'''Correctly cast (used cut ritual), no poison:''' You feel the ritually prepared blood on your palm warm briefly, but nothing else happens.<br />
<br />
'''Incorrectly cast (did not use cut ritual):''' You feel your insides begin to warm and sense that you have made a terrible mistake. Without a ritually prepared exit point your blood is tormented by the spell pattern, erupting into a filamentous network of boiling movement and pain!

<br />
Darkewolff smiles.<br />
<br />
Elurora beams at you! What a warm feeling!<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel turns to face you.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "Before we get into the visions, the first thing to discuss is probably recent events relating to the object that was called the Nascent Unknown, now dubbed the Involuted Passage."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Tirost takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
You say, "For anyone who didn't notice all the explosions in the sky... It began shooting out crystals, most of which exploded in the sky in various fashions, though one vanished over the eastern horizon."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to you.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles quietly to himself.<br />
<br />
You say, "It then moved a bit, and the crystals began regenerating. Before it launched more, however, the scuttlers that have appeared in the Dragonspine Mountains began climbing a beam of starlight leading up to the asteroid itself, where they began trying to tear it apart."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smirks to himself.<br />
<br />
Tirost takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
Pyppa leans on Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel grins at Pyppa.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel winks at Pyppa.<br />
<br />
You say, "A number of adventurers also road up the starbeam, and found that some of the scuttlers had apparently been taken over by the Involuted Passage, turning them into 'starburned' versions which fought with the other scuttlers."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods politely.<br />
<br />
Elurora bows to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods amiably at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi smiles at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Lenko strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel peers quizzically at a russet lynx.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods politely.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel stands up.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Ezerak whispers something to Ayrell.<br />
<br />
A russet lynx snarls at Darkewolff.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel bows to Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff snickers.<br />
<br />
You say, "With a great deal of back and forth between the scuttlers, we were eventually able to get a handle on some complicated mathematical operations related to the crystals within the asteroid, disabling the device that was growing the crystals and allowing the scuttlers to tear it apart."<br />
<br />
Ezerak hugs Navesi, who wraps her arms around Ezerak with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel takes a seat.<br />
<br />
Navesi begins chortling at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi hugs Ezerak, who wraps his arms around Navesi with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Navesi hugs Ayrell, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Ayrell hugs Navesi, who wraps her arms around Ayrell with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Navesi.<br />
<br />
You say, "At that point, the scuttlers were able to focus their attention on tearing down a slab of crystal preventing access deeper into the asteroid."<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes thoughtfully at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "The interior was... difficult to describe."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel furrows his brow.<br />
<br />
Navesi gives you a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Lenko asks, "Were you able to bring back any pieces of it?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says to you, "I am currently trying to do that task in my writing. It is not easy."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel glances at Lenko.<br />
<br />
You say, "Space seemed to be warped within, looking out onto stars, and with rifts that seemed to show potential futures, both of Elanthia and other, more far off places."<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
Pyppa nods to you.<br />
<br />
Elurora softly says, "There was even a dragon."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "It had a kind of lightness to it, like every step took you too far. And the circle..."<br />
<br />
Navesi gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
You say, "There was also a circle of light that seemed to be the core of the Involuted Passage itself."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "A dragon?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "There was a dragon?"<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Belzor, "Through one of the rifts. Not on the...star crystal-rock thing."<br />
<br />
You say to Lenko, "Unfortunately, no. Though the scuttlers did seem to have removed a great deal of material, but we've been unable to find what they did with it."<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Oh my."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel mutters something into the air about enough with the dragons.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel sighs.<br />
<br />
Elurora giggles at Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Lenko nods to you.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Lenko says, "Definitely interesting."<br />
<br />
You say, "As we stood in the interior, the warping of space seemed to get more and more pronounced, until eventually we were flung back to the ground and the whole place vanished in a flash of blue light."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Ezathiel, "Maybe you're bored with dragons, but I think it was neat to see one, at a great distance through a rift, which seems safer than face to face..."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "It was a greater experience than many I have had."<br />
<br />
Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel grins at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi hails Hanryu with a clenched fist over her heart and a respectful nod.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says to Elurora, "Shades of Krenze fresh in my mind, is all."<br />
<br />
Hanryu hails Navesi with a clenched fist over his heart and a respectful nod.<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel winks at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Dragons aren't so bad."<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Gridaksma.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel smiles at Gridaksma.<br />
<br />
Lenko strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The dragon rift reminded me a little of the Kaneija."<br />
<br />
Elurora cocks her head at Navesi.<br />
<br />
You say, "On reflection, I think it may have been an emergency escape, rather than destruction. So it's probably still out there... but it seemed like a considerable amount of damage was done to it."<br />
<br />
Hanryu raises a hand, rubbing his neck absently.<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly asks Navesi, "The who?"<br />
<br />
Darkewolff peers quizzically at you.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Icy city strung with lights..."<br />
<br />
Lenko nods to you.<br />
<br />
Tirost frowns thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
Elurora blinks at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Elurora slowly asks you, "You mean, it could maybe come back?"<br />
<br />
Tirost asks you, "Any sense of why it came here?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Elurora, "Oh, it is a belief of the Kaldar and the Gorbesh who worship the Alaudian pantheon. We believe that our souls go to the Kaneija after death, guarded by Orisas. It is a city of light."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff rubs his right eye.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel cocks his head.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "On that note, I think Navesi might have gotten a bit more of an insight there."<br />
<br />
Elurora glances at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost glances at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi shifts her weight.<br />
<br />
You ask Navesi, "You sensed something while we were there, yes?"<br />
<br />
Navesi rubs her neck.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to you.<br />
<br />
Lenko gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I have just been making my account of it. Forgive me, I wasn't ready to talk about it yet. But if it is desired, allow me to read what I've written so far."<br />
<br />
Navesi yanks her black coat down, fixing the fit.<br />
<br />
Navesi gets a slender oak-bound volume incised with "The First Land Herald" from inside her black coat.<br />
<br />
Navesi carefully opens a slender oak-bound volume incised with "The First Land Herald".<br />
<br />
Elurora leans against a comfortable chair with Elothean silk upholstery.<br />
<br />
Tirost takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Belzor quietly says, "Always so organized."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Elurora nods at Belzor, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Lenko smiles.<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at Hanryu.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I was drawn to the circle, drawn downward, as everyone else stopped to view the rifts in probability. I sensed it, as if calling to me."<br />
<br />
Elurora cocks her head at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I descended to the deepest point. Mounted in the center of the fathomless chamber, the starlight circle hovered directly above, held in place by four crystalline pincers which seemed to emerge from nothingness and delicately clasped the circle's edge. From every angle the object appeared as a perfect, dark blue circle. The distant walls were barely visible, dissolving into near total transparency, through which a field of stars burned brightly, albeit arranged in a configuration unknown to any starchart I had ever glimpsed. There was movement in the distance, winding bulges in the darkness that pushed at the visible objects."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I was arrested by it. Stopped in my tracks, consumed. The past twisted and opened around me."<br />
<br />
Navesi gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
Belzor gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
(Navesi blinks a few times, then resumes reading from her volume.)<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The past expanded, excised itself from any notions of causality or linearity, and I watched as stars underwent a backwards and forwards cycle of collapsing under their own weight, burning brighter, then erupting into a cloud of diffuse gas, with all points occurring simultaneously. The dark blue circle nearby, I knew then, is not a moment in time, it is an Involuted Passage, roaming the cosmos and epochs for -- I found I could not say, though gleaming civilizations rendered into starburned dust rapidly flickered before my view. The circle, I was certain, has shaped and molded many things in its journey, though the aesthetic is difficult to understand."<br />
<br />
Elurora furrows her brow.<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly asks Gridaksma, "What's an epoch?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Somehow I also knew that, eons in the past, the circle reacted to my observation and was confused, rippling as it dug into the when upon which it rested, and in eons to come, it prepared for my arrival up the starbeam, readying its story."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Reeling from the circularity of it all, I found myself stumbling, stammering answers to what felt like too many questions. I don't recall how I managed to exit the asteroid, or what happened to it. Fortunately the steady hand of my spouse was on my shoulder when I returned to myself, and he was able to tell me what occurred."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma quietly says to Elurora, "A very very long time."<br />
<br />
Elurora gives Gridaksma a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi gently closes a slender oak-bound volume incised with "The First Land Herald".<br />
<br />
Navesi clears her throat.<br />
<br />
You say to Navesi, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
Navesi gives you a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Tirost lets out a long, contemplative breath.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel blinks at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel slowly empties his lungs.<br />
<br />
Elurora slowly asks, "So it was in the past and the now and the future? Like it just stretched across time?"<br />
<br />
Elurora cocks her head at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel shakes his head.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi rubs her head.<br />
<br />
Navesi gives Elurora a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I think so."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks Navesi, "Is your impression that the circle of dark blue light was sentient, or otherwise had some design in its actions?"<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says, "To have survived such an experience is amazing to say the least Navesi."<br />
<br />
Navesi smiles faintly.<br />
<br />
You say, "So as best we can tell from the information gathered, it seems the presence of the Involuted Passage has been deleterious to the planets it has visited."<br />
<br />
Navesi bows her head, acknowledging Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Elurora squints at you.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Tirost, "I could not tell. Not for certain. Looking back on my experience, I suspect something like sentience, though."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Molding and shaping, with some kind of purpose, I imagine."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Preparing itself for me."<br />
<br />
You say, "Between the form of that circle of light, the use of Lunar magic, crystals, and the extremely complex math involved, my theory would be that the Involuted Passage is a being originally from the Plane of Probability."<br />
<br />
Hanryu says, "I'm intrigued by the bright burning stars. Aren't the stars usually associated with cold? Very interesting."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Stars are cold, indeed."<br />
<br />
Belzor says to Navesi, "And quite hot at times as well."<br />
<br />
Navesi shakes her head at Belzor.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Not that I have seen."<br />
<br />
Elurora rubs her head.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks you, "Do you think it communicated with Navesi, or that her Bardic abilities allowed her to glimpse its design?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Though I am no Moon Mage."<br />
<br />
You say, "Definitely quite cold. Though something cold enough can also burn, after a fashion."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I suspect that the opening to the past was available to any Bard present with the ability to evoke."<br />
<br />
Hanryu nods to you.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I see no reason it would want to communicate with me in particular."<br />
<br />
Hanryu searches around for a moment.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "My hunch is that it was related to a bard's abilities to sense the past."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Unfortunately I was so floored by the experience, I did not manage to catch any other Bards and see if they experienced the same."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I felt as though I blinked and it was all over, and we were safe on Elanthia again."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi frowns.<br />
<br />
You say, "I did have something reach out to me and push some information into my head, but it was more in the form of astronomical information, and at a scale I wasn't able to grasp."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I feel terribly about that."<br />
<br />
Tirost raises an eyebrow in your direction.<br />
<br />
Navesi raises an eyebrow in your direction.<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "What sort of astronomical information?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to you, "That sounds painful."<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "Like the origin?"<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly says, "Sounds like math."<br />
<br />
Elurora squints at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "Linear diagrams linking constellations. Something which felt ominous, but I wasn't able to fully grasp."<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "It is interesting also that the scuttlers that were already here on Elanthia resisted those that came with the Involuted Passage."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi shakes her head at Tirost.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff grins slowly.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel grins at Hanryu.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "The starburned scuttlers did not come with the Involuted Passage, I believe. They were transformed after entering."<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Tirost, "I don't believe any came with the Involuted Passage. Rather, it turned our scuttlers into starburned ones that fought their brethren."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to you.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "It was like star-corrupted scuttlers."<br />
<br />
Tirost asks, "But why would ours have sought to destroy the slap that lead to access if they were not resisting the passage itself?"<br />
<br />
Tirost clears his throat.<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "Slab, sorry."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Ours streamed up to the asteroid on the starbeam, then were immediately caught up in battle with the corrupted versions."<br />
<br />
You say, "It did not have permission, apparently. The scuttlers shouted that, at points."<br />
<br />
Elurora chuckles.<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Tirost runs his fingers through his hair.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I suspect they were busy with the fighting and then with as much dismantling as they could do."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff rubs his right eye.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Navesi, "And you mentioned that message was not unique to the Involuted Passage..."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel ponders.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Tirost.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Tirost, "You mean the 'it does not have permission'? That has featured in several visions."<br />
<br />
Qetu says, "If I may, when I arrived up ther eit felt like the starburned scuttlers were trying to preserve whatever crystal had been blocking that passage, and the regular ones wanted it open."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "Is there a link between the scuttlers and the.. passage? If it had parked above myvern mountain would there have been starburned wyverns?"<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Qetu, "That was my impression as well, but I got there after Saragos and Navesi."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel shudders.<br />
<br />
You say, "I'm not sure if it could have done something to the wyverns, but I don't think they'd have an interest in attacking it."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Good question. There is in fact a strong link."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The scuttlers built a great mosaic that seemed to summon the starbeam, which landed at a similar mosaic on the asteroid."<br />
<br />
Tirost smiles at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Qetu asks, "You are all great mages, could the location simply been the closest point from their location to kermoria as a whole?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The scuttlers are also creatures of the Plane of Probability, are they not? Made of avtalia and crauyarin crystal."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Navesi, "That was my belief as well."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "And deal with crystal magic."<br />
<br />
You say to Qetu, "After the distance it traveled, the difference in any particular location here was pretty minor. It also spent some time orbiting before picking a final location."<br />
<br />
Qetu nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say, "And having gone over all of that, we now have a segue into the first of the visions I have to discuss this evening... because it seems we are not yet done with the aftereffects of this visit from the Involuted Passage."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Elurora cocks her head at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "Drifting along the ocean floor, a curious dolphin nudged me, urging me to follow. I pushed along the current along the edge of a deep ravine, doing my best to ignore the vast open darkness below. The dolphin led me to a freshly gouged track in the rocky floor, and resting partway over the lip of the ravine was a large chunk of slightly vibrating fractured crystal. The dolphin kept its distance and seemed agitated at the crystal's presence, but I moved closer. Certain I had seen this before, I reached out to touch the foreign object, when it suddenly contracted to nearly a quarter its former size, drawing me closer, and then violently expanded along several faces, shoving me backward. The dolphin emitted a series of angry squeals and clicks as it fled, and the crystal rocked precariously over the edge of the ravine, tottering for a moment before tumbling down into the inky depths. I watched the crystal disappear, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff takes a bite of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
You say, "So I think the theory that the crystal which vanished over the horizon landed in the ocean was correct."<br />
<br />
Tirost frowns.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana says, "Great, more issues for the merelew and us."<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana sighs.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says, "Hm."<br />
<br />
Hanryu asks, "Could those fragmens be used as anchors like the named fragments of grazhir?"<br />
<br />
Pyppa pats Elizzibiana on the back.<br />
<br />
You say, "We don't know exactly the purpose of the crystals, but it seems likely they are related to the plans the Involuted Passage had. And one of the rifts showed Elanthia covered in crater marks and the oceans turned grey."<br />
<br />
Avyctis ponders.<br />
<br />
Hanryu says, "Though I suppose a naming rital as a few thousand fathoms might pose a challenge."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff takes a bite of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
Elurora frowns thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff takes a bite of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks you, "Do you think this aligns with the earlier visions of what we took to be a Trader diving for something beneath the waters?"<br />
<br />
Darkewolff takes a bite of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
Hanryu says to Tirost, "That would make sense, I'm sure that crystal would fetch a good price to the right buyer if it could be found."<br />
<br />
You say to Hanryu, "I'm not sure, though if so I think it would be completely separate from the Grazhir shards. I'm not sure how much of an impact these crystals might have on the Astral Plane."<br />
<br />
Hanryu nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "It is possible, yes."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel peers quizzically at a russet lynx.<br />
<br />
You say, "There's also another vision that might be related, from the mention of a dark blue color. Though the meaning is a bit less clear."<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
You say, "I found myself standing before an easel, evaluating a half-painted landscape showcasing a dramatic waterfall and leaning willow tree. It really was quite decently executed. I nodded in modest approval, and suddenly noticed a dark blue smudge in the otherwise empty sky. The smudge appeared to be shrinking, as if the paint was being absorbed into the canvas. I leaned in for a closer look when I heard a sound behind me, and turning quickly, I saw the woman in a wide-brimmed hat clicking her lighter off and taking a deep drag from a cigarello. Exhaling twin plumes of smoke from her nose, she looked directly at me and began to laugh."<br />
<br />
You say, ""Oh, no no, don't mind me. It's a fine rendition, really."<br />
<br />
You say, "She continued laughing, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Tirost ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel blinks at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "There had been a previous vision of a painter before an easel, painting something that might have been related to the Involuted Passage, which began to freeze over and glow."<br />
<br />
Pyppa ponders.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks you, "The smoking woman has also appeared in other visions, has she not?"<br />
<br />
You say, "The smudge shrinking seems to be good, but most of the visions that have featured this woman seem to involve a disaster of some sort."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Shrinking crystal. Shrinking blob on a painting."<br />
<br />
A steady trickle of water pours from the mouth of a gaping aqueous fissure.<br />
<br />
Imroth shrugs.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />

A steady trickle of water pours from the mouth of a gaping aqueous fissure.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says to himself, "Slow deteriotaion, slow absorbtion and fading away."<br />
<br />
(Miskton glances at the fissure.)<br />
<br />
Ezathiel ponders.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana nods to you.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana chuckles.<br />
<br />
(Miskton pauses for a moment in thought, and a short while later a novice moon mage comes by and puts a bucket under the fissure.)<br />
<br />
Elurora appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles at you!<br />
<br />
Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
Pyppa grins at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "Anyway..."<br />
<br />
Lenko chuckles.<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel snickers.<br />
<br />
Pyppa closes her eyes for a moment and grows still.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
You say, "Let's see, which vision to discuss next..."<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "That's just asking for mold."<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel laughs!<br />
<br />
Ezathiel blushes a bright red color.<br />
<br />
You say, "A young man sat on a short stool, wrapping his fists in thick canvas. Tying the covering tight, he pounded his padded knuckles together and took several sharp breaths, grunting loudly and stretching his arms. The man left the room, and a crowd roared in welcome. I watched the exit doorway for some time, listening for the sounds of battle, but all I could hear was the howl of the crowd. After a moment, the roar quieted, and a dual thump thump came from behind me. Turning, I was surprised to see the young man sitting on the stool, exactly as before. Taking several sharp breaths and grunting loudly, he once again stretched and left the room. Then the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Pyppa ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
You say, "Not sure exactly what to make of that one, though I've heard preparations for the next set of challenges at Drathrok's Duskruin are in motion..."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Maybe. Sounds like the battle part didn't happen though."<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Duskruin?"<br />
<br />
Belzor peers quizzically at you.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Maybe the crowd was just too loud."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says, "Or prepare for neverending conflict."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel shrugs.<br />
<br />
You say to Belzor, "A battle arena, where contestants can fight monsters."<br />
<br />
Belzor says to you, "Sounds like a nice night on the town."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Belzor.<br />
<br />
You say to Imroth, "Yes, it could be that the crowd was too loud, or there could be something else going on."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Drathrok puts it on every once in a while."<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Everyone can attend?"<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
You say to Belzor, "There are also stands for watching people fight."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Anyone who likes fighting, cheering, or running through mazes."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel stands up.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel closes the step stool.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel puts his stool in his rucksack.<br />
<br />
Belzor exclaims, "Sounds like fun!"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel removes a tinted monocle from his right eye.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gets a soft chamois cloth with golden trim from inside his rucksack.<br />
<br />
Tirost smiles at Belzor.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel smiles sourly as he cleans the besmudged monocle carefully.<br />
<br />
You say, "So, there's that. There will certainly be a lot of people repeatedly preparing for fights. It could also be some other sort of loop or repeating action, but the preparing for combat does seem likely to be important."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel rubs a tinted monocle.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel attaches a tinted monocle to his right eye.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel shifts his weight.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel shifts his weight.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "I certainly relate to the ceaseless reptition of combat training."<br />
<br />
You grin at Tirost.<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Imroth chuckles.<br />
<br />
Hanryu searches around for a moment.<br />
<br />
Imroth exclaims, "Muscles grow strong through repetition!"<br />
<br />
Belzor asks Tirost, "The way of the guild, I suppose?"<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
You say, "Let's see... Two more visions to discuss this evening. I suppose I'll get the less... pleasant one out of the way, first."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods at Belzor, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "Just so."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at you.<br />
<br />
You say, "A man knelt in a dark room and sketched a series of symbols into an unsettling ritual circle. Once complete, the man began to chant, and the circle sizzled and writhed to the cadence of his intonation. After some time, the man choked, retching and coughing, and his back rippled grotesquely, the skin splitting and tearing as boney plates and ribs extended from his spine. The horrifying change went on for some time, the man writhing in agony in a growing pool of blood and gore, and finally, the ritual concluded."<br />
<br />
You say, "The ritual circle evaporated, and the man rose, steaming beneath a vile suit of bone armor. With an air of newly acknowledging my presence, he looked at me and grinned, and then the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Avyctis blinks.<br />
<br />
Imroth frowns.<br />
<br />
Navesi shudders.<br />
<br />
Sofina smiles.<br />
<br />
Sofina says, "Sounds like fun."<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Well, that is.....interesting."<br />
<br />
Tirost glances at Sofina.<br />
<br />
You say, "The first thing that comes to mind there is a new development in necromantic magic, from the looks of it."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
Hanryu sarcastically says, "Great, we needed better aromred Necromancers."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Lenko ponders.<br />
<br />
Tirost grins at Hanryu.<br />
<br />
Sofina says, "Bone armored at that."<br />
<br />
Sofina looks herself over.<br />
<br />
Lenko nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana says, "Ugh, bloody bird."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Their own bones."<br />
<br />
Elurora furrows her brow.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel glances at Sofina.<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Sofina unfurls her nightsilk wings, revealing the claws at the wing joints.<br />
<br />
Sofina smiles at Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Pyppa raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel clucks his tongue and shakes his head.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "It doesn't seem to be something that will be used by the Redeemed."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Sometimes I think the public view of necromancers is too harsh... and sometimes they do stuff like that."<br />
<br />
Hanryu chuckles.<br />
<br />
Elurora rubs her nose.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "I'm not sure exactly what limitations the Immortals place on them, but that does seem plausible."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel sighs.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
You say, "I don't think there's any particular action items to take from what we can see there... but something to be on the lookout for, to avoid being surprised by it."<br />
<br />
Pyppa nods to you.<br />
<br />
Avyctis cocks his head.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />
You say, "And then... one more vision to go over."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Didn't think I would need to suggest keeping one's bones on the inside."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "I have long wondered what has become of Sivroch, and whether she has assumed the place formerly held by Jeihrem, or whether he has fully recovered."<br />
<br />
Elurora chuckles at Imroth.<br />
<br />
You say, "Loud conversation and a flurry of scents washed over me as I navigated a busy market. Vendors sold exotic fabrics and gems from far away lands, haggling over piles of spices and aromatic oils. I turned a corner into a quieter region of the bazaar, and the sounds and smells instantly became distant, muffled by the rough stone walls of a long alley. With some curiosity, I walked into the shade, studying the sides of buildings and drainage, enjoying a few moments of quiet in the liminal space."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at Imroth.<br />
<br />
You say, "A very large dog emerged from a collection of discarded debris. Missing a small chunk of its right ear, and its fur matted and dirty, the dog studied me for a moment, its eyes narrowed as it slinked cautiously forward. Its lip curled, and a low growl echoed. The dog approached, and suddenly, its tail began to wag and it dropped into a play bow, and it barked at me happily. Then, the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Elurora ponders.<br />
<br />
You say, "Not sure exactly what it means, but it's definitely on the pleasant side as far as visions go."<br />
<br />
Pyppa chuckles at you!<br />
<br />
Gridaksma ponders.<br />
<br />
Belzor says to you, "At least it recognized you."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "I do like dogs."<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
Tirost grins at you.<br />
<br />
Imroth smiles.<br />
<br />
Lenko nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say, "Yes, hostile at first, but probably because it seems to have had a rough time. But then happy upon getting a closer look."<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly says, "Probably hungry."<br />
<br />
Elurora frowns.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks you, "Guarded I would say, vice hostile?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />
Belzor says to you, "Sorry for the interruption, please continue."<br />
<br />
Belzor blushes a bright red color.<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Belzor.<br />
<br />
You say, "I wouldn't mind helping out a dog in need, though I think finding a stray dog is probably not the kind of event to have enough of an impact on the web of fate to be seen like this."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel scratches his head.<br />
<br />
You say, "Unless a lot of people are going to be finding dogs in the near future, I suppose."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Imroth ponders.<br />
<br />
Pyppa nods.<br />
<br />
Imroth smirks.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana asks, "Maybe a traders market in Muspar'i to replace the shop place in the wm guild?"<br />
<br />
Lenko grins.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Or perhaps this one was destined to be found by you?"<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at Elizzibiana.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana says, "Since dogs can be our familiars."<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly says, "I wonder if Dog would be upset if I brought another dog home."<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
You grin.<br />
<br />
Elurora takes a sip of her milk.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Gridaksma gazes thoughtfully at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Elurora glances at Gridaksma.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Any chance a festival is coming about?"<br />
<br />
Belzor peers quizzically at you.<br />
<br />
Imroth mutters something into the air about probably upset about the name.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "They are social animals. I hear they enjoy company."<br />
<br />
Elurora slowly says to Gridaksma, "I probably wouldn't name it Dog II."<br />
<br />
Elurora looks at Gridaksma, obviously trying not to grin.<br />
<br />
Pyppa laughs at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel snickers at Elurora.<br />
<br />
You say to Belzor, "Not that I'm aware of, though there are usually some festivities around the opening of Duskruin Arena, previously mentioned."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma asks Elurora, "Not zacur either?"<br />
<br />
Elurora asks Gridaksma, "Wouldn't that be cheating?"<br />
<br />
Tirost takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
Gridaksma chuckles at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "I wonder...."<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
You say, "That covers the visions I had to discuss this evening, but there is one other thing I wanted to mention..."<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Lenko asks, "Dogs in the mazes?"<br />
<br />
Lenko flashes a wide grin.<br />
<br />
Sofina nods to Lenko.<br />
<br />
Belzor gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana says to Lenko, "Not likely."<br />
<br />
You say, "Many of you have probably noticed some oddness when casting spells recently. Mana streams twisting unusually, or some sort of synesthesia..."<br />
<br />
Lenko says, "Aww."<br />
<br />
Navesi frowns.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Yes, in fact I did."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to you.<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to you.<br />
<br />
Imroth bows his head and chants a prayer.<br />
<br />
You say, "More recently, I've experienced something that seems like... an escalation."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
Lenko says, "I have noticed that as well."<br />
<br />
Elurora blinks at you.<br />
<br />
Ayrell ponders.<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana says to Lenko, "War mages have dogs as familiars already, puppies on the other hand might be different."<br />
<br />
Hanryu searches around for a moment.<br />
<br />
You say, "Earlier today I was casting a spell, and the mana coiled around me tensely, giving the impression of a serpent preparing to strike."<br />
<br />
Tirost quietly says to you, "I'd hoped it was an effect of the Unknown."<br />
<br />
Lenko says to Elizzibiana, "Good point."<br />
<br />
Navesi frowns.<br />
<br />
Avyctis blinks.<br />
<br />
Imroth bows his head and chants a prayer.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Perhaps it was, and our response to the Involuted Passage brought this about."<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks Tirost, "Any chance a portion of the Unknown is still here, undiscovered?"<br />
<br />
Tirost glances at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Belzor, "Perhaps the crystal Miskton mentioned."<br />
<br />
You say to Belzor, "There seems to be some crystal in the deep ocean, at least."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "But... it did not particularly strike me as affecting magic or mana."<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "It seems likely that there are pieces of it about still, or whatever crystals it fired at us."<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes thoughtfully at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Imroth exclaims, "Time to explore the bottom of the ocean next!"<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Time to break out the air bubbles."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
You say, "If the dolphins are taking notice of it, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something from the Merelew."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say, "Though it should be some time still before Andreshlew rises again. Perhaps someone will contact us before then, though."<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Pyppa.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "To be honest, I would be surprised that we have not heard from them already?"<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana asks, "Be what, couple years before we see them again. POssibly?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Elizzibiana.<br />
<br />
You ask, "And that coveres everything I had to discuss this evening. Does anybody else have anything they'd like to bring up?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell shakes her head.<br />
<br />
Imroth shakes his head.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Okay then, thank you all for coming!"<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
You carefully mark your place and close your astronomer's journal, securing the clasp.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Thank you for hosting."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Pyppa says, "Thank you Miskton."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "As always."<br />
<br />
Imroth bows to you.<br />
<br />
Elurora exclaims, "Thank you for holding this, Mister Miskton!"<br />
<br />
Pyppa curtsies to you.<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "Just my gratitude for your sharing the visions, Miskton. They led us to the Involuted Passage, and they are always intereting to hear and discuss."<br />
<br />
Elurora bows to you.<br />
<br />
Pyppa hugs Ayrell, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Hanryu says, "Safe paths all."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly asks you, "May i speak with you for a rew moments?"<br />
<br />
You say, "If anybody hears about signs of any other crystal fragments from the Involuted Passage, I'm definitely interested in any leads there."<br />
<br />
You nod to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods.<br />
<br />
Lenko nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Is there any particular description regarding those crystals?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says to you, "I will wait until you are not busy."<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Inf."<br />
<br />
Tirost bows.<br />
<br />

