The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Formerly Human soup!"
The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Formerly Human soup!"

Kitosaki says, "Smaller than Tog soup."

Saragos says, "Ok, so, I would highly recommend getting Asildu to help us in playing the song for him if we get a chance."

Gragnel nods to Illiya.

Kitosaki studies the ground for a moment.

Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Couri says, "Aye, not sure what he be now."

Kitosaki makes a disgusting grunting noise.

Saragos says to Angel, "I don't know what you mean by mana managed more safely."

Casari says, "Worth trying to make him Human again, if someone can do it. Might lessen their grip on him."

Saragos nods to Casari.

Lady of Frostbite Siendra just arrived.

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

Karthor nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu waves to Siendra.

Kerennya waves to Siendra.

Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.

The Prydaen villager says, "I think it'll lessen their grip if we leave him in soup form."

Illiya lays her hand on Siendra's arm.

Siendra hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Siendra beams at Illiya!

Siendra hugs Sukidesu, who wraps his arms around Siendra with a warm smile.

Kitosaki points at a Prydaen villager.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Elurora hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Elurora with a warm smile.

Sukidesu hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Sukidesu with a warm smile.

Siendra smiles at Kerennya.

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

Kitosaki says, "Im all about the villagers."

Siendra hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return.

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

Gragnel says, "What matters is there is a soul in there. One that appears to be trying to fight for control. That is what we should promote or encourage."

A Prydaen villager bows gracefully, then dances a rather graceful ballroom pose.

Angel says to Saragos, "Being able to cast magic, or be limited to certain magic. I have been there many years ago, with Mazrian leading if I recal correctly. I just don't recall the abilities to use all mana types."

Ryeka nods to Gragnel.

Lexxa asks, "It was a deminstartion to what they could do to each of us?"

Tirost says to Angel, "It's more or less the same as on this plane, though there is a massive engine of some kind called the Holder of Storms there, and a huge resivior of energy - so much, that focusing on the structure will blind a magic user."

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

Couri says, "I think the artifacts need ta be researched."

Tirost hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Tirost with a warm smile.

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Zalinyar frowns.

Siendra smiles.

Saragos asks, "Ok, so who has ideas on how to sever Asildu's connection to the Heralds? I liked Avrenka's idea, expressed through Couri, of dealing with the artifacts. If we get the chance, I think our best bet is to ask Asildu directly about them. I also think just blasting him with Sorcery is... decent, but kind of a brute force method. Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Mazilyn raises her hand.

Saragos nods to Couri.

Wearing a thoughtful expression, Kitosaki wipes a bit of slobber from his mouth.

Saragos asks Mazilyn, "Yes?"

Couri nods to Saragos.

Angel gives Tirost a slight nod.

Ezerak says, "I do not think he will agree to anything if sorcery is involved."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Mazilyn says, "Ive been workin on an immortal approach with Truffenyi's help and a really big quill."

Mazilyn holds a sleek fishtail oak writing quill tipped with a long baby blue plume high into the air for all to see.

Gragnel nods to Mazilyn.

Sukidesu asks, "I'm curious...have any empaths been able to...make contact with him since he became less human?"

Tirost grins at Siendra.

Kitosaki says, "I have this idea brewing..."

Saragos says to Ezerak, "Possible."

Gragnel says, "It's such a lovely quill, too."

Zalinyar says, "So use magic, use guild magic, don't use magic, dont use your own guild's magic. Big question. Kind of like... eat bread, don't eat bread. Drink ale, don't drink ale."

Imroth says, "What are the artifacts? I must have missed that part."

Mazilyn says, "So i have some ritual and words prepared."

Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!

Aerilia nods to Sukidesu.

Siendra beams at Tirost!

Elurora quietly says, "Magical holy scissors."

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Ezerak says, "He is still very anti-sorcery."

The Prydaen villager asks, "What is your idea, Kitosaki?"

Karthor says, "The one Casari mentioned about tryin' to revert him to human form sounds like the perfect nail to my Empathic hammer. But that might just be me."

Sukidesu ponders.

Ezerak says, "Even when lucid."

Angel leans on Zalinyar.

Lexxa asks, "If they don't like sorcery, what if he cast it? Wouldn't it make sense that they would give up the host if it's feeding them what they don't want to eat?"

Angel gazes at her fingernails.

Tirost nods to Ezerak.

Aerilia says to Sukidesu, "Apparently he feels like any normal person, empathy-wise."

Kitosaki asks, "Um is bacon or ham better?"

Lexxa asks, "Drink?"

Kitosaki grins at a Prydaen villager.

Lexxa says, "Whatever."

Zalinyar smiles at Angel, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.

Zalinyar hugs Angel, who wraps her arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile.

Couri says, "He said he were researchin artifacts and that how the Heralds pulled him in."

Traim says, "Sovereign Destiny has the effect of tearing one from their place in the web. Is it worth the damage it might cause? Debatable."

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

The Prydaen villager says, "Definitely bacon."

Saragos says to Imroth, "Asildu mentioned studying artifacts of the Heralds when he first appeared as the beginning of his journey to having a connection with them. That might be something significant that we can work with, or it might be nothing. We haven't really investigated that so far."

Leayne giggles.

Imroth asks, "Have we seen these artifacts?"

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Elurora says, "I think if we don't want the Heralds finding him, it might be best to avoid sorcery since it seems to bring their notice."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kitosaki says, "Okay for reals..."

Traim nods to Elurora.

Couri exclaims, "We need ta find out which ones!"

Casari nods to Elurora.

Lenko nudges his jay and its wings curl forward and cover its head as if embarrassed.

Saragos says to Imroth, "Not to my knowledge."

Illiya says, "Asildu mentioned that the reason he may be tied to the research and artifacts that he has come into contact with over the years. I personally did not interpret that to mean specific artifacts, although Avrenka did."

Ezerak nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Unaka gets a gold-edged ivory parchment from inside her thick satchel.

Ezerak says to Elurora, "Another good point."

Saragos nods to Illiya.

Illiya says, "Pardon me, tied to the Heralds."

Mazilyn says to Gragnel, "Maybe you can help me work Damaris into it if we are gonna be at his altar."

Aerilia says, "Anything to do with the artifacts will probably take too long to figure out, is my feeling."

Elurora smiles at Ezerak.

Ryeka blinks.

Unaka says, "Avrenka wrote to me, Perhaps if we can search, find and destroy artifacts that Asildu had come in contact with, we might disrupt the Heraldic connection."

Valynn nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Unaka puts her parchment in her thick satchel.

Kitosaki says, "What if you cleric types and empaths or what not get together and make some blessing for weapons or some such that can put a real hurt onto these heralds. Beseech the Gods for help on this and do what they say."

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Ruea rolls her eyes.

Tirost gazes thoughtfully at Unaka.

Ryeka nods to Kitosaki.

Siendra bows to Gridaksma.

Elurora gazes at Unaka.

Leayne ponders blessing weapons

Ryeka says, "Kertigen does have a powerful blessing for weapons."

Elurora asks Unaka, "The trouble is, how do we even know where to start looking?"

Casari asks, "Finding artifacts seems like a thread, but do we have time to go find something that apparently no one but Asildu has ever found? Did he leave them in a room upstairs?"

Imroth asks, "Do we have any sort of lead about what these "artifact" could be and where to find them?"

Kitosaki exclaims, "Then we go call out dez hereadly du bad guys and gals and give em whats for!"

Saragos says to Kitosaki, "That's more of a 'fight the Heralds' idea, which I'm all for. But right now we're talking about trying to free Asildu, if we can."

Unaka says, "I think someone suggested asking Asildu. Seems straightforward enough."

Couri shakes her head at Imroth.

Kitosaki says, "Make lots of puddles sort out latter."

Unaka looks at Elurora and shrugs.

The Prydaen villager says, "So much effort for formerly human soup."

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Sir Madigan goes southwest.

Saragos asks, "Is there anywhere Asildu has been that we might leave a message for him? Any ideas?"

Tirost says, "If he tells us where he saw or handled the artifacts, that would give us a start. The problem is, he's working with limited time, and they will be watching him more closely than ever, I'd imagine."

Elurora asks, "Wasn't he staying here?"

Illiya asks, "Gaethrend's?"

Illiya nods to Elurora.

Elurora nods to Illiya.

Mistanna says, "More like jam. It happens to Moonmages not infrequently."

Karthor says, "Trouble with askin' him is that if he's lucid enough to answer, it's probly his last chance to exist already."

Imroth says, "Well if we had those or knew where to look that would be a great start. Sort of sounds like a rumor at this point."

Saragos says, "Some people have spent a lot more time around him than I have."

Karthor nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.

Gragnel says, "I think that we're only going to find more about these so-called "artifacts" is by getting him somewhere safe, which brings in the suggestion for Damaris' altar as a place of secrecy. Of course I support this. But, again, it might be the only way we can ever find out more from him directly without influence."

Kitosaki chuckles at Mistanna.

Zalinyar grumbles.

Saragos says to Illiya, "He has been here, it's trye."

Saragos clears his throat.

Saragos says, "True."

Sir Madigan just arrived.

Dantia touches Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.

Tirost nods to Gragnel.

Madigan moves into position to block attacks against Dantia!

Kitosaki scratches his head.

Gragnel says, "All we have are questions. More and more of them."

Valynn folds her arms across her chest.

Elurora grins at Gragnel.

Dantia joins Madigan's group.

Sukidesu says, "It's been that since day one."

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

Eyst gives a slight nod.

Imroth asks, "He just stays at the inn??"

Tirost glances at Valynn.

Sukidesu sighs.

Zalinyar says, "I have spent so much time hunting for, researching, looking for, getting killed over artifacts."

A tear runs down Zalinyar's face.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki says, "I don't know... listening to talking puddles is kinda where I draw the line. Too creepy for me."

Leayne nods to Zalinyar.

Gragnel snickers at Zalinyar.

Kitosaki drools.

Vaddon rubs Zalinyar's back.

Ryeka pats Zalinyar on the back.

Elurora gestures.<br>
She twiddles her fingers at the green banner.<br>
The green banner bobs and shudders for a moment.

Illiya says, "He used to stay here, not sure where he is staying now."

Gragnel asks Zalinyar, "Why not more? ey?"

Gragnel grins at Zalinyar.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Yes, creepy!"

Zalinyar sticks out her tongue at Gragnel and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbt" from her lips!

Crobin pats Unaka on the back.

Kitosaki grunts at a Prydaen villager.

Imroth nods to Illiya.

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Imroth says, "I hope they kicked him out after he turned into an evil bush."

Gragnel snorts at Imroth.

The Prydaen villager says, "We should leave the puddle and cast more sorcery."

Gragnel asks, "He did do that. Didn't he?"

Gragnel chuckles.

Zalinyar says to Gragnel, "You go spend your sniffles in those musty dusty libraries."

Siendra nibbles on her fingers contemplatively.

Zalinyar folds her arms across her chest.

Ryeka ponders.

Zalinyar snorts, loudly.

Kitosaki exclaims, "Ooh set the bush on fire then!"

Gragnel grins at Zalinyar.

Unaka says to Saragos, "Avrenka also wrote to me about another idea about severing the connection. I don't mind sharing when you're ready."

The Prydaen villager says, "Puddles are not worth saving, they're too moist."

Zalinyar nods to Kitosaki.

Zalinyar applauds.

Saragos asks, "Ok, let's set the artifacts aside for a moment. We can try to leave a message for Asildu, see if he can let us know, or ask him in person if we get the chance. Are there any other ideas for breaking the connection? I was wondering if there might be something an Empath might be able to do. Asildu said that the Heralds were making him angry... maybe we could trace the source of the anger?"

Zalinyar gets a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames from inside her firesilk backpack.

Zalinyar applauds.

Saragos says to Unaka, "Go ahead."

Couri beams at Unaka!

Unaka nods.

Unaka gets a gold-edged ivory parchment from inside her thick satchel.

Kitosaki tries to eat a battered leather battle cloak painted with the crest of the Barbarians' Guild.

Valynn gazes at Unaka.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki gnaws on his lip.

Elurora rubs her head.

Unaka says, "Here's what he wrote. Keep in mind this is Avrenka's idea and not mine."

Looking ravenous, a lengthy bit of drool dribbles from Kitosaki's mouth. Gross!

Kitosaki nods to Unaka.

Siendra gazes at Unaka.

Unaka says, "Avrenka wrote, In the recent past, I can think of two instances of a person being possessed by a great extra-planar entity, and were liberated from said influence. Lyras from the Hunger, and Ciriasa from Maelshyve."

Elurora shifts her weight.

Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Unaka says, "In the case of Lyras, who was a legendary Lich empowered by some entity known as "the Hunger", an extreme Empathy-based attack was used to defeat her. I've heard rumors that Empathy and Necromancy are somehow linked -- so it would make sense to me that Empathy was used to counter Lyras' lichdom."

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Unaka says, "The case of Ciriasa, who appeared to be possessed by a demon known as "Maelshyve", is even more interesting to me. From descriptions I've gathered from First Herald reports of the time, she seemed to exhibit major demonic corruption in both her physical appearance and in her mind. Yet she was restored back to her normal Human self by use of special alchemic vials thrown at her, created by the legendary Philosopher necromancer Osven. This also would make sense to me -- that a Redeemed necromancer's purifying magic could be used to counter and purge demonic influence."

Tirost nods to Siendra.

The Prydaen villager says, "I'm pretty sure necromancy doesn't exist."

Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.

Ryeka says, "Years ago, some friends and I found research about a link between life magic and necromancy."

A pained expression crosses Tirost's face.

Saragos says, "I think I need to chat with Avrenka more often. That's all correct."

Elurora quietly asks, "There was a vial used against Lyras too. Don't suppose anyone has any of them leftover?"

Ryeka says, "It seems necromancy is life mana turned inside out."

Saragos grins crookedly.

Illiya chuckles.

Miraeven quietly says, "Frankly, I still maintain sending Asildu to the Void has only favorable outcomes. It's Urrem-tier's domain, and the closest Asildu will come to the Immortals. They can choose to retore the life, free of Heraldic connection...or not, in which case, the pawn has been removed and a mercy has been done. No scavenger hunt required."

Elurora flashes a quick grin.

Karthor says, "Oy, that's rich comin' from somethin' undead."

