* Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka joins the adventure. [General][Unaka] "Hey, world. Have you ever wondered where the exact center of civilization is? I think I've found it." [General][Raeh] "It is not me." [General][Harsh] "oh where would that be Unaka?" [General][Rhadyn] "Don't feed the beast Harshmellow!" [General][Unaka] "Think about it for a while, I think. I wonder what you'll think." [General][Rhadyn] "We know it's not Raeh cause of huggin' and all" [General][Souv] "everyone knows it's me" [General][Rhadyn] "Is it me when I'm in Aesry?" [General][Unaka] "Never thought about it being a person. Seems like civilization is about a lot of people." [General][Raeh] "Like a common enemy." [General][Kethrai] "So this is a place? In the geographic center?" [General][Rhadyn] "Crazy talk. Are you related to Jaelia" [General][Unaka] "Yeah. Something like that. That's what I think, anyway." [General][Raeh] "It sounds very philosophical to me" [General][Harsh] "does this help us find our missing friends? where are they Unaka? and also are you a dragon as well like that scholar i met the other day" [General][Unaka] "But more than just location. There's something about things that are built, by a lot of hands. By a lot of minds." [General][Avrenka] "Are you referring to the Temple perhaps?" [General][Unaka] "I think the Temple is a pretty big accomplishment, myself." [General][Elizzibiana] "possibly talkin about the Hive" [General][Rhadyn] "The hive is a good thought" [General][Unaka] "I don't know anything about missing friends. And I'm not a dragon. Some reason you ask that?" [General][Zalinyar] "Send me the weak and sorcerous Paladins, I shall lock them in my basement where they shall not weaken the bulwark!" [General][Raeh] "He asks everybody that." [General][Nawain] "Meh. Temple's just a big building. It's pretty enough, but it can fall down, without destroying civilization." [General][Unaka] "Takes a lot of working together to build something like a Temple, though." [General][Nawain] "Probably about the same amount of people as it would take to make the North Trade Route." [General][Avrenka] "the Temple has been the epicenter of many powerful spells and events, historically" [General][Maintain] "The Temple is more than just a structure. It is...complicated. That is part of why this monk resides in Vela'tohr." [General][Valynn] "Sounds as if you are thinking of a community." [Eyes of the Thirteen, Eye of Truffenyi] The granite platform sparkles slightly where touched by the diffused light shed by the silvery blue dome. Silver feathers inlaid in the crystal dapple the surface of a polished granite altar with tiny shadows that almost blend into the stone's already mottled surface. Rising from the altar's center is an ornately carved triptych statue crafted so seamlessly as to appear an extension of the same stone of the altar.You also see a grey cat that is sleeping and a tall silver candlestick. Also here: Bastion of Life Karthor, Truthseeker Elurora whose figure is gracefully highlighted in a soft aurora of silvery-violet light, Mathematician Avrenka, Veteran Apprentice Anuril who has a fiery visage, Heart Tender Kethrai and Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka. Obvious exits: up. Avrenka says, "Curious how an Empath and Warrior Mage knew to come here." Karthor says, "It's the temple, nobody's sure where they're goin' here. Place's an actual labyrinth." Karthor grins at Elurora. You grin at Karthor. Anuril dryly says to Avrenka, "I'm a curious fellow." Unaka nods. Avrenka smirks. [General][Elizzibiana] "as Crossing original has been destroyed in the past, rebuilt, but was threatened again in the past" Elurora bows. Kethrai says, "We're good at riddles." [General][Valynn] "A community is more than a building, it's a feeling and knowing you have friends who will have your back when you need them." Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. You see Conqueror of the Wilds Unaka, Maul of Truffenyi of Elanthia, a Gor'Tog Paladin. Unaka has an oval face, dark brown eyes and a straight nose. She has jade skin and a brawny figure. She is tall for a Gor'Tog. She appears to be an adult. She has a polished horn nose ring banded in gold piercing her septum. Thin flame-marked bands decorate the cinereous horn, adding a fancy flourish to the simple hoop. She has a tattoo of a swath of tribal war markings on her face. She is in good shape. She is wearing a pilgrim's badge shaped like an ox skull, some iron pauldrons accented with a pair of ox horns, a white linen blouse cut to expose the midriff, a thick leather weapon harness with gold buckles, some segmented leather gauntlets embellished with gold buckles, a rough leather war belt with a buckle accented by a pair of tusks, some tanned hide breeches framed with a bearskin tasset accented with carved bone and a pair of faded bear-hide boots wrapped with leather straps. Unaka asks, "Or maybe they had a little help?" Unaka smiles at Kethrai. Karthor closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Elurora says, "I had help finding out where you were." Elurora nods to Unaka. Avrenka says, "I had the moon and stars guide me here." Unaka shrugs. Kethrai pets Anuril's grey cat. Unaka says, "Doesn't matter. What matters is that you're here." Anuril says to Avrenka, "You find friends where you can." Anuril nods to Unaka. You notice as a white dog pads into the room. The white dog begins to watch the goings on carefully. [General][Valynn] "Where is Jaelia and here flock of gooses." Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Unaka says, "Anyway. I was just thinking about civilization, and where the heart of it might be." Elurora slowly asks, "And you think it is here?" Unaka says, "I know Truffenyi pretty well right now, and yeah, I do think it is here." You look over the area and notice that it does not appear to be a residential neighborhood. Elurora casually observes the area. Anuril ponders. Karthor casually observes the area. Kethrai asks, "Strange phrasing. Right now?" Unaka says, "There's a reason the Crossing is the Crossing. Rivers crossing, but also people. The center of circles is a great place for people to meet." Unaka nods to Kethrai. Anuril gives a slight nod. Unaka says, "More than before, that's for sure." Avrenka asks, "Much like the Plane of Abiding, no?" Elurora asks, "I do not know Truffenyi well, could I ask what brings you to that thought?" Karthor says, "A place where paths cross, ya might say." You ask Unaka, "What sort of circle do you mean?" Elurora cocks her head at Unaka. Unaka says, "Plane of... I don't follow." Avrenka chuckles. Anuril says, "Pardon our obliqueness, we've been dealing with some rather interesting times lately." Anuril smiles at Unaka. Unaka says, "Hold on, I like to take things slow. One thing at a time." Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. You quietly say to Anuril, "Too true." Elurora blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue. You nod to Unaka. Unaka asks Elurora, "Which thought?" Karthor says, "Ah good, that's refereshin'. Been a bit of a whirlwind here all of a sudden." Karthor twitches. Elurora says to Unaka, "That Truffenyi's altar is the center." Anuril examines a low granite altar. Unaka says, "Ah, yeah." Unaka says, "So, Zoluren is at the center of all the provinces, the ones we can get to anyway." Elurora gives Unaka a slight nod. Unaka says, "The Crossing is at the center of Zoluren. And this Temple is at the center of the Crossing." Anuril gives a slight nod. Kethrai says, "More or less." Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration. Anuril searches around for a moment. Unaka asks, "And on top of that. Everywhere Truffenyi has gone, or will go, is holy, right?" >look alt The altar looks a bit dusty. The altar sits on the platform near the edge of the dome. The triptych statue placed upon it is turned in such a way that it appears as if the eyes of the Truffenyi carving upon it are looking through the dome into the chamber below. Elurora furrows her brow. Anuril ponders. Avrenka gets some icy-blue celestial charts detailed in dark blue ink from inside his black backpack. You notice as a spotted storm-grey lynx with piercing blue eyes pads into the room. The storm-grey lynx begins to watch the goings on carefully. Avrenka carefully reviews his charts. You reach out and touch a low granite altar. A tingle runs through your skin as you touch a low granite altar. Anuril quietly says, "Not my area of expertise." Elurora asks, "But couldn't taht be said of any God?" Unaka says, "Makes me wonder if they built here because that's what he wanted. Father of civilization." Avrenka puts his charts in his black backpack. Karthor nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views. Kethrai nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views. Avrenka asks, "What about the other 12 immortals? They're not the center?" Unaka says, "And maybe they put his altar right at the center, because he's the one who wanted it." Unaka says, "I mean. Eh." Unaka grins at Avrenka. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Elurora chuckles. Anuril stands near a low granite altar. You chortle softly at some secret joke. Unaka says, "Truffenyi is the one who really cares about people, if you ask me." Avrenka says, "What a surprise, a paladin of Truffenyi thinks Truffenyi is the center of the world." Avrenka coughs. Anuril looks at Avrenka, obviously trying not to grin. Elurora just nudged Avrenka. Avrenka says, "Excuse me, I was coughing." Unaka says to Elurora, "Oh, yeah, and he also showed me a vision of this place. That might have had something to do with it too." Karthor chuckles. Anuril snorts, loudly. Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Elurora asks Unaka, "Would you tell us of your vision?" Elurora smiles at Unaka. Karthor says, "Ya might've led with that..." Karthor grins. Unaka says, "Hmmm. Yeah, sure." Elurora beams at Unaka! Kethrai says to Karthor, "Said she likes to take things slow." Karthor nods to Kethrai. Anuril takes a sip of his tea. Unaka asks, "So, have any of you ever had a vision before?" Anuril gives a slight nod. Kethrai gives a slight nod. Karthor nods. Elurora gives Unaka a slight nod. Mountain Lord Ezerak's group came across Truffenyi's shrine. Avrenka says, "Maybe." Avrenka smirks. Ezerak doffs his top hat. Anuril nods to Ezerak. Unaka asks, "Okay. And did you ever have, like, five of them at once?" Elurora shakes her head at Unaka. You scratch one ear, feeling bemused. Kethrai frowns. You say, "Can't say that I have, myself." Kethrai says, "That sounds awful." The wan light of the dome sparkles where it touches the silver flecks and feathers inset into the floor. Anuril quietly says to Ezerak, "They are describing to us a vision they have had." Karthor says, "Yeesh, that sounds like a lot to take in." Avrenka says, "Every time." Anuril nods to Unaka. Ezerak says to Anuril, "Thank you." Unaka says, "I think it was kinda like that." You angle your ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Elurora softly says, "Most of the visions I see are given to me by moon mages or when I use my soulstone, and those are very small." Unaka says, "I know you want to know more. I'll get there. It might take some time." Anuril smiles. Ezerak whispers something to Anuril. Maraisel looks over Unaka very closely. Anuril nods to Ezerak. Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Elurora nods to Unaka. Elurora says, "Please take your time." Casari asks, "More visions? What did I miss?" Avrenka says, "Yeah and hurry up." Avrenka ducks his head. Planar Pilgrim Maintain's group came across Truffenyi's shrine. Kethrai just nudged Avrenka. Unaka says, "But, okay. One little piece. It was like an ox head came out of the sky and spoke right to me. Only maybe he was also my father, at the same time." Harsh smiles. Maraisel glances at Avrenka. A horned phantom thrall hobbles in with a yip, tailing after its master. Elurora blinks at Unaka. Anuril nods to Unaka. Ezerak acts puzzled. Ryeka curtsies to Unaka. Maintain bows. Ezerak looks over Unaka very closely. Maintain touches a hand to his mouth and offers a prayer for the continued safety and good fortune of the people surrounding him. Harsh gives a courteous nod and tips his blob politely. Unaka says, "Seems like I can do a bit more now, too. But that's getting ahead of myself." You observe Unaka with fascination. Avrenka says, "Ox, the symbol of Truffenyi." Elurora cocks her head at Unaka. Anuril quietly says, "For those newly arrived, this person is describing a vision Truffenyi has granted them." Ryeka peers quizzically at Unaka. Unaka says, "Vision. Maybe experience, more like." Ryeka nods. Aaiyaah jots down some notes. Casari looks thoughtfully at Unaka. (Elurora stands quietly obviously focused on listening to Unaka.) Avrenka taps his foot impatiently. Ryeka smiles at a white dog. Unaka says, "I was sitting outside, tending a bit to my fire. There was a flower nearby, something I wanted to care for, just in my spare time." Ryeka nods. Unaka says, "Then, yeah. Ox head out of the sky. Boom." Anuril appears to be trying hard not to grin. Elurora flashes a quick grin at Unaka. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Avrenka gets some icy-blue celestial charts detailed in dark blue ink from inside his black backpack. You ask Unaka, "It spoke to you?" Casari asks, "Um, was it lavender?" Unaka says, "And it was like I was hearing everything normal, but also like I just knew it all along." Elurora looks at Casari, obviously trying not to grin. Ezerak nods to you. Avrenka stares in confusion at his celestial charts. Ezerak asks Unaka, "What did it say?" Unaka says to Casari, "Yeah, like a purple." Anuril gives Unaka a slight nod. Kuge came across Truffenyi's shrine. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Avrenka refers to his celestial charts for guidance. Ryeka asks, "Like this?" Ryeka offers Unaka a sprig of lavender. Harsh quietly says, "I love the smell of purple." Unaka accepts Ryeka's sprig of lavender. Harsh nods. Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Unaka asks, "Hey, yeah. How did you know?" Unaka sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Unaka says, "Good stuff." Ezerak nibbles his lip thoughtfully. Ryeka says, "We talked about visions recently." Ezerak says, "That vision." Ezerak nods to Ryeka. Ryeka says, "Including one about lavender." Unaka says, "The one I found was looking a bit wilted. Sometimes I like to protect things like that." Valynn's group came across Truffenyi's shrine. Maintain says, "Better than taupe, one supposes..." Valynn winks at Leilanie. Ryeka nods. Elurora smiles at Unaka. You nod at Ryeka, in complete agreement with her views. Casari asks, "Right. Moon Mages saw a vision of... you, maybe?" Unaka asks, "Me?" Casari says, "Maybe." Leilanie whispers something to Valynn. Aaiyaah winks at Valynn. Leilanie grins at Valynn. Elurora asks Unaka, "Were you clearing brambles by chance?" Maraisel looks thoughtfully at Unaka. Unaka says, "Well, I guess the big ox head was something special." Valynn grins at Leilanie. Aaiyaah moves over to guard Valynn. Unaka exclaims, "Yeah, I was!" Maraisel nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Aaiyaah moves into position to cover Valynn from harm. Valynn smiles at Aaiyaah. Unaka nods to Elurora. Ryeka chuckles. Harsh blinks. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Maraisel says to Elurora, "I was wondering the same." Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Maraisel chuckles. Elurora says, "It does sound like the vision was of you." Ryeka exclaims, "Then I've been looking for you!" Anuril whispers something to Kethrai. Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Kethrai coughs. Ryeka says, "Though I didn't know it was you." Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Unaka smiles at Ryeka. Unaka says, "Well, here I am." Anuril mumbles a word of general praise. Harsh quietly says, "Not a dragon either." Harsh gets an impish expression on his face, and lets out a hearty cheer. Ryeka chuckles. Karthor chuckles. Elurora asks Unaka, "Was there more to your visions?" Unaka says, "So, you know, the message. Don't know if I can get it all out in one go, but here goes." Elurora nods to Unaka. Elurora blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue. You gaze at Unaka. Ezerak gazes at Unaka. Ale Beard Rhadyn came across Truffenyi's shrine. Unaka says, "He loves us. We're his children. He might be harsh sometimes, but it's out of love." Ryeka smiles at Rhadyn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Elurora tilts her head, clearly curious about something. Rhadyn nods to Ryeka. Anuril glances at Harsh. Anuril glances at Unaka. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. You scrunch your forehead together and furrow your brow. Harsh quietly says to Anuril, "Its not me." Unaka says, "He wants us to survive, and apparently there's some dangerous things going on. He wasn't exactly clear on what." Harsh shakes his head. Elurora nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Anuril looks at Harsh, obviously trying not to grin. Anuril nods to Harsh. Unaka says, "He was pretty clear that we shouldn't be listening to everyone who has something to say, though." Ryeka nods to Unaka. Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration. Unaka frowns. Langen Esturi Nilme came across Truffenyi's shrine. Anuril gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Harsh quietly says, "Like the fella what said we shouild stop sorcery perhaps." Kethrai angles his ears forward in curiosity. Maintain frowns. Unaka says, "Seems like there might be some danger there. Or maybe they're just wrong." Kethrai says to Harsh, "Or the fella what said we should do more of it." You stand near Nilme. Avrenka says, "Or the other fella who said we should not stop sorcery." Nilme smiles at you. Harsh quietly says, "So many fellas." Nilme tried to join you, but you indicate to her that Elurora is leading. Nilme joins Elurora's group. Harsh sighs. Elurora hugs Nilme, who wraps her arms around Elurora with a warm smile. Unaka says, "Sounds like you've been listening to a lot of fellows already." Unaka chuckles. Elurora says, "There are a lot of folks giving...advice." Avrenka says, "Question is, which fella do we listen to." Kethrai says, "Hearing them out, more like." Anuril nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Casari says, "I guess we're listening to you, too. But at least you're talking about an Immortal. That's better." Unaka nods. Maintain folds his arms across his chest. Unaka says, "I'm just telling you what he told me." Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Elurora asks Unaka, "Did he say anything about who we should listen to?" Kethrai asks, "Don't suppose he gave any clues to know who we should listen to?" Elurora looks at Kethrai, obviously trying not to grin. Valynn gazes at an ornately carved triptych statue. You nod at Casari, in complete agreement with her views. Aaiyaah jots down some notes. Unaka says, "He wants us to listen to him." Ryeka chuckles. Kethrai ponders. Unaka says, "And... I'm pretty sure he wants me here to help." Ryeka nods to Unaka. Elurora softly asks, "Should we pray?" Elurora furrows her brow. Harsh smiles at Elurora. Casari says, "Sounds like the best way to hear an Immortal." Leilanie nods to you. Unaka says, "Pray if you want to, sure. I think he wants us to talk too, though." Ezerak nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views. Anuril asks Unaka, "You said there was something, or things, new that you could now do, since receiving this vision?" Unaka nods to Anuril. Unaka says, "Noticed it on the way here." Anuril asks, "Are you then to teach us?" Anuril asks, "Or those of us who are able to learn?" Unaka says, "Hmm. Doubt I can do that." You angle your ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Elurora asks, "What are the new things you can do?" Harsh quietly says, "Oh." Harsh snaps his fingers. Unaka says, "Protect, though. I might be able to help with that." Ryeka gets a crystal vial from inside her spidersilk backpack. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Tempest Knight Saragos's group came across Truffenyi's shrine. Unaka says, "Truffenyi seems to really want that." Elurora smiles at Harsh. Saragos fixes Unaka with a frank, even stare. Harsh smiles. Elurora asks, "Protection?" Avrenka nods to Saragos. You smile at Unaka. Unaka nods to Elurora. Ryeka washes a low granite altar with her holy water. Harsh nods to Elurora. Rejind closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. The clear pool of water soaks into the ground, leaving no trace of its presence. Ezerak gazes at Unaka. Crobin just hugged Harsh. Ezerak asks Unaka, "Protect how?" Unaka says, "Hello." Harsh hugs Crobin gingerly, trying not to hurt him. Aaiyaah leans on Crobin. Ryeka looks up and sighs, smiling. You ask, "What did you discover you're able to do that's different now?" Saragos says to Unaka, "Finish what you were saying about protection. Then I have questions." Crobin chuckles at Harsh. Harsh grins. Unaka says, "Not sure yet. But I'm here to try. Truffenyi wants me to try." Ryeka shivers suddenly, seeming less secure. Anuril ponders. Saragos says, "This might be important." You gaze at Saragos. Casari nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views. Anuril asks Unaka, "Were you a member of a guild before this vision?" Ezerak nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views. Elurora says to Unaka, "I know about protecting people with my shield but I am not sure if that is what you mean." Unaka says, "I figure you all are going to tell me how best to protect. But I'm here to do it." Unaka nods to Anuril. Unaka says, "Paladin." Anuril nods to Unaka. Unaka sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Rhadyn taps something inside his utility belt. Avrenka ponders. Harsh glances heavenward a moment and utters a desperate prayer. Unaka says, "If there are these other guys telling you things, well. Maybe we should talk about it and figure out what to do." Avrenka asks, "Didn't Khoheke believe that Paladins needed to keep their souls pure in order to strengthen the Bulwark?" Anuril ponders. You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs. Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration. Elurora nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Unaka says, "Don't know a Khoheke." Saragos says to Unaka, "Tell me very carefully about what sort of protection you learned about from your vision." Ryeka nods to Unaka. Maintain says to Harsh, "He is a patronymical type. Protecting would be more likely than a direct lesson." Karthor says, "He was also in the "stop sorcery" camp, fer what that's worth." Unaka fixes Saragos with a heavy, ponderous stare. Avrenka nods to Karthor. Aaiyaah closes his leather-bound chronicle, hooking back the latch. Shh'oiyvh-ur Ograth Elizzibiana came across Truffenyi's shrine. Leilanie closes her eyes for a moment and grows still. Unaka says, "In the vision it was just clear he wanted you all protected." Anuril smiles. Avrenka asks, "If we were to protect the "lavender flower", well doesn't that represent Meraud and magic?" Unaka says, "Civilization should be protected." Saragos asks Unaka, "But how? Was there anything you thought might have been a message?" Elurora slowly asks, "Did he say anything about the Bulwark?" Unaka gazes thoughtfully at Avrenka. Kuge goes up. Harsh quietly says, "Meraud's blessing does seem to offer some feeling of protection during wild mana flare up's." Harsh nods. Karthor asks, "By clearin' out the .... sorcerous brambles, to carry the metaphor?" Avrenka says to Harsh, "Now there's an idea." Unaka says, "Hold on, we're going kinda fast. One thing at a time." Harsh quietly says, "Ive done it." Harsh nods to Avrenka. Unaka says, "I'm not used to so many people." Unaka grins. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Anuril nods to Unaka. Valynn grins. Leilanie smiles at Unaka. (Saragos lifts his hand and finds it shaking, then quickly steadies it by clasping it behind his back.) Maintain ponders. Kethrai says, "Let's talk about the people who have been telling us things." Crobin hugs Valynn, getting a smile in return. Harsh nods to Kethrai. Harsh quietly says, "And how one of em just told us not to listen to people tellin us things." Harsh nods. Valynn smiles at Crobin. Elurora says to Kethrai, "If you feel comfortable doing that, the rest of us can stay quiet and let her listen to you." Valynn hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Valynn with a warm smile. Anuril smirks at Harsh. Kethrai says, "One, Asildu, is a scholar who told us we could fix things by getting everyone not to use sorcery. Another, Miraena, said the same." Aaiyaah says, "Unaka, thank you for making time to come share you vision with us. Any guidance on how we should proceed would be much appreciated." Unaka says, "Yes, that was part of Truffenyi's message. Don't listen to everyone claiming to have wisdom." You gaze at Unaka. Kethrai says, "But then someone else, Valenal, said that we shouldn't trust them, and that the problem is regular spellcasting, and more sorcery could fix it." Valynn ponders. Kethrai asks, "Are you saying we shouldn't listen to any of them? Or pick a side?" Unaka says, "Hmm. I'm not what you'd call a high mage. But Truffenyi did also say something about sorcery." Casari gazes at Unaka. Elurora cocks her head at Unaka. Ryeka peers quizzically at Unaka. Ezerak whispers something to Saragos. Anuril gazes at Unaka. Valynn seems to be waiting for something. Unaka says, "I think he thinks it's okay if you do the cross-spells thing." Ryeka nods to Unaka. Elurora ponders. Valynn glances at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Avrenka smiles. Saragos asks Unaka, "Was there anything in the vision you felt you didn't understand? Directions, maybe? A ritual you didn't recognize? Strange actions? Anything about beings watching?" Unaka says, "But Necromancy is bad for sure, and those bigger, nastier sorcery spells are bad." Harsh nods in agreement. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Anuril gives a slight nod. Kethrai nods to Unaka. Unaka gazes thoughtfully at Saragos. Avrenka ponders. Karthor says, "That holds up to conventional wisdom. Cross-castin' is only a problem if ya botch the attempt." Maintain says, "This monk hopes he is not surprising anyone, but more sorcery is so infrequently the answer that Eluned's Mirror would suggest that is not the case." Brief flashes of silver light illuminate the surroundings in sharp bursts as shimmering bolts arc from within the depths of the shadowy orb, swirling around Maintain merely to rejoin with their parent on the other side. Crobin just hugged Aaiyaah. Unaka says to Saragos, "He was standing in front of a sort of big disk thing. Not sure what that was about. And he didn't really say how to protect, just to protect." Aaiyaah hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Aaiyaah with a warm smile. Aaiyaah grins at Crobin. Avrenka says, "Yeah but Truffenyi just said it's okay." Elurora thoughtfully says, "A big disc thing..." Elurora gazes off into the distance. Ryeka ponders. Leilanie ponders. Crobin laughs! Saragos asks Unaka, "What did the disk look like?" Kethrai ponders. Unaka ponders. Ezerak ponders. Unaka asks, "Guessing stone, maybe kinda like a potter's wheel or a millstone?" Ezerak asks Elurora, "You have a thought?" Ryeka ponders. Unaka says, "But like I was telling folks earlier, it wasn't so much like a vision as it was like five visions at once." Avrenka furrows his brow. Elurora quietly says to Ezerak, "Nothing helpful, I don't think." Ryeka says, "I seem to remember seeing something like that near where the thicket vipers live- but I've not been there in years." Saragos asks, "Did it have a hole in the center, or was it solid?" Casari shifts her weight. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Maintain says to Harsh, "A millstone turned by oxen would not be so unusual..." Aaiyaah nods at Crobin, obviously agreeing with his views. Casari says, "Interesting. The one claiming to have visions from the heralds also described it as an experience of multiple visions at once." Harsh shakes his head at Maintain. Ryeka ponders. Avrenka asks Casari, "Which one?" Elurora asks Casari, "The girl with the flowers?" Unaka says, "It kinda started as like a potter's wheel, but then it was more like a millstone, and it kept changing. Waterwheel, windmill. Things like that." Ryeka acts puzzled. Casari nods to Elurora. Harsh quietly says, "So a wheel, a." Harsh ponders. Elizzibiana stares intently at a white dog for a moment. Valynn nods to Harsh. Saragos frowns, shaking his head with an expression of exasperation before resting his face in the palm of his hand. Unaka says, "Circles are important to Truffenyi, I think. Like I was saying about civilization." Ezerak acts puzzled. Ryeka nods. Harsh nods. Kethrai says, "Could even just mean a cycle of some kind." Leilanie shifts her weight. Harsh nods to Kethrai. Ryeka says, "The temple itself is built in circles." Harsh quietly says, "Yueah tell me bout it." Harsh groans. Avrenka says, "Yeah it's the worst." Elurora nods to Ryeka. Ryeka chuckles. Anuril grins. Ryeka pats Harsh on the back. Elurora asks Unaka, "Can you show us this new ability you learned?" A glimmer in the dome catches your eye, reflecting off of a magpie's feather inlaid into the crystal. Unaka says, "Sure." Elurora beams at Unaka! Anuril observes Unaka with fascination. Leilanie gazes at Unaka. Ezerak nibbles his lip thoughtfully. Unaka says to Elurora something in Ilithic. Crobin brushes the surface of his bone amulet and begins to reel! He clutches his head in pain! Elizzibiana brushes the surface of her bone amulet and begins to reel! She clutches her head in pain! Leilanie ponders. Anuril raises an eyebrow. Ryeka blinks. Ezerak blinks. Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Elurora grins at Unaka. Harsh squints. Valynn grins at Unaka. Elurora nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Unaka says to Kethrai in Prydaenese, "Pronunciation's pretty good too." Ezerak brushes the surface of his gais diadem and begins to reel! He clutches his head in pain! Karthor scratches his head. Kethrai nods to Unaka. Valynn chuckles to herself. Ryeka says, "You can speak Ilithic? Or that's what I heard." Elurora smiles at Casari. You beam at Unaka! Harsh quietly says, "You can understand everyone." Ryeka nods. Harsh quietly says, "And talk to them." Valynn nods to Ryeka. Harsh gazes off into the distance. Unaka says to Karthor something in Haakish. Ryeka nods. Unaka grins at Karthor. Elurora brushes the surface of her sraeth earcuff and begins to reel! She clutches her head in pain! Karthor grins at Unaka. Unaka nods to Harsh. Unaka points at Harsh. Karthor says something in Haakish. Harsh smiles. Kethrai says, "That makes sense from Truffenyi, I guess. Language for cooperation in society." Leilanie says, "What a gift." You quietly say, "That's amazing." Aaiyaah nods to Rhadyn. Casari gestures. A myriad of disjointed sounds seem to linger aimlessly in the air for a few moments before they blend together into phrases you quickly recognize. You feel your mind sharpen further under the power of Casari's spell. Ryeka nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Ezerak nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Leilanie nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Valynn nods at Leilanie, obviously agreeing with her views. Ryeka exclaims, "Amazing!" Anuril nods to Casari. Karthor asks Kethrai, "Didn't ya say the not-human did somethin' like that, too?" Casari says, "There, that second cast should solve it for everyone." Maintain nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Unaka says, "Yeah, and it feels easy. Not like I'm struggling." Kethrai nods to Karthor. Nilme quietly says to you, "Putting the bards out of business." Harsh quietly says, "What a wonderful voice to have." Nilme winks at you. Harsh nods emphatically. You grin at Nilme. Elurora says to Unaka, "That would be useful in bringing many folks together, being able to understand and translate." Valynn gives Nilme a wry grin. Nilme grins at Valynn. Unaka nods to Elurora. Kethrai says to Unaka, "Did you recall seeing anything about any people? Five of our friends are missing. We're trying to figure