Journey abroad (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"Two very powerful mortal mages ascend," Jaela muses. "Or three, perhaps. Is it a last great mortal marvel, or a divine parting gift?" She shrugs. "I wasn't there. Hey, Ellese, think we could put one up, or we don't have the ability yet?"

[Anastasia]

Ellese pauses and considers, "Technically, Aurora isn't quite a mythal. It's entirely custom work and woven around a different principal. Having studied some of Medi's work, I hesitate to call it interior, it may well be superior to a mythal. As a mythal is put on a place and is immoble, Aurora makes the most sense for it, and I don't know how it would interact."

[Corwin]

"I consider it superior to a Mythal for mostly those reasons," Jaela shares with Ellese. "I meant whether we could put one on Lifasa when we retake it. Maybe even extend the range beyond a single town."

[Anastasia]

"A world mythal? Impossible," Ellese says, "Except maybe to Mystra herself. Even making a city sized mythal is unspeakably difficult." She frowns and looks ahead, "...my voices don't like something in the city."

[Corwin]

"I was thinking nationwide, not global." Jaela shakes her head. "No sense in forcing it on everyone. I figure we've got a shot at it, but we'll just have to see when it's time." She shrugs, givinv Ellese a curious look before switching ber gaze over to Mirima. "Think it's dangerous to you, or want to get in quickly? We could check with the local officers. And you, Mirima? Anything feels off?"

[Anastasia]

"I don't know. Even if they're telling the truth, I don't know," Ellese admits, frowning, "I don't really want to advertise the condition I'm in, though."

[Corwin]

"Can you get more specific?" Jaela asks, deciding to get going again and seeing whether a greater proximity to the city limits would change anything in Ellese's perception.

[Anastasia]

The party heads along the paved road, coming to the gates and that arch. Ellese frowns, "The voices really don't like that arch. They're trying everything to get me to run away. They're...afraid of it?" she says the last in a tone of quiet wonder, "What?"

[Corwin]

"Maybe a protection from extraplanar meddling in one's mind is woven into the wardes upheld by the Mythal?" Jaela muses, trying for her best guess on Ellese's safety.

Okay with taking 10 on any relevant skills.

[Anastasia]

Jaela dimly recalls something when she studied this before. Balmuria's mythal keeps fiends out. Those that dare to come in are immolated in holy fires.

[Corwin]

What do I think is likeliesf outcome for Ellese and is there anything to boost her chances?

[Anastasia]

Jaela isn't sure. It's an unusual case, her magic is so poisoned and polluted that it's hard to say. The fact that she can cast devil magic makes it foggy, you honestly don't know how the mythal will interpret her.

[Corwin]

"I think this is a test of faith," Jaela says slowly. "Your life, your choice. The biggest differences from devils we have. I don't believe the Triune would set us up to fail, knowing my plans as I meditated in the temple. But the risk is real, so it is up to you as well it should be, Ellese."

[Anastasia]

"You know, both of you are being stupid," Mirima says, arms crossed as she walks along. "They're humans," she tosses her hair, "So they're only mostly savages. If you talk to them and explain the situation, we can handle this without gambling."

[Corwin]

Jaela laughs. "I offered that very thing before. I guess this gives us a majority~"

She leads their little group in search of a local guard, shaking her head at Mirima's casual dismissal of faith inamusement. And she calls the humans barbarians!
