Magnus blinks out of nowhere in front of Sir Luc. He looks around in surprise, then turns to walk away again kissing his charm. He blinks out of existence and shortly reappears facing Sir Luc again. Now panic fills his features “But how...”
Sir Luc leans into Magnus smiling. As she does so, a vein of silver creeps up her cheek causing her to grimace in pain, wiping the smile off her face. She reaches forward and places a hand on his chest grabbing hold of his collar. Pulling back, she removes all of his charms, weapons and armor, as if it were velcro’d on, leaving him standing there nude.
Grabbing up a large spear, she impales Magnus, pinning him to the ground. Leaning in, the sweat drips of her brow from the effort. “I know this can’t kill you, but just think of what happens if you’re still in this position when they find your soul jar.”
She casts around the field finally finding what she is looking for. Jazaf and Wisp stand back to back amongst a growing circle of bodies as Duece spins about overhead.
Leaping over to them she grabs hold of the front of Wisps armor, leans in a whispers, “I need more…”
Wisp looks at her sweat glistened face and the veins of silver with growing concern.
On the Keep wall;
S.R. glances over at Sir Kei. ‘How is that man still smiling? He must be mad!’ S.R.’s sword has been growing heavier for sometime now.
Sir Kei catches S.R.’s look and grins wider at him. “Well fought Sir Reagent!” Crashing two Orc’s heads together and tosses their bodies over the wall then wipes his hands together. “I think we’ve earned ourselves a snack.”
Sir Kei reaches into his pocket and throws part of the contents over to S.R. who looks at it puzzled.
“Tis chicken jerky. Very good stuff.” Sir Kei says around a mouthful, shoving another Orc ladder away from the wall. He takes a pull from a flask and tosses it to S.R. as well. “Essence of Fire chicken. My own recipe. It’ll put hair on your chest.” He laughs out loud and turns to face another Orc.
OOC: Sorry, I tried to post this earlier but the site went wacky for me.

"I got that beat, try this on your jerky." SR says extracting a bottle from his belt pouch. He dribbles a few small drops on Kei's food. "Tell me what you think." The label on the bottle reads:
"Liquid magma hot sauce. Regent's secret home recipe. Not for resale. Warning: mildly corrosive, highly flammable, do not exspose to air for extended periods. For novelty use only. Nine out of ten doctors polled declared our sauce not for fit for human consumption. Use at own risk."
Sir Kei kicks another orc in the crotch and taking hold of the orc's arm slings him off the wall. Kei takes a bite of the jerky.
"Hmm tasty. reminds me of,"
"Wait for it,"
The after burn kicks in and Kei's face flushes, his eye's water his nose sniffles and then he erupts in terrible roar "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The cry is heard 100 leagues away. Kei flys into a true bezerker's battle frenzy and begins bashing orcs of the wall with a severed troll's fore arm.
"What happened to him?" asks a soldier.
"Not sure," replies SR "maybe it was something he ate."
Scorpion Regent

*So distraught is Ath over Serenity's ignorance of his desires, that Seryn has time enough to slip away.
Alas, the draw of peanut butter is not to be denied, and he follows soon after.*

It was a funny plot line, you big oaf!
*Thinking quickly, Serenity dashes into the kitchen. Digging furiously through the cupboards, she finds what she needs. She dumps a few ingredients into a bowl, stirs madly, then grabs two tablespoons and a baking sheet. Moments later, she shoves the baking sheet into the oven and sets the timer.*
Hey Ath!! I've made PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!!! If you hurry now, you can get them hot out of the oven!

At the siege of the Keep of the Octagonal Order on the planet Zanzibar:
Two high towers of the keep have completely collapsed, injuring or slaying many within and below, but apparently Krysta's quick freezing of Ouroboros stopped the destruction of the entire castle complex.
However, inside those two towers were Sir Wil, his archers, Sir Devan's petrified form, and two Immortals: the squashed Krysta and Ouroboros' frozen form. Their fates are unknown.
Meanwhile, the Great Project (whose approach has been forshadowed and otherwise hinted at) has come onto the field of battle. It is a massive gigantic creature, with scales, wings and human arms. It is breathing out great gouts of flame, burninating anything withing reach of either side. It lets go a tremendous howl that echoes off the castle walls, then charges directly toward the monstrous form that was once Sir Luc.

