Point of View: Miskton
[Gorbesh Fortress, Practice Yard]

The ground in this open square is trampled flat, though a few dead tree trunks are still standing. Ragged target dummies with crude faces drawn on are tied in nooses from a wooden beam.You also see a narrow ladder, a wooden gate with a pure white stone on it, a low beechwood cart with several things on it and a makeshift pavilion with several mismatched chairs and a rickety table beneath it.

Also here: Vaerek, Sublime Mender Kerennya, Heart Tender Kethrai, Tempest Knight Saragos who has a fiery visage, Phantom Judge Crobin and Friar Gragnel.

Obvious paths: east, southeast, south, southwest.

Crobin asks, "Anyone need or want a class?"

Gragnel asks Saragos, "So you feel there to be some sort of influence that is doing this to bring about a goal?"

Crobin pats you on the back.

You nod politely.

You say, "Good evening, all."

Vaerek waves.

Kerennya smiles at you.

Saragos says, "Would have told you it was well above my pay grade in the past, but..."

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Saragos says to Gragnel, "Not necessarily. Way I see it, there are two questions: what's happening, and why is it happening."

Gragnel nods to Saragos.

Vaerek says, "There's a third question."

Kethrai asks, "What do we do about it?"

Gragnel says to Saragos, "I agree, those are important..."

Gragnel glances at Vaerek.

Jaelia waves.

Saragos says, "Being behind it is a why question, but that needs to come after what. I think I've got an idea as to what."

You nod.

Vaerek says, "Who or what is Liraxes."

Saragos asks Vaerek, "Oh?"

You nod politely to Jaelia.

Vaerek asks, "?"

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

Saragos nods to Vaerek.

Crobin nods to Vaerek.

Kethrai quirks one ear sideways in confusion.

You nod to Vaerek.

Jaelia nods politely to you.

Saragos says to Vaerek, "That's a big one."

Gragnel says to Jaelia, "Good to see you again, Sister."

Gragnel nods to Jaelia.

Kethrai asks, "Er... yes, who or what IS Liraxes?"

Kerennya waves to Jaelia.

Saragos says, "I don't want to take over Miskton's shindig here, but I'm hosting a get-together at Gaethrend's in a few days to talk about theories."

Jaelia says to Gragnel, "It is a pleasure to see you again, Brother in Faith."

Jaelia beams at Gragnel!

Jaelia beams at Saragos!

Vaerek says, "I am hoping that whiskey and cigars propel this anomaly."

You say, "Given the source of the warning, I'd think Liraxes is something that would have an impact on the Astral Plane or Plane of Probability, at minimum."

Gragnel chuckles at Vaerek.

Crobin chuckles.

Saragos nods to you.

Gragnel gets some prayer beads from inside his clerical cassock.

Gragnel rubs some prayer beads.

Gragnel gazes up at the sky.

Kethrai scratches one ear, looking bemused.

Kerennya ponders.

Yvela pulls down the hood of her cloak.

Saragos says to you, "The real question is whether this Liraxes is just your normal Moon Mage business - there's always someone mad at you - or whether it's connected to the Wild Magic."

You say to Kethrai, "The name was heard by people who traveled the Astral Plane to the Planar Observatory. While being saved from the attentions of Pelag, apparently."

Kethrai says to you, "Oh... hrm."

Vaerek says to you, "It's about time the moons confired with your meetings."

Saragos says, "Could just be this is something related to drawing too much attention at the Observatory and completely unreleated to the mana issues."

You grin at Vaerek.

You nod to Saragos.

Jaelia says, "I have a few holy rites to perform, I do not want to interrupt the discussion give me a few rois~."

Mother Jaelia goes east.

Yvela nods to Saragos.

Crobin says, "I want to know more on this Pelag myself."

Saragos nods to Yvela.

Gragnel gazes off to the east.

Gragnel smiles.

Kerennya says, "Bad evil dude who roams the Microcosm, I believe."

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Ezathiel waves.

Crobin nods to Ezathiel.

Ezathiel smiles.

Crobin hugs Ayrell, getting a smile in return.

Ezathiel grins at Crobin.

Kerennya says, "Which is the path we took to get to the planar observatory."

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

Ayrell smiles.

Saragos says to Gragnel, "You've got an interest, would love to see you out at Gaethrend's. I don't know your face, but new perspectives are always welcome. Saragos, by the way."

Ayrell nods politely to you.

Saragos shakes Gragnel's hand.

Ayrell curtsies gracefully to Kethrai.

Ezathiel waves to Kethrai.

Ayrell curtsies gracefully to Ezathiel.

You say to Crobin, "His name means The Servant of Fate. It was placed on him a long time ago by the seer Nera. And having a name forced on him is probably part of why he's so angry now, though not entirely."

Ayrell smiles at Ezathiel.

Ezathiel smiles at Ayrell.

Jaelia nods.

Gragnel says to Saragos, "Gragnel, sir. Thank you for the invitation. I shall certainly do my best to attend."

Ezathiel hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Ezathiel with a warm smile.

Crobin says, "Hmm interesting."

Crobin says, "Thank you Miskton."

Ciarelle waves to Jaelia.

Crobin waves to Ciarelle.

Jaelia beams at Ciarelle!

Ciarelle waves to Crobin.

Jaelia asks you, "For the Web of Fate, who is more involved, Harawep vs. Phelim? I assume Harawep?"

Kethrai asks you, "I've had lots of people give me lots of names I don't like. But I suspect this has more weight than that?"

You say to Jaelia, "Harawep seems to take a specific interest."

Crobin nods.

Jaelia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

You nod to Kethrai.

Crobin says, "I was forced a name when I was in slavery in the day."

Crobin says, "So I can understand not enjoying it."

Jaelia kneels down.

Ezathiel casually observes the area.

Jaelia says, "Excuse me for a rois. Apologies."

Jaelia stands up.

You say, "I'm not sure of exactly all the details, but a name seems to place a sort of binding on these beings. Perhaps reducing the possibilities of what they can be."

Ayrell smiles at Rileos.

Rileos raises two fingers to his brow in a quick hand salute.

Kerennya takes a sip of her beer.

You say, "And I see the mana fluctuating a bit... I suppose that will be convenient for our purposes here."

Rileos glances up at the sky.

You gaze skyward and trace the planetary alignments in the air as you prepare the Moongate spell.

You gesture.

A swirling vortex of shadows draws itself from the ground and coalesces into a Katamba-black Moongate with a hazy border of protean shadow, which yawns open like a hungry maw.

Ezathiel observes you with fascination.

Pilgrim Nawain came through a Katamba-black Moongate with a hazy border of protean shadow.

Nawain beams!

Crobin just hugged Nawain.

Knight of Meraud Tirost came through a Katamba-black Moongate with a hazy border of protean shadow.

Cateress Allye came through a wooden gate.

Yvela smiles at Tirost.

Gragnel rubs some prayer beads.

Ciarelle says, "For all my complaining, I managed to break magic myself, locally, just now."

Allye says to you, "I should have stayed put and saved myself a swim."

Allye chortles softly at some secret joke.

You grin at Allye.

Rileos says to Ciarelle, "Good work."

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

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

Allye hugs Ezathiel, who wraps his arms around Allye with a warm smile.

Nevali came through a Katamba-black Moongate with a hazy border of protean shadow.

Ezathiel beams at Allye!

Ezathiel hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.

You release your mental hold on the lunar energy that sustains your moongate.

A Katamba-black Moongate with a hazy border of protean shadow collapses in on itself.

Allye's ears perk up happily.

Saragos asks you, "Didn't know that about Pelag. Doesn't something about Astral Travel use a Naming Ritual?"

Ciarelle says to Rileos, "It actually seemed to hinder the Adanf trying to cast at me too."

You nod to Saragos.

Kerennya smiles at Tirost.

Kethrai nods to Ciarelle.

Tirost smiles at Kerennya.

Ciarelle says, "Could've been my imagination."

Kethrai says, "Affects a whole area, briefly at least."

You say to Saragos, "I think the ritual is probably related to what Nera did, but not exactly the same."

Rileos says to Ciarelle, "Huh. I was wonderin, cause they didn't stop castin when we did when Tirost broke it."

Tirost grins at Rileos.

Tirost shakes his head.

Crobin chuckles.

Tirost asks Kerennya, "It is good to see you again. May I trouble you for healing?"

Nevali waves a Berengaria harvest apple at Kethrai.

Ciarelle says to Kethrai, "Yes, but sometimes critters don't behave properly as you'd expect when it comes to their magic."

Kerennya says, "Of course."

Kethrai says to Rileos, "Well that seems strange and also unfair."

Kerennya grins at Tirost.

Rileos nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Kerennya touches Tirost with a confident grace and familiar smile.

You gaze skyward and trace the planetary alignments in the air as you prepare the Locate spell.

Ciarelle says, "Might help the chances of the planned diplomatic overtures."

Tirost says to Kerennya, "Thank you."

Nevali takes a bite of the apple.

Vaerek asks Crobin, "You were in the plane yesterday for quit a while. Did anyone research wild magic in there?"

Kethrai says, "One moment..."

Nevali gazes at her apple.

Crobin says, "I don't think so."

Crobin shakes his head at Vaerek.

Vaerek nods to Crobin.

Crobin says, "I know I didn't."

Allye waves to Nevali.

Crobin winks at Vaerek.

Ciarelle says, "That would've been a good idea."

Tirost says to Vaerek, "It's an interesting idea - but we were very pressed for time."

Crobin waves to Nevali.

Nevali waves a Berengaria harvest apple at Allye.

Allye grins at Nevali.

Nevali waves a Berengaria harvest apple at Crobin.

Flickering cerulean radiance erupts from seemingly nowhere, forming a jagged rift in the air. Elore steps out from within the light, followed by a gust of chill winds. The rift vanishes as swiftly as it appeared.

Elore gazes intently into her sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.

Ciarelle gazes at the copper box in her hands, sighing. As a caravan comes thundering by, Ciarelle casually tosses the copper box in its path, a smug smile spreading over her face at the resulting crunch.

Elore beams!

You nod politely to Elore.

Nawain says to Nevali, "It's a snack, not a wand. They can hardly taste it from there."

Kerennya exclaims, "That evil nasty wild magic. Gave me a spell that causes empathic shock!"

Vaerek nods to Tirost.

Ciarelle says, "Oh now that's not fair."

Tirost grins at Kerennya.

Nevali says to Nawain, "I'm not giving them my apple, I already gave Meraud my rat."

Ezathiel waves to Elore.

Nevali takes a bite of the apple.

Ezathiel smiles at Elore.

Nawain chortles softly at some secret joke.