Karthor exclaims to the villager, "You jolthead! Die!"

Unaka says, "That's it. Then he goes on to write about the artifact idea."

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I beg your pardon, your face is undead!"

Saragos says to Miraeven, "I think that's a fine idea, if we fail otherwise."

Karthor rolls his eyes.

Saragos nods to Miraeven.

Couri beams at Unaka!

Gridaksma says, "It wasn't just the empathy attack on Lyras, but that was a major part in the complete destruction."

Tirost says to Saragos, "Though Ciriasa did not survive..."

Eyst frowns.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Unaka puts her parchment in her thick satchel.

Tirost says, "And Osven is lost to us."

Ryeka nods to Gridaksma.

(Crobin laces his fingers with Leayne's)

Casari says, "I'm not sure survival is the priority, given what the Heralds can do."

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

The Prydaen villager says, "OK. We sacrifice Casari for the pudle."

Vaddon rubs Zalinyar's back.

Elurora asks Gridaksma, "Didn't the Empath suffer from a loss of their empathy at least for a bit?"

Saragos says to Tirost, "She did not, it's true. But if anyone knows anything about surviving the breaking of an extraplanar connection, it's a Redeemed."

Elurora frowns at a Prydaen villager.

Maraisel sighs.

Couri nods to Elurora.

(Zalinyar scowls at the villager)

Ryeka nods to Elurora.

Couri says, "Both did."

Kitosaki says, "Hmm... I did a lot during the wars with Lyras but don't think I have anything left but old scars and some well used weapons."

Gridaksma nods to Elurora.

Illiya asks, "Why don't we sacrifice a random villager that nobody knows or has seen before?"

Elurora nods to Couri.

Imroth asks, "Didn't Ciriasa get pummelled by the people long after Maelshyve released her?"

Dantia chuckles at Illiya.

Leayne grins at Illiya, her dimples flashing into view.

Couri nods to Imroth.

Imroth nods.

Kitosaki gasps at Illiya!

Madigan grins at Illiya.

Angel chuckles at Illiya.

Valynn grins at Illiya.

Vaddon asks, "The Law?"

Couri says, "They sacrificed fer the better of the world."

Zalinyar praises Illiya.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki asks, "The little peeps are who we are tyring to save are they not?"

Tirost says to Saragos, "We could speak to Briaen, or..."

Angel says to Illiya, "There are a few we could do that to."

Imroth says, "Watch that one happen again with Asildu."

Imroth smirks.

Illiya dimples at Angel.

Saragos says to Imroth, "The short version of the story is that Ciriasa was beating us to pieces until we landed some vials. We tried to revive her after we subdued her, but failed, and then her body was stolen."

Dantia smiles at Madigan.

Kitosaki drools.

The bargirl places Gragnel's silver wine on the pinewood bar.

Gridaksma says, "So alchemy was used in both of the examples given."

Gragnel gets a tall glass of silver wine from atop a glistening pinewood bar.

Eyst says, "It may be worth pointing out, simply for clarity's sake, that the contribution of Osven to the vanquishing of Maelshyve has no relation to the talents of one of the redeemed. So far as I know."

Saragos says to Tirost, "Briaen is the only Redeemed I know of."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Couri says, "Necromantic."

Gragnel tilts his silver wine side to side, making the light play off it.

Imroth says, "The way I heard it was there was... many, many attacks after she was downed and released and people even said as much."

Lady of the Watch Dantia goes southwest.

Kitosaki shudders.

Kitosaki says, "Bad times that was."

Eyst says, "If one were to call upon the redeemed I expect you'd be more likely left with a pile of ashes than a whole human."

Kitosaki says, "Crowds going round burning folks just for accusations."

The Prydaen villager says, "Well - we already have a puddle..."

Kitosaki grunts at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Saragos says to Imroth, "I was there. It was more like an incredibly chaotic battle where some people didn't realize that the vials had taken effect. I'm not even certain that stopping in time was possible."

Zalinyar grumbles.

Imroth says, "He went from bush to swamp."

A night-black monkey with bright red eyes screeches loudly as it wildly darts around a Prydaen villager on all fours, tail lashing behind it.

Kitosaki laughs at Imroth.

Imroth nods to Saragos.

Mazilyn sighs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Shush monkey, I'll eat you!"

Kitosaki nods to Saragos.

Kitosaki reaches for the night-black monkey, but backs away warily when it smacks his hand away with its outstretched hand.

Kitosaki gives a night-black monkey with bright red eyes a hug!

Zalinyar quietly says to Vaddon, "Hun, I'm about to..."

Saragos says to Eyst, "Might be. We'd have to talk to him."

Zalinyar sighs.

Zalinyar shakes her head.

Vaddon sighs.

Angel raises an eyebrow.

Saragos asks, "Ok. So let's sum up our ideas so far. We've got one to try the artifacts. We've got another to use a Redeemed, possibly alongside an Empath, and we've got blasting Asildu with Sorcery in hopes of damaging the connection. Are there any other ideas?"

Lexxa asks, "Have him pray?"

Saragos nods to Lexxa.

Elurora grins at Lexxa.

Imroth nods to Lexxa.

Kerennya asks, "Has shifting been mentioned as way to try to return him to some form of normalcy?"

Kitosaki asks, "Tog farts do wonders to stop people?"

Illiya says, "That's a good one."

Zalinyar groans.

Casari nods to Kerennya.

Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!

Ryeka says, "Cast vigil on him before you do anything else- That would keep him connected to The Immortals."

Imroth says, "Yeah, let's maybe put this in his hands."

Karthor says to Kerennya, "A few times, but methinks it keeps gettin' lost in the shuffle."

Karthor chuckles.

Gridaksma nods to a weasel skeleton.

Saragos says, "I suggested that to him at the time, and he was of the opinion that his connection to the Heralds needed to be broken first."

Imroth says, "And the Immortals."

Sukidesu nods.

Angel ponders.

Imroth rolls his eyes.

Zalinyar waggles her fingers mystically at the villager. The villager isn't too impressed, really.

Kitosaki asks, "Well how did he um make a connection to the Herald whatnots... do the opposite then?"

Saragos says, "I like the idea of shifting... or at least exploring him Empathically."

Unaka says, "Avrenka's idea was sorcery, plus axes, plus Immortals."

Zalinyar sticks out her tongue at a Prydaen villager and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbt" from her lips!

Tirost asks Unaka, "May I ask if your gut tells you this is worth the time and effort to focus on Asildu? Or should we focus on supporting the Immortals against the Heralds, as the fastest way to break the connection?"

Kitosaki nods to Tirost.

Unaka fixes Tirost with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Illiya asks Saragos, "What do you mean by exploring him Empathically?"

Zalinyar scowls at Vaddon.

Madigan raises an eyebrow in Unaka's direction.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kitosaki says, "Well when one mama empath loves a daddy empath..."

Leayne takes a sip of her sherry.

Sukidesu bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.

Lexxa begins chortling at Kitosaki.

Imroth grins.

Eyst says to Saragos, "I personally like the idea of going for the Herald's connection to the fellow. I just expect it may be much too late for such a plan to bear fruit. I expect only direct intervention on the fellows soul, from some source inimical to the Heralds should suffice. Naturally most would say this would be from the Immortals, but I don't think other supernatural benefactors should be discounted. Perhaps Valenal or Liraxes might have something to contribute from their extraplanar spehres of influence."

Kitosaki drools.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "You get a whole lot of touching!"

Kitosaki laughs at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki nods.

Saragos says to Illiya, "I don't know. I'm not an Empath, but maybe if you had a link to him, you might be able to search out the source of the anger he's feeling that fills him, and get more information on how to combat it."

Aerilia ponders.

Imroth nods to Eyst.

Unaka slowly says to Tirost, "I don't know, really. We should definitely support the Immortals, but it seems like it's in people's hearts to forgive this man, and that's worth considering deeply."

Imroth exclaims, "Princess Aswampdu needs saving from the big bad Heralds!"

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Karthor says, "I'm quite sure the heralds 'emselves would be the source o' that anger. The connection does sound sort of empathic in nature, so maybe there'd be some way to...usurp it? Divert it? Somethin'."

Zalinyar seriously asks Unaka, "Meeting or two ago, you wanted to keep going on with visions, but were ushered away, because those present were afraid you would die. My question is were you truly willing to give your life to find the anser to fix all this, or was it all just another Paladin Ploy?"

Imroth scoffs.

Karthor scratches his head.

Ryeka nods to Karthor.

Vaddon glances at Zalinyar.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Sukidesu says, "I wonder if something like a Circle of Sympathy would work..."

Sukidesu ponders.

Mazilyn says, "We could make him an unbonding rose for him."

Kitosaki says, "Who was most wronged by this guy? Ask them if we should try saving the puddle."

Casari laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Illiya says, "For note, I did link Empathically to Asildu but didn't perceive anything out of the ordinary in him. Perhaps a more concerted effort would be different though."

Saragos blinks at Zalinyar.

Zalinyar gives Vaddon a gentle poke in the ribs.

Zalinyar folds her arms across her chest.

Zalinyar inhales a great swallow of air.

Unaka says to Tirost, "I think now is the perfect time for me to watch as you all decide how and what you will do with Asildu."

Zalinyar nods.

Vaddon scoffs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I'm willing to let her die!"

Unaka fixes Zalinyar with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Saragos asks Zalinyar, "Paladin ploy?"

Traim grins wryly.

Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms.

Zalinyar nods.

Elurora gazes off into the distance.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel lets out a long sigh of relief.

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

Traim says, "Sneakiest of them all, those paladins."

Traim squints at Madigan.

Doctor Leilanie just arrived.

Siendra pats Elurora on the back.

Mazilyn beams at Leilanie!

Ryeka grins at Traim, her dimples flashing into view.

Mistanna chuckles.

Mistanna hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Leilanie hugs Mistanna, who wraps her arms around Leilanie with a warm smile.

Madigan smiles.

Unaka says to Zalinyar, "A Paladin is a Protector. And a Paladin is Honest."

With a friendly smile, Zynell holds Leilanie's hand.

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Siendra.

Zynell hugs Leilanie, who wraps her arms around Zynell with a warm smile.

Elurora nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu leans to his left slightly.

Vaddon nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu leans to his right slightly.

Zalinyar chuckles.

Leilanie hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Vaddon stares deeply into Zalinyar's eyes.

Crobin hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

Sukidesu takes a seat near a glistening pinewood bar.

Kolja just arrived.

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

Leayne smiles at Leilanie, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Madigan says, "The Code."

Illiya smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Madigan nods in agreement.

Zynell perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Kolja.

Karthor says to Illiya, "A focused effort with multiple empaths might help, ya could be onto somethin' there. All o' the links. And Heart Links. Ground him in civilization as much as possible, or somesuch."

Vaddon nods at Madigan, obviously agreeing with his views.

Unaka says, "Yes, I would have died finding the answers, if you all had needed me to."

Kolja nods to Zynell.

Zalinyar asks, "Sarc THat's the code, right?"

Ruea slips away, disappearing with a soft laugh and a hint of violets.

Zalinyar coughs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "We definitely need answers, die away!"

Vaddon nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Saragos glances at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki says, "I've known a few Paladins and watched them die protecting others besides me. They didn't break once even under certain death. That is something worth fighting for and I respect that. Though yeah... they can be tricky sneaky actually."

Zalinyar smiles at Kitosaki, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Aerilia says to Saragos, "I'm in favor of dragging Asildu to Truffenyi's altar and having him beg for forgiveness while we do.. everything? Pray with him, cast sorcery, make a dozen empathic links. If we can weaken his connection at all, that may be all They need."

Vaddon cocks his head.

Saragos nods to Aerilia.

Imroth glances at a Prydaen villager.

Zalinyar says to Kitosaki, "Blessed are thou for that."

Mazilyn nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Zalinyar smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

With a graceful flutter of her hands, Zalinyar sinks down in a formal curtsy.

Saragos says, "Ok, let's come up with some actionable tasks."

Siendra looks at Elurora, obviously trying not to grin.

Primal Lady Zalinyar drifts southwest.

Elurora glances at Siendra.

Tirost says to Unaka, "I will admit that I can understand Imroth and others' point of view. I am happy to help Asildu as a secondary objective to bringing stability to the plane, but I have no desire to draw the Heralds' attention to Zengmodaleth, or become distracted with Asildu, if it means the Heralds reign longer in our skies."

Elurora chuckles.

Saragos says, "If we want to try to make this happen, we'."

Saragos clears his throat.

Kitosaki says to Aerilia, "That makes sense to me."

Kitosaki shrugs.

Siendra giggles at Elurora.

Unaka nods to Tirost.

Angel says, "I wonder if there is any magic on Asildu that can be broken off, or if protecting his mind would be helpful as he is doing whatever it is we decided to do."

Imroth smiles.

Madigan says, "Tirost correctly expresses the position of the Watch in this matter."

Gragnel says, "Once again, of course I'm in favor of doing any secret stuff at Damaris altar; I do feel that bringing him closer to the Immortals is the same as pulling him away from the Heralds. We should do this before anything else if we're to get any answers."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel glares at a glass.

Saragos asks, "If we want to try to make this happen, we're going to have to try to get the people to try these different tasks together at the same time. Father Gragnel, since you're a priest of Damaris, would you be willing to perform a blessing to try to hide us when it's time?"

Gragnel sighs.

Gragnel puts his glass in his bag.

Unaka says to Tirost, "Well, don't decide based on my instinct. But since you asked, I don't think it would hurt the Immortals' fight if you all wanted to forgive Asildu. Not unless you made a really big misstep in the process."

Sukidesu coughs.

Mathematician Avrenka just arrived.

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Zynell giggles at Gragnel.

Gragnel says, "I would, but also I have knowledge that another has prepared something already."

Couri raises her hands skyward, chanting.

Avrenka breathlessly says, "Hello."

Gragnel gestures at Mazilyn.

Aerilia waves to Avrenka.

Mistanna waves to Avrenka.

Avrenka waves.

Madigan says, "Pardon me friends."

Saragos says to Avrenka, "Hey, you arrived. Good to see you, love your ideas."

Leayne dimples at Avrenka.

The Prydaen villager says, "Misstep... into a puddle."

Couri joins Avrenka's group.

Kerennya waves to Avrenka.

Madigan raises his hand in a quick salute.

