A bountiful return

[Anastasia]

Mystra takes the notes and skims through them, flipping through them like a book. Yet after a mere handful of moments, "I can't read them," she says, expression darkening, "There's no doubt now that this is the work of 21 or a similar thing. No magic of the Weave could stop me from reading this."

[Corwin]

Her interest peaking, Seira offers, "How about I tell you my conclusions? This appeared like an incomplete thesis at first, but as I tried to discern its purpose by looking at these three sections, a bigger picture began to emerge...."

How about I walk her through it, telling her what I see? Maybe Mystra can K:A and Spellcraft on that alone, and figure out more!

[Anastasia]

Mystra doesn't meaningfully use K:A or Spellcraft, but the point is taken. Make checks of your own for it, though.

[Corwin]

19:21 <Lucille> roll 1d20+54+15+20+16 K:A
19:21 <Penuche> Lucille invokes Penuche's magic: < 119 > [d20=14]
19:21 <Lucille> roll 1d20+54+15+20+16 Spellcraft
19:21 <Penuche> Lucille invokes Penuche's magic: < 110 > [d20=5]

[Anastasia]

You explain things to Mystra, who listens. She makes some useful observations as well as...

"Parts of it aren't part of the Weave," she finally says, "It's well done, but it's woven together that you need those alien parts to understand the whole." A scroll appears in your hands, "This will help, but the parts that are not of the Weave are beyond me to easily understand."

[Corwin]

"Thanks!" Seira chirps. "Oh hey, about Oraga... did you send her off on long quest?" She rubs the back of her head, laughing awkwardly. "I just realized that I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait for her or what."

[Anastasia]

"Oraga will be some time," Mystra says, "Don't wait for her on my account. Besides," Mystra faintly smiles, "Sharess and I have a party to drop into."

[Corwin]

"Right! Then just one last question, if you don't mind? Mystra, Lixer totally cheated with the avatar creation times, didn't he? I was wondering whether you could give myself and Amaryl a hint about how to do that, too!"

[Anastasia]

"That question is one I can answer," Mystra admits, looking up as a great cascade of motes of light rise from the city, purple and silver cascading into the sky in a seemingly endless rain. "Blood relations are a powerful force, one even the Incarnations acknowledged. Long ago the idea of deific children was discussed. The Incarnations made certain concessions to allow parents to aid their children that were also divine."

[Corwin]

"So if my daughters ascend, we could help them," Seira muses. "But until then, we're out of luck? We can't ask Waukeen or the Seldarine for a favor, since there are no ties of blood?"

[Anastasia]

A shake of Mystra's head, "I'm afraid not," she says, "Deities are meant to work on a longer time scale. Even at the beginning, a year is meant to be nothing to them. To those rising fast, those  still mortal in mind, it can seem forever."

[Corwin]

Seira shrugs. "It's mostly because things have started moving again at a fast pace, and who knows how long we really have?"

[Anastasia]

A nod to that and...

Anything else to add here?

[Corwin]

I'm good! I'll just thank Mystra again for everything, and seek out Lathander unless someone is getting back to me (like Sanzha re: dragon trio or Zaaman Rul re: Akil plots or Syala re: visiting).

[Anastasia]

As you go?

Oh Seira, you wanted to talk to me? We're having a beach party on Sylica, is this a good time for you?
