Everyone is conscious and breathing okay and nobody is bleeding to death right now, so Shavri's first priority is getting them comfortable in a room. ...A single room, it's going to be crowded especially with Seldan there, but they'll want everyone in range of Blai's channel. At least for the moment, there are enough Healers for a one-to-one ratio. Get Healing-link up to stabilize everyone, and then Shavri can use her Sight - she's better at it than just about anyone else in Valdemar - to figure out what the underlying injury is. 

...Possibly the fact that everyone was conscious and capable of getting themselves through a Gate was misleading and Shavri was too optimistic. This...does not look good. In fact, she's pretty sure that these are fatal injuries, and it's not a reassuring thought that this is how they're looking after Blai used a channel. 

Her mindvoice is matter-of-fact, though. :I see a few different things wrong. All of you have signs of inflammation in your brains, and if the tissues start to swell then that's very dangerous. Stef and Van have early signs of swelling already. Healing can delay the problem getting worse, and I think Blai's injury-healing magic will - reset it, at least - but there's something causing it that I can't see. ...You all have the kind of damage Randi did, the one that a Lesser Restoration aimed at Endurance helped with - Blai and Seldan aren’t as badly off, you both had more to work with, and Nayoki's also better off than I would expect compared to the others, which makes sense, if she had the Lesser Restoration.:

Shavri hesitates.

:You're also...leaking life-force, like you would if you were bleeding, but - with no structural damage we can fix. It’s more like there are - cracks, in all the loops your body’s energy should be passing through, too small to see with Healing Sight. And - there's something wrong with the natural mechanisms that Healing works with. There should be - you can imagine it like levers, that a Healer can touch - and none of that is working like it should. We can prop things up by feeding you Healing-energy constantly - we're going to have to - but I don't think it can keep up, the lever we use to get the Healing-energy into you is damaged. We can slow it down, that's all.:

Not quite saying, in so many words, that she thinks all of them are dying. 

:If Leareth can get to Golarion. That's what matters. Say when. For the second channel.

Shavri considers. 

:...I think we'll want to wait as long as we possibly can, in case - it's probably not just Leareth who was injured and isn't here yet, they might manage to evacuate more injured. Stef's the worst off but he should have a couple of hours. You're actually still brighter on life-force than a perfectly healthy normal person, even if it's half what I expect for you, and you've got more capacity left to absorb Healing-energy, I think you can last until evening before you're in real danger.: 

That's assuming he can manage to stay hydrated. Shavri is going to spend some time poking around to see if she can find any angle to help with the nausea. (She's pretty sure she can disrupt the process that leads to actually vomiting, if she catches it in time, but patients do not tend to thank her when she does that without doing anything to make them feel less sick.) In the meantime, everyone should have lots of ginger tea, and warm blankets, and they have three Healers on today who can painblock, for whoever needs it the most or maybe just taking turns. (Stef's Wild Gift could get everyone in the room at once, but Stef absolutely should not be using his Gifts right now. Shavri would be yelling at Seldan to stop using Mindspeech, too, if she thought there was any possible way he would listen.) 

You can't normally Create Water inside of people - it'd have, uh, combat applications, if you could do that - but maybe it's possible with a willing creature or one whose throat is sufficiently open or something - oh ginger tea yes please thank you he will drink ginger tea -

Seldan is not going to stop Mindspeaking yet! He has important conversations to have! ...He'll consider stopping it after Leareth is safe, it probably is costing him some energy, but he's already not going to be the limiting factor on when Blai needs to use the second channel. 

...He has confirmation that there are people out there looking for Leareth. Apparently Jisa is one of them, because apparently Leareth managed to comms-spell her? Which has to be a good sign, it was a couple of minutes after the alarm so they know he wasn't immediately unconscious, though it sounds like he didn't manage to tell her where he was - apart from "records cache" - before he stopped answering. But they're looking, and so are at least two other groups. Seldan really hopes they're managing to coordinate with each other on their search-plan. He's passed a message to the person on Leareth's staff who's in Haven and available to harass, that Blai is available to cast a Minor Prophecy on whoever would be most likely to be doing something usefully-informative when Leareth would be found, but Seldan is not in their chain of command and it's not an order and he has no idea if anyone will actually take them up. They do think Leareth is currently still alive, there's - he didn't bother to get the details, but there's some kind of alarm? Possibly they have someone watching his immortality Void-hideout (not functional but still there) to check that it's still attached to a person in the material plane? 

