An hour before dawn she gathers everyone around for the great big project briefing. She's already told bits and pieces of the whole story, to various students, as it seemed necessary to assuage various specific worries of theirs, but saying it in front of everyone makes it clear that she didn't select the stories she told them, and that they're insiders, now, among the very few in Cheliax who know what's really going on. 

 

It's a long story. Her voice is getting hoarse.

 

"I was irritated, at first, about the rumors, but the judgment of people more experienced than I was that they are completely inevitable. This is, unambiguously, the most important thing that has happened in Golarion since the death of Aroden, and arguable the most important thing that has ever happened; we are at the center of it; our successes and our failures will not go unnoticed. The Queen is not only reading our transcripts, she is reading our thought-transcripts. One of the rumors is that every devil in Dis knows my name, which must be false, but all the contract devils do, necessarily. 

Do you want your names to be known? Pride is one of Our Lord's domains; you may think, if you'd like, on what you'd do with money and power and titles and all else that would result from our triumph. But the path ahead is very narrow. We are not worth that much yet; it is simply the judgment of those wiser than us that we might be. And in deference to their judgement, I am doing everything in my power to unlock the value in you all, wherever it's found, and to build in Cheliax and if necessary in Hell a system that can use you to your fullest potential. It will succeed spectacularly, or it will fail spectacularly; there is no middle ground.

Go to your rooms and prepare your spells, and if you think of anything at all that might be a barrier to unlocking all the value in you, bring it to me. Dismissed."

 

 

And she has a bit of the post-combat high herself, at that, though she's not as childish as Asmodia, and doesn't show it.

An hour before dawn she gathers the not-fired students and also Security around for the great big project briefing.
