AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

Ruby comes forward and bows before the Queen. "Queen Nerferka, we have questioned two of the wizards. I believe we have found the mastermind behind it all. The Frenchman Daguerre admitted it, though not in words. George questioned him while I read his mind without his knowledge. He did tell some truths but in his mind he admitted he is the leader of all these wizards and plots. He does keep to his story, in which he accuses us of being under Freya's control."

 

[Fenris]

"The only defense he puts forward is that Astrid beguilded many of his experienced wizards and made them perform the acts they were witnessed doing. He denies facts when presented with them and attempts to cast everything as a conspiracy against them. Had that been the truth, we would merely think him demented, as it is his evasion is evidence of his pernicious plot. Astrid here submitted to a truth spell, where Daguerre would not, further undermining his credibility. Additionally, though he denies leadership, Bast herself told me of his guilt." adds George

 

[Silver Moon]

Sabah-Bast steps forward and says, "Yes, he is one of those involved in the conspiracy. I had read Gouraud's thoughts earlier when Sefu was questioning him. Fourteen of the French were involved in the conspiracy, ten of whom are in the rooms below, with the other four having already been slain."

"So Queen Neferka, what do you decree as justice?"

 

[Silver Moon]

"So Queen Neferka, what do you decree as justice?"

She says, "Bring all Nineteen French and their guards up here to stand before me. These ten will have justice dispensed and the other nine will stand as witnesses."

Sabah tells Neferka "Some of them are also guilty of crimes against your Kingdom."

 

[Queenie]

"We will stand by your side, Your Majesty. Just let us know what you need from us." Ruby and George go and stand over by the rest of their group.

Sabah tells Neferka "Some of them are also guilty of crimes against your Kingdom."

"Not to mention kidnapping a British General, they may want to either have a crack at them or at least know justice was meted out." adds George before he saunters back to an alcove an pours himself a brandy.

Guards head downstairs to retrieve the prisoners. Before any of them are brought to the temporary throne room, the silence of the room is shattered by the sudden appearance of a trio of people who teleport into the room. They are immediately recognized as John Wesley Hardin, the druidess Merin, and the Mexican wizard Manual Gonzales. All are disheveled, have torn clothing and visible wounds, although none appear to be serious.

 

[Queenie]

"Teacher!" Ruby yells and runs towards him. "What happened? Are you alright?"

 

[Silver Moon]

"Teacher!" Ruby yells and runs towards him. "What happened? Are you alright?"

He laughs, "Oh yes, my little bird. One second please, I have a task to perform."

He removes the satchel from his shoulder and opens it. From it climb out a miniature centaur, six inches tall, and a six-inch tall dark-skinned warrior. Gonzales casts a Dispel Magic on them and they enlarge, revealing themselves to be the centaur druid Cetan and the Nubian Ogre Prince who Ruby met at the banquet. They also appear to be a little worse for the wear. Gonzales tells Ruby "I had to shrink them down for transport due to the weight limit of the spell."
