Act 2 Scene 1, Part 2:
Disclaimer: This write up gets wonky…. Like 30% is because of me, for the rest of it, blame your fellow players.
“Double double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caul….”
“What are you doing, there is no incantation to remove the gellunes from the princess. It’s literally all magic. Why are you?”
“You know what, why do you have to be a buzz kill? I am trying to provide the people reading this story with a little entertainment and you…”
“The people reading… what are you on?”
The character stares straight out of the page, at you, yes you. “I am talking about the game we are a part of and the musings we are providing for a bunch of health field inclined people (and 1 pilot). Maybe they want to hear a nice little pop culture reference, that brings them into the moment of the witchcraft of the moment. Maybe they want to escape their realities and invest themselves within us, the characters. But no, you have to ruin it, don’t you.”
“I can’t deal with you, you extract the freaking gellunes on your own.”
“Now that he’s gone... “Double double toil and….”

Back in Lubertia, the girl in purple dragon armour, Valju, was leading the assault to retake Lubertia. They had knocked out the entire occupation of the large town district next to the palace. They were finally heading into the palace district.
They got halfway down the path, just past a cemetary, and dark wizards started swarming them from the cemetary, it was an ambush.
Keke siphoned the energy of the plant life around him, and the grass beneath him. Grass turned into bladed vines, and bladed vines turned into impaled dark wizards. He took down literally 25 of them at once, while barely blinking those piercing yellow eyes of his.
They sprinted up the stairs in front of them, which led to the entrance to the palace. “My king has to be alright. He has to.”
They burst through the doors, and standing there was a beautiful girl clad in shining white armour, and a shimmering sword. “Well well well, I didn’t think you would show.” The woman brushed her hair back to one side.
“We have defeated your army. Now yield. And we will spare you. And tell us what you did with the king.”
“Now now…. If we actually had the king he would be dead already. But luckily for you, he escaped and ran to the nearest rat hole, just like every rat does. But, I am surprised you think ‘that’ was our army. That was just this week’s shipment from Vela. We haven’t even started using our human soldiers yet.”
Keke clearly was getting enraged.
“Little black mage, you can join us again, no hard feelings.” She laughed a bit to herself. “Or not, you actually look like a challenge, and I can certainly use a challenge. I haven’t had a challenge…. Well… ever.”
Fireballs appeared in Keke’s hands.
“So, here is the deal. If all four of you, combined, are able to beat little old me, I will head back to Bigantria, and leave you to go find your little rat king. If I win, one of you dies right here right now.”
Keke immediately let a stream of fireballs her way. The woman spun her sword, the incoming fireballs appearing to absorb them.
“Give me everything you’ve got.” She winks at Kailvan.
All four of them coordinate an attack. Keke Starts freezing the lower half of her body. Kulja jumps into the air, floating in air, waiting to throw his spear. Kailvan and Wiske charge from opposite sides, Kailvan wielding his daggers, and Wiske wielding…. His silver fork (Yes, he attacks with a fork, yes, the blades of his fork are super sharp, if you’ve got a problem with it, you fight him and see how that goes for you).
The general moved her sword in the circle around herself, which drew all the ice into the sword itself. She parried the blow from Wiske with her sword and threw him into Kailvan before he could strike. Then ducked, and immediately hit the spear as it whizzed above her head, slicing it into two.
“My turn.”
Her sword started glowing an intense orange color. Then a fiery red. Then a wave of colors burst from her sword, contacting everyone in her path.
They were all on the floor crippled, defeated. “Pathetic.”
At that moment the queen and some of her accompanied guests walked in. “Ah I see you have already been a great host to the company.” The queen laughed at her own joke, and the rest of the group weakly laughed with her.
“Could you, at some point, give me a real challenge?”
“Maybe once you prove yourself.”
“How can I prove myself, if all you do is keep giving me these weaklings to face.”
A demon looking creature came up behind Wiske. “What in the world is this?”
“They are called Wis, unlikes Tyrions, they eat and they don’t know things. Why, do you want it?”
“I would love it. The demon came up behind it, open its mouth super wide, and swallowed the entire large WI in one mouthful. He chewed down, and blood gushed and splurted everywhere. “A little doughy for my tastes, but it will do.” The demon laughed maniacally with his mouthful, which just sounded like him choking on his “meal.”
