Yrank shifted position slightly, revealing the person standing behind him (trying very hard to become invisible through sheer force of will.) Nogard gasped. Erif was here? More than that- he was getting arrested!

Nogard made a snap decision. "Shoe! We're breaking these people out of confinement! Fire the muffins!"

Muffins soared through the air like bullets. They went the same speed as bullets, too.

Tull caught one. He nibbled on it whilst he followed the group with the insane gibberish speak woman.

Jilu gave Tull a strange look as he followed her.

I don't think you can follow them yet  I think you have to fight your way free of @NameIess's Brave Adventurers.

Nogard leapt from the balcony, summoning the spear of Instakans. It crackled with lightning as he fell.

Come on, he thought, mentally urging it to do something.

I used my steel pushing that I was using to see u guys to go ver all of em.

Tull stared at the weapon.

Why did I invite them on this quest. These are the brave adventurers, fighting them is a stupid idea.

Zanitar dove through the air, wings coming out as he cut the muffins out of the air, stopping all but the one Tull had grabbed.

"Are you two idiots?" he hissed at them. "This is the council of the brave adventurers! We can't fight them! We can go save the people getting arrested after they get arrested by infiltrating the dungeons, but there is a 99.9 repeating % chance we lose a head to head fight."

Then Zanitar looked to his left as one last muffin flew past him.

Oh, scud.

"I don't think that's quite what's going on," Zanitar says, not taking his eyes off the meeting. "It seems like they're talking about the Great Wizard! And... accusing him of treason?! What? Something about Plotblades. Platypus is not gonna be happy with that Council if they bother his squirrel. And I don't trust that Brave Adventurer. He's got a shifty vibe to him."

Zanitar provides everyone with a play-by-play, forgetting that they can hear it too.

"Hey, OA, does your magic let you know what they were talking about before we got here? Or do something to let us hear it? Is that possible?"

@Ancient Elantrian

If this is too belated, ignore it

The OA carefully wrote in the air. "Time is hard... hold on..." He pushed the words against the stone, and a soft whisper came out of it, repeating the past of the conversation.

"Really?" asked Nogard with fascination as the group passed through the portal. "You'll have to show us!"

@The Halcyon Girl and @Scars of Hathsin also.

The group emerged into a shadowed recess with a prime vantage point to observe the currently ongoing arrests. 

Waiting there for them was Qodi.

As soon as the final member stepped through, she began chattering in Rabbit.

Yeah ik this was like three pages ago but 

"QODI!" Gail shrieked, then dashed to her rabbit and scooped her up. "Thank the SCUDDING STARS, I thought you were GONE FOREVER." She started to sob hysterically. The placid bunny just snuffled her cheek and licked up her tears.

Gail's golden tears.

Gail got herself under control after a minute (or...  well, let's just say a long time). "Why are we fighting?"

"We're trying to help those people escape!" declared Nogard. "Sequence, Arranis, now would be a good time to use those weapons of yours!"

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

Arranis thrusts his hand out to the side, slivers of materials, seemingly sliding out of the air, forming into a sword, that looked different for every person, and seemed to change, fluidly. Bulges form underneath Arranis's skin, shifting and bubbling, wanting to break through. He smiles, his face bulging somewhat. "Who wants some?"

"Very well. But before we go inside, let me show you something." ... pointed to a random person walking by on the street. "Tell me, what do you see when you look at that man?"

The Honorable Judge gazed authoritatively at the sorry group of accidental spies "I'm afraid we can't get you a lawyer, unless you'd accept one from our organization. Sorry. Secret society rules and all. But do not worry, your trial will be as fair as it can be, under the circumstances."

The Brave Adventurer snorted, dropping the now-visible rabbit into a cage held by an aide. "I find their stories ridiculous! Of course they know who the Great Wizard is! They're obviously spies for him, perhaps even assassins! And if you think I'll just tell you what the Plotblades are... well, I am not fool enough for that." He looked around the room again, then frowned. Not when that knowledge could be traced back to me, at least. "Still... Perhaps a little information would be appropriate. The members of our organization must have some idea of what they are looking for, if they are to find it before anyone else. Very well. These Plotblades... they are linked in a way very few are. They empower individuals in very different, but similar ways. If two people found and wielded them, then one or both of them would inevitably be destroyed by the other, but not until TLT was a ruin." He stared directly at the squirrel. "Does that satisfy your curiosity? Now, off to the dungeons with them! We must discuss our actions toward the Great Wizard, and have no time to dwell on the punishment of his lackeys."

