Their combined force would land on Isla dola Focas ahead of the invasion, and see if they could free the military hostages from the Cult of the Steel Lord before the Beran fleet arrived. James did a divination spell to track down Kenna’s whereabouts, using an old survey map of the island. She appeared to be inside a dormant volcano about five miles inland from the coastal city of Karch, home to some ten thousand gnolls.</p><p></p><p>Summer did a ritual to make their entire group appear to be gnolls for a few hours; hopefully long enough to reach their destination. They timed their approach to Karch to blend in with the other fishing boats from the city. As they approached the island, Summer felt attention drawn to the massive storm cloud stretching the entire distance between Isla dola Focas and the mainland.</p><p></p><p>Looking up, she felt herself overcome by a vision. She was floating in space, two hundred years prior, next to the constellation Draco and above the planet Avilona. Avilona, the plane of air, was balanced on a pin of white stone. Dense, swift clouds covered its face, and where they parted she could se glimpses of majestic towers. She felt as though she were being battered by waves, and the white pin shattered. Its head plunged into a hungry black gyre below and, with no noise, no grand cataclysm, the clouds of Avilona slowed, thinned, and vanished. She saw ruined spires falling to its surface. To her side, the stars of Draco plummeted into the vortex below and she was falling as well, with no wind to hold her aloft any more.</p><p></p><p>Summer told this story to Cazara and all they could talk about for the rest of the ride was how the Golden Icon of Avilona had been found in a sea cave on Axis Island, held in a broken column of stone which had eroded away and broken. Cazara recalled that Nicolas Dupiers, the miner they encountered in that sea cave had two other Golden Icons (of Urim and Nem) on him. She wondered if the other planets all had icons held in stone columns around Axis Island. The time information seemed significant as well: the vision had been of two hundred years in the past. It was around 200 years ago that the dragon tyrants suddenly fell out of power in Ber, overthrown and killed by their slaves. It was about 200 years ago that Danor first started waging war on Risur over control of the Yerasol Archipelago, which included Axis Island.</p><p></p><p>Was Axis Island so named because it was the axis of the world, or the solar system, or even the universe? If a pillar holding an enchanted icon related to a planet breaks and that planet loses its influence over the world, did one cause the other? Was Axis Island somehow projecting its influence over the planes to the rest of the world? Was it creating the reality they all lived in? The Golden Icons lost their power away from Axis Island, so was something on Axis Island giving them power, or was their power magnified by it? There were many things to investigate, but for now, they had an island to infiltrate.</p><p></p><p>They made landfall and skulked through the rough terrain of the island, heading towards the volcano. After an hour in the wilderness, they found a wide, well-used dirt road leading directly to the entrance of the place they were looking for. The road led to three large entrances into the mountain. One of the entrances had a pair of large mine carts at the end of a track. Investigating the mine carts, the constables found the disembodied head of a duplicant. Alienor picked it up and it became the head of Tinker Oddcog.</p><p></p><p>“I wondered when I’d see you again. Please, please, get in the cart. It will be a pleasant ride, and my subterranean domicile is far, far too large for you to have to walk all the way. So, so vast. You could get lost in it. Certainly your mind could. I have an inkling you’re going to get quite violent toward me, and our previous interaction was much, much too brief. So please, please: into the cart.” </p><p></p><p>When the constables protested that it was Tinker who had escalated the hostilities in their previous interaction, he claimed that he was under mind control — a mind control that he himself had designed, in fact — and it was a strange sensation. He also told them that they were walking into a trap but was suddenly cut off when the head changed to the face of Benedict Pemberton.</p><p></p><p>Pemberton had first been encountered a year prior, when Malkie and Mort had been unable to gain access to his exclusive party tent at the Kaybeau Arms & Technology Expo. Since then, they had little contact with him until coming to Ber, where he traded the use of a “steam crew” for the promise of James’s future services. James was a pioneer in the realm of personal prosthetics, and Pemberton wanted to make use of those talents. After that meeting, IronPeak had revealed to the others that Pemberton was a very generous contributor to the RHC’s coffers, and in fact their regular stipends for gear and expenses were mostly funded by the Pemberton Trust. Now, he was appearing before them, seemingly affiliated with the Cult of the Steel Lord, who had just assassinated the leader of Ber.</p><p></p><p>“Welcome to my volcano lair,” began Pemberton. “Now if y’all don’t mind, kindly either leave the premises or leave your weapons behind and get in the cart so we can talk in peace.” While Alienor negotiated an agreement that would see the constables and their soldiers enter the mine carts without leaving their weapons behind, Cazara made three quick Sendings to people who she thought needed to know about Pemberton:</p><p></p><p>“Have reached Pemberton’s volcano lair on Focas. Assuredly a trap, but hostages need rescuing. Mind control a risk. Please ready any help you can offer.”</p><p></p><p>She sent that message to Bruse Cavallo, RHC Chief Inspector Delft, and Principal Minister Harkover Lee.</p><p></p><p>Delft’s response: “Don’t die.”</p><p></p><p>Cavallo’s response: “Will send troops to back you up ASAP. Advance scouts in area. Will be available within an hour. Good luck!”