Attack on Sylica

[Anastasia]

Eblis - vanishes. A moment later, you notice the path is beginning to vanish as well!

[Ebiris]

"Lets go Antenora," Alicia says, figuring they've worn out their welcome and knowing better than to push it - hopefully Eblis will ruminate a bit on what he's learned here and it'll lead to change for the better. "Quickly now."

[Anastasia]

Movement speed?

[Ebiris]

200, but I'll go at Antenora's pace (though she has a head start since she was blasted back!)

[Anastasia]

Antenora's 270ft now, DvR0 grants the movement speed boost.

When did Antenora get so fast?! She's a blaze as she flees, almost leaving you behind. Almost. The two of you pass into fire just as the path vanishes entirely. Antenora turns back a moment and then shakes her head, "Let's go home."

[Ebiris]

I'll have used blinding speed to hit 230 then, not that it matters!

"Yes, give him time to think on what you showed him," Alicia agrees. "These things take time, we both know it," she adds, opening a gate back to Sylica.

[Anastasia]

Thus you return and...

Next move?

[Ebiris]

Assuming Ebony's sufficiently recovered she can go back to being our Aurora liaison. I'll make sure she passes on word about Gathgorian.

Sidenote when that word reaches Afina, and it should, she's going to cancel her vacation and start clearing out her divine IOUs. Since it may be relevant what certain figures do with a pixie favour, Auril, Lathander, the Triune, Morwel, and Bahamut will get her services in that order with the only rules being no task that takes over one year and one day, and no task that harms Lifasa or anyone who fought to free it.

Otherwise Syala and I will go chat up Sulia about her aboleth problems on Daun and see if there's anything we can do to help.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so noted.

Any prep I need to know about before going to meet Sulia?

[Ebiris]

Nah, we'll just go over and chat her up for the deets.

[Anastasia]

Empress Sulia meets the two of you in a rose garden, deep within her quarter of Brightwater. You sit on wrought iron metal chairs painted white, decorated by rose carvings of ruby, woven like strands into glittering crystalline stars.

"Dears," Empress Sulia comes over, "I keep hearing the most amazing rumors about the two of you!"

[Ebiris]

"Well we could explain," Alicia begins as she rises to greet Sulia with a hug before parting to let Syala do the same. "And we will! But I think it'd be interesting to hear what's being said about us lately."

[Anastasia]

"Do tell," Syala invites, taking a seat once hugs are given.

"Well, first of all, news of you spanking Lixer is everywhere, along with newer stories about a raid on Air." Sulia declares. "Something about giant, two headed ravens."

[Ebiris]

"Well of course you were there for Lixer," Alicia smiles. "But that last one, we helped Seira with attacking one of Yan-C-Bin's fortresses on Chan's behalf. It was guarded by behemoth ravens, though our attack on the interior was interrupted by Shar's forces. We actually had to have a truce with Yan-C-Bin's proxy Palave who was on site as we dealt with Shar's attack. Which occured along with an attack on Sylica itself."

[Anastasia]

Syala frowns, sharply. "Alicia dear, how does anyone know about that," Syala says, "Didn't Shar's attack wipe out everyone but yourselves and Palave?"
