Provided everything you said is true - perhaps you can give me some assistance on figuring out the Lominsan storyline - particularly how Hob taking you to the 'Cuda's "sequester ship" could trigger an echo of Emerick being freed, Y'shtola showing up talking about Ascians, Travanchet attacking the sequestered fleet, and the Sea Serpent tidal waving everything into oblivion. Is it even Hob doing it!?

Also, still rabid about how Y'shtola even made it off of that situation unscathed and not even bring it up. She has some superpowers... (that telekinetic bullet stop, making copies of herself to surround you, surviving tidal wave, etc.)
