Thank you Evie, that was a wonderful summary.

This is a whole subplot, if you are not yet aware of it. Pay attention to the Novice Aidan Mclain.

69 We first meet the novice as an assistant to Canon Damian

77 A brief mention the novice is looking for information on the Willimites, which is innocuous, because he is likely looking up this info for Canon Damian.  Or is he?
In several following posts, the novice is attentive to our team.

126 We learn more about the novice, he introduces himself as  "Ah am Aidan McLain, from St Machan's Abbey as was; that's in Cassan."  (By the by, Aidan is named by Evie)

In more scenes, Novice Aidan is in the background seeing what our team is doing.

203 Aidan sneaks away to meet up with three University students where he reports what he has learned about everything going on in Canon Damian's office, infirmary, and library. He repeats what he overheard Airich and Amy talk about in the infirmary.
"The young novice resumed his narrative, repeating the description of Sir Airich's affliction. He was oblivious to the sharp intake of breath from the third student as he repeated what the knight had said about needing a healer he trusted implicitly due to his knowledge of over forty years worth of sensitive information from the King's privy councils. Information the King would not want his enemies to discover."
Aidan then leaves without remembering he did this.

215 Is where we learn about the Deryni named Jester MacBee, who is a student at the university (he has another name he uses as a student, but I don't think that has been said yet) and that MacBee was with Bede's traveling troupe this last season working as a Hypnotist. (he likes causing trouble and gathering information. Like information that a certain knight caries in his head, perhaps even some royal secrets)

Just a side note. The three students, of which MacBee is part of, are not the same Trio that Collos is part of. That is a confusion we did not mean to cause.

Thank you for this! I knew about the Aidan subplot (obviously, since you asked me to create the character), but I hadn't made the connection between that and Jester Macbee and his companions, so I had just thought they'd happened upon Jester's old troupe-mate Bede in the tavern and decided to stir up a bit of trouble. I wasn't sure which of the various factions they were collecting information for or searching for Sir Airich on behalf of.

And if we go back even further, to post #52, we find our first mention of Jester MacBee and his predilection for hypnotizing people as part of his act in Bede's old traveling troupe: "[Bede] couldn't deny a certain concern over Amy's reaction, however. It was almost as if she were staring into one of Jester MacBee's spinning discs that could make people go into a trance. Was she in danger?"

[Laurna]

Thanks Nezz, even I forgot about that detail. I fully understand the confusion as to recalling small plot line details that were mentioned months ago. It is even hard for the writers to remember it all, let alone the readers who are diligently following us at this very slow pace. LOL I am just so glad people are following us still.

I think if and when the story is all read in a shorter time frame, the small details will stand out better. Or at least be caught in a second reading. I personally love catching things on a second reading.

Hoping that Iain(Jimmy) can persuade Airich. I do believe that Collos is right and this must happen now if they are to save Airich. If only they could get Wash to him but that does not seem to be a possibility.

[Laurna]

I absolutly love the line: " what one O'Flynn knew, all O'Flynns knew."  So true for they are a very close family with a happily married couple and three daughters and three sons. You certainly can not mess with one O'Flynn without having to deal with the pack. I might suggest that Iain remind Feyd of this fact. Post-haste!

[DerynifanK]

Poor Airich. Wish we could get Iain in to him and get this process started. The longer it takes, the grimmer the outcome appears. Would hate to lose him.

I have to credit Nezz with that line - absolutely brilliant.

I couldn't have come up with the line without Jerusha coming up with the sentiment.

I understand Airich's fear and resistance. But I think the only chance they have is for Iain to convince him that it will best serve the king if he cooperates with the plan. Unless someone can come up with a way to get Wash there SAFELY and to get Kelson to agree. Does Aurich really want to put Wash at risk?

While I won't argue with you, you're talking about a man who's been stabbed, pinned, merasha'd, tortured, captured by strangers, controlled psychically; and once he finally starts to feel like he might be safe, he's told he has to give people he doesn't know full access to everything inside of him—and this is the same guys who hasn't allowed anyone inside for years. You're not expecting a logical reaction from him, are you?

No. I don't expect logic but I hope someone can make him realize that they don't have time and that he can make things potentially much worse. We need Iain, perhaps he can persuade him, especially if he tells him he will be right there with him the whole time.

Here we go. Hoping for success!
