Zynell/Logs/The Waters of Truffenyi
The Waters of Trufenyi: Eluned
[Silvery Pool]
Sunlight sparkles over the pool like a thousand tiny gems among the ripples. The cool water laps against your skin in a soothing repetitive rhythm, relaxing your muscles and drawing you out of the shallows. Beneath your feet the pure white sand is smooth and clear of weeds. A lulling, meditative aura settles over the water.
Gragnel exclaims, "Yes, and more!"
You exclaim, "Where!"
Kilenti exclaims, "Right on time!"
Gragnel quickly says, "Hey there, everyone. We're going to get started in just a few roi. Just allowing a bit of extra time for any latecomers."
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "I am going to need a lot more towel than I have."
Ectheleon gasps at you!
Ectheleon says, "Zynell always arrives precisely on time."
Gragnel says, "Were gonna be leaving this spot and going to a special spot, so don't put down any roots or anything."
Leayne softly says, "Would be water logged if we stay here."

Gragnel says, "Oh, you're about to experience some real water logging."

Gragnel says, "If you can imagine, we're gonna get even wetter than this."

Gragnel gets a pitted iron comb from inside his leather longcoat.
Gragnel runs his iron comb through his hair.
Gragnel runs his iron comb through his hair.
Zalinyar says, "Great for waterboarding."
Medikaus blows steadily into his seaglass pipe, causing a large bubble to form on the rim of the bowl. It breaks away and floats up on the breeze.

Gragnel puts his comb in his leather longcoat.
Gragnel dusts himself off.

Crobin says, "NEVER."
Gragnel matter-of-factly says, "For any of you who haven't been paying attention to these numerous attempts we've been making to observe and praise our loving Immortals, I am Reverend Gragnel Durbin."
Medikaus blows into his pipe, and a large bubble forms around the rim of the bowl. It quickly drifts away and explodes with a loud *POP*! Smaller cousins to the mighty one follow behind it.

Gragnel smartly says, "But, only a fool would deny the presence of the Thirty-Nine in their entirety."
Gragnel says, "Like, really, you'd have to be some special kind of dumb to deny them. Moreso during these current trials and challenges we face from looming creatures in our skies."
Vythlak nods at Gragnel, obviously agreeing with his views.
Leayne giggles at Crobin.
Gragnel points up.
Leilanie glances up at the sky.

Leilanie grins at Gragnel.
Gragnel loudly says, "Now, I asked to lead this gathering because I wanted to personally take you on this journey we're about to begin in the name of Lady Eluned."
Gragnel says, "It's very interesting what happens in this area when you start to really think on the nature of the Immortals and of Eluned specifically. One might call it very transformative."
Vythlak lets out a hearty cheer for Gragnel!
Leayne ponders.
Gragnel wryly says, "For some Clerics, this might be something you've done already, so it shouldn't be that jarring this time around."
Gragnel smirks.
Gragnel says, "But, for the rest of you, it may be the first time with an experience like this."
Crobin says, "Hmm I have an idea of where this might be leading."
Gragnel confidentially says, "Never fear, for I am here to help you on your way."
Ezathiel raises an eyebrow.

So Many Fish!

Crobin says, "What my lawyer said last time."
Kilenti begins to meditate.
Miskton begins to meditate.

A crevice in the rock draws your attention and compels you to explore its shadowy depths. You swim quickly through, only to emerge into another pool.
[Crystal Cavern]
This tiny cavern inside the stone outcropping is alive with the sparkle of a thousand tiny crystals embedded into every facet of rock. The deep, cool waters of the hidden pool surround you, brushing against your skin and lapping at the base of a polished limestone statue of a dolphin emerging from the water. The pleasant echo of dripping water rolls through the cave. You also see some deeper water.

"Is it divine irony? Words hardly seem to do you justice. Yet, it is you who gifted us with speech."
Gragnel recites:
"Allow us this moment to lift your name on high. Here, at your divine altar and holy grounds."
Gragnel just touched a graceful dolphin statue.
Gragnel recites:
"We pray unto you Lady Eluned. Please hear our voices as we speak glory on the graces you have shown us."

