Seen.

"Oh... from Zaphkiel?" Alicia says, straightening up in the water. "That felt stronger than usual, didn't it? But still, we need to do a lot more than just challenge Shar."

[Anastasia]

"Much more," Latha agrees, murmuring a half heard prayer of gratitude. Afterwards she adds, "Which one first, Alicia?"

Syala is meanwhile silent a few moments and then adds, "If he gives us this strength so freely, I can't wait to fight what we'll have to fight before this is all over. It must be incredible."

[Ebiris]

"I'm hoping Selune or someone will attack Shar again soon and we can help, unfortunately that raid only showed it's not something we can handle on our own," Alicia answers, now rising up from the hot spring and stepping onto the rocks, her body drying as she grabs her clothes and starts to dress. "I've put forward some effort towards finding where Malcanthet is running things out of the Abyss, so we might soon be able to take steps on that front."

Syala follows as Latha lingers a few moments before joining you. "In the meantime?"

[Ebiris]

No immediate goals right now, need a lead on some bad dudes to go punch.

[Anastasia]

As you wait?

Sister, I've been quietly researching the divine seeds.

[Ebiris]

You have? Where have you been looking, and have you found anything?

Even Mystra had only ever seen one when shown directly by an Incarnation, which speaks to their paucity.

[Anastasia]

In a few friendly archives: I've found nothing, unfortunately. Have you any better ideas?

[Ebiris]

Alicia considers the problem before arriving at a potential avenue she wouldn't have thought of on first blush.

Mystra had only ever seen one when an Incarnation showed it to her, and such things are beyond the Weave for her to monitor... but if such things have been found by others in the past, then bartered for... Waukeen may have insight into such trades?

[Anastasia]

That is an gambit I hadn't considered. Thank you, sister.

[Ebiris]

Unorthodox means will have to be used to find such rare treasures, and at best this will only give a starting point. Still, good luck and tell me if you learn anything?

[Anastasia]

I shall, sister.

[Ebiris]

Good luck Jessica!

[Anastasia]

It's not long until you stand with Syala as you overlook Liberton, the two of you alone. "So," she says without preamble, "I've been thinking about trying to inspire more champions, you were there when I last asked about it."

[Ebiris]

"Yes, and we got some advice from Zaphkiel but ultimately it still boils down to trying to spot talent and hoping, doesn't it?" Alicia replies, having made little progress there herself.
