"Are you sure nothing higher leverage will come up before the next time you can prep spells?"

"Miracle is normally instantaneous, so even if it takes him subjectively a while I'd expect it to work. I have no idea what else we're going to run into but this seems like the thing with the best prospects of getting us to not be fast, which I'd really like."

"Is it in fact an unproblematic solution to kill and raise this guy? I mean, for one thing we'll know his name all over again once he's back, and for another presumably everyone he knows will miss him while we're being slow about getting him raised, especially if it takes until dawn."

"It doesn't seem like an ideal solution but do we have any other ones? I can't keep being fast, it's going to very quickly cause a lot of disasters here."

"What kind of disasters?"

"Well, they're going to panic over the fact I vanished, and then do a lot of magic to try to figure out where I am, and when it turns up that I'm still here do a lot of magic to try to establish contact, and when that fails try to cover up the fact that I disappeared, and when that fails plausibly have a civil war."

"Why would you have a civil war? Don't you have a god pick your rulers specifically to avoid that kind of problem?"

"You can't just avoid interacting with him in resurrected form to have knowing his name not be a problem because you're the person who'd have to resurrect him! Is there someone else handy who can do that who we can communicate with in writing or something?"

"We can have someone else resurrect him. We do have a god pick our rulers to avoid civil wars but I don't think Abadar can pick a new pharaoh while I'm not dead just trapped."

"Okay. Fairy dude, is that okay if this works on your grandmother?"

"I'm not at all sure you'll be able to kill me but I'm not opposed in principle, if you intend to bring me back not entangled to you at the soonest available opportunity."

"Why wouldn't we be able to?"

"You generally cannot kill a fairy unless they are very in your debt, which I am not."

"What interferes exactly?"

"Injuries will tend very strongly to be nonlethal, and trying puts you in the debt of the person you tried to kill. if you try again then you get misfortune for attacking someone you're indebted to."

It's probably useful to know that debt is transferable.

"Oh, yes, that's useful. You estimate the value of your life in some material denomination, I give you that much stuff or give it to someone to give you, we pick something instantly lethal just in case, you have a heap of stuff that you can give the random cleric who can't guess your name in case that turns out to be expensive - is there any projected issue with this plan contingent on resurrecting your grandmother working as one would hope?"

"I do not know if it will slow you down but I don't expect it to make the situation worse and it might slow you down."

"Is there a path between here and whatever cleric can do the resurrection without opening any doors? Should we have a plan for what to do with the gate after everything's squared away, for example does leafwings over there want to come hang out since being able to guess a bit of her name doesn't seem to be a problem yet?"

Don't say it but how much have you guessed, I don't have a way to check from here.

"One syllable."

That's not enough to get me but it's probably enough for me to get you if I think the wrong thing. It's not a catastrophe, though, it doesn't do anything passively the way his version does. It would stop you from hurting me and mean I could give you orders if I wanted to.

"Do we have somewhere to put her where she won't accidentally hear syllables of names occasionally?"

"It's not our palace. Do you?"

"Maybe she likes where she is."
