Shaylynne recites:

   "The emphasis is on balance, if it were so simple that everyone increases the already commonplace sorcery of this world and the notion is dismissed as we are incapable of doing less, we certainly have not achieved that.  If widespread, nonchalant casting is so pervasive that no one was able to stop, and it has in fact brought us to where we are today, I feel balance is in the opposite direction."

Miraena gives a slight nod.

Allye recites:

   "What we have ahead of us is work. A good deal of work, in fact. Not glamorous work, not anything that can draw the interest of a crowd with the strange novelty of tearing holes between our plane and others."

Onara takes a sip of her reserve.

Unaka asks, "Why do they do it?"

Zersha quietly says, "It doesn't really sound like they're on different sides, both want our world to not end."

Medir quietly says, "Is it so hard t'listen to everyone with an open mind."

Arkalye moves into position to cover Miraena from harm.

Asildu says to Unaka, "Because someone has to."

Medir rolls his eyes.

Anuril gets some creamy blue cheese puffs from inside a light blue silk-covered case.

Shaylynne nods to Medir.

Vaerek strides southwest.

Stelling nods at Medir, obviously agreeing with his views.

Mage Slayer Golameth skips northwest.

Amaci nods to Zersha.

Raising his Idon's Wench whiskey to Medir, Stelling gives him a toast.

Zyros chortles softly at some secret joke.

Allye smiles at Asildu.

Unaka says, "I am not here to ruin anything. I like a party. And it sounds like we're raising coin for the right cause."

Medir takes a sip of his white.

Szarevar says to Zyros, "I think there is some kind of zoning statute that only allows activity like that at the Viper's Nest."

Kethrai nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Zersha nods to Unaka.

Shaylynne asks, "As believers in the cause of curbing sorcery, and sympathizers for the plight of the villagers, is it possible to serve both the Immortals and the Heralds?"

Asildu says, "Then there is no need to argue. Let us focus on the cause."

Asildu nods.

Shaylynne glances at Unaka.

Medir nods in agreement.

Shaylynne glances at Miraena.

Allye nods in agreement.

Miraena asks, "Perhaps I'll take this opportunity to ask if anyone else is ready to pledge to cease their use of sorcery, or to not begin using it in the first place?"

Zersha says to Shaylynne, "I agree, I don't think we're on different sides."

Unaka says to Asildu, "I just want to know if the Heralds care about us. You haven't said that part."

Shaylynne nods to Zersha.

Vixonia says, "We raise assistance to those in need. There can't be any better reason in my mind."

Onara takes a sip of her reserve.

Teavira serenely says to Unaka, "Because he can't."

Asildu says to Unaka, "I've said all that needs to be said, for now. Let us not take this night from Miraena."

Karthor says to Miraena, "May's well, I had no intention o' startin' anyway."

Ruea asks, "Did I get here just as it got awkward or was it ongoing?"

Anuril takes a bite of the puffs.

Unaka gives a slight nod.

Miraena says to Shaylynne, "Oh of course. I am not here asking anyone to worship the Heralds. Our message, Asildu and I's, is that sorcery is responsible for these disasterous effects and must be stopped."

Illiya grins at Ruea, her dimples flashing into view.

Miraena beams!

Miraena stands near Nilme.

Onara says to Ruea, "Ongoing."

Miraena gets a blue iris from inside her craftsman's satchel.

Nilme smiles.

Kethrai says to Ruea, "You just had good timing."

Trajan says to Unaka, ""I believe what he's saying is that they care about us in so far as we serve their purposes."

Miraena says, "Adventurer Nilme, thank you for your pledge."

Saragos says, "I think the question about whether the Heralds care about us isn't the most relevant. You can have common interest with someone who doesn't give a rip for you."

Medir says, "Quite."

Saragos says, "I do have one question for the acolytes of the Heralds, though, that I have not heard any answers for, which I want to ask with an open mind. What proof do you have for Sorcery being the cause of Wild Magic? If you have no proof, do you even have a working theory about the mechanism by which Sorcery caused Wild Magic? If you have no theory, I'd even settle for circumstantial evidence. I'm looking for anything at all that people can hang their hat on other than, 'It's bad because we say so, just trust us.'."

Nilme gets a smokewood treble viol with dragon-shaped tuning pegs from inside her musician's case.

Madigan puts his coffee in his traveler's pack.

Miraena beams!

Miraena curtsies to Karthor.

Stelling takes a sip of his whiskey.

Ruea winks at Allye.

Miraena asks Karthor, "A pleasure to meet you, Adventurer...?"

Trajan nods to Unaka.

Allye exclaims to Ruea, "Shaylynne is collecting the donations, if you please!"

