Sceth chuckles at Valynn.

Elurora touches Aemaranth with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.

Siendra asks, "Please, who wishes to address Davrion or Cambin?"

Elurora raises her hand.

Jaelia raises her hand.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Harsh gets a fiery red silk prayer tapestry embroidered with a brilliant golden phoenix from inside his wyvern skull.

Harsh reverently lays his prayer tapestry at his feet, smoothing out its corners.

Harsh sits down on the prayer tapestry.

Siendra says, "We will go in order, then.  Beginning with Elurora."

(Elurora steps forward and clears her throat.)

Imroth leans on Illiya.

You gaze at Elurora.

Elurora says, "My words are for everyone really, I want to speak on what I was asked to think on in the note Miss Nawain sent me."

Salvitoriel joins Valynn's group.

You smile at Elurora.

Elurora says, "Justice is not the mirror of cruelty.  If we answer torture with torture, then we have merely chosen another victim.  A Paladin who forgets mercy has forgotten the very purpose of the weapon at their side.  It is not to murder, it is not to hurt for the sake of hurting, it is to protect."

Elurora glances at Cambin.

Elurora glances at Davrion.

Valynn takes a sip of her reserve.

Elurora gazes at you.

Elurora says, "You ask us for judgment.  I believe judgment must be more than suffering.  Let him lay aside the honors of knighthood, for he has proven himself unworthy to bear them."

Imroth squints.

Elurora says, "Let him begin again where every Paladin begins: with humility.  Let him serve once more as a squire beneath a Knight Teacher, that he might learn anew the codes of honor he has forgotten or was never taught.  Let him learn again to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

Amabalis ponders.

Elurora fixes Cambin with a serene, lofty stare.

Cambin laughs!

Elurora says, "Let him serve those who owe him nothing.  Let him learn once more that a Paladin's strength exists to shelter the weak, not to break them.  If he truly wishes to repent, let him prove it not with words spoken in a single evening, but with the choices he makes every day over the months and years to come."

You gaze at Cambin.

Siendra glances at Cambin.

Elurora says, "If, after that time, those he wronged find they can trust him once more, then perhaps he will have earned the right to call himself a knight again.  She rubs her index finger across the bridge of her nose, If not, then he will still have spent those years doing good rather than evil.  Justice will have been served all the same."

Cambin says, "I have never called myself a knight."

Elurora says, "Today does not test only the one standing accused.  It tests all of us.  It asks whether we truly believe justice is stronger than vengeance.  I pray that when we leave this place, we have upheld not only the law, but the ideals we claim to carry.  May Albreda's peace find a place in all our souls."

Gragnel distractedly says, "When I would get in trouble at the Temple, they'd make me clean the tunnels. Horrid job that was."

Gragnel nods.

(Elurora gives a quick bow and steps back to join the rest of the pack with Nawain.)

Kethrai mumbles a word of general praise.

Siendra smiles at Elurora.

Imroth asks, "Is he even remorseful?"

Aemaranth exclaims to Gragnel in a melodic accent, "They still do that!"

Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, "Is he capable of it?"

Sukidesu glances at Cambin.

Gragnel nods to Aemaranth.

Gragnel shudders.

Elurora says, "I think no one is beyond redeeming."

Siendra says to Imroth, "It seems not, but that is what we are here for."

Imroth nods to Siendra.

Siendra says, "Elurora, well thought and said.  Thank you."

Siendra asks, "Jaelia, you wished to speak?"

Elurora gives Siendra a slight nod.

Aemaranth rests her hand on Elurora's arm with a soft smile.

Aemaranth wraps her arm around Elurora's shoulder in a friendly hug.

Elurora gently kisses Aemaranth on the cheek.

Jaelia nods to Siendra.

Siendra says to Jaelia, "The floor is yours."

Jaelia says, "I wish to give testimony for what I experienced when I went to speak with Davrion and Ophiliah."

Siendra nods.

Jaelia says, "It seems no one thought to go speak to some of the more reasonable members of their group. Or - people were just too emotional or caught up."

Jaelia says, "I addressed this with them first I believe."

Salvitoriel joins Imroth's group.

Valynn whispers something to Elurora.

Davrion nods to Jaelia.

Hebion gazes thoughtfully at Jaelia.

Jaelia says, "I believe Ophiliah and Davrion were very confused by what happend on that ship, Davrion most of all."

Jaelia says, "He was silent and at a loss for words."

Sceth takes a bite of the pop.

Elurora smiles at Valynn.

Chrysagon mumbles a word of general praise.

Valynn nods to Elurora.

Jaelia says, "Ophiliah seemed to have been confused and thought it was mostly a game or she was helping with something but didn't do as much but make Nawain drink some things and bring her on and off the ship and talk to her a bit."

Jaelia says, "I do honestly believe Davrion did not know anything or else he is a good actor."

Siendra nods to Jaelia.

(Nawain wrinkles her nose slight but doesn't disagree with that interpretation.)

Jaelia says, "For the things I do condemn them for, and there are many things, I do find things I like of them too."

Jaelia says, "I believe them."

Jaelia says, "I was also the first one to speak of a Justice I am familar in many places."

Jaelia says, "Where we allowe the group they belong to to take care of and resolve the issue within their group before outsiders get involved."

Jaelia says, "They seemed to agree with this, and Davrion pledged he would speak to Cambin and get things resolved."

Jaelia says, "I wish to bring this as testimony when consideration of Davrion is given. I did not speak to Cambin because I do not know if Cambin can be spoken to."

Kethrai looks about with a puzzled expression on his face.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.

Jaelia says, "Cambin believes he serves Trothfang, but I believe Cambin is nothing more than A Filthy Hound ready for redemption."

Exile's Bane Anuril just arrived.

Anuril takes his rightful place beside Kethrai.

Anuril moves over to guard Kethrai.

Cambin snorts, loudly.

Jaelia says, "By filthy hound I mean..... what Cheipso was before Trothfang intervened for him."

Elurora leans on Aemaranth.

You glance at Jaelia, a female Elothean.

Imroth says, "Hard to force redemption on the unwilling."

Jaelia says, "His justice does not need to be the same but I believe Opisekh would mock Cambin and his service."

Aemaranth gently kisses Elurora on the cheek.

Jaelia says, "I wish that others know that while I have a grey interpretation of Justice and my own things - I believe in the community at larger matters most."

Jaelia says, "So I wish others to consider those things, and that I find some Honor in Davrion, I do not know if I see it in Cambin."

Jaelia says, "THank you."

Jaelia nods.

Siendra smiles at Jaelia.

Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Jaelia.

Siendra says, "Thank you for your insight, Jaelia."

Amabalis nods at Eionelthaniel, obviously agreeing with his views.

Siendra says, "Sir Olly, the floor is yours."

Ollythander nods.

Sceth nods to Salvitoriel.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I just had a few questions that have been bothering me...if you'll indulge me Cambin."

Ollythander smiles at Cambin.

Cambin smiles at Ollythander.

Ollythander stands near Cambin.

Sceth pats a scaled green sparrow clad in shreds of gilded parchment that is stuck to the head.

Ollythander asks Cambin in a polished accent, "I know you don't like me, but I am assuming you like her?"

Ollythander gestures at you.

Elurora raises an eyebrow.

Cambin says, "Certainly."

Ollythander nods.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "You broke one of the Words in her, or at least gave her the means of seeking out the keys to them."

Valynn ponders.

Ollythander asks in a polished accent, "Why?"

You gaze at Cambin.

Cambin ponders.

Cambin says, "Because I want her to free herself."

Ollythander nods to Cambin.

Cambin shrugs.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "A theme that has come up a whole bunch."

Siendra gazes upward.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "And a puzzle I cannot solve."

