The Circle Continues

After the dance, the Bardic Circle continued.

Gaia is tired and exhausted after the dance, but she's smiling. She's decided that humanity deserves to survive. Gnasher Grimtooth has lost his brief enthusiasm, for only with the passing of the People of the Trees can the People of the Fire succeed. [By the way, this picture clearly shows the beads that the players wore to indicate the strength of their characters. Red beads are body points, a numeric description of physical strength; blue beads are mana points, a numeric description of magical skill; brown beads indicate the strength of a character's armor. Gnasher has also apparently gained a yellow bead, which indicates a ritually-enduced point of body or armor.]
Gaia begins to change her mind again as Winston gives his presentation on the destruction of the planet Neon. It's supposed to be humorous, but it falls pretty flat. In the background, Bill Seligman and Vito smile politely.
Van Dorn is not amused at Winston's witless maunderings on the planet Neon. In his hand he holds the proxies that pre-determines humanity's fate when the Meeting continues. In the background, from left to right, Forty-five Jaguars, Beleriond, and Priscilla are not amused by Winston either.
Periwinkle Pipe plays Show and Tell with John Steed. Susan Lane chats with Puck in the background.
From left to right: Qkzkqrrp is about to make one last bid for its own attempts to destroy the world (aren't we fortunate that it didn't combine forces with Van Dorn?); Zorro assumes his secret identity of Diego de la Vega as he tries to understand the events of the Meeting; Louie the Loser has regained his lost confidence.
Puck, that wiley trickster, tries the "Look, over there!" trick on Mrs. Peel, but it does not work. In the background, Zorro and John Steed debate the relative merits of a sword-cane versus a sword-umbrella.
