    As Ruby's hand crashed through Annabelle's chest she let out a guttural scream! Then her body began to molt and form into paste as it melted and fell to the ground. After a moment Annabelle's body was nothing but a heap of greyish burnt clay. Ruby pulled her hand back and realized that she was clutching a Gemstone of some sort, if she could see she would notice that it was red and faceted. 

    [color=ed1c24]"AAAHAHAHHHAAA!!"[/color] Came a high, whinnying laugh echoing through the cavern,[color=ed1c24] "Your fun!"[/color] Annabelle said, [color=ed1c24]"I like you! Did you know, they call me the Puppet master?"[/color] Another harlequin clothed woman stepped from behind a rock, it looked exactly like the one that Ruby had just destroyed, [color=ed1c24]"We could help each other you know, you and me, a couple of young, hot ladies lookin for trouble? Whaddya think?"[/color] She smiled and raised her hands in an open gesture.

    The storm had blown in suddenly and without warning. In the intense thunder and lightening Jabberwocky had snuck up on the town in the mountains and was not in their streets. Minoc could see him from his humble apartment. 

    [b]"Who killed the Harpy?"[/b] Jabber screamed form the street, his dagger toothed maw frothing.

    "Maybe he'll leave if we tell him?" said Jimmy, one of Minoc's assistants, hopefully.

     Minoc gave himself a moment to consider, "No," he finally said, "no I don't think he will that one. Jabberwocky has always been blood thirsty, we're going to have to give him a fight. Tell me, where are the people?" He turned to Jimmy. 

    Jimmy frowned, "in the house just across the way there. Jabberwocky is between us."

    "Oh, dear," said Minoc. He stood up shakily but attempted to look strong, "Well then, let us get to the fight, shall we?" As he turned to look he saw that the others were already armed and ready to go. 

    They made their ways to their locations, Minoc to the front door and the others along flanking positions. Minoc looked Jabberwocky in the eye and yelled over the storm, "The Harpy met the fate of all those who give violence to the world, a violent death!" and one his word 6 crossbow went off and hurled their payload towards Jabberwocky's scales.