<br />
Imroth raises his hand in a quick salute.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to you, "Thank you for hosting."<br />
<br />
Sofina rolls her eyes.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "If....sorry, I do not mean to have so many questions."<br />
<br />
You say to Belzor, "Changing size would definitely be one thing. The fragments may be blue, as well."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "I do will my best to keep my eyes open for anything suspicious."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I must be on my way, but I wish you all a pleasant morning."<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "And if I do find a crystal, is it safe to pick up?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell curtsies gracefully.<br />
<br />
You say, "Any on land are probably quite small, though if they are capable of growing..."<br />
<br />
Lenko says, "I will as well."<br />
<br />
Belzor bows to Ayrell.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ayrell nods politely to you.<br />
<br />
Ayrell hugs Navesi, who wraps her arms around Ayrell with a warm smile.<br />
<br />

<br />
You say, "I know it's somewhat short notice, but there were issues with the normal scheduling of the meeting, and I did want to try to get something in before the expedition to the Dragon Spine mountains to look into possible relationships to the Nascent Unknown."<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "A custom spell pattern, that."<br />

Etasia smiles at Ezerak, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
You say, "On which note, before we get into the visions, I should quickly talk about the Nascent Unknown."<br />
<br />
You say, "Whatever was causing the glowing and pulsing appears to have ceased, but the Unknown is definitely still there in orbit, just harder to see when it's not glowing. It can still be spotted with a telescope, however."<br />
<br />
Etasia smiles at Kethrai, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />

Tirost raises a hand to his chest and bows his head to Kethrai.<br />

You say, "It also appears to be trailing a magical disturbance behind it, briefly hiding other celestial objects behind distorted ripples in its wake."<br />
<br />
Tirost frowns.<br />
<br />
Karthor strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.<br />
<br />
Pyppa ponders.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Hiding what other objects, plural is never good."<br />
<br />
Etasia takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash says, "Prolly whatever planets and stuff are behind it."<br />
<br />
You say, "My guess would be that whatever was the source of the light previously, it may now be contained within the crystal at the center of the asteroid."<br />
<br />
Khearkrash waves to Mistanna.<br />
<br />
You say, "And on the subject of the Unknown, we should perhaps start with a few visions that seem to have some relation to it."<br />
<br />
Tirost smiles at Mistanna.<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Mistanna smiles at Khearkrash.<br />
<br />
Etasia smiles at Allye, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Mistanna waves to Tirost.<br />
<br />
Tirost waves.<br />
<br />
Belzor casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
Ryeka gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
Luna just arrived.<br />
<br />
Allye grins at Ryeka.<br />
<br />
You say, "With a hammering blow, I felt the air torn from my chest, and I found myself cast high into the sky, the curve of Elanthia falling away as I flailed madly to orient myself. In the distance, I made out a perfect circle of featureless dark blue light, which began to grow, though I was unable to ascertain whether the object was approaching or expanding. The edges of the circle began to blot out the stars and moons, covering the curve of the planet, and still it grew. I felt myself tugged forward, falling into the circle as its edges expanded ever outward and it seemed to wrap around me, a shrinking circle of visible space behind me, getting smaller and smaller. Finally, there was nothing but dark blue light, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Karthor scratches his head.<br />
<br />
Allye ponders.<br />
<br />
You say, "Although the light itself is gone for the moment, that dark blue light certainly makes me think of the Unknown."<br />
<br />
Allye nods to you.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods.<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash ponders.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash raises his hand.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "It's as if it is hovering, like it can be controlled."<br />
<br />
You say, "The expanding of the light in this case may refer to the object's influence... and I can't imagine that after traveling all this distance it's here to do something subtle and not very noticeable."<br />
<br />
You nod to Khearkrash.<br />
<br />
Allye says, "Consuming, kind of."<br />
<br />
Allye frowns.<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
Karthor asks, "So it's what, pullin' somethin' into itself? Or someone?"<br />
<br />
Etasia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Pulling somethings here."<br />
<br />
Khearkrash asks, "So a few of these visions have sort of alluded to "being on elanthia, then being the nascient unknown" right?"<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Plural, more than one thing."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Karthor, "Good question. It's disturbing in light of what Miskton said about the things it seems to have collected in its wake."<br />
<br />
Allye angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Khearkrash.<br />
<br />
You say to Khearkrash, "There have been some perspective shifts along those lines, yes."<br />
<br />
Khearkrash says, "So what if its like the return of something once banished from here."<br />
<br />
You say, "There have also been a few visions of things like falling into the light of the unknown. Or in one case being pulled up into the sky by something..."<br />
<br />
Tirost gazes thoughtfully at Khearkrash.<br />
<br />
You stroke your beard in thoughtful contemplation.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash asks, "Something ranging from good in Syal to bad, like Maelshyve or Lyras?"<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "That is quite a spread of possibilities."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn grins at Khearkrash, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
You say to Khearkrash, "It's a possibility, though nothing comes to mind at the moment as to a good clue for what it might be, in that case."<br />
<br />
Tirost glances at Luna.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash asks, "Something rapidly removed from our sense of existence, slowly making its way back?"<br />
<br />
Belzor gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Allye glances up at the sky.<br />
<br />
After a few moments she lowers her gaze.<br />
<br />
You say, "If it was something that had previously been on Elanthia, I suppose the only thing to go on is that it might be related to those who wielded crystal magic in the past, before it was lost."<br />
<br />
Ryeka ponders.<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Tezirah, to offer an option that's maybe somewhere between those extremes."<br />
<br />
Khearkrash ponders.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash nods.<br />
<br />
You say, "There's another vision that seems to be related to the Nascent Unknown. And also, possibly... something else."<br />
<br />
Tirost gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "The Merelew called it the long throw, but a translation of how long is the key, could it be from Imperial times or even older."<br />
<br />
You say, "In endless, starry darkness, I soared, winding between constellations and swirls of diffuse dust. A lighthouse rapidly spun, casting twin beams of light that pierced the void, illuminating nothing, and I drifted past the ancient object. I bumped into a slowly moving disturbance, gently pushed aside as the distortion tunneled in a winding motion. In the distance, I made out a point of dark blue light, and willed myself towards it. The point receded, and I pursued. After some time, the light vanished, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Pyppa raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Ryeka ponders.<br />
<br />
Ayrell curtsies gracefully.<br />
<br />
You say, "The lighthouse is something that has appeared in a number of visions at this point, though often appearing a bit more like a normal lighthouse."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn asks, "A new lighthouse vision?"<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Odd."<br />
<br />
Tirost ponders.<br />
<br />
Etasia smiles at Ayrell, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Ryeka asks, "Something that doesn't want to be seen?"<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at Allye.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Etasia.<br />
<br />
You say, "The point of blue light seems likely to be the Unknown, but then there's whatever that disturbance was that I bumped into."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods.<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Pyppa!<br />
<br />
You say, "The thing that comes to mind is being out in the middle of the ocean, and feeling yourself bump off of something large just below the surface. It is not a reassuring comparison."<br />
<br />
Khearkrash asks, "A disturbance in the void?"<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "I understood this as something that encountered the Unknown as it moved, before it came to rest above us."<br />
<br />
Ezerak smiles at Ayrell, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.<br />
<br />
Etasia ponders thoughtfully<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Tirost.<br />
<br />
Tirost smiles at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Khearkrash ponders.<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "Whatever it is could very well be related to the influence of the Unknown."<br />
<br />
Tirost asks you, "You said it is not sorrounded by a field of other objects?"<br />
<br />
You say, "But I did get the sense that it might be... something else, even if it is reacting to the Unknown."<br />
<br />
Tirost clears his throat.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks, "Now sorrounded by a field of other objects?"<br />
<br />
Ryeka ponders.<br />
<br />
Karthor asks, "That disturbance sounds a bit like what ya described earlier as bein' in the thing's wake, eh?"<br />
<br />
Khearkrash asks, "I vaguely remember there being a vision about souls and the big Void a while back, like escaping things from the big void? wasnt there?"<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "Oh, no. It passes in front of normal celestial objects as it moves above us, and even when not directly in front of them there is some disturbance that obscures them."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say, "But yes, this could be related to that disturbance."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn asks, "Almost like a comet tail?"<br />
<br />
You say to Khearkrash, "I think there have been some things along those lines, though I don't have the specifics at hand at the moment."<br />
<br />
You nod to Gwenddolyn.<br />
<br />
Etasia takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Typically, a lighthouse is placed to warn ships of the danger of running aground near them. It shouldn't be that unusual to run into something if you're drifting near a lighthouse. I'm more worried about the fact that it's said to be moving."<br />
<br />
Valynn just arrived.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Valynn!<br />
<br />
Khearkrash ponders.<br />
<br />
Jaelia gazes intently into her sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Valynn smiles at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Valynn smiles at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
You say, "Yes, the disturbance did seem to be moving as well."<br />
<br />
You say, "In the lighthouse vision."<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the whiskey.<br />
<br />
Pyppa ponders.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her tea.<br />
<br />
Tirost asks Kethrai, "Do you think it was actually a lighthouse, spinning in the void - or something that resembled one?"<br />
<br />
Valynn nods politely to Hanryu.<br />
<br />
Hanryu leans on Valynn.<br />
<br />
Kethrai looks at Tirost and shrugs.<br />
<br />
Valynn grins at Hanryu.<br />
<br />
Valynn hugs Hanryu, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Tirost, "It sounds like a symbol to me."<br />
<br />
Karthor says, "If it specifically illuminated nothin', maybe the hazard it was meant to warn about moved."<br />
<br />
Tirost nods to Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "Or maybe the mind of a visionary making sense of an object with lights spinning that has few other points of reference."<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Tirost, "For some sort of guide, perhaps."<br />
<br />
You say, "The lighthouse does seem like some sort of guidepost. And perhaps a point of safety, in some visions."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Tirost quietly says to you, "Forgive me, but I must take my leave. It was good to see you again."<br />
<br />
Tirost bows.<br />
<br />
You nod politely to Tirost.<br />
<br />
Etasia smiles at Tirost, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Mistanna chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mistanna waves to Tirost.<br />
<br />
You say, "There is also another vision which... might relate to the Unknown. Or could be something else entirely."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the whiskey.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her tea.<br />
<br />
Karthor says, "Narrows it down."<br />
<br />
Karthor chuckles.<br />
<br />
You say, "A winter field stretched before me, and with a squeal of laughter, a child skipped through the fluffy snow. Kneeling down, the child scooped a generous sweep of snow into her mittened hands and began to form a compact snowball. After a bit of work, she held up a lumpy mass and grinned happily. Suddenly, the snowball vibrated angrily, and several large spikes of slushy ice expanded outward."<br />
<br />
You say, "The child frowned and scooped up a bit more snow, compacting the snowball to restore it to a lumpy sphere, but after a moment, the snowball once again vibrated angrily and expanded erratically."<br />
<br />
You say, "Undeterred, the child once again scooped up some more snow and compacted the mass, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Ryeka blinks.<br />
<br />
Etasia chuckles.<br />
<br />
Valynn ponders.<br />
<br />
Karthor mutters something into the air about angry snowballs.<br />
<br />
You say, "My initial feeling is something related to the captured star. Which could be related to the Unknown."<br />
<br />
Ryeka exclaims, "Angry snow? That's new!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Hanryu asks, "Persistence or insanity?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Something that is confined and doesn't want to be."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods to Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "The star visions."<br />
<br />
Karthor asks Hanryu, "Both?"<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Etasia takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
You say to Ezerak, "And stars and cold go together."<br />
<br />
Pyppa glances outside a moment.<br />
<br />
Hanryu asks Karthor, "Very thing lines between most of the time eh?"<br />
<br />
You grin at Hanryu.<br />
<br />
Karthor nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say to Hanryu, "I think it starts crossing the line as you get to the point where those spikes might actually go through something."<br />
<br />
Hanryu chuckles.<br />
<br />
Valynn grins at you.<br />
<br />
Hanryu says, "Seems a reasonable place to put the line, yea."<br />
<br />
Allye chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
You say, "Something getting more and more compacted could also relate to some of the behavior of the Unknown before it reached its current point. The light seemed to be drawing inward."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods.<br />
<br />
Kethrai ponders.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Wearing plate gloves is highly recommended while making snowballs."<br />
<br />
Ryeka grins at Gwenddolyn, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
You grin.<br />
<br />
Etasia grins at Gwenddolyn, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Urbaj says, "That's sometimes how I feel casting spells lately - like an ignorant child trying to manipulate and form mana streams, but with unexpected deviations. Tastes, smells, visions. But I keep cluelessly persisting."<br />
<br />
Etasia takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods to Urbaj.<br />
<br />
You say to Urbaj, "That is another possibility, actually."<br />
<br />
You say, "Look at preparing a snowball as casting a spell."<br />
<br />
Urbaj nods.<br />
<br />
Ryeka says, "I've seen a lot of strange stuff with the mana streams lately too."<br />
<br />
Etasia nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Allye nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say, "Just earlier today I had the mana streams suddenly twist and ripple like ribbons of seaweed underwater before snapping back to normal."<br />
<br />
Ryeka blinks.<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Think Mazrian will be have a discussion on that in the near future."<br />
<br />
You nod to Etasia.<br />
<br />
Karthor says, "That sounds familiar. Not nearly as tasty as some o' the other ones."<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "The mana streams."<br />
<br />
Etasia nods.<br />
<br />
Karthor nods to you.<br />
<br />
Ryeka chuckles.<br />
<br />
Etasia chuckles at Karthor.<br />
<br />
Ryeka asks, "Cupcakes with too much icing?"<br />
<br />
Karthor nods to Ryeka.<br />
<br />
Jaelia exclaims, "Mazrian's favorite thing to talk about - cupcakes!"<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Ryeka.<br />
<br />
Ryeka laughs!<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
You say, "The next vision... could also perhaps relate to the Unknown, if it is some sort of vessel. Though whether or not that is the case, it at least seems likely related to the same subject as several other recent visions involving sailors."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
You say, "Waves splashed gently against the hull of the small, single-masted boat, and a man checked the compass briefly before making a minor course adjustment. Pulling several lines, he trimmed the sails, though it seemed more out of habit than any need to do so. The boat steadily though slowly cut through the gentle seas, heeling slightly in the weak beam wind. Scanning the cloudless skies, the man headed below deck to prepare a quick meal of jerky and water."<br />
<br />
You say, "Returning to the helm, the man sighed in boredom. He checked my compass once again, though the boat remained on course. He leaned back and closed my eyes, basking in the warm midday sun."<br />
<br />
You say, "The winds slowed and ceased entirely, and without opening his eyes, the man merely swore as only sailors can, and rubbed his forehead in frustration. The sea was still, the sky empty, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Ryeka blinks.<br />
<br />
Karthor says, "Time to pull out the oars, I s'pose."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods to Karthor.<br />
<br />
Allye grins.<br />
<br />
Etasia giggles at Karthor.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Reminds me of rowing out to that tower."<br />
<br />
You say, "Slow but steady progress is better than none, I suppose. Though he might be in a hurry."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn asks, "Or was it a lighthouse?"<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "The sky was empty... That sounds a bit frightening, although I suppose it could just be referring to clouds if there's a lack of weather to move the boat."<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the whiskey.<br />
<br />
Etasia says to Gwenddolyn, "Tis a lighthouse."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Interesting."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn nods to Etasia.<br />
<br />
Etasia nods to Gwenddolyn.<br />
<br />
You say to Kethrai, "With the midday sun out, it at least doesn't seem to be an ominous vision about a lack of stars."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Maybe it's about that lighthouse."<br />
<br />
You say, "We've had no shortage of those."<br />
<br />
You chuckle.<br />
<br />
Karthor says to Kethrai, "Sounds like a cloud thing. We aleady did the empty sky thing, eh? Got a whole festival named fer it an' everythin'."<br />
<br />
Karthor chuckles.<br />
<br />
You say, "And then the fifth vision... probably isn't related to the Nascent Unknown, but never say never."<br />
<br />
You chuckle.<br />
<br />
Jaelia laughs!<br />
<br />
Ryeka grins, revealing her dimples.<br />
<br />
Etasia grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Kethrai softly says to Karthor, "If you say so, that happened before I was born..."<br />
<br />
You turn a page in your astronomer's journal.<br />
<br />
Karthor nods to Kethrai.<br />
<br />
You say, "I found myself in a featureless clean room. The lighting cast no shadows, and the walls were bare, though a single doorway graced the far wall. The door suddenly opened, and the woman in the wide-brimmed hat quickly stepped into the room, closing the door behind her. Her cataract-clouded eyes looked me over head to toe, and she said, "Didn't mean to be late. Turn around."<br />
<br />
You say, "Skeptically, I turned to see a silver rod extending from the floor, forking until it was approximately eye level. With a flourish, she lit a cigarillo and stepped past me. Inhaling deeply and blowing a series of smoke rings that danced and dissipated around the forks, she nodded in approval."<br />
<br />
You say, ""I admit this one took me by surprise," she said with a chuckle, and rapped her knuckle against one of the tines. The object rang, the tone building, echoing louder and louder. The sound continued to build, the tines began to visibly vibrate, the woman grinned bigger, and the vision faded."<br />
<br />
Ryeka acts puzzled.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Her again."<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Karthor scratches his head.<br />
<br />
You say, "The impression I get, looking back on the visions featuring this woman, is that she has seen a lot of large scale disasters."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Hanryu closes his eyes and fades swiftly into the shadows.<br />
<br />
Etasia gnaws on her lip.<br />
<br />
Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
Etasia gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Or caused them."<br />
<br />
You say, "And in the visions she appears to be sharing her experiences."<br />
<br />
You say, "I'm not sure exactly what this one represents, but I can certainly see how those vibrations continuing to grow stronger could quickly become a problem."<br />
<br />
Ryeka gnaws on her lip.<br />
<br />
Etasia asks, "Would the tines represent a key of types?"<br />
<br />
Etasia gets a tinker's tine from inside her kidskin haversack.<br />
<br />
Etasia taps a tinker's tine that she is holding.<br />
<br />
Etasia puts her tine in her kidskin haversack.<br />
<br />
Etasia asks, "Like that kind of tine?"<br />
<br />
You say, "A tuning fork is what most comes to mind here."<br />
<br />
Karthor asks, "Or maybe that was her casually solvin' whatever unexpected problem arose. A positive spin fer once?"<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "It sounds more like a tuning fork."<br />
<br />
Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Etasia nods.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn asks, "Tuning what?"<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods.<br />
<br />
Drunvalo nods to Kethrai.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Could be anything."<br />
<br />
Valynn quietly asks, "Perhaps it is musical and may affect the Bard guild?"<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana licks her lips.<br />
<br />
Valynn studies the faces around her.<br />
<br />
You say, "A possibility."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
You say, "Bards are certainably able to demonstrate how sound can be dangerous."<br />
<br />
Valynn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Their singing."<br />
<br />
Etasia nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Jaelia rolls her eyes.<br />
<br />
Ryeka says, "I'm thinking I ought to visit Taisgath and Throne City. Those would be logical places for lighthouses."<br />
<br />
Ryeka ponders.<br />
<br />
Valynn quietly asks, "They are the masters of sound, no?"<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "I thought of tethloren island."<br />
<br />
You say, "With some of the things this woman has shown us, though, I start to wonder if maybe some of them are things that could have been. Like the alternate worlds the Timekeepers once showed us."<br />
<br />
Ryeka nods to Gwenddolyn.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Ringing a bell transports you elsewhere."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Maybe it does that."<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Aesry , surely does."<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Oh if ya have not taken the journey, surely bring a picnic basket."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ryeka grins at Etasia, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Etasia grins at Ryeka, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "Hopefully you like to climb."<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the whiskey. Faint notes of smoky oak, honeyed vanilla, and a touch of dried fruits create a harmonious blend that transitions from sharp to mellow, mirroring the gentle repose that one would hope from Eylhaar.<br />
<br />
Ryeka chuckles.<br />
<br />
Etasia grins at Gwenddolyn, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Ryeka says, "I want to check out one of the shops there anyway. No inconvenience."<br />
<br />
You say, "That covers the visions I had to discuss, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to go over them with people. My apologies for the delay on the meeting."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn chuckles.<br />
<br />
Pyppa smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Ryeka smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Etasia smiles at you, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Luna smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Valynn praises you.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn says, "I have some jump jewelry you can borrow."<br />
<br />
Karthor says, "Puzzlin' as usual. Appreciate the sharin' though."<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn winks at Ryeka.<br />
<br />
You say, "The investigation to the Dragon Spine mountains also had to be pushed back a bit, but I am hoping to do it in the near future. It should be posted on the public calendars again soon."<br />
<br />
Ryeka grins at Gwenddolyn, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Valynn quietly says, "Thank you for sharing your visions."<br />
<br />
Elizzibiana nods to you.<br />
<br />
Hanryu says, "Looking forward to it."<br />
<br />
Luna nods.<br />
<br />
Valynn smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Ryeka says, "I also want to make a few stops on the way."<br />
<br />
Allye nods to you.<br />
<br />
Etasia says to you, "Glad to be able to be here this eve fer this one, appreciate your time and efforts always."<br />
<br />
Kethrai bows to you.<br />
<br />
Allye says, "Thank you for pulling these together, Miskton."<br />
<br />
Hanryu shakes your hand.<br />
<br />
Hanryu raises his hand in a quick salute.<br />
<br />
Ryeka smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Gwenddolyn nods at Etasia, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you all for coming!"<br />
<br />
You carefully mark your place and close your astronomer's journal, securing the clasp.<br />

[Eyes of the Thirteen, Chadatru's Shrine]<br />
Walls of jade edged in mahogany line the shrine, creating the feel of a clouded atmosphere. Finely carved from mahogany and possessing startling lifelikeness, lions peer out beyond their posts with an eyeless gaze. Translucent jade forms a platform that extends outward, towards a muted dome, while an archway leads back toward the hallway.<br />
You also see a plump pumpkin-hued kitten, a sleek abyssal black kitten, a slender vela'tohr plant with leaves that shimmer and undulate like liquid emerald, a sooty basalt altar embedded with a shield broken in two and a modest granite altar.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Ezathiel gazes at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Selame, "Please catch me if I do not breathe."<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the doughnut.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"I am careful when I speak on Rutilor because I have a lot of thoughts on his domains of Truth and Justice. I also still have an outstanding vow of service to him. "<br />
<br />
Jaelia looks up and sighs, smiling.<br />
<br />

<br />
Selame winks at Jaelia.<br />
<br />

<br />
"But old and recent events have lent me some comfort to reframe my previous experiences with those who have sworn service in his name."<br />
<br />
Herald of Justice Imroth came through a translucent jade archway.<br />
<br />
Herald of Justice Imroth went across a jade platform.<br />
<br />
Herald of Justice Imroth just arrived.<br />
<br />
Imroth waves.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"When High Priestess Tallis, and servant of Rutilor, created the Inqusition and called upon Zoluren to rise in denfense, many answered against the blight of Lyras. And the Inqusition was just one thing created. As well as the first use of the orbs that protect and lock down this High temple."<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"It was during this time that Zoluren lost Prince Vorclaf. And with that fall, cast a long standing scar upon Zoluren. One I'm not certain has still healed even with all this time"<br />
<br />
Elurora raises her hand in a quick salute.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Selame gasps at Akeiro!<br />
<br />

<br />
"Many decades have come and gone. I am not sure even time will heal this scar - but perhaps something else can grow in its place."<br />
<br />
Imroth snickers at you.<br />
<br />
You grin sheepishly.<br />
<br />
You smile at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"Since then, we have learned that not all who swear service in his name, even those who call themselves the Hounds of Rutilor, may always walk in the light as he would best approve."<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"We have a growing community coming together to better defend this Province, and a growing community that finds its heart in this Province. Or at least often a Home or Gathering place to stay and protect."<br />
<br />

<br />
Selame praises Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />

<br />
Akeiro gives Selame a sharp bite on the shoulder! Hey!<br />
<br />
Betlind grins, revealing her dimples.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"Our own Elurora has begun sit ins to reach out to the Paladin Guild Council regarding many matters. And while many Paladin's serve in the name of Rutilor and Chadatru, we must remember, sometimes paths look a bit different to all."<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"Rutilor stands for Justice and Truth. As an Immortal of the Light, he does not hide in shadows or Darkness. And we are gathering at his altar in his honor for this meeting."<br />
<br />
Elurora shifts her weight.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
"And it is under the banner of Truth and Justice, and defense of our Province of Zoluren and the greater Community, that maybe we can gather in this Light, be it an old light or new light to you."<br />
<br />
Akeiro pulls Selame to him in a tight hug.<br />
<br />
Betlind mumbles a word of general praise.<br />
<br />
Akeiro hums happily to himself.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"And it is before this meeting, at his altar, Rutilor has granted us with a vision of a sword. I believe he gives his blessing to this meeting."<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Jaelia intones:<br />
<br />
"For Zoluren!"<br />
<br />

<br />
You let out a hearty cheer for Jaelia!<br />
<br />
Illiya yells, "For Zoluren!"<br />

<br />

(Jaelia steps back towards the modest granite altar and gives a quick nod.)<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Ah, excellent."<br />
<br />
Kiroto bows.<br />
<br />
Akeiro asks, "That was a prayer?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro scratches his head.<br />
<br />
You ask, "Now, to follow up on some items from last meeting's agenda: Navesi, would you perhaps provide an update on the efforts to combat the colossi that have previously attacked Crossing?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Akeiro, "Mini Sermon, same idea."<br />
<br />
Akeiro quietly says to Selame, "I thought Jaelia just sang weirdly."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Ezathiel chuckles at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Selame giggles at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Akeiro, "More words, same idea."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The Colossi, for those who don't know, are massive constructs made by the custodians of the Plane of Electricity. Two have attacked thus far."<br />
<br />

