The Great Druid Hunt (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"Maybe you should meditate while we're there?" Jaela offers as they approach the tent. "I've found it helpful with all sorts of things that keep me off balance."

[Anastasia]

Crystal slumps to the ground and is promptly ill, bile spewed and then wracking dry heaves.

Another -1 to Constitution, so she's down 2 points of Con.

[Corwin]

That's just--! "We're going back," Jaela says tersely, opening a Gate leading to Aurora, picking Crystal and stepping past it. Another step takes them past the entrance and into the courtyard.

[Anastasia]

Crystal sags in your arms, color waxen and pale. She clings to you, shuddering and weeping. Once you're inside, Elena appears, "Crystal, you're back, Queen Ilsen...nine...ew." Elena makes a face, "Looks like she needs the infirmary and I'll need to tell Moore, too," she says, "There's been strange signs of a sickness affecting the fey, he's researching it."

[Corwin]

"Oh, bullshit!" Jaela heads directly to the infirmary, gesturing with her head to get Hanna to follow her.

[Anastasia]

"We live in interesting times," Hanna concurs as you follow, getting her to the infirmary. Hanna promptly gets Crystal on a bed, the pixie knight shivering all over. "Elena, would you ask someone who knows what's going on to come here?"

[Corwin]

Jaela doesn't do much aside from helping with the cleaning, though she inquires, "I presume you tried the usual magics, short of Miracle?"

[Anastasia]

"I'm trying them," Hanna says, doing that. "I don't think it's working."

[Corwin]

Jaela settles in to wait for the healers in the know Hanna called upon.

[Anastasia]

Soon Balyss and Priest are there, the three working together. They cast spells, look over her and altogether check up on her. As Jaela waits, Mirajane enters. She comes in and rests her hand on your shoulder, eyes on Crystal.

[Anastasia]

As everyone works, Moore also comes in through the portal.

[Corwin]

"Any ideas?" Jaela voices. "What do we know? Who's got this, how it started? Are the symptoms the same?"

[Nephrite]

"Ah, um... I have a working theory." Moore says. "I'll explain all about the seer I met in Celestia, but to summarize: It's my belief that the devils are using Lief to poison Yggdrasil and we're all starting to feel the effects of it."

He flies over to Crystal and speaks quietly. "Crystal? It's Moore. I know this is going to sound odd, but where do you think Yggdrasil is? Do you have any inkling?"

[Corwin]

How can that even be a thing?! Plenty angels fell but Hell's not using any of them to poison Arborea. Lief is a touchy subject, however, and Jaela keeps her reservations to herself, while confirming, "This is what Celestia believes? Elena, is Morniel here? What does he think?"

[Anastasia]

"I'll bring him over," Elena pops in and then vanishes.

"There's more," Mirajane says softly, "About a journey to Yggdrasil and a chance to save Lief's soul."

"We're working on it," Balyss calls back, "It doesn't look good, it's resisting magic."
