The cycle of improvement

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. From what I can tell, he'll have been single minded about it. It means the path would have been as straight on as possible, and likely brutal... Bastian, see if there have been any reports of entire groups disappearing or dying wholesale. He'll have brutalized anyone who might have seen him, I think, and the wreckage of it might be telling."

"Sounds like his speed," Bastian agrees, "Though. He's a deity and that means he's smart. I'll look for feints in case he anticipated someone doing that."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Yes, but he's also been rebuffed, in our favor. I suspect he'll be watching us to either approach and negotiate or to try usurp it at the last moment. He'll be obscure.. But not too obscure. He wants it, too, after all."

[Anastasia]

"I'll look," Bastian agrees, getting up.

Give me a d100.

Soon enough?

'It's harder than it looks. Gathgorian's not the only one who may have wreaked havoc. It's not like the lower planes are peaceful and pleasant.' Bastian sends back to you.

Alyssa sends back, 'If you feel you're getting nowhere, then come back. I'm still looking into those resurrections.'

[Anastasia]

'I didn't say I was getting nowhere,' Bastian retorts in your mind.

[Iron Dragoon]

'I have full faith.'

Alyssa turns back to looking into the resurrections.

[Anastasia]

After a few moments, 'You act like I'm not about to say that I have it.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Just letting you get whatever suspense build up you want. I'll gasp in astonishment when appropriate. Just let me know.'

[Anastasia]

'Fine. I found it.'

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends a mental gasp of joy and astonishment, 'You're fantastic! I'm so glad Shaundakul sent you to me. You're one of the greatest friends I have.'

[Anastasia]

'Get everyone ready so we can do this,' Bastian sends back instead. 'Once your girlish happiness contains itself.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'I can gush all at once if you want. You'll have to be the sole recipient, though.'

Alyssa sends a message to the others to get ready and gather.

Since it might be relevant or minor boosts, did I accomplish any node goals?
