Climbs the creature ladder very fast, possibly tied with rangers. Whirlwind is a great weapon trainer. Killing gives you &quot;mana&quot; (inner fire), and Arcana is basically a free skill. Can spend 100% of time in combat and easily progress. || Limited number of abilities able to be run at any one time. No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots). Slow ability progression. Magic abilities require combat to keep up well.<br /> |-<br /> |[[Bard]] || Very strong combination of AOE debilitation and damage options. High number of unique utility abilities. Limited but very potent guild abilities. Access to one of the most powerful RP skills, playact. || Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Utility is unique but not often sought after. Evasion and Armor tertiary makes it a slower ladder climber. High number of cyclic abilities limits the number of concurrent abilities the guild can run. Limited defensive toolkit and you won't use most of your spells outside of training. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Cleric]]|| Only class able to resurrect another player. Strong debilitation options. Strong AOE damage options (strongest AOE damage option against undead). Very strong offensive and defensive capabilities while hunting undead, potentially at the limits of what a player will be allowed to do, ever. Very wide toolkit. Very strong defensive spells. Highest number of stat buffs. Potentially the best PvP class. Virtually unlimited mana. Self-res. Restore your own memories if you die. Natively able to hunt all creatures in the game.|| Guild skill requires a lot of baby sitting. Evasion and armor tertiary, so slower ladder progression. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Empath]]|| Only class that can heal others, best at self-healing, and can choose between full combat or full utility. Interesting choice of offensive (Guardian Spirit) or defensive stances (Regeneration). Only class capable of curing their own diseases. Fully buffed, they're as defensive as paladins. Taunting pet. Possible to ignore combat entirely.|| Best combat spell and hunting living creatures will reduce the healing kit and remove the ability to heal others. Crafting and the lore skillset is underwhelming. Empathy can be a limiting factor for circling. No AOE damage options. Pet can be hit by group's AOE spells, causing it to attack friends. Pet is clunky to use. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Moon Mage]]|| Extremely useful guild skill (buff any skill in the game). Very high lore and RP customization. Possible to level to cap without ever touching combat. Strong utility with summons and teleports. Capable of very fast travel almost anywhere in the game (at some personal risk). Strong debilitation spell, if a one-trick pony. Very strong mana regeneration. || Many skills require moons to function. Lowest damage options of the three magic guilds. Weapons and Armor tertiary, so it will progress up the critter ladder more slowly. Very strong combatants on the upper end, but it takes much longer to get there. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Necromancer]]|| The only class other than empaths which can Self-heal. Incredibly strong offensive spells, AOE and single target. Strong combat pets. Moderately useful utility pet. Self-res. || Lower breadth of RP options, and punishment if you're in town too long. Your spells will kill at least once. You will be arrested or killed if not careful. Guild development is slow and generally unfinished. The theme is heavily into death and decay type messaging. Solitary life outside of the necro community or out of game communication. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Paladin]]|| Strongest natural defensive suite in the game, potentially tied with empaths for damage mitigation. Can wear plate armor with the same hindrance as chain for other classes. Moderate offensive capabilities. Some unique buffs, if rarely used (see glyphs and vessel of salvation). Protect is very strong when multi-boxing or group hunting. Can pacify an entire room. Capable of blessing your own weapons to allow hunting non-corporeal undead. Taunting spell.|| Weak AOE options. Evasion tertiary which slows down ladder climbing for a martial class. Very low development. Generally considered an underdeveloped guild. The anti-thief spells are mostly irrelevant now, and group hunting is a rarity outside of multiboxers. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Ranger]]|| Fastest guild at climbing the critter latter. Strong stealth suite, especially outside of town. Strong survivals while outside of town. Archer theme, with snipe (shoot and stay hiding) and dual-load (shoot two arrows at once). || Poor AOE damage options. Companion system is more of a hassle than a benefit. Game pushes the ranger to stay outside of town, with some minor options to limit the impact. Generally considered an underdeveloped class. Scouting as a guild skill is kind of useless. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Thief]]|| Spells are instant cast. Faster Breaking and Entering. Interesting systems, such as robbing a Museum or a secret communication channel (signing). Thievery is much easier to train than it used to be. Backstab is the strongest alpha strike (bonus damage modifier) in the game. Strong stealth setup, such as auto-hiding when hit or 0 RT or able to easily train stealth early on in very hindering gear. Very strong survival buff while in town. Only class other than empaths capable of curing their own poison. Class has seen recent improvements. || No AOE damage options. Concentration fuels magic, which limits the number of abilities they can have on at once. Slow ability progression. &quot;one-trick pony&quot; (if someone can see through you're stealth then you'll have a hard time beating them. No &quot;dump stats&quot;, so slower stat progression. Gains spells (Khri) more slowly than most guilds. Armor tertiary, so a well-rounded character will progress more slowly (but you don't have to if you only play in PvE - still recommended but not required). No access to the magic system's perks (feats, tattoos, scroll slots)<br /> |-<br /> |[[Trader]]|| Up to 60% increased currency when selling your own pouches and bundles. Allows running of your own shop. Lunar mana, so not tied to specific rooms. Buffs the most crafting skills. Shield and Evasion secondary. Strong defensive toolkit. Strong debilitation in speculate coin. Caravan is an extra vault. || In game currency is monopoly money and mostly useless outside of very new characters and very, very high-level auctions. Trading is the most annoying skill in the game. Crafting and the lore skill set is underwhelming. Generally weak offensive toolkit. Some spells require &quot;starlight&quot; which can be limiting, especially early on. Weak cyclic options. Small toolkit, and half the spells will not be used. Luck is incomplete. Slow ability progression. Armor summoning is mostly an RP tool. <br /> |-<br /> |[[Warrior Mage]]|| Very strong offensive toolkit, possibly most damaging spells in the game. Earliest access to AOE damaging spells. Buffs evasion and shield of party members. Very strong cyclics, with the choice of dealing paralysis or damage. Spells capable of targeting almost every weakness. Easiest guild skill to train. Familiars for RP and minor functional benefits. Summoning domains to change room mana types to be more favorable. Very fast ability progression. Pathways are useful in managing spells. Strongest burst damage with skill (character) and preparation. Potentially the most number of native concurrent buffs. || Little to no utility, especially out of combat. Evasion and Shield tertiary, so they climb the creature ladder more slowly. A lot of redundancy in the toolkit. Familiars and elemental weapons are mostly RP tools since you'll have better tools available (discord for communication, easily available weapons). Targeted magic will hold you back until high levels. You'll end up using only a limited number of damaging spells, based on the creature you're fighting.<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> * &quot;Cylics&quot; in this context represent mostly passive, always on spells. Limit 1, except for barbarians. <br /> <br /> * Ability progression is how fast they gain new abilities and spells - See spell slots</div>

Can I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:Foe_raid_prep.jpg|600px|right]]<br /> Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 2. Why aren't you all PvP open?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives. We want to engage with you in ways you find fun including consensual PvP, but some of us prefer not to engage in perpetual PvP conflict. We always abide by DR policy regarding PvP, and engage with everyone in good faith.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 3. Can I spy on your organization?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes, from outside the group, certainly. If you wanted to join and spy, we'd want to know that this was your intention OOCly, and we'd probably want to have a sense of your general story arc. We don't want someone who is going to perpetually work against the group or expose all our plans and expect us never to catch on. Surprises and mystery are fun, and we want to preserve that.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 4. Do I have to salute or kneel or bow to anyone if I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. The actual organization is OOC. How you manage power structures in game is totally up to you, but the general idea is that members of FOE lead a collective of like minded people to undertake certain actions together for their own reasons. If you want to play a subordinate to another character, that's most welcome, but completely unnecessary.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 5. What are the benefits to joining?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Mainly having a good group to RP with, and fun. We have experience PvPing and can help you learn, give advice on gear, training, magic and abilities. We pay our members for participating in events when others &quot;hire&quot; us.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 6. I'm tired of everyone picking on my character because they're bad. Can I join you and get revenge on Team Good?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. We're not a gang that protects its own. We are focused on fun RP, and that will often mean our characters get thwarted for doing shady things. We fight together as a team sometimes, but if you have an &quot;us vs them&quot; mentality, and are looking for people to win in PvP against your enemies, this is not the group for you.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 7. I want to hire you for an event, but I'm a hardcore roleplayer and none of my characters are going to pay any of your characters. How do I pay?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Give the cost of the services to an alt or third party we provide, and our characters will ICly threaten or otherwise extort that character into giving up the money. The in character theft will then be dispersed to the characters participating in the event and all obligations will be fulfilled.</div>

You have pale skin and an athletic build.<br /> <br /> You are a bit over average height for an Elf.<br /> <br /> You are young.<br /> <br /> You are in good shape.<br /> <br /> You are wearing a high-collared hitman's coat of smoke-grey dragonar, a pure white silk shirt with a standing collar, a handsomely tailored waistcoat of slate-grey shadesatin, a shadow-black krakenite band inset with an indigo seaspark sapphire, a white gold serpent ring gripping a damaryn pearl within its coiled body, some crisply-pleated grey wool trousers and some black leather dress shoes with low heels.<br /> <br /> [The Raven's Court, Brandy Bar] (420102)<br /> <br /> Aged wooden casks support caramel-colored glass tops to create makeshift tables interspersed between the comfortable leather chairs. Each barrel bears official stamps from foreign lands, indicating only the finest imports are served to the Court's exclusive members. Deep burgundy carpeting stretches between the black marble walls to immerse patrons in extravagance from all angles. Dozens of glass snifters hang over a fine-grained goldenoak bar dominating the eastern half of the room. You also see a curtained archway.<br /> <br /> Also here: Gypsy Amabalis, Rasst, Fire Priestess Aemaranth who is shrouded in ghostly flames and Pack Warden Rekletuzrit.<br /> <br /> Obvious exits: north, south, west.<br /> <br /> &gt;rel eotb<br /> <br /> Your corruption fades, revealing you to the world once more.<br /> <br /> &gt;smile<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Rekletuzrit in a melodic accent, &quot;THank you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Rasst waves to you.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Welcome.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amabalis asks, &quot;Is the party over?&quot;<br /> <br /> You chuckle.<br /> <br /> Amabalis smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;It has not yet begun.&quot;<br /> <br /> &gt;look ama<br /> <br /> You see Gypsy Amabalis d'Isiljen, Unbroken, an Elf.<br /> <br /> A half mask of black Elven gold obscures her features and curves across her nose to encircle her eyes.

We don't harass people. We don't engage with people who don't want to engage with us. We don't complain about dying or losing. We don't let people grief or otherwise ruin the experience of playing our characters within the DR policy.<br /> <br /> = Contact Information =<br /> Contact any of the following characters in game or on Discord if you're interested in joining, have questions, or wish to request services:&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:Foe_raid_team.jpg|500px|left]]<br /> [[Deatly]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Dioe]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Ellywen]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> Ophiliah&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Thanator|Thanataar]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Vashner]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Zehira]]<br /> = Event Services =<br /> Anyone may request to hire FOE to enhance the RP experience for them and their friends. All payments must be made before the event, and will be refunded if the FOE member fails to join the event. If no member is available or willing to take on the request, we will let you know. Reach out to Dioe or any member to request services.<br /> == Haunt ==<br /> A member in stealth will say and whisper ominous things in the shadows according to what works best for your event, and our character's RP. Our members will not attack anyone, and will remain at the event, actively roleplaying for at least 30 minutes.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 500 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.<br /> == Crime ==<br /> A member or members of our team will kidnap (drag away) someone at your event, or steal from them and provide chase. That member of our team will consider themself open, and if killed, many monologue, but will slink back into the shadows to await another opportunity for evil. The member may fight back if attacked, but will (OOCly) attempt to shape the outcome in favor of the hiring party and their allies.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 1000 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.<br /> == Raid ==<br /> Members will rampage in full PvP mode through your event, using any pretext agreed upon. Members will have full expectations of fighting to the death, and will leave the event after they have been killed, or when the event is called off. Members will only engage pre-determined targets, characters who have their profiles set to &quot;OPEN,&quot; or people who attack them or otherwise give consent according to DR's PvP policy, but will actively try to avoid engaging bystanders.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 1000 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.<br /> <br /> = FAQ =<br /> 1. Can I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:Foe_raid_prep.jpg|600px|right]]<br /> Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 2. Why aren't you all PvP open?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives. We want to engage with you in ways you find fun including consensual PvP, but some of us prefer not to engage in perpetual PvP conflict. We always abide by DR policy regarding PvP, and engage with everyone in good faith.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 3. Can I spy on your organization?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes, from outside the group, certainly. If you wanted to join and spy, we'd want to know that this was your intention OOCly, and we'd probably want to have a sense of your general story arc. We don't want someone who is going to perpetually work against the group or expose all our plans and expect us never to catch on. Surprises and mystery are fun, and we want to preserve that.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 4. Do I have to salute or kneel or bow to anyone if I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. The actual organization is OOC. How you manage power structures in game is totally up to you, but the general idea is that members of FOE lead a collective of like minded people to undertake certain actions together for their own reasons. If you want to play a subordinate to another character, that's most welcome, but completely unnecessary.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 5. What are the benefits to joining?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Mainly having a good group to RP with, and fun. We have experience PvPing and can help you learn, give advice on gear, training, magic and abilities. We pay our members for participating in events when others &quot;hire&quot; us.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 6. I'm tired of everyone picking on my character because they're bad. Can I join you and get revenge on Team Good?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. We're not a gang that protects its own. We are focused on fun RP, and that will often mean our characters get thwarted for doing shady things. We fight together as a team sometimes, but if you have an &quot;us vs them&quot; mentality, and are looking for people to win in PvP against your enemies, this is not the group for you.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 7. I want to hire you for an event, but I'm a hardcore roleplayer and none of my characters are going to pay any of your characters. How do I pay?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Give the cost of the services to an alt or third party we provide, and our characters will ICly threaten or otherwise extort that character into giving up the money. The in character theft will then be dispersed to the characters participating in the event and all obligations will be fulfilled.</div>

Reach out to Dioe or any member to request services.<br /> == Haunt ==<br /> A member in stealth will say and whisper ominous things in the shadows according to what works best for your event, and our character's RP.

Can I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[File:Foe_raid_prep.jpg|600px|right]]<br /> Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 2. Why aren't you all PvP open?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives. We want to engage with you in ways you find fun including consensual PvP, but some of us prefer not to engage in perpetual PvP conflict. We always abide by DR policy regarding PvP, and engage with everyone in good faith.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 3. Can I spy on your organization?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes, from outside the group, certainly. If you wanted to join and spy, we'd want to know that this was your intention OOCly, and we'd probably want to have a sense of your general story arc. We don't want someone who is going to perpetually work against the group or expose all our plans and expect us never to catch on. Surprises and mystery are fun, and we want to preserve that.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 4. Do I have to salute or kneel or bow to anyone if I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. The actual organization is OOC. How you manage power structures in game is totally up to you, but the general idea is that members of FOE lead a collective of like minded people to undertake certain actions together for their own reasons. If you want to play a subordinate to another character, that's most welcome, but completely unnecessary.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 5. What are the benefits to joining?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Mainly having a good group to RP with, and fun. We have experience PvPing and can help you learn, give advice on gear, training, magic and abilities. We pay our members for participating in events when others &quot;hire&quot; us.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 6. I'm tired of everyone picking on my character because they're bad. Can I join you and get revenge on Team Good?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. We're not a gang that protects its own. We are focused on fun RP, and that will often mean our characters get thwarted for doing shady things. We fight together as a team sometimes, but if you have an &quot;us vs them&quot; mentality, and are looking for people to win in PvP against your enemies, this is not the group for you.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 7. I want to hire you for an event, but I'm a hardcore roleplayer and none of my characters are going to pay any of your characters. How do I pay?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Give the cost of the services to an alt or third party we provide, and our characters will ICly threaten or otherwise extort that character into giving up the money. The in character theft will then be dispersed to the characters participating in the event and all obligations will be fulfilled.</div>

