|p=[[Alexsei]] says, "It seems about the right time to get this underway, it seems."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "First and foremost, greetings and welcome to everyone who has come to attend today. On behalf of the {{PRel|Order of the White Rose}}, we thank you all for attending this {{PRel|Zoluren Town Meeting}}."<br>
[[Manze]] says to Atazai, "It's good stuff."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "For those who do not know me, I am Alexsei Krauser, Vice Speaker of the Rose. If you would allow me, I would like to take a moment to go over the purpose of thse Town Meetings, for the sake of those here with us for the first time."<br>
[[Hanryu]] says, "Thanks for the help folks."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Hello and Welcome."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "The Zoluren Town Meetings are regular events meant to focus on the sharing of information to [[Zoluren]] Citizen and visitors. It is also a hub to share concerns and ideas, in the mindset of being better prepared to defend our province and aid our neighbors as needed."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Thus, while the Rose is holding and organizing these, they should be thought of as community events. In that mindset, if you have information, thoughts or opinions you wish to share, let us know so we can listen to it."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "These would be meaningless without your presence, input and participation, so please do not be shy."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Now, before we move on to the current events section of this meeting, let me once again go over our running topic - secure communication during emergency situations in Zoluren."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "To facilitate secure communications during invasions and dangerous situations, it was agreed upon during previous Meetings that we would adopt a color of [[Item:Colorless_albredine_ring|albredine rings]] to use as a Zoluren 'Emergency Channel' of sorts."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "This channel can be used during such dangerous situations to communicate with fellow defenders, in an effort to help keep things secure and organize the defense effort better."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I need one of those rings."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I have a colorless one."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I need the blue one."<br>
[[Eindolv]] says, "We havta tap um on each other or sumsuch."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "The color that was chosen for this channel during previous meetings was Banded Cobalt. If you have a ring attuned to that color, you can share in with the network."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "Help."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If you do not have one of these rings, we will hand one to you for free, if you wish to contribute."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "I mean I also need help getting one."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "I need one."<br>
[[Traegor]] says, "I would like one."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If you are interested, please whisper to me and I will hand you one."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Ohh Ill contribute."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "After I will go to the bank."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Thanks for all the help Hewlet, it's really appreciated."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "How does one work."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "And there is no cost for these. The Rose offers them for free."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Tap it then think."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "How do i atune it."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Tap it each time I want to think?"<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "It won't fit on my finger."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Alright easy enough."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Hold a metal blade in your other hand then."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "To use it, you tap the ring, then think your message as if using a gweth."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Hold a weapon in your other hand and wear it."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Yeah that."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "You got fat fingers?"<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "It would seem so."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Nae ye need the threaten."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Er threaten it."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "Too much drink for meh [[Bard|Bardic]] hands...they are muscled."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "As Meara says, if the ring does not fit your finger, hold a bladed weapon while trying to wear it and it will resize for you."<br>
[[Alexsei]] asks, "Have I handed a ring to everyone interested? Did I forget anyone?"<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Who makes these?"<br>
[[Katjia]] says to Alexsei, "I would like one please."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "We buy the rings in bulk, and then I sit dilligently in the temple and attune them."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "I think that [[Trader|traders]] can buy them in bulk in Ratha?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Sortny would know better than me."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Yea we can buy them."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Some find them on critters too."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Thank you."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Nae sure if ye still can."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "I've found 'em not too long ago."<br>
[[Manze]] whispers to your group, "thoughts a tic"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I think so."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says to Sortny, "I believe you can."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Oh."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "Or at least they're on the shelf with "things I haven't figured out what to do with yet."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "If ye find them on critters, some have different charges."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Sortny, "We still have a few in here, but when we run out, I might have to have a chat with you miss Sortny, in case you happen to travel by Ratha."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I've seen five, ten, fifteen and twenty."<br>
[[Eindolv]] asks, "Can the rings be smashed?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I do have access to two ships."<br>
[[Skizzy]] asks, "Do you have to tap it to hear thoughts, or just to say somethin'?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Sortny, "Duly noted, you might receive a visit from me in the future then."<br>
[[Ribbet]] asks, "They con only be used or they turn off like jail and death?"<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Only to say something."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I think they can't be smashed but they may deactivate if you die."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "As long as you are wearing the ring you will hear a thought."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Just have to remove and wear again."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Skizzy, "Yes, only to speak. When wearing the ring, you can hear the thoughts sent to the network just fine, as do all who wear it."<br>
