Alaina yawns
Well, I must retire and prepare for tomorrow!
Stretches arms above her head
And I have just got to take a bath!
Man this chainmail bikini gives one SUCH a wedge ..
Is that good or bad?Thank you, Bard.
JH dons the gift. He looks confused, and thoughtful.
The magics work in sync with the Earth magics, so I can keep control of the hammer's thirsts, *oops* but this metal is not from this world. It is Sky Metal! It has only been on this realm a short while.
*ignoring the werewoof's actions the treant speaks*
The Sky Metal and Earth Powers combined are stronger than they would be alone.
As for the Wasp, woe to him if he let her be stolen.
Lynora hears a voice in her mind, shouting faintly...
Grooooan...who drained your intelligence score?
Yeeeah, about that...heh heh.
I just kinda forgot. It's here.
The wasp hands the small seed to the treant.
Sorry. I was about to give it to them when Candle Lighter came. Also, don't worry, I got the Cleaver.
The raven flies in.
Guys! You need to run! The Wasp is a traitor! Candle Lighter's on his way!
Indeed I am.
The dracolich appears and blasts Frogskin. The raven stumbles, and falls.
Huh? What the...
The dracolich and raven both disappear in a cloud of smoke.
"heh heh..."
Lynora hears the voice again. It is faint, and garbled, as if the speaker is going through much effort to reach her.
"Can Ligh...illusio...confs...ou...bewa...."
JH springs to his feet, his hammer in hand. As he approaches the enemy a stream of fire reaches from the hammer to the dracolich. Instead of blasting him the hammer begins to draw flame from the undead beast.
The voice again.
"Tell...eathy...e's....doormt..."
Okay, guys, the voice in my head, and keep in mind that one of them is good and one isn't and I don't know who's talking, but the voice in my head is saying something about Candle Lighter being an illusion and, er, eathy doormt. It's like trying to understand something over a really bad cell phone connection.

Alaina awakes in her massive bed. She ached in a dozen places and her skin was chafed where the chainmail bikini had rubbed. Yawning she absently eats her croissant while sipping her tea and staring moodily out at her realm. The sky refelcted her mood, cloudy and grey.
Summoning Lord Heathansson hadn't gone as well as planned. She had hoped for some power, or at least some advice on how to battle the dracolich. He seemed to be a trickster power, perhaps an aspect of the higher god Coyote. Getting a straight answer from him seemed impossible, but perhaps she was coming at it at the wrong angle.
Shrugging to herself and finishing her roll, she dresses in black spandex booty shorts and a white bikini top, pulling her tousled hair into a ponytail. She heads down to the pool area to do her morning workout and await her friends.

Lynora hears the voice again.
"Pff."
Jack Hammer muses over his morning Bloody Mary about combinations of Earth, Wind and Sea. He seems to dwell on the chances of combining Wind and Sea. Perhaps if lynora-Jill's tunic were drenched in ice water? Yes. That would would be a powerful combination indeed.

Trust not the illusions of the dracolich. Use your gifts to discern the truth.
Worry not about the insults the Lords of the Boards trade with each other. It is in their nature.
The Emperor takes the proffered Seed, verifies that it is real and untainted, then places it deep within the embrace of the Earth.
Frogskin flies nervously in. He flies over to Alaina.
Patrick ONLY:
Seeing the treant placing something in the meadow just beyond the club, Alaina stops her Tae Bo and walks over, rubbing a towel over her hair.
What are you doing old Ash? She inquires
Looks askance at the raven that has fluttered onto her shoulder

"It must be it, then! But it is difficult to believe..."

Our enemies know many tricks, but the Earth is timeless. Its knowledge is older than any written tome. Its power runs deeper than mortals and gods alike can know. That power connects more worlds than this one.

A voice in Lynora's head, the same one as before.
"Use...book...olds...scret...tlk...wasp..."

Alaina smiles
Let me assist you as best I can Old One.
Alaina begins to chant and the fabric of the thread crackles and hums. A greenish glowing nimbus surrounds the old animate tree in power.
Lynora-Jill wakes up and quickly dresses, pulling on the new chain shirt instead of her usual bikini top. She wander sleepily onto the terrace.
I keep hearing this voice in my head saying something about using the book, and talk to the wasp. Could I get some green tea by any chance?
Rosie comes whirring up with a pot of tea and a delicate teacup, setting it down at one of the tables.
Thanks, Rosie.
"What?" The wasp looks up from munching on a biscuit. He turns to Rosie. "Hey, I asked for butter on it!"
He turns back to Lynora.
"He may have an idea...yes, it is possible! We just need to book!"

The priestess of Calistria tries to aid the Earth Guardian but he has already connected to the Earth Node far beneath the surface of her meadow. Where she sought to give power instead she is filled with it. Thru the ancient treant she has inadvertantly touched the Earth herself. The Emperor severs the connection quickly.
My apologies priestess. That was a dangerous thing to do, though well-intentioned.
JH is bummed that he's not going to get the chance to test his theory.
Morning, lynora-Jill. They didn't teach you at the Place of Winds about the early bird did they? He says with a sly grin

She gives him a mischievous smile in return. But what would I want with a worm?
The kitten vikings fly in, looking badly wounded. The Jarl speaks.
"G...greetings. We're here to help. The damned dracolich took out half of our number, and our only shaman, too. We're gonna have revenge. To do that, we must put aside our differences. Even though the Jacks are worse than a pile of scrap metal.
Alaina stumbles from the backlash of power. She is wrapped in blinding light for a moment. It clears and she stands revealed, her skin now bark-like.
I...I ..AH!
She crumples and falls to the ground. A welter of roots and vines cover her recumbent form in a green chrysalis

Seeing her friend fall to the ground, Lynora-Jill rushes over to her. She looks helplessly up at JH.
What do we do?Do you think she's going to be alright?

Oh dear. I'm not surprised. It is common when young ones touch so much power.
Do not worry. She will recover. How she might change will depend on a number of other things.
Water. Water would be a good thing to help.
Rosie, get some water quickly.
