Salvation (Everyone)

[Ebiris]

With Jaela currently in combat Afina handles replying to Hanna. 'Good work, make sure that devil comes back under heavy guard until it's secure in our dungeons.'

[Anastasia]

'On it. Makaril will be en route with the prisoner, as well as to confer about strategy.' Hanna sends back.

[Ebiris]

'Understood,' Afina replies, keeping an eye out the gates as she waits.

[Anastasia]

Gimme a new Spot check since you were away?

[Ebiris]

[18:22] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+70
[18:22] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+70 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{74}

[Anastasia]

No one sneaking in right this moment, but you see something. A firre eladrin in Sylican heraldry, "Hi," she calls, "Permission to enter? I have a message for Aurora!"

[Ebiris]

While it could be an infiltrator in disguise... Afina's ability to see through disguises is as good as her ability to see through stealth, and even a fallen firre can be told apart from the genuine article, nevermind trying to doll up an erinyes. Plus Sylvie's right here to see through any deception. "Granted!" she calls so Elena knows the defences can let this one through. "I'm General Afina, what message do you have for us?"

[Anastasia]

"We're detecting signs of a ritual below us. We're going to attack it - and we warn you, because we think it's a big one. If things go awry, it may affect all of us." The firre says, right to the point.

[Ebiris]

"Do you have any specifics of the nature of the ritual or the devils involved?" Afina asks, similarly direct.

[Anastasia]

"Nothing yet, but it's powerful. It could be one of the Dukes directly, but we haven't confirmed anything like that yet," Is the answer. "We do think it involves hellfire ins some form."

[Ebiris]

Unfortunately there aren't any defences they can use against hellfire. "Do you require our support? Fighting for the Throne is winding down, we can spare it."

[Anastasia]

"As of now, no," The firre says, "But that could change, depending on what it is."

Meanwhile, Jaela teleports nearby and heads for Aurora's gates, as you see the devils are in full retreat.

[Ebiris]

Afina nods, the tails of her hat bobbing with the motion. "Alright, in that case pass back that we're ready to assist at need, but otherwise we're fortifying here and preparing for the next assault."

[Corwin]

Catching the end of that conversation, Jaela approaches Afina and says, "We're in a good position to take Aurora to another battlefield."

[Anastasia]

As soldiers come and go nearby, "I will. Anything else, ma'am?"
