*Wandering down some dark passage*
If I ever get back, I'm going to have a bowl of Lucky Charms. They are good...
*Senses something coming from down that passage.* *Reaches the end of the passage, and feels that whateveer is emitting that power, is behind the last door. After a quick breath, DA opens the door and looks in. The darkness is overwhelming. DA creates a small fireball in his hand, and holds it out infront of him. What he sees, shocks him.*
Morb! What are you doing here?

*hears a commotion in the other room*
What's going on?
*sees Viper*
Well that was unexpected.
*watches Viper reach for the necklace*
No you idiot! Don't touch that! Hasn't anyone else figured out that we should not be touching the evil necklace?
*Viper ears perk*
Viper: Who said that? Elfie: You can hear me? Viper: Of course I can hear you, now leave me alone. Elfie: Wait. Can I share your body? Viper: Why would I let my enemy share my body? Elfie: Because without my help that necklace will overwhelm you. Viper: Yeah right. *Viper reaches for the necklace and is blown back against a wall*
*floats over*
Elfie: I could've told you that would happen. Viper: Shut up. Elfie: Or what? You'll beat me up? I don't have a body. Viper: Fine, what do you want? Elfie: Between the two of us we have the technology to destroy that thing. Viper: Why would I want to destroy it? Elfie: Because you and I both know we can't harness it.
*Viper walks back towards Bass and is blown against a wall this time without even touching it*
Elfie: Now it's just attacking you to make a point. It's not going to let you near it. You're too physically weak for it. It needs a strong body so it can use its mind to the fullest, which is why I can't harness it either. Viper: Let's assume you're right. What do I gain from this? Elfie: You get to destroy something that threatens your power. Viper: Not good enough. I can figure out how to on my own. It'll just take more time. Elfie: Fine, I'll make you a different deal. If you let me into your mind I won't tell Bane where you are so he can hunt you down and kill you. Viper: You wouldn't give that killer my location. Elfie: Want to bet? Viper: *thinks* Not really. You better have good info. Elfie: So I can come in? Viper: Hurry up before I regret this. Elfie: *smiles* I knew you'd see things my way.
*joins with Viper*

::Stands assessing DA and his fireball..::
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my castle?"
((OOC:: Mor'Baruk doesn't know what's going on, he's been in kind of a trance state on some other plane somewhere, and has little memory of his past, other than knowing this castle is his, and that he once commanded powerful legions))
::The dark figure begins to gather black mana to him, drawing from the very walls in great quanities..::
"Speak quickly, if you value your life...for if I do not like your answer, I will drain it..."

*Watches as he isn't greeted too nicely by Morb*
Whoa whoa...Morb, It's me, DarkAngel...I'm part of the Conclave, you are our leader...We haven't see you for so long. We're in kind of a bad situation right now...Elfie and Bass are missing, Soulcatcher doesn't have a body, Ape is dying...We need help.

::stops drawing mana, but still has enough to cast enough of a Drain Life to take out two DA's...::
"You say you know me, but I do not recall your face..or anything beyond...aaarghh!"
::at this point the dread lord winces and holds his head as if in great pain, and loses the mana he has drawn, leading DA to feel safe for the moment::
:: DA fills Mor'Baruk in on what has happened since he was last seen, and for some reason unknown to the powerful being, he is compelled to believe him.::
"Alright, I trust that what you are telling me has at least some truth to it. But know this, should you be playing me false, you will suffer an eternity of agony. Where is this simian creature that needs to be healed, I shall have a look at him.""

DA: One small problem...I have no Forking idea where we are. Morb: Don't worry, I know this castle like the back of my hand. DA: Ok, Ape is up near the sleeping chambers, lead the way. *Morb begins to walk down through the passages, not stopping once to think about where he is going. Soon, DA begins to see familiar sights.* Ok, he is just up ahead. *Morb and DA enter the room where Ape is being held. pinata is seen struggling with moving a large tank of some sort.* DA: Hey pinata, I found us a little bit of help. pinata: Ok good, this thing weighs a ton-- *Looks at Morb* Morb! Is it really you?! Morb: This must be pinata. pinata: My reputation proceeds me I see. Can you help him? *Gestures at Ape* Morb: Of course. *Morb closes his eyes, and begins to gather mana.* Ape: *groan* He's alive!!! Quickly, get him into that tank, it'll heal his body. *Morb, pinata and DA all hoist Ape into the Bacta-Tank, and let him sit to heal his wounds.*

::Mor'Baruk then collapses with a resounding thud to the flagstone floor. Since he is a master of black mana, he has healing powers, but in order to heal, he must take life from another. In this case, he sacrificed some of his own energy and life force to revive the ill Apey.::
::streamers and lines of dark energy begin to flow from the walls into Mor'Baruk's inert form soon after he falls unconscious, as the castle's black essence is drawn inward, healing its master...::

*Piñata stands there in shock watching Morbaruk collapse to the floor... he's never seen the Conclave's leader this vulnerable before, and he doesn't like it.* Okay, DA, so what do we do now? ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

