Valynn/Logs/20240829 Zoluren Defense Council Meeting

Zoluren Defense Council Meeting

Arrival and Greetings

The event took place in the largest room of the Town Hall, a space typically used for public meetings and lectures. The setting was notable for its dark oak-paneled walls, polished floors, and padded benches arranged around a small stage and podium. This particular meeting had drawn a large crowd, with various figures from different walks of life in attendance. These included scholars, warriors, healers, and adventurers from across Elanthia, all gathered to discuss the defense of Zoluren in the face of looming threats.

As attendees arrived, there was an air of camaraderie as old friends and allies greeted one another. Hugs and smiles were exchanged, and light-hearted banter filled the room. Notable figures such as Phierre, Tirost, Illiya, Allye, and others made their presence known. The atmosphere was warm, with many expressing their gratitude for being able to come together in such uncertain times.

The Meeting Begins

Tirost, who seemed to be one of the central figures organizing the meeting, opened the proceedings by welcoming everyone and setting the tone for the discussion. He emphasized the importance of the gathering, stating that dangers loomed all around, and those who wished to resist annihilation might soon be called upon to defend Zoluren. The purpose of the meeting was to share survival strategies and ensure that everyone was prepared for combat and possible invasions.

Survival in Combat

The first topic discussed was survival in combat situations. Tirost suggested that everyone should have a quick method to transition from a relaxed state to battle-ready, emphasizing the importance of having armor, a shield, and a parry stick equipped, as well as being in a default fighting stance. He shared his preference for a stance that relied heavily on evasion and his shield.

Calabra added to the conversation by stressing the importance of having a healer, an escape route, or a reliable partner to drag you to safety if necessary. Rileos chimed in, advising that recognizing when you're in over your head and retreating before becoming another body in triage was crucial.

Valynn contributed by emphasizing the importance of knowing the locations of primary and secondary triage areas, as well as being familiar with the layout of the Temple. This was met with agreement, as others in the room nodded in approval.

Triage Locations and Communication

The conversation then shifted to the topic of triage locations during invasions. Tirost asked for opinions on calling out triage locations on the gweth (a form of telepathic communication in DragonRealms). Harsh suggested it was acceptable if the locations were bannered, while Avrenka proposed using codewords if the invaders were intelligent.

The discussion took a slight detour when Phierre questioned Tirost's role in leading the Zoluren Defense Council despite being a member of the Northern Watch, which is based in Therengia. This led to a brief exchange about provincial loyalties, but Tirost clarified that his goal was to help everyone survive, regardless of provincial boundaries.

Sharing Effective Strategies

Tirost steered the conversation back to practical matters, recommending early and frequent retreats when facing overwhelming danger. Others, like Aerilia and Calabra, shared their own survival tactics, including the importance of fleeing when necessary and carrying herbs for healing when triage was not accessible.

Avrenka mentioned that as a Moon Mage, snap-casting teleportation spells to ripplegate locations had saved his life numerous times. Tekhelet suggested that sharing which spells were most effective against specific enemies could also be crucial. This led to a discussion about the recent drake invasion, where avoiding lightning spells had proven to be a lifesaver.

Community and Inclusivity

As the conversation continued, Allye stood up to speak, introducing herself to those who might not know her. She expressed her pride in the community's willingness to come together to protect Zoluren and shared her hope that their efforts would lead to a greater emphasis on defense in the future. Her speech was met with applause and cheers, as many agreed with her sentiments.

Valynn also took the opportunity to speak, expressing her commitment to protecting Zoluren despite being a citizen of Therengia. She emphasized the importance of setting aside provincial differences and working together for the greater good.

The Role of the Immortals vs. the Heralds

The discussion took a more philosophical turn when Avrenka brought up the conflict between the Immortals and the Heralds, urging everyone to choose a side in this divine war. His passionate speech highlighted the importance of not being lukewarm in this struggle and reaffirmed his allegiance to the Immortals. This topic stirred some in the audience, with some agreeing and others, like Elurora, speculating that there might be a third unknown force at play.

Briaen then delivered a stirring speech about the importance of standing firm in their faith and not letting fear or doubt sway them. He spoke of the looming battle and the need to remain united and steadfast in their devotion to the Immortals. His words were powerful, and many in the room felt inspired by his resolve.

Preparation for the Unknown

The meeting continued with practical discussions about preparing for the unknown. Tirost invited Nawain to take the floor, and she introduced the herbal remedies that had been painstakingly prepared for the community. These remedies were meticulously labeled to ensure quick identification during combat, and Nawain provided instructions on how to use them effectively.