Illiya grins at Siendra, her dimples flashing into view.

Amabalis folds her arms across her chest.

Aemaranth peers quizzically at Ollythander.

Ollythander asks in a polished accent, "Why not just free her of the words entirely?"

Elurora furrows her brow.

Cambin smiles at Ollythander.

Ollythander smiles at Cambin.

Cambin says, "Then she'd never learn to do it for herself."

Ollythander ponders.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "Then why use them."

Cambin says, "I don't."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "You have."

Elurora raises her hand.

Sukidesu snorts, loudly.

Cambin glares.

Ollythander smiles at Cambin.

Cambin says, "So had that one."

Elurora asks, "What words are we talking about?"

Cambin points at Sukidesu.

Ollythander nods to Cambin.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "I'm not the one who put them there."

You glance at Elurora, a female Elf.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "And I chastised him severely for it."

Siendra quietly says to Elurora, "Words that seem to trigger Nawain into a state not of herself."

Davrion quietly says, "Elur I'd like to know the answer to that too."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I believe my words were not very kind to him too."

You give a slight nod.

Davrion frowns.

Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Siendra.

Jaelia frowns at Cambin.

Ollythander asks Cambin in a polished accent, "Why use them?"

Elurora asks, "So, he mixed up her mind and uses words to control her?"

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, "Words that... Um. That Dioe uses. To... make me try to hurt people."

Illiya nods to Elurora.

You nod to Elurora.

Siendra nods to Elurora.

Aemaranth says to Siendra in a melodic accent, "We could just rip his soul out of his body over and over until he decides to talk."

Elurora touches Aemaranth with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.

Valynn gazes at Cambin.

Davrion frowns at you.

Elurora says to Aemaranth, "Remember, we are here for justice, not revenge."

Sceth nibbles on her ring pop.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "We could do all of that, and get off topic, but I just have a few more questions."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I'd prefer we NOT do all that though."

Aemaranth says to Elurora in a melodic accent, "I know."

Siendra rests her hand on Aemaranth's arm with a soft smile.

Gragnel takes a sip of his wine.

Cambin says to Aemaranth, "Your associations make your hypocrisy here particularly egregious. Please stop talking."

With amazing speed, Elurora strikes Cambin in the throat with the edge of her flattened palm.  Cambin clutches his throat, wheezing pathetically.

Elurora frowns at Cambin.

Ollythander sighs.

Valynn holds a finger up to her lips and then points at Cambin.

Sceth ponders how torturing one person for torturing someone but would be absolved of doing it.  im confused

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "Ok while he's recovering..."

Aemaranth rests her hand on Elurora's arm with a soft smile.

Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, "Now how is he meant to answer questions?"

Sukidesu sighs.

Aemaranth pulls Elurora to her in a tight hug.

Ollythander asks Davrion in a polished accent, "Someone like Dioe bismicheres your Honor, why do you contine to assosiate with him?"

Elurora says, "He can be quiet for a moment and think about how he talks to Miss Aema."

Hebion says to Sukidesu, "He can take some time to think about his answers."

Ollythander smiles at Davrion.

Illiya glances at Cambin.

Davrion quietly says to Ollythander, "Many here know me and many have stood against me in battle."

Anuril dryly says, "He said please."

Hebion asks, "And why is that one not here standing judgement as well?"

Ollythander nods to Davrion.

Elurora snorts at Anuril.

Jaelia whispers something to Aemaranth.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "I wish Miss Aema was more mindful of what she said to others."

Sukidesu glances at Aemaranth.

Ollythander says to Davrion in a polished accent, "I have almost crossed swords with you, and I do understand how poorly that would go for me."

Aemaranth says to Siendra in a melodic accent, The offer still stands.

Siendra says, Please, everyone, focus.

Aemaranth pulls Siendra to her in a tight hug.

Siendra narrows her eyes.

Ollythander says to Siendra in a polished accent, Thank you.

Davrion quietly says to Ollythander, Everyone knows my grievance is with the Baron. I stand with the others out of loyalty since thier cause will help me to achieve mine.

Ollythander nods to Davrion.

Elurora says, "Standing with those without honor tarnishes your own."

Ollythander asks Davrion in a polished accent, "Are there not better people you can stand with to accomplish this?"

Elurora fixes Davrion with a serene, lofty stare.

Cambin manages to gain control of his vocal cords.

Ollythander asks Davrion in a polished accent, "Or a better way to go about it?"

Ollythander smiles at Davrion.

(Nawain rubs worriedly at her wrists, eyeing Cambin steadily.)

Davrion quietly says to Ollythander, "Once i thought so but now i'm not so sure. everyone is so quick to defend the Baron and the rest of the aristocracy."

Ollythander ponders.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Sceth casually observes the area.

Kethrai takes a sip of his reserve.

Siendra says to Davrion, "Funnily enough, our Pack is not his biggest fan...and yet we do not torture people in attempts to take him down."

Elurora says, "I dislike the Baron as well, but I do not go about setting towns on fire."

Valynn whispers, "Breathe and relax. You are with friends and supporters."

Elurora gives Siendra a slight nod.

Ollythander says to Davrion in a polished accent, "From one Knight to another...and from my Honor to yours...a better group of comerades would do your Honor a might bit better."

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "But you."

Ollythander smiles at Cambin.

You give Elurora a slight nod.

Davrion quietly says to Siendra, "I torture no one. I meet my foes honorably in battle."

Siendra says to Davrion, I speak of your comrades.

Illiya says, "To aid and abet torture does not do your foes honor."

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "I don't mean to be insulting when I say...I think you're lonely. I think you've done what you've done to BE close to Nawain. Terrible way to go about it, but I think it's that fear of being alone that did it...and drew you to Dioe and his ilk."

Elurora asks Davrion, "And holding someone hostage after they've been kidnapped?"

Amabalis stops listening to Tekhelet.

Elurora raises an eyebrow in Davrion's direction.

Davrion quietly says to Siendra, "The reason I am here is because I like all of you loathe the idea of torture or taking ones free will."

Gragnel frowns at his empty wine glass. A look of panic crosses his face as he pats himself down.

Cambin laughs!

Gragnel sighs.

Gragnel gets some sacramental wine from his wine tote.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Gragnel shrugs.

Elurora glances at Ollythander.

Siendra nods to Davrion.

Cambin asks, "Ah, I can talk again? May I speak truth without being silenced?"

Cambin glares at Elurora.

Elurora fixes Cambin with a serene, lofty stare.

Davrion quietly asks you, "Did you ever tell me you were a prisoner against your will?"

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "Can you focus on my questions so I can give the floor back to others?"

Siendra says, "I believe the question is if you can speak truth...period."

Ollythander smiles.

Elurora gives Siendra a slight nod.

You whisper to Siendra, "I have a thing I'd like to say. When I can."

Ollythander says to Davrion in a polished accent, "I do not believe at the time her will was her own Sir."

Cambin says to Siendra, "I don't lie."

You quietly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, "I did not."

Siendra whispers, "Of course.  We have a few others first."

Davrion quietly says to Ollythander, "Fair point. but i had no way of knowing that."

Ollythander nods to Davrion.

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "Last question..."

Ollythander asks Cambin in a polished accent, "Do you regret any of it?"

Ollythander smiles at Cambin.

Gragnel leans forward.

Siendra gazes at Cambin.

Cambin ponders.

Cambin says, "Some. Perhaps."

Ollythander asks Cambin in a polished accent, "May I ask which parts?"

Ollythander smiles.

Cambin says, "I regret Nawain felt pain."

Siendra wrinkles her nose.

Salvitoriel exhales involuntarily and shifts his stance, as if now under a heavy burden.

