Back at High Hall (session 19 or 32)

Dear Nori,
I hope you are still doing ok. We’re back at the Maze and things seem to work out here. I would invite you (and everyone at Shiara’s market) to come and live here, but I’m pretty sure Clove Ikaya wouldn’t want you to. I can’t imagine him wanting to lose more hellriders (or just innocent victims). If everyone tries to leave it will probably be a massacre. And we convinced Ravenguard to send food and water to the market at least once a week, so everyone should be fine. When Ravenguard agreed, I tried to hug him but his guards didn’t waste any time to stand between us. He really doesn’t like hugs. Must be a fun guy to live with. However, he did make us honorary Flaming fist. So he's not too bad. He just doesn't want to show it.
When I said things seem to be working out, I mean everything. I already told you they brought Lulu back in my previous letter. Freya Jinx also prepared the ritual to bring Fenrir back. Everyone of us had a task to do. Leo had to read from the Creed, concentrating on it and not stop. No matter what happened. Ron had to hold the sword, and I assume it had something to do with spellcasting. Bertha supported the ritual, infusing it with magic by playing music. I had to make sure Fenrir (and the rest of us) were safe by destroying whatever came out of him. Which sounds weird enough, yet somehow I didn’t expect him to start hovering. We were standing on a pentagram and I wasn’t sure whether or not I could leave my spot. I kinda fucked up the protecting job. The glowing orbs that left Fenrir were fast and I was kinda distracted by Fenrir, so I don’t think I actually killed any. But we all survived, so it didn’t really matter. Next time I should ask what to expect and if I can leave my spot. Yes, I say next time because I’m pretty sure Fenrir would do it again if it’s necessary (or if he thinks it maybe might be necessary). He seems pretty determined to become a martyr. I hope he will soon realise he doesn’t have to die to be a hero.
After these happy moments Ron kept to himself in his room. He said it was because he had to study some spells, but I’m pretty sure he also didn’t want to show his emotions. Kinda weird, since we all know he was happy to see Lulu and Fenrir in good health once again. I wonder why he doesn’t want us to know he has emotions, but at the same time I feel like I’ll offend him if I ask. Maybe his grandmother knows. She didn’t seem ashamed of showing love and pride towards him. I should ask her some time.
Do you remember I wrote about the bandits in Symbrils house? Back when we met them we didn’t want to deal with them. Or rather, we thought it would be better if we didn’t deal with them. I’m not sure how or why, but somewhere between reaching High hall and returning to it everyone's opinion about it changed. Well, technically speaking, my opinion didn’t change, but for some reason, everyone now agreed with me. So we brought justice to the bandits, brought their leader back to the maze and we found Onthar Vroem (who we’ve been for since Shiara’s market, the saddlebag had a delivery for him) in the basement.
In the maze we also went back to the guy who drew the barely readable map. We promised him some magic mushroom for his (shitty) services, but apparently we brought the wrong ones. I’d say that would be a fair price, but for some reason Leo offered his (good!) tobacco as a thank you. Maybe Leo really doesn’t know how bad the map was. Anyway, I think that tobacco is way more valuable than whatever this guy can offer us, and I convinced him the tobacco was bad and that I should take it instead. Then he offered me to do shrooms together. Leo would babysit us because "you always need a sober friend". I bailed as soon as he was too high to notice. I kinda feel like Leo thought I am into this guy although I’m not sure why he would care. He didn't seem that interested in my life before.
Fenrir spent a few days with his uncle and I joined Ron on another trip to the wizard tower. Then we all went to the southern bridge, since the food and water should pass the cliffs somewhere. It was broken, but not so broken it couldn't be fixed. I assume we will go to Shiara's market soon. Hopefully you've had enough time to process things and we can make up for a bit.
We've seen Taxidorm again! He planeshifted back to Avurnus! And he brought some more hellriders. It did take them quite a while to get here again, but then again, he had to find a new piece of hellmetal since he lost the piece Lulu gave him. That can not have been easy. But now he's here he can start evacuating people. I'm not sure how often he can planeshift, and I assume he can't bring everyone back before Elturel sinks into the Styx, but starting to evacuate can't hurt, right? Maybe he can also bring supplies, if necessary. Yes, seeing Taxidorm makes me quite hopeful.
Oh! I almost forgot to tell you about the visions! Like I wrote before, Thorms helmet is supposed to give the wearer visions. So while he was unconscious, Fenrir has seen things. Most of it was of Zariels charge into Avernus. Which is interesting, but I’m not sure how knowing her generals were called lord Olianthus, lord Aruman and lady Yael is gonna help us. The useful thing he learned is that Zariels sword can sever the chains holding Elturel. And that it is the key to her heart. Lulu is the only one who knew where it is. But she has (probably) forgotten it. Luckily the voice he heard also told him the Kenku at Fort Knucklebone could help her remember. And for some reason, the devil's also want to know where the sword is (maybe to win Zariels favour? It probably can’t hurt to have the key to your boss’s heart).
I think that's everything.
Hopefully I’ll see you soon,
As always, stay safe and stay strong,
Your loving sister,
Caja
