A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
That sounds pretty dangerous? Uh - I guess it depends on what you expect the primary obstacles to hell rescues to be.
I can give you magic weapons and armor. I'll have to see what else.
It's actually possible that the best way to rescue people from hell is to resurrect them, though, if that works for people who aren't in the Pathfinder afterlives.
Um, we could test it. You have anybody you especially want resurrected?
Not personally? I could get you people on our side killed in action but they wouldn't be, like, friends.
Okay. I guess I may as well test it on my sister.
She makes herself a ring of three wishes with one wish left in it. She takes off her ring of regeneration and puts on the new one. She takes a deep breath.
"I wish to resurrect my sister."
" - wow, Asmodeus is going to have half a second to feel like this was really unfair."
" - I don't - okay. Um. I feel like I should resurrect a bunch of people but I don't know exactly where I'd - put them."
" - yeah. This is why most gods appoint clerics at this point, I think."
"Probably not. But, like, you're well past the point where you have to delegate."
"I feel like at this point you should look for a world that has - some kind of structured group that you can trust. Not ours, if you don't want to unpause it, and not the fairy world, I wouldn't think, and I guess Valentine is worried about powerful evil forces immediately noticing if things happen in her world, too, but - somewhere."
"I guess."
Hey, mindreader, your world doesn't have any handy trustworthy infrastructure I could talk to, does it, because that would be super convenient probably.
Kind of? We work with the American government on vampire slaying and there's a division of secret projects that deals with the supernatural.
...so is that a yes or a no on people who can advise me on what to do with the power to resurrect arbitrary people.
They could relocate them, and identify them for you, if we're talking hundreds or maybe thousands? Not millions.
I suspect that if I do it a lot I will get the ability to do it more efficiently. And then we could be talking... a lot.