[[Ribbet]] asks, "Can we talk to a single person too?"<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Not with these."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "You'd need a crystal ring for that."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Only the crytal rings."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "Ahh."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "These only."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Those are a different kind, yes. The crystal rings are one on one communication only."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "Well if you were the only two wearin' the same color ring ..."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well, with that out of the way, I have chewed your ears off long enough, so let me just give the stage to Talliska, who will speak of current events."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Thanks Alexsei."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "I would applaud, but she might get shy."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Hello all, I'm Talliska, Lorekeeper of the White Rose, here to present today's current events related to invasions and threats to the provinces."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I have a lot of topics for today. So if you want to comment, keep it respectful and on topic, or if you must, wait until the meeting is open for general comments and announcements."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "You silly people."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Well applauding is better than heckling."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "I take no responsibility."<br>
[[Talliska]] says to Alexsei, "We'll have words later."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Today I'll be reporting on recent necromancer activity, including a couple related undead invasions and the reappearance of [[Ahlureis]], and another red bear orc invasion of our neighbors up in [[Therengia]]."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Before that though, I'd like to give an update on the situation in [[Ilithi]], as its Court and Militia prepare for [[Ferdahl]] [[Aemmin]]'s meeting with the new Emperor of the {{PRel|Dragon Priest (Cult)|Dragon Priests}}."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Don't think we've got any Court folks among us today so let's just hope I've got all the details right."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Court Advisor [[Leucius]] Delarazzio held an Ilithi town meeting a couple of weeks ago, during which he revealed the location chosen for the Ferdahl and Emperor to meet."<br>
[[Manze]] says, "Doesn't look like it today."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "This location is a clearing at the foot of [[Wyvern Mountain]]. It can be reached by climbing up a rockslide out of [[Shard]]'s west gate."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I think Alexsei told me there's a Kerenhappuch altar nearby there."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Can anyone attend?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Yes, Leucius actually asked, even encouraged others to help and participate."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'll get to that more in just a bit."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The clearing was chosen because it has only one way in and one way out, thus makng it more defensible, and because it satisfies the Dragon Priests' request for an open air meeting place."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The Advisor also stated that no one involved in the planning of the Ferdahl and Dragon Priest meeting believes it is anything other than a trap."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And as I mentioned before Ilithi is definitely welcoming outside help."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Commanders [[Rainea]] Rippentropp and [[Traim]] Ruin of the Ilithi Militia are in charge of arranging the details, but any one person from the Ilithi Court could point you toward where and how to help."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That would include Leucius, their advisor, [[Ruea]] the Court Bard, [[Arroura]] the Court [[Cleric]], [[Gridaskma]] who is Court Historian... I'm sure I'm missing others. Ah. [[Synamon]], the new Ambassador."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "So if you want to help definitely get a hold of one of them or the Commanders. We'd be happy to pass on a message too. The Rose is hoping to organize and send a group down their ourselves."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "There isn't a date yet for the meeting though, but Leucius said it would be announced as soon as they know it."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I will go for some guard duty."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'm sure they will appreciate it."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "What I do know of security thus far, is that they are planning to consecrate the clearing. And they also recommend bringing ranged weapons."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "As the open air requirement suggests the Dragon Priests may have flyers."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I better get training."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Any other thoughts and questions about the Ferdahl's meeting with the Dragon Priest emperor?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to Hewlet, "And I will attend for triage."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I do."<br>
[[Talliska]] says to Sortny, "Sure, go right ahead."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Fyrresong, you can go afterward."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says to Kazeth, "You will probably be triaging me."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Have they petitioned other provinces for help formally?"<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Or is this just informally?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks Hewlet, "Didn't I heal you last time we had this meeting?"<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I don't know why I would have been injured."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Well, Leucius tends to be pretty off the cuff, I am not sure if he's sent any formal requests."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I'll spread word then."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But it did come from him during an official town meeting. I guess it's more like an open call."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Thank ye."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "No problem! Fyrresong, please go ahead."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] asks, "I've been a bit sleepy lately. Curious if you can tell us what happened to the last Emperor, and when the new one has risen?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Sure thing. The last ruler of the Dragon Priests was actually an Empress, [[Hhrsaraa]]."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I hope I got that right."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "She was actually executed only a few months ago. Or so that's how it looked like from the moon mage visions."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The visions indicated that she seems to have been killed by her own people and she cursed them as she died."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Whomever the new Emperor is, we don't know his name or identity yet. But his first act as emperor was to send an emissary to the Ferdahl to ask for peace talks."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Obviously that has a whole lot of us scratching our heads."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "Priest make me fidgety, I hope this doesn't spell any danger."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "Thank you."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "You're welcome. I think Scorral had something next?"<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "Does the cobalt colored rings also apply for the Illithi communcations."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "With this meeting."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "Or do they use other colors."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "I hope that made sense."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "They're meant to be Zoluren only. Ilithi would have their own means of communication."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That is probably something you'll have to ask Commander Rainea or Traim."<br>
