That's not unreasonable. But it's the belief I acted on. I called him for help, he appeared, he shielded Healers', he helped Melody get the gryphons down. They were still besieging the place, and they were after me, so I needed to get out. My transport spell doesn't work on the caster, though I expect to have that oversight corrected soon. So getting me out required a Gate, which Leareth provided, and we brought Van, since if I'd left him behind he would have been helpless in a besieged building and also in tremendous pain. Then I tapped some of Leareth's staffpeople to get enough mana to grab Shavri - I was worried that they might have enough intel to kidnap my friends as hostages, and she's also a Mindspeaker, and was able to get back in communication with Haven with the earcuff even once I was out of arts for the day. We heard they'd taken Melody, so I got Melody and healed her, and on her advice we evacuated the rest of the building. And Sayshen, who'd had the same thought I did about my friends and had been running away with Shavri and Need. I expect to be able to send people back in a less panicked fashion over the next day or so.
