He listened, but made it clear he was mostly humoring them, and said so at the end. "And what would have been gained by telling you the full order? And I did NOT lie. I said I would see Barid by the end of the week. That means at any point during it. I had INTENDED to slip out without bothering to let anyone know, and simply get the meeting over with, but decided that everyone deserved to know instead. Treat you like responsible adults, rather than the targets this war is going to make you. Barid is not sane, and hasn't been for a very long time. I want to say the last... seven meetings that we had were nearly identical, but this time was definitely the most... edgy. Of course, I got to die, and he got to go back into that planar prison cell after each skirmish, much to his anger. He wants to die, and will do what he must to ensure it happens. Part of his plan is to ensure he dies. Permanently.<br/><br/>And he did give me the basic idea behind it. Everyone remembers why the Beyonders are trying to destroy this collection of planes, yes? Well, as I hypothesized, Barid thinks, and the Beyonder assume, this multiplanarverse... is an egg for one of THEM. And I even know where to meet her. Who wants to go meet something that makes this up coming war between me and Barid look like a pair of toddlers fighting?<br/><br/>Oh, sorry, was that too much for you all? I can reset your memories if you want, make you have no idea that I even ran off on my own. I did that when we got to the domain, I did it in Barid's throne room, and rather impressed him, actually, and I can do it again."