Soft whimpering echoed from the damp cells deeper in this ancient section of the Undershard which Dertan and his crew had claimed. The sound was so familiar as to be beneath the notice of the Elothean as he glanced at the note and the bulging pouch of platinum Dokoras beside it. The coin would help him win a complete victory over Nerran, the so called &quot;Ferdahl of the Undershard,&quot; and keep the filthy S'kra traders at bay, who were no doubt hunting him on account of the contract he failed to complete, when he had to kill several of his prisoners before he could get them to the ships.<br /> <br /> The sound of footsteps aroused Dertan from his musings, and he rose to his feet. Four of his thugs escorted an Elven woman into the chamber. She pulled back the hood of her cloak to reveal silvery white hair, and entrancing, violet eyes. Upon her breast was pinned a night blossom. Something about the flower seemed to tickle something in his memory. He recalled it was the sigil of some Elven house or other, but the woman's voice pulled him to the present.<br /> <br /> &quot;Greetings, Dertan Aurdru,&quot; she said. &quot;You are not easy to find.&quot; She bowed her head slightly.<br /> <br /> Dertan grunted. &quot;Security's important, as you know.&quot;<br /> <br /> The woman smiled. &quot;I am told you do excellent work for noble Houses of Ilithi.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;They're not wrong. I'm the best, and we both know your masters ain't gonna do it,&quot; said Dertan.<br /> <br /> &quot;You have read my proposal then?&quot; asked the woman.<br /> <br /> &quot;That's the only reason you're here,&quot; Dertan replied curtly. &quot;Ten thousand platinum Dokoras for two Elves. I can pick them up within the next two andu.&quot;<br /> <br /> Suddenly, one of the thugs beside the silver-haired visitor crumpled to the ground, blood pouring from his eye socket.<br /> <br /> &quot;What in Idon's -&quot; Dertan took a step back, but when he turned his attention back to the visitor, he'd found he'd lost sight of her. A second thug gurgled, and the woman stepped out of the shadows. The corners of her mouth lifted in a smile that shimmered with mischief and malice, as she removed her blade from his neck. One of the fallen thugs rose to his feet and grabbed another of Dertan's guards. The arisen thug bit into the guard's neck as she attempted to draw her scimitar. Dertan's golden eyes widened in surprise. His heart pounded in his chest, and he swiftly stepped out of the torchlight, deeper into the chamber. He barely noticed the Elven woman slipping her blade into the abdomen of the last of his guards.<br /> <br /> &quot;Damn that traitor!&quot; Dertan thought. &quot;I will make sure she spends the last moments of her life -&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It's been a while, mate,&quot; came a voice from behind him. In the dim light, Dertan became aware of the glimmer of cold, emerald green eyes as a figure stepped from the shadows.<br /> <br /> &quot;You're dead for coming to this place! Do you know who I am!?&quot; Dertan shrieked. He focused his mind, and with a fluid movement, sprang toward the intruder, but just before he could plunge his dagger into his foe, his former bodyguard interposed himself, blood still oozing from the hole that had once contained his eye. Dertan's dagger sunk into the flesh of his former comrade, the undead shell sinking to its knees. As Dertan struggled to remove his weapon from the kneeling corpse, he froze in abject terror. The fury and rage of the Elvish man who stood before him overwhelmed all his senses. There was a flash of steel. Dertan looked down, and a pile of entrails sloshed to the ground. Raising his eyes again, he saw a face distorted in wrath, mutated with arcane magic. He heard a roar of unrestrained violence and the sounds of cracking bones, as his consciousness faded into darkness.<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;***&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> &quot;Dioe! Enough!&quot; The Elf felt a hand gently restraining his wrist, and he became aware that he was breathing heavily. Dark liquid coated his peacoat and dripped from his hat. &quot;He's dead,&quot; Ophiliah quietly said, releasing his wrist. With a wicked grin, she added, &quot;Let's open the cells.&quot; She knelt beside Dertan's corpse and plucked a ring of keys from his belt.<br /> <br /> Dioe took one last look at the carcass at his feet. Images flashed through his mind: a young woman with black hair, the faint smell of jazmine, a scream. His features flashed with anger. He ground his teeth, and tears flowed from his unmutated eye. He turned quickly away. &quot;Set them all free, and lead them to Zaldi Taipa. I'll find you as soon as I'm done here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah made her way deeper into the chamber, unlocking cell doors, manacles and chains. In quiet words, she told those with enough strength and sanity to follow her if they wished to live. Dioe turned to face the entrance of the tunnel that led to and from the chamber. Arcane energy swirled around him, as he bent all of his will toward harnessing his attunement. He could already hear the footsteps of Dertan's crew moving in his direction. The first three that entered the chamber melted in a burst of acid. Dioe drew his swords and strode into the tunnel, leaving a gruesome trail for Ophiliah and the survivors to follow, as they made their way out of the Undershard and into the morning light.</div>

I'm called Dioe. Will ye share your name?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a fluted glass of sparkling white wine from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Davrion in a Velakan accent, &quot;I do agree you should take care of your horse, and anything else under your...well, care.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles a little oddly.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;If so, someone take me to my treehouse.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her wine in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Also protecting your comrades even at great personal cost.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a thin silver cigarillo case from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> A small *click* followed by a whirring of gears can be heard as Zehira opens her cigarillo case.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a long silvery cigarillo printed with glittery shooting stars from inside her cigarillo case.<br /> <br /> Lilustra says, &quot;I am Lilustra a simple craftswoman.

Well, I am mostly here to interview you with questions anyhow.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Davrion in a Velakan accent, &quot;I don't think I've ever seen a noble at all, but up until not that many years ago, I lived in the desert and it's mostly Elves, and lost people.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Davrion, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> A young girl bustles in, straightening the items on a trestle table and adding some new things to the array. With a pleasant nod in your direction, she hurries back to work.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;And a few wanderers.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods to Davrion.<br /> <br /> You chuckle.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Zersha, &quot;I envy you, the tribes do things the right way.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Interview, eh?

Those who cared about you?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;I ran away rather than agree to an arranged marriage. Which is one of the things I disagree with in terms of Sand Elves anyhow.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;I just got tired of the sand.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye could not prevail on those who sought to arrange it?&quot;<br /> <br /> You chuckle at Zehira.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye.

We don't have much of a say in our lives until we're sixty and that's only if we're somehow not married at that time.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;And sometimes when you leave the desert you make sure you don't look anything like when you were there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her wine in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Zehira accepts Aemaranth's booklet.<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her booklet in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Zehira in a melodic accent, &quot;As promised.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a fluted glass of sparkling white wine from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> You say to Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye did right by freeing yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Raising your dark-hued whiskey to Zersha, you give her a toast.

The tantalizing scent of fresh purple iris emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the area with an airy, inviting aroma.<br /> <br /> Firehawk Casari came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zehira casually flicks some ashes off the end of her silvery cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to Zersha in a regal accent, &quot;I wrote it. It.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Is about me.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye, travel is good for meeting folk. Many are interesting.

