By this point Lucifer in unresponsive. If he were in a better place, he'd be sending out messages like birds. Kyle, Wilhelm, Kell. Heck, Yennefer, Thancred. Maybe even Jill. She doesn't have to like him to listen to him.
But Thorne is going for all its Summoned, and if Lucifer is so lacking in power that he can't escape this, then what good is he to the rest. They need a city to come back to, because they don't have a choice, where are they going to run, they come back every time, even faced with a portal that could have brought them somewhere else, they all returned to Thorne. Every last one of them.
Regretfully, and not knowing the other territories were undergoing a similar roundup, he wonders if he should have stepped through and abandoned them all. Maybe he wouldn't be tied up and led like this.
And then, briefly, far more morbidly, he wonders if Thorne is going to send them off to the Singularity and execute them with some form of magic sniper bullet. He bets they have a spell for that. Just a headshot. Drop them all at once. They are the caskets, in flesh form. Give their connection, their power, back to the Singularity.
He'll have such a sweet ride at least! Uniquely his. Everyone should be jealous.
Of his fancy locked carriage.
If Istredd tries to reach out to him, Lucifer will not respond for the rest of this trip.
