Virgil sighs, “Ayala. Centuries ago, our ancestor made a pact with it. Magical power for eternal service. When we die, we work for it. Stopping catastrophes before they ever happen, executing threats to humanity, preventing anything that would cause humanity to deviate from the path of survival and growth. I was researching a method to get out of that deal. It decided to stop that.”

Sarai is watching this exchange closely for clues about the relationship between these two. She suspects she should feel worse than she does about the number of times Virgil has died, if he is, in fact, Imani’s father. Or maybe they don’t like each other?

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.

The frog definitely laid an egg that Imani hatched from.

Imani nods. "But why? The City- or Ayala, I guess- has been nothing but useful. Obviously it's not a contract in that we're entered into it without our consent, but I would have died ten different ways without it. Plus, it sounds like it just wants to keep cities from falling apart. Why break it off?"
Imani nods, satisfied for now. "Alright, yeah. I think I understand that." She looks at Virgil for the first time. "But no more secrets- no more tricks. All of this information could have been useful, and quite frankly, dad, you don't have the time to play games here."
She looks around at the others. "And speaking of time, we're running low ourselves. Dream is going to kill one of the servants tonight- I have every confidence in her abilities. But the others have been crashing into us each evening like clockwork. Caster, can you make sure the tower is secure? Sarai, find a vantage point, and take the frog so we can stay in contact- I want to see what that shiny new toy of yours can do. I'll talk to the City and see what I can see, but Oz- you have that power player program, right? Why don't you get a sense for whoever is nearby- wouldn't hurt to catch them before they catch us."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sarai blinks at New Imani a second, then shrugs. “I’d like to see what it can do, too. You’re with me, pater familias,” she says to Virgil.
She will head up on top of the tower with her rifle and the rest of her gear. Making sure whatever hatch or door is sealed behind her, she will lay down and set up with the rifle, covering herself with a camo blanket and the like.
(Ranger feature Hide in Plain Sight +10 to Stealth: 33)
Then she will extend her senses for one minute, feeling for the unusual creatures that have invaded her city.
(Ranger feature Primeval Awareness to detect any aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead within 6 miles in favored terrain for 1 minute per spell slot level expended. This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’ location or number.)
Then she will have a chat with the night birds in the cemetery, asking them to let her know if anything decidedly weird is coming. Persuasion: 9
Finally, she will keep an old fashioned eye out for trouble. Passive Perception 22. Active Perception check: 8
"Ready to protect the tor, should the need arise." Caster nods, leaning on his staff, and leaves an unnerving gaze on Imani. He stares for far too long to feel comfortable.

Sarai feels the pulse of nature echo out from her position, and then hit two foreign signals. One feels distinctly similar to the Earth, but concentrated. Definitely Elementals. Meanwhile, the second feels dark and out of order. Definitely undead.

Imani cocks an eyebrow at Caster. Then, dipping into the boba tea of mixed powers inside her, she opens her clairvoyance and attempts to better understand the mage servant.
Sarai talks to Virgil without taking her eyes of the approaches to the tower. "Tell your boss daughter that I can sense elementals of the earth, and undead, within 6 miles, but no direction or exact distance. We should remain watchful."

"Damn it." Imani growls, then calls over to the others. "Sarai says she senses earth elementals and undead. I freaking told you that necromantic psychopath was still alive."
Assassin sighs, “If she’s still alive, then how does that change our plans?” She yawns, “Devil we know, or devil we don’t, they all sleep at some point...”