Crobin shakes Avrenka's hand.

Ryeka smiles acr

Sir Madigan goes southwest.

Illiya lets out a hearty cheer for Avrenka!

Unaka grins at Avrenka.

Avrenka bows to Saragos.

Ryeka blinks.

Elurora bows to Avrenka.

Avrenka shakes Crobin's hand.

Ryeka smiles at Avrenka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Avrenka waves.

Mazilyn says, "I do, but it aint for hiding."

Couri smiles captivatingly at Avrenka.

Saragos asks, "]gragnel Who has prepared something?"

Avrenka gazes down at the floor.

Unaka says to Avrenka, "Hey. Got your letter."

Lexxa raises her hand in a quick salute.

Illiya says to Avrenka, "We've been talking about you all night."

Avrenka says to Unaka, "Excellent."

Gragnel says, "Mazilyn is already preparing to beseech Truffenyi, I would have no problem adding to what she already has."

Mazilyn waves to Saragos.

Avrenka bows to Illiya.

Saragos nods to Mazilyn.

Saragos says, "Ok."

Defense Coordinator Lexxa strides southwest.

Angel smiles at Avrenka.

Unaka smiles at Mazilyn.

Mazilyn says, "Whole thing... Quill helpped."

Valiant Vaddon strides northwest.

Mazilyn points at a sleek fishtail oak writing quill tipped with a long baby blue plume she has.

Aerilia smiles at Mazilyn.

Valiant Vaddon just arrived.

Valiant Vaddon strides southwest.

Gragnel says to Mazilyn, "It is a lovely quill."

Mazilyn giggles.

Gragnel nods to Mazilyn.

Couri beams at Mazilyn!

Mazilyn beams!

Illiya asks, "Should it take place at Damaris' or Truffenyi's altar?"

Mistanna nods at Mazilyn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Angel whispers something to Avrenka.

Kitosaki asks, "Hmm anyone consider that perhaps the heralds are listeing to us... maybe using a spy?"

Kitosaki casually observes the area.

Angel smiles at Avrenka.

Angel nods to Avrenka.

The Prydaen villager says, "Honestly, I hope so."

Gragnel says, "Truffenyi's commune can be done nearly anywhere."

The Prydaen villager says, "I want to see what they do when we cast sorcery."

Mazilyn says, "Either, Truffenyi can work where we are."

Couri says, "Nae surprised if'n they nae listenin."

Casari says, "If the idea is to hide him, and if an Immortal is going to do something helpful, then Damaris seems like the one."

Elurora nods to Casari.

Aerilia says to Illiya, "I think They would have more strength in the temple proper, but I defer to the clerics."

Gragnel says, "So I would vote for Damaris altar for the secrecy, then the actions are more sure to succeed in my eyes."

Imroth nods to Aerilia.

Gragnel exclaims, "But again, praise Him!"

Valynn nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Kitosaki opens his mouth wide as a thunderous belch rolls up from the pit of his stomach.

Kitosaki blushes a deep green color.

Traim says, "If there's one thing extra-planar entities tend to have in common in my experience, it's arrogance. It would not surprise me if they do not listen because they simply do not think they need to."

Zynell says to Gragnel, "You and i can prepare the grove for such a thing."

Imroth asks, "Why not the main altar?"

Elurora gives Traim a slight nod.

Imroth clears his throat.

Elurora quietly says to Traim, "Like we don't listen to ants."

Traim says, "And they may be right."

Elurora gazes down at the floor.

Ezerak says, "Or perhaps they're a bit busy."

Gragnel asks Imroth, "Scenery?"

Traim nods to Elurora.

Ezerak points up.

Valynn gives Elurora a wry grin.

Kitosaki scans the area briefly.

Imroth shrugs.

Unaka nods to Ezerak.

Tirost nods to Kolja.

Elurora slowly says to Valynn, "Most of us anyway."

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Valynn.

Gragnel says, "There is a holy bath right next to the grove altar."

Traim grins at Valynn.

Valynn begins chortling at Elurora.

Gragnel says, "Might prove useful as well."

Ryeka nods to Gragnel.

The black dog begins to watch the goings on carefully.

Saragos says, "So let me summarize what we've come up with, so everyone understands. We try to get Asildu to a shrine of the Immortals, and invoke Their blessing to hide him. In that time, we cast whatever spells we think will help on him - PFE, Sanctuary on the area. Then, we have four things we want to try. Have a Redeemed work with him, have an Empath see if they can find his connection to the Heralds through a link, explore the artifacts as a way to break the connection, and channel Sorcerous mana into him. Hopefully one of those will allow us to break the connection so that he can repent to the Immortals."

Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.

Saragos asks, "Does that sound right to everyone?"

Imroth says, "I don't think I will help anyway. Asildu has to show he deserves help."

Illiya pets the black dog.

Avrenka nods.

Couri nods to Saragos.

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Valynn takes a sip of her reserve.

Aerilia nods to Saragos.

Unaka says to Saragos, "Avrenka also mentioned axes."

Leayne nods to Saragos.

Avrenka ducks his head.

Unaka glances at Avrenka.

Tirost stares intently at a black dog for a moment.

Avrenka clears his throat.

Saragos says to Imroth, "Fair. I don't care about what he deserves. I care about taking one of the Heralds' tools off the table."

Tirost pets the black dog.

Sukidesu glances at Avrenka.

Kitosaki says, "And smash, bash, swing, guzzle puddle."

Gragnel says to Unaka, "He meant mauls."

Karthor says, "There's a "try to turn the tree back into a human" bit in there on the empathic end, but that sounds like the gist of it."

Gragnel smirks at Unaka.

Leilanie pets the black dog.

Avrenka hesitantly says, "Yes ... axes ... may not need that."

Unaka grins at Gragnel.

Ryeka nods to Saragos.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Yes, Kitosaki!"

Saragos asks Avrenka, "I'm sorry, I must have missed that in everything. Axes?"

Imroth nods to Saragos.

Angel says to Saragos, "I would be scrutinizing his aura as well, to see what magical spells might be lingering on him."

Avrenka ducks his head.

Kitosaki grins.

Siendra pets the black dog.

Saragos nods to Angel.

Kitosaki draws forth a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade.

Gragnel gives Angel a slight nod.

Ryeka nods to Angel.

Illiya says, "The axes were used to free the clans."

Kitosaki pats a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Oh, that's a beautiful axe!"

Elurora quietly says to Imroth, "I believe most people deserve a chance to change if they show they want to, which he does seem to be doing."

Illiya says, "The ones we threw at the encasements."

Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki gives a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade a hug!

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I bet it makes the best puddles!"

Kitosaki exclaims, "Sometimes not even a puddle left!"

Crobin ponders.

Gragnel says, "Again, there is a soul in there fighting for control. That much is obvious."

Gragnel nods.

Saragos asks Illiya, "Was there something special about those axes?"

Kitosaki cackles deep in his throat, his voice rising in chilling laughter.

Eyst asks, "Rather boils down to tossing Asildu at the Immortal's mercy and hoping for the best doesn't it?"

Siendra leans on Tirost.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I am in awe of your greatness!"

Illiya says to Saragos, "I don't believe so."

Aerilia nods to Eyst.

Avrenka says, "We may need some physical tools to help the process along ... always good to have a backup."

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Angel just fed a crunchy familiar treat to a black dog.

Kitosaki blinks at Avrenka.

Kitosaki squints.

Saragos asks, "So is the idea with the axes just to try to chop off the vines and stuff that cover Asildu?"

Unaka says to Saragos, "They were just used to chop the vines up I think."

Avrenka looks at Kitosaki and shrugs.

Saragos nods to Unaka.

Kitosaki says, "Sure sure."

Mazilyn asks, "Do we have any idea when we might get this chance or how long we have to plan?"

Saragos says, "Ok."

Valynn whispers something to Imroth.

Casari says, "That's his body, now. Doesn't sound productive."

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki asks, "Can't hold it against me if I miss and an ear is lost or two though right?"

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Shush dog, I'll eat you too!"

Ezerak nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views.

Siendra appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Illiya says, "We might end up hurting Asildu if we're not careful."

Angel glances at a Prydaen villager.

Avrenka nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.

Illiya puts her whiskey in her encompassing shadows.

Kitosaki shrugs.

Leilanie knits her eyebrows together in a thoughtful frown.

Imroth says, "Good."

Sukidesu says, "Might end up hurting him even if we are."

Maraisel glances at Imroth.

Kitosaki says, "I'm sure we will get over it."

Kitosaki snorts, loudly.

The black dog growls, "Shut it."

Angel nods to a black dog.

Tirost says to Illiya, "Hard to think it'd be worse than what the Heralds' have inflicted on him."

Kitosaki pets the black dog.

Siendra says, "I don't think we can hurt him anymore than he has been..."

Imroth nods to Valynn.

Elurora quietly asks Illiya, "There is a chance we may kill him trying this, I guess the question becomes is it better for him to die free or held by the Heralds?"

Illiya says to Tirost, "Well, it's not as if he hasn't died before either."

Tirost nods to Illiya.

Kitosaki says, "Death by puddle always better than slavery."

The Prydaen villager asks, "I think it's best for him to die so... does it really matter?"

Gragnel says, "We may not have the chance on the next time we see him, the hope I think would be to somehow communicate to him when we are ready and pray that he is there."

Leilanie gives Kitosaki a slight nod.

Avrenka says, "Also, in the case of Maelshyve and the Hunger being evicted from their host ... there was a pretty big fight involved. We may need to be ready to restrain him by force."

Angel smiles at the Prydaen villager and repeats death by puddle.

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Mazilyn nods to Gragnel.

Illiya gets an iced cocktail glass of Black Widow bacon whiskey from inside her encompassing shadows.

Gragnel says, "I don't feel this is something that can be done simply at the drop of a hat."

Saragos says, "OOC: I don't have a way to say this IC, even though I hate talking this way. IMO, OOC we should try to get something placed on the calendar when we're ready to attract him, and shoot our shot, and if not just wait for Asildu to show up and give it a shot."

Gragnel says, "And I don't wear hats."

Angel just fed a crunchy familiar treat to a black dog.

Gridaksma gazes off into the distance.

Illiya nods to Saragos.

Aerilia nods to Saragos.

Mazilyn says to Gragnel, "At the raise of a halo."

Mazilyn points at a brightly polished platinum halo she has.

Siendra stares intently at a black dog for a moment.

Imroth says, "Well I wish you all the best. Go ahead and heal this cultist murderer with flowers and hugs."

Mazilyn giggles at Gragnel.

Kitosaki says, "Death could be the best forgiveness and comfort we could give to some that were certainly hurt by puddle man."

Gragnel grins at Mazilyn.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Sukidesu coughs.

Illiya says to Imroth, "Heart you too."

Illiya smiles at Imroth, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Kitosaki the wise!"

Imroth smiles at Illiya.

Kitosaki says, "Shhh."

Kitosaki cackles!

Angel gets a tapered glass lens framed in modwir from inside her nightsilk handbag.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.

Sukidesu leans back.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Kitosaki says, "Don't go making people expect things from me."

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Kitosaki ducks his head.

Maraisel frowns.

Angel puts her lens in her lotusweave bag.

Saragos asks Avrenka, "Before we do anything, I think it's worth trying to get a message to Asildu about the artifacts ahead of time. Is that something you'd be willing to pursue?"

Valynn quietly says to Imroth, "I suspect there will be no hearts and hugs."

Kitosaki sheathes his Dwarven greataxe.

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Avrenka ponders.

Couri says, "We will."

Couri nods to Saragos.

Avrenka says to Saragos, "I'm not even sure how a letter would get to him."

Couri grins.

Aerilia dusts herself off.

Avrenka asks, "Where even is he?"

Valynn takes a sip of her reserve.

Kitosaki gazes at a black dog.

Valynn opens her jadeleaf satchel.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Angel gets a slightly cloudy mistglass lens from inside her lotusweave bag.

Valynn gets a leather-wrapped shaker flask from inside her jadeleaf satchel.

Illiya says, "We could try mailing him one or leaving one here at Gaethrend's."

Valynn moves a leather-wrapped shaker flask to her left hand.

Imroth says to Valynn, "I am not quite sure what the plan is, actually."

Valynn pours herself an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from her flask.

Aerilia says to Avrenka, "Probably wherever the drakes roost."

Ezerak says, "Same as it gets to the rest of us, I suppose. Those Rundmolen brothers will do anything for a few gold."

Tirost says to Gragnel, "Appreciate you and Zynell being willing to give this a try. I have seen the Immortals respond to your efforts, and it is likely Asildu's best chance to be free, whether he walks the Starry Road, or on this plane a while longer."

Rienth grins at Ezerak.

Gragnel says to Saragos, "Those of the faith stand ready to assist. Once again, Trueffenyi teaches us of mercy and forgiveness."

Miraeven gestures over the dusky orb, muttering tones of enchantment!

Rienth nods at Ezerak, obviously agreeing with his views.

Valynn offers Imroth an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve.

Angel peers through her mistglass lens at the Prydaen villager.

Imroth accepts Valynn's Advisor's reserve.

Avrenka ponders.

Imroth beams at Valynn!

Imroth takes a sip of his reserve.

Avrenka says, "I will try."

Valynn grins.

Angel puts her lens in her thigh sack.

Unaka smiles at Gragnel.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Saragos says to Avrenka, "My thought was to try to leave some notes around in places Asildu might happen upon them."

Mistanna frowns.

Zynell says to Tirost, "His walking or not is up to Mazilyn."

Kitosaki says to Imroth, "Umm it was do stuff.. wiggle fingers... smash with big axe pretend accident when ears bleed."

Zynell nods to Tirost.

Mazilyn perks up her ears, glancing around alertly.

Avrenka nods to Saragos.

Saragos says to Avrenka, "Or possibly flyers? It might not work, but I don't suppose it can hurt."

Lunar Princess Angel goes west.

Mazilyn nibbles on a sleek fishtail oak writing quill tipped with a long baby blue plume thoughtfully.

Avrenka says, "I'll start with the post office."

Elurora grins at Avrenka.

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

Sukidesu says, "A wise man."

Gragnel nods.

Saragos says, "Good idea."

Tirost grins.

Imroth takes a sip of his reserve.

Leayne takes a sip of her wine.

Tirost grins.