out how to them back..." Unaka frowns. Unaka gazes at Kethrai with a sympathetic look on her face. Saragos says, "I can't... I can't do this right now." Ryeka pats Saragos on the back. Unaka says, "No. I can't say I saw your friends." Elizzibiana makes a chirring noise in the back of her throat. Valynn looks with concern at Saragos. Kethrai trills softly at Saragos. Your ears droop for a moment as you gaze sadly at Unaka. Unaka says, "But I'm here to help, whatever's going on." Saragos says to Unaka, "Listen carefully, please. My wife, and mother of my children is missing. Four others are missing. Kidnapped magically." Aaiyaah asks, "Unaka, what else can you share with us about your vision? Anything?" Unaka nods to Saragos. Crobin asks, "You can speak to everyone...can you speak to the Heralds?" Ezerak says to Crobin, "Good question." Saragos asks Unaka, "Can you think of anything in your vision that might relate to missing people, or perhaps prisons, or dragons, or unseen watchers?" Saragos nods to Ryeka. Elurora says, "We're going to overwhelm her." Unaka fixes Saragos with a heavy, ponderous stare. Leilanie nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Harsh quietly says to Elurora, "Then at least she can tell us all at the same time to shut up and we will all understand perfectly." Harsh nods to Elurora. Elurora flashes a quick grin at Harsh. Ryeka grins at Harsh, her dimples flashing into view. Karthor closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Unaka says, "Dragons, maybe. He said don't listen to everyone who claims to have wisdom. Got a sense of that." Anuril ponders. Ryeka nods. Harsh ponders. Avrenka asks, "So ... Protect. Come together and talk. Careful who you listen to. That about sums it up?" Unaka says to Crobin, "I don't think the Heralds have a regular language." Harsh sighs. Crobin says, "Yet you seem to be able to communicate with everyone so far." Crobin shrugs. Unaka says to Avrenka, "And love. Truffenyi loves us." Crobin says, "Was worth a shot." Elurora smiles at Unaka. Avrenka says, "Right right, can't forget about that part." Crobin says, "Never know if never try." Unaka says to Crobin, "Well, admit I haven't tried talking to a Herald before." You trill softly at Unaka. Unaka says, "Point me at one, I'll give it a go." Crobin says, "Well they seem to be creeping on us at all times." Unaka grins. Ezerak smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in his cheeks. Ryeka grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Ezerak praises Unaka. Maintain says, "This monk suspects that the Heralds are perfectly capable of listening and largely choose not to, similar to how they speak." Valynn grins at Unaka. Saragos says to Unaka, "If you get any other visions, please, find me. Or let people know who will find me. I'll be at Arhat's Tower. I need to get back to work." Ryeka says, "The last time I saw a Herald, that herald wasn't in a good mood." Ryeka chuckles. Maintain nods at Ryeka, obviously agreeing with her views. Harsh frowns. Your tail undulates lazily through the air. Crobin says, "Good." Unaka nods to Saragos. Crobin says, "If they are the ones messing with us." Kethrai says, "Gods but I want to go back to when 'heralds' meant Crobin and the Captain at a joust." Saragos kneels down. Elurora asks Unaka, "Is your ability to understand speak in other languages your only new ability or are there others?" Crobin says, "I hope one sleeps on a tack tonight." Unaka says to Saragos, "Sorry to hear about your wife." Saragos begins to pray. Anuril smiles at Kethrai. Harsh nods to Saragos. Harsh begins to pray. The grey cat wakes up and purrs, "No autographs." Unaka says to Elurora, "Oh there's more." A grey cat curls up and takes a nap. Ezerak nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Saragos stands up. Elurora asks Unaka, "Would you share what those are with us, please?" Saragos nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "I can also speak to cats now." Elizzibiana stares intently at a grey cat for a moment. Unaka winks. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Elurora giggles. Saragos sighs. Ryeka meows in a bad imitation of a cat. Aaiyaah says, "Unaka, based on your vision , what does your instinct...soul....tell you to do moving forward? I know you said protect." Karthor scratches his head. Ryeka chortles softly at some secret joke. Valynn chortles softly at some secret joke. Ezerak chuckles at Unaka. Unaka says, "But really, got some new abilities, you might say." Tempest Knight Saragos strides up. Harsh stands up. Ezerak asks Unaka, "More than just the languages?" Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "Protect, uphold. I was drawn here, to the Temple." Aaiyaah says, "We all want to do something to aid in this, but some do not know what exactly to do." Unaka nods to Ezerak. You ask, "To... cats?" Ryeka nods. Maintain ponders. Aaiyaah nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "No. The cat was just here." Crobin says, "Call out to the Heralds." Avrenka pets Anuril's grey cat. Elizzibiana points at a grey cat. Ezerak curiously asks Unaka, "What else?" Ice Knight Chrysaor came across Truffenyi's shrine. Unaka says, "Well, let me give it a go. I liked this one earlier." Casari gazes at Unaka. Elurora gazes at Unaka. You angle your ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Unaka raises her hand in an imaginary toast. You hear a distant but hearty chuckle as a dram of Shorka's Venom appears in Unaka's left hand! Ryeka nods. Kethrai angles his ears forward in curiosity. Anuril blinks. A young brunette woman in sky-blue robes enters the room, glancing around silently as if to make sure everything is in order, then silently leaves. Valynn grins. Unaka takes a sip of her Venom. Elurora blinks. Unaka chuckles. You trill softly, ears relaxing minutely against your head. Unaka asks, "Pretty good, right?" Karthor grins. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Harsh looks at Unaka and applauds! Avrenka frowns, shaking his head with an expression of exasperation before resting his face in the palm of his hand. You grin at Unaka. Ezerak says, "Certainly is handy." Casari asks, "Looks like Glythtide's Gift?" Ezerak chuckles. Valynn says, "Good for parties." Unaka nods to Casari. Ezerak nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views. You nod to Casari. Elizzibiana nods to Casari. Unaka guzzles down some of her Venom and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve. Anuril nods to Unaka. Harsh raises his hand in an imaginary toast. You hear a distant but hearty chuckle as a mug of zombie's revenge appears in Harsh's right hand! Avrenka says, "Give me a break." Maintain says to Harsh, "Perhaps we should seek an audience with the Council." Aaiyaah asks, "So for the clerics among us, when you think protect and this temple...where is the most important place you would gather us to ...protect? A specific altar?" Harsh quietly says, "I really am at a loss my friend." Harsh nods to Maintain. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "You're thinking too small." Aaiyaah ponders. Aaiyaah nods. Unaka says, "I'm here to protect civilization. Everything." Anuril says, "Wait." Ryeka says, "The high altar, the ressurection altar- and I think the orb." Elurora nods to Unaka. Ryeka ponders. Unaka slowly says, "Everything is at risk. Everyone." Anuril asks Unaka, "Can you.. can you Bless things, people?" Harsh takes a sip of his revenge. Elurora asks Unaka, "Is there a way we can help you do that?" Harsh takes a sip of his revenge. Harsh stands up. Leilanie knits her eyebrows together in a thoughtful frown. Unaka gestures at Anuril. A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Anuril's body. Harsh blinks at Unaka. Karthor asks, "Hm, have ya gotten any insight into the nature o' the threat, by any chance?" Unaka says to Elurora, "Well, you tell me." Valynn gazes at Anuril. Elurora says to Unaka, "We know there is a danger, but we do not know what exactly." Ezerak says, "Interesting." Avrenka asks, "What's next, she's gonna cast Air Bubble?" Casari asks, "So... wait, can you cast all of the Clerics' spells?" Unaka says, "I'm here. Use me. You all should have a good think about that." Harsh quietly asks, "So you are a paladin with the magic of a cleric? what about healing can you heal people too?" Anuril asks Unaka, "I see. Can you... ahm... make light? Divine Radiance?" Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Harsh scratches his head. Unaka gestures. A glowing aura surrounds Unaka. You blink at Unaka. Crobin asks, "Can magic users focus on a person?" Anuril gawks at Unaka. Ryeka blinks. Karthor ponders. Avrenka says, "Maybe she'll cast Clear Vision next." Kethrai gazes at Unaka. Avrenka sighs. Valynn raises an eyebrow. Aaiyaah asks, "Could we as paladins use our soul to help reinforce or fix the bulwark in some way?" Crobin asks, "Like...can all of the magic users here just focus all they can on Unaka?" Elurora says to Crobin, "We might ask her if she minds first..." Karthor closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Unaka says, "I can wrap a bandage around people, not so much like the Empaths." Crobin says, "Sure...good idea." Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Harsh nods. Crobin says, "Unaka." Harsh grins at Crobin. Crobin asks, "Can the magic users of the room focus on you?" Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "That's a great question. If we can, I'm here for it." Crobin asks, "Use you as a beacon to try and pull somethings attention here?" Unaka says to Crobin, "Sure." Anuril asks Unaka, "Truffenyi has granted you all clerical magics?" Ezerak ponders. Ryeka ponders. Ezerak curiously asks Unaka, "Can you ressurect the dead?" Unaka says to Anuril, "Something like that. Doubt I could resurrect a person, but yeah." Elurora gives Unaka a studious look, as if committing her to memory. Casari asks, "Can you... still cast Paladin magic?" Leilanie gnaws on her lip. Casari looks thoughtfully at Unaka. Harsh quietly asks, "Doubt huh?" Harsh quietly says, "We shoudl find out." Ezerak gives a slight nod. Harsh nods. Unaka says, "Yep. Pretty sure I didn't forget." Anuril says, "So just the uses of holy mana that don't involve a confound..." Unaka gestures. An opalescent glow momentarily illuminates her before sinking into her skin. Ryeka says, "I know the magic of Vigil as well as Auspice. Perhaps there is a way to use that." You nod to Anuril. Crobin asks, "I myself can't do magics, but if there are casters here that can start to focus on Unaka and see what happenes?" Crobin says, "Focus as much magic as we can into her." Crobin says, "Lets make her a beacon." Kethrai ponders. Unaka shifts her weight. Anuril observes Crobin with fascination. Unaka asks, "Is this gonna hurt?" Casari smiles at Unaka. Harsh quietly asks, "Charge her? like a cambrinth?" Crobin gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface. Ezerak asks Unaka, "Fascinating. Can you utilize other magics as well?" Ryeka says, "It shouldn't." Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Karthor closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Unaka says, "Hm, maybe if you gave me a scroll. But just holy from Truffenyi." Maintain says, "It is fairly rude to do, but if the benefactor consents..." Ryeka asks, "By your leave?" Avrenka says, "I really don't see what this is accomplishing." Casari says to Unaka, "That's a really nice gift you have. Praise Truffenyi. I'm a little jealous." Ezerak nods to Unaka. Ryeka gestures at Unaka. Ryeka's cambrinth bracelet emits a loud *snap*. A shaft of pure white light pools in Ryeka's hands and streaks out toward Unaka, bathing her in its radiance. Unaka nods to Casari. Anuril gives Avrenka a slight nod. Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. You ask, "Is that something we could do to protect civilization, I wonder? Follow the same logic for our own spell use?" Aaiyaah says, "Ok so, it sounds to me that Unaka has a part to play in finding the solution we are working towards. We just need to figure out the solution." Unaka nods to Aaiyaah. Elurora quietly asks you, "Make a really big shield, which is kind of what the Bulwark is...maybe she's meant to help us with that somehow?" Unaka says, "Yes. That's it. You figure it out, I'll help." Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Harsh quietly says, "Well that place they are stuck in is void of holy magic." Chrysaor coldly says, "So I can't focus on her or charge her with mana." Anuril smiles at Unaka. Karthor says, "Hm, folks were thinkin' that holy magic's the key lately, eh? An' here's someone with all of it at 'er fingertips." You angle your ears forward, gazing curiously at Elurora. Leilanie smiles. Harsh quietly says, "Perhps Unaka can carry holy magic back to it." Anuril nods to Karthor. Avrenka says, "Maybe we can catapault her at the tower." Unaka says, "I mean, I'll talk about it with you if it helps too." Avrenka ducks his head. You trill softly at Karthor. Leilanie just nudged Avrenka. Unaka nods to Ryeka. Elurora asks, "Didn't someone say the Bulwark was like cracked glass right now?" Elurora rubs her head. Avrenka says, "A human joke, sorry." Kethrai nods to Elurora. Casari says, "Khoheke did, yes." Aaiyaah nods to Elurora. Elurora says, "Perhaps if we could somehow get enough Paladins to put energy into it." Elurora asks, "How does one repair glass? Fire?" Aaiyaah says, "How do we fix the glass? Exactly, Elurora. My mind goes to our souls." Anuril whispers something to Kethrai. Casari gazes at Elurora. Crobin asks, "Group is meeting at the empaths here shortly yes?" Elurora glances at Casari. Kethrai whispers something to Anuril. Elurora nods to Crobin. Anuril gives Crobin a slight nod. Avrenka says, "Well last time the Bulwark was reinforced because there was a specific large break in it, using a specific weapon device ... not sure that applies here." Unaka asks, "Group meeting?" Elurora says to Unaka, "Would you like to come to the meeting? We were going to talk about just this problem." Casari says to Elurora, "What kind of fire do you need? I have fire fire, magic fire, holy fire...." Aaiyaah motions to Avrenka. Aaiyaah nods. Unaka nods to Elurora. Kethrai nods. Crobin nods to Unaka. Anuril beams at Unaka! Unaka says, "Sounds like that's what I'm here for." Avrenka says, "Now the Bulwark has many small tiny cracks, and we have no device." Chrysaor joins Elurora's group. Elurora asks, "Perhaps we should all follow Kethrai?" Kethrai says, "It's going to be at the Empath's guild shortly." Elurora grins at Kethrai. Rhadyn joins Elurora's group. You grin at Elurora. Avrenka joins Kethrai's group. Kethrai says, "Happy to lead." Elurora joins Kethrai's group. Unaka joins Kethrai's group. Leilanie joins Kethrai's group. Harsh joins Kethrai's group. Crobin joins Kethrai's group. You join Kethrai's group. Ezerak says to Elurora, "Casari can get any fire that you need." Leilanie smiles at Valynn. Casari grins at Ezerak. Elurora grins at Casari. Valynn grins at Leilanie. Valynn motions to Leilanie. Valynn points at Kethrai. Leilanie nods to Valynn. Unaka says, "If someone said a thing and I didn't get to it, we can always talk about it again too. I like to go one at a time." Ezerak quietly says, "Except Black, but no one needs that." Kethrai says, "Moving to the Empath's guild, Combat Wing, in 5." Casari looks at Ezerak and shrugs. Harsh quietly says, "Most of what i say needs not be said at all." Harsh nods. Unaka says to Harsh, "Nah. Don't think Truffenyi agrees." Harsh quietly says, "I do tend to speak in circles." Harsh ponders. Ryeka grins at Harsh, her dimples flashing into view. [much group joining and traveling to the Empath guild later...] [The Healerie, Combat Wing] The corridor widens here, the ceiling arching upwards in a dramatic vaulted style from which lanterns hang to provide lighting. A practice mat, complete with a display that holds an impressive-sized shield, provides space for training defensive maneuvers and healing while in the thick of combat. Set behind a painted paper screen depicting battle, a circle of soft chairs surrounds a table topped with a decanter and a vase of pink dahlias.You also see a blue checkered cloth with several things on it.

