"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. 

"You do not need to stay if you have other priorities right now," Aroden says to Khemet. "He would understand. Vanyel and I will still be here if he wakes up." 

"I don't have other priorities right now."

Nefreti finishes her work and siphons away the mess of magical energy pooling where her spell has scrubbed it and then takes down Aroden's scaffolding with a wave of her hand. She didn't get it all; the scaffold wasn't perfectly placed to reach all of it and the future actually looks cleaner if there's a little bit left, so the Tayledras have one more year of work. 

(It's so nice being able to see so clearly!)

"There you go," she says merrily to the watching Adepts. "This is a lovely planet. Maybe I will visit again."