Nawain gets a Berengaria harvest apple from inside a little mossy green lunchbox painted with the portrait of a woman.

Tirost smiles at Nevali.

Nawain offers Nevali a Berengaria harvest apple.

Elore hugs Ezathiel, who wraps his arms around Elore with a warm smile.

Kethrai says, "Hasn't given me any spells..."

Nawain says to Nevali, "Then give them this one."

Nevali accepts Nawain's harvest apple.

Ezathiel beams at Elore!

You say, "Okay, I think we can probably get started, as the first step will take a little time."

Ezathiel hugs Elore, getting a smile in return.

Anuril takes his rightful place beside Kethrai.

Crobin pats Anuril on the back.

Allye beams at Kethrai!

Nevali offers Allye a Berengaria harvest apple.

Allye accepts Nevali's harvest apple.

Tirost smiles at Kethrai.

Allye perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Nevali.

Ezathiel whispers something to Elore.

Allye says to Nevali, "Thank you."

Kerennya says to Kethrai, "Do you have the feats that allow for learning sorcery spells? Because I think you need those, and to have spells temporarily memorized as well."

Allye sniffs at a Berengaria harvest apple.

Nevali sweeps a metal chain balaclava off her head and in front of her in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Allye at the same time.

Elore holds up her hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.

Allye perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Nevali.

Ezathiel grins at Elore.

Nevali gets a beisswurm foreleg from inside her silk pack.

Nevali offers Crobin a beisswurm foreleg.

Kethrai says, "I don't mess with that stuff."

Ciarelle says to Kerennya, "I've had spells memorized and haven't learnt anything."

You say, "My intent is to study the skies, and then predict future events using volunteers to focus on. I would like those volunteers to try using Gauge Flow to research wild magic first, and I will do so as well."

Saragos touches a genteel cigarillo with a glowing finger, and it quickly catches fire.

Crobin accepts Nevali's beisswurm foreleg.

Yvela nods to you.

Ciarelle says to you, "I'm already working on that."

Crobin says, "Thanks."

Nevali mutters something into the air about yay friends.

You say, "Hopefully that attunement to the vagaries of wild magic will provide a focus for my prophetic insight."

Kerennya says, "I just finished a short while ago."

Saragos puffs on his genteel cigarillo.

You nod.

Tirost says to you, "I'm beginning my research now."

Kerennya says, "LIke 10 rois ago."

Yvela says, "I've a project in the works as well."

Kethrai says, "I've got another couple roisaen left."

Nawain nods in agreement.

Crobin says, "I will watch."

You say, "I've started as well."

Tirost grins at Crobin.

Eyst asks you, "Do you already have your volunteers selected?"

Saragos says to you, "You need volunteers, I'm game. Though I've got no need to butt in if your dance card is already full."

Vaerek says to you, "I can do a fresh start when you need."

You say, "This location was chosen, as with this many attempts at doing so, there is some possibility of things going awry in ways that might scare bystanders."

Rileos says, "I wish I knew gauge flow right now."

Rileos chuckles.

Jaelia waves.

Tirost smiles at Jaelia.

Elore hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Elore with a warm smile.

You say, "There's also the possibility we might have a bit of need of healing, but we'll see."

Crobin says, "I am sure I could get you one Rileos."

Nawain offers Rileos a basic runestone marked with a symbol for Gauge Flow.

You grin wryly.

Elore hugs Sofina, who wraps her arms around Elore with a warm smile.

Rileos beams at Nawain!

Elore rubs Sofina's head.

Kerennya says, "I think we have a few empaths here, so covered for healing."

Sofina snuggles up to Elore.

Saragos puffs on his genteel cigarillo.

Rileos says to Nawain, "Much appreciated, darlin."

Kethrai nods to Kerennya.

Nawain grins at Rileos.

Knight Penitent Briaen came through a wooden gate.

Tirost nods to Briaen.

You say to Saragos, "And feel free to volunteer as well. Checking multiple different subjects may be of help."

Briaen nods graciously at Tirost, giving him a polite smile.

Saragos tips his hat to Briaen with a courteous nod.

Briaen nods to Saragos.

Sofina grins at Elore.

Crobin waves to Briaen.

Tirost says to Briaen, "Glad you made it."

Elore nods to Sofina.

Kerennya says, "I'm happy to volunteer as a prediction subject."

Elore nods.

Vaerek glances up at the sky.

After a few moments he lowers his gaze.

Kethrai says, "As am I."

Elore laughs!

Allye says, "I'm not."

Allye squints at Briaen.

Sofina giggles.

You say, "I'll warn that experiencing a vision can be a bit shocking, and sometimes disturbing."

Rileos says, "Me too, I wanna know the future."

Rileos nods.

Allye says, "Just kidding."

Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Kerennya firmly says, "Bring it."

Saragos casually flicks some ashes off the end of his genteel cigarillo.

Nawain nods to Briaen.

Saragos takes a long drag off of a burning genteel cigarillo.

Nevali raises her arms skyward, chanting.

Kethrai says, "Now, let's see what it does to my casting..."

Vaerek asks, "Anyone else researching that would like a prediction?"

Ezathiel gazes at Kethrai.

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Jaelia says, "I can volunteer if it is helpful, I have minimal experience with reserach of Wild Mana, but I have done very basics, and I have aligned myself with the Will of Harawep. Although having me improve my standing in her favor for a few rois and repeating might be helpfu too if allowed."

Allye grins at Kethrai.

Kethrai says, "Welp."

Sofina taps herself on the chest.

Briaen gazes up at the sky.

Crobin chuckles.

Illiya waves.

Saragos says to Anuril, "Someone's expecting trouble."

Anuril smirks at Saragos.

Gragnel nods to Jaelia.

Elore covers her eyes with her hand.

Briaen shakes his head at Tirost.

Jaelia beams at Gragnel!

Briaen says to Tirost, "I am unfamiliar with this term."

Allye grins at Crobin.

Illiya grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Tirost says to Briaen, "So am I, unfortunately."

Illiya says, "Evening everyone."

Ezathiel smiles illia

Tirost hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Ezathiel coughs.

Ezathiel smiles at Illiya.

Rileos nods to Illiya.

You say to Vaerek, "Additional seers searching as well might not be a bad idea. We should just be careful to avoid the same subjects, or anything risking approaching a group prediction."

You nod politely.

Gragnel says to Nawain, "I've still been praying to Damaris that this is all a dream. I'm reakky startugb to think it's not His doing though."

Gragnel coughs.

Hanryu searches around for a moment.

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Gragnel slowly empties his lungs.

Gragnel shakes his black coffee!

Kerennya says, "Might be a difference between whether wild magic research is in progress and whether it's completed as well."

Nawain pats Gragnel on the back.

Gragnel asks Nawain, "Have your Gods given you any insight?"

You nod to Kerennya.

You nod to Nawain.

Tirost chuckles at Crobin.

Nawain says to Gragnel, "Just that the Font of Creation is being weakened, and that Divinity itself may be under assault. Which is enough to give me nightmares for.. well, forever."

Nawain chuckles.

Gragnel winces.

Jaelia nods.

Gragnel nods to Nawain.

Ayrell nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views.

You say, "I've still got a bit to go on my project, but if anyone who wants to volunteer could whisper to me, I'll make sure to get your names don."

You clear your throat.

You say, "Get your names down."

Kethrai closes his eyes and settles into a graceful stance.

Illiya asks, "Umm what are we volunteering for?"

Saragos takes a long drag off of a burning genteel cigarillo.

Kethrai says to Illiya, "To have your future told."

Nawain cheerfully exclaims to Illiya, "Horribly dangerous research!"

Gragnel says, "Fortune telling, if I'm not msitaken."

You say to Illiya, "Being the subject of a prediction while exposed to wild magic."

Nawain says to Kethrai, "Shhh."

Illiya grins at Nawain, her dimples flashing into view.

Nawain chortles softly at some secret joke.

Nevali glances up at the sky.

Gragnel gives Nawain a gentle poke in the ribs.

Crobin says, "Hmm never had my fortune read before."

Anuril glances up at the sky.

Tirost smiles at Kerennya.

Rileos nods at Crobin, obviously agreeing with his views.

Illiya says, "Sure if you need more people."

Illiya hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Illiya with a warm smile.

Rileos says to Crobin, "I'm excited."

Crobin says, "Me too."

Gragnel says, "Oooh, I have just the thing for this..."

Crobin says, "I will have mine read."

Gragnel gets a witch ball from inside his clerical cassock.

Yvela glances up at the sky.

Eyst whispers something to Yvela.

Gragnel offers you a witch ball. Enter ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

You accept Gragnel's offer and are now holding a witch ball.

You chuckle at Gragnel.

Gragnel says to you, "For luck."

Gragnel nods.

Ezathiel softly asks, "I am afraid to have my future told. What if I am not in it?"

Yvela whispers something to Eyst.

Eyst gives a slight nod.

Allye trills softly at Ezathiel.

Ezathiel winks at Allye.

Jaelia nods.

Illiya says to Ezathiel, "I think by definition you have to be."

Ezathiel nods to Illiya.

Jaelia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Crobin says, "See what the future holds to someone who doesn't use magic like the rest of yoou."

You say, "Okay, we've definitely got a good list to work with."

Sofina leans on Elore.

Ayrell shakes her head at Tirost.

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Tirost smiles at Ayrell.

Sofina nods to Elore.

Elore casually observes the area.

Nawain says, "Hush, Miss Wiggles. It's not a cat for chasing."

Rileos grasps his chin roughly and jerks it to the side. You hear a loud pop and see him visibly relax.

Sofina blushes and babbles a few incoherent words, looking sincerely flustered.

Crobin smiles at Nawain.

Ezathiel grins at Nawain.

Ayrell smiles at Tirost.

You say, "Okay, just another minute or two, and I'll be ready to begin."

Sofina giggles.

Crobin says, "I will put LC out for Wiggles to play with."

You say, "From when I was taking down names, we'll start with Kethrai."

Rileos quietly asks, "We're supposed to wait after the future tellin to research, yeah?"

Rileos casually observes the area.

Jaelia kneels down.

Gragnel says, "Good luck and good fortune to all the victi... hmm. Volunteers."

Jaelia narrows her eyes and rasps tenebrously to herself.

Jaelia stands up.

Jaelia nods.

Hanryu searches around for a moment.

Gragnel nods.

Ezathiel snickers.

Crobin chuckles at Gragnel.

You say to Rileos, "I'm looking for as much wild magic involved as possible, so ideally before the prediction. But the idea of predicting while someone is researching was also brought up."

Kethrai says, "I already did some research shortly ago."

You nod.

Rileos says to you, "Well, I ain't started reasearching yet so if you want me to start durin, I will."