Valynn raises an eyebrow.

Ollythander nods.

You gaze at Cambin.

Elurora gazes off into the distance.

Tekhelet growls low in the back of his throat.

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "I appreciate you answering my questions."

Cambin nods to Ollythander.

Siendra smiles at Ollythander.

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "For everyone for now, please try to keep a civil and level head. There is always time for hate and bloodshed later."

Siendra says, "Thank you, Sir Olly."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "There's more than what's on the surface here."

Ollythander bows to Siendra.

Cambin says to Ollythander, "You've always been honorable, Olly. I don't even dislike you. Just think you're a bit stuffy."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I appreciate the time offered."

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "Dreadfully stuff."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "Stuffy."

Ollythander nods.

Saph glances at Cambin.

Sceth chortles softly at some secret joke.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Siendra asks, "Kethrai, you had something to say?"

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "You have made me question my own Oaths on more than one occasion...but I do not want your blood."

Kethrai gives a slight nod.

Ollythander bows to Cambin.

Ollythander stands near Saph.

Saph trills softly at Ollythander.

Kethrai says to Davrion, "I appreciate you coming and submitting yourself voluntarily for your part in this."

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Hebion.

Gragnel says, "Stuffy..."

Gragnel holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.

Davrion bows to Kethrai.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Hebion nods to Elurora.

Siendra nods to Sukidesu.

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "My word is my bond."

Cambin says, "In truth, Davrion is completely without fault."

Davrion shakes his head at Cambin.

Elurora snorts, loudly.

Kethrai asks Davrion, "Do you agree that, because you offered Nawain safety on your ship, it was your responsibility to ensure she had it? And that you failed in that responsibility?"

Davrion nods to Kethrai.

Davrion quietly says, "I do."

Cambin says, "I intentionally kept things from him and the others to avoid having to explain myself doing what needed doing."

Salvitoriel nods at Sceth, obviously agreeing with her views.

Imroth asks Cambin, "Do you have a clean soul?"

Aemaranth just left.

Cambin smiles at Imroth.

Salvitoriel reaches over and holds hands with Valynn.

Kethrai asks, "And you maintain that you didn't know what Cambin was doing to her. What would you have done if you had known?"

Sceth joins Salvitoriel's group.

Beautician Vekara just arrived.

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

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "I would have killed him on the spot."

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

Vekara smiles.

Siendra gazes at Davrion.

Cambin says to Imroth, "I'm surprised at your restraint. You're always so quick to reach for violence, I expected to be dead by now."

Imroth chuckles.

Imroth says to Cambin, "I have been instructed to stand down, mostly. I did have a thought though."

Eionelthaniel brushes a stray speck of dirt from his kau leather journal.

Cambin nods to Imroth.

Kethrai asks, "Would you have forbidden him from your ship after that? Kept him away from Nawain in some way?"

Eionelthaniel chews pensively on a black-tipped brown wren feather quill.

Imroth says, "If you wish to atone, you could break your soul."

Davrion nods to Kethrai.

Imroth says, "Attack Nawain while she is under your protection. Just like you did before, in a way."

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "I would have brought the rest of her pack there to insure her protection."

Imroth says, "It would show you are at least remorseful of what has happened."

Ollythander ponders.

Kethrai asks, "Is he currently forbidden from your ship?"

Siendra leans forward.

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "He has not been back aboard since but there has been no banning from it with her not there."

Kethrai gives a slight nod.

High Priestess Aemaranth just arrived.

Aemaranth stands near Elurora.

Elurora wraps her arm around Aemaranth's shoulder in a friendly hug.

Kethrai says, "Let's set Cambin aside for the moment and talk about Dioe, then, who holds at least as much blame for masterminding the assault even if he didn't hold the implements."

Kethrai asks, "What would you have done to him, if you had learned of Nawain's torture while it was ongoing?"

Davrion quietly says, "If he was involved in the torture he'd have died at my hands as would anyone within my group."

Elurora rubs her head.

Chrysagon shifts his weight.

Davrion quietly says, "Even my woman is not exempt."

Kethrai asks, "If he was involved. Have you questioned him to determine whether he is or isn't?"

Imroth smirks.

(Nawain's fists clench and unclench as she absorbs every word without comment.)

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "Not as yet. one person at a time and Cambin seemed to be the heart of it so I brought him. next I question everyone else."

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "I did question Ophiliah since her and I share more than the group but none of the others yet."

Ollythander whispers, "you alright?"

Kethrai asks, "This is your own honor at stake, isn't it? Why the delay? Why not immediately demand a full explanation from Cambin and Dioe the moment you learned what was truly happening?"

Cambin says, "No need. Dioe had no knowledge. The others had some fanciful ideas about programming Nawain simply by getting her drunk and giving her drugs."

Siendra wrinkles her nose.

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "Because closure for the victim and justice for her takes precedence over my own feelings currently."

Kethrai says, "And yet Dioe is the one wielding her as a weapon."

Gragnel raises an eyebrow.

You whisper to Ollythander, "I'm... amazed there hasn't been bloodshed."

Ollythander whispers, "Albreda's blessings I suppose."

Siendra rubs your right hand.

Kethrai says, "Last question, I suppose. You mentioned you checked on Nawain and didn't see anything amiss. She seemed spaced out, but that's it."

Davrion nods to Kethrai.

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "I spoke with her on bringing her mate or a message to him usually."

(Nawain's eyes flick from Kethrai to Davrion and back again.)

Kethrai says, "Did you not notice the blood? There would have been a significant amount. An amount hard for one person to clean up or hide, I would imagine."

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Sceth raises an eyebrow.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "Nawain said the blood was always gone, just cutting in for that."

Davrion quietly says, "There was no blood, if there was there would have been questions from a lot of people."

Hebion gazes upward.

Amabalis just nudged Eionelthaniel.

Kethrai says, "A very busy laundry on your ship, it seems. Not something to raise questions."

Siendra pets her russet panther.

Imroth asks, "So.. we can kill Cambin?"

Kethrai says, "I find your lack of knowledge far too convenient to be convincing, myself. That it's more useful for you not to know, so you ask as few questions as possible."

Siendra nibbles on her fingers contemplatively.

Ollythander shakes his head at Imroth.

Cambin laughs!

Sukidesu bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.

Ollythander says to Imroth in a polished accent, "No."

Kethrai says, "But, it's not up to me."

Kethrai shrugs.

Kethrai nods to Siendra.

Imroth sighs.

Davrion quietly says to Kethrai, "Your guess is as good as mine as to how it was kept secret so easily."

Siendra rests her hand on Imroth's arm with a soft smile.

Elurora says, "If he knew or not, he is still guilty of holding her *hostage*."

Cambin says, "I've been killed, actually. And blinded in one eye."

Siendra nods to Valynn.

Cambin glares at Sukidesu.

Sukidesu smiles at Cambin, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.

Imroth says to Cambin, "Still got another eye."

Aemaranth nods at Imroth, obviously agreeing with his views.

Siendra says, "We have just a few more to speak, if everyone can hold a few moments longer."

Ollythander nods to Siendra.

Elurora says, "Killing Cambin wouldn't be justice, nor would it change his attitude."

Siendra asks Kethrai, "Were you finished?"

Kethrai nods to Siendra.

Siendra smiles.

Imroth nods.

Siendra says, "Thank you."

Ollythander moves into position to block attacks against Cambin!

Siendra says, "Suki, you have the floor."

Valynn clears her throat.

Cambin laughs at Ollythander.

Ollythander smiles.

Imroth says, "I think his breaking his own soul as a symbol would be a show of good faith."

