xp_submarinerWhen the Grande Dame attempts a last minute renegotiation, Pixie takes it upon herself to troubleshoot.

xp_submarinerNamor, Meggan, and Paige work to find a mechanical repair to the Engine. While they learn more about its inner workings, Meggan’s affinity for the fae realm and Paige’s current form prove to offer certain advantages aiding in repair. However, they find they'll need something more than a wrench and elbow grease.
( Oh! That’s really, really new! I . . . I think I’m seeing where everything’s gone wrong. )

As the group searches for a solution, Jono, Jay and Pixie hit upon a potential answer.
( Though I am no engineer, with instruction, I might be able to repair your machine. )

xp_submarinerSettled into their lodgings on the Isle of Man, the members of eXcalibur are interrupted during breakfast by the arrival of subject matter expert Jono and special guest Paige.
( Fairy tales – hopefully ones that will lead us to a breach. Just a day of fieldwork in eXcalibur. )
***
The team spend the afternoon canvasing the town, but split up as the location of the dimensional tear is narrowed based on what stories they can gather. The group splits – Paige heading back by herself, then Jay and Jono, leaving only Namor, Meggan, and Pixie to investigate the tear.
( Since when did people ride horses through town? )
( Could it be a manifestation of the portal they sought? )
( And then the dust came in. )

xp_hawkeyeAfter days of dealing with increasingly weird and ridiculous 12 Days of Christmas-themed snacks, eXcalibur discovers that the wormhole in their basement might have some opinions about their vending machine... maybe. They think. Theoretically.

Potomac calls to Chesapeake: Team Water
Oct. 25th, 2021 05:30 pmxp_loaAmanda, Topaz, Megan and Clea get caught in the citywide fight against the crabs, and make a snap decision to involve others.
( I hate to suggest dragging more people into this... )
Namor, Meggan and Alani take on the task of trying diplomacy with a nature spirit. They make some headway in rough waters, but only manage to negotiate the spirit into not actively making things worse. She will call off any more crabs, but perhaps not stop the ones already calling down destruction.
( Bargaining involves having something each party desires. We bring only the threat of retribution. Would you trade this creature another city? It has not offered peace on any terms. )

Potomac Calls to Chesapeake || Rituals
Oct. 25th, 2021 07:00 amxp_topazBefore X-Force even arrives, Amanda, Topaz, Megan and Clea - and the Baltimore Coven - do a ritual in Druid Hill Park to try to find out what, how and why.
( Because right now I have my bets on us getting cursed by Spiro Agnew's ghost and gods and goddesses I don't want that to be what happened and why my basement has seaweed in it. )
The ritual goes sideways, and Clea and Megan end up taking a swim and finding some bodies.
( Why can't magic ever be easy? I'm glad we're together, at least. Is anyone else here... wherever we are? )