Looking ravenous, a lengthy bit of drool dribbles from Kitosaki's mouth. Gross!

Siendra says to Tirost, "Pang is perfect, shush."

Tirost laughs!

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Leayne leans back against Crobin with a loving smile.

Kitosaki stretches his arms.

Saragos says, "Ok, Avrenka is going to work on contacting Asildu. We'll give that a little bit of time to work. I'm going to see if I can convince Briaen or another Redeemed, if any know of one, to make this attempt."

Eyst asks, "Are we merely trying to get Asildu in a place at a certain time, or is more communication needed?"

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Illiya says, "I think we're trying to get a head start on the artifacts."

Aerilia gets a mug of mocha coffee from inside her leather backpack.

Kitosaki pats a fluffy cream kitten wearing a strawberry creampuff costume with pink sprinkles.

Valynn frowns.

Imroth says, "I wonder what sort of artifacts he has."

The Prydaen villager says, "Probably wet ones..."

Kitosaki laughs!

Aerilia takes a sip of her coffee.

Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.

Imroth says, "Twigs and roots I bet."

Kitosaki snorts, loudly.

Mazilyn ponders.

Kitosaki opens his battle cloak.

Saragos says, "For the rest, I can take responsibility for trying to schedule an attempt with a vigil to the Immortals with our Clerics here. If that doesn't work, I think those who happen to be present when Asildu pops up again should just do their best with what we've discussed."

Kitosaki closes his battle cloak.

Avrenka says, "I remember when we first met him, he was wearing a few dragon-related paraphenalia."

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Casari nods to Saragos.

Tirost says to Saragos, "I'll reach out to Briaen."

Saragos asks, "Does that sound good to everyone? Am I missing something, or wildly off-base on anything?"

Zynell says, "We have vigils scheduled for the next three weeks."

Gragnel says to Saragos, "I am flexible, as are the others with enough notice."

Gragnel nods to Mazilyn.

Imroth says, "I remember that. I thought that was more of fan boy stuff than artifacts."

Saragos says to Tirost, "Perfect, thank you."

Aerilia nods to Saragos.

Saragos nods to Gragnel.

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Saragos says, "Ok, then that's all I've got."

Saragos says, "Thanks, everyone, for coming."

Mazilyn nods to Aerilia.

Unaka asks Saragos, "Okay so, just so I understand. You're going to try to contact Asildu so you can find and destroy the artifacts. Then meet Asildu with a Redeemed and do a vigil to Truffenyi and Damaris?"

Ryeka ponders.

Aerilia takes a sip of her coffee.

Crobin shakes Imroth's hand.

Kitosaki gasps!

Avrenka looks at Couri and blushes.

Unaka says, "It's nothing huge. But I've been meditating on the question of getting back into the Null Prison and... I think I might have something. Still needs work though."

Rienth says, "And disruptive."

Kitosaki grumbles.

Illiya grins at Rienth, her dimples flashing into view.

Mistanna chuckles at Rienth.

Zynell asks Unaka, "The Damaris followers will be prepping the grove for the next.... until we find asildu i am not certain a specific event will be held?"

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Elurora nods to Unaka.

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Kitosaki says, "We all were "just" villagers once."

Avrenka asks Unaka, "Is there anything we can do to help you meditate on it?"

Unaka fixes Avrenka with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Kitosaki points at a Prydaen villager.

Ryeka nods.

Your existences will be erased from memory as motes of dust, forgotten as an age of fools that pollute the very magic you were given the chance to use, while you and all you love suffer torment for the rest of the eternity.""

Zynell grins at Ryeka.

Sothios nods to Ezerak.

Saragos says to Kitosaki, "I think that's a good question, so I'll answer it in several different ways. Why defy them? Because they don't care about us, because they're draining our world dry of magic, and if it's truly drained dry, then life as we know it can't exist. Because they kidnapped our people without knowing or caring who they were. They wage only intimidation tactics. If we knuckle under to them, we'll be doing it forever."

Ryeka grins at Zynell, her dimples flashing into view.

And finally, I think it's telling that, through the Immortals, we've rescued the missing people and torn down the enclosures they put on our cities. They haven't redone them. They haven't kidnapped more people, even though MANY people have shown themselves to be more of a pain in the butt to them than the original kidnapped 5 were."

Imroth asks Elurora, "No? When did he change his mind?"

Aerilia takes a sip of her mead.

Illiya says, "If we give in to threats, it only encourages them to keep doing it."

Elurora says to Imroth, "When he came to us for help if not sooner."

Imroth says, "It wasn't before encasing the clans."

Zalinyar gets a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames from inside her firesilk backpack.

Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.

Imroth says, "It wasn't before commanding drakes to attack."

Saragos asks, "The Heralds have now resorted to threats, several layers of them. But not more action. I think that's telling. I think they are becoming weakened, and they are barking because their ability to bite is limited. Why have the people running Holy Sorcery parties not been kidnapped?"

Saragos says, "Anyway, back to Asildu."

Saragos says, "So, I think there's broad agreement that he's only going to break free with the help of the Immortals. If there's a way to do it ourselves, we haven't discovered how, and we don't have time to do so. However, Asildu believed that his connection to the Heralds would have to be severed or damaged in order for the Immortals to be able to help him at all."

Sukidesu takes a sip of his mead.

(Crobin eyes look about the room focusing on a few people giving a nod before scanning the area more)

Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.

Zalinyar nods to Mazilyn.

Crobin says, "Not sure my hopes could get any higher."

Gragnel says to Crobin, "All you need to know is "L" and "T" buddy."

Gragnel smirks at Crobin.

Dantia smiles at Traim.

Tirost chuckles at Gragnel.

Eyst ponders.

Unaka asks, "Avrenka wrote, Unaka, I ardently request that you meditate and pray for the Immortals' wisdom upon these things -- whether Asildu's Heraldic influence may be countered by sorcery, Immortal divine intervention, or perhaps even brute force via the axe. Or whether perhaps we are better off in search of said Heraldic artifacts -- perhaps the Immortals or Liraxes may be able to sense such Heraldic influence?"

Sukidesu points at a polished cambrinth cloak pin inlaid with a snowy alabaster unicorn he has.

Zalinyar ponders.

Kitosaki leans on his greataxe.

Sukidesu points his panther pin at a glass, which he is holding in his open hand. Enticed by the scrumptious morsel the panther pin reacts. Without hesitation the panther pin gobbles it down!

Eyst gives a slight nod.

Aerilia smiles at Unaka.

But, the good news is that I think all the visions really did go somewhere inside me, and I've been trying to, uh, sort of search through them for the answers to what you all have been asking. There's a lot that Truffenyi shared with me, so I've been lucky to find a lot of answers."

Maraisel grins at Tirost.

Sukidesu gazes at his fingernails.

Mazilyn nods in agreement.

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Angel smiles at Unaka.

Unaka says, "But this time I think that what Avrenka wanted to know is not in the pool of knowledge that I have. At least, I wasn't able to find it. Maybe it's not something Truffenyi knows, or maybe he just didn't share it with me already."

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Maraisel grins at Ruea.

Leayne ponders.

Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Angel smiles at Unaka.

Zalinyar frowns.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "It's ok, I have answers! Step 1: Cast more sorcery. Step 2: Guzzle the puddle. Step 3: Profit!"

(Tirost's eyes pass from Unaka to Saragos.)

Ryeka says, "It seems to me- that maybe..."

Unaka nods to Mazilyn.

Tirost takes a sip of his reserve.

Mazilyn exclaims, "Thats ok im ready to try anyways!"

Mazilyn beams at Unaka!

Casari says to Imroth, "The first choice was to trade you for him, but I don't think they're bargaining."

Aerilia asks Unaka, "Does that go for the second venture into the null prison as well? No information to be uncovered right now?"

Zalinyar says, "Step four, silence the villager."

Casari sighs.

Couri beams at Mazilyn!

Defense Coordinator Lexxa just arrived.

Traim chuckles to himself.

Unaka says to Aerilia, "Uh, actually I have different news on the Null Prison but I thought I'd save it for after, since this is about Asildu."

Saragos says, "So, let's do our part. Meraud, and the other Immortals, give us tools so that we can help to solve the problems ourselves."

Crobin just hugged Lexxa.

Zalinyar grins at Leayne, her dimples flashing into view.

Leayne just hugged Lexxa.

Aerilia nods to Unaka.

Ryeka says, "If we could channel The Immortals to Asildu- and the Vigil Spell would do that- I think."

Imroth says to Casari, "You would feed me to dogs in a moment, but the guy responsisble for massive damage is now worth saving."

Ryeka shrugs.

Zalinyar looks at Vaddon and sighs.

Mazilyn says, "Everyone is worth saving and Truffenyi's mercy knows very little in the way of limits."

Aerilia smiles at Mazilyn.

Unaka gazes fondly at Mazilyn.

Ryeka smiles at Mazilyn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Gragnel asks, "Is it not Truffenyi himself who teaches us of mercy and forgiveness?"

Couri beams at Mazilyn!

Saragos says, "So, Asildu was trying to hide from the Heralds by going near the Standing Stones. He hoped that they wouldn't be able to see him there. That proved not to be true, though he didn't make it directly in front of the stones, their influence extends throughout the Zaulfung. And I think I know why. We have reason to believe that the Heralds live here, on the Plane of Abiding."

Imroth says to Casari, "I'm sure explaining yourself is too much."

Elurora slowly says, "Maybe if we can get him into a room with that Bard spell that makes it harder to find people, it might give us a few moments to work..."

Tirost gazes at Saragos.

Mazilyn giggles at Couri.

Ryeka ponders.

Allye raises an eyebrow in Saragos's direction.

Couri nods to Mazilyn.

Eyst says to Imroth, "I can agree that it's questionable as to whether the fellow is deserving of the effort, but the effort alone may be its own reward. Cleansing heraldric corruption, removing a pawn from their grasp, seems a worthy endeavor to investigate."

Allye asks Saragos, "What makes you think so?"

Kitosaki scratches his head.

Tirost nods to Eyst.

Crobin nods to Leayne.

Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.

Imroth asks Eyst, "Save the evil guy for science?"

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.

Ryeka exclaims, "And save him so The Heralds can't use him anymore!"

Imroth scoffs.

Aerilia takes a sip of her mead.

Kitosaki tries to eat some cook's worn and tattered armor covered in drool stains.

Elurora slowly asks, "Didn't Asildu say aomething about them coming here after their home was destroyed?"

Eyst says to Imroth, "Indeed. If you don't see a soul deserving of saving, then perhaps a specimen that can be learned from."

Illiya gets a clear glass charm etched with a floral motif from inside her encompassing shadows.

Illiya puts her whiskey in her encompassing shadows.

Leayne grins at Crobin, her dimples flashing into view.

Kitosaki ponders.

Kitosaki buffs his scalp, making it shine.

Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.

Unaka smiles at Kitosaki.

Saragos says to Allye, "That's a good question. I didn't come with full notes on that regard, but I believe some things Asildu has said over time have led to imply that. But I'm not prepared with solid evidence on that score unless I spend some time digging through notes about all the madness that's happened to us."

Gragnel rummages through a plain unimportant-looking bag, pausing once in a while and then quickly resuming the search.

Gragnel frowns.

Allye nods to Saragos.

Gragnel gets a fluted glass of Silverspruce wine from inside his leather longcoat.

Gragnel beams!

Kitosaki says, "Bah nough talk. Point me at what needs smash."

Illiya gets an iced cocktail glass of Black Widow bacon whiskey from inside her encompassing shadows.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kerennya gets a tall glass of silver wine from inside her mariner's rucksack.

Imroth says to Eyst, "That at least makes a bit of sense. I am sick of hypocricy about this whole subject."

Zynell grins at Gragnel.

Kitosaki strikes a heroic pose.

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Saragos says, "What I will say is that, In my opinion, the best way to hide him would be 1) to take him somewhere off of our plane, and 2) ask the Immortals for assistance in hiding him. There are two easy ways off this plane, the Planar Observatory, and Zengmodaleth. And Zengmodaleth is way easier to get to."

The Prydaen villager says, "Friends don't let friends save puddles."

Crobin chuckles.

Crobin says, "The Z-spot."

Saragos asks, "Does anyone else have any ideas on how we might hide Asildu from the Heralds' sight so that we could buy some time to try things?"

Ezerak says to Saragos, "Easier to stay in for a length of time, too."

Crobin nods to Tirost.

Saragos nods to Ezerak.

Kitosaki grins.

Leayne grabs Crobin by the shoulders and shakes him!

Illiya asks, "I think Couri has some ideas from Avrenka?"

Crobin smiles at Leayne.

Elurora says to Saragos, "That one Bard spell, I forget it's name. But it can block people from finding other people. It might help, it might not."

Couri nods.

Sukidesu ponders.

Tirost says to Crobin, "Zengmodaleth."

Couri exclaims, "I do!"

Ryeka says, "What about the temple? Easy place to get lost."

Aerilia shakes her head at Saragos.

Tirost says, "That's risky."

Illiya smiles at Couri, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Crobin says, "Thats what I said."

Crobin nods to Tirost.

Zalinyar giggles at Crobin.

Karthor asks, "Turn their gaze somewhere else, perhaps. Wasn't Liraxes workin' on somethin' to that effect?"

Saragos says to Elurora, "Sanctuary. Can't hurt."

Tirost grins at Crobin.

Saragos nods to Elurora.

Leayne sighs.

Elurora nods to Saragos.

Imroth says, "Drag him to the temple and sacrifice him to Huldah."

(Couri slips out of the crowd and beams brightly at the gathering.)

Saragos says to Couri, "Go ahead."

Saragos nods to Couri.

Couri exclaims, "I probably the last person ye would expect up here but I been talkin ta Avrenka about these verae issues and agreed ta bring his ideas ta ye in complete support!"

Couri says, "I goin ta try ta say it like he did word fer word."

Gridaksma glances at Imroth.

(Couri crosses her arms and taps her finger against her chin with a very serious expression.)

Sukidesu rubs his head.

Couri smiles before catching herself and then surprisingly in a very refined accent she says "He said, 'Couri, I've come up with two ideas on severing Asildu's connection ta the Heralds for ye ta share.'

Leayne smiles at Couri, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Mazilyn gasps at Couri!