On the coast near the Octagonal Order keep on the planet Zanzibar:
TheRealMe and Jake7 wander about the beach, guided erratically by the soul jar detecting device.
Jake7 seems dubious. "This Immortal named Alatariel would hide her soul on the beach?"
TheRealMe concentrates on the device as he walks about. "Maybe. It could be in a shell, or a pebble."
"Or a grain of sand?"
TheRealMe pauses and looks up at his companion, considering this.
"I mean," she continues, "I would want to make it hard to find."
"Right!" TheRealMe agrees, smile gone from his face.

In the castle of Immortals on Zanzibar:
"Majesty? What do you see?" The Immortal Adelle the Burner was being very quiet so as not to disturb her mistress' concentration.
The Empress Arinda of the Silver Eyes sat on her throne, her eyes closed as always. Her numerous magical silver eyes orbited her head and shoulders. "I see that our men are all fools. They have attacked the Order of the Octagon and have been vanquished by the New Power, which by the way, is Sir Lucretia."
"Lucretia? She never exhibited such power before!"
"No. I suspect that she has been possessed by an incredible power, some demon or demigod."
"Our men are vanquished, but not slain?"
Arinda was annoyed. "Certainly not! They are Immortal, after all."
"Then we should rescue them?"
"No! Alatariel shall. Among us, she can most easily move unseen."
"And where IS Alatariel now?"
"Here," the Empress stated simply.
At that moment, the great doors to the throne chamber opened silently and the Immortal Alatariel, still in tattered clothing, enters.
"Ally, dear, I'd like you to collect our friends. Do so now. Your Great Project is about to attack the New Power (Lucretia, by the way) and this might provide a good distraction."
Alatariel bows. "Yes, but... Lucretia, Your Majesty?"
"Yes, Lucretia," Arinda confirms. "Also, you should know that both Scorpion Regent and Sir Jazaf are present at the battle, fighting for the Knights."
"Jazaf..." Alatariel whispers.

Ace, Bride1
"Actually, I'm not so hungry," McQ starts. "Besides, the last time I attempted to eat actual food...umm, it didn't go so well." The cyborg stands up and gets ready to dismiss himself. "I need to find something to do before my circuits go stir crazy on me. Nice meeting you, Ace. I'm sure we'll see more of each other." With that the cyborg departs from the kitchen and his sensors detect a commotion coming from the common room. He decides to check it out since he could use something to do and to find out who all was still onboard.
When he reaches the common room, McQ enters quietly and observes the scene taking place and the 10 foot Christmas tree needing decorating. Not sure if he'd be of much help, he merely stands aside in the doorway, as to not to entirely block it.

*Serenity seems McQ standing in the doorway.*
Hey McQ! Are you any good at detangling these little hook things? They always get in such a mess and I spend forever just pulling them apart before I can hang any ornaments. Drives me crazy!
Wanna give it a try?

"ScorpionRegent!!!" Wisp bellowed again whilst his cannons dispatched orcs crawling up the walls, Most of them too terrified of the towering metal beast to do anything. He heard the electronic howl and looked in his direction. Wisp half fought half charged through to him.
"I have a plan to dispatch the immortals, Ive been listening to all the stories escpecially what Magnus said
Quote:
"Oh, Empress Lucretia, I have no doubt that you possess the sheer magical might to rip your soul from your body. Heh. Also, I have no doubt that you could take knowledge from my mind. But technique? Subtlety? I have made the others Immortal. It is not something to try on yourself by way of experimentation, and without absolute control. It is a task to be done with a scalpel, not a two-handed sword. Do you have such fine control of your own power?"
Dont you see?? If we destroy Magnus then his magic should be broken and the souls of the other immortals will return to their bodies"
SR looked back and said simply:
"and hello to you too"