Do you wish to ask your questions now, or will you wait?&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Davrion pats Zehira on the back.<br /> <br /> &gt;look Zehira<br /> <br /> You see Ershta Zehira Al'thor, Breaker of Chains of Velaka, a Human.<br /> <br /> Zehira's body is wreathed in an impressive series of whitened ridges that press up from beneath her skin and gleam with comforting black energy, augmenting her ability to absorb damage.<br /> <br /> Zehira has a glimmering spider's web ensnaring the left side of a gaunt face with an ugly and jagged scar across the neck, delicate ears, an oversized pair of sunglasses with dark geometric lenses mostly obscuring her veiled achromatic eyes, a disdainfully scrunched nose and dimples. Her void black hair is hip length and extravagant with grizzled streaks of grey throughout, and is worn in a tousled arrangement of upswept locks held in place by an eerie blackened moonsilver crown fused with sinuous demonbone and deathfiber. She has a ghastly mixture of chalky white bone ash streaked with soot smeared across her ghostly white skin with an ethereal radiance and a pair of void-black demonbone wings fit with moonsilver and silvery Velakan pearls arching back from a slim figure.<br /> <br /> She is puny for a Human.<br /> <br /> She appears to be in her prime.<br /> <br /> A dark headdress of eerily twisted demonbone spikes studded with abyssal quartz is resting lightly on Zehira's brow, the dusky blue stones glinting darkly upon the malevolently contorted blued moonsilver spirals rising over her head.<br /> <br /> Her left palm has a tattoo of a sewn-shut mouth with a multitude of slender tongues pushing through the stitches.<br /> <br /> The skin on her face has been turned into an ivory mask, reshaping her bone structure in a way that grants insight into aetheric structures.<br /> <br /> Zehira's right eye gleams with reddish-green light, casting a lurid shade over the tiny enhancive cysts clustered in and around her left. The cysts empower her to surpass her mortal Human sight.<br /> <br /> Her body is covered in a web of reddish-black lines in the shape of an advanced nervous system. The lines pulse with an enthralling glow from beneath her skin.<br /> <br /> She is in good shape.<br /> <br /> She is holding a glass of rest tea in her right hand.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a pretentious shadowy black deathfiber cape fastened by a vengeance ruby and demonbone clasp, a blighted gold and crimson moonsilver wedding ring set with a vengeance ruby, a charred bone ring bearing obscurely carved symbols, a splendiferous tulle tutu dress shimmering with eerie blackened moonsilver, a raven-black scalene hex bag with an inky blue wildlace overlay, a dark oilskin butcher's bag with &quot;Parts&quot; spelled out in stained demonbone beads, a heretic's sack adorned by barbed wire horns tipped with vengeance rubies and a pair of tacky inky black dancing slippers splashed with blackened moonsilver.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Zehira in a melodic accent, &quot;Oh, that won't do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina stares fixedly at her black shoes, studying them intently.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Well.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina whirls in place on the soles of her black shoes.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Zehira, &quot;You look stunning as always wrong shoes or no.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira smiles at Davrion, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Thank you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha asks Sofina in a Velakan accent, &quot;Are you wearing the right shoes?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Sofina.<br /> <br /> You say to Jorvand in a nautical accent, &quot;Good to see, mate. Drinks are on the cloth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says to Zersha, &quot;I'm just glad I have a pair on.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina studies the faces around her.<br /> <br /> Davrion shakes Jorvand's hand.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to Jorvand.<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to Damoone.<br /> <br /> Amailia says to you, &quot;Up to you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jorvand nods.<br /> <br /> Jorvand smiles.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Let us hear some yarns as we drink. I'm sure the answers will be more interesting when I've gone through some whiskey.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia nods to you.<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;Don't drink too much I can't carry you to my treehouse.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Do ye wish to share your tale, or shall I begin?&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Damoone snickers at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Hebion asks Zehira, &quot;You're claiming that one?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;As host, I think I should let you go first, it seems only right.&quot;<br /> <br /> Forest Watcher Damoone went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Lilustra takes a seat.<br /> <br /> You laughingly say to Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye could, as ye know it! You've the strength of a giant, but ye will leave me as I deserve.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to Hebion in a regal accent, &quot;The treehouse? My treehouse is in a secret area.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Sofina.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;I meant the sailor.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha chews on Sofina's shoulder. Weirdo.<br /> <br /> Zehira exclaims in a regal accent, &quot;Oh!&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia nods to Davrion.<br /> <br /> You nod to Zersha.<br /> <br /> Sofina chews on Zersha's shoulder. Weirdo.<br /> <br /> Sofina hugs Zersha, who wraps her arms around Sofina with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Well I mean, he's not bad looking so we'll see.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Sofina says to Zersha, &quot;I think I forgot your hug.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Lend an ear, and I'll tell ye of a man named Finch - a right villain if ever there was one.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion leans on his pilum.<br /> <br /> Zersha cocks her head at you.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Not the slash-yer-throat sort, mind, but the kind that smiles as he's robbin' ye blind, then sells ye back your own boots with a grin and a bow.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says to Sofina in a Velakan accent, &quot;You can always give me more hugs.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;This was years back, in a salt-streaked town on the outskirts of Hara'jaal called Bitterbay. Miserable little place, full o' roiling jetties, crooked priests, and fishfolk who'd gut ye as quick as a mackerel if ye looked at 'em sideways.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina leans over and scratches Zersha's back.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Finch rolled in with nothin' but a threadbare coat, a deck of' marked cards, and more nerve than sense.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> Sofina casually observes the area.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;He wasn't in town more'n a day 'fore he'd sold a load of dockside swill to the mayor as &quot;blessed tonic water,&quot; pinched three purses in the temple, and set up shop as a rat-catcher - which, far as I could tell, meant he loosed rats into the inn at night and charged coin to &quot;banish&quot; 'em come morning.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Zersha blinks.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Now, one afternoon, he was makin' a swift exit out the apothecary's back door - where he'd swapped the leech-jar labels to cover a debt - when the town square up and caught fire.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Some say it was a tipped lantern, others mutter about naphtha and someone's third-best nephew who could never hack it as a Warrior Mage. In any case, smoke thick as bilgewater filled the air. Folk screamed, and ran every which way.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira joins Davrion's group.<br /> <br /> Nvalia chuckles.<br /> <br /> Zersha furrows her brow.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Finch, seein' flames and confusion, figured it was a fine time to vanish. But no sooner had he ducked down an alley than he blundered into the orphan house, smoke pouring in, beams groaning above.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Finch didn't stop to think, he just grabbed two small 'uns by the scruff, bellowed like a bosun's mate, and barreled through a back wall that wasn't much sturdier than parchment. There he came stumblin' into the square, blackened like a burnt biscuit, orphans trailin' behind him like ducklings.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Well, the townsfolk nearly wept. &quot;A hero!&quot; they cried. &quot;Saved the wee ones!&quot; They wrapped him in blankets, fed him stew, and called for an artist to capture his likeness 'fore the soot faded.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Finch tried to explain - honestly, the fool tried - but every time he opened his gob, someone handed him a bun or called him a gift from the gods.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> You smirk.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;He even got a key to the town, the large, gaudy kind the cursed silks like to bestow upon their puppets.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;For the next week he couldn't lift a single coin without someone noticing and shouting, &quot;Look! The hero buys his bread like us!&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia laughs!<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;A lesser man'd have been touched. Finch? He was miserable. Couldn't con, nor thieve, nor swindle. Every time he tried to nick something, folk'd smile at him like he were blessing their boots.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;So he took his leave in the dead of night, pocketed a few trinkets on the way, and was never seen again. But to this day, there's a statue of him in Bitterbay - standing proud, cradling a soot-streaked child, chin lifted like he's hearing Fortune thank him.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;They call him Finch the Fearless now: patron of orphans, fire, and rat-catchers, but if he'd stuck around, he'd have sold that statue for scrap.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> Raising her Boar's Head ale to you, Nvalia gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> You sweep a worn ebon-hued leather tricorn hat off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time.<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Accidental hero.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lilustra laughs!<br /> <br /> Davrion applauds.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Just so.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Would ye honor us with your story, Zersha?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims in a Velakan accent, &quot;Sure!&quot;<br /> <br /> (Zersha skips forward and waves to everyone with a grin.)<br /> <br /> Zehira gets an apple streusel cupcake with a candy wolf perched high on a mound of crunchy topping from inside her book bag.<br /> <br /> Nvalia gazes at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a bite of the cupcake.<br /> <br /> Casari takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> You stand near Davrion.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the whiskey. The woody-flavored liquid warms your throat.<br /> <br /> You finish off the rest of it, and set the glass aside.<br /> <br /> Davrion leans on you.<br /> <br /> Zehira stands near Davrion.<br /> <br /> You get a whiskey-laced cigar from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a bite of the cupcake.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;This is one of the many stories that my sister would tell me when I was little. While she never gives them titles, I've decided to call this one 'A Whiff of Roses, A Hint of Bone'.&quot;<br /> <br /> You get a small golden crocodile from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You quickly flick the switch on the back of the crocodile, pointing it at a whiskey-laced cigar as flames shoot out the creature's mouth, making the cigar quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> You put your crocodile in your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Now hush your chatter and settle in, for I bring you a tale of unlikely love, questionable tailoring, and the eternal power of flower petals and plush horrors.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a bite of the cupcake.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;There once lived a Rakash Cleric, bright as a midsummer dawn and twice as unpredictable. Her hair tumbled in wild red curls, the kind that refused to be tamed by braid, bonnet, or divine intervention. She sang her prayers in lilting tunes, and once banished a ghost with a glare and a garden trowel.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> You take a long drag off of a burning whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a bite of the cupcake.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Not far, though perhaps through a veil of mist and questionable decision-making, there lived an Elf. She was a Necromancer, tall and willowy, with eyes like glinting emeralds and a wardrobe that never met a color lighter than despair. Her talents were many: reanimating bones, raising the dead, and sewing delightfully creepy stuffed animals that giggled when no one was looking.&quot;<br /> <br /> Smoke rolls from between your lips, building a depiction of a proud brigantine ship. One by one, the sails drop open from the yardarms, billow with wind and the ship sails off over the waves.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes at her fingernails.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> An image of a sailing brigantine ship dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;One fog-choked afternoon, in a graveyard claimed by ivy and half-forgotten sighs, the Cleric came searching for a misplaced hymn book. What she found instead was the Necromancer, cross-legged atop a crypt, stitching a tiny plush dragon with button eyes and a suspiciously stitched-up grin.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;'Necromancer!' the Cleric exclaimed, scandalized.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha gasps!<br /> <br /> You glance at Zehira, a female Human.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;The Elf looked up and promptly forgot how to speak. '...Your hair is like fire!'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;From that moment on, things were, well, odd.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;The Elf began to appear in temple gardens, lurking behind hedges and pretending to admire the begonias. She brought gifts: strange little stuffed animals sewn from velvet and mystery, with too many limbs or not quite enough. There was a plush bat with one fang and a stuffed spider that wore a tiny silk hat. Some of them giggled. One of them whispered the names of flowers in its sleep.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> Zehira looks at you and shrugs.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;In return, the Cleric brought offerings of her own. Flowers, mostly, wild and bright, growing in joyful rebellion from every crack in the cobblestone. She'd weave them into crowns, wreaths, or simply tuck a single bloom behind the Elf's ear when she wasn't looking (or when she was as both had their charm).&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a long drag off of a burning whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> In rapid succession, you puff out a series of lines that form an unfinished web. A smoky spider on the edge of the web quickly completes it, then crawls to the center awaiting its prey.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;They spent hours debating matters of theology and necromancy over lukewarm tea, rescuing confused ghosts, and replanting graveyard moss into topiary animals shaped like hedgehogs. The Necromancer, for all her gloom and doom, began to smile more. Just a little.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;One evening, as stars blinked lazily awake and the air smelled faintly of rose and bone dust, the Elf turned to the Cleric and asked, 'Do you think the Immortals would let me try again?'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Jorvand gets a snifter of Milene's brandy from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> Jorvand takes a sip of his brandy.<br /> <br /> Zersha hums cheerfully to herself.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;The Cleric, without hesitation, took the plush bat from her lap, crowned it with a daisy, and said, 'Of course. They love a good redemption arc.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says in a Velakan accent, &quot;And a good pun.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles.<br /> <br /> Jorvand snickers.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;And so the Necromancer tried.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;She studied ancient scrolls and made very polite offerings. She unlearned curses and relearned hymns. She even returned a borrowed soul with a heartfelt note and a crocheted apology owl.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira wrinkles her nose.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;The Immortals, being wise, patient, and occasionally whimsical, welcomed her back. Not with trumpets or fanfare, but with a gentle breeze that carried the scent of forgiveness and lavender.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Now, should you wander near the edge of the wilds, you might stumble upon a cozy little cottage nestled between a shrine and a graveyard. In its garden, violets and bone lilies grow side by side, and from the windowsill hang a row of stitched creatures, all smiling slightly too wide.&quot;<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Lilustra frowns.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Within, a Cleric hums as she presses fresh blossoms into a book. A former Necromancer sews a new plush creation, this one with wings and a tiny clerical robe.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;They say love can conquer anything. Especially when flowers are involved.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims in a Velakan accent, &quot;The End!&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> You applaud.<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Sofina looks at Zersha and applauds!<br /> <br /> Zersha sinks into a deep curtsy.<br /> <br /> Hebion looks at Zersha and applauds!<br /> <br /> Davrion applauds.<br /> <br /> Zehira applauds.<br /> <br /> Lilustra blinks.<br /> <br /> Umron came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Sofina, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br /> <br /> Raising her Boar's Head ale to Zersha, Nvalia gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles a little oddly.<br /> <br /> Umron gestures.<br /> <br /> Davrion shakes Umron's hand.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth lets out a hearty cheer for Zersha!<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;I might have written something, not about any one person but you know a little thing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Your whiskey-laced cigar glows faintly as it burns down.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Oy serry me be late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha sticks her tongue out at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Got meself lost.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina laughs!<br /> <br /> You smile at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Gardener Ellywen came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zehira winks at you.<br /> <br /> You ask Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Will ye share it with us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Zersha in a melodic accent, &quot;A very wonderful story.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira beams at Ellywen!<br /> <br /> Zersha beams at Aemaranth!<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to you.<br /> <br /> Ellywen waves to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Ellywen smiles.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly asks Umron, &quot;Can blind men even GET lost?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims to Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;Thank you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina giggles.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Easy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron nods to Davrion.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Spin me in a circa.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha smiles at Sofina, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Sofina grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Nvalia whispers, &quot;I've got one as well, if we find ourselves with enough time.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye did tell a love story, and quite fantastic. I hope they found what they were looking for.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia leans back.<br /> <br /> Sofina sticks her tongue out at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Umron asks, &quot;Any willin tuh teach a bit o parry?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha just tickled Sofina, who laughs and returns the favor.<br /> <br /> You nod to Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Sofina squirms.<br /> <br /> Ellywen begins to listen to Davrion teach the Athletics skill.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;She is beauty sharpened into a weapon, vanity stitched into flesh and bone, and she knows it, adores it. Her reflection is a worshipped idol, her voice a spell sweeter than any incantation she casts. A necromancer of terrifying grac.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;I think they did! I like a little happily ever after, even if it is just in a story.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zehira coughs.<br /> <br /> You whisper to Nvalia, &quot;We certainly will, and ye honor us by telling it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Grace.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly asks, &quot;Does anyone object to my changing class to parry?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha shakes her head at Davrion.<br /> <br /> Davrion stops teaching.<br /> <br /> Davrion begins to lecture Umron on the proper use of the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> Umron begins to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> You take a long drag off of a burning whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Ellywen begins to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> You cast out a line of smoke that spreads out to form the image of a large pond. Suddenly a large-mouthed fish leaps through the surface of the &quot;water&quot; to catch a wispy fly and splashes back into the pond.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> Nvalia begins to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> Davrion begins to lecture Zersha on the proper use of the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Davrion begins to lecture Lilustra on the proper use of the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> You begin to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen gazes about with a calm look on his face.<br /> <br /> Zersha begins to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen gazes about the area with an intent look, watching the goings on.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;She doesn t just raise the dead she commands them with the elegance of a queen and the entitlement of a goddess. In her eyes, the world exists only to kneel or be remade. Every life taken is a brushstroke.&quot;<br /> <br /> An image of a splashing fish dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen gazes about with a calm look on his face.<br /> <br /> Nvalia gazes at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Hebion.<br /> <br /> (Dioe's emerald eyes fix upon Zehira as she speaks.)<br /> <br /> Amailia takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Hebion smiles at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;On the grand canvas of her legend, every soul a stepping stone toward the eternal throne she believes fate owes her. She isn t evil, not to herself.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia begins to listen to Davrion teach the Parry Ability skill.<br /> <br /> Sofina puts her lenses in her haversack.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;She s simply right. Always. Flawless. Destined. And if the living fear her or the dead serve her, it only proves what she already knows: she was born to be worshipped.&quot;<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Sofina gets a cherry-trimmed eye-shaped lens from inside her thigh pouch.<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Sofina went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Ok maybe it was about someone.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> Sofina puts her lens in her thigh pouch.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> A Halfling citizen came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zersha glances at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Never seen that fella before. Was taking a closer look.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina gestures at a Halfling citizen.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods to Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Who is it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Qizhan.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says to Sofina in a Velakan accent, &quot;At least he's dressed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha just nudged Sofina.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Good and evil are subjective. just a matter of perspective.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Mine dont live long enough to bother with clothing.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;It was poetically told, and full of the promise of power. I would guess ye speak of yourself. Am I wrong?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;I normally talk about myself so yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina snickers at Zehira.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Nvalia chuckles.<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Talking about oneself brings the most satisfaction.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina whistles a merry tune.<br /> <br /> Zehira exclaims in a regal accent, &quot;I mean I wrote a whole book about me!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha just tickled Sofina, who laughs and returns the favor.<br /> <br /> Nvalia glances at a Halfling citizen.<br /> <br /> Sofina squirms.<br /> <br /> Nvalia glances at a Ratha sewer monkey adorned in an elaborately plumed black tricorn hat.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;I actually enjoyed your book.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth nods politely to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Your story balances that of the beauty from the desert. Both are about a sort of love.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion ponders.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;I would say the story is a tradgedy. But still enjoyable.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gaze at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;Well if you can't love yourself, love well whoever you take home from the bar.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;I've not seen this book, i'll have to find it and give it a read.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Aemaranth in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye probably have the right of it.&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Zehira says to Davrion in a regal accent, &quot;It's in my bag.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira in a nautical accent, &quot;Not for me, but for many, that is good advice.&quot;<br /> <br /> Your whiskey-laced cigar goes out and crumbles away.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a regal accent, &quot;Me either. But I imagine for some.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Zehira, &quot;One day you'll have to loan me your copy. i love a good book.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to Davrion in a regal accent, &quot;Of course I will.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Love is lost to me forever, though I do not resent those who find it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;She told me if I didn't remember to return it that she would stab me in the throat.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Hebion, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth giggles.<br /> <br /> Zersha blinks at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;Tough library system.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a regal accent, &quot;Yes I did say that.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Aemaranth, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br /> <br /> Zersha beams at Hebion!<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Zersha in a melodic accent, &quot;Right?! Makes sure there are no lost books.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion grins at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Aemaranth, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> You ask Nvalia in a nautical accent, &quot;Nvalia, ye had a tale ye are willing to share with us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia smiles.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Nvalia, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> You get a fluted glass of sparkling white wine from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> Amailia inhales deeply of the drink.<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Davrion gets a mug of Boar's Head ale from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> (Umron taps around the room finding a place he could lean back and listened to the group)<br /> <br /> Davrion takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Nvalia says, &quot;I have one that I think is appropriate, given the company.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> Zersha cocks her head at Nvalia.<br /> <br /> You grin at Nvalia.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine.<br /> <br /> The eyes of a Halfling citizen become bright as he carefully looks around the area.<br /> <br /> Nvalia leans forward.<br /> <br /> (Davrion guides Umron to the bar to lean comfortably on)<br /> <br /> Nvalia hauntingly says, &quot;Some laughs echo louder than cannon fire. The ghostly kind, the kind you hear when your ship's gone still.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron smiles.<br /> <br /> You nod to Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Tank ye lad.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia hauntingly says, &quot;They say that laugh belongs to Bonny. She loved a man once. Watched him talk big and die small.&quot;<br /> <br /> You pat Umron on the back.<br /> <br /> You whisper to Umron, &quot;Good to see you again, mate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia says, &quot;The story goes like this.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Umron, &quot;My pleasure.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Umron whispers, &quot;I say duh same ting...buh me be blind&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;Jack was a clever captain who ran his ship like a theater stage: velvet coats, silken flags, showy raids. He liked wine. He liked songs. He liked being famous. But Bonny wasn't built for show. She was a fighter who didn't flinch when the cut came close, didn't blink when blood hit her boots. She stood with Jack, never behind.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron chuckles at you!<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> You smile at Umron.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Nvalia, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;Their crew carved their name on noble hulls, raided silk-laden sloops under moonlight, slipped through blockades like ghosts in the rigging. They hit ships that were meant to be untouchable, and laughed loud enough to carry on the wind.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia winks at Zersha.<br /> <br /> You whisper to Umron, &quot;Enjoy some drinks and some yarns, eh?&quot;<br /> <br /> Raising your white wine to Nvalia, you give her a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Umron whispers, &quot;I tink I ill. Tank ye&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine. A crisp flavor and a clean finish. Delectable.<br /> <br /> Davrion takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;Then came the night the navy caught up. Jack was drunk on stolen rum, bragging loud enough to wake the dead. The sea was slick with fog and gunpowder. Cannon fire cracked like thunder, and the first broadside took the color off half the deck. In their drunken stupor his men screamed, dropped their blades, scrambled like rats. Some dove, some prayed, most ...soaked their trousers.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha furrows her brow.<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;But not our bold Bonny. She stood barefoot in the blood, smoke curling in her hair, carving her name into anything that moved. The ship didn't fall til she did. They say it took the whole navy to drag her down.&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh happily.<br /> <br /> Firehawk Casari went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;When they took her to the gallows, she didn't beg. Didn't pray. Just stood there, boots muddy with blood, hands steady.<br /> <br /> They asked if she had words for him, her captain, who clung to rum and railing while she held the line alone. She said, 'If he had fought like a man, he needn't have died like a dog.' and laughed. Not loud, but clear enough to carry to every man who'd dropped his sword that night.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Nvalia leans forward.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;I like this story.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;The rope snapped tight.<br /> <br /> The laughter didn't stop.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod at Davrion, in complete agreement with his views.<br /> <br /> Zersha gasps!<br /> <br /> Nvalia recites:<br /> <br /> &quot;They say it still echoes. You hear it in the rigging on windless nights, in the last moment before a ship turns wrong. It's a warning. That someone aboard ain't worth the rope.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia hauntingly says, &quot;I don't believe in ghosts. But I believe in cowards. And I believe the sea remembers every one of them.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Nvalia, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Nvalia waggles her fingers mystically at you! Ooh! Scary!<br /> <br /> You exclaim in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye!&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia grins.<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Nvalia and applauds!<br /> <br /> Raising your white wine to Nvalia, you give her a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Davrion applauds.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Nvalia in a Velakan accent, &quot;A good story and well told.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lilustra nods.<br /> <br /> Ellywen laughs at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zehira looks at Nvalia and applauds!<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;I ate tuh say buh I ken neva rememba a face.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron nods.<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles at Umron.<br /> <br /> Nvalia says, &quot;A good moral about the strength of women.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira grins at Ellywen, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Nvalia chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Well told indeed. Swear you told stories from my own life, lass.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Nvalia, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> Amailia glances outside a moment.<br /> <br /> Nvalia says to you, &quot;I suspect there are some overlaps...&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia nods.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Woman or man makes no difference. strength is strength.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Amailia stares outside for a few long moments.<br /> <br /> You say to Nvalia in a nautical accent, &quot;It was a good tale, and well told. Thank you for sharing it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira asks Davrion in a regal accent, &quot;Yes yes I..was it me..was it me that won our spar?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Strength is important but it should be balanced and tempered.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha shifts her weight.<br /> <br /> Jorvand puts his brandy in his backpack.<br /> <br /> Sofina giggles.<br /> <br /> Swamp Shaman Jorvand went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Davrion nods to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zehira grins at Davrion, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Zehira, &quot;Until the next one you hold the crown.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion grins at Zehira.<br /> <br /> You ask in a nautical accent, &quot;I have another yarn to spin, if there is no other who wishes to share first?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira adjusts her moonsilver crown into place.<br /> <br /> Nvalia says to Zersha, &quot;Being on a ship for long enough will teach you balance and how to mind your temper.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia nods to Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Nvalia in a Velakan accent, &quot;I can only imagine.&quot;<br /> <br /> You whisper to Nvalia, &quot;Ye really must join us, love.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says to Nvalia in a Velakan accent, &quot;There aren't a lot of ships in the desert.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha ducks her head.<br /> <br /> Amailia inhales deeply of the drink.<br /> <br /> Nvalia whispers, &quot;It was a bit of a warning, as well&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia grins mischievously.<br /> <br /> Nvalia nods to you.<br /> <br /> You grin at Nvalia.<br /> <br /> A Ratha sewer monkey adorned in an elaborately plumed black tricorn hat gambols playfully about the area, completely oblivious to the threatening presence of a Halfling citizen.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;There was a lass named Lottie, and a right puffed peacock of a lord called Bramble - may he forever burn in the Spiral.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Bramble was the sort who treated a village like a coinpurse - often squeezed and jealously guarded. Thought himself untouchable, he did. Sat in his high manor over the village, pressing the folk for tolls, taxes, and tithes to every god he'd never prayed to, and many he didn't.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;He'd shut the school, turned the orphanage into a kennel, and once taxed a child for skipping stones on his lordly pond.&quot;<br /> <br /> Picnic Basketcase Allye's group came through an open door.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;But what he had in coin, he lacked in sense. And that's where Miss Lottie came in.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Allye hugs Zersha, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Lottie weren't nobility, but she knew how to play the part. Sharp-eyed, sweet-voiced, and quicker with her plans than most are with their prayers.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion bows to Illiya.<br /> <br /> Allye grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Illiya smiles at Davrion, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;She could've taken Bramble for a pouch of coin or a fine ring, easy enough - but she aimed higher.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Illiya hugs Aemaranth, who wraps her arms around Illiya with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Zersha curtsies gracefully to Illiya.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;One day, she came by a band of actors passin' through - a scrappy lot with a good false beard and a better falsetto - and paid 'em for a special performance.&quot;<br /> <br /> Illiya hugs Zersha, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Zersha blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue.<br /> <br /> Zersha hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Zersha beams at Illiya!<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;The next night, as Bramble's sittin' lazy and smug in his study, in storms a herald in royal blue, puffin' and proclaimin':<br /> <br /> &quot;Make way! Make way for His Grace, Baron Jeladric III, ruler of Therengia, First Lance of the Realm, Light of the North!&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Illiya, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And in walks the baron - tall, regal, with a voice like polished brass and a frown sharp enough to geld a horse. (Truth be told, it was an actor named Lemmy, who played tree stumps in tragedies - but by the abyss, he did shine in silk.)&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron grumbles.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Bramble,&quot; said the baron, &quot;I've come to reckon accounts.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Now Bramble near choked on his brandy. &quot;Accounts, Your Grace?&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Aye,&quot; says Lemmy-the-baron. &quot;Treason. Misrule. Cruelty to orphans and abuse of toll laws. The Court's had complaints.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Bramble babbled, broke out in a sweat, offered coins and casks of wine.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Ok really like this one too.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh no,&quot; said the baron. &quot;This is baronial business. I'm here to seize your lands, and your head besides. At dawn.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;At which point, in swept Lottie, all in shadow and silk, sayin':<br /> <br /> &quot;My baron - spare the man's life. He's a fool, not a traitor. Let me spirit him away before dawn. Let him vanish, and let the land be put to better use.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And the baron, after some noble hummin' and hawin', said:<br /> <br /> &quot;Fine. But the lands must be signed over to someone fit. Say, a village trust for communal farmland. In perpetuity. Or the axe it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nibbles her lip thoughtfully.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Now Bramble was too frightened to think, much less argue. Lottie handed him a parchment - already drawn, sealed, and witnessed - and he signed it so fast he near broke the quill.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Come dawn, he was smuggled out in a cabbage cart, still wearin' his slippers, and last anyone saw of him he was headed for Langenfirth in a monk's robe, mutterin' about divine punishment and &quot;the baron's demon courtiers.&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Of course, the baron turned back into Lemmy, who got a free tankard and the lead role in the next town's play.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia gets a mug of Boar's Head ale from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And Lottie? She stayed just long enough to see the deed registered, the land put in trust, and the first seeds laid in the freshly tilled soil. Then she vanished, too - some say to the Zoluren, some say to sea, but most agree she left laughing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion chuckles.<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Davrion looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine.<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> Raising her Boar's Head ale to you, Nvalia gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Zehira looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> Illiya applauds.<br /> <br /> You sweep a worn ebon-hued leather tricorn hat off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time.<br /> <br /> Davrion takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Allye looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> Zersha whispers something to Hebion.<br /> <br /> You exclaim in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye are kind. Thank you! And please grab a drink from the cloth if ye have a thirst!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims in a Velakan accent, &quot;Lots of fun stories!&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> You nod to Zersha.<br /> <br /> Lilustra nods.<br /> <br /> You say to Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye, and well told, all.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;And all very different, which just makes it more fun.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Every story has been great and very well told. impressive.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Zersha.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;If there are any others who wish to share a tell, ye are most welcome.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia gets a snifter of Milene's brandy from atop a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms.<br /> <br /> Amailia inhales deeply of the drink.<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zersha rubs Sofina's head.<br /> <br /> Nvalia raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;If not, Amailia wishes to ask some questions, and I am at her service now that I am in my cups, and in a better mood than I deserve.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br /> <br /> Nvalia takes a sip of her ale.<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;That sounds like it could be a story all its own.&quot;<br /> <br /> You grin at Amailia.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> (Umron pats along the bar for a drink)<br /> <br /> Nvalia offers Umron a mug of Boar's Head ale.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;Questions are dangerous.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia just touched Umron.<br /> <br /> Amailia glances at you.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth giggles a little oddly.<br /> <br /> You say to Zersha in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye. I'm not certain what she wishes to ask... but my mood makes me wish to conceal nothing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;Very well.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;Questions are important.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron accepts Nvalia's Boar's Head ale.<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Oy tank ye.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lilustra stands up.<br /> <br /> Lilustra dusts herself off.<br /> <br /> Sofina whistles a merry tune.<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;One moment.. apologies.&quot;<br /> <br /> Observer Amailia went through an open door.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Umron.<br /> <br /> Lilustra whispers, &quot;Forgive me. Other matters call to me. Perhaps we can talk another time?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Davrion in a nautical accent, &quot;One day I hope ye will speak of the path ye walked, mate.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Lilustra.<br /> <br /> Lilustra curtsies.<br /> <br /> You sweep a worn ebon-hued leather tricorn hat off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Lilustra at the same time.<br /> <br /> Sofina hitches up the waistband of her leather skirt.<br /> <br /> Sofina examines a flared black leather skirt with batiste panels.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to you, &quot;Perhaps, tis not a story I am proud of.&quot;<br /> <br /> You whisper to Lilustra, &quot;Farewell for now.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth runs her finger along the neckline of her sleek corset, giving a soft smile.<br /> <br /> Zersha smiles at Lilustra, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> You say to Davrion in a nautical accent, &quot;My own story is not one in which I can take pride, but ye are strong and reliable, and your choices ye should take pride in.&quot;<br /> <br /> Lilustra waves.<br /> <br /> Alchemy Guru Lilustra went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Observer Amailia came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Amailia coughs.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Amailia, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> You grin at Amailia.<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;Right then.&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine. A crisp flavor and a clean finish. Delectable.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to you, &quot;Where i am now and what I do I take pride in. what it took me to get to this point nothing but shame.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Davrion.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth gets a thick-bladed fan of everdusk damite fitted with carved grimwood slips from inside her leather baldric.<br /> <br /> With a practiced flick of her wrist, Aemaranth snaps open her thick-bladed fan, fluttering it gently. Oddly enough, you spy a gleam of sharpened edges as it moves.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth shifts her thick-bladed fan to a medium edged grip while quietly uttering the names of the war gods.<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says to Davrion in a Velakan accent, &quot;Now you're making me curious too.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth surveys her surroundings with a keen eye, absent-mindedly fluttering her thick-bladed fan as she does.<br /> <br /> You nod to Davrion.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Hebion, obviously agreeing with his views.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks you, &quot;First question. Do you care to explain yourself to the citizens of Riverhaven on why you set fire to their city?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Davrion in a nautical accent, &quot;That makes ye even stronger, mate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia leans forward and rests her chin in her hand and directs a thoughtful expression at Amailia.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a thin silver cigarillo case from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> A small *click* followed by a whirring of gears can be heard as Zehira opens her cigarillo case.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a long silvery cigarillo printed with glittery shooting stars from inside her cigarillo case.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;I set fire to the buildings that support the parasitic nobility. I wish to destroy them, and empower the people.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira snaps the top of her cigarillo case into place.<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her case in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a diminutive tin magma viper from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Zehira points her tin viper at a long silvery cigarillo and a flame shoots from the creature's mouth, making the cigarillo quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> Davrion takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning silvery cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Hebion raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales reverently, easing the fragrant smoke through her lips so softly, you think she might be praying. The tantalizing scent of fresh purple iris emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the area with an airy, inviting aroma.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks, &quot;I believe the Empath guild was also impacted, am I right?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Not by my hand, nor that of my crew.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Amailia nods.<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says in a Velakan accent, &quot;There were also orcs. I don't think they were working together.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha glances at you.<br /> <br /> Zersha shrugs.<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;Yes, unfortunately they took advantage of the chaos.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion leans on his pilum.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;We have no quarrel with those who seek to live by their labor, only those who seek to take while contributing nothing, who have power, and priviledge without earning, and those who commit the foulest deeds with no justice served upon them.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Nvalia whispers something to Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Nvalia.<br /> <br /> Nvalia winks at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Well said.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Nvalia and shrugs.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks, &quot;And your crew responded with that by... fire. Are you associated with the former goblin Krenze?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> Davrion frowns.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;I am not. Fire is a means to and end: the destruction of that which was taken, rather than earned.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning silvery cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales reverently, easing the fragrant smoke through her lips so softly, you think she might be praying. The tantalizing scent of fresh purple iris emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the area with an airy, inviting aroma.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;If I could destroy the nobility with ice, I would use it, but fire is a tool easier for me to employ.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira casually flicks some ashes off the end of her silvery cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth ponders.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks, &quot;So you wish to not only destroy what they have &quot;stolen&quot;, but the people themselves as well?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, &quot;You speak like a Cleric of Ushnish.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Every last one of them who claim titles, land or aught else for which they don't lift a finger to improve, nor have any claim to, save by tradition or so called 'birthright.&quot;<br /> <br /> You spit on the floor.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth surveys her surroundings with a keen eye, absent-mindedly fluttering her thick-bladed fan as she does.<br /> <br /> Hebion asks, &quot;How much work makes them entitled to their lands and titles?&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Aemaranth in a nautical accent, &quot;They also make use of fire, no?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, &quot;I do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron takes a sip of his ale.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning silvery cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> You nod to Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales reverently, easing the fragrant smoke through her lips so softly, you think she might be praying. The tantalizing scent of fresh purple iris emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the area with an airy, inviting aroma.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks you, &quot;And you feel this way with all nobility, no matter the province?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Aemaranth in a nautical accent, &quot;If ye seek to employ it against a lazy and useless enemy, or to free good people from tyranny, I hope ye will reach out.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye, no matter what the province.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron scratches distractedly at his beard.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks you, &quot;And if you reach your goal...&quot; Amailia takes a breath, almost shuddering at the thought of it, then steadies herself. &quot;What next?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Hebion in a nautical accent, &quot;How much? Any would be a start. If a noble inherited a title and an estate and servants and wealth, and they squeeze the people they can with no consequences, they should not rest, because I will kill them in due time.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth asks you in a melodic accent, &quot;The strike of the Viper causes pain, despair, and decay. It also causes falsehoods to be torn down. Maybe you should seek his assistance if you believe the North is so corrupt?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia stands up.<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;The people will form ways of governing themselves. They will work together, help each other, or not - but there will be no class of rich nobles oppressing them, and I will study magic far away, and trouble no one.&quot;<br /> <br /> You shake your head at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;That's a threadbare argument.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Aemaranth in a nautical accent, &quot;I cannot, but if ye do, and have wisdom to share, I will hear it gladly in the service to my mission.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth ponders.<br /> <br /> (Amailia makes some notes.)<br /> <br /> Aemaranth gazes at you intently, clearly scrutinizing your aura.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> Nvalia carefully lifts a Ratha sewer monkey adorned in an elaborately plumed black tricorn hat and then holds it gently in her arm.<br /> <br /> Nvalia glances at a Ratha sewer monkey adorned in an elaborately plumed black tricorn hat.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, &quot;Even for you, his forgiveness is there. But I will not waste breath beyond that.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;There are very few if any in the nobility that don't do any work at all. Who decides what is considered work just puts a slant on their view of justice.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;You're suggesting that people will get rid of a class system after this? That's quite optimistic.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth nods politely to you.<br /> <br /> You say to Hebion in a nautical accent, &quot;Not to me, not to my mother, nor to the countless people who suffer at the hands of those who feel they are untouchable, unkillable, and entitled to power without limit. I will send them all to the Spiral, however long it takes.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron emphatically raps the tip of his flamewood cane upon the ground.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;So it's just a personal grudge you want supported.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Courage is required to change the world, mate. I have found companions who share that courage, and we are determined in our task.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly asks, &quot;Aren't all such movements begun with a personal grudge who others with like minds attach themselves to?&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;No, not all.&quot;<br /> <br /> (Amailia takes more notes. &quot;I suppose that is all. I'll give the rest of the floor to whoever else needs to ask anything.&quot;)<br /> <br /> You ask Hebion in a nautical accent, &quot;Is it? Am I alone in finding the nobility above the common law? In having things taken from me I'll never get back? In hating those who subsist like leeches on the labor of those they scorn?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha shifts her weight.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;Justice cares not for personal loss or gain.&quot;<br /> <br /> Allye smiles at Amailia.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Justice cares much for cruetly, lies and suffering beyond measure, and it's going to be levied a thousand fold on those who deserve it most.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;One would argue you are above common law, as am I.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nibbles her lip thoughtfully.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Hebion, &quot;Justice is blind and all in the eye of the beholder. what you see as justice others may see as tyranny and vice versa.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says in a Velakan accent, &quot;True justice doesn't have a point of view, it just is.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha fidgets nervously.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;I think you should be vary careful arguing justice with me.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;Ifin ye all ponden me.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;When the Immortals give us what we see as justice, someone, somewhere has injustice put upon them.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;I tink duh stars be callin me name.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;I've found beside those nobles you claim do nothing but subjugate those below them.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye. Those with favors or powerful magic are not common, but even we must bow to the law of the nobility. Who among us has not been arrested? When as the last time the Prince, the Baron or the Ferdahl was arrested?&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;If ye need a pouch sold please leh me kno.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;They laugh while all others dance on their strings, but no more.&quot;<br /> <br /> Umron says, &quot;I dun care if ye rich er poor, or if ye good er bad, coin be coin.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says to Hebion, &quot;I will argue whatever I wish and if you disagree that's your perogative but i will not be disrespected or threatened. fair warning.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;They will rot, and I will send them there.&quot;<br /> <br /> (Umron taps his way towards the exit)<br /> <br /> Aemaranth ponders.<br /> <br /> Hebion snickers.<br /> <br /> Umron went through an open door.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;I have yet to see one of the nobility pick pocket or murder in the streets without cause.&quot;<br /> <br /> (Amailia takes several steps back toward the wall, just in case it gets interesting.)<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, &quot;If I was on some crusade of justice, I would do my upmost to stay out of Ilithi.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia gazes silently at Hebion.<br /> <br /> Zehira grins at Ellywen, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Ellywen smiles at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;You see it every day.&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> You nod to Davrion.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Every single day.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion asks, &quot;How?&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Hebion asks, &quot;Are you skulking in their council chambers?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia says to Hebion, &quot;Why would nobility need to pick pockets to get coin? They're far more blatant when they steal.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth just tickled Zersha, making her laugh.<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Nvalia blinks.<br /> <br /> You say to Hebion in a nautical accent, &quot;Taxes, prisons, servants who barely have the coin to feed their families, who are manipulated and coerced by those with more power than themselves.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;They protect their people and enforce laws to prevent these things as well.&quot;<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;Do the nobility not tax the commoners almost to the point of not being able to feed their own families? and what do they give in return? nothing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion asks, &quot;So you set the people on fire?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Aye. The nobles will burn.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;No, the poor will burn.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;The nobles will be no where near the places you have access to.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;They will rise from the ashes, and be poor no longer.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;We shall see.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Time is on my side.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, &quot;You sound more like a Cleric than I.&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> You smile at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Sofina glances at Aemaranth.<br /> <br /> Sofina asks Aemaranth, &quot;You're a Cleric?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth says to Sofina in a melodic accent, &quot;Sometimes.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Amailia in a nautical accent, &quot;Is there aught else ye wish to ask?&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;I see.&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth sprinkles some holy water on Sofina.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth giggles.<br /> <br /> Sofina gasps at Aemaranth!<br /> <br /> Amailia says to you, &quot;No, I am done.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;When you actually wish to learn about justice, we can speak.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Amailia.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly says, &quot;And unfortunately many will stand to protect them out of a sense of duty and they too shall fall. it's regretable but the one language everyone understands is violence. and change of this scale by nature is violent.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha softly asks Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;How can one sometimes be a Cleric?&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina asks Aemaranth, &quot;And what if I burst into a flame?&quot;<br /> <br /> Aemaranth grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> You say to Hebion in a nautical accent, &quot;If ye wish to serve justice, we should speak. Join us. Destroy that which oppresses many.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia leans on Sofina.<br /> <br /> Nvalia quietly says to Sofina, &quot;Then you'll get a lecture for endangering us innocent bystanders.&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine. A crisp flavor and a clean finish. Delectable.<br /> <br /> You finish off the rest of it, and set the glass aside.<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;Justice isn't about destruction.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nvalia says to Sofina, &quot;So keep the fire to a minimum, please.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion says, &quot;That's vengeance which is not the same thing.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;But you're still a Cleric, I don't always hug trees, but I'm still a Ranger.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Aemaranth, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br /> <br /> Zersha softly says to Aemaranth in a Velakan accent, &quot;A bad one, but still.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles a little oddly.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Ye have been good company, and spun many interesting yarns.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> You say in a nautical accent, &quot;Fair winds, mates, until the next time we meet.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gather up the food spread out on a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms, bundle it all into a silverwillow picnic basket festooned with a riot of colorful blossoms, and close the lid securely.<br /> <br /> Davrion quietly asks, &quot;Truly? take for example this current problem with the heralds. is not all of your answer to destroy them? is that then not justice?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Speaking of hugging trees, I think it's about that time.&quot;<br /> <br /> You put your basket in your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to you.<br /> <br /> Zersha hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Zersha pulls Sofina to her in a tight hug.<br /> <br /> You nod to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zersha pulls Aemaranth to her in a tight hug.<br /> <br /> Zersha hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Illiya hugs Zersha, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> Zersha pulls Hebion to her in a tight hug.<br /> <br /> You sweep a worn ebon-hued leather tricorn hat off your head and in front of you in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time.<br /> <br /> Aemaranth pulls Zersha to her in a tight hug.<br /> <br /> Zersha gently kisses Hebion on the cheek.<br /> <br /> Allye hugs Zersha, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Illiya grins at Zersha, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Sofina hugs Zersha, who wraps her arms around Sofina with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Hebion gently kisses Zersha on the forehead.<br /> <br /> Zersha curtsies gracefully.<br /> <br /> Hebion nods politely.<br /> <br /> [go2]&gt;go door<br /> <br /> [Acenamacra, The Village Path] (108005)<br /> <br /> The grandest house in the village lies at the end of the path, the apparent social center of the settlement.

