The Stone Unicorn
(24 Oct 2002) Thomas, Redmane and friends try to make good their escape from the Destroyer's Keep. 		(Agatha) (Elinor) (Simon)
(Tom)
Lord April, Ahearn, Redmane, Thomas, Rachel and Sir Lefallon take a moment to work out a possible plan of escape, while they have a moment's reprieve, without any guard expected to come check on the prisoner for a while. At last, they make their way down to the courtyard, in hopes of freeing Melchizedek the Lord Protector (a unicorn who has been turned to stone), and perhaps of enlisting the help of an imprisoned djinn. Ahearn distracts the vyglari, while Sir Lefallon suffers a mishap with some stacked barrels falling on him. Redmane tries to figure out some way to save Melchizedek from the spell that binds him, but to no avail. Thomas tries to assist the djinn bound to the large "boat" in the courtyard, but finds himself similarly ill-equipped to break enchantments. Thomas gets an idea, and fetches Redmane's help -- specifically, her iron sword, which she uses to destroy the magic lamp that binds the djinn. The djinn is happy to be free -- and to grant three wishes, so long as those wishes are within her power to grant.

Thomas is unwilling to leave Melchizedek behind, and he tries (without success) to break the spell, repeating words that he remembers from legend being used to break a similar enchantment before. The djinn, at Redmane's request, lifts the large boat up into the air, and flies it around so that the heroes can climb into it -- and the djinn also hefts up the "statue" of Melchizedek as well. Thomas takes a blow from a vyglari, but manages to catch a dangling rope from the boat, and to swing up to safety.

Redmane requests that the djinn carry the boat (and its occupants) to Mirari, and so she does, with our heroes riding along -- away from the Destroyer's Keep, with Lord April and Lord Protector Melchizedek successfully rescued (if not necessarily in the best of health).