Maintain gazes upward. A bright flash of flame erupts from Anuril's hand, vaporizing the mug that he is holding into fine grey ash! Lexxa says, "Food and drink on the cloth for all those arriving." Valynn smiles at Tirost. Harsh quietly says, "For those unaware, the commune to meraud performed by a cleric seems to afford some protection from the effects of this....wild mana." Kethrai recites: "Thank you everyone for coming. I'm not Dantia, just her understudy. We'll get started in a moment." Ezathiel takes a bite of the chicken. Valynn praises Lexxa.

Kethrai recites: "After some experiments with wild magic, five of our number -- Dantia, Navesi, Mazrian, Miskton, and Ayrell -- were kidnapped by someone. We're not certain who, but evidence points to the Heralds." Unaka says, "Think I need to be caught up." Unaka furrows her brow. Harsh beams at Witterwell! Elore quietly says, "Sorry class." Elore nods. Harsh hugs Witterwell, who wraps her arms around Harsh with a warm smile. Madigan raises an eyebrow in Aaiyaah's direction. Witterwell snuggles up to Harsh. Aaiyaah nods to Madigan. Tirost smiles at Aerilia. Gwenddolyn says, "It was likely the Heralds, so I would not suggest attacking any Herald." Parkons nods to Aaiyaah. Harsh quietly says, "Oh." Aaiyaah waves to Parkons. Imroth says, "Kidnapped by the Heralds is pretty big news." Harsh gazes upward. Ryeka takes a bite of the cheese. Khearkrash asks Madigan, "Has there been any demands? or statement of charges to loved ones? or anything to work with?" Imroth says, "I thought they uh... didn't do that sort of thing." Tirost nods amiably at Parkons. Unaka asks, "You really think it was the Heralds? Why?" Gwenddolyn says, "They do if there is high sorcery involved." Nawain praises Maintain. Maintain smiles at Nawain. Gwenddolyn says, "Yes because they were imprisoned." Ezerak rubs his right eye. Severei says, "I think the consensus was...we don't know who else can turn off magic." Intern Rhainn just arrived. Unaka blinks and appears deeply in thought over this notion. Elurora says to Unaka, "It was one of our guesses due to the way they were taken." Sothios just arrived, leading his group. Tirost smiles at Aerilia. Ryeka takes a bite of the cheese. Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Gwenddolyn says, "It seems like a precaution to prevent the bulwark from shattering entirely." Ryeka takes a bite of the cheese. Unaka nods to Elurora. Madigan says to Khearkrash, "Bunk. We have lots of theories but no target. We have less facts to pull on than hair on my head at this point." Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Well a disembodied voice said UNACCEPTABLE while we were attempting sorcerous acts then we were all imprisoned. So most likely a herald." Ryeka licks her lips. Ezathiel nods to Gwenddolyn. Kethrai says, "Yes, and then they did temporarily turn off magic. Everywhere. Again." You nod to Kethrai. Casari says to Unaka, "It involved some sort of colorless light, and a space which seemed abundant in all mana except completely devoid of holy mana." Harsh nods in agreement. Gwenddolyn says, "Exactly." Unaka says to Madigan, "Sometime's hair's hard to come by." Madigan nods to Aaiyaah. Madigan grins at Unaka. Kethrai says, "Saragos received word from Lord of the Void Daervlan agreeing he believes it was them." Valynn gets an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from inside her traveler's pack. Gwenddolyn says, "But I am wondering if Meraud, the god of magic set up that precaution." Maintain asks, "Is this particular sorcerous act grouping decent to speak of or...?" Unaka nods to Casari. Gwenddolyn says, "He has intervened already." Unaka says, "No holy, you say? Hmmm." Kethrai clears his throat. Ryeka nods. Madigan says to Unaka, "I was about to say, we do not see many gor'tog paladins, least of which female ones. Good to see you guildsister." You nod to Unaka. Valynn opens a little mossy green lunchbox painted with the portrait of Vorclaf. Casari says to Unaka, "As if it was a place the Immortals can't go." Unaka nods to Madigan. Gwenddolyn nods to Unaka. Ezerak nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain observes Unaka with fascination. Madigan says, "And...no bloody holy mana." Harsh quietly says to Madigan, "Better than that, she can cast cleric magic with ease." Aerilia grins at Tirost. Harsh nods to Madigan. Rhainn smiles at Unaka. Severei takes a bite of the cheese. Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Valynn gets an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from inside her traveler's pack. Khearkrash ponders. Tirost smiles at Aerilia. Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. Madigan nods to Rejind. Harsh quietly says to Madigan, "Also, she can understand nd speak with any language apparently." Nawain suspiciously asks Unaka, "Don't suppose you've been pulling up brambles recently, have you?" Harsh nods. Miraeven presses his finger against a circle of obsidian. The gem glows briefly, then falls away from his forehead. Chrysaor nods to Harsh. Unaka says, "I can drink a beer really fast, too." Elurora says, "]Naw She has." Gwenddolyn says, "Using 3 kinds of mana is considered high sorcery." Elurora clears her throat. Casari nods to Nawain. Miraeven puts his obsidian in his messenger's satchel. Aaiyaah gets an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from inside his silk backpack. Tirost glances at Nawain. Kethrai recites: "Since the kidnapping, we have been visited by... several unusual strangers." Aaiyaah offers Unaka an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve. Elurora says to Nawain, "She has, and she was caring for a plant." You grin impishly at Unaka. Imroth laughs at Unaka. Witterwell melodiously says to Unaka, "Best skill ever." Ezerak chuckles at Unaka. Unaka says to Nawain, "Yeah, I was." Witterwell nods emphatically. Chrysaor coldly says, "She has aura of tongues." Ezerak says to Unaka, "Now that is a talent." Unaka grins at Witterwell. Severei takes a bite of the cheese. Ezathiel closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Witterwell grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Lexxa gazes at Kethrai. Nawain brightly exclaims to Unaka, "You're famous!" Unaka exclaims, "Guess so!" Rejind says to Gwenddolyn, "If one person does it, yes. If three casters worked together, each only using their native mana type and not interweaving the mana streams..." Unaka puts her chicken in her thick satchel. Nawain grins at Unaka. Unaka nods to Aaiyaah. Valynn offers Ezerak an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve. Aaiyaah offers Unaka an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve. Unaka accepts Aaiyaah's Advisor's reserve. Ezerak whispers something to Valynn. Unaka takes a sip of her reserve. Ezerak accepts Valynn's Advisor's reserve. Valynn nods to Ezerak. Ezerak takes a sip of his reserve. Forest Sprite Lileath just arrived. Gwenddolyn says, "But the fundamentals of magic have clearly changed recently." Kethrai recites: "Last andu, right here at Overhealers Anonymous, someone calling himself Asildu appeared, claiming to be a scholar of the Heralds. He suggested that magic is damaged because of sorcery, and the key to fixing it is to stop all forms of sorcerous casting." Gwenddolyn says, "So..." Tirost nods to Madigan. Harsh nods to Kethrai. Maintain rummages about his person, looking for something. Severei takes a bite of the cheese. You nod to Kethrai. Unaka whispers loudly to Aaiyaah, "Good stuff." Aaiyaah grins at Unaka. Leilanie appears to be trying hard not to grin. Gwenddolyn nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Aaiyaah nods in agreement. Khearkrash ponders. Imroth snaps to attention and hails Aaiyaah with a crisp hand salute. Gwenddolyn says, "That is what the commodore said to do." Maintain offers Nawain a generous snifter of Rayner's Rissan reserve whiskey. Avrenka gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface. Aaiyaah throws back his shoulders, snapping to attention and with a sharp click of his heels, renders Imroth a crisp salute. Nawain accepts Maintain's Rayner's whiskey. Nawain beams at Maintain! Ezathiel softly says, "Oh wow I missed that." (Crobin watches the group and keeping an eye on the surrounding area for anything out of place) Tirost nods to Imroth. Nawain takes a sip of her whiskey. A swirling vortex of brilliant light spins across the area. Raw energies rupture near Gwenddolyn, leaving her looking pale and drained. Witterwell concentrates for several moments, a greedy expression on her face. A strong mana surge is abruptly erased from existence! Unaka frowns. Sliyder shifts his weight. Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Severei takes a bite of the cheese. Harsh squints. Severei takes a bite of the cheese. Ezathiel rolls his eyes. You clear your throat. Strawberry Nurse Illiya just arrived. Nawain takes a sip of her whiskey. Ezerak takes a sip of his reserve. Kethrai recites: "Shortly after that, we were visited in the guild courtyard by someone named Valenal, who claimed to be a Human Warrior Mage, and shared a theory that magic is unstable because energy is flowing out of our plane in discrete chunks sometimes when we cast a spell in-realm." Crobin hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return. Ezathiel softly says, "Again with the surges." Illiya hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Illiya with a warm smile. Madigan asks Unaka, "I am calling on our guildbrothers and sisters in two days to gather to attempt to repair the Bulwark with holy magic and our sanctified souls. You are welcome to come. Do you have any bloody idea how to repair the Bulwark?" Khearkrash asks, "You all managed to Connect with Lord Moglin this time?" Vaerek asks, "Kethri what if we all came into agreement that you casting my spells is the same as you casting your spells?" Maintain smiles at Nawain. Ezerak whispers something to Valynn. Tirost nods to Khearkrash. Valynn tips her balaclava to Ezerak with a courteous nod. Vaerek says, "Or that." You nod at Kethrai, in complete agreement with his views. Severei brushes one ear with her hand, grooming it absentmindedly. Madigan smiles at Valynn. Kethrai recites: "According to Valenal, more sorcery would be the fix. He also said not to trust people saying not to do sorcery." Unaka asks Madigan, "I want to talk about it but seems like I should listen to that guy a little longer first?" Unaka nods to Kethrai. Ezathiel furrows his brow. Elurora flashes a quick grin at Unaka. Khearkrash asks, "We could try focusing on Alamhifs gift?" Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Elore casually observes the area. Illiya smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Valynn grins at Madigan. Witterwell melodiously says, "Valenal was really nice." Witterwell nods emphatically. Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Avrenka grins at Witterwell. Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Imroth says, "So.. completely contradicting inputs." Aaiyaah says, "Someone let Comfrin know to be on his best behavior so he can actually help us..." Leilanie slowly says, "And odd." Illiya says, "So it's definitely either more sorcery or less sorcery." Sliyder grins at Illiya. Nawain chuckles. Elurora looks at Illiya, obviously trying not to grin. Imroth chuckles. Karthor chuckles. Gwenddolyn says, "Doing the opposite of what the commodore said is not suggested." Elore nods to Illiya. Kethrai recites: "Then, we were visited by a young woman named Miraena, who claimed to have received visions from the Heralds. She said that sorcery was causing her village to be beset by vortexes, and asked us to stop, and spread the word that others should stop." Elore says to Illiya, "Atta girl." Crobin says, "OH good, means I can be on my worst behavior." Elore nods. Crobin nods to Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah grins at Crobin. Casari says, "Just wait until you hear what Unaka's vision said about it." Illiya grins at Elore, her dimples flashing into view. Casari smiles. Maintain says to Imroth, "This monk previously noted that both past experience and the application of Eluned's Mirror should eliminate 'more sorcery' as a likely solution." Ezathiel pleasantly asks, "Would it be a bad thing for us all to stop sorcerous actions at least for a little while?" Severei ponders. Reriyn just arrived. Sliyder asks, "Any clue to where her village is?" Severei says, "Getting everyone to stop is like herding cats." Rhadyn softly says to Aaiyaah, "Never happen." Karthor nods at Maintain, obviously agreeing with his views. Aaiyaah grins at Rhadyn. Nawain asks Gwenddolyn, "The Commodore isn't an expert on magic, is he? I mean, if he told me never to use all sails in autumn, alright, I'd listen. But what does he know about sorcery?" Nawain frowns. Avrenka says, "Yeah but if the Heralds are behind the kidnapping, then maybe we shouldn't listen to their visions." Kethrai says to Sliyder, "Somewhere to the west, supposedly." Shavay just arrived. Harsh quietly says, "I'll stop if you stop." Harsh nods. Gwenddolyn says, "Hopefully it is not sicle grove." Ezathiel nods to Severei. Gwenddolyn chortles softly at some secret joke. Imroth ponders. Witterwell tilts her head to one side. Unaka nods to Avrenka. Khearkrash says, "It would be simple for our guild to stop." Shavay winks at Ryeka. Unaka says to Avrenka, "Yeah. Exactly. Truffenyi wants us to be careful who we listen to." Avrenka asks, "And how do we know if Unaka even received a vision from Truffenyi, what if it were visions from a Herald?" Elurora quietly says, "It's hard to stop something you've never started." Chrysaor gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface. Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Kethrai recites: "Now, we've met this paladin Unaka who has received a vision from Truffenyi, saying he loves us and wishes us protected. Truffenyi says that necromancy and high sorcery are dangerous, but cross-realm casting is not." Unaka blinks at Avrenka. You notice as a black dog pads into the room. The black dog begins to watch the goings on carefully. Illiya leans on Elurora. Kethrai asks Unaka, "That about cover it?" Shavay asks, "What if it were just Kraelyst asking for, I dunno, chamomile this time?" Harsh nods to Kethrai. Avrenka says to Unaka, "Perhaps you should take your own vision's advice." Elurora wraps her arm around Illiya's shoulder in a friendly hug. Khearkrash says, "Ask the council to investigate if what this girl says is true, if it is, then sorcery is causing harm." Unaka nods to Kethrai. Illiya hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Madigan gets some Kygar's roast coffee from inside his traveler's pack. Maintain says to Nawain, "He is tasked with hunting those who practice High Sorcery, so his knowledge is not...nothing this one presumes." Nawain ponders. Unaka says to Avrenka, "I suppose I wouldn't trust me either. Tough world." Kethrai says, "All right, that's the briefest summary I could make, I guess." Elurora grins at Kethrai. You give Unaka a wry grin. Elore praises Kethrai. Witterwell melodiously says to Unaka, "I trust you, you have good booze sense." Gwenddolyn says, "I want to ask a couple questions since I was not there." Witterwell beams at Unaka! Maintain looks at Kethrai and applauds! Khearkrash says, "The village damage thing that is." Unaka flashes a wide grin at Witterwell. Shavay snaps his fingers. Aaiyaah nods at Witterwell, obviously agreeing with her views. Shavay rummages through a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame searching with intent, but it quickly becomes apparent he's not got a clue where to look. Shavay gets a cup of Liani's special rum from inside a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame. Witterwell grins at Aaiyaah, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost says to Unaka, "We are grateful you have come in our hour of need. Any information you might share will be heard." Severei gets herself a glass of strawberry lemonade. Yum! Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Shavay takes a sip of his rum. Unaka nods to Tirost. Nawain takes a sip of her whiskey. Illiya gets herself a glass of strawberry lemonade. Yum! Avrenka ponders. Gwenddolyn says, "Someone said the missing 5 could gweth for a short time." Kethrai asks, "Oh, Truffenyi also warned us not to listen to people claiming they bear wisdom, yeah?" Gwenddolyn asks, "What was gwethed?" Illiya takes a sip of her lemonade. Unaka nods to Kethrai. Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Avrenka says to Kethrai, "Dont' forget to love each other." Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Rhadyn gets a horn of Dwarven challenger's stout from inside his utility belt. Ryeka gets herself a slice of honey-glazed chicken. Yum! Avrenka smirks. Rhadyn tilts his head back and guzzles down a horn of Dwarven challenger's stout! Whoa, someone better tell him to slow down! You say, "One should never forget that." Ezerak says to Gwenddolyn, "I could sense my thoughts reaching Ayrell, but could not hear her reply." Unaka says, "I didn't say love each other. I said Truffenyi loves us." Ezathiel takes a sip of his lemonade. Elore beams at Avrenka! Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Nilme nods to you. Avrenka nods to Elore. Sliyder grins at Unaka. Ezathiel takes a sip of his lemonade. Unaka says, "But seems like a good idea to love each other, too." Elurora slowly says to Unaka, "I am inclinded to trust you if that means anything." Rhadyn gruffly says to Unaka, "Good." Elurora shrugs. Ezathiel wipes his mouth. Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Imroth nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Tirost nods to Unaka. Leilanie smiles at Unaka. You grin at Unaka. Unaka nods to Elurora. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Ezathiel casually observes the area. Gwenddolyn asks, "Could any familiars seem them?" Shavay says, "I think Truffenyi is only tolerant of me." You nod to Elurora. Anuril appears to be trying hard not to grin. Tirost leans on Crobin. Unaka says, "If it helps I've got this soul thing." Gwenddolyn says, "See them." Ezerak nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Harsh quietly says, "They all try but i make it very very difficult sometimes." Rhadyn glances at Unaka and tugs his beard nervously as sweat breaks out on his brow. He looks like he would prefer it if Unaka was a block of stone. You giggle at Shavay. Unaka gets a white-streaked soulstone surrounded by a cage of niello chains from inside her thick satchel. Harsh nods. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Witterwell giggles. Unaka rubs her soulstone, which gleams brightly with a pristine luminescence! Valynn nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Ryeka grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Unaka puts her soulstone in her thick satchel. Witterwell melodiously says, "Soul things are good." Witterwell nods emphatically. Imroth says, "I have a tendency to trust Truffenyi, and Paladins." Elurora looks at Imroth, obviously trying not to grin. Unaka nods to Imroth. Vaerek says to Gwenddolyn, "Maybe only the tiniest of familiars could find them." Harsh ponders. Vaerek looks at Gwenddolyn and shrugs. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Chrysaor softly says, "Bad choices..." Khearkrash asks Unaka, "And you are sure it comes from Truffenyi and not an imposter taking advantage of the dire straits we face?" Valynn grins at Imroth. Lexxa takes a sip of her lemonade. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Harsh quietly says, "Ok so now how does any of this get us closer to finding our missing." Severei says, "At this rate, I don't think anything but divine intervention is going to fix anything. We don't know how to repair something so...metaphysical." Shavay says to Imroth, "You also have a head wound, so your judgement may be affected." Chrysaor rubs a series of niniam and silversteel rings decorated with viperscale alexandrites. Unaka fixes Khearkrash with a heavy, ponderous stare. Harsh squints. Aaiyaah takes off a pilgrim's badge. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Forest Watcher Damoone just arrived. Elurora leans on Illiya. Nawain takes a sip of her whiskey. Elurora takes a bite of the strawberries. Tirost nods to Damoone. You say to Severei, "That is how I have been feeling lately as well." Harsh sighs. Imroth chuckles at Shavay. Ryeka takes a bite of the chicken. Gwenddolyn says, "They are likely in a place that is nowhere, which could be anywhere." You nod to Severei. Severei nods to you. Illiya leans over and scratches Elurora's back. Witterwell melodiously exclaims, "Wait if we need more love, lets ask Saemaus!!" Nawain nods to Maintain. Kethrai says, "We have two problems right now." Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Unaka says to Khearkrash, "I suppose I would say, not a whole lot of way for me to know for sure. If there's something out there that could impersonate an Immortal... yeah, I guess it could happen. But this sure felt like Truffenyi." Crobin gives Damoone a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles. Witterwell bounces around happily. Damoone hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Damoone with a warm smile. Kethrai says, "One is the danger of destruction from wild magic, the other is our missing people." Khearkrash nods to Unaka. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "And not just like a little bit. Like a LOT. He was there ten times over." Chrysaor inspects his wildling spider icon. You nod to Kethrai. Elurora says to Khearkrash, "Seeing as he gave her the ability to cast Cleric spells and the gift of language, it does point toward a God." Gwenddolyn says, "If everyone would stop using sorcery long enough, it may make a difference." Avrenka asks, "I have a question for everyone here: Has anyone who casts Sorcery spells still ever gotten a Mana Vortex arise from casting a Sorcery spell?" Miraeven quietly asks, "Was it not at one point proper etiquette to remove disruptive attire and cease training, during public affairs?" Leilanie nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views. Miraeven raises an eyebrow. Harsh quietly says, "Not that ive noticed." Harsh shakes his head at Avrenka. Madigan asks Unaka, "Do you have information that can lead to us finding our people and bringing them home?" Avrenka says, "Fascinating..." Khearkrash asks Unaka, "If you trust it was, then it probably was, what are we if not our conviction? right?" Illiya asks, "A mana vortex can come from any spell can't it?" Ryeka nods to Illiya. Nawain says to Miraeven, "Not for ages. Now everyone must be ready for everything, all the time. It's a dangerous would." Kethrai says to Miraeven, "Not as I've seen but that does sound wonderful." Avrenka asks Illiya, "I've noticed it come from regular spell casting ... does it also come from Sorcery spellcasting?" Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Unaka says to Madigan, "Sorry. That other guy, who lost his wife, wanted to know. I don't think I know anything useful. I'm here to help though, if you think of something for me to do." Chrysaor stands up. Ryeka says, "I've had a couple of them- and they were hmm- Uncomfortable." Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Tirost asks Unaka, "There was a vision clerics experienced when we held a vigil to Meraud. Have you heard of it?" Crobin says, "Saragos was his name." Crobin nods to Unaka. Unaka nods to Crobin. Ryeka nods to Crobin. Madigan says, "Top notch. Thank you for the direct answer. I am gathering what paladins will join me to attempt some things. You are welcome to attend." Nawain takes a sip of her whiskey. Madigan nods to Unaka. Illiya says to Avrenka, "I think so? I suppose I never stopped to particularly observe that." Khearkrash says to Miraeven, "I would, but my armor stays on." Unaka says to Tirost, "Some people said they saw a vision of me at my clearing, tending to my lavender." Crobin says, "Can anyone come Madigan." Maintain says to Kethrai, "Formally, the Temple is against High Sorcery. One hopes that it is not necessary to explain the position on Necromancy. Truffenyi's words align with internal instruction." Crobin smiles. Harsh quietly says to Madigan, "If clerics would be of any use count me in please." Crobin says, "I promise to try and behave." Harsh smiles. Severei twitches an ear nervously. Madigan smiles at Harsh. Avrenka says to Illiya, "I haven't casted any sorcery spells since this whole thing started, so I wouldn't know, that's why I'm asking everyon ehere." Witterwell melodiously says, "Oooh lavender is pretty." Kethrai nods to Maintain. Witterwell nods emphatically. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Tirost asks Unaka, "Did that mean anything to you?" Ryeka gets a sprig of lavender from inside her spidersilk backpack. Ryeka offers Witterwell a sprig of lavender. Witterwell beams at Ryeka! Witterwell accepts Ryeka's sprig of lavender. Witterwell melodiously says, "Thank you." Madigan says, "Thank you both for your offer. The Bulwark is a paladin problem, I believe. I think we need to do it on our own if we can." Witterwell just hugged Ryeka. Ryeka beams at Witterwell! Witterwell snuggles a sprig of lavender in her arms. Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Unaka says to Tirost, "Well that was right before the great big ox head came out of the sky, so yeah." Ryeka just hugged Witterwell. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Witterwell giggles. Madigan says, "Or, at least try that way." Madigan ponders. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Witterwell sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Chrysaor nods to Madigan. Gwenddolyn says, "Finding them may not be possible until they are tried for the crime they were imprisoned for. My concern is the changes in magic created issues with sorcery they were unaware existed." Unaka nods to Madigan. Madigan says, "Presently, we are tossing stuff against walls to see if something sticks." Maintain says, "Informally...if the gods are silent, individual priests are largely left to their own practice." Ezerak raises an eyebrow in Gwenddolyn's direction. Crobin says, "As you see fit...but if you could not look into the shadows while you are there...that would be great." Casari asks Gwenddolyn, "Are you suggesting Ayrell is a sorcerer now?" Madigan says, "So...I'll toss something against a wall." Madigan grins. Madigan puts his coffee in his traveler's pack. Tirost asks Unaka, "Can you tell us about what happened after the big ox came out of the sky?" Nawain chuckles at Crobin. Khearkrash says to Madigan, "I have an idea, but you might not like it." Gwenddolyn says, "Not I, whomever imprisoned them is." Ezerak quietly says to Gwenddolyn, "I will only ask you once to never repeat that accusation again." Gwenddolyn frowns at Casari. Unaka says to Tirost, "I told some other people already, so sure, if they don't mind hearing it again." Severei says, "We don't know how time works where they are, they could be there for an eternity for all we know." Imroth bows his head and chants a prayer. Madigan says to Khearkrash, "I especially love ideas that I will not like." Anuril nods to Unaka. Madigan smiles at Khearkrash. Shavay asks, "There were some impressive feats of lumberjacking?" Kethrai nods to Unaka. Damoone searches around for a moment. Gwenddolyn says, "I am not at fault here." Illiya says to Unaka, "I would like to hear it as well." Unaka says, "But seems like everyone's talking at once, maybe I should wait." You rub your head. Unaka rubs a necklace of cambrinth beads. Elurora says, "Perhaps we could all be quiet for a minute and let her talk." Witterwell covers her mouth with her hand. Elurora gestures at Unaka. Valynn holds a finger up to her lips. Kethrai nods to Elurora. Casari nods. Unaka nods. Harsh quietly says, "Told you she could tell us and we'd get it. Neat trick." Khearkrash says to Madigan, "I will let her speak first." Harsh winks. Madigan nods to Khearkrash. Khearkrash nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "Okay, if you're ready." Aerilia folds her arms across her chest. Witterwell nods. You nod to Unaka. Aerilia nods to Unaka. Ezerak says to Unaka, "My apologies. Please, continue." Tirost says to Unaka, "We are spirited folk, who love those who have been taken. We are listening." Valynn gazes at Unaka. Nawain observes Unaka with fascination. Unaka says, "So I was sitting at my clearing, tending my fire and tending to my lavender. It's been looking a little poor lately, and I like to care for things like that sometimes." Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Maintain nods politely to a black dog. Elurora smiles at Unaka. Tirost stares intently at a black dog for a moment. Ezathiel gazes at Unaka. Severei nods politely to Unaka. Witterwell tilts her head inquisitively. Aaiyaah ponders. Tirost pets the black dog. Harsh blinks. Unaka says, "I'm usually way out there in the wilderness, hunting game and protecting the Clan." Tirost nods to Unaka. Aaiyaah asks, "Anyone ...hearing ringing?" Ryeka nods to Aaiyaah. Casari says, "That was my spell wearing off." Aaiyaah nods. Unaka asks, "So I was sitting there and all of a sudden, it was like -- have you ever had about ten jugs of liquor in one night and it all hits you all at once?" You try hard not to grin. Witterwell nods emphatically at Unaka. Anuril appears to be trying hard not to grin. Maintain chuckles. Ezathiel chuckles at Unaka. Elore holds up her hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture. Witterwell grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Ryeka grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Unaka says, "Like WHOOSH." Aerilia chuckles. Leilanie smiles. Gwenddolyn ponders. Observer Amailia just arrived. Crobin says, "Those are the good nights." Ezathiel raises an eyebrow. Aaiyaah grins at Nawain. Valynn grins. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Nawain grins at Aaiyaah. Maintain offers Nawain a cylindrical snifter of Rayner's esturi-infused rum. Unaka says, "And there he was, this great big old ox head coming out of the sky. Only he was also my dad." Unaka rubs her head. Rhadyn quietly says, "Shhhh." Tirost nods to Crobin. Witterwell grins impishly. Nawain accepts Maintain's esturi-infused rum. Ryeka blinks. Unaka says, "And his voice was a regular voice but also like it was so loud I could see it." Gwenddolyn ponders. Elore says to Ezathiel, "Quietly That's a lot of jugs..." Ezathiel squints at Unaka. Elore grins stupidly. Elurora cocks her head at Unaka. Nawain takes a sip of her rum. Leilanie smiles at Unaka. Ezerak chuckles. Unaka says, "And sometimes there was maybe a weasel there, and sometimes he looked real old. Anyway." Vaerek strides west. Elurora furrows her brow. Witterwell sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Valynn tilts her head, clearly curious about something. Tirost gazes at Unaka. You blink at Unaka. Vaerek just arrived. Leilanie ponders. Unaka says, "He gave me a message, and I remember it, but not so sure exactly how he told it to me." Illiya gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Nawain takes a sip of her rum. Nawain nods to Maintain. Shavay casually observes the area. Unaka says, "His message is that he loves you. Loves all of us. He wants civilization to live." Illiya takes a sip of her lemonade. Unaka seriously says, "And we might not." Aerilia frowns. Elurora frowns thoughtfully. Ryeka frowns. Witterwell tilts her head to one side. You trill softly to yourself. Damoone frets. Shavay whispers something to Nilme. Severei twitches an ear nervously. Valynn gazes down at the floor. Rhadyn shakes his head as if clearing it. Crobin says, "Going to go out stabbing." Unaka says, "He wants me to come protect you. Gave me a few abilities to help with that I think." Aaiyaah gets an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from inside his silk backpack. Valynn frets. Nilme nods to Shavay. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his reserve. Shavay tips his cavalier hat. Witterwell melodiously says, "Oh that's good news." Shavay hugs Nilme, who wraps her arms around Shavay with a warm smile. Witterwell nods emphatically. Tirost nods to Unaka. Shavay goes west. Casari asks Unaka, "Can you talk more about the weasel part?" Imroth peers quizzically at Unaka. Avrenka dryly says, "Summong a beer really helps with protecting us." Rhadyn softly says, "A message from the All Father... ox or not." Unaka says, "And he also said not to trust just anyone who comes by claiming to have wisdom." Madigan praises Unaka. Harsh gazes at Avrenka. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Unaka says to Casari, "Just kinda flitted around his feet I think." JHarsh raises his hand in an imaginary toast. Ezathiel winks at Lexxa. Illiya asks Unaka, "Um wouldn't that include you too though?" Harsh offers Avrenka a shot of Black Road whiskey. Harsh smiles. Harsh pats Avrenka on the back. Unaka looks at Illiya and shrugs. Kethrai quietly says to Casari, "A weasel and a grandfather, probably seeing Huldah and Alamhif alongside Truffenyi." Casari asks Unaka, "Was there perhaps also a magpie?" Avrenka says to Harsh, "I don't drink, thanks." Casari gives Kethrai a slight nod. Unaka says to Illiya, "That makes sense to me. Not sure how else he'd warn you though." Witterwell melodiously says to Harsh, "I do." Witterwell grins at Harsh, her dimples flashing into view. Harsh offers Witterwell a shot of Black Road whiskey. Witterwell accepts Harsh's Black Road whiskey. Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Illiya ponders. Harsh gives Witterwell a smooch. Tirost nods to Madigan. Witterwell beams at Harsh! Witterwell gasps and chokes as her face takes on a bright reddish hue! Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Witterwell casually runs the tip of her tongue over the point of one of her loveglass fangs, somehow managing to appear both threatening and seductive at the same time. Crobin sighs. Unaka says, "Yeah, there was probably a magpie in there too. It's kinda like looking into soup and trying to see the ingredients." Vaerek laughs! Maintain whispers something to Madigan. Tirost smiles at Aerilia. Nawain takes a sip of her rum. Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Casari grins. Ryeka chuckles. Elurora chuckles. Anuril snorts, loudly. Witterwell melodiously says, "Oh that's when you hit the 12th jug." Witterwell nods emphatically. Leilanie takes a sip of her lemonade. Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Khearkrash says to Unaka, "I have a question." Kethrai asks, "Well, he's also given Unaka some abilities, maybe to help prove the story?" Rejind nods to Kethrai. Madigan nods to Aaiyaah. Unaka says, "Oh yeah, I can show you." Madigan nods to Maintain. Severei angles her ears forward in curiosity. Lexxa narrows her eyes. Vaerek asks Unaka, "Not to be rude but do you know the weather guy perchance?" Illiya observes Unaka with fascination. Unaka says to Khearkrash in Rakash, "He told me I should speak to everyone, so I think he wanted me to be able to." Witterwell sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Rhadyn gruffly says, "I'd say it was more like pie than soup... a bit of ox pie." Ryeka blinks. Severei gasps! Unaka says to Vaerek in Gerenshuge, "Don't know a weather guy." You smile at Unaka. Illiya closes her eyes for a moment and grows still. Vaerek nods to Unaka. Unaka says to Rhadyn in Haakish, "Ooh, you're making me hungry again." Unaka flashes a wide grin. Illiya takes a sip of her lemonade. Ezathiel glances at Unaka. Unaka gets a slice of honey-glazed chicken from inside her thick satchel. Elurora chortles softly at some secret joke. Nawain chuckles. Crobin nods to Rhadyn. Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. Aerilia smiles. Leilanie smiles. Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples. Nawain takes a sip of her rum. Gwenddolyn says, "I understand all languages so yes, extraordinary." Tirost smiles at Rhadyn. Rejind asks Unaka, "Also, you can cast both Cleric and Paladin magic, yes? All forms of Holy?" Witterwell melodiously says to Unaka, "I think you're kinda my new hero." Khearkrash says to Unaka, "Did you not find it odd that Truffenyi was so forthcoming that he loves." Maintain whispers something to Nawain. Khearkrash waves his hand distractedly. Unaka loudly says to Aaiyaah, "What? Didn't hear that." Crobin says, "I understand all language, but can't speak them." Khearkrash says, "People." Casari says, "If anyone is unsure why they can understand, it's because I cast Aura of Tongues on you all. But you'll find you can't speak all of the languages without aid of a device, unlike Unaka." Ezathiel pleasantly asks Unaka in Gerenshuge, "Oh you know the elothean tongue?" Unaka says, "Yeah, I can cast some Cleric spells. Not all I don't think, but a lot." Sliyder nods to Casari. Unaka nods to Ezathiel. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Sliyder shifts his weight. Maintain chuckles at Khearkrash. Aaiyaah asks, "Unaka, this is purely a thought. If you were given the ability to understand all language....do you think it is possible you could understand messages from other planes? A way for us to communicate with our friends?" Ezathiel smiles at Unaka. Crobin smiles at Ezathiel. Unaka gestures. A glowing aura surrounds Unaka. Severei stands up. Unaka looks at Aaiyaah and shrugs. Madigan asks, "And, you are here to fight with us?" Madigan raises an eyebrow in Unaka's direction. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "I haven't tried it. Point me that way." Crobin says, "So so far we have like three people all coming in and saying not to trust everyone who has wisdom." Crobin says, "Helpful." Nawain chuckles. Elurora says, "She is here to help protect us, that is different." Gwenddolyn says, "Great question." Rejind says to Crobin, "But only one wields all forms of Holy magic." Imroth grins at Crobin. Gwenddolyn nods to Aaiyaah. Avrenka raises his palms skyward, chanting. Kethrai nods at Rejind, obviously agreeing with his views. Unaka asks Madigan, "Depends. Do you mean like tussle after a few beers fight or stand against the darkness and fight?" Illiya asks Crobin, "Also while spouting their own ideas right?" Tirost nods to Rejind. Unaka says, "Because both." Crobin nods to Illiya. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Madigan. Witterwell lets out a hearty cheer for Unaka! Aerilia says, "Unaka remains the only one to offer up a shred of proof, though." Aerilia nods. Crobin asks, "Okay so are you saying to trust Holy Magic then?" Tirost says to Rejind, "That is an insightful point, I think." Leilanie grins. Madigan says to Unaka, "Ohh, I mean the later. Very much so guildsister." Aaiyaah asks, "Folks, if Unaka was to serve as our translator to communicate with those taken, where would we need to take her to communicate with them?" Witterwell melodiously says, "Totally my new hero." Avrenka asks Unaka, "Can you speak Shadowling?" Illiya asks Casari, "Can anyone who has a device speak all the languages?" Khearkrash asks Maintain, "Am I wrong? doesnt the temple portray him as more of a stern, merciful, type? less loving like Alamhif?" Unaka looks at Avrenka and shrugs. You quietly say to Elurora, "Also she knows that chicken is food, not rope. Seems like a good start to me." Avrenka grins at Unaka. Rhadyn gruffly asks, "What shread of proof?" Rhadyn ponders. Unaka says, "Things getting fast. I like to go a bit slower." Casari says to Illiya, "The devices I've seen, they can, yes." Vaerek says, "To the plane." Elurora nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Leilanie nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Kethrai says to Aaiyaah, "They were taken from Arhat's Tower, but we can't hear them from there." Reriyn looks over Unaka very closely. Gwenddolyn asks, "To where all planes converge?" Elurora says to you, "Not that test I thought we'd be using but here it is." Illiya looks over Unaka very closely. Kethrai says, "Saragos has certainly be trying." Ezerak says to Illiya, "Sometimes they need some potency crystals added, though." Lexxa says, "Well maybe she can." You give Elurora a wry grin. Gwenddolyn says, "So it reaches all planes." Vaerek nods. Avrenka asks, "Isn't there a place where that's close to the Plane of Electricity?" Nilme grins at Elurora. Illiya flashes a quick grin at Ezerak. Maintain says to Khearkrash, "This monk's personal experiences may shade his opinions a bit, but he is normally considered 'fatherly,' if not necessarily loving. Perhaps he also conveys his feelings with actions, like other fathers." Gwenddolyn says, "We really need miskton for that." Gwenddolyn mutters to herself. Avrenka asks, "Or ... perhaps we'll find somethign at the Astral Observatories?" Vaerek says, "I only have one left." Crobin asks, "Have one what?" Unaka says to Khearkrash, "I think I got a pretty good look at him. He's stern, yeah, but his message was that he loves us. He's a dad but he does the stern stuff out of love." Damoone just arrived. Illiya asks Unaka, "Well.. how do we know that was a gift from Truffenyi and you don't just have a special device to speak languages?" Khearkrash nods to Maintain. Unaka asks Illiya, "Uhhh. There are devices that do that?" Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. Aaiyaah nods. Maintain glances at Unaka. Gwenddolyn rummages about her person, looking for something. Reriyn says, "We could make her strip." Reriyn shrugs. Leilanie says, "I would love to see the extent of your ability with holy magic. Although, I know its all new to you." You frown. Aerilia frowns. Tirost asks Unaka, "I am sorry. We are worried, wich makes us speak quickly. Is there anything else you feel you should share with us?" Avrenka peers quizzically at Reriyn. Unaka asks, "Sounds neat. Do they cast all the Cleric spells too?" Sliyder pokes Reriyn in the ribs. The storm-grey lynx growls, "Remember, if you can communicate with those missing, it is likely that They will be listening. Be careful." The shadowling mumbles, "Ta leebihoo roolo roo leenoo ta." Unaka frowns. Reriyn says to Avrenka, "Cant use devices if you dont have anything on you." Maintain says to Khearkrash, "Sending a big sister to help is a bit on the nose, though, this monk thinks." Gwenddolyn taps something inside her forging kit. Vaerek says, "I would need to make more of the rings." Unaka nods to Maintain. Vaerek says, "Only one won't help." Crobin says, "I think I may go back to mocking those who took them." Rhadyn gruffly says, "I'm gonna head home but I'll say, "Buyer beware". And you all are the buyers." Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Maintain says to Unaka, "This one intends no offense, of course." Madigan grins at Crobin. Nawain grins at Crobin. Rhadyn gruffly says, "Peace." Avrenka says to Reriyn, "Unless the device was surgically implanted in the body." Unaka says to Tirost, "I think I said most of it. Oh, might like to help with this Bulwark thing too." Ale Beard Rhadyn stomps west. Reriyn nods to Avrenka. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Madigan nods to Unaka. Reriyn says, "Unless that." Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Illiya says to Unaka, "Well no.. but I suppose I missed the part of you casting Cleric spells." Tirost nods to Unaka. Harsh yells, "And you are the beware pal, two can play this game." Khearkrash says to Unaka, "Please forgive my questions, I am not close with Truffenyi." Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Avrenka grins at Harsh. Kethrai giggles at Harsh. Unaka gestures at Illiya. A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Illiya's body. You chortle at Harsh. Severei takes a sip of her lemonade. Tirost says to Unaka, "I hope you will join Sir Madigan in his efforts, and thank you for all you have said. You bring us great hope." Unaka says to Illiya, "Bless you." Unaka flashes a wide grin at Illiya. Reriyn ponders. Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Madigan says, "Well said Tirost." Witterwell melodiously exclaims to Unaka, "Oh Can I glow too?!" Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Illiya bobs a quick curtsy to Unaka. Witterwell bounces around happily. Crobin says, "I have learned if you taunt someone enough they normally come looking...it is more my way at times." Unaka nods to Tirost. Illiya says, "Ugh." Illiya says, "Right back." Strawberry Nurse Illiya goes west. Madigan says, "I believe I will head out now. Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts." Unaka gestures at Witterwell. A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Witterwell's body. Witterwell squeals! Witterwell melodiously exclaims, "Thank you!" Crobin waves to Madigan. Maintain says to Madigan, "The benefactor can, of course, call upon this lowly's monk assistance whenever he needs it." The black dog pads off. Kethrai bows to Madigan. Avrenka says, "Maybe I'm missing how this all fits together, but I really don't see how Unaka can help." Witterwell beams at Unaka! Madigan asks Khearkrash, "Mind stepping outside for your idea real quick?" Harsh nods to Madigan. Harsh smiles. Unaka asks Madigan, "Oh did you want to talk about that Bulwark thing?" Harsh offers a prayer to Eluned for safe journeys. Madigan bows to Maintain. Severei's tail undulates lazily through the air. Elurora says, "If she can help with the Bulwark, that could be what we need." Ezathiel whispers something to Elore. Maintain touches a hand to his mouth and offers a prayer for Madigan's continued safety and good fortune. Ezathiel looks at Elore and sighs. Elore laughs! Gwenddolyn nods to Unaka. Imroth nods in agreement. Madigan says, "Gads guildsister." Madigan grins at Unaka. Ezathiel chuckles at Elore. Khearkrash says to Madigan, "I was about to tell you." Unaka says, "Sorry, I know you said something about it before." Kethrai asks Unaka, "Is there something you learned about it from Truffenyi?" Madigan says, "Absolutely, let's talk about the Bulwark." Unaka says, "Lots going on, and I'm used to it being just me." Maintain says to Madigan, "Bul-wheel." You angle your ears forward in curiosity. Maintain coughs. Ezathiel softly says, "I wonder why more of the immortals did not send emmisaries like Unaka here." Vaerek asks Madigan, "What's at the Bulwark?" Valynn rubs Aaiyaah gently, massaging his muscles. Crobin asks, "I will say with all going on seems circles are the ways to talk anymore?" Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Nawain chuckles. Valynn grins at Aaiyaah. Kethrai says, "Maybe because Unaka was the only one sitting quietly in one place for any period of time." Unaka says, "Truffenyi didn't talk about the Bulwark, but I've seen it myself. Think most of us Paladins have seen how it's kinda shaking loose." Gwenddolyn says, "The commodore said the bulwark was stabilized by paladins soul state." Ezathiel nods to Kethrai. Madigan says to Vaerek, "Protective cell out there fueled by Paladin souls." Ezathiel pleasantly says to Kethrai, "Good point." Ryeka blinks at Unaka. Madigan gazes at Unaka. Khearkrash says to Madigan, "I think a way to repair the bulwark might lie somewhere between how we can use our favors as fuel for Alamhif's gift, and what the dark clerics can do." Unaka says, "I think it's been vibrating, kinda. Like the foundation around it's getting damaged." Elurora slowly says, "The Bulwark is like a large shield that helps protect our Plane. It has been said it is cracked like glass or shaken because of lopsided magic practices." Witterwell tilts her head to one side. Severei's tail undulates lazily through the air. You scrunch your forehead together and furrow your brow. Strawberry Nurse Illiya just arrived. Maintain asks Gwenddolyn, "Implying that providing the benefactors with ways to salve their soul could help?" Unaka says, "Maybe like something big is trying to shake it around? I don't know." Kethrai ponders. You notice as a black dog pads into the room. The black dog begins to watch the goings on carefully. Elurora nods to Unaka. Nawain nods to Illiya. Tirost nods to Unaka. Gwenddolyn says, "The commodore said it is cracking because of sorcery." Nawain gnaws on her lip. Madigan quietly says, "Bloody......that doesn't sound good Unaka...shaking..we also heard like shatterd glass." Unaka nods to Madigan. Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Unaka asks, "You all have an idea about how to fix it?" Illiya nods to Nawain. Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. Imroth shakes his head. Ryeka ponders. Ezathiel whispers something to Elore. Madigan says, "No bloody idea at all." Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Ryeka shakes her head. Gwenddolyn says, "He told us to get them to cease sorcery." Ryeka says, "Not quite." Harsh quietly says, "What would cause it to shake." Illiya asks Unaka, "Is it something related to Paladin souls?" Imroth asks, "Lavender?" Crobin says, "Poking something with a stick long enough something will happen." Madigan says, "But, we are going to get together and harness some magic and get our souls right." Aaiyaah says, "Just ready and willing to do whatever we can as Paladins to help fix it." Elurora says, "I think if we could get enough Paladins together, and somehow focus our souls to the task, perhaps we could do something." Madigan nods to Unaka. Harsh quietly says, "And how to stop that cause." Kethrai says, "It also seems like any fix would just get broken again if we don't stop what's causing the damage." Unaka nods to Illiya. Kethrai nods to Harsh. Unaka says to Illiya, "Yeah. Sorry. Paladins know about it." Maintain says, "One man's sorcery is not one another's High Sorcery working. Or even Low Sorcery, for that matter." Madigan nods to Aaiyaah. Nawain says, "Build a better Bulwark. Whatever that means. More flexible, less... glass-like. Maybe not just made of Paladin parts, either. There's lots of us invested in keeping this Plane safe." Maintain folds his arms across his chest. Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Madigan asks Unaka, "Any suggestions?" Madigan gets some Kygar's roast coffee from inside his traveler's pack. Illiya grins at Nawain, her dimples flashing into view. Leilanie takes a sip of her lemonade. Unaka fixes Madigan with a heavy, ponderous stare. Valynn ponders. Madigan says, "Because, as you can tell...we are all running around in circles chasing our tails presently." Madigan makes a grunting noise. Ezathiel smiles at Elore. Harsh quietly says, "Circles." Harsh quietly says, "Always circles." Maintain frowns at Madigan. Harsh sighs. Unaka says, "Hmmm. I don't know. But I want to help, if you think that's what Truffenyi was talking about." Elurora quietly says, "Perhaps we need a focus of some kind..." Sliyder spins around! Elurora gazes off into the distance. Kethrai says to Madigan, "I'll let that one pass." Mazilyn gets an iladza symbol from inside her white backpack. Ezathiel whispers something to Elore. Your ears droop for a moment. Kethrai tilts his ears forward playfully. Avrenka asks, "I am not so familiar with Cleric spells ... anyone have an idea why a Paladin should receive Cleric spells to help us in this situation?" Mazilyn raises her iladza symbol in a reverent manner. You see a quick flash in Mazilyn's hands and realize her iladza symbol is gone. Khearkrash says, "I have a base idea." You nod in agreement. Ryeka bows her head and chants a prayer. Madigan nods to Unaka. Crobin asks, "Can anyone find this...bulwark?" Maintain says to Madigan, "This humble monks reminds the benefactor that is often his normal state of being." You angle your ears forward, gazing curiously at Khearkrash. Unaka loudly says to Tirost, "What? Couldn't hear." Crobin says, "Asking for a friend." Madigan says, "We welcome your help." Madigan grunts at Maintain. Mazilyn raises her iladza symbol in a reverent manner. Witterwell sniffs at a sprig of lavender. Sliyder asks, "Where is it?" Madigan says to Maintain, "We try to give an appearance of organization sir." Severei's lips twitch slightly as she utters a brief, curious trill. Madigan asks Khearkrash, "You had an idea sir?" Tirost asks Unaka, "Forgive me for adding to the many voices trying to reach you, but why were you clearing the brambles around a lavender, before the vision came to you?" Harsh grins. Nawain casually observes the area. Nawain frets. Maintain says to Madigan, "Fortunately, the monastery imposes no such indignity upon us brothers and sisters." Unaka says, "Oh. I liked that one. It looked wilted, a little sad and weak. I thought I could help." Khearkrash asks, "So with, Alamhifs gift, we can convert our favors into fuel to replenish others from the sting of death, right? or our soul pool?" Maintain winks. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Ryeka smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Witterwell snuggles a sprig of lavender in her arms. Madigan nods to Khearkrash. Tirost asks Unaka, "You wanted to help something that was weak grow strong?" Severei veneratively raises her hands toward the ceiling, rocking from side to side, lost in prayer. Khearkrash asks, "What if we could manage a large scale gift?" Unaka nods to Tirost. Unaka says, "That's kinda my job." Tirost smiles. Tirost glances at Madigan. Harsh quietly says, "The bulwark sounds like." Nawain gnaws on her lip. Nawain takes a sip of her rum. Valynn nods to Madigan. Harsh quietly says, "Get this one to touch it perhaps, or commune with it somehow." Harsh nods to Madigan. Harsh smiles. Harsh gazes upward. Unaka says, "I don't know exactly what to do, but I know I'm here to do it." Unaka flashes a wide grin. Elurora flashes a quick grin at Unaka. Madigan gazes at Unaka. Khearkrash asks, "Drain ourselves of divine power, not everyone, but some, in the way dark clerics can sacrifice someone to drain favor with the gods, just a large scale infusion of the gift?" Crobin brushes the surface of his bone amulet and begins to reel! He clutches his head in pain! Kethrai says, "I don't think the Bulwark is in any... physical location, really? Like, it's everywhere -- in the direction of between us and the Void." Aaiyaah says, "Well, you will not be alone when you do Unaka." Kethrai says, "It's just slightly Voidwise." Maintain says, "The Bulwark is a metamagical construct, isn't it? Touching it would be...well. This monk should not intrude upon the affairs of Paladins to speculate, one supposes." Unaka beams at Aaiyaah! Madigan nods to Tirost. Harsh nods. Witterwell melodiously exclaims to Unaka, "I'll craft a long winded song about your heroic exploits!" Sliyder asks, "Spirit heal?" Ezathiel looks at Lexxa and shrugs. Severei rubs her head. Valynn smiles at Aaiyaah. Lexxa begins chortling at Ezathiel. Madigan says, "Unaka, I believe we need to get you to the Bulwark somehow...to make something weak...strong." Madigan squints at Unaka. Unaka rests a friendly hand on Aaiyaah's shoulder, looking down at him. Ryeka says, "It might be worth a try." Tirost nods to Madigan. Sliyder nods to Tirost. Ryeka nods to Sliyder. Madigan says, "And...Khear...that is a bloody brilliant idea." Harsh nods to Madigan. Madigan nods to Khearkrash. Ezathiel whispers something to Lexxa. Unaka nods to Madigan. Anuril moves a glass of red wine to his left hand. Elurora slowly asks Unaka, "You said you were called to the altar, do you think that was just to meet us or that it may be where we want to gather for whatever we try?" Ezathiel nods to Lexxa. Unaka says, "I think it was because Truffenyi cares about civilization. I think the center is where you go when you're trying to protect... everything." Elurora gives Unaka a slight nod. Vaerek offers Madigan a copper ring. Avrenka says, "She did say it was the center of everything." Vaerek says, "I thought we tried this." Tirost nods to Unaka. Maintain says to Khearkrash, "Sacrificing someone is not done lightly. Even if the Immortal chooses to accept the working -- no guarantee there -- the commoners will be outraged." Harsh nods. Vaerek says to Madigan, "Raise it." Ezathiel whispers something to Lexxa. Kethrai asks Madigan, "Khoheke didn't seem to know how to get back to the Bulwark, but he suggested contacting Tallis who might?" Khearkrash says, "If it doesnt work, it should at least get the immortals attention." Avrenka says, "Maybe Truffenyi's altar is where we're supposed to strengthen the Bulwark." Gwenddolyn nods to Kethrai. Harsh quietly says, "Commoners are always angry at me anyhow." Harsh shrugs. Lexxa gives Ezathiel a slight nod. Gwenddolyn says, "He did say to contact tallis." Madigan offers Vaerek a copper ring. Maintain pats Harsh on the back. Sliyder nods to Avrenka. Elurora says to Avrenka, "That was my thought." Casari asks, "Do I remember right that the Temple had a big weapon made up of all the manas?" Severei slowly squares her shoulders and crosses her wrists over her chest. "May Tenemlor's timeless blessing guide and protect those she has ensouled," she chants, appearing more focused. Khearkrash says to Harsh, "Yes harsh, blood for Aldauth." Casari asks, "Or was it just charged with any mana, filtered through a neutral pattern?" You ask, "The orb?" Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. You nibble your lip thoughtfully. Crobin folds his arms across his chest. Madigan nods to Vaerek. Kethrai says to Casari, "Yes, but it hasn't worked in decades." Unaka says, "This food is good." Ezerak nods to Casari. Illiya smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Ezerak says to Casari, "One of those two things." Ezerak chuckles. Aaiyaah says, "Perhaps Unaka is supposed to serve as some conduit of Paladin's focused souls for the bulwark. I certainly hope it would not somehow burn our your own, Unaka." Sliyder snickers at Unaka. Elore leaps to her feet! Elurora frowns at Aaiyaah. Madigan grins at Vaerek. You trill softly, ears relaxing minutely against your head. Madigan pats Vaerek on the back. Maintain nods at Aaiyaah, obviously agreeing with his views. Kethrai glances at Aaiyaah. Unaka frowns. Elurora quietly says to Aaiyaah, "I had that thought as well, but it felt bad to say it." Witterwell melodiously says, "Aww... no more holy sparkle." Elurora glances at Unaka. Valynn frets. Maintain says to Aaiyaah, "Although she has mentioned that Truffenyi sent her to help, not to become a fulcrum." Unaka says, "I'd rather not burn to a crisp, if we can avoid that. But then, Truffenyi seems like he'll take care of me." (Kethrai seems poised to say something, but doesn't.) Vaerek chuckles at Crobin. Casari smiles at Unaka. Madigan grins at Unaka. Crobin asks, "SOmething on your mind Keth?" Rejind says, "If the Bulwark is under assault, strengthening it will only be a temporary solution, as it won't stop the attack." Nawain glances at Kethrai. Kethrai shakes his head. Witterwell puts her lavender in her opera cloak. Madigan asks, "We don't either...but how to we find the bloody Bulwark?" Unaka says, "He didn't say to help with the Bulwark specifically. But I'm here to listen to all of you." Harsh quietly says, "I recall long ago awaking the statues at the high altar, for some task i was given. It involved candles." Harsh nods. Elore waves. Severei says, "Always with the candles." Severei nods. Harsh shrugs. Ezathiel waves to Elore. Avrenka nods to Elore. Nawain gets a tall silvery altar candle from inside her watersilk bag. (Nawain waggles her candle at Severei.) Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. Nawain puts her candle in her watersilk bag. Severei grins at Nawain. Maintain says to Rejind, "Extraplanar threats are largely beyond the purview of mortals. Even ones such as the benefactor. This monk's research into them is...quite extensive at this point." Maintain frowns. Illiya asks Unaka, "What do you think you are here to help with?" Gwenddolyn says, "It would seem logical if the bulwark is powered by paladin soul state that it would be the god of paladins altar." Maraisel just arrived. Gwenddolyn asks, "Chadatru?" Unaka says to Illiya, "I think he's worried about whoever is saying the other things. I think I'm here to help with that." Harsh quietly says, "There is the chapel in the keep to Chadatru." Harsh quietly says, "Or the altar here." Crobin nods to Madigan. Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Tirost gazes at Unaka. Unaka says, "Whatever is happening, we are all in danger." Nawain asks Unaka, "Do you have opinions about Sorcery?" Gwenddolyn says, "The book could be read contiuously to keep our soul state high." Severei says, "...could try all the altars." Rejind asks Maintain, "Indeed, but we must at least make the attempt, aye?" Khearkrash says, "I wouldnt assume that the bulwark and the 39 are linked in any way." Illiya says, "So she's a messenger perhaps." Khearkrash says, "But they can more than likely help." Avrenka says, "Well the confusing thing is ... you say Truffenyi is okay with regular cross-realm sorcery casting, but not with necromancy or high sorcery." Unaka says to Nawain, "Truffenyi does, I think. I got the sense that all the cross casting spells are okay, but the bigger nasty spells aren't." Severei nods to a sabretooth shadowling with mismatched eyes like Xibar and Yavash. Nawain nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "And no Necromancy." Crobin nods to Vaerek. Unaka shakes her head. Avrenka says, "Which kind of runs contrary to what the other 3 people have said." Aerilia nods. Nawain says, "Well, of course not." Nawain nods. Casari ponders. Maintain says to Rejind, "The benefactor may be correct. Reinforcing the Bulwark would only buy time, but it may buy enough time for the Immortals to resolve whatever attacks are underway." Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. Harsh quietly says to Avrenka, "At the same as tellin us to not listen to anybody." Casari asks, "What kind of magic do the Redeemed use? Is it holy?" Avrenka says, "2 of the others said no sorcery at all, and the other said all sorcery." Rejind nods to Maintain. Avrenka ponders. Nawain quietly says to Anuril, "Looks like we can still blame the necromancers." Nawain holds her hand out towards Anuril for a highfive. Anuril smiles at Nawain. Severei asks, "So I guess we're going back to burning the necromancers?" Anuril and Nawain highfive each other and follow it up with simultaneous finger snaps. Sassy! Elurora softly says, "Often the truth falls between two sides, that does seem to be what she brings us." Maintain snickers at Nawain. Aerilia says, "I'm more inclined to trust an Immortal over a Herald, any day of the month." Elurora glances at Unaka. Madigan says, "Almost like the enemy is trying to lead us astray in some fashion." Rejind says to Avrenka, "It could be there is not consensus, or that some were sent to mislead us." Unaka looks at Elurora and shrugs. Avrenka says, "If she really is from an Immortal." Crobin chuckles. Tirost says, "Of all the entities which seem to be attemting to influence us, the Immortals are the ones who have brought stability and peace to us, nature and our plane." Unaka gestures at Avrenka. A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Avrenka's body. Unaka says to Avrenka, "Bless you." Nawain gets an oceanic orichalcum orlog suspended from a braided kelpzyte chain from inside her mistglass phylactery. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Avrenka. Elurora chortles softly at some secret joke. Harsh grins. Illiya says, "It is very confusing when new people keep appearing and saying different things and telling us not to listen to the others." Nawain looks at her orlog and furrows her brow. Avrenka glances at Unaka. Nawain winces. Imroth says, "Well being aware of false directions is important." You nod at Tirost, in complete agreement with his views. Nawain puts her orlog in her mistglass phylactery. Maintain says to Madigan, "This unlearned monk believes those that oppose us are playing for time. Enough time lost will be their victory." Unaka nods to Illiya. Crobin nods to Illiya. Avrenka asks Unaka, "Where are you from Unaka? What province and village do you hail from?" Crobin says, "Like I said...circles." Unaka says, "I get that it's confusing. I'm not asking anybody to make any hasty decisions. I'll be here when you need me." Madigan nods to Unaka. Aerilia nods to Unaka. Unaka says to Avrenka, "Boar Clan." Madigan says, "Be at the paladin guild in two days." Avrenka gives a slight nod. Ryeka nods to Unaka. Madigan smiles at Unaka. (Crobin makes a mental note of two days) Anuril praises Unaka. Gwenddolyn asks, "Crossings paladin guild?" Madigan says, "Let's try to do some good, or blow something up." Unaka says, "I'll be there if I can. Don't know for sure. But good luck either way." Illiya says to Tirost, "This is the first that we've heard about Truffenyi taking any notice though." Tirost says to Unaka, "Thank you again for making the journey. Your news and presence are blessings in dark times." Madigan says, "Just so." Madigan nods to Unaka. Crobin says, "Listen if you are blwoing something up, I am going." Unaka nods to Tirost. Crobin says, "One way or another." Harsh quietly says, "GEt our people back regardless if blown up or fixed either." Illiya grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view. Harsh nods. Tirost nods to Illiya. Valynn looks at Crobin, obviously trying not to grin. Aaiyaah asks, "Well, wasnt Blasword the last paladin who really blew something up or was that someone else?" Aaiyaah ponders. Ryeka chuckles. Khearkrash raises his hand. Maintain says to Madigan, "This one would remind the benefactor that blowing things up indiscriminately got us here to begin with." Unaka asks, "Ooh. Can I be the next?" Gwenddolyn says, "It was blasward." Aaiyaah grins. Madigan says, "Blasword." Gwenddolyn nods to Aaiyaah. Valynn grins at Aaiyaah. Khearkrash says, "Present." Harsh quietly says, "I dunno Aaiyaah, who was in charge of the theren guard, when it blew up." Harsh gazes at Aaiyaah. Madigan says, "Khear, any chance you can repeat your stuff again? We all talked over you twice now sir." Nawain giggles at Khearkrash. Madigan smiles at Khearkrash. Harsh ducks his head. Aaiyaah grins at Harsh. Khearkrash says, "It is quite alright." Tirost says to Unaka, "If there is anything you need while you are in the Crossing, I hope you will not hesitate to ask us." Kethrai says to Unaka, "Thank you for talking with us and your offer of help." Aaiyaah just hugged Harsh. Harsh nods. Valynn grins at Harsh. Unaka says, "Sorry. I don't always hear everyone when you're talking at once." Avrenka asks Unaka, "Do you have any opinion on whether the Heralds are to be trusted or not?" Unaka nods to Kethrai. Unaka says to Tirost, "I could use more of this chicken." Unaka takes a bite of the chicken. Ezerak nods to Kethrai. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Maintain says to Unaka, "The benefactors get loud, it is one aspect of their charm." Lexxa grins at Unaka. Madigan grins at Maintain. Unaka nods at Maintain, obviously agreeing with his views. Ezerak says to Unaka, "Yes, thank you for sharing your abilities and vision." Khearkrash asks, "So, Alamhif's gift allows us to turn favor with the immortals into ffuel right?" You smile at Unaka. Ezathiel pleasantly says to Unaka, "Never fight evil on an empty stomach." Madigan nods to Khearkrash. Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "And thank you for not being a dragon." Maintain gets a generous snifter of Rayner's Rissan reserve whiskey from inside his encompassing shadows. Gwenddolyn says, "It was an honor to meet you." Gwenddolyn nods to Unaka. Harsh nods. Maintain offers Madigan a generous snifter of Rayner's Rissan reserve whiskey. Harsh smiles. Unaka says, "They are pretty nice, I've gotta admit." Madigan says, "We can burn our favor and bestow it, just so." Khearkrash says, "To ease deaths sting or fill a soul pool." Illiya says to Unaka, "Thank you." Unaka asks Khearkrash, "Did you say something?" Illiya bobs a quick curtsy to Unaka. Unaka nods to Illiya. Tirost says to Unaka, "I will not speak for her, but if you have not tasted the cusine of Allye Karayilma, you will be in for the best of surprises." Lexxa takes a sip of her lemonade. Valynn gazes at Khearkrash. You grin at Tirost. Nilme nods emphatically at Tirost. Khearkrash asks, "I'm wondering if we could do a large scale gifting ritual?" Unaka says, "Well it's gotta be better than camp food." Gwenddolyn nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Maintain offers Madigan a generous snifter of Rayner's Rissan reserve whiskey. Crobin raises his hand. Madigan accepts Maintain's Rayner's whiskey. Madigan bows to Maintain. Crobin smiles at Khearkrash. Madigan gets some Kygar's roast coffee from inside his traveler's pack. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Madigan moves a generous snifter of Rayner's Rissan reserve whiskey to his left hand. Madigan moves some Kygar's roast coffee to his right hand. Madigan puts his whiskey in his traveler's pack. Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. You say, "Next time, a chicken feast." Crobin asks, "Khear?" You smile. Imroth takes a bite of the bread.

