# Devell Sending Stone Talador supplied a sending stone or token to maintain contact while the party sought Ryla and dealt with Elena’s arrest. The descriptive title identifies this handover rather than an official named artefact. He told them to keep it with them. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 52 - The Rose Taken|Session 52]]) Raphius used it to discuss the failed release and urgently request help through Cairnlace contacts against Boristov’s departure. Those communications are recorded, not proof the requested interception succeeded. Exact holder after each use, paired stone, charges, range and later custody are not supplied by the examined scenes. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 53 - Jail Time - Xor, Traitor of Nyxthys|Session 53]]) ## Failed contact and the later interrupted exchange Raphius still had the stone during54’s escape. His55attempt outside the warehouse failed despite felt connection pressure. At the laboratory it later pressed against his mind and conveyed Talador’s report of questioning and house arrest. Raphius replied that they were alive and escaping below Bastion, described the jail infiltration and tried to ask about Boristov and the Rose before contact ended. No answer or successful interception was received. ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 54 - To Escape a City|Session 54]]) ([[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/01 - Sessions/Session 55 - Beneath Bastion|Session 55]]) The wording “what remained of the stone’s power” and “no more conversation … for now” does not specify numerical charges, a daily reset, paired-item limits or permanent destruction. Preserve the actual failure and later exchange without importing an external rule. ## Contact resumes outside Bastion At Wendell Raphius reached Talador after a delayed response. Talador remained watched and effectively under house arrest, confirmed Boristov had left Bastion without a known exact destination, and reported intensified assaults against the rot. Raphius reported their escape and renewed the parasite warning; Talador promised later contact when the crisis passed. This later use shows that55’s “no more conversation … for now” was not permanent destruction. It still establishes no numerical charge allowance, reset interval or range.