Illiya places her hands on her temples.

Illiya's countenance takes on a sublimely tranquil air. (Empath: Tranquility)

A crash of shattering glass echoes through the area. You are overcome by a sense of wrongness.

You say, "We'll start with both the seer and the subject having researched wild magic."

Saragos says, "I figured I'd start doing my research just before the prediction."

Kerennya takes off an acenite sea unicorn with a glittering tail of coralite.

Saragos casually flicks some ashes off the end of his genteel cigarillo.

Kethrai nods in agreement.

Rileos nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.

Rileos says to Saragos, "What I was thinkin too."

Illiya nods to Saragos.

Saragos peers quizzically at a storm-grey cat with gold-flecked crystal blue eyes.

You say, "There we go. And I learned Ease Burden and Soul Shield."

Saragos stares intently at a storm-grey cat with gold-flecked crystal blue eyes for a moment.

Yvela chuckles.

Allye nods to you.

Sofina takes a bite of the tart.

Vaerek says to Rileos, "Also, take note of what the end result is with the wild magic."

Rileos nods to Vaerek.

Rileos says to Vaerek, "Should be easy enough, it'll be lodged in my braincase."

Sofina takes a bite of the tart.

Vaerek says, "Not just the spells but the state of which you percieve it."

Rileos nods.

You say, "Okay then, a little observation, and then I'll start with Kethrai."

Sofina takes a bite of her tart and a soft moan escapes her lips.

Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.

Saragos takes a long drag off of a burning genteel cigarillo.

(Crobin moves towards the back of the group his eyes scanning the area as they cast spells and do their research, ears twisting back and forth as his eyes scan slowly)

You say, "Here we go, then..."

You gaze at Kethrai.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Kethrai's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Gragnel gazes up at the sky.

Ezathiel shifts his weight.

You say, "That..."

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

After a moment, you smell pine and feel the need to wipe sawdust from your hands. A wooden box rests in your hands, as yet unpolished, but expertly assembled with precise dovetails. Opposing pine and oak make for a striking contrast, and the lid appears as a fractional gap interrupting the grain. Before your eyes, the box appears to shift, and is now a smoothly interlocked orb. As you blink, the vision fades, and the box disappears.

You say, "Hmm."

Illiya blinks.

Nawain observes you with fascination.

Nawain observes Kethrai with fascination.

Shuffling closer, Eyst attends you with an intense, scrupulous gaze, as if he intends to commit your every aspect and action to memory.

Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at you.

Ezathiel cocks his head.

Kerennya says, "That was...interesting."

Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.

(Yvela tilts her head slightly.)

Illiya rubs Crobin in a friendly manner.

Rileos quietly asks Kethrai, "Did you break the future?"

Ciarelle says, "Oh that looked not normal."

Kethrai asks, "Did you... see something?"

Ayrell ponders.

Kerennya asks, "Was that supposed to happen?"

Gragnel takes a sip of his coffee.

Ciarelle says, "More not normal than usual that is."

You say, "I saw something, yes."

Tirost gazes at you.

Illiya gazes at you.

Illiya gazes at you.

You say, "I smelled pine and felt the need to wipe sawdust from my hands."

Kerennya appears to be listening intently for something.

Ezathiel gazes at you.

Rileos glances at Briaen.

Allye trills, her ears relaxing minutely back against her head.

Crobin sniffs the air around him.

You say, "A wooden box rested in my hands, as yet unpolished, but expertly assembled with precise dovetails."

Jaelia frowns.

Illiya ponders.

You say, "Opposing pine and oak made for a striking contrast, and the lid appeared as a fractional gap interrupting the grain."

Kerennya asks, "Maybe having to do with Liraxes constructing itself?"

You say, "Before my eyes, the box appeared to shift, and was now a smoothly interlocked orb. As I blinked, the vision faded, and the box disappeared."

Sofina clucks her tongue and shakes her head.

Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Nawain ponders.

Tirost glances at Ayrell.

Crobin asks, "Like a memory orb or?"

Saragos drums his fingers on his leather holster.

Yvela ponders.

Illiya asks, "A wooden orb?"

Ayrell nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Allye says, "A transformation."

Allye angles her ears forward in curiosity.

Vaerek nods to you.

Gragnel says, "Maybe some form of puzzle box, one that trans..."

Gragnel points at Allye.

Gragnel nods.

Allye nods at Gragnel, obviously agreeing with his views.

Crobin asks, "Transforming much like magic is now?"

You say, "The initial act of trying to predict the future for Kethrai also felt... off. Not like I would normally expect."

Tirost asks you, "Do you have the sense that it was a symbolic vision?"

Sofina joins Elore's group.

Illiya asks, "Off in what way?"

You say to Tirost, "Most likely, I'd think."

Tirost nods to you.

Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

The stars sing, and you feel you have more to learn...

Ezathiel furrows his brow.

Kethrai says, "It felt... off, to me too. I wasn't sure if it was... normally like that."

You say to Illiya, "Rather than the immediate vision I'd expect, an odd feeling, and the vision a bit later."

You say, "I think perhaps we should try some other subjects."

Illiya gazes thoughtfully at you.

Saragos says to you, "Bears further research. A problem with our connection to one of the Planes would definitely be something new."

Tirost says to Kethrai, "Two different contrasting materials that leave a gap..."

Crobin asks, "Did you feel like something was blocking the image?"

Eyst asks you, "Do you feel the vision was still linked to your subject? or rather off the rails entirely?"

You say, "Yvela was next on my list."

Yvela nods to you.

You say to Eyst, "Hard to say at this point."

Jaelia nods.

Eyst nods.

(Tirost turns to gaze at Miskton and Yvela.)

Yvela says, "I've completed my research as of some minutes ago."

You nod.

You say, "Okay, ready to try again."

You gaze at Yvela.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Yvela's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes. 

After a moment, burning pitch stings your eyes and the sky shatters, dripping reflective shards of rainbowed light. You watch this strange skyfall, mesmerized by the tumbling images of the sky and land spinning in every direction. As you watch, the pieces pick up speed and begin to slam into the ground, exploding into crystalline fire and evaporating. Gaps in the sky writhe with bulges of nothingness, and suddenly, one of the shards slices your cheek! You gasp in surprise as crystal erupts along your face, covering your eyes, your vision skewing wildly. The vision fades, and everything returns to normal.

(Crobin looks towards Miskton as he goes to the next reading, he closed his eyes letting his ears twist listening to all around him)

A light blue bolus coalesces in Allye's hand!

You flinch.

Anuril lets out a hearty cheer for Allye!

Briaen glances at Allye.

Anuril coughs.

Anuril appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Illiya grins at Allye, her dimples flashing into view.

Kerennya lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Allye!

Nawain observes you with fascination.

Ezathiel gazes at Allye.

Nawain observes Yvela with fascination.

Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at you.

Allye chews pensively on a light blue bolus.

(Yvela reaches up to touch her cheek for a moment.)

Mother Jaelia just arrived.

Jaelia kneels down.

You say, "After a moment, burning pitch stings your eyes and the sky shatters, dripping reflective shards of rainbowed light. You watch this strange skyfall, mesmerized by the tumbling images of the sky and land spinning in every direction.

Gaps in the sky writhe with bulges of nothingness, and suddenly, one of the shards slices your cheek! You gasp in surprise as crystal erupts along your face, covering your eyes, your vision skewing wildly. The vision fades, and everything returns to normal."

Allye quirks her ears outward for a moment, blinking at you in surprise.

Nawain says, "Oh. That's... eww."

Anuril nods.

Nawain frowns.

Yvela nods to you.

Rileos frowns.

Allye gazes up at the sky.

Kethrai blinks at Yvela.

Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Um..."

Ayrell gazes up at the sky.

Kethrai asks Yvela, "Did you feel part of that vision..?"

Ayrell frowns.

Anuril glances at Nawain.

Anuril stares intently at an uncannily attentive void-black owl with a ghostly white mask for a moment.

Yvela says, "I think I experienced it just the same as he described. I felt the cut on my cheek and the crystals."

You say, "Let's see... We seem to be onto something, though it's of course still cryptic."

Anuril whispers something to Nawain.

Nawain nods to Anuril.

Rileos nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Kethrai blinks.

Elore fidgets nervously.

Saragos says, "Well, that sounds like the whole scuttler business. Would be something if it were related."

Tirost frowns thoughtfully.

You say, "I should try another subject. Vaerek, perhaps you can try predicting on Tirost? I'll try Saragos next."

Vaerek nods to you.

Kethrai says, "That's... strange. I didn't see a vision."

Vaerek asks Tirost, "Ready?"

(Crobin moves close to Tirost and looks around watching once again)

Tirost nods to Vaerek.

Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Kethrai.

Vaerek inhales a great swallow of air.

You gaze at Vaerek.

Vaerek gazes at Tirost.

Vaerek gazes absently at Tirost, almost staring through him.

Vaerek gazes around blankly for a long moment, and suddenly blinks in confusion.

You gaze at Vaerek.

Yvela glances at Tirost.

Gragnel raises an eyebrow.

A pained expression crosses Tirost's face.

Nawain absently says, "Don't lick the familiars, Miss Wiggles."

Nawain pets a short-tailed pug puppy.

The pug puppy suddenly butts up close to her, rubbing against her legs.

Nawain pets a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood.

The saluki puppy chews at one paw.

Gragnel fidgets nervously.

You ask Vaerek, "How was it?"

Vaerek says, "Whoa."

Saragos says, "I'll start my research."

Tirost slowly asks Vaerek, "Did you hear the bell?"

Vaerek says, "A bell is struck in the distance, an odd tone with several harmonics. You feel yourself yanked forward, falling to your knees, and when you look up, a large hexagonal bell etched in strange symbols hovers in the air before you. The bell is struck, and you are buffeted backward by the deafening sound. The vision fades, and you wobble uncertainty."

Yvela folds her arms across her chest.

Crobin folds his arms across his chest.

Ezathiel squints.

Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Anuril ponders.

Nawain ponders.

(Tirost glances at Yvela and Crobin.)

Nawain reverently lays her prayer mat at her feet, smoothing out its corners.

Saragos blinks at Vaerek.

Nawain humbly kneels in the center of the prayer mat.

You say, "Some of these do seem to have some symbolism in common with some recent visions... Woodworking, a bell..."

You ponder.

Tirost says, "None of these save Kethrai's seem remotely positive."

Jaelia stands up.

Ayrell nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.

Jaelia kneels down.

Nawain strikes a piece of black flint against a grusana kaft forged in viridian tursa, causing a shower of sparks over the burnt incense which smolders, then bursts into flames.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

You say to Saragos, "Okay, let's give this a try..."

