The General says, "Just being cautious Sir, I know not what...." He then sees the Goddess Bast standing there. He drops to his knees and says, "Forgive me." He then turns back toward his men and yells, "Lower your weapons, NOW!"

"I understand caution General, but I also understand the need for trust. Now approach with due reverence to the Goddess and greet your General." says George gesturing to Orabi.

Ruby gave them a slight nod to alert them. She then approached Guizot. "I suppose apologies are in order?" she said in a downtrodden tone.

Before he can reply the fake Drury-Lowe throws off the two officers who had grabbed his arms and charges towards the door that the four just entered from, and at a pace twice the speed that a person could normally run.

"I understand caution General, but I also understand the need for trust. Now approach with due reverence to the Goddess and greet your General." says George gesturing to Orabi.

The General bows down immediately before Bast and says, "Thank you great goddess for resurrecting our leader so that he can win a victory for Egypt on this day."

The three of them move back in that direction. They see a pair of Egyptian Rebel Army officers moving towards the group.

Abby kept an eye on Freya, although she didn't suspect Freya would interfere at the moment, and tried to make sure no one was see their approach as a threat.

The General bows down immediately before Bast and says, "Thank you great goddess for resurrecting our leader so that he can win a victory for Egypt on this day."

George turns with a wry smile to Bast who gives him a small inclination of her head to proceed. "Not quite General. Orabi never died. he is here. It was a very clever imposter who died and committed atrocities in his form. There is a cabal of French wizards who are behind this, and they had Orabi and Neferka imprisoned. So while our Goddess has indeed provided inspiration, direction and protection for us, it was I and my friends who discovered the plot. For now, what I need from you Mahmoud, is to ensure that the will of General Orabi and indeed your new Pharoah," says George inclining his head to the princess "is carried out. To that end, I have sent Tabezza to commandeer the dirigible. I also needed you to see General Orabi"

OOC: Did we ever determine the origin of the cannon fire that took out our dirigible?

OOC: Did we ever determine the origin of the cannon fire that took out our dirigible?

OOC: No only the direction that it came in. Bast also told you that there were fourteen Frenchmen around this battlefield, while the six with each army plus the fake Drury-Lowe would only total thirteen.

George greets Abby, Lawrence and Freya. "I am glad to see you alive Freya. Abby and Lawrence much has transpired and in very rapid succession. Ruby and Mina went to bring back one of the French who was stationed with the English. I have sent for the other dirigible. But we have everyone awake and we need to get Neferka to Ghiza for her coronation. She needs attendants too." george adds with a wink to Abby.

"Freya, do you think you are up for some more flying?" asks George "We still have an artillery piece, or spell unaccounted for."

With the doctor's assistance, Ahmed Orabi stands and approaches his friend Mahmoud. He says, "You have done well my friend, the retreat and fortifications here at Tel-el Kabir would have indeed created a challenge for the British, but as we have now discovered, they are not our true enemy. General Woolsley have gone to apprehend the French snakes that have slithered into his nest, and we should do the same."
