Ke'lan hopes that the sweat will be a
way to divine where the herb came from, so potent are
the magical properties of the plant. He calls in his magic users, to
perform
the necessary tests on the sweat. (He can no longer do so himself, as a
result
of past events depriving him of his spellcasting ability, [7472, 7483, and
7598]
although he remains the foremost expert on ancient magical ingredients.)
The tests reveal - to those with the magic sight - a glittering path back to Annafrid's home dimension. The correct analog world having been identified, it then becomes a question of just how to get there in order to get a supply of the herb. "I thought that with the demise of the Crystallics, travel between analog worlds was no longer possible, except with the assistance of a Rule or Agent," Astra says. "Not quite impossible, no, "Ke'lan replies. "Otherwise Annafrid wouldn't be here, after all. However, our lack of the herb that was used in sending her here makes it much more difficult. However, I think I know a way, if anyone will volunteer for what will almost certainly be a dangerous mission. In particular, if for any reason you can't get any of the herb, you could be stuck in the analog world. There will need to be a magic user amongst the party, in order to carry out the spell for returning to Terra Prime."