<br />
Jaelia beams at Navesi!<br />
<br />

<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro nibbles on Selame affectionately.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Maltris whispers something to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Chelinde opens her omnibus almanac.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Selame gazes at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Selame slowly empties her lungs.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "However, we must not rely on such luck. We must assume the leg is not meant to have an opening and will not in future. Therefore, we are going to need to provide our own opening."<br />
<br />
Akeiro kisses Selame. And he doesn't seem to want to stop.<br />
<br />
Selame affectionately nibbles Akeiro's lips.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "My proposal is that we build or commission ballistae in order to shoot the Colossi, hopefully piercing the outer hull and creating a new opening."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel furrows his brow.<br />
<br />
Kiroto takes a seat.<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel ponders.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I've already written to the crown about this, though received no response. I am loyal to His Majesty but we must also prepare on our own."<br />
<br />
Betlind nods.<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Thus, if you know any engineers who could design and build such a weapon, or you can yourself, please speak now."<br />
<br />
Chelinde whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Betlind bows.<br />
<br />
Shield of Starlight Betlind went through a translucent jade archway.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel raises his hand.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The opening is the most straightforward tactic though, because we have seen it work before."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "What about using some method to trip them."<br />
<br />
You giggle.<br />
<br />
You cover your mouth with your hand.<br />
<br />
Navesi raises an eyebrow in Ezathiel's direction.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel blushes a bright red color.<br />
<br />
You ask, "Perhaps a caravan?"<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Elurora asks, "A strong metal rope?"<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "You mean, create some sort of rope trap? Have it walk into them and become tangled?"<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Elurora, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Navesi gives a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says, "Like a cable."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Perhaps send that kitten that fears nothing."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "A catapult?"<br />
<br />
You say, "Ohh."<br />
<br />
Maltris points at a plump pumpkin-hued kitten.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to you.<br />
<br />
Illiya exclaims, "That's all kittens!"<br />
<br />
Shield of Starlight Betlind's group came through a translucent jade archway.<br />
<br />
Illiya carefully lifts the kitten by the scruff of its neck and then tucks it gently into the crook of her arm.<br />
<br />
Betlind beams!<br />
<br />
You grin.<br />
<br />
Illiya gives her cream kitten an affectionate smooch and places it carefully on the ground. It gazes about with wide curious eyes.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Very good thought. We must also build cables."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "To make them easier to target. Harder to hit a moving target."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon says, "Very confusing."<br />
<br />
Betlind nods at Chrysagon, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Illiya smiles at Chrysagon, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon nods to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Dasheek pats Chrysagon on the back.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Maltris, "I think you might also mean Lord Commander General Captain who is very brave for a cat familar."<br />
<br />
Paragon of Virtue Raikage just arrived.<br />
<br />
Raikage wavers into view for a moment.<br />
<br />
Raikage joins Chelinde's group.<br />
<br />
Chelinde giggles.<br />
<br />
Water is quickly puddling on the ground nearby, but two spots in the shape of feet or shoes remain oddly dry.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Although we likely don't want to make them trip within the city walls. They could easily damage our buildings, or fall upon people."<br />
<br />
Belzor scratches his russet lynx.<br />
<br />
You say, "Oh, fair point."<br />
<br />
You shift uncomfortably for a moment.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "But perhaps... for the road to the city?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods.<br />
<br />
Kiroto says, "Tripping them right into an aptly-sized body of water would be quite convenient."<br />
<br />
Kiroto chuckles.<br />
<br />
You nod to Kiroto.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
You say, "Though that is how we troubled the Merelew with that Spider..."<br />
<br />
You gaze off into the distance blankly.<br />
<br />
Chelinde asks Akeiro to join her group, but Akeiro declines.<br />
<br />
Selame angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at you.<br />
<br />
Kiroto raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Chelinde adds Selame to her group.<br />
<br />
Chelinde asks Akeiro to join her group, but Akeiro declines.<br />
<br />
Selame pulls Akeiro towards her!<br />
<br />
Chelinde crooks her finger, motioning Akeiro to come closer.<br />
<br />
Akeiro joins Chelinde's group.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "I was not around when they first showed so was not aware of how large they were. My apologies."<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Naikon just arrived.<br />
<br />
You say, "That was not our fault though. We didn't trip it. I think."<br />
<br />
Akeiro kisses Selame on the nose.<br />
<br />
You nibble your lip thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
Selame trills with soft affection at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I'm reminded that I should describe the Colossi to you -- they are bipedal, walking like a Kaldar does."<br />
<br />
Selame softly says to Akeiro, "Good thing you caught him."<br />
<br />
You grin at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Maltris asks Navesi, "Aren't we all bipedal?"<br />
<br />
Chrysagon nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Elurora giggles.<br />
<br />
Navesi blinks at Maltris.<br />
<br />
You point at a fluffy cream kitten wearing a strawberry creampuff costume with pink sprinkles.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Yes, it was just an example."<br />
<br />
Dasheek chuckles.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Maltris, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Navesi clears her throat.<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Anyway, good ideas. Please send me the names of engineers. We will begin at once constructing the cables and ballistae."<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Navesi!<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Chelinde rolls her eyes.<br />
<br />
Elurora raises her hand.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Belzor suggests that we also attempt ingress via the back. That is a larger target, so I suppose we could try."<br />
<br />
Akeiro grins at Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Elurora.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel glances at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Elurora asks, "Do we know what kind of metal they're made out of?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Titanium, I believe."<br />
<br />
Jaelia gazes intently into her sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel blinks.<br />
<br />
Elurora chews on her lip, looking deep in concentration.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel furrows his brow.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon ponders.<br />
<br />
Betlind ponders.<br />
<br />
Elurora asks, "Do we know anything that eats that? Like...an acid or something?"<br />
<br />
Elurora shifts her weight.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "As to that, I was unable to obtain enough titanium for any kind of experimentation in regards to magnetism."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "Not that flinging acid about is safe either..."<br />
<br />
Elurora gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Elurora, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I am not that skilled in alchemy, I am afraid."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Titanium is actually incredibly rare."<br />
<br />
Elurora blushes, the tips of her ears turning a delicate scarlet hue.<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks Dasheek, "Maybe not on the Plane of Electricity?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "And the Colossi have so far disappeared upon defeat."<br />
<br />
Elurora furrows her brow.<br />
<br />
Akeiro rubs a lemon doughnut on Selame's nose.<br />
<br />
Akeiro affectionately nibbles Selame's nose.<br />
<br />
Akeiro grins mischievously before leaning over to lick Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the doughnut.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "That might be an idea... an expedition to obtain some titanium?"<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Akeiro asks, "Titanium?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro angles his ears forward in curiosity.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Navesi, "I think it would not hurt, if nothing else, we can also scout the area for anything else."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "That sounds like a good idea."<br />
<br />
Selame giggles at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Yes, perhaps we can combine it with a trip to the plane for our experimental purposes."<br />
<br />
Navesi raises an eyebrow in Saragos's direction.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon asks, "Is found but rare?"<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "I wonder if the power of electricity can in some way affect them?"<br />
<br />
You say, "Perhaps including places where the colossi have been seen. Those damaged legs must have left some debris somewhere."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to you, "Unless the damage was also... disappeared into the sky."<br />
<br />
Chrysagon nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi looks at you and shrugs.<br />
<br />
You scrunch your forehead together and furrow your brow.<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Did we also notice that, although they came from outside Crossings, they seemed to start their attacks once in the City itself along Magen road, or are we uncertain? I thought the first time was upon Magen Road not too far from the Empath Guild?"<br />
<br />
Dragon Father Exus came through a translucent jade archway.<br />
<br />
Dragon Father Exus went across a jade platform.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "It's also possible I am wrong about the titanium. I may be an Elementalist, but earth magic is not my strong suit, and I could only make a good educated guess."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And that prior comment, its an aside for later."<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "If I may, I have some proposals for further discussion?"<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "They appeared to leap in over the northeast gate."<br />
<br />
You smile at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "But yes, we should move on now. Thank you for the ideas."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon says, "I miss everything."<br />
<br />
Dasheek pats Chrysagon on the back.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Ballistae, cables, titanium."<br />
<br />
You say, "Please, go ahead, Dasheek."<br />
<br />
Navesi gives a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Raikage taps a curving bloodwood branch that he is holding.<br />
<br />
Dragon Father Exus just arrived.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
Selame takes a bite of the doughnut.<br />
<br />
Betlind whispers something to Elurora.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Elurora looks at Betlind and blushes.<br />
<br />
Betlind smiles at Elurora, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I would like to ask that everyone interested formulate squads, and I'd like to offer to host a general meeting for those squad leaders, and their squads to be introduced in a few months time (ooc: Mid April.)."<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Dasheek!<br />
<br />
Betlind nods emphatically at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "Explain to us what a squad is, and what the duties would be?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Following that, I'd like to see a squad leader meeting shortly afterward in order to hammer out details in regards to rules, and other sensitive topics we've already decided cannot really be addressed in a larger forat."<br />
<br />
Dasheek coughs.<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Responsibilities?"<br />
<br />
Belzor asks, "Perhaps?"<br />
<br />
You say, "We will be discussing the ideas regarding the specifics on how to organize a group of squads during this meeting."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "A squad being a group of friends that want to operate under the ZDF banner. Responsibilities of the Squad Leader being to formulate the command structure, attend leadership meetings, and run events."<br />
<br />
You say, "Including Dasheek's thoughts now, of course."<br />
<br />
Imroth clears his throat.<br />
<br />
Navesi gives Belzor a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "The squad member responsibilities to include participating in the defense of Zoluren."<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I think some people may have missed the last discussion we had at the Zoluren meeting, so this was just building off what Maltris and Dasheek presented last time."<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Betlind grins at Elurora, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Selame snores.<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The concept is that we have a few squads, makeup of the squad is not important at this time, that hold responsibility for a specific mission or or set of mission and sectors of the city that report."<br />
<br />
Selame rubs her nose.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Of course, someone could not be sworn to multiple provinces at once, other than that, I have no issues with anyone's participation.."<br />
<br />
Akeiro casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Akeiro affectionately nibbles Selame's nose.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Yeah.. All that can be determined at a later date. We just need to get this thing off the ground."<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "I will refrain from questioning until I learn more."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Back to the collective leadership team."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Selame gets some spicy flame-glazed lamb from inside her seordmaor skull.<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro gives Selame a good pinch!<br />
<br />
Selame offers Akeiro some spicy flame-glazed lamb.<br />
<br />
Elurora giggles at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Elurora covers her mouth with her hand.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
Akeiro accepts Selame's flame-glazed lamb.<br />
<br />
Betlind hums to herself.<br />
<br />
Kiroto ponders.<br />
<br />
Akeiro looks at Selame and drools.<br />
<br />
Selame wiggles over and snuggles up against Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Selame gets some fragrant coconut rice from inside her seordmaor skull.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a sip of his mead.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Let me see if I understand."<br />
<br />
Saragos asks, "You want people to form their own squads?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Precisely."<br />
<br />
A pained expression crosses Saragos's face.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "There will also be a few...let's say minor requirements to becoming a squad leader."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Selame offers Akeiro some fragrant coconut rice.<br />
<br />
Illiya asks Saragos, "You don't think that will work?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Yes. Citizenship in Zoluren, and not a Necromancer being the key points."<br />
<br />
Akeiro quietly asks Maltris, "Told Rifkinn about the height requirement yet?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Akeiro guzzles down some of his mead and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.<br />
<br />
Akeiro guzzles down some of his mead and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.<br />
<br />
Selame bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.<br />
<br />
Akeiro guzzles down some of his mead and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Akeiro accepts Selame's coconut rice.<br />
<br />
Chelinde asks Akeiro, "That he has to wear toe bows?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Selame snickers at Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods at Chelinde, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Chelinde, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Maltris grins at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Saragos asks, "illya I have my doubts. The real issue is what do you do when things start going down and a good chunk of your squad isn't there? Or most of the squad is, but the leader isn't?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Also, seems like that's going to just lead people into siloing with folks they know, rather than learning to work together."<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Navesi gazes thoughtfully at Saragos.<br />
<br />
Selame leans back against Akeiro with a loving smile.<br />
<br />
Kiroto nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Akeiro says, "That's true, I find supervisory duties difficult when my minions are slacking."<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "What we always do. Group into a giant group and run around destroying the bad things. We can figure that out once a basic structure is formed."<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon says, "Makes sense."<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "I would form a squad. But I would like mine to be open to necromancers. They don't need to be present at all meetings and I will take responsibility for them, but we need to move on from the inquisition."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Triage will also be a concern that I propose we address within the next few meetings."<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I do like the idea of working with those we don't normally work with."<br />
<br />
Chelinde waves dismissively.<br />
<br />
Betlind nods at Navesi, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi squints at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Saragos asks, "I guess a related question is... how is people forming groups on their own and just working with their friends any different from what already happens?"<br />
<br />
Selame angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "The goal is to first establish some order within the squads, membership to a specific squad is not a hard and fast requirement. There are also positives to having a squad working together, learning their strenghts and weaknesses."<br />
<br />
Akeiro pulls Selame to him in a tight hug.<br />
<br />
Selame wraps her arms lovingly around Akeiro, snuggling close.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "Secondly, it gives others the opportunity to lead and learn leadership in crisis."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Though the large single group always tends to prevail, I would like the opportunity to train our forces for something more if the need ever arose. Even just having two groups would help in some scenarios, I feel."<br />
<br />
Selame taps Akeiro's nose.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Selame nods at Maltris, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
You nod to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Imagine being able to have a solid defense both in the courtyard and here in the temple at the same time, for example."<br />
<br />
Akeiro kisses Selame. And he doesn't seem to want to stop.<br />
<br />
You say, "That seemed to work well during the battle with Krenze."<br />
<br />
Betlind nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims, "Wonderful example AND recent!"<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "The problem is how to decide the leadaership while remaining inclusive, and I think the squads idea is supposed to help with that because anyone can declare themselves a squad leader as long as they have people willing to follow."<br />
<br />
Betlind beams!<br />
<br />
You grin at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "Thirdly, the goal is to provide a more robust counter than one large group that is on a complete seek and destroy mission without the ability to learn how to fight, how to defend, during smaller incursions so when the big fight comes, we are prepared."<br />
<br />
Selame kisses Akeiro on the nose.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The goal is to protect and defend the province from all angles, not just one."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "One of the issues, as you pointed out early on, is controlling the chaos. I thin this is one way to do just that. Namely... Don't. Let the chaos be the strength of the "milita".."<br />
<br />
Saragos asks, "Let me try to dig this down further. So, I like the idea of smaller squads. But, ok, let's say Navesi and I and Anuril and Kethrai make a squad. How is what you're proposing any different from the four of us just already working with our friends and doing that? What's different here?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "You have the larger organization to lean on, and draw resources from."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "You have established triage to fall back to, and reinforcements when you need them."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "You have fun meetings to attend every now and then."<br />
<br />
Dasheek winks at Saragos.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say, "There were some ideas floated of training events and such, as well."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I look forward to hearing further discussion."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "If you choose to run around with your personal squad, you are more than welcome, the goal is to create a force, within the province, that are working as a collective."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Sorry, I gotta hop."<br />
<br />
Dasheek gently kisses Illiya on the cheek.<br />
<br />
Selame winks at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Akeiro pulls Selame to him in a tight hug.<br />
<br />
Imroth waves to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Jaelia lets out a hearty cheer for Dasheek!<br />
<br />
Illiya hugs Dasheek, who wraps his arms around Illiya with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I suppose it also gives some structure, to know who to look for during invasions in order to team up."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Let me be clear, I'm not trying to just rain on your parade here. This just isn't making sense to me. Triage already forms naturally in the Empath guild."<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Thanks for coming, folks. I appreciate you all, and I look forward to hearing the discussion. If you'd like me to do the thing (ooc set up the meeting), let me know."<br />
<br />
You say, "Thank you, Dasheek."<br />
<br />
Dasheek gets a Zoluren standard from inside an effervescent eddy of honey-hued light captured by a sungold frame.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek waves a Zoluren standard around.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "For Zoluren."<br />
<br />
Imroth snaps to attention and hails Dasheek with a crisp hand salute.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Dasheek, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Dasheek hugs Illiya, who wraps her arms around Dasheek with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Dasheek just left.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "For Zoluren."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And the Empath Guild is a horrible Triage spot very often when it gets even slightly serious, but no one will MOVE unless we have other groups willing to help make it happen."<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Navesi, "I don't understand how this is giving any structure. It seems like it's just putting a new name on what already happens."<br />
<br />
Kiroto shrugs.<br />
<br />
You nod at Jaelia, in complete agreement with her views.<br />
<br />
Betlind ponders.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Maybe slightly more organized."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "You aren't raining. The idea is to get new sets of ideas in instead of this has always worked, let's always be the same hammer."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "If I can help explain Dash's idea, the idea is that the squad leaders would form a leadership group, and they would rotate command and help make decisions."<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Imroth, "Significantly more organized."<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Saragos, "Because you know to look for your group, and the others know to call on you. That is something more than we have now, at least."<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Navesi, "Is it? I already look for my friends."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Maybe other people don't have friends to go to already."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Let me put an idea out instead."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "There will undoubtedly be people who want to be part of the militia but not as a leader, and they can join one of the established squad leaders."<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I don't, not specifically. If I run into them I group up but I don't go finding them first thing."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "You all don't like this idea, I'll shut up."<br />
<br />
Saragos grins.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Illiya asks Saragos, "Well, do you have an alternative idea?"<br />
<br />
Maltris asks, "]sara Seemed to work with the Watch, roles, responsibilites, and tasks, why not now in a larger, more provincial role?"<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Betlind asks Saragos, "I think you pointed out something important there when you said that the groups form and move naturally. I think this might be more about having a specific areas, like your group would be responsible for the west gate, or something?"<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "I think squads is a good idea. Leadership is a good idea."<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "So less natural, and more... specific? I'unno."<br />
<br />
Betlind ponders.<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "The size of the squads could be larger if that helps? And if you don't have enough people to make your own group you would just join one of the established squads."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "What if, instead of pre-built squads, we have the skeleton of squads. So, what does a squad really need, ideally? You need a leader, an Empath, and at least one big damage dealer. It would be nice if you had a Cleric, and your leader was a Paladin, but that's not required."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel softly says, "Maybe it would help to define what the components of a squad would be...ie two empaths, finger waggler, pally, bard, etc etc,."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "Well, the concept of the squad is always going to have a best case scenario, but it doesn't have to be."<br />
<br />
Selame nods at Maltris, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The goal will be that the squad leader is assigned a role, that squad operates inside that mission set until the mission, job, focus is complete and then moves on to the next."<br />
<br />
Selame says, "I honestly think it would be best if you all trained for the worst case scenarios, cause the best case scenarios never land in your lap."<br />
<br />
Imroth chuckles.<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods at Selame, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "We can cover more area and deal more rapidly with invaders versus that of one enormouus group creating havoc only in one location."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "So what if you have a few squad cores. Rather than pre-building a squad, we train some squad leaders. When trouble hits, squad leaders hit up the pools of Empaths around, and then once they've got one, calls people to form up on them. This gets the people who aren't friends with enough folk to be in a pre-built squad a clear opportunity to join up, and it's more flexible than having 6 squads, only half of which might be there at any time."<br />
<br />
Selame nods to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods.<br />
<br />
Illiya asks, "One question would be, how are the squad leaders determined?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel ponders.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "People could practice working with different squad leaders too, which makes us more tolerant of people going down, and better able to work together as a whole."<br />
<br />
Selame says, "To Maltris' point, training with a defined squad helps learn to work off of peoples strengths and weaknesses making you a stronger squad."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Step one. Be a paladin."<br />
<br />
Belzor says to Saragos, "And learning different styles of combat."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You grin at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Selame.<br />
<br />
Illiya beams at Betlind!<br />
<br />
Elurora giggles at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Illiya stands near Betlind.<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "...That's all the steps, actually."<br />
<br />
Elurora asks Betlind, "Done, what's step two?"<br />
<br />
Betlind rubs her nose.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Well.. Zoluren Defense should defend. I am going to fight some ogres."<br />
<br />
Betlind looks at Elurora and coughs.<br />
<br />
Elurora leans on Betlind.<br />
<br />
Saragos asks Betlind, "Do we even have more than a couple of Paladins operating in Zoluren?"<br />
<br />
Imroth raises his hand in a quick salute.<br />
<br />
Saragos grins at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Illiya babbles something incoherent at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "I think you are trying to put the horse before the caravan. First we have to find dedicated citizens that want to be a squad leader, we can then move forward."<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims, "Nope!"<br />
<br />
Imroth points at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Sir Imroth, Dame Betlind, Dame Elurora. It's more than I hoped for actually."<br />
<br />
You say, "We have a few."<br />
<br />
Illiya nods at Navesi, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Saragos, "Time to fit you for some plate, sounds like."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "I'm an Ilithic citizen though."<br />
<br />
Betlind nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Raikage yawns expansively.<br />
<br />
Navesi blinks at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Elurora, "Oh, my apologies."<br />
<br />
Elurora smiles at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Paladin shouldn't be a squad leader requirement unless we're swimming in capable Paladins. Groups fare better if they're well-lead."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "Not that I am unwilling to help, of course."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "I love having a Paladin lead a group for the abilities they can bring for group combat, it isn't a requirement."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "And we might just not have enough Paladins around."<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "How many groups are we thinking?"<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "I disagree, a Paladin can take orders from anyone, and being the leader of the group doesn't mean you have to lead the movement of the group."<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "Who here is interested in being a squad leader?"<br />
<br />
Imroth raises his hand.<br />
<br />
Illiya lays her hand on Imroth's arm.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
You beam at Imroth!<br />
<br />
Betlind raises her hand.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Imroth, "Hang tight with that comment please."<br />
<br />
You beam at Betlind!<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I think Dash may be. But also it doesn't necessarily have to be people who are present at this meeting."<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "What are the requirements of leadership?"<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Navesi, "I heard something earlier about it being a requirement and I thought it best to mention."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Elurora.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "Alas, I cannot be a squad leader since I am a citizen of Ilithi."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Just the desire mostly."<br />
<br />
Chrysagon says, "An ilithi irregular."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "The initial discussion was for leadership to be a citizen of Zoluren and not a necromancer."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at Chrysagon.<br />
<br />
Kiroto says, "You first need to determine at least a rough overall size of all available folks, then consider how many groups based on the most important defensive positions and such ... I'd imagine."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Akeiro snuggles up to Selame and cradles her in his arms.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />
<br />
You nod to Kiroto.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks Illiya, "But also there's a requirement to run events, yes?"<br />
<br />
Ears tilted forward, Selame curls her tail around Akeiro's waist loosely.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The purpose of this meeting wasn't to discuss the tactics, makeup of squads or how we are planning to combat an invasion."<br />
<br />
Akeiro smiles at Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro touches Selame on the wrist with two fingers, feeling for a pulse hopefully.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Ok."<br />
<br />
Selame shivers briefly as wounds and traces of battle abruptly vanish from her body.<br />
<br />
Illiya says to Navesi, "I think the idea was that there would be leadership meetings for the squad leaders and the command leadership itself would rotate among the squad leaders."<br />
<br />
Selame shivers.<br />
<br />
Akeiro laughs happily.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "This is all still in the discussion phase though, so any ideas and concerns are welcome."<br />
<br />
Imroth asks Maltris, "Oh no, it's another meeting where we plan on discussing things in the future?"<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The concept was to introduce an idea and those interest in a formal role, total official squads are set to be six to eight if we can get the squad leaders, and move forward with those decisions at a later meeting."<br />
<br />
Exus laughs!<br />
<br />
Exus grins at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Grin imro."<br />
<br />
Maltris grins at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Selame says to Imroth, "Now is the time where you learn how to doodle."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Meetings to plan meetings are some of the best meetings."<br />
<br />
Elurora giggles at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Imroth yawns expansively.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Hopefully the decision of the structure can be made in this meeting."<br />
<br />
Elurora whispers something to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Elurora leans on Betlind.<br />
<br />
Betlind snickers at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Imroth asks, "So yes or no on squads?"<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The goal was to explain the concept and get those interested in stepping up and leading a squad."<br />
<br />
Betlind nods to Elurora.<br />
<br />
Elurora looks at Betlind, obviously trying not to grin.<br />
<br />
Imroth exclaims, "Anyone against squad formations say so!"<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Well, Saragos has concerns, clearly."<br />
<br />
Selame leans over and scratches Akeiro's back.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Elurora grins at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Elurora waggles her fingers mystically at the lynx. The lynx isn't too impressed, really.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles at Elurora.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Personally I'd like to hear him out a little more."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I think Saragos and Maltris/Dash are pretty close in idea, its just a few fine points to hammer out."<br />
<br />
Akeiro places his hands on Selame's shoulders and directs a soft, rumbling purr in her direction as Akeiro presses his forehead against Selame's.<br />
<br />
You nod at Jaelia, in complete agreement with her views.<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Illiya asks, "The question I would ask Saragos with the squad core idea is how are the squad leaders determined?"<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "Yes, how would we form up in invasions and the like?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "I think he was looking for volunteers."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
You notice as a russet lynx looks upward negligently.<br />
<br />
Illiya asks, "So just anyone who wants to declare themselves a squad leader can be one?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "To be leaders."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "It would have to be volunteers."<br />
<br />
Belzor pets his russet lynx.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Akeiro says to Illiya, "Maybe you elect squad leaders at random, then let people challenge the leader to a duel for leadership."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Imroth chuckles at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The only time I was a part of something formal, I was in command of the lower circled folks, and we would move during the invasions to the areas we could help best. I knew it was my job to call out on the gweth what was happening and for those people to form up to me."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Honestly, whatever folk can agree on should be how the leaders are determined. You want a certain amount of competence, but anyone can learn how to lead a group."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Forming up for invasions would be simple, each squad is assigned to a predetermined location, they form up there and move toward their objectives."<br />
<br />
Selame softly says to Akeiro, "That sounds like a Therengian wedding."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Akeiro giggles at Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro laughs happily.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "So there's a higher level commander who assigns positions and missions?"<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The core of squad leaders."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "A group of leaders."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Voting, or trusting Dasheek and Maltris and company to decide... whichever. If people are competent at leading, I'm happy to join in. What's more important, in my opinion, is that people get a chance to practice with different leaders. Let's say you've never met me, you don't know if I'm a good leader. We run some practice missions, though, and you've worked under me, you can feel ok jumping in a group."<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "What I definitely do know is that you can't force people. You try that, and you'll be running squads of one leader and no followers."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "In the original idea that Maltris and Dasheek discussed, the squad leaders have leadership meetings and the actual command rotates among them."<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods at Selame, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Certainly can't force Zoluren people."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Definitely should be fluid. People can move squads."<br />
<br />
Akeiro giggles at Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />

Akeiro takes a bite of the lamb.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Kiroto says, "Adaptability is always the key to survival, after all."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I do like the flexibility of no set squads though."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel opens his otter's den.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gets a fuzzy brown sea otter from inside his otter's den.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gets a hot spiced sausage roll from inside his bone-white lunchbox.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "No one will be forced, no idea where that even came up as a thought."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel offers a hot spiced sausage roll to the otter. It nuzzles his fingers before accepting it with a chuckling purr of satisfaction. With methodical efficiency it quickly devours the roll then licks its chops with obvious relish.<br />
<br />
After a few moments the otter burps somewhat loudly.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gets an iced coffee from inside his bone-white lunchbox.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel offers an iced coffee to the otter. It nuzzles his fingers before accepting it with a chuckling purr of satisfaction. With methodical efficiency it proceeds to guzzle down the coffee then rapidly shreds the container into tiny pieces.<br />
<br />
After a few moments the otter burps somewhat loudly.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "So in a given invasion, just for example, Dasheek might be the overall leader? He then commands, say, Sir Imroth's squad to the west gate, and Dame Betlind's to the Empath guild, something like that?"<br />
<br />
Ezathiel puts his otter in his otter's den.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "That's what I was thinking."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Right, and in theory Dasheek is also leading his own squad."<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The goal is to better organize, have multiple points of attack and defense, with a core group of dedicated leaders who WANT to lead and want to defend their province."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "He should not be if he is going to be paying attention to what all the squads are doing."<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Akeiro quietly asks Illiya, "Do you say in theory because you will be in the squad too?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Akeiro angles his ears forward, gazing curiously at Illiya.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods at Navesi, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
You nod to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Illiya babbles something incoherent at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "The overall leader's ordinary squad should go with someone else's for that invasion."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "I'd follow Illiya as a squad leader."<br />
<br />
Elurora flashes a quick grin at Illiya.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "If I may suggest, the overall defensive commander should not be involved in direct fighting."<br />
<br />
Illiya beams at Elurora!<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Belzor.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Belzor, "That is already in the concept."<br />
<br />
Belzor says to Maltris, "My apologies if I spoke out of turn."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks Saragos, "Is there a way to work this idea with yours? Yours is to allow for more fluid squads, so anyone could join with any leader, is that it?"<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The idea is that the leadership decide on a commander and that person direct the flow of the battle."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods at Selame, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Navesi, "What we are also trying to accomplish is that we don't have a squad that turns into a company and just running rampant all over the place causing more chaos."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Are most of you familiar with the private channel setting on the gweths that allow for passworded communication to any and all who share that password? It allows for people to PROJECT a thought and all who know the password can hear it."<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Raikage shakes his head at Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Would make for safe communication of triage locations."<br />
<br />
Chelinde gazes sadly at Raikage.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
You nod to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Navesi, "I think all that is fine. My problem is with defining explicit squads, and then the plan falling apart when half those people might not be present for any given invasion."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods.<br />
<br />
Selame laughs at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Ezathiel, "Already in the concept."<br />
<br />
You say, "That's a good thought."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Saragos, "Good point."<br />
<br />
Akeiro laughs happily.<br />
<br />
Akeiro snuggles up to Selame and cradles her in his arms.<br />
<br />
Elurora furrows her brow.<br />
<br />
Selame cradles Akeiro in her arms, their lips meeting in a tender kiss.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "I also think people forming their own squads leaves out those who might not have the connections to be asked into one."<br />
<br />
Belzor says to Saragos, "Primary and collateral duties."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "I think "joining" a squad can be pretty informal. If you want to be with a different group on a different day that is fine."<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "So instead of pre-defined squads, you think we should have squad leaders who make calls for join-ups during the actual invasion moment?"<br />
<br />
Selame nods at Akeiro, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Apologies, but I'm afraid I have to run off for the time being."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Saragos, "You cannot plan for everything, you have to also have trust, also, if it isn't your cup of tea, you are welcome to sit out the first group of squad leaders as we press forward."<br />
<br />
Lowering her head in reverence, Betlind takes a step backward and bends into a formal bow.<br />
<br />
You nod to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Illiya hugs Betlind, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "Like, if I were a squad leader, I'd gweth that I need an Empath and a heavy hitter?"<br />
<br />
Elurora hugs Betlind, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
You say to Betlind, "Thank you for joining us."<br />
<br />
Imroth snaps to attention and hails Betlind with a crisp hand salute.<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims to you, "Thank you for hosting this and keeping Zoluren safe!"<br />
<br />
You perk up your ears happily as you gaze at Betlind.<br />
<br />
Betlind hugs you, and you give her a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Betlind hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Betlind hugs Elurora, who wraps her arms around Betlind with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Betlind!<br />
<br />
You hug Betlind who gives you a smile in return. A faint scent of forge fires clings to her skin.<br />
<br />
Jaelia hugs Betlind, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods politely to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Betlind bows to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Betlind bows to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Betlind bows to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods at Selame, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Maltris waves to Betlind.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Betlind, "Glad we have you."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says to Navesi, "That seems more doable."<br />
<br />
Illiya leans over to give Betlind a friendly smooch.<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims, "Take care, everyone!"<br />
<br />
Betlind just hugged Chrysagon.<br />
<br />
Betlind waves.<br />
<br />
Shield of Starlight Betlind went through a translucent jade archway.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel waves.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Navesi, "Right. Or work on a private gweth channel, get one of the empaths who's signed up to be an official empath. Then you put out the call on the private gweth channel and let Dasheek, or whoever's in overall command know that you're combat-ready once you get enough people."<br />
<br />
Selame nods at Chelinde, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks Maltris, "Does that make sense, a more fluid definition of the squad?"<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "It seems that many of you have missed the concept of operations, which is okay."<br />
<br />
You ask, "It seems we are all in agreement on the idea of coordinated squad leaders under a single commander. Could that be our starting point and then as we see how large our pool of interested defenders are, we can determine the specifics of how squad members are assigned?"<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "I don't want to run this meeting into the ground and take another 3 anlas...but here are the basics."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Some people were not present for the initial presentation of the concept in the last meeting."<br />
<br />
Exus points at you.<br />
<br />
Elurora nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Elurora points at herself.<br />
<br />
Exus nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Elurora flashes a quick grin.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Yes, apologies if I missed it."<br />
<br />
Selame laughs at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Belzor says, "And for that, I will refrain from commenting."<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "A set number of dedicated squads that report back to the commander for update status and what areas need forces to combat invasions or whateverf."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel ponders.<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Perfect squad makeup is of course a Paladin, empath and ranged, kinetic or magical, and melee fighters."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "But it doesn't always have to be perfect."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The squad leader doesn't have to be the paladin, who should be providing movement for the group."<br />
<br />
Chelinde folds her arms across her chest.<br />
<br />
Raikage rummages about his person, looking for something.<br />
<br />
Selame taps Akeiro's nose.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Predesignated triage and resurrection locations."<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Squads covering certain sectors of the city and moving toward a smaller battle space as the fight condences."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Chrysagon nods.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "One squad of scouts, who will provide feedback to the commander on trouble locations, so the commander can move those squads to where they are needed most."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
You nod to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Selame trills with soft affection at Akeiro.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Training will be those that we experience on the regular out the Northeast and west gates as well as those in Dirge."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel gazes thoughtfully at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "We give the opportunity for squads and their leaders to build rapport and trust."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Squad basic makeup doesn't mean it cannot be fluid and have others join, we welcome and encourage those alliances."<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Akeiro asks Chelinde, "We're not going in the basic squad right?"<br />
<br />
Chelinde says to Akeiro, "I'm never basic."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "We also would see that if a squad was short a specific capability, we can reach out to perhaps those not aligned to a specific squad and ask they augment one that is need."<br />
<br />
Ezathiel rummages about his person, looking for something.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Akeiro, "You are still very basic, Akeiro."<br />
<br />
Selame gasps at Jaelia!<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Exus gazes at a sleek abyssal black kitten.<br />
<br />
Chelinde says to Akeiro, "We're going blood and glitter."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "You build trust, you build compentancy and you build the ability to be as fluid and dynamic as we best can."<br />
<br />
Exus licks his lips.<br />
<br />
Selame looks at Chelinde and sighs.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Chelinde whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Selame.<br />
<br />
Chelinde winks at Selame.<br />
<br />
Belzor ponders.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "The goal is to overcome any invasion or threat, we want to be able to do that with some organization and giving more people the chance to feel they are contributing to something they may not normally be given the chance to do."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "And with that, I will yield."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods.<br />
<br />
You nod to Maltris.<br />
<br />
You say, "Thank you, Maltris."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Selame praises Maltris.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel praises Maltris.<br />
<br />
Navesi asks, "So what's the next step? We sign up to be squad leaders now, then what?"<br />
<br />
Chelinde smiles at Maltris, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Chelinde applauds.<br />
<br />
Jaelia looks at Maltris and applauds!<br />
<br />
Maltris grins at you.<br />
<br />
You ask, "Before we wrap up, lets quickly see, who all here would be interested in joining as squad leaders?"<br />
<br />
Imroth raises his hand.<br />
<br />
Belzor casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Potentially, depending on the requirements for running events."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I think Dash probably."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Yes, we would like to see how many are interested in being a squad leader, with one caveat."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "You must be a Zoluren citizen to be a squad leader."<br />
<br />
Imroth says, "Betlind also expressed interest."<br />
<br />
You say, "Betlind also mentioned she was interested prior to needing to leave."<br />
<br />
You nod to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Illiya nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
Belzor smiles.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Regrettably I am not skilled enough to be one and am a citizen of Ilithi. I would however offer my services as an empath if wanted and I am available."<br />
<br />
Belzor grins slowly.<br />
<br />
You beam at Ezathiel!<br />
<br />
Ezathiel smiles.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Ezathiel!<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
You say, "I will include all of your interest in my notes, and we can follow up next time."<br />
<br />
Akeiro nods at Selame, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Imroth nods to you.<br />
<br />
Akeiro takes a bite of the rice.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel nods to you.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Ezathiel, "Friend, skill has nothing to do with it, we welcome anyone willing to learn and be part of the team, the citizenship is a must, please understand."<br />
<br />
You say, "Thank you, everyone. Let's wrap this up, given the time. This was a good discussion, and all of your perspectives and input are appreciated."<br />
<br />
Imroth nods at Maltris, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "Well I would hate to be a liability."<br />
<br />
Belzor nods.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles.<br />
<br />
You say, "I hope that the next time we meet, the White Gladiolus Society may bow out of the hosting duties and it will be under the banner of a united Zoluren Defense."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I led my first squad at around 40th circle, if I recall. Circle doesn't have to be a barrier."<br />
<br />
You beam!<br />
<br />
Ezathiel pleasantly says, "A pleasure everyone."<br />
<br />
You grin at Navesi.<br />
<br />
Imroth exclaims to Ezathiel, "If you are interested you should be a leader!"<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Ezathiel, "Also, you can still be part of a squad with your current citizenship, and perhaps we can convince you to join us at a later time."<br />
<br />
Maltris smiles at Ezathiel.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to you, "I'm willing to lead a squad, but there are probably going to be more willing to lead than there are people to make up squads, so I'm willing to follow too."<br />
<br />
You nod at Maltris, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
Ezathiel chuckles at Imroth.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You beam at Saragos!<br />
<br />
You nod to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You say, "Of course."<br />
<br />

[~* Twin apple tree branches abloom with pale pink petals embrace the words "Guess Who? by [[Eruwyn]] Cholares" *~]<br />
<br />
A swirling field of starlight and the glooming blue-purple of the night surrounds a Human woman who stands at its center, the gaze of her prismatic amethyst eyes seeming to pierce outward from the page. Her long glossy hair, artfully enhanced with ink infused with crystal, appears to almost be reflecting the glittering colors around her. Crowning her head is a circlet of silver leaves, their delicate forms almost at odds with the strength of the figure below. In one hand she holds a beastly greathammer at the ready, while strapped upon her other arm is a disc-shaped kertig aegis. Engraved upon the breastplate of her polished plate armor is a majestic butterfly, its wings outstretched toward her shoulders in radiant silvery hues.<br />

[~* Dear [[Ahneya]] *~]<br />
<br />
Welcome to Dear Ahneya where I, Ahneya, answer your questions and requests for life advice. You may ask, "Ahneya, why would you do this?" Well, I feel compelled to help those less fortunate and wise.<br />
You may be asking, "What credentials do you have, Ahneya?" Well have you heard of Teiro, or Empress Therithien, or Arhat? What do they all have in common? They did not ask for advice from Ahneya and they are all dead. Do you want to end up like them, even worse, making inane jokes about drinking habits over the gweths or being outwitted by a goblin?<br />
So do yourself a favor and send in questions for Dear Ahneya to Berries & Ink and have a chance to be not just alive, but a better alive you.<br />

Uthmor the Giant: Giants are known for their size and strength. This month makes no exception. It may be a good time to visit the Wyvern Trials and claim a victory or two. Of course, staying home that night is a surefire way to avoid a loss.<br />
Arhat the Fire Lion: This month brings all the warm and fuzzy for the Fire Lions. It's time to approach that person you wanted to ask out or make up with a friend you've been on the outs with.<br />
Moliko the Balance: A fabulous offer comes your way this month, but beware it tipping the scales in the offerer's favor. If a deal seems too good to be true, it might be wise to walk away.<br />

[~* Ode to an Unlonchai Bucket by [[Ysindre]] *~]<br />
<br />
Oh Master of the Bucket, Fearsome Foe of Frost<br />
They told me not to shake you, And now I pay the cost<br />
I paid them no heed, I shook you with glee<br />
Now I'm trapped inside, As you laugh at me<br />
My bones and teeth rattle, My whole body's aching<br />
I scream and I pray, But you keep on shaking<br />
"Now how does that feel?", I hear you demand<br />
Then the bucket's in flight, Until I painfully land<br />
With a *crack* it bursts open, Spills me out on the ground<br />
Where I quietly lay sobbing, Then quickly glance 'round<br />
Thank The Gods I'm alone, None have witnessed my shame<br />
And I pray that the demon, Has returned whence he came<br />

Pinch edges of pastry up and around filling to create a pocket.<br />

Brush exposed edges of pastry with heavy cream. Sprinkle sugar evenly over pastries.<br />
Bake until pastry is golden brown. Drizzle with additional honey.<br />

[~* A stack of delectable-looking tarts are drawn piled against the words "Sweet and Savory by [[Shaoimhe]] Bramblebairn" *~]<br />
<br />
Tart enthusiast. Tumbler. ShortStack. Bard. Nemesis. And now...journalist. These are my titles. My *name* is Shaoimhe - that's "shee-vah" - but you can call me SheShe. It's just easier, and more fun! I will be your...host? Yes, host...for this monthly column, which I have decided to call Sweet and Savory! Like tarts, get it? Get it? You get it. Anyway! I am going to fill this column each month with slices of life in the form of poetry or stories or puns or tart recipes or even some self bografital tales. (I should probably invest in an editor that knows how to spell some of these weirder words...) It's going to be quite an adventure! So welcome to Month One! Let's begin with me!<br />
<br />
I grew up outside of Riverhaven, where my dad whittled and my mom baked and my older siblings took after them which meant I was free to tumble around the fields all day and eat tarts all night. When I found the Bard guild later on I was a bit worried because I could play fiddle a little bit but I certainly couldn't sing...turns out they like acrobats, too! So I was set. Since then I've conducted circuses and performed for events and made so many friends and it's been great so far! Do you ever look around and just know you're in the right place? I hope you do, but if not you should definitely try moving slightly to the left or the right and maybe that will help? Also, eat a tart. That will definitely help. (Trust me, us Olvi are experts on the healing properties of tarts.) Anyway, I'm really excited to be here and I hope you enjoy what I have to share! Be good people!<br />

[~* A winding dashed line spells "[[Dantia]]'s Destinations" and ends in a bright red X *~]<br />
<br />
Welcome to Dantia's Destinations! Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a curious newcomer, Dantia's Destinations promises to be your guide to uncovering interesting areas around Elanthia.<br />
In this first issue, we visit the World's End Apartments along the northern end of Muspar'i. Wander through this forgotten relic marred by neglect and decay, where cluttered hallways and abandoned rooms echo with the lives of the previous residents. But exercise caution! Amidst the squalor dwell troublesome moneygrubbers who are known for trying to scam visitors of their money. Beware their cries of "I would have given you ten percent! I swear!" For those with a taste for exploration, see if you can find the hidden unicorn.<br />
<br />
[~* The Lazy Lion and the Clever Fox by [[Nawain]] Augtaire *~]<br />
<br />
An aged Lion, teeth nearly gone and claws too dull to hunt like he once did, devised a cunning plan to lure easy meals to his doorstep by feigning illness.<br />
He took care to let all his neighbors know about it, coughing and moaning until the mountainside rang with his misery. As his neighbors came to offer their sympathy, he snapped them up one by one!<br />
The Fox came too, but cautiously. Standing safely back from the cave mouth, he inquired after the Lion's health. The Lion replied that he was ill indeed, and asked the Fox to step closer, so that he would not have to raise his voice.<br />
Wise Mister Fox bowed low but stayed far back. "I should be glad to, but I see that there are many footprints leading into your cave and none coming out. Your house must be quite full already! I'll leave you to your party."<br />
<br />
[~* Krenze's Sonnet by [[Tirost]] Armagna *~]<br />
<br />
Upon a throne of slag cruel Krenze sat<br />
And taunted heroes brave from every land<br />
To feast on fire, death and choking ash,<br />
Or serve a goblin tyrant's mad demands.<br />
<br />
The army vast that 'neath his banner spread,<br />
Fiery bulls, shamans, imps, and chieftains fierce,<br />
That folk of the Redeemer's Realms did dread,<br />
And through all civil lands brought wails and tears,<br />
<br />
Yet Hope, like the clear-cold, bubbling spring<br />
That from Nature's store gives life to all<br />
Rose up against the dreadful goblin king<br />
As came warriors bold who heard her call.<br />
<br />
From the soaring height of power slipped,<br />
Krenze boils now beneath the Fist.<br />

Lavacano Gator reflected on his life decisions. He had left the deep forests of the Crossing, the endless trees and damp earth, yearning for adventure beyond his mundane existence. He had packed his meager belongings: a rusty dagger, a tattered cloak, and dreams as vast as the open sky -- determined to carve his name into the annals of legend.<br />
But now high atop the Greater Fist, Lavacano watched in stunned silence as his leader, the mighty Krenze, lay crumpled and still. Disillusionment gnawed at him. Was this truly all there was to goblin life? Hack and slash, fight and conquer, until some "hero" inevitably brought your reign crashing down? Why couldn't he be the one venturing to faraway lands filled with legend and, most importantly, cake? Maybe, just maybe, there was another way.<br />
<br />
[~* Framed by tiny clusters of rosebuds tinged in the diluted hues of a sunrise are the words "Strong and Mighty by Langen Esturi [[Nilme]] Iondu'il" *~]<br />
<br />
I came to the city with nowhere to go, and few possessions in hand.<br />
My long journey led me, right where I should be, on the precipice of something grand.<br />
I needed to find someplace I could learn, and talk to others with interests like mine.<br />
I looked for friendships to build, and I found the Bard guild, where we'd bond over music and wine.<br />
Alone, I am strong and can take on the world, working hard to achieve all my goals.<br />
But with my guildmates beside me, I'm right where I should be, one part of a wonderful whole.<br />
<br />
We teach and share knowledge, joining our skills, so that together there's nothing we lack.<br />
Alone we are strong, but together, we're mighty, working as one, letting no one fall back.<br />
In every guild, each member speaks, but together they speak with one voice.<br />
You simply cannot go wrong, when you're where you belong - not a family by blood, but by choice.<br />
Alone you are strong and can take on the world, working hard to achieve all your goals.<br />
Still, your guildmates stand with you. They'll help and support you. You're part of a wonderful whole.<br />
<br />
Watch out for each other, use kindness to guide you, leave no guildmate's need unfulfilled.<br />
Alone, you are strong, but together, you're mighty - embraced by Oneness as part of your guild.<br />

==Event Description==<br />
<p>'''A Fistful of Snacks'''<br /><br />
Sat, January 27, 5pm<br /><br />
The Greater Fist<br /><br />
A single parchment is nailed to the Northeast Gate of the Crossing. The script is in three different handwritings, each progressively worse such that it becomes a smear. The parchment has small dark red stains that spatter the page like a fine mist.</p><br />
<br />
<p>"Krenze wants to invite you to see my lava fort -- no don't write that you idiot, just write 'humble home'. Join me as I hold a bake-off atop the Greater Fist. Make your favorite volcano and dragon-themed snacks and join my army of goblins toasting marshm -- wait, no. There is no army. It's just you and your buddy Krenze and my Hyena, and I want to show you my nice glassblowing I've been working on. Lots of vases. Very colorful! And then we'll make cakes and snacks. We'll have an explosively deadly good time. This is not a trap.</p><br />
<br />
<p>Your buddy,<br /><br />
Krenze"</p><br />
<br />
==Volcano Fight Log==<br />
<pre>[03:51:08 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Morning, all. Be advised that Goblin Warshaman Krenze has built himself some sort of fortification at the top of the Greater Fist. Starting in about an hour there is going to be some maneuvering in and around the area and...ah...a picnic, or something like that."<br />
<br />
[03:51:31 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Picnic? I thought it was a bake sale."<br />
<br />
[03:51:39 PM] [General] Your mind hears Voranos thinking, "Selling Krenze dolls, you can love them, pull off the limbs, jump on them, throw them against a wall or feed them to the nearest dragon!"<br />
<br />
[03:51:39 PM] [General] Your mind hears Harsh thinking, "like a nest? Krenze built a nest? laid an egg in it too i bet"<br />
<br />
[03:51:45 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "If you are not looking to be a participant, consider a travel exclusion for that region for the duration."<br />
<br />
[03:51:54 PM] [General] Your mind hears Crobin thinking, "He promised me a viewing of his glassblowing skills"<br />
<br />
[03:52:23 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Is it a bake sale? Well, I never."<br />
<br />
[03:52:47 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Hopefully someone collected enough s'lai scouts for the cookies."<br />
<br />
[03:53:00 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "I'm heating the oven for that!"<br />
<br />
[03:53:05 PM] >think Krenze, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the Greater Fist is Therengian territory. You would be wise to move any remaining army of yours out, or you will be met with force. Again.<br />
[03:53:05 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Krenze, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the Greater Fist is Therengian territory. You would be wise to move any remaining army of yours out, or you will be met with force. Again."<br />
<br />
[03:53:16 PM] [General] Your mind hears Crobin thinking, "I feel with where your fort is...the oven is always preheated?"<br />
<br />
[03:53:22 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Be advised that all that stuff I just mentioned is going to be going down, so that you can plan to participate or steer clear."<br />
<br />
[03:53:41 PM] [General] Your mind hears Golameth thinking, "Therengia territory and you are letting a regiment of goblins just sit here?"<br />
<br />
[03:53:43 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "So, you're asking me to move my army... off the volcano into Therengia? Just making sure I'm following."<br />
<br />
[03:54:23 PM] [General] Your mind hears Voranos thinking, "Technically she's saying it's already in Threngia"<br />
<br />
[03:54:39 PM] [General] Your mind hears Kethrai thinking, "I'd really rather he not move them into Zoluren, if it's all the same."<br />
<br />
[03:54:44 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "So where's she suggesting I move them?"<br />
<br />
[03:54:59 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Perhaps to the interior of the volcano?"<br />
<br />
[03:55:09 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Just throwing ideas out there."<br />
<br />
[03:55:09 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "That wasn't the instruction."<br />
<br />
[03:55:37 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Move any remaining army out. So, into... what's the name of the town right down there? Darkstone, or something?"<br />
<br />
[03:56:09 PM] [General] Your mind hears Voranos thinking, "Goblin lands may be a good idea? We should consult the 14th immortal, you do not want to anger her."<br />
<br />
[03:56:13 PM] [General] Your mind hears Harsh thinking, "oh Dirge? Im fond of that shaman and his blocks, please leave it be"<br />
<br />
[03:56:14 PM] [General] Your mind hears Kethrai thinking, "Terrific idea Mazrian. I'm pretty sure the law says no province can claim lava as its territory. It's up for grabs."<br />
<br />
[03:56:20 PM] [General] Your mind hears Schimmelpeninck thinking, "yer thinkin' 'bout Crossing"<br />
<br />
[03:56:27 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Oh. Or maybe, to make sure they can't come back easily, we should put a river between the army and the volcano. There's one right over there, and a nice little town on the docks."<br />
<br />
[03:56:33 PM] >think Where you move them is your problem, not mine. But Therengia will not sit idly by with a force amassing.<br />
[03:56:33 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Where you move them is your problem, not mine. But Therengia will not sit idly by with a force amassing."<br />
<br />
[03:56:34 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jessalyne thinking, "Aim it north, please, Zoluren didn't ask for this."<br />
<br />
[03:56:39 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "That would be outside of Therengia, Krenze. But likely a bad outcome for everyone. I hear the Turmar House Guard has no sense of humor about trespassers."<br />
<br />
[03:56:40 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "A haven. On a river. I bet it's got a real nice name."<br />
<br />
[03:56:55 PM] [General] Your mind hears Schimmelpeninck thinking, "no"<br />
<br />
[03:57:06 PM] [General] Your mind hears Golameth thinking, "but Theren is sitting idly by.....there is no one here, but me, cutting this regiment in half.....so far"<br />
<br />
[03:57:36 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jessalyne thinking, "It's been a nice show though."<br />
<br />
[03:57:41 PM] [General] Your mind hears Crobin thinking, "Gola did you start a party before it was suppose to be started?"<br />
<br />
[03:57:48 PM] >think We dispatched several companies recently. I'm disappointed to hear he has moved forces back in again, and before his allotted showtime.<br />
[03:57:48 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "We dispatched several companies recently. I'm disappointed to hear he has moved forces back in again, and before his allotted showtime."<br />
<br />
[03:57:50 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "A nice show? Is there a dance? Maybe some songs?"<br />
<br />
[03:57:55 PM] [General] Your mind hears Somniumvisum thinking, "Are you cutting it in twain, though?"<br />
<br />
[03:58:34 PM] [General] Your mind hears Golameth thinking, "oh so you got the small guys and left the bigguns alone....huh got it..."<br />
<br />
[03:59:16 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Remember to hydrate so you don't cramp your spear arm. I'll join you up there shortly."<br />
<br />
[04:00:17 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jessalyne thinking, "Oh, now the Therengians are attacking Golameth. This seems to keep happening doesn't it?"<br />
<br />
[04:00:33 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "It does! Want popcorn?"<br />
<br />
[04:00:39 PM] [General] Your mind hears Dartwin thinking, "Yes please"<br />
<br />
[04:00:43 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jessalyne thinking, "I would yes."<br />
<br />
[04:00:58 PM] [General] Your mind hears Voranos thinking, "I'll never turn down popcorn! I'll bring volcano cake!"<br />
<br />
[04:01:09 PM] [General] Your mind hears Voranos thinking, "Where are we meeting Krenze?"<br />
<br />
[04:01:13 PM] [General] Your mind hears Crobin thinking, "I have heard of lava cake...but not volcano cake"<br />
<br />
[04:01:28 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Where else? The volcano!"<br />
<br />
[04:01:36 PM] You run east.<br />
[04:01:36 PM] [Sicle Grove, Low Mound]<br />
[04:01:36 PM] Smoke drifts in on hot gusts of air smelling of sulphur and burnt wood. Steadily-falling ash blankets the area in a constant attempt to bury the landscape and a small shack in its grey embrace. A faint footpath leads upwards.<br />
[04:01:36 PM] You also see the goblin regiment, a lava golem, a tiny peach amethyst, a medium moss-green bloodstone, a deeply gouged driftwood casket, a tiny carmine jade, a tiny chestnut piece of amber, a cracked driftwood strongbox, a small nickel nugget, a huge nickel nugget, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite, a fire sprite and some junk.<br />
[04:01:36 PM] Also here: Sir Madigan and Philosopher Jessalyne.<br />
[04:01:36 PM] Obvious paths: west.<br />
<br />
<begin combat><br />
<br />
[04:01:42 PM] >join madi<br />
[04:01:42 PM] You join Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[04:01:43 PM] Mage Slayer Golameth just arrived.<br />
<br />
[04:02:03 PM] Madigan says, "Gola says I am hot headed for throwing a few punches at him."<br />
<br />
[04:02:05 PM] Madigan grunts at you.<br />
<br />
[04:02:06 PM] >laugh<br />
[04:02:06 PM] You laugh!<br />
<br />
[04:02:10 PM] Golameth says to you, "You need to take the old one back to bed."<br />
<br />
[04:02:12 PM] >say He is hard to tell apart from the golems.<br />
[04:02:12 PM] You say, "He is hard to tell apart from the golems."<br />
<br />
[04:02:19 PM] You notice Jessalyne trying to remain hidden while speaking.<br />
<br />
[04:02:19 PM] Jessalyne mildly says, "I am just here to watch, so I would politely ask that I not be murdered for showing my face."<br />
<br />
[04:02:38 PM] Madigan says, "If you are a necromancer, you need to leave Therengia."<br />
<br />
[04:02:43 PM] Jessalyne says, "I am a meat popsicle."<br />
<br />
[04:02:44 PM] Members of your group:<br />
[04:02:44 PM] You: Healthy.<br />
[04:02:44 PM] Madigan (Leader): Healthy.<br />
[04:02:44 PM] There are 2 members in your group.<br />
<br />
[04:02:46 PM] >look jessa<br />
[04:02:46 PM] You see Philosopher Jessalyne Anlorma, Heir to the Font, a Human.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] Jessalyne has an expressive oval face with high cheekbones and arched brows, faint crow's feet at the corners of striking viridian eyes, a strong, wide nose and full upturned lips framed by tiny dimples. Her lustrous, lightly peppered smoke-black hair is waist-length and loosely curled, and is worn in an artfully tousled style threaded with some scrimshawed ivory hairbeads inlaid with blood rubies. She has smooth dark brown skin and a plump but shapely and well-proportioned figure.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] She is statuesque for a Human.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] She appears to be in her prime.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] Her forearm has a tattoo of a curved knife shaded in the brilliant hues of a sunrise.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] She is in good shape.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] She is holding a slice of Greater Fist lava cake served with rich vanilla ice cream in her right hand and a bag of white cheddar popcorn tossed with honey-glazed cashews in her left.<br />
[04:02:46 PM] She is wearing a pair of forged iron earrings shaped in a slightly twisted spiral, a dark grey coat fashioned from thick lamb's wool, a cream and grey damask corset with black silk cord lacing, a simple muslin shirt with gathered sleeves, a polished iron ring with an eye-shaped setting holding a dawnbreak diamond, a Musparan silk belt sash with a sleek diacan shotel and a black leather whip hanging from it, some tight-fitting black shadesatin leggings and some knee-high polished black leather boots with low heels.<br />
<br />
[04:02:50 PM] Madigan grunts at Jessalyne.<br />
<br />
[04:02:54 PM] A gust of wind blows an ash-laden cloud of gas into your face, burning your throat like fire. A terrible pain spreads as a coughing spasm wracks your body.<br />
<br />
[04:03:04 PM] say Has there been any blazing rain?<br />
[04:03:04 PM] You ask, "Has there been any blazing rain?"<br />