It is a large park with the graceful gardens of the Temple set within well-tended lawns. Here and there, benches for the public's use are set out under shady trees, and you can often find an old retired merchant or river captain taking his ease and watching the passing tide of people. You also see a young alchemist student, a uniformed representative, a mud-splattered chest, the Temple, a simple bench, a festive meeting portal and a news stand with a grinning imp on it.<br /> <br /> Also here: Sophister Deatly who is almost invisible, Frost Prince Oogamooga whose form wavers within a tempestuous storm of blue and grey smoke, Frost Princess Nemy whose crown is encircled by swirling frosty crystalline fractals and Observer Amailia.<br /> <br /> Obvious paths: north, east, west.<br /> <br /> Amailia shakes her head.<br /> <br /> (Amailia ruffles through her notes.)<br /> <br /> Nemy says in a courtly accent, &quot;Notes sortin is a important step.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nemy nods.<br /> <br /> (Dioe smashes windows, reaching inside to grab whatever appears valuable.)<br /> <br /> (Dioe's fingers slip, and he roars a curse loudly!)<br /> <br /> You drop a platinum diadem sprinkled with sapphire dust.<br /> <br /> Nemy says in a courtly accent, &quot;Is why i hand all mine ta Moonster.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amailia blinks.<br /> <br /> You move slightly to the left, hoping to find a better foraging spot.<br /> <br /> You manage to find a balsa branch.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> You notice Deatly trying to remain hidden while speaking.<br /> <br /> You hear the voice of Deatly say, &quot;Yes...take what we can.&quot;<br /> <br /> You hear the voice of Deatly say, &quot;Move and grab.&quot;<br /> <br /> You drop a balsa branch.<br /> <br /> Amailia asks, &quot;....

