She can't move. Can't cast. Can barely think.
When she looked forward to playing the game of thrones against Carissa, maybe against Keltham someday, she did think it would be later, and that she would get a chance to make a move, in the game.
(Her mind does not let itself think any thoughts like 'lost the game' or 'not queen of Cheliax anymore'. There are all kinds of ways that she could still end up being Queen after this.)
(There's no thoughts like that, but an awful sinking pit in her stomach, for Abrogail Thrune hasn't Splendour enough to cast one cantrip, now.)
If this doesn't end well, it's all Aspexia Rugatonn's fault for insisting that Abrogail wait for so long before doing anything.