“There isn’t time. My demon friend, you have got some gellunes for me?”
“Of course your highness, may I recommend using….” (he whispered in her ear)
“Sounds perfect to me.”
A final member following the queen went over and looked at Kailvan. “You are going to be trouble aren’t you.”
“If you are done looking at the monkey child, do you have a plan for Relica?”
“Of course, they may find those tornadoes to not be so protective soon enough.:
------------------
“Where is the princess?! I MUST GET TO THE PRINCESS!” Ris was in a steel cage, almost like a chandelier, hung over a pit of spikes.
“Think Ris. How to get out of this. He looked above and saw it was quite a ways to the ceiling. “Maybe if I am able to swing the cage, I can make it to that balcony.” He peers at the balcony to his right. “And then break out of the cage from there.
He started swinging himself from side to side, always traveling with the way the cage was swinging. Eventually, just barely, he made it to the balcony.
That was when he let the idea of the princess being injured take over him. He ripped open the steel cage, rushed the two guards nearby, slammed them to the ground, and took their weapons. He was a man unleashed, fueled by pure rage.

“I have it, I have assembled the potion.”
Our beetle king friend was really excited. He had discovered an old text, which described a potion to reverse any curses that are due adulterous desires. A little bit of this strange potion, a little bit of the beauty potion, and a touch of the odd potion. He bargained with the local brothel owner, who had all three of these potions.
“Ser, I have created a magnificent invention for you, something that all the nations will sing about and flock to your brothel in particular,”
“Hmmmm, what is it?”
“It can cause what is dead to never die. It can cause any sun to rise in the morning. It can cause a sailor’s salute away from a ship. It can….”
“Please stop….”
“Fine, I call it Viagra.”
“I am intrigued sir, I will trade you the mixed potion for it.”
(yes, this is the true story of how Viagra was made).
“The beetle king drank the potion, and felt the change coming. He was excited, overjoyed even. Except… He was turning green. And not like the Hulk either. More like an amphibious creature who says ribbit. The now frog king sighs. “Well, at least my brain is a bit clearer than before…”
------
We return to Kailvan waking up from unconscious state, finding Wiske’s guts splattered everywhere. He woke everyone else up, and they knew where they needed to go. Relica.
By the time they got there, there were no more tornadoes. They sprinted up the stairs that lead to the city. It as devastation everywhere. As far as they could see, not a single resident was alive. They rushed towards the palace to hear The Queen bark the following to her general “Pull back all of the troops, I will finish the terrible city now that we know the king is dead and that wretched high priest. And prepare my daughter for me, it’s about time she meets her true parents.”
“Wait do you mean?”
“I don’t know what you thought was cryptic about that. Dead. Killed. Obliterated from this Earth. Whatever word you would like to use.”
Kailvan held Keke back from launching an attack. As they stayed hidden around the corner. Each of the horde of black mages started going into the bubbles, clearly a transport to the ship above. Kailvan rushed forward. “Everyone, trust me.” He dived inside one of the bubbles disappearing. Kulja followed in suit shortly afterwards, rage in her eyes. Keke, tentatively followed suit just in time, as the last bubble was heading upwards.
-------------
Back on the Queen’s ship, the queen held a dark substance in her hand. “My comrade has made a fine choice, the God of Thunder it shall be.
“A horse appeared out of a portal in the sky above Relica. The Rider of the horse was holding a jousting spear, but it was electrified. All of a sudden, he thrust it downwards into the town below. There was an explosion. Electricity flung everywhere. A wave of smoke soared upwards. When the smoke faded away. There was nothing. No trace that a city had ever existed here at all.
“I am going to get used to this.”
------
“What do you mean you used up the rest of the stuff?”
“Well, you see….. I….”
“You what?”
“I wanted to look pretty! The stuff makes my body super sleek and shiny, like any faatle should be!”
“Ummm…. You made the male carrier system collapse, so you could look pretty.”
“Yes, I know I may be vain but….”
Marjaverte was stabbed hundreds of times by the other faatles, annoyed that they had destroyed their main means of communication.
Dead is Thoracic Guy, Marjaverte, a faatle villager, who could read all mail sent from one person to another, and could intercept mail to redirect it to a different target on two nights. With their death, NO MORE MAIL CAN BE DISTRIBUTED IN THE GAME.
