Joek screams in fear at the magic and leaps away unnecessarily (though he doesn't know that). Because of this, he is unable to stop Dral in time.

I have neither the time nor inclination to take steps at present to prevent you from raising such a poor servant from the grave, if the mood so takes you, but I would be greatly displeased to hear that it had been done for any reason other than to impel your own, proper, rigorous disciplinary procedures. You once had some relatively ingenius ways of dealing with your own traitors.
Unless you have any further comments you wish to make, I shall take my leave of you.
* Imagine a tiny fly, unable to move from a spot, trying to stop or hurt a man from stubbing it out with a fingernail. That's approximately what Tarvek just tried to do.
Ouch. Well, he tried.
Suddenly, Dral appears in the circle. His eyes widen as he sees Tarvek's corpse, and he sees Joek not moving. His mind being significantly sharper than Tarvek's, he comes to a conclusion rather quickly. He lets out a cry of rage. Joek smiles. "Ah, this is perfect! Guards! Dispose of this man! Daelemos, you may help if you wish."
Daelemos wrote: The dragon glances down at Joek, not deigning to show signs of anything, except perhaps for impatience.
I am waiting for an explanation of just why your organisation has apparently recently become full of bleeding heart do-gooders? I had understood that you had always kept a tight grasp on your minions and underlings, and kept them away from attempting to ease the pain and suffering of others? Right now, however, I gather several of your organisation's officers have rushed off in several directions to attempt to prevent harm in occuring in situations involving the ones currently known as 'Aidan' and 'The Bard'.
Joek's voice is not pleased, but he maintains the smile. "What we do in our own organization is hardly your business, wyrm. We protect the Board, whatever the result may be to its inhabitants."
Joek hears the enormous dragon outside, and sighs. He walks outside.
He is disturbing, to say the least. Some of his skin seems to have been stripped from his bones, his face is practically a skull, and his eyes bulge out, flowing red. He smiles grimly at the dragon.
"Yes?"
A note: Most of what is ahead happens before the big dragon comes, until it reads 'your cue'. There was a big editfest.
Meanwhile, Joek wanders into the study where Stina had been reading mere moments ago. His eyes fall upon the book, and the page that it is on. He swears. With a word, he destroys the book. "How did they find that?! I thought I had destroyed all of them...what to do?" He hesitates, then makes a decision. "They must be stopped. For the greater good. Guards!"
Joek scratches his chin. "I wonder...but very well. Kobold Cleaver, I am putting you in charge of this siege. If it fails, I will hold you responsible."
Joek glares at Kobold Cleaver. "Your team failed. Funny thing, though: You sent 17 new recruits on the trip. Losses were terrible because of this. And now three of our best soldiers cannot help in the siege because they are banned from the Eyrie. Kobold Cleaver, please explain to me how this is not a sign of your true loyalties.
Suddenly, Esmerelda and Meepo collapse. They try to rise, but cannot.
Joe smiles grimly. "Sorry,Mom and Dad. You talk too much."
The bodies vanish.
Joe turns to Kobold Cleaver.
"Get back to work."
Kobold Cleaver wrote: "Do not worry, I understand the threat." Kobold Cleaver sighs and goes back to his book. Joe nods and leaves, leaving Kobold Cleaver to his work.
Kobold Cleaver wrote: Mah Cousin Joe wrote: Joe walks into Kobold Cleaver's study.
"How is it going, Kobold Cleaver? Have you determined the cause of the danger?" "Unfortunately not. My abilities are limited by the destruction of the Cleaver. Without it, my magical powers are sadly diminish." "Well, try harder. This is serious business, and our numbers are still far too small to combat it without knowing more."
Joe walks into Kobold Cleaver's study.
"How is it going, Kobold Cleaver? Have you determined the cause of the danger?"

"Actually..."
The figure takes off his hood. Under it is a skeletal kobold, with a strange orb in one eye. But it is Joe.
"...It could."
Plantjack leaps back in horror, causing him to lose his grip and fall.
"YouAAAUG! Joe raises a claw and Plantjack stops falling.
"You know, I should really kill you both. You jeopardize the mission. But Lynora is too powerful for me to fight, amazingly, so the bint and the plant will live. I will give you two a warning, now, and that is quite generous of me: Kobold Cleaver could be instrumental to the return of the order. So there will be no interference, or someone dies."
He vanishes.

"Hey, I just felt something weird. Like something's happened to my roleplaying counterpart."
A few hours ago...
It is a slow, dull night at the clubhouse. Suddenly, Joe flies out from the basement.
"Free!" He shouts, and blasts the door apart. He flies out, into the night.

"Um, guys? You're the wind guys, right? It's just, we haven't seen you lot in a while. And, well, we could really use your help."
Everyone hears a voice coming from the basement.
"Hey, did we just get stuck in the RPG pocket dimension? Great! Maybe this place will be less painful than the True Board!"

Last Knight, you need to change the title. It should read, 'Lastknightleft vs. Mairkurion {tm} vs. Kobold Cleaver'. There it was again...I thought there was some sound clashing with my fine tenor. Did you here that funny little sound, Lastknightleft? Hey! You can't talk that way to mah cous! Get 'em!