Nawain’s work was met with widespread appreciation, as everyone understood the importance of being well-prepared for whatever might come. The distribution of remedies was organized, with different people assigned to distribute specific types.

The Meeting Concludes

As the meeting drew to a close, Tirost thanked everyone for their participation and contributions. There was a sense of unity and determination among the attendees, despite the underlying tension and uncertainty about the future. People began to leave, but not before making plans to continue their preparations and stay in touch for future updates.

Unaka, one of the key figures, offered blessings to those who wanted them as she stepped outside, while others stayed behind to discuss further plans or simply catch up with old friends. The event ended on a note of solidarity, with everyone agreeing that no matter what came next, they would face it together.

Phierre says, "I though it was a part of your charter to be a member of therengia."

Tirost shakes his head at Phierre.

Allye says, "As discordant as we often are, this does seem like the kind of time when we should set those differences aside and work toward the common purpose of protecting our province and its people."

Tirost nods to Illiya.

Illiya asks, "I think the name 'Zoluren Defense Council' confused me as well. Does this meeting have anything to do with Zoluren, or is it just general defense tips?"

Phierre says to Illiya, "Thank you."

Phierre clucks his tongue and shakes his head.

Tirost says to Illiya, "The reason for this meeting in this place at this time is because of the rescue attempt."

Illiya asks Tirost, "Can you elaborate a bit?"

Wild Card Elore came through some heavy double doors.

Imroth says, "It would be a good idea if Zoluren in general could come to an agreement on a path forward to resolve Wild Magic."

Phierre smiles at Elore, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.

Elurora chuckles at Imroth.

Allye nods to Imroth.

Calabra nods to Imroth.

Tirost asks Illiya, "Has Saragos spoken to you about his plans?"

Siendra says to Imroth, "That's a...sweet thought."

Elore waves to Zersha.

Tirost says to Illiya, "He feels strongly that secrecy is necessary, but my hope was to help and prepare Zoluren specifically for anything that may happen during the event he plans to lead."

Lord Knight Hebion came through some heavy double doors.

Elurora blinks at Katriwen.

Aerilia tilts her head to one side.

Katriwen shrugs.

Avrenka says to Katriwen, "Really."

Calabra gasps!

Illiya says, "Really?! Well now I want some cheese."

Avrenka says to Katriwen, "Also how did you even discover that."

Allye quietly says to Calabra, "A low bar."

Calabra chortles softly at some secret joke.

Katriwen says, "Not sure how it works, but I heard about it from someone else and Allye tested it to make sure."

Illiya begins chortling at Allye.

Tekhelet says, "I think sharing what spells are effective against the enemy. Letting others know that perhaps a fire spell is better than a woter spell for example can help."

Tirost nods to Tekhelet.

Rileos suddenly blinks and wakes up from his daydream.

Tirost says, "In the recent drake invasion, Anuril told us not to use lightning spells, and that helped me a lot."

Phierre looks at Elore and shrugs.

Elore joins Phierre's group.

Trajan asks, "How fattening must that cheese be, that it saturates your blood so well it makes it too thick to come out of a wound?"

Avrenka's shadow briefly flaps its wings.  Wait, wings?  However, when next you look there is no sign of wings.

Tekhelet says, "Communication is important in combat."

Trajan blinks.

Calabra says, "I feel like only the Gods may know."

Nawain nods at Tekhelet, obviously agreeing with his views.

Phierre gazes off into the distance.

Tekhelet glances at Siendra.

Siendra hums to herself.

Allye gets a wax-covered kirm cheese from inside a rugged puce backpack.

Allye offers Katriwen a wax-covered kirm cheese.

Katriwen accepts Allye's kirm cheese.

Tirost says to Siendra, "They worked really well, I hate to admit."

Nawain says, "If your spouse is short, tie a flag on a very tall pole so you can find them in a true melee."

Calabra chuckles.

Katriwen laughs at Allye.

Nawain jabs an elbow into Tekhelet's ribs.  The honeymoon must be over.

Karthor says, "There's always "speak up if ya need healin'", I s'pose. That an' remainin' in a group is helpful to any healers that may be in the fray with ya."

Nawain grins at Tekhelet.

Siendra preens.  Someone's pleased with herself!

Katriwen puts her cheese in her book bag.

Calabra asks, "Allye how much cheese do you have?"

