"Before we do that, let us see what resources the crown has. Sefu, what do you have to extract info from these wizards? Obviously we have a laundry list of charges, and as they are French nationals, enough damning evidence to cause a diplomatic headache for Paris. Hell even if they were not sanctioned by Paris, there is enough to declare a legal war. That alone would not convince them though. I think they may need more personal, er persuasion. Whether by magical or physical means, we need to wrap up every loose end these French have left scattered about the country." says George, delaying Ruby from leaving as yet.

Sefu replies, "I believe that from this point forward it is neither my decision or yours. Egypt now has a ruler."

Mina interjects, "Barrister, ever since Bast relieved you of the responsibility of choosing the next Pharaoh you have avoided making decisions. I am under the impression that Queen Neferka's security is still your primary task. As such, any preliminary actions that we choose to take in regards to the French would still fall under your authority. We can let her pass final judgment, but she does not need to conduct the investigation."

"The Queen I'm sure is busy with all the new changes of her new position and also mourning the murder of her family. I feel confident she wants us to figure out the information we need for her to ultimately bring these men, or women, to justice. It probably would be easier, Sefu, if you had a someone who could cast some sort of truth spell."

He says, "This is a temple dedicated to Bast. I am certain that one of the Priestesses here would know that spell."

"Excellent. Please have someone retrieve a priest who can cast the spell. Then we shall go and have a nice little conversation with the traitor."

After ten minutes Sefu returns accompanied by a middle-aged woman who introduces herself as Anneke. She says that she knows the spell, and is able to use it twice this day, or a single or two recipients.

OOC: By "the group" I know that you are including Ruby, Lawrence and Abby. Which NPC's are also with you?"

They reach the lower level of the temple, where Egyptian guards have been posted. All of the French wizards are currently gagged, with the hands tied, but beyond that there appears to be different "levels" of supervision.

One room contains the five diplomats who had been visiting with the King in Cairo, consisting of the former French Empress Eugenia Maria de Montijo de Guzman, her contemporary and diplomatic team leader Victor Duruy, the opera singer Jean Baptiste Faure, the philosopher and historian Maximillien Paul Emile Littre, and the painter Edgar Degas. They are apparently considered low risk, have minimal guard, and are seated on comfortable furniture.

The next room has seven French under heavier guard, each with gags but also tied to solid wooden chairs with their hands a feet bound. They consist of the Egyptology expert Jean-Francois Champollion, the philosophyer Hippolyte Adolphe Taine, the diplomat Frederic Passy, the physicist Joseph Louis Gay-Luccac, the writer Prosper Merimee, the very elderly inventor Joseph-Marie Jacquard and historian Francois Pierre Guillaume Guizot who George has just delivered from the battle at Tel El Kabir.


The next room, under very heavy guard and also gagged and bound to chairs are the trio that Lawrence and Callum have just brought in from Heliopolis, consisting of the alchemists Henri Moissan and Charles Robert Richet and the linquist Rene Belloq.

The fourth and final room, under the heaviest guard, are three men and a woman who are lying gagged on the stone floor with steel manacles on their wrists and ankles. The men consist of the pair that the Princess and Freya had brought in, the inventor Louis Jacques Mande Daguree and the chemist Michel Eugne Chevreul, the third man is Napoleon Bonapare's friend Baron Gaspard Gouraud, who had previously been identified as the man who handed the fake Orabi the invisible gun used to assassinate the King. The woman is the actress Sarah Berhardt, who had been impersonating Princess Neferka.

OOC: Okay folks, that's all 19 French wizards who are now at the temple. Decide who you want to talk to and where you want to have this discussion.

OOC: Post away!