Seldan has already given all of the unsolicited advice he can think of and it seems like the thing to do now is wait. 

...Seldan hates waiting. Is there anything else they can do in parallel. He could pop to the blue place and try to ask the Shadow-Lover god to please put Leareth back if he tries to die? ...He could ask for a vision of where Leareth is but he really doubts that will work. 

It sounds like Blai's goddess probably can't and won't help them, given the being in another world and also broke... 

Yeah no She's not likely to be able to do anything here. They could try other gods. There's - if it's hard now to sort through Blai's memories he'll try to bring them to the fore - there's Abadar, He'd probably be so excited about contact between planets being possible repeatably enough for trade, about the diamond arbitrage - there's Shelyn and Sarenrae - Erastil - Desna - Cayden Cailean, who Blai doesn't really see the point of but did recommend to the Shadow-Lover as a previously mortal god to talk to -

Ugh, it is getting harder to do the sorting through Blai's memories, or at least Seldan doesn't think he can manage to do it while also having Mindspeech conversations. 

...It's potentially a very high priority, though, worth focusing on for a couple of minutes so he can bounce that list over to Rolan and some of the Heralds along with some brief commentary on the gods' traits. They should try to have people who're particularly aligned with a given god pray to Them, right, that helps? 

Oh, and he was assuming they should delegate this to people who aren't at this moment slowly dying, but - there's an advantage to being a cleric that isn't just the healing spells, right? Blai is also just stronger? If that's also true of new clerics then that is a pretty strong argument to have everyone here try to pray to a god who might be able to cleric them. Maybe timing it for after whenever Blai ends up using the channel, when they're feeling best. 

- well. That was a baffling update from Leareth's coordination person in Haven. Seldan has no idea what to make of it, it's bizarre timing given the...everything...but apparently Brightstar - shortly before Iftel exploded - had a vision. In which the Star-Eyed Goddess told him She might have made a mistake? That's literally all that was passed on, and it almost certainly doesn't make sense to interrupt Jisa's Leareth-rescue activities to get more, which is frustrating because the news didn't include anything on how Brightstar reacted and that feels like an essential piece of the puzzle, when it comes to figuring out what the Star-Eyed could possibly have been steering for? 

A first circle cleric might not be particularly stronger. Maybe they are. He's not sure.

Did the Star-Eyed... make a mistake... that exploded Iftel...? Or is She just sorry about k'Treva.

The information they have doesn't clarify! ...Seldan has no idea how the Star-Eyed Goddess could possibly explode Iftel, though, and - the apology (if it can be called that) vision was before the explosion. At least a couple of minutes before. She would need to have realized before it happened that it was a mistake, and still not been able to stop it. It makes more sense for it to be about k'Treva. 

In isolation this would seem like...good news, probably, weird and maybe some kind of plot but if the Star-Eyed really had concluded that k'Treva was a mistake, and wanted them to know that, that's probably a good thing...but in the actual case, Seldan is way too confused to feel anything positive about it.

Maybe... someone should be... folding that in to a prayer to Sarenrae?... he has maybe had enough ginger tea now that he could sleep. Is there any good reason he should not sleep.

Everyone who can possibly manage it should absolutely be trying to get some sleep at this point! Shavri can wake him when they need his healing. 

Jisa is an idiot. 

They have a map and scrying and contact with a couple of other teams also looking, and this is almost certainly going to work eventually, but at the rate they're ruling out bases, it could take them half an hour if they get unlucky. Leareth might not have half an hour. 

And the thing is. She knew that Brightstar had a way to track Leareth's location! And it's still taken her more than ten minutes to think of it!

Well, in her defense, asking Brightstar of all people for help saving Leareth's life is...a dubious proposition. But - it might be worth the risk. Asking him how he feels about the idea should be safe, his mage-gift is blocked, he can't do anything even if he concludes that she's given him the brilliant idea of finding Leareth to finish him off. She would have to unblock his Gifts to actually do it, of course, but - that's a decision she can make once she knows whether "the Star-Eyed might have made a mistake" is enough to make him convincable to help her. Jisa can be very convincing. 