Nawain waves some burnt incense over herself.

Nawain takes a deep breath and then raises her hands, murmuring prayers under her breath. A strong white light fills her, exploding outward and blinding you momentarily. When the light fades Nawain is on her knees, looking exhausted but happy.

Hanryu asks Tirost, "Ain't that pretty typical of visions though?"

You gaze at Saragos.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Saragos's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Kethrai says, "I feel embarrassingly oblivious, that the rest of you are all sharing the vision."

Tirost says, "But Yvela and I are sorcerers. Let us see what a prediction of Saragos reveals."

Jaelia asks Nawain, "Is the ground now consecrated?"

Your hands itch, and you clap them together in irritation. The feeling persists, and you cannot shake the sense of something left unfinished -- an orlog assembled but missing a final component. For some reason you are confident that while something is missing, the whole is operational. And you ponder this certainty, the stars begin to howl, and the sensation passes.

Nawain nods to Jaelia.

Jaelia nods to Nawain.

Gragnel kneels down before Nawain.

Gragnel continues praying.

Nevali angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Kethrai.

You rub your right hand.

Elore raises an eyebrow.

Ezathiel pleasantly says, "I am totally lost."

Gragnel rubs some prayer beads.

You say, "Your hands itch, and you clap them together in irritation. The feeling persists, and you cannot shake the sense of something left unfinished -- an orlog assembled but missing a final component. For some reason you are confident that while something is missing, the whole is operational. And you ponder this certainty, the stars begin to howl, and the sensation passes."

Ezathiel furrows his brow.

Hanryu gestures.

Hanryu's whitleather bag emits a loud *snap*.

Hanryu flexes his hands as his fingernails extend into razor-like claws.

A swirling vortex of brilliant light spins across the area.

Nevali collapses to the ground as the world seems to stretch and pull around her briefly.

Tirost collapses to the ground as the world seems to stretch and pull around him briefly.

A wave of energy passes through, invisible except for the obscene ways the world stretches and pulls around you! Though it seemed as though Elanthia was going to rip itself apart, the wave passes without causing bodily harm.

A fearsome mana surge slowly makes its way to the south, leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

Saragos blinks.

Heart Tender Kethrai glides south, leading his group.

Jaelia frowns.

Hunter Hanryu pads south.

Hunter Hanryu just arrived.

Kerennya mutters something into the air about Liraxes.

Heart Tender Kethrai just arrived, leading his group.

Allye gazes off to the south.

Illiya says, "That one is interesting."

Illiya nods at Kerennya, obviously agreeing with her views.

Tirost stands up.

Rileos says, "Huh."

Nawain says, "Bloody surges."

Nawain mutters to herself.

You say, "Well, a mana surge certainly won't hurt with trying to focus on wild magic."

You chuckle.

Ciarelle says, "Gods, what did you all eat."

Nevali stands up.

Ayrell quietly says, "An orlog..."

Crobin says, "Itchy hands comes with working."

Gragnel continues praying.

Saragos says, "Never felt anything quite like that before."

Tirost nods to Ayrell.

Anuril says to Hanryu, "Keth got it."

Tirost asks Ayrell, "A symbol of time?"

Saragos takes a sip of his Zeng Tenra.

Yvela ponders.

Gragnel stands up.

You ask, "Let's see... Crobin volunteered. Shall we see what will happen there?"

Ayrell says to Tirost, "Perhaps it is due to my own train of thought, but that is my first impression, yes."

Crobin smiles.

Planesweaver Navesi came through a wooden gate.

Tirost nods.

Hanryu says, "Odd I chased it south but it's gone."

Crobin says, "As one that doesn't cast spells like the others here."

Tirost stands near Crobin.

Navesi nods politely.

Allye nods amiably at Navesi.

Crobin says, "I would like to see what may come up."

Kethrai says to Hanryu, "I got it..."

Crobin waves to Navesi.

You nod politely to Navesi.

You nod to Crobin.

Illiya says to Navesi, "Chief."

Hanryu says to Kethrai, "Ah faster than me."

Navesi nods politely to Illiya.

Hanryu grins at Kethrai.

You say to Crobin, "Okay, let's give this a try..."

You gaze at Crobin.

Crobin nods.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Crobin's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Acrid smoke wafts past you, and you turn around finding yourself face to face with the woman in the wide-brimmed hat, her cataract eyes staring at you as she grins a cruel half grin around a lit cigarillo. "This isn't my doing," She says, "Though I'm almost jealous at the scale. But it's calling itself Liraxes, eh? Curious choice. Well, we'll see where this lands." The smoke stings your eyes, and as you cough, she vanishes without a trace.

The smoke stings your eyes, and as you cough, she vanishes without a trace."

Allye furrows her brow.

Crobin shakes his head.

Rileos frowns.

Anuril sighs.

Tirost frowns.

Illiya exclaims, "Liraxes again!"

Allye says, "That seems more pointed..."

Nawain frowns.

Ciarelle asks, "Am I imagining it or are these getting faster?"

Yvela says, "Well that's a connection."

Rileos nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views.

Elore shivers.

Tirost says, "And the smoking woman."

Eyst nods.

Rileos says to Ciarelle, "Seems so."

You say, "And that woman seems to be involved with large scale disasters..."

Briaen says to Rileos, "I believe the woman in that vision stole your hat."

Crobin perks up his ears, glancing around alertly.

Illiya asks, "Was there a smoking woman before?"

Nawain nods to Illiya.

Rileos says to Briaen, "She better not. I'll fight her for it."

You nod to Illiya.

Kethrai says to Illiya, "In lots of past visions."

Vaerek says, "We need a nice bottle of whiskey and some cigarillos."

Illiya grins at Vaerek, her dimples flashing into view.

Anuril ponders.

Vaerek smirks at you.

You nod to Ayrell.

Tirost nods to Kethrai.

Crobin slowly empties his lungs.

You say, "Allye was next on the list, I think."

Allye smiles at you.

You ask Allye, "Still up for it?"

Allye nods to you.

Sofina grins at Elore.

Nawain says, "Interesting that she implies that Liraxes is both self-named, and might be called something else."

Elore says, "If we're going out, we're going out with style."

Allye says, "I think so."

Elore takes a sip of her bourbon.

Yvela says, "The object being incomplete but operational could also be in referrence to Ziraxes, then, if it is presently assembling itself."

Allye twitches an ear nervously.

Yvela ponders.

You gaze at Allye.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Allye's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

A rumble passes underfoot, and you cock your head straining to hear. A sound not unlike... sizzling oil? Rushes by again. You kneel, touching the ground gingerly, and feel it through your fingertips, the churn of hundreds of feet churning along. The ground erupts, and you fall, fall into a mass of appendages and digging claws, hearing the whispered word "Liraxes" echoing all around. Suddenly the feeling fades, and you look around in confusion.

Suddenly the feeling fades, and you look around in confusion."

A pained expression crosses Allye's face.

Saragos says to Yvela, "Maybe. I also was thinking about the order the Immortals ordained for the cosmos, and the Bardic research on wild magic."

Nawain frowns.

Anuril squints.

Illiya ponders.

Ayrell shivers.

You say, "Well, that's ominous..."

Allye says, "Horrible."

Allye shudders.

Ezathiel furrows his brow.

Illiya says, "Creepy."

Rileos blanches.

Yvela says, "Hmm."

Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.

You ask Jaelia, "Are you still up for being a volunteer while starting some magical research?"

Ezathiel softly asks, "Do scuttlers burrow?"

Kethrai says, "Don't like the sound of that last one at all..."

Allye ponders.

Jaelia nods to you.

Rileos nods to Kethrai.

Jaelia asks, "Can I offer a quick prayer?"

Saragos says, "Sounds like we've got an answer as to whether something is behind this all."

You nod to Jaelia.

Jaelia narrows her eyes and rasps tenebrously to herself.

Ayrell nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.

Nawain asks, "An army digging up from underneath? There's those mole people... And those broodlings.. What else has burrowed up from beneath us?"

Yvela nods to Saragos.

Nawain ponders.

Jaelia chants in a soprano voice: 

"Lady Harawep, with Spinning Dual Blades

We stand before you, singing your Praise

Watching your Webs weaving through Fate

We research and observe before its too late

We seek the source of corruption, the source of the weakness

For you the shadow of Darkness the Visions show Bleakness

Can you Cut away Corruption of these Webs that you Thread

Or what can we offer to reveal our path ahead?"

Jaelia nods.

Jaelia takes a seat.

Crobin says, "The hives>."

Tirost softly says, "Liraxes assembles itself..."

Ciarelle nods to Crobin.

Rileos says to Saragos, "And it has appendages, that means it can get stabbed."

Allye says, "What if rather than an army... Liraxes is a centipede, all those feet and limbs coming together from the ground."

Elore is hugging herself.

You ask Jaelia, "Have you started the research?"

Jaelia says to you, "I have."

Allye asks, "Er, something like a centipede?"

You nod.

Allye gnaws on her lip.

Kethrai gazes silently at Allye.

Kethrai says to Allye, "Why are you making this worse."

Ezathiel shudders.

Rileos says to Allye, "That's one big centipede."

Jaelia inhales a great swallow of air.

Allye exclaims, "I didn't do it!"

Jaelia slowly empties her lungs.

Yvela says, "Sky shattering, ground erupting. It's coming from.. everywhere, maybe."

You say, "I will definitely have to do some thinking on all of this later, but since we don't know how long these conditions might persist, I'll focus on gathering as much information as we can."

You gaze at Jaelia.

Kethrai nods to you.

Allye nods to you.

Illiya nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Jaelia gazes up at the sky.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Jaelia's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Allye nods at Rileos, obviously agreeing with his views.

The ground heaves, and a chunk of stone thrusts upward, grinding loudly. Several strange symbols burn into the sheer face of rock, and reassemble themselves into the letters "L", "I", and "R". The stone suddenly collapses into a pile of rubble, the pieces vibrating slightly. You blink, and the vision fades.

You say, "The ground heaves, and a chunk of stone thrusts upward, grinding loudly.

The stone suddenly collapses into a pile of rubble, the pieces vibrating slightly. You blink, and the vision fades."

Ciarelle says, "This has been much less amusing than I'd hoped."

Mouth open in a grin, a short-tailed pug puppy lopes up to a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood, who enthusiastically knocks the pug puppy over and stands proudly on its chest.

Crobin says, "It is spelling it."

Vaerek glances up at the sky.

After a few moments he lowers his gaze.

You nod to Crobin.

Illiya says, "It seems it really wants us to know its name."

Navesi shifts her weight.

Nawain nods to Illiya.

Elore nods to Illiya.

