    They cross great plains and create murky swamps..."

Sukidesu nods to Leayne.

Leayne splashes playfully about in the water.

The fish suddenly expands into the form of Relay, who stands there dripping.

Gragnel recites:

   "All of this water moves just as you wish it."

Ectheleon nods.

Gragnel recites:

   "Is it divine irony?

    Words hardly seem to do you justice.

    Yet, it is you who gifted us with speech."

Gragnel recites:

   "Allow us this moment to lift your name on high.

    Here, at your divine altar and holy grounds."

Gragnel just touched a graceful dolphin statue.

A few small bubbles still clinging to the side of Vaddon's copper zills escape, soaring quickly towards the surface of the water.

Gragnel recites:

   "We pray unto you Lady Eluned.

    Please hear our voices as we speak glory on the graces you have shown us."

Ectheleon ponders.

Gragnel nods.

Gragnel thankfully says, "I appreciate your time."

Gragnel says, "I have a list of others who would like to share words with you, if you would like to also be on that list then just please whisper to me so I know to include you."

Ectheleon asks, "Is water wet?"

Gragnel bops Ectheleon over the head.

Vythlak grins at Ectheleon.

Zalinyar says to Ectheleon, "Only when you touch it."

Unaka chuckles.

Ectheleon nods at Zalinyar, obviously agreeing with her views.

Vythlak gets a dram of Shorka's Venom from inside his burlap bag.

Mistanna smiles at Vythlak.

(Vythlak suddenly stills and his eyes start to flicker with gold, then blue, then silver.)

Vythlak gestures.

A pale blue nimbus explodes outward, enshrouding Vythlak's body like a ghostly blanket. Slender tendrils of silver vapor slowly arise from the cloud and reach for Vythlak's eyes like long spectral fingers.

The color in Vythlak's eyes changes, the pupils gradually fading from sight as his eyes turn pale blue.

Vythlak chants in a baritone voice:

   "Spirits of the oceans,

     Spirits of the seas,

      Spirits of the rivers,

       Spirits of the lakes,

        Spirits of the pool.

    Answer our pleas!"

Vythlak chants in a baritone voice:

   "Spirits of sailors saved,

      Spirits of sailors lost,

     Spirits of sailors rescued,

    Answer our call!"

(Vythlak walks along the edge of the pool, his feet leaving splashes of water on the rocks as he softly sings a song about knowledge lost knowledge gained knowledge saved knowledge taken.)

Vythlak blinks in consternation as his brilliant gaze dims slightly, and he focuses on his immediate surroundings. The spectral glow intensifies, shifting his attention from the physical world once more.

Vythlak softly says, "Yes, they are answering the call."

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

(Vythlak walks amongst the gathered folk then stops next to Gragnel, staring intently past his shoulder.)

You feel a deep vibration coming from the ground beneath Gragnel.

(Vythlak kneels, then lays down with his left ear held just above the rocks and near Gragnel's feet.)

The glimmers of light above Unaka's head swim around each other, connecting briefly into a halo.

Vythlak softly says, "Whisper the secrets in our dreams, help guide us towards the knowledge we need to overcome our trials."

Vythlak's eyes turn from pale blue back to their normal color.

Sukidesu gazes upward.

Vythlak blinks.

Vythlak wobbles, looking a bit faint.

Vythlak blinks.

Vythlak groggily says, "Sorry about that. Still getting the hang of things."

Vaddon lies back against the water and shuts his eyes, offering up a silent prayer.

Vythlak coughs.

Ectheleon smiles at Vythlak.

Vythlak says, "For those who do not know me, I am Vythlak, Cleric of Phelim."

Sukidesu swims about in lazy circles.

Vythlak adjusts his lambswool stole into place.

Vythlak says, "From our last gathering, a task was not merely to talk about the Immortals, but to act in their name."

Sukidesu gazes off into the distance.

Vythlak says, "Since our gathering today is in honor of Eluned and Truffenyi, I visited several libraries."

Vaddon flounders about in the water.

Vythlak says, "Libraries are both a sign of civilization and a symbol - one way or another - of Lemicus, Eluned, and Drogor."

Vythlak says, "I spent time talking with scholars, wandering dusty halls, reading some books."

Vaddon swims back up into a vertical position.

Vythlak softly says, "Studying and observing the spirits of those places."

Ezathiel nods to Gragnel.

Vythlak says, "As I read through some of the older tomes, I got to thinking about Drogor, and when it might be good to lose knowledge and when it might be bad."

Ectheleon puts his Venom in his oilcloth rucksack.

Vythlak examines a graceful dolphin statue.

Gragnel observes Vythlak with fascination.

Vythlak asks, "For it is easy to say that knowledge should never be lost. Yet is that always true?"

Vythlak says, "We know from some of the oldest texts, fragments that the Heralds likely saved the world when powerful magics were about to be cast by mages of the Wind Clan."

Vythlak says, "At the last moment, they intervened and wiped out the Clan. Those magics have been since lost to the winds of time."

Leayne grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Vythlak asks, "But if they were found again, would it not be best for them to be lost?"

Vythlak says, "On the other hand, we also recover things from the past that had been lost. Treatises on healing, beneficial magics, and what not."

Leayne shrugs.

Vythlak says, "So it is not always good to have things within Drogor's gaze."

Kethrai nods to Vythlak.

The fish suddenly expands into the form of Saragos, who stands there dripping.

Unaka nods.

Vythlak says, "Let us now give a prayer to Drogor to turn his gaze away from our plans and towards the machinations of the Heralds."

Gragnel nods.

Vythlak recites:

   "Drogor cast your gaze,

    Upon the plots of the Heralds.

    Let their plans turn awry,

    Forgotten at opportune times."

Sukidesu gazes down at the floor.

Vythlak recites:

   "Come as a hurricane,

    With your might and anger

    Aiding Urrem'tier in his assault,

    A tidal wave to cast them aside."

Leayne lies back against the water and shuts her eyes, offering up a silent prayer.

Vythlak recites:

   "Lord of the endless deeps,

    Reap their plans,

    Bring them to ruin."

Relay smiles.

Leayne swims back up into a vertical position.

Vythlak recites:

   "Keep your attentions

    Firmly focused on the Heralds.

    Do not being ruin to our own plans."

Unaka nods to Vythlak.

