Emancipation

[Corwin]

An actual, in-person visit. We'll be having a family dinner! Donald's going to invite Emily, so it might be all of us!

Meanwhile, Seira asks those actually present, "Thoughts? I actually figured she had a divine seed, given Waukeen warned me before that Vlaakith had some divine traits."

[Anastasia]

"Really?" Kascha asks, "What traits does she have?"

Amaryl reads it again before, "I want to know if she's known or recently learned of it. It's extremely obscure and little known lore."

[Anastasia]

Who an I to deny my favorite nieces their aunt?

[Corwin]

"Specifically, immunity to antimagic, although I believe she has displayed a couple more on occasion," Seira responds to Kascha. "As for how she might've learned of it? No idea, but if she knew then Kascha's ascension makes it likely I have access."

[Anastasia]

"It doesn't make sense. Whatever could she have that would interest you enough to give her one of those, if you had one?" Amaryl asks, "What could be worth empowering a lich like her?"

[Corwin]

"Yemimah."

[Anastasia]

A pause at that, Amaryl breaking into a scowl.

"That would be," Kascha admits, "Do you think she could do it?"

[Corwin]

"Doubtful," Seira admits. "However, she might have relevant information and clearly knows I'm looking for it. Vlaakith might believe that I'd be willing to trade access to a seed for a chance at a rescue."

How lovely! Vayley will make all your favorite dishes!

[Anastasia]

Okay then, next move here?

[Corwin]

I'd like to stop by Mystra and handle a bit of loot resolution!

[Anastasia]

Sure, which part?

[Corwin]

To purify the Sorrowful Sword, you must have Mystra cast a holy spell which you absorb into the sword.

Also, I want to ask about the cursed elven gear. Specifically, if there are ways to tracing down curses to their origins to figure them out.

[Anastasia]

Sure, we'll cover both there.

For most, meeting Mystra is nigh impossible.

For a fellow deity, it is more a matter of diplomacy. Mystra sits on a throne of tomes, in a library that rises high above you, shelves from floor to ceiling. It is dimly lit, a library of shadows reaching towards an immensely tall ceiling. "Seira," she calls, "Welcome."

[Corwin]

"Thanks for hosting me," Seira responds, approaching. "I was hoping to ask for a small favor, as well as some esoteric magical advice."

[Anastasia]

"Your timing is good," Mystra says, "I need a small favor from Waukeen as well."
