[Acenamacra, The Beach] (108006)

The strip of sand shrinks to nothing as the cliffs advance right to the water's edge. They shelter the little bay from the prevailing winds, stretching northeast in an unbroken line to the horizon, a pencil-thin dividing line between sea and sky. You also see a sleek golden panther with enigmatic violet eyes.

Also here: Cambin who is shining with a dark golden glow, Witchy Woman Kiashandra who is wreathed in blazing fire-roses that smolder into ethereal ash, Ray of Peace Nirisa, Shadow of Chaos Ophiliah, Macabre Pazzlen, Craftswoman Lilustra and Knight of Chaos Davrion who is shining with a dark golden glow.

Obvious paths: southwest, west.

Your corruption fades, revealing you to the world once more.

You grin.

Lilustra gets a silver wand stained with soot from inside her backpack.

Lilustra lays her hands on a silver wand stained with soot and concentrates.

Davrion turns in your direction and salutes you with his hemozyte blade, bringing the weapon downwards in a precise, fluid movement.

You say in a nautical accent, "Well met, mates."

Cambin bows his head and chants a prayer.

Lilustra puts her wand in her backpack.

Lilustra curtsies to you.

You sweep a crisply folded tricorn hat accented with a black gold medallion off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Lilustra at the same time.

Your feet are finally dry.

Nirisa nods to you.

Cambin exclaims to you, "Greetings!"

Cambin gestures.

Cambin's cambrinth prism emits a loud *snap*.

Brilliant, hair-like threads of light form a wispy crown around his head.

Kiashandra nods to you.

You smile at Kiashandra.

Kiashandra grins at you.

The marnet skull clasp on Kiashandra's cloak makes a chirring noise as it nuzzles her collarbone, raising hollow eye sockets in a mournful, begging fashion.

Davrion quietly says to Lilustra, "Let me know when you want me to summon the forge."

You say to Lilustra in a nautical accent, "Your recent work has been superb."

Lilustra smiles at you.

Ophiliah takes off a burnished gold badge carved with "You had me at 'We'll make it look like an accident'".

Davrion taps a gleaming steel badge embossed with "Good morning! I see the assassins have failed" that he is wearing.

Lilustra says, "Pazzlen, Dioe here is the leader of our group."

You say to Pazzlen in a nautical accent, "I am called Dioe. Well met, Pazzlen."

Pazzlen nods to Lilustra.

Pazzlen bows to you.

Pazzlen says in a lofty accent, "Good eve, lord Dioe."

Lilustra giggles.

You say to Pazzlen in a nautical accent, "You are learning from our Empress, and ye will find no more skilled in all the arts and sciences of our age."

Ophiliah says, "Hello one in the shadows. you are welcome here."

You shake your head at Pazzlen.

You hear someone scoff.

You say to Pazzlen in a nautical accent, "I am no lord, mate."

Davrion searches around for a moment.

The air shimmers for a moment as Lasciel's spell ends and she becomes visible once more.

You say in a nautical accent, "Just Dioe."

Davrion points at Lasciel.

Pazzlen nods.

Lasciel points at herself.

Davrion quietly says, "Ello."

You say to Lasciel in a nautical accent, "Ye found it."

Lasciel nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

You say in a nautical accent, "Well met."

Lasciel says, "It was exactly where you said it would be."

Most of the clouds drift away to reveal a fine expanse of stars.

You say in a nautical accent, "Mates, this is Lasciel, the Moon Mage."

You gesture at Lasciel.

Lasciel says, "I just have one of those faces."

Brilliant sparks of rutilant light dance around Nirisa, bathing her in a warm glow.

You finish off the rest of it, and set the cup aside.

Lilustra gets a flask of oil from inside her backpack.

You say to Pazzlen in a nautical accent, "Thank you for assisting Lilustra. We are placing our trust in you. Do not make us regret it."

Lilustra offers Nirisa a lumium ring hauberk.

You just bestowed 3 PIRP points on Pazzlen!

A tiny white dove lifts its head and nuzzles Nirisa's ear before warbling a heart-rending melody.

Lilustra says, "If there is a problem I will clean up my mess."

Nirisa accepts Lilustra's ring hauberk.

Nirisa works her way out of an austere battle odaj of somber black leather.

Lasciel just touched a magma-red grindstone.

Nirisa puts her odaj in her green haversack.

Nirisa removes some lumium scale vambraces from her arms.

Nirisa puts her vambraces in her green haversack.

Nirisa works her way into a lumium ring hauberk.

You smile at Nirisa.

Nirisa nods.

Lilustra says to Nirisa, "I fear I have one more pice to temper but I am not sure how long the forge will last we took longer then I hoped to finish it all."

Nirisa grins at Lilustra.

Nirisa says, "I am grateful to you for your help."

Lilustra asks, "Which town are you heading to?"

You say to Lilustra in a nautical accent, "It is a pleasure to watch you work."

Cambin nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Nirisa says, "Tiger Clan, but I am in no hurry."

Lasciel says, "I can take people to Crossing."

You say to Lasciel in a nautical accent, "Fair winds, Lasciel."

You notice Lasciel attempting to conceal her spell preparations.

Lasciel raises her head skyward, chanting.

You stand near Kiashandra.

Lasciel says, "Thank you."

Lilustra says, "It will only take a few roisen in the forge. If you can spare it."

Kiashandra smiles at you.

Nirisa nods to Lilustra.

Lasciel says, "This was illuminating."

You take the hand of Kiashandra and kiss the back of it.

Nirisa says, "I can."

Nirisa grins at Lilustra.

Lasciel glances up at the sky.

After a few moments she lowers her gaze.

Lasciel says, "This moon is so slow."

Lasciel glances up at the sky.

After a few moments she lowers her gaze.

Lasciel says, "There it is."

You say in a nautical accent, "Fair winds, mates, until we meet again."

Thin, wispy lines of light alternately appear and disappear near Davrion's head.

Lasciel gestures.

A beam of ruby brilliance splits the sky.

Nirisa turns her gaze to the sky for a few moments.

Lilustra says, "Great I will meet you in crossing then."

Cambin waves to you.

You sweep a crisply folded tricorn hat accented with a black gold medallion off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time.

Nirisa nods to Lilustra.

Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.

Swirling shadowy energy rises from your body as you prepare the Eyes of the Blind spell.

You whisper the final word of your spell so that none may notice your effort.

You feel an unsteady, rippling sensation as corruption spreads through and past your body, altering the blind spots of any would-be witness.

You go southwest.