Vythlak throws his head back and howls, "The enemies of Lord Drogor shall drown as the sharks tear them apart limb from limb, and their blood shall feed the lightless depths!"

Gragnel flashes a wide grin.

Ezathiel raises an eyebrow.

Vythlak adjusts his lambswool stole into place.

Vythlak nods to Gragnel.

Mistanna nods in agreement.

Kethrai quietly says, "Vivid."

Gragnel grins.

Unaka chuckles.

Ectheleon chuckles at Gragnel.

Ectheleon says, "For each Immortal, there is this preconception of the light, neutral, and dark aspects and I would like less to challenge that, but instead, question it."

Leayne enfolds Crobin in a warm embrace.

Kilenti gazes silently at Ectheleon.

Zynell smiles at Ectheleon.

Gragnel nods to Ectheleon.

Ectheleon asks, "Wherein lies the expectations that each light aspect has to be perfectly good and each dark aspect wholly evil?"

Vythlak gazes at Ectheleon.

Leayne nods.

Ectheleon says, "Eluned is a lady of wisdom, song, and speech, she moves the seas and provides clean water when there is none to drink."

Ectheleon says, "She lost much during the battle with the World Dragon, it ravaged the seas and set fire to Katamba."

Ezathiel ponders.

Kilenti nods to Ectheleon.

Ectheleon says, "Eluned raised the seas to quench the fire, leaving a charred moon and a flooded Elanthia."

Ectheleon says, "Eluned lost a sister when Peri'el stayed with the World Dragon to ensure a sleep everlasting."

Gragnel gives a slight nod.

Ectheleon says, "What these things say to me is that there is good and a bad in everything that happens."

Leilanie nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Vythlak nods to Ectheleon.

Ectheleon says, "When Katamba was quenched as the seas rose, there would have been a great loss of life due to the flood."

Leayne nods to Ectheleon.

Ectheleon says, "While the dragon is contained, Eluned's sister, Peri'el, no longer sings to the seas with her."

Ectheleon says, "Where clean water is provided for those whose rivers turned to salt, some instead chose to covet the tears shed by Eluned."

Ectheleon asks, "What I take from all of these thoughts is complicated, are the results of the Immortals actions what they truly intended?"

Kethrai gazes thoughtfully at Ectheleon.

Ectheleon says, "Every action we do has consequences. What we intend does not always yield the result we desire."

Ectheleon says, "What has been done has happened and we can debate past actions as much as we would like."

Ectheleon shrugs.

Ectheleon asks, "What I would like to think about and discuss is what can be done, what can I do to leave a positive sum of my actions on this world?"

Gragnel ponders.

Ectheleon says, "I must apologize for having no answers but I thank everyone here for listening as I walk through my musings, may the calming waters help you and your thoughts."

   "I think this is pretty fitting

    Starting with travel and water

    Two main features for building civilization."

Leayne nods.

Mazilyn recites:

   "Distance to water, both fishing and drinking impact where people settle.

    While Truffenyi is head honcho of civilization, Eluned is a big part of the success or failure of the civilization."

Gragnel nods in agreement.

Mazilyn gives her Truffenyi doll a little hug. Did the doll give her a little hug back?

    We stand humbly before you, seeking your grace"

    With reverence, we offer our prayers, that your strength may be nourished"

Ezathiel recites:

   "We come before you, O Great Eluned, to ask for your wisdom

    Our fate is unclear, and we are adrift in the unknown

    Help us, O Wise One, to see what is hidden from our mortal eyes

    Grant us clarity to untangle the mystery of wild magic

    That confounds our understanding and tests our spirits"

Leilanie smiles at Ectheleon.

Ezathiel recites:

   "Let your divine insight break through the fog of our ignorance

    Guide us as a loving parent would their child

    For we stand as children, innocent and yearning

    Desperate for your wisdom, for your light to show the way"

Unaka gazes at Ezathiel.

Ezathiel recites:

   "O Eluned, hear our plea

    Strengthen our hearts and sharpen our minds

    So that we may walk in harmony with your ancient truths

A golden glow erupts from Unaka's halo, and your vision is overtaken by a blinding flash! When the haze dissipates, you find yourself surrounded by blue so vast and bright that it sears your eyes. You blink and realize you are looking at an endless ocean meeting a perfect blue sky. Suddenly, you plunge into it, the initial shock of cold giving way to a feeling of buoyancy, your view now one of sun-soaked dolphins swimming peacefully beneath the surface. A voice enters your mind, as if embracing you from all around. "I sense your thirst for understanding. Persist. Search ardently, experiment, and you may draw My gaze."

[Silvery Pool]
Moonlight dances over the pool like a thousand stars among the dark ripples.

[Silvery Pool, Waterfall]
Cool tendrils of water slip down the rough surface of the mammoth stone outcropping, cascading to the rock's base with a sibilant whisper. Water dances and leaps jubilantly beneath the waterfall, before rippling away in great waves, to finally die away and lie still at the pool's farthest reaches. Along the banks, tall vilt reeds provide privacy for modest swimmers. You also see a ghostly white banner.

Gragnel gives a slight nod.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "How were they limited, what would they do if those limits weren't there..."

Kethrai says, "It was definitely a sense we got several times from Elanthia's visions. But Truffenyi gave a vision that seemed to say something similar. Throwing the drink in their faces, and then being turned into something the size of a mouse..."

Vythlak just arrived.

Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms.

Gragnel nods to Unaka.

Zynell says, "I forget the specifics of it but it implied that the immortals were regaining strength. it was during the meraud vigil i think."

Unaka nods.

Kethrai says, "A sense that when the Immortals came here, they used sorcery despite the negative effect it had on the Heralds, and in response they restricted them in some way... But a way that the Immortals didn't notice, at first? I think."

Ectheleon nods.

Unaka says, "Maybe."

Leayne nods to Unaka.

Vythlak puffs on his sungrown cigar.

Mistanna waves.

Mistanna salutes before turning and wandering off to find some rest.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel roots around the area for a moment.

Gragnel forages around the area for a while until he finds a mahogany branch.

Kethrai says, "I also got the sense from those visions that the Immortals weren't even aware of the harm they were causing. It seemed more... miscommunication, than conflict, at least at first."

Gragnel puts his branch on a large fire.

Leayne casually flicks some ashes off the end of her sungrown cigar.

Vythlak nods at Ectheleon, obviously agreeing with his views.

Leayne ponders.

