A blessed homefront

[Ebiris]

"I should hope not," Alicia says, the embrace softer than usual since she doesn't have her armour on. "And I wouldn't trade you for anyone either. Don't do anything too risky with all of this."

[Anastasia]

"Even if this fails, I can rest knowing that at least I wasn't so lonely at the end," Mystra agrees, meeting your gaze. "You too, Alicia. Survive."

[Ebiris]

"We both will," she concludes, getting up. "I'll go and prepare, now."

[Anastasia]

Okay then, what preparations do you have in mind, before anything else.

[Ebiris]

I want to talk with the team about how we can find/bait out Shar's mook squad of new deities, but before that should see about recruiting Red Knight and Tempus to the cause.

[Anastasia]

Sure. How do you plan to approach that then?

[Ebiris]

Start with Red Knight since we've had more dealings and she's closer to my level. I'll godspeech her asking if I can come over and chat.

[Anastasia]

Go for it.

[Ebiris]

Red Knight, do you have time to talk right now? I'd like to visit you, or you could come here if you prefer.

[Anastasia]

I will visit you shortly.

[Ebiris]

We'll await your arrival then.

Now just to wait!

[Anastasia]

It doesn't take long. The Red Knight arrives without fanfare this time a cloaked and hooded visitor, no one giving her a second look as she slips into your palace.

Go ahead and set up how you do this and if you want anyone else there.

[Ebiris]

Alicia sends a lantern archon to guide Red Knight to one of Liberton's sitting rooms where she waits, a tea service and snacks prepared but no maids or the like on hand. Not even Marie! This'll be just the two of them.

[Anastasia]

The Red Knight arrives, cloak's hood pushed back. "Private," she steps in and closes the door, "Suitable for this meeting."

[Ebiris]

"Welcome," Alicia stands up to greet her. "There's a time for ceremony, but we don't always have to make a production out of our visits." Still, she pours out some tea, can at least be a good hostess. "Thank you for coming on short notice."
