:- Do you know of a way to reach Golarion, other than through the rift in Iftel?: Nayoki asks Carissa. :Because I do not think it especially advisable for us to attempt crossing the barrier again: 

Permalink

Not without powerful magic I don't have.

Permalink

:Do you know anything about how the magic works, in general? Leareth has some very good researchers. We could perhaps replicate it: 

Permalink

Plane Shift is seventh circle for wizards but everyone knows there are more efficient ways, it's only fifth for clerics. It's conjuration, like Teleport, and it doesn't target very precisely on the other side. I've never seen it or been subject to it. If you can do it at all you can take a reasonable volume of cargo or passengers.

:Do you have any more details or knowledge on how Teleport works? I suppose you must, if your plan was to make an artifact for it: 

Permalink

I've done daggers that teleport to the bearer's hand and I was gonna adjust from that until I had something stable and fifth-circle. I mostly do item enchanting, not utility casting, but I can make anything I've seen.

:Fascinating! I am sure Leareth will have many questions for you once he is feeling better. I expect he will be able to help - he is very good at artifact work, though of course our magic is different: 

Leareth is leaning a lot more of his weight against her now. Nayoki frowns. "Leareth? Are you still with us?" When he doesn't respond, she shifts position so she can gently pat his cheek. "Leareth!"

Leareth makes a 'nnng' sound. 

Permalink

"Leareth, I need you to stay conscious, all right?" 

Permalink

"Mmm." It's a lot harder now that he feels safe enough to relax, finally. 

Permalink

:How long ago was the Void incident now?: Nayoki asks Carissa. :What was his condition before the most recent Gate?: She's not sure she's ever seen Leareth look this bad. 

Permalink

Two and a half days? He seemed - pretty weak but recovering. Not having instantaneous healing magic that just fixes stuff sounds so stupid!!! She cannot even imagine powerful wizards who are just kind of vaguely out of commission unfixably for days. In Golarion death wouldn't do that.

Permalink

:Your world's healing magic sounds extraordinary! I expect we will have many more questions about it: 

Permalink

They've had custody of her people for three days already, if they didn't kill them, and Leareth seemed confident they wouldn't because it'd be stupid. 

Of course.

Permalink

:- Oh, did I forget to mention that? Yes, we do have your people. They are not casters, though, and did not know enough of the magical details to give us much of a start at researching it: 

Permalink

I can do Infernal Healing in the morning, you can watch. Now she's being snappish with people she doesn't have a grievance with and needs to like her. Stop that, Carissa. I'm sorry I got him hurt, I never wanted to do that. She has literally no idea if that's true because she hasn't considered it at all.

Permalink

:Were the others in your party covered under your agreement with Leareth?: 

Permalink

No. 

She has feelings about that for half a second before stopping because it'd be stupid.

Permalink

:Well, I will discuss it with him once he is more lucid - it seems not unreasonable, and it is not as though they have much critical intelligence on our organization. In the meantime, we can take you to see them if you want: 

Permalink

Uh, sure. It'll be informative about Leareth's organization, at least. She's not at all clear why they'd make a concession she didn't negotiate in advance - no, that's a reasonable thing to do if they're trying to have a good-faith negotiation with a potential ally, Leareth hasn't told his people he refuses to work with Asmodeus yet.

Permalink

Nayoki nods and then falls silent. 

About a minute later she shifts. :- Can you hold him for a moment? I need to concentrate on my Gate: 

Permalink

"I can help!" Jisa offers brightly. 

Permalink

Yeah, we can hold him. She hooks her arm under Leareth's.

Permalink

Leareth braces his other hand against the floor and manages to stay sitting up, lifting his head to blearily watch Nayoki's Gate. 

Permalink

She's fast and skillful at it, though nowhere near the speed of Leareth's midair Gate out of the collapsing underground room. 

And then, very suddenly, the room is full of half a dozen Velgarth Healers. Someone has a stretcher to carry Leareth. They coordinate with each other in Mindspeech and basically ignore Carissa, though Jisa gets a few odd looks.