Unaka fixes Couri with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Allye asks, "Are there any Holy spells we could cloak him in, since that's the realm of mana they can't utilize? Protection from Evil?"

Elurora gazes at Couri.

Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.

Couri says, "My first idea be a brute force method, employing the same tactics used to liberate the Clans from the Heraldic vine encasement. In that case, we used sorcery for a few weeks to weaken the vines, until the Immortals were finally able to cut thru with their golden beam (assisted by our prayers and concentration)."

Leayne takes a sip of her sherry.

Couri exclaims, "Then he say, 'He may not want sorcery used on him, but given the circumstances ... he may relent' and I agree with him!"

Crobin nods to Allye.

Zalinyar leans back against Vaddon with a loving smile.

Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum.

Allye nods to Couri.

Couri says, "He thought fer a bit, fer that what Avrenka do and he said, 'Also, I'm not sure he would survive such an intervention. After all, the vine encasement was entirely blown away. But! None of the inhabitants in any of the Clans were harmed in any way. So it may be viable'."

Saragos says to Allye, "Again, can't hurt. I'll write it down."

Allye nods to Saragos.

Ryeka asks, "Bless him, maybe?"

The Prydaen villager asks, "What if... he's still a puddle?"

Zynell says to Allye, "Bless, soul shield, couple of things."

Tirost says to Saragos, "Taking him to Zengmodaleth seems risky to me, at least without hearing from the Lord of the Void. There is a huge source of power there, and the Heralds are looking for power."

Couri says, "And then he say 'My second idea is to search for Heraldic artifacts -- and dispose of them. Asildu mentioned that his study of certain Heraldic artifacts formed a connection thru "some residual energy or something in it" as he said'."

Traim gets a night-black Tokka deck pressed with a border of moonsilver links forming a chain from inside his tokka case.

Ryeka nods to Zynell.

Crobin asks, "What about casting holy sorcery at him?"

Vaddon appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Allye nods to Zynell.

Couri smiles and says confidentially, 'I tole him about the artifacts....

Crobin says, "Like if you look into Protection from Evil."

Eyst ponders.

Couri says, "Anyhow, then he say "This makes sense to me, as I recall there once was a Demon Robe that allowed Maelshyve to possess people who came into contact with it."

Crobin asks, "Why not have it cast at him via sorcery?"

Crobin says, "Two things they seem to not like."

Miraeven quietly says, "We could...hide...him in the Void. The immortals could intervene to restore him...."

Kitosaki makes a disgusting grunting noise.

Couri says, "And then he were real quiet and I wondered if'n hae fallen asleep."

Allye quietly says, "Please excuse me."

Picnic Basketcase Allye goes southwest.

Couri says, "And finally ended up with "The main problem would be locating these objects. Perhaps the Immortals or Liraxes would be able to assist us, here.'."

Couri exclaims, "So that be his message, and I be in full support of his ideas, fer he a lot smarter than me be!"

(Couri sinks into a graceful curtsy and beams brightly again at the group, back to her normal self.)

Madigan says, "I would pick anywhere except Zengmodaleth."

Elurora grins at Couri.

Unaka nods to Couri.

Leayne nods.

Ezerak says to Tirost, "A valid concern."

Saragos says to Couri, "Interesting ideas. Let me set those aside for a moment, and circle back to them when it comes to talking about how to break the connection."

Couri beams at Saragos!

Crobin nods to Saragos.

Kitosaki says, "I've found the solution to most problems can be solved by a big stick... or giant maul and application of lots of smash, bash, swing... stomp on stuff. A comicly large greataxe doesn't hurt as well."

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Madigan smiles at Kitosaki.

Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.

Lexxa asks, "What if he were to cast sorcery himself to break the connection?"

Dantia chuckles.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I like this guy, he makes puddles!"

Lexxa says, "They don't like that."

Great Lenko just arrived.

Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.

Leayne grins, revealing her dimples.

Kitosaki drools.

Lexxa ponders.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Traim quietly says, "Our barbarian friend largely has it right I expect. Sorcery is just...a big stick."

Traim smiles slightly.

Unaka draws forth a notched splitting maul with an ox horn attached to the head.

Kitosaki says, "Wait..."

Kitosaki blinks.

Illiya grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view.

Unaka shows Kitosaki her splitting maul.

Traim pats Kitosaki on the back.

Elurora slowly says, "It might be a silly idea but since they can't seem to sense or use holy magic, what if we just cast a whole lot of holy spells around him? Maybe that'd just blind them to where he is for a bit..."

Elurora shrugs.

Kitosaki exclaims, "I know something without knowin it!"

Unaka says to Kitosaki, "Mauls are good too."

Kitosaki cackles!

Unaka puts her maul in her thick satchel.

Unaka sheathes her splitting maul.

Ryeka draws forth a sparkling uthamar mace with a lotus blossom head.

Kitosaki falls over.

Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.

Kitosaki rolls around on the ground. Typical.

Kitosaki laughs!

Crobin nods to Elurora.

Ryeka shows Kitosaki her uthamar mace.

Traim tilts his Tokka deck side to side, making the light play off it.

Saragos says to Tirost, "So, you bring up two concerns. Regarding Daervlan, the various worthies of this world have left us to solve things on our own. So I'm inclined to do that, and beg forgiveness later. If Daervlan wants to come out and tell us not to, I'll listen. Otherwise it's full steam ahead. Regarding the risk of the Heralds getting at Zengmodaleth... I suppose that's a reasonable concern."

Kitosaki snorts, loudly.

Ryeka winks.

Kitosaki stands up.

Crobin says, "]Elu I think that and having holy sorcery cast at him as well."

Ryeka sheathes her uthamar mace.

Crobin sighs.

Elurora pats Crobin on the back.

Crobin says to Elurora, "I think that and having holy sorcery cast at him as well."

Elurora asks Crobin, "Just keep casting uncurse at him?"

Kitosaki rubs his hands together.

Elurora looks at Crobin, obviously trying not to grin.

Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.

Crobin says to Elurora, "Uncurse, protection from evil, things like that."

Elurora nods to Crobin.

Ezerak ponders.

Kitosaki asks, "War stomping?"

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

Elurora says to Kitosaki, "I think we'll point your at the drakes."

Elurora flashes a wide grin at Kitosaki.

Kitosaki bounces around happily.

Ryeka chuckles.

Imroth says, "Take him to the Pith and push him off the path."

Casari says, "I'd like to see an Empath try to change him back to what he was. He wasn't as strong then, so maybe the connection was weaker then."

Crobin says, "I can help with the drakes as well."

Saragos asks Tirost, "I guess the question is whether it's worth the risk? Personally, I feel like Zengmodaleth is something that they're not going to want to mess with. It's part of the mana replenishment cycle. They should be afraid of what WE could do there, in my view. Do you disagree?"

Madigan says, "That is also assuming the Baron will allow you to attempt to stow away someone in Therengia that has caused so much pain and harm on the world. I find that unlikely if he takes an interest in the project."

Tirost says to Saragos, "I would assume he's as busy with matters as we are. If there are other options, I think exploring those first would be better than pointing the Heralds towards an ocean of energy, in case it is something they can use for whatever started this in the first place."

Crobin nods to Kitosaki.

Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Aerilia says, "I worry any effort to hide Asildu will doom him. We can't know how far reaching The Herald's gaze is, so I'd assume they can reach all the same far-off places that we can."

Zalinyar bats her eyes at Vaddon.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Nooobody cares about any Barons!"

Saragos nods.

Traim nods to Madigan.

Ezerak asks, "Would taking him off of the plane even do anything for us? What makes us so certain that the Heralds cannot access the other planes just as easily as this one?"

Lexxa points up.

Madigan gets a mug of roasted coffee from inside his traveler's pack.

Elurora nods to Ezerak.

Lexxa says, "They are right there."

Ezerak says, "Or even easier."

Aerilia nods to Ezerak.

Elurora says to Ezerak, "I'd think they could since we already know they traveled planes before."

(Zalinyar reaches out towards the villager and takes a step forward, a scowl on her face)

Zynell asks, "Do you expect immortal interventions in Zengmodaleth? or would this be after severing his ties?"

Saragos asks, "Well, if we don't bring Asildu off-plane, my best advice would be to take him to a shrine of the Immortals and work quickly. Perhaps Damaris?"

Ezerak nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Valynn ponders.

Illiya says to Aerilia, "He might be doomed if we do nothing as well."

Madigan nods to Saragos.

Zalinyar makes a hissing noise that doesn't really sound much like a S'Kra Mur.

Kitosaki scratches his head.

Madigan says, "And, cast a metric ton of sorcery."

Crobin smiles.

Saragos nods to Madigan.

Angel smiles at Madigan.

Zynell says, "You would be welcome at the Dark Grove."

Crobin says, "I think Damaris would be willing to watch from the shadows and help where he can."

Zynell nods to Saragos.

Lexxa shakes her head at Madigan.

Crobin nods to Zynell.

Traim says, "There it is. The hammer solution."

Gragnel nods.

Aerilia says to Illiya, "Oh, I agree. I'm just saying, I don't think we can hide him while we prepare something. We need to be ready to act immeciately, whatever our plan winds up being."

Gragnel exclaims, "Praise Damaris!"

Ryeka nods.

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kitosaki gets an oversized kertig maul capped with a viciously sharp warklin impaler from inside his weapon harness.

Kitosaki gives an oversized kertig maul capped with a viciously sharp warklin impaler a hug!

Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Tirost asks Saragos, "What about the lunar observatory?"

Zalinyar curtsies.

Primal Lady Zalinyar drifts southwest.

Mazilyn ponders.

Kitosaki sheathes his kertig maul.

Leayne nods to Crobin.

Eyst asks, "Has there been any indication from the Immortals that they have an interest in forgiving Asildu, or wresting him back from the Heralds?"

Saragos says to Tirost, "The Observatory requires the right rings to get there, and we won't be able to babysit Asildu through the process of making it there in the first place. He's not exactly together."

Elurora slowly says, "Would just taking him to holy ground maybe help? I don't know how it works with Heralds, but it sure makes Necromancers hotfooted."

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Mazilyn says, "I think Truffenyi can work anywhere with or without his specific altar."

Mazilyn nods.

Saragos says, "I just don't think that's feasible."

Illiya says to Eyst, "That part we're not sure about yet as it has not been attempted."

Saragos says, "Ok, let me do a quick poll to get people's opinions. Raise your hands if you like the option."

Gragnel cocks his head at Saragos.

Imroth says, "Immortals are stronger on hallowed ground."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Saragos asks, "Who thinks we should bring Asildu to a shrine, possibly of Damaris to hide him while we work?"

Gragnel nods at Imroth, obviously agreeing with his views.

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

Kitosaki shrugs.

Mazilyn raises her hand.

Traim raises his hand.

Gragnel raises his hand.

Crobin raises his hand.

Ryeka raises her hand.

Tirost raises his hand.

Aerilia raises her hand.

Zynell raises her hand.

Elurora raises her hand.

Sylni raises her hand.

Mistanna raises her hand.

Leayne raises her hand.

Sukidesu raises his hand.

Gragnel exclaims, "Praise Damaris!"

Couri raises her hand.

Lexxa raises her hand.

Traim puts his deck in his tokka case.

Kitosaki says, "Whatever the villagers say."

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Xips ponders.

Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Ruea raises an eyebrow.

Illiya asks, "What would we be working on in this case?"

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Imroth chuckles at Illiya.

Dantia chuckles.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I say we should cast more sorcery and let him stay a puddle forever!"

Saragos says to Illiya, "Severing the connection."

Madigan looks at Dantia and shrugs.

Saragos asks, "Ok, and who thinks bringing him to Zengmodaleth is better?"

Eyst raises his hand.

Aeldrik raises his hand.

Kitosaki says, "I don't even know who zengomodtghaouy uggg.. thats too long a name."

Kitosaki blanches.

Illiya grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.

Gragnel chuckles at Kitosaki.

Crobin nods to Kitosaki.

Ryeka grins at Kitosaki, her dimples flashing into view.

Couri gives Kitosaki a gentle poke in the ribs.

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Crobin says to Kitosaki, "Z-spot."

Saragos says, "Ok, so there seems to be pretty broad agreement on a shrine."

Dantia puts her reserve in her soft shadows.

Leayne shakes her head at Crobin.

Illiya says, "I think a shrine is as safe a place as any for him, if there is any safe place for him."

Imroth asks, "Why not the big temple?"

Eyst says, "Surely being removed from the plane entirely must be a greater degree of separation from the Heralds."

Aerilia nods to Illiya.

The Prydaen villager says, "I don't either, Kitosaki."

Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.

Kerennya says to Kitosaki, "Plane of Electricity."

The Prydaen villager says, "You are my spirit animal."

Kitosaki asks, "So... take him to shrine to make big puddle..?"

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Yes!"

Primal Lady Zalinyar just arrived.

Zalinyar takes her rightful place beside Vaddon.

Zalinyar leans back against Vaddon with a loving smile.

Ruea raises an eyebrow.

Zalinyar gently kisses Vaddon on the cheek.

Saragos asks, "Let's move on to how to sever his connection to the Heralds. To start out with, we'll need to make sure to play the song that he was playing that helped him to regain his sanity. Any Bards here that heard the song?"

Vaddon smiles at Zalinyar.

Saragos asks, "Well, heard the song and felt like they could give a stab at replicating it?"

Casari says, "Worth a shot."

Ryeka ponders.

Illiya asks, "Was it Albreda's Balm?"

Casari says, "Kind of."

Ryeka nods to Casari.

Madigan nods to Illiya.

Saragos shakes his head at Illiya.

Angel asks Saragos, "If we are not a Warrior Mage, do we need one to escort us into Zengmodaleth?"

Gragnel nods to Illiya.

Karthor says, "Albreda's Even Balmier Balm, methinks."

Saragos says, "It wasn't one I heard of."

Saragos says to Angel, "No."

Angel gives a slight nod.

Imroth asks, "Was it Don't Bring Me Down?"

Illiya gives Imroth a playful poke in the ribs.

Gragnel bops Imroth over the head.

Kitosaki says, "Umm i made up a song about how to cook Tog Soup... could change the words to Tog puddle soup."

Kitosaki ponders.

Aerilia puts her glass in her leather backpack.

Kitosaki grins at a Prydaen villager.

The Prydaen villager asks, "Himm, is Asildu a Tog?"

