Red Wedding

Story summary for Red Wedding:

Part 1:

The Queen of the Ice Pagoda is having nightmares about the spirit of her murdered father being in trouble [in the Feng Shui RPG storyline, the four Monarchs conspired to kill their own father. Only the Ice Queen has shown any signs of remorse since then]. She summons the Prof and "invites" her to keep watch on two refugee Architects scientists (Dr. Ngubane and Dr. Damiri), but at the meeting with the Prof she sees Silver Jet and realizes that he is really Jin Sha, her long-lost consort and orders wedding preparations to start. After a quick kiss, Silver Jet remembers everything. The Prof agrees to help the Ice Queen. When introduced to the scientists, Dr. Ngubane recognizes that the Prof is Dr. Anita Dao, former Architect scientist [another reference to the Feng Shui RPG storyline].

Part 2:

Silver Jet a.k.a. Jin Sha learns of the Queen's nightmares about her father's ghost, and offers to help find him. The Ascended learn of the Dragon's efforts and plan to whack them because Rebecca Dupress has figured out that the "insignificant" Dragons are actually foiling a lot of their big plots. Dr. Ngubane reports home to Dr. Boatman in the future about Dr. Dao. Ming I and Li Ting conspire to stop Silver Jet from finding their father's spirit. The Dragons go to Zino the Greek, information broker, to try to get a lead on the ghost, but they are attacked by the Ascended.

Part 3:

The Darkness/Fire forces attack the Ascended forces to allow the Dragons to escape (it's all part of the plan, mu-ha-ha-ha). Zino tells the Dragons they need to talk to Cassandra, a seer. On the way, they run into Reverend Zebediah Paine in the middle of a firefight and help him out. Gus talks his way past the crazy preacher. At Cassandra's cave, they go through a ritual and learn that the Queen's father's ghost is imprisoned in a forest of stone spirals, and right after that, the Darkness/Fire forces led by Chamberlain step in. Chamberlain kills Cassandra and makes the obligatory foreboding threat.

Part 4:

Chamberlain wounds Bei Tairong but the Gunman takes him out, then they mop up the remaining Darkness/Fire forces. The Hand and the Ascended separately plan to crash the Ice Queen's wedding. The Dragons find the forest of stone spirals, and are ambushed by Jueding Shelun who set up the whole thing with the Queen's father's skull to control his ghost as a lure. He summons Ten Thousand Agonies. The Dragons take a beating but Rev. Paine shows up to help dispatch the demon. Jueding gets his claws on the Gunman but Silver Jet kills him before he can do any lasting harm.

Part 5:

The Lotus plan to crash the Ice Queen's wedding. Someone hires Two Face (the Jammer band) to do a gig outside the Ice Pavilion on the day of the wedding. Columbia and Laurel Towson of IKTV put on a running commentary during the wedding ceremony. Two Face works up the crowd and then literally crashes the wedding with the obligatory mess. Dr. Ngubane releases an assassin bug. Ninja Six stalks the party, looking for an opportunity to kill Silver Jet. Then Rev. RedGlare enters with an armed horde of followers.

Part 6:

The Gunman tussles with Rev. RedGlare, using Rev's gun and crucifix-shooter to take out the assassin bug, Ninja Six, and Rev. RedGlare too. Gus and the Dragons catch the Fire King and Darkness Queen sneaking out, to the room where their father's skull is kept (presumably recovered by the Dragons in part 4). The Ice Queen and Thunder King catch them and humiliate them with a punch bowl. Dr. Ngubane shoots and wounds Bei Tairong, but before he can finish off the Prof, Dr. Damiri shoots him in the back. The Ice Queen casts a sleepy spell to quell the riot. And there you have it.
