Miasma (Moore, 86 days left)

[Nephrite]

"Thank you. I'll meet her in the cafeteria." Moore says with a nod to Prince Westwind. "I'll come get you when we're ready."

Off to the cafeteria!

[Anastasia]

You find Balyss there, eating breakfast quickly. It's a simple egg and chicken dish, being devoured in good speed. "Moore," she says, "How can I aid you?"

[Nephrite]

"Sorry to ask you on short notice." Moore says first. "I'm sure you're being worked hard over all this. I have a missive from on high to go to Smoke and find Sarem Dizal. I know I need to follow the Choking Path, but  do you have any further insight by any chance?"

[Anastasia]

"Danger awaits you there," Balyss says in a voice that is not quite her own, putting her fork down. "Breathe carefully."

[Nephrite]

"Hm, maybe I should invite one more person then." Moore taps his nose a few times. "Yeah, just in case. Thank you Balyss. Does your intuition tell you that we probably won't have too much trouble locating the place?"

[Anastasia]

"It doesn't say," Balyss speaks normally again, "I think you're on your own for that part."

[Nephrite]

"We'll manage." Moore says with a grin. "Thanks Balyss. If you need anything from me let me know, okay?"

He's off to find Finnegan!

[Anastasia]

Finnegan's found in his room, just coming out for the day. "You need me? I could use a fight," Finnegan says.

[Nephrite]

"I actually thought of you after our last trip. It's to Smoke." Moore explains. "I remember your amulet -- thanks for the idea, by the way -- prevents you from needing to breathe their air, so I figured you'd be a perfect candidate for some devil smashing. Uh, hopefully this time there won't be any Outer Sphere horrors there."

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, I'm in," Finnegan says, "It would be a good warm up for what's to come. Where and when?"

[Nephrite]

"I'm going to get one more person and then we'll be good to go, so let's say 15 minutes and we'll meet at the gate and take it to Smoke." Moore answers.

Intention is to grab Jetina also. I can play her so you don't have to.

[Anastasia]

You find Jetina in her room, deep in prayer. She doesn't rise when you enter, but does say, "Moore. Is it strange that I feel drawn to pray, even though I can remember naught but the recent past days?"

[Nephrite]

"Not at all." Moore answers. "It comes back to you in bursts sometimes. You have to focus on your faith to help center your soul."

[Anastasia]

"Raziel guide me..." Jetina murmurs, then stands up. "My legs are asleep now, anyway," she says, grimacing. "I need a break."

[Nephrite]

"I wanted to invite you to a devil extermination operation I've been tasked with. We could use some healing and devil-busting support." Moore explains. "It's to the plane of Smoke."
