Shake the dust off your feet

"She's taking it well," Alicia reports. "Kossuth wanted to know as well, since the initial trail led to Imix. Lets put some more heat under him."

Kossuth, I've learned who courted the Queen of Air and Darkness's ire with a false facade leading first to me and then to Imix. It was Chylas, a leshay servant of Shar who has ascended to divinity.

[Anastasia]

"Oh, Chylas is going to have a bad day," Syala's smiling, "What a pity."

"Bad and worse," Mystra agrees as Alicia works.

Another that meddles in Fire?

[Ebiris]

Perhaps so. I captured another of Shar's servant deities, Yarus, and was able to obtain this information before Shar bargained for his release. I know little more of Chylas beyond his culpability in this matter.

[Anastasia]

I will mark his name.

"There, I've informed Kossuth. I think we're done for now," Alicia says.

"We'll keep monitoring things in Dead Rat's Nest in case he or Yull show up back there," Marie says. "I doubt they'd be so foolish but you never know."

[Anastasia]

"In the meantime," Syala goes over, "Was any of his treasure worthwhile, Alicia?"

[Ebiris]

"The ring and cloak are too tainted to ever be useful," Alicia goes over her findings there. "The anklet is interesting, it transmutes water into other liquids when you walk over it. The boots are well made and offer an impressive boost to speed, and the armour's extremely good for any spellcaster. You know I dislike the association of using things we find from foes like him, but they are useful if we look past that."

"You never used to be like that," Marie points out. "Is it because these days you're a lot more likely to run into someone again while wearing their old gear?"

"It does feel embarrassing," Alicia admits, cheeks turning slightly pink. "Less like a trophy and more like attending a ball wearing someone's old dress."

[Anastasia]

Mystra laughs. It's a warm and wonderful sound, "Belay your embarrassment, Alicia. You would be far from the first to use that anklet. It has a long history as does everything else but the armor."

"Somehow I feel like this isn't my problem," Syala banters as she comes over, "We can always gift it out."

[Ebiris]

"If I swap my armour I'd rather Latha make me something anyway," Alicia says. "But yes we can gift it out. Honestly, the boots are like my own ones but a straight upgrade so there is some sense in trading up."

"I don't think I need any of it, but Jessica why don't you take the anklet? It's just begging for creative use, and it'll help deal with any Styx water you come across," Marie suggests.

[Anastasia]

That gets Jessica to smile slightly. "That's a good use for it, Marie. Who do you have in mind for the rest of it, sister?"

[Ebiris]

"The unholy items we'll just keep stowed away securely," Alicia says. "As for the armour, hold onto it for now, it might make a good gift for someone."

[Anastasia]

"In the meantime," Syala declares, "I think we can call today a complete victory, can't you?"

"We can, but it's not quite over yet," Jessica says, "We're still watching in case anything happens there, too."

[Ebiris]

"I'm content with it," Alicia says.

Can she feel what's going on with those liberated souls through portfolio sense with her liberation domain?

"But Jessica's right. Keep an eye on things in Dead Rat's Nest. I doubt Yarus will risk going back but Yull might show up there or something might happen that's worth knowing about or interfering with."

[Anastasia]

Yes. The ones intact enough to are going as they should. No interference, fortunately. Some linger - fragments, too damaged to do much by themselves.

"We will, sister,' Jessica says, as...

Okay, what's your plan on that end of it, Marie?

[Ebiris]

Avatars Marie and Jessica will maintain their super-stealth surveillance of Mymtha for at least the next 24 hours to see what happens down there.
