More Offensives (Afina and Jaela; 84 days left)

[Anastasia]

Okay, I presume you two are going traitor hunting first thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm right, how are y'all approaching it?

[Ebiris]

Need to interrogate Apasa and Mala once Ilsenine's spells recharge/before Mala recovers from her negative levels.

[Corwin]

If that fails I'll be pretty and make them tell me.

[Anastasia]

Which one first?

[Ebiris]

Apasa

[Anastasia]

Apasa sits in his cell, held and beaten up from his capture. His gaze is down, eyes half closed.

Go ahead and set this up on how you all are going to do it.

[Ebiris]

Afina allows Ilsenine the honours with her refreshed spell selection. Hopefully he won't have the same sort of uncanny willpower as Mala has.

> roll 1d20
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{7}

A single spell and Ilsenine nods. "His will is mine. Ask him what you wish to know. You will answer all these questions, Apasa.'

[Corwin]

Seems like things are progressing! Jaela waits for Afina to do her thing.

[Ebiris]

"Lets start with something immediately relevant. What was the creature you were trying to release when we found you and what was your objective with it?" Afina asks.

[Anastasia]

"The Blighted Prince," Apasa answers. "He would be a powerful asset to defend Lifasa and overthrow Aurora."

[Ebiris]

"Where did you learn of this Blighted Prince?" Be good to know if it was independent research or if he just got told by Taelfagn. She'd bank on the latter.

[Anastasia]

"I found it within captured lore," Apasa says, "References, allusions. Further research provided greater illumination." His vice is cold, mechanical, unchanging as he speaks under command.

[Ebiris]

Hmm. Good job surprising her, Apasa. "Who else did you notify of your discovery?" Of course the devils working for Apasa in the fortress would've reported it to their true superiors anyway, but be interesting to know if he was trying to keep this secret from his masters.

[Anastasia]

"The Duke of Destiny and no other," Apasa says, "It is my victory alone."
