Silken touch

"Nothing now," Jessica says, nothing more immediately proposed.

[Ebiris]

"Then lets keep an eye on things - Latha, you keep our allies updated so they know what's coming?" Alicia asks. "And Jessica, even if we're not directly disrupting those buildups, pass along word to locals in their vicinity so they won't be caught off guard either."

[Anastasia]

Agreements to that and...

Any prep while you wait on events here?

[Ebiris]

Nope, still passively waiting and seeing.

[Anastasia]

d100 real quick.

[Ebiris]

[19:19] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100
[19:19] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 100 > [d100=100]

[Anastasia]

You actually cleared out the recent one and a new 100 result hasn't spawned, so reroll.

[Ebiris]

[19:45] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100
[19:45] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 37 > [d100=37]

Mystra's lucky day.

[Anastasia]

Alicia's work is interrupted by one of her bralani knights. He kneels, "I bring an urgent message. A devil has come forth and requested asylum in Sylica."

[Ebiris]

It happens now and then, though it's more Antenora's lookout. Some of them are even genuine.

"Rise and tell me about them," Alicia invites, currently sat by the window of one of Liberton's spires, turning her gaze from Sylica which she had been idly watching while answering prayers to focus on the knight messenger.

[Anastasia]

The servant rises, "It...he, I suppose. He is a gelugon," Is the answer, "He says his name is Ganlax. He offered the mace and noble seal of his commanding officer as proof of his sincerity."

[Ebiris]

Take 10 for 84 on planes for info on Galnax, divine insight used.

[Anastasia]

A minor gelugon who serves Baronet Talgarth, pit fiend of poor standing that has begun to rehabilitate his image and earned some favor for excellence in the Blood War.

As you recall, the scandal was that he was found to have a succubus lover. Not a thrall or slave, but a lover. How he avoided a steep demotion or execution isn't clear.

[Ebiris]

"He if he says so," Alicia agrees easily. "What brings him to Sylica then?"

[Anastasia]

"He seeks shelter from Baator's reprisals. He claims to have defected," Is the answer.