Unaka says to Vythlak, "Don't know for sure, but I think all the Immortals support sorcery. The Heralds really hate it."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Crobin says, "One can support the use of sorcery wihtout using it."

Crobin says, "Trust me."

Gragnel says, "The Immortals have said, "Sorcery is the way."

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Vythlak nods to Unaka.

Zynell says to Vythlak, "The immortals are all against using necromancy."

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Zynell shrugs.

Aerilia nods to Gragnel.

Ectheleon says, "Early meetings turn to miscommunications turns to friction which finds it's way to conflict."

Unaka says to Kethrai, "Seemed to me from your letter like you really wish they could talk and work it all out."

Vythlak says, "In the sense of support it, but not all may use it."

Kethrai says, "Enelne has also joined the Immortals in this, which might mean the Great Pack all support it."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai nods to Unaka.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka nods.

Ezathiel softly says to Gragnel, "I am sorry but I need to leave. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute."

Zynell says, "It would be worth another ask, given our newer informations."

Unaka says to Kethrai, "Well, I will try to be there with you in support, if I can make it. Not sure if I can but I'll try."

Ezathiel places his hands on his thighs and bows deeply at the waist towards Gragnel, holding the position for a moment before returning upright.

Leayne waves to Ezathiel.

Zynell nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Kethrai says, "It was... a while ago, before the conflict came into real focus. I'm hoping we'll get more direct answers to more direct questions."

Ezathiel waves.

Kilenti waves to Ezathiel.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Ezathiel strolls northwest.

Unaka asks, "What are the direct questions? Your questions about the Heralds as caretakers?"

Kethrai shakes his head.

Kethrai asks, "No, for the Triquetra I'd want us to just ask more simply... where they stand? Do we use sorcery, do we eschew it? Do they want us supporting the Immortals in this fight?"

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Leayne smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Unaka asks, "I'm curious, where would you stand depending on the different answers?"

Zynell says, "Next to Damaris."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka nods to Zynell.

Unaka says, "We know where Damaris stands at least."

Zalinyar nods to Zynell.

Unaka grins at Zynell.

Zynell grins mischievously.

Gragnel adjusts his leather longcoat into place.

Gragnel idly picks at a black leather longcoat decorated in homage to Damaris.

Kethrai says, "They're a third party who so far doesn't seem to be involved in the fight. So, I'd take what they have to say with some seriousness, less likely to be biased one way or another."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Mazilyn strides off, muttering prayers under her breath.

Vythlak asks Kethrai, "But why would they not have a role in this, or what would make them different?"

Kethrai says, "But I don't suppose I can come to any real answers until I hear theirs."

Mazilyn arrives, her eyes on the sky above.

Zynell asks, "When will you be asking them?"

Leayne nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "Well, what I mean is... This seems to be a fight between the Heralds and the Thirteen, at least on the surface. At least so far, it doesn't seem like the Triquetra are being directly threatened by either."

Kethrai says, "Aside from the possible effects on the Prydaen people."

Kethrai says to Zynell, "I've asked to put a meeting on the provincial calendar, it'll be in five andaen."

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Zynell nods.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Unaka says, "Well, good questions to ask."

Zynell says, "The clerics will do their best to support your quest."

Zynell nods to Kethrai.

Ectheleon nods in agreement.

Gragnel says, "I'll be honest, I'm ignorant on the faith and practices of the Prydaen people. I'm interested in attending for sure."

Vythlak nods to Kethrai.

Gragnel nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "To some extent, it's... mmh."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Mazilyn nods emphatically.

Kethrai says, "Many Prydaen are culturally against sorcery."

Ectheleon says to Kethrai, "I would love to learn as well."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Crobin nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "But that's because of our experience with necromancy, and not... making much of a distinction between them."

Leilanie says, "With good reason."

Crobin says, "I use to be myself."

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

Unaka says, "I wonder if we will need to keep up with sorcery forever, or if we can let it fall off at some point."

Mazilyn taps some mismatched haralun hand claws set with symbols of blue gold-inlaid kadepa that she is wearing.

Kethrai says, "I'm not sure if we've ever heard directly from Eu-Demrris-Tenemlor what they think about sorcery that isn't necromancy."

Leayne's sungrown cigar goes out and crumbles away.

Mazilyn beams at Kethrai!

Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Zynell shakes her head.

Leayne ponders.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Vythlak's sungrown cigar goes out and crumbles away.

Unaka says, "Well, now seems to be a time that the gods are speaking, so you might as well ask."

Ectheleon asks Unaka, "That's a thought, what if current conceptions of sorcery weren't what they were and may not be what they will be?"

Kethrai nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Unaka says, "You heard Eluned."

Kethrai says, "Precisely my thought."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka nods to Ectheleon.

Zynell nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Vythlak softly says, "I think we have ourselves a quest to undertake."

Vythlak strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Unaka says, "Yeah. It doesn't help that some of the sorceries have different names either."

Leilanie smiles.

Unaka rubs her head.

Unaka asks, "Has anyone made any plans about the Null Prison?"

Aerilia ponders.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Vythlak glances up at the sky.

Zynell says, "Avrenka."

Miskton scratches distractedly at his beard.

Aerilia says, "Avrenka's holding an experiment soon in Arhat's Tower."

Gragnel says, "Yeah, I'm not the only one who heard a voice speak. Am I? It said to continue. Persist. Search. Experiment."

Aerilia nods.

Kethrai nods to Gragnel.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "That's what I heard too."

Unaka nods.

Vythlak nods to Gragnel.

Zynell nods to Gragnel.

Gragnel says, "Okay, didn't know if it was one of my crazy Cleric moments or not."

Vaddon nods.

Gragnel says, "I have those from time to time."

Ectheleon grins at Gragnel.

Gragnel gazes up at the sky.

Gragnel's shoulders bow as if under some great burden.

Unaka smiles at Ectheleon.

Gragnel rolls his eyes heavenward and mumbles, "Why me?!"

Crobin says to Gragnel, "You are crazy."

Unaka nods to Ectheleon.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel says to Crobin, "This is a fact."

Kethrai says, "I think Saragos is also working on the Null Prison idea, he was here earlier but seems to have left."

Vythlak offers a prayer to Eluned for safe journeys.

Zynell says, "We also have the beseeching of elanthia coming up."