Amailia completely fails to block with her target shield. The spear lands an apocalyptic strike (So that's what it felt like when Grazhir shattered!) that cuts deeply into the left tricep, lightly stunning her.<br /> <br /> The spear lodges itself firmly into Amailia!<br /> <br /> [You're winded (99%), adeptly balanced and overwhelming opponent.]<br /> <br /> [Roundtime 6 sec.]<br /> <br /> You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.<br /> <br /> You close to pole weapon range on Amailia.<br /> <br /> You get a blade-bone skull inset with demon gaze agate eyes from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You whisper the final word of your spell so that none may notice your effort.<br /> <br /> Your spell injects more psychic corruption into the area.<br /> <br /> Your eyes flare with a whorl of black energy as you turn your gaze upon Amailia.<br /> <br /> Amailia's eyes dull momentarily with dark energy as your psychic malady takes hold to usurp a portion of her sight!<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 2 sec.<br /> <br /> You close to melee range on Amailia.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Strange Arrow spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> You begin to weave mana lines into a target pattern around Amailia.<br /> <br /> You notice Oogamooga glance your direction.<br /> <br /> You notice Nemy glance your direction.<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Eyes of the Blind.<br /> <br /> You put your skull in your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You draw out your greatsword from the firesilk baldric, gripping it firmly in your right hand and balancing with your left.<br /> <br /> You lower your shoulders and steady your weapon.<br /> <br /> Making an agile leap, you lash out in an attempt to cleave Amailia in half!<br /> <br /> Your greatsword lands a devastating hit to Amailia's left eye!<br /> <br /> A panicked scream pierces the air. &quot;Murderer!&quot; You notice the nearby citizenry looking your way for the moment, before most quickly run off in fear.<br /> <br /> Amailia stops listening to Nemy.<br /> <br /> * Amailia was just struck down at Riverhaven, Town Square!<br /> <br /> * Amailia is slain before your eyes!<br /> <br /> You sheathe the greatsword in your firesilk baldric.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, a haralun spear with a balanced blade leaps from Amailia's body and flies toward you! The spear slides to your right hand, reuniting you with your lost belonging.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 1 sec.<br /> <br /> Your formation of a targeting pattern around Amailia has completed.<br /> <br /> You quickly slip into hiding to prepare to sneak.<br /> <br /> You melt into the background, convinced that your attempt to hide went unobserved.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 2 sec.<br /> <br /> You sneak east...<br /> <br /> [Riverhaven, Town Hall Road] (1010008)<br /> <br /> The finest Inn of the region dwells here, near the center of town. The Pierless Inn as locals know it, rises some three stories in stone and timberwork. Perhaps as much business is done here as in the Guildhall nearby and certainly in much more cordial circumstances. Both public and private dining can be had as well as a huge common room. Sleeping accommodations range from the simple but clean to several elegant suites worthy of a Master Trader. You also see the Municipal Pier.<br /> <br /> Obvious paths: northeast, east, west, northwest.<br /> <br /> You aren't harnessing any mana.<br /> <br /> You let your concentration lapse and feel the spell's energies dissipate.<br /> <br /> You come out of hiding.<br /> <br /> You sheathe the spear in your firesilk baldric.<br /> <br /> Your spell subtly alters the corruption around you, creating a blind spot once more.<br /> <br /> [General] Your mind hears Vendelt thinking, &quot;Seems the issue was serious&quot;<br /> <br /> [General] You hear your mental voice echo, &quot;Silence is golden, mate.&quot;<br /> <br /> You concentrate on projecting your thoughts.<br /> <br /> [General] Your mind hears Darkewolff thinking, &quot;Indeed it is.&quot;<br /> <br /> You go east.<br /> <br /> A gang of sweating and cursing Dwarves is working on repairs to the town wall. Several timbers, even though formed of solid iron-wood, have been infested with dry rot and are being replaced. Several Gor'Togs wait to set another heavy beam upright in the stone socket being prepared for it. Many of the laborers appear to have come from the nearby jail, to judge by their leg-irons and bored expressions. You notice the oaken door leading into the jail.<br /> <br /> Obvious paths: north, south.<br /> <br /> The Riverhaven Warden strides in, looking around carefully for signs of trouble.<br /> <br /> [Personal] Your mind hears Darkewolff thinking, &quot;&lt;to you&gt;&quot; &quot;rain hell on 'em.&quot;<br /> <br /> Your corruption fades, revealing you to the world once more.<br /> <br /> You manage to find a balsa branch.<br /> <br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> The Riverhaven Warden scans the area with a watchful eye.<br /> <br /> The Warden stares in your direction for a long moment, then charges straight for you! You are unable to evade the onslaught, trapped by the Warden.<br /> <br /> With deft actions, the Warden binds your hands behind your back, and marches you off.<br /> <br /> The Warden brings you to the jail, where several companions aid to hold you down and strip you of all your possessions. They are placed in a sack under the watchful eye of the jail warden, and then you are ushered to a cell, the door opened just long enough for you to be shoved inside.<br /> <br /> [Town Jail, The Cell] (**)<br /> <br /> A very small barred window provides some fresh air to this barren room. The walls, made of iron reinforced oak, would be barren were it not for the shackle rings placed every few feet apart. A stone floor provides the only place to sit or lay.

Just as the smell of burning flesh begins to assault your senses, a brick-red cloud billows forth from your grasp. You clench your fist and the swirling torrent of particles responds, coalescing into an immense humanoid construct of sodden loam.<br /> <br /> Abruptly the exterior of the being solidifies into a rocky shell, trapping a smattering of liquid on the outside. The viscous fluid runs labyrinthine trails down the front of the creature before being reabsorbed by its skin. Its head mechanically snaps up and it immediately scans the area for targets.<br /> <br /> You draw out your spear from the firesilk baldric, gripping it firmly in your right hand and balancing with your left.<br /> <br /> &lt; Ineptly, you hurl a haralun spear with a balanced blade at Betlind.

The meteor hammer lands a heavy strike to an immense dirt construct's right arm.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Vivisection spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> You begin to weave mana lines into a target pattern around Betlind.<br /> <br /> With an almost peristaltic shiver, your spell seeks out the dark corruption that stains Betlind's eyes.<br /> <br /> You notice Ophiliah glance your direction.<br /> <br /> You notice Illiya glance your direction.<br /> <br /> You notice Nawain glance your direction.<br /> <br /> You notice Moriora glance your direction.<br /> <br /> Couri begins to advance on an immense dirt construct.<br /> <br /> Betlind draws forth an elegant haledroth tachi with a silversteel butterfly tsuba.<br /> <br /> Death's Shadow Moriora saunters northeast.<br /> <br /> Qetu whips his meteor hammer at an immense dirt construct.

As the pentad of motes then gyrates with dizzying velocity, Ophiliah becomes encased in a spectral cocoon which soon sinks into her body. The motes disappear into the ground one by one.<br /> <br /> The force holding an immense dirt construct together abruptly gives way and a brick-red liquid wells up from rapidly spreading cracks in its hardened exterior. In the blink of an eye, the remaining shell collapses into the merest handful of dust, scattering on the breeze almost immediately.<br /> <br /> Appearing to have lost sight of her target, Couri stops advancing.<br /> <br /> Qetu begins to advance on Zehira.<br /> <br /> * Deatly was just struck down!<br /> <br /> Betlind begins to advance on Zehira.<br /> <br /> The black eldritch symbols on Zehira's hexwood wristcuff turn glossy like wet ink, the spiky markings appearing to spill across her hand in an illusory tattoo before fading.<br /> <br /> Betlind angles her target shield at Zehira and charges forwards!<br /> <br /> The air around Zehira solidifies into a blinding yellow luminescence and intercepts the attack with a shower of coruscating light.<br /> <br /> Betlind's target shield lands a glancing strike to Zehira's abdomen!<br /> <br /> Qetu whips his meteor hammer at Zehira.

Following the natural cut through the foothills, the road continues northward and dips out of sight. A faint moisture hangs in the air from the Faldesu river directly to the south.

Beggars line the paved road, aware that the more influential and wealthy folks use this gate. They hover, hands extended, hoping that a moment of kindness and charity might befall them.

Following the natural cut through the foothills, the road continues northward and dips out of sight. A faint moisture hangs in the air from the Faldesu river directly to the south. The eastern gate of Riverhaven can be seen off to the southwest. You also see a bristle-backed peccary, a bristle-backed peccary, a bristle-backed peccary which appears dead, some ornate iron gates, a long-fanged warcat, a goblin shaman that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a long-fanged warcat, a nightstalker unyn, a red bear orc ravager, a vicious warcat, a veteran veteran shaman, a goblin shaman that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a red bear orc berserker, a red bear orc ravager, a veteran orc raider, a red bear orc ravager, a veteran orc bandit, a red bear orc bandit, a long-fanged warcat, a vicious warcat, a vicious warcat, a veteran orc berserker, a vicious warcat, a veteran veteran shaman that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a red bear orc scavenger, a champion champion raider, a champion champion raider, a long-fanged warcat, a vicious warcat, a red bear orc berserker, a red bear orc bandit and a champion champion raider.<br /> <br /> Obvious paths: north, southwest.<br /> <br /> You go north.<br /> <br /> [Riverhaven Road, South Road] (1012305)<br /> <br /> A grove of trees grows between the road and Riverhaven's defensive wall just to the west. A large tent is nestled within the grove. Several smaller tents have been added as extension to the back of the larger one, hiding in back of it like children peeking out from behind their mother.

You also see a nightstalker unyn, a veteran veteran raider, a veteran veteran bandit, a champion champion giant, a veteran veteran shaman that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a veteran veteran berserker, a simple wooden picnic table covered in gingham with several things on it, some pine logs, a long-fanged warcat, a goblin shaman, a red bear orc berserker, a long-fanged warcat, a champion champion giant and a vicious warcat.<br /> <br /> Also here: a stunned Enelne's Champion Nawain.<br /> <br /> Obvious paths: northeast, south.<br /> <br /> You notice the veteran giant attempting to stealthily advance upon you!<br /> <br /> The veteran giant is still a distance away from you and is closing steadily.<br /> <br /> A veteran veteran berserker feints high at Nawain.

A small metal gate leads inside the fenced-in area, apparently rusted closed. A few dead flowers placed on some of the graves are a gloomy contrast to those plots that are well-maintained and freshly flowered by the occupants' family and friends. The road dips down into the plains to the northeast and heads southward toward the town of Riverhaven.

Beggars line the paved road, aware that the more influential and wealthy folks use this gate. They hover, hands extended, hoping that a moment of kindness and charity might befall them.

Without warning, a single giant face suddenly appears, snarling and snickering! The remaining faces pop back into visibility, each silently laughing a moment before resuming their normal movement.<br /> <br /> He spits it out immediately with a look of utter revulsion!<br /> <br /> Ophiliah nods.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;Evening, mate. They all me Dioe.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Ello. Parned.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raising your Amechra's Own Ale to Parned, you give him a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Bah....revolting stuff here.&quot;<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a shot of Black Road whiskey across the bar.<br /> <br /> Parned shudders.<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a shot of Black Road whiskey across the bar.<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a shot of Black Road whiskey across the bar.<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a shot of Black Road whiskey across the bar.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Pleasure to meet, ye, Parned.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah gets a shot of Black Road whiskey from atop the bar.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah leans against the bar.<br /> <br /> You glance at Ophiliah, a female Elf.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah glances at you.<br /> <br /> You ask Ophiliah, &quot;Whiskey?&quot;<br /> <br /> One of the faces on Deatly's hat splits into two smaller faces, and every face on the hat begins to follow suit! After a moment, the hat is a murky collection of pinpricks, all jostling around. Gradually, the moving dots begin to coalesce into larger and larger faces, until each returns to its normal movement.<br /> <br /> Parned puts his Dark on the bar.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Whats wrong with it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah gasps and chokes as her face takes on a bright reddish hue!<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a goblet of Piet's Wicked Ale across the bar.<br /> <br /> Parned gets a goblet of Piet's Wicked Ale from atop the bar.<br /> <br /> Parned jumps back a few feet and lands on his rump, looking dazed!<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Not a thing. Get the job done - well done.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Oh that ale looks good as a chaser.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;That's better.....i'd advise against the dark for anyone thinking of it.&quot;<br /> <br /> You grin at Parned.<br /> <br /> Parned frowns at Amechra.<br /> <br /> Deatly raises his arm skyward, chanting.<br /> <br /> Deatly gets a cambrinth orb from inside his scribe's pack.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah gets a goblet of Piet's Wicked Ale from atop the bar.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;I'll stick with Amechra's own in that case.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah jumps back a few feet and lands on her rump, looking dazed!<br /> <br /> Ophiliah stands up.<br /> <br /> &gt;glance Deatly<br /> <br /> You glance at Deatly, a male Elothean.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Smooooth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly gestures.<br /> <br /> Deatly's cambrinth orb emits a loud *snap*.<br /> <br /> Soft beams of ambient light swirl around Deatly, covering him in a barrier of bright light.<br /> <br /> Parned takes a sip of his Ale.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah glances at something on top of the bar.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah draws her ghost-white cloak away from her hips.<br /> <br /> You ask Deatly, &quot;Spellcaster, I see. How do ye fare this evening, mate?&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says to you, &quot;I am doing well, just listening to the moons.&quot;<br /> <br /> You chuckle.<br /> <br /> A whirring noise drifts up from Zehira's mistglass anklet as a number of the miniature gears careen into a blur of spinning metal. Each one helping to propel the next one until one unmoving gear causes the whole thing to come to a sudden squealing halt complete with a puff of dark smoke.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says to you in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Don't get him started on the moons.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;They've not said aught to me I could make sense of, but perhaps you'll have better luck.&quot;<br /> <br /> &gt;l<br /> <br /> [The Broken Blade Tavern] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Thick fragrant rushes on the floor, large comfortable rooms, clean tables and the broadest selection of ales in the province explain why the Broken Blade is famed for both its hospitality and the brewing skills of its proprietor, Amechra Tushise. Weary off-duty guards sit swapping stories and mild insults over a pitcher of Amechra's finest at the far end of the immense bar while, at nearby tables, traders ply local merchants with whiskey in an attempt to squeeze the last gold dokora from their contracts. You also see some stairs, a doorway, Amechra and a menu. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Also here: Black Widow Ophiliah, Ershta Zehira who is covered with whitened ridges, Sophister Deatly who is protected by a bright candlelight barrier and Natural Assassin Parned who is sitting. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Obvious exits: none.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a thin silver cigarillo case from atop the bar.<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her case on the bar.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a thin silver cigarillo case from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> You say to Deatly, &quot;Ye are a Moon Mage, I take it.

