[Louissa]
Louissa laughs. "My father may throw me under an APC, but not you."
[/Louissa]

[Louissa]
"You will have to take my belongings anyways." she says. "I have a few 
grenades, and this is New Camelot, so maybe you should do some shopping!"
[/Louissa]

OOC: Okay, so I'm assuming that only Louissia is going with Ted, and 
that Alex, Oz and Vesper are going to go free.

Once everything has been decided, Mrrlyn (somewhat disturbingly) 
reappears before being called for. When he learns that Louissa will be 
going with Ted, he instructs the two of them to surrender all weapons 
and other important belongings to their compatriots. The knights 
reappear and flank Louissa and Ted, and lead them further into the 
Enchanter's sanctum. The rest of the company are shown out of the 
pyramid and back on to the street.

They find Father Montessoro outside talking with the female guard, the 
Wolfen priest keeping one eye on the little girl who is giggling while a 
small pebble flies in circles around her head.

The priest sees his companions and sighs. "Alas, so Mrrlyn did take your 
friend, Ted, and one other too, I see. The one named Louissa, as I 
recall. Well let us hope they're imprisonment is a short one. This 
knight was just telling me that the King will see you around midnight, 
and so she has suggested that she take you where you need to go and then 
return you to the Palace when the King is ready."

He beckons to the female knight. "This is Lady Amathea, a Knight of New 
Camelot. Lady Amathea, these are the people who rescued our soldiers 
from the clutches of the hated Splugorth minions. I must contact my 
superiors, but perhaps we shall meet later."

With that the priest bows and walks quickly towards a small stone 
building in the distance, with stained glass windows and a cross atop it.
[/GM]

[Lady Amathea]
The knight bows herself. "As the priest said, the King will see you in a 
few hours. Can I show you the quarters that have been prepared for you, 
or perhaps you would like something to eat? We have time for both."
[/Lady Amathea]

OOC: I'll do Ted's posts privately for now until he meets up with the 
rest of you again.
