Ahead lies the great light that...

Moore looks up.

"I suppose the best way would be to simply ask. Would you all like to go visit Jovar?" He says.

[Anastasia]

"It is only wise," Xandra says, "Let us go, Moore."

[Nephrite]

"Jetina, Kaja." Moore calls. "We have some business to take care of. Don't worry -- everything is fine, but it's the sort of stuff that you're not properly protected against. My avatar can take care of anything while we're gone, so just let me know."

They will rise up to Jovar first, and then Moore will send a divine message to Xerona.

Lady Xerona, may we wise and speak with you?

[Anastasia]

With that done you go on up. Up and up and up and up and up.

In due time this takes you to the Bridge of Al-Sihal, where Xerona awaits you, her gaze like a beam of the purest sunlight.

[Nephrite]

Moore bows his head respectfully.

"We wish to travel to Elysium." Moore says, straight and to the point. "I was hoping that you may know of something we may be able to wear, or carry with us, to prevent us from being pulled to feel a need to stay there permanently."

[Anastasia]

"You should need no such thing for mere Elysium as you are now," Xerona declares, "Do you draw close to the Gate?"

[Nephrite]

"Yes." Moore says. "I believe we will need to to accomplish our mission there."

[Anastasia]

Again they appear - blindfolds. "These will serve you for a time, but not forever. Use them when you must, and know the limitations that bound sight will place you under."

[Nephrite]

Moore will take them and offer another nod and half bow.

"We will go forward with wisdom." Moore says.

Plan will be to return, hit up the Blessing Stone and then head to Elysium proper. We're going to have to deal with the archangels at some point, there's no way around that one, I think.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how to approach this Moore is happy to hear them before they go, though.

[Anastasia]

You'll still be resting a day, right?

[Nephrite]

Yes, let's make sure we're fully refreshed before going anywhere.

[Anastasia]

That evening you do so much. Both of you do, together and in tandem. As you deal with a familiar Lathanderite diplomat, another of you comes across two of your friends in Jetina's room. Jetina and Sylvie chat away, rather quietly, but it's as easy to hear as anything now, even with the door closed as you pass by.

"...and anyway, he's fast asleep. I can tell from here." Sylvie remarks.

"Still though," Jetina says, "Don't you think he'd sleep better with-"

Sylvie looks on, unimpressed. "He's past that age." Here she sighs, "Oh, stop giving me that look. He can literally do whatever he wants when he grows up, and the day after tomorrow he has an invitation to play with the daughter of Gond. That reminds me. Moore," she says aloud, "Keep that in mind for tomorrow, I'll need to go myself and at least explain it to Gond the right way, then Oghma. One because I have to for Calley, the other because he deserves to hear it from me."

[Nephrite]

"Sure, take your time." Moore answers. "We can wait for you. You know, Gond once fixed up my rapier and gave it a bunch of really unnecessary buttons. I never did bother to go through what all of them did."

[Anastasia]

"You could come in," Jetina chides a moment later, "Moore, just come in already."

[Nephrite]

You described things as if he could see them, I got confused!

Moore will indeed do that very thing.