Tirost lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Kethrai says, "For a being none of us have heard of, it's almost like it's... trying to get our attention at this point."

Tirost nods to Kethrai.

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Ayrell nods to Kethrai.

Illiya nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Nawain nods in agreement.

Jaelia stands up.

Rileos says to Kethrai, "It's workin."

Ezathiel ponders.

Elore asks, "Could it be possible that it could receive some type of power from us saying that name?"

Allye frowns.

Tirost nods to Rileos.

Crobin says, "I have heard."

Yvela says, "All the better to gather a following, maybe? If this thing has deity aspirations."

Eyst says, "Perhaps the thing has had other, aborted, attempts at assembling itself."

Saragos takes a sip of his Zeng Tenra.

Allye covers her mouth with her hand.

Ciarelle says to Illiya, "Or the being is so...active...or something tha the name is pushing itself into reality."

Crobin says, "That when you name something, and the name keeps coming you give it the power to manifest."

Rileos says to Elore, "That's...a thought. It constructs itself the voice before said."

You ask, "Let's see... I think Kerennya next?"

Kerennya asks, "Do you want me to see if I can research again?"

Illiya nods to Ciarelle.

Elore gulps.

Ciarelle says, "I don't like this at all."

Vaerek smiles at Ciarelle.

Crobin pats Ciarelle on the back.

Tirost asks Briaen, "Will you let them do a prediction on you?"

You say to Kerennya, "If you can, sure, if not it's okay."

Navesi says, "I'll go."

Vaerek asks Ciarelle, "Would you like your future predicted?"

Saragos takes a sip of his Zeng Tenra.

Kerennya says, "OK, started."

You say, "Okay, I'll predict on Kerennya, and then Vaerek on Ciarella."

Vaerek nods to you.

You gaze at Kerennya.

You say, "Let's see..."

Rileos says, "Damn. I wanted to see the future."

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Kerennya's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

You find yourself surrounded by calm waters, a gentle sea breeze barely stirring the air. A trio of fish, one black as night, another blood red, the third a light blue, swirl circles around your feet. You look down and find yourself smiling at the three, seemingly unafraid. A fourth fish, pure white, swims in the distance, and the vision fades.

Allye grins at Rileos.

Jaelia kneels down.

Crobin says, "You are the future Rileos."

Kethrai says to Rileos, "Careful what you ask for..."

You say, "You find yourself surrounded by calm waters, a gentle sea breeze barely stirring the air. A trio of fish, one black as night, another blood red, the third a light blue, swirl circles around your feet. You look down and find yourself smiling at the three, seemingly unafraid. A fourth fish, pure white, swims in the distance, and the vision fades."

Crobin asks, "Fish are the moons now?"

Kerennya says, "Very different."

Allye blinks.

Illiya says, "Anmuva mentioned fish."

You nod.

Nawain nods in agreement.

Ayrell nods.

Navesi nods to Crobin.

Anuril ponders.

Nevali asks, "Is one a creppoo?"

Kethrai says, "Anmuva mentioned... dead fish."

Saragos says to Illiya, "That's right."

Ciarelle says to Vaerek, "Oh, yes, sorry please do."

Kerennya asks, "Who's Anmuva?"

You chuckle at Nevali.

Saragos nods to Illiya.

Vaerek nods to Ciarelle.

Ciarelle blanches.

Saragos frowns.

Allye frowns at Kethrai.

Gragnel ponders.

Vaerek grins at Ciarelle.

Kerennya nods.

Nawain glances at Briaen.

Yvela glances up at the sky.

Illiya says, "Anmuva is a Kather who spoke with us briefly."

Vaerek says, "It's not a dental appointment."

Kethrai says, "That said, I doubt he was using the metaphor in the same way."

Anuril frowns.

Crobin says, "You said Anmuva spoke of dead fish."

Ayrell nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Vaerek gazes absently at Ciarelle, almost staring through her.

Navesi peers quizzically at Vaerek.

Briaen grins at Nawain.

Tirost says to Kerennya, "A Kather, one close to life dragons who protects the West."

Ciarelle says to Vaerek, "It's not entirely unlike one."

Crobin asks, "If the fish are moons, are we looking at the moons getting removed or taken away?"

Ciarelle says, "At the moment anyway."

Eyst says, "Rather odd the fourth fish is whole and well."

Vaerek wobbles, looking a bit faint.

Kerennya says to Tirost, "Thank you."

Tirost nods to Kerennya.

Ciarelle says, "Gross."

Vaerek gazes at Ciarelle.

(Crobin moves close to Vaerek to catch him is needed)

Mouth open in a grin, a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood lopes up to a short-tailed pug puppy, who baps the saluki puppy with a careless paw, sending it sprawling.

Illiya asks, "Are teh fish the same colors as the moons?"

Ayrell nods to Illiya.

You nod to Illiya.

Kethrai asks Eyst, "Well, a large part of Grazhir is thought to be whole, deep under the ocean, I think?"

You say, "Roughly, at least."

Tirost nods to Kerennya.

Vaerek gazes heavenwards expectantly, but lowers his eyes unfulfilled.

Hanryu searches around for a moment.

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Vaerek ponders.

Nawain asks Illiya, "Black, red, blue, and white. So after Katamba burned, but before Grazhir shattered? Somehow?"

Illiya gazes thoughtfully at Nawain.

Eyst says to Kethrai, "Indeed? Then I suppose it's the most accurately represented of the four."

You ask Vaerek, "Share your experience there?"

Gragnel rubs some prayer beads.

Kethrai says to Nawain, "Or the white fish represents Grazhir as it is now. It hasn't completely gone away."

Vaerek grins at you.

Ayrell nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Jaelia nods.

Tirost says to Kethrai, "Interesting in light of what Anmuva said of the sundreamers."

Navesi asks Tirost, "How so?"

Yvela ponders.

Saragos takes a sip of his Zeng Tenra.

Ayrell says, "He said they think the moon is responsible for this."

Ciarelle's clear tessera suddenly frosts over, twinkling brightly.

Navesi nods to Ayrell.

Vaerek says, "That was something."

Crobin asks, "Which moon?"

Vaerek pales slightly, flushed with emotion, and falls to the ground, shivering.

Nawain nods to you.

Navesi says, "I believe they dislike all the moons."

Vaerek gazes at Ciarelle.

Crobin asks, "The missing one...or the others?"

Yvela asks, "Does Ziraxes mean to aseemble itself.. as a new moon?"

Kethrai gazes silently at Vaerek.

Illiya asks Ayrell, "Didn't you say that meant the Immortals though?"

Yvela frowns in thought.

Tirost says to Navesi, "They believed "the moon" was responsible for Wild Magic - or the dead fish - as Anmuva represents it."

Vaerek says, "It's all coming back to me now."

(Crobin leans down next to Vaerek)

Saragos glances at Vaerek.

Vaerek says, "You stand before a cliff, looking down into a swirling maelstrom crackling with purple lightning. Echoes violently tear at the air around you, and you step back in fear. Far above, a slug-like creature drifts down, extending several tentacles and reaching for you. Suddenly, a lance of blinding light skewers the horizon, piercing the floating slug, which erupts into black slime as it falls into the storm below. A deafening explosion forces you to cover your ears, and the vision fades."

Navesi nods to Tirost.

Gragnel says, "Hmm. Much to think about, wish I could stay longer but my time allowed for this Province is coming to a close. Walk safely in the light of the Immortals, good fortune to you all."

Gragnel bows.

Ayrell says to Illiya, "It is a theory, as the Kather attribute the moons to the "upstarts" who share similarities in the Kather myth to the Immortals."

You frown.

Ciarelle asks Vaerek, "Ok see that one at least has a happy ending?"

Navesi blinks.

Illiya nods to Ayrell.

Anuril gazes at Vaerek.

Navesi says, "Oh, the slug again."

Vaerek rises to a kneeling position.

Vaerek stands up.

Allye wrinkles her nose.

Vaerek leans on Ciarelle.

Crobin asks, "Maelstorms are normally in water yes?"

Saragos nods to Ayrell.

Ciarelle grins at Vaerek.

Crobin says, "Much like where the moon is suppose to be>."

Crobin angles his ears forward in curiosity.

Illiya asks, "The slug has appeared before?"

Ciarelle pats Vaerek on the back.

Vaerek says to Ciarelle, "That took a bit outta me."

Ciarelle nods to Vaerek.

Jaelia nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.

Rileos scratches distractedly at his stubble.

You say, "There was a slug like creature with an orb inside it that was spreading decay."

Kethrai says, "A swirling maelstrom crackling with purple lightning sounds a lot like Zengmodaleth."

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Crobin asks, "Maelstorms are normally in water yes?"

Sofina asks, "Maybe somethiing to do with that orb you saw earlier?"

Ciarelle says, "But something killed it this time."

Saragos says, "The Kather also believe that the Immortals created the World Dragon somehow, too. That it's some sort of abomination. So consider that as well when they're referring to the moon."

You say, "The next on the list is Ayrell."

Nawain asks, "Wasn't there some sort of slug on a foggy beach? Somewhere?"

Jaelia asks, "The - owl - who's owl?"

Ayrell nods politely to you.

Nawain ponders.

Tirost says to you, "I feel like there are many connections to make here with the visions you've shared in the recent past."

Jaelia nods to Nawain.

Saragos says to Jaelia, "Mine."

Anuril says to Nawain, "In a forest."

You nod to Tirost.

Jaelia says to Saragos, "Lovely."

Nawain ponders.

You say, "Yes, I've spotted a number of symbols that seem related."

Saragos smiles at Jaelia.

Vaerek glances up at the sky.

Saragos tips his hat to Jaelia with a courteous nod.

You say to Ayrell, "Okay, here we go..."

Kethrai says to Crobin, "I'd say in water or in the sky, but also more generally just... stormy."

You gaze at Ayrell.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Ayrell's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Ayrell inhales a great swallow of air.

PAIN! Talons and barbs twist along your insides and you gasp in sudden, almost absurd agony! Your whole body tenses, and you turn slightly, finding yourself face to face with a hooded figure. A blinding rainbowed light tears from the figure's hood, and you make out a massive maw screaming "LIRAXES ASSERTS ITSELF!" before everything goes white. You blink, and your vision returns to normal, the pain receding.

Ayrell winces.

You flinch.

Crobin pats Vaerek on the back.

Ayrell says, "Oh dear..."

Vaerek smiles at Crobin.

You say, "PAIN! Talons and barbs twist along your insides and you gasp in sudden, almost absurd agony! Your whole body tenses, and you turn slightly, finding yourself face to face with a hooded figure. A blinding rainbowed light tears from the figure's hood, and you make out a massive maw screaming "LIRAXES ASSERTS ITSELF!" before everything goes white. You blink, and your vision returns to normal, the pain receding."

