Three stages or less free style category

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: First up, is the three stage or less freestyle. to vote, please use
     your WHITE edged paper.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: First up is Aramel, performing Aramel's Notte Blessing.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Aramel of Avalon's face goes blank. You feel a strong craving for hot, freshly brewed tea.
You notice that the smell of smoke in the air lies like a heavy blanket around Aramel of Avalon.
A crackling fire-red serpent arrives from above, nods at Aramel of Avalon and flies toward Unlucky
Charlie in a flash of fury!
At the last moment, Aramel shoos the serpent away. Unharmed, but given a good scare, Unlucky
Charlie probably won't mess with a witch again anytime soon.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Next up is Punarina, with Notte Ae Fairy Godmother.

Mrs Punarina Plavalaguna says with a Lancrastian accent: the following trick is my very, very best
     effort. And so you will soon see why I am definitely Notte A Fairye Godmother

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Punarina Plavalaguna grins determinedly at Unlucky Charlie and says 'Fancy a bit of dancing chuck?
You shall go to the Assassins Ball!!'
Punarina Plavalaguna chants some magic sounding wotnots in an attempt to distract you as she tugs
at a couple of hidden strings under her cloak. Two fluffy fairy wings creak open behind her back.
Punarina Plavalaguna waves her magic wand and cackles at Unlucky Charlie 'I shall conjure a
beautiful and fitting outfit, along with a coach, 2 horses and a couple of coachmen to transport
you!' .
Unlucky Charlie suddenly transforms into a small mouse, wearing a very small bejewelled ballgown
and glass slippers. He squeaks once in fearful confusion before being squashed into quietude by the
large pumpkin that suddenly drops from the sky above him.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Thank you Punarina and Gypsie. next up is Carmel with Morris
     Dancers Curse.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Carmel Pleasures summons a Primeval rhythm from afar, deep within the heart of the lands and the
souls of the people.
As Carmel Pleasures stomps her feet, ghostly apparitions appear by the twos brandishing sticks,
handkerchiefs, and buckets and start to dance to the sounds of the infamous Bucket and Stick dance.
Carmel Pleasures peers in approval as fathers cover children's eyes and shout curses at the
controversial scene while some townswomen faint and animals flee in terror.
As sudden as they appeared, the apparitions fade away with the sounds of bells and everyone
breathes a sigh of relief.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Good one, Carmel. Next up is.... Earwax! with Turning Tricks.

Black Earwax Pus says with a D'reg accent: After researching the old trials, I think this is the
     oldest trick in the book....
Black Earwax Pus says with a D'reg accent: Ok, here goes....


You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Earwax Pus whistles suggestively, evoking memories of a certain dirty little ditty.
You see Punarina's Panties flash by. Now if that didn't give you at right old turn!

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Um... Thank you Earwax for your... creative trick turning. And I
     guess thank you Punariana for your knickers, always a popular theme here at the trials. Next
     up is Keb, with Keb's Divine Haiku.

Sultana Keb Casaubon says with a Lancrastian accent: As some of you might have heard, I've
     been...um...courting with a sweet Samurai type. So I thought I'd practice some Agatean things
     this year. This is a haiku trick, so the syllabry save for the names, should match. The names
     are extra, since there's no accounting for how long they may be.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Keb Casaubon's face glows divinely.
Keb Casaubon conjures the fresh autumn wind.
Leaves swirl in circles.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Nice work Keb! A haiku that would make any agatean proud! Next up,
     Nemaine with Dragon Transformation.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
As the moonless night begins, Nemaine reveals the mystic blue tattoos covering her body as she
begins to dance the Dark Morris while the wind swirls itself into a tornado around her.
The ground shudders and lava bubbles through cracks as an enormous flame red dragon with golden
wings emerges roaring in defiance as he responds to Nemaine's enchanting lure.
The dragon roars in anguish as he is slowly being merged into Nemaine whose body shimmers and
shudders with the influxes of power from her enchantment.
Nemaine is barely recognizable as her body shimmers with fine-grained dragon scales, deadly claws,
gleaming fangs, and massive dragon wings that stretch far into the sky as she takes flight into the
moonless sky and roars her pleasure at her success.


Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Wow! Good job Nemaine, that was spectacular! Next up, Yoni, with
     Wee Yoni's Tea Cup Saucer Out... I hope I got that name correct.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Yoni auf der Scheibe chants eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a gum in my toe.
Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish, Yoni auf der Scheibe dances ravish.
Tea cup saucer out, Unlucky Charlie scares aloud.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:
Yoni auf der Scheibe chants eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a gum in my toe.
Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish, Yoni auf der Scheibe dances ravish.
Tea cup saucer out, you scare aloud.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Cute trick Yoni!. Ok, our last trick in this category is Louisiana,
     with Louisiana's Bundle of Love.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Louisiana Flavoured Jam closes her eyes and begins to chant softly.
Louisiana Flavoured Jam stops chanting, suddenly leaps forward and dissapears in a puff of smoke!
With another puff of smoke, Louisiana reappears behind Unlucky Charlie and begins to huggle him
tightly.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: One more trick, Sorry! Tink with her Melodious Bathtime Singsong

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Tink D'Vine takes a good look at Unlucky Charlie, sniffs, and holds her nose in disgust. She points
her cursed evil rubber duckie at him accusingly and exclaims gleefully: 'It's Bath Time!'
Tink D'Vine seems to pull a huge tin bath from thin air, grabs hold of Unlucky Charlie and starts
scrubbing him vigorously, droning ritual cleansing chants such as 'A wizard's staff has a knob on
the end.'
Unlucky Charlie splutters a bit as he resurfaces from the bath, nice and clean now. Tink's evil
rubber duckie quackles insanely. The bath, being only imaginary, slowly fades from view.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Good one Tink! Glad you made sure we didn't miss that! Ok everyone,
     that was the last of the three stages or less free style. Please vote on the WHITE paper if
     you have one.

Four stages or more free style category

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Ok, we're going to continue now. First up in the four stage or more
     freestyle is Dishrag.

Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: This Trick was written in the time before squint
     blinking, when we had no easy acces to strength boosters.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: Dishrag's Arboreal Augmentation was intended to boost
     a users str and reduce dex, making them more like a tree.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: It is non-targetted, being cast only on oneself, so
     there is no need to squint Charlie.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: If you want to know what the caster sees, you'll have
     to wait until after the spell is cast, as I'm using the Java client and will have to manually
     type each stage.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: So, enjoy.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Dishrag kneels to the ground, and firmly places her right hand against the earth.
Dishrag closes her eyes, and channels her strength and spirit through her right hand, as if
searching for something deep underground.
Dishrag's eyes flash open, and crackle with magical fire. The muscles in her right arm tense
strangely, and a loud, but disturbingly wet *crack* echoes through the area. Dishrag barely winces
at the pain.
Dishrag begins to whisper curses over the exposed and bloodied bone, before spitting into the
wound.
Dishrag stops the whispering, and the wound stops bleeding. Blood flows backwards into the wound,
the bone heals itself before your eyes, and the wound closes without even a blemish. Dishrag nods
solemly.
Dishrag flexes her right hand, and an amused smile crosses her face. A brown glow surrounds her for
an instant, which quickly fades to nothing.

Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: You prepare to cast Dishrag's Arboreal Augmentation.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: You mentally probe the local area for any
     concentrations of trees, and size up their individual Minds.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: You negotiate with the tree, and remind it not only
     of how easily Bad Things can happen to people who don't agree with witches, but also how far
     you are willing to hold a grudge.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: You graft part of the tree's strength and essence to
     your own, and thank the tree for its time.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: You muscles ripple momentarily, and your limbs feel
     harder than before.
Black Dishrag says with a Lancrastian accent: Spell finished.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Very impressive Dishrag. That is going to be a hard one to follow.
     And the person who has that mi... er... good fortune, is Aniline! with her Sparkling Death.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
The earth splits open in front of Aniline and she staggers back in surprise.
As crackling flames erupt from the crack, Aniline summons her courage to peek down into the ground.
Aniline sees a banished shadowy figure emerge from the flames, and backs away.
Aniline tries to conjure a defense against the dark image before her.
The dark figure, who appears to be wearing a sparkly fairy costume, turns to Aniline and says:
TRICK OR TREAT!

