After returning to Baldur's Gate from her eight day sojourn in Candlekeep, Priestess Aeili would quickly find her hands full with a new set of problems brought to her by the elves of Doron Amar.

For several hours through the night of the 15th of Flamerule Aeili would be meditating silently before the altar. She finally concluded her devotion at the break of dawn by sprinkling copious amounts of Holy Water upon the altar, which was immediately followed with the ten-minute casting of a Communion spell, during which time her body emanated a soft blue glow, and halos of divine energy circled her hands and head.
The following, clear and concise questions emerged from her lips during her communion, although whatever audible answers there were, if any, remained in the confines of her own mind. For now.
Commune- Caster level 17, so up to 17 questions
"Lady of Mysteries, has Elyssa Symbaern magic loss been caused, directly or indirectly, by Shar's unholy power?"
"Lady of Mysteries, has Elyssa Symbaern's magic loss been caused by exposure to the Plane of Shadow without Shar's whole and complicit involvement at all?"
"Lady of Mysteries, can Elyssa Symbaern's magic loss be restored with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, will Telia Santrager, Neela Daren and I have enough combined power to restore Elyssa Symbaern's magic loss with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, shall another three clergy give us enough combined power to restore Elyssa Symbaern's magic loss with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, has Viridiana Lydhaer's affliction and memory loss been caused, directly or indirectly, by Shar's unholy power?"
"Lady of Mysteries, has Viridiana Lydhaer's affliction and memory loss been caused by exposure to the Plane of Shadow without Shar's whole and complicit involvement at all?"
"Lady of Mysteries, can Viridiana Lydhaer's affliction and memory loss be restored with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, will Telia Santrager, Neela Daren and I have enough combined power to restore Viridiana Lydhaer's affliction and memory loss with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, shall another three clergy give us enough combined power to restore Viridiana Lydhaer's affliction and memory loss with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, has Talindra Nightstar, now also named Lorna Haldas, affliction, memory loss and change of identity been caused, directly or indirectly, by Shar's unholy power?"
"Lady of Mysteries, has Talindra Nightstar, now also named Lorna Haldas, affliction, memory loss and change of identity been caused only by exposure to the Plane of Shadow without Shar's whole and complicit involvement at all?"
"Lady of Mysteries, can Talindra Nightstar, now also named Lorna Haldas, affliction and memory loss be restored with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, will Telia Santrager, Neela Daren and I have enough combined power to restore Talindra Nightstar, now also named Lorna Haldas, affliction, memory loss and change of identity with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, shall another three clergy give us enough combined power to restore Talindra Nightstar, now also named Lorna Haldas, affliction, memory loss and change of identity with Mystran Magefire?"
"Lady of Mysteries, do we need the direct and additional involvement of your spiritual Mother, Selune, in order to overcome all of the above matters?"

DM Pun Pun wrote:A glowing ball of light appears before Aeili and hovers
The glowing orb communicated Mystra's will to the priestess with a display chromatic variation of glowing lights: light blue, dark blue, bright white, dark grey and even green.
DM Pun Pun wrote:After the last question, the ball swirled in the air before taking off towards the ceiling where it erupted into a harmless starburst of colorful lights.
Aeili immediately rose and began to cast a Sending spell for Elyssa Symbaern.

It has been quite a few days of inactivity in the temple. Priestess Aeili has been spending most of her time away in Halbazzer's laboratory, only popping back on the odd occasion to collect something she has forgotten. On one such visit, a neatly rolled parchment is deposited with Lady Neela, bearing Aeili's usual sign and seal, addressed for none other than Priestess Telia Santraeger.

A missive arrived for 'Priestess Aeili Azenci' from Doron Amar, sealed with red wax stamped with an espruar 
rune, decorated in a field.

The sun elf priestess has been incredibly reclusive of late, not even being seen in the streets of the city or even making her usual rounds to Sorcerous Sundries to conduct research or collect spell components for the temple. Some might wonder if she is even anywhere on the Sword Coast at all with how self-isolating she has become in the last few tendays.

Rumours circulate around the temple that one of their priestesses is sick, and currently laid up in the Blade & Stars Inn. It is not known if she takes visitors, but two elves were seen entering the inn today and leaving again a number of hours later.

The wizard Charraj was seen entering the Blade & Stars Inn with Aeili. Some time later, he was seen leaving the Inn and heading to the temple of Mystra.
Once inside, he approaches Neela and asks her about how to join the temple as a priest.

The last weeks, a man dressed in fine clothes have been seen frequenting the Temple of Mystra in Baldur's Gate. He usually seats down on the benches and stays there for a long time, sometimes with the eyes closed, as he was praying. Rumours say that this man is part of a family of merchants, in which wizards are majority.
Today this man, dressed in fullplate and blue cloak, has entered the temple with worry reflected on his face and sweat dropping from it. He has asked for some aid and guidance of the clergy in a matter that concerns him. NO more details have been given.
// Please, contact me IG (nick is freekender, as here on the forums) or send me a PM on the forums. I don't know the functioning of the temple guild, so I'm not completely sure who is the more suitable to contact with

During a round of light temple duties, Aeili would have heard of the visitor from Lady Neela. Given that the fellow was either unwilling or unable to share any further details with the High Priestess, the ill Mystran simply leaves the matter for Lady Neela or perhaps priestess Telia to deal with for the moment.

A rolled scroll was left with Lady Neela in the Temple, addressed for Telia the next time she happened by the Temple during her duties, accompanied by the report that the sun elf had made a journey to Doron Amar about some important matter.

Hoppy Toadmeadow, avowed within the Church is said to have returned bearing tales of Cormyrnthan pie recipies, infused with her magical energy. Several priests robes were ruined.
She excitedly inquires about rumors within the church and between mouthfuls of apricot pie, kicking her feet in the air as she seems to describe some kind of cooking contest she took part in before pausing and asking "Hey, where is Aeili?"
Shortly after a blur of color is seen running out of the church and the city with unnatural haste

Hoppy would have been notified that the sun elf was last seen in the company of Viridiana of Doron Amar before teleporting away. She has not returned yet; perhaps she could go there and fetch some news?

Hoppy is seen placing poster's as least discreetly as she can get away with around the Church of Mystra.

The man who came to the temple some days ago in seek of guidance reads the announcement and immediately opens his eyes in surprise. He hurries to the temple and offers his help in whichever way he could aid. And me asking for help, in a moment the temple is passing a difficult time, he adds. Please, accept my most sincere apologies. Gómez de Aguirre is my name, he says with a bow of his head. Please, let me know if I can aid you. After some more words sincerely offering his help and with another bow of his head, he sits on a bench in the temple and starts praying.
