I shifted my focus again. I searched the crowd for Professor Finch herself. Hoping the bride would be visible somewhere among all this display. And I kept one eye on Flurry's fixed stare, wondering what strange thing had caught his attention this time.


Ah. I knew I was forgetting something. Professor Finch has sequestered herself with her bridesmaids to prepare for her walk down the isle and will only emerge when it is time for the wedding.

Haha, no worries at all! Viktor is just putting his laser focus on those three things. If the bride is sequestered away, then he wouldn't be able to see her anyway!

I raised my hand. The sapphire gems in my arcane glove began to glow softly. I spoke a few quiet words. The golden channels that connected the gems pulsed with light. The air shimmered in front of me. A cat appeared. Not a real one. An image made of light and magic. It was whimsical and strange. Its grin was too wide. Its body faded in and out like smoke. Its tail curled in impossible spirals.

"But perhaps you'd like to follow the kitty instead?" I suggested.


I cast Silent Image here, made sure to check a used spell slot.

Regarding the noble family the Everhearts are allied with, did you have anything thought up for them or would you have me provide something of my own creation for them?

Alrighty then. I'll think something up.

By the way, is there a reason why Viktor decided to bring Flurry back himself rather than hire someone to cast Raise Dead?

Well in a story where necromancy is really central, I feel like true resurrection spells would be really rare. And also Raise Dead is a 5th level spell. I don't think it would be common even if resurrection spells were common in the setting.

Also, I wouldn't like teleportation magic to be very avaialble, feel like this would crash with the trains. (And I hate it in Critical Role when they just teleport to palces lol, I love the journey).

While they are rare, they aren't so rare as to be beyond the reach of wealthy, well-connected nobility like the Everhearts. I think I have an idea on how to keep this story making sense though, so don't worry too much about it. I just wanted to make sure you didn't have any explanations in place before I implemented my own.

Trains would still have their place even with teleportation. Many such spells can only send so many things. And low-end teleportation spells can even be harmful. So you needn't worry about Professor Finch's Arcane Locomotives becoming obsolete when you're thinking about how to get around.

Can I roll Perception to see what Flurry is looking at? With advantage if Lady Agnes helps?


You can roll Perception, but not with advantage. You would have had disadvantage due to distance from what Flurry is fixated on and the crowded nature of the area, but Lady Agnes can negate that with the Help action.

An 8 is enough to glean something useful from actual recent events.

Back before the confusions set in, Aldric was a very easy person to like. He was well liked by the public, and he was especially well liked by his friends. Andraste Amastacia and Durwith Bronzebeard being two such friends.

After the confusions set in, the public was deeply saddened by news of his deteriorating mental state. And the people who had to see it for themselves found it especially upsetting. Especially among those who were friends of his prior to the confusion.

It is entirely possible that it simply pained the founders to see someone they've known as a friend for close to a century in the state that Aldric is in.

If you wanted to use your Inspiration to try for a better result on the History check, you are free to do so.

Also, could I get a Wisdom saving throw from Viktor, please?
