Depends on where she goes looking! Lots of people are still sufficiently intimidated by her they're not going to bring it up to her - she's the knight commander! - but her general approach to garnering fame is such that people will happily respond to her asking. If she's offering, then how does she feel about:

- Blessing this helmet, which someone swears just miraculously saved his life from a demon by turning on his head at exactly the right moment and he would really like to ensure keeps doing that please?

- Resolve a dispute between two soldiers about which of them was actually the one to bring down this schir they fought earlier (nobody else saw the fight and neither of them has any proof that the schir existed much less was killed by them but this doesn't appear to prevent either from assuming that obviously she either saw it happen or can figure out who is lying or something)?

- Meet and greet with a bunch of people who all want to hear from her (and possibly also put off whatever task they'd normally be assigned next that obviously is less important than the knight commander)?

Alternatively, the Baroness is drawing up a list of people for potential commendations, and she'd been planning to bring it to Kybele once it was done but if she'd like to get involved sooner or add anyone she saw herself her input would be very welcome.

She will improvise a blessing for the helmet, holding it up to the nearest decent beam of light and enjoining it to keep up the good work. The soldiers will just have to kill another schir together under less chaotic conditions sometime, eh? - and she will start doing some of the meet and greets and then let the Baroness draw her away, here's some things she saw -

"Why does it have to be bugs? - Don't answer that, I know bug demons Deskari's whole thing, I just really don't like it!"

"Believe me, I'm not any happier than you are. That's why I'm asking for details - I know about Derakni, and I know about the locust swarms that cultists like to call up, but I've never heard of anyone having to deal with... whatever these are, and now we've lost almost two entire scouting patrols to it. What can you tell us about them?"

"They're called Vescavors, supposedly. They resist most spells, about as much as a Babau, except most of them don't work even if you land them. They're not immune to weapons, but they might as well be, you can go at a swarm of them for hours with a sword and still not get anywhere. And they'll eat through anything short of adamantine if you let them. According to the records of the first crusade, working your way through them over time was a hopeless endeavor because the queen could always replenish more of them, while going after the queen was a task best reserved for well-equipped teams of veteran adventurers. But they're supposed to be sessile! I've never heard of a swarm of them coming this far from the rifts, and I'm pretty sure I would have."

"Do we think these are far from their queen, or doing without one, or that there's an oddly placed queen?"

"I'm not certain - they're not a very well understood species - but I would guess that without a queen in the area they wouldn't be swarming like this. Maybe not in the immediate area, but if it could exert control over more than a few miles I'd be surprised, and you'd see vescavors in more places. Any fine grained control beyond swarming would be less than that."

"And if they were almost anywhere else, it would be one thing to just go around, but here we'd need at least half a week of detouring or lose half our baggage. Definitely not a coincidence, then, I hate dealing with Deskari cultists who think they're clever."

There's a brief flash of something like disgust on Nurah's face, but it's gone before Kybele can get a good read on it. It seems her professionalism is stronger than whatever opinions she has about deskari cultists.

"I don't suppose you have something for insects? I don't think we can afford the time to go around, not when they'll be spending the delay to fill up our new route with different hazards, but otherwise if most spells and weapons don't work I think our best strategy is to find a team to go after the queen."

"I can do my paper netting thing but it's going to require active maintenance in extended combat with a lot of chewy bugs. Do the queens have any useful vulnerabilities?"

"Not for the queen. They're not weak to cold iron, though it's the kind where you don't need it instead of the kind where it doesn't work, and they can fly and attack at a range so it's not as simple as just staying out of reach."

"The swarms should though. Wide area attacks tend to work well on those, and they don't have the weight to really push against a strong wind. Naybe not fireball if they're more resistant like demons than like locusts, but if you can hit enough of them the individuals won't be too tough. The hardest part will be finding them without getting whoever is looking killed. Nevy, do you think you could-"

"It's not really my specialty, but if there's enough of a distraction to draw out some of the swarms I could go looking for the queen. It'd be hopeless if it's still swarming with them, though, and I'd have a tough time actually killing it without backup. And I couldn't take more than a small group with once I found her."

"Well, if there's a prospect of finding the queen I'm happy to go in with a small group to stab her."
