[QUOTE="Sollir Furryfoot, post: 1963373, member: 748"] (I assume the "Time Out" doesn't prevent powers from telling how their characters react to the event.) The Arch-Merchant Glu'boise receives a sending from Al'Akbar, seeking the mercane's aid. His ability of foresight allowed him to know that he needed to take a slow pace towards the antechamber where the devil's waited, but it had not warned him as to the specifics-he now knew why. Without breaking his peaceful stride, the epic-level Diviner and Loremaster known to the rest of the multiverse as Glu'boise expends some of his most potent divinations, the tendrils of his magic seeping through the fabric of reality and shredding the boundaries between all layers of the Prime Material Plane. He calculates the results, and depending on what reply he gets from his magicks he does the following: If he is able to find Eclavdra, he will instead send one of his fellow mercanes to deal with the devils and immediately casts [i]Greater Scry[/i] to view Eclavdra's exact position and to gain a viewing of all that surrounds her, followed by a [i]Mass Sending[/i] (as per [i]Sending[/i], but metamagicked to affect up to 35 targets -Glu'boise's level- with one action) to conatct his allies, both hired and tenured. They are given the exact coordinates from Glu'boise they all simultaneously [i]teleport without error[/i] a fair distance from Eclavdra to a safe area (made sure to be safe by a divination from the Mercane, again) that is within viewing range. Should Glu'boise meet Elistraee, he will announce his desire to protect Eclavdra from those who would seek to be turned to evil. He will provide sanctuary for the drow while she is recovering and he will release her should she choose to return to the drow goddess. He gives a persuasive argument on how Elistraee's forces are either now or soon will be attacked by Lord Gallador's forces (as proved by his divinations) and will attempt to assure the goddess that Eclavdra would be safest with him. He cites the clause of the TEC pact, of which Elistraee is not a part of, as further reasoning why he should be given permission to guarantee Eclavdra's protection in one of his safeholds. Should she rebuke him, the Arch-Merchant will ask to simply stand over Eclavdra's spot with his allies to guard her and if denies this he will return to his palace within an instant. If Elistraee doesn't allow him to take Eclavdra with him he will notify Al'Akbar of her location with a [i]Sending[/i]. If allowed, or if he takes her, he will immediately cast [i]Mindblank[/i], [i]Nondetection[/i], [i]Screen[/i], and [i]Sequester[/i] as well as a few other spells of his own devising to protect her from future divinations. (Total of 4 epic PL from Glu'boise with his artifacts and 15 Elite PL as bodyguards) Should his divinations not tell him of Eclavdra's whereabouts he will tell Al'Akbar of it and continue as planned to the antechamber to meet with the devils, making no grand entrance and hiding any excitement or expectation from them.
