You read further, eventually another interview catching your attention.

"I don't think I could pass myself off as an attacking devil for very long," Alicia says of Seira's thought for them pretending to be the old guard.

[Corwin]

"What an unpleasant world," Seira murmurs. "I really should do more there. But nevermind that, does there seem to be any significance to green hellfire? Is it similar conceptually to goldenfire, which is like fire except better?" Seira demonstrates, taking a moment to admire the flames. "Best fire, really." Shaking her head, she continues with, "It might also be like silver fire, which is really not fire at all but spellfire and ridiculously potent and versatile, at that. Or it could maybe just be a thematic choice like some wizards make? I don't suppose we have any idea, here?"

Seira makes a mental note to ensure they're immune before disease and not just poison, just in case.

"Then keep it simple," Elegy advises. "Don't over complicate the plan if you can't pull off a complex plan."

[Ebiris]

Can we make an arcana or religion check for the green hellfire?

[Anastasia]

Sure, K:A.

Green's an odd color for hellfire. It's more the color of Baatorian Greensteel, something mined primarily in Avernus. Still, it might be tied to necromancy, there's been reports of that. The powers of death and unlife, an unholy cast to those flames.

[Corwin]

"Simple seems best, thus far," Seira agrees, deciding to stay away from necromantic flames if she can help it. Instead, she reads on!

[Anastasia]

The rest of the reports a fairly simple. Notable is one from an Eligaas, completely unremarkable and who provides a bit of information about how his forces were couped, before he chose to flee Hell rather than rallying to Bel's side. He was formerly a general in Bel's armies, but seems to have chose to cut and run.

In other words, an entirely sanitized version of Eligaas's story is put there. Nothing after his unit was attacked.

[Corwin]

So no maybe-Zariel?

[Anastasia]

No mention of it, no.

[Corwin]

"Antenora's got a fan," Seira notes, putting the tome down. "All's pretty much as we expected. Just one thing. Elegy, what are your strengths and weaknesses in a fight?"

[Anastasia]

"I try not to," Elegy says, rather blandly. "I'm a fair hand with a pair of daggers and hitting the enemy where it counts. Pretty good at avoiding spells and breath weapons, too. Fireballs, cones of cold, none of it can touch me."
