"She swore not to use any of her spells within the region covered by the intervention budget agreements."

"That would be valid, except for the part where mortals can't meaningfully do that."

Permalink

"This one can."

"Where do we get those?"

"Ask Aspexia Rugatonn. Speaking of which, can we all agree that this isn't her?"

Permalink

"Yes."

Permalink

"So the anomaly related to a possible utility-flipper beyond known reality is resolved?"

"Not the matter before the court. I'll get it taken care of in the next thousand time units, though.

"If there are no objections, the Lady Iomedae will pay the cost of one Miracle and the petitioner will be returned to her point of death alive."

—and she's back in Heaven. She tries to Gate to dath ilan almost immediately.

Nope. According to Nethys, dragging this out is actually key to the final defeat of Asmodeus, without which Civilization will predictably destroy Golarion, but Athpechya can't be told that.

False Death leaves the subject conscious and able to hear, which is a useful espionage capability if your enemy doesn't know about it.

...and isn't dath ilan, where they do not talk about important secrets in a random hospital room, not because they expect that the apparently catatonic patient can hear them and is also secretly their enemy, but simply because there is no reason to do so. Nonetheless, there is a senior Keeper there in case 'Athpechya' wakes up and has been corrupted by an unknown infohazard, and he's getting some level of updates on the broader situation.

Abrogail Teleported into the middle of a public building, because of course she did, and was immediately shot dead. They're doing something that Aspexia would analogize as casting a permanent Gentle Repose on her corpse, which they do to everyone because they don't have afterlives and plan to resurrect everyone one day, once they figure out how to do that.

—they're preparing to do it to Aspexia, and are holding off only because she doesn't, actually, appear to be getting any closer to death. They're quite confused about that fact. Something they believe is false, but they're not yet sure what.

When the False Death wears off, there's a man waiting to ask her a series of questions intended as a sort of personality checksum, to ensure she hasn't been corrupted by contact with the hostile conceptualmagic user.

Permalink

She probably would have at least made it to the next round if she hadn't tried to answer as a Lawful Good version of herself.

Permalink

The Keeper doesn't even need to tell the nurse to start sedating her.

Permalink

She Infernal Heals herself and tries to Plane Shift back to Golarion. She can come back for Abrogail later.

Permalink

She is able, eventually, to use the Miracle to Teleport to the location of Abrogail's body.

—she breaks open the cryo pod.

Resurrection.

"I'm guessing from your expression and all the alarms going off that we haven't much time?"

In which case you shouldn't waste it with stupid questions.

Saying this would be even stupider, though.

"Do you know what I meant by it, in the depths of my heart, when I pledged my loyalty to Asmodeus?"
