Finding that brute force is doing little against these “creatures of deep magic”, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] has a flash of inspiration and uses a martial art based on “striking the enemy's pressure points and using their own energy against them”. Using it against the particular [[Rider (The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere)|Rider]] she is exchanging blows with at the moment, she successfully causes him to explode under his own “infernal energies”. | Finding that brute force is doing little against these “creatures of deep magic”, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] has a flash of inspiration and uses a martial art based on “striking the enemy's pressure points and using their own energy against them”.

After witnessing their colleague's explosive end, the other riders of the [[Wild Hunt]] disperse, but [[Glendalf]] warns [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] that the Hunt will not give up so easily. Looking for a way out of [[Faerie]], the two explore the ruined city and stumble upon the entrance to a ''[[Red Lion]]'' pub. | After witnessing their colleague's explosive end, the other riders of the [[Wild Hunt]] disperse, but [[Glendalf]] warns [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] that the Hunt will not give up so easily.

=====Part X===== | |||
As she stares at the door, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] recovers her memory of the ''[[Red Lion Inn]]'', “one of the great disreputable interstitial bars and taverns of the hypercosmos”, which had the ability to change its location to evade detection by powers like [[ARCHONET]], and to connect to a number of universes through underground tunnels, and was frequented by “heroes seeking quests, criminals on the run from the law, queer people seeking hookups, and anyone looking for a place to stay”. | |||
=====Part XI===== | |||
The bouncer, [[Lockjaw]], readily recognises [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]] and lets her and [[Glendalf]] in. Inside, various other odd characters (including “cyborg soldiers and supermen, [[orc]]s and [[elf|elves]], detectives and witches, gods and [[demon]]s”) are socialising, including several mythical figures Jenny recognises, such as [[Osiris#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Osiris]] or [[Morgan Le Fay#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Morgan Le Fay]]. While she is taking all this in, Jenny hears a voice from behind her, which, instead of introducing herself, starts the conversation with a knowingly bad pun; Jenny whirls round to find none other than [[the Bartender]]. | |||
