Keendra gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer. Tirost smiles at Etasia. Illiya taps a tall fluted glass of bubbly gold-swirled pink champagne atop a picnic cloth. Etasia says, "There is champagne on cloth and other drinks." Tirost warmly says, "Thank you." Gwenddolyn winks at Tirost. You get a dark glass snifter of Dragon's Spine Winter Ice wine from atop a gingham picnic cloth edged in heartstring lace. Raising her sparkling champagne to Tirost, Etasia gives him a toast. Valynn grins at Aaiyaah. Raising your ice wine to Tirost, you give him a toast. Cheers! Tirost grins at Gwenddolyn. Etasia hugs Tirost, who wraps his arms around Etasia with a warm smile. Raising his Howling Coyote rum to Tirost, Darkewolff gives him a toast. Tirost hugs Etasia, who wraps her arms around Tirost with a warm smile.

Etasia grins at Tirost, her dimples flashing into view. You take a sip of the wine. You take a sip of the wine. Valynn winks at Aaiyaah. Jaelia takes a sip of her champagne. Aaiyaah chuckles. Medikaus closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. You take a sip of the wine. Valynn nods to Aaiyaah. Darkewolff says to Tirost, "Well done! I am sure Gauthus is appreciative of your skils." You take a sip of the wine. The unusual taste of flavors is strong yet very smooth. Your entire body starts to tingle and your knees grow weak for a moment as you swallow it. Obviously the work of a master! Darkewolff searches around for a moment. Tirost smiles at Darkewolff. Onara nods. Etasia says to Tirost, "Congrats." Luna takes a sip of her champagne. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Darkewolff grins slowly. You say to Tirost, "Yes, congratulations." Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Imroth takes a sip of his whiskey. Tirost smiles. Valynn begins chortling at Aaiyaah. You exclaim, "And with that... thank you all for joining me here this evening. We've got a fair bit to discuss!" Onara waves to Aaiyaah. You release the clasp on your astronomer's journal and open it. Elurora grins at you. Meserios says to Tirost, "Huge accomplishment, ye should be proud. Well done." Kethrai gazes silently at you. Aaiyaah waves to Onara. Dantia gives a slight nod. Meserios praises Tirost. Myrable smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Myrable takes a sip of her champagne.

Jaelia grins at Illiya. Darkewolff takes a sip of his rum. You say, "At the last vision meeting, I related the following vision..." Tirost grins at Etasia. Medikaus takes a sip of his brandy. Aaiyaah grins at Madigan. Sarcio takes a sip of his wine. You say, "I sensed a headache forming and watched the heavy traffic of a busy market. A robed figure calmly walked over to a woman haggling with a vendor over a sack of turmeric and interrupted to inquire about the price of cinnamon. The vendor quickly cited a price, and the robed figure nodded and continued walking. The vendor shrugged and returned to the exchange with the woman, but she appeared lost in thought. Replacing the sack of turmeric, she selected a bundle of cinnamon sticks and paid the vendor. The robed figure vanished into the crowd, and the vision faded." Etasia grins at Tirost, her dimples flashing into view. Sarcio takes a sip of his wine. Valynn gazes at you. Anuril yawns expansively. Elizzibiana takes a sip of her ambrosia. Luna gazes thoughtfully at you. Kethrai gives Anuril a gentle poke in the ribs. Anuril coughs. You say, "Now, more recently, I've seen this new vision..." Elizzibiana takes a bite of the legs. Sarcio takes a sip of his wine. Aaiyaah holds his hand out towards Vaddon for a highfive. Pyppa lets out a hearty cheer for Vaddon! Zalinyar beams in loving admiration at Vaddon! Zalinyar smooches Vaddon all over his face. You say, "I sensed a headache forming and watched as a team of lumberjacks felled a large tree. After hours of work, several large sections of trunk had been bound and lashed together and attached to heavy carts pulled by a team of oxen. Braying and snorting, they struggled against the soft ground and pulled the heavy load onto a gravel road and began the slow trek out of the forest. After some time, the oxen approached a fork in the road and began to veer left. A robed figure waited by the side of the road and asked the driver for directions. The driver stopped and squinted into the distance, swatting a large fly from his neck. Shaking his head, he instead steered right. The robed figure continued down the road." Vaddon and Aaiyaah highfive each other. Jaelia just hugged Pyppa. Jaelia hugs Vaddon, getting a smile in return. Jaelia hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Jaelia with a warm smile. Medikaus leans on Pyppa. You say, "The team made an early camp in a nearby clearing, fishing in a small stream. As the sun set, a distant glow flickered, and the team peered into the distance, watching their destination burn. The vision faded." Pyppa beams at Jaelia! Zalinyar hugs Jaelia, getting a smile in return. Vaerek waves to Zalinyar. Pyppa hugs Jaelia, getting a smile in return. Onara smiles at Zalinyar, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Pyppa grins at Medikaus. Zalinyar beams at Vaerek! Medikaus grins. Zalinyar waves to Vaerek. Elurora just hugged Pyppa. You say, "Again a headache, and the robed figure who appears to be able to make people change their decisions." Gwenddolyn asks, "They are rebuilding a city?" Sarcio closes his eyes and gets a look of intense pleasure on his face. Gwenddolyn says, "Perhaps throne city." Jaelia nods to you. You notice a sand-hued lynx with a tufted black-tipped tail sniff at Zalinyar for a moment. Vaddon waves. Zalinyar sticks out her tongue and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbt" from her lips! Zalinyar raises her voice in merry laughter. Onara says, "Wouldn't that be lovely." Onara smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Pyppa hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return. Valynn frowns. Illiya ponders. Luna takes a sip of her champagne. Gwenddolyn says, "That is what the lumber must be for." Elurora takes a sip of her milk. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Valynn grins at Aaiyaah. Dantia takes a sip of her coffee. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. You say, "I'm less concerned about the lumber, though it may be relevant to what's going to happen, and more to the robed figure apparently manipulating minds." 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 Jaelia merely to rejoin with their parent on the other side. Dantia nods to Etasia. Zalinyar lets out a sigh of contentment. Imroth says, "Robed figure changing people's minds." Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Gwenddolyn nods. Valynn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Anuril nods to you. Imroth nods in agreement. Tirost chuckles at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah grins at Tirost. You say, "I'm also unsure of whether it was the original destination that was burning, or the new one." Gwenddolyn says, "Must be an influential magician of sorts." Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Jaelia takes a sip of her champagne. Dantia grins at Etasia. Gwenddolyn asks, "Trickery?" Jaelia takes a sip of her tea. Onara winks at Darkewolff. Darkewolff grins like an idiot. Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Karthor asks, "Steerin' them toward some desired outcome, I s'pose. Bein' a vision, it's probly fer some nefarious purpose. Ya don't get benevolent guidin' figures in these things, eh?" Zalinyar says, "Trickery dickory dock." You ask, "If it was the original destination, the robed figure might have been helping them. If it's the new destination... possibly they were sent that way because the wood will be needed in the wake of the fire?" Tirost grins at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah chuckles at Tirost. Tirost grins at Karthor. Gwenddolyn says, "So foresight." Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Imroth exclaims, "They are just bringing more wood to the bonfire!" Luna takes a sip of her champagne. Myrable takes a sip of her champagne. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Imroth. Kethrai says, "I'm interested about the detail of the fly biting the driver's neck right around the time he changed his mind. Seems strange to have that much detail if it doesn't have import." You say to Gwenddolyn, "Foresight, or arson." Valynn nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Ezerak nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Gwenddolyn says, "Ahh so the fly could have given them something." Anuril shakes his head. Anuril says, "Nothing bit the merchant." Imroth says, "The fly is strange." You say, "Flies are rather common in the presence of oxen, but yes, it did stand out." Anuril says, "In the prior vision." Jaelia says, "It isn't the just chaning the mind that concerns me. They are chaning a journey, and changing a potential destionation, and potentially destroying the origin point or final point. That has some strong metaphorical potential too which is scary." Valynn quietly says, "Or perhaps it was just enough distraction for the stranger to plant his idea." Kethrai says, "Flies can often be found around dead or dying things." Gwenddolyn says, "Only a few robed figures I can think of." Valynn nods. Anuril casually observes the area. Illiya closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance. Luna nods to Kethrai. Valynn nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost says to Gwenddolyn, "That's a good observation you made: the robbed figure's actions could be representing someone with foresight or foreknowledge." Gwenddolyn says, "Firulf." Medikaus takes a sip of his brandy. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Onara raises an eyebrow. Jaelia takes a sip of her tea. Anuril dryly asks Tirost, "Did someone at dinner that night have a turmeric allergy?" Tirost chuckles at Anuril. Zalinyar giggles at Anuril. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Onara takes a sip of her wine. You exclaim, "I suppose that could be possible!" Tirost says to Anuril, "Maybe! The scale of the events is very different, but maybe it was something along those lines." Dantia grins at Aaiyaah. Onara leans against a large curving diamondwood bar. Anuril makes a grunting noise. Gwenddolyn says, "So predictions perhaps, someone good at foresight." Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Gwenddolyn says, "Or making them come true." Zalinyar smiles at Gwenddolyn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Aaiyaah nods at Dantia, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn winks at Zalinyar. Dantia chuckles at Aaiyaah. Kethrai says, "It wasn't long ago we were having visions about a woman fascinated by two branching pathways informed by a decision being made. Not necessarily such a mundane one, but..." Zalinyar grins at Gwenddolyn, her dimples flashing into view. Myrable says, "I have not seen any visions in a long time, but I can be lax predicting. I am just concerned about the rage I keep feeling with every cast." Kethrai says, "But cigar-smoking lady doesn't seem like the type to enrobe and hood herself." Meserios nods to Myrable. Onara pats Myrable on the back. Onara takes a sip of her wine. You nod to Kethrai. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Ezerak nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. You say, "Yes, she seems to move around with rather little concern for much of anything." Ezerak says to Kethrai, "She doesn't seem the sort." Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Aaiyaah grins at Dantia. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Dantia grins at Aaiyaah. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Luna takes a sip of her champagne. Imroth takes a sip of his whiskey. Aaiyaah laughs! You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Aaiyaah nods at Dantia, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn asks, "The only place that burned that needs rebuilding was sicle grove, so something else my burn?" Gwenddolyn says, "Will burn." Valynn grins at Hanryu. Tirost nods to Hanryu. Imroth nods to Gwenddolyn. Hanryu leans on Valynn. Hanryu nods to Tirost. Valynn smiles at Hanryu. Madigan smiles at Hanryu. Madigan shakes Hanryu's hand. Jaelia takes a sip of her tea. Jaelia beams at Lileath! Jaelia hugs Lileath, getting a smile in return. You say, "The next vision might be related to one that was seen previously, although it doesn't directly show that..." Onara takes a sip of her wine. Elizzibiana chuckles at Aaiyaah. Lileath hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Lileath with a warm smile. You say, "I wandered through a bustling stable filled with sound and labors. Several youths ran to and fro, hauling bales of hay or running curry brushes over strong and healthy-looking horses. A kindly stablehand tried to soothe a skittish horse, but the forest rustled and the birds went quiet. With a glance of concern, the stablehand scanned the tree line. The horse's eyes went wide, whites glaring as they flared their nostrils and pinned back their ears. The vision faded." Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Elizzibiana chuckles at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah grins at Elizzibiana. You say, "The rustling forest could be caused by the approach of the creature mentioned at the last visions meeting. Slug like, with an orb and spreading decay ahead of itself." Elizzibiana leans on Aaiyaah. Anuril nods. Gwenddolyn asks, "Horse clan?" Onara takes a sip of her wine. Tirost nods to you. You say, "I'd think that would certainly upset the horses. Though there are many other things that could, as well." Valynn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Anuril takes a long pull from his tiny barrel. His eyes half-close in contentment as they do so, his shoulders relaxing as he gives a barely-audible sigh of bliss. Gwenddolyn says, "So something from south of shard." Imroth says, "Something's coming." Dantia takes a sip of her coffee. Karthor nods at Imroth, obviously agreeing with his views. Aaiyaah nods at Elizzibiana, obviously agreeing with her views. You say to Gwenddolyn, "There are stables all over, so we might need a bit more to go on than that." Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Elizzibiana laughs! Onara grins, revealing her dimples. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Zalinyar folds her arms across her chest. Luna takes a sip of her champagne. Onara leans against a large curving diamondwood bar. Gwenddolyn says, "There are not that many stable hands, most stables are desolate." Gwenddolyn chuckles. Aaiyaah cleans the slate. Zalinyar says, "Means no more World Jousting Tournament." Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Aaiyaah writes on his writing slate. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Zalinyar. Dantia takes off a silver blooming dahlia charm with faceted pink diamond accents. Jaelia takes a sip of her tea. Illiya takes a deep breath, looking serene and determined. Aaiyaah shows Zalinyar his writing slate. Gwenddolyn says, "Or team joust." Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Aaiyaah grins at Zalinyar. Karthor says, "Maybe we'll just have to joust ridin' the slug-things." Zalinyar looks at Gwenddolyn and shrugs. Karthor looks at Zalinyar and shrugs. Buzan blinks. You say, "Coming out of the Dark Hand definitely remains a possibility, though, since there's so many strange things that could arise from there." Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Dantia grins at Etasia. Etasia grins at Dantia, her dimples flashing into view. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Luna takes a sip of her wine. Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Darkewolff grins slowly. Gwenddolyn says, "I have a long history about that upcoming at the next emerald knight field report meeting." Madigan grins at Etasia. Tirost says, "It certainly represents fear, and the reaction even of the birds suggests it is large or exudes some other power." Gwenddolyn nods to you. Jaelia says, "Animals often have an innate sense of dangers befor many mortals." You nod. Elurora nods to Jaelia. Kethrai says, "I suspect it isn't Horse Clan, though. They seem to let their horses roam fairly free. This feels more like a stable in a bustling city." Anuril takes a long pull from his tiny barrel. His eyes half-close in contentment as they do so, his shoulders relaxing as he gives a barely-audible sigh of bliss. Jaelia says, "I almost wonder if the Horse is aware of something terrifying those around them are not." Luna nods at Jaelia, obviously agreeing with her views. Etasia appears to be trying hard not to grin. Dantia closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance. Darkewolff nods to Onara. Elurora nods to Kethrai. Onara smiles at Rileos, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Valynn nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Madigan smiles at Rileos. Ayrell smiles at Rileos. Gwenddolyn nods to Rileos. Vaddon asks, "What about the trader outpost in Blackthorn Canyon? The trader outpost?" Etasia smiles at Rileos, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Onara nods to Darkewolff. Elurora grins at Rileos. Ezerak waves to Rileos. Rileos raises two fingers to his brow in a quick hand salute. Valynn grins at Rileos. Dantia smiles at Rileos. Dantia touches Rileos with a confident grace. Imroth nods to Rileos. Zalinyar nods to Vaddon. Etasia snaps to attention and hails Rileos with a crisp hand salute. Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. Luna takes a sip of her wine. Jaelia beams at Aaiyaah! Imroth takes a sip of his whiskey. You say to Vaddon, "A possibility, and there's woods nearby." Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Valynn smiles at Aaiyaah. Pyppa closes her eyes for a moment and grows still. Zalinyar says, "Anything that has to do with horses, has to do with jousting, Traders, or Paladins. eww." Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Darkewolff smiles at Pyppa. Kethrai says, "Crossing's stable is right by the woods. Still doesn't necessarily narrow it down." Gwenddolyn chuckles at Zalinyar. Pyppa beams at Darkewolff! Gwenddolyn says, "And heavy plate." Gwenddolyn winks at Zalinyar. Zalinyar giggles at Gwenddolyn. Zalinyar applauds. Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. You say, "And now we start getting to the visions that seem like they might be related to the recent happenings with magic..." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Elurora gazes at you. Gwenddolyn frowns. Anuril takes a long pull from his tiny barrel. His eyes half-close in contentment as they do so, his shoulders relaxing as he gives a barely-audible sigh of bliss. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. You say, "But first, while I'm sure most of you are familiar with what's going on, I'll give a brief recap for anyone who does need to get caught up." Elizzibiana takes a sip of her ambrosia. Elizzibiana takes a bite of the legs. Aaiyaah grins at Illiya. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Etasia gazes at you. Illiya grins at Aaiyaah, her dimples flashing into view. You say, "For years now, spellcasters have had occasional experiences where, when casting a spell, the mana streams being manipulated would behave in odd, mysterious ways. But it was rare." Gwenddolyn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Imroth says, "When did that start? Feels like a long time ago." Darkewolff smiles at Imroth. You say, "More recently, such experiences began to increase a bit in frequency, and also started including elements of synesthesia, having strange sensory experiences as well as the mana generally behaving oddly." Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. Anuril says to Imroth, "Must be close to a decade." Urbaj nods to Anuril. Kethrai nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views. Imroth nods to Anuril. Imroth bows his head and chants a prayer. Kethrai says, "Maybe even longer, but that's when we started cataloguing them." You nod. Imroth takes a sip of his whiskey. Illiya taps an indurium phoenix with eyes of canary diamond that she is holding. Etasia offers Madigan some Kygar's roast coffee. Madigan bows to Etasia. Etasia smiles at Madigan, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Dantia takes off a silver blooming dahlia charm with faceted pink diamond accents. You say, "Then, even more recently, the experiences changed from odd sensory experiences, to the mana behaving in ways that give a sense of anger or violence." Gwenddolyn nods to you. Rileos takes a sip of his coffee. Kethrai nods. Luna takes a sip of her wine. Myrable takes a sip of her champagne. You say, "And for the past little while they've become more and more frequent, until within the past few days it seems to have become a constant." Gwenddolyn says, "Yes a big change in the past few days." Medikaus takes a sip of his brandy. Buzan nods in agreement. Dantia grins at Etasia. Ezerak whispers something to Ayrell. Vaerek says, "Every time for me." Myrable nods at Vaerek, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Ayrell nods to Ezerak. Anuril takes a sip of his reserve. Gwenddolyn says, "I have never seen rivulets of black in holy mana, just specks." Madigan takes a sip of his coffee. You say, "That pattern seems like something is changing exponentially, which means we might be seeing something even more impactful soon. A long, slow build up, but then suddenly increasing rapidly." Ezerak nods to Ayrell. Elurora says to Gwenddolyn, "Again, exhale on your soulstone and check your soul pool." Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Rileos raises his hand. Luna takes a sip of her wine. Gwenddolyn says, "It isn't that, my soul remains pristine." You nod to Rileos. Ezerak whispers something to Elurora. Rileos says, "What if we just gave magic the day off or somethin? It has to be pretty tired with all the work its been doin...forever." Elurora whispers something to Ezerak. Elurora flashes a quick grin at Ezerak. Ezerak grins at Elurora, his dimples flashing into view. Anuril smirks at Rileos. Buzan grins at Rileos. Dantia chuckles. Imroth chuckles at Rileos. Madigan smiles at Rileos. Vaerek glances up at the sky. After a few moments he lowers his gaze. Ayrell ponders. Etasia grins at Rileos, her dimples flashing into view. Kethrai asks Rileos, "You gonna go door to door and ask people?" Buzan says, "Just stop using it for a day." Onara takes a sip of her champagne. You say to Rileos, "It's not actually a bad idea, but actually arranging it would be the tricky part." Rileos looks at Kethrai and shrugs. Gwenddolyn says, "Not a bad idea, to see if it reduces it instead of increasing, maybe with less magic being casted it would." Onara grins at Darkewolff, her dimples flashing into view. Etasia asks, "Ohhh, voluntary ?" Dantia gives a slight nod. Etasia winces. Darkewolff chuckles. Darkewolff asks, "Should everyone stay in their homes as well?" Gwenddolyn says, "Perhaps we could control the outcome somehow." Imroth grins at Darkewolff. Elurora chuckles at Darkewolff. Darkewolff smiles at Imroth. Buzan asks, "What if we don't have a home?" Onara raises an eyebrow in Darkewolff's direction. Buzan peers quizzically at Darkewolff. Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Darkewolff says, "Streets are all yours." Illiya exclaims, "Stop using magic!" Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Illiya flails her arms about. Darkewolff smiles at Buzan. Illiya says, "I'd have to stock up on herbs then." Etasia ponders thoughtfully Meserios exclaims, "It's especially concerning because as violent as they have become, there is something very tantalizing about these surges. I fear that some may find them a little too... exciting. There could be something immanently powerful at our disposal, but if only it weren't all so volatile and unsettling!" Vaerek blinks at Illiya. Valynn looks at Aaiyaah, obviously trying not to grin. Buzan chuckles. Darkewolff asks Buzan, "Or ask the Ravens for help?" Meserios tugs at the tip of his beard distractedly. Kethrai gives Meserios a slight nod. Etasia blinks at Darkewolff. You say, "And now, with that background, and keeping the increasing violence demonstrated by the mana streams, let me share a recent vision..." Zalinyar raises her voice in merry laughter. Meserios appears to be listening intently for something. You say, "Keeping in mind that violence, I mean." Anuril dryly says, "You can't even get adventurers to stop casting spells during a meeting, let alone for a whole day." Medikaus takes a sip of his brandy. Anuril casually observes the area. Zalinyar just blew Darkewolff a kiss. Karthor chuckles. Anuril takes a sip of his reserve. Gwenddolyn grins at you, her dimples flashing into view. You say, "I found myself wandering the streets of Throne City, a cold mist settling over the cobblestones. I saw torchlight flickering through a nearby sewer grate. A series of loud explosions rocked several buildings, heavy stones grinding and raining downward. I covered my face in terror, and several large boulders twisted and crumbled as they fell, contorted and cast aside as they plummeted through savagely twisted lines of magical energy. A warning bell began to clang, and a net of crisscrossed magical barbs writhed through the city. I ran and tripped over a mangled corpse, with shattered bones protruding through the flesh, subluxated joints bent oddly, and widespread bruising blossoming over spongy skin. A scream pierced the air, and the vision faded." Etasia chuckles at Anuril. Buzan grins at Anuril. Darkewolff smirks. Illiya grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost softly says to Meserios, "I sensed that too." Meserios nods to Tirost. Imroth winces. Ezerak nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views. Gwenddolyn says, "Ahh, a cold mist, that is concerning, definitely Sieben, which is ocular." Jaelia says, "That is terrifying." Valynn blanches. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Medikaus takes a sip of his absinthe. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Luna takes a sip of her wine. Anuril ponders. Vaerek glances up at the sky. After a few moments he lowers his gaze. Illiya says, "This vision was more specific on location." Tirost nods to Illiya. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. You say, "So, I think the logical path from the way mana is acting to writhing magical barbs causing major damage to a city isn't too hard to follow." Anuril asks, "Torches in the sewer?" Valynn nods to Illiya. Gwenddolyn says, "So the ocular are interested in throne city." Rileos nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Illiya says, "The Spell Library is there." Tirost says, "Terrifying, honestly. A mana catastrophe." Gwenddolyn nods. Zalinyar blanches. Valynn nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn says, "Yes the spell library." You say, "A mana storm, perhaps." Vaerek scans the sky, looking for portents and insight. Zalinyar seriously says, "I'm sorry, but that is down right gruesome." Elurora grins at Ezerak. Vaddon nods to Zalinyar. Kethrai quirks one ear sideways, glancing at Gwenddolyn in confusion. Rileos says, "Yeah, I don't know what subluxatin is but I'm usin my joints so that's off the table." Kethrai asks Gwenddolyn, "Sieben the... Gorbesh god? How does that have to do with the Ocular?" Anuril ponders. Gwenddolyn says, "There must be something else in throne city they are after." Illiya says, "It could be interpreted metaphorically too." Gwenddolyn says, "Sieben created the ocular." Ezerak chuckles at Elurora. Aaiyaah nods to Valynn. Gwenddolyn says, "He is the father of the ocular." Dantia takes a sip of her coffee. Gwenddolyn says, "He is the man in the mists." Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Kethrai ponders. Valynn folds her arms across her chest. Valynn leans against some sturdy bookcases packed with reference material. You say to Illiya, "It could be a metaphorical disaster related to something happening over our control of mana. But an actual mana storm or something similar is capable of causing major physical havoc as well." Dantia grins at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Illiya nods to you. Tirost asks, "Is there a known historical disaster that took place in Throne City caused by magical energy?" Gwenddolyn says, "Perhaps it is something that whatever fell from the sky caused." Etasia says to you, "That makes sense...." Ezerak whispers something to Ayrell. Etasia smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Karthor says, "Well, sounds like there's a place to go pokin' around fer clues now, if nothin' else." Valynn quietly asks Karthor, "In the sewers?" Ayrell smirks at Ezerak. Valynn raises an eyebrow. Karthor says to Valynn, "Of Throne City." Anuril says, "It's a heist. Mist means it's night time, torches in the sewer is a surreptitious endeavour, the explosion was a means of gaining access to something guarded." Etasia nods at Karthor, obviously agreeing with his views. Valynn nods at Karthor, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost says to Karthor, "I've always wondered about the custodians there. They are similar to those in Zengmodaleth." Urbaj says, "I visited Throne a couple days ago, after hearing of this vision. It seemed unchanged, including mana disturbances." You say, "It might not be limited to Throne City, but the vision does suggest taking a look there might be worthwhile." Urbaj says, "But more eyes would surely help." Luna takes a sip of her wine. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Buzan asks, "Field trip?" Buzan ponders. You quietly say, "I just hope it doesn't mean it's the guild up to something causing this..." Karthor says to Tirost, "Oy, I didn't know there even were custodians there. Not a place I spend much time." Kethrai says, "The crisscrossed magical barbs could be part of the attack, a negative side effect, or a... defense mechanism? Not sure what the custodians scattered through the city are capable of." Tirost nods to Karthor. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Anuril nods to Kethrai. Imroth ponders. Madigan asks, "Miskton, or anyone, has something of this nature happened in our history that we know of?" Meserios nods to Kethrai. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Madigan says, "The only instance I can recall of that much violence with magic was when the gweth mines blew up." Illiya asks, "Wasn't there a day magic died?" You say, "The long lead up of strangeness with magic, no, I don't think so, but there have been mana storms recorded before." Etasia ponders. Gwenddolyn says, "There must be something else there, perhaps what the Prophets of G'nar Peth are guarding." Vaerek glances outside a moment. Anuril ponders. Urbaj says, "Mana storms, preceeded by "mana buckling," happened after the battle of Battle of Sorvendig's Stand with Lyras." Meserios says, "The net of magic.... what if it was already there before the explosions? What if it was being harnessed in an attempt to protect the city? But the threat came from within, or rather, from below." Kethrai says, "Definitely all sorts of things in Throne City that someone might want to steal." Zalinyar says to Gwenddolyn, "Or the rose sisters." Rileos nods to Urbaj. Zalinyar looks at Gwenddolyn and shrugs. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Vaerek glances outside a moment. Anuril nods to Kethrai. Etasia asks, "There was that terrible accident there right?" Gwenddolyn says, "They arent in throne city." Gwenddolyn grins at Zalinyar, her dimples flashing into view. Rileos takes a sip of his coffee. Darkewolff takes a sip of his rum. Urbaj says, "With Lyras, the mana buckling was a result of extraplanar necromantic corruption." Onara leans against a large curving diamondwood bar. Rileos clears his throat. Zalinyar says to Gwenddolyn, "I know that. I was just commenting on secrets." Zalinyar looks at Gwenddolyn and shrugs. Dantia quietly says to Madigan, "Necromancers, time to wake up." Dantia grins at Madigan. Karthor chuckles. Anuril nods to Etasia. Anuril snorts at Dantia. Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Etasia smiles at Anuril, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Urbaj says, "But the Lyras stuff is all before I was born. I'm sure others here are better versed in those events." Madigan grunts at Dantia. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Medikaus takes a sip of his absinthe. Karthor says to Dantia, "Methinks we had 'im at "Throne City", whatwith Therengia bein' involved." Gwenddolyn asks, "That is interesting, about the mana disruption that caused, perhaps something else is afoot much worse than Lyras?" Dantia chuckles at Karthor. Darkewolff shakes his head. Urbaj says, "Something that's been building for at least a decade." Darkewolff smirks to himself. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Tirost frowns thoughtfully. Zalinyar peers quizzically at Darkewolff. Onara raises an eyebrow in Darkewolff's direction. You say, "There's another vision that might be related as well, though not directly to the mana streams themselves." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Valynn gazes at you. Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at you. Zalinyar asks Darkewolff, "Do you have a theory?" You say, "Everything went black, a vast emptiness swallowing all sound. In the distance, two blue eyes blinked in confusion and looked around, sliding over me. Illuminating the creature's clawed but gentle hands, specks of blue light drifted upward, lodging themselves in the sky and shining in place. Their light revealed the creature, who, wrapped in billowing shadow and with wings folded against its back, walked slowly, spreading more soft blue light above. I watched for some time, and the creature smiled softly. The vision faded." Zalinyar smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Darkewolff says to Zalinyar, "I do." Zalinyar smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. You say, "A more draconic appearance than in many reported sightings, but the gentle hands with blue light were a sign of the Heralds." Zalinyar asks Darkewolff, "And pray tell, share with us that theory?" Medikaus stares up with a look of wonder. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Darkewolff gestures at you. Illiya says, "Oh very interesting." Tirost nods to you. Gwenddolyn says, "The only god I know who has blue eyes is Divyash." Gwenddolyn says, "So perhaps the heralds will come and stop the sorcery." Ayrell nods politely to Shashra. Valynn quietly says to herself, "At the least, there is a kindly presence." Imroth asks, "Sort of like a shadowling?" Elurora nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views. Dantia takes a sip of her coffee. Kethrai asks, "Kindly, both Herald and Dragon, could be Glacis?" Aaiyaah smiles at you as he patiently enlightens you further on the practice of Perception. Aaiyaah takes a sip of his whiskey. Darkewolff whispers something to Zalinyar. Darkewolff grins slowly. Valynn smiles at Kethrai. Gwenddolyn says, "I don't know if glacis has blue eyes." You say, "I don't have any personal experience with any of the Heralds, so I'm entirely reliant on what I've seen written down." Dantia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Etasia takes a sip of her champagne. Karthor says, "Confusion in the eyes, eh? Sounds like somethin' gettin' its bearings after a slumber or somesuch." Gwenddolyn says, "Interesting, if Lanival suddenly reappeared, but he had grey eyes." Valynn nods to Karthor. Gwenddolyn says, "Perhaps it is glacis who brings him." Anuril nods to Karthor. Zalinyar nods. Darkewolff grins slowly. Valynn grins at Darkewolff. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Jaelia beams at Aerivyn! Aerivyn grins at Jaelia. Tirost says, "All of my senses right now around magic are violent, destructive - but in the vision the creature seems to bring peace." Gwenddolyn says, "I think the herald will definitely be more likely to come first to stop sorcery." You say, "If magic really is going to go out of control, that does seem like the kind of thing that might get the attention of the Heralds again." Gwenddolyn says, "Heralds." Aerivyn quietly says to Jaelia, "I'm just a little late..." Karthor nods. Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Gwenddolyn nods to you. Jaelia says to Aerivyn, "You've been keeping your ears open, thank you for your work." Aerivyn nods politely to Jaelia. Madigan says to Tirost, "I was pondering that juxtaposition as well sir. Very opposite ends of the extreme with those two visions." Ezerak waves to Aerivyn. Aerivyn waves to Ezerak. Tirost nods to Madigan. Aerivyn waves to Ayrell. Ayrell smiles at Aerivyn. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Darkewolff grins slowly. Tirost glances at Aerivyn. Onara smiles at Darkewolff, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Valynn clucks her tongue and shakes her head. Gwenddolyn says, "Which means no raising again." Ayrell smiles at Shashra. Valynn grins at Darkewolff. Aaiyaah grins at Ayrell. Ezerak doffs his top hat at Shashra. Gwenddolyn says, "Time to rebuild our favors to 100 for a war." Meserios winces. Ayrell chuckles at Aaiyaah. Dantia chuckles. Aerivyn smiles at Tirost. Gwenddolyn winks at Dantia. Etasia gazes at Gwenddolyn. You say, "And then I have one more vision to discuss this evening, which may or may not be related to what's going on, but seems to be of possible concern regardless." Kethrai gazes silently at you. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. You say, "Diffuse gas floated in sinuous loops, twisting and billowing against the gentle but persistent force of a string of stars. Softly illuminated, the whorls ebbed and flowed along curious field lines, splitting along vertices. As the gas wound and spiraled, it revealed the dimensions of an otherwise unseen geometric array, slightly undulating and buckling outward. A large bulge squirmed within the structure, recoiling as it approached the perimeter, and the stars sang and flickered. The vision faded." Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. You say, "The movement of the gas isn't that far off from the mana streams, but doesn't have the shows of violence we're seeing lately." Gwenddolyn asks, "A prisoner in a building in the stars?" Illiya ponders. Rileos glances outside a moment. You say, "It seems like whatever is in that array, it's something being held in there by the stars, but trying to escape." Etasia says, "Seems a whole lottsa troubles is coming this way......." Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Gwenddolyn says, "That doesnt sound promising." Kethrai says, "The geometric array sounds like starlight magic, crystal and the like." Onara takes a sip of her wine. Valynn nods to Etasia. Gwenddolyn nods to Kethrai. Illiya nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. Gwenddolyn says, "Blame the traders." Etasia nods to Valynn. Illiya says, "I was thinking that too." Elizzibiana says to Shashra, "Nido'a." Tirost thoughtfully says, "Something has been sealed away, or blocked." Rileos says, "Did that weird thing in the sky ever explode or anythin? I ain't looked in a while." Dantia chuckles at Rileos. Kethrai quietly says to Rileos, "Yeah, we blew it up." Etasia nods to Rileos. Gwenddolyn says, "It fell near shard." Anuril smirks at Rileos. Ezerak nods to Rileos. Rileos nods. Gwenddolyn says, "I mean Leth." Onara takes a sip of her wine. Karthor says, "It didn't have permission, so we stopped it." Illiya grins at Karthor, her dimples flashing into view. Dantia laughs at Karthor. You say, "Sealed away, but if the array is bulging that doesn't bode well for long term stability, even if whatever's inside is drawing back from actually touching it." Ezerak grins at Karthor, his dimples flashing into view. Tirost grins at Karthor. Madigan smiles kathor Elurora grins at Karthor. Madigan smiles at Karthor. Etasia chuckles at Karthor. Zalinyar says, "Well in my opinion, it's obious we're going to be slammed up against another world, and expected to integrade the inhabitants of that world among our own, and live as a whole community." Tirost nods to you. Onara takes a sip of her wine. Gwenddolyn says, "A pocket within it that is a prison." Kethrai observes Zalinyar with fascination. Zalinyar smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Illiya closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance. Onara smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Elizzibiana takes a sip of her ambrosia. Elizzibiana takes a bite of the legs. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Tirost says to you, "Another ominous portent. You have ordered these well, Miskton. I'm feeling grateful for the previous vision amid all the others." Vaerek says to Zalinyar, "We could think of them as neighbors." Gwenddolyn says, "Either way, it isn't good." Zalinyar nods to Vaerek. You say, "And the Involuted Passage vanished in a powerful flash of light, but that's not the same thing as exploding. So we definitely drove it off, but haven't necessarily seen the last of it..." Imroth says, "Crumbling Throne City is concerning." Jaelia gazes upward. Gwenddolyn nods to Imroth. Dantia nods to you. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Imroth takes a sip of his whiskey. Zalinyar says to Vaerek, "We could. And we could accept the change that is coming, or we could fight it. Im of the opinion to accept." Zalinyar nods to Vaerek. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. You ask, "And that covers the visions I had to bring up. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this strangeness with magic, especially with the sudden acceleration... But does anybody have anything else to bring up, or questions to ask?" Vaerek nods to Zalinyar. Vaddon nods. Vaddon nods to Zalinyar. Tirost takes a sip of his whiskey. Kethrai whispers something to Rileos. Myrable takes a sip of her champagne. Rileos nods to Kethrai. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Meserios glances up at the sky. Vaerek glances outside a moment. Valynn quietly says to you, "You gave me much to contemplate. Thank you for sharing." Anuril guzzles down some of his reserve and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve. Anuril takes a long pull from his tiny barrel. His eyes half-close in contentment as they do so, his shoulders relaxing as he gives a barely-audible sigh of bliss. Elurora nods to Valynn. Illiya nods. Elizzibiana nods to Shashra. Etasia smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Jaelia says to you, "Thank you, those are important to know." Elurora says to you, "Yes, thank you, Mister Miskton." You say, "Well, if not, I'll say take care to you all. I'm definitely interested in hearing if you notice anything further with the magic strangeness, though I get the feeling it won't take long to notice at the rate it's been changing." Rileos whispers something to Kethrai. Sofina glances outside a moment. Zalinyar says, "I can't help but think the worst." Zalinyar shrugs. Dantia says, "Whatever it is, it seems to be escalating quickly at this point. Short of convincing everyone to lay off magic for a while, I think the only thing we can do at this point is... wait." Vaerek takes off a sungold sunburst partially eclipsed by Yavash. Valynn nods to you. Elizzibiana says to you, "Always a thought provoking meeting, thank you for having them." You exclaim, "Thank you all for coming!" Karthor nods to Dantia. Shashra says to you, "Thank you, Seer. Your wisdom is, as always, appreciated." Valynn quietly says, "And be careful." Vaerek says, "Thank you for having us." You nod to Tirost. Zalinyar smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Valynn nods to Dantia. You smile at Shashra. Gwenddolyn says, "I agree, stoping magic may help to delay it." Illiya exclaims to you, "Thank you for sharing!" Madigan says, "Thank you Miskton." Ezerak nods at Shashra, obviously agreeing with her views. You say, "Thank you." Rileos nods at Dantia, obviously agreeing with her views. You nod politely. Jaelia says, "Stay near people you care about and can rely upon. Stay in contact, Communities are important." Etasia says to you, "Always good and thank you...." Ezerak says to you, "Yes, thank you for hosting and sharing." Medikaus guzzles down some of his absinthe and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve. Gwenddolyn says, "And get favors." Valynn nods at Jaelia, obviously agreeing with her views. You carefully mark your place and close your astronomer's journal, securing the clasp. Gwenddolyn says, "You may need them for awhile." Aaiyaah glances outside a moment. Kethrai says, "Stopping everyone from casting magic is only a hypothetical unless somebody has a plan to make it happen..." Ayrell says to you, "Thank you for hosting. It is always enlightening." Vaerek glances up at the sky. Vaddon smiles at Gwenddolyn. Elizzibiana asks Aaiyaah, "Missing your meetings friend, hopefully you are finding life a bit more peaceful?" Meserios says to you, "Thank ye, Miskton. Well delivered." Vaerek glances up at the sky. You put your journal in your scholar's valise. Anuril smirks at Kethrai. Vaerek glances up at the sky. After a few moments he lowers his gaze. Onara takes a sip of her champagne. Aaiyaah grins at Elizzibiana. Dantia says to Kethrai, "The only thing harder might be getting people to move triage rooms." Anuril guzzles down some of his reserve and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve. Anuril takes a long pull from his tiny barrel. His eyes half-close in contentment as they do so, his shoulders relaxing as he gives a barely-audible sigh of bliss. Dantia chuckles. Aaiyaah says, "Less exciting , yes." Madigan grins at Dantia. Onara says to you, "Your wisdom is always appreciated." Anuril grins at Dantia. Ayrell joins Tirost's group. Elizzibiana chuckles at Aaiyaah. Medikaus takes a sip of his absinthe. Kethrai nods at Dantia, obviously agreeing with her views. Elizzibiana waves. Illiya joins Tirost's group. Zalinyar says to you, "THank you for holding the meeting, I do enjoy thinking along lines that don't normally present themselves." Valynn folds her arms across her chest. JValynn raises an eyebrow in Aaiyaah's direction. JGwenddolyn says, "Thanks miskton." JElurora hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return. JKethrai says to Dantia, "Or stop announcing where they are on the gweth." JAaiyaah laughs! You say, "Take care, all."
