What do pirates want with a wolf, even a sentient talking one? And why have they turned up here? There have been no reports of raids on towns or attacks on shipping nearby.
Did they sail all the way here just to try their hand at slavery?
*Brother Strange looks sceptical*
Le us consider, Ringmaster. Assassins have three days to kill you. On the first, you are attacked, teleport, and they cannot locate you. It is now the second. How best to find a man who you cannot follow? Bring him to you. They already tried to attack Ida, when that failed, and you rescued her, they are probably trying again with another of your friends.
So yes, it does look 'fishy'. What do you propose?

"Snowwie looks in real bad shape. What Are We Going To Do Guys?"

*Rob thinks and racks his brain for a spell which will help, he thinks back to KMBS when a double of himself taught his lessons.*
Rob: THATS IT! The double spell, I send in a double which can speak like me and looks like me and we see what they do about it!
*Conjures up the double and commands it to walk to Snowwie's cage and attempt to open it*
Rob: Lets see how they like that!
*The double sets off*

"What A Fasinating Spell."
"I wish I could get a closer Look. I'd Love to see the looks on those Assasins Faces when That Facsimaly of you walks up bold as brass and trys to unlock Snowwie's cage."

*Rob grins a big grin and watches as the double nears the 'pirate' ship, a pirate standing on the gangplank looks mystified and before he can draw his weapon the real Rob (situated in the nearby foliage) casts a sleep spell and the pirate falls into a sleep and then falls into the sea!*

*Inside the inn The Equaliser and Edward Deal are enjoying a drink when an assassin bursts in with startling news*
Assassin: M'lady, the mage is boarding the ship!
Lady Morgan: *spilling drink down her* What? Already, is he alone?
Assassin: Yes he appears to be.
*Morgan and Deal rise and in disguise leg it to the outside and watch in amazement as Rob walks up the gangplank and sweeps over two 'pirates' with his staff*
Lady Morgan: Luckily I gave Firehawk our last red dragon caller to plant on him should such a situation arise.

"Well he's got guts I'll give him that. He hasn't got any brains but he's got guts."
"I hope it won't come to a point were we need to use a Red Dragon, Thoses beast can be very unpradictable."

Equaliser: Well both of the last two failed so I think it would be a last resort, still a red dragon is one way to stop a mage!

*The double draws closer to the cage, smashing the final 'pirate' with his staff and sending him crashing into the ocean below. All of a sudden Firehawk steps out from below deck*
Rob: I knew it, he's one of the assassins, we were right to suspect them.
Firehawk: *to the double* Well mage, you certainly are a tricky one I'll warrant you. However you will soon be dead. Now put down the staff.
*the double does nothing but continues to walk towards the cage*
Firehawk: HEY! Are you listening to me? *Takes out a box containing the red dragon caller and pulls out his sword* Turn around and face me now! HEY!

*The assassin's strike is about to make contact when the real RMR summons an air demon onto the ship's deck, with a quick blow of breath the air dmeon blows the younger assassin off the ship and far out into the sea. Firehawk is losing his patience* Firehawk: Coward! do you ignore me still? I have never seen cowardice of this nature *taking the red dragon caller from its box* NOW TURN AND FACE ME! *The double continues until it is standing over the cage, Firehawk attempts to throw the red dragon caller at Rob but it goes through the ghostly image and lands on the cage* Firehawk: Wha? An image! The dragon caller! *The red dragon appears and roasts the cage, thankfully the real RMR has cast a protection spell on Snowwie. The dragon then claws through the cage and throws it off the ships completely, it shatters into small bits. The chained and muzzled Snowwie looks confused and hurt and she is still under the effect of darkness powder.* Firehawk: *Yelling at the red dragon* You stupid wyrm, can you not tell what a real target is? You smash a vase in the freak creatures hut and now a cage, you should die for this! *The Red dragon is a beast with heavy pride and this attempt to damage is does not go down well, he swings one of his massive claws at Firehawk and the swipe slices the man's chest open and red stains blossom through his now tattered armour. He tries to speak but only blood pours out. Shame reallly as he wanted to thank the dragon for ending his misery. He wasn't ever that happy with his life and now he could be at rest. He slipped out of existance.* Rob: Snowwie! *Rushes towards her and removes the muzzle and chains* Are you alright? Did they hurt you? *Meanwhile Morgan and Deal remain open mouthed in their hiding place after watching these dramatic events. The red dragon does a victory stomp which causes the boat to crack and splinter and begin to sink. Then the dragon disappears.* [OOC: Sorry it's so long but it was the best way I could resolve it in one post. Sorry I didn't PM anyone about it but me and Bob just thought it up a few minutes ago! ]

"That Stupied Beast. I Told you you couldn't trust one of those creatures."
"I Would now sujest My Lady that we Remove our selves from the imeediat area, Befor anyone spots us."
*Lady Morgan agrees and The two villianes flee in different directions. Edward Deal rounds The side of the docks Inn.*
Gojng Some were Mr. Deal?"
*Edward Spins round and finds himself face to face with Tom."
"Who, Oh The Magican. Yes as a matter of Fact I am going some were back to Wolfenden Market to resume my place at my stall. *Deal clutchs his Pouch of Drakness Powder.* "Alas My good sir You will not see me leave."
*He Hurls the Powder at Toms Eyes. But Tom quikly mumbals a spell and the powder changes direction and hits Deal squre in the face.*
"ARRRRRGH. MY EYES, ARR MY EYES."
*Deal Colapses in a heap on the floor.*

*Tom looks down at the blinded Trader and regards him with a cold eye and says in an unemotional and calm matter of fact voice.* "That my dear fellow was for Miss Kully and Skarkill. Don't worry I made sure you only got a small dose. A taste of your own medican so to specke It'll were of in a couple of hours. Now My good sir I bid you farewell." *Tom walks away, leaveing the blinded Deal to stumble blindly back towards Wolfenden.* *Tom reurns to the dock to make sure that Snowwie has been rescued, once he is sure that all is well he quiatly slips away from Rob, Snowwie and Brother Strange. He walks down a side street and starts to mumbal his Teleport spell.* "Were will I end up this time I wounder?" *He muses as he fades from sight, He starts to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on his recorder. Soon Tom has faded from sight and all that is left is the last few echos of his music.* [ModNote: It's not really possible to say where Tom goes next: due to his previous posting in multiple threads simultaneously, there have effectively been two Tom Troughtons all this time. The 'other' Tom's adventures can be followed from Ursula Appears onwards.]
