Getting the band together

[Anastasia]

No evil.

Done and done. More are freed as you feel it - the slightest victory each time, advancing who and what you are. It resonates within you, a soft tingling following that.

At the same time, a voice you know well in prayer, one of your faithful from Kesse. 'Dragon Princess,' Tyler Burnar prays, 'I find traces of Sharrans. Guide me this day to excise this rot.'

[Corwin]

Glorious! The spell is recast again as Seira cheerfully proceeds ahead. Eventually, she'll probably run into Oraga or Lagann!

And shes's a very good multitasker, which means she sends Tyler Burner her strong approval! And should anything more direct be required, her avatar is ready to take it as far as necessary, all the way to manifestation!

[Anastasia]

'I will triumph,' Tyler promises, 'Not a trace of them will be allowed to fester in the shadows. This I swear on my life.'

[Corwin]

Kesse will never return to what it once was, under Shar. Go with my blessing.

[Anastasia]

With that done, you race ahead - only for the ground to shake suddenly, sharply.

[Corwin]

Seira keeps going, even as she reaches out to Lagann and Oraga.

Are you doing that?

[Anastasia]

'We aren't,' Lagann sends back quickly.

[Corwin]

Can I tell where they are in comparison to myself? Given it's taken me less than five rounds of rushing past the defenses to get to the efreet statue and I've been heading back since, I figure I'm not that far.

Can I tell what the vibration might be a sign of? My basic knowledges are at 102 and I have a bunch of esoteric ones, too.

[Anastasia]

Do you have anything that lets you sense where they are?

It could be a bunch of things, but at the root it's likely an earthquake, massive weight moving, force or some sort of magical fuckery. Can't really narrow it down from that, unfortunately.

[Corwin]

They are my worshippers, plus they are doing some Hopeful Warfarish stuff right now.

"Might I trouble the two of you for a mental image of the mines and the ore refinement facility?" Seira asks the pair of captives. "I'm afraid that the risk of collapse from an earthquake makes keeping you with me needlessly dangerous, and I can proceed there on my own after sending you to the Cauldron."

Should they indicate agreement, Seira will emulate some better Detect Thoughts or one of the telepathy spells I can never recall to view the locations in both of their minds, compare them to make sure I'm not being lied to, and then plane shift them to isolated cells in the Cauldron.

[Anastasia]

They're down below, fighting and slowly advancing.

"I don't know the mines that well," he admits, "I have information about the general layout and placement, but not details." He answers without open rancor, at least. "We were sent here to kill you, not to manage the mines."

[Corwin]

"A shame. Best to keep you two safe, all the same," Seira muses, dropping dimensional blocking to send them to secure cells in the Cauldron, albeit two cells adjacent to each other so that they'd have company. Then, she turns into her draconic form, picks up the efreet statue after turning the interference back on, and hurries towards the next slave her spell detects.

[Anastasia]

Your path leads you to what looks to be kitchens. Here a dozen slaves are clustered together - another half dozen lying on the ground dead. Most are armed with knives, but one has a scimitar crackling with fire.

[Corwin]

This is a rescue! Seira announces. Don't be afraid, gather around, and I'll send you to the Cauldron where you will be free.

[Anastasia]

The slaves all stare at you, one bursting into tears. Another falls to his knees while others flock you. "The Cauldron...who are you?" One asks, "Th-that's Seira's domain!"
