More Offensives (Afina and Jaela; 84 days left)

[Ebiris]

Get Dana and Adrian hauled out then gate ourselves back home.

[Anastasia]

Cool. Anything to add, dread Jaela?

[Corwin]

I'll grab the bracelet and we'll go, yes.

[Anastasia]

<Rei-chan> Sunshine_Ko rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=7 ]{7}

Done and done. Battered, dusty and victorious, the four of you return to Aurora intact and...

Ball's in your court.

[Ebiris]

"I don't think that was our best showing," Afina says, casting prestidigitation to clean all the dirt off, "But a win's a win. Three more sigils to go."

[Corwin]

"It's the first one that blew up," Jaela affirms, Mass Heal restoring Adrian and Dana. "Let's try for another sigil once we store this one away."

[Ebiris]

"We'll need a lead on Ettan, Silvber, or Harkin's location, and with Balyss unavailable and our current prisoners growing stale we might struggle to find anyone quickly," Afina points out.

[Corwin]

"How about you check with Mala and I'll reach out to Makaril?" Jaela proposes.

[Ebiris]

"Mala isn't talking," Afina shakes her head. "She's done something with her brain to prevent herself from giving up any information under mental compulsions. I've asked Vul'lath to prepare a mind probe spell tomorrow to see if that'll get anything out of her."

[Corwin]

"Lovely. You know what, let's see if Velasca has some lead. Maybe we'll get our second sigil yet today."

[Anastasia]

As you go, "Oh hi," Elena pops in, "Just a quick update. I overheard 27 tell Surraruthru he'll die if he goes out tomorrow, so plan accordingly if you were going to rely on him."

[Ebiris]

"Thanks for the warning, Elena," Afina says. He seems busy enough with his hoard and things anyway.

[Anastasia]

"Yes. Also say," Elena says, "He also wanted something like, 'Jaela's food that isn't Jaela's food.' That make any sense to you?"

[Corwin]

"Give him one of my favorites I'm not currently eating, whenever he asks for it," Jaela resolves that little issue. "I'm headed to see Velasca."

[Anastasia]

From there, you find Velasca in the quarters you have given her. She is sitting on a chair just big enough for her pit fiend bulk, watching the flames while swirling a glass of ice water in her hand. Her gaze is faraway, but she smoothly turns to the two of you when you enter. No comment, just expectation, waiting.
