"I am...a lot better now than I was twenty minutes ago. I, uh, am looking forward to having time to just stop and not have to figure out what to do in the next five minutes."

Permalink

"I do not believe there are any ongoing emergencies in Ustalav that were not emergencies an hour ago. The dragon - blue, Great Wyrm by my estimation - flew west-northwest away from the main line of conflict, and I have not seen it since."

Permalink

"Kais and I have used most of our day's spells," says de Caserta. "If a crisis came up I couldn't do much."

Permalink

"My plan right now is for all of us to go talk to Felandriel Morgethai and hope that she lets us into a demiplane that's secure enough for our purposes." 

Permalink

"Sounds like a good plan to me."

Permalink

"As you say, Miss Whitman."

Lucy turns into a giant crab again, helps them climb on, and then ZOOMS off towards Almas. 

Permalink

ZOOOM!

There are more RANDOM INTERESTING OBJECTS on the way! Like that secret unholy fortress, or that secret unholy monastery, or that army of the undead that someone apparently kept in reserve, or that battle site, or those extremely cursed mountains, or hey alllll the way over there there's a planar distortion, or that island that is just SUPER messed up, and there's devils down there -

...Okay, Lucy will slow down SLIGHTLY and glow at the undead army, but the rest of them she just mentally bookmarks for later. 

Permalink

Fair enough!

A lantern archon teleports next to her at one point but she's going REAL fast and this method of getting in touch with her will probably not work.

Permalink

...It does sort of work, in the sense that she notices the lantern archon and slows down and then turns around and goes back?

Permalink

"Hello!" The lantern archon bounces. "Are you Lucy Whitman?"

Permalink

(Dawnbringer Kais pulls out a wand and Detects Evil, then says "nonevil.")

Permalink

(And de Caserta detects magic.)

"Lesser Planar Ally," she murmurs.

Permalink

"Yes, that's me!" 

Permalink

"I am a lantern archon summoned by -" very carefully "- First Speaker Onishi Kazujun of Tianjing, a Lawful Good cleric of Shelyn, goddess of beauty and music and love! There are very bad problems with Abyssal monsters and bad people in their country and they want you to come visit to bring willing good people back to life so these people can help fix the problems!"

Permalink

She thinks about this. 

To her party: "I'm inclined to say I'll put it on my agenda but I really need to replace the ring of delayed doom first." 

Permalink

Pause. "Indeed."

"Tianjing is on another continent, Miss Whitman. Your fame is now reaching the four corners of the world."

Permalink

De Caserta and Kais are inclined to agree with 'not this particular instant!'

Permalink

“I’ll come when I can, but Hell ate my last Ring of Delayed Doom and I need another one before they decide to have another go. Onishi Kazujun and their associates should prepare a lot of Sendings when I do show up, or before if I can give a day’s warning, because my kind of resurrection doesn’t have consent built in so I have to manually check.”

Permalink

"I understand!" Lantern bob! "Thank you! Hell is very bad! Should I tell them what you told me?"

Permalink

“Maybe just say I have errands instead of specifically mentioning that I am currently delayed-doom-deprived." 

Permalink

"So the message is that Lucy Whitman says she'll come when she can, but she has errands, and Onishi Kazujun and their associates should prepare a lot of Sendings when she does show up or before because hser kind of resurrection doesn't have consent built in so she needs to manually check?"

Permalink

"Yeah, that." 

Permalink

"I understand!" And the lantern archon will poof off back to Almost Certainly Tianjing.
