It's really fucking creepy how Pilar's brain just thinks this crap like it's her own fucking thoughts.

Her curse probably feels sorry about that, too, because it is very Stupid Good, but this is important.

What the fuck is up with this whole 'you're Lawful and therefore you have to keep to this agreement you didn't actually make at any point', huh?

It's how god-agreements can work, sometimes.

Pilar is not a god.

Hasn't she learned anything from Keltham?  Dath ilani aren't gods, but they can sometimes decide to behave like them.

And if Pilar doesn't choose to act like a god, well, her curse probably won't be trying to do things like this again in the future.

Pilar doesn't scream, but it takes an effort.  She is, no doubt, nowhere near the level of sheer seething hatred that the Grand High Priestess must have accumulated for Chaotic Good, but Pilar sure isn't dawdling along that road.

She thinks.

She decides.

Pilar walks over to the most impressive-looking inn security, and uses Message this time.  "I have a Crown security issue that needs to be escalated as quickly as possible.  Point me or escort me to the nearest state Security who can escalate me further immediately.  Do not talk about this afterwards."

The man raises his eyes, then grabs her arm and Dimension Doors. 

They're at a palace security checkpoint, now, just outside the Forbiddance.

"FREEZE, DON'T RESIST", someone instructs them instantly, and casts Hold Person; the man makes a face as though it's taking him a lot of effort to let the spell touch him, but he does permit it. 

The Hold Person is powerful enough Pilar couldn't really throw it off if she wanted to.

Well, Pilar won't say anything then, but she will think very loudly that, first of all, most people are not authorized to read her mind, and second, that she has an issue for immediate escalation to the Grand High Priestess, also somebody needs to note down which inn they just came from because Pilar doesn't know that.

Message repeats.

Palace Security dismisses the spell after a couple very fast exchanges. "Kid says she urgently needs to be escalated higher," the retired adventurer said. "You want me to keep escorting her, or do you have it from here."

"We have it from here. This is classified, don't speak of it to anyone."

"Yeah, yeah."

"What was the name of that inn?"

"Skymetal Sword. Am I allowed to head back, I'm on duty."

"No," Security says flatly.

Message:  Need to escalate to Grand High Priestess, time-sensitive.

"Right, come with me."

And they can hurry to the Grand High Priestess's office, where the Grand High Priestess is not, because she's in Ostenso.

"Do you recognize me as a person of interest," Pilar says to the Grand High Priestess's emotionless secretary who is widely believed to be actually a devil.

"Yes. The Grand High Priestess is not here."

"I either need personal control of a Crown intelligence issue, including the ability to consult Crown intelligence about actions that best serve Lord Asmodeus's interests and the ability to direct Security accordingly, or I need somebody to assume command of this issue whom the Grand High Priestess trusts to deal with deranged fucking god-agreements."

The secretary, at this, pulls out a mirror and contacts the Grand High Priestess.

"Talk," Aspexia Rugatonn says on recognizing Pilar.  Nothing need be said about 'I assume this is urgent'; it obviously is.

A surrounding silence has obviously already been cast at this point.

"Curse directed me to where I now expect an incoming Osirian adventuring party who's heard of the cake girl to try to kidnap me.  Curse doesn't want them hurt, curse said it trusted me, and appealed to my Lawfulness, and told me to act like a god, and said it won't do this again if I don't.  I can serve Lord Asmodeus's interests as much as I want so long as I don't do anything my curse hates, like getting the Osirians caught and tortured, which to be clear I would be incredibly comfortable with -"

"What do you request?"  Aspexa Rugatonn interrupts; she doesn't need to be told that Pilar is loyal.

Rugatonn can see what she'd do, but if Pilar hasn't also seen it independently, she cannot entrust Pilar with doing it independently.

"I need direction on whether to obey this bargain that I never actually made.  If no, I'll give the data to Security.  If yes, I either need somebody else who understands deranged Chaotic Good curses to assume command over me and this issue, or I need authorization to control it myself.  I prefer the former."
