It can open a portal and we can dive in--Leaving Zenji.....Oh, fine, we can push or drag him with us... let's see, I think we're close enough we could get inside the room where the hostages are held....That'd still leave this guy with our blaster.  And Zenji's sword.Hrm, point.  Well, we could.... damn, we still don't know what all the kid can do with his staff.  And even if we did, we can't coordinate anything with him in secret, since we don't know what languages he speaks, we don't have any sort of telepathic connection, and it's somewhat doubtful he'd even follow a plan.We could surrender, see if that gets us lead to the Minister.  Villains do tend to like ranting and revealing info to a captive audience; we could gather some intel.  Maybe even pull the "hey, I really came to join your side!" ploy, like we did with that old guy in Dusseldorf.Hrrmmm... well, you know I hate the though of surrendering, even temporarily,but that plan does have some merit.  And it might give us a chance to beat on Zenji, to 'prove our sincerity.'  Yeah, we--'Course, if this guy's illusions are mental things -- which seems to be partially the case, since Zenji and we had different reactions when he tried to grab at it -- then it's possible he's reading Archeville's mind.  And, even though we think far faster than normal folks, he may at least be able to get a partial read.....[/sblock]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=922931" target="_blank">Archeville's initiative.