Sukidesu laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Illiya says to Allye, "I would like some cheese too then."

Tirost says, "Let's move on to those other things that help during invasions."

Karthor grins at Elurora.

Illiya nods at Elurora, obviously agreeing with her views.

Tirost recites:
    "We will next welcome discussions on the best way to help during invasions."

Sukidesu says to Elurora, "Cheese is good to hoard in your pockets."

Sukidesu nods.

Rileos glances at Elurora.

Elurora grins at Sukidesu.

Siendra says to Elurora, "You need to ask yourself, though...if you *trust* pocket cheese."

Elurora says to Siendra, "More than I trust some people."

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Siendra.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Calabra says, "I will always trust Allye's cheese."

Tirost says, "Casting benefical spells on those around you is something I value a lot."

Siendra says, "Good point."

Illiya quietly says to Elurora, "Good one."

Elurora winks at Illiya.

Allye nods to Tirost.

Elurora flashes a wide grin at Illiya.

Phierre whispers something to Elore.

Katriwen nods to Tirost.

Calabra taps an electrum kathla of eight incongruous medals depicting adventures of yore that he is wearing.

Calabra examines his kathla.

Tirost says, "Those that boost or protect are a really big help."

Medir came through some heavy double doors.

Illiya waves to Medir.

Tirost says, "The ones that can be cast on others differ with each guild though."

Medir smiles.

Lileath appears calmer than she did a moment ago.

Tekhelet says to Tirost, "Calling out where the high level foes are."

Laureh grins at Nawain.

Nawain nods at Laureh, obviously agreeing with her views.

Phierre says, "Well, this has been very informative. I hope you all have a lovely evening... oh and Briaen. Do watch your back."

Nawain waves to Medir.

Elurora glances at some heavy double doors.

You arch your eyebrow.

Tirost says to Tekhelet, "Well said."

Allye glances at Briaen.

>shak head valy
You cluck your tongue and shake your head.

Trajan acts puzzled.

Tirost says to Tekhelet, "It helps other fighters join up."

Calabra gives Medir a studious look, as if committing him to memory.

Kaith Partani Souv went through some heavy double doors.

>nod medi court
You tip your balaclava to Medir with a courteous nod.

Tirost says, "Draging the fallen to triage is also very helpful."

Avrenka asks, "Should we establish a code word for triage for tomorrow?"

Tirost nods to you.

With a flourish, Tekhelet produces a commemorative tursa coin with rippled edges hidden in his palm and begin to roll it across his knuckles from the index to the little finger and back again.

Avrenka asks, "Or a pre-established location?"

Tirost says to Avrenka, "I have strong opinions on that..."

Medir leans on Allye.

Teavira serenely says, "If you have a caravan, you can use it for dragging bodies, though granted I haven't done that in ages..."

Teavira ponders.

Allye beams at Medir!

Calabra examines his goggles.

>'Speaking of triage, it's been a long time since being in a large invasion here. Has triage changed much?
You ask, "Speaking of triage, it's been a long time since being in a large invasion here. Has triage changed much?"

Allye leans over and scratches Medir's back.

Medir grins.

Elurora looks at Briaen, obviously trying not to grin.

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

Medir just hugged Siendra.

Hebion begins chortling at Briaen.

Illiya snaps to attention and hails Warbrolus with a crisp hand salute.

Crobin gives Warbrolus a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles.

Khozh Elizzibiana came through some heavy double doors.

Tirost says to you, "My short answer is no, but some feel we should be more subtle with triage."

Imroth's ears flip forward for a moment.

>'And what about raising in the cleric guild? Is that still done?
You ask, "And what about raising in the cleric guild? Is that still done?"

Elurora gives Briaen a slight nod.

Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Katriwen asks, "Some of us have never seen an invasion, are there predetermined places?"

Rileos says, "I'm all for cloak and dagger funsies, but we all know the empath guild is going to be triage because it -always is-."

Medir chuckles at Rileos.

Briaen nods to Rileos.

Calabra says, "Oh Katriwen they are so much fun."

Sukidesu says, "People generally drag bodies to the empath guild these days, the cleric guild...is not used so much for that anymore."

Tirost says to Katriwen, "It is through the doors of the Empath Guild in the courytyard, generally."

Illiya says, "It's the place that makes the most sense."

Avrenka says, "I know the temple used to be a backup triage locatoin."

Katriwen grins at Calabra.

Allye says, "It's true. When we don't have an organized effort, Empaths and Clerics do know to gather there when needed."