</p><p></p><p>Lee’s response was longer in coming. Unable to delay any further, the constables got in the lead cart, with their guards following behind. The Pemberton head began to lobby for their support in his upcoming revolution. He argued that the high-turnover of short-lived leaders led to chaos and strife. Why, Flint, the most successful city in Risur, had had the same mayor for hundreds of years. Pemberton argued that what Ber needed was a leader with some experience, a leader with the lifespan to see things through. As he was working up to his conclusion, Cazara got her message from Lee: “I wish you’d told me earlier that Pemberton was involved. Be very careful with him. He used to be the dragon Gradiax the Steel Lord.”</p><p></p><p>“He’s a dragon,” said Cazara. “Do you think I want a dragon in control of my country again?” and then she punted his head out of the mine cart. The negotiations were over.</p><p></p><p>The carts pulled into a huge foundry room filled with open lava pits, conveyer belts, cat walks, a big steam turbine, bizarre mechanical contraptions, an obvious mine-cart-themed trap, some kind of big laser pointing into the lava, and a large steam-powered mechanical suit. Everyone leapt from the mine carts before they could be dumped into the lava. “Welcome,” said a mechanical reproduction of Pemberton’s voice, “I guess it’s time for hostilities. Tinker, be a good gnome and take out the trash.” As the steam suit charged various weapons systems, the voice came back in. “Except the human. We need him alive.”</p><p></p><p>The steam suit launched bullets and bombs faster than anything Alienor had ever conceived. Alienor dashed into a side chamber, where she found a strange display of four un-activated duplicants sitting around a table, looking like four mannequins having a discussion. The table looked like a zeppelin, and the room was filled with other, equally silly contraptions piled at the end of the conveyor belt coming in from the foundry.</p><p></p><p>Summer went invisible, Cazara leapt across the chamber and also went invisible, James rocketed into the air powered by his rocket boots, and the troops advanced on the steam suit and fired their carbines. Summer checked her sword to try and get a better lead on where Kenna and any other female hostages might be. She picked up a female presence hiding in the steam cloud above the giant turbine.</p><p>Cazara approached the obvious Important Door in the area the Tinkersuit was trying to guard. She opened it and looked inside, where she saw Benedict Pemberton and Tinker in an office/control room of sorts. Dozens of automated displays showed the status of various systems around the volcano complex. Tinker lay on a bed, in a trance or coma of some kind, and Pemberton watched over him. Pemberton gave a look toward the door when it opened, but the TInker-controlled steamsuit waved its hand and the door shut of its own accord. Luckily, Cazara had backed out of the way in time and was just outside the office, not having been seen by Pemberton before her potion wore off and she became visible again.</p><p></p><p>When she became visible, a new combatant joined the fight. On one leathery red wing and one mechanical wing, a dragon swooped down, crashing into Cazara with all its might. It chomped down on her and shook her like a rag doll. Cazara squirmed free, drank another invisibility potion, and then phased through the wall into the control room, while also manifesting the sound of herself running off in a different direction to fool the dragon. This prompted the dragon to activate its eye, made from enchanted ruby, that broke all illusions and invisibility around her, revealing Summer trying to figure out the controls to the giant laser nearby.</p><p>The dragon charged Summer, striking her with the steam-powered fist at the end of her prosthetic foreleg, sending Summer flying across the platform.</p><p></p><p>Cazara could see Pemberton talking into the end of a mechanical stick. His voice was projected to the outer chamber. “Now, you be careful out there, Tera.” After a pause, he continued. “Ain’t she a marvel, y’all? first of her kind in near two hundred years.”</p><p></p><p>Summer blinked the Tinkersuit into the Dreaming, breaking the real Tinker’s connection to it. Cazara saw the real Tinker suddenly awake with a start. Pemberton pushed him back down onto the bed, pulled out a knife and held it to the gnome’s throat. “Whoever’s in here,” he said, “y’all might want to be real careful, now.”</p><p></p><p>Tera leapt off the platform and plucked James off of his perch, flying away into the upper reaches of the room.</p><p></p><p>Alienor emerged from her search of Tinker’s various projects with a grenade launcher. She fired it at the escaping dragon but did not bring her down. In fact, the blast were probably more dangerous to her hostage than to her.</p><p></p><p>Cazara had had quite enough and she telepathically asked Tinker if he could go invisible or teleport or something. At first he said he couldn’t, but as he got his bearing, he said, yes, he definitely could, and he immediately did. And so Cazara shot Pemberton in the face, becoming visible as she did. His head half shattered because of course he was just another duplicant. Unlike other destroyed duplicants, however, Pemberton did not revert to a neutral form. He kept his shape. </p><p></p><p>Cazara and Tinker quickly made their peace. Tinker said he’d be glad to help Risur fight the Obscurati, and he had tons of ideas about how to stop Borne, and he hoped that he’d be allowed to explore some of his exciting technological ideas for the benefit of Risur, but first he just needed to grab his urn from under the bed. Cazara said that was fine.</p><p></p><p>Out in the foundry, the others were making peace with Tera, who told her story. Her egg had been kept by the Cult of the Steel Lord as a holy relic of their god-tyrant Gradiax. When Pemberton returned some years ago, he enlisted the most expensive mages in the world to figure out how to incubate a 200-year-old dragon egg. And so, seven years ago, she was born, but with some missing bits. Her left foreleg, wing, and eye were all missing and had been replaced with various enchanted and technological items. She was really looking forward to seeing what James could do for her and she didn’t see any reason for them to be fighting. </p><p></p><p>The constables promised to keep her safe and let James work on new, less-warlike prosthetics.