Medikaus nods to Vythlak.
Mistanna smiles at Vythlak.
(Vythlak suddenly stills and his eyes start to flicker with gold, then blue, then silver.)
A pale blue nimbus explodes outward, enshrouding Vythlak's body like a ghostly blanket. Slender tendrils of silver vapor slowly arise from the cloud and reach for Vythlak's eyes like long spectral fingers.
The color in Vythlak's eyes changes, the pupils gradually fading from sight as his eyes turn pale blue.
Vythlak chants in a baritone voice:
"Spirits of the oceans, Spirits of the seas, Spirits of the rivers, Spirits of the lakes, Spirits of the pool. Answer our pleas!"
Vythlak chants in a baritone voice:
"Spirits of sailors saved, Spirits of sailors lost, Spirits of sailors rescued, Answer our call!"
(Vythlak walks along the edge of the pool, his feet leaving splashes of water on the rocks as he softly sings a song about knowledge lost knowledge gained knowledge saved knowledge taken.)
Vythlak blinks in consternation as his brilliant gaze dims slightly, and he focuses on his immediate surroundings. The spectral glow intensifies, shifting his attention from the physical world once more.
You feel a deep vibration coming from the ground beneath Gragnel.
Vythlak softly says, "Yes, they are answering the call."
Leilanie breathes almost without making a sound.
Aerilia tilts her head to one side.
(Vythlak walks amongst the gathered folk then stops next to Gragnel, staring intently past his shoulder.)
You feel a deep vibration coming from the ground beneath Gragnel.
(Vythlak kneels, then lays down with his left ear held just above the rocks and near Gragnel's feet.)
The glimmers of light above Unaka's head swim around each other, connecting briefly into a halo.
Vythlak softly says, "Whisper the secrets in our dreams, help guide us towards the knowledge we need to overcome our trials."
Vythlak's eyes turn from pale blue back to their normal color.
Sukidesu gazes upward.
Vythlak blinks.

Vythlak adjusts his lambswool stole into place.
Vythlak says, "From our last gathering, a task was not merely to talk about the Immortals, but to act in their name."
Sukidesu gazes off into the distance.
Vythlak says, "Since our gathering today is in honor of Eluned and Truffenyi, I visited several libraries."
Vaddon flounders about in the water.
Vythlak says, "Libraries are both a sign of civilization and a symbol - one way or another - of Lemicus, Eluned, and Drogor."
Vythlak says, "I spent time talking with scholars, wandering dusty halls, reading some books."
Vaddon swims back up into a vertical position.
Vythlak softly says, "Studying and observing the spirits of those places."
Ezathiel nods to Gragnel.
Vythlak says, "As I read through some of the older tomes, I got to thinking about Drogor, and when it might be good to lose knowledge and when it might be bad."
Vythlak examines a graceful dolphin statue.
Gragnel observes Vythlak with fascination.
Vythlak asks, "For it is easy to say that knowledge should never be lost. Yet is that always true?"
Vythlak says, "We know from some of the oldest texts, fragments that the Heralds likely saved the world when powerful magics were about to be cast by mages of the Wind Clan."
Vythlak says, "At the last moment, they intervened and wiped out the Clan. Those magics have been since lost to the winds of time."
Vythlak asks, "But if they were found again, would it not be best for them to be lost?"
Vythlak says, "On the other hand, we also recover things from the past that had been lost. Treatises on healing, beneficial magics, and what not."
Vythlak says, "So it is not always good to have things within Drogor's gaze."
Kethrai nods to Vythlak.
The fish suddenly expands into the form of Saragos, who stands there dripping.
Unaka nods.
Vythlak says, "Let us now give a prayer to Drogor to turn his gaze away from our plans and towards the machinations of the Heralds."
Gragnel nods.
Vythlak recites:
"Drogor cast your gaze, Upon the plots of the Heralds. Let their plans turn awry, Forgotten at opportune times."
Sukidesu gazes down at the floor.
Vythlak recites:
"Come as a hurricane, With your might and anger Aiding Urrem'tier in his assault, A tidal wave to cast them aside."
Leayne lies back against the water and shuts her eyes, offering up a silent prayer.
Vythlak recites:
"Lord of the endless deeps, Reap their plans, Bring them to ruin."
Relay smiles.
Leayne swims back up into a vertical position.
Vythlak recites:
"Keep your attentions Firmly focused on the Heralds. Do not being ruin to our own plans."
Unaka nods to Vythlak.
Vythlak throws his head back and howls, "The enemies of Lord Drogor shall drown as the sharks tear them apart limb from limb, and their blood shall feed the lightless depths!"

Mazilyn blows out some bubbles.

Mistanna swims about in lazy circles.
Gragnel jumps up in the air and lands with a colossal *WHOOOOSH*, spraying water all over you!
Ectheleon says, "For today, I would like to share some thoughts that were discussed at the Cleric's Corner just this past evening."
Gragnel grins.
Unaka chuckles.
Ectheleon chuckles at Gragnel.
Ectheleon says, "For each Immortal, there is this preconception of the light, neutral, and dark aspects and I would like less to challenge that, but instead, question it."
Kilenti gazes silently at Ectheleon.
You smile at Ectheleon.
Gragnel nods to Ectheleon.
Ectheleon asks, "Wherein lies the expectations that each light aspect has to be perfectly good and each dark aspect wholly evil?"
Vythlak gazes at Ectheleon.
Leayne nods.
Ectheleon says, "Eluned is a lady of wisdom, song, and speech, she moves the seas and provides clean water when there is none to drink."
Ectheleon says, "She lost much during the battle with the World Dragon, it ravaged the seas and set fire to Katamba."
Ezathiel ponders.
Kilenti nods to Ectheleon.
Ectheleon says, "Eluned raised the seas to quench the fire, leaving a charred moon and a flooded Elanthia."
Ectheleon says, "Eluned lost a sister when Peri'el stayed with the World Dragon to ensure a sleep everlasting."
Gragnel gives a slight nod.
Ectheleon says, "What these things say to me is that there is good and a bad in everything that happens."
Leilanie nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
Vythlak nods to Ectheleon.
Ectheleon says, "When Katamba was quenched as the seas rose, there would have been a great loss of life due to the flood."
Leayne nods to Ectheleon.
Ectheleon says, "While the dragon is contained, Eluned's sister, Peri'el, no longer sings to the seas with her."
Ectheleon says, "Where clean water is provided for those whose rivers turned to salt, some instead chose to covet the tears shed by Eluned."
Ectheleon asks, "What I take from all of these thoughts is complicated, are the results of the Immortals actions what they truly intended?"
Kethrai gazes thoughtfully at Ectheleon.
Ectheleon says, "Every action we do has consequences. What we intend does not always yield the result we desire."
Ectheleon says, "What has been done has happened and we can debate past actions as much as we would like."
Ectheleon shrugs.
Ectheleon asks, "What I would like to think about and discuss is what can be done, what can I do to leave a positive sum of my actions on this world?"