<br />

[04:03:14 PM] You nod.<br />
<br />
[04:03:17 PM] Golameth says, "Yes there has been."<br />
<br />
[04:03:19 PM] Jessalyne says, "Plenty."<br />
<br />
[04:03:28 PM] Golameth says, "And lovely WM was here killing the goblins i was peeling off."<br />
<br />
[04:03:46 PM] You notice Jessalyne trying to remain hidden while speaking.<br />
[04:03:46 PM] Jessalyne says, "I suppose I am being ejected from the event again though... well, someone please thank Krenze for the popcorn."<br />
<br />
[04:03:50 PM] Philosopher Jessalyne saunters west.<br />
<br />
[04:04:05 PM] Madigan says, "Of course. All necromancers are excluded from Therengia either on their own or feet first."<br />
<br />
[04:04:06 PM] Madigan smiles jess<br />
<br />
[04:04:08 PM] Indomitable Fortress Voranos just arrived.<br />
<br />
[04:04:12 PM] Voranos says, "Howdy."<br />
<br />
[04:04:17 PM] >smile vora<br />
[04:04:17 PM] You smile at Voranos.<br />
<br />
[04:04:18 PM] Madigan says, "Hey Voranos."<br />
<br />
[04:04:22 PM] Madigan says, "Watch the fire rain."<br />
<br />
[04:04:39 PM] Voranos asks, "Shall I put up AC?"<br />
<br />
[04:04:42 PM] Golameth says to Madigan, "You need to watch who you are swinging at."<br />
<br />
[04:04:50 PM] Madigan grunts at Golameth.<br />
<br />
[04:04:56 PM] Madigan says, "I like swinging at you though."<br />
<br />
[04:05:00 PM] >grin<br />
[04:05:01 PM] You grin.<br />
<br />
[04:05:03 PM] Golameth says, "It was Rhori's firerain."<br />
<br />
[04:05:39 PM] Voranos asks, "Want me rushing the regiment?"<br />
<br />
[04:05:45 PM] >look regi<br />
[04:05:46 PM] After careful observation of the goblin regiment, you are certain there are 663 armed soldiers that are currently guarding the area past the footpath, letting no intruder pass through. You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit. The soldiers are rested, appear to be in perfect fighting condition, and are fully supplied. You notice the regiment is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Major in command.<br />
<br />
[04:05:48 PM] Madigan says to Voranos, "GOLEM not GOLA...just a heads up sir."<br />
<br />
[04:05:48 PM] Golameth says, "Have fire rain going please."<br />
<br />
[04:05:55 PM] Madigan says, "Hit that bugger."<br />
<br />
[04:05:56 PM] >say If you do not engage it every about 90-120 seconds, it will reinforce itself.<br />
[04:05:56 PM] You say, "If you do not engage it every about 90-120 seconds, it will reinforce itself."<br />
<br />
[04:06:09 PM] Golameth cranks his arm back, then heaves the narrow-headed spear towards the goblin regiment with all his might. The spear sails high in the air, before catching a a soldier in the head. He shudders uncontrollably, before suddenly going still.<br />
[04:06:09 PM] A group of the enemy breaks off from the main regiment!<br />
<br />
[04:07:23 PM] >say No blazing rain today at least.<br />
[04:07:23 PM] You say, "No blazing rain today at least."<br />
<br />
[04:08:00 PM] Madigan says, "650 of those little goblins left."<br />

<br />
[04:08:34 PM] Madigan says, "Doing great."<br />
<br />
[04:08:38 PM] Madigan says, "Gola started the party early."<br />
<br />
[04:08:46 PM] Mazrian says, "And then ran off, I see."<br />
<br />
[04:08:55 PM] Mazrian assesses his combat situation.<br />
<br />
[04:09:13 PM] Mazrian says, "Well, no matter. Plenty for all of us."<br />
<br />
[04:09:35 PM] Mazrian charge towards the goblin regiment!<br />
[04:09:35 PM] Mazrian plows headlong into the goblin regiment, but their strong formation resists him.<br />
<br />
[04:09:47 PM] Mazrian cranks his arm back, then heaves the electric javelin towards the goblin regiment with all his might. The javelin sails high in the air, before catching a a soldier in the neck. The body part is nearly ripped in two pieces.<br />
<br />
[04:10:12 PM] Mage Slayer Golameth just arrived.<br />
<br />
[04:10:15 PM] Golameth says, "It started at 1000."<br />

You notice the company is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Captain in command.<br />

<br />
[04:44:01 PM] >look company<br />
[04:44:01 PM] After careful observation of the goblin company, you are certain there are 316 armed soldiers that are currently guarding the area past the footpath, letting no intruder pass through.

[04:46:22 PM] This tranquil corner of the Green has a small bower of entwined modwyn vines, laden with tempting, grape-like clusters.

[04:48:00 PM] Also here: Bastion of Life Karthor, Sir Madigan, Mazrian, Sky Knight Kaldean, Sister Seef and Observer Amailia.<br />
[04:48:00 PM] Obvious paths: north, west, northwest.<br />
<br />

<br />

[04:48:30 PM] Sir Madigan's group went through a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light.<br />
[04:48:30 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[04:48:30 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[04:48:30 PM] You also see a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light.<br />

[04:48:32 PM] You peer southwest and see ...<br />
[04:48:32 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[04:48:32 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[04:48:32 PM] You also see a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky and an obsidian sphere.<br />
[04:48:32 PM] Obvious paths: northeast.<br />
<br />
[04:48:33 PM] Mazrian came through a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light.<br />

[04:48:47 PM] Arumis says, "Magic fails in that area."<br />
<br />
[04:48:48 PM] Mazrian nods.<br />
<br />
[04:48:52 PM] Madigan says, "Let's spell up."<br />
<br />
[04:48:54 PM] Karthor says, "That's not ideal."<br />
<br />
[04:48:56 PM] Mazrian asks, "All relatively safe here?"<br />
<br />
[04:48:59 PM] Arumis nods to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
[04:49:05 PM] Madigan designates Mazrian as the new leader of the group.<br />
<br />
[04:49:10 PM] Mazrian nods to Madigan.<br />
<br />
[04:49:10 PM] Madigan says, "I am going to drop a banner."<br />
<br />
[04:49:10 PM] Arumis says, "This area has been clear as long as I've been posted as watch."<br />
<br />
[04:49:14 PM] Madigan says, "Be right back."<br />
<br />
[04:49:20 PM] [Personal] Your mind hears Etasia thinking, "<to you> well now i am with Malorna and on way to crossing"<br />
<br />
[04:49:27 PM] A sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light collapses in on itself.<br />
<br />
[04:49:35 PM] Mazrian asks, "What if the entrance to the fortress is half way down?"<br />
<br />
[04:49:36 PM] Mazrian sighs.<br />
<br />
[04:49:42 PM] Mazrian says, "Ah, no chance of that."<br />
<br />
[04:49:44 PM] Karthor asks, "Down's easier'n up?"<br />
<br />
[04:49:44 PM] Arumis says, "Then we gate back down."<br />
<br />
[04:49:46 PM] Arumis smiles.<br />
<br />
[04:49:46 PM] Karthor looks at Mazrian and shrugs.<br />
<br />
[04:49:47 PM] Madigan says, "Well...no place to put a banner except here."<br />
<br />
[04:49:48 PM] In a blazing fountain of red-gold sparks, a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light blazes into life.<br />
<br />
[04:50:06 PM] Madigan asks, "Can I move back here if I go SW?"<br />
<br />
[04:50:24 PM] On the tracks nearby, a cart just arrived, traveling at a brisk pace.<br />
<br />
[04:50:25 PM] Madigan nods to Arumis.<br />
<br />
[04:50:26 PM] Mazrian says, "I should think so. Ware the pyroplastic cloud."<br />
<br />
[04:50:29 PM] A cart on the nearby tracks leaves the area, traveling at a brisk pace.<br />
<br />

<br />
[04:51:20 PM] Madigan drops a mug of Dragon Shield coffee.<br />

[04:51:39 PM] Karthor snaps to attention and hails Etasia with a crisp hand salute.<br />

<br />
[04:52:05 PM] Etasia asks, "East?"<br />
<br />
[04:52:08 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Gates are available from Crossing Town Green Southeast to the top of the Fist."<br />
<br />
[04:52:10 PM] Mazrian nods at Madigan, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
[04:52:10 PM] Arumis joins Madigan's group.<br />

[04:53:55 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Betlind.<br />
[04:53:55 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Betlind's injuries.<br />
[04:53:55 PM] Betlind's injuries include...<br />
[04:53:55 PM] Wounds to the HEAD:<br />
[04:53:55 PM] Fresh Internal: slightly tender -- insignificant<br />

<br />
[04:54:12 PM] >peer e<br />
[04:54:12 PM] You peer east and see ...<br />
[04:54:12 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[04:54:12 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[04:54:12 PM] You also see a ghostly white banner.<br />
[04:54:12 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
<br />
[04:54:25 PM] From above, Krenze gestures. A pyroclastic ash cloud begins to form above you!<br />
<br />
[04:54:33 PM] Betlind says, "Uhoh."<br />
<br />
[04:54:36 PM] Mazrian says, "Ah, well, there we are."<br />
<br />
[04:54:40 PM] Madigan says, "And, here we are."<br />
<br />
[04:54:40 PM] Allye gazes up at the sky.<br />
<br />
[04:54:42 PM] Arumis lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[04:54:42 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[04:54:46 PM] >say Arumis move<br />

<br />
[04:55:05 PM] Mazrian grabs Arumis's arm and drags him east with him.<br />

<br />
[04:55:17 PM] >look<br />
[04:55:17 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[04:55:17 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[04:55:17 PM] You also see a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a mug of Dragon Shield coffee and a black panther (sitting).<br />
[04:55:17 PM] Also here: a calmed Chronicler Arumis, a calmed Mazrian, Haxen, Shield of Starlight Betlind, Observer Amailia, Stellar Statistician Urbaj, Sir Madigan, War Wizard Etasia, Blunt Traumatizer Allye and Bastion of Life Karthor.<br />

[04:55:32 PM] You say, "I'm fine."<br />
<br />
[04:55:35 PM] Mazrian says, "Dantia, don't avoid."<br />
<br />
[04:55:36 PM] Etasia says, "Arumis move to next room or ye will die and come rigth back."<br />
<br />
[04:55:37 PM] >e<br />
[04:55:37 PM] There's way to much lava that way. You'd better start heading down not up!<br />
<br />
[04:55:39 PM] Mazrian says, "Please."<br />
<br />
[04:55:40 PM] Madigan says, "I am going to keep the group together if I can."<br />
<br />
[04:55:40 PM] >avoid all<br />

<br />
[04:55:40 PM] Mazrian makes a grunting noise.<br />
<br />

<br />
[04:55:51 PM] Etasia says, "Dantia move."<br />
<br />
[04:55:51 PM] Karthor asks, "It doesn't seem strange to anyone else that draggin' somethin' is easerin' just....walkin'?"<br />
<br />
[04:55:51 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Thanks for the tip."<br />
<br />
[04:55:52 PM] Karthor chuckles.<br />
<br />
[04:55:55 PM] >whisper Maz Good to go<br />

<br />
[04:56:20 PM] Madigan says, "Engage the company."<br />
<br />
[04:56:21 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jessalyne thinking, "Please do not open a portal in the middle of the city that an invading army can walk into. You are surely not actually doing this."<br />

[04:57:54 PM] From atop the lava fortress, a heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock at Amailia.<br />
[04:57:54 PM] The large rock slams into her, crushing her body with its force.<br />
[04:57:54 PM] * Amailia was just struck down at Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track! <br />
[04:57:54 PM] * Amailia is slain before your eyes!<br />

[04:58:00 PM] You grab Etasia's arm and drag her east with you . . .<br />
[04:58:00 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[04:58:00 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[04:58:00 PM] You also see a ghostly white banner.<br />

[04:58:03 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[04:58:03 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[04:58:03 PM] You also see the goblin company, a faceless watchsoul, a pyroclastic ash cloud, a spotted cream and gold owl, a razor, a pile of rocks, a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light, a lava golem, a lava drake (dead), a goblin berserker (dead), a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman (dead), a lava drake, a goblin bowman, a lava golem (dead), a lava drake (stunned), a goblin bowman, a goblin warrior (dead), a lava drake, a new lava golem (prone), a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a black panther and some junk.<br />

<br />
[04:59:46 PM] An audible crack resounds from the Greater Fist, followed by first a rumble and then audible roar as a stream of glowing ash tears into the air! A stream of brilliant magma arcs upward, accompanied by a massive ash trail that darkens the sky above the volcano, blackening the space from one horizon to the other. Reflective off of the pyroclastic cloud, an eerie red glow hangs above Dirge, lingering like an eerie reminder not seen since the destruction of Sicle Grove. The caldera of the cinder cone floods with magma.<br />
<br />
[04:59:48 PM] [General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "This is shocking. Unfortunately for you...you will die this day."<br />

[04:59:53 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth.

[05:00:45 PM] Allye grabs Elore's arm and drags her east with her.<br />
<br />
[05:00:47 PM] The brilliant golden glow that fills the Greater Fist fades to a dull orange. Atop the volcano, obsidian rock appears to twist upward to form a single massive spire that towers over the ridge. The pyroclastic ash cloud lingers over the eruption, thickening the air with a choking weight that drifts over two provinces like a heavy snow.<br />
<br />
[05:00:47 PM] [General] Your mind hears Krenze thinking, "Hey, guys. I think the oven's ready. Welcome to Krenze's baking and pottery and other oven-related things adventure that is totally not a trap. We'll make clay and cookies and brownies and cakes and vases and stuff."<br />

[05:03:47 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:03:47 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder.

[05:03:55 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:03:55 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth.

[05:04:56 PM] After careful observation of the goblin unit, you are certain there are 147 armed soldiers that are currently arrayed in a tight defensive formation. You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit.

You notice the unit is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Lieutenant in command.<br />

[05:08:33 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:08:33 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:08:33 PM] You also see an ebony shrew bead, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a mug of strongly-brewed dark roast coffee, a slender tip bolt and a ghostly white banner.<br />

[05:08:36 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:08:36 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[05:08:36 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin archer, a spotted cream and gold owl (flying), an arrow, the goblin unit, an arrow, a massive oravir nugget, a veteran veteran golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem (prone), a new lava golem (prone), a goblin bowman (dead), a fist-sized rock, a faceless watchsoul (calmed), a pink-eared white piglet, a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a pyroclastic ash cloud, a black panther (sitting), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pile of rocks and a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky.<br />

[05:10:08 PM] After careful observation of the goblin unit, you are certain there are 87 armed soldiers that are currently arrayed in a tight defensive formation. You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit. The soldiers are slightly battle weary, appear to be in perfect fighting condition, and are fully supplied. You notice the unit is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Lieutenant in command.<br />

[05:12:41 PM] >touch Anu<br />
[05:12:41 PM] You touch Anuril with a confident grace.<br />
[05:12:41 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Anuril.<br />
[05:12:41 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Anuril's injuries.<br />

[05:12:54 PM] The large rock slams into him, crushing his torso. You believe the ballista has its aim centered on Anuril, and he will not survive the next strike.<br />

[05:14:22 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:14:22 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:14:22 PM] You also see a goblet, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a ghostly white banner, a lava golem (calmed) and some slender tip bolts.<br />

[05:14:30 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:14:30 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[05:14:30 PM] You also see a slender tip bolt, a goblin warrior (stunned), a new lava golem (prone), a slender tip bolt, a spotted cream and gold owl (flying), the goblin squad, a tiny moss-green spinel, a tiny scarlet ruby, a medium amber andalusite, a small banded mint green aquamarine, a small turquoise, a lava golem, a faceless watchsoul (calmed), a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a pink-eared white piglet, a black panther (sitting), a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pile of rocks and a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky.<br />

<br />
[05:14:49 PM] [General] Your mind hears Kaldean thinking, "Looks clear from the Green. As expected, the defenders here were more than adequate for the few that snuck by."<br />
<br />
[05:14:50 PM] >touch shuy<br />
[05:14:50 PM] You touch Shuya with a confident grace.<br />
[05:14:50 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Shuya.<br />

<br />
[05:14:55 PM] >look squad<br />
[05:14:55 PM] After careful observation of the goblin squad, you are certain there are 34 armed soldiers that are currently arrayed in a tight defensive formation. You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit. The soldiers are rested, appear to be in perfect fighting condition, and are fully supplied. You notice the squad is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Sergeant in command.<br />

[05:18:24 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:18:24 PM] You also see a lava golem (calmed), a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky and a ghostly white banner.<br />

[05:18:28 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:18:28 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[05:18:28 PM] You also see a pyroclastic ash cloud, a small cerulean quartz, a medium banded carmine beryl, a gold coin, some silver coins, some copper coins, a large cerise andalusite, a brown paper-wrapped package, a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a large olive chrysoprase, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin shaman, a scavenger giant, a black panther, an arrow, some blued steel icicles, an ebony lion bead, a lava golem, a goblin bowman (prone), a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior (prone), a lava drake, an apple, an apple, an apple, some waermodi stones, a tiny azure garnet, an embroidery needle, a small banded mint green aquamarine, a spotted cream and gold owl (flying), a slender tip bolt, a slender tip bolt, a tiny moss-green spinel, a tiny scarlet ruby, a medium amber andalusite, a small turquoise, a pink-eared white piglet, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pile of rocks, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky and some junk.<br />

<br />
[05:19:59 PM] Seydin just arrived, dragging an arrow with him.<br />
<br />
[05:20:00 PM] [General] Your mind hears Rifkinn thinking, "Would there be a brave soul who would be willing to scout around Crossing and reporting of the location of any invaders?"<br />
<br />
[05:20:00 PM] >drag package east<br />

[05:23:00 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:23:00 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage.

[05:23:24 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:23:24 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />

<br />
[05:23:42 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Seydin say, "Thanks, Dantia."<br />

[05:24:24 PM] You feel the transfer beginning as a cold stillness settles in the center of your being and you steel yourself for the impending explosion of pain.<br />
<br />
[05:24:25 PM] As Harsh intones a quiet prayer to Damaris, his hands begin to glow faintly silver. He extends a glowing hand towards the body of Seydin.<br />
[05:24:25 PM] The soft red glow around Seydin's body fades away.<br />
[05:24:25 PM] Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Seydin, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Seydin blinks dazedly, wobbling on his feet.<br />
<br />
[05:24:26 PM] Shuya praises Harsh.<br />

[05:24:28 PM] Seydin is suffering from a loss of half his vitality (50%).<br />
[05:24:28 PM] (Seydin has 50% vitality remaining.)<br />
[05:24:28 PM] He is somewhat fatigued.<br />

<br />
[05:24:33 PM] Shuya flamboyantly sings in a bass voice:<br />
[05:24:33 PM] Feast your eyes! And show no surprise, for what your eyes surmise are not lies!<br />
[05:24:33 PM] Before you what stands? A myth? No, a man!<br />
[05:24:33 PM] Hardest head in all the lands, hoarding boxes as if he had a million hands!<br />
[05:24:33 PM] You know him, you love him, you'll use him as a shield!<br />
[05:24:33 PM] To know him is to accept your heart will eventually yield!<br />
[05:24:33 PM] It's Seydin!<br />

<br />
[05:24:43 PM] >get card from shad<br />
[05:24:44 PM] You get a debossed heavyweight calling card with slightly singed corners from inside your encompassing shadows.<br />

<br />
[05:24:45 PM] >drop card<br />
[05:24:45 PM] You drop a debossed heavyweight calling card with slightly singed corners.<br />
<br />
[05:24:46 PM] Harsh just dragged an ebony lion bead with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[05:24:46 PM] Seydin says, "Unfortunate."<br />
<br />
[05:24:50 PM] >drag card west<br />
[05:24:50 PM] You grab the calling card and drag it west with you . . .<br />
[05:24:50 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:24:50 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:24:50 PM] You also see a lava golem (calmed), a pink-eared white piglet, some boar-tusk arrows, a medium taupe onyx, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a ghostly white banner, an arrow and a veteran lava golem (calmed).<br />
[05:24:50 PM] Also here: a calmed Beach Bum Lycidylia and the body of a calmed Heart Tender Kethrai (prone).<br />
[05:24:50 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
[05:24:50 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[05:24:51 PM] Lycidylia says, "Keth is healed."<br />
<br />
[05:24:56 PM] >drag keth east<br />
[05:24:56 PM] You grab Kethrai's body and drag it east with you . . .<br />
[05:24:56 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:24:56 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[05:24:56 PM] You also see a lava golem (calmed), a goblet, a cloud of silver-grey mist, a slender tip bolt, a mug of strongly-brewed dark roast coffee and a ghostly white banner.<br />
[05:24:56 PM] Also here: the body of a calmed Heart Tender Kethrai (prone), a calmed Stalwart Seydin, a calmed Shuya and a calmed Observer Amailia.<br />
[05:24:56 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
[05:24:56 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[05:24:57 PM] Shuya groans.<br />
<br />
[05:25:01 PM] Harsh just arrived, dragging an ebony lion bead with him.<br />
<br />
[05:25:01 PM] Shuya rubs Seydin gently.<br />
<br />
[05:25:05 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Kethrai ask, "Or is here triage?"<br />
<br />
[05:25:05 PM] >nod harsh<br />
[05:25:06 PM] You nod to Harsh.<br />
<br />

[05:25:15 PM] You grab the dark roast coffee and drag it west with you . . .<br />
[05:25:15 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:25:15 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:25:15 PM] You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist, a debossed heavyweight calling card with slightly singed corners, a lava golem (calmed), a pink-eared white piglet, some boar-tusk arrows, a medium taupe onyx, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a ghostly white banner and a veteran lava golem (calmed).<br />
[05:25:15 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />

[05:25:21 PM] You grab the dark roast coffee and drag it west with you . . .<br />
[05:25:21 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:25:21 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[05:25:21 PM] You also see an arrow, a short sword, a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a spotted cream and gold owl (flying), a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a black panther (sitting), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pile of rocks, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a small sea-green citrine, a Guildleader Willowbrook card, a brown paper-wrapped package, a small yellow pearl, a small yellow-orange citrine, an embroidery needle, a small clear iolite, a tiny red-orange opal, a slender tip bolt, a lava golem (dead), an enormous fiery fissure, a dense unnatural fog, a medium shield, a war hammer, a new lava golem (dead), an apple, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a medium grey kunzite, a lava golem (dead), a lava golem (prone), a goblin shaman (dead), a goblin berserker (stunned), a medium yellow-green alexandrite, a tiny lilac amethyst, a goblin shaman (sleeping), a lava golem, a plain ironwood box and some junk.<br />

[05:25:21 PM] Obvious paths: obscured by a thick fog<br />
[05:25:21 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[05:25:21 PM] Mazrian says, "He'll hop the gate if it's available."<br />
<br />
[05:25:22 PM] Madigan lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[05:25:22 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[05:25:26 PM] >join madi<br />
[05:25:26 PM] You join Madigan's group.<br />

[05:25:30 PM] Madigan designates you as the new leader of the group.<br />
<br />
[05:25:32 PM] * Kuudo was just struck down at Wicked Burrow Mine, The Depths Beyond! <br />
<br />
[05:25:34 PM] Madigan just dragged a mug of strongly-brewed dark roast coffee with him as he went east.<br />
<br />
[05:25:38 PM] Karthor says, "Harsh's just over to the east a little bit too, methinks."<br />
<br />
[05:25:39 PM] Madigan just arrived, dragging a mug of strongly-brewed dark roast coffee with him.<br />
<br />
[05:25:39 PM] In a blazing fountain of red-gold sparks, a sunset-hued Moongate adorned with fluttery blossoms of crimson light blazes into life.<br />
<br />
[05:25:42 PM] Madigan joins your group.<br />
<br />

[05:37:29 PM] * A goblin shaman runs through, gesturing at Dantia! A conjured gust of wind stirs, reaching gale force. Dantia is thrown from the caldera of the volcano, launched over the edge and down toward the mine cart track!<br />
[05:37:29 PM] You feel yourself being pulled away...<br />
[05:37:29 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:37:29 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below.