Young Phoibe Womblesworth exclaims: Very Scary Aniline! Next up, Yohya, with Coldest day of the
     Year!

Miss Tohya StompyWitch says: I couldn't decide what to write a trick about... so I just picked what
     was playing in Winamp at the time

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Tohya StompyWitch draws her cloak around herself, and curses the bitter cold on this day.
Tohya StompyWitch chants a few soft words under hear breath, as little icicles form around her
clothes.
A somewhat translucent, but very warm-looking, sphere of fire appears and begins to fly around
Tohya StompyWitch with a charming little whooshing noise.
Tohya StompyWitch looks somewhat happier as she begins to warm up, but the little sphere appears to
rapidly cool even as it flies through the air.
The sphere turns a pale blue colour, before flying into an astonished Tohya's arms to warm itself
up again. She yelps in surprise, now even colder than she was before.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Very chilling Tohya. Next up Keb! with her scandilous trick. Keb's
     Flirtations Fan Dance.

Sultana Keb Casaubon says with a Lancrastian accent: I've been studying dances from various parts,
     and as I said...I've been interested in Agatean things.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Keb Casaubon bows to Unlucky Charlie deeply, then holds an elegant pose. She pulls two closed fans
from thin air.
Keb Casaubon snaps both fans open in a blur of motion. Her kimono swirls like water as the fans
flicker and her body spins in a circle, arms weaving up and down like waves.
Keb Casaubon pauses, head bowed in Unlucky Charlie's direction, the sleeves of her kimono
fluttering to a rest. She holds the fans in front of her body, enchantingly concealing the
embroidery of her wide obi.
Keb Casaubon offers Unlucky Charlie a coy smile over the edge of one of the fans, and then snaps
them both shut. She closes her eyes, arms and legs falling back into the rhythm of the dance.
Unlucky Charlie seems mezmerized in clear appreciation of Keb's dancing, as she very slowly sinks
to the final pose of the dance, the closed fans crossed over her knees.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:
Keb Casaubon bows to you deeply, then holds an elegant pose. She pulls two closed fans from thin
air.

Sultana Keb Casaubon says in Agatean with a Lancrastian accent: Arigatou gozaimasu.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth exclaims: Next up is Gypsie, with Air Boom. You might remember it from
     earlier, but lucky us we get to see it again!
Young Phoibe Womblesworth asks: Oh... did Gypsie leave?
(Witches) Tink wisps: gypsie logged off an hour ago

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Gypsie d'Rugbaron abjures all responsibility for what is about to happen to Unlucky Charlie. He
brought it on himself.
Gypsie d'Rugbaron throws a handful of earth at Unlucky Charlie as she mumbles some mystical words.
Gypsie d'Rugbaron cackles as she waves her Lucky Chicken s Foot in the air and then she points it
at Unlucky Charlie.
A pit opens up from under Unlucky Charlie and swallows him. Unlucky Charlie screams then silence as
a fountain of blood sprays out of the pit.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:

at you.
A pit opens up from under you and swallows you. You scream then silence as a fountain of blood
sprays out of the pit.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Well, if you remember Gypsie's trick you can still vote for it in
     this category. Last, but certainly not least is our Frazyl, with Frazyl's Headless Horseman.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Frazyl twirls around leaving deep marks in the earth and exclaims to Unlucky Charlie nastily: Off
with your head!
As Frazyl points to Unlucky Charlie the Headless Horseman appears in a flutter of snow and begins
to ride forbiddingly around Unlucky Charlie, dribbling drops of water all over the place.
As Frazyl makes a chopping motion at Unlucky Charlie, the Headless Horseman darkly draws an
harrowing blade out of thin air and swiftly slits Unlucky Charlie's throat!
Frazyl glares hard in the eyes that the Headless Horseman hasnae got, making it shed tears of fire.
As the Headless Horseman flees at full gallop, Unlucky Charlie closes his eyes slowly as his head
falls to the ground with a hollow thump. Someone says: DARK IN HERE, ISN'T IT? You turn and see
Death standing behind Unlucky Charlie.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:

You prepare to cast Frazyl's Headless Horseman on Unlucky Charlie.
You twirl around leaving deep marks in the earth to draw a monster from the Queen's land. When
ready you exclaim to Unlucky Charlie nastily: Off with your head!
As you point to Unlucky Charlie the monster you summoned, the Headless Horseman, appears in a
flutter of snow. You urge it to take Unlucky Charlie's head. It rides around Unlucky Charlie,
dribbling drops of water all over the place.
As you make a chopping motion, the Headless Horseman darkly draws an harrowing blade out of thin
air and swiftly slits Unlucky Charlie's throat!
You glare hard in the eyes that the Headless Horseman hasnae got, sending waves of fire to melt the
ice in its hollow core.
You force the Headless Horseman to flee at full gallop. Unlucky Charlie closes his eyes slowly, his
head falling to the ground with a hollow thump. Someone says: DARK IN HERE, ISN'T IT? You turn and
see Death standing behind Unlucky Charlie.


Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Wow, this is going to be hard to vote for, but please try. Please
     write your vote on the BROWN paper.

Three stages or more halloween themed category.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Ok, I think everyone has voted now. Our last category, so you think
     *cackles* is our special, halloween themed category.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: First up, Our Aniline with... Headless Horseman. I'm told the
     similar name is just a coincidence.

Mistress Aniline says with a Lancrastian accent: Just to be different, I didn't use an actual
     pumpkin...
Mistress Aniline says with a Lancrastian accent: I've got a Ripe Pumpkin head. ;)
Mistress Aniline says with a Lancrastian accent: Umm... I'm having a slight problem. :( It's saying
     I don't have the items.
Mistress Aniline says with a Lancrastian accent: Someone else can go ahead of me while this is
     sorted out. :(

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: While Aniline tries to fix her trick we'll move on to Aramel with
     Hallow lights.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Aramel of Avalon hefts a ripe-looking pumpkin, cursing softly at the weight, then flashes a smile
at Unlucky Charlie.
Aramel of Avalon mutters a few words and closes her eyes briefly, as if channeling power into the
pumpkin.
Chunks of pumpkin fly everywhere as the pumpkin is magically carved into ornate patterns. Aramel of
Avalon whispers something, and a pale golden fire starts to burn inside it.
Aramel lifts the pumpkin up, and it soars over to Unlucky Charlie to replace his old pumpkin head,
which falls and rolls into the gorge. The field is illuminated with the pumpkin's merry glow.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth exclaims: Good work Aramel! Next up is Earwx with It is the Great Pumpkin
     Charlie Brown!

Black Earwax Pus says with a D'reg accent: Well, some of you may be too old for this one and some
     too young.
Black Earwax Pus says with a D'reg accent: So it'll probably not make sense.
Black Earwax Pus says with a D'reg accent: Right, I'll start... It's cast on Charlie...

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Earwax Pus tosses the pumpkin piece onto the earth. She points to the sky attempting to summon The
Great Pumpkin from the vines at Unlucky Charlie's feet.
Earwax Pus tosses a sheet with way too many channels , over Unlucky Charlie. Is that supposed to be
a ghost costume?
Earwax Pus curses kite eating trees and warns them to stay away.
A flying ace beagle shaped creature jumps up and kisses Earwax Pus on the nose before vanishing
into thin air!
Unlucky Charlie gasps, 'I got a rock!' Remember kids, candy only comes with sincerity.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth exclaims: Next up is Tohya! with What the Hell is This!