Davrion quietly says to Elurora, "If i invite you to stay on my ship, leave no guards to keep you from leaving at any time are you my hostage? I take blame for my OWN actions which in this case is failing to protect a guest as I'd promised. nothing more, nothing less."

Valynn gazes at Imroth.

Elurora blinks at Davrion.

Imroth says, "Otherwise.. he still has one nice looking eye."

Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, "Cambin, Cambin. You hate me as much as I do you. Perhaps you hate me more. You told me you were the one who put the words in Nawain's mind. Why isn't it simple to just remove them? You want her to do it herself. She can't. She can try...but people are getting hurt in the meantime. You said you wanted to help her. Why not actually help her?"

Elurora asks Davrion, "Miss Nawain was kidnapped and held hostage, her husband had to play dice with your freckless leader to save her, how is that not being held hostage?"

Gragnel glances at Sukidesu.

Gragnel glances at Cambin.

Community Voice Jaelia just arrived.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Aemaranth nods.

Cambin ponders.

Valynn nods to Siendra.

Cambin says to Sukidesu, "I did help her. She has everything she needs."

You gaze at Cambin.

(Nawain chews steadily on a finger's-width of hair.)

Ollythander says to Cambin in a polished accent, "This needs to end, and you can end it. The 'lesson' isn't being learned appropriately...adjust the teaching method...if that's what this is about."

Ollythander shrugs.

Davrion quietly says to Elurora, "When I was there she was free to leave at any time and that she did know. the dice game and all that is when I started to learn things and question things myself."

Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Davrion.

Elurora asks Davrion, "Are you saying you did not know she was kidnapped?"

Elurora raises an eyebrow in Davrion's direction.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "Unlike everyone else here...well most of them...I do think you can do good. You just need to choose to be good. You've been seen defending Crossings and Riverhaven...despite also attacking the cities. Had this been a few weeks ago, I would still be out for your blood...but I don't think death is the solution here."

Davrion nods to Elurora.

Aemaranth asks Davrion in a melodic accent, "Do you realize what you are saying?"

Sceth says, "So many conversations at once.. cant follow."

Sceth flails her arms about.

Illiya says, "It is pretty confusing."

Gragnel nods at Sceth, obviously agreeing with her views.

Davrion quietly says to Elurora, "To my knowledge she was a guest on my ship staying for her safety."

Cambin says, "I will be quiet."

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Elurora says, "Sorry, I will hush as well."

Siendra quietly says, "Elurora, we will address Davrion again in a bit.  Let Suki speak with Cambin."

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "I'll let Nawain speak, and until you can carve out one of my eyeballs for your own, I have a replacement for you."

Sukidesu offers Cambin a violet-hued cambrinth eyeball.

Siendra smiles at Elurora.

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Siendra.

Cambin accepts Sukidesu's cambrinth eyeball.

Cambin laughs!

Cambin says, "Clever."

Amabalis grins at Eionelthaniel, her dimples flashing into view.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Sceth chuckles.

Cambin attaches a violet-hued cambrinth eyeball to his right eye.

Siendra says to you, "The floor is yours, Nawain."

Cambin removes a violet-hued cambrinth eyeball from his right eye.

Cambin puts his eyeball in his armor pack.

Siendra quietly asks, "Pack, while she speaks, can you please join me to talk privately?"

Elurora joins Siendra's group.

Sukidesu joins Siendra's group.

You take in a great breath of air.

Ollythander smiles at you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "I... Um. I've been asked what I want, s-several times. And I don't... have an easy answer. Because... M-maybe there just isn't one."

Siendra clasps Vekara's hand tenderly.

Vekara appears to be whispering to those in her company.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Most of you know w-what what happened. Many of you know Cambin's... role... in p-particular. And... and I know quite a f-few of you want him dead."

Siendra gazes at you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "If... If it'd been any of you. If he'd d-done those things to you..."

(Nawain's eyes wander from face to face, searching each in turn before finally coming to rest on her mate. She lingers there longer than anywhere else, as though drawing enough courage to finish the thought.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "I'd kill him. In a heartbeat. Wouldn't need to th-think about it. And I'd make it hurt."

(Nawain's eyes drift to Cambin almost against her own will. She studies him for only a heartbeat before looking away again.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "But... I can't pretend that it would be for... for good reasons. I... I wouldn't be doing it because it would... fix anything. It wouldn't."

Elurora nods to you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Wouldn't help the one who w-was hurt. Wouldn't undo what was d-done, or even... Even keep it from happening to s-someone else."

Ollythander nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

You say in a Rakash accent, "I'd want him to hurt... because I hurt. Because he had hurt someone I love, and I... couldn't p-protect them. Because I'd failed them. And I c-couldn't sit with that feeling anymore without making him hurt, too, I'd want... v-vengeance."

(Nawain lets out a long, unsteady breath. Her shoulders sag beneath a weight she's clearly carried for months before she slowly looks around at the people who carried it with her.)

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You smile at Siendra.

You lean back against Tekhelet with a tender smile.

Siendra smiles at you.

You nod to Ollythander.

Ollythander nods to you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "I know many of you have been... S-sitting with that feeling, when you'd rather be.. um. Be doing the hurting. B-Because I told you it wouldn't help me. And I know it has been f-frustrating. I'm sorry."

Siendra smirks.

You say in a Rakash accent, "If vengeance is what is n-needed to, uh... so people feel better about...Um. If blood is what bring s-satisfacton for some of you, I.."

You grimace.

Elurora shakes her head.

(Nawain falls silent. Her jaw tightens, and her hands curl into fists at her sides. She notices only after a moment, but makes no effort to loosen them yet as she struggles to express herself.)

Kethrai trills softly at you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "I won't s-stop you. I can't tell you what you n-need. I can't... can't tell you what *I* need."

(Nawain notices the tension in her hands and slowly uncurls each finger, as though letting go of something heavier than anger. When she finally looks back to Cambin, there is no accusation in her posture   only exhaustion.)

Amabalis nods to Eionelthaniel.

Vekara glances at you.

Vekara glances at Cambin.

You say in a Rakash accent, "I just... I know what I don't want."

(Nawain meets Cambin's good eye without flinching. Hurt finally flashes through her own, lending a sharper edge to what had, until now, been almost apologetic. Some conflict within her seems to settle, and when she speaks again, each sentence comes with quiet certainty.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "I don't want... anyone else's f-friends to have to spend a year... watching her cry when she thinks no one's watching."

You say in a Rakash accent, "I don't... don't want anyone else to go to s-sleep each night praying they'll still be themself tomorrow."

You say in a Rakash accent, "I don't want anyone else to have to remember that... that peace isn't something you have to earn."

Siendra inhales a great swallow of air.

You exclaim in a Rakash accent, "I don't want anyone else to be promised f-freedom, while being leashed to a necromancer's whims. A necromancer, vrali!"

You fix Cambin with a solid, steady stare.

(Nawain's resolve falters. Her eyes drop for the first time since looking at Cambin, and when she speaks again, the words are barely louder than a whisper.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "I don't want anyone else to realize too late that s-someone they trusted didn't deserve it."

Siendra quietly says, "Not vrali..."

(Nawain offers Cambin a small, tired smile, the kind reserved for impossible hopes.)

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Imroth frowns.

Salvitoriel nods.

You give Siendra a slight nod.

Ollythander glances at Cambin.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Maybe that's what I want. I want you to.. d-deserve it. I want a brother I can b-brag about, not apologize for. I want a vrali who... who can help me back onto my feet, not... not teach me how to crawl."

(Nawain's smile fades as gently as it came. She doesn't look away, nor does she seem to expect an answer.)

Sukidesu glances at Cambin.

Amabalis nods to Eionelthaniel.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Cambin. You... Taught me lessons I never wanted. About trust. About pain. About... what I'm willing to pay for... for the people I love."

