Stabilize it is (though it doesn't work on everything, like, a poison that affects Endurance can still super kill you even if someone's standing over you casting every six seconds). He is filling out the hour of prayer by attempting to sort of introduce Iomedae to Seldan even though Iomedae is not going to respond to this in any way. Also he's assuming he should get non-Iomedaeans for the scrolls and castings he needs and he'll probably go to Abadarans about it, but he plans to stop by the church of Iomedae in Westcrown, assuming there is one now, to give a report about All This Nonsense, so that is where any nudges should accumulate if he should do something nondefault. Amen.

Anything happen overnight? How are they arranging to meet Leareth for healing and an EE and a prophecy, and then how are they getting back to Haven to give everyone a nap?

"Overnight" was, like, two and a half candlemarks (can Blai also nap later with the Nap Stack spell?) but Seldan has gathered some reports! 

They're in contact with Waymeet, and Haven indirectly; Leareth sent in someone un-Gifted with one of the messenger-bird mage-constructs to ride in from five miles out rather than scare people with a Gate directly there, and then the Heralds in Waymeet eventually agreed to Leareth bringing in a couple of mages who can rotate comms-spell duty.

Jisa read Brightstar's mind and determined that, while he did have time to go and sabotage Leareth's immortality backup hard enough that he would have died permanently if they'd managed to kill him on the battlefield, he didn't tell anyone else how to find it and even if Iftel wanted to send another attack, without Brightstar they have no way to locate Leareth. It's not impossible Vkandis has enough forces still in Iftel to send a bunch of them north at semi-random anyway, but Leareth has dozens of bases across hundreds of miles, not to mentions underground records rooms scattered around the rest of the continent, he should be able to stay ahead of them for the week or so that Jisa think it would take him to repair the damage.

(As an aside, Jisa guessed that the girl in Blai's vision was the sister Brightstar apparently has, whose name is Featherfire and who lives in Highjorune, formerly a small kingdom that existed even in Seldan's time, apparently annexed by Valdemar in the last decade. This has got to be a really unpredecented rate of annexations, Valdemar also expanded north to Waymeet and west all the way to Lake Evendim in the last decade, doubling their effective population in the process.) 

Nayoki wants to transport them to Leareth in two hops just in case the Star-Eyed Goddess can still work through Brightstar somehow, even though the earlier Minor Prophecy implies She probably can't. Arrangements for that are ready when Blai is. 

After that, they can get a Gate back south from Leareth's people, probably directly to Waymeet, and get another Gate from there to Haven. Poor weather-mages, lots of work to do. (Seldan isn't actually feeling apologetic.) 

There are apparently also some surviving injured and set-commanded gryphons - ones that fell out of the sky outside of Blai's channel radius before - as well as some injured kyree who were dug out of the rubble, now transported to Waymeet. (Plus some miscellaneous injuries related to, of all things, several bar fights that apparently broke out amongst all the troops who were suddenly left at loose ends in Waymeet once the Heralds sent the order to stand down the war preparations.) They can probably all be fit into a channel radius, if Blai would like Seldan to send word ahead for them to arrange that. 

Vanyel is probably coming back to Haven with them but Jisa will stay up north with Brightstar. She thinks that under no conditions should they bring Brightstar back within the Web. 

Blai will be able to nap in the Nap Stack, yes. His sleep schedule will be all over the place but it kind of is already.

Blai would very much like to heal the surviving kyree and let them know that there are resurrections to be had once they can get clerics from Golarion. He is not quite so enthusiastic about the gryphons but if it's judged safe and they'll fit in the same radius he'll do it.

They'll still be set-commanded - this is confirmed, some of them were in the thirty-foot channel radius on the scene and were healed but not un-set-commanded - so it's not particularly a security risk. Ethically speaking, Seldan's feeling is that it's not like it's really their fault they were born in a country cut off from the rest of the world by a giant magical barrier and ruled by a god that sucks. ...They do take up more space than humans, though. He'll request that they be last in the priority order if there's not enough room to cram everyone in. 

- the person he Mindspoke about a Gate is asking if Blai needs breakfast before they go? 

It's not anyone's fault that they were born in a country ruled by a god that sucks! It just affects how useful they are to direct resources towards on a spectrum from "great investment" through "active resource sink".

Yes now that Seldan mentions it Blai would benefit from breakfast. Do Companions... eat... does Seldan need breakfast.

Companions eat! Seldan can manage until they get to Haven if it's more inconvenient to feed a horse here, though. Honestly, the thing bothering Seldan more is that apparently Companions get itchy if they do a lot of exertion somewhere hot and end up sweating and then are not brushed afterward. This is absolutely not urgent but it would sure be nice if there ends up being time later today when Blai has nothing more urgent to do than go over him with a curry-comb. 

