Shit Just Goat Serious...
Written by Celina Zabinski
After Celina learns about the anchors in the vision the Queen shared, Celina didn't expect to see Imryll again for a while. But low and below Imryll arrives in front of Celina and asks her to join her when she gets to Fort Ettin. Celina grins towards her and follows her. Celina gets led to an area where she meets some other people. Looking around she recognises some faces, Ivan and Sorrel. And some new faces as well, Wee Mad Haimish (who was a halfling) and Silvia (who was a human with bright red hair).
Imryll explains that she needs help with the Jack situation. She was going to bring our group to a place but she's not sure what to expect. She mentions that she needs to perform a spell and she needs someone to take watch and distract the jack clones while she's doing it. She suspects there will be Jack clones but she's unsure of how many and tricks he could get up to.
She hands everyone a crystal and mentions it's a highly concentrated spell. Once it goes green, everyone must hold on and it'll keep everyone safe. She also mentions that everyone has to keep their crystals on them in order for her to get then all home. Once no one has any more questions she quickly casts a spell and everyone is brought to a large clearing. On further inspection, there were multiple Jack's and Langston's all around the place. At least a dozen of them. It was very hard to work out if any of them were real or if they were all just clones. Suddenly the clones notice our group and all start getting closer. Sorrell shouts to everyone that if her eyes glow red to get away from her. This confuses Celina and she ignores it for the time being. Everyone in the group starts attacking the clones. Celina stays close to Imryll's side while everyone else focus on the clones on the outskirts.
Celina casts her catapult spell and throws an apple right into one of the Langston's faces closest to her. Celina roars out "I told you I would do that the next time I'd freakin' see you". However, Celina realises afterwards she might have only said it in her head. She ignores the thought and continues attacking the closes Langston and Jack clones close to her. She throws up her dancing rapier in the air, says her command word 'stabracadabra' and gets it to launch down at the Langston from above. "See if he can dodge this", Celina thinks to herself. He takes more damage and is still standing. "Why won't he just die?", Celina questions to herself. Suddenly Ivan appears and starts attacking the Langston she had been targeting from behind. This gives Celina a quick opportunity to look around. She can see that everyone is fighting two if not three clones. "...Is that a large grizzly bear?", Celina thinks to herself staring at the creature taking on some of the jack clones.
Out of the corner of Celina's eye, she sees something bright red catch her attention. She turns towards the red and sees that it's Silvia hair that caught her attention. And she is now lying unconscious on the ground. The bear makes its way over to Celina and says "Can you go check on her? I think Silvia has fallen". It sounds like Haimish and realises he must be able to turn into a bear. Celina debates helping Silva for a moment, as she was really enjoying the fight. However, she can see Ivan is just going to town on the Langston and Jack clones. Celina realises Ivan has got this. She nods towards Haimish and heads over to Silvia. As Celina approach the unconscious body, she realises she no clue how to help as she's not a healer. "Hey new person, it's time to wake up. Wakey, wakey", Celina says while lightly patting her on her face. Celina curses thinking she doesn't want to have to deal with a dead body. She takes out her spare potion of healing and tips it into Silvia's mouth. All of a sudden, Silvia is awake. She gets up and is looking slightly better. However, for Celina it was hard to tell how much better she actually was as Celina got chills through her body while staring at Silvia. Silvia's eyes gave the impression as someone who has seen too much. Silvia breaks eye contact and darts away, attacking some of the Jack clones.
After a few more fights, there were no more Jack or Langston clones around the place. The place was clear. However, looking ahead there was an entrance to a cave. Celina looks around at the group, Haimish is no longer a bear, Ivan looks pleased and something else odd catches her eye. Celina notices Silvia standing very close to Sorrel making very intense eye contact and she spots Sorrel in a set of manacles. Celina gets confused for a moment, wondering what's going on. She then shouts over toward Silvia and Sorrell, "Maybe don't kill each other, but I guess whatever you're into". She smirks and walks away. Imryll comes over to the group and mentions the main part of her plan. It requires placing two orbs into the machines that were inside the caves. However, the orbs must be placed at the exact same time. Also, the orb cannot be dropped or the whole thing would be over. Imryll mentions that the group must take one and she would take the other one. Ivan suggests taking it and Celina ponders using her mage hand to hold it instead. However, it is Silvia who takes it in the end and offers to place it into the machine.
The group seem to be ready, so they make their way into the cave. As they go in and look around Celina can see two machines in the cave and in the centre of the room stood a massive glowing a machine as well. Looking further into the room Celina spots a figure. Two in fact. There standing in the corner is Jack and Langston. They smirk towards the group and suddenly the two of them combine together and become a massive fighting machine. Ivan and Haimish dart towards this new Jack Langston hybrid and attempt to take some swings at it with their weapons. Silvia heads towards the glowing thing in the middle of the room. Celina decides to have one quick look around the room at something she can target. However, she gets fixated on a shiny coin floating in the air. Suddenly, Celina seems to feel like she's shrinking, everything seems to change and then she's on all fours. Celina looks down at her feet and she sees the hooves. She tries to talk and all that comes out of her mouth is a "Baaaa" sound. She realises she's been turned into a goat. She looks frantically around knowing she's more vulnerable now than ever. She can't stab another or throw apples. Then a thought comes to her and she realises her hooves can do some damage. "If someone made her a goat, they would freakin regret it", Celina thinks. Celina charges forward and headbutts one of the two machines in her view. She does some damage to the machine but nothing appears to happen. In the corner of her eye, Celina can see an arrow fly over her head. She thinks it must be Sorrel's and it hits perfectly to the other machine. Suddenly in a flash everyone in the room gets swapped to a different location. Sorrell launches another arrow at the same machine and everyone in the room gets swapped again. Celina gets distracted with her goat feet and direction, that she misses the fight with the Jack and Langston hybrid.
Imryll bursts into the room at this stage, she looks around and spots Ivan. She hands him the orb and tells him to put it in the machine. That she’ll hold off the Jack Langston Hybrid. Ivan nods and goes over to the machine with the orb. Silvia still has the original one. Then on the count of three, both Silvia and Ivan throw the orbs into the machine. The whirring of the machines stops and everyone holds their breath. The Jack Langston hybrid start to panic and look worried at their destroyed machine. Imryll shouts over for everyone to hold onto their crystals. Celina does her best with her hooves. As they’re leaving, Celina spots Imryll flipping off the Jack Langston hybrid. Celina laughs to herself. Within moments everyone returns back to where they started in Fort Ettin. Celina stands up and notices she's back in her two feet, she smiles happily no longer being a goat. Imryll thanks everyone for their help and suggests going to the yard as Coll wants to make an announcement.
Coll gathers everyone around the yard. Once there were enough people there, he mentions that everyone did it. The machines Jack and Langston were trying to build are inoperable and he just heard that Jack was in fact dead. Not just a clone. Something in the air shifts and there's a giant feminine face that appears in the air. She mentions she's the lady of pain and for everyone's hard work today she would give everyone a gift. Suddenly, there's black daggers hovering in front of everyone. She tells everyone to take them as her token of appreciation. Coll mentions that if people wanted to stay around there would be drink all night. Everyone in the room roar in celebration. Celina happily accepts the offer of free booze. While she hangs around drinking her notices Imryll sneak away and appear in front of a certain drow she knows, Lord Jaezred. They way they're looking at each other she works out they must be together. Celina smirks and continues drinking. She then goes to chats to some of the other people in the room, pleased with how everything went.
