"Me! Me me me me me me me! I'm Aivu! I'm with the - Korva, what are we called again?"

Permalink

"The Fifth Mendevian Crusade."

Permalink

"Right! I'm with the Fifth Mendevian Crusade, but the kind where I help Korva and not the kind where I listen to orders, because orders are no fun! I didn't mean to come here, and I'm not really sure who Tar Baphon is!"

Permalink

"...how old are you?"

Permalink

"Do you have...parents."

Permalink

"Everyone has parents, silly. What's that got to do with anything?"

Permalink

"Do your parents know that you are fighting in the, uh, fifth mendevian crusade?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure! Korva, these questions are boring, do they really need to know them?"

Permalink

"They're worried about you, Aivu. Look, guys, I am fully aware that Aivu is five. Have you ever tried telling a Havoc Dragon that they can't crusade against evil."

Permalink

"I can't say it's come up." Who is next?

Permalink

"Paralictor Regill Derenge, Hellknight Order of the Godclaw," says the gnome, severely. "I serve under Lictor Resarc Ountor. By his orders, I march with Knight Commander Tallandria, who is my commanding officer for this mission. Our arrival in your camp was unforeseen and unintentional. Neither the Lictor nor the Knight Commander has shown any indication of being or working for Tar Baphon."

See, that's actually outright reassuring. Except - " Hellknight Order of the Godclaw?"

Permalink

"A former division of the Order of the Pyre, historically tasked with containing the worldwound. We serve the Lawful deities Abadar, Irori, Asmodeus, Iomedae, and Torag, in equal measure."

"...."

 

 

"We...haven't heard of any such order? And. Iomedae's not a god."

 

 

Permalink

"Well, she wouldn't be, in 3824. Nevertheless."

Permalink

 

"What year do you think it is."

Regill pointedly looks at Korva.

There are a lot of different kinds of tricks that this could be, most of which are more likely than time travel. If it is time travel... Well, then it's not also a trap, but then we have to deal with time travel.

I guess I have no reason to expect that I know how time travel works.

"Later. Now, I'm sure we both agree that this is very, very unlikely, but on the sliver of an off chance that neither of us is very confused - about what year it was when we woke up this morning, anyway - can I ask how many people are going to see this report?"

Permalink

" - I'm going to take this straight to the Knight-Commander. Iomedae. Who isn't a god yet."

Permalink

"We appreciate that," says Korva, who has already seen several demons pretending to be Iomedae and honestly can't muster the mental effort to care too much about another right now.

"I guess you wanna ask Arue who she is, then."

Permalink

Right, who does the literal succubus who is obviously a succubus claim she is.

Permalink

"My name is Arueshalae," says the succubus, quietly. "I am a succubus. I follow Desna, who saw fit to give me the chance to be something more than that. I - I fight with the Fifth Mendevian Crusade, under Knight Commander Korva Tallandria."

...all right then. They'll be back shortly, with the requested Raise Dead diamonds and probably a lot more questions. Anyone need anything in the meantime?

Permalink

....no. Not really. Thanks.