Eluned Vision
A golden glow erupts from Unaka's halo, and your vision is overtaken by a blinding flash! When the haze dissipates, you find yourself surrounded by blue so vast and bright that it sears your eyes. You blink and realize you are looking at an endless ocean meeting a perfect blue sky. Suddenly, you plunge into it, the initial shock of cold giving way to a feeling of buoyancy, your view now one of sun-soaked dolphins swimming peacefully beneath the surface. A voice enters your mind, as if embracing you from all around. "I sense your thirst for understanding. Persist. Search ardently, experiment, and you may draw My gaze."
You bow your head and say in a hushed voice, "Damaris, guard and protect the children this night."

A crevice in the rock draws your attention and compels you to explore its shadowy depths. You swim quickly through, only to emerge into another pool.
[Silvery Pool]
Moonlight dances over the pool like a thousand stars among the dark ripples. The cool water laps against your skin in a soothing repetitive rhythm, relaxing your muscles and drawing you out of the shallows. Beneath your feet the pure white sand is smooth and clear of weeds. A lulling, meditative aura settles over the water.

Reverend Gragnel slogs out, leading his group.
Post Chat With Unaka
[Silvery Pool, Waterfall]
Cool tendrils of water slip down the rough surface of the mammoth stone outcropping, cascading to the rock's base with a sibilant whisper. Water dances and leaps jubilantly beneath the waterfall, before rippling away in great waves, to finally die away and lie still at the pool's farthest reaches. Along the banks, tall vilt reeds provide privacy for modest swimmers. You also see a ghostly white banner.
Katamba slowly rises above the horizon.
(Aerilia pats herself down with her towel.)
Vythlak says to Gragnel, "A good omen - Katamba just rose."
Gragnel says, "Alright, folks, I'm not responsible for any drycleaning bills. Your wardrobe is your responsibility."
(Kethrai manages to go from 'soaked' to 'damp' but that's about it. He still looks a bit like a drowned rat.)
Aerilia chuckles at Gragnel.
Unaka extends her hand toward a ghostly white banner and concentrates.
Vaddon gazes down at his hands.
Ectheleon says, "Keep the breeze up and we should be fine."

Kethrai says, "An anlas of brushing never hurt anyone I guess."
Vaddon gazes at his fingernails.
Unaka says, "Zynell first, I think."
Unaka gestures.
She twiddles her fingers at the white banner.
The white banner bobs and shudders for a moment.
You nod to Unaka.
Crobin says, "Except the carpal tunnel."
Unaka says, "Zynell, I hear your concerns and will be meditating on what you asked."
Aerilia quietly says to Kethrai, "There are some days I miss my cantrips. Air would've been nice to have for today."
You say, "Many thanks."
Unaka says, "And Kethrai, I got yours, but it's long and there's a lot to think about."
Kethrai giggles.
Unaka asks, "Do you want to start with talking about one particular part?"
Leayne smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Kethrai says, "Yeah, sorry about that."
Gragnel says, "Long letter? From Kethrai? Wow."
Gragnel smirks.
Leayne giggles at Gragnel.
Mistanna appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Kethrai says to Gragnel, "Well now you don't get one."
Gragnel begins pouting.
Kethrai ponders.
Kethrai says to Unaka, "Um. Maybe the first question related to the Immortals would be the one they're best equipped to answer."
Unaka fixes Kethrai with a heavy, ponderous stare.
Kethrai says, "The nature of how they've been limited."
Unaka asks, "Mind saying it for everyone?"
Aerilia says, "Ah."
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
You grin at Ectheleon.
Kethrai says, "Um, more clearly for everyone -- when the Immortals came here, the Heralds did something to limit them. It seemed to be related to their use of sorcery. I hope to understand that more."
Gragnel gives a slight nod.
Kethrai says, "How were they limited, what would they do if those limits weren't there..."
Unaka says, "This is the kind of question that I can try to meditate on, if everybody wants. To search for an answer among my visions from Truffenyi."
You nod in agreement.
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Unaka says, "From my own understanding, I don't exactly know, at least I'm not sure."
Zalinyar nods to Unaka.
Vythlak takes a seat.
Vythlak strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Unaka says, "Truffenyi definitely is our Father and would continue to work to protect and love us, even if whatever limit was removed."
Unaka asks Kethrai, "Why do you think there's a limit, exactly?"
Kethrai says, "It was definitely a sense we got several times from Elanthia's visions. But Truffenyi gave a vision that seemed to say something similar. Throwing the drink in their faces, and then being turned into something the size of a mouse..."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
You nod at Kethrai, in complete agreement with his views.
Unaka says, "Yeah. In truth, I have the same sense, just wondered how much of it got through to you all."
Unaka says, "Interesting that Elanthia would say that too."
Crobin says, "I will just ponder magic over here."
You say, "Also the tree vision of the saplings then larger trees."
Kethrai nods.
Aerilia nods to you.
Kethrai says, "We Life casters got maybe a more detailed sense of it..."
Unaka says to you, "Which one was that exactly? There's been so many."
Gragnel nods to Unaka.
You say, "I forget the specifics of it but it implied that the immortals were regaining strength. it was during the meraud vigil i think."
Unaka nods.
Kethrai says, "A sense that when the Immortals came here, they used sorcery despite the negative effect it had on the Heralds, and in response they restricted them in some way... But a way that the Immortals didn't notice, at first? I think."
Ectheleon nods.
Unaka says, "Maybe."
Unaka says, "And... there was that vision of the wolf lying down, maybe from fatigue."
Crobin nods.
Kethrai nods to Unaka.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Leayne nods to Unaka.
Unaka says, "That would make a lot of sense. If the Heralds really don't like sorcery, they wouuld probably strike out against gods who do use it."
Gragnel nods.
Gragnel says, "That tracks in my mind."
Kethrai says, "I also got the sense from those visions that the Immortals weren't even aware of the harm they were causing. It seemed more... miscommunication, than conflict, at least at first."
Vythlak asks, "So some gods are not using sorcery then?"
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Ectheleon says, "That seems an interesting thought, Kethrai."
Vythlak nods at Ectheleon, obviously agreeing with his views.
Leayne ponders.
Unaka says to Vythlak, "Don't know for sure, but I think all the Immortals support sorcery. The Heralds really hate it."
Crobin says, "One can support the use of sorcery wihtout using it."
Crobin says, "Trust me."
Gragnel says, "The Immortals have said, "Sorcery is the way."
Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.
Vythlak nods to Unaka.
You say to Vythlak, "The immortals are all against using necromancy."
You shrug.
Aerilia nods to Gragnel.
Ectheleon says, "Early meetings turn to miscommunications turns to friction which finds it's way to conflict."
Unaka says to Kethrai, "Seemed to me from your letter like you really wish they could talk and work it all out."
Vythlak says, "In the sense of support it, but not all may use it."
Kethrai says, "Enelne has also joined the Immortals in this, which might mean the Great Pack all support it."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Kethrai says, "No real sense of where the Triquetra stand... I am hoping to ask that, actually."
Leayne nods to Kethrai.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Leilanie smiles at Kethrai.
Crobin nods to Kethrai.
Crobin says, "Good question for them."
