"It's not a perfect solution - I'm not as strong as I used to be, my ki is a little less responsive, and I don't think I could take nearly as many hits. I wouldn't want to fight anyone on my level like this if I could help it. But I'm pretty sure I can do instant transmission, and there are a lot of fights out there I can get into that aren't in my league. Relatively soon I'd like some time in an empty demiplane to get some training in, if a better solution isn't inbound, but I don't expect it to be urgent on the scale of days."

They'd like to cast a mind blank on her, and then see what she can do to help with teleportation logistics for them and other Good churches. There are a couple experiments worth trying with regards to her ability to power magic, but while the two of them are some of Lastwall's best mages neither one has a lot of experience with Limited Wish, so they're waiting on a specialist to be free.

"What, exactly, is a Mind Blank?"

"A sorcerer's answer to their own inadequacy. They cannot defeat a psychic in mental combat, so instead, they don't fight them at all; rather than blocking the powers by main force, they blind the psychic so that they cannot see what they're doing." He smirks, then. "Of course, just because you can't see in detail what you're messing with doesn't mean you can't effect it, just makes it harder to be more precise. Against a skilled enough opponent, all that a mind blank offers the sorcerer in question is a false sense of security in their own defenses against mind control. Your shields are already good enough to keep me out; their efforts are good for their own reassurance, and little else."

"That description is, essentially speaking, accurate, and it is indeed reassuring that the bonus to Will saves versus mind effecting spells is unneeded. But Mind Blank, or at least Golarion's formulation thereof, has one additional benefit - it also blocks out all manner of scrying, search spells, and other divinations, most notably including the method by which Wish determines which person is the one specified. Someone under the effect of a Mind Blank, therefore, cannot be kidnapped via wish at all, and most methods of information gathering fail outright in a way uninformative to the caster."

Dazarel actually looks somewhat impressed by that. It's definitely begrudging, but compared to the amount of disdain he usually holds for people in general and especially people other than Kakara, it's readily noticeable.

"Your 'wizards' are significantly more capable than our local counterparts on that score, then. Perhaps this isn't a total waste."

If Dazarel is willing to agree with Lastwall on this, that means it's either really bad news about Lastwall or good news about the spell, and she's pretty sure she has a good enough grasp on both of them to know if either was trying to deceive her and is basically certain about Dazarel. She'll agree to a Mind Blank.

A Mind Blank doesn't feel like anything, from the inside. It has no impact on sensing outwards, does not interfere with her telepathy, and does not block her own sight moving forward or backwards. It is also simultaneously exceedingly obvious to her senses, like viewing the world through non prescription glasses. It's unlikely to interfere with her accomplishing anything, but it does feel very weird.

Looking at herself with the sight is slightly more difficult for Kakara than looking at something else, but yup, that sure does seem to be a mental protection spell. She'll get used to it inside the hour, probably.

"If that's everything, I think the next priority was my assisting with some logistics?"

Yep! They just have to walk back outside the forbiddance, and then they can Plane Shift back to Golarion.

"If you'd like, I could handle that part. You seem to have a limit on how many Plane Shifts you get a day, but Instant Transmission doesn't have that kind of limitation."

They hadn't actually been expecting Instant Transmission to be able to do that, but yeah, if she can just bring them back to Vigil that'd be great.

Her fingers rise to her forehead.

Pop.

When Lastwall reached out to all of its alliance partners at the worldwound and offered to take over the hard part of their logistics, most of them were politely skeptical. It's not that they didn't believe Lastwall when they talked about good faith cooperation to ease the burden on the forces willing to sacrifice of themselves to keep the worldwound under control, or that they weren't Lawful enough to leave it in their hands once agreed, but a question of capabilities; the teleport equation is a harsh mistress, and even the longstanding agreements among the various Good churches to share their bags of holding and caches as efficient hadn't managed to do much to overcome it. Once the offer was given at just over half the going rate - with option to scale up their present orders at the new price - and a promise to glomarize any information they found out about how it was done, though, they got a lot more interested in accepting.

