Ferrer Maillol is relieved to see Sevar here so quickly, because it means that Sevar and the Queen are not having sex, which would not have been something he needed in his life.  He's tired enough from having to kneel patiently while three eighth-circle wizards argued about why nobody figured out heritage math if heritage math was actually that simple; and the Queen of Cheliax read transcripts of Sevar's thoughts while having sex, while making interesting, and obviously deliberate, facial expressions, where Maillol could see them.

"Sevar.  I confirm that was Her Infernal Majestrix."

"Thank you. Am I supposed to provide my best recollection of the conversation."

"Her Infernal Majestrix has instructed that I am not to proactively inquire into the contents of her conversation with you, but if you seek instruction of your own accord, I am allowed to laugh.  Those were her literal words."

"Well, it seems like you could use a laugh. Sir."

"I do not need my life to be any more humorous than it already is, in fact.  And you need to get enough sleep to prepare spells today.  If your questions aren't going to keep you up, ask later, and if they will, get a sleep spell.  Unless it's brief."

No, it's just that she's really curious about her Evil Bag Of Holding. "Good night, sir."

"Asmodeus uphold you, Sevar."  He has her new intelligence headband now, in fact, but he's not giving it to her until she's slept enough to prepare spells, because wizards are all insane.

If wizards are insane they are in good company with, apparently, the entire rest of the world including the gods. 

Carissa has a lot of practice at waking up for a life-or-death fight in the middle of the night and then going right back to sleep. It is in many ways a combat wizard's core skillset. She sleeps immediately and soundly, with her Evil Bag Of Holding clutched at her side.

Keltham wakes up more muzzily than the previous day, to dawn's light coming through his windows.  The non-fully-opaqueable windows seem less like a design flaw if clerics have to pray for their spells during the dawn hour.

All right.  Let's do this.

Keltham reviews his notes from the previous night, written appropriately cryptically, and then prays, trying to cast his mind Beyond, maybe in the direction that wasn't the three space or one time, looking toward his deity: the Lawful Neutral god of people wanting to follow the protocols they must follow in order for their interactions to be mutually beneficial, come to the Pareto frontier, coordinate without vast enforcement costs, summing to powerful societies and markets even when people largely pursue their own individual interests individually, because they never step on others in order to do that.

Requests, obviously subject to amendation should his unknown god deem there to be better spells he could get:

0th:  Detect Magic, Guidance
1st:  Comprehend Languages, Truthspell, keep Sanctuary
2nd:  Owl's Wisdom, Early Judgment
3rd:  Invisibility Purge actually, how about his god only reassigns him Invisibility Purge, or Glimpse of Beyond, if Keltham still might need it
3rd:  Owl's Wisdom, actually Honest Pricing also seems good here
4th:  Early Judgment

And also:

If conditional spell assignment works at all for communication with his god, please assign Read Weather (1st).
If the communication doesn't cost much, please assign Lighten Object (1st).
If the communication seems like it should be error-free and reliable, please assign Air Bubble (1st).
If Keltham should speak freely and teach as much as he can to his hosts, please assign Light (0th).
If Keltham should instead stall them with relatively less dangerous material, please assign Create Water (0th).
And if Keltham should run the ass out of here today with just Carissa and tell nobody else where he's going, please assign Lay of the Land (2nd).

Any remaining slots should be assigned as his god sees fit.

...Keltham would also like to talk, if now is a better time than yesterday, for whatever reason.  Keltham has many questions about how he can best cooperate in a mutually beneficial way with his god.

Presumably Pharasma's had time to review Otolmens' reports by now and the absence of communications from her suggests that it's fine to proceed as normal?

It is TRUE that Pharasma has now had time to review Otolmens's first report about the anomaly.

