A world's support

[Nephrite]

"We are friends, but we can't stay long or we will invite something worse." Moore says with a smile. He flies over to the archon and lays a hand on him.

Two Cure Light Wounds, I'm mostly just trying to get him awake.

[Anastasia]

The magic is enough. The archon stirs, "Who...thank you," he breathes out. "The light around you..."

The air is thick and wet. You feel as if you are underwater.

[Nephrite]

"They're gone for now." Moore says. "Hopefully for a while. We have to go, I think you know why. Pray if She retaliates against you when we leave, and we will deal with it." He says, then he backs off.

"I'm sorry I can't do more for you right now. Be strong." He says.

He uses his Sending Stone to inform Barachiel that the Umberlant and forces were driven off, the archon is safe, and Umberlee is quite displeased.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 77.

[Anastasia]

You can hear the roar of a wave distantly, but it's getting louder by the moment. You notice that as you go for your sending stone.

[Nephrite]

"And after everything I did to keep your servant alive." Moore mutters. He quickly uses his stone to notify Barachiel the Umberlants are gone but Umberlee seems to be retaliating.

He could try and whisk them all somewhere but that's really beyond what he was sent here to do!

[Anastasia]

'Retreat or confront her at your discretion,' Barachiel replies to your sending.

[Nephrite]

Well confronting her really isn't an option, but neither is leaving these people to get wiped out. But this may just be her way of saying hello.

Moore grabs Kaja and with a word of magic they return to Hopes Landing!

[Anastasia]

Just the two of you, correct?

[Nephrite]

Yes. Moore's thinking that if they leave Umberlee will stop being awful. And if not, then Celestia will see to intervention if needed.

[Anastasia]

Thus you return.

"How was it?" Jetina asks immediately, "Everything alright?"

[Nephrite]

"We scared off an Umberlant and his boss got mad. It was fine, I just hope the people we left will be okay."

[Anastasia]

"Unusual for you to be sent there," Cresiel observes, "It speaks to how occupied our emergency forces are - and even then, that's usually a matter for mortals to resolve."

[Nephrite]

"Indeed." Moore confirms. "I can only hope this means the enemy is spread just as thin by this."
