FYI, Kalse is voting and unvoting everybody, but I can't do vote updates every 10 seconds... the rest of the votes haven't changed.
Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

Julok, the little boy, was bored. After many days stuck in the labyrinth, the adventurers had all fallen into mutual distrust, and now kept their distance and spoke little. Thus, Julok devised a game, entitled "Annoy the adventurers until they lashed out, then run like hell laughing." So far, he had annoyed the Arak woman so much that she threatened him with the dead assassin's poisons and terrified the scarred Capustanii man by surprising him while he was digging up part of the floor in a secluded hallway.
His latest target had been the Jheck barbarian, but the savage had simply stared at him, seemingly immune to Julok's pestering. When Julok gave up and made his way to the purple-haired woman instead, the Jheck man followed at a distance.
Julok merrily danced around the woman shouting annoying taunts in a sing-song voice for several minutes until her arm suddenly uncoiled into a blurringly quick punch. Her fist connected directly with the boy's face and flung him across the room to embed him into a wall. The Jheck shouted down the halls to summon the others then rushed into the room.
"What have you done? He was just a child!" he screamed at the woman. She ignored him, and was staring intently at the body of Julok. The Jheck lifted a glowing blue arm towards the dead boy and advanced towards him, but the woman suddenly grasped his hand - which was colder than ice despite the heat of the caverns - and pulled him back. "Sabira, what are-" he tried to ask, but she cut him off. "It's him." A red aura was glowing from behind her eyes.
In the entranceway, the other adventurers had just arrived and had heard her last words. All turned to face the little body held in the wall, which suddenly exploded in a wave of dark purple magic sweeping outwards. The wave knocked everyone from their feet and tore large gashes of flesh out of bodies. Sabira and Ut'gau were back on their feet immediately, while the boy Julok re-formed his body and advanced from the far side of the room.
Sabira and Ut'gau charged into battle while the others slowly recovered. Julok, his whole body emitting an amethyst aura, dodged the furious strikes of Sabira's fists and Ut'gau's obsidian sword while lashing back with short bursts of energy, which Ut'gau blocked using his sapphire-infused arm.
A dive between Ut'gau's legs gave Julok a brief moment of respite. He flung to each side a ball of actinic energy and then rejoined the fight against the other Espers. While the trio fought, the balls resolved themselves into the forms of Mekin Zikulka, not-so-master assassin, and Amee Najayin, the hyperactive orphan girl. Mekin advanced towards Ut'gau's back with long-knife unsheathed, while Amee covered him with a crossbow. He was about to attach Ut'gau's back when Zahska, the Arak woman, tackled him to the ground. She made contact for only a moment and then quickly dashed away, taking Mekin's long-knives with her.
Mekin hopped to his feet and advanced on Zahska, but came to a halt seeing that she had taken his throwing knives, too, and was ready to fling them at him. Mekin scanned the room, and smiled upon seeing Amee aiming the crossbow at Zahska. He readied himself to leap forward after she fired. But instead of firing upon the desert woman, Amee turned to him and shot the bolt straight into his gut. The impact flung him to the floor and blacked out his vision for a few moments.
When his vision cleared, he saw nothing but a pair of bright green eyes above him. Realization dawned - Lilly had been reborn in Amee's body and must have wrested the crossbow from the real Amee who was covering him. "We're on the same side..." he pleaded. "Maybe, maybe not, I don't really care," whispered Lilly. "You killed me. Twice. And I've killed you, once. I still owe you one." Then she stood up and slammed down her heel, crushing his throat.
The three Espers continued to duel in the center of the chamber, with the occasional burst of red, blue or purple energy flying off to dent the walls. Stook, who had run off after being struck by the shockwave, had returned and was frantically waving the others back to the entranceway. Lilly and Zahska joined Stook, who pulled a melon-sized box out of his bag and passed it to Lilly. He went digging through his bag again, but couldn't find what he was looking for. The other two turned to stare at Zahska, who timidly pulled a ring of keys out of her robes and passed it to Stook. The Capustanii selected a key, unlocked the box and withdrew a round clay ball slightly larger than his fist.
Lilly was intrigued, while Zahska, who had spent much time in the Malazan Empire, immediately backed up twenty paces.
Stook strode into the chamber and shouted at Ut'gau and Sabira to get clear. He gave them a second to comprehend, then flung the cusser and dove back towards the entranceway, while watching the grenado's arc from under his arm. Too high, he realized - Stook had thrown as if Julok were the height of an adult. "Fener's foreskin! I missed!"
Julok saw that the cusser would sail harmlessly over him, and so made no attempt to evade it. Behind him, the ghostly form of Etyno appeared as it had many times before, almost impossible to see. Sabira, her perceptions enhanced by the Apostl'ey Maduin, saw the lich easily, but Ut'gau did not. She summoned Akhrast Korvalain and shouted "REVIVIFY" at Ut'gau, who's mind immediately bent to her will. His arm shot forward, emitting a beam of sapphire energy which struck Etyno and began restoring him to life. The ghostly illusion of flesh became solid less than a moment before the cusser struck, smashing into Etyno's new face and breaking open, resulting in a deafening explosion which shook the whole labyrinth.
As the dust settled, Ut'gau revived his own broken flesh and then crawled to Sabira, who was surrounded in a pool of blue blood, while Stook, Zahska, and Lilly stared down into the crater which now filled most of the room. At the bottom, small amethyst fires burned smaller and smaller, until finally no trace of the Esper and Apostl'ey were left.
Rashan is dead. He was Julok Jokul.

Eight bells later, the five survivors stepped out of Sekarand's Tower and began limping their way across the nearby bridge which led over a canal into the heart of Lamentable Moll. Mid-way across, Amee shuffled over next to Ut'gau and beamed him a wide smile.
"So, Ut'gau, where are you planning to go next...?"
"Opals and shards, Lilly," Sabira cut in, "you never quit do you?"
"What?! You knew?!"
"Of course," replied Sabira. "I'm very perceptive. Amee had bright blue eyes, but yours are green like before. I thought being trapped in Amee's body would be punishment enough, but since you're already up to your old tricks, I think a little swim might be necessary, too."
Lilly, in Amee's body, turned and ran, but Sabira shouted "HALT" and Lilly did. Sabira shouted "JUMP OFF THE BRIDGE" and, tears streaming, Lilly did that, too.
The game is ended. The Bahamudites are defeated. The Adventurers have won.
