Pixie power (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Ah, relief at last. Back in Aurora, no dangers and no twisted Astral. Moore finds himself in the courtyard, watching great schools of fish swim outside of Aurora's barrier. It's sublimely calming, tensions from the past several days bleeding away as he rests here.

But thoughts do not leave him alone. First and foremost, his anarch powers come to mind.

Ball's in your court here.

[Nephrite]

His first thought is that the most natural place for him to go is Celestia. However, he doesn't want to simply barge in there.

So, the best way to ask is by praying, right? So that's what he'll do!

Intent is to go to the temple and pray to Erathaol and basically ask if it's kosher for him to Plane Shift to Celestia - wherever the Mountain decides he should land he'll work with, whichever layer that is. But he doesn't want to just go ahead and do it before he at least asks.

[Anastasia]

Which temple?

[Nephrite]

Since there isn't one for Celestia yet (Moore may work on that...) the one to Selune.

[Anastasia]

If you do want to work on it, add it to pending stuff at the bottom.

The temple of Selune is quiet right now. A few of the laity are about, but no sign of Balyss or Stille. It's quiet, more people outside watching Water than inside the temple. But it provides it peace and clarity, allowing Moore's mind to easily relax.

Just praying or casting a divination?

[Nephrite]

He's going to try praying first.

[Anastasia]

Wis check then.

[Nephrite]

[23:05] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+5
[23:05] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 7 > [d20=2]

[Anastasia]

A good hour or so of prayer follows. Moore feels revitalized and refocused, though he has received no guidance from above.

[Nephrite]

There's no harm in being patient. It's a virtue, isn't it? He'll simply keep praying for now -- he's been so busy the last few weeks that he never really had a chance to sit down and do that.

Presuming it's the same roll.
[23:13] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+5
[23:13] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 13 > [d20=8]

[Anastasia]

More time passes. Moore feels refreshed, but still no guidance. Some time during his prayer, Still entered. He talks to the laity quietly, answering a few questions you don't really catch. He tends to the altar, sprinkling it with holy water and a silvery powder.

[Nephrite]

This would probably be going better if it wasn't Selune's temple, but hopefully she doesn't mind.

Ah, what's another hour or two to an eternal land like Celestia? He'll take a deep breath and focus. If this doesn't work... well, he'll just try something else. Or maybe not. He's indecisive today.

[23:17] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+5
[23:17] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 21 > [d20=16]

[Anastasia]

Hours slip by. Moore is at peace and content, knowledge slowly tricking in. The point of Celestia isn't to reach it, because that is only the beginning. Does not everyone climb the holy mountain?

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to himself, content in the knowledge. Yes, if Celestia demands he start at the beginning on his journey, then that is how it shall be. If Celestia deems he should start somewhere else, then that's how it shall be.

Quick questions before anything else -- can Moore borrow a bag of holding or something similar for the Nessian spear to take it with him?

Will Word of Recall get him back to Aurora?

[Anastasia]

A bag of holding can be borrowed, I'm sure someone will have a spare they can lend.

What's word of recall in?
