"No," Elle says right away.

Lady Sanzha smiles, "You do have an avatar to spare, far more than us," she points out.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"This is true," Seira agrees. "I'll do it, but since my avatar will be busy you'll just have to use yours for something I've been meaning to get done already. And it's perfect, since there's three of them and three of you!"

With a flourish, a trio of cursed items are produced, shielded with her divine power but still rather nasty!

"It doesn't matter whether you do it yourselves or find a worthy hero to handle the quest for these two, but I want Todesurteil to be reforged into a suitable sheath for Arondaaq or reformed into a useful element of the Cauldron's defenses, so that probably requires a personal touch."

I want them to purify Inevitable, Todesurteil and Nightfall.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Inevitable: This ring was worn by Agares, appearing as a wide band of dead gray metal that slowly twists into nothing as it loops around, ending just before it finishes making the ring, leaving a tiny gap in it. Any time a creature deals lethal damage to the wearer, they must make a DC 30 will save. Failure deals 18 points of damage, the wearer healing the same amount minus 1. In addition, it grants a +2 profane bonus to armor class and saving throws. [Inevitable radiates strong evil.]

Quote
To purify Inevitable, you must wear it while seeing to the restoration of lost life and then the creation of something that will restore more life than was lost. Both must be on a great scale, at least that of a large empire. Each day the ring is worn on this quest, the wearer loses 1 point from their maximum hit points. These hit points cannot be restored until the quest is finished.

If you have an exact quest that fulfills those parameters feel free, but it should be something that isn't easy nor quick. If it's something that could be done quickly, it's a bad choice here.

Todesurteil: This lantern sheds life draining green light in a thirty foot radius. Each round a being is exposed to it, they suffer one point of vile consitution drain. This can only be healed by a Restoration spell cast in a sanctified area.

Quote
This lantern can be purified by quenching the lantern's green light within one of the Seven Great Springs of healing in Empyrea, then have a phoenix willingly hold the lantern until it is slain by the Constitution drain, then immolated by the flames of the phoenix's rebirth.

Nightfall: Bracers of Armor+14. Grants a +2 profane bonus to the caster level of spells from the evil domain. 280,000 gold.

Quote
Nightfall can be restored by being touched by the regrets of a fallen paladin who bears the hopes of a nation.

Right. Two from Bleak Rendor and one from Sharran shenanigans?

Those two are ancient so it's hard to be certain but I want to say yes. The Sharran one is Sharran, yep. Here is the link where I asked you for purification quests (which I've quoted above).

"I'll make sure to get one," Kascha promises, as Sanzha merely adds, "Well, that'll give us something to do."

Corwin

She's a phoenix, so it's a perfect feat! "Alright. Then I'm heading for Earth!"

She'll invite Donald and Amaryl, and that should be fine. Amaryl could make the arrangements for a meeting with the Khan, too!

Anastasia

Any prep for this to set up for next time?

No, just the usual travel spells.

Silly question possibly or I failed an in between session reading check, but where on Earth?

As I wrote, Amaryl will helpfully make the arrangements for us. So aside from a case where the Khan tells us he doesn't want to meet, to wherever he offers.

Okay, I was just out of it. Good to know.

You appear in a cavern. Hardly a surprise for Earth. However, this one has great ceiling to floor veins of colored quartz, the ceiling nearly a hundred feet high. The room is filled with soft, multicolored light from this. Inside the crystal veins of water run, a few cracks letting water leak out and form little pools around some of the veins.  Water that glitters with crystal dust, glittering.

Deep in this chamber a pair of stone thrones sit. On one is the Khan, who awaits you flanked by a pair of massive beings - primal earth elementals. 30ft away an identical throne faces his, as if awaiting someone to sit in it.

Seira gives him a pleasant smile, making her way to the other throne.

Anastasia

Donald and Amaryl flank your sides as you approach the throne. Will you sit on it?

As you approach, "You wanted to talk," The Khan says, to the point, "What is it?"

Seira appreciates cutting to the point!

"It concerns the ambitions of the Crimson Firebrand," Seira responds. "Kossuth is interested in gathering support on Earth, and I've offered to act as intermediary."
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

A nod. Short and to the point, "I'll listen to your offer," he invites, "What is Kossuth offering?" He stays where he is, expression serious but calm.
