===The Assault on Chaos===

The Amberites then conceive a two-part attack on Chaos.  The first assault is to go to the Sawall's lands to rescue Oberon, following Dara's intelligence and direction.  During this, Dara would be in disguise as Aurel of Helgram -- accompanied by Samuka disguised as Lord Helgram.  This attack would hopefully be blamed on the Helgrams.  The second assault would be to kill members of the House of Helgram, hopefully to be blamed on the Sawalls.  

The Amberites all gear up, leaving behind only a few to man the fort.  Using a trump which Dara has, they enter the Sawall's lands led by Dara and Samuka in disguise.  They then fight their way through chaotic jumps in landscape and geometry to where Dara says that Oberon is.  He is imprisoned in an artificial darkness, but is easy to release after slaying the guards.  

They return to Amber via trump, and immediately gear up for their assault on Helgram.  For the first time, Manfred changes into his demon form before others, which turns out to be a short, busty black-haired woman with small horns on her head, reddish skin, and bat wings.  Janica and Alexandra look askance at him for describing this as a "hideous demon form".  He/she then takes the trump which he was given by Aurel of Helgram -- the diplomat whom he had negotiated with weeks ago.  He explains that he is Manfred and at first pretends that he is escaping and coming to their side.  He then kills Aurel and trumps in the others.  Again, they slip through the chaotic environment, and eventually assault Lord Helgram.  It is a difficult fight, with sorcerers defending him as well as his own shapeshifting abilities.  Eventually, though, they overpower them.  Lord Helgram melts into a black ooze, but Federico, Janica, and Manfred divide him and he dissolves.  The force then trump back to Amber triumphant.
