The Heralds are semi-organized now and King Randale has gotten a quick briefing on the situation. He's still pretty upset about being unexpectedly yanked out of Haven without having received any explanation beforehand, but he kind of understands the reasoning there. 

Aroden can sit down and explain a little more to Valdemar's King, since maintaining good terms with Valdemar is quite important, but halfway through he's interrupted by one of his staff with an update on what happened with Leareth and Vanyel. 

"I am sorry but I need to go," he tells the King. "Where is Melody?" 

"I think she's with the Tayledras, we were asked to have a Mindhealer watching them." 

"Well, please have one of the Healers keep them unconscious until you receive confirmation that Nefreti is finished with her part. I am taking Melody to Osirion." 

Melody is confused about what's going on but she'll go along with it. 

Aroden Teleports them to outside the Dome and asks to see Leareth. 

Aroden can be brought in to see Leareth, who is currently asleep and being held by Khemet. 

Aroden looks concerned. He sits down. "I am so sorry this happened to him," he says, very softly so as not to wake Leareth. "I knew it would be very dangerous, but - I thought She would default to physical attacks, not - whatever it is that happened to him..." 

Melody sits as well. She can look at Leareth's mind just fine, maybe even more easily, with him asleep. 

"I don't think Abadar was expecting this either." 

"Is he going to be all right." 

"I - think so..." Melody doesn't sound as certain as would be reassuring. "His head is pretty messed up, I think he's going to be mostly out of it for a couple of days, but he should bounce back significantly by himself, with some rest. I don't think poking at his head more will help right now, but I can have a go at re-ordering this a bit tomorrow, if he's lucid enough to cooperate with it by then."

She turns. "Nayoki, you had a look too?" 

"Yes. We should speak." 

Well, they can speak in Mindspeech, then, so as not to disturb Leareth. 

Who wakes up a few minutes later from an extremely disjointed and confusing nightmare, and kind of panicky about it. 

The whole situation probably has diplomatic implications that as Abadar's aspect on Golarion he should manage but something tells him it's not the worst move from the appeasing-Aroden perspective to, instead, hang out right here snuggling Leareth.

"You're safe," he says softly when he wakes up. "You're back in the Dome."

"Mmm. What - something wrong..." His ability to use words is a bit more accessible to him, now, but it's still very effortful. "My head. Hard to think." 

"Some gods had a fight in your head, seems normal to feel terrible from that. Melody thinks you'll be all right after a few days though." 

Oh no is he going to feel like this for days, that's awful. 

Hug. "You don't need to worry about anything. We've got it."

That's good. Leareth will just relax and drift, then. Being held is nice. 

Once it seems like Leareth would maybe benefit more from some gentle distraction than from complete silence, Aroden starts a light conversation with Vanyel and Khemet about education in Cheliax. 

...Leareth is starting to feel a bit better. He can mostly speak in sentences when he tries, though he's still drifting in and out of sleep. 

Unfortunately, at some point Delay Pain wears off, and everything is VERY BAD again. 

It's probably stupid to be mad at Abadar about this but he is anyway. They can Delay Pain some more, probably.

Leareth eventually falls more deeply asleep, and this time stays that way for longer than half an hour.
