An adventuring party recruited from Osirion teleports into Azir on the 8th of Desnus. Rahadoum's recruiting contact in Osirion wrote ahead to note they were expected. Couple of guys he's known a long time - a wizard, a ranger - and a new guy, sorcerer, probably to replace the cleric they usually travel with. They spend two days in Azir getting oriented and head out to the front. The ranger wears an unusually high quality amulet of Nondetection; the sorcerer wears a headband for intelligence, which is a bit unusual as sorcerers usually don't need it to cast, but some variants do; they are otherwise unremarkable. Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, no reading, which could mean neutral or 'hiding it'. They work quickly and effectively, manage resources reasonably well, get recommended to higher-ups for a closer look on that account.
"After which point he made use of their local magic to kidnap and interrogate Leareth. Leareth is - definitely on our side, he's trying very hard to cooperate, and–" she glances around at the number of other Heralds nearby, "–it's complicated. You should ask Yfandes for a full debrief on her time here. Anyway, they're about to have a war with a country currently under the control of an evil god, led by that country's former ruler. They also have resurrection magic. We need a very strong Mindspeaker, to - communicate what's happening to the civilian populace, who we think will not resist the invasion if they know the circumstances. All of us thought you'd be best placed to do that, given your Mindspeech range, and we hoped you'd be willing."
" - my shields block Mindspeech," he says apologetically to Savil. "We were going to fix that but haven't had the chance yet."
Then he will explain to Taver how his world has afterlives, some of which are Evil, and that Osirion doesn't personally lose too many people to Hell though more than you'd like but Cheliax, ruled by Asmodeus, damns nearly all of them, in varyingly insidious ways. And he explains about Aroden, and doesn't get into the part where Aroden is Leareth, and explains that Aroden has been working for a century on a plan to take Cheliax back but it would be nice to have as few casualties as possible because of the thing where they will all go to Hell.
"Alive. Delian re-Chose him." Sigh. "I - can't tell you what to do, obviously, but...it shouldn't surprise you that he's a mess, and I don't think pulling him into a war will be good for him. He's barely just starting to recover."
"Cheliax is across the sea from here. I think probably someone would teleport you around but I don't know the details of Aroden's invasion plans, I'd notify him you were helping and he'd communicate more from there."
Savil is privately thinking that the pharaoh is not exactly helping them out of pure altruism, but she relays his words again without comment.
"We are very grateful for Valdemar's aid in this undertaking and will of course offer you whatever support we can in it."
"Yes, definitely." And he can direct him out to the beach where Yfandes prefers to hang out.
Vanyel is now holding a couple more True Resurrection-appropriate diamonds and even with Lesser Restoration he needs a break, he's not sure who he should be giving them to for safekeeping? Building up a stash of diamonds worth 25,000 gold each in his bedroom seems suboptimal, not that theft is likely to be a problem here.
Then Vanyel will take a nap for a couple of hours, ask for an early lunch that's really more like brunch, and then attempt some more diamonds.
Once he becomes aware of this the pharaoh will check, using the mirror, if it's a good time for Leareth to talk.