[[Scorral]] says, "Thank you."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "No problem! Okay, anything else or can we move on to the next topic?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Next, we have had some notable necromancer activity lately which I would like to discuss."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "According to reports and personal accounts, a necromancer by the name of [[Zerreck]] Arkarm has been attacking the provinces in recent weeks, aided by the [[Moon Mage|moon mage]] [[Lasciel]] Averoigne."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The first incident I was made aware of was on the 14th day of the 1st month of Akroeg, 401. At the time, zombies were attacking at the [[Crossing]] [[Empath]] guild infirmary."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Yes, that was hideous..."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "She also was aiding other necromancers by the bank the other day."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Killing people as well."<br>
[[Tiakim]] asks, "Zombies? as in more than one?"<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Empaths [[Garia]] and [[Marssi]] also assisted the [[Necromancer|necromancers]]."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks, "Are you sure?"<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "And a Cleric [[Kezurek]] raised them."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "He was probabally with his cohort necro, zamn."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It's sad to hear but yes I've heard numerous reports like this."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I was hidden and saw it all."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "The necromancers have been bringing other undead in too."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "But I like them..."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "[[Germish'din]] and [[Wir Dinego|wir dinegos]], even into the empaths guild."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I liked Garia, but no longer."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Kezurek... yeah, I don't like her too much. She helps [[Silvwyn]] and [[Eladrin]]."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The incident I just mentioned, also had wir dinego and germish'din, yes."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "They are all working with Lasciel."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "There were several waves of them and it was quite hectic. Even the Guildimistress [[Annael]] came out to address the situation."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I have gotten her purged many times."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "They killed me in the infirmary for asking them to stop the violence while I was trying to heal."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says to Talliska, "That Annael needs to get some better guards."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Hewlet, "Please show more respect when speaking of a guild leader."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The guildmistress herself confirmed Zerreck and Lasciel as aggressors, so I have very little doubt that all these reports hold weight."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "When I questioned Annael, she also mentioned that someone ought to inform the Cleric guild leadership about this latest necromantic threat."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says to you, "My apologies, but I had a long conversation about it with her and nothing has been done to protect the Empaths."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "I don't know what to think about Marssi and Garia..."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks Hewlet, "Are you suuure?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Her preference was for High Priestess [[Tallis]] to be informed. I do not know yet if anyone has done so."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Sure about what?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to Hewlet, "Marssi and Garia aiding necromancers.."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Very sure."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I saw it with my own two eyes."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "They're kind of like my mentors..."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I got lasciel purged, and they drug her away and healed her and Kezurek raised her."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Some of the protection, I think, will have to be done by us, here. Annael is powerful but just one woman. THat's why it's important we get more organized, one way or another."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And also train harder. WHich is a lot of what I am trying to do lately."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "More than anything I'd like to be able to help guarantee the safety of the province and its people. That's what we're here for. But thank you all, for the reports and confirmations."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I usually keep my avenger called when I work in the infirmary now."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "There was another incident with Zerreck and Lasciel in Theren, as well."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "I had dreams of staying neutral and never having to enter combat... This city has harshly taught me otherwise."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to you, "I never wanted to learn that spell."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That was on the 26th of Akroeg, More of the same, zombies, wir dinego and germish'din. The militia there made pretty short work of it so I heard."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Kazeth, "It once wasn't so rough and we could afford to be neutral. Unfortuantely we can't any longer."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "My brother said you did some aiding as well."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That day I spoke with Commander [[Marsais]] of the [[Northern Watch]] who is quite aware of Zerreck and Lasciel's activities."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks you, "You look really nice. How come I haven't seen you around the infirmary?"<br>
[[Fyrresong]] asks, "That coversation he gave me detail. Could you define that coversation?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Both the militia and the Guard up there are actively doing their best to keep them out of Theren. I hope that we can step up our game and do the same."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Fyrresong, was that to me?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Give me a moment."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "They have a decent response up there."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "And Marsais chased them here to Crossing and dealth with Lasciel himself."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That he did. He's a commendable officer."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Marsais also helped us with the zombies that Zerreck summoned that day too."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "He was there with me when Lasciel openly admitted to attacking Theren too. Sad times..."<br>