You say in a Rakash accent, "You taught me... that love doesn't make the hard things hurt less. It just.. makes them worth enduring."

You say in a Rakash accent, "You taught me... that s-surviving isn't always the same thing as living. And that p-people can survive far more than they should ever have to."

You say in a Rakash accent, "You taught me that the hardest d-days won't come when I'm... surrounded by pack. They'll come when I'm standing without them."

You say in a Rakash accent, "But y'know, vrali... My friends, my pack, they've... They've been reminding me about... About who I am. About... What I've done already. Like, non-stop."

You grin at Sukidesu.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Sukidesu grins at you, his dimples flashing into view.

(Nawain can't help but laugh. She rolls her eyes toward her friends, the corners of her mouth lifting in a genuine smile.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "I... I did things, b-before I met you. Good things. Big things. Learned a whole lot of... hard lessons."

(Nawain's gaze settles on Cambin again, a quiet confidence steadying her voice as she speaks from personal experience.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "Cambin, you... you could n-never have hurt me half as much as... hearing my Goddess w-weep over my choices."

(Sukidesu mimes a butterfly with his hands.)

Aemaranth pulls Elurora to her in a tight hug.

Elurora wraps her arms around Aemaranth in a loving hug.

Gragnel rests his hand on your arm with a soft smile.

You say in a Rakash accent, There isn't a pain you could inflict that could... could compare to f-feeling of my Gods grieving what I'd done."

You say in a Rakash accent, "And..." She gives a small, wry laugh. "I'm sorry, vrali, but a s-stake through the wrist is nothing compared to being exploded from the inside by a d-dying godling."

You run your fingers through your hair.

Sukidesu praises you.

You say in a Rakash accent, "You thought you were teaching me to be s-strong. I see that, Cambin. I know that."

You say in a Rakash accent, "But, I think, maybe you were really just... uncovering s-strength that was already there."

You ask in a Rakash accent, "You... saw me. Saw into me. Found every weakness, ever half-healed hurt, every... every nightmare I refused to f-face and poked at them until they cracked wide open, and it still wasn't enough, was it?"

(Nawain studies Cambin in silence for a long moment, as though weighing the truth of what she's about to say against the man standing before her.)

You say in a Rakash accent, "Pain... couldn't make me hate you, could it? C-couldn't make me kill you. Couldn't... make me become someone... else."

You say in a Rakash accent, "Fear did that. Fear of.. of what you'd do. To them."

(Nawain's gaze drifts to Tekhelet, then to Siendra. The look she gives them is brief, but impossibly full   gratitude, love, and the fierce protectiveness that had carried her through the darkest days.)

Aemaranth sighs.

You say in a Rakash accent, "That took me deciding that I would rather hurt a thousand t-times worse for a thousand times longer than let you hurt the people I love for even a s-second."

Elurora rubs Aemaranth's back.

You say in a Rakash accent, "You wanted to teach me to be strong. To... show me where I was weakest. I think you misunderstood something. You wanted me to believe that the people I love are... are a vulnerability."

You say in a Rakash accent, "These p-people are why I'm strong. They're... they're the reason I s-survived you. They're why I will always get b-back up. Loving them will never make me weak. They are my strength."

You say in a Rakash accent, "There is g-growing I need to do. Changes I need to make. But... But I'll be making them. Not you. Not Siendra. Not even Tek. I will."

Siendra beams at you!  What a warm feeling!

You say in a Rakash accent, "That lesson... that's one I am glad I learned. I *am* strong because of them, but... I am not weak without them. I'm strong anyways."

Sukidesu nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

Siendra nods in agreement.

Eionelthaniel chews pensively on a black-tipped brown wren feather quill.

Ollythander stands near Saph.

(Nawain nods slightly, and her shoulders sag as she exhales.)

Elurora nods to you.

Gragnel glances at you.

Gragnel glances at Cambin.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Elurora nods to Siendra.

Vekara ponders.

Siendra rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

You say in a Rakash accent, "That's... all the words that've been... Rattling. They're out now."

You smile.

You nod.

Kethrai trills softly at you.

Saph trills, her ears relaxing minutely back against her head.

Siendra pulls you to her in a tight hug.

Ollythander beams at you!  What a warm feeling!

You hug Siendra who wraps her arms around you with a warm smile.  A faint scent of cloves clings to her skin.

Cambin sighs.

Siendra asks, "Cambin.  What do you have to say?"

You gaze at Cambin.

Cambin says to you, "I'm glad you've seen that was the point. I didn't make you stronger. Never claimed to. Always said I was making you realize it."

(Nawain's lips twitch a little, but she nods.)

Cambin says to you, "So good. But I'm disappointed. I made a mistake thinking you had more in you, perhaps."

You gaze at Cambin.

Valynn gives Sceth a wry grin.

Imroth quietly says, "You could stand to have a little less in you."

Cambin says, "There will be no more lessons. Don't worry."

Anuril snorts, loudly.

Valynn holds a finger up to her lips and then points at Imroth.

Siendra nibbles on her fingers contemplatively.

(Nawain's posture relaxes, just a little.)

You lean back against Tekhelet with a tender smile.

Cambin asks, "Very well. Have we concluded this farce? Everyone spoken who wants to?"

Tekhelet clears his throat.

Siendra says, "I only have a few words."

Valynn whispers something to Siendra.

Chrysagon raises an eyebrow.

Cambin asks Siendra, "Have you decided to test yourself yet, Siendra?"

Cambin smiles at Siendra.

Eionelthaniel chews pensively on a black-tipped brown wren feather quill.

Gragnel raises an eyebrow.

Elurora smiles at Aemaranth.

Aemaranth gently kisses Elurora on the cheek.

Vekara acts puzzled.

Eionelthaniel puts his quill in his velvet cloak.

Eionelthaniel opens his journal and writes in it for a bit.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Siendra says, "You ask why everyone is here, for this 'farce'.  A pack is family, whether bonded together or through mutual respect.  These people care about Nawain, and want to do what we can to help her.  That, for the record, is why you are still standing right now.  Your death would not help her."

Imroth groans.

Harsh pats Imroth on the back.

Sukidesu chuckles at Imroth.

Siendra looks at Imroth, obviously trying not to grin.

Siendra pats Imroth on the back.

Illiya says, "I heard Nawain doesn't mind if we kill Cambin, so."

Siendra says, "I promised her I would speak for truth and honor here.  I spoke to you alone the other day under the same promise, though she did not know it."

Cambin says to Valynn, "I will speak my mind, Baron's province or no, and I won't whisper it, but speak it aloud."

Salvitoriel coughs.

Valynn clears her throat.

Imroth smirks at Illiya.

Elurora nods at Aemaranth, obviously agreeing with her views.

Salvitoriel gazes at Cambin.

Anuril whispers something to Kethrai.

Valynn fixes Cambin with a serene, lofty stare.

You say to Illiya in a Rakash accent, "He'd, uh... He'd probably enjoy it."

Illiya says, "I would, too."

Imroth quietly says, "Sounds like a party."

Cambin says, "The number of you so afraid of words is astonishing."

Anuril whispers something to Kethrai.

Siendra says, "I see no remorse in you Cambin.  Nawain was not yours to 'unlock'.  I feel dirty enough now speaking of her in this manner when she is right here.  She is a strong, brilliant, beautiful woman."

Harsh quietly says, "The only words i fear are my own."

Harsh nods emphatically.

Elizzibiana leans back.

Illiya says, "Nobody's afraid but a coward who kidnaps and tortures his victim."

Eionelthaniel glances at Harsh.

Eionelthaniel grins at Harsh.

Sukidesu gives Harsh a crooked grin.

