Mordred sensed a change coming over the tower. Perhaps it was a difference in mushroom growth (he fondly patted a cute little green mushroom that had started growing from his bed), or the flickering light and maniacal laughter coming from their newest pyromancer, or the way their shared apprentice was now crying about .. still having some vestige of humanity?

Or it could have been Enoch having apparently transcended into becoming a purer form of Enoch.

Regardless, he felt that the coming days would be a useful forge for his Rabble Guard. He needed Revolutionary Guards, not mere rabble!

Micromanage my guards into more general usefulness! Actually dealing with threats (like whatever Enoch's latest problem is) should work.

((Isn't the cabal only in their minds/shared waking dreams?))
We're dealing with insane wizards. What difference does this have from their reality?
Well, now we're not the ones to blame. Can't you guys just rescue this random girl already and leave us to destroy the world in peace?

"No no no. This will not do. Enoch doesn't run. Enoch doesn't fight. Enoch doesn't think. Enoch doesn't live.
Enoch teaches. Enoch has to teach now.
Dismantle the body, corrupt the soul, destroy the mind. The dead can never die. Enoch is the avatar, I pull the strings."

Enoch grabs the princess by the arms and screams to her the eldritch truth and the lessons of Dagon Magic, ignoring everything else. She has to learn.
If anything blocks Enoch from teaching, use Dagon Magic itself to allow Enoch to teach the princess by any means possible. Even if that involves using it on himself, the princess, the tower, the mages, etc.

One day, I might not be there for her anymore. While Enoch continues the lessons, attemp to have the princess gain some initiative and try to learn by herself, like Sally and the other mages. When Enoch dies, she will have to continue her own training alone.

Well, at least now we don't have to deal with the idiots who thought messing with the cabal was a good idea. Best leave them to their fates.

I keep reading Enoch's lines in a house elf voice.

I mean fire does solve everything if you use enough of it.

Console Princess; hopefully this is the edge of realization that's needed to help her move herself.

To all mages, especially exotic mages--stop training the Princess directly and use your skills to either help with the tower, or help fix this mess you put us all into, please!

Cio could only create short and concise messages to the others as she dealt with the heavily taxing task of managing things in an environment laden with self-centric pursuits and thoughtless training. This was purely why there should be a curriculum, or at least some manner of coordination between trainers. Nobody else bothered to reply, too, which gave her the impression that they were only looking after themselves.

"Proper vision. Autonomous psychoarthropodic constructs. Ja, this is not good. Not good at all."

Maxime runs. Finds somewhere else in the Kingdom. If the visions go away, she finds a girl that looks reasonably like Marcille used to, and explains to the parents that their daughter is in fact of royal blood, along with some cock-and-bull story about switched cradles and huntsmen and evil counts.

Maxime also sends a short note in reply to Cio.

To all mages, especially exotic mages--stop training the Princess directly and use your skills to either help with the tower, or help fix this mess you put us all into, please!
Cio Cioae,
While your advice on discontinuing Marcille's education is sensible and perceptive, I believe that nothing further can be done for the tower. The situation is simply beyond repair. As such, I suggest that we retreat at once, and pretend to the council that some backwoods peasant girl is the Princess, in order to spend the following years in wealth and security, making preparations against the end of the age of man. This is what I shall devote myself to directly.
If you know of anyone sane who would be willing to assist me, do not hesistate to tell them of my actions.

Good luck with all future endeavours,
Maxime

Just two months happened!

Prophecies don't work that fast, unless there was some catalyst to it--and that is usually artificial in action. These effects, while SEEMINGLY VERY harsh, are only the superficial points to address when facing benign and foundational magic. These injections of pure magic do not mix well with the physics we live with, which is why magic should be controlled. Which is why I deeply address all exotic mages to stop training the Princess when she is neither a neophyte in foundational magic, or even knowledgeable about any of these when she is not being guided by any 'tutor'.

These...'errors' with the tower can be fixed. Each one of you contributed to it. You can amend it.

((IF we remembered this, we'd all know there are ninjas or other collaborators ruining stuff--because Enoch being stuffed in a bag is VERY WORRYING if any of us found out.

Apparently we are very...err, dim, with our spot checks, as the GM never mentioned it :P And somehow YOU STILL GET TO TEACH THE PRINCESS while being stuffed in a bag))
