in principle I think you should be able to guess the entire premise from the title

Cool. More bombardment from space for them, then, before the planet turns too far away.

Felandriel Morgethai leaves after about three minutes, but she leaves Gallipsiwhoop, and says 'she'll take your message for you!" 

Permalink

"Thank you, Gallipsiwhoop."

What's in the mansion?

Permalink

Honestly three minutes is very generous of Morgethai. She ...didn't even ask about payment. 

 

 

Carissa was hoping that meeting Good people rather than Good outsiders would be less confusing but it - wasn't. Maybe when she recovers from the terror inspired by realizing Cam had been secretly contacting her enemies, and can look back at the conversation, but she's not sure it'll make any more sense then.

 


Eventually she finishes the letter for Temos, and hands it to Gallipsiwhoop, who glides into the Magnificent Mansion to presumably Plane Shift. (You aren't supposed to be able to cast spells through your familiar when they're in a demiplane on the Moon and you're back on Golarion doing whatever you normally do, but most ninth circle wizards can do at least three impossible things before breakfast.)

 

 

The mansion wouldn't be out of place in (Cam's) Hell; it's very ornate, quite tasteful, with dozens of uniformed Unseen Servants littered about offering plates of snacks. Carissa takes some. 

"Well. I guess this is a kind of convenient sort of mutually assured destruction, as they go."

"Is it?" He tries a snack.

"- does it not seem so to you? If I stop working on the Worldwound, Cheliax murders me, if you stop working on the Worldwound, Cheliax Wishnaps you? I am aware that they're not doing it as a favor to me but I'm really quite grateful."

"Hm, I guess it's better than if it were a more distasteful project but it does have the interesting consequence that we absolutely mustn't succeed, at least not before making alternate arrangements."

Permalink

"I was thinking of it as a five-year project anyway, and by then maybe I'll be decided about some other things, or identify one person somewhere in the world who is interested in being my ally, or be powerful enough to protect myself." There are little ice cream dumplings on this platter of appetizers. How charming.

Cam tries one but doesn't care for the flavor and makes himself a chocolate version. "I guess it might take that long if you're that prickly about alliances."

"Well. Razmir is an option, but will want us to believe he's a god, and he's not, and I bet when I die and go to Hell I'll get in trouble for having asserted he was. Morgethai is - not interested, is the sense I got? Lastwall's - we'll see. But I don't trust them at all. The rest of those people I mostly don't know anything about but I should assume they'll enslave us on sight, or are useless."

"I could write him asking if the divinity assertion is nonnegotiable."

Permalink

"After the Church of Abadar's approved our language for opening negotiations with Lawful powers hostile to us, sure."

Permalink

"I'll put it on the to-do list." He does.

Permalink

"If you want to propose improvements to the world you can drop from here I'm happy to entertain them, though obviously I'll assume you're also just trying to get more abusable permissions."

"My aim from this distance is pretty bad. Not totally unnavigable, I could hit a decent sized city or a comparably visible landmark, but still pretty bad. This would allow me to rain care packages on selected vicinities but not actually much more than that."

Permalink

"What would you propose to put in a care package?"

Permalink

"Food for anyone having a famine? Rain for anyone having a drought, I could do that."

Permalink

"I don't know who is having a famine or a drought but maybe Sevandivasen will."

Permalink

Peanut gallery, who's having a drought or a famine on this side of the planet?

Permalink

Bachuan is having a really bad time. Classic mistake: they tried Communism.

Permalink

"Bachuan! They tried Communism! Don't do that, it doesn't work. I should maybe mention this in the local language on the care packages so they don't keep needing a patch too often."

" - I am confused about how you are learning things you didn't know five minutes ago and could not reasonably have read in a book," says Carissa.

Permalink

"I sent some letters without telling you."

Permalink

"You told me that earlier and, knowing that, I remain confused."

Permalink

"I think you have all the information for this one, will you actually take it as a sign of goodwill or whatever if I save you the work?"
