In which our heroes ...

Imre and Alynna discuss fate and destiny. Imre tries to convince Alynna
to not stay here when we leave.
There's a lot of discussion as to what we could do to help the downtrodden
before leaving.
After much discussion, Alynna goes to brief her brother. She brief him
as best as she can, and gets some details on his plans to start the revolution.
They seem to have some preparation and infrastructure, but Haeraan's Tactics
roll thinks it would be a very hard fight, and while possible, unlikely
to succeed.
Coran Maas comes to brief Oathar. He says the Loremasters think that
we are from a parallel universe, and if we go back, our universes are
unlikely to connect again. Unless we leave or take something significant,
in which case they would stay somehow connected and allow the universes
to reconnect potentially.
Imre goes and talks to his "mother" about if she wants to go
back with us during the ritual, or perhaps get teleported out or something.
We finally decide to take both Imre's mother and Alynna's brother, loot
the treasury, and flee this place.
We do the ritual! We exchange places with ourselves, only to find that
as we step out of the light, we have both Imre mothers here.
Oh dear. The room starts squooging and swirling. There's a shimmering
in the air between the two of them. Reality starts shaking and bulging.
Imre tackles Good Mom and drags her to the Santa Vallandra teleporter,
but of course, it's been drained by the ritual.
Then the place starts bulging and queesing, and shaking, so Imre uses
the last of his powerpoints to teleport his Good mom randomly off to the
mainland.
Evil mom is scandalized, "Imre! You're trying to replace me!"
Imre gets a look of horror on his face and teleports out. Oh dear.
She storms out. Around this time, the mob breaks into the Villa. "There
they are! Get them!"
Oathar shouts for his wife. They say he killed her! Hearing this, Oathar
is shocked and teleports to the palace in Eidolon to look for her!
Haeraan manages to get the crowd to not destroy us all until Coran Maas
arrives. Meanwhile, Coran Maas has "captured" Oathar, and tells
him that his wife is OK. Oathar slumps down in his chair and asks Coran
Maas to go rescue teh villa. He sends a guy with a seal to deal with it.
Imre and his good mom shiver in the cold hoping to survive into the morning
when Imre gets his power points back.
We go back up to Eidolon. We return the treasury that we stole. Sigh.
Our counterparts did most of what we expect they did. Sigh.
We're told to stay home for a few days. Don't leave town.

Everyone except Evil Mom meets up in Santa Vallandra. Things are still
good there, so we head back to Selkai. Good mom goes to hang out at the
temple of Eissa.
Alynna asks after the best bard training school around. She is directed
to the University of Kalengen.
Apparently, Eissa is a bit disturbed by there being two different Shins
here. Oh dear.
Eissa thinks it will be *very* complicated if either of the duplicated
people dies, so don't do that. Also, they shouldn't get near each other.
We decide to rest and recover our sense.
