A guest of the efreet

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and goes over to Cresiel!

He looks at him expectantly!

[Anastasia]

"Nothing, merely let them work," Cresiel admits, "I'm a student of healing magic and half the time Jetina's theories can befuddle me."

[Nephrite]

"Very well." Moore says. "I guess there really isn't anything to do except to wait, then."

[Anastasia]

Pretty much since it looks like Seira's thread is reaching a climax. I'm going to pause you briefly for that to resolve. If for some reason that changes I'll get you moving again.

[Anastasia]

It is not long before Barachiel returns. "We are leaving," he announces, "Negotiations have failed."

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns.

"Very well." He says as he stands up.

[Anastasia]

Murmurs at that but Barachiel says, "We will discuss it when we are back. Let us not overstay our welcome."

Anything else to do here or ready to go back?

[Nephrite]

Let's get going!

[Anastasia]

Once back on the beaches of Lunia, Barachiel speaks, "It will be war," he announces. Negotiations failed. All of you are to return to your duties and immediately begin to prepare for further conflicts. Especially those who reside in Lunia, you will be receiving further forces for defense."

Vel Custos bows, "It will be as you say. Lunia shall stand against any assault."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods, and then speaks up.

"Lord Barachiel, if you'd like me involved in any diplomatic endeavors for this, please let me know. Otherwise, Hope's Landing is protected and safe, so if anyone needs an emergency respite, they are welcome there." He says.

[Anastasia]

"I will spread my will to you when it is right. For now, return and prepare. Do not leave Lunia until further orders," Barachiel declares, "If there is an emergency that requires you to, send me."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and will take his friends back to Hope's Landing!

[Anastasia]

Once back, you find the skies are cluttering already. Flights of angels and archons can be seen, forces gathering all about as you travel back home. At Hope's Landing Kaja waits for you, "Back?" he calls, from atop the wall, waving, "How did it go?"

[Nephrite]

"Is it not obvious from all the hubbub?" Moore asks as he gestures around.

"It sounds like we're going to get our chance to get that armor off of Nasir in one way or another." He adds. "I don't know how the negotiations went exactly, but... it looks like we've got a war on our hands."

[Anastasia]

Kaja exhales and then smiles, all sharp teeth, "Good. Let them come and offer up their treasures to us. The bloodstains come out with magic."
