"I mean, I can take it if you don't want it. ...I don't know if I'd notice if Thall made a run for it, though, I'm a pretty sound sleeper."

(Which would be fine in itself, but it feels pretty dubious to put Select Blai in accidental violation of his commitments to Hulrun by intentionally leaving that out.)

"...all right, wizards and I it is, I sleep lightly and am merely fortunate to have the ability to fall back asleep at once if nothing seems to be the matter."

"Got it."

This decided he'll go to bed whenever the wizards do. Whenever Thall does, if they go at different hours.

Thall is second. (Nenio is still awake; she's currently interviewing Ember about her magic, as Ember circulates the tavern making absolutely sure everyone gets offered healing.)

Anevia wakes him shortly before dawn; she's quiet enough that she can be sure she won't wake Nenio. She silently gestures him out of the room.

He follows her out. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope, just wanted to give you the day's briefing somewhere it won't wake up the wizards."

It's a pretty short briefing today! The remaining cultists seem to have mostly fled or hidden themselves away. If he's still interested in helping out around the city, the main priority today is repairing key infrastructure so people with intact homes can start to return to them; if he could prepare some castings of Stone Shape in his third-circle slots, they can tell him where to put them. (Some Lesser Restoration castings at second would also be helpful, for fixing up some people from the force storming the Gray Garrison, but reserving some second-circle slots in case he encounters some cultists who didn't flee is totally reasonable.)

Stone Shapes, Lesser Restoration, and oh-shit spells, got it. - any requests if he's fourth today, the garrison was eventful.

"A couple days ago I'd've said Sending for sure. Now... Iomedae gives out Mark of Justice at fourth, there's a couple people where — it'd be nice to be able to cut a deal where they tell us everything they know, but it's hard to be sure they won't just run back to Baphomet the moment we let them go, even if they can convince themselves they won't for long enough to pass a Truthtelling."

"Understood. - if you happen to know what my domain options are, I actually don't, I think I have some kind of subdomains, Qualm I think isn't typical for Good and Divine Favor and Prayer aren't standard for Law."

She thinks for a couple moments. "I don't remember off the top of my head, but if we've seen it before we might have a record of it, it's the sort of thing we try to keep track of."

She looks through one of the sets of paper on Irabeth's desk. "Huh. Looks like the Erastilian who came through year before last got Divine Favor and Prayer as part of the Good domain, said her fourth-circle option was normal. If you're getting it from Law and the same pattern holds you'd be looking at... Order's Wrath, pretty handy if you're fighting demons, but you might need to be careful about not tagging Jefto."

"And Thall."

Nod. "Think it'll be less of an issue with him, from what I know Jefto's more likely to be getting up in close quarters with the demons, but it's still a good idea to be tracking his position so you don't blast him by mistake."

Nod.

"Anything else you wanted to run by me before dawn?"

"Not that I can think of."

Then she's off to wake up and brief more people!

And before long, it's dawn.

Is he fourth? He doesn't know how the weird shit with Minagho (status report: weird shit with Minagho, no idea what Ser Vhane is doing, etc.) counts for that.

He is! There's his fourth-circle slot, there's his domain slot—

—there, if he looks, is a new trick that's a little like a domain power but not quite—

...is that a side effect of the weird thing yesterday? Can he tell what it does? His domain options feel like - that's Order's Wrath like Anevia said, and the other one feels like a souped-up mega-Qualm? He'll take the mega-Qualm, it's more appropriate for cultists and with the demons stunned and the wardstone up he expects the balance to be higher on cultists if he winds up fighting today - and Mark of Justice, and some Stone Shapes...

More than anything else, it feels like channeling the power of Lariel's sword, with Lariel himself standing beside him. He could draw on it to heal one of his allies, as Lariel healed his sole ally who did not betray him; he could draw on it to strike a blow against a foe, as Blai struck against Savamelekh with Lariel's sword. In either case, it would have roughly the strength of a Cure Serious Wounds or corresponding Inflict, and enough range to hit anyone he'd be able to reach with a Bless, though only for a single target at a time.

Unlike Lariel's sword does it come with usage per day limitation information that sounds really really useful. He has once or twice had cause to guiltily miss spontaneous Inflict ability even though it is ideal for leadership and long term efficacy to have healing on tap instead.

Anyway. Same orisons. Two Blesses seems like good practice but only one Weapons Against Evil today, and an Air Bubble, and a... Forbid Action or a Command... Forbid Action. And... one Communal Protection from Evil, good to have when there could be a succubus any moment, Bursts of Radiance are great, and... Delay Poison, better to have it and not need it...

Also he hopes that the spiritual counseling of the Chelish Baphometan went okay.

It feels... like the sort of thing with limited uses? It does not have a convenient label for exactly how many it has.
