===Manfred Joins the (Chaos) Army===

Elsewhere in Rebma, Manfred surveys the battle lines, which seem to be doing well.  He receives a note from Queen Moire that Virgil is going to be headed up to the Rebman embassy in the city of Amber, to be near his sister Vialle, in two days time.  Her note suggests that he might safeguard Virgil's journey -- i.e. leave Rebma.  He slips off to a quiet part of the city, and swims up to the surface, shifting shape along the way.  He bursts from the sea in his "hideous demonic form" and flies to the armies of Chaos which are besieging Amber.  

There he brazenly pushes his way in to see the leader, General Posman (sp?).  He calls himself "Helchre" and claims that he would have credentials sent over when it could be arranged, and in the meantime he wants to help with the fighting.  Leaving, he contacts Dara (the younger) via trump and asks her to arrange that someone in Chaos speak for him to General Posman.  She agrees, and shows signs of sadness but asks for nothing when Manfred offers to help.  

He goes with five others to make an attack on the front, where he is eventually opposed by Caine.  They break off with some estimate of each others' fighting, and he takes in a survey of the fighting.  Upon returning, the general informs him that they would have new reinforcements (including golems) in a week and a half.
