"Hmmmm, indeed. But we must not judge him on the bases of his race, Or on who his brother and what HE has done in the past, or for whom."
*Looks pointedly at Rob.*
"Because If I hear rightly your side once hired Leytan to carry out an assasination of one of Scareye's demons."
"But as for the matter in hand. My gut instincst tells me he is trustworthy, besides he only arrived in Wolfenden 2 days ago, Deal/Nesty has been missing for 3, were his brother here then yes I would be suspicious."
"Besides from what little I've heard Of Zeytan he is a Philosiper and Scoller more thrn a warrior All though like all members of the Clan Tan he can fight."
"I say we can trust him Rob."

*Rob does not know of the Leytan being hired by his side so he looks surprised but listens to Tom's words*
Rob: Well I'll allow you to be the judge, if you regard him trustworthy I am in no position to argue without magics I cannot detect his intentions by any means other than my own paranoia which I can't let run my life. I shall trust him.
*Rob walks forward in the direction of the hastily tracking Zeytan to see what he has found.*

*As thr group made there way up towards the Caves. They were un aware of the figuer watching them from the shadows of one of the cave mouths.* [ModNote: Last seen here.] "So The Hobo has tracked me down well, I'll settle him and his three freinds." "At least I'm going to have the pleshure of DEALING him a fatle Blow." *The Piercing Blue eye's blazed, with harterd, anger, evil intension, revenge and something new something that had not been there befor. Or mabey it had and it had just never shown. Madness. Madness was evident in Deal's eyes, as he with drew into the shadows to wait.* (Continued in "The Last Deal")

*Tom, Zeytan and Rob serched the caves system. Deal could here them each time he would duck and dive, hide in the shadows. He was playing a very dangerous game of Cat and mouse with them. He was luring them into a death trap.*
"That's it my little fools, chase the shadows, follow your own pied piper to your doom."
"He must be here some were."
*Deal thought he reconised the voice but couldn't remeber were from.*
"Deal IS here and we WILL find him."
*The Hobo's voice, no mistake there.*
"The quary has been this way, follow me I've picked up his trail again."
*He had never heard that voice befor. But the twang in the voice told him it was an Atlantian.*
"Hmmm so they brought in a Tracker. Well thats just one more problem to disspose of."
*Deal emerged from the cave system a few feet in frount of him was a fatele drop to the crashing water of the falls below. He patted his Darkness powerd.*
"Perfect."
*Deal hid in the bushes just beside the mouth of the cavem entrence/exit. Footsteps were comeing.*
"Hold up Zeytan. Let me go first I've dealt with Mr. Deal befor. I'm wise to his tricks."
"Oh But I've got a new one for you Hobo."
*Deal smiled malishesly, then he saw Tom exit the cave.*
"I don't see him my friends."
"BUT I SEE YOU HOBO. And in a few moments you won't see anything EVER AGIAN."
*Deal imerged from his hideing place and befor Tom could react he threw a whole pouch of Darkness poweder in to his face. Tom stumbale blindly back towards the edge. Deal leped down and with a flick of his writs his knife was out and at Rob's (Who had come out to aid Tom) throat.*

*Tom had full expected to feel the sting, buring pain of the Darkness powder but instead his eyes just wartered.*
"Sand?"
*He said quiatly as he pretneded to be blind and stager towrds his doom. but realy he was getting into a better possition.*
< Deal>
"Now then as for you two. After I've cut your throats you'll join your Hobo freind there at the bottom of the Dunn river."
"Wrong Deal."
*Tom had mabe it to were he wanted to be, and as Deal turned round in shock a well aimed Kick from Tom knocked Deal's knife out of his hand and sent it sailing over the edge. Deal tried to run but Zeytan emegred from the cave and blocked his way.*
"Now then Deal I belive you have some info for us? About Lord Scareye and his plot against my friend Ringmaster Rob?"
"Not in a million years Hobo. Nothing you can do would make me talk."
"Mabey but I'm sure I can make you talk."
*Zeytan said softly.*
"With your permission Mr. Troughton."
"Of corse Zeytan."
*Befor he knew what was happaning Zeytan had grab Deal's shoulders.*
"Let me go."
*Deal strugled but sudernly he found he couldn't take his eye's away from Zeytan'.*

*Zeytan's voice is heard in Deal's mind only. Tom & Rob do not hear him specke*
"You are tired, your mind is going blank, you are not thinking of anything, nothing but sleep. You want to rest, to sleep."
*Deal's head wobbals slighlty then slumps forward but, he remains standing.*
"You are now in my power and you will ansrewe my questions. Understand you will ansrewer my questions and you will anserw truthfully."
<Out Load>
"He's under what do you wish me to ask him?"
<Tom> "Ask him what he knows about Scaeye's plot."

*In a trance.*
"Lord Scareye sent his servent Visage to see me. He had used a spell to chance my apperence. Now I was to repay the favor."
"Visage gave me a silver coin and some gloves. He told me that I was not to touch the coin with my bare skin as it would be fatle to anyone but him I had to deliver it to Ringmaster Rob. He would have done it himslef but the Ringmaster can sence when he's about. So i was to make sure Rob touch the coin and then return it to Visage."
"I accomplished this when under the guise of Henry Oliver Nesty I pressed the coin into Robs hand as suppoesed change for suppling tempoary accomadation for The Borading School. I the retived it by pick pocketing him. I deliverd it to Visage who had assumed the shap of a street urchin after brakeing the real urchins neck."
"I was then informed to go into hideing, and Scareye with drew his spell from me."

Rob: YOU BASTARD! *Rob punches Deal in the eye, even in his weakened state Deal is clearly hurt, however as a side effect he's knocked out of the trance* You did this to me, after everything you've done death is too good for you!
*Rob stops and is overcome by a fit of coughing*

*Rob rubs his fist satisfied with what just happened to Deal*
Rob: The coin could be, I don't know it certainly helped Visage drain my power but wether or not it's a 2 way thing remains to be seen. A shame Mr Deal didn't have more to say, Visage might still have the coin but if so how can we get his crowds of... *Rob remembers something, a spell he was gifted* ... The RIOT spell! Of course, it will confuse them all so we can get to Visage. That just leaves the problem of Mr Deal then.
*Rob turns to look at Deal only to find that...*

*Deal's fist conected with Tom's jaw and sent him spralling backwards and a Kick to the rib cage floored Zeytan.*
"Ringmaster? HA How the mighty have fallen. Reduced to a pathetic weake coman man."
"Well after I've killed you Lord Scareey is sure to let me have my protection Spell Back."
*Be for Rob could Move Deal's strong Hands were round his throat squeezzing the life out of him.*
"Die Ringmaster, Die the way you condmed me to die, gasping for breath on the gallows."
*Rob was losseing concuisness, then just befor he blacked out the preshure on his neack was relessed. He looked up to see Tom and Deal locked in a furrius struggle......Right beside the edge of the drop.*
