Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

Kascha's DvR0, it would be the actual article here.

"What's going on?" Kascha asks in the meantime.

Speak swiftly.

Meanwhile Kaja stands in the wastes, looking about, as walls of flame in the distance pen him in. They don't advance, but they do block any easy exit.

Then for this one matter you may consider the transaction completed.

[Corwin]

This is Zaphkiel's means for countering Shar, Seira says, gesturing at the seed in Kaja's hands. She is active everywhere, including on Fire, and her interests lie in the destruction of Creation. Without a counter, Primus's Prophecy will come to pass. In light of that, I ask that you let Zaphkiel's plan proceed and ask of him a price that, while paling in comparison to this prize, would elevate Fire amidst the Inner Planes.

[Nephrite]

Kaja, we're working on it. Sorry you got nominated for this.

He'd hold his breath if he still needed to breathe...

[Corwin]

Incidentally, I imagine more than a few high-level, unique artifacts aligned with Fire had been lost before. Could I get a mention of a couple here, and if Celestia holds them all the better? Knowledges of like 135.

[Anastasia]

Just pulling a few at random and being fairly brief:

Baynard's Sword

A sword said to be alive due to an ember of ever living fire embedded into the hilt. Said to have been lost to archons that defeated an unholy paladin of Imix.

Shamar

A staff said to control flames, gather them around and grant them intelligence under the wielder. It is said to have been taken as a prize by Raziel in a long ago war.

Burn-Burn Tree

An entire living tree that produces fruits that enhance fire creatures. Said to have been taken by adventurers long ago, including a paladin of Tyr.

[Anastasia]

Also give me a Diplo check everyone involved. Waukeen and Kascha will take 10.

[Corwin]

Unbuffed avatar will take 10 for 75.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 136.

[Anastasia]

You have nothing that could match this prize.

[Nephrite]

Moore's eye twitches again.

I could ask Lathander or Queen Morwel. Moore says to Seira. Maybe Selune? I don't know who else might be able to get him to back off.

To Sylvie, I don't suppose you have any tricks to get around a planar lord of Fire trying to take a divine seed?

[Anastasia]

More united against him, this isn't enough. Call in others we can rely on.

[Corwin]

Match it as such? Certainly not, Baynard's Sword, Shamar and other lost treasures don't compare individually, yet several of them restored to you would greatly strengthen Fire and your own hold over it, Seira reasons.

[Nephrite]

Queen Morwel must know about these, Moore reasons, so...

Your Majesty. I come to you seeking a favor, knowing fully how indebted to you and your Court I will be for it.

[Anastasia]

I have stories about how bad today has been when you get on tonight, Neph.

What is it you ask then, Moore?

[Anastasia]

You stall. Seek you to muster an entire army against this inevitability?
