Miasma (Moore, 86 days left)

[Anastasia]

"Mystra's mercy," Tepen murmurs in your mind, 'That's not just an attack, that's an apocalypse.'

[Corwin]

'I got out what's left of Jetina, and like I said we managed to get Moore out and return,' Jaela continues, thawing out from the combat mindset. 'Afina saw Lixer approaching, which was just peachy. According to Moore, he told Finnegan and Westwind to escape in some manner of whirlwind. We haven't seen them or their bodies, and they all seemingly were under a powerful dimensional anchor so I don't see how they could've escaped or been abducted in the time lapse between their last sightings and our arrival.' That's enough exposition, Jaela decides, repeating, 'Can you contact either of them? If not, get Balyss right on this. We'll wait out here for a couple minutes in case they somehow managed to get off plane and still need rescue.'

This last telepathic part she shares with Afina as well, to relay her intentions properly.

[Ebiris]

Afina nods wordlessly, floating in the air at a considerate distance from everything so the shimmering heat haze around her doesn't hurt anyone or scorch the ground underfoot.

[Anastasia]

You three have a few minutes. Doing anything with it to prepare or just waiting in case?

[Nephrite]

Moore will throw a Surge of Hope on everyone, CL27, as well as Tyche's Touch CL16.

[Corwin]

Jaela believes it shouldn't be too hard for Tepen to ask Balyss stuff via Elena. Given two Elenas, it would be nigh-instantaneous. So let's wait a couple rounds on the answer.

[Ebiris]

Afina just waits patiently.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you get your reply.

'They're alive,' Tepen says, 'Still working on it as we speak.'

[Ebiris]

Afina doesn't say it, but Muirfinn was alive too. Lief was probably alive for a little while as well. She just continues to flutter in place until they can go find them or they know for sure they're beyond her reach.

[Nephrite]

For his part Moore just looks down at the ground with his eyes shut.

[Corwin]

Jaela nods, responding with, 'Got it. Waiting on a destination.'

[Anastasia]

'They're safe in Air, though Westwind is distressed,' Tepen sends, 'Extremely so.'

[Ebiris]

'Give us a location and I'll open a gate for them,' Afina asks. If he's distressed he can be distressed among friends.

[Anastasia]

'Please wait,' Tepen replies. 'This is getting complicated.'

[Corwin]

Jaela blinks, before suggesting, 'Tell Finnegan I'll be scrying on him. Afina can connect us after with Gate.'