Valynn clucks her tongue and shakes her head.

Cambin asks, "Anyone else like to speak?"

Tekhelet nods.

You gaze at Tekhelet.

Sukidesu glances at Tekhelet.

Tekhelet says to Siendra in a Rakash accent, "My turn to speak."

Siendra says, "If you give me and my Pack just a moment while Tek speaks, we would like to pass judgement."

Siendra nods to Tekhelet.

Tekhelet says in a Rakash accent, "I'll make this quick."

(Tekhelet scowls as he beholds Davrion.)

Vekara blinks.

Tekhelet says to Davrion in a Rakash accent, "You should be ashamed of what you let happen under your nose."

Davrion nods at Tekhelet, obviously agreeing with his views.

(Tekhelet turns to stare at Cambin with searing hatred as he speaks.)

Teavira just left.

Anuril gently kisses Kethrai on the cheek.

Anuril raises two fingers to his brow in a quick hand salute.

Exile's Bane Anuril goes north.

Cambin smiles at Tekhelet.

Davrion quietly says to Tekhelet, "I don't disagree with you."

Tekhelet says to Cambin in a Rakash accent, "You deserve to rot for what you did, and don't you ever lay a finger on her again. Nawain will be well and free from every last bit your dark treachery, She's stronger than you'll ever know, and she has me. I'll never give up until she's made whole."

(Tekhelet gives Nawain's hand a tight squeeze.)

Tekhelet nods to Siendra.

You gently kiss Tekhelet on the cheek.

(Nawain tightens her fingers in Tekhelet's and leans into him.)

Siendra nods to Tekhelet.

Chrysagon blinks.

Harsh stands up.

Chrysagon nods to Harsh.

Harsh carefully gathers up the delicate folds of a fiery red silk prayer tapestry embroidered with a brilliant golden phoenix.

Harsh tips his blob to Chrysagon with a courteous nod.

Brother Harsh hobbles north.

Elurora gives Siendra a slight nod.

Elurora unravels Aemaranth's braid.

Elurora runs her fingers through Aemaranth's hair.

Elurora lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Aemaranth leans on Elurora.

Siendra asks Tekhelet, "That is all, friend?"

Tekhelet nods to Siendra.

Elurora gazes at Siendra.

Tekhelet says to Siendra in a Rakash accent, "Do what you will."

Siendra gives a slight nod.

Siendra says to Davrion, "We will address you first."

Davrion nods to Siendra.

Sukidesu whispers, "Cambin's not wrong, it is kind of a farce...there's nothing we can really do that he'll actually adhere to. I'm just glad you were able to speak your piece without being brought down with one of the words."

You give Sukidesu a slight nod.

Siendra says, "Though I believe we all feel you have honor, what has happened under your watch is unforgiveable.  You need to get your vessel in order if you wish to be any sort of captain."

Siendra whispers, "Nawain...what would you have done to Cambin?"

You whisper to Siendra, "I don't know. I want him to be a better person. But I don't know how to make him want that, too."

Siendra says, "We ask that you, under our judgement, cut all ties with Cambin AND Dioe.  Ban them from your boat and make sure you pay more attention."

Illiya gazes at Davrion.

Elurora glances at Davrion.

Davrion frowns.

Siendra says, "Also, community service in Siksraja feels fitting."

Siendra folds her arms across her chest.

Imroth whistles low.

Siendra says, "If you do not abide, then amidst all these witnesses here, your life is forfeit."

(Nawain winces, rubbing at her neck.)

Valynn ponders.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "To be quite honest...Dioe needs dealing with. I don't care about the baron, but using Nawain as a weapon is unforgivable."

Siendra says to Sukidesu, "That is another day, Suki.  We are focusing on this."

Davrion quietly says, "I can promise to ban Cambin from the boat but i will not abandon my vengeance on the Baron nor sever ties with comrades who have stood side by side with me without first speaking with them and learning the truth of things from them."

Sukidesu nods to Siendra.

Elurora gazes upward.

Jaelia nods to Davrion.

Siendra says, "My goodness, the Baron must be giddy to know he runs through all your minds so much."

Siendra waves her hand distractedly.

You smirk at Siendra.

Valynn gazes thoughtfully at Davrion.

Vekara grins at Siendra.

Sukidesu grins at Siendra, his dimples flashing into view.

Salvitoriel appears to be whispering to those in his company.

Valynn nods to Salvitoriel.

Chrysagon peers quizzically at Salvitoriel.

Gragnel softly says to himself, "I wonder what sort of truth would justify all... this...."

Hebion says, "It seems we know what his honor is worth now."

Gragnel ponders.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Siendra nods to Hebion.

Elurora says to Davrion, "I wish you could see how much better you could be without them."

Cambin says to Hebion, "More than anyone's."

Hebion says to Cambin, "No, and your words sully it further."

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

Vekara hugs Elurora, getting a smile in return.

Vekara hugs you, and you wrap your arms around her with a warm smile.

Davrion quietly says to Siendra, "I can also promise that no harm will ever to come to any of your pack at my hands and if the choice is between protecting one of you or them then I protect you."

Siendra says to Davrion, "I want to trust you.  But we will see what choice you make after speaking to your comrades."

Siendra bows to Davrion.

Siendra says, "You all have witnessed Davrion's judgement."

Siendra says to Cambin, "And you."

Siendra sighs.

Cambin says, "I will help with this choice."

Cambin loosens the straps securing his tower shield and removes it.

Cambin stands up.

Cambin angles his tower shield at Davrion and charges forwards!

Cambin's tower shield lands a hard hit (5/23) to Davrion's left arm!

Davrion is lightly stunned!

Imroth blinks.

Cambin slides his left arm through the straps on his tower shield and flexes.

Cambin draws forth an immense guardless flamberge featuring a serrated fire-orange blade.

Davrion falls over.

You blink.

Cambin takes a step back and readies his flamberge behind him.

Cambin makes an agile leap towards Davrion, attacking him with a mighty cleave!

Cambin's guardless flamberge lands a heavy strike (7/23) to Davrion's neck!

You see Knight of Chaos Davrion Van'dahurst, Joustmaster, a Human.

Davrion has an angular face, pointed ears, stormy grey eyes and a straight nose.  His brown hair is shoulder length and thick, and is worn shaved on the sides and pulled back into a ponytail.  He has tanned skin and a massive build.

He is one who towers among others for a Human.

He appears to be venerable.

He has a tattoo of a seven-sided snowflake on his neck.

He has a severely swollen and deeply bruised neck compounded by deep cuts across the neck, a severely swollen and deeply bruised left arm compounded by deep cuts across the left arm.

He is bleeding with slight bruising in the left arm, slightly from the left arm, with slight bruising in the neck and slightly from the neck.

He is wearing a jet black damite armet shaped like a howling wolf's head, some burnished everdusk damite full plate embellished with scorpion diamonds, an effervescent eddy of honey-hued light captured by a sungold frame, a pair of burnished everdusk damite gauntlets embellished with scorpion diamonds, a white silk surcoat with the crest of the Paladins' Guild on the front and some darkly glimmering black glaes boots.

Elurora moves into position to cover Davrion from harm.

Elurora positions herself to intercept Cambin's strike against Davrion!

Cambin's flamberge suddenly cries out Justice! as it flares white hot and lands a light hit (1/23) to Elurora's right arm.  

Illiya glances at Cambin.

Sceth raises an eyebrow.

Elurora positions herself to intercept Cambin's strike against Davrion!

Cambin's flamberge suddenly cries out Justice! as it flares white hot and lands a light hit (1/23) to Elurora's chest.  

Elurora positions herself to intercept Cambin's strike against Davrion!

