Host ACTDJohn_Sea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "Sorcery" Part 3 10109.30.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Stands in the castle reviewing the situation.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Letting his mind run free searching nearby areas.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Stands on the castle wall, looking at the dark forces gathering nearby.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Sitting and thinking of all the different things she has seen so far in this dimension.::

Host ACTDJohn_Sea says:
Action: A magic portal appears 15 feet off the ground, a man in a Starfleet Uniform appears... looks around and falls into a pile of hay <Merlin> Ooops, sorry.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Walks over to the pile of hay and looks at the man there.::

CNS_Jordain says:
::Tries to get up from the .hay:: Self: What a rush.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the merry old fellow... and wonders... why are the boots yellow?::

CTO_Senek says:
::Comes down from the wall.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Turns and sees a guy come falling out of nowhere into a pile of hay behind her.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Sees the single pip.:: Jordain: And you are?

CEO_Rogers says:
CNS: Errr...do you need some help getting out of there?

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks aound.::

CNS_Jordain says:
::Looks at the captain.:: CO: Ensign Jordain reporting for duty, captain.

Host ACTDJohn_Sea says:
Action: A few of the Unicorns who were eating the hay look miffed and find another bale of hay to eat.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at Jordain then the CO.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CNS: Welcome on board, ensign. I regret that I am a bit out of touch with events in Starfleet. What is your function?

CNS_Jordain says:
CEO: No thank you, I think i'll be alright. But thanks for asking.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the pile of hay - there he sees FCO Durron.::

CNS_Jordain says:
CO: I'm a counselor.

CNS_Jordain says:
::Gets out of the hay at last and dusts himself off.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CNS: A long awaited function. Welcome indeed.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Thinks.:: Self: Now, let me think who was the last counsellor we had...?

Host ACTDJohn_Sea says:
Action: A goblin tries to pick the CO's pocket and a unicorn nips him, and chases him away

CSO_Sketek says:
CNS: Welcome to Andromeda's crew. I am the chief science officer.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Shakes her head.:: CNS: You may find yourself rather busy here.

CTO_Senek says:
::Walks to the others.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Straightens up.:: Self: Well, let's see what to do next.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Smiles at the CNS.:: CNS: I have to agree with her - some of us aren't handling the situation too well - welcome to the crew by the way - I'm the Chief Engineer - Lt. Trial Rogers

FCO_Durron says:
CNS: Welcome aboard. I am the ship's FCO.. ::Offers the Ens. his hand.::

Host ACTDJohn_Sea says:
Action: The ground rumble as the leader of the Storm Giants begins to make his way to the party. *Rumble, Rumble Rumble.*

CTO_Senek says:
::Thinks.:: Is that the Storm Giant walking, or is something else causign the rumble?

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Notices that her legs suddenly feel unsteady, then hears the Giant approaching.::

CNS_Jordain says:
CSO: Thank you. CO: Aye.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I think this is time when we are more led by our destiny than our rational thinking.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Takes a firm grip of his sword.::

CNS_Jordain says:
CEO/FCO: Nice to meet you. ::Shakes Durron's hand.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: You may be right, but logic is always a good approach to any situation. Maybe only as the beginning.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Suddenly remebers the swords and makes one for the CNS.:: CNS: Here - we all have one - you can pretty much make them do whatever you think you want them to do when we're fighting the bad guys out there...

Host Storm_Giant says:
::Stops, looks down at the party from 40 feet above.:: Captain: We are in need of gathering more allies, the council feels that you are best suited for diplomacy.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Sometimes a sword is sharper than logic.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant. ::Raises eyebrow.:: Indeed, well I shall be honoured to help where I can, as will my crew.

CNS_Jordain says:
CEO: Thank you Miss Rogers. Just what i was looking for.

FCO_Durron says:
::Whispers.:: CO: I have changed my mind about this being a holo-simulation.  Now I would like to inform you of the possibility that this might be a mass hallucination. Ma'am.

Host Storm_Giant says:
::Claps his hands together.:: Captain: You humans are truly brave.  You will need to journey to the plane of the elementals.  The elementals are Neutrals, they are aligned neither with the forces of light or darkness

Host CO_Kalla says:
FCO: At present I can only underline the importance of us being very much present in the here and now. Real or not.

FCO_Durron says:
CO: Yes, ma'am.

CNS_Jordain says:
::Looks for someone in need of counseling.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant: Elementals? That sounds like a universe where we would have problems adapting.

Host Storm_Giant says:
Captain: You will need to convince the elementals to join us.  Actually the elemental plane looks just like your Earth.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant: Well, that should be possible then. We will certainly do our best. Should we all go, or just some of us?

Host Storm_Giant says:
Captain: You will be looking for Earth Elementals, Fire Elementals, Air Elementals and Water Elementals

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant: Familiar elements, indeed. CSO: I think we will require your skills here.

Host Storm_Giant says:
Captain: This mission is suited to your crew because of your training in Diplomacy

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I see.

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant: How do we go there?

CEO_Rogers says:
::Thinks for a moment and creates sword holder thingies for the swords of the crew.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: At the edge of the street a child Giant throws a boulder and his pet dragon chases it <Child> Fetch!

Host Storm_Giant says:
Captain: You are a planeswalker and will be able to navigate.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Looks at child.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes the sheath from CEO.:: CEO: Could you create some piece of armor for me as well? A chain mail would probably stop the skeletons' swords better than my starfleet uniform..

CEO_Rogers says:
::Each holder thingy is decorated to match its sword - her own is all silvery with crystals and onyx decorating it.::

CEO_Rogers says:
CTO: Chain mail...hmm....hold on a moment ...

Host CO_Kalla says:
Giant: Of course. This does take some getting used to. All: Gather round.

EO_Z`heta says:
::Approaches his captain.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Goes over to the CO, still thinking about the armor thing.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the CEO, picks up a sheath and puts it on then walks over to the captain.::

CNS_Jordain says:
::Approaches the giant.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
::Steps back.:: All: Good luck, we are beseiged here and await your return, remember you can return to Limbo at any time to seek Merlin's counsel.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Stands next to CO:.:

CTO_Senek says:
::Walks to CO and prepares to be transported.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Closes her eyes in concentration, and calls up the 3D plane map Merlin showed her.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Focuses on the plane, that she senses is the elemental plane, focusing, focusing....::

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the CEO again then looks at the cloud ground and closes his eyes again.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Things start changing, the ground buckles then stabilises, Kalla opens her eyes and sees...::

Host CO_Kalla says:
...Earth.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The crew appears on the edge of very moutainous terrain....towering cliffs

CSO_Sketek says:
::Sees Earth, the home of Federation, young civilization.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Opens his eyes and nearly colapses on to the ground out of relief.:: Self: Thank god, solid grond that isn't moving.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Creates the armor just as they arrive in the new dimension.:: CTO: Is that alright? ::The armor is light but very sturdy, and a pewter colour.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The wind whistles through the party as the snow capped peaks loom in the distance.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Looks up at the mountains. Then checks that everyone has arrived. It seems so.:: CTO: Any threats?

CTO_Senek says:
CEO: Thank you.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Not that I can detect.

FCO_Durron says:
CEO: Might it be possible to create communicators for the crew?

CNS_Jordain says:
::Looks at Earth and starts thinking...::

CEO_Rogers says:
ALL: Anyone else want some armor to protect you? - or would you rather wait until we're in battle?

EO_Z`heta says:
::Sees the landscape and thinks "it's good to be back..."::

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes the armor from CEO and puts it on.::

CSO_Sketek says:
All: There is a lot of life and magic here.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: See if you can sense any elementals in this area. Air or earth.

CEO_Rogers says:
FCO: Communicators? I'm not sure - technology wasn't something we could bring through the portal...

CNS_Jordain says:
CEO: I'll will wait a while.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Nods at the CNS.: CNS: Alright.

FCO_Durron says:
CEO: I know.  But now we are on this side of the portal.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: There is a lot of life, but it's missing the thing we are searching for.

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: At the top of a snow capped mountain, the CSO senses a temple and an alter.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: I see, maybe we should move out of here.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Could you conjure up some warmer clothes for us, if required.

CSO_Sketek says:
All: Dear fellow officers, there is a temple on top of the nearby mountain. ::Points there.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Finishes putting on the armor, feels that he looks too much like an ancient brutal Vulcan warrior.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Nods at the CO, and conjures up warm jackets for the crew.:: ALL There you go, nice and warm, adjustable to any climate.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: I suggest we hurry to the mountain.

CNS_Jordain says:
::Takes a jacket from the CEO.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Let us aim for that then. ::Walks briskly ahead after taking a jacket.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: A Dwarven caravan is moving in the distance.

CTO_Senek says:
::Takes a jacket from CEO, but does not put it on, as the armor provides enough warmth.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Her mouth twists.:: All: Well, not quite like Earth.

CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks.:: Self: A dwarven caravan? Surely lots of gold and fine handwork they must be carrying!

CEO_Rogers says:
::Puts her own jacket on, and starts moving.::

FCO_Durron says:
::Takes a jacket from the CEO and puts it on, then looks around.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The Party sees that there are walking statues made of solid diamond with the caravan.

CNS_Jordain says:
::Ties his jacket around his waist and starts walking.::

CTO_Senek says:
::Looks strangely at his brother, then turns his gaze to the bearded little fellows::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: I wonder if we should take a look at that caravan? Do you sense any elemental life there?

FCO_Durron says:
::Suddenly notices that the other members of the crew are moving and follows them.::

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: They are just native miners, not the ones we are looking for.

CTO_Senek says:
CSO: How about those walking diamond-things?

CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: They surely look fine and brave but we are not looking for them.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: Why don´t we split up? You head for the temple and I for the caravan.

CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Ok, I see. I just thought that that might be what an Earth elemental looks like.

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: A brilliant idea.

EO_Z`heta says:
CO: Captain, if we split up, I would suggest that I stay on the other team.  This way we can maintain a certain telepathic contact.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CSO: So you take EO, CNS and FCO. I'll go with CEO and CTO.

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The Dwarves make camp, the diamond figures begin to pitch tents

CSO_Sketek says:
CO: Very well. EO/CNS/FCO: Let us hurry.

CNS_Jordain says:
CSO: Aye.

FCO_Durron says:
::Looks at the CO then CSO.:: CSO: Yes sir.  ::Follows CSO.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO, CEO: Let's go to the caravan.

CTO_Senek says:
::Steps next to CO.:: CO: Aye. ::Starts moving.::

EO_Z`heta says:
::Goes to LtCmm. Sketek.::  CSO: At your command, sir.

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Walks down the mountain towards the caravan.::

CEO_Rogers says:
::Nods at the CO.:: CO: Alright. ::Starts folling the CO and CTO.::

CSO_Sketek says:
::Step after step he keeps climbing up the mountain.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The dwarves are busy lighting a furnance and preparing to work on metals

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO, CEO: We're off to see the wizard...

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks sidelong at the CO.:: CO: I didn't know you were familiar with classic Earth entertainment, ma'am.

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The CSO and his party begin to climb the mountain

CNS_Jordain says:
@::Starts to climb the mountain.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: I can't say I am, but that one tune made an impression when I heard it. It is so typical human longing for something else.

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Follows the CSO using the stone steps.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: A Diamond Statute Sees the CO's party and approaches.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Trips on a stone then forgets about falling and starts to float up the mountain slowly with the CSO.::

Host Storm_Giant says:
Action: The FCO is flying.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: I see - I also see they've noticed us...

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Yes, indeed. ::Walks towards the statue.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
CO: Have you come to trade?

CTO_Senek says:
::Walks beside CO to meet the golem.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The CSO and his party reach the mountain top.

CSO_Sketek says:
@All: So, we have reached the top! Let's see what this place is really like.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Stands just behind the CO, and remains idle and watches the CO and the diamond dude.::

CNS_Jordain says:
@::Reaches the top.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Bows her head.:: Golem: No we have come to talk to representatives from the elementals of this world.

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Looks down at the landscape and thinks it's quite impressive.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: On the snow covered mountaintop there is an ornately carved temple of marble and jade.  Within the temple there is a pool bubbling with moltan rock.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks around and allows himself to float a bit higher.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Walks into the temple.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
CO: Perhaps you would like to speak with Iron Heart, the Dwarven King?

CNS_Jordain says:
@::Follows the CSO into the temple::
.
Host CO_Kalla says:
Golem: Indeed, we would be honoured.

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Looks up at the FCO.:: FCO: Er....  Wouldn't you like to come down?

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Looks at the pool with molten rock.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@All: Do you think this is the element we are looking for?

Host CO_Kalla says:
Golem: Will you take us to him?

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The sun refracts off of the expertly cut diamond surface of the golem, creating a rainbow luminesence around the golem.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks at the golem still silently listening.::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks down at EO then swoops into the temple.:: EO: Actually, I don't know if I can get back up so...

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO: I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have a clue.

CNS_Jordain says:
@CSO: Maybe but we have to be sure.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The pool bubbles with steam, the CSO notices a golden gong at the far side of the room.

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Walks to the gong and sees if he could use it.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
CO: Yes, do you have a gift to bring to the King?

Host CO_Kalla says:
Golem: What does the king like?

CTO_Senek says:
::Steps back and whispers.:: CEO: Conjure up something.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: Gold? Silver? What do you want it to be?

Host Diamond_Golem says:
CO: We are traders and merchants

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Takes a hammer and hits the gong.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: I wonder. How about something unique to this world, such as a map of this area made as a book with gold bindings.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The temple is a adorned with works of art, sculpture and gifts.  There are piles of gold all around the pool.

CNS_Jordain says:
@::Puts his hands against his ears.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Hits the gong again.::

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: I don' know anything about the area - I can't make a map without knowing the place.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The gong rings twice, the piles of priceless gems shake a bit

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks at CSO and then the CNS and then covers his ears without falling out of the air.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@::Lets the silence fall.::

CTO_Senek says:
CEO: How about a necklace or a ring? Something ornamental.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: No, and  we cannot conjure anything unless we know it. Hmm, a golden, brockade cape, maybe.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: I think I have an idea - hold on...

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The silence falls, two of four statutes begin to glow.

EO_Z`heta says:
@CSO: If it gongs two more times will all the statues glow?

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The Diamond Golem waits as a few dwarves begin to polish him.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: You have free hands for this.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Thinks and makes three statues that are up to her knees, 24K gold, decorated with crystals, silver, and various other valuble jewls.::

CNS_Jordain says:
@EO: You took the words right out of my mouth.

CSO_Sketek says:
@EO: We shall see. ::Hits the gong twice.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CEO: Excellent work.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: Thank you.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks at CSO and wonders if that is a wise idea.::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Looks at CNS and smiles.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The rest of the two glow... a mystical circle surrounds the pool... a mass of molten rock begins to form... takes shape and steps from the pool <Earth Elemental> Who has summoned me and why?

Host CO_Kalla says:
Golem: Yes, we have gifts fit for the king.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The Diamond Golem is impressed with the CEO's creations, pats her on the back gently and says "You must have dwarven blood in you" All: I will take you to the king

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Observes astonished.::

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks at the earth elemental.::

CNS_Jordain says:
@CSO: I think he is talking to you,sir.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Looks at the golem, slightly confused at the phrase, but nods a thank you.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: The molten rock drips from the humanoid form of the Earth Elemental and oozes into the pool.

CSO_Sketek says:
@Elemental: I am Sketek, son of Zhubak. I need your power in the battle against evil.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
<Earth Elemental> Have you brought me a gift for the priviledge of this audience?

CTO_Senek says:
::Follows the golem as it leads the team to the dwarven king.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
::Follows Golem.::

CSO_Sketek says:
@Elemental: The times are hard, and I come with empty hands.

CEO_Rogers says:
::Follows the golem and CO and CTO.::

CNS_Jordain says:
@Self: Audience? ::Arches a brow.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
Action: A few platinum and golden golems escort the CO and her team.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Swoops down and taps the EO on the sholder.:: EO: You might want to remind the CSO of your ability.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
<Earth Elemental> ::Looks displeased.::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Whispers.:: CSO: Sir, Merlin gave me the ability of creating stuff. Perhaps I can make something to give to the Elemental.

CSO_Sketek says:
@EO: Ah, you are correct. Just use your imagination.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
<Earth Elemental> ::Frowns and begins to walk towards the pool.::

EO_Z`heta says:
@::Thinks...::  Self: I suppose platinum will please him...  ::Creates a Platinum neck chain.::

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO, CEO: Impressive escort.

Host Diamond_Golem says:
<Earth Elemental> ::Stops.:: All: Ahhhh, you have done well ::Takes chain and eats it, looks very happy.:: All: I will now listen.

CTO_Senek says:
CO: Indeed. I hope that they like our gifts.

CEO_Rogers says:
CO: As you Vulcans say... .indeed.

Host CO_Kalla says:
CTO: Do you sense a threat if they do not?

CTO_Senek says:
CO: If they show their displeasure as other humanoids, then yes.

FCO_Durron says:
@::Looks at the floor and puts his feet on it.::

Host Diamond_Golem says:
