Rogan then said to Crysothemis: "What year is it?"
MacMan slapped Rogan in the back of the head.

Crysothemis gave them a funny look. "You don't know what year it is?" she continued, "what are you, foreigners?" She then laughed a bit.

"Yes, I guess you could say that we are foreigners..." replied Rogan.
"Hey guys. It's getting dark and we still don't have any provisions or shelter. Crysothemis would it be okay if we stayed here for the night? Since you won't have much we can help by hunting and fishing for food. And some of us know how to bake..."
The group split up into different groups and went out into the woods to hunt for food. Not knowing what they would find...

Crysothemis handed Rogan, J.ace and Moonshadow some fishing poles and said: "You know how to fish, right?"

"Fish? Uh...yeah, sure" responded Rogan.
"Fish?! We don't know how to fish!" Moonshadow yelled at Rogan as soon as Chrysothemus entered the house."
"Come on" he responded, "How hard can it be?..."

When they approach the fishing area, they see Ferazel. "Hi guys." he said. It appeared that he was fishing. "We think fishing might be hard", Moonshadow said, ", how hard is it?" "Pretty hard.", Ferazel said, "I've been fishing here for two days."

(welcome back, Ferazel)

"How much fish have you got?" Rogan asked, "maybe you could teach us how to fish?"

Rogan then paused for a second. His eyes got a strange look and he said: "What are you doing here anyway? You were not with us when we arrived here!"

"Oh, when I reentered Cythera I landed in a different place. That's why I'm here, just in a different place." Ferezal replied.

"How many fish have I caught?" Farazel repeats "Well...I only caught three."
"Three?!" MacMan half shouted "In two days, only three fish?"
"Why else do you think I've been here two days?"
"Oh, boy" Moonshadow said under her breath.
"Rogan" J.Ace said, "why, exactly, did you say we knew how to fish? We have no clue how, and now Chrysothemis is expecting us to be able to catch them. What are we going to do?"
"Don't worry" he responded "I'm sure we'll think of something."

"We could try it somewhere else" Moonshadow suggested "maybe ... the water just isn't deep enough here -"
The others agreed and they walked along the shore for some time. On the way, Moonshadow told Ferazel what they had discovered.. "And now we're here, trying to catch fish for Chrysothemis" she finished and gave Rogan a sour look. "Well, I already have three fish, so if we catch a few more, we should have enough."

After a few hours of searching for and trying new fishing spots, the party finally found a small tidepool, teeming with fish.
"Look at all those fish!" J.Ace said.
"Yeah. Well Rogan," MacMan said, "it looks like you got yourself out of this one."
They then took out their poles and started fishing. After a short ammount of time, they had caught a large number of fish. As they were about to leave, however, a man came up to them. "You aren't from around here, are you?" he said.
Rogan responded, "Well, no. Why?"
"If you were, you would know that those fish feed of the poisonous seaweed just off the coast," the man responded.
"What's the significance of that?" MacMan asked.
"Ever heard the term, 'you are what you eat'?" he responded.
"Oh." MacMan said. "So what are ALL these fish good for?" he held up a string of several hundred small fish.
"Trash," he said. "unless of course you got one of those special potions from the mages. Creepy people, they are."
"What kind of special potion?" Moonshadow asked.
"You know, those purple ones in those little flasks. The ones only they can make. I still don't know how they do it." he replied
Rogan looked in his pouch for a second, and pulled out an antidote potion. "You mean one of these?" he asked.
"Yeah!" the man exclaimed. "Hey, you ain't one of them screwey mages are you?" he looked the whole party over. "You are! You are them damn mages!" He started running away from the party and the shore, inland.
"What was his problem?" MacMan asked.
"You must remember what year it is, MacMan. Mages weren't very welcome back then. But why would he be so afraid of us?"

"I think I know why" Rogan responded, "the mages are not exactly the tyrant`s favorite people...in fact, they are exiled. I`ve studied them in a book from Pnyx." MacMan looked around and said: "That makes us trespassers, right?" "Yes. It is not legal for us to stay here." Rogan responded. "Well, no one`s around to arrest us, so I suggest that we try to find some eatable food" Moonshadow said, "the nutrient spell is too boring and doesn`t taste that good." Suddenly, three guards approached...

as the guards get closer weapons are drawn and spells were charged.
"We out number them so we shouldn't have any problem" shouted J.Ace
but to the surprise of the group the small group of guards seemed to multiply until they filled their vision and said....

Meanwhile...

Lindor lead out a small group to find some wild animals. They silently slipped through the shady forest trees, and useing their bows, had managed to fell a few squirels. As they came into one clearing, though, a huge titan reared it's head up from the grasses. Lindor plugged an arrow into its side, but that only seemed to enrage the beast more.

Of course! This must be the time before titans and unicorns became so tame. Back in the regular time, no one had ever quite figured out why the animals weren't as nasty as various old writings had suggested they were.

As those thoughts wheeled through the group's heads, the titan started to charge full speed at them. And, apon hearing a fellow titan's anger, many others fell into stride beside it. It was a titan stampede!

The party looked at the guards, wondering how they "replicated" themselves like that.
"How did they do that!?" MacMan said confused and in panic.
"I...I don't know!" J.Ace responded.
"You're coming with us," one of the guards said.

"But we only wanted to fish" Moonshaodw muttered to herself. Still, what chance had they? Fighting would surely lead more guards here. But if they gave in, what would happen to them? Either way, things didn't look good.
Had those guards really managed to "replicated" themselves, or was it just a trick? "Better not count on it" she said. Unfortunatly, the guards mistook that for their answer ...

*Thinks for 2 seconds and charges the three original guards and slashes them to pieces*All of the guards fall to the ground.Anyone need a weapon?asks Grapper.Then everybody laughs and start to pick up the weapons.Moonshadow asks Grapper how he did that.Grapper replies"The guards clones where created by using a piece of the original guards.So if the original guards die then so will the clones.

------------------

well, atleast the battle was short..
how'd you know which ones were the originals???


----------Out of Character-----------
If we had been caught it would have been similar to the other story...

------------------
a meteor, a momentary flare of brilliance.. like all life, Nothing really, in the sweep of time. But everything in the Force.

"Well, they had me tricked!" Fanatic said. At that moment, they heard some wild beasts off in the distance. Fanatic said "This way!" and the others followed toward the titan stampede...

------------------
They say it's mostly vanity that writes the plays we act--
They tell me thats what everybody knows.
There's no such thing as sanity, and thats the sanest fact--
Thats the way the story goes...

As they ran through the brush some of them were able to recognize some parts of the woods but everything seemed bigger. When they finally found the other group they huddled together for the fight.

Fanatic charged up a fire ball and Talos charged at incredible speed. J.Ace21 had his daggers buzzing around the titans like bees and Moonshadow started firing lightning bolts. Lindor was also firing various spells at the beasts but they still kept coming. The front line was now but 15 meters from them and the group was tiring fast.
"J.Ace21!" cried Moonshadow. "Remember back in the other dimension? The guards?"
As if he understood J.Ace started to charge a new spell... though with obvious discomfort at having to attempt such a dangerous spell(check [url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/postdisplay.cgi?forum=Forum5&topic=000604"]here[/url]).
The spell oblivion reached its peak and exploded. Ash was thrown everywhere. Sparks flied out like fireworks and the titans as well as the group were thrown up into the air. The titans were charred as soon as the spell had exploded but the group were okay.. until they would land on the ground. Suddenly the group stopped rising and started to fall. The ground came rushing up to greet them like a hammer fast... too fast. Talos suddenly pulled out a scroll from his pouch and quickly recited it. The group stopped for a second in the air about 2 feet above the ground and dropped.
As J.Ace got up brushing dirt off of himself he said
"Now what do we do? We burned all the game "

Rogan sighed. "We have nothing to take back to Crysothemis now" he said, "looks like we have to go back empty-handed."

As they looked around disheartened, Talos suggested, "Well, maybe we can offer her something else... like perhaps free castings of nutrient?"

The rest of the group practically shuddered at this idea, remembering how they had had to live off of that spell. J.Ace replied to Talos, "How do we know Crysothemis isn't also hostile toward mages? There's no way to tell."

"Couldn`t we simply just ask her what she thinks about them?" Rogan suggested. "Well, it`s worth a try" Talos said, "I suggest we go to Catamarca, tell her that we couldn`t get any food and ask her about the mages."

"Wait a minute, I have food.We can just replicate it."says Grapper.