Unaka says, "Well, experimenting is good. I still have the sense that it can be opened again. My feeling is that the way is through the Immortals, but who knows, might be another way."

Kethrai nods to Zynell.

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Leilanie rubs her head.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Vythlak nods at Leilanie, obviously agreeing with her views.

Zynell says, "We are also still working on the Asildu assistance program."

Aerilia says, "Based off of what happened last time.. I don't think we'll be prying it open without divine assistance."

Zynell nods to Unaka.

Gragnel says, "If there is a way with the Immortals grace, that's the way for me. Anything else is untrustworthy at best."

Kethrai asks Unaka, "I think you said earlier that it would require strength from them to do it, and might leave them weakened afterward... Is that still true?"

Ectheleon bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.

Gragnel folds his arms across his chest.

Vythlak says to Zynell, "Maybe after we get through each of the Thirteen we do a big confab for all immortals together."

Leayne smiles at Zynell, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Leilanie gives Vythlak a half-hearted grin.

Zynell grins at Vythlak.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka says to Kethrai, "I don't know for certain. I do get the sense that what we mortals do affects them, but who knows how right I am."

Leayne gets a glass of red wine from inside her rose colored haversack.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Crobin says, "I can only waggle my fingers so much."

Gragnel stands near Leayne.

Gragnel leans on Leayne.

Vythlak says to Unaka, "It seems like it must, else why the earlier recorded intervention of the Heralds...."

Kethrai says, "That seems certain, at least. Your halo sure responds to what we do."

Gragnel stretches out a hand imploringly to Leayne.

Zalinyar grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Leayne smiles at Gragnel, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Leayne giggles at Crobin.

Leayne waggles her fingers mystically at Crobin. How nice.

Crobin flails his arms about.

Gragnel asks Leayne, "Got any more where that came from?"

Mazilyn sighs and says a soft prayer to herself.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka says, "If I had to guess, I'd say that maybe the idea is to empower them in the right way, direct them the right way, and they can use that power to open the Prison? But I don't know."

Leayne gets a glass of Ain Ghazal red wine from inside her rose colored haversack.

Vythlak says to Gragnel, "Glythtide's got you covered."

Vythlak raises his hand in an imaginary toast.

You hear a distant but hearty chuckle as a tall glass of Ishra's Pale appears in Vythlak's right hand!

Unaka says, "If it does weaken them, probably shouldn't open it too many times."

Leayne moves a glass of red wine to her left hand.

Leayne moves a glass of Ain Ghazal red wine to her right hand.

(Gragnel looks hopefully at Leayne's glass of wine.)

Vythlak offers Gragnel a tall glass of Ishra's Pale.

Kethrai nods to Unaka.

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Gragnel declines Vythlak's offer.

Vythlak gets some deep red wine from inside his burlap bag.

Gragnel stands near Leayne.

Vythlak moves a tall glass of Ishra's Pale to his left hand.

Vythlak moves some deep red wine to his right hand.

Zynell says, "So no lefts."

Zynell nods to Unaka.

Vythlak taps some deep red wine that he is holding.

Leayne offers Gragnel a glass of Ain Ghazal red wine.

Gragnel accepts Leayne's Ain Ghazal red wine.

Vythlak puts his wine in his burlap bag.

Gragnel sniffs at a glass of Ain Ghazal red wine.

Gragnel beams!

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Leayne smiles at Gragnel, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Forest Watcher Damoone just arrived.

Vythlak takes a sip of his Pale.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Crobin gives Damoone a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles.

Zalinyar grins at Zynell, her dimples flashing into view.

Unaka says, "But then again, opening it could weaken the Heralds too, if those prisoners are helping them somehow."

Gragnel says, "Ahhh, Ain Ghazal. Nice."

Unaka shrugs.

Leayne smiles at Damoone, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Gragnel praises Leayne.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Leayne giggles at Gragnel.

Kethrai says, "And that might mean they can't break everyone out of the prison. So they'll need to come up with a way to figure out who they should prioritize."

Unaka says, "Lot of unknowns, though. Don't treat my word as the final one."

Aerilia says, "Maybe something like what we did to open Knife Clan's encasement. Lots of sorcery to fuel them, and let the gods pry open the door again."

Leayne rests her hand on Damoone's arm with a soft smile.

Aerilia ponders.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Leilanie knits her eyebrows together in a thoughtful frown.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel licks his lips.

Gragnel lets out a long sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, Damoone disappears into his surroundings.

Crobin says, "Do like a good prison break."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell says to Aerilia, "That seems to be sortof the plan."

Leayne laughs at Crobin.

Kethrai says, "So, one thought that I've had about that..."

Gragnel says to Leayne, "That. Was. Perfect. Thank you."

Aerilia nods to Zynell.

Zalinyar chuckles at Crobin.

Leayne nods to Gragnel.

Kethrai says, "Since we brought up Sraan Mehath earlier..."

Damoone reveals himself.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Aerilia asks Zynell, "Getting it open is only half of it, though. What do we do about the countless people inside?"

Crobin says, "I know little about magic...but when it comes to prison's...I find ways in and out of them."

Kethrai asks, "What if they weren't destroyed, or killed? What if they were all imprisoned?"

Forest Watcher Damoone goes northwest.

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

Leilanie smiles at Crobin.

Zalinyar says, "Grab n drag. just like durin an invasion."

Zalinyar nods to Aerilia.

Leayne smiles at Zalinyar, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Zynell says to Aerilia, "That is a decidedly not anyone planning the break in's problem."

Unaka fixes Kethrai with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Crobin ponders.

Zynell grins mischievously at Aerilia.

Aerilia chuckles.

Kethrai says to Zalinyar, "There were... thousands in there. Tens of thousands. More, maybe."

Unaka slowly says, "Could be."

Leayne gasps!

Aerilia says to Kethrai, "It does seem to be their favored method of punishment."

Aerilia ponders.

Zalinyar nods to Kethrai.

Zalinyar says to Kethrai, "I saw them in chains."

Crobin asks, "Unaka?"

Kethrai nods to Zalinyar.

Unaka says, "Or maybe they have a reason to kill some and imprison others."

Unaka shrugs.

Unaka nods to Crobin.

Crobin asks Unaka, "Is there a warden in this prison?"

Leayne giggles at Crobin.

Aerilia says, "I had an idea, based on the vision of Hodierna's Unicorn and the vela'tohr plant. It was large, and spread out to reach everyone on a battlefield.."

