:Do the famous archmages have, er, names? Or is 'the archmage party' going to be obvious to everyone because they're that famous?: 

:They are extremely famous but yes, of course they have names. The new Queen of Cheliax took the regnal name Aspexia III; I'm not sure if she's better known under another name abroad. Arch-Healer Naima and her husband the Archmage Elie Cottonet. The Abadaran Inquisitor Shawil. And... some kind of odd sorcerer... the Archmage... ...Ione, I think?:

Jisa will very carefully write that down. 

Shavri has been mulling on the situation.

:Blai, if by chance they manage it when you're - not quite gone yet, but aren't able to answer questions - what exact spells would it take to repair damage that Lesser Restoration doesn't get? Is there anything lower than fifth circle, or I suppose fifth circle but not needing a diamond -: 

Brightstar still really looks like he wants to say something. 

:Restoration at fourth circle wants diamond dust - yea much -: An attempt at a mental image of the amount. :If this is a poison Neutralize Poison also fourth circle might help without such a component but I would not bet on it:

Shavri will take her own turn to very carefully write that down. 

Brightstar can't restrain himself any longer. 

:I could do it faster if you let me do it my way!: he bursts out, addressing Jisa but including everyone in the room. 

:Brightstar, you can't experimentally place anchor waypoints! You'll accidentally Gate yourself directly into the Elemental Plane of Fire and die!: 

:Not if I am very careful and very fast!:

:If this is a Plane of Fire specific problem there are spells for that:

What circle? Do they trade off against Lesser Restoration or just against Remove Sickness? 

...The thought Shavri is having is very uncharacteristic for her but - no, she stares at it and it stays put and she thinks she means it. 

:We've got a channel in here every three candlemarks: she sends. :As long as Brightstar has some kind of - tether, or something - and isn't going to actually die in the Elemental Plane of Fire, it seems...probably worth taking some risks of serious injury? If he times it for around when we're due to channel in here anyway.: 

THAT IS INDEED NOT A CHARACTERISTIC THING FOR HER MOTHER OF ALL PEOPLE TO SAY!!!! ...Jisa was...really hoping for more backup here on the matter of convincing her brother not to get himself recklessly killed in a misguided attempt to apologize for getting other people recklessly killed... 

:If it takes more than a week we're going to need five Raise Dead spells anyway: Shavri points out. :Even if Brightstar manages to blow himself up in a way that can't be fixed by a channel, I'm sure he can be careful enough to make some progress first, and as long as you get it less than...what was it, a week?...after that, and you get his body back, it's just one more Raise Dead to get him back too. And if he's right and we can gamble on his getting it in only one week, then probably at least some of the people in this room are still alive, and it won't be as expensive to heal them as to raise them.: 

....Blai does that actually seem logical or is Shavri completely missing some aspect of the situation. 

Well, "just one more Raise Dead" is a hell of a thing to say if you aren't swimming in diamonds but Blai's not up to date on that. He doesn't know what the actual odds they're looking at are and those matter. But yeah if Brightstar shows up burned all to hell (Resist Energy is second circle, for the curious, and Protection from Energy is third, but he does need to know what kind of energy, it's not going to help if he casts it for fire and then Brightstar gets an icy part of the Plane of Water or something) then they can just channel about it probably?

:Shavri, do we in fact have enough diamonds lined up to Raise the dead we already have confirmed and additional people?: Seldan sends, to the whole room.

Shavri had been assuming that they obviously would? Lady Treesa apparently owns several items of jewelry with diamonds probably large enough for a Raise Dead, and she's just a random Valdemaran noblewoman. But she glances over at the mage from Leareth's organization who accompanied Jisa. 

:We have 87 confirmed casualties whose bodies we were able to retrieve from the north and were planning to procure enough Raise Dead diamonds to cover them as well as Leareth, obviously, and Yfandes and the kyree casualties whose bodies we have secured.: A pause. :My understanding is that we need larger diamonds if it takes longer than a few weeks. I think we can eventually procure those but it may require opening a diamond mine specifically for that purpose.: 

....Well, okay then, that answers that question. 

The man glances at Brightstar again. :We can also provide shield-talismans for the experimental work. Ours are much better than anything Valdemar has, and there may be time for custom designs that imitate Blai's spell, if we can see a sample casting of it once.: 

:I'll defer to the group consensus on when it would be best to prepare one in place of a Lesser Restoration:

Jisa glances at the others. :I think we're going to want a summon tomorrow, and we might want the Protection from Energy the next day - it mostly trades off against a Lesser Restoration either way, right, so we might as well see the example of the stronger one?: 

:At some point it's going to start trading off against Remove Disease, which is third circle: Shavri sends. :Unless Blai gets a second slot at third circle. We can probably still afford that in two days' time, but - if you think you're going to want it at some point, better not to wait.: 

Glance over at Blai. :...If we assume you deteriorate from here to dead over the next seven days, is there a point where you might become too weak or too confused to pray for spells, or to cast them properly?:
