Your mind hears Valynn thinking, "<to you>" Meet me at the safe spot in gryphons. I'll come for you.
>
> think to valynn Be there shortly.
You are Sir Madigan De'Mascus, a Human.
You have silver eyes. Your silver hair is short and straight, and is worn loose. You have pale skin.
You have a scruffy growth of stubble on your face.
You have a tattoo of a Paladin holding a Therengian standard and a drawn blade, which emits a fierce light as he valiantly faces the darkness on your back.
You have tiny scratches to the right arm.
You are in good shape.
You are wearing some plate greaves, a jadeite gwethdesuan, a kyanite gwethdesuan, a copperleaf dako'gi crossbow set with a bone scrimshaw boltplate, a warrior's tower shield, some gauntlets, some half plate, an indigo gem pouch, a pilgrim's badge, a twilight-blue haversack edged in bronze, a platinum-hued armor pack shot through with narrow strands of steelsilk, a bloodstone pin, a silver pin, a copper pin, a plain paper envelope, a necklace made up of a number of tiny rat skulls sewn onto a brilliant silver thread, a claymore sheath, an etched steel parry stick with black leather straps, an indakar wren charm, a twisted cambrinth armband, an indakar wren charm, an albredine crystal ring and a great helm.

You say, "Well, this could get interesting."

Valynn says, "We will be moving fast to get to the city. The roads are overrun."
J>
You say, "Gads."
J>
Valynn's group went through a gate.
[Lewkar Awg, The Courtyard]
A small cobblestone courtyard serves travelers as a place for a short rest, offering a water trough for the animals and benches out of the wind for their riders. In the east and west walls are gates made of stout timbers strapped with brass. A few stone steps lead up to the door of the round tower in the center of the yard. You also see a shadowy mirror and a blunt tip bolt.
Also here: Valynn, Mercenary Ragefire who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Borff, Pormithius who is in a globe of blue fire, Academian Totenus who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, the body of Wizard Kyudo who is lying down, Perfect Storm Sebastienne who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Rampager Rmel who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Hackett, the body of Arcane Lord Gulphphunger who is lying down.

Valynn stops you from following her.

You hear the ghostly voice of Galain say, "thanks"

Valynn gazes morosely into a shadowy mirror.
You blink.

> go moongate
As you cross the Moongate's threshold you are drawn through to the other side...
[Hawstkaal Road, Through the Forest]
A layer of moss along the road adds spring to the traveler's steps and muffles the sounds of footfalls. Beneath the canopy of trees veiling the area, an almost palpable sense of peace seems to hover in the air, enticing many a sojourner to tarry in this green sanctuary. You also see a small granite boulder, a double-headed hurling axe with a mammoth tusk handle, a leathery grey ghoul, a spear with a polished ebony shaft and a blade engraved with the a lion's head, a stark white skeletal archer, a stark white skeletal archer, a leathery grey ghoul, a leathery grey ghoul, a heavy earthen ballista, a blunt tip bolt, a black Moongate, a dark coral scimitar, a pool of black shadows, a pure white alfar avenger, a white bear that is sitting, a monstrous grizzled war bear that is sitting, a pool of black shadows, a grumpy Shadow Servant, a sly-looking sleek white lynx that is sitting, a ponderous Shadow Servant, a ponderous Shadow Servant, a black bear that is sitting, a grey lynx that is sitting, a pool of grey shadows, a black bear that is sitting and a tiny fiery fissure.

> go moongate
As you cross the Moongate's threshold you are drawn through to the other side...
[Haalikshal Highway, The Sky Road]
The highway takes a sharp bend, turning in a sweeping curve along the almost vertical wall of the mountainside. A landslide in the past must have torn the road from its former path, requiring the hard labor of cutting away the hillside to reroute the road around the gap.

>
You calmly say, "Lead coming."
>
Stoneheart gestures at Sahfra.
Sahfra is forced back quite some distance!
The naphtha in Stoneheart's right hand is blown by the winds toward Sahfra!
The naphtha shatters in an explosion of tiny glass shards and smelly, sticky mixture against Sahfra!

>
(Tyrun got this kill from AE cast when we entered the room)
>
A shower of blazing silver fire pounds down from the sky!
A bolt of holy fire strikes Sahfra in the head, lightly singing her flesh.
The naphtha soaking Sahfra bursts into flame with an explosive *WHOOOMPH*!
* Sahfra is slain before your eyes!

You say, "Nice."

(We move to the Keep)
[Middens, Ulf'Hara Keep]
The gravel way ends here at a massive keep. Its granite walls are free of moss and climbing vines, and all the joints have been freshly patched. The Keep is obviously being worked on and expanded. You crane your neck and look up at the daunting grey walls and turrets of the Ulf'Hara Keep, and can just barely make out dark figures poised along the battlements. You also see a brown bear, a russet bear that is sitting, a giant hairless polar bear, a monstrous grizzled war bear, a black Moongate, a pool of black shadows, a lean bear that is sitting and a steep ramp leading up to the Keep.
Also here: Ascher, Mercenary Ragefire who is surrounded by a lurid green ethereal shield, Academian Totenus who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Patre who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Valynn, Headsman Phii who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Raider Tsinlee, Court Assistant Celitha, Remedy Dianelle, Mister Issus, Sir Dakkurn, Arcane Lord Gulphphunger who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Zozuskar who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Elder Zakuro who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Commander Jairem who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Arcane Doombringer Tropicalo who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Elise who is surrounded by a shimmering shield, Temple Sentinel Liurilias who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Commander Worrclan, Harbinger Mithyl who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Visionist Sionyl who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Scholar Xzean who is surrounded by a luminescent sea-storm green ethereal shield, Screecher Ignifera, Recruitment Officer Rainea, Ysselt, Notable Paschein, Arilana.

>
Valynn looks with concern at Arilana.
>
> look aril
You see Princess Arilana Lasa'Sorvendig, an Elf.
She has pointed ears and sparkling green eyes with lush eyelashes. Her shining black hair has been braided with pearls on silver strands, soft tendrils escaping to frame her face. She has fair skin with a touch of blushing on her high cheekbones. She is slightly under average height for an Elf.
She is adult for an Elf.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a delicate diadem of braided silver dangling a shimmering pink Dalterein diamond, an elegant gown of flowing violet watersilk with a mauve sash embellished with iridescent lavender pearls, a platinum engagement ring displaying a flawless diamond centered between channel-set pearls of blue and white, a braided animite wedding ring bearing a snow-white gladiolus intricately crafted of moon pearls and a pair of silver satin-lined sandals with diamond-dusted lacings.

You crane your neck and look up at the daunting grey walls and turrets of the Ulf'Hara Keep, and can just barely make out dark figures poised along the battlements.

Arilana says, "I saw Lyras fall with mine own eyes."

Arilana says, "We thought it was a battle won toward the end."
>
Caelumia says, "She fell a few times. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that easy."
>
Paschein says, "We had hoped."
>
Caelumia says, "The Hunger grew too strong and now, well."
Phii says, "Though it is possible she's mocking us, her strength did seem somewhat diminished."
J>
Caelumia says, "It's weakened and we need a plan before it recovers."
J>
Arilana says, "Now is not the time to falter."
J>
Arilana says, "Let his death not be in vain."
J>
Caelumia says to Arilana, "I'm open to suggestions to be frank."
J>
Phii says, "If we fail. I'm afraid we must all join him."
J>
Caelumia says, "We'll do worse than join him."
J>
Arilana says, "We won't fail."
J>
Liurilias says, "Failure isn't an option you really want to contemplate."
J>
Liurilias nods to Arilana.
J>
Solvar says, "He himself called our force the distraction, lets at least be pleased to know we more than likely served our part in the plan the divines had given him, and work on the next step."
J>
Xixist nods at Arilana, obviously agreeing with her views.
J>
Caelumia says, "If we fail there won't be any gods left to save us, and no Starry Road left for us to walk."
J>
Ysselt asks Mazrian, "Is it clear?"
J>
Phii says, "I must consult Tusfaov. He may have some advice about how to wage our next confrontation without such...losses."
J>
Tyrun says, "The consequences are clear to me. What is not clear is the next step."
J>
Mazrian tiredly says, "It is clear."
J>
Elise asks, "Could it be possible.... We have more Cleric now - Rakash, Prydaen, and in the Eastern races. The Barrier worked once... Could it not be possible to use it again or perhaps a variant?"
J>
Galain says, "Next time dont laugh at me when I suggest something might be a trap"
J>
Tyrun scowls.
J>
Caelumia says to Elise, "The Hunger is what allowed Lyras to punch through the Barrier in the first place. Another won't hold it. Merely delay the problem."
J>
Mazrian says, "I must...if I'm needed, I'll be in a bunk in the new Tower."
J>
Elise says, "It might give us more time - especially if we can find a way so that the Clerics aren't destroyed when the Barrier fell."
J>
Arilana says, "Thank you for your support, Rainea."
J>
Arilana says, "It was a comfort to have you there."
J>
Jhime says, "This many warrior mages concentrated seems dangerous."

Arilana says, "Burarm, I must send word to his family."
J>
Valynn whispers, "He was Vorclaf's guard, if I'm not mistaken."
J>
Arilana says, "He died a hero as well."
J>
Liurilias says to Arilana, "If there is nothing else we may do to assist you, I believe our Ilithian contingent will be returning to the south."
J>
Caelumia says to Arilana, "It's a good way to die."
J>
Worrclan asks Arilana, "Would ye like me to carry a letter to the Baron?"
J>
Tyler says, "Sahfra had plans for me, apparently."
J>
Arilana says, "I am of hope that our need is over for now."
J>
>
Arilana says, "Though Ilithi and Zoluren will fight this battle again, together."
J>
Valynn whispers, "I think we should head north and let the Baron know of his cousin's passing?"
J>
You nod to Valynn.
J>
Arilana says, "It wasn't meant to be changed."
J>
You say, "Anyone heading to Theren, the Ambassador and I are heading that way."
J>
You say, "Join Valynn is you wish to travel with us."
J>
You bow to Arilana.
J>
Gulphphunger says to Arilana, "Be well, Princess. I will gladly come to the aid of Zoluren--or any province--if trouble stirs again."
J>
Valynn says to Arilana, "I am sorry for your loss."
J>
Arilana says, "Thank you."
J>
(We join on Valynn and head home to Theren_
J>
Traim says, "That was not the fight it should have been, too hasty."
J>
Traim says, "Too fast."
J>
You ask, "How was the group going in organized? Just a rush to attack?"
J>
Traim says, "Yes, most people were just scrambling to keep up with the Prince."
J>
Worrclan says, "The prince was in rush..."
J>
Traim says, "Before we knew it, we were facing Lyras and a very very bad horde."
J>
Heartsfyre says, "pretty much disorganized.. the prince kept dragging off people then goin his own way."
J>
Solvar says, "He was pacing to his demise, and stated himself that our attack itself was merely a distraction"
J>
Worrclan says, "Hasty action makes mistakes."
J>
You say, "Darn waste."
J>
Traim says, "A distraction...a costly one then."
J>
Worrclan says, "He even said he didn't want us or need us to go with em."
You sigh.
J>
Traim nods to you.
J>
Worrclan says, "Lord Eriec is at the keep in the crossing I hear."
J>
Solvar says, "At least be at peace knowing Meraud spirited his soul away from the Hunger."
J>
Valynn asks, "Were any of you there when the Prince fell?"
J>
Elise twitches an ear nervously.
J>
Elise says, "I don't think any of us were the exact moment. We were pushed away."
J>
Solvar says, "I believe we were all banished by Lyras stabbing herself with a sacrificial knife."
J>
Elise says, "I know I was."
J>
Traim nods.
J>
Heartsfyre says, "i got twitched out of the area. twas verah painful even for me."
J>
Worrclan nods to Solvar.
J>
The soft white glow fades from around Valynn.
J>
Traim says, "The corpses were banished outside the wilderness before it happened I think."
J>
Elise says, "I kept being half afraid she'd kill us all and raise us as zombies."
J>
Solvar says, "The mirror that was there saw the Wolf of Meraud rescue the spirit of Vorclaf, however."
>
Worrclan asks, "Ye headed to the keep?"
J>
Valynn nods to Worrclan.
J>
Solvar says, "Elise is a new recruit of the guard. Elise, this is Ambassador Valynn and her husband Madigan, Commander Worrclan and Lieutenant Heartsfyre of the Baron's Own."
J>
Elise asks, "What do you think will happen now?"
J>
Valynn says, "It is hard to say."
J>
Elise says, "I've never been in the Keep before."
J>
Traim says, "I think Lyras will make a risen of the Prince's body and hope to demoralize us."
J>
Valynn frowns.
J>
Valynn says, "Let us hope not."
J>
Heartsfyre nods to Wyndz.
J>
Elise says, "He should be burned to prevent that."
J>
Valynn says, "Greetings Wyndz."
J>
Heartsfyre says, "Greetings Court Advisor."
J>
Wyndz says, "Hi there"
J>
Elise says, "Ma'am."
J>
Traim says, "He might have planned for it, or Meraud might have."
You raise your hand in a quick salute.
Wyndz says, "A very valiant fight....all of you."
J>
Wyndz gives a gracious nod.
J>
Valynn asks, "Will you be speaking with the Baron soon?"
J>
Wyndz says, "I was watching with the Moon Mags"
J>
Wyndz coughs.
J>
Wyndz says, "I hope so."
J>
Wyndz nods to Valynn.
J>
Valynn nods to Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz says, "I thought he would be joining the Prince in battle"
J>
Valynn says, "Then you might let him know about his cousin."
J>
Elise says, "Perhaps it is a good thing he did not."
J>
Wyndz nods to Valynn.
J>
Valynn nods to Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz says, "It's going to be a delicate matter, I'm sure."
J>
Valynn nods to Wyndz.
J>
Heartsfyre nods in agreement.
J>
Valynn says, "Some of these fine folk were with the Prince just before..."
J>
Wyndz asks, "I understand that Meraud guided him, even to the last, yes?"
J>
Valynn sighs.
J>
Heartsfyre nods to Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz gives a slight nod.
J>
Heartsfyre says, "Yes"
J>
Wyndz studies the ground for a moment.
J>
Your mind hears Azurina thinking, "Enwah! I"m glad you're up again"
JR>
Elise says, "I was there."
J>
Wyndz says, "My first duty ..."
Traim asks, "Is it true Meraud is sometimes seen as an old man?"
J>
Traim asks, "With a hoe? Like a farmer?"
J>
Wyndz says, "I'm...not certain"
J>
Wyndz asks, "Would you all like to join me in the Great Hall?"
J>
Valynn says, "A question better asked a holy cleric."
J>
Traim nods.
J>
Elise says, "Errr... Ma'am, I would, but... I should be better dressed for it."
J>
Valynn nods to Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz says, "Seems inappropriate to leave you all standing at the drawbridge"
J>
Elise shifts uncomfortably for a moment.
J>
Wyndz says, "Please..."
J>
Traim asks, "Great Hall, yes, if I won't get thrown in jail?"
J>
Wyndz chuckles at Traim.
J>
Traim fidgets nervously.
J>
Valynn pats Traim on the back.
J>
Traim says, "Mazrian can be a dangerous association here I believe."
J>
Wyndz chuckles.
J>
Wyndz says, "I'm currently at a loss of the right words"
J>
Valynn says, "The Prince seemed....in a daze almost."
J>
Traim nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views.
J>
Knight Templar Baltiziel just arrived.
J>
Wyndz says, "Although the fight you all gave was....without a doubt without comparison to many I've seen"
J>
Valynn says, "It was a bit confusing."
J>
Traim sighs.
J>
Elise says, "It was overwhelming."
J>
Valynn whispers, "Lord Weyato is already in Zoluren extending his condolences."
J>
Traim asks, "Solvar said the Prince said the attack was a distraction didn't he?"
J>
Elise says, "Ys"
J>
Elise says, "I was there for almost all of it."
J>
Valynn nods to Elise.
J>
Elise says, "I distinctly remember him saying that."
J>
Wyndz says, "While the Prince and Lyras faced off...no doubt..."
J>
Traim gazes at Elise.
J>
Traim acts puzzled.
J>
Elise says, "No. This was before."
J>
Elise says, "On the way to the warcamp he said it."
J>
Traim says, "He acted like it too, it makes sense."
J>
Elise says, "I wonder if he knew it was coming."
J>
Wyndz says, "I'm sure the Baron would be proud of you all"
J>
Wyndz nods to Healfdene.
J>
Elise says, "He got a vision in the middle of the walk."
J>
Elise says, "That was.... before he said it was a diversion, I think."
J>
Elise says, "It was on the way to the warcamp."
J>
Healfdene nods to Wyndz.
J>
Elise says, "He was also most insistant that the child abomination be stopped and destroyed."
J>
Elise ponders.
J>
Traim nods to Elise.
J>
Wyndz nods to Elise.
J>
Elise says, "Lyras... was more terrible than I imagined and she was laid low several times."
J>
Wyndz nods at Healfdene, obviously agreeing with his views.
J>
Healfdene asks Elise, "By your songs?"
J>
Healfdene appears to be trying hard not to grin.
J>
Heartsfyre says, "The Prince wanted the child distracted. Then he mentioned that what we was doin was only a distraction.. he had seen most of what would happen.. as to why he would gaze sadly at tyler.. "
J>
Elise says, "She just got back up again. I Lilted during the battle"
J>
[Theren Keep, Great Hall]
Seven columns span the chamber in a vast semi-circle of burnished black marble, the middle three curving around a broad dais while the outer pairs brace high, spectacular balconies. Striking blue-gold banners and silken tapestries proclaim the royal colors of Therengia, but these minor ornaments pale before the tiled dome ceiling and a massive, seven-sided table which dominates the great hall. You also see some scissor chairs positioned around the table, a well-lit corridor, a swinging deobar door and a flower arch of fairy fern twined with white roses, orange blossoms and stephanotis.
Also here: Guard Lieutenant Healfdene, Knight Templar Baltiziel, Lieutenant Heartsfyre, Commander Worrclan, Traim, Elise, Court Advisor Wyndz, Valynn.
Obvious exits: up, out.
J>
Healfdene pats Elise on the back.
J>
Healfdene exclaims to Elise, "I hear ya did a good job, I'm proud of yas!"
J>
Traim asks Heartsfyre, "Yes, what was all that with the empath?"
J>
Traim asks, "Tyler was it?"
J>
Elise says, "Others fell and Lyras used magics I've never seen before"
J>
Heartsfyre nods to Traim.
J>
Elise shifts uneasily, avoiding eye contact with Healfdene.
J>
Elise says, "Sahfra killed Tyler"
J>
Valynn frowns.
J>
Elise says, "She specifically targeted him."
J>
Heartsfyre says, "The Prince has seen Tyler in a few of his last visions.."
J>
Elise says, "I saw it"
J>
Heartsfyre nods to Elise.
J>
Elise says, "She ambushed him in the middle of all of us and killed him.\"
J>
Traim asks, "Did he say what role the healer was supposed to play?"
J>
Elise shakes her head.
J>
Heartsfyre says, "the Child was goin after a lot of the empaths and clerics tho.."
J>
Elise says, "But he wanted Tyler guarded"
J>
Elise says, "He ordered it"
J>
Valynn ponders.
J>
You notice a cloaked figure on one of the balconies, eyeing you intently. Before you discern so much as race or gender, the mysterious stranger fades away like an elusive wraith, dropping a white rose which floats to the ground.
J>
Elise says, "I think he would have had Burarm guard him if Burarm wasn't already guarding the Prince."
J>
Wyndz picks up a long-stemmed white rose.
J>
Wyndz offers Valynn a long-stemmed white rose.
J>
Valynn smiles at Wyndz.
J>
Valynn accepts Wyndz's white rose.
J>
Healfdene screams!
J>
Healfdene exclaims to Elise, "Cover up!"
J>
Wyndz glances at Healfdene.
J>
Valynn says, "I missed the battle for the most part. Triage needed a hand."
J>
Valynn ponders.
J>
Traim says, "It was a slaughter for the most part."
J>
Valynn says, "Or maybe a drag."
J>
Valynn nods to Traim.
J>
Valynn says, "That first triage wasn't a good one."
J>
Elise says, "I had expected to get pulled into Triage. I was going to Lilt there. Instead I was Lilting on the front lines and saw everything."
J>
Healfdene says, "uh-oh"
J>
Elise says, "I've only got the three enchantes."
J>
Valynn says, "Took a bit to get them moved to the bank."
J>
Wyndz wrings her hands.
J>
Valynn sighs.
J>
Elise curls her tail around Healfdene's waist.
J>
Valynn says, "Well..."
J>
Heartsfyre gazes at Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz says, "I'm at a complete loss of the right words"
J>
Wyndz says, "I do apologize"
J>
Valynn nods to Wyndz.
J>
Valynn says, "I'm sort of in shock."
J>
Wyndz nods to Valynn.
J>
Wyndz says, "Indeed"
J>
Elise says, "I know the feeling."
J>
Worrclan makes a grunting noise.
J>
Baltiziel ponders.
J>
Valynn says, "I will remain in Therengia for a few days if you think the Baron might need a report."
J>
Traim asks, "What is the succession situation in Zoluren?"
J>
Wyndz nods to Valynn.
J>
Wyndz quietly says to Valynn, "'Thank you, Valynn"
J>
Valynn says, "Arilana would be regent, I believe."
Elise asks, "Did the Prince have children?"
J>
Wyndz says to Traim, "I'm not sure at this point...but I believe Lord Weyato is currently with her discussing the situation...."
J>
Wyndz nods to Elise.
J>
Heartsfyre says, "the twins."
J>
Valynn nods to Elise.
J>
Healfdene says, "Twins, but they are infants"
J>
Traim nods to Wyndz.
J>
Wyndz says, "But they are very young"
J>
Healfdene grins.
J>
Valynn says, "They are with the Merelew right now."
J>
Elise asks, "The Princess is their mother?"
J>
Elise says, "Then she would take over if I understand furless policies correctly"
J>
Baltiziel says, "she has no blood right to the crown"
J>
Wyndz slowly empties her lungs.
J>
Worrclan says, "It has to be a direct line of blood."
J>
Baltiziel says, "only the children do"
J>
Wyndz nods.
J>
Worrclan nods to Baltiziel.
J>
Healfdene nods.
J>
Traim says, "No offense to the Princess, but she's in a pretty weak political position then."
J>
Elise says, "I meant until the children are grown"
J>
Healfdene says, "I've heard talk of a council being formed"
J>
Baltiziel says, "she will be regent yes.. in their stead"
J>
Valynn says, "From things I've heard, the Princess has a sharp mind."
J>
Baltiziel says, "but only till they are of age and claim their right"
J>
Valynn says, "But we shall see what the future holds."
J>
Healfdene asks, "She's refused any military aid from Therengia if I understood her right?"
J>
Wyndz says, "Thus far"
J>
Elise asks, "Why would she do that?"
J>
Elise says, "She accepts aid from Ilithi."
J>
Wyndz says, "We'll see..."
J>
Valynn nods.
J>
Valynn says, "If you will all please excuse me..."
J>
You raise your hand in a quick salute.
