Jade’s Luck talked to the Elementals to get a feel of what the island looked like. Wood told her that there were clearings to the north and to the east. He was concerned with all of the poisonous and nasty plants in the area. The Fire Elemental told her that he had two volcanoes and he wanted more. The Air Elemental was annoyed with the lack of power coming from his direction. The Earth Elemental was freaking out because the other Elementals were much more powerful than he was.

Let’s see here.</em> *pulls out a little briefcase and rifles through some papers* <em> An audit was filled against Tellus the Fierce some three hundred and sixty six thousand nine hundred thirty three days ago by the Western Spirit Court of Bala-Lalala regarding the inappropriate imprisonment of one of their Earth Elementals, commonly referred to as Rocky, for well over three hundred and sixty days more than his year and a day contract.</em></p><p></p><p>Jahar began to respond, but then was reminded he could neither see nor hear the creature.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I can’t hear you.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> <em>Huh?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Spinky:</strong> <em>The audit was authorized by the Celestial Department of Audits for the Misuse of Divine Powers over two hundred and sixteen thousand days ago.

He did, however, insist that you would be returning at some point, so the item was shelved until you could be found. A few weeks ago we received a message from the Western Spirits Courts of Bala-Lalala that Rocky has finally returned to his family and friends who were missing him so. The audit was then modified from the previous three hundred and sixty days to a three hundred and sixty six thousand nine hundred thirty three days of unnecessary and unwanted imprisonment. An item claim of inelemental boarding and cruel conditions was added to the charge. Now, if you will just escort me to the prison where Rocky was being kept so I can judge the appropriateness of the claim of inelemental and cruel living conditions we can move along to your confession.</em></p><p></p><p>The Circle ‘quickly’ discussed squishing the auditor.

I have a perfect memory.</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck tried to get out of it by telling Spinky how many days old she was and had memory of. Spinky didn’t seem to care and told her to speak to her Celestial Representative about her faulty management. She told him she was trying to make things better with what limited knowledge she had. Spinky said that would help her with future crimes, but not the case in question. She asked who her divine representative was and how she got in contact with him. He responded that it was the Unconquered Sun.</p><p></p><p>She found out that if she gave a full confession, they’d drop the inelemental charge for her.

Full confessions are best.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Tiger:</strong> <em>Decline confession. I want to see what happens.</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck tried to find out about an appeal, but it didn’t sound like a good way to go. She did find out that they’d just be seizing her property and assets in heaven, which she found out she had. She took to referring to that stuff as imaginary to annoy the auditor (the note to God).</p><p></p><p>She signed the confession, stating she had no memory of that time. She wrote a very silly note to her Divine Representative. She closed it with saying she didn’t really confess and that she was signing the confession under threat of a full audit. Jahar started to annoy the auditor with stupid questions.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> <em>You know, he could probably find an audit for you if you annoy him enough.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Spinky:</strong> <em>What was your name again? </em></p><p></p><p>With that taken care of, they proceeded to discuss how to make the new Earth Elemental’s job easier. They talked with Fire to see about expanding the pillar with lava to better support the island. They also discussed making more pillars, which Fire said he could do with more volcanoes. Jade’s Luck expressed the desire for him to be careful because to keep the mortals alive.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>But you could have your very own village of charred black people.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>That’d be awesome. </em></p><p></p><p>They sent monkeys out to survey the island. Three days later, the monkeys came back. They discussed some more, until Jade’s Luck suggested they discuss things while they walked to a settlement. So, they left the Manse heading north and continued talking. Jade’s Luck actually had a vision of the past, which she found a little freaky, but cool. She remembered standing on the very same island yelling, “<em>Why won’t you give me any clue?</em>”</p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Please worship the Unconquered Sun. We don’t know HOW to worship the Unconquered Sun, but, you know, make something up. </em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>With all the literature gone, we obviously have to make it up, so lets start.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Okay, what we do is we line them up and we make them all worship a different way. And, the one that doesn’t get smote, is the right one.</em></p><p></p><p>They started wondering where they were going to build the temple on this island. Then Tiger got the idea that the Circle just needed a ship big enough that they could cart around prefabricated temple parts for easy construction when they arrived at an island. Then they got into the topic of prefabricated followers, which A-dom liked cause that would involve zombies.</p><p></p><p>When they got to the north beach, they found that there was power coming from the north, but it was being rooted underground, where it stopped. They immediately blamed the Porposing Worm of… Whatever (they couldn’t seen to remember Vengeance’s name). So, they snuck up towards where the power was going to investigate and kick ass. A-dom and Tiger played ‘who is stealthier.’ Since it was the middle of the day and there were people milling about, Tiger couldn’t go everywhere he wanted to. A-dom made it so others didn’t notice him and just walked behind everyone. Clearly A-dom was the winner. He found the people here were praying to a rain god.

A-dom checked out the building and found a long staircase going down into the earth. Jahar found the power from the north going down there. A-dom snuck down and found a small cavern with a sacred flame and paintings on the walls and more stairs going down. There was also a barracuda bird on a perch.

They found a distinct lack of torches for light, but Jahar was glowing with a coruscant aura, so it was all good. After all, Jahar was glowing with the power of the sun, so what could go wrong?</p><p></p><p>Tiger got down there first and found the villagers trying to organize and passing out spears. He relayed this info and the others discussed/argued about what to do until the villagers had plenty of time to organize and move up the stairs.

They stood around discussing instead of acting. Jahar kept trying to direct them down the stairs, but the Circle inherently resists leadership. They got distracted by making sure a fisherman didn’t get help. Eventually Tiger went downstairs alone, with the others eventually following. They found a distinct lack of torches for light, but Jahar was glowing with a coruscant aura, so it was all good. After all, Jahar was glowing with the power of the sun, so what could go wrong? Tiger got down there first and found the villagers trying to organize and passing out spears. He relayed this info and the others discussed/argued about what to do until the villagers had plenty of time to organize and move up the stairs. Jade’s Luck was the only one to notice this. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Ideally we won't have to kill them all.[/i] Jade’s Luck ordered the approaching villagers to put down their weapons. Some of them obeyed. Luckily, the rest of the Circle either didn’t hear her or didn’t obey her. She met with limited success again when she ordered them to stop where they were. [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b] (to A-dom) [i]I hear people coming up the stairs.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] (happy) [i]Grrrr! [/i] [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b] (to A-dom) [i]Don’t kill anyone![/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] (confused)[i] Aru? [/i] Poor A-dom had to obey that order. Battle was joined. People were kicked. People were punched. People were tossed. Some fell over the side of the staircase and fell down to the waterfall below. [b]Paul:[/b] [i]Wow. The wonderful world of mortals with a spear. (pause) I need more dice. [/i] [b]Ryan:[/b] (counts dice)[i] One two three four. Wait a second. You’re trying to kill me! [/i] There was the yell of [i]Damn Sun Demons![/i] as one guy ended up in the drink. Some ran away. It was all very confusing. [/QUOTE]