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Tohya StompyWitch picks up and studies the large pumpkin intently, before sighing and throwing it
up into the air.
Tohya StompyWitch spins around and, with her eyes closed, throws a knife at the pumpkin, leaving a
trail of fire behind it as it goes.
Tohya StompyWitch opens her eyes, and curses as she sees just how much she missed the pumpkin by.
She goes over to collect her knife from where it landed.
Unbeknownst to Tohya StompyWitch, the pumpkin, having been thrown, had a dagger fly by it, and been
burnt by the following trail, finally gives up. It channels it's rage into a small explosion,
launching it's insides up to the sky.
While cleaning her knife, Tohya turns around and looks confused at the now deflated pumpkin. At
that moment, the innards fall straight onto her head, covering her in pumpkin guts.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Ok, As soon as we get all that pumpkin cleaned up, where is a
     fruitpig when you need one, Nemaine is up with Heart of Darkness.

Nemaine says: a little something to think about on a Halloween night

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
The pumpkin in Nemaine's hands floats into the sky covering the sun while absorbing Nemaine's
curses calling for eternal night.
Nemaine channels the spirits of darkness, despair, woe, grief, misery, desolation, anguish, gloom,
and all that makes a heart lose hope into the pumpkin which grows bigger and darker with every
spirit.
Nemaine throws her head back and a scream pierces the air and shatters the pumpkin into tiny pieces
aimed at the hearts of everyone.
A little fragment pierces your heart causing it to shudder in your chest as it is bombarded with
the dark and evil spirits leaving you with the feeling that some joy has disappeared from your
life.

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: Well, I liked it. Next up is Frazyl, with Frazyl's Restful Spirits.

Wee Frazyl says: With Halloween the spirits are closer to the Disc...
Wee Frazyl says: If you know how to, maybe you can ask them for help.
Wee Frazyl says: This is aimed at Charlie, but no harm will come to him, I assure you.


You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
Frazyl places an offering of pumpkin in her hand and sends summons to the spirits of the land.
Frazyl convokes with the spirits as they arrive and nibble on the pumpkin. Frazyl whispers with
some of the most soothing spirits. The remaining spirits depart after a bit of nibbling.
Frazyl squints pleasantly at the restful spirits and gently curses them into protecting Unlucky
Charlie from harmful magics and faiths for a little while.
Frazyl makes soft soothing sounds while turning slowly around Unlucky Charlie to channel the
restful spirits into a fluffy shell around him.
Frazyl closes her eyes and mumbles something that sounds mystical. The restful spirits swirl
protectively around Unlucky Charlie. Unlucky Charlie giggles. Unlucky Charlie feels more protected
against offensive energies.

Unlucky Charlie fidgets uncomfortably.
Unlucky Charlie finally tells you: This is what I saw:

Aniline's Headless Horseman

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
A horse trots up from behind Aniline, as if summoned by her.
Aniline jumps as if startled and curses as she places a blundle of robes on the back of the horse.
Grinning evilly, Aniline animates the head of Ripe Pumpkin to sit on top of the bundle.
Smacking the horse on the rear end, Aniline channels the horse towards Unlucky Charlie.
The Headless Horseman gallops at Unlucky Charlie, knocking him over and leaving him feeling
ruffled. The horse shakes off the robe and pumpkin before riding off into the sunset.

     cast your votes on the GREY paper

Intermede

Young Phoibe Womblesworth says: While we wait, Our MotherGoose is going to perform a trick for
     entertainment purposes. Please do not vote for this trick.

You gaze into the crystal ball and see:
MotherGoose raises her arms to the sky and convokes the wind. A light breeze comes swirling round.
MotherGoose rearranges her hat. She smiles an enchanting smile.
MotherGoose seems to be holding something and swirling it around. Is she pretending to brew
something? You see the faint shimmer that looks like a bottle in her hands.