Unaka says, "Uh... I didn't exactly go looking around in there myself."

Zynell giggles at Unaka.

Kethrai says, "If there was a warden, we haven't run into them."

Unaka says, "But could be. Lots of prisons have wardens."

Aerilia asks Kethrai, "Maybe if we made our own thicket, Hodierna could empower it to reach into the prison and grab the prisoners?"

Amabalis continues to chant the infectious strains of Faenella's Grace, seeming to lose herself in the very rhythms she produces.

Kethrai looks thoughtfully at Aerilia.

Unaka says, "I'd be prepared to dodge one just in case, if it were me."

Crobin says to Unaka, "Take out the Warden the prison becomes easier to work through."

Unaka says, "I doubt you'll have time. Or if you do, you trade it for prisoners you could be saving."

Kethrai says, "Or if not grab them... Sense them, empower them, give them something to follow back out of the maze."

Gragnel says to Crobin, "You're starting to sound like one of those Grey Raven folk."

Gragnel glances at Crobin.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel looks at Crobin and recoils.

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

Crobin says, "One good snatch and grab for a key if there is one and then all locks become much easier to open."

Gragnel roots around the area for a moment.

Gragnel forages around the area for a while until he finds a rosewood branch.

Gragnel puts his branch on a large fire.

Zalinyar grins at Gragnel, her dimples flashing into view.

Miskton nods politely.

Miskton strolls northwest.

Aerilia says to Kethrai, "I recall Dantia saying that it was her empasthic senses that the Immortals latched onto to pull her out."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai nods to Aerilia.

Aerilia says, "So.. maybe empathy can reach back in, too."

Gragnel ponders.

Kethrai says, "Maybe... Though I'd still be worried that we might be releasing some people from prison who are in there for important reasons."

Unaka shrugs.

Ryeka just arrived.

Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Zynell grins at Ryeka.

Aerilia says, "I don't think we'll have the time to be selective about who we bring out."

Ryeka grins at Zynell, her dimples flashing into view.

Gragnel says, "Empathy is outside of my realm of skill, I'm just gonna have to stick to praying and preaching."

Kethrai says, "One person being falsely imprisoned doesn't mean we should set the mass murderers loose."

Gragnel chuckles.

Zalinyar says to Kethrai, "Good point."

Aerilia asks Kethrai, "But does anything warrant an eternity in a timeless prison? Anything a mortal can do?"

Light rain begins to fall from the sky.

Zynell says, "We have several things imprisoned on this realm...."

Zynell says, "For good reasons."

RIenth says in Ilithic, "I don't know that we can assume they're all mortals."

Rienth coughs.

Rienth says, "I don't know that we can assume they're all mortals."

Crobin angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Rienth.

Kethrai shakes his head at Rienth.

Kethrai says to you, "No, we can't."

Crobin gets a bleached bone amulet carved into a stylized black pard from inside his battle-scarred carryall.

Crobin brushes the surface of his bone amulet and begins to reel! He clutches his head in pain!

Rienth nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Crobin puts his amulet in his battle-scarred carryall.

Rienth says, "That's exactly what I mean."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka says, "Truffenyi isn't the god of justice. He is one of mercy and forgiveness. But even he I think would protect his children from those who are evil and do not repent."

Rienth says, "This isn't exactly the Crossing jail we're talking about."

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Crobin says, "Yes."

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Crobin says, "It is much bigger."

Zynell says, "That also assumes they are his children which are imprisoned."

Crobin says, "Much more exciting to break into."

Gragnel nods to Unaka.

Zynell giggles.

Kethrai says, "So, the theory Saragos is working with, about the Heralds..."

Unaka nods to Zynell.

Mazilyn says, "They could be! or could choose to be."

Mazilyn beams!

Zynell nods to Mazilyn.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel pats Mazilyn on the back.

Kethrai says, "He thinks they're less like gardeners, and more like farmers. Planting a crop, and then coming back to harvest it someday."

Kilenti just left.

Gragnel says to Mazilyn, "I'm loving your love for the Ox."

Kethrai says, "That is to say -- we, mortals, are the crop."

Gragnel grins at Mazilyn.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia ponders.

The white banner fades out of sight.

Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!

Unaka says, "Might explain why they were caretakers for so long."

Kethrai asks, "If he's right about that... I also wonder if that Null Prison might be better thought of as their... grain silo?"

Unaka shudders.

Unaka says, "Not a nice thought."

Ryeka frowns.

Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Gragnel winces.

Kethrai shakes his head at Unaka.

Ryeka nods in agreement.

Crobin says, "Not nice, but could be accurate."

Unaka says, "But I dunno, it seems like what they really care about is mana, not mortals."

Ryeka carefully carves out the knob on a pine stick with her knife.

Kethrai nods to Unaka.

Gragnel says, "They want food, not friends."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Crobin ponders.

Gragnel gazes up at the sky.

Unaka says, "Obviously the mana storms and horrible effects aren't great for us."

Leayne nods to Unaka.

Kethrai says, "True. And even during the pure magic gathering, when we felt them seeming to take a gulp... It didn't involve anybody getting one of those plugs in their neck."

Crobin asks, "Is there a way to make a sorcery storm?"

Unaka says, "But I don't know if it's us they're harvesting, exactly. Maybe some kidna mana harvest."

Leayne ponders.

Aerilia nods.

Ectheleon ponders.

Unaka asks Crobin, "Lotta casting, maybe. And I heard that Liraxes is making something?"

Kethrai says to Crobin, "Yeah, with enough mixed mana. Saragos and company managed that during one of our experiments."

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Gragnel nods to Kethrai.

Ectheleon says, "I must apologize but I'm about ready for a nap. Thank you again for everyone's time and I hope you all the best."

Ectheleon sweeps a lumium sallet off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time.

Ectheleon hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Ectheleon with a warm smile.

Unaka nods to Ectheleon.

Ectheleon hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Ectheleon with a warm smile.

Ryeka says, "I saw that machine- and checked on it."

Crobin says, "Hmm sorcery storms and find a way to send them towards the Heralds."

Aerilia says, "I think it was Asildu that mentioned the Heralds' previous world was destroyed, and blamed on sorcery. Maybe that was a 'crop' that went bad."

Ectheleon hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

Ryeka ponders.

