Gossiping (Afina)

[Anastasia]

"Perhaps we can if a dragon explains the situation," Arrel says, thoughtfully. "Gold dragons are wise and seldom given to unreasonable actions that cannot be taken back."

[Ebiris]

"Well you just volunteered," Afina says, turning to Arrel. "Will you be alright with a trip to Mineral? There won't be many chances to stretch your wings."

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns, but then does smile to Arrel and Afina's conversation. "I was told he came to Mineral over some chromatic... politics, I think, so he may be the type who doesn't care about that sort of thing at all. Miss Afina, I'd be happy to go with Arrel, if you can provide the transport and protections."

[Anastasia]

"I did, didn't I?" Arrel agrees, "But you should come, Afina. Simply stay out of the lair when we find it."

[Ebiris]

"I'll come," Afina agrees, happy for a chance to spread her wings and experience more of the elemental planes, dragons aside. "Transport is easily handled, I think the three of us should be sufficient? Our main worry is less denizens of Mineral than it is Devil scrying assassins, but my recent change should reduce the effectiveness of such tactics."

[Anastasia]

Elena pops in at that, "Sage Vul'lath and friends can provide mind blanks as well. They've been pestering me to remind you of that," she says, before vanishing again.

[Ebiris]

"They're not infallible, but anything that forces the enemy to work for it a little harder is worth while," Afina reasons after Elena departs. "Lets make a stop by the library before we leave?" That's where Vul'lath usually hangs out.

[Anastasia]

Thus the group goes to the library to find Vul'lath. As you enter, people about and reading, "HARDER!" Dana's voice comes from not too far away, shout echoing about the entire library. It brings a complete, full stop from everyone reading. Pages stop mid turn, readers looking up in poleaxed confusion. Arrel stops and tilts his head to the side, "Wait, what?"

[Ebiris]

"Ignore it," Afina says resolutely. She got a tongue-lashing for being too interested in Dana's proclivities not long ago so she's not going to rise to any bait that gets thrown her way this time. Instead she flies towards the githyanki sage. "Vul'lath, the three of us are leaving Aurora on an expedition, can you assist us with mind blank spells?"

"Very well, but quickly," He glances in the direction of Dana's voice, "I must go chastise her. Again." Chanted words of power surround the party like thick wads of cotton and then fade away, giving the three protection. He speaks, "I close the third eye from the third gate and the seventh seal, shine on."

Mind blank, CL 22.

[Ebiris]

Afina gladly leaves Vul'lath to chastising the unruly princess while she beats a swift retreat towards the gates of Aurora. "Alright, Goldenmist on the border of Mineral and Positive?" she clarifies before conjuring a Gate to the designated spot, it's Water bound end flush against the very edge of Aurora's demiplane so that they can pass through it without getting wet. And pass through it she does!

Warmth. It's so steamy here, it's like a sauna. Mists that glitter like gemstones and gold fill the air. Yet it's easy to breathe, soothing your lungs with each breath. There's stone and wealth about, but more like islands in great oceans of glittering mist. Far ahead you see an island, shining bright enough to show against the misty horizon. A great cave of pure gold, glittering in the light.

[Ebiris]

"Know where we're going from here, Moore?" Afina asks, having a look around and basking in the Earthness of her surroundings. She idly wonders if she should do something to become part positive energy, but isn't that basically all life anyway? Negative energy is undead so it makes sense, and she doesn't want any negative energy in her. No, she'll leave the energy planes alone and stick with the elements.

Moore gestures ahead towards the island. "I'm pretty sure that's up. It certainly lives up to its name."