Leayne takes a sip of her champagne.

Vixonia asks Ruea, "Fashion for the poor who have lost everything?"

Trajan nods to Unaka.

Stelling gazes thoughtfully at Szarevar.

Shaylynne says to Ruea, "To repair the villages destroyed or damaged by wild magic and mana surges."

Onara says to Anuril, "Hmm. I haven't been brave enough to try them yet."

Ruea asks Vixonia, "Who could possibly need it more?"

Onara grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view.

Saragos asks Szarevar, "It's really just one question that I tried to phrase more politely: Why should we believe them?"

Teavira's tail undulates lazily through the air.

Casari asks Szarevar, "A babble?"

Anuril chortles softly at some secret joke.

Szarevar takes a sip of his wine.

Szarevar nods to Casari.

Zersha asks Szarevar, "How about a school of crows and a murder of fish?"

Arkalye gets a blue iris from inside his jackal skull.

Shaylynne asks Miraena, "Do you have any thoughts on where the donations should go, directly?"

Saragos asks Asildu, "And I'm asking, even if Sorcery is bad, what proof there is that it's causing Wild Magic?"

Aerilia tilts her head, clearly curious about something.

Asildu asks Saragos, "You strike me as one who holds a great knowledge of magic. To that, I would ask how much study you have done on the stability of it?"

Briaen shakes his head at Unaka.

Unaka loudly says to Briaen, "What? I couldn't hear you there."

Anuril takes a bite of the puffs.

Miraena says to Shaylynne, "If you would be so kind as to hold onto them for me? We can arrange to have you bring them to Gaethrend's, where I am staying."

Ysindre grins.

Saragos asks Asildu, "I've studied a lot. If you want me to talk about my own studies, I can, but I think that's a distraction. Look, I'm begging you to give us some reason to believe you. Why is it bad, excluding, 'X says its bad,' and how is it causing Wild Magic?"

Madigan chuckles.

Ruea gives Shaylynne some coins.

Miraena says, "If I missed anyone else who was ready to pledge, please speak again."

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

Miraena blushes a bright red color.

Shaylynne nods to Unaka.

Onara takes a sip of her reserve.

Teavira gets a frosted mug of birch beer from atop a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.

Merilwen says to Medir, "I thought it would be tequila."

Golameth asks Asildu, "Those are curious growths on your arms, head and hands, almost scale like, what are they?"

Leayne puts her case in her rose colored haversack.

Vixonia flashes a quick grin.

Phierre scratches his head.

Asildu says to Saragos, "This isn't something I can personally demonstrate, which is what makes this a difficult question to answer. This instability with magic has been growing over time, years, decades, centuries. The amount of sorcery that has been used has been slowly tipping the balance and now we're here."

Vixonia dances lightly across the dance floor with Stelling.

Shaylynne observes Asildu with fascination.

Teavira snorts, loudly.

Stelling twirls Vixonia around, suddenly pushing her down in a dramatic dip! Well, it started out dramatic at least, but a combination of sweaty fingers and mistimed movements leaves Vixonia sprawled on the floor. Maybe she needs a new dance partner.

Szarevar says, "I can honestly say that the dramatically increased frequency of incinerating my hands led me to suspend my practice of sorcery. That did not really take a divine messenger or more time added on to my community service. It just makes sense. Until we know the truth."

Szarevar nods emphatically.

Allye puts her boutonniere in a giant party sack bedazzled with countless glitterstars and shadowstars.

Saragos says to Asildu, "Look, we all know the instability is growing. No arguments there we've seen it. I'm asking how it links to Sorcery. Can you give me a theory of the case, a rough idea, anything about HOW the use of Sorcery did, or possibly could be the cause of Wild Magic? I'm not asking for incontrovertible evidence - just roughly outline your theory."

Unaka takes a bite of the pate.

Phierre whispers something to Elore.

Phierre grins at Elore, his dimples flashing into view.

Asildu says to Saragos, "Every time a sorcerous spell is cast, it throws the balance off. Little by little. Piece by piece. The higher sorceries cause greater damage, in more ways than lower sorceries, but all sorceries are an unnatural utilization."

Allye nods at Unaka, obviously agreeing with her views.

Vixonia grins at Stelling.

Zersha says to Unaka, "Allye always seems to find the neatest foods."

Unaka says, "I've come to believe that food is really at the heart of civilization."

Medir ponders.

Anuril whispers something to Kethrai.

Allye puts her boutonniere in a giant party sack bedazzled with countless glitterstars and shadowstars.

Vixonia asks Stelling, "Were you hiding under some poor soul's bed, my dear?"

