Forgive me if I'm wrong, but was not Arkovnia also where His Grace dispatched a diplomatic corps to negotiate with Lady Meldicia, then acting under the influence of a pact with dark powers? There may be a connection between the Arcane Sons and the Coven of the Eldritch Star.

Nalick,

I so not recall if it was Arkovnia or Ravenhurst - one being adjacent to the other.
Either way, I would be willing to speak with Lady Meldicia, with others if need be, to take steps further than our current "non-aggression agreement" and perhaps secure an alliance from a former foe.

Part of the final negotiations were that the Meldicia family would gain control of Ravenhurst. The Barony we paid visit to through a portal, was either Fenrick or Arkovnia, and I believe I initially told someone that I would be going to Fenrick and being wrong in my prediction.

Donny,

Do not send for them. The way across the Rift is a bit perilous right now and well... if we need to go to the Highlands, having allies there that can be trusted outside the Watch will be far more valuable than you know when its time to go give a kickin'...

Trust me.

Just got back from the Gate's Rest, we found a ritual in the basement being controlled by the Arcane Sons. These points represent access points the the hordes of undead that Necrophitus has been storing under the world. They can be destroyed, or at least deactivated.

So, understanding this is probably a trap or some sort. I say lets proceed with destroying these locations, could be fun to call the bluff?
The question is how to get to all these locations.
Eh, Thinking like the Idle-Litch....

Give them the locations, so they think they are all traps and never investigate...
There could be some true and some false locations....
Or although confirmed in one place, they could all be a waist of time.

... Is this worth our time, or a waist of it... Thinking's fun, but only for the fun of it.

I say I'm honestly a bit antsy, and could go for a killing, opinions?

Moostrov,

Assuming we could get to anywhere, it would be acting under the assumption that not all of these places were activated at once...
My biggest fear is that they have all been activated and Orophin was lucky to be at the Gate's Rest when it happened.

And how would you propose we get to all of these places? Gates aren’t working, not since elemental magic was shifted and empowered last feast. The Weave is more complete and stable now, yes, but I have no more power to cross the rift instantly than you do. We must take this time to prepare for what is to come- protect the people we can and strike at Necrophitus hard. There is much planning to be done before we can defeat the Eidolich, and going in unprepared will certainly cause our end.

Aye. There is much we must relearn about the Weave now, about how everything is tied together anew. And even that cannot be completed until that final chaos anchor is placed successfully. We have one month to prepare. We must all be ready.

We did in fact place the final Chaos Anchor.

However, that doesn't really matter considering how much power he has already stored or used.
We will brace our ourselves for this coming showdown. I can only hope that the rest of Palmydia does not come to ruin while we do so.

Before quibbling over the temporary loss of sorcery of the green strand and Godly flight, perhaps consider our other options:

Choyopa and the Emerald Path
Akran Palazzo and the Gates of Passage
The Dread Lord
Faerie Gates
Chaos Portals

I am certain that we can find a way to handle these threats.

At the very last resort... perhaps the Rituals of the Legacy are still in effect.

We have options.

Discuss them.

Cara,

Unless I am mistaken, you used primarily Telemancy, not Green Sorcery, in the moderation of Fellika Malkavon's Void Gate. Could we try applying that "doing it live" experience to improvise a travel solution for the new Weave?

Leliana- I apologize, I was under the impression that the town was unable to reach the final chaos anchor location successfully and was intending to place it in the near future. That was my misunderstanding, and I apologize for the mistake.

Mantel- I used a basic knowledge of Telemancy in order to reinforce the gate to prevent it from deteriorating, but the fundamental entergy was from manipulating green strands. I’m not sure we can recreate that knowledge directly- that would require power as strong as the Gates of Passage and I’m not sure even the Gnomes could build them within the time and with the materials allotted. That is magi-technology beyond what I think we are currently capable of. Hopefully that will change as we practice and learn, and apply new techniques, but I don’t anticipate us being able to do that before April.

Mantel- those are good alternatives to consider, but I don’t know how quickly we will be able to obtain/master them. They may get us to one location, but with so many circles we would need to prioritize unemotionally the most important to visit first. We already know that Corsair is relocating the town in April, we should take this time to prepare for that . We will be no help to our families, Travance, Kormyre, Palmydia, or Arawyn himself if we are dead.

Cara,
We only just placed it so it's not really wrong, I just forgot to update everyone.

Mantel,
The Ritual we used to Portal into where Cennius was defending himself, the portals he used, took us two weeks to prepare and activate. The Ritual was not a simple sheet, it was a tome.

Felika's Void gate, having experienced it first hand after, will literally place anyone in the void if not met with the right time. It would take someone merely seconds to die if was done wrong.

I agree, that in a perfect scenario we would be able to make it to these places and perhaps someone can find a way to. However I will hold my breath because we don't even know if the others have been activated yet, or when they will, or if we could even find the buildings they were in. While important, I must agree with Cara that we cannot divert full attention to these ritual portals, perhaps if some are willing to look into it sure, but we must prepare ourselves and our town to face the coming trials.

You will never hear me suggesting we divert full attention to any one Aspect of Threat, and I do wish that assumption would cease being the default.

Thank you for the clarifications on Cennius' Chaos Portals, and Fellika's. There are other kinds of chaos portals, however; Abyssal, for example. I've also been through at least one other kind.

I think this entire situation is wholesale a trap; Necrophitus will use it as a bargaining chip at his more dire moment. The moment we go to strike him down, he will reveal some sort of Dead Man Ritual; if we kill him, these pools of evil will be unleashed. We need to be prepared to go directly into war with them.

At the very least, we should beckon our allies with this information and prepare them for the impending threat.

Travancian forces are quick learners. We'll come to handle these new changes as we prepare ourselves against Necrofitus. And I highly doubt Travance's attention will turn from this abomination any time soon. I'm currently working with all other Blood Spirit heroes in an attempt to collect our bearings after this supposed universal change, that we may work together more efficiently as a unit. Our goal is the preservation of Kormyre, and Arawyn as a whole above all else. I believe that ALL of Travance should follow suit. Now is the time to set aside differences, be they national, racial, cultural, spiritual, or otherwise. All of us, united as one, have the potential of eliminating this threat for good. But we need to do it together.
And Mantel, Cara, Leliana?
I'll stand by each of you, and all others as you work hard for our efforts. The understandings magic are not my strong suit, but what I do understand is that it's going to be needed, you and three are some of the best to handle it. Nothing will stop you from success through your hard work. I will see to that personally.

Given the vision of Necrophitus I’m sure we all just shared, all the rituals have opened at once. Now is the time to make our choices. All of those we love are at risk. We must all band together in strength and unity, not scatter in fear.