The fabric's motion casts ghostly shadows across the already gloomy moonsilver, further highlighting the gold inclusions within the scoundrel's diamonds and the vivid blood-red vengeance rubies.<br /> <br /> Zehira raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Evening, love.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her case in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a diminutive tin magma viper from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Zehira points her tin viper at a long white cigarillo and a flame shoots from the creature's mouth, making the cigarillo quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> Zehira puts her viper in her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Deatly raises his arm skyward, chanting.<br /> <br /> Zehira nods to you.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;We've never been introduced, but I imagine I know your name. I am called Dioe. Well met.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says to you, &quot;I am just that...though I am relearning my skills.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales, opening her eyes as wide as she can. Though hardly any smoke can be seen, the fragrance is clearly evident, evoking a sense of wonderment with the natural world. The heavenly scent of fresh white rose emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a simple, inspirational aroma.<br /> <br /> You grin at Deatly.<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;In my thoughts.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;{dioe I imagine everyone knows my name, and Dioe. I will try and remember.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah asks, &quot;Did you offer to mud wrestle parned?&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Parned snickers.<br /> <br /> Zehira gets a cup of rosehip tea from inside her leather carryall.<br /> <br /> Lazy curls of smoke drift off of Zehira's white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Zehira shows Parned her rosehip tea.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;I have my own.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Aye, and if I have my way, ye won't have to try hard.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales, opening her eyes as wide as she can. Though hardly any smoke can be seen, the fragrance is clearly evident, evoking a sense of wonderment with the natural world. The heavenly scent of fresh white rose emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a simple, inspirational aroma.<br /> <br /> Parned swears, &quot;I will protect these lands from sand to sea.&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> Playfully darting around Zehira, an itsy-bitsy pixie brandishing a vial of violaceous glitter peeks out from behind her left forearm.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;Bold.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah nods to Zehira.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Evening.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales, opening her eyes as wide as she can. Though hardly any smoke can be seen, the fragrance is clearly evident, evoking a sense of wonderment with the natural world. The heavenly scent of fresh white rose emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a simple, inspirational aroma.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah stands up.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Boldness is not a quality I lack, yet it's something more... fate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to Ophiliah in a Velakan accent, &quot;Hello.&quot;<br /> <br /> Raising her Piet's Wicked Ale to Zehira, Ophiliah gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> You lower the Ale and place it on the ground at your feet.<br /> <br /> You get a whiskey-laced cigar from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You get a small golden crocodile from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You quickly flick the switch on the back of the crocodile, pointing it at a whiskey-laced cigar as flames shoot out the creature's mouth, making the cigar quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> You put your crocodile in your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You pick up the Ale lying at your feet.<br /> <br /> You take a long drag off of a burning whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Smoke rolls from between your lips, building a depiction of a proud brigantine ship. One by one, the sails drop open from the yardarms, billow with wind and the ship sails off over the waves. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> Deatly shakes his head.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;We will see.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira smiles at Ophiliah, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> Tiny puffs of smoke rise from your whiskey-laced cigar as it burns.<br /> <br /> An image of a sailing brigantine ship dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Ye will. Count on it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira laughs!<br /> <br /> Zehira stares fixedly at her tutu dress, studying it intently.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;I prefer cold coin and a well placed shot over trusting in fate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira carefully adjusts the fit of her tutu dress, making sure the fabric falls perfectly into place.<br /> <br /> Parned chuckles.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah smirks.<br /> <br /> Zehira's white cigarillo glows faintly as it burns down.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Zehira casually flicks some ashes off the end of her white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> Parned takes a sip of his Ale.<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales, opening her eyes as wide as she can. Though hardly any smoke can be seen, the fragrance is clearly evident, evoking a sense of wonderment with the natural world. The heavenly scent of fresh white rose emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a simple, inspirational aroma.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;It's not trust, mate oh no. No manner of faith moves an elf to his destiny. It is will.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> Deatly asks, &quot;So I shouldn't keep the coins I give you in my pocket?&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> Ophiliah ponders buffet or bar ...bar<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Fair....ones will can overcome anything if properly motivated.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Deatly, &quot;Ye may find your pockets filled with coins, depending on your choices here tonight.&quot;<br /> <br /> You nod to Parned.<br /> <br /> Deatly nods.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;Aye.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;I enjoy the jingle of a coin, but not as much as the knowledge of the moons and what they bestow upon me.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Deatly, &quot;Knowledge is power, mate, but coin don't hurt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Death's Shadow Moriora came through a doorway.<br /> <br /> You grin at Deatly.<br /> <br /> Moriora cocks her head.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;I enjoy the freedom coin gives me to pursue my interests. bribes to guards and judges is expensive.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ophiliah nods to Moriora.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a long drag off of a burning white cigarillo.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Parned nods to Moriora.<br /> <br /> The shadows encircling the hems of Moriora's pants writhe, and for the briefest of moments the image of a stylized figure drawing forth a small, sharp-edged object is seen within the shifting greys and blacks before they meld back into the larger amorphous darkness once more.<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;Don't forget though, power is power.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira exhales, opening her eyes as wide as she can. Though hardly any smoke can be seen, the fragrance is clearly evident, evoking a sense of wonderment with the natural world. The heavenly scent of fresh white rose emanates from the cigarillo as fragile tendrils fill the air with a simple, inspirational aroma.<br /> <br /> Zehira takes a sip of her tea.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;Aye. Though that coin deserves to be spent as ye wish, rather than greasing the palms of parasites, as I see it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Can't disagree, love. Power is power - but it's deceptive, elusive, ever changing. Few understand it, for it is not merely force.&quot;<br /> <br /> &gt;look Moriora<br /> <br /> You see Death's Shadow Moriora, an Elf. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Moriora has a radiant complexion, pointed ears, long wispy lashes framing twilight purple eyes and rosebud lips accented by faint dimples. Her shimmery black-cherry hair is very long and has large glossy curls. She has flawless ivory skin and a voluptuous figure. &lt;br&gt;<br /> She is perfectly petite for an Elf. &lt;br&gt;<br /> She appears to be an adult. &lt;br&gt;<br /> A champagne-hued eldring artlessly faceted in an upside-down teardrop sits between her eyes. It is attached to a slender wire of icesteel that holds more of the tiny gems as they arch gracefully over her eyebrows. &lt;br&gt;<br /> She has a tattoo of skulls of all sizes and varieties atop a bed of striated twilight purple hex lilies. Garish grins and empty eye sockets gaze out with apathetic indifference, beginning at her shoulder before winding around the elbow and forearm. Lily leaves bleed forward spelling out &quot;Death is Beautiful&quot; in black ink where the tattoo terminates on her wrist. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> She is in good shape. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> She is wearing a starry black quiver stamped with a golden key, a lumium ring helm, a gold jadeite gwethdesuan, a tinted monocle, a pair of Elven silver earstuds, a light vardite plate mask, a hexagonal cambrinth prism suspended from a long electrum chain, a prismatic glass medallion, an intricate tyrium hand suspended from a cord of darkly glistening spidersilk, a dark green gardener's apron studded with bronze rivets, a pale cream steelsilk crafter's apron, a pale cream steelsilk crafter's apron, a tiny glass bottle, a kaleidoscopic sanowret crystal set in a tomiek wildling spider, a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame, an arrangement of eldrings inlaid in icesteel, a striped red haversack with a gold-buckled shoulder strap, a patchwork traveling bag with a thick braided handle and button closure, an amber duffel bag, a midnight-purple dergatine backpack embroidered with tiny darting shrike figures, a faded muslin backpack clasped with an agonite gargoyle medallion, an abyssal black robe composed of tattered deathfiber, a modest blouse, a faded red farmer's shirt, a sleek bear-hide lootpouch fastened with a haralun leviathan, some vykathi tibia elbow blades, a small morgawr-scale shield sealed with protective wax, a simple mistwood basket woven with gingham ribbons, a dainty white wrist purse composed of kirmiko, a filigree bracer of silversteel cobwebs, a demonbone armguard made of thin strips of bone, some bloodvine thorn handwraps, some lumium scale gloves, a sturdy blackened iron band stamped with a crest, a gleaming viper ring with dark ruby chips for eyes, an ornate alerce ring, some asini zills etched with a bat-eared puppy, a sturdy blackened iron band stamped with a crest, a polished ebony pillbox with a fine silver chain, an amber-eyed dusky blue glaes taipan charm, a segmented berry-stained purse with beaded drawstrings, an icy-blue satinwood spellbook case inset with gleaming sapphire frost scythes, a small sack, a light spidersilk hip pouch stitched with a dragon ouroboros, a dark gem pouch, a finely honed belt knife, a tapered agonite skinning knife punched with a flying raven, a polished uthamar lockpick ring stamped with a scythe, some dark red pants with writhing shadows encircling the hems, some platinum mail greaves embellished with rose-hued ribbons, an abyssal black thigh bag, some razor-edged demonbone knee spikes, some poloh'izh hide footwraps and some beaded mauve velvet slippers.<br /> <br /> You glance at Moriora, a female Elf.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;It is all those things, but I&quot;ve seen it up close and personal.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask Zehira, &quot;Ye speak of the Islander, perhaps, or the powers he calls upon?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Both. I&quot;ve seen it from both.&quot;<br /> <br /> A light haze of smoke wafts off your whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly asks in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Islander?&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly asks Parned, &quot;One from an island?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;I doubt it not, yet that power is restricted in ways that cannot be ignored.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;Yes, one from an island.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira smiles at Deatly, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Moriora raises an eyebrow.<br /> <br /> Moriora leans against the bar.<br /> <br /> Deatly nods.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;The freest among us is more powerful than a mighty being that is held at bay.&quot;<br /> <br /> (Dioe's gaze passes again to Moriora.)<br /> <br /> You ask Moriora, &quot;Evening, lass. They call me, Dioe. May I ask your name?&quot;<br /> <br /> Moriora says to you, &quot;I am Moriora.&quot;<br /> <br /> Moriora nods politely.<br /> <br /> You smile at Moriora.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Those who hold the power are always the most satisfying prey.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Moriora, &quot;And quite beautiful. I assume you know this woman, yet ye seem unafraid...&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly asks Parned, &quot;Do you eat your prey?&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture at Zehira.<br /> <br /> Moriora says to you, &quot;I know of her.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned smiles at Deatly.<br /> <br /> You nod at Parned, in complete agreement with his views.<br /> <br /> Moriora nods to you.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;Ye speak the truth.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says to you in a Velakan accent, &quot;I told you, everyone knows me..or of me.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;It's a curse.&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Parned coldly asks Deatly in a S'Kra accent, &quot;What else is prey for than to be devoured?&quot;<br /> <br /> You laughingly ask Zehira, &quot;A curse!?&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly looks at Parned and shrugs.<br /> <br /> You exclaim to Zehira, &quot;'Tis a blessing! And one you stole from the gods with your own strength and will!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira winks at you.<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;Never let anyone tell ye it's a curse.&quot;<br /> <br /> Tiny puffs of smoke rise from your whiskey-laced cigar as it burns.<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> You finish off the rest of it, and set the mug aside.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly says in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Only one here I know is the crazy mage there.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;I know what I am, not everyone agrees and not everyone likes it but here I am still. I'll show them all just how much of a blessing I can be.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned points at Deatly.<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;The moons know everyone.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;Your words have inspired me, mate, and I find myself in such fine company, I hope I can impose on the patience of those whom fate has summoned here tonight.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;Yes.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;I am what they call.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;The Looney Mooney.&quot;<br /> <br /> You grin at Deatly.<br /> <br /> &gt;order 1<br /> <br /> Amechra slides a pint of Amechra's Own Ale across the bar. You pay him 60 copper dokoras for it.<br /> <br /> You get a pint of Amechra's Own Ale from atop the bar.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the Ale. It tickles your tongue and throat with its effervescence!<br /> <br /> Moriora says, &quot;I wandered in for what I expected to be an empty bar, but this will do fine as well.&quot;<br /> <br /> Moriora leans against the bar.<br /> <br /> You chuckle at Moriora.<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Theres booe too.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Moriora, &quot;Ye are brave indeed.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Some of ye I know.

I aim to have a wonderful time that few will forget.&quot;<br /> <br /> Glancing at her woven girdle with an expression of dismay, Ophiliah quickly flicks a dirt speck from her woven girdle.<br /> <br /> Parned coldly asks in a S'Kra accent, &quot;Will the prey be worthy or just some of the rabble?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zehira, &quot;We shall see. Long have those in power bled their people, caring nothing for their lives. It is time to shake their thrones.&quot;<br /> <br /> Parned takes a sip of his Ale.<br /> <br /> You say to Parned, &quot;The unworthy will fall quickly.

I will fight to the death. They may overpower me, but time is on my side.&quot;<br /> <br /> Deatly says, &quot;I may not be the best at the fighting yet, but as I learn my skills again I shall help travel when I can.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile at Deatly.<br /> <br /> Zehira says in a Velakan accent, &quot;I&quot;m willing to make others bleed, I do hate getting dirty, just ask Zithri, but I know my way around a blade or two.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zehira twitches several times as the ridges encompassing her form recede and vanish.<br /> <br /> Deatly laughs!<br /> <br /> Ophiliah says, &quot;Im not ooppsed to going down fighting.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Deatly, &quot;Thank you, mate.