Someone will bring breakfast for Blai - eggs and toast and stewed beans - and a bucket of oats for Seldan, if he can eat that? 

It'll do. 

Blai can probably Prestidigitate a comb though it might suck because of being Prestidigitated. If that would be better than nothing he can work on it while he eats.

(BEST Herald!!!) 

It's probably worse than a real comb designed for horses but Seldan doesn't actually have that baseline of comparison, having been a Companion for less than a full day and night at this point, and he does think it's better than nothing. 

Once they're done eating they can go through a couple of Gates to get to Leareth. 

(If Blai ends up worrying - on the level of things more like "what if Iomedae hates Companions" than "what if there are more gryphons", some worrying is in fact productive - then Seldan will throw mental chess at him, but they're not going to be waiting that long between the two Gates.) 

Blai is a little worried about more gryphons and also about whether Iomedae is going to have to try to do diplomacy with all these local gods while broke. He's not sure if it affects theopolitics that She's out of intervention budget but it would be sort of weird if it didn't affect it at all. Maybe he should pray to some of Her allies. He is not really sure who else is relevant, Iomedae has the excellent property of being relevant at all times because all things should be better than they currently are and that's Her thing, but like what is Erastil going to even care about, here. ...Shelyn please take care of Yfandes's body so that we can get her resurrected for Vanyel. That seems like a suitable Shelyn prayer. Abadar there is going to be interplanetary trade please help everything settle out here appropriately for that to go off without a hitch. Sarenrae, there is some room for some gods to improve as people, if that's Your thing. Amen.

(That seems like productive degree of thinking about potential future challenges rather than, uh, whatever you call the thing Blai's brain is sometimes doing at other times! Seldan does not try to interrupt with chess.) 

...It would be very neat if gods improving as people is a thing that could happen. That seems like the best possible resolution here, really. 

They can finish eating and go through two Gates in a row to reach the other base where Leareth is. 

Leareth is vaguely aware that he's been moved to a room with a bed in it and that Nayoki is there. And keeps reassuring him that he's not dying. He didn't think he was dying but he does feel impressively terrible. 

He's mostly been lying there frustrated that he can't think. It's not even that much that he's in pain - the headache is bad but being mildly scorched barely registers - but even apart from that, it feels like he has to push all his thoughts through glue. He doesn't really subjectively feel too hot anymore - at one point someone put cold wet towels all over him - he just still feels the wrong temperature, wrong in what direction is unspecified. 

He will still try to open his eyes and sit up when he hears someone coming in. 

:Hello, I'm here to try Endure Elements on your heatstroke if you're ready.:

(Leareth does not look like he's necessarily up for receptive Thoughtsensing to pick up on Blai - who is not a Mindspeaker himself - trying to think loud surface thoughts at him, so he'll bounce it.) 

Leareth doesn't know what Endure Elements is and so is having some trouble even getting that sentence to parse. He looks at Nayoki. 

She nods. 

:All right. ...Thank you.: 

:You're welcome.: "Endure Elements."

Leareth is now the correct temperature! It clearly isn't fixing anything else but it's kind of remarkable how much better he can think now that he's no longer intensely experiencing being the wrong temperature in an unspecified direction! 

He immediately looks somewhat more alert. :- I think that did help.: 

(Is also doing a healing spell going to trade off against other spells that could be important later in Haven? Leareth looks like he could still benefit from it but not like it’s definitely necessary for him to function today.)

Blai can burn one of the other first circle spells for it; he has his coat so probably he won't need an Endure himself, or maybe he doesn't need the Forbid Action?

:You cast Endure Elements yesterday - it was just after dark, in Haven - if it lasts until the same time the next day, I think you've got seven or eight candlemarks left on it.: He wasn't yet fully reading Blai's mind at the time, but did note him casting the spell, and had a chance later to get a little up to speed on the spells' constraints while Blai was thinking about them this morning. :And even if we end up outdoors for a long period, it's unlikely we'll be separated, so I can help keep you warm. ...I think it's probably worth giving up to have Leareth fully recovered today, in case he needs to respond to another emergency, but you should keep the Forbid Action.: It seems to go right through standard Velgarth shields - makes sense, no one could possibly have known to develop a shielding technique against it - so it's a pretty valuable last resort to have.

Well, someone else who doesn't have a Worldwound coat might need it, but perhaps Seldan can also keep other people warm. (Though, to be clear, Forbid Action has a pretty easy save, a completely normal person will throw it off more than a quarter of the time.) And after another rigmarole about making sure he's ready, lest he spook this not-technically-Rahadoumi-but-sorta-similar archmage, he'll do the Cure.

That's another instant huge improvement! It doesn't quite hit the hint of lingering backlash from Gating under conditions that were really not conducive to it, but that's nearly faded on its own by now. 

Leareth holds still long enough for the Healer hanging around to confirm that he’s back to perfect health, and then starts getting up.
