The Lights of Vegas (Jan 13th)
The Seven Heaves Casino and Resort was the newest casino in Vegas and business was booming. Tourists and locals alike came to the new casino to check it out and to see if they could hit a jackpot. Some came out winners while others came out losers. Some came out completely changed and had a new outlook on life after finding religion. It was an unusual place to find religion, but then again the owners were very unusual themselves.

	The statue definitely pinged on Dawn's radar, so she went to investigate. Maybe whatever it was was the source of the "god"-power...? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The small statue seemed to hum with power and it grew louder as Dawn grew closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, no," Dawn said quietly. "I've seen this movie before."

If the statue thought she was touching it, it had another thing coming.

Okay then. She could probably just lift it off with magic. Telekinesis was a pretty simple mind power. Or put it in a mystic energy bubble. Also easy.

But things like this were never meant to be easy. So she needed something else here.

She looked around the room and found another artifact that looked like it was about the same weight. She cast a simple spell that swapped the locations, teleporting each to the other's place.

	The momentary lack of weight on the pedestal caused the alarms go off. Steel metal doors slid shut and a cage came down over area around the pedestal. It wouldn't be long before security came. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, damn. That should have been more instantaneous. She needed more practice.

...Then again, the replacement trick didn't exactly work for Indy either, did it?

Dawn looked around and hastily threw an invisible barrier in front of the door to the room.

She turned her attention to the statue, casting a spell to see what she could learn about it.

"By Agamotto, who drank deeply from knowledge's well, I did thee now, tell me all there is too tell."

	The statue glows for a moment. Dawn sees what would happen if she touched the statue. It was enchanted and her soul would have been sucked inside and trapped there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, yeah, we're putting you somewhere safe," Dawn said. She concentrated, gathering up the willpower and necessary magical power for this spell. "By Oshtur, knowing and wise, to protect all souls from this statues's soul stealing vise, bind it now and hold its power back, with the Crimson Bands of Cytorak." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The bands wrap around the statue and bathe it in ruby light. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn swallowed. This was all going entirely too well. Things, in her experience, never went this easily when the Defenders were involved. But the Bands were one of the greatest forms of protection in the universe. Even with her still growing casting abilities. She picked up the sphere the bands had forged. "Okay...," she said to herself. "Now what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of the doors opened and hotel security stood there. "You're coming with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2011-02-02 03:36 am UTC (link)
	Dawn spun around to face them. "Yeah, I don't think so." She waved a hand, putting some hypnosis behind it. "I'm not the one you're looking for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2011-02-02 03:58 am UTC (link)
	The guards looked at her for a moment and then went out the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...I'm actually getting good at this," Dawn muttered. She cast one more spell to hide the statue, and headed to find the others. (Reply to this)(Parent)
