I DID IT

[a minute later]

wait let me email the others too hang on

[and a few minutes later]

[Email: Duncan, Lera, Harriet]

SO UH a bit of backstory since Chief didn't get it all, Nyx sent me a superstoned branch from the undertow to experiment with and we managed to depetrify it without needing to get rid of the superstoning first

WE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS THING

[after this response]

[Dragonmail: Rhys Elena]

I'm the Vohu. I can fix the Undertow.

Long story short: I spent the last day and a half learning how to undo it but only just found out the druids hadn't told anyone it could actually be undone.

[signed Vohu Malachai bc 'Vohu' is way better than 'Captain' 8)
and then he signs Malachai Brampton underneath because this is kind of serious (okay a lot serious)]

[he stares at this for a while. Malachai. Malachai really. the last thing he said to Rhys was that Medena was better company than him before never writing again. apparently Medena was in agreement.]

[they asked for someone responsible. someone who would maybe he would understand he's the Vohu and it's his job to tell other leaders things not his druids. how does he not know what's going on in his own guild?! none of this bodes well.]

[right now, he needs to focus on the Undertow and not give Mal some flippant reason to refuse or be stubborn. sry Mal he does not trust your professionalism.]

How soon?

[it's signed The Ahura]

[The signature makes him 8|]

As soon as you can be ready. This afternoon, if that's not too soon.

We've already been successful on a branch Nyx had sent over. It will take a lot of druids to manage something as wide-scale as the entirety of the Undertow, though.

[*he wrote the above directly to The Vohu and this one directly to Malachai Brampton (with a more formal "The Vohu" under the actual addressing) because he needs to be sure they are, in fact, the same person. it's not impossible to think someone found out about Mal as an old friend and is abusing that.]

I can be there anytime, but I need to get healers together for the wounded.

I'll pass the message along to the scouts. You can get set up without them interfering.

[he didn't sign it himself last time. he doesn't again, so same signature.]

[andlivefreely]

[okaaaay Mal's a little confused by the different addressing? this level of paranoia is not something he's aware of]

I told Chief it'd be as soon as possible so he'll probably be able to get you healers easily. [he just assumes Rhys knows who the Vahishta is] He's pretty eager to see it done.

We'll leave as soon as it's done so we're not in the way or anything.

[brokencrescendo]

[he already told Nyx and Duncan. hm.]

That's for the best. Most of them there still think we're in a battle with the druids, and a lot of them are hunters. It's going to take some explaining.