Brave adventurers approached the group warily, holding enchanted chains. "Please don't make this any harder than it has to be," one said, holding a spear in a firm grip. "Resist, and you'll only strengthen the case against you."

@Immortal Platypus@SpiritOfWrath@The H

A whisper entered Platypus's mind. Seek out Omen. He will guide you.

Hmm 

Gail knelt, set Qodi down, and whispered in her ear. 

Qodi did nothing. Gail frowned. That was… weird. 

“Come on,” she prodded. “Come on, do something cool.” 

Qodi nibbled at the grass.

Selppaenip frowned. "I see... a man. He has... brown hair? And brown eyes? Is there something there I am not seeing?"

"Indeed. You missed quite a few things, including the blade at his side, several daggers concealed in his cloak, and his glowing red eyes." As ... pointed out these things, they became easily apparent. "I suspect he is some sort of assassin sent to kill me, but there is no need to worry. He will not be able to find me, and he does not care about you." ... walked into the restaurant, waving for Selppaenip to follow. "Come on. Let's order."

Platypus' Author had remembered Omen existed, but forgot his name. Platypus went to the area that Cognition, Unintelligible, the OA and others had met Omen during the "Desolation Arc."

The mouth of a cave yawned in front of him, ethereal mist leaking from it.

The Brave Adventurer watched in satisfaction as the group of infiltrators was wrapped tightly in chains and slowly led towards the same small door next to the large sealed one that the Wise Scholar had entered through. Finally, we can get back on track. Although, perhaps these fools will be useful in luring the Great Wizard to us. That would be quite... convenient. Out loud, he raised his voice. "The General, what are your suggestions for the squad we send to hunt down the Great Wizard? You have seen his power in the past, and besides that, your strategic mind is mos-"

A muffin streaked from the heavens and struck the Brave Adventurer directly on the head. Dazed, he slowly crumpled to the ground, mumbling something about the unfairness of life.

Even as he fell, the Valiant One sprang into action, leaping sword in hand to meet the attackers head on. The rest of the adventurers were not far behind, some taking to the skies towards the attackers, others launching a variety of projectiles towards them. Arrows, spears, bursts of magic, and even a few muffins came soaring towards the party of prospective heroes.

A particularly large blueberry muffin came hurtling for Nogard's face as his brother and all the rest of the first group was led off in chains.

Yrank used two days' worth of strength; breaking out of his chains, and sucker punching a Brave Adventurer in the face. "Goodness, those chains made be drowsy." He turned to the rest of them, now busy fighting his saviours, "Rule of factory safety; Never endanger another worker using metal."

At the sight of the chains, Qodi growled, which sounded incredibly strange coming from something of her species and size. She bared teeth that looked far more like fangs than rabbit teeth and attacked those who came for her with speed and ferocity that belied… everything about her. 

Oh, and she ate all the chains that came her way. Yummy. 

Now she wasn’t little— as little. Though only twice her former size, muscles rippled under her rabbit skin, and her face was terrifying. 

Gail was extremely relieved about all of this.

With a monumental effort of will, Selppaenip refrained from disarming the assassin and made his order- ten of everything on the menu.

Nogard let out a scream as he focused all his energy on the spear. Lightning flared to life around him. Come on, come on, come on... 

There was a sudden wrenching in his mind. He stumbled to a stop. So did all the muffins in the room. Nogard blinked. He made a slight effort of will, and the muffins quivered in the air.

"Huh," he said. "That's useful."

He raised the spear, commanding the muffins to sweep around the room in a whirlwind of baked goods.

Gail watched, fascinated. That’s amazing. Stars and rains, if only I could do something like that. The familiar rock in her gut shifted, but she bit her lip hard. This is a good thing. 

Qodi was glad to see an ally who approached a third of her stature and continued eating chains.

I feel very forgotten.  

The squirrel is missing from the chains, having dodged getting wrapped up by running between his would-be-apprehenders' legs. I get involved in far too much of this. Just cause I know TLT lore doesn't mean everyone should try to capture me.

Zanitar chuckled inside. He was their leader? Zanitar didn't even know him! 

Outside, however, his face was grim. Two gleaming white brightwields formed in his hands, then dimmed to match his wing color. Flying down, Zanitar engaged several brave adventurers at once. Though he was stalling them, they were landing blows on him. A scratch on his leg, a poke into his foot. He managed to disarm one at the price of a shallow slash across his chest. Slowly, he was getting pushed back to the ledge where they had been watching.

Curse those people OA and I invited. I should've just done this with OA. We wouldn't even be in this situation.