Tirost nods to Yvela.

Nawain winces.

Allye quirks her ears outward in surprise.

Vaerek glances up at the sky.

After a few moments he lowers his gaze.

Ciarelle winces.

Rileos gazes off into the distance.

A pained expression crosses Navesi's face.

Yvela frowns.

Anuril moves over to guard Kethrai.

Rileos says, "That's...not ideal either."

Anuril casually observes the area.

Jaelia frowns.

Kethrai says, "You described the shards falling from the sky as rainbowed light earlier."

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Nawain nods in agreement.

Tirost frowns.

Crobin nods to Kethrai.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Ezathiel shakes his head.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

Vaerek nods to you.

Vaerek slowly empties his lungs.

Ezathiel softly asks you, "You all right?"

Ayrell softly says, "Well, that sounds like an unsettling future..."

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

After a few moments she lowers her gaze.

You say, "Okay... I think the remaining names I have on the list are Navesi and Nawain, if you're still up for it after hearing about that one."

Eyst ponders.

You grin wryly.

Navesi gives a slight nod.

Rileos raises his hand.

Ezathiel furrows his brow.

You nod to Rileos.

Vaerek nods to you.

Anuril says to Kethrai, "That box turning into the sphere, could also represent Grazhir."

Rileos says to Ayrell, "You need a chair or somethin? That sounded bad."

Jaelia stands up.

Crobin asks, "Whats the worst that could happen?"

Crobin chuckles.

Kethrai says to Anuril, "Mmh... Yeah, I suppose it could. A hollow container shaped like an orb..."

You ask Navesi, "Okay... ready?"

Ciarelle says to Crobin, "Oh, the universe itself could sort of melt into something unrecognizable, apparently."

Ayrell nods to Rileos.

Vaerek says to Nawain, "Gather your mental fortitude."

Navesi nods.

You gaze at Navesi.

Nawain nods to Vaerek.

Crobin nods to Ciarelle.

You focus inwardly searching for insight into Navesi's future.

Everything shifts weirdly, and you feel off... The feeling passes.

Kerennya says, "Those shapes made me think of the shapes on the telescope in the planar observatory."

(Navesi draws herself up to her full, commanding, height.)

Briaen touches the kyanite stones on his gwethdesuan.

Crobin says, "Well at least I haven't used the q word to go with it."

Tirost gazes at Navesi.

Ayrell softly says to Rileos, "When having your future told, that is... not quite what one hopes to hear..."

Everything wavers, and you feel wildly disoriented. You find yourself looking down an endless hallway filled with featureless doors. One of the doors opens, and an old woman emerges, closing the door behind her. She turns to you, and waves a hand in irritation, and calls out in a firm but reasoned tone, "Alright, enough, you've pushed your luck enough! Go, before they take note!" She opens the door to step through, and you catch a glimpse of kaleidoscopic lights, swirling galaxies, and find your mind pulled forward. The door shuts, and locks, and the vision fades.

Rileos offers Ayrell a compact wood-framed recliner with a golden rat emblem.

Nawain gazes at Vaerek.

Ayrell accepts Rileos's compact recliner.

Ayrell chuckles at Rileos.

Vaerek says to Nawain, "I found breathing helps."

You say, "Everything wavers, and you feel wildly disoriented. You find yourself looking down an endless hallway filled with featureless doors. One of the doors opens, and an old woman emerges, closing the door behind her. She turns to you, and waves a hand in irritation, and calls out in a firm but reasoned tone, "Alright, enough, you've pushed your luck enough! Go, before they take note!" She opens the door to step through, and you catch a glimpse of kaleidoscopic lights, swirling galaxies, and find your mind pulled forward. The door shuts, and locks, and the vision fades."

Nawain inhales a great swallow of air.

Nawain slowly empties her lungs.

Ciarelle laughs!

Navesi gnaws on her lip.

Vaerek inhales a great swallow of air.

Ciarelle says, "Ok we should *definitely* do at least one more."

Anuril nods.

Ayrell ponders.

Vaerek gazes absently at Nawain, almost staring through her.

Rileos nods at Ciarelle, obviously agreeing with her views.

Anuril shakes his head.

Kerennya asks, "I wonder if that's about the visions?"

Anuril says, "We should listen to her."

You say, "That... does sound like a warning, yes."

Eyst says, "Quite direct."

Saragos drums his fingers on his leather holster.

Yvela chuckles.

Ciarelle nods to Kerennya.

Ayrell nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views.

Illiya asks you, "I'm on your list right?"

Vaerek slowly empties his lungs.

Ezathiel chuckles at Ciarelle.

Kethrai asks, "But visions are about the future, right? So the warning... hasn't happened yet?"

Crobin asks, "What happens if you read the same person again?"

Kethrai says, "Oogh, my head."

Anuril grins at Kethrai.

Nevali says, "I'm... going home..."

Illiya grins at Nevali, her dimples flashing into view.

Crobin pats Nevali on the back.

Anuril grins at Nevali.

Navesi says, "Sometimes only a few seconds into the future I suspect."

Rileos says to you, "Well, if you wanna do more I'm willin to knock on the door that don't want me if you are."

Rileos appears to be trying hard not to grin.

The stars vibrate slightly, and everything shudders as the mana streams realign, resettle, and briefly calm. You hear them singing, exhausted, and unwilling to share more.

You say to Illiya, "Ah, sorry about that. Been trying to work with some speed. That leaves a few names left on the list, but I am slightly hesitant now."

Hanryu says, "I think I'll take the old woman's advice."

Vaerek nods to Nawain.

Hanryu says, "It's getting late anyway."

Crobin says, "I would like to go back to the obseratory and have a forture read there."

You say, "Hmm... The mana streams seem to have settled a bit."

Crobin waves to Hanryu.

Hanryu says, "Safe paths everyone."

Tirost nods to Hanryu.

Saragos says to Crobin, "You're not going to be happy until something there eats you."

Saragos grins at Crobin.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

You say, "I think we may have wrung everything we can from the stars via this experiment."

Crobin says, "Maybe."

You feel odd a moment, and the feeling quickly passes. Everything feels... normal? again.

Kerennya asks, "A forture? LIke a cross between torture and fortune?"

Crobin chuckles at Saragos.

Tirost chuckles at Saragos.

Crobin grumbles.

Kerennya holds her hand up before her mouth and begins to cough, her shoulders shaking. Hope it's not contagious!

Kethrai casually observes the area.

Crobin says, "I don't like being watched."

Rileos says, "Damn. Didn't get to see the future."

Jaelia frowns.

Ezathiel casually observes the area.

Sofina nods to Elore.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

Ayrell ponders.

Ezathiel softly asks, "Hm normal?"

Allye twitches.

Ciarelle says to Rileos, "Bit of a mixed bag."

You put your ball in your researcher's backpack.

Crobin asks, "Is that you Palreg...or is that the old woman?"

Briaen gazes up at the sky.

You get a worn leather astronomer's journal from inside your scholar's valise.

You release the clasp on your astronomer's journal and open it.

Rileos says to Ciarelle, "Always is, darlin."

Yvela asks you, "Do you have an inkling who the woman meant by 'they' will take note?"

Kethrai says, "That... felt a bit like the other time, when Meraud stepped in and protected us."

Ciarelle winks at Rileos.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

Ayrell offers Rileos a compact wood-framed recliner with a golden rat emblem.

Rileos says to Ayrell, "You can keep that if you want, I got extras."

Elore grins at Sofina.

Rileos grins at Ayrell.

Crobin says, "If you are going to watch us you could at least show your face and say hi."

Ayrell smiles at Rileos.

(Miskton begins scribbling down notes at high speed in his journal.)

Ayrell says to Rileos, "Thank you."

Rileos declines Ayrell's offer.

Ciarelle says to Crobin, "I think she did."

Sofina gives Elore a gentle poke in the ribs.

Briaen gazes at you.

Ezathiel pleasantly says, "And to think all this time I have been thinking it was all just the World Dragon having nightmares."

Jaelia says, "They taking note isn't necessarily a positive or negative thing. It could go either way. One shouldn't necessarily hide what they are doing due to it."

Rileos says to Ayrell, "S'why I gave you the nice chair."

Ayrell chuckles at Rileos.

Crobin says, "We are being watched, do a reading now."

You say, "There is quite a lot to think on here..."

Ayrell says to Rileos, "You are always so sweet."

Tirost nods to you.

Vaerek nods to you.

Eyst says to Yvela, "If it's Liraxes then that would have some interesting implications."

Kethrai observes Crobin with fascination.

Saragos asks Kethrai, "When did Meraud step in?"

Rileos waves dismissively.

Yvela nods to Eyst.

Crobin asks, "There is a stronger power, or a different power watching over us for one reason or another...try another reading?"

Kethrai says to Crobin, "I'm not getting the sense of being observed..."

You say, "I will definitely have to go over all of this at the next visions meeting, but I'll try to get some thoughts together before then."

Crobin asks, "You didn't sense that?"

Crobin angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Kethrai.

Anuril squints at Crobin.

You ponder.

Nawain glances at Crobin.

Kethrai says, "I sensed things feeling odd... then it stopped, and things felt normal again."

Ezathiel nods to Kethrai.

Ayrell nods to Kethrai.

You say, "I felt something similar, yes."

Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Same."

Yvela nods.

Saragos says to Kethrai, "I felt that too. I was wondering what happened with Meraud in the past that it reminded you of."

Tirost glances at Saragos.

Crobin ponders.

Rileos asks Crobin, "Are you just sayin this so that you get to be the one feelin somethin weird and the rest of us are lookin around like jackasses?"

Crobin says, "Maybe I am just imagining things."

Rileos looks at Crobin, obviously trying not to grin.

You ask Crobin, "You wouldn't have felt the mana settle down though, would you? And then you felt observed again?"

Kethrai says to Saragos, "During the vigil, when everything seemed to spin out of control for a brief moment, and then things went back to feeling... normal. More normal, at least."

Illiya grins at Rileos, her dimples flashing into view.

Kethrai says, "Same sense of reality reasserting itself, I guess."

Crobin says, "I don't normally feel magics like you all do."

Ciarelle nods to Kethrai.

Saragos nods to Kethrai.

Tirost says to Saragos, "There was darkness and silver stars overcomming my sight - then a wolf's howl, and golden lightning. Then I recovered."

Crobin says, "I can feel when surges happen here and there, but that is about it."

Saragos blinks at Tirost.

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Illiya says, "It happened during Jaelia's vigil."

Saragos says, "That's comforting, at least."

