Relief

[Nephrite]

"I don't know that anyone exists who could answer it, but I think it's best idea. But... anyway, that doesn't help us get it to Elysium." Moore says. "It's not going to be lured there by a promise of peace, so what could we offer it to get it there?"

[Anastasia]

"What does it want?" Xandra reasons, "Find out what it wants and you have a lever. It wants to kill the divine, but what else?"

[Nephrite]

Moore takes a moment to think about that. "It wants allies for its mission... and it probably wants more power to succeed. Are those tangible enough, though...?" He muses quietly. "What else is there...?"

[Anastasia]

"Perhaps it's time we learned more about it," Xandra suggests, "Rather than assume? Knowledge is power, as they say."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, I suppose all we have right now are fragments." Moore says as he looks up. "We should probably go higher to find those answers."

A turn to Pistis Sophia again. "We will return when we have solidified exactly what we need. Thank you again." A small bow of his head follows this.

[Anastasia]

"I did little but let you reflect on your own thoughts," Is the answer instead, a faint smile, "I feel that is all you needed in this case."

[Nephrite]

"We will likely still need a champion's aid." Moore says as he begins to rise. "Should that be the case, we will return and await wisdom."

[Anastasia]

Okay then pixie, next move then?

[Nephrite]

We're going to go up until we find an obvious stopping point, or are redirected elsewhere.

The intent will be to better understand our good friend Heck Ton of Chairs.

[Anastasia]

Sure, give me a d100.

[Nephrite]

[21:14] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[21:14] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=86 ]{86}

[Anastasia]

You wander in the fog.

Xandra stays at your side and is silent a goodly time.

Each step is quiet as the cold of the fog caresses your cheeks.

"If all else fails, will you try and destroy it?" Xandra asks at last.

[Nephrite]

"No." Moore says. "It doesn't deserve that. Once we defeat Shar, then I'll just find another way to save it."

[Anastasia]

Xandra smiles. A soft and warm smile. You feel her - her essence, her silent approval. Her love and compassion before she says, "Just do not forget your limitations, Moore."

[Nephrite]

"I won't." Moore promises. "But let's prove the impossible to be impossible first, shall we?"
