Editing Talking to Trees (section)

==Heading Back==
We start flying back towards the capital.

Stella's uncle Carlo calls her - apparently he is a priest of Jord!  We request a feasibility study.   Stealing someone from Middlesea is something Jord might be able to help with.     The Guild might be calling an election soon, so many people are done.   He'll think about it and see if anyone has taken a serious look at it. 

We are hit by a yellow surge of darkness just as Scout appears;  Hmm.  We persist, and it wears off after an hour.

We make it back to the priests, and we check in with them.  Fire giant, huh.  Okay.  

We head back to the capital.  “Let’s not go to the palace, okay?” asks Scout.  People seem puzzled, but Scout continues “Because the Maharani will ask us ‘AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?’, and she’s terrifying.”

Vidan gets a note as we approach the capital.   “There was a wave of assassinations in the Ministry of Redactions.  The high priest of Tam, Sai Ko Ti, put together a ritual that revealed a bunch of the half-orcs in the capital, and they’ve either fled or been killed.  He’s hopeful that the immediate danger from the half-orcs is under control, but the Ministry of Ramifications thinks that alerting you to the ongoing half-orc problem is probably helpful. ”  A note thanks him for his efforts to direct Victoria in Red against the orcs rather than against Purple.

Vidan replies: “We did encounter half-orcs in Red, but none in Yellow thus far.  We had success using the Ministry of Lilac’s tinctures to detect half-orcs.”

We tell Seph, the Blue mage, about the fire giant; he thinks he’s not doing anything about that.