Unaka asks, "There was a group of Prydaens who did pray, did you talk with them?"
Kethrai nods to Unaka.
Unaka nods.
Ezathiel softly says to Gragnel, "I am sorry but I need to leave. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute."
You say, "It would be worth another ask, given our newer informations."
Unaka says to Kethrai, "Well, I will try to be there with you in support, if I can make it. Not sure if I can but I'll try."
Ezathiel places his hands on his thighs and bows deeply at the waist towards Gragnel, holding the position for a moment before returning upright.
You nod at Kethrai, in complete agreement with his views.
Kethrai says, "It was... a while ago, before the conflict came into real focus. I'm hoping we'll get more direct answers to more direct questions."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Unaka asks, "What are the direct questions? Your questions about the Heralds as caretakers?"
Kethrai shakes his head.
Kethrai asks, "No, for the Triquetra I'd want us to just ask more simply... where they stand? Do we use sorcery, do we eschew it? Do they want us supporting the Immortals in this fight?"
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Leayne smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Unaka asks, "I'm curious, where would you stand depending on the different answers?"
You say, "Next to Damaris."
Unaka nods to you.
Unaka says, "We know where Damaris stands at least."
Zalinyar nods to you.
Unaka grins at you.
You grin mischievously.
Gragnel adjusts his leather longcoat into place.
Gragnel idly picks at a black leather longcoat decorated in homage to Damaris.
Kethrai says, "They're a third party who so far doesn't seem to be involved in the fight. So, I'd take what they have to say with some seriousness, less likely to be biased one way or another."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Vythlak asks Kethrai, "But why would they not have a role in this, or what would make them different?"
Kethrai says, "But I don't suppose I can come to any real answers until I hear theirs."
You ask, "When will you be asking them?"
Leayne nods to Kethrai.
Kethrai says, "Well, what I mean is... This seems to be a fight between the Heralds and the Thirteen, at least on the surface. At least so far, it doesn't seem like the Triquetra are being directly threatened by either."
Kethrai says, "Aside from the possible effects on the Prydaen people."
Kethrai says to you, "I've asked to put a meeting on the provincial calendar, it'll be in five andaen."
You nod.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Unaka says, "Well, good questions to ask."
You say, "The clerics will do their best to support your quest."
You nod to Kethrai.
Ectheleon nods in agreement.
Gragnel says, "I'll be honest, I'm ignorant on the faith and practices of the Prydaen people. I'm interested in attending for sure."
Vythlak nods to Kethrai.
Gragnel nods to Kethrai.
Kethrai says, "To some extent, it's... mmh."
Mazilyn nods emphatically.
Kethrai says, "Many Prydaen are culturally against sorcery."
Ectheleon says to Kethrai, "I would love to learn as well."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Crobin nods to Kethrai.
Kethrai says, "But that's because of our experience with necromancy, and not... making much of a distinction between them."
Leilanie says, "With good reason."
Crobin says, "I use to be myself."
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Unaka says, "I wonder if we will need to keep up with sorcery forever, or if we can let it fall off at some point."
Kethrai says, "I'm not sure if we've ever heard directly from Eu-Demrris-Tenemlor what they think about sorcery that isn't necromancy."
Mazilyn beams at Kethrai!
Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
You shake your head.
Leayne ponders.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Unaka says, "Well, now seems to be a time that the gods are speaking, so you might as well ask."
Ectheleon asks Unaka, "That's a thought, what if current conceptions of sorcery weren't what they were and may not be what they will be?"
Kethrai nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.
Unaka says, "You heard Eluned."
Kethrai says, "Precisely my thought."
Unaka nods to Ectheleon.
You nod at Unaka, in complete agreement with her views.
Vythlak softly says, "I think we have ourselves a quest to undertake."
Vythlak strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Unaka says, "Yeah. It doesn't help that some of the sorceries have different names either."
Leilanie smiles.
Unaka rubs her head.
Unaka asks, "Has anyone made any plans about the Null Prison?"
Aerilia ponders.
You say, "Avrenka."
Miskton scratches distractedly at his beard.
Aerilia says, "Avrenka's holding an experiment soon in Arhat's Tower."
Gragnel says, "Yeah, I'm not the only one who heard a voice speak. Am I? It said to continue. Persist. Search. Experiment."
Aerilia nods.
Kethrai nods to Gragnel.
Kethrai says to Gragnel, "That's what I heard too."
Unaka nods.
Vythlak nods to Gragnel.
You nod to Gragnel.
Gragnel says, "Okay, didn't know if it was one of my crazy Cleric moments or not."
Vaddon nods.
Gragnel says, "I have those from time to time."
Ectheleon grins at Gragnel.
Gragnel gazes up at the sky.
Gragnel's shoulders bow as if under some great burden.
Unaka smiles at Ectheleon.
Gragnel rolls his eyes heavenward and mumbles, "Why me?!"
Crobin says to Gragnel, "You are crazy."
Unaka nods to Ectheleon.
Gragnel says to Crobin, "This is a fact."
Kethrai says, "I think Saragos is also working on the Null Prison idea, he was here earlier but seems to have left."
You say, "We also have the beseeching of elanthia coming up."
