[ That's a lot of writing, and Steve's grateful that Istredd is willing to "think" it all out for him. He hadn't realized about the telepath thing either, but given that Istredd is an accomplished mage, he shouldn't be surprised. As he mentions, this is something Wanda can do too. ]
It's pretty odd that a giant monster just disappeared into the sea and there's been no sign of it since then. Is it just hanging out at the bottom of the ocean?
[ More of a rhetorical question. Moving on... ]
How much do we know about this Nikodaemus? Sorry to ask you for a religious studies lesson, but there isn't much about the old gods here in Cadens.
Either way, it sounds like for better or worse, those visions did mean something. They have some sort of importance and legitimacy to them.
I know Castiel was hoping to learn more about that, but none of us are allowed near the island to go looking as far as I know. I doubt it's the last we've seen of it.
[ The shrine monster was more than a typical monster. It had been talking to them through the shrine, or that was Istredd's assumption when it kept persuading them to open it. That means it is smart, far smarter than a typical animal. If it went underground, it may show itself another day. Not unlike the turtle that saved them. ]
There's not much here either, from what we know, he is a god of illusions, which is why they were able to hide us so long. You should talk to Wanda, I believe Solvunn is the only place with information on the gods. She was open to making us a pantheon of some kind.
Yes, some of the visions related to the heralds. Whoever the dark figure was, I'm not sure any of us know.

[ Steve's even made some sketches so that they can investigate it further, but nothing's come up about it just yet.
A god of illusions. Like Loki? Eugh. ]
I'll ask Wanda then, we check in with each other regularly. And yeah, it seems like there's still a lot of unanswered questions about all of this.
Either way, I'll find out what I can about the Free Cities and the Singularity and get back to you.

Thank you, Steve. Please be careful, the last thing I want is for you to get in trouble in your faction.
no subject
[ Istredd included, it seems. ]
And don't worry. I'm good at getting myself into trouble, but I'm also good at getting myself out if it.
[ It'll be fine. Probably. ]
no subject
Well, I have seen that myself from you, so I have faith.
[ They all managed to get out of serious trouble, but Steve saved his life. ]
