[ModNote: Continued from Recriminations.] * Hands enters Lord Fear's observation chamber on the lift platform carrying a sack. * 'Ello, your Lordship. You remember young Count Brinkatore told you about some servants of the Powers That Be 'oo'd given us trouble? * Hands unceremoniously dumps at Lord Fear's feet the contents of the sack: a girl in a catatonic trance, barefoot and wearing an expensive and rather revealing dress, with her hands tied behind her back: Midnight. * 'Ere's one of 'em. Oh, and I'm armed now. * Shows Lord Fear his newly and illicitly acquired sword and shield. *

[ModNote: Lord Fear was last seen in Returning to Marblehead.] *Lord Fear gets up from his throne and circles Midnight before staring her in the face* "Wonderful Hands, you finally done something right for a change, well there was that time when you caught that dungoeneer, but that was such along time ago" said Lord Fear. "Finally I see you're properly armed now, excellant, is there anything that you've seen or sighted?" asked Lord Fear before sitting at his throne again.

* Hands stops reminiscing on the aforementioned crowning moment of his career (not that it takes a lot to crown a career like his), the capture of January in the sixth phase of the Dungeon, and answers Lord Fear. *
Not much, your Lordship. The rich nob is 'avin' some big party to open the Wolf's Howl and 'e's got some big, strong guards, but you probably seen that in your screen. That Chinaman found some teleport spell on 'is stall and left. Oh, and there was this strange man next to this here gel, not movin', just like 'er. Never seen 'im before.

"You dolt, Hands!" cried Lord Fear. "Why didn't you bring the man as well?"
"I could never 'ave carried both of 'em, your Lordship," replied Hands.
"Oh, I suppose not, your body's as feeble as your mind," said Fear, turning to the viewscreen, in which two familiar goblins appeared. "Grippa, Rhark, if you're in time you'll find a strange-looking man in a trance - where was he, Hands?"
"Outside the kitchen door of the Wolf's Howl."
"There you have it. Fetch!" The goblins disappeared from view. "I'm now going to wait until are little 'guest' snaps out of her trance so I can get some answers out of her," said Lord Fear, smirking.

* Grippa and Rhark arrive bearing Coriolis, who remains in his trance. * "So this is the man?" said Fear. "He looks just as spaced out as the girl, and both of them even more so than you after just one swig of Old Heggatty's Dungeon Juice, Hands, so count yourself lucky you didn't ruin things."

"Oh, your Lordship, can I keep this necklace of 'ers as a souvenir?"

"Very well Hands, have the man taken to a cell by the goblins while the female remains with us for me to question" said Lord Fear with him leaning his head on his arm.

*While Coriolis, like Midnight still 'elsewhere', is dragged off along the floor to an uncertain fate. Dear old Hands tries to avail Midnight of the seemingly harmless trinket around her neck. He isn't prepared for the consequences however..........*
*Both jewels let out a flash of Blue and Green light and catch the Beggar from opposing angles. Lifting him more than 6 feet in the air. His cries of pain echo around the expansive chamber before he is tossed with the grace of a rag-doll back to the floor. A subtle vapour emanating from his charred cloak...*

"I'm impressed, but I wouldn't bother trying that little trick on me" said Lord Fear standing up from his throne.
"If you do the I'll just reverse it without even blinking."

[ModNote: Awaking from Arios - Magic Lesson in the dreamscape.] *Midnight slowly blinks expecting to see the shape-shifter next to the inn. All she sees is a man upon a throne.* Midnight: Oh oh!! *Looking round the room slowly Midnight see's the shape-shifter doing the same thing and spies a rather unhappy Sly Hands on the floor.* *Midnight mutters to the shape-shifter* Is that why we're back here.??Where ever here is.

*Coriolis is just as confused as his companion.* I can only guess so... this doesn't look good for us... [Thinking to himself:] Damn it! Yet another younglings mistake! WHY did I choose to walk with her when we couldn't guarantee our safety? Stupid! STUPID!

"It's about time I introduced myself, I am Lord Fear, the Leader of the Opposition, and you both are my 'guests'," said Lord Fear as he walked away from his throne.
"I hope you enjoy your little stay, because, you'll both be here for a very, very long time!!!"

*It takes several minutes for the information to sink in for Midnight. One minute she was in her mind and having a good time for once and then all of a sudden here she was. She suddenly remembers what she is wearing or to her mind not wearing.* *Looking down she also realises that she is bare foot.* *Thinks* Oh great half undressed and no shoes to use as a weapon....against Lord Fear. *To Lord Fear* I wondered when I'd be seeing you...though I didn't think it would be this soon or this way....

*Noticing that Midnight is Bound but for some reason he is not, Coriolis quickly becomes the Tiger... However, Fading would take too long and be noticed by the Techno-mage*
*The White Tiger gets up from the floor and charges toward Fear with an ear-splitting roar of defiance. He will cow-tow to nobody!*
*At the last second he leaps, aiming for the mages face with all four sets of claws fully drawn...*

Lord Fear holds his hand out sending a FireBall at Coriolis
"Try that again and your friend gets roasted" said Lord Fear aiming a FireBall at Midnight.
