Zithri/Logs/AntiNecro1
[The Crossing, Town Green Pond]
You stand on the bank of a tiny pond in the middle of the square. Cool water laps against the soft, velvety silt that covers the shore, and in the distance you can hear the bustle of the town. Sitting in the middle of the pond is a massive gelapod, looking content and not the least bit aggressive. You also see some wooden benches, a simple wooden picnic table covered in gingham with several things on it and a domesticated gelapod.
Also here: Brandit.
Obvious paths: out.
Amabalis followed.
Brandit raises an eyebrow.
You say, "S'pose we missed 'em."
Brandit bows his head and chants a prayer.
Amabalis slowly empties her lungs.
Amabalis waves her hand distractedly.
You say to Brandit, "Lookin' for a dark lookin' fella..."
You say, "Yay tall."
You smile and stands on his tip-toes.
Amabalis says, "He didnt call off duty."
You flatly say, "He didn't."
Brandit says, "Hmm... can't say that I've seen anyone like that."
You fold your arms across your chest.
You sigh.
Amabalis says, "Maybe you can request help."
Brandit says, "But, then again, I just recently came back to the area."
Brandit asks, "Are you in need of some sort of help?"
You concentrate on projecting your thoughts.
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Oh me, oh my... I have this terribly complicated deobar box that could use an expert locksmith..."
Amabalis says, "We were looking for a friend of his."
You softly say, "Ours."
You give Amabalis a gentle poke in the ribs.
Amabalis says, "Thats to be determined."
Amabalis grins, revealing her dimples.
You chuckle.
You laughingly say, "Fair enough."
Amabalis says, "You play a great elf in distress."
You say in Ilithic, "I forget... it's always nice to speak our native tongue when in the presence of others like us."
You chuckle at Amabalis.
You ask in Ilithic, "You think so?"
Amabalis nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
You preen!
You playfully say in Ilithic, "I've been workin' on it lately."
Amabalis says, "I love it."
You chortle softly at some secret joke.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "So true."
You hug Amabalis who wraps her arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of peaches clings to her skin.
You ponder.
Amabalis hugs you, and you wrap your arms around her with a warm smile.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "I don't think we've met..."
You gaze thoughtfully at Brandit.
Amabalis grins at Brandit, her dimples flashing into view.
You confidently say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Zithri. Ranger Extraordinaire."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Brandit, of the Clerics Guild."
Brandit grins.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Im Ama."
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Pleasure to meet ya, Brandit."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Not sure I quite rise to the Extraordinaire point just yet."
Brandit chuckles.
Amabalis looks over Brandit very closely.
You confidently say to Brandit in Ilithic, "In time, you'll get there."
You wink at Brandit.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "We will dare to dream."
Brandit smiles.
Amabalis says to Brandit in Ilithic, "Im gonna have to say you are."
You grin at Brandit.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "She never lies."
Amabalis exclaims in Ilithic, "Never!"
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Where is the green."
Brandit ponders.
[General] Your mind hears Darkewolff thinking, "I am not hard to find if you know where to look. The Green is an excellent place to find that which you seek."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Blah. Everywhere is so Green during Spring."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I typically think of this area as the Green..."
You loudly say in Ilithic, "SAME."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Same."
You say in Ilithic, "He's playin' awfully coy."
You flatly say in Ilithic, "And we don't like it."
You fold your arms across your chest.
Amabalis pats you on the back.
You cautiously ask Brandit in Ilithic, "Can I ask?"
Brandit raises an eyebrow.
You ask Brandit in Ilithic, "Which Immortal do you pray to?"
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I wanted to know too."
You matter-of-factly say in Ilithic, "I've never been much into the Gods and Goddesses."
Amabalis beams at you! What a warm feeling!
You stand near Amabalis.
Amabalis leans on you.
Amabalis asks you in Ilithic, "Who do you pray to?"
Brandit raises his voice in reverent praise, "Honor be to Asketi of the Northern Wind. Spare our fields, and our souls."
Brandit gets a chalice from inside his backpack.
Brandit goes out.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Ohhhh dark."
Brandit just arrived.
You shudder.
You say in Ilithic, "Dark-dark."
Brandit smiles.
Amabalis asks in Ilithic, "Like argueably the darkest am i right?"
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Apologies. You reminded me I was behind in my communion."
You smile.
You say to Amabalis in Ilithic, "Yeah. I think so. But again, I don't follow 'em much."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I give reverence to the entirety."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Dont wanna make that god mad."