[[Traegor]] asks, "I saw a lot of people die that night... Are you sure it was just the two?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "They always have help."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "There are others I am sure but they are the two highest on the list so to speak."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "As far as noteriety is concerned."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "WHich may well be part of what they like about it, who knows."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Any other comments about Zerreck and Lasciel or any other necromancer related threats?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "It has taken the spotlight off of a few others, it seems."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "Well don't forget about Fiction..."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Go right ahead."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "He is also with them and has led serveral attacks on them.... so ive herd..."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] asks, "There was a shady new necro face at the gate. She was asking about meeting with the empaths? Any further details into that?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Ooho Ahlureis."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I was going to get to her next."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Kazeth, "Now that is one woman you want to stay far away from."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "She is actually not quite new... She was around since back when old [[Naarg]] was attacking the Crossing. That would be a couple years back?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to you, "I've never heard of her..."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "She's been a menace numerous times here in Crossing."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But there was a long period where she disappeared, and has just recently reemerged. Let me poke at my notes for a bit of a summary fo those who don't know of her."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I did not have a problem with Narg, I mean, philisophically."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Ahlureis is a known necromancer who in the past has visited the Empath guild infirmary to question and observe Empaths."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Well, one of the Naargs."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Her main interest seems to be in what role [[Empathy skill|empathy]] served in [[Lyras]]' demise."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Anyone know anything about [[Jondong]]?"<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "He good or bad?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Ahlureis has in the past killed empaths and their patients in pursuit of this information, though she claims she only ever did so in 'self-defense'."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I don't recognize the name."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] asks, "Any connection to do with the Zerreck attack on them?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Well have seen him around but do not know anything about him."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I believe he killed that one the other day."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Yes."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'm not sure if Ahlureis is involved with the whole Zerreck affair but the first time I saw her in months, was the same night Marsais was chasing Zerreck down."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Jondong is a [[Barbarian]]."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Didnt he kill you?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "I was speaking someone from Shard. He told me Jondong was a necromancer supporter."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "Alright."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "I believe it."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "He's a neutral troublemaker."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "He was there when Lasciel and everyone was killing."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "And he killed."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "He could be."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Anyway, that night I saw Ahlureis I managed to talk to her a bit."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "Sounds like it might be more too it then just coincidence."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to you, "She sounds scary..."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to you, "I hope she doesn't come into the infirmary when I'm working."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "She had no idea who I was, so I had to explain to her exaclty why she was notorious... I'm sure she knows, but she constantly claims she is harmless."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "In fact she says that her 'friends' whomever they are, get upset with her if she harms someone."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "It's a go to technique of theirs."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "I wonder if she'd recognize Bella."<br>
[[Kazeth]] whispers, "Wow... I hope you show up more often..."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Another thing I noticed from speaking with her was that she seems to have a dislike for the [[Philosophers of the Knife]]. In other words... guilded necromancers."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "She was pretty upset with Zerreck hiding in the background that night for whatever reason. Told him to cut out his magic and that it made her teeth itch. Something like that."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks, "What profession is she then?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "She uses necromancy. BUt I just don't think she associates with the guild of necromancers."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I have seen her use such magic."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Hard to know what can be believed with them. Tricky situations."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "A self-trained necromancer..."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "So I'm not sure what exactly sort of faction she is in, but it's obvious that those people are very interested in what empaths can do."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "In particular, Ahlureis is now on the look out for [[Asrea]]. She was the empath who linked Lyras in the final battle with her."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "Is she still trying to kidnap us?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'm not sure if she is kidnapping just any empath now."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "When I talked to her it was clear she wanted to speak with Asrea in particular."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It goes to mention that Ahlureis and people similar to her should be considered extremely dangerous, if only because they might not always appear to be bad folks."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I have heard a few disturbing things involving empathy and necromancy."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently asks, "Who is Asrea?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "A hero."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Want to explain Mia?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It was rather easy to be wary of Lyras. Not so with some other defilers."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Of sorts."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Atazai, "Not much any more. She's been seen aiding a necromancer in Theren."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "And that's why we have meetings."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "I feel like we're the last good Empaths left..."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Asrea is an empath who linked with Lyras. This allowed K'[[Eksharo]] to complete a certain link to her that helped with her demise."