Saragos says, "Ah, I wasn't able to make that."

Saragos nods.

Anuril ponders.

Tirost says, "Very much so, but also harrowing."

Ciarelle waves.

Sofina chortles softly at some secret joke.

Sofina's group went through a wooden gate.

Jaelia nods in agreement.

You say to Crobin, "Maybe whatever it was, was listening to you when you talked about being more stealthy. But still isn't able to hide from you."

Anuril asks you, "The Unknown is reported to have landed in the sea? There was a vision of something sinking into the deep ocean?"

Crobin looks at you and shrugs.

You nod to Anuril.

Anuril asks you, "The deep ocean where large pieces of Grazhir may be?"

Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.

You say to Anuril, "A crystal very similar to those from the Unknown, sinking into an abyss."

Anuril nods.

Anuril ponders.

Jaelia says, "I think taking out some ships and doing divinations or explorations or Vigils on a boat or at sea might be a way to deal with Wild Magic and the idea a piece of the Nascent is in the sea - but I held that before the mana even started to become super wild."

Yvela asks, "But the oddities with mana began.. many years before that thing arrived here, no?"

Yvela says, "On a smaller scale."

Rileos says to Yvela, "But it was gettin closer that whole time."

Kethrai nods to Rileos.

Jaelia glances up at the sky.

Illiya asks, "What other times has the old lady appeared?"

Ruea came through a wooden gate.

Yvela nods to Rileos.

Kethrai says, "No telling how long it was getting closer before we could see it."

Ruea leans on Ayrell.

Ruea gazes at her fingernails.

Ayrell smiles at Ruea.

Illiya waves to Ruea.

Crobin just hugged Ruea.

Ruea waves to Illiya.

Kethrai hugs Ruea, who wraps her arms around Kethrai with a warm smile.

You nod politely to Ruea.

Ayrell hugs Ruea, who wraps her arms around Ayrell with a warm smile.

Ezathiel appears to be listening intently for something.

Tirost asks Jaelia, "Do you think it's possible the Unknown was the seed of Liraxes?"

Ruea says to you, "I apologize for missing all the good parts, it took me a while to pick an outfit."

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

Anuril says, "Assembles itself is such strange phrasing... mechanical."

Illiya grins at Ruea, her dimples flashing into view.

Tirost nods to Anuril.

Illiya nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views.

Ruea smiles at Tirost.

Rileos nods at Anuril, obviously agreeing with his views.

Rileos just hugged Ruea.

You say, "After all of that... I think I need a drink."

You pour yourself a goblet of black suur. Cheers!

Anuril grins at you.

Tirost says to Anuril, "I think the same."

You take a sip of the suur.

Ruea hugs Rileos, who wraps his arms around Ruea with a warm smile.

Vaerek grins at you.

Rileos nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Tirost smiles at Ruea.

Ezathiel chuckles at you!

Ezathiel pats you on the back.

Kethrai says to Anuril, "The thing itself was. Crystalline, mechanical. Much like the scuttlers..."

Tirost says to Ruea, "You're past fashionably late this time."

Anuril says, "Like the scuttlers assembled things, prior to the fight with the Unknown. Like the custodians on the plane of electricity assemble things."

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Kethrai nods to Anuril.

Illiya says to Anuril, "Oh very interesting point."

Ruea says to Tirost, "I'll defenstrate myself later."

Ruea winks at Tirost.

Illiya nods to Kethrai.

Vaerek nods to you.

You take a sip of the suur. Smooth and pleasant ... warms your throat!

Crobin says, "Can I pick the window/."

Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Crobin angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Ruea.

Kerennya taps something inside her mariner's rucksack.

Ruea says to Crobin, "You are a monster, I'm so sweet to you."

Ruea begins pouting.

Kerennya gets a pitcher of Lime Sublime rum from inside her mariner's rucksack.

Grinning, Kerennya pulls a swig from a pitcher of Lime Sublime rum.

Crobin says, "You didn't hug me."

Crobin's ears droop for a moment as he gazes sadly at Ruea.

Ruea says, "Oh goodness."

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

Crobin chuckles.

You say, "Thank you all for participating. Having a variety of subjects to predict on may have been very helpful to the outcome we had here."

Crobin says, "I would now block you from going out a window."

Illiya asks, "The vision with the fish was the most striking to me, did it mean something the black red and blue fish were circling us, sort of orbiting, while the white one swam away?"

Anuril nods to you.

Ayrell nods to you.

Kethrai says, "I'm calling it -- mine was the nicest vision."

Yvela nods to you.

Rileos flashes a quick grin at Kethrai.

Illiya grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Allye begins chortling at Kethrai.

You grin at Kethrai.

Ezathiel pleasantly says to you, "Quite... confusingly interesting."

Ezathiel smiles at you.

Anuril says to Illiya, "The white one wasn't in an orbit, but was still here."

Ruea says to Kethrai, "As well it should be."

Allye says to Kethrai, "Was it a contest? I fear I've failed miserably."

Tirost says to you, "I feel like I have a troubling amount of information that I cannot act on."

Illiya exclaims, "I didn't get a vision and I saved my wild research for you Miskton!"

Nawain ponders.

Yvela says to you, "Well done. It's good to have confirmation that Liraxes is related to this afterall."

Illiya sticks her tongue out at you in a playfully teasing manner.

Ruea takes a sip of her wine.

Jaelia gazes at Illiya.

Ayrell asks Kethrai, "I am not sure I win anything for saying mine was the worst?"

Crobin asks, "Do you think someone is trying to pull the old moon back to the sky?"

Rileos nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.

Jaelia says to Illiya, "You are always a Vision, dear."

Kethrai says to Ayrell, "No, but you're right..."

Rileos says to Illiya, "The future has escaped us."

Jaelia beams at Illiya!

Ezathiel chuckles at Ayrell.

Ayrell chuckles.

Illiya beams at Jaelia!

Tirost says to Ayrell, "Yours was the worst."

Tirost says to Yvela, "And then yours."

You say to Illiya, "Apologies. Was too easy to get wrapped up in the excitement."

Kerennya says to Crobin, "I kinda wondered about that myself."

Illiya says to you, "No worries I'm just teasing."

Ezathiel pleasantly says to Ayrell, "Sleep well tonite."

Ezathiel chuckles at Ayrell.

Allye says, "Take care, everyone."

Ayrell begins chortling at Ezathiel.

Illiya says, "I don't know if I would want to experience some of those visions."

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

Illiya hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.

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

Allye hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Allye's ears perk up happily.

Crobin nods to Kerennya.

Yvela asks Tirost, "How does your bell relate, I wonder?"

You say to Illiya, "A couple were actually nice! Most... were not."

Ayrell says to Ezathiel, "After that, I may not sleep at all."

Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Safe paths everyone. Mind the mana."

Ezathiel waves.

Ayrell gazes up at the sky.

Crobin taps a curving bloodwood branch that he is holding.

Ayrell waves to Ezathiel.

Rileos says to Ayrell, "Whiskey helps."

Crobin asks, "I mean...realaly all of this about the moons, maybe the L things are trying to bring the moon back?"

Nawain stands up.

Rileos nods to Ayrell.

Ayrell nods to Rileos.

Jaelia asks, "For the letters of the Liraxes, how many letters did we get in, three or four?"

Tirost says to Yvela, "It's a good question. Saragos mentioned it reminded him of Other Sight."

Rileos says to Jaelia, "Three."

Kerennya says, "Three."

Ayrell says to Rileos, "Perhaps I will forgo the tea for tonight, then."

Illiya nods to Rileos.

Rileos flashes a quick grin at Ayrell.

Ruea rubs Ayrell gently, massaging her muscles.

Nawain thoughtfully says, "I think I'm going to call it.. Hmm. Lyrooxis. Just in case people are right, and attention is drawn when we use the name it chose for itself."

Nawain nods.

Yvela nods to Tirost.

Nawain waves.

Crobin just hugged Nawain.

Illiya just hugged Nawain.

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

Nawain hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Crobin carefully lifts the puppy by the scruff of its neck and then tucks it gently into the crook of his arm.

Crobin tucks his pug puppy into its comfortable-looking guard house.

Illiya asks, "Does anyone know the mage Otherion?"

Vaerek says, "Take care everyone."

Vaerek waves.

Ayrell nods politely to Vaerek.

Jaelia says, "Well of 7 potential stages of it, I wonder if we have tapped into 3 or 4 of the things known regarding it. But that is probably a bit too concrete for a Vision."

Crobin pats Vaerek on the back.

Illiya just hugged Vaerek.

Saragos nods to Vaerek.

Kerennya waves to Vaerek.

Crobin says, "Just from yesterday."

Ayrell nods to Tirost.

Yvela nods to Crobin.

Tirost sighs.

Yvela says, "Likewise."

Jaelia says, "I have known Otherion for a bit."

Anuril leans on Tirost.

Illiya says, "I need to speak with him."

Kethrai looks at Tirost and sighs.

Anuril says to Tirost, "Classic."

Tirost asks Anuril, "Right?"

Tirost blushes a bright red color.

Rileos grasps his chin roughly and jerks it to the side. You hear a loud pop and see him visibly relax.

Anuril says to Tirost, "That's why we nod to people."

Kethrai says to Illiya, "He tends to be around later in the andu, when he is."

Anuril winks.

Rileos says, "Well, that was really productive."

Tirost laughs!

Tirost nods to Anuril.

Illiya asks Jaelia, "You mean L I R as indicating the first three stages of a 7-stage assembly?"

Illiya nods to Kethrai.

Illiya says to Kethrai, "I shall look around later then."

Crobin asks, "How do you spell the L ones they spoke about?"

Tirost says, "The fish vision was interesting as well - particularly the white fish that was distant, but still present..."

Saragos says to Yvela, "Hexagons always make me think of the elements. Let me pass you some of my notes, tell me what you think."

You carefully mark your place and close your astronomer's journal, securing the clasp.

Ayrell nods to Tirost.

Anuril nods to Tirost.

Yvela nods to Saragos.

Yvela says, "Certainly."

You say to Crobin, "I think it's l i r a x e s."

Crobin says, "So 3rd stage of the name then."

Illiya says, "If that is what that indicates."

Tirost asks Saragos, "Mind if I take a look at those notes as well?"

Crobin says, "L-I-R-A-X-E-S."

Saragos nods to Tirost.

(Saragos passes Tirost a sheet of paper.)

You put your journal in your scholar's valise.

You take a sip of the suur.

Tirost smiles at Saragos.

Anuril takes a sip of his beer.

Anuril ponders.

Tirost says to Saragos, "Thanks."

You put your tome in your scholar's valise.

Saragos nods to Tirost.

Crobin says, "SO is it odd."

