As a compromise, I propose the following ninja action: we first create a distraction by setting Enoch on fire, then we abscond with the fair Sally.

Kill Enoch - Glass, SC
Spread Suicidal Volunteer Goo about the castle - Dolosus, Questorhank
Rescue Sally, dammit- Ziizo, Doomblade, ZBridges, Egan_BW, Enemy Post
A fair(ly inflammatory) compromise: Radio

(Just like everyone else, Ninjas can only do ONE action per turn. Also players can also vote for ninja actions as far as I've heard )

((Ah, but we are only doing one thing, it's just that the revised Plan for Prompt Saving of the Sally has some integral subunits, much like how drinking a glass of water requires moving your arm, grabbing the glass, bringing it aaall the way to you mouth, swallowing the water, the whole shebang.))

You either set fire to Enoch or Rescue Sally, not both. Ninjas only get 1 action. Also I don't think Enoch can be set on fire because he's covered in void and space.

[Radio Controlled]

We are rescuing Sally by, among other things, setting fire to people. That's clearly a single thing, clearly. 

Anyways, fixed vote tally.

Maxime listens with distaste to the screams from the basement. Preferring to die human, she goes upstairs to de-possess Sally using the dreamlice. Evil spirits are just neuroses capable of hitting back, really.


Maxime also finds time to talk to Mordred as he polls, perching on a table and scrutinizing him intensely.

"Mordred. People have told me that you have rather advanced ideas concerning the importance of monarchy. In light of present circumstances, perhaps you would be willing to discuss them with me? Confidentially, of course."

Nallihen cringed as his magnificent wizardry outfit was covered in the goo that had a moment ago been one of his crazy followers. That was disgusting even if he had been expecting that sort of problem. There was no escaping the nastiness of people-slime when you were dealing with newbies. That was also a pretty clear sign he'd been correct to try and refine his teaching technique with a single guinea pig before teaching more advanced techniques to the rest of his flock, since that week had basically been a waste.

"NO! Come on, you fool! I told you to control the amount of power, you were not supposed to pop like that." he huffed, trying to clean himself and splattering some of the goo back on the floor. He was about to try and help the volunteer put themselves back together when he received a letter from Cio. He didn't want anything to do with the eldritch princess and her eldritch handlers, but he didn't dislike the other mages, and Cio was a particularly nice person, so he retrieved his inkwell and wrote a reply while idly picking goo off his hat and cloak.

Cio, while I appreciate your letter I am afraid my status is not respected in the mage guild. They also turned the princess into something horrible and I refuse to return to teach her anything unless that is fixed. You are welcome to come and visit me, as I am currently working on making my cult understand that I am not a crab and also teaching them the arcane secrets I was prevented from thanks to the actions of some of our companions.

Keep me updated and come help me. We could have some stale biscuits together while helping the peasantry discover the true power of magic.

With the letter written, he sealed it and send a runner to the tower before getting back to the matters at hand: rebuilding his volunteer. Well, that was going to be quite the experience for both of them!

Nallihen magically helps the suicidal volunteer polymorph themselves back into normal.

Snail mail was better than nothing, but not better than air mail, when people knew where each other's location was; and mastery of air magic, too, on one side.

Nallihen! It is so nice to have one person finally respond to me--and one person who is not permanently in the tower, too! I've performed my part in scrying, and while the future is vague, whatever was done to the princess can be fixed--it is temporary, inasfar as the skill of my colleagues are as they are. However, my magic and powers are unable to counter it myself, with what skill I have in life magic and otherwise. It needs to come from them, and I fear they will continue teaching her in their thinking that she will be a capable apprentice under them, which I assume will never happen, because they are teaching at a degree and level far beyond a simple novice. Rapport was not even built, as the early weeks I've spent with her shown; she hated the whole place, she hated the garden grass, and she hated me--until I found out it was more her frustrations...and I found out it was more than that, too.

I will require support in my endeavors to...fix this; I am sad to say 'fix', as there should be better options at hand, but I do not know my other colleagues as I do you. If you can turn some help my way, that would be great; even people I can train would be a good benefit, preferably away from the tower as there is still this ineffable strangeness occurring.

Hope to see you soon; hopefully the princess will not get worse this week. Take care there!

Re-reading Nallihen's letter was comforting. Cio did wonder if the mages currently occupied with the princess...wished to train a more 'human' subject rather than whatever they did to her; at least, she hoped those curses were temporary.

Guys, saving Sally is the main goal of the compromise!
It's just that setting Enoch on fire is an instrumental part of achieving that goal.

I literally have no other reason for posting except that setting people on fire = yes.

I bet the fire is going to do something really stupid when it reacts to the eldritch vents in reality. Like exploding or spawning more eldritch horrors.

Oh boy, you're right, let's hope it does!