Unaka says, "Well, experimenting is good. I still have the sense that it can be opened again. My feeling is that the way is through the Immortals, but who knows, might be another way."
Kethrai nods to you.
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Leilanie rubs her head.
You say, "We are also still working on the Asildu assistance program."
Aerilia says, "Based off of what happened last time.. I don't think we'll be prying it open without divine assistance."
You nod to Unaka.
Gragnel says, "If there is a way with the Immortals grace, that's the way for me. Anything else is untrustworthy at best."
Kethrai asks Unaka, "I think you said earlier that it would require strength from them to do it, and might leave them weakened afterward... Is that still true?"
Ectheleon bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.
Gragnel folds his arms across his chest.
Vythlak says to you, "Maybe after we get through each of the Thirteen we do a big confab for all immortals together."
Leayne smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Leilanie gives Vythlak a half-hearted grin.
You grin at Vythlak.
Unaka says to Kethrai, "I don't know for certain. I do get the sense that what we mortals do affects them, but who knows how right I am."
Crobin says, "I can only waggle my fingers so much."
Vythlak says to Unaka, "It seems like it must, else why the earlier recorded intervention of the Heralds...."
Kethrai says, "That seems certain, at least. Your halo sure responds to what we do."
Zalinyar grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.
Gragnel asks Leayne, "Got any more where that came from?"
Mazilyn sighs and says a soft prayer to herself.
Unaka says, "If I had to guess, I'd say that maybe the idea is to empower them in the right way, direct them the right way, and they can use that power to open the Prison? But I don't know."
Vythlak says to Gragnel, "Glythtide's got you covered."
Unaka says, "If it does weaken them, probably shouldn't open it too many times."
(Gragnel looks hopefully at Leayne's glass of wine.)
Kethrai nods to Unaka.
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
You say, "So no lefts."
You nod to Unaka.
Gragnel accepts Leayne's Ain Ghazal red wine.
Gragnel sniffs at a glass of Ain Ghazal red wine.
Gragnel beams!
Zalinyar grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.
Unaka says, "But then again, opening it could weaken the Heralds too, if those prisoners are helping them somehow."
Gragnel says, "Ahhh, Ain Ghazal. Nice."
Unaka shrugs.
Gragnel praises Leayne.
Leayne giggles at Gragnel.
Kethrai says, "And that might mean they can't break everyone out of the prison. So they'll need to come up with a way to figure out who they should prioritize."
Unaka says, "Lot of unknowns, though. Don't treat my word as the final one."
Aerilia says, "Maybe something like what we did to open Knife Clan's encasement. Lots of sorcery to fuel them, and let the gods pry open the door again."
Aerilia ponders.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Crobin says, "Do like a good prison break."
You say to Aerilia, "That seems to be sortof the plan."
Kethrai says, "So, one thought that I've had about that..."
Gragnel says to Leayne, "That. Was. Perfect. Thank you."
Aerilia nods to you.
Zalinyar chuckles at Crobin.
Leayne nods to Gragnel.
Kethrai says, "Since we brought up Sraan Mehath earlier..."
Aerilia asks you, "Getting it open is only half of it, though. What do we do about the countless people inside?"
Crobin says, "I know little about magic...but when it comes to prison's...I find ways in and out of them."
Kethrai asks, "What if they weren't destroyed, or killed? What if they were all imprisoned?"
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Leilanie smiles at Crobin.
Zalinyar says, "Grab n drag. just like durin an invasion."
Zalinyar nods to Aerilia.
Leayne smiles at Zalinyar, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
You say to Aerilia, "That is a decidedly not anyone planning the break in's problem."
Unaka fixes Kethrai with a heavy, ponderous stare.
Crobin ponders.
You grin mischievously at Aerilia.
Aerilia chuckles.
Kethrai says to Zalinyar, "There were... thousands in there. Tens of thousands. More, maybe."
Unaka slowly says, "Could be."
Leayne gasps!
Aerilia says to Kethrai, "It does seem to be their favored method of punishment."
Aerilia ponders.
Zalinyar nods to Kethrai.
Zalinyar says to Kethrai, "I saw them in chains."
Crobin asks, "Unaka?"
Kethrai nods to Zalinyar.
Unaka says, "Or maybe they have a reason to kill some and imprison others."
Unaka shrugs.
Unaka nods to Crobin.
Crobin asks Unaka, "Is there a warden in this prison?"
Aerilia says, "I had an idea, based on the vision of Hodierna's Unicorn and the vela'tohr plant. It was large, and spread out to reach everyone on a battlefield.."
Unaka says, "Uh... I didn't exactly go looking around in there myself."
You giggle at Unaka.
Kethrai says, "If there was a warden, we haven't run into them."
Unaka says, "But could be. Lots of prisons have wardens."
Aerilia asks Kethrai, "Maybe if we made our own thicket, Hodierna could empower it to reach into the prison and grab the prisoners?"
Kethrai looks thoughtfully at Aerilia.
Unaka says, "I'd be prepared to dodge one just in case, if it were me."
Crobin says to Unaka, "Take out the Warden the prison becomes easier to work through."
Unaka says, "I doubt you'll have time. Or if you do, you trade it for prisoners you could be saving."
Kethrai says, "Or if not grab them... Sense them, empower them, give them something to follow back out of the maze."
Gragnel says to Crobin, "You're starting to sound like one of those Grey Raven folk."
Gragnel glances at Crobin.
