Alaina smiles
Yes please, the casino is open and there is a nice buffet set up by Elzar the Neptunian. Enjoy
After Nirellia walks away,
She was odd. And very well protected by magic. Which doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or the other. Just, I didn't get a good read on her.
Jay, really, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. I have asked the winds to see if they can't find more allies to help us. I don't know if they'll have any luck, but we can hope.
I'm sure that Sunny Godhead will assist in any way he can Jay Alaina adds
Alaina gasps and starts to shake as she reads the scroll
Serafina is back Lyn .. She whispers
LJ puts an arm around Alaina, trying to give her support.
We're with you, Alaina. You don't have to face her alone this time. And I promise Sunny G will not treat you the way that Calistria did. Serafina will pay for what she has done and be removed from her unlife. We can beat her as long as we all stand together.
The music coming from LJ is particularly reassuring, granting listeners increased confidence and resistance to fear.
Alaina shudders
Thanks Lyn. She's so strong. One of the most vivid things I remember when Calistria was riding me...shudders again ...was her fight with Serafina at Club Calistria. She stood toe-to-toe with her! A divine power! Whatever she did to ... falters then recovers ... my girls, she's no ordinary-powered bad guy now.
A tear escapes from Alaina's sun-tattooed eye
We'll have to be careful not to underestimate her. I know that Sunny G will help you. And so will I. I can't match that kind of power, not without killing myself, not alone. But none of us have to be able to match her power alone. We're stronger when we work together. We've gotten used to all going our own ways since we first had to fight the Steel Tsar, but whatever she has become, if we combine the powers of the Elements against her, I truly believe that we can win.

Frogskin chuckles bitterly. "Yeah, but they have a lot of people on Team Evil. Candle Lighter, The Mask, the Pale One, the undead guys, the Jack..."

"my sister, the defectives, some sort of clown thingy, other assorted carnival creepies, lots of hobgoblins, that wolf creature working with the Mask, and possibly a very nasty black dragon. Among others we haven't yet met. I am aware of the direness of the situation, Jay. The trick for us will be to find a way not to have to fight all of them at once, and to gather more allies to our cause."
Alaina nods and wipes her tear
It's not like they will all buddy up anyway. They're a bunch of egomaniacs.

"Serving it, actually."
In walks an obvious half-elf, probably a sun elf judging by his golden blonde hair and lightly freckled complexion. He's dressed in well oiled studded leather draped in a simple cloak. The cloak is held into place securely by a brooch bearing the five sunrays, an obvious holy symbol of Sunny Godhead. His clothing is rugged, but his sturdy leather boots show signs of well worn travels and tribulations. He's armed obviously with two swords whose scabbards are draped in elvish runes. He obviously carry only those two arms, but his aura suggests he may carry more hidden magic.
"Is everybody here," in chimes a voice. "Sunny G gave me the word, telepathically, on the who's who. Greetings Lynora-Jill, pleasure to meet you. And you must be Alaina, my boss's new herald. He sure knows how to pick them beautiful. Pleasure to meet ya toots. My name is Corin Wisp and I'm Sunny G's personal problem solver, trouble-shooter and hatchet man."
He looks around. "Say the Boss has extravagant tastes. "I like the place and the crowds, except the vomit guy...."
"You must be Jack Hammer. Heard so much about you and the catapult."
LJ can't help but smile as Corin gives his speech. It's a pleasure to meet you, Corin. With a smile, to Alaina, See, I told you.

Corin looks at Lynora with a puzzled, if somewhat amuded look on his face.

Her previous divine patroness was not so good about providing things like help and support, she said in response to the unasked question. I was just telling her that Sunny G wouldn't leave her hanging like that. There are a lot of things we'll need to fill you in on, but your timing couldn't be better.
Greetings, Corin. It's good to have another ally.

This is good to know. I smelt the stench of an evil dragon as I approached the Sanctum. But I didn't see or feel a response from Sunny G. Just his usual telepathic summons. I can't help wonder what he doing? Are we going to find this dragon's horde and plunder it?
Greetings, Corin. It's good to have another ally.
I'm glad to be aboard. Sunny G wouldn't have summoned me unless it was serious, or if he needed something sneaky or underhand accomplished. Is it safe for me to say you're a golem, am I correct.
Mmmmm.......brainnnssss
"Sorry sir, we're fresh out of them. However I can rustle up from intestine from the pantry if you would like them."
Alaina greets the new arrival
Welcome! We are always happy to have a Sun God believer here! Welcome to our counsel!

Yea! Boss told me about you. Wow! you're hot in person.
Alaina smiles
Thanks! The white thong bikini Sunny G likes his herald in helps.

LJ laughs softly. Yes, he does seem to have gotten a bit more specific about the vestment requirements. And it does look good on you.
She leans her head against JH's chest. She absentmindedly hums a haunting tune.
I thought I was being haunted once. I was like, "Whoah, dude! There's a ghost floating around my head."
Turns out it was just a bad trip.....
...Are we going to find this dragon's horde and plunder it?
Horde does not have the same meaning as hoard...
Oh... wait... that was an April Fool's joke, wasn't it? ;)
Is it safe for me to say you're a golem, am I correct.
Safe, but we usually refer to ourselves as Jacks. Thirsty Jacks. You buyin'? ;)

Friends, adventurers and companions welcome to your new headquarters in the war against evil and darkness.
The image of a man stands before the marquee, blinking in an out of existence.
Many rules in this place. I shall watch it as well.
He blinks out of existence one last time.
LJ stops humming. Something's wrong. The notes are not where they should be. The dance is changed.
The image of an elven woman appears in the sanctum to Alaina and Lynora wherever they may be.
I was visiting an ancient grove I had heard others speak of, when a huge metal construct of some kind appeared. It uttered several threats but then vanished - I think the powers of the grove may have driven it off - but I recalled that you are fighting some sort of enemy, and thought this might be of interest to you.
The image winks out.
LJ looks scared. We should go. We should go and find out exactly what happened. Something just altered the fabric of reality.
Alaina looks scared as well
Was it Serafina?
LJ screams, and falls to the floor in pain. Her hand is clutching her stomach, and blood begins to drip through her fingers.
The....Place of the....Winds she gasps.
Alaina puls upon the divine power of the Sun God to heal her friend
LYN! SPEAK TO ME!
The wound reopens almost as fast as Alaina can heal it.
Destroyed...hurts...please....take me to....Grove

JH grabs Lyn and melds into the earth.
Alaina gathers her friend, making her as comfortable as possible.
Quick! Everyone go to the Grove!
She runs through the omniportal
LJ screams, and falls to the floor in pain. Her hand is clutching her stomach, and blood begins to drip through her fingers.
The....Place of the....Winds she gasps.
Plantjack curses.
"How dare they? I can feel it...I did not think they would dare destroy the Place...it is sacred!" He roars in anger, and he vanishes.
Alaina gathers her friend, making her as comfortable as possible.

Corin follows.
The elven aristocrat returns to the sanctum, and perhaps spends a little less time in the casino than she was formerly wont to do, and a little more peering out of windows, fussing over the guards and inquiring anxiously how well trained they are, or nervously fingering a wand of ivory which she has not been seen with before.
Corin slides sideways into the sanctum unfretted by wards or other magical defenses.
Blaaaaarrrph
Blaaaaarrrph
Paging Robert, clean up in the temple lobby.

Comes out with an economy sized bucket and super-absorbant mop.