Crobin hugs Ectheleon, who wraps his arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Ectheleon hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Gragnel asks Kethrai, "That was the one weaving the lattice of aether, yes?"

Leayne hugs Ectheleon, who wraps his arms around Leayne with a warm smile.

Ectheleon waves to Amabalis.

Zynell says, "There is the magic storm in shard."

Kethrai nods to Gragnel.

Damoone reveals himself.

Amabalis waves to Ectheleon.

Unaka nods to Aerilia.

Ectheleon goes northwest.

Kethrai says to Zynell, "But that's purely Elemental, not sorcerous."

Kethrai says to Aerilia, "That's also a thought."

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Crobin says, "Alright all."

Ryeka beams with pride as she places the last finishing touches on her rendition of a dolphin, completing a pine dolphin bead.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Aerilia says, "Wish we could learn more about that, but I doubt the Immortals or Elanthia would have any idea about other worlds."

Vaddon smiles.

Crobin says, "All this talking of casting and such is making the head hurt."

Crobin hugs Zynell, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Gragnel laughs!

Crobin hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Ryeka grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Zalinyar grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Crobin shakes Gragnel's hand.

Medikaus grins.

Zalinyar waggles her fingers mystically at Crobin. How nice.

Kethrai asks, "Although, when we talk about a previous world... Does it mean a different Plane? Or a different planet on Abiding?"

Leilanie smiles at Crobin.

Crobin hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Leayne hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Unaka nods to Crobin.

Crobin shakes Vaddon's hand.

Gragnel says to Crobin, "It's been 0 days since your last bath."

Unaka says to Crobin, "Goggles. Next time."

Unaka nods to Crobin.

Gragnel nods to Crobin.

Aerilia looks at Kethrai and shrugs.

Leayne hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Leayne with a warm smile.

Zynell says to Kethrai, "We could try adding magic to it, i do not know if anyone has bothered with that yet? if we need to solve a couple problems at once."

Crobin nods to Unaka.

Leayne hugs Aerilia, getting a smile in return.

Crobin says, "Will look for some."

Crobin hugs Aerilia, getting a smile in return.

Aerilia says to Kethrai, "Good question. I have no idea how all of that works."

Leayne just hugged Amabalis.

Aerilia hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Aerilia with a warm smile.

Crobin hugs Mazilyn, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Leayne hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Leayne with a warm smile.

Aerilia hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Aerilia with a warm smile.

Crobin hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

Ryeka holds a pine dolphin bead high into the air for all to see.

Crobin hugs Zynell, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.

Unaka says, "Lots we don't know. Good day for Eluned, if you ask me."

Leilanie hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Leilanie with a warm smile.

Crobin says, "You all be good."

Mazilyn hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Mazilyn with a warm smile.

Gragnel grins at Ryeka.

Crobin says, "Or good at it."

Mazilyn hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Mazilyn with a warm smile.

Leayne hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

Ryeka grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.

Zynell hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Zynell with a warm smile.

Crobin says, "And if you need someone to run into a prison to break things out."

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Zynell hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Zynell with a warm smile.

Kethrai nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Crobin says, "I am the guy for you."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Ryeka offers Unaka a pine dolphin bead.

Zalinyar nods to Gragnel.

Unaka hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Unaka with a warm smile.

Crobin says, "Here we go hun."

Zalinyar hugs Gragnel, getting a smile in return.

Unaka accepts Ryeka's dolphin bead.

Kethrai says, "Some visions have shown the Heralds associated with what looks like a portal in the sky to a foreign field of stars..."

Leayne softly says, "Be well."

Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Fearless Crobin saunters northwest, leading his group.

Unaka says, "Thanks."

Gragnel nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

Ryeka exclaims, "My pleasure!"

Zalinyar says, "Good to see everyone and hear the ideas."

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "Yeah, the unfamiliar stars. I remember that."

Unaka glances up at the sky.

Kethrai says, "Which makes me think it's a place on Abiding, just unimaginably far away."

Unaka says, "Hmm, can't see them now."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Vaddon glances up at the sky.

Ryeka glances up at the sky.

Amabalis glances up at the sky.

Zalinyar glances up at the sky.

Kethrai says, "We saw some similar things in the Involuted Passage..."

Vythlak just left.

Aerilia says, "Hopefully Liraxes can soon restore them from wherever they've been hidden or stolen."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia glances up at the sky.

Kethrai says, "Crobin even tried to go through one. Unsuccessfully."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka chuckles.

Kethrai says, "Seemed to be more like windows than doors."

Unaka says, "Sounds like him."

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "That tracks for him."

Aerilia smiles quickly.

Forest Watcher Damoone goes northwest.

Unaka puts her bead in her thick satchel.

Amabalis nods to Leilanie.

Leilanie clasps Amabalis's hand tenderly.

Leilanie bobs down and back up in a quick curtsy.

Gragnel waves to Leilanie.

Sensitive Leilanie walks northwest, leading her group.

Unaka asks Kethrai, "Well, do you at least feel any better than you did the other day?"

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai says to Unaka, "No less confused, but... better for having expressed it, I guess."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Unaka says, "Yeah, I get that."

Zynell nods.

Kethrai says to Unaka, "And thank you for listening, it helps."

Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka says, "You want that clarity, and it's hard for you to head into battle without it."

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Gragnel says, "Aptly put."

Gragnel nods to Unaka.

Zalinyar nods.

Zalinyar says, "Indeed."

Unaka nods to Zynell.

Kethrai says, "Hard enough even when I know what's going on."

Zynell bows to Unaka.

Ryeka chuckles.

Unaka nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia nods.

Mazilyn says, "I never know whats going on."

Mazilyn beams!

Ryeka chuckles.

Gragnel chuckles.

Gragnel pats Mazilyn on the back.

Unaka says, "Well, glad I could help at least a little. I'll keep trying."

Mazilyn beams at Unaka!

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Zalinyar praises Unaka.

Kethrai brushes one ear with his hand, grooming it absentmindedly.

Kethrai says, "Hope that doesn't sound too much like cowardice."

Gragnel says, "I see this as a test of faith, if I allow myself to be bullied then I may as well allow it for the rest of my life. Mama Durbin told her son to always stand up to bullies. And, I'm that son."

Gragnel just traced a circle around his face.

Aerilia asks Unaka, "Thanks for doing it. No more head wounds from parsing visions lately?"

Unaka says to Kethrai something in Prydaenese.

