"The Comedian"</span><br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">Toby was not pleased that there was nothing that he could do to help, but he understood that being a good soldier meant getting out of the way those that had been trained to do a job.  He looked again at his human companions, Carla, Cassie and Josey.  None of them had asked for this danger, doubt and temptation.  Maybe because Toby wanted to see the birth of his baby daughter more than anything else in the world, he was better prepared, well, that and a lot of time spent reading books that included faeries.<br/>
<br/>
"Let's go up and get out of her way, gang," the fat man said to the other humans.  Then he continued, "There's probably a fabulous treasure or something enticing at the very top, but let's not give in to the temptation to touch anything.  Carla, you and I would probably muck things up terribly if we gave into temptation.  Cassie and Josie, that applies to you two also, but remember those magic oaths, because taking anything that doesn't belong to you will not only screw everything, but you'll likely also lose whatever hand you use to grab something."<br/>
</span></span><br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff"><span style="font-size: 15px">Toby worried that he might have said something to make Josey and Cassie feel ashamed, but the warning had to be said.  Still, he couldn't leave a cloud of disapproval over the younger pair's head or anyone's heads for that matter, so he added, "You have all been great troopers and I'd be proud to go into battle with you people by my side."  He gave them all a look that he hoped they'd take as a sign of approval.<br/>
<br/>
"Okay, Earthings," the comedian said, "let's get up the stairs and out of the way.  Also, if you're of a mind, pray for the Oberon and her faeries to win!"<br/>
<br/>
Hoping that they would follow his lead, Toby started up the stairs.</span></span></span>