Leayne laughs!

Unaka chuckles.

Elurora looks at a Prydaen villager and shakes her head.

Ryeka chuckles.

Unaka says, "No."

Angel says to Saragos, "Can mana be managed safer there than here at a shrine? Those are the things I would be thinking when choosing a place."

Illiya says, "Asildu is a Human."

Aerilia says, "Formerly human."

Gragnel says, "Ish."

Illiya says, "Kind of.."

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Formerly Human soup!"

Kitosaki says, "Smaller than Tog soup."

Saragos says, "Ok, so, I would highly recommend getting Asildu to help us in playing the song for him if we get a chance."

Gragnel nods to Illiya.

Kitosaki studies the ground for a moment.

Illiya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Couri says, "Aye, not sure what he be now."

Kitosaki makes a disgusting grunting noise.

Saragos says to Angel, "I don't know what you mean by mana managed more safely."

Casari says, "Worth trying to make him Human again, if someone can do it. Might lessen their grip on him."

Saragos nods to Casari.

Lady of Frostbite Siendra just arrived.

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

Karthor nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu waves to Siendra.

Kerennya waves to Siendra.

Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.

The Prydaen villager says, "I think it'll lessen their grip if we leave him in soup form."

Illiya lays her hand on Siendra's arm.

Siendra hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Siendra beams at Illiya!

Siendra hugs Sukidesu, who wraps his arms around Siendra with a warm smile.

Kitosaki points at a Prydaen villager.

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Elurora hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Elurora with a warm smile.

Sukidesu hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Sukidesu with a warm smile.

Siendra smiles at Kerennya.

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

Kitosaki says, "Im all about the villagers."

Siendra hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return.

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

Gragnel says, "What matters is there is a soul in there. One that appears to be trying to fight for control. That is what we should promote or encourage."

A Prydaen villager bows gracefully, then dances a rather graceful ballroom pose.

Angel says to Saragos, "Being able to cast magic, or be limited to certain magic. I have been there many years ago, with Mazrian leading if I recal correctly. I just don't recall the abilities to use all mana types."

Ryeka nods to Gragnel.

Lexxa asks, "It was a deminstartion to what they could do to each of us?"

Tirost says to Angel, "It's more or less the same as on this plane, though there is a massive engine of some kind called the Holder of Storms there, and a huge resivior of energy - so much, that focusing on the structure will blind a magic user."

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

Couri says, "I think the artifacts need ta be researched."

Tirost hugs Siendra, who wraps her arms around Tirost with a warm smile.

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Zalinyar frowns.

Siendra smiles.

Saragos asks, "Ok, so who has ideas on how to sever Asildu's connection to the Heralds? I liked Avrenka's idea, expressed through Couri, of dealing with the artifacts. If we get the chance, I think our best bet is to ask Asildu directly about them. I also think just blasting him with Sorcery is... decent, but kind of a brute force method. Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Mazilyn raises her hand.

Saragos nods to Couri.

Wearing a thoughtful expression, Kitosaki wipes a bit of slobber from his mouth.

Saragos asks Mazilyn, "Yes?"

Couri nods to Saragos.

Angel gives Tirost a slight nod.

Ezerak says, "I do not think he will agree to anything if sorcery is involved."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Mazilyn says, "Ive been workin on an immortal approach with Truffenyi's help and a really big quill."

Mazilyn holds a sleek fishtail oak writing quill tipped with a long baby blue plume high into the air for all to see.

Gragnel nods to Mazilyn.

Sukidesu asks, "I'm curious...have any empaths been able to...make contact with him since he became less human?"

Tirost grins at Siendra.

Kitosaki says, "I have this idea brewing..."

Saragos says to Ezerak, "Possible."

Gragnel says, "It's such a lovely quill, too."

Zalinyar says, "So use magic, use guild magic, don't use magic, dont use your own guild's magic. Big question. Kind of like... eat bread, don't eat bread. Drink ale, don't drink ale."

Imroth says, "What are the artifacts? I must have missed that part."

Mazilyn says, "So i have some ritual and words prepared."

Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!

Aerilia nods to Sukidesu.

Siendra beams at Tirost!

Elurora quietly says, "Magical holy scissors."

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Ezerak says, "He is still very anti-sorcery."

The Prydaen villager asks, "What is your idea, Kitosaki?"

Karthor says, "The one Casari mentioned about tryin' to revert him to human form sounds like the perfect nail to my Empathic hammer. But that might just be me."

Sukidesu ponders.

Ezerak says, "Even when lucid."

Angel leans on Zalinyar.

Lexxa asks, "If they don't like sorcery, what if he cast it? Wouldn't it make sense that they would give up the host if it's feeding them what they don't want to eat?"

Angel gazes at her fingernails.

Tirost nods to Ezerak.

Aerilia says to Sukidesu, "Apparently he feels like any normal person, empathy-wise."

Kitosaki asks, "Um is bacon or ham better?"

Lexxa asks, "Drink?"

Kitosaki grins at a Prydaen villager.

Lexxa says, "Whatever."

Zalinyar smiles at Angel, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Vaddon takes a sip of his rum.

Zalinyar hugs Angel, who wraps her arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile.

Couri says, "He said he were researchin artifacts and that how the Heralds pulled him in."

Traim says, "Sovereign Destiny has the effect of tearing one from their place in the web. Is it worth the damage it might cause? Debatable."

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

The Prydaen villager says, "Definitely bacon."

Saragos says to Imroth, "Asildu mentioned studying artifacts of the Heralds when he first appeared as the beginning of his journey to having a connection with them. That might be something significant that we can work with, or it might be nothing. We haven't really investigated that so far."

Leayne giggles.

Imroth asks, "Have we seen these artifacts?"

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Elurora says, "I think if we don't want the Heralds finding him, it might be best to avoid sorcery since it seems to bring their notice."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kitosaki says, "Okay for reals..."

Traim nods to Elurora.

Couri exclaims, "We need ta find out which ones!"

Casari nods to Elurora.

Lenko nudges his jay and its wings curl forward and cover its head as if embarrassed.

Saragos says to Imroth, "Not to my knowledge."

Illiya says, "Asildu mentioned that the reason he may be tied to the research and artifacts that he has come into contact with over the years. I personally did not interpret that to mean specific artifacts, although Avrenka did."

Ezerak nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Unaka gets a gold-edged ivory parchment from inside her thick satchel.

Ezerak says to Elurora, "Another good point."

Saragos nods to Illiya.

Illiya says, "Pardon me, tied to the Heralds."

Mazilyn says to Gragnel, "Maybe you can help me work Damaris into it if we are gonna be at his altar."

Aerilia says, "Anything to do with the artifacts will probably take too long to figure out, is my feeling."

Elurora smiles at Ezerak.

Ryeka blinks.

Unaka says, "Avrenka wrote to me, Perhaps if we can search, find and destroy artifacts that Asildu had come in contact with, we might disrupt the Heraldic connection."

Valynn nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Unaka puts her parchment in her thick satchel.

Kitosaki says, "What if you cleric types and empaths or what not get together and make some blessing for weapons or some such that can put a real hurt onto these heralds. Beseech the Gods for help on this and do what they say."

Madigan takes a sip of his coffee.

Ruea rolls her eyes.

Tirost gazes thoughtfully at Unaka.

Ryeka nods to Kitosaki.

Siendra bows to Gridaksma.

Elurora gazes at Unaka.

Leayne ponders blessing weapons

Ryeka says, "Kertigen does have a powerful blessing for weapons."

Elurora asks Unaka, "The trouble is, how do we even know where to start looking?"

Casari asks, "Finding artifacts seems like a thread, but do we have time to go find something that apparently no one but Asildu has ever found? Did he leave them in a room upstairs?"

Imroth asks, "Do we have any sort of lead about what these "artifact" could be and where to find them?"

Kitosaki exclaims, "Then we go call out dez hereadly du bad guys and gals and give em whats for!"

Saragos says to Kitosaki, "That's more of a 'fight the Heralds' idea, which I'm all for. But right now we're talking about trying to free Asildu, if we can."

Unaka says, "I think someone suggested asking Asildu. Seems straightforward enough."

Couri shakes her head at Imroth.

Kitosaki says, "Make lots of puddles sort out latter."

Unaka looks at Elurora and shrugs.

The Prydaen villager says, "So much effort for formerly human soup."

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Sir Madigan goes southwest.

Saragos asks, "Is there anywhere Asildu has been that we might leave a message for him? Any ideas?"

Tirost says, "If he tells us where he saw or handled the artifacts, that would give us a start. The problem is, he's working with limited time, and they will be watching him more closely than ever, I'd imagine."

Elurora asks, "Wasn't he staying here?"

Illiya asks, "Gaethrend's?"

Illiya nods to Elurora.

Elurora nods to Illiya.

Mistanna says, "More like jam. It happens to Moonmages not infrequently."

Karthor says, "Trouble with askin' him is that if he's lucid enough to answer, it's probly his last chance to exist already."

Imroth says, "Well if we had those or knew where to look that would be a great start. Sort of sounds like a rumor at this point."

Saragos says, "Some people have spent a lot more time around him than I have."

Karthor nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.

Gragnel says, "I think that we're only going to find more about these so-called "artifacts" is by getting him somewhere safe, which brings in the suggestion for Damaris' altar as a place of secrecy. Of course I support this. But, again, it might be the only way we can ever find out more from him directly without influence."

Kitosaki chuckles at Mistanna.

Zalinyar grumbles.

Saragos says to Illiya, "He has been here, it's trye."

Saragos clears his throat.

Saragos says, "True."

Sir Madigan just arrived.

Dantia touches Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.

Tirost nods to Gragnel.

Madigan moves into position to block attacks against Dantia!

Kitosaki scratches his head.

Gragnel says, "All we have are questions. More and more of them."

Valynn folds her arms across her chest.

Elurora grins at Gragnel.

Dantia joins Madigan's group.

Sukidesu says, "It's been that since day one."

Kerennya takes a sip of her wine.

Eyst gives a slight nod.

Imroth asks, "He just stays at the inn??"

Tirost glances at Valynn.

Sukidesu sighs.

Zalinyar says, "I have spent so much time hunting for, researching, looking for, getting killed over artifacts."

A tear runs down Zalinyar's face.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki says, "I don't know... listening to talking puddles is kinda where I draw the line. Too creepy for me."

Leayne nods to Zalinyar.

Gragnel snickers at Zalinyar.

Kitosaki drools.

Vaddon rubs Zalinyar's back.

Ryeka pats Zalinyar on the back.

Elurora gestures.
She twiddles her fingers at the green banner.
The green banner bobs and shudders for a moment.

Illiya says, "He used to stay here, not sure where he is staying now."

Gragnel asks Zalinyar, "Why not more? ey?"

Gragnel grins at Zalinyar.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Yes, creepy!"

Zalinyar sticks out her tongue at Gragnel and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbt" from her lips!

Crobin pats Unaka on the back.

Kitosaki grunts at a Prydaen villager.

Imroth nods to Illiya.

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Imroth says, "I hope they kicked him out after he turned into an evil bush."

Gragnel snorts at Imroth.

The Prydaen villager says, "We should leave the puddle and cast more sorcery."

Gragnel asks, "He did do that. Didn't he?"

Gragnel chuckles.

Zalinyar says to Gragnel, "You go spend your sniffles in those musty dusty libraries."

Siendra nibbles on her fingers contemplatively.

Zalinyar folds her arms across her chest.

Ryeka ponders.

Zalinyar snorts, loudly.

Kitosaki exclaims, "Ooh set the bush on fire then!"

Gragnel grins at Zalinyar.

Unaka says to Saragos, "Avrenka also wrote to me about another idea about severing the connection. I don't mind sharing when you're ready."

The Prydaen villager says, "Puddles are not worth saving, they're too moist."

Zalinyar nods to Kitosaki.

Zalinyar applauds.

Saragos asks, "Ok, let's set the artifacts aside for a moment. We can try to leave a message for Asildu, see if he can let us know, or ask him in person if we get the chance. Are there any other ideas for breaking the connection? I was wondering if there might be something an Empath might be able to do. Asildu said that the Heralds were making him angry... maybe we could trace the source of the anger?"

Zalinyar gets a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames from inside her firesilk backpack.

Zalinyar applauds.

Saragos says to Unaka, "Go ahead."

Couri beams at Unaka!

Unaka nods.

Unaka gets a gold-edged ivory parchment from inside her thick satchel.

Kitosaki tries to eat a battered leather battle cloak painted with the crest of the Barbarians' Guild.

Valynn gazes at Unaka.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki gnaws on his lip.

Elurora rubs her head.

Unaka says, "Here's what he wrote. Keep in mind this is Avrenka's idea and not mine."

Looking ravenous, a lengthy bit of drool dribbles from Kitosaki's mouth. Gross!

Kitosaki nods to Unaka.

Siendra gazes at Unaka.

Unaka says, "Avrenka wrote, In the recent past, I can think of two instances of a person being possessed by a great extra-planar entity, and were liberated from said influence. Lyras from the Hunger, and Ciriasa from Maelshyve."

Elurora shifts her weight.

Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Unaka says, "In the case of Lyras, who was a legendary Lich empowered by some entity known as "the Hunger", an extreme Empathy-based attack was used to defeat her. I've heard rumors that Empathy and Necromancy are somehow linked -- so it would make sense to me that Empathy was used to counter Lyras' lichdom."

Ryeka nods to Unaka.

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Unaka says, "The case of Ciriasa, who appeared to be possessed by a demon known as "Maelshyve", is even more interesting to me. From descriptions I've gathered from First Herald reports of the time, she seemed to exhibit major demonic corruption in both her physical appearance and in her mind. Yet she was restored back to her normal Human self by use of special alchemic vials thrown at her, created by the legendary Philosopher necromancer Osven. This also would make sense to me -- that a Redeemed necromancer's purifying magic could be used to counter and purge demonic influence."

Tirost nods to Siendra.

The Prydaen villager says, "I'm pretty sure necromancy doesn't exist."

Dantia takes a sip of her reserve.

Ryeka says, "Years ago, some friends and I found research about a link between life magic and necromancy."

A pained expression crosses Tirost's face.

Saragos says, "I think I need to chat with Avrenka more often. That's all correct."

