Raafi awakes to some curious forest creature snuffling at his ear, where he's curled up beneath a tree; he startles, teleporting away, and only when he goes back for his bedroll and finds it missing does he remember that he'd gone to sleep in a farmer's hayloft the night before, and not a forest at all.

"Unfortunate. Does he have any other allies? Alive, or ones I might resurrect?"

"Wen Ning, one of the survivors--for a time--and the only known example of sapient undead. Wen Qing, one of the survivors and his sister. The rest of the survivors are less specifically notable to the public but they ceased to survive shortly after Wei Wuxian did. Jiang Fengmian could conceivably be helpful, but might also be politically complicated; a Sect Leader has never come back from the dead before."

"If it'd be obvious quickly enough whether he'd be likely to help, I can cast a divination to check, but my best one looks a week into the future. How hard will it be to get the others' remains, do you know?"

"Wen Ning and Wen Qing were burned to prevent Wei Wuxian from bringing them back; they predeceased him."
where my feet lead me
"All right. I can work from ashes if we can get them, but I'm not sure that's a good idea anyway. We'll have to see how the first few resurrections go."
"Is there anything else you want me to know? About him, or anything else?"
where-the-chaos-is
"Jin Zixuan's father, and the person responsible for what Wei Wuxian was rescuing the Wen civilians from."

"Mm. I'll be careful. Mostly physically dangerous, or should I be watching out for something more subtle? I do best when I know what I'm facing, since I have to prepare my magic ahead of time."
where-the-chaos-is
"Politically dangerous. Perhaps physically as well, since you are not a cultivator."

"-tricky, but I can probably work with that. All right. - I am pretty good in a fight when I'm prepared, and the teleportation makes it hard to force me into one, don't worry too much about that."

"Hopefully it will limit his ability to move against you significantly if you are able to resurrect his son."
where my feet lead me
"That's good. It wouldn't necessarily be the case, everywhere I've been. That's the major limitation I have, if you have any advice about it, that I don't know much of anything about how things work here. - next time, that spell will be wearing off soon. I should be able to prepare it every day at least once, though, if you'd like me to, it's only second tier."

"Thank you. It is incalculably easier to find the words for what I wish to communicate, like this."
where my feet lead me
"You're welcome. I can do a half-hour version, too, at third tier, just let me know the day before if you're going to need it for something."
where-the-chaos-is
"I can think of situations where it could have been useful in the past, but whether they could have been anticipated in advance is another matter."

"Yeah. If I could get home I'd recommend you get a magic item for it, that'd let you keep the spell on all the time, but," he shrugs. "Eventually. Did you have any questions for me?"