Katriwen quietly says to Calabra, "You would think so."

Tirost asks Illiya, "Was that what you were thinking?"

Avrenka says, "But the empath guild is typically attacked in intelligent invasions as well."

Warbrolus gives Crobin a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles.

Illiya says to Tirost, "The Empath guild? For sure."

Elurora slowly says, "They've been using the downstairs area for triage since it's warded against violence."

Avrenka's shadow stretches slowly towards Tirost, the mouth distorting into a maw full of fangs, and bites his foot before returning to its natural .

Warbrolus lifts his face to the sky and howls.  The haunting song of a wolf resonates through the area.

Nawain lifts her face to the sky and howls.  The haunting song of a wolf resonates through the area.

Elurora says, "I forget what the area is called, blue or white or something."

Rileos says to Elurora, "See, this is why you can't have pocket cheese, you're gonna forget about it and it'll turn."

Elurora chuckles at Karthor.

Tirost chuckles at Karthor.

Elurora says to Rileos, "I don't think you can stop me from having pocket cheese."

Elurora looks at Rileos, obviously trying not to grin.

Rileos says to Elurora, "Why would I want to?  This is gonna be hilarious for me."

Elurora laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Tirost says, "I think we should leave it to the Empaths and Clerics to decide the place for Triage in Zoluren."

Calabra nods to Tirost.

Illiya bobs a quick curtsy to Aaiyaah.

Warbrolus beams at Allye!

Teavira grins at Illiya.

Tirost smiles at Aaiyaah.

Allye says, "Truffenyi's Chosen, Unaka, was in many ways correct to come to Crossing when seeking the center of civilization. I concede I am quite biased, but so much weight of history falls upon the shoulders of this province and her people."

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 Illiya at the same time.

Avrenka exclaims, "People of Elanthia!"

Elurora gazes at Avrenka.

Avrenka says, "As much as we preach unity and desire peace amongst all beings, it has become clear to me that lines have been drawn between the Heralds and the Immortals. As much as I wish for all to live in harmony, visions of late show there is a war being waged."

Siendra gazes at Avrenka.

Avrenka says, "I believe we must choose for ourselves this day whom we will serve: whether the Immortals our ancestors served, or the Heralds from the times of ancient primal Elanthia."

Zersha tilts her head, clearly curious about something.

Katriwen gasps!

Avrenka says, "Let us not deceive ourselves thinking we can choose both sides, or that all entites desire to live in harmony. Make no mistake, war is already being waged, and it is between divine beings."

Calabra puts his morgawr in his war belt.

Eyst tugs at the tip of his mustache distractedly.

Nawain observes Avrenka with fascination.

Momentarily distracted, she reaches up and gives it a thorough scratching.

Nawain gazes at Briaen.

Briaen says, "We stand at the precipice of a great and terrible storm. Uncertainty howls about us. Shadows of doubt creep closer with every passing day. There is a battle coming.  One that cannot be avoided or delayed. The time for restraint, for idle speculation, and for waiting has passed."

Nawain nods at Briaen, obviously agreeing with his views.

Briaen says, "We know of our beloved lost. Five members of our faith, taken from us by unseen hands."

Elurora frowns.

Allye trills softly to herself.

Briaen says, "We know of emissaries who claim to speak for the Heralds.  Emissaries who by their own admission have turned away from the Divine. Who dare to suggest that the sacred gifts of magic evolve no more."

Tekhelet nods to Briaen.

Sukidesu nods.

Briaen says, "These voices sow discord and fear among us, but we must not let them sway our hearts."

Zersha smiles at Hebion, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Briaen says, "The time is upon us to rise as one, to gird ourselves with the armor of our convictions, and to wield the weapons of truth, righteousness, and unwavering faith. Remember: faith is our shield, our light in the darkness, and our guide. No matter what may come, no matter what trials we may face, we must remain terrifyingly steadfast. For it is through our unwavering belief, both in our sacred Immortals and one another that we will overcome the threats that would consume us."

Know, feel, and believe that the dawn will come.  It is up to us to ensure that the shadows are driven back, that the faith remains strong."

Laureh nods at Briaen, obviously agreeing with his views.

Holy Guardian Unaka came through some heavy double doors.

Briaen says, "And when this all has passed, may the world remember: we did not cower in the face of uncertainty. We stood, we fought, and we prevailed.  When the dust settles, when this terror is but a memory, the light of the Thirteen will still shine."
