Zenith City, AntarcticaFallas d’ Florist knows what’s coming for him.
Of course, he’s only known for seconds. But in other ways, he’s discussed it for hours. Right now he’s standing in his lab within the capital building.
Nothing visible occurs. But silently, high in hammerspace, strings are cut and rearranged. Channels are opened.
Fallas, as he is, simply stops. He’s still there, somewhere. Just not
here.
: NOW THAT WASN’T A VERY NICE THING TO DO, WAS IT, MR. PLOT?
The Plot:
This was not something that I did. It is in the rules. It was promised.: WELL, THERE’S NOTHING TO BE DONE… MOVING ON!
"Okay, now," says Celling. "We're going to-"
He's interrupted - yet again - by a loud crash and screech in the luggage compartments. Seething, he opens it up to find the parrot, looking disheveled and squashed beneath a pile of blankets. Weakly, it holds out a piece of paper.
REPORT OF SGT. VINCENT NELSON, COMMANDER OF FIRST INTERPLANAR EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, FOLLOWS:
A defensive perimeter around the room containing the Gate has been established and is holding steady. Enemy engaged from various access points to the castle, but blocked from reaching the Gate Room. Enemy forces appear to be orange-skinned humanoids with distinctive and alarming atypical features. Enemy poorly armed, but attack in large numbers. Casualties moderate - seven dead and twelve wounded. Send reinforcements.
Scouting unit 7 found a secret passageway to office of enemy commander known as “Redcloak, High Priest of the Dark One”. Operation to assassinate or capture under consideration. Contact with scouting parties 5 and 8 lost. Possibly killed or captured. Consider the secrecy of the operation potentially jeopardized.
Contact made with part of an allied elite mercenary/vigilante group terming themselves “The Order of the Stick”. Part of group contacted lead by archer named “Haley Starshine”, accompanied by a... person of unusually small stature named “Belkar Bitterleaf”. Former leader of the group is deceased, but group claims to have the ability to resurrect him with correct resources. Whereabouts of rest of group unknown. Last known location - on the docks with evacuation fleet.
Celling turns back to the parrot. "Get a copy to Merrowitz."
"Already done," says the parrot.