<br />
[05:38:10 PM] Crobin stands up.<br />
<br />
[05:38:10 PM] Krenze begins to advance on Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:38:11 PM] Krenze lowers his shoulders and steadies his weapon.<br />
<br />
[05:38:11 PM] The jagged stone spears surrounding Krenze at melee range tremble slightly, then crumble into a grey dust that is quickly reclaimed by the earth.<br />
<br />
[05:38:11 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at Madigan. <br />
[05:38:11 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />

[05:38:13 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Krenze has been sighted, engage on sight."<br />
[05:38:13 PM] You concentrate on projecting your thoughts.<br />
<br />
[05:38:13 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at Madigan. <br />
[05:38:13 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[05:38:14 PM] Arumis says, "Krenze is here."<br />
<br />
[05:38:14 PM] As Madigan's leadership stirs the fire of your courage, you face the battle with a stronger will.<br />
<br />
[05:38:14 PM] Tathalus closes to pole weapon range on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[05:38:14 PM] Suddenly a breeze swirls past you, surrounding Krenze and spinning outward from his body to form a miniature tornado. Krenze throws his hand up and the winds explode outward! The winds suddenly ignite into a ring of brightly burning fire that swirls outward from Krenze.<br />
[05:38:14 PM] Crobin miraculously avoids being struck by the the ring of fire!<br />

[05:38:15 PM] Madigan stops Krenze from advancing any farther.<br />
<br />
[05:38:15 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "they're at the top of the mountain, yes."<br />
<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Madigan sidesteps and adjusts his footing.<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his left leg shatter!<br />
[05:38:16 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Madigan dashes quickly at Krenze, attacking him with a mighty cleave!<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Madigan's massive zweihander lands a light hit to Krenze's left leg!<br />
<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Arumis says, "Get 'em."<br />
<br />
[05:38:16 PM] Krenze takes a step back and hefts his hammer behind him.<br />
[05:38:16 PM] The air around Madigan solidifies into a blinding yellow luminescence and throws off bright waves of light as it resists the attack.<br />

[05:38:16 PM] Krenze's burning hammer lands a powerful strike to Madigan's left hand!<br />
<br />

<br />
[05:38:17 PM] Tathalus stops advancing on Krenze.<br />

[05:38:19 PM] You touch Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.<br />
[05:38:19 PM] You concentrate on renewing the link.<br />
[05:38:19 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Madigan.<br />
[05:38:19 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Madigan's injuries.<br />
[05:38:19 PM] Madigan's injuries include...<br />

[05:38:19 PM] Scars Internal: an occasional twitching in the left hand -- minor<br />
[05:38:19 PM] Madigan is suffering from a loss of half his vitality (51%).<br />
[05:38:19 PM] (Madigan has 49% vitality remaining.)<br />
[05:38:19 PM] He is insignificantly tired.<br />
[05:38:19 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Arumis's empathic conduit.<br />
<br />
[05:38:20 PM] Madigan takes a step back and hefts his sledgehammer behind him.<br />
[05:38:20 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his abdomen shatter!<br />
[05:38:20 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[05:38:20 PM] Madigan swiftly launches an assault with wide swipes of his sledgehammer!<br />
[05:38:20 PM] Madigan's lifesculpted sledgehammer lands a glancing strike to Krenze's abdomen!<br />
[05:38:21 PM] The air around Madigan solidifies into a blinding yellow luminescence and throws off shimmering light in the wake of the attack.<br />
[05:38:21 PM] Krenze slams a lava-formed shield at Madigan. The shield lands a skimming strike to his left hand! <br />
<br />
[05:38:22 PM] >link madi u<br />
[05:38:23 PM] Stretching your senses along the link with Madigan, you slowly lose the boundary between him and yourself, until you feel his body as if it were your own. Your empathic senses stretch out, forming a link so intense that your breathing slows almost to a stop. Abruptly, the boundary between you and Madigan dissolves completely, and for a few dizzying moments you seem to occupy the same flesh. You concentrate, drawing your shared pain and suffering toward yourself, attempting to imbue Madigan with some of your holistic well being.<br />
[05:38:23 PM] Your nerves sing with pain as you draw Madigan's wounds from his body into your own.<br />
[05:38:23 PM] The feeling of unity with Madigan gradually ebbs away.<br />
<br />

<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Madigan sheathes his lifesculpted sledgehammer.<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Madigan draws forth a lifesculpted glaive clutching moonsilver-inlaid stones.<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Madigan sidesteps and adjusts his footing.<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his left arm shatter!<br />
[05:38:24 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Madigan unleashes his glaive to impale Krenze!<br />
[05:38:24 PM] Madigan's lifesculpted glaive lands a glancing strike to Krenze's left arm!<br />

[05:38:26 PM] Tathalus just dragged a dark steel claymore etched with twining adders down the length of the blade with him as he went northeast.<br />
<br />
[05:38:27 PM] A grey-green starburst spreads across the entire area, its pointed spokes pausing to probe various points along the ground.<br />
[05:38:27 PM] The earth suddenly heaves and buckles as sharpened rock spears explode with monstrous fury from beneath its surface at melee range around Krenze!<br />
[05:38:27 PM] The spears surrounding Krenze at melee range suddenly shift!<br />
[05:38:27 PM] One of the stone spears fails to get past Madigan's tower shield.<br />
[05:38:27 PM] Miraculously, Madigan fails to stumble into one of the stone spears.<br />
<br />
[05:38:27 PM] You feel your vitality transferring to Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:38:27 PM] Crobin closes to pole weapon range on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[05:38:28 PM] You feel your vitality transferring to Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:38:28 PM] Madigan takes a step back and readies an open palm.<br />
[05:38:28 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his left arm shatter!<br />
[05:38:28 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />

<br />
[05:38:31 PM] Crobin jabs a telothian serrated parazonium at Krenze. <br />
<br />
[05:38:31 PM] The air around Madigan solidifies into a blinding yellow luminescence, buckling and losing much of its mass under the force of the attack.<br />
[05:38:31 PM] Krenze slams a lava-formed shield at Madigan. The shield lands a grazing strike to his back! <br />
<br />
[05:38:32 PM] The saline lattice around Krenze's left leg rebuilds and reinforces itself.<br />
[05:38:32 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
<br />
[05:38:32 PM] Crobin jabs a telothian serrated parazonium at Krenze. The parazonium lands an ineffective strike to his chest! <br />

A wooden cart track clinging to the mountain wall serves as the only foothold from this point upward, while a modest path runs the length of the ledge leading to the base of the volcano.<br />
[05:40:37 PM] You also see a dark steel claymore etched with twining adders down the length of the blade, a black panther (sitting), a sturdy lava golem (prone), a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin shaman (dead), an lava bull, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a lava golem, an arrow, an lava bull, an arrow, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a slender tip bolt, an lava bull, a goblin shaman, an lava bull (prone), a papyrus roll, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull, an lava bull, a goblin mercenary, a sturdy lava golem (prone), a lava golem and some junk.<br />

[05:40:37 PM] Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.<br />
<br />
[05:40:37 PM] Tathalus just dragged a dark steel claymore etched with twining adders down the length of the blade with him as he went southwest.<br />
<br />
[05:40:38 PM] [General] Your mind hears Harsh thinking, "healer here"<br />
<br />
[05:40:49 PM] Arumis asks, "Head back up?"<br />
<br />
[05:40:55 PM] Madigan says, "Alright, let's clear this room and work our way back up to the unit."<br />
<br />
[05:40:55 PM] Tathalus just arrived, dragging a dark steel claymore etched with twining adders down the length of the blade with him.<br />
<br />
[05:40:56 PM] >say I think that's the best course of action.<br />
[05:40:56 PM] You say, "I think that's the best course of action."<br />
<br />
[05:41:00 PM] Tathalus just dragged a dark steel claymore etched with twining adders down the length of the blade with him as he went northeast.<br />
<br />
[05:41:02 PM] Arumis nods to Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:41:04 PM] Etasia asks, "Is he still here?"<br />
<br />
[05:41:08 PM] Madigan says, "He is not."<br />
<br />
[05:41:11 PM] Etasia nods to Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:41:12 PM] Crobin says, "He left."<br />
<br />
[05:41:14 PM] Etasia says, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
[05:41:21 PM] >say Check your buffs.<br />
[05:41:21 PM] You say, "Check your buffs."<br />
<br />
[05:41:28 PM] Etasia nods.<br />
<br />
[05:41:34 PM] Madigan says, "Alright, let's move...moving NW."<br />
<br />
[05:41:37 PM] >retreat<br />
[05:41:37 PM] You retreat back to pole range.<br />
<br />
[05:41:38 PM] >retreat<br />
[05:41:38 PM] You retreat from combat.<br />
<br />
[05:41:38 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "How does it look down in Crossing?"<br />
<br />
[05:41:42 PM] Arumis just dragged a papyrus roll with him as he went northeast.<br />
<br />
[05:41:45 PM] Madigan says, "Go ahead and drop your item and work you way back up the mountain."<br />
<br />
[05:41:47 PM] >drop moss<br />
[05:41:47 PM] You drop some belradi moss.<br />
<br />
[05:41:49 PM] >drag moss ne<br />
[05:41:49 PM] You grab the belradi moss and drag it northeast with you . . .<br />
[05:41:49 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:41:49 PM] Between the narrow wooden track slats which run next to the path, the misty green valleys appear very far below indeed. A milling mob of people at the base of the mountain might appear to be a mere greyish speck from this great height. Though little is visible from this vantage point but the mountain range, off into the distance a plume of smoke can be seen rising from between the trees.<br />
[05:41:49 PM] You also see a papyrus roll, a lava drake, a lava golem, a goblin shaman and a goblin berserker.<br />
[05:41:49 PM] Also here: Chronicler Arumis.<br />
[05:41:49 PM] Obvious paths: north, southwest.<br />
[05:41:49 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />

<br />
[05:41:52 PM] >take moss<br />
[05:41:52 PM] You pick up some belradi moss.<br />
<br />
[05:42:11 PM] Suddenly Krenze comes falling into the area followed by the howling of a loud wind!<br />
<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Krenze stops advancing.<br />
<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at a lava drake. The hammer lands a spine-rattling strike that rips into the skin of the left arm in a strong swipe, lightly stunning it! <br />
[05:42:12 PM] Krenze's burning hammer returns to his hand.<br />
<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Krenze is suddenly buffeted out of the area.<br />
[05:42:12 PM] The wind knocks you off your feet.<br />
[05:42:12 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:42:12 PM] The rickety tracks take a sharp northwest-to-south turn as they cling at a steep angle to the footpath along the face of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain looms ominously above, emitting a threatening geyser of steam and smoke. Below, metallic rails and a barely visible trodden pathway intertwine as they make their spiraling trek to the valley.<br />
[05:42:12 PM] You also see a lava golem, a goblin archer, a goblin mercenary (calmed), a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem and a lava golem.<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Also here: Warlord Krenze (prone).<br />
[05:42:12 PM] Obvious paths: south, northwest.<br />
<br />
[05:42:12 PM] >retreat<br />
[05:42:12 PM] You must stand first.<br />
<br />
[05:42:13 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at a lava golem. <br />
[05:42:13 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[05:42:15 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />
[05:42:15 PM] The wind rolls you over.<br />
[05:42:15 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:42:15 PM] The enormous iron spikes which secure the mining tracks to this splinter of a footpath are slowly beginning to pull free, and every gust of wind causes the tracks' bracing beams to shake and groan.<br />
[05:42:15 PM] You also see a lava golem, a large boulder, a lava drake, a lava golem, a goblin archer, a new lava golem and a veteran lava golem.<br />
[05:42:15 PM] Obvious paths: southeast, west.<br />
<br />
[05:42:15 PM] Suddenly Krenze comes falling into the area followed by the howling of a loud wind!<br />
<br />
[05:42:16 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at a lava golem. <br />
[05:42:16 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[05:42:16 PM] >stand<br />
[05:42:16 PM] You stand back up.<br />
<br />
[05:42:18 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />
[05:42:18 PM] Krenze is suddenly buffeted out of the area.<br />
[05:42:18 PM] The wind knocks you off your feet.<br />
[05:42:18 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:42:18 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[05:42:18 PM] You also see a lava drake, a lava golem, an lava bull, a lava drake (stunned), a large boulder, a goblin archer, a goblin archer, a goblin warrior, a goblin mercenary and a goblin bowman (calmed).<br />
[05:42:18 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
<br />
[05:42:23 PM] Suddenly Krenze comes falling into the area followed by the howling of a loud wind!<br />
<br />
[05:42:23 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at a lava drake. <br />
[05:42:23 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[05:42:24 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />
[05:42:24 PM] Krenze is suddenly buffeted out of the area.<br />
[05:42:24 PM] The wind rolls you over.<br />
[05:42:24 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:42:24 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[05:42:24 PM] You also see a new lava golem (calmed), a ghostly white banner, a rock, a pool of grey shadows, a goblin bowman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a cute little cow-shaped cake dusted in edible sunrise-hued glitter, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a stone-throwing imp (calmed), an apple, a goblin archer (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), some grass, a goblin berserker (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a papyrus roll, a goblin bowman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light, an ember bull (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a lava golem (calmed) and a goblin mercenary (calmed).<br />

[05:42:24 PM] >stand<br />
[05:42:24 PM] You stand back up.<br />
<br />
[05:42:24 PM] Harsh peers through the velvet-black Moongate.<br />
<br />
[05:42:25 PM] Sofina just dragged some grass with her as she went west.<br />
<br />
[05:42:26 PM] >laugh<br />
[05:42:26 PM] You laugh!<br />
<br />
[05:42:27 PM] Maintain just arrived, dragging a serrated Imperial spear with a diamondwood haft with him.<br />
[05:42:27 PM] Tathalus just arrived, dragging Lanikarou behind him.<br />
<br />
[05:42:28 PM] [General] Your mind hears Rifkinn thinking, "We have dispatched over half the force you let through"<br />
<br />
[05:42:32 PM] A deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light collapses in on itself.<br />
<br />
[05:42:39 PM] Arumis just dragged a papyrus roll with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[05:42:42 PM] Harsh smiles.<br />
<br />

<br />
[05:42:54 PM] * Lycidylia was just struck down! <br />
<br />
[05:42:56 PM] Tathalus says, "Need a locate on Lyci."<br />
<br />
[05:42:59 PM] Anuril just arrived, dragging an apple with him.<br />
<br />
[05:42:59 PM] You feel a surge of life energy as your regeneration pulses, the spell pattern manifesting as a cascade of rutilant sparks that bathe you in a warm glow.<br />
[05:42:59 PM] The internal wounds to your skin and head are fully healed.<br />
<br />
[05:43:04 PM] Anuril says, "Hello."<br />
<br />
[05:43:06 PM] A nearly painful prickling sensation surges through you as your protective healing matrix focuses on the worst hurts to your body.<br />
[05:43:06 PM] The internal scars on your nerves appear completely healed.<br />
[05:43:06 PM] The internal scars on your head appear completely healed.<br />
<br />
[05:43:09 PM] Allye just dragged a cute little cow-shaped cake dusted in edible sunrise-hued glitter with her as she went west.<br />
<br />
[05:43:10 PM] Nawain waves to Anuril.<br />
<br />
[05:43:16 PM] Mazrian just arrived, dragging a rock with him.<br />
<br />
[05:43:19 PM] Maintain says, "First, there is a lava spine that is vulnerable to being damaged by digging it out. Second, the goblins do not want us doing that and will set us on fire if we try."<br />
<br />
[05:43:22 PM] Mazrian asks, "All good up here?"<br />
<br />
[05:43:28 PM] [General] Your mind hears Somniumvisum thinking, "Is Therengia invading Zoluren? That seems really controversial"<br />
<br />
[05:43:29 PM] Betlind just arrived, dragging a cleaning cloth with her.<br />
<br />
[05:43:29 PM] Maintain just dragged a serrated Imperial spear with a diamondwood haft with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[05:43:30 PM] Leayne softly says, "Sort of."<br />
<br />
[05:43:30 PM] Anuril says, "Kind of scattered at the moment."<br />
<br />
[05:43:30 PM] Tathalus says, "Need to find Lyci."<br />
<br />
[05:43:30 PM] Harsh quietly says, "We are missing a dead somewhere."<br />
<br />
[05:43:30 PM] Crobin just arrived, dragging a black gem pouch with him.<br />
<br />
[05:43:33 PM] Nawain asks, "Is there a group up, or shall we just charge in?"<br />
<br />
[05:43:35 PM] Harsh ponders.<br />
<br />
[05:43:36 PM] Arumis just arrived, dragging a slender tip bolt with him.<br />
<br />
[05:43:37 PM] Betlind moves into position to cover Kethrai from harm.<br />
<br />
[05:43:42 PM] Harsh quietly says, "Lyci is dead on this hill someplace."<br />
<br />
[05:43:42 PM] * Imroth was just struck down! <br />
<br />
[05:43:43 PM] Kethrai says, "We should wait until we have a group I think."<br />
<br />

<br />
[05:43:48 PM] Nawain joins Kethrai's group.<br />
<br />
[05:43:49 PM] Tathalus just dragged a serrated ka'hurst assassin's axe with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[05:43:49 PM] Mazrian says, "We're trying to make our way back up the caldera."<br />
<br />
[05:43:49 PM] Anuril extends his hand toward a ghostly white banner and concentrates.<br />
<br />
[05:43:53 PM] Mazrian says, "But it's slow going."<br />
<br />
[05:43:56 PM] Nawain nods to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
[05:43:57 PM] Betlind pants.<br />
<br />
[05:44:04 PM] Allye just arrived, dragging the body of Lycidylia behind her.<br />
<br />
[05:44:06 PM] Mazrian just dragged a rock with him as he went east.<br />
<br />
[05:44:10 PM] Allye just dragged a cute little cow-shaped cake dusted in edible sunrise-hued glitter with her as she went west.<br />
<br />
[05:44:11 PM] Tathalus just arrived, dragging a serrated ka'hurst assassin's axe with him.<br />
<br />
[05:44:12 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Lycidylia say, "That hurt."<br />
<br />
[05:44:15 PM] Nawain asks, "Why are people dragging things with them?"<br />
<br />
[05:44:17 PM] Tathalus rubs Lycidylia gently, massaging her muscles.<br />
<br />
[05:44:21 PM] Harsh takes a seat near Lycidylia.<br />
<br />
[05:44:23 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Lycidylia say, "Only way to move rooms."<br />
<br />
[05:44:24 PM] Nawain asks, "Was that Mazrian's special rock or something?"<br />
<br />
[05:44:24 PM] Anuril says to Nawain, "It's the only way to move around the lava. It's very dumb."<br />
<br />
[05:44:29 PM] Tathalus just dragged a serrated ka'hurst assassin's axe with him as he went east.<br />
<br />
[05:44:30 PM] Nawain ponders.<br />
<br />
[05:44:31 PM] A swirling vortex of shadows draws itself from the ground and coalesces into a deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light, which yawns open like a hungry maw.<br />
<br />
[05:44:39 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Lycidylia say, "Sorry Leayne, I was in the room with you but stunned."<br />
<br />
[05:44:40 PM] Maintain just arrived, dragging the body of Imroth behind him.<br />
<br />
[05:44:47 PM] Anuril says, "Banner has 10 roi."<br />
<br />
[05:44:49 PM] Maintain nods to Imroth.<br />
<br />
[05:44:52 PM] Maintain says to Imroth, "Of course."<br />
<br />
[05:44:53 PM] Bird Hunter Sozinho came through a deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light.<br />
<br />
[05:44:56 PM] Leayne softly says, "No worries."<br />
<br />
[05:45:00 PM] Leayne softly says, "Glad to be back."<br />
<br />
[05:45:01 PM] Crobin says, "Thank you for trying Lycid."<br />
<br />
[05:45:06 PM] Kethrai says, "Lyci is ready."<br />
<br />
[05:45:09 PM] You hear the ghostly voice of Lycidylia say, "Thank you Keth."<br />
<br />
[05:45:13 PM] As Harsh intones a quiet prayer to Damaris, his hands begin to glow faintly silver. He extends a glowing hand towards the body of Lycidylia.<br />
[05:45:13 PM] Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Lycidylia, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Lycidylia blinks dazedly, wobbling on her feet.<br />
<br />
[05:45:14 PM] Allye just arrived, dragging a cute little cow-shaped cake dusted in edible sunrise-hued glitter with her.<br />
<br />
[05:45:20 PM] Arumis just arrived, dragging Madigan behind him.<br />
<br />
[05:45:23 PM] Lycidylia hugs Harsh, who wraps his arms around Lycidylia with a warm smile.<br />
<br />

<br />
[05:45:25 PM] Nawain says, "Imroth needs lots of healing when someone has a chance."<br />
<br />
[05:45:26 PM] Harsh hugs Lycidylia, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
[05:45:26 PM] Amailia says, "If there's a moongate back... I probably should take it. Heh."<br />
<br />
[05:45:27 PM] Madigan grins.<br />
<br />
[05:45:28 PM] Lycidylia hugs Kethrai, who wraps his arms around Lycidylia with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
[05:45:30 PM] Tirost joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[05:45:30 PM] Lycidylia hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Lycidylia with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
[05:45:30 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Ignore the creatures, try to make for the handholds."<br />
<br />
[05:45:31 PM] Crobin hugs Tirost, who wraps his arms around Crobin with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
[05:45:31 PM] Jindala gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
[05:45:34 PM] Jindala wraps her arm around Tirost's shoulder in a friendly hug.<br />
<br />
[05:45:34 PM] Tirost hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Tirost with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
[05:45:34 PM] Harsh stands up.<br />
<br />
[05:45:37 PM] Betlind just dragged a rock with her as she went west.<br />
<br />
[05:45:37 PM] A deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light collapses in on itself.<br />
<br />
[05:45:41 PM] Arumis joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[05:45:42 PM] * Karthor was just struck down at Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track! <br />
<br />
[05:45:43 PM] Madigan says, "Alright, back up the handholds."<br />
<br />
[05:45:43 PM] Tathalus just arrived, dragging a serrated ka'hurst assassin's axe with him.<br />
<br />
[05:45:44 PM] Madigan grins.<br />
<br />
[05:45:44 PM] Crobin joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[05:45:44 PM] Mazrian just arrived, dragging a fist-sized rock with him.<br />

<br />
[05:45:52 PM] Mazrian just dragged a rock with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[05:45:58 PM] Allye says, "Imroth is all healed."<br />
<br />
[05:46:00 PM] Maintain asks Nawain, "Are you attending in triage, sister?"<br />
<br />
[05:46:00 PM] Warlord Krenze just arrived.<br />
<br />
[05:46:01 PM] Allye joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[05:46:02 PM] As Maintain chants a dispirited requiem for Imroth to Idon, his hands begin to glow faintly silver. He reluctantly extends a glowing hand towards the body.<br />
[05:46:02 PM] The soft red glow around Imroth's body fades away.<br />
[05:46:02 PM] Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Imroth, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Imroth blinks dazedly, wobbling on his feet.<br />
<br />
[05:46:02 PM] Krenze cackles!<br />
<br />
[05:46:03 PM] >say Krenze<br />
[05:46:03 PM] You say, "Krenze."<br />
<br />
[05:46:03 PM] Leayne joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[05:46:05 PM] Krenze begins to advance on Madigan.<br />
<br />
[05:46:06 PM] The jagged stone spears surrounding Krenze at melee range tremble slightly, then crumble into a grey dust that is quickly reclaimed by the earth.<br />
<br />
[05:46:06 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />
[05:46:06 PM] Krenze is suddenly buffeted out of the area.<br />

[05:46:06 PM] The wind knocks you off your feet.<br />
[05:46:06 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:46:06 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[05:46:06 PM] You also see a new lava golem (calmed), a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, a goblet, some boar-tusk arrows, a medium taupe onyx, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a ghostly white banner, a goblin bowman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a scavenger giant (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a veteran lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a scavenger giant (calmed) and a new lava golem (calmed).<br />

[05:46:09 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />

[05:46:14 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[05:46:14 PM] You also see a pink-eared white piglet, a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a lava drake, a lava golem, a large boulder, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull (dead), a veteran veteran golem, a goblin bowman, some belradi moss, a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin archer, a scavenger giant, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin bowman, a veteran lava golem, a goblin bowman, an ember bull, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin berserker, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary (calmed) and some junk.<br />

[05:46:40 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth.

[05:46:43 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[05:46:43 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />

[05:47:33 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth.

[05:47:50 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />

[05:51:09 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[05:51:09 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />

[05:51:12 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[05:51:12 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[05:51:12 PM] You also see a veteran lava golem (calmed), a goblin bowman (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), an ebony lion bead, a goblin shaman (calmed), a ghostly white banner, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, a large green-yellow agate, some grass, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a rock, a goblin bowman (calmed), an arrow, a new lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), some belradi moss, a new lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a rock, a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an arrow and an lava bull (calmed).<br />

[05:51:58 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge.

[05:55:11 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[05:55:11 PM] You stand atop the northeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. This bastion has been sculpted by the very forces that once sought to obliterate everything in their path. Over the ridge, you have a clear view past the Arthe Bay as far as the Qi archipelago in the distance.<br />

The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge.

[05:56:34 PM] After careful observation of the goblin company, you are certain there are 158 armed soldiers that are currently arrayed in attack formation. You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit. The soldiers are rested, appear to be in perfect fighting condition, and are fully supplied. You notice the company is composed of a scavenger giant, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, and a goblin Captain in command.<br />

<br />
[05:59:20 PM] Mazrian cranks his arm back, then heaves the electric javelin towards the goblin unit with all his might. The javelin sails high in the air, before catching a a soldier in the chest. He is killed almost instantly.<br />
<br />
[05:59:22 PM] * Kethrai was just struck down at Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau! <br />

<br />
[05:59:38 PM] Brother Harsh just arrived.<br />
<br />
[05:59:42 PM] Mazrian cranks his arm back, then heaves the electric javelin towards the goblin unit with all his might. The javelin sails high in the air, before catching a a soldier in the chest. He gurgles and chokes, before finally dying.<br />
<br />
[05:59:42 PM] Arumis lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[05:59:42 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[05:59:43 PM] Brother Harsh hobbles west.<br />

[05:59:55 PM] You go north.<br />
[05:59:55 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[05:59:55 PM] You stand atop the northeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. This bastion has been sculpted by the very forces that once sought to obliterate everything in their path. Over the ridge, you have a clear view past the Arthe Bay as far as the Qi archipelago in the distance.<br />

At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />

[06:00:02 PM] You touch Kethrai with a confident grace.<br />

[06:00:12 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava.

<br />
[06:00:23 PM] Harsh mutters to himself.<br />
<br />
[06:00:23 PM] [General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "We are engaging the fortress with the lava spine. If you are on first level, make your way to the handholds and then to triage on the upper level. No need to drag things once you climb the handholds."<br />

[06:00:39 PM] * A goblin shaman runs through, gesturing at Dantia! A visible crack runs through the caldera, and hardening magma sprays into a pyroclastic ridge, slamming into Dantia. Dantia is thrown from the caldera of the volcano, launched over the edge and down toward the mine cart track!<br />
[06:00:39 PM] You feel yourself being pulled away...<br />
[06:00:39 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:00:39 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below.

