More Offensives (Afina and Jaela; 84 days left)

[Corwin]

"She is?! Why don't I get told these things!" Jaela exclaims. "It was important enough to contact us during the raid, but the resolution isn't?" She frowns all of a sudden. "Is Ellese back as well and no one bothered to tell me?"

[Anastasia]

"Selune chose to bring her into eternity. I understand it was to happen sooner or later, and that needs merely brought it forward. She is a valuable mortal servant, too valuable to fritter away with half measures," Morniel explains, and then in a graver voice, "A sacrifice for Balyss, as it will slowly separate her from her friends and mortal life."

Morniel raises an eyebrow, "There must have been a breakdown in communications. She is not back as far as I'm aware."

[Corwin]

Jaela downs her drink of happiness, letting the tension steam out afterwards. "Can you check up on that, you think? We can see if Balyss can narrow our target better for us while congratulating her."

[Anastasia]

Elena pops in, "She's in her room with Sylvie," she says. "Want me to ask her?"

[Ebiris]

"Does she actually look well enough to be handling these queries?" Afina asks Elena, considering the state Balyss was in when they last saw her.

[Anastasia]

"Yeah. I gather Selune helped her when she became a full outsider, and that fixed the problem anyway." Elena says.

[Ebiris]

"Alright then," Afina drains the rest of her drink. "I can tell her all about that steak I ate."

[Anastasia]

Elena vanishes as you sit back and savor. You feel good with that in you, happy and relaxed. You want to smile.

"Another is reasonable. A third only if you're not doing anything productive the rest of the day," Morniel says. "Imbibe wisely as to your needs and demands."

[Ebiris]

"I better not then," Afina says, shaking her head. "Thanks for talking to us Morniel. Any advice for how we pursue the remaining traitors before we get Balyss's perspective?"

[Anastasia]

"I may, but talk to Balyss first. What she gives you could change anything I tell you," Morniel says.

[Ebiris]

She nods, before she and Jaela go off to visit Balyss.

[Anastasia]

Just to be clear, I'm waiting to give Jaela a chance to add anything there.

[Corwin]

We're off to see the wizard!

Who is Balyss.

[Anastasia]

Balyss is not taking wizard levels. Scary!

You find Balyss with Sylvie in her room. The two are passing back a little flask of something and chatting away, "Jaela! Afina!" Balyss waves, flask in hand. "There you are! Elena said you were coming by."

[Ebiris]

"Hello Balyss, you're looking a lot better," Afina says as she flutters in. "Sylvie," she nods in greeting to the other present as well.
