I am also trying to think of a way to have several weeks pass.  I think now that a devastation orb has gone off that has some very interesting RP considerations for fledgling mid-high level PCs and NPCs.  People in high places in cities that rely on this region for trade will want to make sure the area is secure.  More importantly, everyone who thinks about armies and city states and such will take notice that someone has the capability to produce weapons that can take down a fortification inside of 15 minutes and the will to use it.  I'm thinking advance parties for armies are going to show up within a few weeks.  Then armies themselves.  Heroes might be thinking how to prevent more of these things from being made or used.  Generals and kings (and especially would be kings) will be thinking "how do I get my hands on one?"  So I'm thinking Yarsha isn't that interested in being number two in the earth cult.  She wants to delay the cult's goals and focus more on producing and selling devastation orbs.  Bringing chaos to the Dessarin Vale is small potatoes.  Making a fortune while exporting chaos to the world is where it's at.</blockquote>