Kethrai trills softly at Unaka.

Unaka says to Aerilia, "None lately. There are some that are more difficult than others."

Vaddon studies the faces around him.

Aerilia nods.

Ryeka nods.

Gragnel roots around the area for a moment.

Gragnel forages around the area for a while until he finds an ebony branch.

A pained expression crosses Kethrai's face.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Unaka says, "These seem to come naturally with these gatherings. Deeper questions, not as much? Depends."

Gragnel puts his branch on a large fire.

Unaka says, "Anyway, I should get going. Good to see the faith remaining strong."

Kethrai bows to Unaka.

Ryeka exclaims, "Rest well!"

Aerilia says, "Good night. Take care."

Gragnel says to Unaka, "We try to choose a location and create an environment for the Immortals to hopefully recieve our praise as best they can."

Zynell says, "Reminder, next week is our Damaris Grove Gathering for his followers, a few days after that we have Huldah."

Unaka nods to Gragnel.

Unaka exclaims, "It seems to be working!"

Gragnel beams at Unaka!

Ryeka nods to Zynell.

Zalinyar nods to Zynell.

Unaka nods to Zynell.

Ryeka gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

Kethrai says to Unaka, "Be safe and be well."

Unaka waves.

Aerilia waves to Unaka.

Zynell waves.

Unaka says, "Goodbye."

Zalinyar waves.

Vaddon waves.

Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka strides northwest.

Valiant Vaddon strides northwest, leading his group.

* Unaka returns home from a hard day of adventuring.

Gragnel slowly empties his lungs.

Gragnel says, "Well, I get to check "Turn someone into a fish" off my bucket list."

Aerilia chuckles.

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Aerilia says, "A whole crowd, at that."

Kethrai asks Gragnel, "Is it a fish bucket?"

Zynell says, "A lot of someones."

Ryeka laughs!

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "A chum bucket."

Gragnel laughs!

Gragnel praises Kethrai.

Ryeka says, "Turning into a fish is fun, though."

Ryeka winks.

Kethrai says, "Oh good, Drogor will be happy."

Aerilia says, "Certainly a unique experience."

Ryeka exclaims, "Not a care in the world!"

Gragnel says, "I'm sure some have never done it, so I really did want to lead the gathering."

Gragnel chuckles.

Kethrai nods to Gragnel.

Ryeka chuckles.

Mazilyn bounces around happily.

Gragnel says, "Gotta get my kicks in where I can in this Cleric-ing world."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Ryeka says, "Besides, that underwater cavern is a great place to hide."

Mazilyn asks Kethrai, "Ya need anything for the triquetra event?"

Ryeka whistles a merry tune.

Gragnel says, "Most of all with Relay bumming me out all the time."

Gragnel just nudged Relay.

Aerilia chuckles.

Kethrai says to Mazilyn, "I'm going to reach out to some Prydaen groups, mostly would just want participants."

Gragnel says, "He's always like "Guess what? You die. Glory to Urrem'tier." Each time."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Aerilia nods to Gragnel.

Mazilyn exclaims to Kethrai, "I participate pretty okayly!"

Ryeka roots around the area for a moment.

Ryeka chuckles.

Ryeka roots around the area for a moment.

Ryeka forages around the area for a while until she finds an aspen stick.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "Try Harsh next time, you can be glory to Aldauth."

Gragnel laughs!

Ryeka puts her stick on a large fire.

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Gragnel says, "I gotta get him to come down off his vulture first."

Gragnel smirks.

Ryeka says, "I met Harsh in person. Great guy."

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell shakes her head.

Yavash slowly rises above the horizon.

Ryeka exclaims, "But as he put it, tends to die impressively!"

Kethrai says, "And with company, sometimes."

Ryeka chuckles.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai says to Mazilyn, "Anyway, would be happy to have you."

Mazilyn beams at Kethrai!

Mazilyn exclaims, "Happy to help!"

Mazilyn bounces around happily.

Gragnel says, "Well as Zynell said, we'll be holding a gathering at Damaris' altar in the Dark Grove soon. Following that we will be gathering for Huldah, and after that for Kuniyo."

Kethrai says, "Should be right after the Heart and Helm jousting practice that day."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel says, "So, busy little Clerics still going strong."

Mazilyn nods to Kethrai.

Aerilia nods to Gragnel.

Zynell ponders.

Gragnel says to Zynell, "To be honest, the Huldah one makes me a little nervous."

Aerilia says to Gragnel, "I pray this comes to a close before you run out of Immortals to exalt."

Ryeka nods to Gragnel.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel says to Zynell, "And I, like, never get nervous."

Kethrai says, "I figure I'll bring along a bundle of pelts and undead skins in case people want to use them."

Zynell asks, "If you happen to get the chance. could you ask the triquetra why we cannot align our souls to them without sorcery?"

Kethrai ponders.

Kethrai nods to Zynell.

Gragnel covers his mouth with his hand.

Gragnel exclaims, "The Immortals have said, "Sorcery is the way!"

Gragnel hums to himself.

Zynell says, "It is not nearly as important as your other questions but i think it is... oddly in line at the same time."

Ryeka grins at Gragnel, her dimples flashing into view.

Zynell nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "I've heard that's true also for the Great Pack and the Gorbesh gods."

Zynell says, "It is."

Kethrai says, "If I had to guess, it's because the practice of alignment that gets taught to Clerics here was designed for the Thirty-Nine."

Zynell says, "The temple is.... reluctant to agree with that."

Kethrai says, "But I'll ask if I can."

Gragnel gives Zynell a slight nod.

Kethrai says, "The Temple is reluctant to agree with a lot of things that are true..."

Zynell says, "Aye, well they will not be figuring it out either."

Zynell says, "So thought as you say, we get a third party."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell grins mischievously.

Kethrai says, "The Temple tells me that Truffenyi created Elanthia, Elanthia tells me different."

Zynell says, "I am not a temple cleric. you know this."

Kethrai nods to Zynell.

Aerilia glances up at the sky.

Zynell says, "I already wrote them a pointed letter."

Gragnel says, "Oh, I am. Sort. Mostly. I mean, I did study there for awhile."

Gragnel fidgets nervously.

Gragnel gazes off into the distance.

Kethrai says, "Oh, I expect that I'm preaching to the choir, pun intended."

Ryeka chuckles.

Gragnel smirks at Kethrai.