Cambin's flamberge suddenly cries out Justice! as it flares white hot and lands a light hit (1/23) to Elurora's chest.  

Ollythander moves into position to block attacks against Elurora!

Imroth draws forth a sungold-inlaid Imperial spear with a gleaming split-blade tip.

Cambin retreats from combat.

Cambin retreats from combat.

Amabalis blinks.

Imroth's spear lands a very heavy hit (8/23) that barely punctures the skin on the upper chest causing a slight welt.  

The Imperial spear lodges itself shallowly into Cambin!

Dark golden light shoots from Cambin to Imroth, but he endures its aggressive brilliance.

Tekhelet moves over to guard you.

Cambin goes north.

Gragnel stands near a highbacked chair.

Elurora sighs.

Gragnel fidgets nervously.

Siendra growls, "Cowarrrd."

Valynn frowns.

Elurora works carefully at tending Davrion's wounded left arm.

Sceth works carefully at tending Davrion's wounded neck.

Amabalis nods to Eionelthaniel.

Sukidesu just touched Davrion.

Chrysagon furrows his brow.

Hebion says to Davrion, "That is what your comrades are worth."

Valynn says, "I was hoping this wouldn't devolve."

Salvitoriel gawks at Sceth.

Elurora sighs.

Davrion quietly says, "I suppose it only fitting some of my blood was shed here."

Davrion stands up.

Aemaranth rests her hand on Elurora's arm with a soft smile.

Siendra exclaims to Valynn, "You cannot say we did not try!"

Davrion bows to Elurora.

Elurora says to Aemaranth, "I'm alright."

(Nawain hisses and gazes after Cambin, muttering under her breath.)

Elurora pulls Aemaranth to her in a tight hug.

Valynn nods to Siendra.

Elurora bows to Davrion.

Elurora smiles at Illiya.

Hebion says to Elurora, "You did well."

Aemaranth wraps her arms around Elurora in a loving hug.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Siendra says to you, "He is *not* vrali."

Valynn gazes at you.

Gragnel nods to Davrion.

Davrion quietly says to Elurora, "I owe you my life there, had you not been so quick with your shield...."

Jaelia raises her hand.

Elurora shakes her head at Davrion.

Siendra says to Davrion, "Remember that."

Hebion says, "He should be stripped of any name among those with honor."

You gaze at Siendra.

Salvitoriel quietly says to Sceth, "I mean I understand the desire to practice with your bandages but really."

Sukidesu nods to you.

Siendra says, "There are good people."

You sigh.

Elurora says to Davrion, "You owe Nawain your life."

Aemaranth asks Siendra in a melodic accent, "Do you want me to go deal with Cambin?"

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "Not vrali. Not until he shows some real remorse."

Gragnel softly says to Davrion, "Good thing you had that lovely damite on. And the smell is sublime..."

Aemaranth peers quizzically at Siendra.

Elurora shakes her head at Aemaranth.

Valynn grins at Salvitoriel.

Gragnel hums to himself.

Elurora pulls Aemaranth towards her!

Elurora says to Aemaranth, "No."

Ollythander sighs.

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

Elurora pulls Aemaranth to her in a tight hug.

Hebion scans the area briefly.

Amabalis grins at Gragnel, her dimples flashing into view.

Amabalis giggles.

Siendra says, "He has a target on his back and he knows it.  Let him run like the coward he is."

You nod to Sukidesu.

Aemaranth nods to Siendra.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Not vrali. Until he deserves it."

Sukidesu leans on you.

Sukidesu nods.

You gaze off to the north.

Illiya says, "He's gone."

Amabalis nods to Eionelthaniel.

Aemaranth says to Siendra in a melodic accent, "Of course. I am around if you ever need anything."

Valynn asks, "Probably never v..ra..li?"

Siendra says to you, "He knows you were stronger than he ever could be.  It is why he stooped so low."

Aemaranth smiles at Siendra, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Jaelia asks Siendra, "You speak of pack, and how we are stronger with it, but you have asked Davrion to abandon his pack and have no other pack options. He could do that after he speaks to them. It is not a decision made lightly. Will he be offered pack by others?"

Siendra nods at Valynn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Elurora quietly says to Hebion, "Maybe I helped save Sir Davrion, but Cambin is still lost."

Ollythander quietly says to Saph in a polished accent, "Told you he was scared."

Tekhelet leans over and whispers, "I'll make sure you're whole again Razs Lafsa."

Siendra asks Jaelia, "When did I never give him pack options?"

Aemaranth wraps her arms lovingly around Elurora, snuggling close.

You pull Tekhelet to you in a tight hug.

Tekhelet runs his fingers through your hair.

Siendra asks, "Did we not just defend him?"

Hebion says to Jaelia, "What he has is not a pack, but a disease."

Tekhelet pulls you to him in a tight hug.

You whisper to Tekhelet, "I know you will, my love. I know it."

Aemaranth nods at Hebion, obviously agreeing with his views.

Saph nods to Ollythander.

Valynn nods at Hebion, obviously agreeing with his views.

Jaelia asks, "I understand, but he views it as pack. Would he be welcome into antoher so he has options?"

Saph impishly says, "And dishonored again."

Ollythander nods to Saph.

Sukidesu glances at Siendra.

Ollythander quietly says to Saph in a polished accent, "Likely could track the urine trail...."

Ollythander shrugs.

Hebion says, "He was just protected by those he was here to redress hurts to."

Sukidesu chuckles at Ollythander.

Gragnel gawks at Ollythander.

Gragnel snickers.

Salvitoriel coughs.

Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Ollythander.

Gragnel drinks a portion of some sacramental wine.

Valynn says to Jaelia, "I think that would depend on Davrion and any repentence he chooses to perform."

Ollythander shakes his head.

Hebion says, "The only way to salvage his honor and to have a chance of comraderie of any value is to cast them aside."

Siendra says, "If he chooses our specific pack, and we decide it is to be, then yes.  And there is a whole community outside of this room, even, that would embrace him."

Jaelia nods to Siendra.

Sneeky shakes his head.

Jaelia says, "I just wished that to be expressed so it is clear we are not asking him to abandon Pack for nothing."

Siendra says, "Actions speak louder than words, however."

Salvitoriel appears to be whispering to those in his company.

Valynn nods at Salvitoriel, obviously agreeing with his views.

Siendra says, "We ask him to leave Dioe and Cambin because we believe in him.  That was expressed several times."

Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.

Sceth asks, "Isnt He showing his valor by showing he wont give up his friends just because someone asked him too?"

Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.

Hebion says, "There was a time I would name him among the knighthood. I will not recognize him as a brother as long as he is algined with them."

Salvitoriel gazes at Sceth.

Eionelthaniel smiles.

Chrysagon nods to Ollythander.

Sceth says, "You asked him to give up the whole group.. was how i interpreteted it . i felt his answer was honorable."

Jaelia says, "I understand. But it is complicated. I wish it to be clear that we offer and extend Pack or Community or Family to Davrion, not just expect him to turn his back on those closest to him, his current family, without offering the same in return."

Sceth nods to Jaelia.

Sceth says, "Exactly."

Illiya says, "He's welcome to join the Zoluren Defense and use his powers to fight on behalf of the people."

Hebion says, "They kidnapped someone and made them into an unwilling weapon. Even if he didn't now the details, the base actions are enough."

Jaelia says, "I agree with Sceth. We need to let him make that decision, but it is honorable to not just abnadon currently family without asking qustions."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I still do not doubt Sir Davrion's honor...just the callibur of his drinking buddies."

Elurora quietly says to Davrion, "I hope you will take some time to reflect on today, on what you could do with your strength, your courage, who you could be outside of Dioe's group.  A group that kidnapped, tortured, and even if they took no part in the actions, used that harm against others.  Dioe and Cambin at the forefort of that."