<br />
[06:00:51 PM] Arumis asks, "Meet at the top?"<br />
<br />
[06:00:52 PM] >say Oh, we rolled down.<br />

[06:00:57 PM] You stand back up.<br />

[06:00:57 PM] Arumis stands up.<br />
<br />
[06:00:58 PM] Madigan grins.<br />
<br />
[06:00:59 PM] A nearly painful prickling sensation surges through you as your protective healing matrix focuses on the worst hurts to your body.<br />
[06:00:59 PM] The internal scars on your chest appear somewhat better.<br />

<br />
[06:01:05 PM] Arumis just dragged a papyrus roll with him as he went northeast.<br />
<br />
[06:01:12 PM] [General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "When you fall back down the mountain, drag something back to the top...meet everyone back up there."<br />

[06:01:15 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:01:15 PM] Between the narrow wooden track slats which run next to the path, the misty green valleys appear very far below indeed. A milling mob of people at the base of the mountain might appear to be a mere greyish speck from this great height. Though little is visible from this vantage point but the mountain range, off into the distance a plume of smoke can be seen rising from between the trees.<br />
[06:01:15 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a black gem pouch, some moss, a sturdy lava golem, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a lava golem and a goblin archer.<br />

[06:01:18 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:01:18 PM] The rickety tracks take a sharp northwest-to-south turn as they cling at a steep angle to the footpath along the face of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain looms ominously above, emitting a threatening geyser of steam and smoke. Below, metallic rails and a barely visible trodden pathway intertwine as they make their spiraling trek to the valley.<br />
[06:01:18 PM] You also see a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin berserker, a goblin mercenary and a sturdy lava golem.<br />

[06:01:21 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:01:21 PM] The enormous iron spikes which secure the mining tracks to this splinter of a footpath are slowly beginning to pull free, and every gust of wind causes the tracks' bracing beams to shake and groan.<br />
[06:01:21 PM] You also see a lava golem, a large boulder, a lava drake, a goblin bowman, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, an lava bull, a goblin archer, a lava golem, a goblin berserker and a new lava golem.<br />

[06:01:25 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:01:25 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />

[06:01:40 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:01:40 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below. A wooden cart track clinging to the mountain wall serves as the only foothold from this point upward, while a modest path runs the length of the ledge leading to the base of the volcano.<br />

[06:02:04 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />

[06:02:08 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:02:08 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:02:08 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, some boar-tusk arrows, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an apple, a goblin shaman, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a new lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a new lava golem and an ember bull (calmed).<br />

[06:02:11 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:02:11 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:02:11 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a black gem pouch, an arrow, some smooth rocks, an arrow, an apple, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, a goblin shaman, a scavenger giant, a goblin shaman, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a goblin warrior, a goblin archer, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a veteran veteran golem and a sturdy lava golem.<br />

[06:02:14 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:02:14 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:02:14 PM] You also see a new lava golem (dead), some grass, a rock, an ebony lion bead, a rock, an arrow, some belradi moss, some belradi moss, some belradi moss, an apple, an apple, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, an arrow, a copper coin, a gold coin, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a tiny yellow-orange star-stone, some copper coins, a goblin archer, a veteran veteran golem, an ember bull (dead), a veteran veteran golem, a new lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman, an enormous electrical fissure, a sturdy lava golem, an ember bull (prone), a rock, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a goblin shaman, a short bow, a war hammer and some junk.<br />

[06:02:21 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:02:21 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:02:21 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:02:21 PM] You also see a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a lava drake, a lava drake, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a circuitous lava spine that encircles a lava fortress, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a dull light throwing axe with a pitted head, a lava drake, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a veteran veteran golem (dead), an arrow, a lava golem, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a lava drake, a goblin shaman (stunned), a goblin bowman, a goblin bowman, a scavenger giant, an ember bull, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin berserker, a new lava golem, an ember bull (dead), an ember bull, a new lava golem (prone), a goblin berserker, a goblin berserker, a goblin shaman, a goblin bowman (prone), a goblin archer (prone), a goblin bowman, a new lava golem (prone), a goblin archer (calmed), an arrow and a new lava golem (calmed).<br />

[06:02:22 PM] You touch Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.<br />
[06:02:22 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Madigan.<br />
[06:02:22 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Madigan's injuries.<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Madigan's injuries include...<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Wounds to the CHEST:<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Fresh Internal: severely swollen and bruised chest area -- harmful<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Scars Internal: minor internal scarring -- insignificant<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Madigan is suffering from an insignificant loss of vitality (1%).<br />
[06:02:22 PM] (Madigan has 99% vitality remaining.)<br />
<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Arumis lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:02:22 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
[06:02:22 PM] A shower of blazing flame-like droplets land on Arumis. Arumis is badly injured by the rain of fire!<br />
<br />
[06:02:24 PM] Enelne's Voice Nawain just arrived.<br />

[06:02:25 PM] Arumis says, "Ouch."<br />

[06:04:10 PM] The goblin shaman gestures at Madigan.<br />
[06:04:10 PM] Several shards of elemental flame fly at Madigan!<br />

<br />

[06:05:22 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:05:22 PM] You also see the goblin company, a new lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts and a veteran veteran golem (calmed).<br />

<br />
[06:05:24 PM] The ground trembles and the sky suddenly arcs with lightning as fear shivers through your body like a winter storm raking at an autumn leaf. Before you a dark portal forms and out of it steps Krenze who raises his arms, calming the ground and quieting the sky.<br />

[06:07:37 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:07:37 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:07:37 PM] You also see a goblin warrior (calmed), a stone-throwing imp (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a goblin bowman (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), the goblin company and a lava golem (calmed).<br />

<br />
[06:07:49 PM] Knight of Meraud Tirost just arrived.<br />
<br />
[06:07:51 PM] Mazrian grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:07:51 PM] The metal makes contact with the igneous material, and some debris rolls away from the base of the wall. He discards the mining tool.<br />
<br />
[06:07:54 PM] Sozinho lingers too close to the thick wall. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:07:54 PM] From atop the lava fortress, a heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock at Sozinho.<br />
[06:07:54 PM] The large rock slams into him, crushing his body with its force.<br />

At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:08:52 PM] You also see the goblin company, an lava bull (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a goblin shaman (calmed) and a stone-throwing imp (calmed).<br />
[06:08:52 PM] Also here: Herald of Justice Imroth (prone) and the body of a calmed Bird Hunter Sozinho (prone).<br />

[06:08:56 PM] (Sozinho has 357% vitality remaining.)<br />
<br />
[06:08:57 PM] * A goblin shaman runs through, gesturing at Dantia! A conjured gust of wind stirs, reaching gale force. Dantia is thrown from the caldera of the volcano, launched over the edge and down toward the mine cart track!<br />
[06:08:57 PM] <br />
[06:08:57 PM] You feel yourself being pulled away...<br />
[06:08:57 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:08:57 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below. A wooden cart track clinging to the mountain wall serves as the only foothold from this point upward, while a modest path runs the length of the ledge leading to the base of the volcano.<br />

[06:09:54 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:09:54 PM] Between the narrow wooden track slats which run next to the path, the misty green valleys appear very far below indeed. A milling mob of people at the base of the mountain might appear to be a mere greyish speck from this great height. Though little is visible from this vantage point but the mountain range, off into the distance a plume of smoke can be seen rising from between the trees.<br />
[06:09:54 PM] You also see a goblin berserker, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a sturdy lava golem and some belradi moss.<br />
[06:09:54 PM] Also here: Sir Madigan.<br />

[06:09:57 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:09:57 PM] The rickety tracks take a sharp northwest-to-south turn as they cling at a steep angle to the footpath along the face of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain looms ominously above, emitting a threatening geyser of steam and smoke. Below, metallic rails and a barely visible trodden pathway intertwine as they make their spiraling trek to the valley.<br />
[06:09:57 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a goblin berserker, a goblin bowman, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a new lava golem and an lava bull.<br />

[06:10:31 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:10:31 PM] The enormous iron spikes which secure the mining tracks to this splinter of a footpath are slowly beginning to pull free, and every gust of wind causes the tracks' bracing beams to shake and groan.<br />
[06:10:31 PM] You also see a lava golem, a large boulder, a sturdy lava golem, a new lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin warrior, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem and an lava bull.<br />

[06:10:33 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:10:33 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[06:10:33 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, an ebony lion bead, a cloud of silver-grey mist, a medium yellow bloodstone, a crust-covered oaken trunk, a dull copper skippet, a tiny electrum nugget, a huge piece of amber, a worm-eaten driftwood skippet, a large boulder, an arrow, some belradi moss, a goblin warrior, a reinforced iron coffer, a tiny green emerald, a goblin bowman (prone), a lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a copper-edged brass chest, an lava bull, a goblin bowman (calmed), a lava golem, a goblin archer (calmed), a lava golem (calmed) and some junk.<br />

[06:10:55 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:10:55 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:10:55 PM] You also see a spotted cream and gold owl (calmed), a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (calmed), a ghostly white banner, a pink-eared white piglet, a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a black gem pouch, a goblin archer (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light, a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a curly tailed black piglet, a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a new lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed) and a lava golem (calmed).<br />

<br />
[06:10:59 PM] A deep velvet-black Moongate that sparkles with brilliant bursts of light collapses in on itself.<br />
<br />
[06:11:00 PM] Crobin just dragged a black gem pouch with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[06:11:02 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "Madigan, where are you?"<br />

[06:11:05 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:11:05 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:11:05 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an apple, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin shaman, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a scavenger giant, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin archer, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed) and some junk.<br />

[06:11:08 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:11:08 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:11:08 PM] You also see a goblin archer, a rock, a rock, a goblin shaman, some smooth rocks, an arrow, an apple, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a lava golem, a rock, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a goblin archer, a goblin archer, a black gem pouch, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem and a scavenger giant.<br />

[06:11:12 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:11:12 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />

[06:11:15 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:11:15 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />

<br />
[06:11:46 PM] Mazrian grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:11:46 PM] The metal makes contact with the igneous material, and some debris rolls away from the base of the wall. He discards the mining tool.<br />

At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />

[06:16:24 PM] You stand atop the southeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The interior of the ridge is a scene of devastation where once molten magma spewed forth, now lying as an expanse of hardened black rock.

<br />
[06:16:42 PM] Madigan lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />

<br />
[06:16:49 PM] * A goblin shaman runs through, gesturing at Madigan! A conjured gust of wind stirs, reaching gale force. Madigan is thrown from the caldera of the volcano, launched over the edge and down toward the mine cart track!<br />
<br />
[06:16:51 PM] Without warning, a great wind surges through the area!<br />

[06:16:51 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:16:51 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces.

[06:17:49 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:17:49 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth.

<br />
[06:17:54 PM] You linger too close to the thick wall. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:17:54 PM] From atop the lava fortress, a heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock at you!<br />
[06:17:54 PM] The large rock careens past you and shatters on the floor of the caldera.<br />
<br />

[06:17:59 PM] A scavenger giant fixes Sofina with an intent stare.<br />
[06:17:59 PM] The piercing screech of tortured air assaults your ears, punctuated by a sharp **CRACK!**!<br />

[06:18:05 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:18:05 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />

<br />
[06:18:36 PM] Betlind says, "Refreshed banner to the north."<br />
<br />
[06:18:36 PM] Madigan grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:18:36 PM] The metal makes ineffective contact with the igneous material, and the tool is rendered useless. You discard the mining tool.<br />

<br />
[06:18:42 PM] Maintain lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:18:42 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:18:42 PM] >think Continuing to regroup at the top of the handholds to dig the spine.<br />
[06:18:42 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Continuing to regroup at the top of the handholds to dig the spine."<br />
[06:18:43 PM] You concentrate on projecting your thoughts.<br />
<br />
[06:18:43 PM] Allye grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:18:43 PM] The metal makes ineffective contact with the igneous material, and the tool is rendered useless. You discard the mining tool.<br />
<br />
[06:18:44 PM] >look spine<br />
[06:18:44 PM] Formed of twisting igneous rock that towers above you, these walls are shaped from solidified pyroclastic flows that sweep upward in jagged cyclopean ridges. Each wall has a slightly glassy sheen and an inlay of cooling lava with whorls of dimming orange.<br />

[06:19:00 PM] Madigan asks, "Someone try to examine the spine to see if we are making process?"<br />
<br />
[06:19:01 PM] >study spine<br />
[06:19:01 PM] Studying the lava spine, you believe it is too thick to be susceptible to both traditional magic or weapons. However, noticing discarded rudimentary mining tools left by deceased goblins, you believe you can attempt to DIG at the rocks at the base of the wall, and if enough of the material breaks free, this section of the wall may collapse. From the sounds of rustling and shouting, you estimate that there are quite a few goblins inside<br />

[06:20:28 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:20:28 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:20:28 PM] You also see the goblin company, a new lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a new lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed) and a veteran veteran golem (calmed).<br />

[06:22:24 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:22:24 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:22:24 PM] You also see a new lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a new lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed) and the goblin company.<br />

[06:22:27 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:22:27 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem (prone), an electrical fissure, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a circuitous lava spine that encircles a lava fortress, a scavenger giant (dead), a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava drake, a lava golem, an ember bull (stunned), a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, an arrow, an arrow, a lava drake, a light crossbow, a war hammer, a lava drake, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, a rock, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake and a veteran veteran golem.<br />

<br />
[06:22:37 PM] Arumis grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:22:37 PM] The metal makes contact with the igneous material, and some debris rolls away from the base of the wall. He discards the mining tool.<br />

<br />
[06:22:54 PM] Crobin lingers too close to the thick wall. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:22:54 PM] From atop the lava fortress, a heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock at the attackers.<br />

<br />
[06:24:28 PM] >look<br />
[06:24:28 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:28 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below. A wooden cart track clinging to the mountain wall serves as the only foothold from this point upward, while a modest path runs the length of the ledge leading to the base of the volcano.<br />
[06:24:28 PM] You also see a lava drake, a lava golem, a slender tip bolt, a slender tip bolt, a slender tip bolt, a cleaning cloth, an arrow, some belradi moss, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a veteran lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a lava golem, an lava bull, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a goblin berserker, a goblin archer, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a goblin archer, a lava golem and a lava golem.<br />

[06:24:31 PM] The internal scars to your chest are fully healed.<br />

[06:24:35 PM] You grab Betlind and drag her northeast with you . . .<br />
[06:24:35 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:35 PM] Between the narrow wooden track slats which run next to the path, the misty green valleys appear very far below indeed. A milling mob of people at the base of the mountain might appear to be a mere greyish speck from this great height. Though little is visible from this vantage point but the mountain range, off into the distance a plume of smoke can be seen rising from between the trees.<br />
[06:24:35 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a lava drake, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin archer, a goblin archer, an lava bull, a lava golem and an lava bull.<br />
[06:24:35 PM] Also here: a stunned Shield of Starlight Betlind (prone).<br />

[06:24:38 PM] You grab Betlind and drag her north with you . . .<br />
[06:24:38 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:38 PM] The rickety tracks take a sharp northwest-to-south turn as they cling at a steep angle to the footpath along the face of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain looms ominously above, emitting a threatening geyser of steam and smoke. Below, metallic rails and a barely visible trodden pathway intertwine as they make their spiraling trek to the valley.<br />
[06:24:38 PM] You also see a scavenger giant, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a new lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem and a veteran lava golem.<br />
[06:24:38 PM] Also here: a stunned Shield of Starlight Betlind (prone).<br />

[06:24:40 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:40 PM] The enormous iron spikes which secure the mining tracks to this splinter of a footpath are slowly beginning to pull free, and every gust of wind causes the tracks' bracing beams to shake and groan.<br />
[06:24:40 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a large boulder, a goblin bowman, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem and a lava golem.<br />

[06:24:43 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:43 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[06:24:43 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a dull copper skippet, a huge piece of amber, a large boulder, an arrow, a reinforced iron coffer, a tiny green emerald, a copper-edged brass chest, a small cream-colored andalusite, a gold coin, some silver coins, a bronze coin, some copper coins, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin shaman, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull and some belradi moss.<br />

[06:24:48 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:48 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:24:48 PM] You also see a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a studded leather breastplate, a full leather helm, a leather aventail, a war hammer, a medium shield, an enormous fiery fissure, a monstrous fiery red dragon with talons extending from the apex of its wings (flying), a curly tailed black piglet, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, an lava bull, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a goblin warrior (dead), a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin warrior, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a rock, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin berserker, a red Moongate, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, an lava bull, an lava bull, a goblin mercenary (stunned), a goblin berserker, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin archer, a red moonbeam, a dense unnatural fog, an lava bull, a goblin warrior, a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a studded leather breastplate, a full leather helm, a leather aventail, a war hammer, a medium shield, a goblin shaman, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, some silver coins, some bronze coins, some copper coins, a tiny yellow zircon, an lava bull (calmed), a goblin archer and some junk.<br />

[06:24:52 PM] You grab Betlind and drag her west with you . . .<br />
[06:24:52 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:52 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:24:52 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem (calmed), an lava bull (immobile), a scavenger giant (calmed), a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a pink-eared white piglet, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, a glass of Starry Road sherry, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a goblin berserker, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin berserker and a lava golem.<br />

[06:24:54 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:24:54 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:24:54 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a rock, a black gem pouch, some smooth rocks, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a rock, a rock, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, an lava bull and a lava golem.<br />

[06:24:57 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:24:57 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:24:57 PM] You also see a lava golem, some grass, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a rock, some belradi moss, a goblin bowman, a sturdy lava golem, some grass, an arrow, some belradi moss, some belradi moss, an apple, an apple, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, an arrow, a copper coin, a gold coin, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a tiny yellow-orange star-stone, some copper coins, an arrow, an electrical fissure, a short bow, a war hammer, a rock, some grass, a small sky blue topaz, a rock, an ebony lion bead, a scavenger giant, a veteran veteran golem, a stone-throwing imp and some junk.<br />

<br />
[06:25:02 PM] Imroth lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />

[06:25:03 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:25:03 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:25:03 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:25:03 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, an electrical fissure, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a circuitous lava spine that encircles a lava fortress, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava drake, an ember bull, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, an arrow, an arrow, a lava drake, a light crossbow, a war hammer, a lava drake, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, a rock, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a veteran veteran golem, a lava drake, a new lava golem, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake and a goblin archer.<br />

[06:25:07 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Betlind.<br />
[06:25:07 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Betlind's injuries.<br />
[06:25:07 PM] Betlind's injuries include...<br />

<br />
[06:25:19 PM] A goblin bowman slips out of hiding.<br />
[06:25:19 PM] A goblin bowman fires a naphtha-soaked arrow at Nawain. The arrow lands a light strike to her back.<br />
[06:25:19 PM] The force of the impact shatters a tiny vial of naphtha affixed to the naphtha-soaked arrow, dousing her back!<br />
[06:25:19 PM] The naphtha coating her back ignites with a *FWOOSH!*<br />
[06:25:19 PM] Giggling, the goblin bowman flees the area.<br />

[06:25:25 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:25:25 PM] You also see the goblin company, a veteran lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky and a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts.<br />

[06:27:05 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:27:05 PM] You also see the goblin company, a veteran lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts and a new lava golem (calmed).<br />

The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:27:07 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a circuitous lava spine that encircles a lava fortress, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava drake (dead), an ember bull, a lava golem, an arrow, an arrow, a lava drake, a light crossbow, a war hammer, a lava drake, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem (dead), a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava drake, a rock, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a veteran veteran golem, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a goblin archer, an lava bull, a goblin archer, an arrow, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin shaman, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior and some junk.<br />

[06:28:07 PM] The faint outline of a spectral bird rises from the flame surrounding Maintain's corpse, spreading its wings wide as it raises its head to the heavens and calls out with a keening cry!<br />

[06:28:11 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:28:11 PM] You also see a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a new lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed) and the goblin company.<br />

The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge.

[06:29:30 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:29:30 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:29:30 PM] You also see the goblin company, a new lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava drake (calmed) and a goblin shaman (calmed).<br />

[06:31:55 PM] The wind knocks you off your feet.<br />
[06:31:55 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:31:55 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:31:55 PM] You also see the goblin company, a lava golem (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a sturdy lava golem (calmed) and a veteran veteran golem (calmed).<br />

[06:32:13 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />

<br />
[06:32:57 PM] Shield of Starlight Betlind goes south.<br />
<br />
[06:32:58 PM] * A goblin shaman runs through, gesturing at Dantia! A conjured gust of wind stirs, reaching gale force. Dantia is thrown from the caldera of the volcano, launched over the edge and down toward the mine cart track!<br />
<br />
[06:32:58 PM] You feel yourself being pulled away...<br />
[06:32:58 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:32:58 PM] What was once a narrow ledge comes to a crumbling end as small particles of dust and rubble release their tentative hold and plunge into the misty void miles below. A wooden cart track clinging to the mountain wall serves as the only foothold from this point upward, while a modest path runs the length of the ledge leading to the base of the volcano.<br />
[06:32:58 PM] You also see a lava drake, a lava golem, a slender tip bolt, a slender tip bolt, a cleaning cloth, an arrow, some belradi moss, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, an lava bull, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin archer, a lava golem, a goblin warrior, an lava bull and a veteran lava golem.<br />

[06:32:58 PM] Roundtime: 15 sec.<br />
[06:32:58 PM] You are stunned!<br />
<br />
[06:32:58 PM] Arumis tremors suddenly and rouses from his stupor.<br />
[06:32:58 PM] Arumis shakes off the stun.<br />
<br />
[06:33:01 PM] You feel a surge of life energy as your regeneration pulses, the spell pattern manifesting as a cascade of rutilant sparks that bathe you in a warm glow.<br />
[06:33:01 PM] The internal wounds to your chest are fully healed.<br />
<br />
[06:33:05 PM] Arumis sighs.<br />

[06:33:12 PM] Harsh falls over!<br />

<br />
[06:33:17 PM] You feel a surge of life energy as your regeneration pulses, the spell pattern manifesting as a cascade of rutilant sparks that bathe you in a warm glow.<br />

<br />
[06:33:31 PM] >think Two thirds of the way through the wall, keep it up front line!<br />
[06:33:31 PM] [General] You hear your mental voice echo, "Two thirds of the way through the wall, keep it up front line!"<br />
<br />
[06:33:31 PM] >stand<br />
[06:33:32 PM] You come out of hiding.<br />
[06:33:32 PM] You stand back up.<br />

[06:33:36 PM] You touch Harsh with a confident grace.<br />
[06:33:36 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Harsh.<br />
[06:33:36 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Harsh's injuries.<br />
[06:33:36 PM] Harsh's injuries include...<br />

[06:33:36 PM] Harsh has normal vitality.<br />
[06:33:36 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Arumis's empathic conduit.<br />
<br />
[06:33:36 PM] Betlind shakes off the stun.<br />
<br />
[06:33:37 PM] Madigan grabs Harsh and drags him northeast with him.<br />
<br />
[06:33:37 PM] Betlind stands up.<br />
<br />
[06:33:50 PM] >say I choose Betlind!<br />

[06:33:53 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:33:53 PM] Between the narrow wooden track slats which run next to the path, the misty green valleys appear very far below indeed. A milling mob of people at the base of the mountain might appear to be a mere greyish speck from this great height. Though little is visible from this vantage point but the mountain range, off into the distance a plume of smoke can be seen rising from between the trees.<br />
[06:33:53 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a lava drake, a goblin archer, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, an lava bull, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a lava golem and a lava golem.<br />

[06:33:57 PM] You grab Betlind's arm and drag her north with you . . .<br />
[06:33:57 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:33:57 PM] The rickety tracks take a sharp northwest-to-south turn as they cling at a steep angle to the footpath along the face of the volcano. The mouth of the mountain looms ominously above, emitting a threatening geyser of steam and smoke. Below, metallic rails and a barely visible trodden pathway intertwine as they make their spiraling trek to the valley.<br />
[06:33:57 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin bowman, a veteran veteran golem, a scavenger giant, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran lava golem and a sturdy lava golem.<br />

[06:33:57 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[06:33:58 PM] Betlind preens. Someone's pleased with herself!<br />
<br />
[06:33:58 PM] [General] Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Sometimes, a little intercession from the Immortals is necessary to move mountains and volcanos"<br />
<br />
[06:34:00 PM] >drag bet nw<br />
[06:34:00 PM] You grab Betlind's arm and drag her northwest with you . . .<br />
[06:34:00 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:34:00 PM] The enormous iron spikes which secure the mining tracks to this splinter of a footpath are slowly beginning to pull free, and every gust of wind causes the tracks' bracing beams to shake and groan.<br />
[06:34:00 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a large boulder, a goblin berserker, a goblin archer, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin bowman, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed) and a veteran veteran golem (calmed).<br />

[06:34:03 PM] You grab Betlind's arm and drag her west with you . . .<br />
[06:34:03 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:34:03 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[06:34:03 PM] You also see a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a curly tailed black piglet, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an ethereal vela'tohr plant, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran lava golem (calmed), a large boulder, a ghostly white banner, an lava bull (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull, a lava golem and an arrow.<br />

[06:34:21 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:34:21 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:34:21 PM] You also see a faceless watchsoul (calmed), a medium chestnut carnelian, some silver coins, some bronze coins, some copper coins, a metal oval shield, a razaksel battle axe, a ribbed bone hauberk, a lava golem (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem (immobile), a goblin warrior (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, a goblin berserker (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a large fiery fissure, a lava golem (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem (immobile), a reinforced wooden coffer, a glowing stick, some belradi moss, a lava golem (immobile), a veteran veteran golem, a goblin berserker (immobile), an lava bull (immobile), a goblin shaman (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a huge sea-green jade, a metal oval shield, a ribbed bone hauberk, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem (immobile), a medium turquoise, a huge oravir nugget, a small swirled cream-colored onyx, a small green tsavorite, an embroidery needle, a glowing stick, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem (immobile), a sturdy lava golem (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a goblin warrior (immobile), a lava golem (immobile), a sturdy lava golem (immobile), a lava golem, a goblin warrior and a lava golem.<br />

[06:34:24 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:34:24 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:34:24 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, a scavenger giant, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, an lava bull, a scavenger giant and a lava golem.<br />

[06:37:09 PM] Tirost asks you, "Drag me when you go?"<br />
<br />
[06:37:10 PM] Madigan says, "I'll go make sure we have another as well."<br />
<br />
[06:37:13 PM] Maintain says, "They must dodge the fire rain there, though."<br />
<br />
[06:37:13 PM] Tirost grins at you.<br />

[06:37:16 PM] >nod tiro<br />
[06:37:16 PM] You nod to Tirost.<br />

<br />
[06:37:21 PM] Madigan grins at you.<br />
<br />
[06:37:30 PM] Harsh quietly says, "Tell me when and where it is."<br />
<br />
[06:37:33 PM] Madigan just dragged a mug of Dragon Shield coffee with him as he went west.<br />
<br />
[06:37:33 PM] Jaelia stands up.<br />
<br />
[06:37:36 PM] >say }Tirost Ready?<br />
[06:37:36 PM] You ask Tirost, "Ready?"<br />
<br />
[06:37:38 PM] Tirost nods.<br />

[06:37:47 PM] >drag tirost w<br />
[06:37:47 PM] You grab Tirost's arm and drag him west with you . . .<br />
[06:37:47 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:37:47 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:37:47 PM] You also see a faceless watchsoul (calmed), a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a large fiery fissure, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a ribbed bone hauberk, a veteran veteran golem, a scavenger giant (dead), a ribbed bone hauberk, a sturdy lava golem (immobile), an lava bull (dead), a crooked iron trunk, a lava golem, a medium lapis lazuli, a tiny clear diamond, a mud-stained steel box, a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a goblin bowman (dead), a goblin berserker, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull, an lava bull and some junk.<br />

<br />
[06:37:49 PM] >drag tirost w<br />
[06:37:49 PM] You grab Tirost's arm and drag him west with you . . .<br />
[06:37:49 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:37:49 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:37:49 PM] You also see an arrow, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a small azure finger puppet of a man, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a goblin warrior, an lava bull, a sturdy lava golem, an apple, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull and a veteran veteran golem.<br />

[06:37:49 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
[06:37:49 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[06:37:51 PM] Nawain just dragged an apple with her as she went west.<br />
<br />
[06:37:52 PM] >drag tirost w<br />
[06:37:53 PM] You grab Tirost's arm and drag him west with you . . .<br />
[06:37:53 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:37:53 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:37:53 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a goblin shaman, a goblin archer, an lava bull, a goblin warrior, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull, a veteran veteran golem, an apple, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a rock, a black gem pouch, a rock and a rock.<br />
[06:37:53 PM] Also here: a calmed Knight of Meraud Tirost and Enelne's Voice Nawain.<br />
[06:37:53 PM] Obvious paths: east, southwest.<br />
[06:37:53 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[06:37:54 PM] Nawain lingers too close to the thick wall. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:37:54 PM] From atop the lava fortress, a heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock at the attackers.<br />
[06:37:54 PM] The large rock careens past and shatters on the floor of the caldera.<br />
<br />
[06:37:55 PM] >drag tirost sw<br />
[06:37:56 PM] You grab Tirost's arm and drag him southwest with you . . .<br />
[06:37:56 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:37:56 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:37:56 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior, a sturdy lava golem, a rock, a rock, a glass of mocha milkshake, some grass, some grass, some belradi moss, an apple, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, an arrow, a gold coin, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a tiny yellow-orange star-stone, some copper coins, an arrow, a short bow, a war hammer, some grass, an ebony lion bead, a rock, a gaping electrical fissure, a dense unnatural fog and a lava golem.<br />
[06:37:56 PM] Also here: Knight of Meraud Tirost.<br />
[06:37:56 PM] Obvious paths: obscured by a thick fog<br />
[06:37:56 PM] Roundtime: 3 seconds.<br />
<br />
[06:37:58 PM] >say Handholds.<br />
[06:37:58 PM] You say, "Handholds."<br />
<br />
[06:37:58 PM] Knight of Meraud Tirost climbed up some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim.<br />
<br />
[06:38:00 PM] >climb hand<br />
[06:38:00 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:38:00 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:38:00 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:38:00 PM] You also see a scavenger giant, a rock, a lava drake (dead), a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake (sleeping), an arrow, a sturdy lava golem (dead), a floating vessel of flaring crimson light, a scavenger giant, a lava golem, a rock, a new lava golem, a veteran veteran golem (prone), a scavenger giant, a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a circuitous lava spine that encircles a lava fortress, an arrow, an arrow, a lava golem, a light crossbow, a war hammer, a lava golem, a new lava golem (sleeping), an ember bull (sleeping), a lava golem (sleeping), a scavenger giant, a cleaning cloth, a lava golem (sleeping), a new lava golem, a new lava golem, an ember bull, a goblin berserker, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin bowman, a pyroclastic ash cloud, an lava bull, an ember bull, a goblin berserker, a goblin archer and some junk.<br />
[06:38:00 PM] Also here: Knight of Meraud Tirost, Blunt Traumatizer Allye, Chronicler Arumis, Goblin Bait Tathalus, Black Wing Lanikarou, Bastion of Life Karthor, Shield of Starlight Betlind, Herald of Justice Imroth, Mazrian and a stunned Bird Hunter Sozinho.<br />
[06:38:00 PM] Obvious paths: north, east, down.<br />
<br />
[06:38:02 PM] >say Let's go!<br />
[06:38:02 PM] You exclaim, "Let's go!"<br />
<br />
[06:38:02 PM] Sozinho lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:38:02 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:38:04 PM] A goblin bowman slips out of hiding.<br />
[06:38:04 PM] A goblin bowman fires a naphtha-soaked arrow at Mazrian. Mazrian evades.<br />
[06:38:04 PM] The naphtha-soaked arrow hits the ground and shatters to pieces!<br />
[06:38:04 PM] Grubling with disappointment, the goblin bowman flees the area.<br />
[06:38:05 PM] The lava bull closes to melee range on Lanikarou.<br />
<br />
[06:38:05 PM] >say Soz move<br />
[06:38:05 PM] You say, "Soz move."<br />
<br />
[06:38:06 PM] Sozinho seems not to notice as the flames consume his back!<br />
<br />
[06:38:06 PM] Sir Madigan just arrived.<br />
<br />
[06:38:06 PM] >touch Soz<br />
[06:38:06 PM] You touch Sozinho with a confident grace.<br />
[06:38:06 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Sozinho.<br />
[06:38:06 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Sozinho's injuries.<br />
[06:38:06 PM] Sozinho's injuries include...<br />
[06:38:06 PM] ... no injuries to speak of.<br />
[06:38:06 PM] Sozinho is suffering from a mild loss of vitality (15%).<br />
[06:38:06 PM] (Sozinho has 85% vitality remaining.)<br />
[06:38:06 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Karthor's empathic conduit.<br />
[06:38:06 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Allye's empathic conduit.<br />
<br />
[06:38:07 PM] Arumis says, "About time, Dantia."<br />
<br />
[06:38:08 PM] Imroth seems not to notice as the flames consume his back!<br />
<br />
[06:38:08 PM] Arumis grins.<br />
<br />
[06:38:09 PM] Sir Madigan goes north.<br />
<br />
[06:38:10 PM] Mazrian grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:38:10 PM] The metal makes contact with the igneous material, and some debris rolls away from the base of the wall. He discards the mining tool.<br />
<br />
[06:38:10 PM] Betlind grabs one of the discarded rudimentary mining tools nearby, digging at a segment of the lava spine.<br />
[06:38:10 PM] The metal makes contact with the igneous material, and some debris rolls away from the base of the wall. She discards the mining tool.<br />
<br />
[06:38:10 PM] Debris begins falling from the wall as the segment of lava spine loses integrity. Clumps of rock fall outward in a pile, revealing access to the fortress within over the collapsed spine.<br />
<br />
[06:38:12 PM] Arumis grabs Sozinho's arm and drags him east with him.<br />
<br />
[06:38:13 PM] Imroth falls over.<br />
<br />
[06:38:13 PM] Imroth rolls around on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire.<br />
<br />
[06:38:15 PM] Arumis just arrived, dragging Sozinho behind him.<br />
<br />

