Ramona: In Bedlam

It seems we're in Bedlam.

I'm not entirely certain it's a good idea. On the one hand, this group of Paladins does seem to be rather under-equipped, if any of the glimpses I've managed to get of their enemies are accurate.

On the other hand, if they've truly demolished the seer, it's possible that the aboleth are shutting the gates, manning the walls, and bracing for a massive assault. The time they spend out here may be all the more time their enemies have to gather their forces, and they may find themselves fighting the three remaining aboleth altogether, rather than the one at a time that has given them so much success.

Which, for me, raises the simple question: how far am I going to take this? For that matter, how far with Umberlee allow me to take this?

She is none too happy about the aboleth, certainly. But if they were to pull in, abandon the vast majority of her seas and stop trying to take away her control, she may very well consider them defeated. In that case, she may not look too keenly on my risking my life (her life, really. It's not mine anymore) for a defeated enemy. I've managed to keep her appeased this long, it would be a shame to die now. And to die because I wanted to get myself killed doesn't make any sense at all.

Though she does like vengeance. So I suppose it depends on her mood at the moment.

A single aboleth, though, she would almost certainly approve. Easy targets are her favorite.

Either way, I suppose it's in her hands. I'll help the paladins as long as I'm able, and when I'm not, well, I hope they'll do well enough on their own.

This is their fight, after all. I'm sure the gods that chose them, strange though their sense of humor may be, chose them for a reason.

I hope that will be enough.
