[Anastasia]

As you do, you feel a strange resistance, a strange transference. A moment, an interception.

What is your purpose here, Alicia?

A presence, a dark presence like dying in poison. A soft voice, a voice that carries in your mind as much as is heard.

[Ebiris]

Taking 10 for 58 on planes/religion to know who this is.

[Anastasia]

The voice is the voice of the Adversary, the still relatively new Oinoloth.

[Ebiris]

She doesn't have any specific quarrel with the Adversary beyond its existence, so she won't borrow trouble if she can help it.

A thief of Shar's has stolen from Mystra and I. He will be corrected, and what was stolen recovered.

[Anastasia]

Syala steps forward as well, face calm but firm.

We have no issue with you here, do not change that.

The presence does not retreat, steady. Before you an image appears, of a man robed in black, features hidden. He seems ghostly, a mere projection that watches you.

The victors over Triel stand tall. Tell me what your aim is in regard to the Lord of the Flies.

[Ebiris]

There's no great strategic secrets to give away here.

He is irrelevant to the matter at  hand. If he can learn humility we will aid him back to the light one day. Else he will crumble with all of Hell in time.

[Anastasia]

Telling the truth? Need to know for DM end things.

[Ebiris]

Yes. Given 'progress' on Eblis and progress on Zariel Alicia has a bit more hope that something can be done for Triel one day, but if it can't she'll see him die with Hell. Optimistic and long term but it is what it is.

[Anastasia]

The images fades away and as it does?

The toll is paid. Good hunting ahead.

[Ebiris]

"Hopefully that won't be twisted to harm," Alicia says as she finally continues through the gate into Gehenna.

[Anastasia]

"We can hope," Latha agrees, as you stand in a shadow. You stand in darkness, a sinkhole seen in the distance, just like seen in the arcanaloth's memories. It is a shadowy, dead place. Nothing but darkness, nothing but the embrace of shadows.
