Dear all,

As you all know we are planning to investigate Vanity's plans and machinations this Starsday. We've managed to gather a few leads and I want to let you know about them as well as some ways in which you can prepare yourselves. Before I do so I need to make it clear that one of the dangers that Starsday presents to us is that we could allow information to fall into the wrong hands. Therefore I must ask that you endeavour to keep all of this as secret as possible.

On Starsday, there will be a sermon at Oleth's Folly sometime in the mid-afternoon. I believe that Charlotte Oleth will be speaking there, and it will be an opportunity to find out a little more about her oratory skills which are so renowned. Many of the people in Vanity's lands are talking about it with excitement, and have been told to spread the word. I have an exceptionally bad feeling about all of this, but it is the best lead we have. As such finding information on and attending this sermon is our main objective.

There are also several other things I know, including that Avoul (the last remaining Lord of House Bamael) is planning a revenge attack against Vanity and her forces. He has reportedly been hiring mercenary helds, thugs and any sort of criminal he can get hold of to bolster his ranks. There have been some attacks against the local people here in Vanity's lands, but they do not seem to be altogether coordinated.

Thankfully a lot of the people who were freed from Vanity's compulsion and insanity have come and taken refuge here at the Cradle. Whilst I say at they are of course not all within the Cradle itself...but I seem to have inadvertently gathered several hundred people under the Cradle's ritual shelter. It wasn't entirely my intention, but I'm glad to know that they're safe (though I might need some help in making sure that they're looked after, I've never really...well, I wouldn't know where to start with what they need).

Further to the above, our Lord and Arvalath have given me some advice on the things that we need to prepare ourselves for. First there is the possibility of ambushes and traps - I believe Matthew is coming with us and is pretty good at spotting things, as is Francis, so hopefully between the two of them we should be safe. Secondly as I have already mentioned there is the danger of letting information get into the wrong hands - Obviously we will need to be very careful. If anyone does have a Rite of the Blinkered Eye up their sleeve then now would be a good time to say. I also had a vision of a small piece of marble, my glowing hand and everything going slightly wrong...Harrison, do you know any of those very powerful endurance spells? Our Lord also said to be careful of judging things too quickly and not seeing what is truly there.

The latter ties neatly into things that we need to ensure we have. Much is already available to us - different ways to dismiss, multiple ways to scry (between Francis, Matthew and Lithmore's legacy of half a dozen Greater Communication scrolls I think we're pretty well prepared for this). We also need to be able to cure insanity as a must, and ideally the more of us that can resist going insane the better. I am going to scribe teaching scriptures of the Cure Insanity miracle on Starsday morning - if you are able to use them then let me know and I will attempt to make multiple charges so that as many of us can do it as possible.*

I believe this is everything; if anyone else has a good eye for scrying and knowing what we'll need to prepare ourselves, go ahead and have a think about it too.

We should have a second monster booking on this week so we are all set with plenty of crew. If you are below threshold - which most of us are - please don't be scared, Huw knows and is not going to smash through our tiny points front line with obscene stats. Much. smile.gif

Nah, its major healing I think and I'm Dismissal / Warding. But a bonkers Cloud isn't exactly the most threatening thing going....

I will be there of course to help how I can,

I don't know the prayer but will make myself a scripture if the church can spare any funds?

In peace

I also think you're greatly overestimating my ability to converse with our lord, m'dear... I can't speak for Mathew...

On the other hand- if we think peoples wills are going to be tested, I've got just the thing to help strengthen against that - presuming your still holding onto the mortal form he's given us... Those of you unable to drink potions need to come up with something else...

best wishes

Francis
