Laia hears that Lady Eriape is in the antimagic cell in the palace dungeons when the party who accosted her brag about it in the convention hall the next day. She sends Eloi out to get confirmation of that and see if Lady Eriape is allowed visitors for spiritual counseling. By the end of the convention she has an appointment.
In she goes. "Lady Eriape, thank you so much for agreeing to see me, I'm Songbird Laia Solandra."
"I can at least mention it! Do you think the adventurers found all your money, or is there some you could put toward the Arch-healer's spell?"
"All my Money was Elsewhere, mostly in the Bank! My Badger Friends will have Moved it to Different Account by Now! The Wicked Adventurers got my Daily Use Sorcerous Objects, and My Book of Spells, but Nothing Else! But you could Go and Ask the Badgers for Money!"
"They weren't captured? Probably if it's in the bank it would be safest for me to just take your statement that you want to spend in this way and the bankers can find it when I tell them. A reincarnation from the Arch-healer is only ten dollars but a resurrection is thousands, which I'm sure you can afford but they will probably truth spell me about it."
"It was Important that they Not Be Captured! I Made Sure that they Got Away! If we Write a Letter to the Badgers, I am Sure they will Send the Money!"
"I was imagining just telling the bankers what you said without going through the badgers at all. Suppose I startled them? Or they didn't believe me, since they aren't Abadarans with truth magic? And I'd tell the bankers that you said it in an antimagic cell, which I would expect would mean you couldn't have been enchanted into saying it."
