Mystran rest

[Ebiris]

Alicia then returns to Marie and Mystra's side. "I've spread the knowledge of how to defend against Shar's new trick, are you feeling better Mystra?" she asks right off.

[Anastasia]

"I'm in recovery," Mystra confesses to you, "But my energy returns by the moment."

[Ebiris]

"Selune is eager to strike at Shar in reprisal, but there's something else," Alicia says. "Shar contacted me - to gloat. But she proclaimed today as the day of her ultimate victory in Creation. That's rather more grandiose than she usually gets and has me worried over what has actually been accomplished with this."

[Anastasia]

"Too grandiose," Mystra agrees. She slowly sits up and focuses on you. "I fear she means to do something with the Weave, some way and some how. I can imagine nothing else that would give her such a sense of vindication."

[Ebiris]

"That's what I was thinking," Alicia nods. "Similarly, whatever she's doing, using your blood probably gives her some means of blinding you to what's happened. It might be good for one of us to put a second set of eyes on it."

[Anastasia]

"That is wise," Mystra says. "Do you have a volunteer?"

[Ebiris]

"Marie and I are right here," Alicia points out. She wouldn't have suggested it if she wasn't willing. "But you have other candidates of course."

[Anastasia]

Mystra offers her hand out, a wordless acceptance. "Then look with all your mind and will."

[Ebiris]

Marie and Alicia both put their hands on Mystra's. They don't have to hold up the weave, it won't be the same ordeal as earlier, but it'll still require careful attention for them to see without relying on Mystra, as doing so would only subject them to the same theoretical blind spot Alicia worries about.

[Anastasia]

Both of you are sorcerers, so give me Charisma checks. +3 bonus since Mystra's letting you see and you've done things like this before.

[Ebiris]

[18:48] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+42 Alicia, good hope, improvisation
[18:48] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 45 > [d20=3]
[18:49] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+36 Marie, good hope, improvisation
[18:49] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 55 > [d20=19]

Forgot to add the +3, so Alicia got 48 and Marie 58 in total.

[Anastasia]

The Weave is everything and in that, you are all.

Marie and Alicia lose themselves in it, a timeless forever that stretches into mere minutes. You search the Weave, you see the spells. You are the spells, every fireball and cure light wounds spell cast across Creation and more.

And yet it is all as it should be. It is all tranquil and proper. Magic flows as it should.

[Ebiris]

The two withdraw and look at each other first, Marie shaking her head before Alicia nods in acceptance. "We couldn't sense anything amiss either. Either Shar's hidden it that well, she hasn't done it yet, or her plan runs along a different thread entirely," she says to Mystra.

[Anastasia]

"She must be hiding it," Mystra says, "I cannot imagine she will not strike against the Weave somehow." She rests a moment before, "We must discern what she plans."

[Ebiris]

"Savras or Azuth might see more clearly than we did, it's worth checking again," Alicia says, considering it. "To pierce deception... Antenora has a talent for that but she's not magically inclined, she wouldn't get anywhere with the Weave." She leaves it hanging in case Mystra has any ideas who might be a good candidate at seeing something in her own blind spot.