Gragnel looks at Crobin and recoils.
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Crobin says, "One good snatch and grab for a key if there is one and then all locks become much easier to open."
Zalinyar grins at Gragnel, her dimples flashing into view.
Miskton nods politely.
Aerilia says to Kethrai, "I recall Dantia saying that it was her empasthic senses that the Immortals latched onto to pull her out."
Aerilia says, "So.. maybe empathy can reach back in, too."
Gragnel ponders.
Kethrai says, "Maybe... Though I'd still be worried that we might be releasing some people from prison who are in there for important reasons."
Unaka shrugs.
Aerilia says, "I don't think we'll have the time to be selective about who we bring out."
Gragnel says, "Empathy is outside of my realm of skill, I'm just gonna have to stick to praying and preaching."
Kethrai says, "One person being falsely imprisoned doesn't mean we should set the mass murderers loose."
Gragnel chuckles.
Zalinyar says to Kethrai, "Good point."
Aerilia asks Kethrai, "But does anything warrant an eternity in a timeless prison? Anything a mortal can do?"
Light rain begins to fall from the sky.
You say, "We have several things imprisoned on this realm...."
You say, "For good reasons."
Rienth says in Ilithic, "I don't know that we can assume they're all mortals."
Rienth coughs.
Crobin angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Rienth.
Kethrai shakes his head at Rienth.
Kethrai says to Rienth, "No, we can't."
Rienth nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views.
Rienth says, "That's exactly what I mean."
Unaka says, "Truffenyi isn't the god of justice. He is one of mercy and forgiveness. But even he I think would protect his children from those who are evil and do not repent."
Rienth says, "This isn't exactly the Crossing jail we're talking about."
Ryeka nods to Unaka.
Crobin says, "Yes."
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Crobin says, "It is much bigger."
You say, "That also assumes they are his children which are imprisoned."
Crobin says, "Much more exciting to break into."
Gragnel nods to Unaka.
You giggle.
Kethrai says, "So, the theory Saragos is working with, about the Heralds..."
Unaka nods to you.
Mazilyn says, "They could be! or could choose to be."
Mazilyn beams!
You nod to Mazilyn.
Gragnel pats Mazilyn on the back.
Kethrai says, "He thinks they're less like gardeners, and more like farmers. Planting a crop, and then coming back to harvest it someday."
Gragnel says to Mazilyn, "I'm loving your love for the Ox."
Kethrai says, "That is to say -- we, mortals, are the crop."
Gragnel grins at Mazilyn.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Aerilia ponders.
The white banner fades out of sight.
Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!
Unaka says, "Might explain why they were caretakers for so long."
Kethrai asks, "If he's right about that... I also wonder if that Null Prison might be better thought of as their... grain silo?"
Unaka shudders.
Unaka says, "Not a nice thought."
Aerilia nibbles her lip thoughtfully.
Gragnel winces.
Kethrai shakes his head at Unaka.
Ryeka nods in agreement.
Crobin says, "Not nice, but could be accurate."
Unaka says, "But I dunno, it seems like what they really care about is mana, not mortals."
Kethrai nods to Unaka.
Gragnel says, "They want food, not friends."
Crobin ponders.
Gragnel gazes up at the sky.
Unaka says, "Obviously the mana storms and horrible effects aren't great for us."
Leayne nods to Unaka.
Kethrai says, "True. And even during the pure magic gathering, when we felt them seeming to take a gulp... It didn't involve anybody getting one of those plugs in their neck."
Crobin asks, "Is there a way to make a sorcery storm?"
Unaka says, "But I don't know if it's us they're harvesting, exactly. Maybe some kidna mana harvest."
Leayne ponders.
Aerilia nods.
Unaka asks Crobin, "Lotta casting, maybe. And I heard that Liraxes is making something?"
Kethrai says to Crobin, "Yeah, with enough mixed mana. Saragos and company managed that during one of our experiments."
Ryeka nods to Unaka.
Gragnel nods to Kethrai.
Ectheleon says, "I must apologize but I'm about ready for a nap. Thank you again for everyone's time and I hope you all the best."
Unaka nods to Ectheleon.
Ryeka says, "I saw that machine- and checked on it."
Crobin says, "Hmm sorcery storms and find a way to send them towards the Heralds."
Aerilia says, "I think it was Asildu that mentioned the Heralds' previous world was destroyed, and blamed on sorcery. Maybe that was a 'crop' that went bad."
Ryeka ponders.
Gragnel asks Kethrai, "That was the one weaving the lattice of aether, yes?"
You say, "There is the magic storm in shard."
Kethrai nods to Gragnel.
Unaka nods to Aerilia.
Kethrai says to you, "But that's purely Elemental, not sorcerous."
Kethrai says to Aerilia, "That's also a thought."
Crobin says, "Alright all."
Aerilia says, "Wish we could learn more about that, but I doubt the Immortals or Elanthia would have any idea about other worlds."
Vaddon smiles.
Crobin says, "All this talking of casting and such is making the head hurt."
Gragnel laughs!
Medikaus grins.
Kethrai asks, "Although, when we talk about a previous world... Does it mean a different Plane? Or a different planet on Abiding?"
Unaka nods to Crobin.
Gragnel says to Crobin, "It's been 0 days since your last bath."
Unaka says to Crobin, "Goggles. Next time."
Unaka nods to Crobin.
Aerilia looks at Kethrai and shrugs.
You say to Kethrai, "We could try adding magic to it, i do not know if anyone has bothered with that yet? if we need to solve a couple problems at once."
Crobin nods to Unaka.
Crobin says, "Will look for some."