You shudder.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Sounds like A LOT of prayer."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Though, in my most recent seasons, I have been beseeching Asketi."
You give a slight nod.
Amabalis nods.
You dully say in Ilithic, "I cannae be bothered."
You quietly say in Ilithic, "Don't tell Damaris that."
You cough.
Amabalis grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.
You say in Ilithic, "I whisper a few sweet nothin's to 'er on occasion."
Brandit nods.
You say in Ilithic, "When I feel Zehira feelin' all blood-lusty."
Amabalis asks in Ilithic, "Isnt damaris a boy?"
Brandit nods to Amabalis.
Amabalis grins, revealing her dimples.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Ok."
You slowly say in Ilithic, "Oh. She/He never ever spoke back to me."
You worriedly ask in Ilithic, "Does that mean I'm shunned?"
You blink.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I suppose, when one thinks of the Immortals, they may very well transcend our concepts of gender."
You ask Amabalis in Ilithic, "See?"
You stand near Brandit.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Im trying to impress a handsome priest so ive been studying."
Brandit looks at Amabalis and blushes.
You try not to grin at Amabalis.
Amabalis grins, revealing her dimples.
Brandit ponders.
[General] Your mind hears Darkewolff thinking, "Locksmith Union locksmith off duty. Perhaps next time, friend."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "This deobar box ain't goin' anywhere. Next time, then!"
Brandit says in Ilithic, "It would be an act of hubris for me to say I can tell the will of the gods, though silence from the Assassin God may well be a blessing."
Amabalis grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.
Brandit ponders.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Ahh, that's good."
You shudder.
Amabalis says to Brandit in Ilithic, "Agreed."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Again, perhaps when I am 'Extraordinaire', I can speak with more authority."
Brandit grins.
You say in Ilithic, "Ya speakin' jus' fine."
You say in Ilithic, "Better than either of us."
You say in Ilithic, "Or me, at least."
You grin sheepishly.
Brandit chuckles.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I speak terribly all the time."
You smirk.
[General] Your mind hears Qij thinking, "You know, Zithri. I think we have a lot we can learn from you."
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Duh."
[General] Your mind hears Qij thinking, "And you just deliver a punchline like that. See?"
[General] You hear your mental voice echo, "I aim to please, my squat one."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "This is me attempting to look intellectual."
You chuckle.
You laughingly say in Ilithic, "She's humble too."
You give Amabalis a gentle poke in the ribs.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Though, if I may give some measure of explanation of my own focus, I do not beseech the darker aspects because I wish ill on the world. I believe that there must be balance, and that when these forces are not given due reverence, that is when they feel compelled to make their power known."
Amabalis leans on you.
You gaze thoughtfully at Brandit.
You slowly say in Ilithic, "Interestingly put."
Amabalis says to Brandit in Ilithic, "Well thank you for your service to our community."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Thanking the Black Unicorn for temperence, I hope, disinclines her from foregoing it."
You nod emphatically.
You say in Ilithic, "Makes sense."
You slowly say in Ilithic, "Though..."
You ponder.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I have a question about clericing."
Brandit smiles at Amabalis.
Brandit exclaims in Ilithic, "So do I!"
Brandit chuckles.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Arent clerics supposed to be fundamentally against necromancy."
Brandit nods.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Thought so."
You say in Ilithic, "I am sensin' that a lot of folks use that reasonin' to accept the part Necromancers play in our soci--."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I would say most well-minded folks are."
You say to Amabalis in Ilithic, "You're in me head today."
Amabalis nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Great minds."
Brandit ponders.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Again, I can only offer my own simple reasoning..."
You lean forward.
You quietly say in Ilithic, "I'm here for it."
Amabalis nods.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Me too."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I do not think the truly abhorrent thing of necromancy is its affiliation with death. Death, after all, is a natural part of life."
You give a slight nod.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "And, just as the gods provide balance to one another, we need death for new life to occur."
Amabalis nods.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Without winter, we would never have spring, and so forth..."
Brandit ponders.
You carefully say in Ilithic, "Trackin' with this line of thought, for the most part."
You give a slight nod.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Me too."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I would say, at least to my reasoning, the primary offense of Necromancy is the desire to violate that cycle, and starve the world of that balance, for personal gain."
You nod in agreement.
Amabalis points at Brandit.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "That part."
Amabalis nods.
You loudly say in Ilithic, "Yes, that part."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "If it were simply a preoccupation with death, honestly, they would not be that terribly different from my own season of contemplation."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I find it interesting when i see clerics being so friendly with necromancers."
