Day Twelve, Conclusion

[voidtreckermods]

All battles come to an end. Professor Chill and his henchpeople is defeated, the ice giant slain by the brave heroes of purple team. The townspeople led out of the tunnels and due to some extraordinary pun-hacking skills by Kaito the weather machine is de-powered.

Being a magical snowstorm the shutting down of the weather machine causes it to vanish, snow begins to melt and then evaporates into the air before it can become a larger problem in terms of a flood. The temperatures rise, going from dangerously cold to a warm spring day, warm enough that the voidtreckers will soon be too warm all bundled up as they are. The clouds disappear, the sun shines. Within a short period of time the streets are dry, the mountainsides are green and the trees are bright with flowers.

The streets are still a mess, property is damaged and the clean up operation is going to be intense but it doesn't look like there is any lasting ecological damage at least.

The ice labyrinth vanishes and those inside it will find themselves suddenly standing in the field below. For red team, the journey to the top of the mountain took four days in the blizzard but with the weather clear and going downhill they will reach the valley by the end of day eleven.

The army has arrived and mostly taken over gathering the injured and dealing with the more serious damage but there is plenty to do for those who still wish to help. Houses need put back to rights, streets and paths need sweeping of debris.

Help out, find your friends, swap stories. Celebrate a job well done.

Towards mid afternoon of day twelve a beeping from their SCA's should draw everyone's attention. The map leads them to a place just out of sight from the town and there is the Voidtrecker Express. It is time to leave.

"I'm not incapable, at any rate, although I suppose I can't treat them like a baseball bat either."

"You sound very capable. Anybody who has the nerve to attack an ice monster with a baseball bat must have nerves of steel! If you want one of my swords, do you want some training in how to use it? I'd be perfectly happy to help. And you can probably find a number of sparring partners on this train."

"I think that sort of weapon would benefit me the next time I can't get one that suits me better. Which is... usually. So I'll take you up on that."

"All right, it's a deal!" exclaims Curufin. "Want to meet me in the gym car tomorrow morning?"

[pleple]

"I'm sure we won't be alone, if I want some other partners, so that sounds like a good idea."

[so_dark_a_road]

"Lots of people show up to work out, and some of them can use a sword, so yes, I'm sure that will provide you with many people to practice with. And I'm sure you'll give us all a run for our money, so to speak! A good idea all around."

[pleple]

"A beginner? A child like me? You don't need to worry about my ego, you know."

Good place to end? Meantime, we can assume the sword lessons happen!

[so_dark_a_road]

"Maybe not," he says with a smile. "But I've taught the martial arts for years, and I've found it's never a good idea to make assumptions about my students, even when they're inexperienced. I've been surprised so often!"