Aerilia closes her eyes for a moment and grows still.

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "Good one. We'll allow the point."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Gragnel roots around the area for a moment.

Gragnel forages around the area for a while until he finds a teak branch.

Ryeka raises her hand in a quick salute.

Gragnel puts his branch on a large fire.

Gragnel waves to Ryeka.

Ryeka says, "I believe I'll hole up here tonight."

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Ryeka entered a silvery pool.

Aerilia blinks.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "Anyway, I don't think the Temple is a fundamentally bad organization. Just... Any organization, once it gets to a certain level of age, size, and power, starts to lose track of what's true and what would be convenient if it were true."

Kethrai says, "Plenty true of my own guild, too."

Aerilia gives a slight nod.

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "It has its faults, as an organization, I would agree completely."

Relay peers quizzically at Gragnel.

The rain begins to come down more heavily.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai gazes up at the sky.

Kethrai sighs.

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "As with many mortal matters, it has a bunch of mortals messing things up.\."

Gragnel chuckles.

Kethrai nods to Gragnel.

Zynell says, "All the secrets, letting a necromancer run the inquisition."

Zynell says, "Rather destroy magical knowledge than incorporate it into clerical study."

Relay nods to Gragnel.

Kethrai says, "A rather devout necromancer... One who directly has the ear of Berengaria."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell giggles.

Zynell says, "And one who will not help someone in need."

Zynell shrugs.

Gragnel says, "Yeah. Aint seen him in awhile. Wonder what he's up to."

Relay nods to Gragnel.

Aerilia nods.

Gragnel rubs his neck.

Gragnel gazes off into the distance.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "Last I saw, it was to declare Asildu and anyone trying to help him heretics."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel says, "Sounds like him."

Mazilyn asks, "Im a what now?"

Kethrai says to Mazilyn, "Don't worry, the Inqusition is like two people now."

Gragnel says to Mazilyn, "A good Cleric of our Lord Truffenyi."

Zynell says, "Three."

Mazilyn nods.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Mazilyn says, "Oh ok."

Kethrai says, "And Rileos is too drunk most of the time to do any inquisiting."

Aerilia draws the folds of her cloak about herself.

Zynell says, "They added another little cleric who hates necromancers."

Zynell says, "Sweetheart otherwise."

Zynell shrugs.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel ponders.

Gragnel asks Zynell, "Who?"

Zynell says to Gragnel, "She did not get a huge ceremony of pompous like the others."

Zynell giggles.

Gragnel chuckles.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell says, "You know i am fantastic at names."

Gragnel says, "Amazing, really. Like, the total best ever."

Gragnel snorts, loudly.

Zynell says, "Starts with a K for sure."

Zynell nods.

Kethrai says, "Sweetheart? Hates necromancers? K name? I don't THINK I'm in the Inquisition."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai ponders.

Aerilia begins chortling at Kethrai.

Gragnel laughs!

Zynell asks, "Little cleric?"

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "But you're not little and not a Cleric."

Wanderer Tarzin goes northwest.

Zynell shrugs.

Kethrai says, "I'm five foot four in lifts. And I'm probably halfway to qualifying for most guilds."

A large fire flutters slightly.

Gragnel chuckles at Kethrai.

Zynell says, "Kolja."

Zynell nods.

Gragnel teasingly says to Kethrai, "Okay, we need more Prydaen Clerics for sure. Come on in."

Gragnel glances at Zynell.

Gragnel glances at Mazilyn.

Zynell grins.

Gragnel gazes up at the sky.

Aerilia smiles quickly.

Mazilyn beams!

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "You'll have to submit a request form, the Bards are way ahead of you in line."

Gragnel says, "They got drunk and forgot where to stand in the line, they don't count."

Gragnel asks, "Who's after them?"

Kethrai says, "Rangers, I've basically used half their spellbook at one time or other."

Gragnel ponders.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Zynell says, "Still can as a cleric."

Zynell giggles.

Kethrai says to Zynell, "If I want my arms blown off, sure."

Gragnel asks, "They go lost trying to find the line and were distracted by a squirrel. After them is....?"

Kethrai says, "And wouldn't even be able to fix them myself."

Zynell says to Kethrai, "Only takes a little practice."

Aerilia nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai says to Gragnel, "Moon mages. I've actually been one's research assistant. Done all the steps I'd have to do to learn Astral Travel. Except actually being able to do it."

Gragnel ponders.

Zynell says, "I think you have an honoary spot in warrior mages too."

Gragnel asks, "No moons up, Moon Mage couldn't make it to the line because they're too lazy to walk. Next?"

Kethrai nods.

Aerilia glances up at the sky.

Kethrai motions to Zynell.

Zynell says, "I think you would hate being a paladin though."

Gragnel exclaims, "This is a fun game, I think I c ould come up with a reason for every guild!"

Zynell says to Gragnel, "So there is still a chance."

Gragnel nods to Zynell.

Kethrai says, "I played a Paladin guildleader in a play just a month or two ago."

Kethrai asks, "But yes, I would hate it. How do they wear that armor ALL the time?"

Zynell says, "And i think we are just slightly above the barbarian guild."

Zynell nods to Gragnel.

Zynell says, "Magic and all."

Zynell shrugs.

Gragnel says, "Eeesh, yeah. I couldn't do all that armor and weapons and shields and yeah."

Kethrai asks Zynell, "I dunno, you seen those oiled up chests coming in and out of their guildhall?"

Aerilia nods in agreement.

Zynell says to Kethrai, "You could still look at them."

Zynell shrugs.

Gragnel says to Kethrai, "And some of them forge, too. Handy lot they can be."

Kethrai says, "But if I were a Barbarian I could wrestle them in their... mud pits or... whatever they have in there."

The steady rains turn into a driving storm.

A large fire flutters slightly.

Kethrai flails his arms about.

Aerilia says to Kethrai, "You already have an excuse to touch them, though. Don't be swayed."

Zynell giggles at Aerilia.

Kethrai says, "All right, this feels like a sign to head home before the pneumonia sets in."

Medikaus grins.

Mazilyn exclaims, "See ya in a few days!"

Aerilia chuckles.

Kethrai says, "Safe paths, all."

Mazilyn beams at Kethrai!

Gragnel says, "Yup. Good idea."

Aerilia says, "Be well."

Heart Tender Kethrai glides northwest.
