Endless rise above

[Nephrite]

"All right." Moore says. "I'd like to ask you and ORCHID to spend time going around here, perhaps talk to CRIMSON... although it isn't exactly much of a conversationalist. Just go around here and watch and see how everyone interacts. I'd like to eventually ask you all to stay here, but I don't want to force you to do so. You can decide once I bring everyone back." He says.

In the meantime, Moore doesn't reply to Adrian directly, but maybe he'll be surprised in the end!

Next step will be to grab Xandra, then let's have Xandra, myself, Sylvie and Cresiel head to Acheron. Jetina and Kaja can come too if they want, and, I guess since we're going into what could be potentially hostile territory, they ought to? Ehh, I'll leave it up to them to decide.

We will hit up the Blessing Stone and, assuming no interrupts (but I am assuming an interrupt), we will go to The Dead Maw on Acheron. If people suggest we get some spells up, we can do that too.

d100 real quick.

[Anastasia]

As you prepare for this?

Be aware that I have found word of efforts against Hope's Landing, Moore.

[Nephrite]

Goodness, I didn't realize I was quite that popular already. Do you have reason to believe they may strike at us here specifically and my followers? I admit, I didn't think anyone foolish enough to try and breach into Celestia at all, but times are interesting.

[Anastasia]

They seek to interfere with trade to Hope's Landing.

[Nephrite]

Interesting. Do you have any suggestions? The most obvious thing I can think of is to have some help to escort the traders until further notice, but if you have other thoughts I am open to them.

[Anastasia]

For now be aware of it, gather more information and move against it.

[Nephrite]

He may as well relay the information to the others, including Melia, and get feedback on how to proceed! Perhaps Melia herself has some leads?

[Anastasia]

'I'm working on that, Moore. I just heard some rumors about it and I'm tracking it down now.' Melia sends back at that.

[Nephrite]

'Noted. Do you expect anything imminent? It may be prudent for us to go anywhere for the next day or so.' Moore sends back.

[Anastasia]

'I hope to have something before then.'

[Nephrite]

Moore nods as he gathers everyone together.

"I think we can still make our trip to Acheron, I don't believe it won't take longer than maybe an hour or two." Moore says. "But if any of you have reason to believe we should hold off, I won't argue. Technically, there's nothing that this trip is necessary to do right this moment, so it may make the most sense to simply wait."

[Anastasia]

"How serious an attack do you think this is?" Xandra asks, "I do not foresee it being a small one. It may be wise to let Melia work and then decide."

Jetina hms, "Well, banditry of any stripe should be stopped swiftly," she admits, "That much is obvious as the light above."

"It's also indirect and it may be something your followers deal with, not you. You're deities now, you don't go running at every little thing. You have heroes to do that." Sylvie sits on thin air, arms crossed.

[Nephrite]

"If it's serious enough, the types of heroes who are my followers wouldn't be equipped to handle it." Moore says. "All right, let's just wait for now and see what happens."

We will wait - Moore's avatar will continue to read Erathaol's Bard Book.