Anuril says to Saragos, "The bell did seem elemental."

Saragos nods to Anuril.

Crobin says, "That the third stage starts with R."

Crobin asks, "And we are in the research stage?"

Illiya ponders.

Anuril snorts at Crobin.

Rileos looks at Crobin and shrugs.

Anuril grins.

Illiya asks, "What would the L and I be then?"

Rileos says to Illiya, "Lazy and incoming."

Rileos nods to Illiya.

Illiya laughs at Rileos.

Anuril takes a sip of his beer.

Crobin says, "Just a thought is all."

Tirost scratches his storm-grey cat.

Anuril says to Saragos, "I sort of thought that orlog vision was telling you to get back to fixing the plane of electricity."

Anuril grins at Saragos.

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Tirost glances at a storm-grey cat with gold-flecked crystal blue eyes.

Tirost asks, "Any theories?"

Yvela says to Saragos, "I can see why your mind was drawn to this. Very interesting."

The storm-grey cat wakes up and purrs, "A being called Liraxes is going to destroy your plane?"

Tirost sighs.

Anuril holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.

Crobin says, "Attempt to destroy."

Crobin says, "That is why we are here."

Saragos grins at Tirost.

Crobin smiles at a storm-grey cat.

Tirost nods to Crobin.

Illiya says, "Not while Crobin is on the job."

Crobin nods to Illiya.

The storm-grey cat purrs, "Optimism is useful."

Crobin says, "I will face the dragons themselves to defend where I live."

Tirost says, "I agree. For once."

Jaelia says, "They may be coming for yours, good cat."

Anuril takes a sip of his beer.

Yvela says, "Destruction is rarely the end goal. Perhaps the consequence, though."

Jaelia says, "We are working to stop all of that regardless."

Saragos says to Yvela, "Maybe our upcoming attempt to use Othersight to gather information is going to be more eventful than we thought."

Rileos glances at a storm-grey cat with gold-flecked crystal blue eyes.

Yvela ponders.

The storm-grey cat purrs, "I will remain vigilant, Mother Jaelia."

Yvela nods to Saragos.

Ruea raises an eyebrow in Ayrell's direction.

Illiya asks, "As of now we have no idea what it wants. Could it possibly be... benevolent?"

Kerennya shakes her head as if clearing it.

Ayrell nods to Saragos.

Rileos says, "I will never get used to talkin with familiars."

Rileos shakes his head.

Jaelia says, "It is most appreciated, Cat of Beautiful Name I can never remember how to pronounce."

Crobin says, "Rileos you have problems talking with people at times still."

Ayrell softly says, "Those predictions did not give an air of benevolence..."

Tirost chuckles at Jaelia.

Eyst nods in agreement.

Rileos nods at Crobin, obviously agreeing with his views.

Anuril nods to Ayrell.

You say, "The one Ayrell experienced, in particular."

Ayrell nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Illiya says to Ayrell, "No, but I guess.. just trying to think optimistically."

Crobin asks, "SHe had the fish yes?"

Rileos says to Crobin, "S'why I'm good with my hands. Ain't good with nothin else."

Saragos says to Illiya, "I mean... we don't have the best track record of anything we meet out there being benevolent."

Ayrell smiles at Illiya.

Rileos looks at Crobin, obviously trying not to grin.

Anuril asks, "This name first showed up on the expedition last andu? To the observatory?"

Illiya says, "I think she had the appendages."

Kethrai says, "The one Ayrell saw almost felt like a... direct attack."

(Saragos gestures vaguely at the sky.)

You nod to Anuril.

Illiya grins at Saragos, her dimples flashing into view.

Illiya says to Saragos, "True."

Ayrell nods to Kethrai.

You say to Anuril, "I had never heard it before, at least."

Crobin chuckles at Rileos.

Kethrai says, "Like, our efforts were being noticed and rebuffed."

Ruea frowns at Ayrell.

Crobin says, "Fair enough sir."

Anuril makes a grunting noise.

Saragos nods to Kethrai.

Jaelia beams!

Jaelia says, "Pangovin, it is always a pleasure."

Ayrell says, "Perhaps I have angered it? Though I am unsure how."

Rileos says to Kethrai, "But that's good, that means it has somethin to hide or protect if it's reactin to bein poked."

Ayrell ponders.

Crobin asks, "Ayrell did you poke it with a stick?"

The storm-grey cat purrs, "For me as well."

Jaelia says, "May you walk in the Favor of the Immortals. I am tired, and I seek a time of meditation to recover."

Jaelia waves.

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

Illiya hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Illiya with a warm smile.

Mother Jaelia went through a wooden gate.

Tirost smiles jaelia

Crobin says, "Night Jaelia."

Ayrell says to herself, "I suppose it is possible. It research books are sticks."

Ayrell chuckles.

Ayrell says, "If.."

Ruea says to Ayrell, "How could you anger anyone? You're the sweetest person in the world when you're not literally on a war path."

Ayrell coughs.

Ruea takes a sip of her wine.

Crobin says, "Well I have seen many people throwing books so."

Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Kethrai says to Ayrell, "I don't know if it's you specifically, so much as... We're down here asking questions about it, and it noticed. You happened to be near the end of the readings."

Eyst says, "The only sense I've gotten so far is that the thing simply intends to BE, regardless if that is for good or ill."

Ayrell nods to Kethrai.

Yvela nods to Eyst.

Ayrell says to Kethrai, "That remains an unsettling thought, but perhaps less unsettling than being singled out by it."

Ayrell chuckles.

Tirost asks Eyst, "The nature of the visions - particularly the one with the arms underground seem destructive, no?"

Kerennya smiles at a storm-grey cat.

Ruea stretches out a hand imploringly to Rileos.

Rileos glances at Ruea.

Ruea takes a sip of her wine.

Rileos rolls his eyes.

Rileos opens his leather satchel.

Illiya asks you, "May I ask why you thought to attempt the predictions, and why at this place?"

Kethrai says, "It seemed like this entity was associated with the rainbow-color objects, and we had the vision of the sky raining destruction in rainbow-colored shards."

Rileos gets a long celadon cigarillo printed with yellow blossoms from inside a velvet-lined gold cigarillo case.

Rileos offers Ruea a long celadon cigarillo printed with yellow blossoms.

(Tirost glances at a storm-grey cat as it nuzzles against Kerennya)

Ruea accepts Rileos's celadon cigarillo.

Ruea gets a small silver dragon from inside her hunting pack.

Kethrai says, "I think 'for ill' is the more likely."

Anuril nods to Kethrai.

Ayrell nods to Kethrai.

Ruea points her silver dragon at a long celadon cigarillo and a flame shoots from the creature's mouth, making the cigarillo quickly catch fire.

Ruea puts her dragon in her feyweave purse.

Rileos says to Ruea, "One of these days I'll make you buy your own damn smokes."

Crobin says, "I can't research like you all do."

Ruea takes a long drag off of a burning celadon cigarillo.

Ayrell says to Kethrai, "I am inclined to agree."

Ruea says to Rileos, "Liar."

Rileos takes a long drag off of a burning pink cigarillo.

Rileos allows a line of smoke to rise from his mouth. Rileos sighs, releasing the smoke gradually so it envelops him in aromatic warmth. The refined scent of fresh rose petals emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a familiar, sophisticated aroma.

Ruea exhales at an even pace, looking serene as the smoke blossoms in the air like flowers on a sunny spring day. The peaceful scent of fresh lavender emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with an agreeable, unobtrusive aroma.

Rileos closes his leather satchel.

Crobin says, "But I think I may run to do a bit of shopping adn then meditate a bit myself."

Tirost chuckles at Ruea.

Anuril snaps his fingers.

Anuril nods to Crobin.

Rileos says to Ruea, "You're right, but it feels good to say."

Crobin pats Anuril on the back.

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

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

Crobin gives Rileos a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles.

Tirost says to Rileos, "She's so confident. It's impressive everytime."

Crobin hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Crobin just hugged Ruea.

Ruea chuckles at Rileos.

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

Rileos nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.

Crobin waves to Navesi.

Kethrai says, "I must say, on behalf of Hodierna, I object to this being trying to ruin rainbows."

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

Crobin waves to Saragos.

Illiya nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.

Anuril grins at Kethrai.

Tirost says, "Take care."

Tirost smiles.

Rileos says to Tirost, "I've been arguin with this woman my entire life and I ain't won yet. She's fantastic."

Ayrell says, "And somehow, with the vision of the fish in the colors of the moons, I still feel like this is connected to the Immortals somehow."

Illiya says, "Normally I love rainbows."

Crobin waves to Eyst.

Ayrell nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Crobin waves to Kerennya.

Ruea asks Ayrell, "Excessive drinking?"

Tirost chuckles at Rileos.

Crobin hugs Ayrell, getting a smile in return.

Ruea takes a long drag off of a burning celadon cigarillo.

Crobin waves to Yvela.

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

Ruea lofts several strands of smoke from between her lips that twist together, creating an image of a sleepy dragon. The dragon raises its angular head, rolls over onto its side and then lies down, slowly closing its eyes.

Rileos casually flicks some ashes off the end of his pink cigarillo.

Yvela says to Tirost, "A person might tramble and destroy the home of a bug without meaning them any ill will. If this thing is of god-like scale, what we're experiencing might just be the repercussions of it.. moving."

Crobin says, "You all have a good evening, Saragos see you in a ew days."

Yvela nods to Crobin.

Crobin says, "Few even."

Ruea casually flicks some ashes off the end of her celadon cigarillo.

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

Rileos asks Ruea, "By the by, do you know this one?"

Rileos takes a long drag off of a burning pink cigarillo.

Tirost says to Yvela, "Certainly possible."

Illiya says to Crobin, "Be good..."

Blowing out some smoke, Rileos creates three small smoke rings which two settle around his arm like bracelets, the third on one of his fingers. The rings seem to sparkle with precious jewels.

Saragos nods to Crobin.

Saragos says, "I'."

Saragos clears his throat.

Crobin laughs!

Illiya asks Crobin, "Or good at it?"

Crobin says, "Never."

Illiya laughs!

Ruea exclaims to Rileos, "No I do not!"

Ruea begins pouting.

Crobin winks at Illiya.

Saragos says, "I'm going to have to get going as well. Everyone take care."

Rileos says to Ruea, "You should."

Rileos nods to Ruea.

Illiya exclaims to Crobin, "I was trying to do your catchphrase!"

Saragos gives a courteous nod and tips his hat politely.

Crobin says, "You nailed it."

Crobin smiles at Illiya.

Illiya beams at Crobin!

Illiya bobs a quick curtsy to Saragos.

Crobin says, "Night all."
