Jazaf and Duece fall to the ground as chaos erupts around them.
"I'm ready to go back inside now." Deuce says
They start to head back until the ground opens up and fills with Lava.
"Well, crud." Jazaf mutters. "Duece, help me carry Karg over hear. I'm gonna make us a bridge."
With Karg in position Jazaf extends Karg's armor to span the width of the moat, with Karg in the middle. Jazaf and Deuce quickly cross leaving Karg stranded hanging above the lava. Jazaf races for the Parapet, making sure to thank S.R. for providing cover fire.
He reahes the top of the Parapet just after Magnus appears.
The pudgy man spins around confused and scared.
Fear gives way to concern when he sees not one but two familiar faces.
"Magnus! A pleasure to see you again!"
"I'm afraid I can't say the same Jazaf."
"No matter, I believe you're holding a few things of mine so if you don't mind."
Before Magnus can protest Jazaf begins to sift through the assortment of medallions, pendants, and charms.
"Ah ha! There they are." Jazaf pulls out two medallions and a pendant. "I knew you wouldn't have seen them. You're too scared to take anything off, why I'd wager you haven't bathed for quite some time. Of course you have a charm against odors don't you?"
"What do you and Ouroborous plan to do?" Magnus asks.
"Ouroborous? I hadn't seen him here." Jazaf furrows his brow. "In that case, I'll need..." Once again he goes fishing for charms. "This one." The charm is shaped like a serpent, Jazaf toss it to Sir Luc. She catches it and looks at Jazaf blankly.
"No doubt you've seen what great power can do, Sir Luc. That charm is to help you see into the truth of matters."
"Why did you give her that? It's.." Magnus whispers.
"I know it's not enchanted, if she truly does have everyone's abilites she can see how obvious my lie is, but Ouroborous doesn't." Jazaf whispers back.
Jazaf heads back downstairs, "So how'd it go?" Deuce asks.
"Pretty well." Jazaf hangs a Pendant around his neck, it's in the shape of a sheath with no sword. He tosses a medallion to Deuce and the other to S.R.
"S.R. that medallion will show you where the Immortals keep their souls, with it"
"With it gone the Immortals will become mortal, got it." S.R. heads off
"Deuce you medallion.."
"Allready got it Sensei." Deuce says as she begins to hover above the ground. "It's gonna be useful for those hard-to-reach areas."

Very worried, she (Seryn) quickly runs off around the ship, finds the ingredients she needs, loads as much as she can on to the Nandi, and fly's the ship remotely down to SR.
SR, runs to the fighter as it lands a while later, and reads the note taped to the inside of the lid thing "Greek fire - burns a lot, recipie on reverse, careful around matches. Included bowl of custard for you, 'case you get hungry, lots of love, Seryn xxx"
"Cool Greek Fire! Oh custard, (shrug)." SR quick sets Snarky to off loading the ingredients while he turns on the Com-link to the Tree.
"Thanks for the stuff love. I'll be in as soon as I'm done cleaning up the castle. If it's not too much trouble could you do a few quick strafing runs with the Nandi on the way back to the Tree?"
Quote:
Tapping Sir Wil’s talent of extraordinary sight, she scans the area. “YOU!” she says laying eyes on S.R. “You can fend for yourself. You’ll get what you deserve later.”
Another voice calls out.
Jazaf Quote:
"Sir Luc, would you do an Old Knight a favor and summon Magnus the Maker?"
"Why, Do I look like a cursed genie??? I have access to his powers, I can do anything that he can." she replies indignantly.
"Please, he has some things that hold sentimental value to me and items that could turn the tide of this struggle."
As Sir Luc ponders the thought, Ouroborous points out, "See how he distrusts you? He knows of your abilities yet he wants it his way."
“Enough! Stop all the chatter!” Sir Luc screams. Her eyes shift to blue and dark storm clouds gather overhead. Lightening flashes and the wind picks up.
"Damn Prima Donna," mutters SR under his breath, "If you don't stop bloody grandstanding and get with the bloody program we're all going to get all very irreparably dead whether we deserve it or not."

SR realises as he puts the medalion arround his neck that he will be the only person on Zanzibar to know the location of Sir Lucresia's soul should she choose to be immortal. A grim smile crosses his face as he understands the sort of 'leverage" he will have if Sir Luc decides to be nasty after the battle is over. With the location of the dreamers stone in his head and the medalion around his neck he has the feeling that he has not just one but two brass rings in his pocket, if he can just stay alive.
He quickly mixes the greek fire and sets it aflame and aloft as the trebuchet slings it over the keep's wall and into the screaming hordes.

OOC: Sorry I got confused yesterday when I had the Baroness claim that Magnus was inside the keep. She might just have said that as a aceptable lie to get Duece and Jazaf back into the keep. Regardless I aplogise.

*in the Common Room, Serenity begins decorating for the annual Christmas party. She's pulled out all the decorations she can find, including last year's aluminum tree made by Jazaf (which someone was clever enough to save) since PsychicRiver is still nowhere to be seen. She begins stringing lights around the balconies and stocks the CD player with Christmas albums.*
Anyone want to help me decorate the tree?

Soul wanders into the common room carrying Sera.
"Sure. I've got nothing else to do. Next off-ship adventure, I am SO going!"

Oh, well, I'm sorry that being a husband and father isn't enough for you! I'm sorry that I've been so inconsiderate as to give birth to your child!
How was that? Convincing?
You know as soon as little Sera's old enough to be without me for awhile, I'm going on adventures, too. Motherhood is absolutely wonderful, but I miss all the fun we used to have. My blades are getting rusty!

Zanzibar: siege of the octagonal order's keep. SR surveys the results of his first few flings of greek fire. "Barbeque Orc ribs, legs and thighs." He muses then takes a sip of his hip flask. "It will thin their numbers, but it's not even a percentage." He say as he offers the flask to Jazaf.
"What is it?"
"Greek fire."
"I know that, I meant the flask."
"Kool aid with just a touch of Vodka." SR replies and leaves the flask in Jazaf's hand as he helps Snarky crank and reload a trebuchet.

"Ooooh! What was EI's? Sounds interesting."
Seryn wanders into the room holding what looks like a giant remote control held together with gaffa tape, one thumb making sweeping movements accross the control widget, as she starts to pick up baubles and hang them off branches with the other hand.
Down on Zanzibar, the Nandi lift off and does a couple of graceful sweeps, harrying the hoards that wern't already on fire, but then starts going bonkers, twitching and flitting about, and making more than a few or the hoard members squeal and wet them selves with its nosediving antics.
"So, I was thinking about christmas shopping, but with bump makeing is presence felt, and you having Sera to get around, and not to mention all the trouble we had last time we went shopping, i was wondering if you wanted to get together one evening and, over several cups of tea, have a marathon Ebay session. I ear they now have at least one of every product ever made on there now. It's achieved what the Alliance never did anyway..."
*hangs a pair of sparkly blue baubles off her ears*
"What do you think? Do they suit me?"
Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

I'd love to help decorate for Christmas.
How about some pretty old fashioned popcorn strings?
That is assuming we still have a popcorn popper. I think the last one may have bit the dust after the wiring went all wonky last year?

On the planet Zanzibar:
TheRealMe takes the blood of the Immortal Alatariel that was collected by chicken-man Number 6 and puts it into the soul jar detecting device fashioned by Jadehand. The compass-like arrow on its top spins, then points to the north.
OOC: No, the industrial strength popcorn machine is still in the kitchen.
The Enemy Invaders aka Evil Invaders WERE rather nasty, as I recall. But Serenity dropped a bomb down their smoke stack, or something like that.