Maintain says to Unaka, "When you sail the galleys, this is what you get." Khearkrash says, "In the way clerics can offer all of someones favor at once, if we could turn our favors into restorative fuel on a mass scale, it may buy time for the Bulwark." Maintain offers Unaka a M'Riss loaf. Nawain waves. Unaka accepts Maintain's M'Riss loaf. Nawain stands up. Unaka grins at Maintain. Nawain puts her hassock in her slender rugursora.

Damoone nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn peers quizzically at Khearkrash. Crobin says, "Just remember." Elurora softly says to Khearkrash, "We might also consider how glyph of light seems to pull forth part of our soul's power, if we could focus that somehow." Crobin says, "If you force to much of something into a vessel at once." Madigan says, "Those are both top notch thoughts." (Crobin makes a popping gesture) Madigan nods to Khearkrash. Madigan nods to Elurora. Illiya grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view. Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Crobin says, "You are speaking of doing a mass one." Illiya lays her hand on Crobin's arm. Aaiyaah says, "Thank you again Unaka and see you in two days." Aaiyaah grins at Unaka. Madigan says, "If we can get enough paladins together, maybe we can give it a decent shot." Aaiyaah throws back his shoulders, snapping to attention and with a sharp click of his heels, renders Unaka a crisp salute. Imroth says, "Reinforcing the Bulwark means nothing if we do not stop the cause of the destruction." Crobin says, "I would say unless you play it safe...you can push to much and bad things will happen." Aaiyaah says, "Take care folks, I must be off." Crobin just hugged Aaiyaah. Madigan snaps to attention and hails Aaiyaah with a crisp hand salute. Crobin smiles at Illiya.

Crobin says, "Madigan I have spoken of how I feel about things right now." Madigan nods to Vaerek. Unaka says to Avrenka, "Oh. I've never met a Herald before. Not heard much about them." Crobin says, "So I have put my two kronar out there to those who may listen." Witterwell melodiously exclaims to Avrenka, "Yep sure am. I am beloved of Saemaus!" Khearkrash says to Madigan, "I will request of the council with whatever graces I have left for research into the idea." Elurora cocks her head at Crobin. Avrenka says to Witterwell, "Well stop it. Stop hugging." Witterwell melodiously says, "So I hug people who are nice." The shadowling mumbles, "Tee go neetori." Crobin says, "With that I think it is time for me to retire here shortly...all this magic talk hurts my head." Witterwell melodiously says to Avrenka, "Mmmn... nope."

Elurora firmly says, "We will get them all back." Anuril quietly says, "5 andaen, 20 days." Unaka asks, "What's it look like?" Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Avrenka. Avrenka smiles. Illiya gazes hopefully at Elurora. Kethrai says, "Wish I could tell interesting things like that." Avrenka says, "Simple. Righteous." Kethrai looks over Unaka very closely. Witterwell melodiously says, "I really like the pauldrons. Those are cool." Unaka looks down at one of her hands, turning it over as if she might see something new. You ponder the meaning of Avrenka's existence. Witterwell melodiously says, "All big and spikey." Unaka flashes a wide grin at Witterwell. Witterwell grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Unaka says, "I enjoy a good spike." Witterwell melodiously says, "I just use a really big hammer." Unaka says, "Got one here too." Unaka puts her lavender in her thick satchel. Unaka gets a notched splitting maul with an ox horn attached to the head from inside her weapon harness. Witterwell flashes a wide grin at Unaka. Unaka pats a notched splitting maul with an ox horn attached to the head. Witterwell melodiously says, "Ooohh I like it." Unaka puts her maul in her weapon harness. Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Unaka says, "Also like hammers." Witterwell melodiously says, "This ones mine." Avrenka closes his eyes and grows still for a few long moments. Witterwell gazes at her mallet. Illiya says, "I like hammers too." Avrenka says, "What's a paladin without their hammer." Witterwell melodiously says, "It's my favorite." Illiya gets a drumstick-shaped throwing hammer wrapped with cambrinth bacon from inside her haversack. Rejind says, "More of a sharp-bladed person myself." Rejind nods. Lexxa asks, "Well I must pack up the food and rest, anyone want something last moment?" Illiya shows Unaka her throwing hammer. Elurora quietly says, "I'm rather fond of my scythe..." Witterwell melodiously says, "Holy... carp." Lexxa points at a rainbow silk picnic cloth ringed in rencate cupcake charms on the floor. Witterwell blinks at Illiya. Illiya pats a drumstick-shaped throwing hammer wrapped with cambrinth bacon. Unaka takes a bite of the cupcake. Witterwell melodiously exclaims, "That is the best hammer ever!" Illiya grins at Witterwell, her dimples flashing into view. Illiya exclaims to Witterwell, "Right?!" Unaka asks Illiya, "Is that... a hammer shaped like food?" Witterwell giggles at Illiya. Forest Sprite Lileath goes west. You chortle softly at some secret joke. Illiya says to Unaka, "It totally is." Rejind gets a steel double axe from inside his shimmering strip. Anuril takes a sip of his wine. Unaka holds her sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh. Witterwell melodiously says, "I'm really envious of that." Lexxa gathers up a blue checkered cloth and all the food it holds, stuffs the bundle into a silverwillow picnic basket, and closes the lid securely. Unaka says, "I love it." Rejind straps his double axe to a shimmering strip of faeweave dusted with sky opal faeries. Witterwell giggles. Shadow Tracker Sliyder just arrived. Lexxa smiles. Lexxa waves. Sliyder asks, "Can someone remind me how to clean an altar again?" Unaka says, "You all are something else. I can see why Truffenyi likes you." Casari smiles at Unaka. Rejind gets a silversteel longsword with a black diamond pommel from inside his canvas backpack. Avrenka chuckles. Avrenka asks, "Even me?" Rejind taps a silversteel longsword with a black diamond pommel that he is holding. You say, "You'll need holy water." You grin at Sliyder. Unaka nods to Avrenka. Rejind says, "This was one of my favorite gifts from a friend." Sliyder says, "I'd like to give the Truffenyi altar some love." Unaka exclaims to Avrenka, "Even you!" Casari says, "I can see why Truffenyi chose you." Avrenka smirks. You beam at Sliyder! Unaka smiles at Casari. Elurora smiles at Sliyder. Unaka says to Sliyder, "Oh, that's a good idea." Witterwell melodiously asks, "Think the altar likes hugs?" Witterwell ponders. Elurora grins at Witterwell. Unaka says, "Get some holy water and clean it with that. That's how I do it at home." Sliyder nods to Unaka. Sliyder says, "Anyone have some holy water? Heh." Unaka asks, "I guess I can bless the water now too, huh?" You get a chalice from inside your tapestry carpetbag. Rejind rummages about his person, looking for something. Sliyder says, "True." Illiya nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Sliyder nods to Unaka. You offer your strawberry lemonade to Sliyder, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Type CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer. Offer cancelled. Rejind nods to Unaka. Witterwell melodiously says, "Oooh yeah betcha you can." You offer your chalice to Sliyder, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Type CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer. Sliyder has accepted your offer and is now holding a chalice. Sliyder says, "Thank you." You nod to Sliyder. You say, "Of course." Elurora quietly says to you, "Sometimes I wonder if there's anything you don't have handy." You say, "A worthy cause, if ever there was one." Elurora gazes at you in awe. You grin at Elurora. Witterwell melodiously says, "The temple has a biiiiig basin on the second level." Witterwell melodiously says, "It's all full of holy water." Sliyder nods to Witterwell. You say to Elurora, "No chicken, surprisingly! But I will be better prepared next time." Elurora chortles softly at some secret joke. Shadow Tracker Sliyder goes west. Unaka says, "Oh yeah. Of course it must. All those minds and all that work into making the temple." Witterwell nods emphatically. Elurora looks at you and jots down some notes. Unaka asks, "Okay, I've gotta rest. Someone said something about a Half Pint?" Elurora nods to Unaka. Elurora asks, "Would you like helping finding it?" Witterwell melodiously says, "Elf said they'd throw me in it but I'd contaminate it with glitter." Elurora smiles at Unaka. Unaka nods to Elurora. Witterwell melodiously says, "Oh... Aw ok. It's nice there." Elurora asks Unaka to join her group, but Unaka declines. Avrenka says, "Just don't take the crystal room, unless you don't mind sharing a room with me." Elurora says, "I will happily walk you there if you wish." Unaka joins Elurora's group. Avrenka chuckles. Witterwell waves to Unaka. Elurora hugs you, and you give her a smile in return. Kethrai bows to Unaka. Elurora hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Elurora with a warm smile. You say, "I should be heading home myself. Take care, everyone." You hug Elurora who gives you a smile in return. A faint scent of honeysuckle clings to her skin. Severei waves. Elurora bows. Casari waves to Unaka. Kethrai hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return. Avrenka says, "Good night all." Illiya exclaims to Unaka, "Thanks for the information, and the company!" Unaka says, "I won't take the crystal one. Privacy is important." Avrenka waves. Elurora asks Unaka, "Are you ready?" Witterwell melodiously says, "Bye, I'll pray to Saemaus for you too! And write a song about your heroics." Witterwell nods. You say to Kethrai, "Thank you for stepping in so that we could all gather here today." Witterwell beams at Unaka! Unaka exclaims, "Um, first goodbyes. Goodbye everyone!" Elurora grins at Unaka. Elurora nods to Unaka. Severei says, "Bye bye." You wave to Unaka. Witterwell melodiously exclaims, "Bye be safe!" Kethrai says, "Safe paths." Casari exclaims, "Until next time, Unaka!" You say, "Goodbye." Illiya waves to Unaka. Witterwell grins, revealing her dimples. Anuril smiles. Unaka waves. Elurora waves. You put your lemonade in your tapestry carpetbag. Avrenka says, "Stars smile upon you." Kethrai says to you, "I figure I covered for Dantia enough in the past and she for me that it's almost the default." Truthseeker Elurora goes west, leading her group. You grin at Kethrai. Illiya gathers up a rainbow silk picnic cloth ringed in rencate cupcake charms and all the food it holds, stuffs the bundle into a whimsical moabi picnic basket bedecked with rencate cupcake charms, and closes the lid securely. Illiya puts her basket in her encompassing shadows. Illiya grins at Kethrai, her dimples flashing into view. Witterwell melodiously asks, "Anyone wanna hug before I run away?" Witterwell beams! Illiya says to Kethrai, "You always do a great job." Avrenka says, "No." Kethrai says, "Sure, why not." You say, "I hope that she and the others are returned safe, and soon." Witterwell hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Witterwell with a warm smile. Witterwell beams! Avrenka scowls. Illiya says to Anuril, "No worries about the other day."