Allye gets a light iris corsage from inside a rugged blue backpack.

Allye puts her corsage in a giant party sack bedazzled with countless glitterstars and shadowstars.

Medir nods to Unaka.

Golameth says to Saragos, "Maybe next time we remove his head and take a peek inside."

Illiya nods to Unaka.

Katriwen nods to Allye.

Unaka says, "But it seemed like they could have just said the Heralds care about us too. And they didn't."

Vixonia says to Saragos, "I just don't feel like I need proof. I just don't like it. Never have."

Szarevar says, "What I took away from the whole thing is lots of people have strong opinions and rice wine makes me really hungry."

Teavira nods to Shaylynne.

Unaka shrugs.

Stelling says, "I dunno, I can accept a thing as bad without particular proof, I just feel the badness and debad myself."

Merilwen says to Szarevar, "He thinks like you, love."

Stelling dances cheek to cheek with Vixonia.

Saragos says to Golameth, "If only we could gain knowledge that way."

Szarevar says to Merilwen, "I am so sorry."

Stelling says to Szarevar, "Because it's one of the worst of the wines, that's why."

Merilwen giggles at Szarevar.

Nilme gently sets a smokewood treble viol into her musician's case.

Onara says, "And cheese puffs can be blue."

Allye says, "I am curious that she is so certain that the visions are from the Heralds. It doesn't seem like what we know of the Heralds to communicate so directly."

Shaylynne says to Unaka, "I think the Heralds likely care about themselves, but don't want to dismiss that sorcery is the cause."

Vixonia nods to Stelling.

Karthor asks, "I don't s'pose he gave ya some guidelines on what makes said wisdom-bearers trustworthy or not, eh?"

Golameth nods to Imroth.

Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Stelling asks Karthor, "You don't trust my wisdom-bearing?"

Medir says to Unaka, "The messengers aside, the call to cease with sorcery and t'help the common folk doesn't seem particularly malevolent..."

Stelling grins at Karthor.

Karthor chuckles.

Unaka asks, "If they don't care about us, if they haven't had any kind of relationship with us... how can we trust them?"

Stelling twirls Vixonia gracefully across the dance floor.

Saragos says to Unaka, "I'm a practical man, and I have no problem working with people who don't care about me, so long as our goals align."

Medir nods to Unaka.

Stelling gazes soulfully into Vixonia's eyes, drawing her a bit closer as they dance.

Merilwen snuggles up to Szarevar and cradles him in her arms.

Medir says, "We certainly have common ground."

Unaka asks, "But they're the only ones saying that it's sorcery, aren't they? So if we think that's the cause, it's because they said so, right?"

Shaylynne ponders.

Unaka rubs her head.

Illiya pats Golameth on the back.

Saragos says to Ezerak, "He really didn't sketch out his theory. Ok, so the Balance is off. We all know that. I could pull a random ruffian out of the Middens and he'd be able to tell me that. Saying the Balance is off and it's getting worse doesn't say anything about how Sorcery is the cause."

Szarevar leans back against Merilwen with a loving smile.

Shaylynne chuckles at Unaka.

Medir chuckles.

Stelling asks Golameth, "She does cause trouble doesn't she?"

Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Unaka.

Shaylynne asks Unaka, "Are you saying it is not?"

Stelling glances at Illiya.

Medir says to Unaka, "There's th'rub."

Allye asks Unaka, "Do you not think it is sorcery?"

Katriwen gets a small cut-crystal glass of plum nectar from atop a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.

Shaylynne nods to Unaka.

Merilwen nods to Saragos.

Arkalye gruffly says, "Maybe those who rely on Sorcery as a crutch.. but to many sorcery has always been malevalent."

Katriwen puts her case in her book bag.

Stelling bows to Vixonia.

Saragos says, "Like, I could even sit here and theorize for you now, in a better way than Asildu, why Sorcery might be the cause. I've got some ideas. But he just refuses to answer the question in any way."

Stelling winks at Vixonia.

Unaka says, "Just know that maybe I don't trust them. And I've got the whole civilization to protect."

Vixonia giggles at Stelling.

Medir nods to Saragos.

Vixonia leans over to give Stelling a friendly smooch.

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

Rozalynde asks, "I don't like that they don't have a path forward, stopping doing a thing isn't taking an action, it's the opposite of taking action. How do we fix wild magic by not doing magic?"

Szarevar shakes Karthor's hand.

Nilme smiles.

Illiya beams at Nilme!

Karthor chuckles at Stelling.

Shaylynne asks Unaka, "Would you accept my own donation, to help with your rebuilding as well?"

Stelling quickly salutes Karthor by bringing two fingers to his brow.
