	As Shawna sets the final artifact fragment and completes the thirteenth ritual, a glowing, golden dragon spreads its fifty-foot wings, rising up over the burning buildings. In a high-pitched, squeaky voice it asks, "Where am I? What must I do? May I go home?" Shawna replies simply, "You are free." "They must be waiting for me... May Yasseph become more --" And the liberated dragon blazes up and away through the night skies.

	"What is he talking about?" Alastor asks the babbling guard's buddy, who replies, "He gets these, I don't know... he's located people before... but this time he's gone crazy."

Alastor: "You should get him out of here before he makes a scene."

	Although severely wounded, Chun fights his way through to the king and strikes several times, killing him. The blinded Protector is groping slowly toward the snarling tiger. Ahn-Lee kicks hard at the Protector's knee and the Protector falls down. Ahn-Lee jams a poisoned needle through a joint in the Protector's armor. "Time to go!" He quickly takes stock: two of his team members (the crossbowman and one of his guild mates) are dead and Chun has passed out. Ahn-Lee asks Branamin, "Can you heal Chun?" Branamin transforms back and casts a healing spell, and Chun wakes up. Leaving the suite, Ahn-Lee grins as he sees several bodies lying in the hallway where he'd ~~through~~ the sleep bomb.

	Ahn-Lee throws a sleep bomb down a hallway that will not be used when they evacuate. He says, "Chun, the king is yours," then kicks open the door. Confronting him is an imposing, well-armored Protector with a bastard sword in one hand and energy swirling around the other. Five other guards are in the room, and Ahn-Lee glimpses the king behind them. Ahn-Lee fires Tiny Crossbow and the bear-poisoned bolt 'luckily' punctures the Protector's shoulder. The Protector gasps and falls to one knee, then struggles to stand. Branamin transforms into a snarling tiger. Chun, disregarding the guards, weaves his way toward the king. The bowmen fire. Ahn-Lee acrobatically dodges the Protector's attack, fast-draws two daggers, and drives both of them through the Protector's eyeslits. The swirling energy fades away.

	Two city guards come around the side of the warehouse. Seeing Alastor they do a double-take, then draw weapons and start toward him. Calmly, Alastor lights a special cigarette and takes a puff. One of the guards exclaims, "You look wrong! You look wrong!" Alastor gazes back, unperturbed, as the guard babbles, "I thought you did it somehow!" Alastor looks at the guard quizzically until he winds down, mumbling "Fire... I thought you had something to do with the fire... but you couldn't have..."

			At the twelfth point Chalker sees a Protector approaching from 200 yards away, running 20mph. Reaching out with his metal TK, Chalker first tries to twist his helm around, then pulls it to one side. The Protector slams hard into a building, bounces off the building and falls to the ground, coming up limping and attempting to draw his sword. Chalker grasps the boot on the Protector's lame leg and jerks it to the right, making him fall down again. As Chalker and Shawna mount up and ride away, Chalker pulls the same leg straight back and the Protector face-plants.

	Alastor's storehouse is the group's meeting/staging location. Ahn-Lee goes over his and Kimtri's plans; they will infiltrate the palace together, then Ahn-Lee's team will go after the king and Kimtri's, the heir. Alastor has selected a cluster of buildings that he will set on fire as a distraction.		Alastor's storehouse is the group's meeting/staging location. Ahn-Lee goes over his and Kimtri's plans; they will infiltrate the palace together, then Ahn-Lee's team will go after the king and Kimtri's, the heir. Alastor has selected a cluster of buildings that he will set on fire as a distraction.

			From the shadows Ahn-Lee bumps past a palace guard, growling "Get the hell out of the way" while injecting him with a delayed-action poison. Rolf does the same.

			At 11:45, Alastor sets some curtains in the first building on fire, then tosses an accellerant on them. The flames soon reach the kerosene he had placed previously. Back at his storehouse, he changes into "less sketchy" clothing.

			Chalker guides Shawna to the first of the thirteen points. Invoking Delsa and Cor, mentally reaching out to the dragon spirit, she successfully performs the first ritual.

			Just before midnight, the poisoned guards collapse. Ahn-Lee orders the charge onto the palace grounds.

			By the third point, Shawna senses the dragon spirit stirring, confused. At the fourth, she can tell it can dimly sense the fire. At the fifth, Chalker can detect a presence; at the sixth, it is awakening, looking around, confused. At the seventh, Shawna silently projects to it, "You are safe here." The ritual succeeds, but it is a close call; the dragon is starting to "feel its majesty" but its hoarder aspect is resentful. Chalker senses Mensep close by, appraising the situation.

			Ahn-Lee's team encounters six guards; his bowman shoots one. Ahn-Lee gets one with a sleep needle. Branamin creates an illusion, then attacks the guard that turns to fight it. Chun strikes and kills a guard. Ahn-Lee stabs another guard in the vitals. Two of his team members are injured before they eliminate the guards and move on.

			Alastor moves to the door of the storehouse and sees people on the street outside looking toward the fire.

			The eighth ritual is another close call; Shawna becomes aware that half of the Protectors are awakened.

			Ahn-Lee's team turns the corner to the royal suite. At either side of the door is a guard armored in scale mail. Ahn-Lee starts to raise Tiny Crossbow, but immediately gets a gut feeling that he shouldn't "waste" his bear-poisoned bolt here. His crossbowman's bolt pierces one guard's brain, and his longbowman and Branamin's ''Sunbolt'' kill the other. From the royal suite a deep bass voice booms, "Go for cover, my liege!"

			Alastor admires his handiwork as the fire goes boom and the gawkers on the street cry out. As Shawna performs the ninth ritual, she feels the dragon spirit is upset but curious. Alastor feels a power stirring, and a few bystanders faint.

			With the tenth ritual both Chalker and Shawna sense (through the dragon spirit) one of the Protectors speaking a word that makes him move faster; another Protector in the palace running for his horse; another is in the presence of the king.

			Guards and water mages are moving to deal with the fire.

			Ahn-Lee throws a sleep bomb down a hallway that will not be used when they evacuate. He says, "Chun, the king is yours," then kicks open the door. Confronting him is an imposing, well-armored Protector with a bastard sword in one hand and energy swirling around the other. Five other guards are in the room, and Ahn-Lee glimpses the king behind them. Ahn-Lee fires Tiny Crossbow and the bear-poisoned bolt 'luckily' punctures the Protector's shoulder.

Ahn-Lee acrobatically dodges the Protector's attack, fast-draws two daggers, and drives both of them through the Protector's eyeslits. The swirling energy fades away.

			At the eleventh point Shawna urges the dragon spirit, "You were the last; you are now the first. There is hope."

			Two city guards come around the side of the warehouse. Seeing Alastor they do a double-take, then draw weapons and start toward him. Calmly, Alastor lights a special cigarette and takes a puff. One of the guards exclaims, "You look wrong! You look wrong!" Alastor gazes back, unperturbed, as the guard babbles, "I thought you did it somehow!" Alastor looks at the guard quizzically until he winds down, mumbling "Fire... I thought you had something to do with the fire... but you couldn't have..." The guards wander off in search of another target.

	Chalker and Alastor look across the harbor. There is movement on the nearer of the dark ships, three halfling-sized (or child-sized) humanoids wearing dark clothes.

One swallow, though, and he screws up his face and says "This is atrocious! But (shrug) it's ale" and he takes another gulp. He shakes his head, then sits down on his cot.

And I'll break my buyer's arm and take his knife and slit all their throats." Ahn-Lee: "Well, what if your cell door were unlocked?" Chun: "I'll kill everyone."
