Jotunheim

[ngm_miscellaneous]

The portal from Vincent's magic opened on one of the middle levels of the Norse universe. Snow crunched under boots and bare feet as the Avengers assembled in the realm of giants. The sharp, craggy land was as welcoming as an ice pick between the shoulder blades. But out there in the cold and blowing landscape was a young girl waiting to be rescued.

"Yeah that's pretty weird," Erin supplies finally popping up. She blinks then throws water at all the Lokis.

It doesn't seem very effective.

[ngm_villains]

"Oooh, that tickles," the Lokis taunt. Suddenly this has gotten a bit creepy. They start to teloport around together and start flinging about arcs of arcane energy.

Audhild is tied up and sitting at a kiddy sized table. Oddly? There were toys to distract her. She had apparently not approved of them just like she hadn't approved of being kidnapped.

[comic_awareness]

Bruce took a quick flight aided leap and landed next to Audhild.

"Don't worry," he said quietly, working to untie her, "I'm here to rescue you."

[lil_hulk]

Arcs of arcane energy stung when they hit. That made Jay angrier. He paused in trying to grab one in trying to see a pattern. He had a guess of one.

When a Loki showed up to his right, he was going to grab and start using it as a baseball bat on all the others. Or just smack it repeatedly on the floor.

[avengingwarbird]

Roxie started knocking the blasts of magical energy directed at her this-way-and-that with her mace, ensuring that they ended up going in directions that would cause harm to none.

She glared at the nearest Lokis. "That the best you got? You Asgardians are wimps compared to us Olympians, clearly."

[vincent_amora]

"LOKI!!" Vincent rushes ahead, but winds up clipped by Jay swinging one of the Loki replicants. Vincent is knocked to the floor of the cave.

The Casket tumbles out of his grasp. "NO!"

[the4thblackknight]

Out of the corner of his eye, Marcus saw the casket go flying. Disbelief washed through him. That thing had nearly cost him and Erin their lives and Vincent dropped it?

"You incompetent tit!" He shouted at Vincent, ducking around the 'Loki' he was swinging at to try and recover the thing.

[wateronthebrain]

"Someone grab it," Erin yelps as one of the Lokis back hands her and she goes bouncing into a wall in surprise.

[ngm_villains]

One of the Loki look-alikes not actively engaging anyone laughs.

"Fool!" He grabs the Cask and starts to open it to engage some of the power of the Cask.

"You simply tripped... and here I thought you were an Avenger." Loki had failed to notice the little trick Amora had left behind. Luck is about to go towards the Avengers now.

[comic_awareness]

A carefully controlled photon blast freed Audhild, and Bruce scooped her up.

"Don't worry," he said. "We're gonna go home now."

[avengingwarbird]

Roxie noticed that one of the Loki-alikes was not like the others.

She rushed him.

[lil_hulk]

Jay saw what Roxstar was doing. Since she was going for the front, Jay was swinging a not-quite-puny-god at Loki's backside. If the fake disappeared, he would at least smack Loki with one hand with the way he was holding the ragdoll fake.

[vincent_amora]

Vincent just starts shrieking at Marcus and Loki alike as he hurls attack after attack at the Loki with the Casket. "Shut up shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP!! I AM an Avenger!!"

He has to sell this part until Loki's fully tried to tap the Casket's powers.

[wateronthebrain]

Did Vincent go crazy? Oh he did. Great. Well she decides she better make the Loki with the Cask trip so she has a puddle of water form just in front of his feet.

[ngm_villains]

Two thing happen.

No wait make that three. Loki dodges Roxie by mere inches first. Second he sneers and steps forward to fling a Cask empowered spell at Vincent.

Three, he trips and slides because of the unexpected water on the ground.

[pintsizedbruiser]

"I want to go home," Audhild complains.

"Loki ist mean!"

[comic_awareness]

Bruce lifted off the ground, aiming toward the exit. "I've got her!"

"Hang on tight, kiddo!"

[vincent_amora]

Vincent is about to press the advantage the slip yielded when Bruce flies past with his sister. He locks his jaw and snuffs the spell out in his palm. "Another day, Laufeyson.

Avengers! We are leaving!"

He flies at full speed after Bruce, pulling a glass orb from a pouch and smashing it upon the ground. A whirling vortex opens back to Earth. "I'll hold the portal. Go, now!"