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Recently, she's been seen working with [[Ricci]] up in There. Ricci is a confirmed necromancer. My own cousin saw him raise himself using foul magics."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Er in Theren that is."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "I wonder prehaps if they are teaching necros ways of empathy in some manner. That does sound disturbing."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "This is all so worrisome.. I now feel unsafe in what should be the safest place in the city."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "No one knows what exactly K'Eksharo did. It's a ritual of our Guild that has not been taught to us."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It is suspected Ahlureis is interested in Asrea because of that link that helped with Lyras' demise. There seems to be something with the procedure - Asrea's role and K'Eksharo's power - that seems to draw her curiosity."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And I'm even more clueless about it than Mia is."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But we know that it worked. Whatever Eksharo did, and Asrea did... it helped kill Lyras."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I haven't heard of teaching, but I've heard rumors of people starting believe empathy and [[Thanatology skill|thanatology]] are closely related."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Remember that necromancy by nature uses and perverts life magics."<br>
[[Skizzy]] asks, "Well they heal themselves, don't they?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I've seen a necromancer heal, it's backwards."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Is it in the same manner that an Empath heals?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It also drove the [[Khalo: A Student's Primer (book)|Khola rae Moda]] into extreme shock I think. Not even sure where Eksharo is nowadays."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Principles of [[Sorcery]] are that by combining two or more mana types together, one can get new and powerful effects at the cost of stability and other unknown possible backlashes."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "K'Eksharo lost his ability to link afterwards. That's the last we heard of him."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "I wonder if it has to do with [[Empathic Shock|Empathic shock]]?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It's a shame we have not seen him in some time... But the last thing we'd want is for the necromancers to find out anything from him in a weakened state."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I know Asrea had really bad shock afterwards."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "It's not the same, but they can mess up other people's bodies to fix their own. Sounds pretty similar."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Necromancy is a subdivision of Sorceries. As such, it uses life mana combined with other types. Therefore, there is a root of life magic in its use, though it is perverted by mixes and foul practices."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Several Empaths helped her share her burden."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It seems like she carried other scars besides just the shock... given what associations she's made recently."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It is not a far stretch to think that if Ahlureis was to learn what occured during the life magic ritual leading to Lyras' demise, she might be able to adapt or extrapolate a related effect for her own use."<br>
[[Atazai]] asks, "To take out Guilded necromancers?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Perhaps she has become more like that empath that used to shift people..."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "[[Jomay]]?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Jomay."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Atazai, "Possibly, or to her own ends. Her end game is unknown to all but her at this point."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says to Talliska, "In any case, sorry to interrupt, Talliska."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That's very disturbing. But Ahlureis is such a puzzle. Her motives are still unclear though we know exactly what information she's seking."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Seeking, too."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "If she's willing to kidnap and kill empaths, it doesn't matter what her end goal is. It's wrong, and evil."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "Sorry for asking but why cant empaths shift people."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Shifting is against our guild rules."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Do to what happened with Jomay."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "Seems... interesting..."<br>
[[Ribbet]] says, "Hmm.. is there a reason."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "One thing I'd like to ask the mages among us... If you do see Ahlureis about you may want to try to track her some how. I don't know if she and Asrea have gotten into contact yet."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "That one empath who is known for stealing away Empaths is seen on a night the guild was attacked... yet another Necromancer takes the blam..."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Ribbet, "Jomay was shifting people against their will. And there was talk of shifting souls or something like that."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I wonder."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Could Lyras have shifted into Asrea?"<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "Into .."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Umm..."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But if Ahlureis and Asrea do speak... that would be a conversation to hear. If at all possible."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Or into Ekshara."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] asks, "You mean the [[Undead|lichdom]] that took of lyras?"<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "Over rather."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Thats a thought i dont even want to entertain."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "That's beyond my expertise, if that were possible it'd be frightening to say the least."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Er Eksharo rather."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Scary..."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I believe Ahlureis is seeking out Asrea to learn a way to defend herself from what happened to Lyras."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Anyways, if any of you skilled mages among us do track and speak to Ahlureis, or find out if she's met Asrea, or so on... I'd appreciate it if you could come to a future meeting and let us know what happened. Or to any of us Roses."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It will be hard to extrapolate more. Needless to say, everyone should be wary of the insideous threat, the one that does not always look overt. We should not fall into zealotry, but you should all keep your eyes peeled and your steps cautious."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Suppose the soul shift took place already, that could be why Ahlureis is looking for Asrea, to make contact or to wake Lyras up again."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It's possible that we may want to avoid them meeting altogether. Or if anyone knows Asrea personally... try to discourage her from cooperating."<br>
[[Ariya]] whispers to your group, "alex uses such big words"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Anyway, I do have a couple more topics to cover before I go on, I know we're running a bit over two anlaen now."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Are you folks willing to put up with me a bit longer?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Sure."<br>
