Sorry for the delay, having to seriously raion my internet time for technical reasons related to how much I hate my ISP.

Euphrasia's mainly going to be acting on information gathered last week so there is a strong chance she'll continue hanging around the Underworld. Now that she's been clued in to something happening with the Titans in Tartarus that seems most important/relevant.

Editing to add now that I thought about it that once she does get back to the Overworld and gets generally clued in that Hebe seems to be the only god actually doing anything, she's going to want to investigate that group, which I'm going to go bother Jun's player about now. Other than that stuff really depends on wrapping up her info-gathering threads and I'm sorry I've been so slow there (and I wouldn't be averse to a summary of "what she might learn" before playing it out if it makes things easier for you.)

[powersthatmatter]

I hear you - it's been a slow week for me, too, so don't worry about that side of it.

In Hades, she would learn that the particular hole to Tartarus she was by is guarded - on the other side, by Erebus himself. The chasm in the earth above is closed now, but this is the passage through which the Aloadae were flung into Tartarus by Apollo.

Jason will ask her to swear by the Styx to protect his descendant Kosmas, and if she agrees, will tell her that Aeacus, father of Peleus of the Argonauts and one of the Three Judges in the Underworld, would know if anyone would.

Aeacus, in turn, can tell her that Hades and Persephone nearly slumber, and have done so since shortly after someone stole Hades' Helm of Darkness, which lets mortal or immortal pass unseen.

Cool. I think she might be on the hunt for the Helm, then (not necessarily, you know, herself, but I'll work that out ICly). Any clues as to its whereabouts or the perpetrator?

I'll go tag that request for an oath in the affirmative. She was going to go bother Kosmas anyway.

And we can play out the conversation with Aeacus in her Underworld thread if you think that's a good idea.

[powersthatmatter]

No clues yet - and I'm fine either playing that threat or handwaving it, as you prefer?

[awitchdidit]

Yeah let's just handwave that and save time, I think. It's mostly just combining information Euphrasia had from the start with information everybody got from the Olympus and Underworld logs.