Elurora quietly asks, "There was a vial used against Lyras too. Don't suppose anyone has any of them leftover?"

Ryeka says, "It seems necromancy is life mana turned inside out."

Saragos grins crookedly.

Illiya chuckles.

Miraeven quietly says, "Frankly, I still maintain sending Asildu to the Void has only favorable outcomes. It's Urrem-tier's domain, and the closest Asildu will come to the Immortals. They can choose to retore the life, free of Heraldic connection...or not, in which case, the pawn has been removed and a mercy has been done. No scavenger hunt required."

Elurora flashes a quick grin.

Karthor says, "Oy, that's rich comin' from somethin' undead."

Karthor exclaims to the villager, "You jolthead! Die!"

Unaka says, "That's it. Then he goes on to write about the artifact idea."

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I beg your pardon, your face is undead!"

Saragos says to Miraeven, "I think that's a fine idea, if we fail otherwise."

Karthor rolls his eyes.

Saragos nods to Miraeven.

Couri beams at Unaka!

Gridaksma says, "It wasn't just the empathy attack on Lyras, but that was a major part in the complete destruction."

Tirost says to Saragos, "Though Ciriasa did not survive..."

Eyst frowns.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Unaka puts her parchment in her thick satchel.

Tirost says, "And Osven is lost to us."

Ryeka nods to Gridaksma.

(Crobin laces his fingers with Leayne's)

Casari says, "I'm not sure survival is the priority, given what the Heralds can do."

Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

The Prydaen villager says, "OK. We sacrifice Casari for the pudle."

Vaddon rubs Zalinyar's back.

Elurora asks Gridaksma, "Didn't the Empath suffer from a loss of their empathy at least for a bit?"

Saragos says to Tirost, "She did not, it's true. But if anyone knows anything about surviving the breaking of an extraplanar connection, it's a Redeemed."

Elurora frowns at a Prydaen villager.

Maraisel sighs.

Couri nods to Elurora.

(Zalinyar scowls at the villager)

Ryeka nods to Elurora.

Couri says, "Both did."

Kitosaki says, "Hmm... I did a lot during the wars with Lyras but don't think I have anything left but old scars and some well used weapons."

Gridaksma nods to Elurora.

Illiya asks, "Why don't we sacrifice a random villager that nobody knows or has seen before?"

Elurora nods to Couri.

Imroth asks, "Didn't Ciriasa get pummelled by the people long after Maelshyve released her?"

Dantia chuckles at Illiya.

Leayne grins at Illiya, her dimples flashing into view.

Couri nods to Imroth.

Imroth nods.

Kitosaki gasps at Illiya!

Madigan grins at Illiya.

Angel chuckles at Illiya.

Valynn grins at Illiya.

Vaddon asks, "The Law?"

Couri says, "They sacrificed fer the better of the world."

Zalinyar praises Illiya.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Kitosaki asks, "The little peeps are who we are tyring to save are they not?"

Tirost says to Saragos, "We could speak to Briaen, or..."

Angel says to Illiya, "There are a few we could do that to."

Imroth says, "Watch that one happen again with Asildu."

Imroth smirks.

Illiya dimples at Angel.

Saragos says to Imroth, "The short version of the story is that Ciriasa was beating us to pieces until we landed some vials. We tried to revive her after we subdued her, but failed, and then her body was stolen."

Dantia smiles at Madigan.

Kitosaki drools.

The bargirl places Gragnel's silver wine on the pinewood bar.

Gridaksma says, "So alchemy was used in both of the examples given."

Gragnel gets a tall glass of silver wine from atop a glistening pinewood bar.

Eyst says, "It may be worth pointing out, simply for clarity's sake, that the contribution of Osven to the vanquishing of Maelshyve has no relation to the talents of one of the redeemed. So far as I know."

Saragos says to Tirost, "Briaen is the only Redeemed I know of."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Couri says, "Necromantic."

Gragnel tilts his silver wine side to side, making the light play off it.

Imroth says, "The way I heard it was there was... many, many attacks after she was downed and released and people even said as much."

Lady of the Watch Dantia goes southwest.

Kitosaki shudders.

Kitosaki says, "Bad times that was."

Eyst says, "If one were to call upon the redeemed I expect you'd be more likely left with a pile of ashes than a whole human."

Kitosaki says, "Crowds going round burning folks just for accusations."

The Prydaen villager says, "Well - we already have a puddle..."

Kitosaki grunts at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki grins stupidly.

Saragos says to Imroth, "I was there. It was more like an incredibly chaotic battle where some people didn't realize that the vials had taken effect. I'm not even certain that stopping in time was possible."

Zalinyar grumbles.

Imroth says, "He went from bush to swamp."

A night-black monkey with bright red eyes screeches loudly as it wildly darts around a Prydaen villager on all fours, tail lashing behind it.

Kitosaki laughs at Imroth.

Imroth nods to Saragos.

Mazilyn sighs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Shush monkey, I'll eat you!"

Kitosaki nods to Saragos.

Kitosaki reaches for the night-black monkey, but backs away warily when it smacks his hand away with its outstretched hand.

Kitosaki gives a night-black monkey with bright red eyes a hug!

Zalinyar quietly says to Vaddon, "Hun, I'm about to..."

Saragos says to Eyst, "Might be. We'd have to talk to him."

Zalinyar sighs.

Zalinyar shakes her head.

Vaddon sighs.

Angel raises an eyebrow.

Saragos asks, "Ok. So let's sum up our ideas so far. We've got one to try the artifacts. We've got another to use a Redeemed, possibly alongside an Empath, and we've got blasting Asildu with Sorcery in hopes of damaging the connection. Are there any other ideas?"

Lexxa asks, "Have him pray?"

Saragos nods to Lexxa.

Elurora grins at Lexxa.

Imroth nods to Lexxa.

Kerennya asks, "Has shifting been mentioned as way to try to return him to some form of normalcy?"

Kitosaki asks, "Tog farts do wonders to stop people?"

Illiya says, "That's a good one."

Zalinyar groans.

Casari nods to Kerennya.

Mazilyn beams at Gragnel!

Ryeka says, "Cast vigil on him before you do anything else- That would keep him connected to The Immortals."

Imroth says, "Yeah, let's maybe put this in his hands."

Karthor says to Kerennya, "A few times, but methinks it keeps gettin' lost in the shuffle."

Karthor chuckles.

Gridaksma nods to a weasel skeleton.

Saragos says, "I suggested that to him at the time, and he was of the opinion that his connection to the Heralds needed to be broken first."

Imroth says, "And the Immortals."

Sukidesu nods.

Angel ponders.

Imroth rolls his eyes.

Zalinyar waggles her fingers mystically at the villager. The villager isn't too impressed, really.

Kitosaki asks, "Well how did he um make a connection to the Herald whatnots... do the opposite then?"

Saragos says, "I like the idea of shifting... or at least exploring him Empathically."

Unaka says, "Avrenka's idea was sorcery, plus axes, plus Immortals."

Zalinyar sticks out her tongue at a Prydaen villager and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbt" from her lips!

Tirost asks Unaka, "May I ask if your gut tells you this is worth the time and effort to focus on Asildu? Or should we focus on supporting the Immortals against the Heralds, as the fastest way to break the connection?"

Kitosaki nods to Tirost.

Unaka fixes Tirost with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Illiya asks Saragos, "What do you mean by exploring him Empathically?"

Zalinyar scowls at Vaddon.

Madigan raises an eyebrow in Unaka's direction.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Kitosaki says, "Well when one mama empath loves a daddy empath..."

Leayne takes a sip of her sherry.

Sukidesu bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.

Lexxa begins chortling at Kitosaki.

Imroth grins.

Eyst says to Saragos, "I personally like the idea of going for the Herald's connection to the fellow. I just expect it may be much too late for such a plan to bear fruit. I expect only direct intervention on the fellows soul, from some source inimical to the Heralds should suffice. Naturally most would say this would be from the Immortals, but I don't think other supernatural benefactors should be discounted. Perhaps Valenal or Liraxes might have something to contribute from their extraplanar spehres of influence."

Kitosaki drools.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "You get a whole lot of touching!"

Kitosaki laughs at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki nods.

Saragos says to Illiya, "I don't know. I'm not an Empath, but maybe if you had a link to him, you might be able to search out the source of the anger he's feeling that fills him, and get more information on how to combat it."

Aerilia ponders.

Imroth nods to Eyst.

Unaka slowly says to Tirost, "I don't know, really. We should definitely support the Immortals, but it seems like it's in people's hearts to forgive this man, and that's worth considering deeply."

Imroth exclaims, "Princess Aswampdu needs saving from the big bad Heralds!"

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Karthor says, "I'm quite sure the heralds 'emselves would be the source o' that anger. The connection does sound sort of empathic in nature, so maybe there'd be some way to...usurp it? Divert it? Somethin'."

Zalinyar seriously asks Unaka, "Meeting or two ago, you wanted to keep going on with visions, but were ushered away, because those present were afraid you would die. My question is were you truly willing to give your life to find the anser to fix all this, or was it all just another Paladin Ploy?"

Imroth scoffs.

Karthor scratches his head.

Ryeka nods to Karthor.

Vaddon glances at Zalinyar.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Sukidesu says, "I wonder if something like a Circle of Sympathy would work..."

Sukidesu ponders.

Mazilyn says, "We could make him an unbonding rose for him."

Kitosaki says, "Who was most wronged by this guy? Ask them if we should try saving the puddle."

Casari laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Illiya says, "For note, I did link Empathically to Asildu but didn't perceive anything out of the ordinary in him. Perhaps a more concerted effort would be different though."

Saragos blinks at Zalinyar.

Zalinyar gives Vaddon a gentle poke in the ribs.

Zalinyar folds her arms across her chest.

Zalinyar inhales a great swallow of air.

Unaka says to Tirost, "I think now is the perfect time for me to watch as you all decide how and what you will do with Asildu."

Zalinyar nods.

Vaddon scoffs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I'm willing to let her die!"

Unaka fixes Zalinyar with a heavy, ponderous stare.

Saragos asks Zalinyar, "Paladin ploy?"

Traim grins wryly.

Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms.

Zalinyar nods.

Elurora gazes off into the distance.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel lets out a long sigh of relief.

Kitosaki's eyes go dreamy and he begins to drool.

Traim says, "Sneakiest of them all, those paladins."

Traim squints at Madigan.

Doctor Leilanie just arrived.

Siendra pats Elurora on the back.

Mazilyn beams at Leilanie!

Ryeka grins at Traim, her dimples flashing into view.

Mistanna chuckles.

Mistanna hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

A Prydaen villager gazes about with a calm look on her face.

Leilanie hugs Mistanna, who wraps her arms around Leilanie with a warm smile.

Madigan smiles.

Unaka says to Zalinyar, "A Paladin is a Protector. And a Paladin is Honest."

With a friendly smile, Zynell holds Leilanie's hand.

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Siendra.

Zynell hugs Leilanie, who wraps her arms around Zynell with a warm smile.

Elurora nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu leans to his left slightly.

Vaddon nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Sukidesu leans to his right slightly.

Zalinyar chuckles.

Leilanie hugs Zynell, getting a smile in return.

Vaddon stares deeply into Zalinyar's eyes.

Crobin hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return.

Sukidesu takes a seat near a glistening pinewood bar.

Kolja just arrived.

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

Leayne smiles at Leilanie, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Madigan says, "The Code."

Illiya smiles at Unaka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Madigan nods in agreement.

Zynell perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Kolja.

Karthor says to Illiya, "A focused effort with multiple empaths might help, ya could be onto somethin' there. All o' the links. And Heart Links. Ground him in civilization as much as possible, or somesuch."

Vaddon nods at Madigan, obviously agreeing with his views.

Unaka says, "Yes, I would have died finding the answers, if you all had needed me to."

Kolja nods to Zynell.

Zalinyar asks, "Sarc THat's the code, right?"

Ruea slips away, disappearing with a soft laugh and a hint of violets.

Zalinyar coughs.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "We definitely need answers, die away!"

Vaddon nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Saragos glances at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki says, "I've known a few Paladins and watched them die protecting others besides me. They didn't break once even under certain death. That is something worth fighting for and I respect that. Though yeah... they can be tricky sneaky actually."

Zalinyar smiles at Kitosaki, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Aerilia says to Saragos, "I'm in favor of dragging Asildu to Truffenyi's altar and having him beg for forgiveness while we do.. everything? Pray with him, cast sorcery, make a dozen empathic links. If we can weaken his connection at all, that may be all They need."

Vaddon cocks his head.

Saragos nods to Aerilia.

Imroth glances at a Prydaen villager.

Zalinyar says to Kitosaki, "Blessed are thou for that."

Mazilyn nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Zalinyar smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

With a graceful flutter of her hands, Zalinyar sinks down in a formal curtsy.

Saragos says, "Ok, let's come up with some actionable tasks."

Siendra looks at Elurora, obviously trying not to grin.

Primal Lady Zalinyar drifts southwest.

Elurora glances at Siendra.

Tirost says to Unaka, "I will admit that I can understand Imroth and others' point of view. I am happy to help Asildu as a secondary objective to bringing stability to the plane, but I have no desire to draw the Heralds' attention to Zengmodaleth, or become distracted with Asildu, if it means the Heralds reign longer in our skies."

Elurora chuckles.

Saragos says, "If we want to try to make this happen, we'."

Saragos clears his throat.

Kitosaki says to Aerilia, "That makes sense to me."

Kitosaki shrugs.

Siendra giggles at Elurora.

Unaka nods to Tirost.

Angel says, "I wonder if there is any magic on Asildu that can be broken off, or if protecting his mind would be helpful as he is doing whatever it is we decided to do."

Imroth smiles.

Madigan says, "Tirost correctly expresses the position of the Watch in this matter."

Gragnel says, "Once again, of course I'm in favor of doing any secret stuff at Damaris altar; I do feel that bringing him closer to the Immortals is the same as pulling him away from the Heralds. We should do this before anything else if we're to get any answers."

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Gragnel glares at a glass.

Saragos asks, "If we want to try to make this happen, we're going to have to try to get the people to try these different tasks together at the same time. Father Gragnel, since you're a priest of Damaris, would you be willing to perform a blessing to try to hide us when it's time?"

Gragnel sighs.

Gragnel puts his glass in his bag.

