The queen was saying something.

"...stars have come together!" she shouted.  "The time of prophecy is at hand, when the powers of the world will shift and change-- and that is when we will strike, and become the dominant power of the land!"

Inaaya stayed still. This was big if the queen was here.

"You will spread out over the land, and find the Star-Seal, and the Outsider Saviors, and capture them!  If you destroy the saviors, that's fine, too," she said.  "Not that picky."

Inaaya considered what the queen was saying, did she know about any prophecies?

There was one, wasn't there?  About a savior from beyond the stars, who would find the Star-Seal and save the world, or turn it upside down, or something like that?

Int or an appropriate skill to recall more.

(OOC: Religion roll - Inaaya el-Ansari rolled 14 using 1d20+7)

...Yeah, she was pretty sure about that. And it was possible that this was the time.  A savior from elsewhere, something called the Star Seal that held something powerful and dangerous locked away, the potential to change the entire world.

Okay, that wasn't good. Was the talk wrapping up?

It appeared to be-- and with the assigning of teams of wasps to scatter all over the land, searching.

It was a good time for getting out, so Inaaya headed for the exit.

The hive was a maze...

Perception or Investigation

(OOC: Perception - Inaaya el-Ansari rolled 13 using 1d20+7. Gonna reroll that. Inaaya el-Ansari rolled 18 using 1d20+7)

Luckily, she found a way out that she could use before the wasp hordes emerged!

Inaaya got out and started flying back.

How high was she flying, and what was her destination?  The wagon?  Or the temple, directly?

(OOC: Above the hive, heading for the wagon.)

Luckily, she reached the wagon before any of the wasps spotted her.

Inaaya landed on the vehicle.

"We need to head back," she said.

The barge was already in motion as she landed.

"You don't have to tell me twice!" said the pilot.  "Where are we going?"

"Back to the temple, I have to report what I found out," Inaaya said.

Luckily, their return to the temple was uneventful.

Inaaya went looking for Sister Nasheen right away.

"What have you found, Sister?" Nasheen asked.  "You returned very quickly..."

Inaaya then told her about everything she had overheard.

Sister Nasheen took a deep breath.

"...so," she said.  "The day has finally come.  The day the world turns upside-down."