And so was is that rather than merely providing transportation for Lastwall and Mendev, Kakara was instead given a hastily assembled list of pictures, descriptions, and map markings for staging points, warehouses, and target fortresses for every church from Abadar to Milani.

She can't instant transmission off images or maps and can only partly fake it with the Sight, but that's much less of an issue when you can form a ki bubble around you to let you break the sound barrier over your knee without anything so crass as a sonic boom. It might have been a different matter if she'd had to slow down to carry the large crates of goods without breaking anything, but thankfully the local bags of holding and portable holes were as useful as capsules for that. If anything, the biggest delay was figuring out who in Vigil had a ring of invisibility they could most afford to spare, which ended up solving itself when Kakara pointed out she could just as easily drop by Nerosyan to pick one up there.

Playing glorified cargo plane for humans might be a bit beneath the dignity of the Scion of House Goku, but she had a hard time caring about that when she was actually on Garenhuld.

Most of the people she delivers to are grateful for it - or at least, grateful for the unlooked-for increase in supplies transported - but more towards Lastwall in general for arranging it rather than her in specific, who they didn't see and don't know exists except in the vague sense that someone or someones working with Lastwall had a breakthrough with supply logistics. Some people speculate they managed to find a way to fit Teleport into a 4th circle slot without giving up almost all the range like Dimensional Door does, while others seem to think the Church of Iomedae received an offer from some wizarding association whose members were at risk of ending up in Hell. Nobody seems to have hit upon the "actually just one really strong alien" hypothesis just yet.

That's fine, she wasn't doing it for the praise and agrees with the strategic logic of why it's not necessarily the best idea to be announcing her presence on Golarion openly to all and sundry just yet. She'll keep an eye out to make sure that Lastwall isn't using their new credit in ways she egregiously disapproves of, but she doesn't expect it of them at this point.

Between the (many) starting locations and destinations, the labor of bagging and unbagging the various supplies, and the handful of times she ended up needing to fly concentric circles around a landmark until she found the fortress they'd mislocated on a map, she's flown and instant transmitted a pretty astonishing distance even by her standards. At the power level she maintained so as to not stress the Mind Blank that protects her from lighting up like a moving beacon to anyone who can sense Ki, it took about an hour.

Wow, that was fast! You might think they would be used to this, what with Teleport being essentially instantaneous, but that just means most of the time sink takes the form of loading and unloading goods, people stopping to chat, mishaps landing you slightly off topic, and the like. An hour would have been moderately surprising even if it was just Teleportation, and once they learned she'd have to fly for a lot of it they'd been steadily incrementing up their estimates for how long it would take.

Is there any chance she feels up for delivering messages too?

Delivering messages sounds fine, actually, but unlike supplies she doesn't just deliver them to an obvious warehouse. As long as it's people who it's not a security risk to know she exists?

Ah, right, that does make it a bit more complicated. How about transporting couriers with messages and having them do the last mile handoff?

It ends up being a little more complicated than the supply runs, what with her needing to Instant Transmission someone else and then wait for them to finish, but not actually especially difficult. All of the mail can reach its intended city of receipt, even the bits not normally high priority enough to merit a Teleport.

And then it will transpire that enough time has passed that they'd like her to try her hand at empowering some magic for them.

"There's actually a lot of potential use cases for it, especially if you can do arbitrary metamagic rather than just strength ala empowering and maximizing," says the unfamiliar wizard standing next to Charles Rochefor, once they're safely ensconced withing a mage's private sanctum and forbiddance located within Lastwall's most secure demiplane, "but what we're really hoping for is you being able to help with Wish."

"I'm not sure how much I can do about that. Wishes... Wishes are hard. The only way I know to reliably do that is-"

"I will not be made a slave!"

"I wasn't going to suggest it! Slavery is an abomination, though that objection is a bit rich, coming from you of all people!"