You nod to Amabalis.
You nod at Brandit, in complete agreement with his views.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Aye. I too have seen and exacted a fair amount of death of me own."
You say in Ilithic, "But, it's quite different from the Necromancer's flavor and approach..."
Amabalis nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Brandit asks in Ilithic, "I am surprised to hear of brethren associating with necromancers. Are you sure they knew?"
You make a grunting noise.
You flatly say in Ilithic, "You must be new to the province."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Oh some are very vocal about it through the gweth."
Brandit says in Ilithic, "I have limited personal experience with necromancers, at least to my knowledge, but my understanding is they can quite cunningly conceal their practices."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "It screams ignorance to me."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "No these necromancers are loud and proud."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "And these clerics defend these necromancers."
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "I've heard them to be a slippery beast as well... but, the ones I do know have somehow garnered the favor of quite a few citizens -- some of which who are priest and priestess."
Brandit exclaims in Ilithic, "Ah, I am not currently a gweth user. I have enough challenge keeping track of my own thoughts. The idea of additional sounds overwhelming!"
Amabalis nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Brandit chuckles.
You look at Brandit and sigh.
You matter-of-factly say in Ilithic, "Well, there are times when your 'simple' perspective and voice is needed in a larger conversation."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I should get rid of my gweth."
You softly say in Ilithic, "We should work on gettin' ya a gweth."
You give Amabalis a gentle poke in the ribs.
You firmly say in Ilithic, "No."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Oh im too addicted i could never get rid of it."
You say in Ilithic, "We need more folks who can speak up against it... not less, or more apathy."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I just should."
You try not to grin at Amabalis.
You chuckle.
You lean to your left.
Brandit asks in Ilithic, "What is the reasoning providing by these clergy who support necromancy?"
Amabalis sighs.
Amabalis asks in Ilithic, "What is there reasoning ?"
Amabalis ponders.
You blink.
You say in Ilithic, "I think if it made sense to me... I might've bothered rememberin' what they said."
You shrug.
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I think they just wanna be against zithri most of the time."
You chortle softly at some secret joke.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "Surely, if they are offering that line of thought, they have prayed on the matter considerably."
You sigh.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Or, they've strayed."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "I dont think they think much."
Amabalis nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Brandit frowns.
You say to Brandit in Ilithic, "Not everyone is as devout as you seem to be."
You shrug.
Brandit says in Ilithic, "That is a troubling thought... hopefully this only a singular wayward spirit."
Amabalis says in Ilithic, "Unfortunately."
You distractedly say in Ilithic, "In any case..."
You smile.
Amabalis asks in Ilithic, "In any case a gweth?"
Bladesinger Styrgard just arrived.
Styrgard waves.
You say in Ilithic, "This was a good conversation. Eye-openin'."
You smile at Styrgard.
Brandit smiles.
You say to Styrgard, "Evenin."
Styrgard nods to you.
You stretch your arms. Feels great!
Styrgard says in a S'Kra accent, "Hello."
You distractedly say, "I should go stretch me legs. Get outta town before I start to itch."
You quietly say, "Ranger life and all that."
Amabalis is giggling at you.
Styrgard says in a S'Kra accent, "Good luck."
Amabalis says, "Me too."
Styrgard says in a S'Kra accent, "There dirt in the woods."
Amabalis says, "Except im not a ranger."
You smile at Amabalis.
Amabalis grins, revealing her dimples.
Brandit says, "Thank you for your conversation and insights. You have given me more to pray upon."
Brandit smiles.
You confidently say to Amabalis, "You'd make an excellent one."
Amabalis says, "And im going to the courtyard."
Amabalis beams at you! What a warm feeling!
You bow to Brandit.
Amabalis says, "Thank you."
Brandit bows to you.
Brandit bows to Amabalis.
You sheepishly say to Brandit, "Give Damaris my regards..."
You rub your neck.
You say to Brandit, "Tell HIM I'm sorry."
Brandit chuckles.
Amabalis giggles.
Amabalis gives you a gentle poke in the ribs.
You nervously say, "I always pictured supple breasts..."
Brandit says, "I'll be sure to bring it up at our next talk."
You groan.
You bop yourself over the head.
Brandit winks at you.
Amabalis says, "You always do."
You smirk.
You laugh at Amabalis!
Amabalis pats you on the back.
Amabalis laughs!
You say, "Until next time."
Amabalis waves.
You stumble out, leading your group.
