Tryll's Paragon Quest (Tryll)

[Yuthirin]

Meanwhile, Calleigh begins harassing Gisfal. "What just happened!?"

[Anastasia]

Let me pause you for now, since it late and Moore's reply here comes before yours and may affect this.

[Anastasia]

Gisfal is turning already, going to bark out commands, "Secure the perimeter. 8th unit, do a sweep with the air elementals to make sure the outer sphere and defenses are intact."

The eladrin general pauses when you fly up and ask him that, "New intelligence of a possibly unwinnable situation," Gisfal says shortly. "Tend to your master for now, familiar."

[Yuthirin]

"That's rude!"

[Anastasia]

Gisfal's lips twist but he lingers a moment. He starts to say something, pauses and takes a breath. "Calleigh. Wasting time answering your questions may not matter on Elysium, but in another time it might. Lives could ride on it. Lifasa could ride on it. Better hurt feelings than dead bodies. Dismissed." He then turns and goes off, calling out another order.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh makes faces at Gisfal's back as he walks away.

[Anastasia]

What are you two going to do as this all goes down? Anything or just going to see what develops?

[Yuthirin]

Observe for now. I see nothing to do at present.

[Anastasia]

Tryll and Calleigh wait. The two of you see Moore going about, talking to Adrian and Gisfal, then Elena appearing and vanishing as people hurry to him. First Dana and then nearby you hear Elena pop in, "Canderella, go with Moore. You're heading to Lifasa in support," she says, and then vanishes.

Canderella chuckles, "Well, well," she murmurs to herself, starting to go. "Wish me luck, everyone."

[Yuthirin]

"Good luck, Candy! Don't get caught by devils! I like you!" Calleigh waves.

[Anastasia]

As Canderella goes off, Elena pops back in. She's harried, quickly casting you, "Can either of you divine at all? We need all diviners."

[Yuthirin]

"Yep! Where do you need us?"

[Anastasia]

"Get somewhere you can cast as quickly as possible and ask divinations about Afina and Jaela's immediate safety," Elena says, "We have word Bel was about to attack Aurora on the Astral, and we're worried he might redirect to Lifasa instead."

[Yuthirin]

"Oh. It was Bel?" Calleigh wonders, "That's...awful. Okay. Huh. Whatever. LEt's find a casting spot.

Any spots on the Aurora that have accelerated casting?

[Anastasia]

Nothing like that, unfortunately. The go to for casting a spell like this is reality revision or wish and eating the penalty for an hour. Usually best when it's a non combat problem that requires haste or an emergency.

Incidentally, a faster version of things like that could be developed, Aurora certainly has need for them.