[[Tiakim]] exclaims, "Never!"<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "But of course."<br>
[[Siltoth]] says, "I just got here."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Absolutely."<br>
[[Talliska]] exclaims, "Eep not the tickle spot!"<br>
[[Sortny]] says to Siltoth, "Yer late."<br>
[[Siltoth]] says to Sortny, "You should have reminded me."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "Siltoth is never late, he is always fashionably on time."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Okay then, let's move away from all the necromancer talk and toward some more events that recently occurred in Therengia."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And welcome to the latecomers."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Oh the invasion yesterday?"<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "Ymm."<br>
[[Ariya]] asks, "Who has the eye up?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Oh mine was actually a few andaen ago."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "Ok."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Thats my nifty ability to keep us safe from hidden invaders."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "If you know about a more recent one I'd love if you could talk about it."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But let me go over what I know first."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "On the 21st day of Akroeg, another invasion of red bear orcs occurred in [[Langenfirth]] and up the trade route toward [[Therenborough]]."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It seemed fairly typical for this sort of invasion. The lesser skilled [[Orc Scout|orc scouts]] came first, followed progressively by the [[Orc Bandit|bandits]], [[Orc Raider|raiders]], [[Orc Reiver|reivers]], [[Orc Slasher|slashers]] and [[Orc Marauder|marauders]]."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "I got split in half."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Aww! Those meanies."<br>
[[Hewlet]] confidently says, "She blames me."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "I do."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Chieftain [[Viggu]] did not show this time around, as far as I know, though the [[Order of the Theren Guard|Theren Guard]] and militia made an effort to seek him out once their cities were secure."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "One fact to note is that the orcs never invaded past the Therenborough gate this time around. They congregated in great numbers right outside the gate, though."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to Ariya, "Glad you're safe now."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "There were a couple of odd occurrences I either saw, or heard about on the gweth, that happened in that vicinity."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Once, Court Cleric [[Meidori]] mentioned seeing a large orc run from the Therenborough gate with a large sack with a human foot sticking out."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Yes."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I was there and saw that."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "After the fighting was over."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "While I was standing outside the gate, I also noticed an orc clan-chief fade into view for a moment, then suddenly disappear when he tugged a chain around his neck."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks, "Did they kidnap someone?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The thought crossed my mind that the attack that day was meant to be a distraction. or at the very least, that attacking the keep was definitely not the goal this time around."<br>
[[Siltoth]] asks Kazeth, "The butler?"<br>
[[Skizzy]] asks, "Not to be crude, but was the foot still attached to a person at the time?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "The sack was rather large."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "A kidnapping is possible from the hints I saw. And it did seem lik ethe bag was full."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "And looked occupied."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "Just wonderin' if we're talkin' about a body-snatch or a kidnapping, is all."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "But who was taken?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Seemed almost like the invasion was there so orcs could go into the city in hiding and capture... whomever."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Oh dear."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "I am not sure anyone has confirmed that. Do you know, Atazai?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks, "They didn't take a head-count? No idea who's missing?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "If it were a major figure we'd have heard about it by now I'm sure."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I haven't heard of anyone known to be missing. A group led by Marsais went to [[Rossman's Landing|Rossman's]] to search."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "They found nothing."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I'd go see if the shopkeepers are still there."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I know that Viggu regularly kidnaps ordinary townsfolk too though. For his err... breeding experiments."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "That's..."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Sortny, you said there was another invasion recently in Theren? Was it orcs, or something other?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I was trading the other day."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "And while I was running my caravan from Langenfirth to Therenborough. I noticed that along the north road there were critters."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Which normally they do nae roam."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I saw [[Rock Guardian|rock guardians]], [[Rock Troll|rock trolls]] and [[Granite Gargoyle|granite gargoyles]]."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "That is a harsh but true concept, yes. Viggu has been known to kidnap females to breed with his orcs. There are no words."<br>
[[Siltoth]] asks, "Bad moon maybe?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Hmm..."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "All earth related."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I could handle the trolls and gargs but nae the guardians."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "But I did nae hear anything on the gweth."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "True. Sometimes the critters just wander out of their normal areas, we've gotten odd invasions like that here in Zoluren before too."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "Wait what."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I've never seen a gargoyle north of Crossing."<br>
[[Ariya]] asks, "Who kidnaps females to breed with orcs?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says to Ariya, "Viggu."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Chieftain Viggu."<br>
[[Talliska]] says to Ariya, "Viggu does."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "He's the chieftain of the red bear orcs."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "Well...I married a tog...."<br>