Aerilia says to Kethrai, "Good question. I have no idea how all of that works."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Unaka says, "Lots we don't know. Good day for Eluned, if you ask me."
Crobin says, "You all be good."
Gragnel grins at Ryeka.
Crobin says, "Or good at it."
Ryeka grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.
Crobin says, "And if you need someone to run into a prison to break things out."
Ryeka nods to Unaka.
Kethrai nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.
Crobin says, "I am the guy for you."
Crobin shakes Unaka's hand.
Leayne hugs Unaka, getting a smile in return.
Gragnel says, "Was a very good day for Eluned. The perfect spot, and a wonderful crowd."
Zalinyar nods to Gragnel.
Crobin says, "Here we go hun."
Unaka accepts Ryeka's dolphin bead.
Kethrai says, "Some visions have shown the Heralds associated with what looks like a portal in the sky to a foreign field of stars..."
Leayne softly says, "Be well."
Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Unaka says, "Thanks."
Gragnel nods to Kethrai.
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Ryeka exclaims, "My pleasure!"
Zalinyar says, "Good to see everyone and hear the ideas."
Gragnel says to Kethrai, "Yeah, the unfamiliar stars. I remember that."
Unaka glances up at the sky.
Kethrai says, "Which makes me think it's a place on Abiding, just unimaginably far away."
Unaka says, "Hmm, can't see them now."
Vaddon glances up at the sky.
Ryeka glances up at the sky.
Amabalis glances up at the sky.
Zalinyar glances up at the sky.
Kethrai says, "We saw some similar things in the Involuted Passage..."
Aerilia says, "Hopefully Liraxes can soon restore them from wherever they've been hidden or stolen."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Kethrai says, "Crobin even tried to go through one. Unsuccessfully."
Unaka chuckles.
Kethrai says, "Seemed to be more like windows than doors."
Unaka says, "Sounds like him."
Gragnel says to Kethrai, "That tracks for him."
Aerilia smiles quickly.
Unaka asks Kethrai, "Well, do you at least feel any better than you did the other day?"
Kethrai says to Unaka, "No less confused, but... better for having expressed it, I guess."
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Unaka says, "Yeah, I get that."
You nod.
Kethrai says to Unaka, "And thank you for listening, it helps."
Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.
Unaka says, "You want that clarity, and it's hard for you to head into battle without it."
Gragnel says, "Aptly put."
Gragnel nods to Unaka.
Zalinyar nods.
Zalinyar says, "Indeed."
Unaka nods to you.
Kethrai says, "Hard enough even when I know what's going on."
You bow to Unaka.
Unaka nods to Kethrai.
Aerilia nods.
Mazilyn says, "I never know whats going on."
Mazilyn beams!
Ryeka chuckles.
Gragnel chuckles.
Gragnel pats Mazilyn on the back.
Unaka says, "Well, glad I could help at least a little. I'll keep trying."
Mazilyn beams at Unaka!
Aerilia nods to Unaka.
Zalinyar praises Unaka.
Kethrai brushes one ear with his hand, grooming it absentmindedly.
Kethrai says, "Hope that doesn't sound too much like cowardice."
Gragnel says, "I see this as a test of faith, if I allow myself to be bullied then I may as well allow it for the rest of my life. Mama Durbin told her son to always stand up to bullies. And, I'm that son."
Gragnel just traced a circle around his face.
Aerilia asks Unaka, "Thanks for doing it. No more head wounds from parsing visions lately?"
Unaka says to Kethrai in Prydaenese, "May the Prydaen gods look on you with their wisdom. But also know that Truffenyi sees your people as his children too."
Kethrai trills softly at Unaka.
Unaka says to Aerilia, "None lately. There are some that are more difficult than others."
Aerilia nods.
Ryeka nods.
A pained expression crosses Kethrai's face.
Unaka says, "These seem to come naturally with these gatherings. Deeper questions, not as much? Depends."
Unaka says, "Anyway, I should get going. Good to see the faith remaining strong."
Kethrai bows to Unaka.
Ryeka exclaims, "Rest well!"
Aerilia says, "Good night. Take care."
Gragnel says to Unaka, "We try to choose a location and create an environment for the Immortals to hopefully recieve our praise as best they can."
You say, "Reminder, next week is our Damaris Grove Gathering for his followers, a few days after that we have Huldah."
Unaka nods to Gragnel.
Unaka exclaims, "It seems to be working!"
Gragnel beams at Unaka!
Ryeka nods to you.
Zalinyar nods to you.
Unaka nods to you.
Ryeka gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.
Kethrai says to Unaka, "Be safe and be well."
Unaka waves.
Aerilia waves to Unaka.
You wave.
Unaka says, "Goodbye."
Zalinyar waves.
Vaddon waves.
Truffenyi's Prophet Unaka strides northwest.
* Unaka returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
Gragnel says, "Well, I get to check "Turn someone into a fish" off my bucket list."
Aerilia chuckles.
Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.
Aerilia says, "A whole crowd, at that."
Kethrai asks Gragnel, "Is it a fish bucket?"
You say, "A lot of someones."
Ryeka laughs!
Gragnel says to Kethrai, "A chum bucket."
Gragnel laughs!
Gragnel praises Kethrai.
Ryeka says, "Turning into a fish is fun, though."
Ryeka winks.
Kethrai says, "Oh good, Drogor will be happy."
Aerilia says, "Certainly a unique experience."
Ryeka exclaims, "Not a care in the world!"
Gragnel says, "I'm sure some have never done it, so I really did want to lead the gathering."
Gragnel chuckles.
Kethrai nods to Gragnel.
Ryeka chuckles.
Mazilyn bounces around happily.
Gragnel says, "Gotta get my kicks in where I can in this Cleric-ing world."
