On the prowl (Ithea)

[Merc]

"Well, the pancakes not so much, but yeah," Ithea says.

"Anything useful? Or one of those pesky 'hide from divinations' effect up?"


Can we assume I got enough for everyone just so everyone benefits from a Heroes' Feast effect? Or is it only if you specifically eat at the cafeteria?

[Anastasia]

I assume people eat to benefit from that before going out, it's generally handwave able barring unusual situations.

Balyss sits and finishes her meal before answering. Plate put aside, she says, "The 'loths are good at secrets, so of course it's shielded. But I found a few things out. It's not on Earth right now, I'm sure of that, but it's in the elemental planes. Most likely a quasi or para elemental plane, though I'm still winnowing them down. One final bit, it's one with lava and magma. Which helps lower our range greatly."

As Simmer perks up at that, starting to smile, Hanna interjects. "That still leaves us an entire plane to work with. That's simply not good enough."

"I know. We're going to need a consultation on this one once we narrow it down to a plane, but I have a plan," Balyss smiles, "So what planes could fit?"

[Anastasia]

Fire or any plane attached to Fire could. The likely suspects are the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Radiance, the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Ash, the Para-Elemental Plane of Magma and the Para-Elemental Plane of Smoke.

Logically, Smoke is the least likely due to it's connection to air. Solid things or even liquid things are less common there. Magma's the most likely, followed by Ash. Radiance is pure light, so while possible, it's another that's not likely. You can't fully rule out Fire, either, of course.

[Merc]

"Well, of the fire planes or those attached to it, Magma and Ash are the most likely. Fire itself is possible. Smoke and Radiance the least."

[Anastasia]

"I'd say we'd best assume Magma for now," Simmer pipes up, "Actual lava's rarer on Fire than you'd think. Less liquid rock and more ever burning flames. There's still plenty, but there's more on Magma."

[Merc]

"Regardless of which plane, we should prepare to deal with the effects. Outside of Simmer, the rest of us will need protection, and some backups in case the valeoloth has ways to dispel them."

[Anastasia]

"Probably does," Hanna concurs, "I can prepare energy immunity many times."

"So can I," Balyss says, "That should cover it."

[Merc]

"Good," Ithea says with a nod. "Well, it looks like we narrowed it down to a plane, probably anyway, and you said you had a plan to deal with the fact that its still a pretty vast plane to search, Balyss?"

[Anastasia]

"Simple. We're going to the Gates of the Moon," Balyss says, "It's high time we pay honor to Selune and consult the great seers there."

[Merc]

"...any appropriate gifts to take there?" Ithea asks.

[Anastasia]

"Something that means something to you. It doesn't have to be valuable in the material sense," Balyss says, "A toy from childhood, your favorite shirt, whatever you like. It simply has to have meaning to you, so that it's a meaningful sacrifice."

"Hmph." Hanna murmurs at that, but doesn't elaborate.

[Merc]

"Nothing I can think of that I'm willing to part with at the moment. I'll just take a nice bouquet of flowers and let you do the talking."

[Anastasia]

Balyss sighs a bit, "You're buying dinner the next time we're in Brightwater, then."

[Merc]

"Sure, sure," Ithea says easily enough.
