A New Beginning

[Anastasia]

Not to be a spoilsport, but each one has a ten minute casting time. Are you going to just hang out in the throne room for an hourish?

[Yuthirin]

Absolutely.

[Anastasia]

After a few awkward moments, "Is this Tryll divining in the throne room," he asks, almost sounding resigned.

"Fuck yeah he is," Dana says, "HEY GUARDS, BRING US LIKE FOUR FUCKING CHAIRS! NO FIVE! GOOD ONES!"

Dana's Father closes his eyes and slowly exhales, sitting back deeply on his throne. "Was Aurora worth it, at least, for you?"

"Eh, yeah, sure," Dana replies, "Wasn't bad. Met some good people, took some great troll cock but too bad he died," That's an interesting shade of puce for Dana's Father to color, one has to note, "Fought a lot of great battles, died once but I got better, don't fucking recommend it but whatever-"

"Dana." Dana's Father interjects forcefully, shutting her up a moment. "Can't you at least be a properly holy champion if you're going to live this sort of vagabond life?"

"Nah," Dana shakes her head, "Angel piss is more holy than me. All the Heavens aren't bad, but in case you didn't notice, I'm fucking violent." A pause as servants scurry in with chairs, Dana sitting on one. "I'll serve fucking Tempus or something if I die, or become a spirit directly and do whatever I want. I like fighting, fucking and feasting too much to be a paladin or that type."

"Your wrong," Ebony finally speaks up, wings resting back behind her. She pushes back her hood, "If it's merely violence you need, one only need to look to the warlike protectors of good. If sexual pleasure is your hang up, merely swear yourself to Sharess or a similar deity. And so long as it is not wasteful or gluttony, even the holiest would not object to eating. Speak truly, Dana, you love yourself and your sins too much to change."

"You aren't wrong," Dana finally says after kicking back a bit, putting her feet up on a second chair. "Daddy wants me to be something I'm not. The Heavens want the same thing. Sure, both could probably make me like it more if I really gave into them, bent over and took it, but fuck that. I like who I am, damn it."

[Yuthirin]

"She's not a vagabond. Not really. She has a suite on Aurora whenever she wants it, and we all support each other.  Plus we kicked Bel's butt back to Avernus and saved the entire plane, so Lifasa loves us. She's got my support, and I work for the Queen! That's good enough for Good, in my opinion. I mean yeah, she swears a LOT probably really more than she should around a courre," there is a pointed look, "but she's still a good person. She'd make an absolutely terrible ruler though. Can't sit still long enough. Probably start some wars. Not good. Still. She's part of the crew. We're gonna do big things!"

[Anastasia]

Dana's Father just shakes his head at all of that, as silence comes and you finish the first divination.

Swing and a miss, you don't get anything from it. It just generically failed, worse luck.

[Yuthirin]

On to The next!

[Anastasia]

No good. This time you can tell something's blocking the magic directly.

[Yuthirin]

Such rudeness. Number 3?

[Anastasia]

1. Location of succubus.
2. Location of any of her thrills or minions.
3. Location of ultroloth.
4. Locations of cult activity in the local area
5. Locations of cult activity in the Bartown area.

For reference.

Blockarooed, perhaps to the surprise of no one. It is an ultroloth, after all.

[Yuthirin]

It was worth a try! Maybe the cultists will be more reckless!

[Anastasia]

To clarify, what cults are you referring to here?

[Yuthirin]

The one that Ebony & the king referred to. Sharran.

[Anastasia]

The answer you get is, 'Seek where river ends and sky begins.'

[Yuthirin]

How about in Bartown? Same answer?

[Anastasia]

Yes.
