Event Instance: Prime

• Holy Guardian Unaka joins the adventure.

Your body below the waist is dripping with water. Pools of it are forming all around you. [General] Your mind hears Unaka thinking, "Did somebody say Togball?" [General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "Heyas Unaka!" [General] Your mind hears Comfrin thinking, "Does that make Crowsfeet the Belle of the ball? Rhadyn claims ownership?" [General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "yes yes, togball! Teams forming now!" [General] Your mind hears Nawain thinking, "Oh! Unaka! Come see us in the cleric's guild, we're talking about holy things!" [General] Your mind hears Unaka thinking, "Hey there. Wow. I have to choose between the gods and Togball? This is hard." [General] Your mind hears Nawain thinking, "We have snacks."

[General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "bring togball to Unaka!"

[General] Your mind hears Crowfeet thinking, "Snacks usually win!"

[General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "hooligans usually win" [General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "steer clear of Rhadyn's beard, friend Unaka. Don't want fleas" [General] Your mind hears Rhadyn thinking, "Stompers ALWAYS win" [General] Your mind hears Aaiyaah thinking, "Unaka, we have amassed quite a gathering in the cleric guild if you would please join us?" [General] Your mind hears Heartsfyre thinking, "eww" [General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "my rock!" [General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "which cleric guild?" [General] Your mind hears Heartsfyre thinking, "double eww"

[General] Your mind hears Aaiyaah thinking, "We are in the Crossing cleric guild, Cythra...come join us"

[General] Your mind hears Nawain thinking, "The Crossing one, Cythra" [General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "nae tells me, tell Unaka" [General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "THE Cythra presence is requested!" [Clerics' Guild, Gathering Hall] Pallets of clean rush-filled linens lie about the perimeter of the long hall, available for the bodies of fallen souls in need of healing or new spirit. The open beam ceiling admits light from frosted glass gable windows -- a soothing light spills over the dark stone floor. Although bloodstains upon the floor attest to both death defeated and souls lost, this is a place of gathering to celebrate life and respect death, where clerics come together to work and to exchange information and inspiration. You also see a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom with several things on it, a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood, a disposal bin, a wash basin and a porcelain water pitcher. Also here: Black Fox Xionara who has a stony visage, Vaerek, Veteran Apprentice Anuril who has a fiery visage, Court Advisor Aaiyaah, Perune, Bioenchantress Allye who is haloed by ethereal lotus and gladiolus blooms dancing in a gentle breeze, Undying Satekne who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Knight of Meraud Tirost who is surrounded by seven circling blades of ice, Knight Penitent Briaen who is surrounded by a corona of fiery light, Heart Tender Kethrai, Godspeaker Harsh who is sitting, Light of the World Gwenddolyn who is surrounded by a corona of fiery light, Totally Befuddled Felicini who is surrounded by a corona of fiery light, Valynn, Thinker Couri, Healer Leilanie, Mageling Aerilia, Exalted Monk Maintain who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Primal Lady Zalinyar, Peace Keeper Vaddon, Reverend Gragnel, Elemental Aegis Tekhelet who is sheathed in an aura of crackling electricity, Blessed of Katamba Laureh, Sister Severei, Pilgrim Nawain who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Jecala, Fearless Crobin, Lord Knight Hebion and Desert Dancer Zersha.

Allye giggles at Felicini. Felicini grins like an idiot. Gragnel says to Vaerek, "That would be wonderful, he is a good sort." Nawain says to Maintain, "I suspect we can begin. They'll join if they are able." Maintain nods to Nawain. [General] Your mind hears Cythra thinking, "learn disappointment" Vaerek nods to Gragnel. Allye nods at Felicini, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain quietly says, "And there just isn't enough time to wait, these days." Felicini grins. Nawain shifts her weight. Gragnel nods to Nawain. Xionara beams at Felicini! Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Nawain reverently lays her prayer mat at her feet, smoothing out its corners.

Crobin pats Anuril on the back. Anuril flails his arms about. Nawain beams at Unaka! Harsh stands up. Maintain says, "In this unlearned monk's recent experience, he has been most concerned by the feeling that the Font of Creation is somehow being denied the metaphysical sunlight it requires to bloom. But that is a larger existential problem related to the strength of the Immortals' connection with us in the wake of this Wild Magic disruption." Maintain pauses, turning towards Nawain for confirmation. "This one hopes the other Holy practitioners have experiences of a similar nature, or else he must grow more concerned." Nawain waves to Unaka. Harsh bows to Unaka. Gwenddolyn grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Severei waves to Unaka. Unaka waves. Xionara flashes a wide grin. Maintain bows to Unaka.

Tirost smiles at Heartsfyre. Unaka takes a moment to nod to those she knows, smiling and making greetings. Harsh smiles. Jecala begins to dance, her eyes tightly shut and her head thrown back.

Unaka asks, "I uh, heard there were snacks?" Felicini points at a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom on the floor. Maintain says to Nawain, "This humble monk was less uncertain of you. He was merely leaving room for clerics who do not have our own...unique racial practices influencing their understandings." Xionara beams at Gwenddolyn! Briaen moves a Berengaria harvest apple to his right hand. Heartsfyre winks at Tirost. Kethrai points at a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom on the floor. Kethrai nods to Unaka. Nawain taps a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom.

Nawain nods to Unaka. Allye giggles at Unaka. Harsh offers Unaka a shot of Black Road whiskey. Zersha points at a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom on the floor. Harsh quietly says, "And drinks too." Unaka slowly says, "But no Togball." Harsh nods. Heartsfyre gives Harsh a gentle smooch on the cheek. Valynn motions toward a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Unaka accepts Harsh's Black Road whiskey. Jecala dances; a perfect, beautiful creation that ends with deft grace. Unaka guzzles down some of her whiskey and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve. Unaka gasps and chokes as her face takes on a bright reddish hue! Felicini gets a plush mutant togball with bulging eyes from inside her feyweave pouch. Heartsfyre hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Heartsfyre with a warm smile. Harsh applauds. Xionara softly exclaims, "Still deciding teams!" Felicini rubs a plush mutant togball with bulging eyes. Nawain asks Unaka, "We could start a togball game after, maybe?" Heartsfyre says, "Sorry im slow." Xionara laughs at Malorna. Crobin says, "Very good to see you Heartsie." Felicini puts her togball in her feyweave pouch. Heartsfyre chuckles. Malorna grins at Xionara. Kethrai assumes a rigid stance, concentrating on something. Unaka nods. Tirost quietly asks Harsh, "...was that whiskey?" Xionara flashes a wide grin.

Unaka nods to Maintain. Crobin asks, "But have you asked if they would like it or not?" Aaiyaah hugs Heartsfyre, who wraps her arms around Aaiyaah with a warm smile. Xionara gazes at Unaka. Nawain nods in agreement. Unaka says, "Ah, yeah. This place isn't really the place for it." Anuril gets a blackwood pipe painted with a ring of fire around the bowl from inside his silk backpack. Valynn whispers something to Aaiyaah. Harsh quietly asks, "I doubt i can conjure another on demand though, brandy do?" Harsh gazes at Tirost. Anuril puts his tobacco in his blackwood pipe. Maintain says, "...but he will admit it is nostalgic to see so many in this hall again. Like the stories my father used to tell." Nawain takes a sip of her brandy.

Nawain praises Unaka. Aaiyaah whispers something to Valynn. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Xionara softly asks Unaka, "Oh? Do know places?" Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Maintain says, "Ah, continuing...this lowly monk has also seen many other impacts related to Wild Magic. The benevolent and the malevolent. In the interest of leaning towards the more interesting subjects, this humble one would direct the discussion towards the malign outcomes." Xionara gazes at Unaka. Nawain takes a sip of her brandy. Valynn grins at Aaiyaah. Nawain hiccups. Leilanie gets a fluted glass of bubbly peach cocktail sparkling with edible silver glitter from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Xionara angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Valynn pats Aaiyaah on the back. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Felicini guzzles down some of her tea and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve. Felicini takes a sip of her tea. Tirost gazes at Maintain. Unaka asks Xionara, "Yeah, a few. But maybe I'm supposed to listen to that guy right now?" Gragnel gives Maintain a slight nod. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Aaiyaah says to Unaka, "I hope you received my missive for the upcoming meeting later this week. I do hope you can attend." Allye gazes at Maintain. Xionara softly says to Unaka, "Hrm. No, think that guy should be listening to yourself." Tirost jumps back a few feet and lands on his rump, looking dazed! Gwenddolyn chuckles at Heartsfyre. Xionara smiles at Maintain. Tirost rubs his head. Leilanie takes a sip of her cocktail. Tirost stands up. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Crobin asks, "Good brandy?" Maintain says, "In the regular practice of magic, this clumsy monk has found all magic driven from the area, leaving it devoid of ambient mana. In this negligent one's experience, this anti-magic nexus is accompanied by the sound of shattering glass. As yet, he has discovered no glass, shattered or otherwise, and suspects this is metaphysical symbolism in play." Gragnel glances at Xionara. Unaka chuckles at Xionara. Maintain glances at Nawain. Crobin angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Tirost. Xionara flashes a wide grin at Unaka. Jecala takes a sip of her ale. Tirost haggardly says to Crobin, "A little strong."

Tirost gets a burnished silversteel tankard crowned with laurel leaves from inside his sling bag. Rileos scratches distractedly at his beard. Felicini gazes at Maintain. Maintain asks Nawain, "As this forgetful monk can recall, Sister Nawain has confirmed similar experience. Has anyone noted different sounds or indications for this?" Valynn gazes at Maintain. Nawain says to Maintain, "Consecrating a space with Meraud's glory prevents that particular consquence of casting." Raising his silversteel tankard to Rileos, Tirost gives him a toast. Xionara nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Rileos says, "You ever get lost in a guild this small? This is a new low." Harsh gives Rileos a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles. Tirost flips open the lid on his silversteel tankard. Heartsfyre grins. Maintain nods to Nawain. Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "I like to take things slow." Allye nods to Nawain. Aaiyaah nods to Unaka. Zersha grins at Rileos, her dimples flashing into view. Heartsfyre laughs at Rileos. Anuril smirks at Rileos. Nawain cheerfully says, "And also really annoys necromancers. So we should do it alot." Venturist Ciarelle just arrived. Xionara softly says to Unaka, "Be nice break for yourself until all questions come your way." Xionara chuckles. Jecala grins at Nawain, her dimples flashing into view. Maintain says to Nawain, "An excellent observation. Meraud's blessing does shield us somewhat." Valynn looks at Rileos, obviously trying not to grin. Unaka nods to Xionara. Unaka says, "Lotta questions. I understand." Darinilor just arrived. Xionara nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Valynn begins chortling at Nawain. Coob just arrived. Maintain says, "This inadequate monk has also encountered the mana surges, and even absorbed them on a few occasions. While he cannot be certain of the long-term consequences of such, there have been no apparent short term negatives to doing this. But this poor monk notes that his instincts have long urged him not to attempt such with the larger mana surges." Life's Enforcer Karthor just arrived. Anuril puffs away on his blackwood pipe. Felicini gets a mammoth hunk of grilled pound cake stuffed with berries and fluffy whipped cream from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Karthor raises his hand in a quick salute. Gragnel says, "Ive experienced much of what I hear others speak of. Glass. Stretching and pulling sensations..." Felicini hugs Karthor, getting a smile in return. Karthor gasps! Tirost nods amiably at Karthor. Karthor waves to Felicini. Allye nods to Gragnel. Heartsfyre hugs Karthor, getting a smile in return.

Maintain says to Gragnel, "Disconcerting in the moment, but reassuring in a way that the revered brother's experience is not dissimilar." Nawain says to Maintain, "I've gathered up some surges and fed them directly into.. things. It's a fascinating experience, and brings loads of mana to bear for.. things." Karthor says to Aaiyaah, "Hm, "a" special guest" Ya've got all the guests." Karthor grins at Aaiyaah. Gragnel gives Maintain a slight nod. Maintain gazes at Nawain. Aaiyaah grins at Karthor. Nawain beams at Maintain! Jecala puts on a pilgrim's badge. Aaiyaah shakes Karthor's hand. Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Nawain. Forgiven Numinor just arrived.

Gwenddolyn grins at Karthor, her dimples flashing into view. Hyena Stalker Sozinho just arrived. Maintain says to Nawain, "Would the revered sister be willing to elaborate? This unworthy monk admits he has been busy with his own personal research and, well, probably did not look so deeply at the surges as perhaps he should have." Numinor nods to Briaen. Karthor waves to Gwenddolyn. Briaen nods graciously at Numinor, giving her a polite smile. Aaiyaah whispers something to Karthor. Rileos flashes a quick grin at Valynn. Nawain ponders.

