"Alright."

The Magic mirror showed an immense glacier resting at the northern end of Kunark, at the tip of which was a large ice palace-boat, drawn by two strange sea seprents. A huge man in absurd armour stood at the prow of that boat, looking out across the glacier where his forces trained and prepared for war. A sad sort of song drifted through the air, and he was obviously listening intently. When the song finished, he turned, and you saw an Iksar woman with some sort of violin like instrument. Her arms and legs were shackled to the floor of the ice palace.

"Play me another, little bard." The man said in a shockingly deep voice. "If you do well, I might feel inclined to keep you."

The image shot across the glacier to the very tip, where the ice met the ground, and the two Jaukoehais stood behind a tree with two dead Rime sentries nearby. They were watching closely.

Ironskin looked at his brother. "Are the Di'zok infiltrators in place?"

"Yeah, I coined a few favours." Sky'ki replied.

"Good. Then let's not delay."

Sky'ki put his hand on his brother's pauldron. "Wait... Form of the Rook."

Ironskin paused, and tapped the ice with his boot a few times. "Yes, I think so."

"Good, you go in first."

Ironskin calmly walked out onto the ice, his shield and hammer in his hands. The Rime forces saw him almost immediately, and a rather important looking warrior on a white horse rode to meet him. Jaukoehai stopped and waited.

"Stop in the name of Rime!" The warrior said, staring down the Knight-Captain.

"Rime? Why, what do you mean?" Jaukoehai asked, feigning ignorance.

"We are a mighty order from Velious!" He said, launching into a well rehearsed monologue. "An order of warriors weilding the might of ice, the strongest of all elements of water! We have come here from our ravaged continent to find a new one, ripe for the picking and ravaged by war! This is a land divided by selfish factions, and it begs for the strong, binding embrace of Rime! No matter how our foe resists, we have a divine mandate to--"

"Yeah, we're done here." With a resounding shout, Jaukoehai grew into a giant featureless humanoid form of pure black stone, at least two meters high. His armour and cloak vanished as he grew, but his shield and hammer grew with him. With a deep grunt, Jaukoehai, now in the form of a Rook from the fabled Chessboard, struck the herald of Rime with his hammer. The warrior, coarsing with lightning, went sailing into the midst of the Rime base.

The general stop the prow of his frozen vessel growled and drew his huge axe. "Soldiers of Rime! Destroy this interloper!"

The Rime forces charged across their glacier toward the two brothers, one of whom was still a giant golem. As the Rime forces charged, a few of their number began to change. Standing amongst them, quite suddenly, was several Di'zok warriors. They look a bit like a Sarnak, but less large and impressive, and their snouts are tipped by a sharp beak. The chaos broke out as the infiltrators attacked the Rime forces around them, allowing the two brothers to pierce their ranks.

(I'll post the rest later.)