[[Ariya]] says, "But I don't think I could mate with an Orc."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Nae even close."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "He also collect teeth. Take that as you will."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I did report it on the gweth."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to Ariya, "I don't think there was an option for whoever was stolen..."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "When I came back through the area on the way to Langenfirth, they were gone."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "But they did nae go past the mistwood road."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "They've got pretty quick response there so likely they took care of it."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Lady Drexella reports that he stole hers when she was caught by him once."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Thanks for the report."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Or south of the thicket."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Stole her what?"<br>
[[Ariya]] asks, "Her teeth?"<br>
[[Atazai]] asks, "Have populations of the creatures in their normal environment gone down?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "A few of her teeth."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Ye think they are migrating?"<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "I hunt guardians sometimes, hasn't seemed any slower."<br>
[[Talliska]] whispers to your group, "I make a point to kill a few every time I'm in Rossman's."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "ALl three from mountainous regions, certainly strange."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Okay, I do have one more topic to bring up before I wrap up here."<br>
[[Tiakim]] whispers to your group, "frown"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "It's a report that came to me from [[Zynara]] Lonemoon of Therengia. She actually meant to speak up last meeting."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But things got pretty chaotic what with the reaction to the Ferdahl meeting the Dragon Priests... Understandable."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "But I cut her off and she wasn't able to speak. So I told her I would listen to her report and give it today."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "In any case, this relates to an incident during which the Court Advisor of Therengia, [[Valkri]] Hygia, went on a diplomatic trip to the [[Outcast Tribes]]."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "During her meeting with King [[Raenilar]], he brought up his intention to 'seek revenge' on Queen [[Morganae]] on the [[Mountain Elves]], should he ever get the opportunity."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Zynara's concern stemmed from the possibility that Raenilar might eventually move forward with these plans on the pretense that Queen Morganae is influencing the Ferdahl toward erratic behavior."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Now all of this is speculation of course, but she cited that the Ferdahl has mountain elves in her court, and her recent decision to meet with the Dragon Priests, as evidence of such behavior."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "The reason Zynara wanted us in Zoluren to know is because any aggression on King Raenilar's part toward Queen Morganae, or even the Ferdahl, could potentially put our province in the middle of the conflict."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "And that is the extent of her report... any questions or comments?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "Again..."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Um..."<br>
[[Crayzeke]] says, "Mabe then the Infantry will be back.."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks Atazai, "Did you have anything to bring up?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "That is our lot, and thus our duty. Being in the middle ground is a big responsibility, one each and everyone of us should meet."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says, "Is there a list somewhere of all these people I'm supposed to be runnin' away from? I can't keep track of who's helpin' who."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "I've seen priest roam in crossing long ago. So I recommend if you see them walking even near our city, Report 'em and seek good shelter. They come in a rough onslaught."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Just a final caveat, what I just gave was second-hand information. I was to go to Theren and get some direct confirmation about the meeting with Raenilar, but did not have the time."<br>
[[Katjia]] asks, "Regarding Lasciel, do I not heal her if she asks?"<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly asks Skizzy, "Feels like everyone is evil, don't it?"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Well, we can't specifically tell empaths what to do."<br>
[[Skizzy]] says to Kazeth, "I'm stockin' up on flowers, that's for sure."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Flowers?"<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "She opened a gate at the fountain the other day, walked through and asked for a heal."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says to Katjia, "I thought to heal anyone and everyone who needed my services... but just like being neutral, I have been taught differently."<br>
[[Skizzy]] exclaims to Kazeth, "Somebody's gonna touch me and steal my soul or kidnap me or somethin!"<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "I'd recommend against going out of your way to help her, though, given that associating with her is going to be a black mark on your reputation. And potentially the Rose's."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "Sometimes even neutral can be bad. Luckily that's not too often though."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "It may seem scary, and it is. But the opposite is also true. There is strength in number on either side. If you suspect you are in danger, seek help. Do not meet threats alone."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "That's what the rings are for."<br>
[[Atazai]] says, "Yes, I'm good at meeting threats alone and dying somewhat quickly."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "However she may behave outside of her necro-supporting activities, she did those actions. She built that reputation by throwing in her lot with people like Zerreck."<br>
[[Kazeth]] slowly says, "I will remember to use mine when I see bad things happening."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "And I'll say I actually liked Lasciel in the past. So it's hard to say that kind of thing but it's true."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Nice big friends are good too."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If you are not sure who to ask, then seek one of us - we will try to help to the best of our abilities."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "We do have these nifty rings too."<br>
[[Talliska]] asks, "Okay I've seriously rambled enough. Mia, still with me?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I am."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] exclaims, "And don't forget your prayers to keep the Lulled World Dragon asleep!"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "My turn then?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "I'm Mialeigh Arekher, Recruiting Director for the Order of the White Rose. If you're interested in joining, please feel free to talk to me or my assistant Meara."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Anyways, on to the fun stuff. We have a bunch of events in the works, starting with those closest to home. In Zoluren, we have The [[Order of the Apostles]] Tea Party Lecture at the Rest of Ages Inn, Taproot Tavern in two days; a [[Order of the Black Fox|Black Fox]] Fishing Tournament, an Apostles Joust and Trader Market Days: Bridal Faire in six days; and the Order of the Apostles Game Night: Denied! in seven."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Our neighbors to the North the Theren Guard Presents Your Community and Northern Watch Combat Training in four days; the Theren Theatre Series in six days; The Order of the Theren Guard Fishing Competition! In seven days; and Northern Watch Combat Training in eleven days."