*Nesty see's a slim chance.*
"His Lordship only needs the blood of one of these creature."
<He thinks.>
*With an artistic flick of the wrist his conceld knife springs from his sleve, and with one acute slash he has opened up a wound on the weak Pegatore and used a magic container to absorbe some of the blood.*
"Thank you my dear Pegator. You have just erned me my wages."
*Nesty turns and runs he dashes to wards the trees, but then in a moment of compasion or more likely fear he turns and runs to pull the goblin away from Ursula and drags it with him.*

*To his horror, when he goes to find the goblin's corpse it seems to have vanished, and now Ursula is almost upon him once again....*
*Just at that moment, another huge bear enters the clearing. Standing upright, it bears a terrible resemblance to Ursula, but seems more wild. It grabs Nesty in its arms, and bodily carries him away from Ursula's attack, deeper into the forest*

(OOC: Gee, if he only needed some of Medusia's blood there was plenty of it pooled on the ground... ;D)
*The scent of fresh blood is like a scream to Ursula's sense of smell. She turns back to Medusia, a huge paw quickly locating the wound as the other gently strokes the Pegathor's neck reassuringly. Ursula is just as capable of using her healing magic in Crinos as she is in her human form, and although she is running low on spiritual energy to power it, there is enough to heal Medusia's knifewound*

*Deeper into the forest, far away from Ursula, the other Crinos puts the stuggling Nesty down, and speaks in a voice which is Ursula's, but a tone which is not, it has too much of a sneer* Dramatic, Deal, but not really necessary considering the blood already left on the ground. And don't try playing the imitation game... leave that to the experts... *The figure shimmers, and in a few moments the familiar grey-cowled form of Visage stands before Nesty* [ModNote: Last seen in A talk.] Nevertheless, I am gratified that you afforded me the opportunity to steal this excellent new form. I am sure it will come in most useful...

"Well it worked on that Julia Girl."
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"Oh my word. Somedays it's just not worth getting up. First Hordriss confiscates my Spy glass and now I nearly get torn to shreads by some infernal were creature."

*Ursula's head raises blindly as she hears and smells the other Crinos, but she does not leave Medusia's side. Although she cannot see, her senses of hearing and smell give her an accurate picture of the scene, and for a few seconds she is frozen in a mix of confusion and shock... another Guhral in the forest? One that smells and sounds like herself?*
*Getting to her feet, Ursula is about to investigate futher, then remembers her current duty to Medusia, and sinks back down beside the Pegathor, shifting to Bjornen as she does so. This mystery can be investigated later, and her full attention returns to the Pegathor*
"I think we need to find a safer place, until you are well enough to return home. There is a cave a short distance from here, it will be more easily defensible, I can help you there if you wish."
*Although she still cannot see, Ursula looks about the clearing, trying to pick up Equula's scent in some worry since she has heard no sound from the Pegafoal*
"Equula? I think you can come out now..."

Deceiving some lovesick child is hardly worthy of an award Deal.
However, this is not important. Our Lord Scareye has sent me with this:
*He produces a what looks like a small silver coin and a pair of gloves*
We are about to carry out a masterly plan, Deal. First, put on these gloves. Now take this artifact. You must make sure that the Ringmaster touches this silver disc. How is of no importance, perhaps in change for a payment? Once he has touched it, bring it to me, and we can begin.
It is unfortunate that I cannot carry this out myself, but the Ringmaster is the only person hereabouts who can detect my prescence, so it must be you.
Oh, and Deal, whatever you do, do NOT touch the coin yourself. That is what the gloves are for...

*Ursula's gaze is caught by ripples on the surface of the pool of mystical water, which she'd drawn from earlier whilst helping with the birth. Two golden orbs rise towards the surface; a head emerges; and with barely a splash, a pair of wings unfurls. Equula climbs into the air, endowed with a grace rarely seen among newborns of any species. The pegafoal's coat is shimmering from the waters, like a jewelled necklace at a party, with the forest leaves (and of course, Ursula and Medusia) as hushed spectators. For one awesome moment, Equula hovers; then it glides towards its mother.*

*Hearing the soft splash, Ursula turns her head towards the pool, unfortunately unable to see Equula rise from the water as the Darkness powder still blinds her. But she can smell the foal, and is relieved to find that it is uninjured.*
"Come, we should leave this place before any scavengers are attracted by the blood..."
*She strokes Medusia's neck gently, hoping the Pegathor is up to the journey*

*As Ursula atends to the Pegathor and it's foal there is in her mind for a few spilt seconds an image of a place that is un familer to her but she see's Tom the real one he appers to be in trouble. Then as quickly as it came it is gone.* (OOC: This is just the dieing mental link left between Ursula, Tom and Hordriss following The Forge. Because Tom is in trouble in the Dungeon and has thought of Ursula to inspier himself to have courage his thoughts have momenteraliy transferd to Ursula.)

*Ursula sways in disorientation as the mental immage appears in her mind's eye, feeling as if she is in two places at once. then, as suddenly as it appeared, the image is gone.*
"...Tom... he's in trouble... but where?"
*Having no idea where the dungeons are loacted, Ursula is at a loss for what to do... and is loath to leave Medusia and her foal while Medusia is still recovering, since the Forest of Dunn is full of predators that will quickly take advantage of the Pegathor's weakened state*

*Again as Lord Fear advance on Tom in the dungeon his fear carries over to Ursula.*
*This time there is almost cry for help in the vision, and Ursula is sure she saw Tom reach out to her.*

*This time there is no gap between the visions as at third enters Ursula's head. This time she hears Tom's voice.*
"Ursula I need your Help. Can you hear me. Ursula my freind can you hear me I am in need of your help."

*Torn by conflicting loyalties, Ursula is unsure what to do, not wanting to leave the Pegathors since she has promised to protect them*
"Tom? I cannot help you... I do not know where you are, and I cannot abandon my current duty, the creatures I am with need my protection!"

*Tom's voice is decressing in sound as more alarmimngly is his image as a shadow appers looming over him the shadow oviously has evil intesions.*
"I can teleport you, Don't worry about the Pegathor I can send a temporay sheild to protect it."
*Then an evil laugh echos throw Ursulas mind, the last image she see's is Tom's face with a look of shere terror on his face. His voice is till audiable though.*
"URSULA."
