The Warforged poured into the throne room of Zero Base, angry and ready for a fight. Jimmy immediately threatened to attack the engine, and Scythe moved to protect the engine. Gilmoira asked Alto not to attack, to which he raised his hands to indicate he had not drawn a weapon. The Warforged moved in but Baqir stepped up and intimidated them all into backing off. Zinli brought Blažej back to consciousness to try to frame him, and Blazej attempted to escape but the room was warded against teleportation.

Luet and the other warforged burst in and Chaplain was able to calm them down and explain that everyone was going to be set free, the Daisy was still alive and he told them he would take them to her now that the threat was dealt with. This seemed to work as all the warforged were convinced to leave the room again.

With that trouble put aside, Gilmoira and Alto pushed to have the Wahda Guild hall bombarded to weaken them and to send a warning not to fight back. Phoenix agreed and Alto insisted that he make Daisy watch. There was massive pushback from Silvius and Zinli on this idea, but Phoenix allowed it, as instilling fear into Daisy before sending her back was in their best interests.

Using the spell creation to create a massive golden bullet, and enlarge to expand it to be 10' by 10' League Zero dropped the projectile with Alto to steer it and a helpless Daisy brought along for the ride to watch. Daisy watched as Alto steered the projectile and saw it hit the Wahda guild hall, obliterating it in an instant before Alto knocked her out again and went back up.

## Wahda Guild

Meanwhile on the ground, Tarthurac, Angel, Tenebrae and Leora were at the guild hall when Blazej's Zombies arrived along with Tenga and the note. Tarthurac told Angel and Tenebrae to go and round up the guild members just in case. Tenebrae was in and out in a flash using tree stride. Angel went to Blanka's Temple to fetch her. Tarthurac, Têmtum, Alfomal and Tenebrae were inside the guild hall when the projectile from League Zero hit. Leora was outside when a golden light caused the Pixie Plate to activate and the wings flew her out to a more safe distance as she saw the guild hall explode in a 0.9 ton explosion. She was knocked unconscious by the blast but woke up almost immediately.

All across Alfenheim debris rained down and glass windows shattered. Everyone in close proximity to the guild suffered extreme hearing loss and the blast was even spotted by Nyanta on Pride's Peak as he was teaching young Lazuli to read. Nyanta stepped into the teleporter and warped to Alfenheim. ΩJhonn and Jill rushed to the scene, but Lux was the first to arrive.

Together they marked wounded and dug through the rubble. They found the blood soaked magical items that had belonged to the Wahda guild members inside. Nyanta pulled Tarthurac's nearly liquefied remains from the rubble. Bits a pieces of Alfomal and Temtum were found but nothing of Tenebrae survived besides his equipment.

Blanka was brought in to bring Tarthurac back. Warren and Nyanta had to commandeer diamonds from the jeweler, and without a better option, the guild used a 3k diamond to bring Tarthurac back. Angel filled everyone in on what had happened and went off to get help from Artemis.

## League Zero

The League celebrated their victory and went off into the tabaxi woods to find a place to drop off the warforged. It was agreed that Specter would pretend to be Daisy to calm them at least until the released the real Daisy. Silvius used the spell message to contact Daisy and ask her what she was feeling. She told him she would do whatever it took to take them down. Silvius was unaware that the Throne of Thoughts could hear him casting the message spell. Chaplain told Alto of the exchange and Alto asked Phoenix for permission to kill Blazej to further break Daisy and hurt the Wahda guild. Phoenix was convinced and agreed to Alto's proposition.

The Warforged were let off the castle seemingly without a hitch as Specter moved off to lead them away in the guise of being Daisy. The castle moved and Daisy was to be dropped off deeper in the woods. But as this was happening, Alto told Daisy he knew that she was planning to fight back, and he told her that she should never try that again. He picked up Blazej by the neck and strangled him to death in front of Daisy. Blazej instinctively called out to his father before his wind pipe was cut off. Daisy tried desperately to get out of her bonds, even going as far as trying to chew through her own arm, but she couldn't. Alto told her that if she wanted to be dirt so much, she could join it. He kicked her off the castle's lift and into the dirt, and the castle took off, leaving her in the woods.

Alto gave Zinli Blazej's body and Silvius gave Gilmoira his spell book.

## Wahda Guild

Daisy walked back to NewTown in defeat and sadness. When she arrived, she asked Artemis to turn her back into Prize and take away her ability to feel and choose. Artemis told Daisy that there was hope, and that the wahda guild now had a leg up on League zero. Daisy agreed to help.

Meanwhile, Artemis had been to Alfenheim and had seen the devastation. Cassandra arrived as well and spoke with Tarthurac. She asked if she was in trouble for dealing with the league in the past and Tarthurac assured her she was not. She asked if Alfomal was dead, to which Tarthurac confirmed that he was the only one Blanka had the strength to bring back that day. Cassandra gave Tarthurac the teleportation circle for Zero Base, and said she wanted protection in case they ever found out she had sold them out. Tarthurac agreed to do everything he could to defeat them and keep her out of danger.

## League Zero

Atop the flying castle the league members celebrated and went to sleep, but their rest was interrupted when the castle suddenly lurched and began to fall. It steadied itself and the members rushed into the throne room to find Chaplain struggling to keep the engine in tact as its outer 2 rings had sustained major damage and had been bisected. Chaplain told them a figure with a blue katana that had assumed the form of Alto struck him and then damaged the engine before running out.

Gilmoira and Silvius followed his tracks off the castle. They flew down to the ground and found the Coil of The Last Labyrinth lying on the ground. They took it back up and encased it inside a wall of stone with Gilmoira, Jimmy and Silvius. After a while, Luet popped out with no katana, just his usual greatclub. The group attacked and knocked him out. In the struggle he activated the coil, sending both Jimmy and Gilmoira inside to attempt to escape but he was unable to.

He was chained up and Silvius began torturing him by cutting his leg off in pieces.

The castle was grounded though as the engine had sustained far too much damage to fly. The league was now without their greatest advantage in a territory where their allies were few and their enemies were strong.
