Burrowing ahead

[Anastasia]

"Tell me," Garl says expansively, "What dragon boasts of its hoard recklessly and does not regret it in the end?" Nonetheless after a moment, "Whatever's survived is likely mere treasure. If it survived."

[Corwin]

"It probably survived," Seira muses. "What happened here was harsh and sudden, and then Bytopia itself was chasing off visitors. Yep, it's still there. Oh! Speaking of a dragon's hoard, did you know Waukeen let me visit hers one day? Such a delicious ocean of gold!"

[Anastasia]

"An ocean sounds about right," Garl says, "But then, have you decided to move to Bytopia?"

[Corwin]

"I'd like that," Seira agrees. "The Cauldron's not a dictatorship, so I'll put it to a proper vote. I'm confident we'll make the move, however. After all, we can always keep a shell of the Cauldron on Astral and link the two volcanoes via a color pool if someone's feeling extra nostalgic."

She taps her lips thoughtfully. "I'll make a stop with the timeless ones to confirm there are no issues, since Zaphkiel and the High One approve, then have a meeting with the rest of our pantheon and resolve the whole thing today. So barring something unexpected, the only question is whether you want us to park on the other side of the Monument or aim for Shurrock to not overcrowd Dothion."

[Anastasia]

"Shurrock above us - and below us," A look up by Garl Glittergold, as he offers you his hand again.

[Corwin]

Seira takes it with a grin, even as she's super vigilant against Sharrans!

Perception 103, another divine insight there.

[Anastasia]

No sign of further Shar problems as...

Next move?

[Corwin]

Is it possible for us to meet? There are important matters to discuss, and I wish to do them in person, Seira sends to Grandfather Time once she's back at the Cauldron.

[Anastasia]

You settle into a quiet study and as you send that message? You blink. Grandfather Time sits opposite you. He wasn't there until just that moment, but now he is.

[Corwin]

"Thank you for your promptness," Seira greets him. "Would you like some refreshments? Vayley is quite simply the best cook I've ever met."

[Anastasia]

"Thank you, please," Grandfather Time agrees, seemingly in no hurry at all.

[Corwin]

Vayley, would you be a dear and please try to surprise my guest with something delicious? Seira requests, actually somewhat in a hurry but willing to spend the necessary time for niceties. Politeness is important, after all!

[Anastasia]

'Yes, mistress,' Vayley sends back.

"How are Xera and Emily?" Grandfather Time asks in the meantime.

[Corwin]

"Generally fine, thank you," Seira responds, peeking in on Xera and Emily as she does so. "The usual ups and down on an overally worthy path."

[Anastasia]

You can't see Emily where she is - probably in a powerful divine realm or off on a quest under a Guardian, perhaps.

Xera's in a quiet conversation with Zariel at the moment.

"You and yours do seem to be well," Grandfather Time concurs.