Unaka says to Tirost, "Well, don't decide based on my instinct. But since you asked, I don't think it would hurt the Immortals' fight if you all wanted to forgive Asildu. Not unless you made a really big misstep in the process."

Sukidesu coughs.

Mathematician Avrenka just arrived.

Tirost nods to Unaka.

Zynell giggles at Gragnel.

Gragnel says, "I would, but also I have knowledge that another has prepared something already."

Couri raises her hands skyward, chanting.

Avrenka breathlessly says, "Hello."

Gragnel gestures at Mazilyn.

Aerilia waves to Avrenka.

Mistanna waves to Avrenka.

Avrenka waves.

Madigan says, "Pardon me friends."

Saragos says to Avrenka, "Hey, you arrived. Good to see you, love your ideas."

Leayne dimples at Avrenka.

The Prydaen villager says, "Misstep... into a puddle."

Couri joins Avrenka's group.

Kerennya waves to Avrenka.

Madigan raises his hand in a quick salute.

Crobin shakes Avrenka's hand.

Ryeka smiles acr

Sir Madigan goes southwest.

Illiya lets out a hearty cheer for Avrenka!

Unaka grins at Avrenka.

Avrenka bows to Saragos.

Ryeka blinks.

Elurora bows to Avrenka.

Avrenka shakes Crobin's hand.

Ryeka smiles at Avrenka, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Avrenka waves.

Mazilyn says, "I do, but it aint for hiding."

Couri smiles captivatingly at Avrenka.

Saragos asks, "]gragnel Who has prepared something?"

Avrenka gazes down at the floor.

Unaka says to Avrenka, "Hey. Got your letter."

Lexxa raises her hand in a quick salute.

Illiya says to Avrenka, "We've been talking about you all night."

Avrenka says to Unaka, "Excellent."

Gragnel says, "Mazilyn is already preparing to beseech Truffenyi, I would have no problem adding to what she already has."

Mazilyn waves to Saragos.

Avrenka bows to Illiya.

Saragos nods to Mazilyn.

Saragos says, "Ok."

Defense Coordinator Lexxa strides southwest.

Angel smiles at Avrenka.

Unaka smiles at Mazilyn.

Mazilyn says, "Whole thing... Quill helpped."

Valiant Vaddon strides northwest.

Mazilyn points at a sleek fishtail oak writing quill tipped with a long baby blue plume she has.

Aerilia smiles at Mazilyn.

Valiant Vaddon just arrived.

Valiant Vaddon strides southwest.

Gragnel says to Mazilyn, "It is a lovely quill."

Mazilyn giggles.

Gragnel nods to Mazilyn.

Couri beams at Mazilyn!

Mazilyn beams!

Illiya asks, "Should it take place at Damaris' or Truffenyi's altar?"

Mistanna nods at Mazilyn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Angel whispers something to Avrenka.

Kitosaki asks, "Hmm anyone consider that perhaps the heralds are listeing to us... maybe using a spy?"

Kitosaki casually observes the area.

Angel smiles at Avrenka.

Angel nods to Avrenka.

The Prydaen villager says, "Honestly, I hope so."

Gragnel says, "Truffenyi's commune can be done nearly anywhere."

The Prydaen villager says, "I want to see what they do when we cast sorcery."

Mazilyn says, "Either, Truffenyi can work where we are."

Couri says, "Nae surprised if'n they nae listenin."

Casari says, "If the idea is to hide him, and if an Immortal is going to do something helpful, then Damaris seems like the one."

Elurora nods to Casari.

Aerilia says to Illiya, "I think They would have more strength in the temple proper, but I defer to the clerics."

Gragnel says, "So I would vote for Damaris altar for the secrecy, then the actions are more sure to succeed in my eyes."

Imroth nods to Aerilia.

Gragnel exclaims, "But again, praise Him!"

Valynn nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Kitosaki opens his mouth wide as a thunderous belch rolls up from the pit of his stomach.

Kitosaki blushes a deep green color.

Traim says, "If there's one thing extra-planar entities tend to have in common in my experience, it's arrogance. It would not surprise me if they do not listen because they simply do not think they need to."

Zynell says to Gragnel, "You and i can prepare the grove for such a thing."

Imroth asks, "Why not the main altar?"

Elurora gives Traim a slight nod.

Imroth clears his throat.

Elurora quietly says to Traim, "Like we don't listen to ants."

Traim says, "And they may be right."

Elurora gazes down at the floor.

Ezerak says, "Or perhaps they're a bit busy."

Gragnel asks Imroth, "Scenery?"

Traim nods to Elurora.

Ezerak points up.

Valynn gives Elurora a wry grin.

Kitosaki scans the area briefly.

Imroth shrugs.

Unaka nods to Ezerak.

Tirost nods to Kolja.

Elurora slowly says to Valynn, "Most of us anyway."

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Valynn.

Gragnel says, "There is a holy bath right next to the grove altar."

Traim grins at Valynn.

Valynn begins chortling at Elurora.

Gragnel says, "Might prove useful as well."

Ryeka nods to Gragnel.

The black dog begins to watch the goings on carefully.

Saragos says, "So let me summarize what we've come up with, so everyone understands. We try to get Asildu to a shrine of the Immortals, and invoke Their blessing to hide him. In that time, we cast whatever spells we think will help on him - PFE, Sanctuary on the area. Then, we have four things we want to try. Have a Redeemed work with him, have an Empath see if they can find his connection to the Heralds through a link, explore the artifacts as a way to break the connection, and channel Sorcerous mana into him. Hopefully one of those will allow us to break the connection so that he can repent to the Immortals."

Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.

Saragos asks, "Does that sound right to everyone?"

Imroth says, "I don't think I will help anyway. Asildu has to show he deserves help."

Illiya pets the black dog.

Avrenka nods.

Couri nods to Saragos.

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Valynn takes a sip of her reserve.

Aerilia nods to Saragos.

Unaka says to Saragos, "Avrenka also mentioned axes."

Leayne nods to Saragos.

Avrenka ducks his head.

Unaka glances at Avrenka.

Tirost stares intently at a black dog for a moment.

Avrenka clears his throat.

Saragos says to Imroth, "Fair. I don't care about what he deserves. I care about taking one of the Heralds' tools off the table."

Tirost pets the black dog.

Sukidesu glances at Avrenka.

Kitosaki says, "And smash, bash, swing, guzzle puddle."

Gragnel says to Unaka, "He meant mauls."

Karthor says, "There's a "try to turn the tree back into a human" bit in there on the empathic end, but that sounds like the gist of it."

Gragnel smirks at Unaka.

Leilanie pets the black dog.

Avrenka hesitantly says, "Yes ... axes ... may not need that."

Unaka grins at Gragnel.

Ryeka nods to Saragos.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Yes, Kitosaki!"

Saragos asks Avrenka, "I'm sorry, I must have missed that in everything. Axes?"

Imroth nods to Saragos.

Angel says to Saragos, "I would be scrutinizing his aura as well, to see what magical spells might be lingering on him."

Avrenka ducks his head.

Kitosaki grins.

Siendra pets the black dog.

Saragos nods to Angel.

Kitosaki draws forth a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade.

Gragnel gives Angel a slight nod.

Ryeka nods to Angel.

Illiya says, "The axes were used to free the clans."

Kitosaki pats a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Oh, that's a beautiful axe!"

Elurora quietly says to Imroth, "I believe most people deserve a chance to change if they show they want to, which he does seem to be doing."

Illiya says, "The ones we threw at the encasements."

Kitosaki nods to a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki gives a massive Dwarven greataxe with a bearded silversteel blade a hug!

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I bet it makes the best puddles!"

Kitosaki exclaims, "Sometimes not even a puddle left!"

Crobin ponders.

Gragnel says, "Again, there is a soul in there fighting for control. That much is obvious."

Gragnel nods.

Saragos asks Illiya, "Was there something special about those axes?"

Kitosaki cackles deep in his throat, his voice rising in chilling laughter.

Eyst asks, "Rather boils down to tossing Asildu at the Immortal's mercy and hoping for the best doesn't it?"

Siendra leans on Tirost.

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "I am in awe of your greatness!"

Illiya says to Saragos, "I don't believe so."

Aerilia nods to Eyst.

Avrenka says, "We may need some physical tools to help the process along ... always good to have a backup."

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Angel just fed a crunchy familiar treat to a black dog.

Kitosaki blinks at Avrenka.

Kitosaki squints.

Saragos asks, "So is the idea with the axes just to try to chop off the vines and stuff that cover Asildu?"

Unaka says to Saragos, "They were just used to chop the vines up I think."

Avrenka looks at Kitosaki and shrugs.

Saragos nods to Unaka.

Kitosaki says, "Sure sure."

Mazilyn asks, "Do we have any idea when we might get this chance or how long we have to plan?"

Saragos says, "Ok."

Valynn whispers something to Imroth.

Casari says, "That's his body, now. Doesn't sound productive."

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Kitosaki asks, "Can't hold it against me if I miss and an ear is lost or two though right?"

The Prydaen villager exclaims, "Shush dog, I'll eat you too!"

Ezerak nods at Casari, obviously agreeing with her views.

Siendra appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Illiya says, "We might end up hurting Asildu if we're not careful."

Kitosaki says, "I'm sure we will get over it."

Kitosaki snorts, loudly.

The black dog growls, "Shut it."

Angel nods to a black dog.

Tirost says to Illiya, "Hard to think it'd be worse than what the Heralds' have inflicted on him."

Kitosaki pets the black dog.

Siendra says, "I don't think we can hurt him anymore than he has been..."

Imroth nods to Valynn.

Elurora quietly asks Illiya, "There is a chance we may kill him trying this, I guess the question becomes is it better for him to die free or held by the Heralds?"

Illiya says to Tirost, "Well, it's not as if he hasn't died before either."

Tirost nods to Illiya.

Kitosaki says, "Death by puddle always better than slavery."

The Prydaen villager asks, "I think it's best for him to die so... does it really matter?"

Gragnel says, "We may not have the chance on the next time we see him, the hope I think would be to somehow communicate to him when we are ready and pray that he is there."

Leilanie gives Kitosaki a slight nod.

Avrenka says, "Also, in the case of Maelshyve and the Hunger being evicted from their host ... there was a pretty big fight involved. We may need to be ready to restrain him by force."

Angel smiles at the Prydaen villager and repeats death by puddle.

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Mazilyn nods to Gragnel.

Illiya gets an iced cocktail glass of Black Widow bacon whiskey from inside her encompassing shadows.

Gragnel says, "I don't feel this is something that can be done simply at the drop of a hat."

Saragos says, "OOC: I don't have a way to say this IC, even though I hate talking this way. IMO, OOC we should try to get something placed on the calendar when we're ready to attract him, and shoot our shot, and if not just wait for Asildu to show up and give it a shot."

Gragnel says, "And I don't wear hats."

Angel just fed a crunchy familiar treat to a black dog.

Gragnel grins at Mazilyn.

Kitosaki ducks his head.

Maraisel frowns.

Angel puts her lens in her lotusweave bag.

Saragos asks Avrenka, "Before we do anything, I think it's worth trying to get a message to Asildu about the artifacts ahead of time. Is that something you'd be willing to pursue?"

Valynn quietly says to Imroth, "I suspect there will be no hearts and hugs."

Kitosaki sheathes his Dwarven greataxe.

You wince as a black dog barks loudly at a Prydaen villager.

Avrenka ponders.

Couri says, "We will."

Imroth says to Valynn, "I am not quite sure what the plan is, actually."

Valynn pours herself an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve from her flask.

Aerilia says to Avrenka, "Probably wherever the drakes roost."

Ezerak says, "Same as it gets to the rest of us, I suppose. Those Rundmolen brothers will do anything for a few gold."

Tirost says to Gragnel, "Appreciate you and Zynell being willing to give this a try. I have seen the Immortals respond to your efforts, and it is likely Asildu's best chance to be free, whether he walks the Starry Road, or on this plane a while longer."

Rienth grins at Ezerak.

Gragnel says to Saragos, "Those of the faith stand ready to assist. Once again, Trueffenyi teaches us of mercy and forgiveness."

Kitosaki says to Imroth, "Umm it was do stuff.. wiggle fingers... smash with big axe pretend accident when ears bleed."

Zynell nods to Tirost.

Mazilyn perks up her ears, glancing around alertly.

Avrenka nods to Saragos.

Looking ravenous, a lengthy bit of drool dribbles from Kitosaki's mouth. Gross!

Siendra says to Tirost, "Pang is perfect, shush."

Tirost laughs!

Tirost smiles at Siendra.

Leayne leans back against Crobin with a loving smile.

Kitosaki stretches his arms.

Saragos says, "Ok, Avrenka is going to work on contacting Asildu. We'll give that a little bit of time to work. I'm going to see if I can convince Briaen or another Redeemed, if any know of one, to make this attempt."

Eyst asks, "Are we merely trying to get Asildu in a place at a certain time, or is more communication needed?"

Tirost nods to Saragos.

Illiya says, "I think we're trying to get a head start on the artifacts."

Aerilia gets a mug of mocha coffee from inside her leather backpack.

Mazilyn ponders.

Kitosaki opens his battle cloak.

Saragos says, "For the rest, I can take responsibility for trying to schedule an attempt with a vigil to the Immortals with our Clerics here. If that doesn't work, I think those who happen to be present when Asildu pops up again should just do their best with what we've discussed."

Kitosaki closes his battle cloak.

Zynell says, "We have vigils scheduled for the next three weeks."

Gragnel says to Saragos, "I am flexible, as are the others with enough notice."

Unaka says, "It's nothing huge. But I've been meditating on the question of getting back into the Null Prison and... I think I might have something. Still needs work though."

Rienth says, "And disruptive."

Kitosaki grumbles.

Illiya grins at Rienth, her dimples flashing into view.

Kitosaki scans the area briefly.

Saragos says, "I don't want to leave anyone stuck in that place. And I'm... personally invested in continuing to solve that puzzle that I couldn't solve before. Would be nice to be able to rescue any others of us they stick in the Null Prison."

Unaka says, "Well, it seems to help when you all are praying, especially to Truffenyi. Might be there's more you could do on that front, something that's not prayer, but you'd have to figure that one out."

Saragos nods to Unaka.

Avrenka ponders.

Illiya takes a sip of her whiskey.