Zersha takes a tiny bite of an airy lavender fairy floss cloud spangled with edible silver glitter and chews daintily on it. Unaka gets a red velvet cupcake topped by a swirl of fluffy cream cheese icing from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Nawain says to Maintain, "Well, err... There's some people who are inhabiting Arhat's Tower, and casting quite a bit, just casually. And I keep... err. Grabbing up the vortexes, and feeding them into my.. Into... Uhh. Party decoractions." A pained expression crosses Nawain's face. Heartsfyre ponders. Karthor whispers something to Aaiyaah. Nawain rubs her head. Godspeaker Harsh just arrived. Harsh sighs. Nawain gazes upward. Nawain mutters to herself. Maintain nods to Nawain. Unaka takes a bite of the cupcake. Perune chuckles. Xionara begins chortling at Nawain. Darinilor quirks one ear sideways in confusion.

Leilanie smiles at Harsh. Heartsfyre grins at Harsh. Maintain asks Nawain, "Understandable." Maintain glances at the crowd in the hall. "Has anyone else experimented with these mana surges?" Unaka rubs her head. Nawain whispers something to Maintain. Valynn gazes at Maintain. Nawain says to Unaka, "Oh, yes. Saragos is planning a party. A big one. For some nobles. And he needs... party decorations." Karthor says, "Experimented? I just cast somethin' at 'em to get rid o' the pesky things." Malorna peers quizzically at Harsh. Nawain winces. Aerilia says, "My magic tends to be a lot.. faster and more powerful in the moments after absorbing one. I'm sure everyone's noticed that." Unaka says, "Oh, nice." Gwenddolyn chuckles at Nawain. Maintain nods to Karthor. Unaka says, "I love parties." Gragnel says, "I've only encountered a few, which were handled by another before I could begin to look into it." Allye nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views. Urbaj nods to Aerilia. Nawain nods to Unaka. Unaka takes a bite of the cupcake. Maintain asks Karthor, "Has the benefactor observed any unusual reactions then?" Nawain says to Unaka, "It's a secret, though. A surprise party, y'know? So shh." Vaerek gets an enormous forest-green Enelne lollipop covered in iridescent sugar crystals from inside his treasureweave cylinder. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.

Harsh jumps back from Crowfeet! Crowfeet pants. Unaka messily gobbles down a red velvet cupcake topped by a swirl of fluffy cream cheese icing. Harsh just hugged Crowfeet. Crowfeet sweeps a white-plumed captain's hat of fine black felt off her head and in front of her in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time. Felicini smiles at Crowfeet. Crowfeet just hugged Harsh. Crobin says, "Be right back." Heartsfyre grins at Crowfeet. Fearless Crobin saunters out. Maintain says to Karthor, "That has been this unlearned monk's experience as well. But he does wonder if the right spell might get the wrong reaction." Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Maintain says, "Say Finally, this unworthy one has observed others be affected by something they have termed as mana burn. It is this unlearned monk's shame that he has no first hand experience with this impact of Wild Magic, so he will have to rely on others' experiences." Karthor says to Maintain, "Now there's an interestin' idea. I normally go with Lethargy since it's quick an' not very mana-intensive." Nawain says, "What's interesting is that those surges seem to be manipulatable by anyone who can handle magic, regardless of which spells generated it." Maintain nods to Karthor. Unaka nods to Nawain. Leilanie says to Maintain, "I wish you wouldn't speak so lowly of yourself. You are plenty worthy." Maintain says to Karthor, "A worthy research direction, this humble one believes. He will have to rely on the efforts of others in that, however." Aaiyaah nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Maintain smiles at Leilanie. Gragnel says to Leilanie, "His humility is inspiring." Gragnel nods. Karthor nods to Maintain. Leilanie smiles at Gragnel. Kethrai says, "What I've noticed is that absorbing the mana surges also gives a sense of... well, some of the same negative emotions as the earlier aggressive effects had. Greed, mostly." Fearless Crobin's group just arrived. Leayne waves. Leayne softly says, "Hello." Aaiyaah grins at Leayne. Maintain says to Leilanie, "This fortunate one has made many mistakes and through the grace of the Gods is permitted to serve." Aaiyaah hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Aaiyaah with a warm smile. Kethrai says, "I've mostly stuck to using spells against them when I can." Harsh hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Harsh with a warm smile. Councilor Elizzibiana just arrived. Jecala waves to Leayne. Malorna beams at Aaiyaah! Crowfeet waves. Leayne just hugged Harsh. Tirost smiles at Leayne. Unaka furrows her brow. Felicini waves to Leayne. Xionara hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Xionara with a warm smile. Leayne hugs Tirost, who wraps his arms around Leayne with a warm smile. Pack Brother Ghust just arrived. Xionara leans over to give Leayne a friendly smooch. Leilanie smiles at Maintain.

