"Now I shall truly need to do penance" Illillitl quielty reminded himself, "for I more than almost felt prideful for the kindness of this generous, wise, and stout fellow."

Putting his mind quietly to the task at hand, Illillitl carefully blew very, very gently across the surface of the ruby liquid. A few stray fumes of the potent wine wafted through the Calderia.

One fume found the two fallen monks, who instantly jumped to their feet and screamed at the top of their lungs, "Yeeeeeeeeeehaw!" Of course, this was followed by a series of shushing, which were in turn shushed, until finally every monk reminded himself of the penance now owed for violating their vow of silence.

Another fume wafted into the kitchen where it found Kegger, Elmo, and the infant dragon. Each of them in turn responded with an appropriate exclamation and tried very hard to widen their eyes while, at the same time, trying to close them tightly.

The third, and final, fume wafted dangerously close to the Great Hearth, where it arrived just in time for Sparkl to appear. A very loud [color:"yellow"]"Pop!"[/color] was heard, accompanied by a bright flash of light. A thin trail of smoke drew curly-ques across the air of the Calderia from the hearth to the Abbey's front door. Where the ironclad door once stood was now a gaping hole to the snowy outside world.

Illillitl quielty made a quiet mental note to replace two doors. Then, he drank the remainder of the wine in a single gulp and quietly passed out.
