As of 5 June 2009, the fight continues between the band of elves who have traveled north to awaken Senilis, and Sarine and her colleagues who have traveled north to talk them out of it, or failing that, stop them. Sarine's remarkably evenly-matched death battle with former friend Sarna continues, although there have been hints that something may be about to happen to turn the tide -- one way or another. For the moment, the snarkage that accompanied the first phase of the fight has stopped; possibly the two combatants have realized that this really is a fight to the death, and they'd better devote their attention to more urgent things than witty insults.

The brawl between the larger parties, by contrast, is beginning to show signs of a clear winner and a clear loser -- and to all indications, it's the elves that are losing. Sara Amraphel has managed to escape from the Binding spell that had had her all trussed up, with some help from Meji and (remarkably enough) Ellis. She has inflicted one blow that is most certainly fatal, unless the elves have some ability to regenerate entire bodies from severed heads that we don't know about. Her brother has also drawn serious blood, although we don't know yet whether it's fatal -- probably not. Anyway, Sara's time-ninja skills are starting to turn the tide in this one -- probably.

STILL no word from Ianilis, Anita, or various other baddies, but their time is coming.
