Journey abroad (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

"It's interesting, but not for myself," Ellese admits, "More the theory behind it."

[Corwin]

"Let's get it as a gift for Candy, then?" Jaela suggests. As for the theory, she can't help but wonder if there could be a variant that works with light or even holy power. Probably, though she expects it'd be a more difficult spell to master.

To Antenora, she sends, 'I think we're ready to continue?'

[Anastasia]

Post the expense in loot. The price is a normal 6th level scroll.

[Anastasia]

From here you wander the New City. It's all houses not too old, fairly large ones interspersed with the occasional shop. You see children playing and guards walking the streets, a good time until you come on one house in particular, not far from a temple of Mystra. It's a two story house, like many others here. Yet the front door has flowers, baskets of food and even coins left there. Antenora stops before it and looks on for a good time, "Home," she murmurs, "Alicia, myself and our friends lived here before her ascension."

"Oh!" Mirima raises an eyebrow, grinning. "So it's a shrine now, down to the offerings?"

"Balmuria is still grateful for Alicia's bravery. For our bravery." Antenora advances to the door, "The faithful guard it on most days, but today is not most days."

[Corwin]

"Hey, that reminds me," Jaela muses. "Back home one of the merchants is selling a ring that's rumored to have belonged to Alicia. Want me to pick it up and send over, in case it's the genuine article?"

[Anastasia]

Antenora pauses at that, midstep to the door and hand out to open it. "No. I will go myself. If it is somehow one of Alicia's rings, I'll see that it returns to her. If it isn't, I will have words with that merchant."

[Corwin]

"Just tag along with us when we return, then," Jaela offers. "It would be a pain for you to get inside on your own."

[Anastasia]

A nod and then you are lead inside. It seems...like a house. A normal, well decorated house, with a large living room that connects directly to the kitchen. There's a stairway going up. "Amazing things came from such a simple place," Antenora says, drifting over and looking all around.

Ellese comes in, taking a seat after looking around. "Are there any lingering magics here? Any affects or the like?"

"Yes. Alicia's faithful who sleep here have visions," Antenora drifts to the kitchen, "She still remembers this place. A place where evil was vanquished." She comes over to Ellese, "Rest here a time, meditation here may help you."

[Corwin]

Jaela perks up at Antenora's suggestion. "That's a pretty good idea," she agrees. "And we've got time. I wanted to run a training idea by Antenora as it is."

[Anastasia]

Ellese quickly nods, settling into the couch to relax. Mirima comes over as Antenora leads the two of you to the kitchen, speaking quietly. "What's your idea?"

[Corwin]

"Okay, so I'm just thinking out loud, right?" Jaela says as she looks the two of them over. "Mirima and I went to Ysgard to train a few months back and there was a bunch of lava and violence to train my body to resist attacks better. I'm sure there's improvement to find here, but I was thinking about the next step of regeneration." She holds up her hand, a ring glinting on it. "The ring of regeneration just doesn't cut it. It's good for aesthetics and making sure you don't die by a stupid accident, but it's utterly worthless in actual combat. So anyway, I figured I'd either work at it in Ysgard or ask someone who has first hand knowledge with people acquiring these sort of skills."

[Anastasia]

"You know, dear, you should have looked closer to home." Mirima says with the beginnings of a frown, "Dana's quite good at regeneration."

"That may work on Ysgard, but not on another plane," Antenora murmurs, keeping quiet. "I did not know how to teleport for a long while after my rise. In time, I developed the skill thanks to a great deal of meditation in Sylica and Mount Celestia. In those planes, meditation was the key. If you seek to bolster your outsider nature, you must remember the planes close to you and how they would reflect on you and that."

[Corwin]

"But Dana likes pain. A lot of pain," Jaela does not quite complain. "Good point, though. No reason I can't ask all my friends to see how they'd manage it and go from there."

She nods at Antenora, then. "Meditation or training with some bigshot in Arvandor or the Court of Stars, going by what you're suggesting?"

[Anastasia]

"I wouldn't suggest it. Do it alone. One of the points of chaos is self sufficiency," Antenora glances over at Ellese as she meditates, "I would think you'd find it just as good to do it on your own, or even faster."

Mirima chuckles warmly, "Jaela doesn't have to do it alone. I'll be there to help her."

[Corwin]

"Chaos sounds so structured!" Jaela comments with a grin, throwing her arm around Mirima. "Yeah, this sounds like a plan."
