Ones who stand against Hell (Ithea, Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to the others and then to Surraruthru. "That's a good idea. I can return to Lord Crystalle and explain the situation, perhaps he would know of others in Earth that we might be able to abandon Lixer and his operations entirely. I'll be happy to spearhead that, if you'd all like."

[Yuthirin]

"We're sorry we weren't more useful. Direct reality modification is really strainuous! Straining? Strenuous! Yeah! We did what we could and added some chaos to the mix, which is always a good then when Devils are involved! Then it went boom! BOOM! And things got weird! Weirder than usual! And there was some sort of devil lady or something who wanted to play with negative energy which really isn't very fun when you think about it and we were skeletons for a while and I had to be quiet for sooooooooooooooo long and it was really hard but I did it and that's what counts!" Calleigh adds. "We can help out now though. We're real good at finding things and people and stuff, so if Moore wants to get help with divination and scrying and finding and maybe explosions? and other things we can help! Maybe!"

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles at Calleigh and nods. "If you'd like to help with that, I'd welcome the assistance."

[Anastasia]

"We can't be certain why Lixer chose to postpone his attack, though Afina may have the right of it." Tepen admits, "We just don't know his motivations there, though I would be surprised if Hopelorn didn't play some role in it. Anyway, divination would be helpful. Also, have you all been fully appraised of Jaela's situation?"

[Nephrite]

Moore shakes his head. "I haven't, no."

[Anastasia]

"Her mission was a success, as the crypt on Vacuum was destroyed," Tepen explains, "However, the escape proved tainted, as something was invoked that is scrambling their ability to return home with magic or communicate directly with them. Further, they have been split into several groups thrown across the planes."

"Speaking of," Elena appears, "Good news. Balyss got an omen. She believes that Mei is in the Gates of the Moon."

[Nephrite]

"Oh... so I wonder... hmm... If he'd been able to do that to all of us it would've been a catastrophe, but..." Moore seems to consider for a moment. "Is there anyone currently unaccounted for?"

[Anastasia]

Elder Magi Tepen smiles in relief, "Good news. Thank you, Elena." Turning from her as the ghost girl vanishes, "We know they're alive, but information on the others is still not there. Likely Balyss is working on that now, once she confirms we are not being so strongly interdicted."

[Ebiris]

"Separated and fresh from expending themselves in battle, they'd make perfect targets for devil assassination squads," Afina points out. "If they can't come here do we at least know where they are so we can send reinforcements?"

[Anastasia]

"We know Mei is safe in the Gates of the Moon, Selune's realm. The devils cannot strike her there. Jaela, Canderella and Vivantha are on Gehenna's first mount." Tepen says.

[Nephrite]

"I'll see if Balyss needs any help in locating the others, then." Moore says. "Especially since it sounds like we want to get back to the issue with the Astral and Hopelorn as quickly as possible."

[Ebiris]

"In general Gehenna should be safe enough, but if the devils task a group to chase them down they could be in trouble. Do we have a specific location for them? For that matter are Mirajane, Mirima, Adrian, and Moonlight all unaccounted for?"

[Anastasia]

"Correct," Tepen says, "We're still working that out and hoping for word from them."

[Ebiris]

"Alright," Afina says. "Everyone we have that can be divining these things is working at it, and I don't think there's anything left to discuss. Lets adjourn until we hear more news?" she suggests, fluttering out of her high chair.

[Anastasia]

The high chair comment makes me want to go 'aaaaaaw!' at Afina.

Anyway, what's everyone's plans now?