-=Bass awakens to find himself once again in a containment chamber, tied up and strapped down=-
Bass: Viper, you twit! Let me out of here! I need to find a way to destroy this necklace, or at least myself! ElfieDude: That's what we're trying to do, Bass. Bass: What do you mean "we"? ElfieDude: Bass, it's me in here...Elfie. I don't know if you remember or not, but your other half...Bane, he called himself... Bass: Yes, I remember. The Essence Removal. Your essence or soul or whatever you want to call it was removed from your body. I apologize for that...I feel so horrible. ElfieDude: Don't worry, I'm fine. Viper let me inhabit his body so we could destroy that necklace, which we're currently working on. I need to get some things from my lab, but we wanted to make sure you were awake before we did. Wouldn't want to leave Bane in a lab like this...no telling what could happen. We're gonna sedate you again while we go back...we'll bring some 'Clavers back, too...if you change again, we'll need the help. Sleep tight, Bass, we'll be back.
-=ElfieDude presses a button, and a needle comes down next to Bass's arm. The needle then injects him with a sleeping potion, and Bass soon falls asleep=-

Dammit... I don't have the patience for this crap.

Three of them went through a portal to another plane. I'm really not quite sure where. There are a couple of other people here in the castle besides us four, though. Stalin -- that's the commander of your army and senior tactical advisor -- fought alongside us in the battle earlier, but has since disappeared... I assume he's drafting an official report for Omeguz, who you left in charge while you were gone. JNL -- that's an Intelligence agent, I'm not even sure if you know him personally since he's not senior staff -- was here earlier as well, and I assume he's still in the castle somewhere. Secole -- she's a Master Healer -- is on her way here to look at Ape, and she's bringing her husband, Devo, who is one of the Conclave Overlords -- the highest-ranking members of your military and political staff.
Other than that, everyone else is pretty far away from here... the Conclave takes up nearly an entire continent, so your minions have a lot of ground they can cover.

::the dark lord of the Conclave thinks for a moment::
"I think i may know a way to find those who went through the portal, but I will need your help. I will collapse shortly after I cast the spell I am thinking of, and you will need to vacate this room. As soon as I collapse, I need you to 'walk in and take my body then shift out again as quickly as possible, and do not enter this room again until I am conscious and can be sure its safe. Also, you should place a protective ward around that tank"
::after pinata casts a Circle of Protection: Black on the tank, at the dread lord's advice, he and DA clear out of the room, and Mor"baruk begins to gather massive amounts of power to him. There are screams and the smell of oil fills the air. There is a flash of non-light, and satnding in the middle of the room is...a Phyrexian Negator! The lord mutters something to the beast, placing his hands on its fearsome skull, giving it instructions. He then collpases, but before the Negator can change its mind an take advantage of his weakness, pinata 'walks in andd out, taking the collapsed lord. The Negator then shifts out, searching for elfie and SC.::

*Watches as pinata 'walks away* What the Fork? *Opens the door to see what is happening with Morb. After seeing what was inside, DA begins to gather a fireball, to shoot at the Negator inside.* Phyrexians! This is all we need! Take this back to that b.astard Yawgmoth! *Shoots his fireball at the Negator, who disappears just before getting hit.* Damnit.

::Mor'Baruk recovers after a time resting and drawing mana. He seeks out DA.::
"I heard you tried to dispose of my little minion, eh?"
DA: It was a Phyrexian negator!
"Yes, I know, but in order to find elfie and SC, I needed a creature able to track across planes, and that could planeshift. DOn't worry, when it finds them, I will know, and I cast a charm upon it so that it will be unsummoned the instant after, before it can do any harm."

Elfie: Alright, we need to get back to the lab. Viper: *points to device* This should do the trick. Elfie: What do you mean? Viper: Well I'm assuming you've noticed this lab is an exact replica of yours. So what would be here? Elfie: Of course, my teleporter! That's how you got in the first time, by making all portals from sections of your lab open in sections of mine because they're parallel. That's brilliant. Viper: I know. Elfie: Alright, let's go. Viper: Wait, won't they kill me on sight? Elfie: They'll kill Zugema on sight, but you don't look very much like him right now. Viper: Yeah, but you could betray me. Elfie: But then we'd be tied down and Bane would break free and we'd all lose. Viper: Are you sure about this? Elfie: I'm always sure.
*Elfiedude goes through the portal to the 'Clave, unsure of what kind of welcome to expect*

*DA is lounging around, waiting for something to happen, or for Ape to get out of the bacta tank.* *Suddenly, a portal opens, and much to his surprise, Viperdude emerges.* DA: What the Fork...Viper? What are you doing here? Viper: Long story. DA: I've got time. Viper: *In a different voice* DA, we don't have time for this. DA: Elfie...What are you doing in there...This is getting to confusing, I'm gonna go take a nap. *DA wanders off, mumbling something about Germans.*

If you want to make yourself useful, head through that portal and keep Bass sedated, no matter what he says.
I need to grab some supplies from the lab. Hopefully everyone else is as understanding as you.
