Meeting lost family (Jaela)

[Corwin]

Jaela nods, returning Gae Trocaire back into storage before calling upon a healing spell powerful enough to cure most afflictions!

Mass Heal, might even be enough to wake Hanna.

[Anastasia]

Hanna begins to stir but needs a few, groaning.

Baleruk sits up on his hind legs and ROARS, loud enough to make your eardrums throb. "VICTORY!"

"Yeah, wouldn't have used my house as a weapon if I'd realized Mom was going down that hard. You're awful strong, since she's gotten leagues better. I only saw a bit and I could tell." Your brother remarks, "Where'd you get so much might from?"

[Corwin]

"Lost our home world to Abigor, made some bad choices and worse enemies, killed Abigor and even more enemies. It's been a rush of bullshit training and ridiculously hard battles to get to this point," Jaela responds, before jerking her head towards the ruins of his house. "Want me to get that for you? Wouldn't want to presume, maybe you like fixing this up by hand."

[Anastasia]

"I'd normally do it by hand," Your brother admits as Hanna slowly sits up, "Under the circumstances that would make me a poor host, so go ahead."

[Corwin]

Jaela closes her eyes, praying to the Triune to restore her brother's dwelling!

And then she adjusts her headband and grins at Baleruk. "Not bad, eh? We should go somewhere together more often!"

Miracle

[Anastasia]

Your brother stares at you, "You just called for divine intervention for my roof." He says, flatly.

[Corwin]

"That is true."

[Anastasia]

"Divine intervention isn't used like-" Your brother begin, but Hanna raises herself up with a groan.

"Let it go. I agree with you, but the Triune apparently gives Jaela the latitude." Her injuries are healing before your eyes, broken facebones shifting back into place and nose readjusting itself.

He watches his roof reassemble itself, "Y'know, you throw that around like a proxy and not just a servant. Something you're planning on telling us?"

[Corwin]

"I've had the magical epiphany much earlier than the one about immortality," Jaela decides to educate him. "See, high power magic like this follows the path of least resistance. The Triune is aware of my request, of course, in a similar way she's aware when I'm casting Mending. If the Miracle can accomplish my desire by finding a reasonably suitable spell and supercharging it, that's what happens. So I reason my request took Make Whole and poured all the extra power into it to get it to go beyond its original limits. People often misunderstand because this same spell can also ask for direct divine intervention. I try not to do that too often, though, because I don't want to bug the Triune with things I can handle on my own."

[Anastasia]

"Anyway," After that your brother rolls his neck, "How long are you and Mother staying?"

[Corwin]

"A while. There's nothing pressing and if they call me back I'm just a spell away from Aurora. Which you should visit, by the way."

[Anastasia]

"You really want me to join up?" Your brother asks, "You're about as subtle as Mother."

[Corwin]

Jaela laughs. "Well yeah, of course I do! The Crusade's my life, and it's not like I had family in said life before so the more, the merrier. And you're family, so I'm not gonna manipulate you into joining. Then best be direct about it, I figure? Though seriously, even if you're not up to it you can just visit. We don't lock the gates after!"

[Anastasia]

"She's less subtle than I am," Hanna corrects, "I've seen balors more subtle than Jaela." Rubbing her neck as her jaw finishes shifting back to where it should be, "You aren't in the middle of something here, are you?"

"Nothing I can't put off. I'm resting more than anything else, didn't feel right to start a new crusade with that other business still going," Your brother admits. "Give me a couple days and I'll drop in. There's, ah, a nymph and..." He coughs, looking away.

"I understand." Hanna says with a smile, "If you can find a nymph's sweeter side, few things are as alluring."

"I've been buttering her up, getting past the haughtiness, so just leaving would set me back to where I was." Your brother says, "Give me a few days to settle that the right way and I'll be along."

[Corwin]

Jaela ponders telling him that they have a succubus, but it's best to let them meet normally without her mother saying something here. She'll just have to look forward to it!

"Sounds like a lot of work. I've met nymphs. Haughty's an understatement."
