It came as a tremendous surprise to Aaron that Miss Cleric had been selected as one of the Chosen.
Eleanor's bloodline should have been less than half moon elf and more than half human. Could even a half-elf with so little elven blood be selected as one of the Chosen?
Besides, Eleanor was already Selûne's Chosen. She bore more than one of Selûne's marks, and he periodically filled her body with the power of chaos through internal injections. How could she possibly be one of the Chosen?
Aaron simply could not understand it. He could not even fathom it when Eleanor was not in the Weave Pits to begin with.
Yet the moment that thought arose, Aaron sensed Eleanor's arrival.
Miss Cleric, Selûne's cleric Isabel, the aasimar Lady Aylin, and Lady Silverstar had landed. They, too, had become Abyssal Troopers!
More than eight hundred members of the Silver Hand Legion arrived right behind Eleanor and the others!
Excellent!
Aaron's tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed.
In that case, we'll go with plan B!
He immediately sent orders to Samir of the Harpers and Morgan, the former Devil Merchant who had become an Otherworldly Divine Servant in Waukeen's service.
It was time to execute the Crimson Protocol!

This was a crucial battle on Aaron's path to godhood.
Aaron intended to seize Lolth's [Chaos] portfolio, then reveal his true nature and formally ascend as the [Lord of Reincarnation], freeing himself from the Chaos Gods' control.
The actual plan