:Brightstar: she sends. :I have a very important question for you.: 

Brightstar gives her a dull, blank look. 

She's reading his mind, obviously. 

:...Your Goddess didn't do this: she sends, gently. :It must have been Vkandis, right, and - She tried to warn us. Not - in time - but She tried. ...Brightstar, I don't think She was aiming for this. I - think maybe you need to try to talk to Her again, figure out what part She thinks was a mistake, but - if it was killing Leareth, if She thinks that wasn't necessary after all now that we have Blai's world, then...: 

Brightstar is taking it...numbly, Jisa thinks, too exhausted for emotions.

Jisa trails off, and chooses her next words very carefully. 

:Brightstar. You can find Leareth, right? If he's still alive? If you have your mage-gift back?: 

Brightstar stares at her. At least his reaction isn't an immediately 'why in the world would I do that?', or the even worse 'oh, what a brilliant idea, pretend I'm willing to help and then kill him.' 

Jisa makes herself meet his eyes, even though for some stupid reason she abruptly feels like crying. 

:We can still fix it, Brightstar. If we get to Golarion. We can bring back Starwind and Moondance and - everyone, if we can get enough diamonds and pay enough clerics. It's not too late. The Star-Eyed can't undo k'Treva, but - the deaths don't have to be permanent. But we need Leareth, to figure out a Gate for us.: 

The breath goes out of him in a little sigh.

:I do not have any diamonds: he sends, almost plaintive. 

If that's the sticking point - 

:Leareth would pay for it!: Jisa snaps at him. :He can afford it and he would absolutely consider it his responsibility! Just because it was part of a plot related to him! Also probably if it wasn't, because he made a vow to save everyone, but - he's going to want this in particular fixed sooner than that. I'm really sure of that.: 

It's...tempting. To believe her. Brightstar wants that to be how it is. 

Probably the best thing Jisa can possibly do here is just giving Brightstar space to grapple with it, but - how long does he need - they don't have time - 

:Brightstar, the Goddess sent you a vision for a reason: she sends, very softly. :It's - not free for gods to do that. I think She wanted you to - be able to think about the right thing to do. She probably can't see very well, Foresight is all messed up, but - you can.: 

:I will help you.: 

....Oh. Good. What a relief. Jisa had just gotten to the point of starting to think about whether and how she could use compulsions and/or Mindhealing to make him. 

:Thank you: she sends, earnestly. :I think it's the right– I think it's the only thing to do, here. ...I'm going to unblock your mage-gift now.: 

Brightstar does not, in fact, make even the slightest attempt to use this opportunity to harm Leareth. Jisa is on a hair-trigger and ready to set-command him at the first glimpse of any suspicious or hostile thought, but Brightstar mostly isn't having thoughts at all, just that exhausted blankness.

He gives them a location - approximate, to within a mile, but enough to narrow down the records cache on the map, at least once they figure out how to interpret the mental impression, and from there it's thirty seconds to have a Gate up. 

Leareth can't be dead. Because it worked. They wouldn't have been able to find him this way if he was dead. There are other explanations for how upset Brightstar looks, like it sinking in that Vkandis set most of His country on fire to do this– oh, and Leareth shows up to Mindhealing Sight, so he can't be dead. Even if what she sees is that his garden is on fire. Dead bodies don't show up to Mindhealing Sight as on fire, they just don't show up. He must look pretty upsetting to Healing-Sight too, that's enough to explain Brightstar's horrified expression. 

It seems risky to move him, but what's the alternative, tracking down Blai and hauling him here? She's not even sure where Blai is; she didn't get a direct report on him at all, really, all she knows is that Seldan is making an ass of himself in Haven, so Blai's got to be in the city. Right?

They'll just have to be really, really careful not to jostle him, and be quick. 

Twenty-seven minutes after the attack hit, a Gate goes up in the hallway of the House of Healing in Haven. Hopefully Blai isn't far. At the very least it's where all the Healers are.