Severei says, "I've had a friend get knocked over by them on just pulses of her Faenella's Grace spell." Ghust waves to Xionara. Nawain says to Ciarelle, "Nothing all that clear these days. Those without much training in Sorcery can take the things apart or feed it into a spell just as easily as a master spellworker." Maintain smiles at Unaka. Allye hugs Xionara, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile. Felicini grins. Xionara hugs Ghust, getting a smile in return. Harsh nods to Severei. Leilanie nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Briaen slowly empties his lungs. Harsh quietly says, "They do knock me over sometimes at the absolute worst moment." Leayne stands near Crobin. Severei nods to Harsh. Leilanie grins at Harsh. Zalinyar hugs Xionara, who wraps her arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile. Unaka says, "Mistakes are how we learn." Iraise says, "I harness them with no effect except they disappear." Karthor nods at Harsh, obviously agreeing with his views. Nawain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Ghust quietly asks, "So why exactly ARE we gathered here?" Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Ciarelle says to Nawain, "That's a fair point. I mean they seem to be all kinds of mana tangled up together." Nawain says to Ghust, "To talk." Leilanie takes a sip of her cocktail. Darinilor says to Ghust, "I just followed the crowd." Ghust nods. Nawain nods to Ciarelle. Ghust quietly says, "Good reasons." Harsh raises his hand. Maintain says to Unaka, "It is this lowly monk's burdens to bear this scar." He points at the scar over his left eye. "He has vowed greater humility as a means of penitence." Aaiyaah whispers something to Valynn. Ciarelle asks Nawain, "Maybe... pull one of the threads into a spell or something, rest of the knot unravels?" Ale Beard Rhadyn just arrived. Unaka nods to Maintain. Crobin says, "Rhadyn you old dwarf." Briaen nods at Maintain, obviously agreeing with his views. Heartsfyre tweaks Rhadyn's nose! Rileos says to Unaka, "Speakin of mistakes, surprised I ain't met ya before now. It's nice to hear some sanity." Valynn smiles at Aaiyaah. Rhadyn just nudged Crobin. Gwenddolyn grins at Rhadyn, her dimples flashing into view. Xionara nods to Zalinyar. Crobin laughs! Valynn nods at Aaiyaah, obviously agreeing with his views. Heartsfyre exclaims, "Ooh ooh!" Unaka shakes Rileos's hand. Heartsfyre hugs Rhadyn, getting a smile in return. Crobin gives Rhadyn a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles. Heartsfyre hugs Rhadyn, getting a smile in return. Xionara beams at Zalinyar! Harsh quietly says, "I will say, I have not noticed these surges from any of my sorcerous casts. I do seem to attract quite a few surges when employing divine radiance as a quick target spell." Crowfeet covers her ears with her hands. Malorna hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Malorna with a warm smile. Rileos flashes a quick grin at Unaka. Rhadyn gruffly says, "What's all this fingah wagglin' brew haha." Heartsfyre strikes a heroic pose. Ghust quietly says to Rhadyn, "Ah aint rescuin no more people today." Unaka says to Rileos, "Pleased to meet you. I'm Unaka." Maintain gazes at Harsh. Harsh waggles his fingers mystically at Rhadyn. How nice. Nawain nods to Harsh. Rhadyn snorts at Heartsfyre. Karthor gestures. Karthor's cambrinth armband emits a loud *snap*. Karthor closes his eyes for a moment and grows still. Heartsfyre laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Rhadyn. Nawain waggles her fingers mystically at Rhadyn. How nice. Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Harsh. Crobin looks at Rhadyn and shrugs. Rileos says to Unaka, "Rileos Shaw, pleasure is all mine, darlin." Rhadyn softly says to Heartsfyre, "Bully." Tirost grins at Rhadyn. Crobin says, "I am not sure, I can't make heads or tails of it." Rhadyn glances at Heartsfyre and tugs his beard nervously as sweat breaks out on his brow. He looks like he would prefer it if Heartsfyre was a block of stone. Heartsfyre says, "I am." Heartsfyre nods in agreement. Maintain says to Harsh, "That is insightful, revered brother Harsh. This blind monk had not realized that." Gragnel says, "I've been leaning away from any of my own spellcasting and focusing more on the communion I keep with the Immortals." Crobin stands near Leayne. Ghust hugs Heartsfyre, who wraps her arms around Ghust with a warm smile. Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms. Ghust quietly says, "Hi mom." Crobin waves to Ghust. Heartsfyre hugs Ghust, who wraps his arms around Heartsfyre with a warm smile. Harsh smiles at Maintain. Ghust waves to Crobin. Jecala chants solemnly, "May Be'ort's gaze not fall upon your love, nor his ire upon your family. Do not offend him, lest you die in anguish, madness and pain." Valynn grins at Rileos. Heartsfyre says, "Hey hey." Aaiyaah gets some cinnamon-sugar almonds from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Aaiyaah examines some cinnamon-sugar almonds. Jecala takes off a pilgrim's badge. Zakarii grumbles ominously, "May Ushnish's ire not focus on me, nor on my family, that disease and famine may pass us by. May he spare our town from his wrath, lest lava flow and floods strike down." Tirost raises his tankard, drinking deeply from the Dwarven ale inside. Aaiyaah puts his almonds in his silk backpack. Iraise says, "I get the surges when casting non sorcerous buffs. They steal my mana, I harness surge, and they disappear." Ciarelle says to Rhadyn, "Well, let's see... basically someone or someones apparently finger waggled too hard and now finger waggling doesn't work right anymore." Leayne smiles at Felicini, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Rhadyn gets a horn of Dwarven challenger's stout from inside his utility belt. Rhadyn tilts his head back and guzzles down a horn of Dwarven challenger's stout! Whoa, someone better tell him to slow down! Maintain nods to Iraise. Allye nods to Iraise. Xionara waggles her fingers mystically at Ciarelle. How nice. Tirost chuckles at Ciarelle. Felicini smiles at Leayne. Xionara ponders. Ciarelle laughs at Xionara. Jecala quietly says, "Too hard or not enough." Crowfeet says, "It works, it's just weird. They should call it Weird Magic." Heartsfyre says, "Its cause Rhadyns beard got in the way of things." Xionara flashes a wide grin at Ciarelle. Xionara tilts her ears forward playfully. Heartsfyre nods. Ciarelle nods at Jecala, obviously agreeing with her views. Ciarelle curtsies to Tirost. Maintain smiles at Crowfeet. Leilanie takes a sip of her cocktail. Tirost chuckles. The tobacco in Anuril's blackwood pipe goes out and crumbles away. Leilanie nods at Couri, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain takes a sip of her brandy. Felicini grins at Heartsfyre. Anuril puts his tobacco in his blackwood pipe. Nawain hiccups. Tekhelet yawns expansively. Anuril touches some Warm Night tobacco with a glowing finger, and it quickly catches fire. Malorna pats Numinor on the back. Nawain leans back against Tekhelet with a loving smile. Maintain says to Crowfeet, "This amused monk tends to agree with the benefactor, but it is properly titled Wild magic he is told." Tekhelet rubs his neck. Maintain glances at Nawain. Darinilor bows her head and chants a prayer. Severei begins to dance, her eyes tightly shut and her head thrown back. Nawain nods. Saecred just arrived. Ciarelle says, "I don't pretend to understand what went wrong or why or how to fix it, I just do magic sometimes, I never pretended to understand how it works, beyond the most basic level." Crowfeet chuckles at Maintain. Crowfeet gives a slight nod. Gwenddolyn nods to Numinor. Severei dances, seeking the attentions of her deity. Numinor bows her head, acknowledging Gwenddolyn. Crowfeet fidgets nervously. Leilanie takes a sip of her cocktail. Severei dances a flawless pattern that concludes with her standing quietly in the center of the room. Severei looks up and sighs, smiling. Allye raises her hand. Leilanie takes a sip of her cocktail. Severei stands up. Ciarelle quietly says, "I got oxen on my caravan, doesn't mean I know how an ox works well enough to fix it if it breaks." Zersha takes a tiny bite of an airy lavender fairy floss cloud spangled with edible silver glitter and chews daintily on it. Zersha finishes off her floss cloud. Harsh quietly asks, "But i bet you know enough to keep your head clear of the carts wheels yes?" Harsh smiles. Harsh gazes at Couri. Nawain chuckles. Couri blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Xionara chortles softly at some secret joke. Gragnel smirks at Harsh. Leilanie appears to be trying hard not to grin. Heartsfyre says, "Should get goats. they eat everything." Heartsfyre nods. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Leayne grins, revealing her dimples. Aerilia nods to Heartsfyre. Xionara nods at Heartsfyre, obviously agreeing with her views. Leilanie pats Couri on the back. Maintain says to Nawain, "This lowly monk believes we should move on to discussing the Font of Creation." He turns back toward the crowd. "He understands that delving into the subject of extraplanar power might be too much for some. Your participation is appreciated if the benefactors and revered friends would like to depart." Crobin leans back against Leayne with a loving smile. Nawain nods to Maintain. Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Ciarelle brightly exclaims to Harsh, "You'd be surprised how good an analogy that is, and how often Traders manage to somehow get injured by our own caravans!" Elizzibiana pokes her finger at a diminutive goat pin. Citizen Miraeven just arrived. Xionara leans back. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Anuril puffs away on his blackwood pipe. Allye grins at Ciarelle. Crowfeet waves to Miraeven. Xionara softly says, "Oh? Try myself." Rileos runs his fingers through his hair. Tirost says to Maintain, "With your permission, I will stay. This sounds very interesting." Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Numinor begins chortling at Xionara. Ciarelle nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Maintain smiles at Tirost. Numinor says, "Challenge accepted." Unaka asks, "You want us to go?" Felicini just hugged Elizzibiana. Crowfeet asks, "Where are we going?" Darinilor says, "I'm lost anyway. Might as well stay and enjoy the sandwich." Maintain says to Tirost, "All are welcome. Some just don't want to think of such things." Maintain shakes his head at Unaka. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Xionara softly says to Unaka, "No no.. just... badly worded and bit insulting for those gathered." Xionara coughs. Xionara coughs. Xionara clears her throat. Unaka shrugs. Heartsfyre blinks. Nawain says, "Talking about esoteric holy concepts can be boring to some." Nawain chuckles. Ghust takes a sip of his coffee. Elizzibiana just hugged Felicini. Aaiyaah nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views. Maintain says, "It is this unworthy monk's understanding that the Font of Creation is a metaphysical construct. He is ashamed to admit that while planar interactions are a matter of metaphysics, the concepts of metaphysical constructions are a topic perhaps better aimed at certain Moon Mages or even Traders. Were he forced to speculate, he would be forced to call it the source of the Immortals' power. A construct from which the anointed can occasionally draw power. When a cleric calls for and receives divine intervention, as an example." Crowfeet nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Ciarelle says to Xionara, "I did just say I don't understand even how my own magic works, hard to insult me." Nawain says, "Just like I find myself falling asleep any time the Moon mages talk about their probabilities. Or math in general." Gragnel says, "I'll admit to falling asleep during some of the lectures at the Temple..." Gragnel gazes off into the distance. Xionara raises an eyebrow. Nawain nods to Maintain. Allye ponders. Zalinyar ponders. Felicini nods at Gragnel, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost gazes thoughtfully at Maintain. Harsh quietly says, "I cheated all the way through cleric school lectures. Every single test. Cheater." Xionara points at herself. Harsh points at himself. Zalinyar gets a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames from inside her firesilk backpack. Harsh shrugs. Malorna exclaims, "I doze off mid heal sometimes!" Maintain smiles at Gragnel. Elizzibiana says, "Never fall asleep while Karasjil is teaching you, she will yank your tail." Xionara softly says, "Am pickly cactus. Take note." Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Gragnel snickers at Harsh. Elizzibiana snickers. Karthor chuckles. Rileos flashes a quick grin at Harsh. Xionara softly says, "Prickly, too." Malorna says, "Jsut kidding." Aaiyaah hugs Zalinyar, who wraps her arms around Aaiyaah with a warm smile. Numinor chuckles at Xionara. Unaka says, "Nothing wrong with a good nap. Sometimes need those to learn too." Zalinyar hugs Aaiyaah, who wraps his arms around Zalinyar with a warm smile. Jecala quietly says, "Mm...pickled cactus..." Vaddon taps Zalinyar lightly on her shoulder and waits expectantly. Maintain says to Gragnel, "Not every monk is a good lecturer. It is more a burden to some than others." Darinilor says to Gragnel, "I don't think even staying awake in class would have helped me with this. Far too much for a novice to understand." Xionara softly says, "No no, prickly. not pickly." Vaddon licks his lips. Nawain beams at Unaka! Gragnel nods at Maintain, obviously agreeing with his views. Jecala quietly says, "But pickles are good." Jecala nods to Xionara. Heartsfyre chuckles. Xionara winks at Jecala. Zalinyar sighs. Zalinyar offers Vaddon a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Malorna leans over and licks Xionara, getting a warm smile in return. Vaddon beams in loving admiration at Zalinyar! Vaddon accepts Zalinyar's darkefire rum. Zalinyar gets a glass goblet of darkefire rum with silver varked flames from inside her firesilk backpack. Aaiyaah shakes Vaddon's hand. Nawain says to Unaka, "You know lots about learning. You'd make a great cleric of Enelne, you know." Raising her darkefire rum to Vaddon, Zalinyar gives him a toast. Nawain praises Unaka. Malorna says, "Not pickly." Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Vaddon smiles at Aaiyaah. Malorna winks at Xionara. Shield of Death Heartsfyre glides out. Aaiyaah grins at Ghust. Rhadyn gruffly asks, "Anyone mind teach a class on sorcery?" Unaka says, "I want to stay though. I need to learn more about the Clerical magic." Unaka smiles at Nawain. Leilanie looks at Rhadyn, obviously trying not to grin. Zersha glances at Rhadyn. Ghust rests his hand on Aaiyaah's arm with a soft smile. Aerilia traces a careful sigil in the air. Crobin chuckles. Leilanie clucks her tongue and shakes her head. Xionara softly says, "Am curious to know what say about Font of Creation." Felicini guzzles down some of her tea and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve. Felicini takes a sip of her tea. Unaka says to Nawain, "Truffenyi is a good teacher too." Gwenddolyn says, "He's trying to get everyone thrown in jail." Numinor nods at Xionara, obviously agreeing with her views. Leayne nods to Zalinyar. Numinor rubs a gold medallion symbolizing dedication to Truffenyi. Nawain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Rhadyn. Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Jecala nods emphatically. Elizzibiana says, "Never fall asleep while Karazhil is teaching you even, she will yank your tail." Numinor gives a gold medallion symbolizing dedication to Truffenyi a hug! Nawain says to Unaka, "Fathers often are." Rhadyn folds his arms across his chest. Valynn smirks at Aaiyaah. Maintain says, "Now, this unlearned monk believes that the signs and signals point towards something in the construction of the barrier that shields the Plane of Abiding suddenly interfering with the Font of Creation. He could speculate endlessly on reasons why, but thinks it better to allow those wiser than him to speak up first." Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Xionara begins chortling at Elizzibiana. Xionara just hugged Elizzibiana. Ghust smiles at Aaiyaah. Leayne nods to Crobin. Leayne smiles at Valynn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Nawain ponders. Elizzibiana grins at Xionara. Rhadyn smirks at Tekhelet. Harsh ponders. Elizzibiana just hugged Xionara. Crowfeet ponders. Nawain asks Maintain, "You think the Bulwark is what is interferring with the Font?" Xionara's ears perk up happily. Xionara's tail undulates lazily through the air. Allye ponders. Valynn grins at Leayne. Gwenddolyn nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Kethrai angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Maintain. Unaka fixes Maintain with a heavy, ponderous stare. Ghust takes a sip of his coffee. Nawain ponders. (Maintain waggles one hand at Nawain in a non-committal way.) Knight Errant Trajan just arrived. Anuril puffs away on his blackwood pipe. Leayne waves to Anuril. Xionara softly says, "Oof.. weight of gaze..." Ciarelle raises her hand. Xionara glances at Unaka. Tirost glances at Kethrai. Ciarelle asks, "Now I'm afraid it's my turn to need a summary--can someone catch me up on exactly what the Bulwark is?" Xionara rubs her head. Leayne smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks. Tirost grins at Crobin. Tirost nods to Crobin. Maintain says, "If this unobservant monk had to say, it isn't the Bulwark. Not directly, anyway." Crowfeet says, "This is so above my level." Xionara softly says to Numinor, "Hope never catch that from that one." Crowfeet laughs at herself. Numinor nods at Xionara, obviously agreeing with her views. Aaiyaah grins at Elizzibiana. Nawain says to Ciarelle, "Bait box, apparently. Great big holy bait box." Ghust quietly says, "If we're talkin magic, those strange twisted bouts of maigic are kinda odd." Ciarelle nods to Nawain. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Nawain. Nawain glances at Unaka. Leilanie nods emphatically at Couri. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Nawain. Unaka nods to Nawain. Gwenddolyn says, "Very safe." Elizzibiana chuckles. Zalinyar nods to Gwenddolyn. Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Karthor asks Nawain, "Is that a holy box fer bait, or a box fer holy bait?" Maintain says to Ciarelle, "Another metaphysical construct that the learned benefactors have decided is...as sister Nawain says...bait for extraplanar powers." Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Leayne giggles at Karthor. Ghust quietly says, "Also dunno why but Empath guild keeps gettin attacked by glass." Unaka says, "Bulwark is like a box. I think of it like a bait box, because that's a type of box I use." Crowfeet says, "You catch holy mackeral with them." Maintain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Gwenddolyn says, "Holy box definitely." Jecala glances at Ghust. Harsh quietly says to Ghust, "I tried to come bless but i cannot get in there at present." Karthor lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Crowfeet! Nawain grins at Karthor. Ghust nods. Ghust quietly says to Harsh, "Yeah it wore off." Leilanie looks at Couri, obviously trying not to grin. Rhadyn shakes his head as if clearing it. Rhadyn tilts his head back and guzzles down a horn of Dwarven challenger's stout! Whoa, someone better tell him to slow down! Xionara softly says, "Thought it was just box lid, kind of shield." Xionara scratches one ear, looking bemused. Elizzibiana chuckles at Xionara. Jecala fidgets nervously. Tekhelet asks Crowfeet, "Is that your o-fish-al opinion?" Unaka says, "I don't think the wild magic is doing any damage to it or anything. Said that before. But it is maybe shaking or vibrating some." Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Maintain asks, "This apologetic monk needs to reiterate that he does not believe the Bulwark is interfering with the Font of Creation. More that something has shifted their positions relative to each other, maybe?" Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Crowfeet grins at Tekhelet. Jecala bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter. Maintain scratches his head. Xionara grins sheepishly at Elizzibiana. Crobin snuggles up to Leayne and cradles her in his arms. Ciarelle says to Maintain, "Thanks that's very helpful." Crowfeet says to Tekhelet, "I see what you did there." Unaka nods to Maintain. Harsh nods to Maintain. Harsh quietly says, "Hmm." Nawain nods to Maintain. Ghust quietly asks, "Define that please?" Unaka asks, "Can you explain the Font of Creation?" Anuril smirks at Nawain. Ghust nods in agreement. Maintain says to Unaka, "Only poorly, this unlearned monk is afraid. The Font of Creation is a wellspring from which the beneficence of the Immortals springs. The root of much of what makes us mortal." Ghust beams at Harsh! Elizzibiana dips her hands in the basin of water to wash them. Ghust quietly exclaims, "Thanks!" Unaka nods to Maintain. Karthor says, "Sounds a bit like a Fountain of Creation, but more...creationy...on account of bein' god-sized. Or somesuch." Nawain pets a shaggy husky puppy. The husky puppy playfully nibbles at her hand. Karthor scratches his head. Nawain gets a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich glazed in honey from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Nawain beams! Felicini pets a shaggy husky puppy. Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Jecala quietly says, "Sounds like a big holy bathtub." Maintain grins at Karthor. Elizzibiana chuckles at Nawain. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Karthor. Jecala sighs content. Harsh gazes at a wash basin. Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Nawain groans. Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Elizzibiana says to Nawain, "Hey, you have a puppy, no stealing mine." Rhadyn cringes. Elizzibiana snickers. Nawain says, "This is amazing." Ghust quietly asks, "Does it seem that one guild is gettin targeted over another one?" Nawain laughs! Iraise grins. Maintain says to Jecala, "When the revered sister puts it that way, it sounds both lovely and a bit heretical." Rhadyn quietly says, "Bathtubs." Nawain pets a coppery saluki puppy flaunting a goldenglow glaes collar and jadeleaf snood. The saluki puppy stares around longingly, its tail making swishing sounds as it flits back and forth. Crowfeet shakes her head. Rhadyn shudders. Hyena Stalker Sozinho moseys out. Maintain shakes his head at Ghust. Leilanie grins at Rhadyn. Harsh gazes at Rhadyn. Nawain giggles. Harsh gazes at a wash basin. Jecala gasps at Rhadyn! Gwenddolyn smirks. Jecala gets a bag of lavender from inside her deerskin duffel. Briaen says, "It is also that which is a source of desired theft, especially of those who wish to usurp the strength of the Divine Themselves, like the Philosophers. We are charged with defending against such a theft." Allye asks, "If the Font of Creation were being directly disturbed in some way, wouldn't the Immortals likely act more forcefully, with strong guidance that we take particular action that would prevent the Font from coming to harm?" Unaka asks, "So it's kinda like the stuff Truffenyi used to create us?" Maintain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Crobin chuckles. Tirost gazes at Briaen. Maintain says to Unaka, "That is this unlearned monk's likely woefully inadequate understanding." A spectral tide of glassy blue-black energy sweeps by a horned phantom thrall, momentarily pulling it away from Harsh's side. Crobin nods to Leayne. (Jecala holds her sage and lavender out in both hands) Rhadyn softly asks, "Can we call it an "ale vat" then please?" Jecala quietly says, "Baths are goood." Anuril's throat contracts as a faint wisp of smoke rises from his lips. Unaka nods to Maintain. Ghust ponders. Leayne nods to Crobin. Nawain nods to Briaen. Rhadyn pointedly ignores Jecala. Gwenddolyn says, "He'd have a much better chance of pushing him in if it was." Jecala waves a bag of sage at Rhadyn. Rhadyn jumps back from Jecala! Nawain ponders. Ghust quietly asks, "Kin necromancers maybe be a part of this wrong magic?" Xionara softly says to Jecala, "Careful, just because Rhadyn ignores, doesn't mean Beardslee and flea crew also ignoring..." Nawain says to Ghust, "Of course, always." Nawain makes a grunting noise. Xionara dusts herself off. Maintain says to Unaka, "If his own research is to be believe, this struggling monk would believe that the power granted to Clerics is just one of the products of the Font of Creation. Truffenyi's gifts are another, as is Meraud's gift." Xionara glances at Rhadyn. Unaka quietly says to Rhadyn, "Ale vat. I like that." Rhadyn nods at Xionara, obviously agreeing with her views. Allye shifts uncomfortably for a moment. Aaiyaah grins at Crobin. Jecala shivers. Perune says to Allye, "It is more likely that our connection to the Spiritual Plane is being harmed, as it seems connections to all the other points that make this plane a Nexus are having some sort of problems." Jecala puts her sage in her deerskin duffel. Jecala puts her lavender in her deerskin duffel. Unaka gets a mug of dark brown ale from inside her haversack. Rhadyn grins at Unaka. Kethrai asks, "I think I've heard Divinity described as the ability to create something out of nothing, or the ability to create life? Maybe both? Is that accurate?" Unaka says, "Reminds me I've got ale." Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Xionara grins at Unaka. Allye nods to Perune. Nawain ponders. Ghust ponders. Sultry Siren Crowfeet glides out. Leilanie gnaws on her lip. Xionara rummages about her person, looking for something. Vaddon takes a sip of his rum. Tirost asks Maintain, "Do you understand the Fount of Creation to be a structure, a place, or a way of describing the influence of the all of the Immortals?" Trajan says, "You might want to slow down." [General] Your mind hears Aaiyaah thinking, "Meeting in the Crossing Cleric guild still going strong folks. Good information being discussed, please join us if you can." Xionara gets a little navy lunchbox painted with the portrait of a Prydaen from inside some nebulous enshrouding clouds of soft white smokewhorl. Rhadyn grunts at Trajan. Xionara gets a bottle of yesterday's absinthe from inside her navy lunchbox. Xionara puts her lunchbox in her hitman's backpack. Rhadyn opens his mouth wide as a thunderous belch rolls up from the pit of his stomach. Ghust quietly asks, "Okay, this sounds.....probably like a bad idea, but kin we open the portal or whatever it was, an get our friends out th way they went in?" Xionara moves a bottle of yesterday's absinthe to her right hand. Perune asks Allye, "Still though, that would pose a problem they'd also want to solve, because if this Plane goes belly-up and we have no connection to that Plane, guess where our souls will probably go?" Nawain asks Unaka, "You seem fairly knowledgeable about the Bulwark. You say it's not being weakened by what is currently happening. Do you know if it's being reinforced at all? Have the Immortals been making it stronger, thicker?" Xionara takes a drink of her yesterday's absinthe and makes a face, as if the drink was not very good. However, she then stares up in slack-jawed wonder. Trajan says, "My fault. I shouldn't have pat you on the back." Trajan nods to Rhadyn. Xionara softly says, "Oof.. hrm.. maybe too strong.." Xionara scratches one ear, looking bemused. Xionara glances at a bottle of yesterday's absinthe. Jecala ponders. Xionara starts chasing empty air, then reaches her hand out as if touching something invisible. Leayne gets an airy lavender fairy floss cloud spangled with edible silver glitter from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. The tobacco in Anuril's blackwood pipe goes out and crumbles away. Numinor bops Xionara over the head. Rhadyn just nudged Trajan. Maintain says to Tirost, "This unworthy monk's research indicates that it is a metaphysical construct that, should one remove themselves from this plane, could hypothetically be interacted with like any other metaphysical construct. Whether the benefactor believes that means it to be a construct or a concept is...well, not this one's place to decide." Perune says, "Which tells me that at the moment, what Meraud did to help stabilize the issue may be all that can be done, for the moment." Unaka says to Nawain, "Don't know for sure. Don't think so." Nawain nods. Maintain ponders. Nawain ponders. Ghust ponders. Maintain says to Tirost, "Like the Lightning Tower visible from the Zengmodaleth. Firulf's Staff." Death's Messenger Buzan just arrived. Gwenddolyn shifts her weight. Tirost smiles at Maintain. Allye nods at Perune, obviously agreeing with his views. Numinor says to Xionara, "Quit being distracting you goof." Nawain says to Perune, "Maybe, maybe not." Tirost says to Maintain, "You anticipated my next question..." Numinor bops Xionara over the head. Nawain ponders. Harsh quietly asks, "You dont suppose the barrier to the starry road is crumbling under all this do you?" Leayne takes a bite of the cloud. Xionara grins sheepishly. Buzan raises an eyebrow. Aerilia ponders. Xionara puts her absinthe in a worn grey hitman's backpack with fraying straps. Nawain shudders. Perune looks at Nawain and shrugs. Jecala quietly says, "Holy, Life, Elemental..." Xionara covers her mouth with her hand. Jecala ponders. Crobin smiles at Leayne. Maintain says to Tirost, "This apologetic monk simply made the connection himself." Xionara smiles and draws a little halo with her index finger in the air above her head. Maintain bows to Tirost. Numinor frowns, shaking her head with an expression of exasperation before resting her face in the palm of her hand. Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Nawain. Nawain says to Harsh, "That's an awful thought." Anuril puts his tobacco in his blackwood pipe. Tekhelet blinks. Harsh nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Anuril touches some Warm Night tobacco with a glowing finger, and it quickly catches fire. Tirost says to Maintain, "Thank you. The Holder of Storm is indeed something that seems to defy our understanding of structures and space, yet it clearly has a form and function." Anuril puffs away on his blackwood pipe. Maintain glances at Harsh. Tekhelet rubs his right eye. Ghust quietly asks Maintain, "If its evil magic that is causing this, couldnt light magic be th key ta savin them?" Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Gragnel gives a slight nod. Maintain frowns. Xionara takes a seat near Numinor. Severei says, "The Wheel still turns." Severei nods. Tekhelet yawns expansively. Xionara nods at Severei, obviously agreeing with her views. Leilanie studies the faces around her. Numinor pats Xionara on the back. Gwenddolyn says, "Barely, without mana it would cease." Unaka runs one hand over her scalp thoughtfully. Maintain says to Ghust, "This unworthy monk would not ascribe an element of light to his own magic, but assures the benefactor that it is in fact Holy." Nawain nods to Tekhelet. Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Ghust ponders. Felicini says, "Or possibly another form of evil magic or possibly light magic and evil magic together." Tirost asks Maintain, "You are confident that the Holder of Storms is not the Fount of Creation?" Leayne takes a bite of her cloud and pauses to savor the sweet moment. Maintain nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Elizzibiana says, "So we have five folks, representing three mana types, plus two if them can cross cast same type of magic, to equal five. Five marks on the floor of the tower." Harsh nods. Anuril gazes upward. Maintain says to Tirost, "It feels different. This one wishes he was better equipped to explain it." Vaerek glances outside a moment. Briaen says to Tirost, "I would say we can be most confident that the two are not the same." Tirost nods. Ghust quietly asks, "Has this tower been examied?" Tirost nods to Ghust. Ghust ponders. Nawain says to Ghust, "Lots." Harsh quietly says, "Quite a lot." Harsh nods. Ghust nods. Gwenddolyn says, "It is the tower that Mibgluc, the necromancer, blew up, so it is tainted." Maintain says to Tirost, "This unworthy monk certain shudders with piety when gazing upon the Staff, but when he touches the Font...it is only calm and reassuring. Like the Segoltha in autumn." Elizzibiana says, "So what are we missing? Out side of the five mising folks." Gragnel nods at Maintain, obviously agreeing with his views. Tekhelet shrugs. Felicini says, "We are missing how to fix this." Gragnel says to Maintain, "A good description." Tirost nods to Maintain. Allye grins at Felicini. Elizzibiana chuckles at Felicini. Anuril takes a long drag off of his blackwood pipe. Felicini grins at Allye. Anuril exhales some tobacco smoke. A faintly perfumed aroma wafts from a pale lavender plume of smoke, carrying with it the scent of mulled wine. Felicini smiles at Elizzibiana. Trajan says, "We're missing the plot, I believe." Elizzibiana nods to Trajan. Leayne nods. Maintain smiles at Trajan. Unaka asks Maintain, "You can touch the Font?" Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Zersha rubs her head. Maintain looks at Unaka and shrugs. Tirost asks Maintain, "I apologize for asking what is probably a foolish question, but in what circumstances have you touched it?" Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Hebion nods to Zersha. Perune stands near Briaen. Jecala quietly says, "Life, Elemental, and Holy mana...I don't think we could live without. Lunar...I don't know about. But those three...intermingle in ways, even if some say they aren't supposed to, they do anyway. They touch. They mix." Ghust quietly says, "Maybe it is not the mana, but who was takin instead." Maintain says to Unaka, "This lowly monk cannot otherwise explain how divine intercession works. He prays, he reaches beyond himself, and the Gods answer with power." Gwenddolyn asks, "I thought that the stone with 5 marks reminded me of the standing stones that held in Maelshyve, so is the stone what is holding them in? Like a doorway?" Unaka nods to Maintain. Gragnel nods to Maintain. Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Rhadyn gruffly says to Maintain, "Show us on this doll where you touched it." Gragnel says, "Another good description." Harvest Daughter Lasan just arrived. Perune whispers something to Briaen. Xionara softly says to Jecala, "Are part of balance. Without moons, oceans have no waves. Is gravity thing." Unaka gets a rich chocolate volcano cake drizzled with a melted glaze from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Miraeven shifts his weight. Unaka takes a bite of the cake. Jecala nods to Xionara. (Maintain shows Rhadyn the left eye on the doll with an alluding gesture to his own scarred face.) Jecala quietly says, "So Lunar and Elemental would mix." Jecala nods. Briaen whispers something to Perune. Jecala quietly says, "I think we need to mix it more." Tekhelet leans against a disposal bin. Gragnel says, "A connection to the Divine is felt and nutured by our communes and rituals. It is beyond simple "magic." Anuril squints at Jecala. Gwenddolyn asks, "Does anyone know what the last spell cast was?" Buzan says, "Five points...five people per point intermixing magics into the center." Buzan nods in agreement. Unaka loudly says to Nawain, "What? I couldn't hear you." Nawain blushes furiously! Nawain coughs. Crobin ponders. Harsh quietly says, "This has been my concern all along. A force has figured a way to negate holy magic and escaped a prison. I started to think this way when those who were taken but returned described where they were. The place felt like a prison they said, with all magic cleary noticable to all there, EXCEPT holy." Xionara softly asks, "Why assuming five people representing magic?" Nawain casually asks Unaka, "I don't suppose you... Uhh. Know anything about antinomic sorcery? About what Truffenyi thinks of it?" Xionara scratches one ear, looking bemused. Harsh ponders. Nawain gazes at Unaka. Harvest Daughter Lasan goes out. Ghust ponders. Unaka fixes Nawain with a heavy, ponderous stare. Perune whispers something to Briaen. Harsh sighs. Buzan looks at Xionara and shrugs. Nawain shifts her weight. Allye gnaws on her lip. Felicini frets. Ghust quietly asks Harsh, "What would that mean tho?" Rileos glances at Nawain. Xionara softly asks, "Not simply removed because in way of whatever thing is doing?" Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Leilanie asks, "What is antinomic?" Leilanie blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue. Ghust quietly says, "Only some people were taken, th others givin back." Gwenddolyn says, "There was a reason no holy guild members were taken." Xionara nods to Ghust. Ghust quietly asks, "Why?" Harsh nods. Jecala ponders. Buzan says, "Power of faith." Elizzibiana says, "Heck, I was more interested in trying to get out of that place. Especially with the portal in closing down, I wasnt standing around looking at my sorroundings or checking magic." Maintain says, "To ah, put this all in somewhat irreverant terms, it is this unworthy's monk opinion that the Bulwark's box structure normally shields the Font's bucket structure and something has thrown that out of alignment. Without greater understanding of how other magic users perceive the planar structures, he cannot speculate on whether that would ring true for them." Xionara softly says, "Still feels like assumption to myself without evidence but, carry on." Xionara smiles at Gwenddolyn. Felicini grins at Elizzibiana. Xionara softly says, "Could be." Nawain says to Leilanie, "It's... well, it's paradox. It's two rules opposing each other for dominance in the same space. I think." Briaen whispers something to Perune. Kethrai says, "The only thing linking all the five people who were taken was their being at the forefront of our wild magic research." Maintain nods to Kethrai. Leilanie ponders. Kethrai says, "Which seems like just as good a motivation for them to be taken as any." Unaka says to Nawain, "Right. What I know is that Truffenyi doesn't seem to care about all the cross mana casting. But he doesn't like the high sorceries. You'd have to tell me more about that one type." Numinor nods to Nawain. Allye nods at Kethrai, obviously agreeing with his views. A pained expression crosses Nawain's face. Severei rubs Nawain gently, massaging her muscles. Harsh quietly asks, "So, a godling?" Harsh blinks. Numinor says to Nawain, "My wild research suggests this type of scenario." Allye trills softly to herself. Leilanie gnaws on her lip. Harsh quietly says, "Dont like that one myself." Nawain says to Unaka, "I suppose he probably wouldn't like antinomic sorcery, then." Xionara nods to Numinor. Gwenddolyn asks, "All high sorcery combines holy, is that true?" Maintain says to Kethrai, "This lowly monk has made sure to offer thanks to Firulf, Mrod, and Idon for his protection, but he mourns the loss of some of the finest benefactors he knows." Unaka nods to Nawain. Fekete just arrived. Perune whispers something to Briaen. A young novice carefully lowers the lamps and lights the candles for the evening. Nawain makes a grunting noise. Valynn nods to Aaiyaah. Nawain says, "I'll apologize later." Lilyrueca just arrived. Nawain squints. Vaddon takes a sip of his rum. Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Tirost grins at Aerilia. Valynn rubs Aaiyaah gently, massaging his muscles. Ghust quietly says, "If th problem is part wild magic, why is obtainin th spells so easy." Kethrai says to Gwenddolyn, "High necromancy doesn't." Aaiyaah grins at Valynn. Ghust quietly asks, "Ah got GG spell from clerics. Easy ta get. So if its so bad, why is it so easy ta ge t?" Severei says, "Antinomic sorcery is the only way some of us can connect to our own gods, those that fall outside of the Immortals' circle." Nawain nods at Severei, obviously agreeing with her views. Unaka says to Harsh, "If there was a place with no Holy, seems to me like it means no Immortals were ever there. Or going to be there." Gwenddolyn says, "So a necromancer would have no need for holy magic users then." Briaen whispers something to Perune. Unaka rubs her head. Nawain eagerly asks Unaka, "But we could bring them there. With us. Maybe. Maybe?" Unaka says, "Don't know." Nawain says, "Well. We can try." Briaen says to Gwenddolyn, "It would depend on the Necromancer. Some, rather enjoy Holy magic." Allye looks thoughtfully at Nawain. Gwenddolyn says, "Redeemed." Harsh quietly says, "Always carry mine with me where i go." Perune whispers something to Briaen. Briaen gives a gracious nod. Gwenddolyn nods. Tirost smiles at Aerilia. Numinor nods to Gwenddolyn. Maintain says to Unaka, "That is why it is this itinerant monk's belief that standing on the plaftorm in the Zengmodaleth is akin to walking in Firulf's footsteps. Holy magic resides there, as certain as it does here. Even if it has an odd tinge." Unaka nods to Maintain. Jecala kneels down and touches her lips with the tips of her fingers. Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Jecala stands up. Rhadyn shakes his head as if clearing it. Crobin gets a ceramic jug of partially congealed blood-ale from inside his multi-strapped carryall. Ice Knight Chrysaor just arrived. Nawain takes a bite of the sandwich. Grinning, Crobin pulls a swig from a ceramic jug of partially congealed blood-ale. Numinor begins chortling at Xionara. Crobin puts his blood-ale in his multi-strapped carryall. Leilanie gives a slight nod. You hear the clanging of the meal bell, announcing the evening meal. Ghust quietly says, "Instead of comin up with wild ideas we need ta come up with th most logical an put those together." Couri nods. Numerous bees swarm onto Felicini's shoulders. Maintain whispers something to Nawain. Harsh quietly says, "During our times of complete mana voids, the few for a few moments we've experienced lately, every spell couldnt not be cast and every cyclical spell fell, but my orb withstood it and all the spells it contained persisted." Leilanie nods. Kethrai says, "Life mana is totally absent in most of the Plane of Electricity. Can find it in parts of Zengmodaleth, probably where it's leaking from our plane..." Chrysaor begins to listen to Aaiyaah teach the Tactics skill. Unaka says to Nawain, "I think Truffenyi is trying to work with us somehow, though. That's why he's with me." Maintain ponders. Nawain quietly says to Severei, "I certainly won't be abandoning Enelne. I'll do whatever penance required to make the 39 happy, but I won't give Her up." Nawain nods to Unaka. Aaiyaah nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Chrysaor stands near Rhadyn. Severei nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Tirost asks Unaka, "I have a request of you, Unaka, should you ever have time. There is an entity called Liraxes that wishes us to build a device that it claims can help restore balance. Would you be willing to pray to Truffenyi, and share whether you get any sense of whether the device is something with which we should assist?" Gwenddolyn nods to Unaka. Nawain nods to Maintain. Unaka fixes Tirost with a heavy, ponderous stare. Maintain says to Kethrai, "This unworthy monk has not had an opportunity to journey deeper into the Plane of Electricity. He would be curious to discover whether Holy magic were present deeper in." Tirost says to Unaka, "I will happily supply as much of Allye's chicken and baked goods as I can afford for before and after." Valynn gazes thoughtfully at Unaka. Crobin smiles at Tirost. Maintain chuckles. Numinor asks, "Why not pray to Truffenyi directly?" Felicini says, "Thats really good food." Leayne grins at Tirost, her dimples flashing into view. Numinor says, "He will answer." Ghust shakes his head. Allye flashes a quick grin at Tirost. Numinor says, "Maybe through Unaka." Kethrai nods to Maintain. Severei says to Nawain, "Same with me, I could not turn my back on the Triquetra." Maintain offers Tirost a large chunk of baguette slathered in butter. Tirost accepts Maintain's baguette. Raising his silversteel tankard to Maintain, Tirost gives him a toast. Leayne takes a bite of the cloud. Aaiyaah nods at Numinor, obviously agreeing with her views. Tirost takes a bite of the baguette. Unaka slowly says to Tirost, "I can try. It doesn't exactly work like that though." Ghust quietly says, "There HAS ta be a common connection with th disapperances and who was taken an why." Tirost nods to Unaka. Briaen whispers something to Perune. Xionara softly says, ".. they were in way." Tirost says to Unaka, "Your attempt and intuition would be a great help to us." Harsh quietly says, "The number five is prevailant." Maintain says to Tirost, "This monk does not make it a habit to carry poultry around, but grandmother always insisted a bit of travel bread goes a long way." Ghust nods. Rileos leans back. Gragnel says, "I have made my prayers to Damaris so that whatever secrets are being kept can be exposed." Elizzibiana nods to Harsh. Tirost smiles at Maintain. Couri nods. Tirost says to Maintain, "It is very good. Thank you." Maintain bows to Gragnel. Perune whispers something to Briaen. Nawain says, "We've had alot of good questions, and some very insightful answers. Thank you all very much for your wisdom - it does the heart good to see so many of us here. I would like to invite you all to a... Pfeh. To Saragos's party. Which is soon! Check your calenders. I could definitely use a whole lot of holy people to he... Hrr. To help put up decorations." Unaka says, "If you tell me more about this Liraxes I can always tell you what I think." Maintain says to Gragnel, "Thank you, revered brother." Harsh quietly says, "So, instead of three gnomes in a very big coat, five gnomes in an even larger coat." Xionara softly says to Harsh, "That could be thing." Xionara softly says, "Number." Xionara ponders. A nervous tic starts up around Nawain's eye. Maintain smiles at Nawain. Unaka nods to Nawain. Felicini gets a small suede notebook entitled "PLANS" from inside a frosted eddy of fiery pink light set inside a giant stack of coralite donuts. Jecala nods to Nawain. Fury's Touch Rejind just arrived. Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Unaka says to Nawain, "I love parties. But got a lot of work to do too." Gwenddolyn grins at Nawain, her dimples flashing into view. Nawain nods to Unaka. Couri nods to Harsh. Maintain bows. Tirost says to Unaka, "I would be happy to." Xionara smiles at Unaka. Maintain says, "This monk thanks all the participants and everyone for their interest." Kethrai whispers something to Anuril. Anuril nods to Kethrai. Maintain touches a hand to his mouth and offers a prayer for the continued safety and good fortune of the people surrounding him. Allye raises her hand. Kethrai gently kisses Anuril on the cheek. Vaddon takes a sip of his rum. Felicini says, "Thank you as well." Tirost takes a bite of the baguette. Death's Messenger Buzan goes out. Heart Tender Kethrai glides out. Leayne nods. Leilanie smiles. Allye says, "Thank you both for inviting us to observe this discussion." Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "That reminds me. I got your message. Don't know if I can make it with all the work." Nawain says to Unaka, "It's... err. It's an important party. Probably.... lots of good talking going on. And someone mentioned Togball." Xionara softly asks Unaka, "Seems talk is over. Could tell more about places of magic have been visiting?" Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Aaiyaah nods to Unaka. Maintain smiles at Allye. Xionara gazes at Unaka. Nawain nods to Gwenddolyn. Allye says, "I had a question, if there's anyone who might know." Ciarelle bobs down and back up in a quick curtsy. Allye asks, "Does anyone know of a way to amplify the effect of Meraud's Blessing?" Gragnel raises an eyebrow in Allye's direction. Severei utters a brief, inquiring "mrrp?" in Allye's direction. Nawain shakes her head at Allye. Unaka asks Nawain, "Oh, Togball?" Aaiyaah asks, "Understandable, but Harsh here will be holding a vigil soon...a recital you may be interested in?" Zersha gazes thoughtfully at Allye. Ghust quietly asks, "Where is this tower that was nein looked at?" Nawain nods to Unaka. Tirost bows to Maintain. Tirost bows to Nawain. Nawain nods to Gwenddolyn. Ghust quietly says, "Bein." Perune whispers something to Briaen. Darinilor says, "I have no idea what is going on, but I feel like I accidentally wandered into something interesting." Aaiyaah asks, "Harsh, mind sharing a little more with Unaka, sir?" Nawain frowns. Rhadyn gruffly asks Unaka, "I'm a bystander here as a barbaian, but were is the All Father in all of this?" Tipsy Trailblazer Shaylynne just arrived. Xionara reaches over and holds hands with Darinilor. Felicini beams at Shaylynne! Maintain says to Allye, "This lowly monk is afraid not. But he will make a note to look into it." Tekhelet searches around for a moment. Shaylynne hugs Felicini, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile. Unaka says, "Hang on, too much going on at once now. I like to take it slow." Gwenddolyn grins at Shaylynne, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost smiles at Shaylynne. Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "I will be holding a vigil to Truffenyi in a few days time. I hope to bring community closer. Perhaps receive some guidance. In five days time, five again." Elizzibiana leans on Shaylynne. Harsh nods. Allye says, "It was mentioned in discussion earlier today that the reason rural villages may be seeing more devastating violence from magic may be because they don't have skilled magic users like in the towns to harness the wild surges." Felicini hugs Shaylynne, who wraps her arms around Felicini with a warm smile. Gragnel says to Allye, "All I know of is that it can last longer with more skill." Aaiyaah moves into position to cover Unaka from harm. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Aaiyaah. Allye says, "It would be wonderful if there was some way that we could harness Meraud's Blessing to protect outlying areas like those." Shaylynne smiles at Tirost. Nawain ponders. Ghust ponders. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "Don't do that to a Paladin, man." Aaiyaah loosens the straps securing his small shield and removes it. Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Rileos laughs! Leilanie grins at Unaka. Aaiyaah grins at Unaka. Nawain says to Allye, "Like... A really big commune? Hmm." Tirost grins at Shaylynne. Crobin grins at Aaiyaah. Unaka says, "Even if I am holding cake." Elizzibiana chuckles. Aerilia chuckles. Aaiyaah says, "It never hurts." Allye nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Darinilor rubs her left ear. Aaiyaah laughs! Nawain stands up. Unaka takes a bite of the cake. Shaylynne nods to Tirost. Maintain nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain carefully gathers up the delicate folds of a verdant jadeleaf prayer mat graced with golden butterflies and wildlace tassels. With a friendly smile, Rhadyn holds Chrysaor's hand. Leilanie praises Unaka. Unaka says, "Okay okay, slow down and try again everybody. One at a time." Xionara smiles at Darinilor. Valynn gazes at Aaiyaah. Ghust quietly says, "See fer a clerric, castin that spell would be fine. But if AH cast it....." Maintain says to Nawain, "Beseeching Firulf and Kerenhappuch as well. It's worth looking into." Nawain says, "Wonder if we could use those great big cambrinth orbs in the Temple." Ghust taps the tattoo on his face. Briaen whispers something to Perune. Allye says, "Yes, exactly. Though I've no sense of the logistics, not being a Holy Magic user myself." Nawain puts her mat in her slender rugursora. Ghust quietly says, "That would be wild magic." Perune nods to Briaen. Nawain says, "Sort of what they were designed for, really." Vaddon takes a sip of his rum. Zalinyar asks, "How about a hostage exchange?" Zakarii dips his hands in the basin of water to wash them. Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Perune whispers something to Briaen. Vaerek peers quizzically at Zalinyar. Gwenddolyn squints at Zalinyar. Briaen whispers something to Perune. Ghust jumps back, looking startled! Nawain says to Zalinyar, "Whomever took our friends who have to care about the messengers. I don't think they do." Maintain says to Allye, "They're ritualized actions. The Temple teaches them, but that doesn't mean that there can't be original ones or ones unknown to the broader Temple." Zalinyar snaps her fingers. Aaiyaah says to Unaka, "Harsh will be holding a vigil....a recital for Truffenyi later this week. We would love it if you could attend." Allye nods to Maintain. Harsh nods. Maintain praises Harsh. Unaka says to Xionara, "Okay, you had a question. Places that have been hurt by magic. Yeah, I've been to a few now. Blighted fields, one place ruined by vines." Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Malorna frowns. Tirost gazes at Unaka. Zersha blinks at Unaka. Maintain asks Unaka, "Are you talking of the maiden's tress near the monastery?" Ghust inhales a great swallow of air. Ghust slowly empties his lungs. Harsh pats Aaiyaah on the back. Unaka says, "No, not near there." Maintain slowly empties his lungs. Aaiyaah grins at Harsh. Ghust quietly says, "Okay stop that." Xionara softly asks Unaka, "Could perhaps be more detailed? Do places have names known to ourselves?" Harsh winks at Aaiyaah. Aaiyaah chuckles. Tekhelet blinks. Unaka says, "Whole villages are hurting, all over. Another place where the surges just tore down a bunch of buildings." Aaiyaah grins at Harsh. Gragnel frowns. Allye gazes sadly at Unaka. Nawain moves over to guard Ghust. Aerilia nods to Unaka. Shaylynne frowns at Unaka. Allye says, "How horrible." Briaen whispers something to Perune. Crobin cocks his head. Tirost frowns. Shaylynne nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views. Leilanie frowns at Unaka. Urbaj nods to Unaka. Unaka says, "So far no names I could give that would be helpful I think." Xionara softly asks Unaka, "Places that ourselves could visit?" Maintain says, "This shameful monk must admit relief. He is constantly worried about the monastery what with the problems in Forfedhdar." Ghust smiles at Nawain. Allye hugs Shaylynne, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile. Ghust bows to Nawain. Shaylynne hugs Allye, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile. Aaiyaah hugs Shaylynne, getting a smile in return. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "A vigil is a good idea." Trajan nods to Unaka. Unaka says to Harsh, "I will come if I can. Truffenyi would like to hear from his people." Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Shaylynne just hugged Aaiyaah. Harsh nods to Unaka. Rileos glances outside a moment. Harsh smiles. Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "That would be grand." Harsh nods. Aerilia says, "I don't know exactly why rural villages are hurting more, but I suspect it's because they lack mages that can stop the surges from running rampent." Jecala shakes her prayer beads! Crobin shakes his head as if clearing it. Nawain nods to Aaiyaah. Trajan says, "Truffenyi seems to be one of the very few leads available to pursue." Ghust quietly says, "What we really need, is a LIST. Find th common den om otor, sorry ah cant speak that word in common." Unaka nods to Aerilia. Allye nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views. Maintain nods to Aaiyaah. Leayne peers quizzically at Crobin. Maintain bows to Aaiyaah. Unaka says to Aerilia, "Yeah, could be." Rileos nods to Aerilia. Aaiyaah sweeps a gold-inlaid tyrium great helm accented with royal blue off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Maintain at the same time. Xionara nods at Malorna, obviously agreeing with her views. Zersha looks at Hebion, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away. Unaka says, "Seems like it's getting worse everywhere, and some places aren't able to defend as well as others." Rileos says, "Kinda surprised they're gettin the surges at all. I don't think I ever seen one happen without a castin." Unaka says, "Some just getting real unlucky." Maintain frowns. A pained expression crosses Tirost's face. Unaka takes a bite of the cake. Jecala quietly asks, "Yeah...how does that make any sense...?" Allye says to Rileos, "They do drift... perhaps some go farther than others." Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully. Aerilia says to Rileos, "Some might get away, and just keep on going." You hear the voice of Sofina say, "The surges drift....what she said." Aerilia shrugs. Rhadyn gruffly asks Unaka, "Has this affected the islands of Qi as well?" Allye nods to Aerilia. Ghust quietly says, "An again, empath guild keeps gettin attacked by glass." Rileos says, "That's a hell of a drift." Trajan asks, "Glass?" Saecred just arrived. Ghust nods. Trajan raises an eyebrow in Ghust's direction. Unaka says to Rhadyn, "I've just done my wandering over here, but when I talked to that Merelew I was told there's riptides all over the ocean." A young novice lowers a lamp and replaces some burnt out candles with fresh ones. Jecala quietly asks Ghust, "Actual glass or just the sound?" Harsh quietly says, "Whats worst, a few times i have forgotten the commune to meraud during my hunt, I have shattered the mana, yet the giants continue to assault me with magic." Maintain says to Unaka, "Does the Paladin believe the brothers and sisters of Vela'tohr can assist? This one can travel to see Brother Vecuto shortly if needed." Malorna says, "Stops casting for a few." Ghust quietly says, "Sound of glass." Leayne nods to Crobin. Urbaj gazes at Unaka. Unaka says to Maintain, "I think everyone can help. That's kinda my motto." Xionara softly says, "Mana persists." Harsh quietly says, "I cannot cast, I am weakened, yet they continue to batter me with lightning." Maintain nods to Unaka. Shaylynne smiles at Unaka. Numinor nods to Xionara. Gragnel nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain smiles at Unaka. Harsh ponders. Tirost nods to Unaka. Harsh shrugs. Felicini smiles at Unaka. Allye perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Unaka. Harsh nods to Aaiyaah. Severei's tail undulates lazily through the air. Ghust quietly says, "We need ta figure that one out. Think about it. An empath is healin someone an their magic stops. That could kill th empath." Felicini nods at Shaylynne, obviously agreeing with her views. Xionara softly says, "Hrm, yes, most wanting direction to know how." Maintain says to Unaka, "Then this lowly monk will write Brother Vecuto tonight and visit as soon as he has aided the benefactors here." Nawain says to Ghust, "Which is precisely why there are remedies in several cabinets, including on at empaths." Jecala nods at Nawain, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain says to Ghust, "If magic goes out, heal yourself with those." Ghust ponders. Unaka says to Maintain, "I get the feeling the leaders are real busy though. That's just my sense. Maybe they're working in their own way." Allye praises Nawain. Numinor rubs her stone gwethdesuan. Crobin nibbles on Leayne affectionately. Ghust quietly says, "Good point." Harsh quietly says, "I would also be surprised if any of these visitors appear at Arahats tower willingly. I imagine they will all excuse themselves in one form or another. I think it is out of fear of that stone. Conjecture of course." Harsh nods to Aaiyaah. Maintain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Gragnel says, "I trust the faith I have in the Immortals. Although these trials are vexxing and dangerous, they will see us through." Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Unaka says, "But all of you, yeah. We should do something about this. I'm here to help." Tirost asks Unaka, "Do you have time for me to speak to you of Liraxes and the device now, or would another time be better?" Numinor smiles at Unaka. Nawain asks Harsh, "Err. Didn't Saragos say he'd light one of them on fire if it went anywhere near the tower?" Nawain ponders. Xionara perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Unaka. Harsh quietly says, "Oh perhaps." Unaka asks Tirost, "Oh, uh. How long will it take?" Harsh quietly says, "I missed that part." Jecala quietly says, "Unhelpful, but understandable." Trajan asks, "Has Liraxes explained the function of this... device yet?" Ghust quietly asks, "So where is this tower anyway?" Tirost says to Unaka, "I'm quite a talker, but I can be brief." Harsh points east. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Allye shakes her head at Trajan. Harsh nods to Ghust. Xionara smiles at Tirost. Ghust grins at Harsh. Unaka says to Harsh, "I'm not afraid of any stone. Not that I know of anyway." Crobin chuckles at Tirost. Nawain says to Ghust, "Out the east gate, near warrior mages. The burned one." Harsh smiles at Unaka. Rileos says to Trajan, "Refine the math to figure out what to do, exact. So it says." Rileos looks at Trajan and shrugs. Ghust nods. Aerilia says to Trajan, "It's a measurement device to gather more precise data, as best as I understand it." Trajan nods. Jecala quietly says to Ghust, "Ever been to Muspari'i by airship? It's where the airship lands." Maintain says to Unaka, "You have discovered us, Paladin. Those of us who have grown long in tooth adventuring spend more time talking than acting now. This one shall endeavor to be more active." Zersha quietly asks Rileos, "Did he say it would utilize sorcery?" Unaka says to Tirost, "Be brief, be clear. Good advice, I say." Perune goes out. Tirost nods to Unaka. Ghust nods. Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Ghust ponders. Briaen gazes out. Rileos says to Zersha, "Not specifically. Said there could be some localized spots to do it to improve things but it weren't sure because it ain't made the math pole yet." Harvest Daughter Lasan just arrived. Zersha gives Rileos a slight nod. Rileos says to Zersha, "Again, this goes as far as you can trust it." Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "You are the only who has mentioned being tasked by a god. The others blather and babble and assume or are convinced they were sent by heralds, and yet another is just a scholar seeking truth. I trust you over them and suspect the stone is harmless to you. The others however." Unaka says to Maintain, "It happens. Lots of time people need to talk it out to learn too." Numinor nods at Harsh, obviously agreeing with his views. Maintain smiles at Unaka. Zersha quietly says to Rileos, "Once I stopped feeling my legs, I lost track of the conversation that night." Allye nods to Unaka. Numinor says, "Yes, she is trustworthy." Rileos pats Zersha on the back. Tirost says to Unaka, "I'll do my best. Liraxes is an emissary of an entity of the Plane of Probability. It wishes to create a device that will help us to use sorcery in precise locations, which it claims will have the greatest probability of restoring planar balance." Xionara nods at Numinor, obviously agreeing with her views. Felicini leans on Shaylynne. Unaka nods to Harsh. Unaka nods to Tirost. Shaylynne leans on Felicini. Trajan says, "Those sound like targets to me." Rileos quietly says to Zersha, "Buy some pants and some boots, it'll help. It won't, but we all gotta lie to ourselves some kinda ways." Severei says, "I am in agreement, I only trust in the Immortals, whose presence has been felt time and again. None of the other messengers have given me adequate proof of what they say." Tirost says to Unaka, "Your prayers and intuition regarding Liraxes and the device would be of great help to us." Briaen nods to Severei. Harsh nods at Severei, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain nods to Severei. Unaka says, "Truffenyi loves all mortals. I am heartened to hear that you trust in him." Unaka smiles. Numinor rubs a gold medallion symbolizing dedication to Truffenyi. Numinor says, "It is known to me." Trajan asks, "Are we certain Liraxes is a mortal?" Numinor nods to Unaka. Ghust quietly asks, "Okay, so there are magic types that fit together right?" Nawain smiles at Numinor. Unaka says to Tirost, "About this Liraxes, I don't know much about this planar stuff. Let me think." Felicini says, "We might not like all the messengers but we might need them." Severei nods to Unaka. Tirost says to Trajan, "He is not." Numinor smiles at Nawain. Gwenddolyn says, "The one who no longer follows the Immortals, passing out the blue iris to those who make an admission to her, she is the least trustworthy." Couri says, "Liraxus is a thinkg." Trajan nods. Allye nods at Felicini, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain gazes at Lasan. Maintain says to Unaka, "The ox is untroubled by the plow. An example to follow." Felicini smiles at Allye. Harsh quietly says, "If we kill them all we dont hear any bad news. Thats the same thing as no bad things happening." Harsh shrugs. Xionara praises Gwenddolyn. Unaka nods to Maintain. Allye says to Felicini, "It is tricky. But I think you may be right." Xionara nods at Gwenddolyn, obviously agreeing with her views. Karthor peers at Harsh over the rim of his spectacles. Felicini nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views. Unaka slowly asks Tirost, "Do you trust it?" Harsh gazes at Karthor. Karthor says to Harsh, "That's, er, not how news works." Karthor chuckles. Harsh snaps his fingers. Numinor nods to Gwenddolyn. Valynn rubs her left hand. Allye grins at Karthor. Ghust takes a seat. Tirost says to Unaka, "Yes, though I am surprised that I do." Ghust ponders. Rhadyn shakes his head as if clearing it. Unaka says to Tirost, "That seems like the real question to me." Valynn gets a weed from inside her leaf-woven pouch. Briaen says, "Tirost Recall the time we wished to purify the great tree, do you remember? 'Some scars are worn as lessons.' I do not believe we will receive directives in this case upon which course to take. We must choose, and understand that They would let us fail if only to learn from it." Maintain nods at Briaen, obviously agreeing with his views. Darinilor says, "My mind certainly feels like what comes out of the plow end of the ox..." Chrysaor coldly says, "Trust, like love, is easily given but broken assunder just as easily." Harvest Daughter Lasan goes out. Tirost nods to Briaen. Allye trills softly at Briaen. Tirost says to Briaen, "I do remember." Valynn nibbles on a weed thoughtfully. Unaka nods to Chrysaor. Gragnel says, "I am of the opposing camp, I do not trust it. As others have said and I have said earlier, the Immortals will not fail us." Maintain says to Briaen, "That rings true to this lowly monk's personal experience." Xionara looks at Chrysaor and coughs. Unaka says, "Truffenyi did say not to trust everyone." Briaen nods graciously at Maintain, giving him a polite smile. Severei nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Xionara coughs. Unaka says, "You have to look deep inside I think, and decide if you really trust these others." Ghust ponders. Xionara coughs. Xionara clears her throat. Tirost says to Unaka, "I recall, and I will admit I trust you most of all, and thus have sought your advice." Aaiyaah says, "Unaka, I personally feel it will be important for you to meet Liraxes yourself." Allye nods to Unaka. Unaka nods to Aaiyaah. Ghust nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Unaka smiles at Tirost. Gwenddolyn nods at Aaiyaah, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Briaen stands near Rileos. Harsh quietly says, "I fear for those pledged to this other, with the iris." Rileos says, "Think we can trust Liraxes to do the best thing possible for Liraxes. Remains to be seen if that's the best thing for us or if we've gotta fight it." Unaka asks, "Helps when I've got a god backing me, doesn't it?" Harsh frowns. Nawain gives Tekhelet a slight nod. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Tirost. Briaen whispers something to Rileos. Gwenddolyn nods at Harsh, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost laughs! Tirost says to Unaka, "It does." Allye chortles softly at some secret joke. Jecala quietly asks, "Oh...if Liraxes speaks math....I wonder if Unaka can understand it?" Tirost smiles. Jecala ponders. Harvest Daughter Lasan just arrived. Unaka says, "But hey, I always say, take your time when you've got it. Trust is important." Aaiyaah points at Jecala. Aaiyaah says, "That right there." Xionara softly says, "Cannot pledge such.. sorcery by warrior mages has been solution in past." Unaka peers quizzically at Jecala. Elizzibiana chuckles at Xionara. Chrysaor coldly says to Unaka, "I fear this trust applies to you as well. I pray to the All Father you are trustworthy." Maintain says to Unaka, "It is this devout monk's observation that it depends greatly on one's perspective." Allye nods to Shaylynne. Xionara blinks. Unaka asks, "It speaks math, eh?" Jecala nods to Unaka. Xionara angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Elizzibiana. Rileos nods. Xionara softly says, "Is true." Leilanie just skipped in. Unaka nods to Chrysaor. Unaka says to Chrysaor, "I understand." Chrysaor bows to Unaka. Gwenddolyn grins at Maintain, her dimples flashing into view. Leilanie stops teaching. Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Elizzibiana says to Xionara, "Oh, I am very aware of thatm guild youngin." Xionara smiles at Darinilor. Allye trills softly to herself. Xionara nods in agreement. Allye nods at Shaylynne, obviously agreeing with her views. Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "Am not so young." Reverend Gragnel slogs west. Harsh quietly says, "If you got one cleric and one cleric dies you will still end up with one cleric at the end, depending on how that cleric prepared for death. That is the extent of my math. Someone who could speak math to Liraxes would be valuable." Maintain says to Unaka, "For this unworthy monk, Truffenyi's call must be heeded. For those who are more...esoteric in their faith it less imperative and more a decision to make." Couri rubs Leilanie gently, massaging her muscles. Unaka says, "Well, I say, if somebody speaks something else, I can always try to listen. Not sure about math, though." Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "But, shouldn't disagree with yourself. Good to be young." Reverend Gragnel just arrived. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Xionara softly says, "Or at least look young..." Xionara chortles softly at some secret joke. Maintain stands near Nawain. Elizzibiana says to Xionara, "Maybe not in circles within the guild, I'll give you that." Unaka nods to Maintain. Harsh blinks. Maintain whispers something to Nawain. Xionara softly asks Elizzibiana, "What is year of birth?" Aaiyaah says to Unaka, "A pleasure to see you again." Xionara angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Elizzibiana. Briaen nods to Rileos. Aaiyaah sweeps a gold-inlaid tyrium great helm accented with royal blue off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to Unaka at the same time. Rhadyn gruffly says, "Math is for numbers." Unaka smiles at Aaiyaah. Rhadyn scoffs. Lilyrueca pats herself down. Whatever. Gragnel says to himself, "Nice glass of milk to soothe my spirits." Aaiyaah says, "Take care folks, I must be off." Harsh nods at Rhadyn, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost asks Unaka, "If in your travels, orisons or meditations you sense any reason not to build Liraxes' device, will you please send word?" Gragnel praises a cup of cold milk. Crobin sneezes. Unaka says to Aaiyaah, "Good to see you too." Harsh pats Aaiyaah on the back. Aaiyaah clicks his heels together and renders a crisp salute. Ghust waves to Aaiyaah. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Aaiyaah gently kisses Valynn on the cheek. Gwenddolyn waves to Aaiyaah. Unaka says to Tirost, "I will." Numinor chuckles at Xionara. Court Advisor Aaiyaah strides out. Darinilor takes a seat. Valynn smiles. Harvest Daughter Lasan goes out. Tirost smiles at Unaka. Harsh quietly says, "Take care yahyah." Tirost bows to Unaka. Harsh yells, "I said take care." Gwenddolyn says, "Me as well, good eve to everyone." Unaka says to Tirost, "Maybe you should come to the vigil." Crobin chuckles at Harsh. Elizzibiana says to Xionara, "325, walked this side of the lands for over a hundred years now." Leayne grins, revealing her dimples. Leayne nods to Crobin. Tirost says to Unaka, "If it is at all possible for me to be there, I will." Ghust ponders. Light of the World Gwenddolyn goes out. Rileos looks at Briaen, obviously trying not to grin. Unaka nods to Tirost. Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "Oof, half a century on myself." Nawain says to Unaka, "I am saddened that Truffenyi probably doesn't approve of the means I must use to be close to Enelne. It is never my intension to upset any of the Immortals, but I also cannot simply walk away from my Goddess. Perhaps we might find a better way, after all of this. Something that doesn't require godlings and emissaries." Darinilor gets a ham and cheese sandwich on dark rye bread from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Xionara bows her head, acknowledging Elizzibiana. Vaerek asks Harsh, "When is this vigil?" Unaka says, "Seems like a good time for everybody to get their asking done. Can't promise he'll answer though." Elizzibiana grins at Xionara. Rileos grins at Crobin. Leayne grins, revealing her dimples. Iraise goes west. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Harsh quietly says, "Five days time." Xionara flashes a wide grin at Elizzibiana. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Xionara's ears perk up happily. Vaerek nods to Harsh. Zersha grins at Unaka, her dimples flashing into view. Valynn smiles at Harsh. Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Vaddon takes a sip of his rum. Crobin says, "I hope ytou all have a good evening, and maybe see some of you at the OA meeting shortly." Maintain ponders. Numinor rubs Xionara's head. Unaka says to Nawain, "There were a bunch of words in there I didn't understand. I'm sorry you're sad, though." Darinilor quirks one ear sideways in confusion. Tekhelet nods. Leayne waves. Harsh blinks. Harsh shrugs. Nawain nods to Crobin. Crobin pats Karthor on the back. Tirost says, "I should take my leave as well." Felicini waves to Leayne. Tirost flips the lid on his silversteel tankard closed. Nawain nods to Unaka. Malorna hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Malorna with a warm smile. Tirost puts his tankard in his sling bag. Crobin waves to Felicini. Felicini waves to Tirost. Rhadyn gives Crobin a little prod between the shoulder blades. Tirost waves to Felicini. Jecala stretches her arms. Stellar Statistician Urbaj strolls out. Felicini waves to Crobin. Tirost says, "Take care, everyone." Rhadyn just nudged Harsh. Harsh waves. Aerilia waves to Tirost. Leayne giggles. Gragnel nods to Tirost. Crobin shoves futilely at Rhadyn. Tekhelet searches around for a moment. Trajan nods to Tirost. Maintain says to Unaka, "The esoteria is immaterial. The revered sister suffers to maintain her relationship with Enelne. As I do to maintain mine with Mrod." Knight of Meraud Tirost drifts out. Crobin says, "Low center of gravity dwarves." Vaddon says, "Be safe, and may peace favor your works." Harsh quietly asks, "Everyone hug Rhadyn today?" Zalinyar takes a sip of her rum. Vaddon raises his hand in a quick salute. Leilanie says to Nawain, "Oh, that reminds me. I found this while hunting and thought of you." Leilanie gets an Immortal Enelne card from inside her faesilk pack. Tempest Knight Saragos just arrived. Leilanie offers Nawain an Immortal Enelne card. Peace Keeper Vaddon strides out, leading his group. Nawain beams at Leilanie! Nawain accepts Leilanie's Enelne card. Harsh hugs Rhadyn, getting a smile in return. Nawain praises Leilanie. Maintain bows to Saragos. Harsh quietly says, "Ill start." Leilanie smiles. Iraise just arrived. Iraise goes out. Gragnel nods politely to Saragos. Crobin gives Harsh a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles. Rhadyn gruffly exclaims, "May you all die a death in fire so Harsh can raise you!" Nawain puts her card in her slender rugursora. Saragos gives a courteous nod and tips his hat politely. Fearless Crobin saunters out, leading his group. Aerilia nods to Saragos. Nawain nods to Saragos. Jecala quietly says, "He won't let me get close to him with bath stuff." Tekhelet nods to Saragos. Allye nods amiably at Saragos. Darinilor quirks one ear sideways, glancing at Rhadyn in confusion. Rhadyn casually observes the area. Unaka fixes Nawain with a heavy, ponderous stare. Harsh quietly says, "Why dont i get to die in a fire too. Why excluding me." Harsh squints at Rhadyn. Nawain gets a ham and cheese sandwich on dark rye bread from atop a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom. Nawain offers Saragos a ham and cheese sandwich on dark rye bread. Citizen Miraeven goes out. Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Rhadyn gruffly says, "Cause you'd just pheonix up." Nawain gazes at Unaka. Satekne bows his head and chants a prayer. Harsh points at Nawain. Rhadyn just nudged Harsh. Felicini hugs Shaylynne, who wraps her arms around Felicini with a warm smile. Felicini hugs Allye, getting a smile in return. Xionara chortles softly at some secret joke. Allye hugs Felicini, who wraps her arms around Allye with a warm smile. Felicini just hugged Elizzibiana. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Karthor says to Rhadyn, "I'm quite sure ya've missed the point o' resurrection entirely, yeesh." Elizzibiana says to Xionara, "I was there the day Mibgluc, may he reside in the greatest of pain, destroyed Arhats tower. I wwalked the lands when blackfire was a known spell among several war mages." Unaka says to Nawain, "I didn't grow up learning about your gods. I am sorry if you feel distant from them. One thing I have learned is how good it feels to be close to Truffenyi, so it must be very sad to be distant." Couri joins Leilanie's group. Felicini waves to Karthor. Felicini hugs Leilanie, getting a smile in return. Karthor waves to Felicini. Rhadyn nods to Karthor. Maintain says to Rhadyn, "Think of it as fiery music." Leilanie just hugged Felicini. Rhadyn gruffly says, "I have." Felicini just hugged Xionara. Xionara nods to Elizzibiana. Leilanie says, "Be well, everyone." Felicini waves to Maintain. Leilanie curtsies. Hebion nods to Zersha. Gragnel waves to Leilanie. Ghust waves. Shaylynne hugs Felicini, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile. Maintain bows to Felicini. Rhadyn cowers away from Maintain! Leilanie waves to Gragnel. Harsh quietly says, "He gets it completely when he's dead." Harsh quietly says, "Trust me." Healer Leilanie walks out, leading her group. Ghust suddenly yelps! Maintain touches a hand to his mouth and offers a prayer for Felicini's continued safety and good fortune. Harsh nods to Karthor. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Elizzibiana says, "I was there when the Heralkds appeared to us and removed our ability to use magic." Karthor chuckles. Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "Have been doing much research to catch up." Ghust mutters to himself. Unaka takes a bite of the cake. Ghust searches around for a moment. Xionara nods to Elizzibiana. Fury's Touch Rejind goes out. Rhadyn gruffly exclaims to Maintain, "Not with bagpipes I hope!" Felicini curtsies to Unaka. Elizzibiana nods to Xionara. Totally Befuddled Felicini meanders out. Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Sofina suddenly appears out of thin air, arms waving wildly and making loud, weird noises, and jumps at Ghust who shrieks in surprise. Rhadyn's eyes roll back in his head as his knees buckle causing him to collapse in a heap to the ground. Zersha blinks. Jecala quietly exclaims to Rhadyn, "I'll try to find some ale-scented soap!" Ghust snarls at Sofina. Nawain says to Unaka, "I am as close as I can be with my Gods, but it requires stepping far outside of.. Bah." Tekhelet says, "Be ready." Sofina goes out. Allye moves over to guard Ghust. Nawain puts her sandwich in her slender rugursora. Nawain mutters to herself. Rhadyn stands up. Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "Reading about Sraan Mehath.. that right... wind clan." Unaka takes a bite of her cake, and the molten center dribbles down her chin. She wipes it with the back of one hand. Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "For added protection for you. I mean no offense so i hope you take none." Harsh gestures at Unaka. A lucent sphere glistens around Unaka. Harsh smiles. Ale Beard Rhadyn stomps out, leading his group. Elizzibiana nods to Xionara. Elizzibiana sighs. Nawain makes a grunting noise. Xionara nods to Elizzibiana. Jecala laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. Reverend Atmar just arrived. Tekhelet searches around for a moment. Jecala quietly says, "He didn't want to be clean." Elizzibiana says, "May they rest with the softest of ease." Xionara waves to Atmar. Ghust quietly says, "Stupid necro Tryin ta steal mah kids." Atmar waves to Xionara. Atmar smiles. Zersha blinks at Ghust. Xionara smiles. Valynn smiles at Unaka. Ghust nods. Nawain says to Unaka, "Pardon. Requires reaching far outside of what the Immortals seem to think is right." A pained expression crosses Nawain's face. Zersha takes a sip of her chocolate. Valynn pulls the hood of her cloak up. Xionara pats Ghust on the back. Unaka says to Harsh, "Hmm? Sorry, I think I missed what you mean." Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Valynn goes out. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Unaka nods to Nawain. Maintain says to Nawain, "Slightly to the sinister, sister." Elizzibiana praises Xionara. Harsh quietly says to Unaka, "Oh i casted some protection magic on you." Harsh blushes a bright red color. Unaka says to Nawain, "Well. Truffenyi loves you too, just so you know." Allye traces a gossamer pattern in the air. Unaka nods to Harsh. Elizzibiana says to Xionara, "I must leave for now, may your path be safe." Unaka says to Harsh, "Oh, thanks." Nawain chuckles. Nawain nods to Unaka. Xionara softly says to Elizzibiana, "And that other instance, when warrior mages remove magic from area with special sorcery spell." Elizzibiana dips her hands in the basin of water to wash them. Xionara softly says, "To save from danger." Ghust stands up. Nawain says to Unaka, "Hopefully He'll still feel that way when all is said and done, then." Xionara scratches one ear, looking bemused. Elizzibiana nods to Xionara. Ghust bows. Unaka says, "Truffenyi made all of this. This planet. But more importantly, he made us, the mortals." Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Harsh sighs and says a soft prayer to himself. Elizzibiana waves. Councilor Elizzibiana shuffles out. Ghust quietly says, "Ah gotta be leavin also." Nawain hugs Ghust, who wraps his arms around Nawain with a warm smile. Xionara hugs Ghust, getting a smile in return. Ghust hugs Nawain, who wraps her arms around Ghust with a warm smile. Nawain whispers a prayer from her mouth into the wind, certain it will reach Enelne's ear. Ghust hugs Nawain, who wraps her arms around Ghust with a warm smile. Harsh pats Ghust on the back. Xionara softly says to Ghust, "Be well Ghusty." Jecala waves to Ghust. Unaka says to Nawain, "I think any good father is stern when you do something wrong, but it comes from love." Ghust smiles. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Harsh quietly says, "Take care rescue team alpha." Harsh lets out a hearty cheer for Ghust! Ghust quietly says, "You too." Numinor nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Rileos looks at Briaen, obviously trying not to grin. Ghust waves to Jecala. Nawain nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Tekhelet searches around for a moment. Pack Brother Ghust drifts out. Atmar says, "Looks like I missed the fun parts." Harsh quietly says, "Never thought id see the day Ghust was directing the lost." Harsh quietly says, "What a world." Darinilor stands up. Jecala grins at Harsh, her dimples flashing into view. Soul Binder Zakarii goes out. Unaka says to Nawain, "So maybe stop doing what's wrong, say you're sorry. Either way he'll love you though. Just one way is going to make him more sad or angry too." Atmar says, "Ghust isn't a bad guy. Just misunderstood." Xionara blinks. Nawain winces. Nawain nods to Unaka. Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Briaen nods in agreement. Xionara softly says, "Didn't see Zak in crowd." Xionara mutters to herself. Xionara bops herself over the head. Unaka takes a sip of her ale. Jecala giggles a little oddly. Gragnel gazes upward. Zersha puts her chocolate in her beverage holster. Numinor rubs Xionara's head. Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. With a graceful movement of her hands, Zersha lowers her head and sinks into a formal curtsy before Hebion. Karthor says, "Well now that's an interestin' statement. Would that make the immortals the "original caretakers" the Life Mages felt from Elanthia itself? Seems like they'd have to be fer Truffenyi to've made the place, which'd make the Heralds the "lesser guardians" even though they're said to be greater'n the immortals? An' here I thought this was already confusin' enough." Hebion bows to Zersha. Nawain quietly says to Unaka, "But not doing what He thinks is wrong would mean I could never be close to Enelne again." Zersha curtsies gracefully. Karthor twitches. Desert Dancer Zersha goes out. Jecala crosses her eyes. Allye ponders. Jecala blinks. Lord Knight Hebion goes out. Allye says to Karthor, "I interpreted it the other way around at the time." Harsh nods at Karthor, obviously agreeing with his views. Karthor nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views. A nervous tic starts up around Jecala's eye. Nawain nods to Tekhelet. Karthor says to Allye, "Aye, me too." Malorna leans on Xionara. Tekhelet searches around for a moment. Unaka says to Karthor, "Not sure. Just saying what I believe. Truffenyi definitely told me about how he loves us though, and wants us to survive." Harsh quietly says to Karthor, "See? hadda done my plan. No confusion and no problem." Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Karthor grins at Harsh. Unaka says to Nawain, "Maybe there are other ways to be close that you haven't found yet." Karthor nods to Unaka. Gragnel says, "The Immortals I know, I revere, I trust, and I find comfort in. These Heralds are not known to me." Unaka pats Nawain on the back. Nawain nods to Unaka. Briaen nods at Gragnel, obviously agreeing with his views. Lilyrueca says, "But does he have tarts..." Atmar says, "Loving someone and wanting them to survive doesn't always equate to actively HELPING them." Lilyrueca ponders. Allye nods to Gragnel. Lilyrueca gets a quince tart from inside her rucksack. Numinor nods at Atmar, obviously agreeing with his views. Lilyrueca beams! Nawain says to Unaka, "I can hope. And pray, probably." Maintain quietly says to Nawain, "We should ask Melindrha to make her a tabard that says 'Truffenyi Loves You' with a sassy ox on the back." Lilyrueca takes a bite of the tart. Nawain rubs her head. Unaka nods to Nawain. Nawain grins at Maintain. Trajan asks, "Do we know what exactly they're heralding?" Shaylynne declares her sudden desire to take a hike as she blends into her surroundings. Allye nods. Unaka chuckles at Maintain. Numinor rubs a gold medallion symbolizing dedication to Truffenyi. Lilyrueca takes a bite of the tart. Numinor says, "Truffenyi does love us." Numinor smiles. Lilyrueca puts her tart in her rucksack. Unaka smiles at Numinor. Jecala grins like an idiot. Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation. Trajan says, "Heralds aren't usually their own masters, in my experience." Harsh quietly says, "The gods are well aware that we gain the most by doin ourself. To be handed a hand up whenever you fall you will learn to expect the hand more than appreciate it. To help yourself up allows you to appreciate the effort involved. So caring for can often result in no active help at all." Atmar says, "That's not in question. But Just because Truffenyi loves us, doesn't mean that he can or WILL do anything to intervene other than the occasional visit to hug us." Karthor nods to Nawain. Karthor lays his hand on Nawain's arm. Nawain praises Karthor. Harsh shrugs. Karthor says to Nawain, "There y'are, good as new." Unaka says to Atmar, "Well, he sent me. That is a start I think." Nawain exclaims to Karthor, "Thank you!" Harsh sighs and says a soft prayer to himself. Malorna just hugged Atmar. Trajan nods to Unaka. Rileos scratches distractedly at his beard. Numinor says, "He has intervened on my behalf before." Numinor looks at Atmar and shrugs. Numinor says, "But, maybe not this time." Darinilor takes a bite of the sandwich. Gragnel says, "A hug from Truffenyi sounds pretty great right about now, to be honest." Unaka says, "Did anyone else have a question for me that I missed? Sorry if I missed you." Nawain gathers up a luxurious picnic cloth resembling an apple blossom in bloom and all the food it holds, stuffs the bundle into an artistically woven applewood picnic basket adorned with Rakash charms, and closes the lid securely. Gragnel says, "So much gloom." Nawain puts her basket in her slender rugursora. Unaka says to Gragnel, "I can give you a hug." Gragnel beams at Unaka! Atmar asks, "And that's all well and good, but I could send someone to you and give them a cryptic message that you'd never fdigure out. What good is it?" Gragnel stretches out a hand imploringly to Unaka. Allye says to Gragnel, "That's a fair point." Unaka says to Gragnel, "Better set down your milk." Unaka puts her cake in her thick satchel. Nawain giggles. Unaka puts her ale in her thick satchel. Briaen says to Unaka, "It is a difficult path to walk, being directly charged with Divine duty. I empathize. I often find some will not listen to me either." Allye giggles at Unaka. Fekete goes out. Gragnel nods. Numinor says to Atmar, "That is why I suggested to pray to him directly for guidance." Unaka gives Gragnel a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with her knuckles. Karthor asks Unaka, "Somewhat minor one fer the benefit o' my Empath-brain...is the Vigil spell among the ones yer now able to cast?" Numinor says, "Unaka can only share what she knows." Gragnel adjusts his fur toupee into place. Unaka flashes a wide grin at Gragnel. Gragnel blushes a bright red color. Numinor smiles. Atmar says, "I know as a Cleric what I'm saying may seem....out of kilter but I'm also a realist. The gods have more to worry about than us." Nawain grins at Gragnel. Numinor nods to Atmar. Numinor says, "This is true." Gragnel says to Unaka, "...thanks." Maintain says to Unaka, "Many thanks for joining us, Paladin." Gragnel takes a sip of his milk. Rileos asks Unaka, "Yeah, what are you doin later?" Rileos looks at Unaka, obviously trying not to grin. Harsh smirks. Unaka says to Gragnel, "Sorry, we 'Togs sometimes hug hard." Unaka gestures at Karthor. A shaft of pure white light pools in Unaka's hands and streaks out toward Karthor, bathing him in its radiance. Maintain says, "She said something about Togball." Atmar chuckles. Harsh blinks at Unaka. Maintain takes a sip of his stout. Karthor jots down some notes. Jecala quietly says, "Be right back." Jecala goes out. Gragnel says to Unaka, "I will admit, I wasn't ready for that. However, it was a good hug." Allye says to Atmar, "What you're saying mirrors something Briaen said before, that the Immortals know that sometimes we must learn our lessons and bear our scars, too." An inky black configuration of fractals and geometric abstractions slowly creeps across Tekhelet's skin. Nawain curiously asks Unaka, "Have you ever tried resurrecting someone?" Unaka says to Atmar, "Maybe the other gods. Truffenyi is real worried though. He's with us." Karthor says, "Looks like, eh? That gives me an idea fer the Paladins to try. Well, step one of a plan, anyway. They'll need to work out the rest 'emselves." Xionara nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views. Atmar nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views. Harsh quietly says, "We can kill someone real quick if you wanna try." Harsh smiles. Unaka says to Nawain, "I doubt I could do that." Harsh curls his twitching fingers into claws, grating in an icy voice, "Blood...for...Aldauth..." Nawain snorts, loudly. Atmar says, "Exactly. They made us and they have faith in our ability to figure this out on our own." Nawain nods at Harsh, obviously agreeing with his views. Nawain grins. Numinor nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views. Nawain nods to Unaka.

Trajan asks Unaka, "'Does that mean he's likely to be responsive if we petition him properly?" Harsh quietly says, "Could fall through space and time and end on a plane of booze and food too. The banquet plane." Allye nods to Unaka. Harsh shrugs. Darinilor says to Maintain, "I must thank you for being so willing to share your knowledge. Not only in current events, but also with the class on Theurgy. I admit that the former is more interesting, while the latter is more immediately useful." Harsh quietly says, "If there isnt one of those, there should be." Unaka says to Trajan, "I hope so, but I can't say for sure." Harsh nods. Maintain smiles at Darinilor. Trajan nods to Unaka.