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Ilithi has plenty of events coming up as well. In three days, there is Big Liar! and a Visions Meeting in five days. A Ilithian Provincial Joust takes place in seven days followed by a Theology Discussion in eight."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Lastly, our friends across the sea on the islands are hosting an Iron Circle Hunt in seven days."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Now, I was advised that Sortny had something she wished to announce so I will go ahead and pass the floor to her."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Greetings."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "My name is Sortny Quartre-Plea, Trader and proprietor of my mercantile here in the city of Crossing."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I am Chairperson of the Trader's Consortium."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I coordinate the traders in our Trader Market Days."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "In about six days it'll start in Shard. This time it's a Bridal Faire."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Ooo bridal."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "It'll be from noon to nine evening [[OOC Euphemisms|Elven bells]]."<br>
[[Katjia]] asks, "Need a groom though?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Lots of wares will be on display. I'm recruiting a lot of other Traders for this."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says, "Sounds fun."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Plus encouraging the shops to be open in the plaza."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "It'll be for two days."<br>
[[Talliska]] says, "Oh I bet it'll be fun. I remember having a blast shopping for the ball. Though I'm already married...."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I will have formal wear as well as rings for sale."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "But we can just buy."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily exclaims, "Could renew!"<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Don't need a wedding."<br>
[[Fyrresong]] asks, "Dress to impress?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Talliska, "We can go and pretend we're shopping for our daughters."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Ye can buy gifts for others."<br>
[[Katjia]] exclaims, "Rings!"<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Need more fingers."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I'm sure there will be weddings soon."<br>
[[Meara]] dreamily says to you, "I think I might tag along for that."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Formal wear for men too."<br>
[[Manze]] says to Katjia, "You would look funny with twelve fingers."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Cravats and ties."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "But I could wear more rings."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Formal jackets and trousers."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "As well as wedding gowns for the brides."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Oh."<br>
[[Tiakim]] asks, "Are there going to be clerics about to give kiss roses as well?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I will also have some of the newer fabrics there too."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I think that would be a good idea.."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Just in case ye might be looking for alteration material."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I had this made recently."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Thats lovely."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Thank ye."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Anyway come down to Shard for the weekend."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Something in blue."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "That's all I have to say."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Oh questions?"<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I mumble sorry."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I asked if there were going to been clerics available to make kiss roses for to be couples."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Oh the roses."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I'll talk with them."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I'm sure I can get some."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "I have one but I need more."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Don't need to be a couple to shop though."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Thank ye for reminding me."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Was just tryin to through a random idea i had out there."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Im full of em."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "I can try to make a few if you have need, miss Sortny."<br>
[[Tiakim]] asks, "Throw?"<br>
[[Tiakim]] asks, "Through?"<br>
[[Sortny]] asks Alexsei, "Oh could ye?"<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "Take a guy shopping come back married."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "He wont know what hit him."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Do let me know and I will make you some."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] ask, "Gonna drag courage boy down there?"<br>
[[Sortny]] says to Alexsei, "I'd appreciate it. Or ye could sell them down there."<br>
[[Litrel]] says, "I've fallen victim to that tactic twice yet."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "He is against marriage."<br>
[[Katjia]] asks, "Went shopping came back a groom and broke?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Oh, I will give them to you, you can sell them at your leisure. I am not much of a tradesman."<br>
[[Litrel]] says, "Yeah, I have a hard time saying no to up-sale."<br>
[[Sortny]] says to Alexsei, "Ye never know. Someone might need a cleric to marry them while they are down shopping in Shard."<br>
[[Katjia]] asks, "Buy a dress up-sale to a marriaage?"<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "Yes I'd like to see more Clerics give marriages."<br>
[[Katjia]] says, "So a divorce would be a down-sale."<br>
[[Litrel]] says, "A slippery slope, indeed."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Woow."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Alexsei married my husband and I."<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say, "Long long ago....."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "No need to extrapolate on how long, I am dated already."<br>
[[Sortny]] says, "Anyway yer all welcome to spread the news."<br>
[[Tiakim]] asks, "You know what would go perfect with that dress?"<br>
[[Mialeigh|You]] say to Alexsei, "So am I."<br>
[[Sortny]] says to Tiakim, "Pretty."<br>
[[Sortny]] asks, "Anyways that's all I had. Any more questions?"<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Well then, thank you miss Sortny for the announcement. I hope the event is a resounding success."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Shes got the ensemble im sure."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "If no one else has anything else to share or add, then I believe we have reached the end of this meeting, folks. With no casualties, no less."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "I like fashion what can i say..."<br>
[[Katjia]] asks, "Marriaes considered casualties?"<br>
[[Fyrresong]] says, "I can play the casualty if we were seeking one."<br>
[[Tiakim]] says, "Im the ebon god, the most beautiful [[Elothean|elothean]] to ever live."<br>
[[Alexsei]] says, "Thank you all for attending folks - these are only as successful as you make them. Your attendance is priceless to us."<br>}}
