Lillend and courre (Calleigh)

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh nods after a moment, "You're right. We'd probably need an army. And a bunch of adventurers besides. And divine aid."

[Anastasia]

"I fear an army would be naught but a memory by the time we reached Nessus." She turns to him, "Avernus has weathered the assault of the Abyss for as long as anyone can remember. Should we do what the demons have not, we still must proceed through 7 more layers before we reach Nessus. Adventurers..." Vivantha trails off and sighs, "There are precious few accounts of Nessus, and many are thought to be fakes. The rare few who make it to Nessus are never heard from again, with exceptionally rare exceptions."

Vivantha stops. She smiles softly and sadly, "Thank you, Calleigh. It's that only a miracle can save Muirfinn now. I have prayed, studied and called in every favor anyone owes me and all tell the same story: Nessus is nigh unassailable, be it to an army or individual forces."

[Yuthirin]

"Well certainly not with that attitude! You asked Selune for help and she brushed it off? That doesn't sound like her, especially with so many of her worshippers here. You'd think that if he worshipped her, she'd do more than the oracular version of throwing up her hands in defeat." Calleigh looks puzzled.

[Anastasia]

"Less that and more that..." Vivantha reaches out, touching Muirfinn's name. A projection of him appears, Vivantha bowing her head. "If a miracle is to come, it will come. I will not stop praying for it as long as I live. Until that day, I can do more for him by honoring his memory and continuing the fight."

[Yuthirin]

I give you a conversation hook and you ignore it. I swear.

"Of course not! You can't give up hope!"

[Anastasia]

I feel that way all the time as a DM, Yuth. I feel ya on that, she just wasn't going to take it there for a variety of reasons.

"I will continue to hope until I see him return," Vivantha agrees.

[Yuthirin]

"That's good, but don't be sad at the same time! We'll get him back!"

[Anastasia]

"One day," Vivantha says, "One day."

Anything else you wanna say to her?

[Yuthirin]

Nope, she didn't take the bait, so apparently Muirfinn is a lunatic now.

[Anastasia]

She didn't grasp that you came to that conclusion, Calleigh. Which is a mildly amusing misunderstanding, one supposes. Mother Ocean won't smite you for a misunderstanding, so it's all good.

Anything else you want to get done, Tryll and Calleigh?

[Yuthirin]

Might do some shopping, but other than that, no.

[Anastasia]

Shop away and be ready! Locking this thread.
