Mmm... let's go over the possible solutions given what we do know.<br/><br/>Things we know:<br/>-They have four days<br/>-If, in those four days, Joel's demands aren't met, he will throw a tantrum and kill everything.<br/>-They'll be dead if they run, but staying in Cairo is not an option.<br/>-There are several portals that they can choose from to avoid Joel's wrath.<br/><br/>Paths we can take:<br/>-Take one of the portals (for the sake of variety we'll not go to France this time. It is a silly place) and continue teaching there.<br/>-Run into Iron City with guns blaring and probably screw them all over.<br/>-Gather an army of Thelemites and tear up the place. (Epic. Many deaths in the name of fucking.)<br/>-try to wait it out, or have Joel get impatient, commence the kidnapping.<br/>-deus ex machina.<br/>-if not an army, spend the remaining three days gathering a collection of other powerful people via the portals.<br/>-its too early in the morning to expect me to do any in-depth problem-solving.
