Two wizards and two soldiers appear in the desert, a few feet away from a tired slave caravan.
They nod at each other and disappear again.

As far as I understand it Abadar is - friendly to many goals we have but not interested in being more than a resource in the locally conventional fashion.
That's my impression too, he didn't sound like he was going to drop everything and start trying to apply the force of multiversal exploitability to some worthwhile problem he just hasn't had the resources for until now. I haven't met him but I'm tempted to compare him to a narrow Maia and I don't know what if anything would cause him to make an exception to his habits. The deities may vary, some of them were once incarnates of various sorts. Belmarniss is sleeping but it's worth asking her when she's up.
Definitely. I'm also sort of curious if all the evil gods are as intractable as Melkor but on the other hand am very reluctant to extend any of them any benefit of the doubt ever.
Now we know what happens if you do that, yep. But they may have different instructive examples here - Ainur in general are the sort of things where you can expect that if they're a way they will stay that way, gods here might not be fundamentally like that.
Yes, I think it's a particular privilege of his, I'm not sure what exactly he expects to happen in a month or two though.
Do you have a prediction for how long we have Cam here?
I think they'll send to Endorë rather than to the summoner planet and I think someone on Endorë will think of conjuring mail from us.
That's good. He'll still want to fit a minimum viable project into five days just in case but he'll relax a lot when he realizes he has longer. If he gives you his list of people to resurrect and tells you where he was on it, will you be able to guess how inconvenienced they'd be by his absence for a more extended period?
I can take a look. The main thing would just be whether he stopped in the middle of a family or not.
He arrived with a chip in hand he said belonged to someone called Iverindo. It was very alarming when he showed up holding it, I actually still have it in my pocket now.
There's several Iverindos so I can't guess just off that but if he can give me the surrounding names I can guess from there.
His confidence in how long he has to work is something he'd want to know sooner than later, though perhaps just walk up to him and wait rather than running in yelling.
"Yours. I predict they'll send to Endorë, not to your summoner, and I expect Endorë will think to summon someone to check where we are and before they try to get you dismissed. You could check this by pulling the flight log off the lightleaper, I'm less sure of the Valinor half of that than the Endorë half."
“There’s kind of an astonishing amount to think about all suddenly. Who were you in the middle of reembodying, I was trying to sort out if he’d have family and accordingly resent a delay.”
"I don't think he has kids. I guess you might want to conjure to check.
Under more normal circumstances I'd say just stay here for as long as you're needed, the Elves can wait, but under the circumstances I don't think you or I should decide that, probably. I think I'd write Ingwe explaining why it'd be valuable for you to stay, but letting him decide to call you back if he wants. But I don't have a good sense of how bad things are here - Khemet said there were multiple evil gods -"
