In order to save our good bud Yazdir from the Nareevians, our brave heroes must face a huge and powerful enemy. An enemy with big ol’ spikes! Luckily, the gang has a few tricks up their sleeves and this prickly foe is about to enter pain city USA.

Story[]

Toby attempts to sneak up on the Trox to polymorph him into a jellyfish, but he sees a bowl of overturned Nareevian beans for some reason, and this scares him. The Trox notices the Ätlän-tã Fælcons and attacks. They make quick work of it, though Steve nearly dies, and afterwards, Toby picks up the key to Yazdir's yoke with his Mage Hand, and unlocks her. She changes into human form, and looks anime as hell. She can speak common, but considers it beneath her, BUT Steve has a helm of comprehend language, so he knows all of this. Anyway, Yazdir tells Jaela that she agrees to cause a ruckus, but then she is gonna bounce, and they will be on their own. She gives Jaela a magic whistle to blow whenever she needs her.

Trivia[]

Steve is a war-forged, which qualifies as a construct. Jaela's "Lay on Hands" specifies that she can't use it on constructs, but Michael rules that she can anyway.
