Exton

I realized as Ob left that I had forgotten my magic bag... "Jack,don't lock the door yet... I forgot my magick bag, if we need my magick there are important tools there." Smiling at the rest I hurry up the stairs,almost running into Obsidian at the top.

As he raises a brow ,I kiss his cheek and say... "Just running through,forgot my magick bag"... I took the stairs two at a time, not wanting to throw off the plans... I grabbed a couple of jars off the shelf... herb teas with calming effects for the frightened ones... and a bag of Werthers caramels off the counter at the bar. Running into the kitchen I grabbed a small hotplate and made my way back to the stairs. Ob gave me a look that showed pride for a job well done, and I descended again to the room. "Jack,I've got my bag...and for any of you that are so inclined, I brought caramels and herbal tea that has a calming effect." I looked to the girl practically clinging to Jack and told her it would relax her. Patti took the hot plate and rummaging under a table she found a pan to heat the water, and several sturdy mugs. After she had water roiling she rummaged in the drawer of the table and came up with cards... "Look Jack, they're still here"...and sat at the table with a questioning look to Jack...

I found a seat a little apart so I could look through my bag,making sure I was prepared... all was there, and I took my dagger and smoothed it on a polishing stone that resided in my bag. Thinking that most never fight in a lifetime... I pondered how many times we would fight evil here; Ob and I side by side with our friends...
