Maybe she lied about her name, and she is saving her father (that was a plot line for a while wasen't it?)

She's still trying to save her father, but, I think, it's been established that his surname is Starshine, as well.

Actually, Roy's girlfriend/lawyer is from the elemental plane of Air. She is an outsider, not a fey.

At this point, I think going with the simplest answer is best: Haley and Belkar are still hiding out in Azure City, sneaking about the back alleys and sewer systems to survive while trying to figure out a way to reunite with the rest of the party, or at worst, find a cleric capable of casting True Resurrection on Roy.

OR they could have been captured while conducting a guerrilla war against Red Coat's army and are now locked up in Azure City's dungeon.

details still... change faerie to plane of air and its still a valid idea right?

well I know climatically it will be something we don't expect, or it will be something that makes for a funny punchline.

Notice how Vaarsuvius has been exclusively trying to scry on Roy and Haley all this time? I'm betting that once V gets desperate enough to try scrying on Belkar, the spell will suddenly be a lot more successful.

Except for the lead plate.

So does anyone think that Kubota's attack will kill enough people that Hinjo can spare a ship?

You know, this entire strip could take place in a single round since talking is a free action. Yay for rules silliness.

I'd honestly be a bit surprised if they hadn't already tried scrying on Belkar. I mean, V is highly intelligent, Durkon is wise, and Elan can come up with completely random and nonsensical ideas. Between the two of them, over three months, you have to think the idea of scrying on Belkar would come up. If you figure 30 days per month, even if V and Durkon each only tried one scrying spell per day, that'd be over 180 different scrying attempts... it'd sort of be foolish to *not* try and find Belkar at least once. And they could certainly have cast many, many more divinations than those 180 - that's if they each only had one free slot per day to devote to finding Roy, Haley, and Belkar.

So, yeah - while its possible that the solution none of them have hit on is to scry on Belkar and not Haley, I'd have to wonder how you explain the intelligent wizard and the wise cleric (and Hinjo, who has half a brain, and his advisers who likely know the situation) not thinking of that after three months. I think the reason that V talks more about finding Haley and doesn't really mention Belkar is because V hates Belkar... but V should still be smart enough to realize that Belkar might show up to scrying when Haley doesn't. And even if Belkar has split away from Haley (or slit her throat and took all her loot), at least that's *some* information.
