The monk spinned over knocking Wisp off balance. Wisp fell onto the floor and his crossbow flew out of his hands. The monk threw off his robe ontop of Wisp temporaily blinding and disorientating him. He managed to roll Just as three shells shattered the stone floor where hed been.
He gripped The cloak and whipped it around the clergymans weapon binding their hands together before yanking the cloak and gun across the floor behind a pue at the back of the hall.
He could now see That the Priest wore an alliance issue jumpsuit beneath his robes. It was well worn and showed signs it had been in an accident in the past. The man positioned himself in a fighting posture.
"This is not going to be a good day"

In a room on Zanzibar.
Still blindfolded and chained SR realizes he is not alone.
"I know you are there. I can hear you breathing. Say your piece or get get out. This is my room." Said SR after a moment.
A womans voice answered, "Scorpion Regent you are a interesting man. Every one is interested in you. The Baron of Camatine wants to kill you, slowly, for 'corrupting' his daughters."
"I didn't corrupt them. I just let them know that they had options."
"Yes, the youngest became a nun, the middle one became a courtesan, and the eldest joined the free amazons. All of them gave up thier family name and the Baron lost all hope of creating alliances through marriage." the woman's voice continued, "Lady Freya of Wyvern's Crag wants to kill you to avenge the death of her brother."
"He was about to slaughter women and children."
"You are responsible for the fall of the house of Ulien."
"No, that was inevitable. It was damaged beyond repair long before I ever arrived."
"You were caught enflagrante delicto with Lady Ulien."
"She threatened to accuse me of rape if I did not comply with her wishes."
"You fleeced Lord Ulien of more than two thirds of his assets through cards, dice and other wagers."
To this SR meerly shrugged.
"You killed Lord Ulien's brother and his two eldest sons."
"Yes, the brother in a duel, the eldest in a brawl, which he started, and the younger when he tried to garrote me while I was reading in a library."
"The Bard Alan the Verbose, tells of how you are the first and only man to have fought Noree the Greater to a stand still, at the straits of Basquearier."
"I just happened to be there. Lots of people fought in that battle. Enough about me, what do you want?"

Sorry Serenity, I've heard nothing further but I'm sure they're not in any more trouble than they can handle.
I'm keeping an eye on the communications from the planet just in case.

The half-rooster mercenary known only as '13' poked his human head into the dank chamber, chicken's claws scratching nervously at the stone.
"Uhmm...milady? Milady? I hate to be a bother, but...exactly when will you be done with the...theatrics? The Baron grows anxious."
And why is there a naked man chained to a wall?

*the next afternoon, the crew awakens, slowly. to the sounds of small birds chirping by their windows, and the scent of flowers blowing through the windows, mixed with the smells of lunch being prepared below. Jadehand rolls over and puts his arm around Mai.*
"Hey you, time to get up. Busy day."
"just ten more minutes....."
"okay. ten more minutes"
*a smile fills his face as he rolls off the bed and goes to the lavatory to clean himself for the fresh day. He thinks to himself.."I hope everyone else is enjoying this place as much as I am."
"I have been here many times before In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

OOC: You took away my pants, that was rude. Oh well, best roll with it. The show must go on.

"Well now that we have been formally introduced why not take off this blindfold?" SR proposed.
"But they so extremely comfortable I suspect that in a year or so everyone will be wearing them. Besides if you don't have to see me it reduces the embarrassment factor."
"I'm not embarassed. I can always close my eyes if I choose not to see you."
"Touche."
"You still haven't told me what you want of me."

The monks first blow was a roundhouse kick which Wisp dodged easily and allowed him to plant a swift right hook on his jaw. He recovered quickly though with a long arm attack which connected with Wisps right flank before his arm could return.
Wisp fighting style was street boxing. He wasnt an expert in hand to hand combat but he had ample time in the street practising. At one point he'd been involved in an underground bareboxing arena. He was doing well but left before someone messed his face up, He was too damn pretty for that.
The preacher mans was a chinese style. Finely executed moves delivered through the entire body. Unfortunately for him he was very rusty. Wisp guessed he hadnt had time or need to practise it in a while.
Wisp threw his elbow into the other mans face. A move his theoretical ju jitsu didnt expect. Wisp followed it up with two quick right jabs and a left hool sending his opponent sprawling to the floor. Wisp through his heel down on the man but he rolled away too quickly knocking Wisps foot out from beneath him causing him to stumble forward. As Wisp turned and reprepared himself the Priest was headed for the door.
Wisp didnt chase him, he simply picked up Margret and fired a bolt into the door before he could reach it. As the arrow splintered the wood the the entry was opened by a young girl.
"Father?? Are you there??" She stepped inside and closed the door behind her as The man grabbed her by the throat and covered her mouth.
"Let me leave or she dies" Wisp fired his final bolt into the latch pinning it shut. He kept the bow firm though, He didnt know it was his last shot. He would have really liked some of his explosive arrows from the bar.
The man growled and snapped the girls neck throwing her body forward while he rolled behind a pue. Wisp ran towards the private chamber at the back assuming he would be headed there. He couldnt see the man as he was beneath the height of the seats.
The monk got to the door first but Wisp caught him in a flying rugby tackle. The pair wrestled on the floor throwing random jabs wildly. After a short time though Wisps speed and youth prevailed and he managed to grab the vicars head pounding it into the floor before he passed out.
Wisp tied him to the ropes in the belfry and sat down to recover his strength till he awoke.
"Drinking, Promiscuous sex, Prostitution and beating a man of god senseless. I am SO Going to hell this week"

From his position, an exhausted Wisp does not notice the young woman in a heap on the floor.
She opens her eyes and blinks. She makes her way to her feet and with both hands grabs her head and slowly and carefully twists it about until it is facing forward. Strange popping and grinding sounds accompany this action.
With a flick of her wrist, she tosses a telepathy spell. Ouroboros? Can you sense me? This is Alatariel. Gather the other Immortals. I have uncovered the techno-heretic. You were correct. It was the monk. Oh, I had a little help.
As she strolls over toward Wisp, she can feel her neck muscles heal and the vertebrae re-align automatically. "Hi!" she says sweetly to Wisp. "I'm called Alatariel, or just Ally. Who are you?"
Alatariel, Immortal Sorceress of the Black Tower

OOC: Now that's just creepifying no end.
I can see SR is going to have a very hard time of it when, no if, he starts smuggling off world technoogy on to Zanzibar.
