Now What?

The final Tengu was dealt with pretty quickly. I'd had enough of getting knocked around and feeling useless and I unleashed something in me to freeze the Tengu in place with confusion. Tetsuko quickly dispatched it.

Our new companion, Vincent, looks and sounds like he belongs in the early 90s Pro-Wrestling scene. Loud, boisterous, show-boating... yeah (I think Tetsuko got protective of me.. not sure what that was about). At least he can hold himself in a fight. I'm going to need training if I want to do more than flail about in embarassment.

We headed for the Empire State building and ran into roadblocks along the way. Tetsuko carried me on her back so we could keep up with Vincent's gravity-defying jumps, and we took the rooftops around the roadblocks. When we got to the doors the svartalfar confronted us again.

Threats were exchanged and I insulted his love-making skills. Oh yeah, I cut him good on that. He tried to get one in back at me, but his attempt sucked. I feel a bit vindicated, but I made sure he knew that I'd take him down.

He disappeared when Vincent went to swing at him. So, we went inside and all of a sudden I found myself in a norse-style mead hall with the table set for two. Tetsuko and Vincent were no longer near me. I'm not going to play along with these damned illusory games.
