Esta will not dare the Homeward Bound, if they are somewhere that Planar Binding could not call a devil; and he has no tuning forks for a Plane Shift.

But he will send his Sending.  Not to Iker to whom he reports, nor yet to Aspexia Rugatonn.  There are procedures, when you have been touched and contaminated by an Outer God.
