for you and it should lead to some insights on it."

[Corwin]

"Thanks! So before we go into your future plans, did you get a chance to run into Ebony? I remember you wondering about Syala's attitude for your second home, which is part of the reason I had you come here."

[Anastasia]

"I did, but I think I need to talk to Syala directly," Kascha admits, "Ebony was polite about it, but she's also not Syala and while she sees Syala isn't that upset?"

Meanwhile Donald's looking around, eyeing the portal towards Baleruk's lair and starting quietly fly up towards it.

[Corwin]

"Walk me through your notes?" Seira asks of Kascha. "A summary is fine at this time. And after, I'll ask for an audience with Syala and send you right over. These sort of concerns shouldn't be left to fester."

[Anastasia]

Kascha clears her throat, "Well...."

As Donald flies off and away, Kascha begins.

Give me an Int check here? I'll spare all of us Kascha going on and on IC about it.