I was not logging training, so the initial words here are lost.]<br /> <br /> A torrent of sizzling, bile-green acid sprays outward from Zfora!<br /> <br /> You ask, &quot;Do I?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;You mentioned you had walked away from your little accident...&quot;<br /> <br /> A torrent of sizzling, bile-green acid sprays outward from Zfora!<br /> <br /> The wave directly blasts into a young wyvern's scaly chest, destroying the majority of the torso as it does so. All that remains is a bleached center of a skeleton that clatters to the ground.<br /> <br /> A young wyvern squeals in pain and thrashes its leathery-black wings about its frail body, before falling silent with a final desperate trill.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;And yet I've never seen you use a trans spell.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask, &quot;Oh?&quot;<br /> <br /> You get a blade-bone skull inset with demon gaze agate eyes from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Manifest Force.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Calcified Hide spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> Zfora nods to you.<br /> <br /> You ask, &quot;Ye don't believe I can use true arcane magic, and ye mean to test me?&quot;<br /> <br /> Your blade-bone skull vibrates slightly as the spell pattern you were tracing with it completes.<br /> <br /> You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.<br /> <br /> &gt;cast<br /> <br /> You hold out your arms to either side as you prepare to focus mutation through your entire being.<br /> <br /> You shudder involuntarily as streams of black energy slide back up across your arms from your fingertips before arcing along your entire body.<br /> <br /> A brief mixture of pain and euphoria surges through you as whitened ridges rise up from beneath your skin all across your limbs and torso, strengthening your body's ability to absorb damage.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Kura-Silma spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> Zfora sweetly says, &quot;It would be so kind of you to humor me for a moment.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> The air around you shimmers with a weak yellow light that quickly disperses.<br /> <br /> The air around you shimmers with a blinding yellow luminescence. The scintillating light writhes and twists, abruptly coalescing into a translucent field before blinking out of sight.<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Obfuscation.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Not being an elf of faith, I'm happy to humor you.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> Your eye feels swollen and heavy as an infinitesimal eddy of mutation twists inside, sowing it with many delicate cyst-buds.<br /> <br /> A cluster of conjured cysts burst open in your eye, around the pupil. Despite the soreness when blinking, you begin to view the world through pleasingly stretched and skewed angles.<br /> <br /> The cysts swim across your vision, dipping into Arcane mana to draw watercolor-esque signs of the Great Work for your eyes alone.<br /> <br /> Zfora smiles at you.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Ye notice a spell or two you recognize.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;Thank you Dioe, I'm so happy I don't have to hate you - yet.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> You project around yourself a field that suggests total normalcy to any who view you, drawing some measure of attention away from you and making it easier to conceal yourself.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;I am a liar, so ye should get used to it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;Not uncommon in the crowds we frequent...&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Aye, but I warn ye now, ye should not trust me.&quot;<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Researcher's Insight.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Ivory Mask spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;Oh, I don't.&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> Color leeches from the skin on your face as you feel the bone structure underneath shift to accomodate changes on the inside of your skull. Crippling pain and nausea give way to euphoria as your mutation takes hold and the aetheric structure of the plane becomes visible in a blood haze.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;And I have much to learn when it comes to arcane magic, but I learn quickly.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora asks, &quot;I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Aye.&quot;<br /> <br /> Closing your eyes, you carefully bend some mana streams through the tattoo on your leg.<br /> <br /> The saturated tunnels in the tattoo form the foundation of a spell pattern. With this template in place, you begin preparing the Sure Footing spell.<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> A smoky film of grey mist exudes from your palms as you draw them close to your face. Breathing in deeply, you immediately feel a thrill of euphoria. Your mind is opened up, new thoughts and insights forming that were previously beyond your grasp.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;I find that it's all fun and games until someone dies.&quot;<br /> <br /> You ask, &quot;Does it stop then when someone dies? Is that something that hold ye back?&quot;<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> You feel steadier.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;Oh honey, nothing holds me back...&quot;<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Call from Within.<br /> <br /> You get an acid-washed chunk of ape material from inside your leather haversack.<br /> <br /> You gesture.<br /> <br /> Caustic violet green lights ensheathe an acid-washed chunk of ape material as it leaps restlessly from your hand. Arrested in mid-fall, the gleaming, well-cleaned bones swirl down and begin to rebuild themselves. Amidst a loud but ordered clatter, ligaments grow over the new connections, soon giving shape to a small, long-bodied beast with a thicket of limbs.<br /> <br /> In a flurry of legs and a ripple of its segmented back, the skeletal centipede drops to the ground at your feet. One end of it quests upward, jointed mouthparts gaping at you, before it runs off into the shadows with a rustle.<br /> <br /> An acid-green skeletal centipede with an elongated body fires a bone spine at a young wyvern. The spine lands a light hit to its back!<br /> <br /> An acid-green skeletal centipede with an elongated body fires a bone spine at a young wyvern. The spine lands a good strike to its left leg!<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;So I hear.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora nods to you.<br /> <br /> Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Quicken the Earth spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.<br /> <br /> You begin channeling mana through your blade-bone skull, forming the spell pattern of Call from Beyond.<br /> <br /> &gt;look<br /> <br /> [Wyvern Mountain, Breeding Grounds] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Several large stones are arranged in a circle, marking the site of an abandoned wyvern nest. Fragments of eggshells are still visible within, scattered and broken with the hatchlings long gone. Pointed peaks rise from various points in the breeding grounds, creating natural perches from which the wyverns can survey their young. You also see an acid-green skeletal centipede with an elongated body, a young wyvern, a young wyvern which appears dead and a young wyvern that appears stunned. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Also here: Zfora who is covered with whitened ridges. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Obvious paths: northeast, south, southwest.<br /> <br /> You bend over the wyvern's corpse to make one long, continuous cut with your ritual knife that just barely pierces into it. Unseen energies seep into the creature's fluids, suspending the corpse in unnatural stasis for a time. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 4 sec.<br /> <br /> You kneel over the wyvern's corpse and carefully carve a ritual design across a handspan of its body. You stand up satisfied that you have prepared it to arise as one of the undead. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 10 sec.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;I hope you're at least not lying about being a quick study Dioe. It would be delightful if you prove to be interesting.&quot;<br /> <br /> Your skeletal centipede directs an insidious assault at a young wyvern.<br /> <br /> A cacophonous keening wail erupts as a young wyvern's body is quickly quartered through the scaly back by some invisible slashing force. Each chunk of the now lifeless body falls with wet thuds to the ground as blood quickly stains the area around them.<br /> <br /> Zfora says, &quot;I shall leave you to your training, take care.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Time will tell, and time is on my side.&quot;<br /> <br /> You draw a slight cut across your palm in ritualized fashion, drawing forth a small but useful amount of blood without any real injury. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 3 sec.<br /> <br /> From out of thin air you say, &quot;Farewell.&quot;<br /> <br /> You reveal yourself.<br /> <br /> Disregarding the pain, you grind the dirt brutally into the palm of your hand, blood and soil forming a viscous paste.<br /> <br /> The gritty colloid smearing your skin sears with flaring heat! Just as the smell of burning flesh begins to assault your senses, a coral-red cloud billows forth from your grasp. You clench your fist and the swirling torrent of particles responds, coalescing into an immense humanoid construct of sodden loam.<br /> <br /> Abruptly the exterior of the being solidifies into a rocky shell, trapping a smattering of liquid on the outside. The viscous fluid runs labyrinthine trails down the front of the creature before being reabsorbed by its skin. Its head mechanically snaps up and it immediately scans the area for targets. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 1 sec.<br /> <br /> The dirt construct begins to advance on a young wyvern.<br /> <br /> You feel a slight pressure behind the eyes as a swell of arcane energy builds within you. Directing the flow along ritual lines cut in the body of the wyvern, you connect each essential node in turn. Abruptly the power surges forth, a dam bursting as wild torrents stream into the body! You siphon off a small amount of the energy and direct it into reconstructing damaged tissue, the wyvern's flesh knitting together before your eyes. The creature's recumbent form jerks once and then, as if awakening from slumber, its eyes snap open. Flexing with newfound strength, an arisen wyvern zombie levers itself upright and awaits your command.<br /> <br /> &gt;look<br /> <br /> [Wyvern Mountain, Breeding Grounds] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Several large stones are arranged in a circle, marking the site of an abandoned wyvern nest.

We don't harass people. We don't engage with people who don't want to engage with us. We don't complain about dying or losing. We don't let people grief or otherwise ruin the experience of playing our characters within the DR policy.<br /> <br /> = FAQ =<br /> 1. Can I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 2. Why aren't you all PvP open?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives. We want to engage with you in ways you find fun including consensual PvP, but some of us prefer not to engage in perpetual PvP conflict.

We don't harass people. We don't engage with people who don't want to engage with us. We don't complain about dying or losing. We don't let people grief or otherwise ruin the experience of playing our characters within the DR policy.<br /> <br /> = FAQ =<br /> 1. Can I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 2. Why aren't you all PvP open?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives.

We always abide by DR policy regarding PvP, and engage with everyone in good faith.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 3. Can I spy on your organization?&lt;br&gt;<br /> Yes, from outside the group, certainly. If you wanted to join and spy, we'd want to know that this was your intention OOCly, and we'd probably want to have a sense of your general story arc. We don't really want someone who is going to perpetually work against the group or expose all our plans and expect us never to catch on. Surprises and mystery are fun, and we want to preserve that.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 4. Do I have to salute or kneel or bow to anyone if I join?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. The actual organization is OOC. How you manage power structures in game is totally up to you, but the general idea is that members of FOE lead a collective of like minded people to undertake certain actions together for their own reasons. If you want to play a subordinate to another character, that's most welcome, but completely unnecessary.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 5.

Can I join you and get revenge on Team Good?&lt;br&gt;<br /> No. We're not a gang that protects its own. We focused on fun RP, and that will often mean our characters get thwarted for doing shady things. We fight together as a team sometimes, but if you have an &quot;us vs them&quot; mentality, and are looking for people to win in PvP against your enemies, this is not the group for you.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> 7.

With a pleasant nod in your direction, she hurries back to work.<br /> <br /> Amailia says, &quot;Greetings.&quot;<br /> <br /> You see Desert Blossom Zersha, an Elf.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Zersha has an aristocratic face with delicate features, pointed ears, some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her starry midnight-blue eyes, a small nose and dimples pierced by a perfectly matched pair of whirl-cut rainbow sapphires. Her dark chocolate hair is long and thick with both sides shaved at the temple, and is worn in a youthful style with some radiant rainbow-hued primrose blossoms sprinkled with glistening glitter wound around the head to secure it. She has warm caramel-hued skin and an a branching pair of sungold wings twined in crystalline dewberry brambles sweeping away from a spritely compact figure.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She is petite for an Elf.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She appears to be young.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Her forearm has a tattoo of a hazy rainbow melting at one end into a colorfully glittering pool.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She is in good shape.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a fragile cloak of dappled dewberry vines sprouting brightly petalled rainbow roses, a whimsical kelp linen sundress dyed to resemble a prismatic rainbow, a branching Ilithian cedar thighband bearing Ilithic apple blue rainbow sapphires, a haphazard array of belled icesteel anklets sprinkled with rainbow sapphires and a pair of white alerce sandals with spun rainbow straps.<br /> <br /> Stelling grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha, &quot;They call me Dioe, m'lady. And you are?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling gazes thoughtfully at you.<br /> <br /> Zersha smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to you in Ilithic, &quot;I'm Zersha, it's lovely to meet you.&quot;<br /> <br /> [General] Your mind hears Amailia thinking, &quot;And for those new to the broadcast, ENN is the Elanthia News Network. Nice to meet you!&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar takes her rightful place beside Vaddon.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;The pleasure's mine, truly.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar smiles at Vaddon, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;I should probably speak common as we're not all Elves, pardon.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue.<br /> <br /> Fearless Crobin came through an open door.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar hugs Stelling, getting a smile in return.<br /> <br /> You chuckle.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Stelling hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Stelling with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Vaddon smiles.<br /> <br /> Stelling chuckles at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Crobin hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Crobin with a warm smile.<br /> <br /> Crobin pats Stelling on the back.<br /> <br /> Vaddon studies the faces around him.<br /> <br /> Zersha curtsies gracefully to Crobin.<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha, &quot;Are ye from the Crystal City?&quot;<br /> <br /> Crobin shakes Vaddon's hand.<br /> <br /> Crobin waves to Zersha.<br /> <br /> Crobin pats Hebion on the back.<br /> <br /> Crobin waves to Amailia.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to you, &quot;I make my home near there now, but I was born in the desert.&quot;<br /> <br /> You get a silverwillow picnic basket festooned with a riot of colorful blossoms from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Amailia waves to Crobin.<br /> <br /> Crobin nods to you.<br /> <br /> Vaddon smiles at Crobin.<br /> <br /> You pull a broad picnic cloth dyed with a vibrant array of blossoms out of your picnic basket, setting the basket aside as you spread the cloth out on the ground.<br /> <br /> You say to Crobin, &quot;Welcome, mate.

