At the observatory, Ham moves from area to area, talking to the roaming constellations "Scorpio, Orion, stop chasing each other... I need to set the telescope!"

"The YULESTAR!" He grabs a small comet and shows it the telescope "Full of YULE Radiation, don't you see?"

The Comet does not see, but could it get moving again? If it just holds still it makes an As-teroid out of you and me

"oh, sorry" And Ham releases it "mmm Bop comet"

And he scrambles "Ladies and gents, this is the moment we've been looking for, a sparkling star on the banks of the dark velvet shore. And we have a chance a little wonder to restore..." the sing song make shift lyrics occupy him as he sets dials and works levers and adjust lenses.

the old baron didn't appreciate!

The new one? Oh she'll understand... or at least, accept!

.......

Hope says "What? More monsters?" She moves quickly to find ..well, the baroness if she can

The Baroness is easy enough to find!

"Baroness!" She moves to her "We're got Chimerical zombies!"

"We... what? Where?" She crosses to grab her sword belt.

"At the outter edges of the highway heading towards town. I don't like this. It isn't by the trods. it smells of balor work to me" She says "I got my shot gun."

"Good. Are any of our new warriors handy?"

"Well, actually.. all of them" She says

"Well then! Let's see who wants to join us in a fight?"

The answer, is all of them! Byrnn and Brydann seem in a race to get their gear on. Morthwyll, already dressed

"A fight. Excellent" Morthwyll says

"Zombies. I believe the goal is to go for the head."

"Beheadings" Byrnn nods approvingly

"I like beheading tings" Bydran says. They're getting their swords

"Don't get bitten."

"Good..." One twin says

"Advice" the other finishes

And soon they are all ready to go

Hope almost pushes them into her car, good thing it's an old landbarge "I hate this car, but it was cheap."

Sparrow folds herself up. "It's not so bad...."

"Well, it works for your wings better tahn some" She says

"Exactly!"

And they drive along the highway, making good time.

Until they see the scene.. Chimerical Zombies! They may dissolve over time. Might cease

But first they'll do damage

"Well, gentlefolk! Are we ready?"

"We'll work..." One of the twins says "Back to back" Says the other

A grin. "Alright then!" And she tumbles out from the car, rapier drawn and ready to rumble!

And Hope says "I'm staying in the car and shooting OUT the window!" Clearly she thinks the sidhe are a bit mad

Morthwyll finishes his spell... and all of them feel quicksilver fueling their veins

Sparrow is already fast - but with quicksilver spurring her heels? WHeeeeeeeeee.

She severs one head almost instantly, cutting past one zombie before it knows it has lost it's head

The twins are magnifiient! Morthwyll is probably the better warrior on his own, but the twins coordinate like dancers!

Zombies approach,zombies dies

Sparrow uses her wings often in battle - nimble, darting attacks and quick retreats to avoid return strikes.

Mortwyll is a beast! Shattering knee caps to make that skull smash easier .. the creatures swarm him.. and he lets out a roar and explodes a ring of flame! Fire and zombies dont' like each otther

This is a good exercise - the sidhe all have different styles, but one goal.

And Sparrow gets to observe, even if she must streak and cut and twirl... she also gets to know those styles of the others.

The most startling thing maybe the shot gun that unloads! Boggan practicality, Hope is taking them out from the shelter fo her car. But it looks like too many are approaching her. She can't shoot out of two sides now that the quickilver is fading. Sparrow readies to help. Only to see the twins move to the car, and rush to the boggans aid

She harries the zombies from the air, to draw them off Hope!

How many there were at first- well, she may have not counted, seemed liked dozens!

Now however, there's less than a dozen, but she draws those few off and into the waiting hammer of Morthwyl who still burns!