Siendra gently kisses you on the forehead.

Valynn says, "There's that word. Complicated."

Siendra quietly asks you, "Are you well?"

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Aemaranth says in a melodic accent, "No one should be turned away from the fire. When we push those away those who frieghten us, that is when we create monsters."

Ollythander nods to Aemaranth.

Jaelia nods at Aemaranth, obviously agreeing with her views.

Illiya says, "If we could be taken to task for the calibur of any of our associates, we might none of us pass that test."

You say to Siendra in a Rakash accent, "I am... yeah. Well. And... glad."

Jaelia nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.

Siendra smiles at you.

Illiya says to Davrion, "I know I have tried to recruit you in the past.. you are still welcome."

Imroth says, "I don't fully understand the Dioe connection."

Ophiliah wavers into view for a moment.

Ophiliah joins Davrion's group.

Sukidesu looks at Imroth and shrugs.

Aemaranth says to you in a melodic accent, "I am glad you are home and that you are safe."

Aemaranth nods politely to you.

Valynn says, "Dioe doesn't like the Baron either."

You say in a Rakash accent, "Killing him won't change him. And he needs to change."

You glance at Aemaranth, a female Rakash.

Hebion says to Imroth, "That is who they serve."

You give Aemaranth a slight nod.

Ollythander nods to you.

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "Many of us don't like the baron, but we don't hang out with Dioe."

Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.

Illiya says, "We all make mistakes. I belive in Davrion."

Ollythander says to Siendra in a polished accent, "It's nice to meet you by the way. I've heard lovely things."

Elurora says to Imroth, "I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Cambin implanted certain words inside Miss Nawain's mind that allow others to command her to do harm to her friends."

Siendra smiles at Ollythander.

Salvitoriel says, "Get out of therengia necromancer."

Siendra bows to Ollythander.

Davrion quietly says, "I serve no one. I follow my own path and with those who join me on it in common cause."

Aemaranth searches around for a moment.

Eionelthaniel says in a rustic accent, "My notes say that Dioe planted the words and Cambin used them.."

Hebion says to Davrion, "I've watched him snap and you fight for his whim."

Ollythander says to Siendra in a polished accent, "Should you need eyes in Zoluren, let me know. I can let you know if he surfaces."

Eionelthaniel glances at Elurora.

Valynn gazes at Sukidesu.

You say to Eionelthaniel in a Rakash accent, "Other way round."

Siendra says to Ollythander, "Thank you for everything.  You are a good knight."

Eionelthaniel nods to you.

Sukidesu cocks his head at Valynn.

Davrion quietly says to Hebion, "From the outside it may well appear that way. from the inside it is much different."

Ollythander says to Siendra in a polished accent, "I'm just Olly."

Ollythander smiles.

Siendra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Aemaranth ponders.

Siendra says, "Well, then."

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

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

Elurora asks, "His implanted words in his own mind?"

Elurora scratches her head.

Siendra says, "You are a good Olly."

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "We aren't sure HOW he did it."

Ollythander laughs!

Eionelthaniel raises an eyebrow.

Sukidesu looks at Elurora and shrugs.

Aemaranth says to Davrion in a melodic accent, "Now I am curious. Tell us, tell us about it."

Eionelthaniel shrugs.

Valynn asks Sukidesu, "Let's leave politics out of this, eh?"

Elurora says to Eionelthaniel, "I don't really understand it, as we can see."

Elurora flashes a quick grin at Eionelthaniel.

Sukidesu gazes at Valynn.

Valynn fixes Sukidesu with a serene, lofty stare.

Siendra just tickled Sukidesu, who laughs and returns the favor.

Eionelthaniel nods to Elurora.

Ollythander shrugs.

Eionelthaniel says in a rustic accent, "I just knwo what I wrote.. and I have a perfect memory."

Eionelthaniel smiles at Elurora.

Ollythander hums cheerfully to himself.

Elurora chuckles at Eionelthaniel.

Davrion quietly says to Aemaranth, "My goal is the death of the Baron. all the rest matters little to me but I help because THEY help me."

Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, "I was responding to someone else. I am ambivalent about it."

Elurora says to Eionelthaniel, "I don't."

Kethrai just left.

Siendra grins at Ollythander.

Eionelthaniel grins at Elurora.

Valynn glances at Davrion.

Ollythander stands near Saph.

Valynn looks at Davrion and sighs.

Saph trills, her ears relaxing minutely back against her head.

Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, "It was good to see you believe in yourself."

You smile at Ollythander.

Hebion says, "Just another Walcar."

You say in a Rakash accent, "How could I not? S-so many of you seem to."

You hug Ollythander who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile.  A faint scent of apples clings to his skin.

Ollythander hugs you.

Davrion wraps his arms lovingly around Ophiliah, snuggling close.

Illiya says, "It looks like the situation sis table and under control now. Thank you Siendra and the pack for overseeing this civil discourse."

Aemaranth asks Davrion in a melodic accent, "Okay. Therengia isn't my favorite Province. But why? Tell me why you want to kill the Baron? What are you going to do once he is gone?"

Ophiliah wraps her arms lovingly around Davrion, snuggling close.

Aemaranth fixes Davrion with a solid, steady stare.

Illiya says, "Thank you Nawain and Davrion for submitting to the discourse as well."

Valynn growls ferociously!

Imroth says, Dis.

Imroth clasps Illiya's hand tenderly.

Ophiliah asks, "He has a long history for that.. you sure you got time ?"

Eionelthaniel stretches his arms.

Ophiliah chortles softly at some secret joke.

Elurora says to you, "I think you did well, I can't imagine how difficult this was for you."

Imroth says, "I must take my leave."

Sukidesu leans on you.

Sukidesu grins at Siendra, his dimples flashing into view.

Aemaranth says to Davrion in a melodic accent, "Do be safe."

Jaelia says to Davrion, "If it helps - when I watched Prince Vorclaf die, it brought a bit of peace to me for actions he did that caused me great harm. However, it brought so much devestation to others, I do not feel that death, even of a ruler or noble, ever brings Justice. Ultimately, what it did to the World was worse than any crimes that happened to me under his rule."

Ophiliah says, "Again why."

Davrion quietly says to Valynn, "My manor is here."

Jaelia nods to Davrion.

Elurora asks Valynn, Why isn't she welcome but he is?

Ophiliah says, "Thats what i asked."

Aemaranth stands near Elurora.

Valynn says, "Just leave, alright? This fortress is so very boring."

Sceth folds her arms across her chest.

Jaelia says to Valynn, "You are a strong ambassador. I am sorry for things you have to watch and endure. It is unfair to paint Theren in broad strokes as it has been tonight. Things are always more nuanced, but killing swaths of any population is always bad."

Hebion says to Valynn, "I disagree."

You say in a Rakash accent, "I didn't want... um."

Ollythander says in a polished accent, "But this place had a table."

Ollythander points at a table.

You say in a Rakash accent, "Vengeance is dark. Didn't... want it there."

Davrion quietly says, "It was were I was directed to present myself and Cambin."

You say in a Rakash accent, "Here has stains already."

You look around, trying to appear nonchalant.

Elurora says, "Very tall doorframes."

Elurora nods to Ollythander.

Jaelia says, "I wish you all well. While I am not sorry for any offense I may have caused, it was not my intention. I just wanted to clarify a few details. If they seemed obvious to everyone, I was not sure all parties were certain of their clarity. Because there were some asks that may seem easier than they really are."

Ophiliah says, "Was a war room i bet."

Valynn says to Ollythander, "I appreciate your sunny outlook. You do not suffer the continual...oh, never mind."