A tall flagon of Theren Imperial stout appears in his left hand!<br /> <br /> Sofina leans over and scratches Zersha's back.<br /> <br /> Stelling puts his wand in his supply bag.<br /> <br /> Stelling takes a sip of his stout.<br /> <br /> Sothios asks, &quot;Not sure but...maybe?&quot;<br /> <br /> Sothios nods to Zynell.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar smiles at Vaddon, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar looks at Vaddon and applauds!<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;And if any others wish to share a tale, ye may whisper to me, if ye wish an introduction, or at the conclusion of my tale, simply spin yer own.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar snickers.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar tickles Vaddon, grinning mischievously.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the bourbon.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.<br /> <br /> You clear your throat.<br /> <br /> Sofina nods to Zersha.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;There was once a merchant sailor named Allison, a woman who'd sooner weigh her purse than her soul, and a ship's cleric by the name o' Father Aldric, a pious sort who swore blind that the gods rewarded obedience and punished the negligent.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zynell gives Sothios some coins.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;They sailed aboard the Maiden's Mercy, though Allison always said the ship had little mercy for the pockets of the crew, what with its cruel hold on wages.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zynell leans back against Sothios with a loving smile.<br /> <br /> Traim takes a sip of his whiskey.<br /> <br /> Elore sits down on the keg.<br /> <br /> Sothios smiles at Zynell.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Elore, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Now, one evening, they made port in Asery, a city famed for its grand Halasa Temple, and Father Aldric, keen to prove his gods' favor, bet Allison a gold lirum that one who gave freely to the gods would see their kindness repaid.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Zersha cocks her head at you.<br /> <br /> Stelling gazes thoughtfully at you.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Allison, sniffing out an easy bit o' sport, took the wager.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore leans forward and rests her chin in her hand and directs a thoughtful expression at you.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Elore, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> The Gold Crown tobacco in Traim's long pipe goes out and crumbles away.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Aldric strode up to the temple, kissed his coin for luck, and laid it upon the altar with a prayer.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra gazes at you.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;He turned to Allison, full of righteous delight. &quot;Now,&quot; says he, &quot;I shall wait in prayer, and the gods shall see me well rewarded.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Hebion.<br /> <br /> Zersha takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> Sofina grins at Zfora.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Allison, never one to let a chance slip by, took herself down to Denison's Pub, where she spent her own gold lirum on a pint of fine rum and a round for the house.&quot;<br /> <br /> Hebion rests his hand on Zersha's arm with a soft smile.<br /> <br /> Zfora smiles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Stelling nods in agreement.<br /> <br /> Elore quietly says, &quot;I was totally kidding by the way she didn't say anything mean.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina cowers away from Zfora!<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Drink up, lads and lasses,&quot; says she, &quot;for the gods help them as help themselves!&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Elore, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br /> <br /> Zersha pulls Sofina to her in a tight hug.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;As the night wore on, Allison found herself in merry company, and lo! A fat-bellied merchant, well in his cups, took a liking to her tales and, feeling generous, pressed one hundred platinum lirums into her hand - &quot;for a woman who knows how to live!&quot;<br /> <br /> Traim gets some black rum tobacco from inside a hand carved dragonwood cigar box.<br /> <br /> Traim puts his tobacco in his long pipe.<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Sofina gives Elore a gentle poke in the ribs.<br /> <br /> Traim gets a leering dragon skull carved from bone with a snarling maw of mistglass fangs from inside his encompassing shadows.<br /> <br /> Traim points his dragon skull at some black rum tobacco and a flame shoots from the creature's mouth, making the tobacco quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> Siendra grins.<br /> <br /> Sofina says to Elore, &quot;I'd never be mean to you.&quot;<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Come morning, Allison sauntered back to the temple, where Father Aldric sat hungry and shivering, for the gods had yet to fill his cup. Allison jingled her newfound platinums.&quot;<br /> <br /> Traim puts his skull in his encompassing shadows.<br /> <br /> Zersha tilts her head, clearly curious about something.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;The gods work in mysterious ways, Father,&quot; said Allison. &quot;You gave 'em a gold, and they saw fit to reward me with plats!&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina stretches her arms.<br /> <br /> Zfora says to Sofina in Ilithic, &quot;Only to her boyfriends.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> Stelling chuckles to himself.<br /> <br /> Zersha bursts out in laughter, snorting wine through her nose.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And so it was that the pious man waited in vain, while the rogue, for all her sins, drank deep and slept warm.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha covers her mouth with her hand.<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says, &quot;Ouchie.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling takes a sip of his stout.<br /> <br /> Sofina snickers.<br /> <br /> Zersha rubs her nose.<br /> <br /> Sofina nods to Zfora.<br /> <br /> Siendra pats Zersha on the back.<br /> <br /> You bow.<br /> <br /> Zfora takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> Stelling says, &quot;Seems appropriate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar raises her voice in merry laughter.<br /> <br /> Stelling nods in agreement.<br /> <br /> Raising his Imperial stout to you, Stelling gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Sofina says to Zfora in Ilithic, &quot;Only because she wouldnt date me.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile.<br /> <br /> Raising her Rissan brandy to you, Siendra gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Traim takes a long drag off of his long pipe.<br /> <br /> Siendra takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar says, &quot;Seems about right.&quot;<br /> <br /> In rapid succession, Traim puffs out a series of lines that form an unfinished web. A smoky spider on the edge of the web quickly completes it, then crawls to the center awaiting its prey.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar nods to Sofina.<br /> <br /> Raising his darkefire rum to you, Vaddon gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Zfora grins at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes thoughtfully at you.<br /> <br /> An image of a spider web dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> You ask, &quot;Ye are kind. Are there any others who've a tale to share?&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina asks Zalinyar in Ilithic, &quot;I'm in high demand throughout the lands, didnt you know?&quot;<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the bourbon. Containing a seamless blend of cherry and cardamom, the fiery heat of this fine bourbon lingers on the palate for you to savor.<br /> <br /> Traim grins at Crobin.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar chuckles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Siendra nibbles on her fingers contemplatively.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;I could share one of my 'Ahneya's Tales.' I have a piratey one even...&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar slyly says to Sofina, &quot;So I've heard.&quot;<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Raising his Imperial stout to Zersha, Stelling gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Crobin chuckles.<br /> <br /> Zfora smirks.<br /> <br /> Elore says, &quot;The pirate one, please.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling says, &quot;An Ahneya tale is always fun.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ezathiel praises Zersha.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Sofina ponders.<br /> <br /> You ask Zersha, &quot;Piratey? They're dangerous, are they not, m'lady?&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says in Ilithic, &quot;I have many tales involving a Gnome.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Sofina rubs her hands together.<br /> <br /> Zersha asks, &quot;Why don't we let the tale tell us?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Aye.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore grins.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the bourbon. Containing a seamless blend of cherry and cardamom, the fiery heat of this fine bourbon lingers on the palate for you to savor.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;When I was little, my sister, Ahneya, used to tell me all sorts of stories. I've dubbed this one, 'Sir Severe and the Pirates of the Reshal Sea'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> Elore bounces from where she is sitting!<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Sir Severe was a Paladin of unwavering principle, known for his unyielding devotion to order and justice. His armor gleamed like the first light of dawn, and his gaze was as sharp as his imposing spear. When word spread of a peculiar band of pirates terrorizing merchant ships along the Reshal Sea, Sir Severe took up his spear and set sail, ready to bring justice to lawless waters.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha hums happily to herself.<br /> <br /> Hebion frowns, shaking his head with an expression of exasperation before resting his face in the palm of his hand.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar holds her hand out towards Sothios for a highfive.<br /> <br /> Crobin leans on Sothios.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Hebion.<br /> <br /> Zersha slowly says, &quot;But the reports were...odd.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sothios and Zalinyar highfive each other.<br /> <br /> Traim gazes at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Siendra whispers, &quot;I have a tale, good sir, although it's a bit more sing-songy. If that's alright?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha asks, &quot;These pirates were not stealing gold, jewels, or weapons. No ships had been burned, no sailors harmed. The only thing missing from the cargo manifests?&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore leans over and whispers, [redacted].<br /> <br /> Elore grins at you.<br /> <br /> Elore pats a keg.<br /> <br /> Zersha seriously says, &quot;Pies.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles a little oddly.<br /> <br /> You whisper to Siendra, &quot;We would love to hear it, lass.&quot;<br /> <br /> Traim snickers.<br /> <br /> Zersha takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;The latest victim, a well-known baker from Ratha, claimed that her entire shipment of honeyed tarts, spiced berry pies, and glazed pastries had been plundered in the night. 'Savages, they are!' she cried. 'Took every last crumb but left my flour and sugar untouched! Who does that?'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore gasps at Zersha!<br /> <br /> You sit down near Elore.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Elore, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;It's quite rude really, pies of all things.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore nods in agreement.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Sir Severe intended to find out.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling gets a deep-fried pocket pie stuffed with Ilithi peaches and sprinkled with cinnamon from inside his supply bag.<br /> <br /> Sofina nods to Siendra.<br /> <br /> You whisper to Elore, [redacted].<br /> <br /> Stelling takes a bite of the pie.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Under the glow of Katamba's darkened crescent, the pirates struck again. A ship with tattered sails and a flag bearing the image of a grinning rat wielding a fork appeared on the horizon. The *Pie Rats* had come.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha flashes a wide grin.<br /> <br /> Sofina grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Zersha winks at Sofina.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;As the pirates swarmed the deck, Sir Severe stood firm. They were an odd crew - wielding wooden spoons, rolling pins, and even an oversized whisk. At their head stood a Halfling with an eyepatch, a flour-dusted apron, and a saber tucked into his belt.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar giggles.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;'Ahoy, knight!' the Halfling bellowed. 'I be Captain Rumbutter, scourge of the sugar-hoarders!'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Vaddon says, &quot;Quite animated.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar grins at Vaddon, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Vaerek grins.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar nods to Vaddon.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Sir Severe's voice rang clear. 'You stand accused of piracy, theft, and disruption of trade. Surrender, or face justice.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zfora takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> Siendra gazes at Zersha.<br /> <br /> You quietly say to yourself, &quot;Rumbutter... I shall use that.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at Siendra, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br /> <br /> Elore quietly says to Sothios, &quot;This is why I'm afraid to sail on my own.&quot;<br /> <br /> You jot down some notes.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Rumbutter scoffed and flourished a stolen cherry tart. 'Justice? Tell me, knight, what be just about nobles feasting on golden-crusted pastries while dockhands eat naught but stale biscuits? We don't steal for greed - we take what's needed and share it where it's scarce.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zynell says to Elore, &quot;We will take you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Traim takes a long drag off of his long pipe.<br /> <br /> Sothios laughs at Elore.<br /> <br /> Elore grins at Zynell.<br /> <br /> Zersha asks, &quot;Sir Severe hesitated. His order taught him that law and order were paramount, yet his heart told him justice was more than blind obedience. Could these so-called pirates be right? Were they criminals...or caretakers of the forgotten?&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore slowly empties her lungs.<br /> <br /> Zersha ponders.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Instead of drawing his spear, Sir Severe reached into his pack and pulled out a carefully wrapped bundle. Peeling back the cloth, he revealed a slice of warm blackberry pie.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Elore puts her whiskey in her backpack.<br /> <br /> Elore gets a sungrown cigar from inside her festive bag.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the bourbon.<br /> <br /> You finish off the rest of it, and set the flagon aside.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;'A Paladin's duty is not only to uphold the law but to serve the people,' he said. 'If you are feeding the hungry, let us strike a bargain'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br /> <br /> You move a stout glass of deep red wine to your right hand.<br /> <br /> You lower the wine and place it on the ground at your feet.<br /> <br /> You get a whiskey-laced cigar from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Zersha tilts her head, clearly curious about something.<br /> <br /> You get a small golden crocodile from inside your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Rumbutter's brow lifted. 'What kind of bargain?'.&quot;<br /> <br /> You quickly flick the switch on the back of the crocodile, pointing it at a whiskey-laced cigar as flames shoot out the creature's mouth, making the cigar quickly catch fire.<br /> <br /> You put your crocodile in your brown backpack.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;'There are merchants and bakers who could be convinced to set aside food for those in need. If I help arrange a fair distribution, you must promise to cease your raids.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar says, &quot;I like this story.&quot;<br /> <br /> You pick up the wine lying at your feet.<br /> <br /> Zfora grins at Sofina.<br /> <br /> You nod to Zalinyar.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;The Halfling considered the offer, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. 'Ye mean...legal pies?'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles.<br /> <br /> Elore leans forward.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;'Pies given freely,' Sir Severe confirmed. 'Not stolen. Justice demands balance.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods in agreement.<br /> <br /> Traim takes a long drag off of his long pipe.<br /> <br /> You take a long drag off of a burning whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Elore nods in agreement.<br /> <br /> You exhale a stream of smoke, which transforms into the image of a proud brigantine ship on the high seas.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Roundtime: 5 sec.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;After a long pause, Rumbutter broke into a grin. 'Aye, lad. I think we can work with that.'.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha beams!<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;And so, instead of a battle, Sir Severe and Captain Rumbutter sealed their truce the only way they could - by sharing a warm slice of pie beneath the stars.&quot;<br /> <br /> An image of a proud brigantine ship dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> Zersha clears her throat.<br /> <br /> Zfora nods to Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;From that day on, the *Pie Rats* transformed into the *Pie Right Foundation*, a respected organization dedicated to ensuring that no sailor, dockhand, or orphan went without a taste of something sweet. And Sir Severe, once known for his stern judgment, became forever remembered as the Paladin who made peace...with pie.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> Traim laughs!<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims, &quot;The End!&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra giggles.<br /> <br /> Zersha sinks into a deep curtsy.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Elore applauds.<br /> <br /> Siendra steps back and gazes at a snifter of Rissan brandy admiringly.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles.<br /> <br /> Raising his Imperial stout to Zersha, Stelling gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> You move a burning whiskey-laced cigar to your left hand.<br /> <br /> You move a stout glass of deep red wine to your right hand.<br /> <br /> Hebion looks at Zersha and applauds!<br /> <br /> Elore gets a smoked Bootlegger's bourbon cocktail garnished with an Ilithic cherry from inside her deathfiber carryall.<br /> <br /> Traim looks at Zersha and applauds!<br /> <br /> Raising her Rissan brandy to Zersha, Siendra gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Sofina looks at Zersha and applauds!<br /> <br /> Raising her bourbon cocktail to Zersha, Elore gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Raising your red wine to Zersha, you give her a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Raising her darkefire rum to Zersha, Zalinyar gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Zynell grins at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Raising his darkefire rum to Zersha, Vaddon gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Raising her Ain Ghazal red wine to Zersha, Zfora gives her a toast.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Vaerek grins.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.<br /> <br /> (Zersha beams out at everyone before returning to her spot.)<br /> <br /> Sofina asks Zersha in Ilithic, &quot;Do you moonlight as a Bard?&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar says to Zersha, &quot;Great story.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say to Zersha, &quot;A truly sweet tale, m'lady. Thank 'ee for sharing it.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims to Sofina, &quot;Only for the stories!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha winks at Sofina.<br /> <br /> Zersha beams at you! What a warm feeling!<br /> <br /> You puff on the whiskey-laced cigar.<br /> <br /> Zersha exclaims to you, &quot;Thank you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Zalinyar, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Zalinyar, &quot;Thank you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Vaerek says, &quot;Peace with pie by having a piece of pie sounds murderous.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha grins at Vaerek, her dimples flashing into view.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar praises Zersha.<br /> <br /> Sofina smirks.<br /> <br /> You say to Vaerek, &quot;'Tis no bad thing to eat pie when it's offered, mate. Plenty of murder to be found in the world.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra says to Zersha, &quot;Very cute story. I expected...much weirder, when you said Ahneya's name.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Too much murder...&quot;<br /> <br /> Traim nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br /> <br /> Stelling nods at Siendra, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> Zersha smiles at Siendra, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br /> <br /> Vaerek says to you, &quot;I shall murder my next piece of pie.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says to Siendra, &quot;Keep in mind that I was little when she started.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles.<br /> <br /> You throw back your head and roar with laughter!<br /> <br /> Stelling takes a bite of the pie.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Vaerek.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Vaerek, &quot;A man after my own heart.&quot;<br /> <br /> You exclaim to Vaerek, &quot;Aye! That's a fitting crime!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> You take a sip of the wine, savoring the full-bodied aroma of the vintage.<br /> <br /> You stand back up.<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Speaking of sweets.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Dont sell yourself short, murder someone eating pie.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina shrugs.<br /> <br /> Zersha gets a narrow tray of glossy mooncakes pressed with the image of an open lotus blossom from inside her beverage holster.<br /> <br /> Zfora takes a sip of her wine.<br /> <br /> Vaerek blinks at Sofina.<br /> <br /> (Dioe comes to stand before the company.)<br /> <br /> Zersha says, &quot;Not pie, but still yummy.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Traim takes a long drag off of his long pipe.<br /> <br /> Hebion chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> Zersha takes a tiny bite of a narrow tray of glossy mooncakes pressed with the image of an open lotus blossom and chews daintily on it.<br /> <br /> Ezathiel takes a sip of his wine.<br /> <br /> A puff of smoke rolls out of Traim's mouth, creating a picture of a forgotten gravestone with intertwined vines covering it.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Sofina, &quot;I could never! I'd just ask them to share.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina says, &quot;Not you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Sofina gives Zersha a gentle poke in the ribs.<br /> <br /> Zersha giggles at Sofina.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;We have another who has offered to share a tale with us.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Sofina, &quot;Not me? Carry on then.&quot;<br /> <br /> An image of a vine-covered, forgotten gravestone dissipates into the air.<br /> <br /> Zersha leans on Sofina.<br /> <br /> Sofina leans on Zersha.<br /> <br /> &gt;look siendra&lt;br&gt;<br /> You see Lady of Frostbite Siendra Vauns'Arotru, Frost Fang of Siksraja, a Rakash.&lt;br&gt;<br /> Siendra has a swirl of glittered snowflakes painted on each cheek, a single snow violet tinged with purple that rests behind one of her ears, thick-lashed speckled seafoam-green eyes and a freckled nose. Her silver-streaked dark brown hair is long and wavy, and is worn in a deceptively careless-looking arrangement of upswept locks held in place by a dainty circlet of Siksrajan apple blossoms and kuwinite strewn with ruby shards. She has warm caramel-hued skin and a slender figure.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She appears to be mature.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She has a tattoo of a water elemental staring with iridescent eyes on her hand.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She is in good shape.<br /> <br /> She is holding a snifter of Rissan brandy in her right hand.&lt;br&gt;<br /> She is wearing an exquisite pale blue snowdrop tiara, a glacial blue winterweave sochi lined with snowy white frost opal icesilk, a white silk robe shot through with ice blue threads, an apple blossom charm, a grey leather armband adorned with onyx carvings, a delicate silver bracelet dangling a sculpted water droplet and a pair of cerulean raw silk vikses bearing elaborately embroidered cuffs.<br /> <br /> Sofina chews on Zersha's shoulder.

She saw Rafe's game plain as the Heralds in the sky, but she had long grown weary of a husband who admired his own reflection more than his wife.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes upward.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And so, over whispered words and knowing smiles, she proposed a trick of her own.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar chuckles.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;That night, Rafe left a letter on the lord's desk, a tale of false maps and vanishing treasure - of an island where riches lay beneath a ruined temple, but only on the stroke of midnight when all three moons filled the sky.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar rubs her hands together.<br /> <br /> Crobin gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br /> <br /> Zalinyar quietly says to Leayne, &quot;My kind of lady.&quot;<br /> <br /> Vaddon glances at Zalinyar.<br /> <br /> Leayne nods to Zalinyar.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;The time when Xibar, Yavash and Katamba would fill the night sky was a few andaen off, and the journey would take just that long.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore grins at Zalinyar.<br /> <br /> Vaddon quietly asks Crobin, &quot;Should I be worried?&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;Greedy and proud, Lord Gavain leapt aboard his swiftest ship and set sail at once, leaving his manor and all within it behind.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar gives Vaddon a gentle poke in the ribs.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;And in the lord's absence? Why, Rafe and Lady Ysenda enjoyed his fine hospitality - his wine, his feasts, his gilded chambers, and each other.&quot;<br /> <br /> Leayne giggles at Vaddon.<br /> <br /> You grin.<br /> <br /> Zersha laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;The nights were warm, the silk sheets softer than any sailor's hammock, and the mornings full o' laughter.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar gasps!<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;By the time Lord Gavain returned, weary, humiliated, and lirumless from chasing ghosts, Rafe was long gone - his purse lined with the lord's coin and his heart light from andaen in Lady Ysenda's company.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore gasps!<br /> <br /> Zalinyar quietly says, &quot;Ooohhh clandestine.&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra smiles quietly to herself.<br /> <br /> You recite:<br /> <br /> &quot;As for the lady? Well, she welcomed her husband home with all the grace of a dutiful wife, her eyes shining with secrets never spoken.&quot;<br /> <br /> Leayne nods.<br /> <br /> Vaddon smiles.<br /> <br /> Siendra quietly says, &quot;Good for her.&quot;<br /> <br /> You smile and bows with a flourish.<br /> <br /> Zersha quietly says, &quot;She should have just gone with Rafe...&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar nods to Siendra.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Siendra nods at Zersha, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> Elore exclaims, &quot;That can't be the end!&quot;<br /> <br /> Raising his Imperial stout to you, Stelling gives you a toast. Cheers!<br /> <br /> Elore asks, &quot;She stayed with Gavain?&quot;<br /> <br /> Siendra points at Elore.<br /> <br /> Siendra nods emphatically.<br /> <br /> Zersha pats Elore on the back.<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Aye, 'tis the end - but only of this tale, love.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha looks at you and applauds!<br /> <br /> Siendra exclaims to Elore, &quot;If it's the end, we write our own. She obviously won the kingdom and welcomed Rafe back to rule with her!&quot;<br /> <br /> Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms.<br /> <br /> Zersha nods at Siendra, obviously agreeing with her views.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Leayne closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance.<br /> <br /> Elore nods to Siendra.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Leayne wiggles over and snuggles up against Crobin.<br /> <br /> Stelling says, &quot;I'm not sure Rafe sounds like the settling down type...I bet they both got what they needed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Siendra, &quot;GAvain was eaten by spiders.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore asks Siendra, &quot;Maybe she burned the place down and started a new life?&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling grins.<br /> <br /> Elore ponders.<br /> <br /> Siendra giggles at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Stelling chuckles at Zersha.<br /> <br /> Vaddon nods to Stelling.<br /> <br /> Stelling takes a sip of his stout.<br /> <br /> Siendra excitedly exclaims to Elore, &quot;As a thief!&quot;<br /> <br /> Zalinyar quietly says, &quot;SHe's going to keep taking, and taking, and never giving back, and will eventually be a thorn in a fingertip.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore exclaims, &quot;And she was Rafe all along!&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore says, &quot;Wait.. that.. might not make sense.&quot;<br /> <br /> Stelling laughs!<br /> <br /> Elore ponders.<br /> <br /> You laugh!<br /> <br /> Siendra laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.<br /> <br /> Siendra pats Elore on the back.<br /> <br /> Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Elore.<br /> <br /> Elore says, &quot;It's like a time warp thing.&quot;<br /> <br /> You say, &quot;Ye are fine company for spinning yarns.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore holds her sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh.<br /> <br /> Leayne grins, revealing her dimples.<br /> <br /> Soft waves of a gentle, warm peach color flicker around Leayne.<br /> <br /> Zersha says to Elore, &quot;I'm not going to think too hard on that one.&quot;<br /> <br /> Zersha chortles softly at some secret joke.<br /> <br /> Siendra looks at Elore, obviously trying not to grin.<br /> <br /> Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.<br /> <br /> Elore turns down the waistband of her dreamweave pants.<br /> <br /> Amailia takes a sip of her brandy.<br /> <br /> Elore ponders.<br /> <br /> Elore shakes her head.<br /> <br /> Elore hums to herself.<br /> <br /> You say to Elore, &quot;I hope I have fulfilled my obligation, for yer teaching is worth all you asked.&quot;<br /> <br /> Vaddon glances at Elore.<br /> <br /> Vaddon blushes a bright red color.<br /> <br /> Vaddon glances at Zalinyar.<br /> <br /> Vaddon frets.<br /> <br /> Elore says to Vaddon, &quot;That was not what I meant to do.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore blushes furiously!<br /> <br /> Elore says, &quot;Ignore.&quot;<br /> <br /> Elore covers Vaddon's eyes with her hand.<br /> <br /> Siendra says to you, &quot;Thank you for inviting us all here.