However, Pharasma has NOT had time to review the second, third, fourth, or most recently FIFTH additional reports that Otolmens THEN had to file dealing with the ABSURD and INCREASINGLY RAPID escalation of DIVINE INTERVENTIONS around the region She SPECIFICALLY SAID everyone needed to STOP intervening in.  Abadar may be familiar with the THIRD report in this sequence.  It concerns the mortal's acquisition of SEVEN CLERIC LEVELS.  Yet ANOTHER report concerns an intervention by ASMODEUS who Otolmens is aware is GOOD FRIENDS with ABADAR.  Then there are interferences by NETHYS and for some reason CAYDEN CAILEAN and Otolmens is still wondering what IOMEDAE was doing in that pseudohypothetical chat.

Otolmens is willing to entertain that there are possible replies to a prayer which would make further events LESS COMPLICATED, such as commanding the anomalous mortal to REMAIN STILL AND NOT MOVE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.  Is Abadar planning to send a reply like that?

Mortals literally die of that. And also, Abadar does not command his mortals, He trades with them. 

Otolmens FAILS to see why a mortal dying would be BAD as they are LITERALLY DESIGNED TO DO THAT and do so ALL THE TIME but if for some reason it IS bad then the NEARBY mortals will no doubt HEAL that one.

....well, the mortal did want to use a secret code to ask whether to give Cheliax good information or stall them. Abadar knows that god-agreements prohibit using cleric spell assignments as a poor man's Commune but. Perhaps Otolmens would consider it acceptable for Abadar to tell the mortal to stall. 

Instruct the mortal to CONCEAL information?  CONCEALING information usually makes situations MORE COMPLICATED because then agents have DIFFERENT PICTURES of what is HAPPENING and their actions do not conduce to ANY coherent strategy or goal, even those goals that most mortals usually share, such as NOT DESTROYING REALITY.

A compelling argument!!! Cheliax is currently concealing information from the mortal and Abadar just wants to straighten that out, which will probably make the situation less complicated, for all the very good reasons Otolmens just listed.

WHY are the surrounding natives concealing information from the anomaly.  Do they suspect that, if given any information, the anomaly will use it to DEDUCE THE NATURE OF REALITY and then DESTROY IT.

Yes!! They do!

Oh, come on.

Asmodeus cannot exactly see everything going on down there but a lot of what His mortals are concealing is, indeed, of the 'true nature of reality' flavor. Abadar should absolutely not blow that up within 57,000 time units just because he's sour that the mortal hasn't gone to Him. 

The thing Abadar is angry about is that the mortal is being systematically lied to and exploited when he would be a really excellent trade partner for decent people.

And he'll get around to it, no doubt!! But the impatience is unbecoming, really.

It seems to Abadar that Otolmens might reasonably consider Asmodeus's conduct in Hell a threat to the stability of the Material Plane, if concealing it is necessary to prevent threats to the stability of the Material Plane and Asmodeus has never before been bothered to conceal this. It seems to Abadar that the mortal wants a nice rich stable world, and is more likely to endanger it if he ends up getting the wrong subset of information about the world, like might happen if you are Asmodeus and maliciously lying to advance your own interests. It seems to Abadar that containing the mortal by trying to learn his dangerous secrets while concealing Asmodeus's own dangerous secrets is an obviously doomed plan and it's absurd for Otolmens to countenance that and not countenance Abadar telling the mortal a small set of true non-inflammatory things such as 'Cheliax is lying to you' and 'my country has preexisting contractual arrangements for similar situations and will respect your intellectual property'.

Otolmens is becoming increasingly WORRIED about what Asmodeus is PLANNING if it is not simply CONTAINMENT.  If the surrounding natives are withholding information from the anomaly-mortal as part of a PLAN by ASMODEUS then perhaps it would be better after all if Abadar told His mortal not to -

Nethys would like to say hi again!  Nethys knows you're looking in this direction!  Nethys knows you're wondering whether Nethys really has a plan that encompasses all of this chaos and is leading up to something interesting!  And if Nethys does have a plan like that, what is that plan's objective?  Could it possibly be the destruction of all reality?

Well, Nethys is proud to announce that Nethys DOES have a plan!  Definitely!  A plan that encompasses even Abadar's own predictable reactions to how things are going so far!  Nethys isn't going to tell you anything about the objective of that plan, though.  Then you would get bored and stop looking, and Nethys finds it useful to overhear your conversations.