<br />
[06:38:23 PM] Imroth seems not to notice as the flames consume his back!<br />
<br />
[06:38:24 PM] Betlind asks, "We did it?"<br />
<br />
[06:38:24 PM] Imroth continues to roll around on the ground until the flames are completely extinguished.<br />
<br />
[06:38:25 PM] Allye asks, "Ooh, did we finish digging?"<br />
<br />
[06:38:26 PM] >say Mazrian move<br />

[06:40:22 PM] Mazrian says, "I have to draw you in, or be in my group."<br />
<br />
[06:40:22 PM] Herald of Justice Imroth climbed some igneous debris in a collapsed section of a circuitous lava spine.<br />
<br />
[06:40:22 PM] Lanikarou lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:40:22 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:40:23 PM] Sir Madigan's group climbed some igneous debris in a collapsed section of a circuitous lava spine.<br />
<br />

[06:40:28 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:40:28 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Shielded Courtyard]<br />
[06:40:28 PM] The center of the caldera plateau is a smooth plain of igneous rock formed from a settled lava lake, painstakingly shaped into a flat ward of igneous rock. Blocking what would be a view of Kermoria in its entirety, a crumbled lava spine serves as a curtain wall that even in its destroyed shape shields this plain from outside interference.<br />
[06:40:28 PM] You also see the goblin company, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a lava fortress, a lava drake and a new lava golem.<br />
[06:40:28 PM] Also here: Knight of Meraud Tirost, Chronicler Arumis, Mazrian, Blunt Traumatizer Allye, Bastion of Life Karthor and Sir Madigan.<br />
[06:40:28 PM] Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest.<br />
<br />
[06:40:29 PM] Shield of Starlight Betlind just arrived.<br />
<br />
[06:40:30 PM] >join madi<br />
[06:40:30 PM] You join Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[06:40:31 PM] Allye gazes at a lava fortress.<br />
<br />
[06:40:32 PM] [General] Your mind hears Trieo thinking, "We raiding the Spine?"<br />
<br />
[06:40:33 PM] Betlind joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[06:40:34 PM] Betlind moves into position to cover Allye from harm.<br />
<br />
[06:40:35 PM] Herald of Justice Imroth just arrived.<br />
<br />
[06:40:35 PM] Betlind pants.<br />
<br />
[06:40:37 PM] Imroth joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[06:40:38 PM] [General] Your mind hears Madigan thinking, "We are engaging the Fortress now."<br />
<br />
[06:40:40 PM] >study fortress<br />
[06:40:40 PM] The haphazard pattern used to create this fortress has left it open to all who wish to access it. You believe you can TOUCH the fortress to enter, if you can reach it. From the sounds of rustling and shouting, you estimate that there are quite a few goblins inside.<br />
[06:40:40 PM] Roundtime: 10 sec.<br />
<br />
[06:40:40 PM] Allye says, "He's been busy."<br />
<br />
[06:40:42 PM] Madigan lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:40:42 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:40:43 PM] Tirost nods.<br />
<br />
[06:40:43 PM] A group of the enemy breaks off from the main company!<br />
<br />
[06:40:45 PM] Allye frowns.<br />
<br />
[06:40:46 PM] Tirost says, "This is... not good."<br />
<br />
[06:40:46 PM] [General] Your mind hears Mazrian thinking, "We've entered the Courtyard of the fortress named Goblin's Folly."<br />
<br />
[06:40:55 PM] Madigan says, "This is...interesting."<br />
<br />
[06:40:58 PM] Madigan grins at Tirost.<br />
<br />
[06:41:00 PM] >northeast<br />
[06:41:00 PM] You go northeast.<br />
[06:41:00 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:41:00 PM] You stand atop the northeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. This bastion has been sculpted by the very forces that once sought to obliterate everything in their path. Over the ridge, you have a clear view past the Arthe Bay as far as the Qi archipelago in the distance.<br />
[06:41:00 PM] You also see a lava drake, a lava drake, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a medium shield, a lava drake, an lava bull, a goblin archer, a goblin shaman (dead), an arrow, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, the goblin unit, an ember bull and a goblin mercenary.<br />

[06:41:01 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:41:01 PM] You stand atop the northwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. As you stand at the caldera's edge, the howling wind almost whispers unspoken stories of a fiery past. Over the ridge, you can see flickering lights from Langenfirth and as far as Muspar'i in the distance.<br />
[06:41:01 PM] You also see an lava bull (calmed), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a cheerful rainbow banner of glittery unicorns and glowing pink hearts, a goblin warrior (calmed), an ember bull (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), the goblin company, a goblin warrior (calmed) and a goblin bowman (calmed).<br />

[06:41:02 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:41:02 PM] You also see a lava drake, an arrow, a floating vessel of flaring crimson light, a rock, a new lava golem (dead), a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an arrow, an arrow, a light crossbow, a war hammer, a new lava golem, a cleaning cloth, a lava golem, a goblin berserker (dead), a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior (dead), a goblin bowman (calmed), an lava bull, some igneous debris in a collapsed section of a circuitous lava spine, a goblin bowman, an arrow, an arrow, an enormous electrical fissure, an arrow, a rock, an arrow, an lava bull (immobile), a rusty greastword with a pitted and notched blade, a goblin warrior, a goblin archer (stunned), a dense unnatural fog, a veteran veteran golem, a scavenger giant, a goblin berserker and some junk.<br />
[06:41:02 PM] Also here: Bird Hunter Sozinho, Goblin Bait Tathalus and Black Wing Lanikarou.<br />
[06:41:02 PM] Obvious paths: obscured by a thick fog<br />
<br />
[06:41:02 PM] Lanikarou lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:41:02 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:41:02 PM] [General] Your mind hears Akeiro thinking, "Moving fast according to the Therengian manual on courting."<br />
<br />

[06:41:03 PM] You go east.<br />
[06:41:03 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:41:03 PM] You stand atop the southeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The interior of the ridge is a scene of devastation where once molten magma spewed forth, now lying as an expanse of hardened black rock. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. Over the ridge, you have a clear view as far as Arthe Bay in the distance.<br />
[06:41:03 PM] You also see a lava drake, a veteran veteran golem, an arrow, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, an arrow, a goblin shaman, a new lava golem and a goblin mercenary (calmed).<br />

[06:41:11 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:41:11 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Shielded Courtyard]<br />
[06:41:11 PM] The center of the caldera plateau is a smooth plain of igneous rock formed from a settled lava lake, painstakingly shaped into a flat ward of igneous rock.

<br />
[06:41:39 PM] Betlind approaches the fortress to touch the lava wall. A small gap breaks away from the rest of the hardened lava, allowing her to slide through. Behind her, molten lava seems to coalesce from the floor and trickle into the gap, reforming to fill the hole.<br />

[06:41:40 PM] Arumis approaches the fortress to touch the lava wall. A small gap breaks away from the rest of the hardened lava, allowing him to slide through. Behind him, molten lava seems to coalesce from the floor and trickle into the gap, reforming to fill the hole.<br />

Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:44:23 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a rock, a rock, a glass of mocha milkshake, some grass, some belradi moss, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, an arrow, a gold coin, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a tiny yellow-orange star-stone, an arrow, a short bow, a war hammer, some grass, an ebony lion bead, a rock, a large electrical fissure, a goblin bowman, a scavenger giant, an lava bull, a goblin warrior, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a goblin bowman, a veteran veteran golem and an apple.<br />

[06:44:27 PM] You grab Mazrian's body and drag it northeast with you . . .<br />
[06:44:27 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:44:27 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:44:27 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin archer, a veteran veteran golem, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a rock, a black gem pouch, a rock, a rock, a goblin warrior, a new lava golem, a lava golem, an apple, a lava golem, a lava golem, an ember bull, a goblin mercenary, a goblin warrior, a goblin warrior, a goblin archer, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem and a goblin bowman.<br />

[06:44:30 PM] You grab Mazrian's body and drag it east with you . . .<br />
[06:44:30 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:44:30 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:44:30 PM] You also see a faceless watchsoul (calmed), a scavenger giant, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a sturdy brass caddy, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a veteran veteran golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem and a veteran veteran golem.<br />

[06:44:34 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:44:34 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:44:34 PM] You also see a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem (dead), a fiery fissure, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an lava bull (dead), a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem and a sturdy lava golem.<br />

[06:44:37 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:44:37 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[06:44:37 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a large electrical fissure, a rock, a curly tailed black piglet, an ethereal vela'tohr plant, a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a large boulder, a ghostly white banner, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin bowman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), an lava bull and a lava golem.<br />

<br />
[06:45:09 PM] The grating, wraithlike spirit of Mazrian whispers, "will do."<br />
<br />
[06:45:11 PM] [General] Your mind hears Elore thinking, "If anyone else is trying to get up or down the volcano, I'm still hanging out with a gate on standby .. just me and my bagpipes..."<br />

[06:45:22 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces.

[06:45:28 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:45:28 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:45:28 PM] You also see a lava drake, an arrow, a floating vessel of flaring crimson light, a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an arrow, an arrow, some igneous debris in a collapsed section of a circuitous lava spine, an arrow, an arrow, a gaping electrical fissure, an arrow, an arrow, a swirling unnatural fog, an lava bull, a goblin berserker (calmed), a sturdy lava golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin bowman, a stone-throwing imp, a goblin warrior, a new lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem (calmed) and some junk.<br />

[06:45:29 PM] You stand atop the southeast corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The interior of the ridge is a scene of devastation where once molten magma spewed forth, now lying as an expanse of hardened black rock. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. Over the ridge, you have a clear view as far as Arthe Bay in the distance.<br />

[06:45:38 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Shielded Courtyard]<br />
[06:45:38 PM] The center of the caldera plateau is a smooth plain of igneous rock formed from a settled lava lake, painstakingly shaped into a flat ward of igneous rock. Blocking what would be a view of Kermoria in its entirety, a crumbled lava spine serves as a curtain wall that even in its destroyed shape shields this plain from outside interference.<br />

<br />
[06:46:22 PM] Betlind approaches the fortress to touch the lava wall. A small gap breaks away from the rest of the hardened lava, allowing her to slide through. Behind her, molten lava seems to coalesce from the floor and trickle into the gap, reforming to fill the hole.<br />

[06:47:17 PM] You say, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
[06:47:18 PM] Heart Tender Kethrai just arrived.<br />
<br />
[06:47:22 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it southwest with him.<br />
[06:47:22 PM] [Greater Fist, Caldera Plateau]<br />
[06:47:22 PM] You stand atop the southwest corner of a vast volcanic caldera, the breadth of its bowl-like depression a testament to the raw power of the elements' fury. The hardened pyroclastic flow, like frozen chaos, has risen nearly to the caldera's rim, leaving only a subtle dip along the ridge. At its center, the igneous expanse is shaped upward into jagged ridges into a fortress of cooled lava. The darkness of night allows you to see twinkling lights from settlements that stretch from Knife Clan to Ilaya Taipa.<br />
[06:47:22 PM] You also see a lava drake, an arrow, a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an arrow, an arrow, some igneous debris in a collapsed section of a circuitous lava spine, an arrow, an arrow, a gaping electrical fissure, an arrow, an arrow, a goblin warrior (dead), a stone-throwing imp (dead), a goblin warrior (dead), a lava golem, a goblin shaman, an arrow, an arrow, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin shaman, a stone-throwing imp, an ember bull, a goblin warrior, a new lava golem, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin bowman (calmed) and a goblin berserker (calmed).<br />
[06:47:22 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai and Forest Wizard Theale.<br />
[06:47:22 PM] Obvious paths: north, east, down.<br />
<br />
[06:47:22 PM] Theale lingers too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:47:22 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
<br />
[06:47:25 PM] Theale says, "Ugh."<br />
<br />
[06:47:31 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it down with him.<br />
[06:47:31 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:47:31 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:47:31 PM] You also see a lava golem, a new lava golem, an apple, a scavenger giant (stunned), a veteran veteran golem, a goblin mercenary, an apple, a rock, a rock, some grass, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, an arrow, a gold coin, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a tiny yellow-orange star-stone, an arrow, a short bow, a war hammer, some grass, an ebony lion bead, a rock, a large electrical fissure, a scavenger giant, an lava bull, a stone-throwing imp, a goblin warrior, a lava golem and a lava golem.<br />
[06:47:31 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai and High Priestess Khaelyn.<br />
[06:47:31 PM] Obvious paths: northeast.<br />
<br />
[06:47:34 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it northeast with him.<br />
[06:47:35 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:47:35 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:47:35 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, an apple, a copper coin, a rock, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a black gem pouch, a rock, a rock, a sturdy lava golem, a scavenger giant, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin mercenary, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin archer, a new lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a goblin berserker and a goblin bowman.<br />
[06:47:35 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai.<br />
[06:47:35 PM] Obvious paths: east, southwest.<br />
<br />
[06:47:37 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it east with him.<br />
[06:47:37 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:47:37 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:47:37 PM] You also see a lava golem, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a goblin bowman, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, an lava bull, an lava bull, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin bowman, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a veteran lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a scavenger giant, a lava golem and a lava golem.<br />
[06:47:37 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai.<br />
[06:47:37 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
<br />
[06:47:40 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it east with him.<br />
[06:47:40 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:47:40 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />
[06:47:40 PM] You also see a veteran veteran golem (immobile), a fiery fissure, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, an lava bull (prone), a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull (calmed), a veteran lava golem, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a goblin mercenary (calmed), a goblin bowman, a lava golem, an ember bull (calmed), an lava bull and a goblin warrior.<br />
[06:47:40 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai, Dragon Fighter Tweedee and Ale Beard Rhadyn.<br />
[06:47:40 PM] Obvious paths: east, west.<br />
<br />
[06:47:43 PM] Kethrai grabs your body and drags it east with him.<br />
[06:47:43 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:47:43 PM] The trail carefully skirts a broken and scarred rock face as it winds its way around the massive gaping holes of an avalanche in years past. Dangerously perched adjacent to the nearly nonexistent trail, the wooden cart track is supported against the steep mountain wall by a series of wooden beams and shows significant damage -- small rocks lodged between wooden supports, cracked and sometimes absent beams, and shattered wooden slats.<br />
[06:47:43 PM] You also see a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a large electrical fissure, a curly tailed black piglet, an ethereal vela'tohr plant, a large boulder, a ghostly white banner, a lava golem (calmed), a rock, a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), a goblin bowman (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), some grass, a goblin mercenary (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a veteran lava golem (calmed), an apple, a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a goblin berserker (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a goblin shaman (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a lava golem (calmed), a veteran veteran golem (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a goblin archer (calmed), a goblin warrior (calmed), an lava bull (calmed), a sturdy lava golem (calmed), a goblin bowman (calmed) and a cloud of silver-grey mist.<br />
[06:47:43 PM] Also here: Heart Tender Kethrai, a calmed Veteran Apprentice Anuril, a calmed Mazrian, a calmed Phantom Judge Crobin, a calmed Enelne's Voice Nawain, a calmed Brother Harsh, a calmed Community Voice Jaelia, a calmed Sofina and a calmed War Healer Timorias.<br />

<br />
[06:47:44 PM] >say Thank you Kethrai<br />
[06:47:44 PM] You say, "Thank you Kethrai."<br />
<br />
[06:47:45 PM] Mazrian says, "Up the handholds, climb the debris, touch the fortress until you get in...but do it slowly."<br />
<br />
[06:47:46 PM] Jaelia kneels down.<br />
<br />
[06:47:47 PM] Kethrai touches you with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.<br />
[06:47:47 PM] You feel a warmth radiate from Kethrai's touch.<br />
[06:47:47 PM] You have a brief sensation that leaves your wounds tingling.<br />
[06:47:47 PM] Kethrai draws back slightly from you, a look of fear momentarily crossing his face.<br />
<br />
[06:47:51 PM] Mazrian nods to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
[06:47:52 PM] Kethrai pants.<br />
<br />
[06:47:53 PM] Timorias says, "Who can lead and I'll follow."<br />
<br />
[06:47:55 PM] >health<br />
[06:47:55 PM] You are a ghost! You must wait until someone resurrects you, or you decay. Either way, it won't be long now! (HELP for more details).<br />
<br />
[06:47:56 PM] Harsh gestures at you.<br />
[06:47:56 PM] Your body is outlined by a silvery corona as your soul is bonded to it.<br />
<br />
[06:47:59 PM] Harsh quietly says, "Got Dantia."<br />
<br />
[06:48:02 PM] Timorias rests his hand on your arm with a soft smile.<br />
[06:48:02 PM] You feel a warmth radiate from Timorias's touch.<br />
[06:48:02 PM] You have a brief sensation that leaves your wounds tingling.<br />
[06:48:02 PM] Timorias draws back slightly from you, a look of fear momentarily crossing his face.<br />
<br />
[06:48:03 PM] Harsh gestures at you.<br />
[06:48:03 PM] You feel a sense of security as the spell lends additional protection to your fragile memories.<br />
<br />
[06:48:04 PM] >say Thank you Harsh.<br />
[06:48:04 PM] You say, "Thank you Harsh."<br />
<br />
[06:48:04 PM] As Harsh intones a quiet prayer to Damaris, his hands begin to glow faintly silver. He extends a glowing hand towards your body.<br />
[06:48:05 PM] Dark crimson bands of light flow about your body, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into your body. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and you blink dazedly, wobbling on your feet.<br />
[06:48:05 PM] You feel a tingling along the back of your head, barely noticeable as your first breath forces your lungs to expand. Suddenly, a surge of memories from the last moment before your death floods into your thoughts. A mixture of the shock of lost mortality tempered with the relief of your recrudesce fills your conscience. You piece together your fragmented thoughts and are confident that you can still Ward Break and Essence of Yew.<br />
[06:48:05 PM] Roundtime: 5 sec.<br />

[06:48:04 PM] >health<br />

[06:50:27 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:50:27 PM] A sickly yellowish vine curls its leafy fingers around the wooden track beams, occasionally poking itself between the wooden slats and onto the footpath in search of clean sunshine. The atmosphere is fairly choked with smoke and red volcanic dust.<br />

[06:50:30 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:50:30 PM] A treacherously thin winding path comes to a startling end, effectively preventing all downward passage. Instead, travelers must make nimble-footed use of a plank boardwalk, scarcely a Halfling's handspan in width, that follows alongside the weather-worn track braced against the volcano's shoulder. Crumbling bits of rock and dust occasionally fall from the uppermost reaches of the mountain and onto the heads of unhappy travelers.<br />
[06:50:30 PM] You also see a glass of mocha milkshake, a tall chilled glass of Eluned's Elixir, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, some blunt-tipped arrows with marroon stripes, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a goblin bowman, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a veteran lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, an ember bull, a goblin berserker, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a lava golem and a new lava golem.<br />

[06:50:34 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Near Cart Track]<br />
[06:50:34 PM] The narrow shelf curves sharply around the volcano's shoulder, causing the path to run dangerously close to the cart track, and providing dangerous passage for those of generous girth. A breathtaking vista is displayed all around, showing off the desolate desert far to the northwest and the sparkling sea to the northeast.<br />
[06:50:34 PM] You also see a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a copper coin, an arrow, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, a blued steel icicle, an arrow, some boar-tusk arrows, a black gem pouch, a rock, a rock, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin shaman, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin archer, a goblin berserker, a veteran veteran golem, an apple, a scavenger giant, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin warrior, a new lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, an lava bull, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a lava golem, an lava bull, a sturdy lava golem, a stone-throwing imp, a stone-throwing imp, a new lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker and a glass of mocha milkshake.<br />

[06:50:37 PM] [Greater Fist Footpath, Volcano's Peak]<br />
[06:50:37 PM] Blackened and hardened lava flows swirl across the ground, creating bizarre images that look like twisted, anguished faces. Gnarled branches of dead trees reach down, brushing at those doomed forms as if trying to provide comfort. The corroded rails of the cart track stop not far from here in a dead end.<br />
[06:50:37 PM] You also see a glass of mocha milkshake, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, an apple, some precarious handholds ascending to the caldera rim, a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, an obsidian sphere, a short bow, a war hammer, some grass, an ebony lion bead, a rock, an electrical fissure, an lava bull (dead), a lava golem, an apple, a small lapis lazuli, a large piece of amber, a metal oval shield, a razaksel battle axe, a ribbed bone hauberk, some grass, an apple, a veteran veteran golem, a stone-throwing imp, a lava golem, some grass, an lava bull, a lava golem, a scavenger giant, a new lava golem, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a new lava golem, a veteran lava golem, a goblin archer, a sturdy lava golem and some junk.<br />

<br />
[06:51:42 PM] You linger too close to the blazing rain. It looks dangerous.<br />
[06:51:42 PM] Balls of blazing fire continue to descend from a pyroclastic ash cloud, each hurtling down with explosive force!<br />
[06:51:42 PM] The blazing flame-like droplets thankfully miss you!<br />

[06:51:52 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[06:51:52 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Shielded Courtyard]<br />
[06:51:52 PM] The center of the caldera plateau is a smooth plain of igneous rock formed from a settled lava lake, painstakingly shaped into a flat ward of igneous rock. Blocking what would be a view of Kermoria in its entirety, a crumbled lava spine serves as a curtain wall that even in its destroyed shape shields this plain from outside interference.<br />
[06:51:52 PM] You also see the goblin company, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin mercenary, a lava drake, a lava drake, an arrow, an arrow, a lava drake, a lava drake, a lava drake, an arrow, a sturdy lava golem (dead), a pyroclastic ash cloud that blankets the sky, a lava fortress and some junk.<br />

<br />
[06:52:07 PM] Mazrian sighs.<br />
<br />
[06:52:07 PM] >touch fort<br />
[06:52:07 PM] As you approach to touch the fortress, a small gap breaks away from the rest of the hardened lava, allowing you to slide through. When you reach the other side, molten lava seems to coalesce from the floor and trickle into the gap, reforming to fill the hole.<br />
[06:52:07 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Fortress Keep]<br />
[06:52:07 PM] You stand within an open rocky expanse encircled by the jagged walls of the fortress on the precipice of a massive vertical lava channel that dominates the room. Through this hole, you see the shaped form of a colossal lava drake, not yet animated -- so large that only the torso of this citadel's guardian is visible within this chamber. Along its body, large wings of molten rock and pyroclastic debris wrap around it like a large cocoon, while its arms stretch upward and serve as a walkway to the roof.<br />
[06:52:07 PM] You also see a goblin mercenary, a lava drake, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, a veteran lava golem, a goblin warrior, a goblin mercenary, a goblin mercenary, a lava drake, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a lava golem, a goblin shaman, a lava golem, a lava golem, a goblin berserker, a new lava golem, a goblin shaman, a lava golem, a goblin archer, a goblin bowman, a veteran veteran golem, a goblin berserker, a lava golem, a goblin bowman, a lava drake, an ember bull, a stone-throwing imp, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin warrior, a veteran lava golem, a lava golem, an ember bull, a goblin berserker, an ember bull, a new lava golem, a goblin bowman, a goblin bowman, a goblin shaman, a goblin archer, a goblin warrior, a lava drake, a sturdy lava golem, a goblin mercenary, a goblin warrior, a lava golem, an arrow, a lava drake, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin shaman, a goblin berserker, a veteran veteran golem, an ember bull, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, an ember bull, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava drake, a goblin shaman, a goblin mercenary, a goblin shaman, a goblin shaman, a goblin archer, a lava golem, a lava drake, an ember bull, a goblin shaman, an ember bull, a goblin warrior, a stone-throwing imp, a goblin mercenary, a veteran veteran golem, a veteran veteran golem, a surrounding fortress wall, an inanimate drake arm that serves as a ramp up to the battlements, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, an lava bull, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem, a veteran veteran golem, a lava golem, a sturdy lava golem, a lava golem, a lava golem and some other stuff.<br />

[06:52:45 PM] A nearly painful prickling sensation surges through you as your protective healing matrix focuses on the worst hurts to your body.<br />

[06:52:58 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Fortress Battlements]<br />
[06:52:58 PM] Atop the jagged lava fortress battlements, you have an unobstructed view as far north as the Gemfire Mountains and as far south as the Dragon's Spine. Ridged igneous formations serve as crenelations protecting the roof. The head of the inanimate lava drake at the center of this fortress is postured vertically with its maw wide, the ridge of each massive tooth easily ten hands high.<br />
[06:52:58 PM] You also see the goblin unit, a goblin shaman, an ember bull (dead), a sturdy lava golem, a lava drake, a new lava golem, a circle of heavy earthen ballistae and a gargantuan lava drake head with its maw open wide.<br />
[06:52:58 PM] Obvious paths: down.<br />
<br />
[06:53:02 PM] >climb head<br />
[06:53:02 PM] You approach the open mouth of the lava drake. Bracing yourself on the large stone lip, you hoist yourself between two of the immobile beast's massive teeth, only to find that there is no purchase on the interior.<br />
[06:53:02 PM] Without a steady surface, you find yourself plunging downward into a dark chasm that is the interior of the drake, sliding down a prolongued tongue until you find yourself inside what must be its stomach.<br />
[06:53:02 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[06:53:02 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins. Molten rock that clings to the walls has faint striations of still-cooling lava. Ridged lava flows lead upward toward the esophagus of the beast, and you believe you can climb them to exit the maw. In the center of what you suspect would be the diaphragm, a single pillar of obsidian extrudes into a sphere, and a pattern of dormant runes are carved into its surface.<br />
[06:53:02 PM] You also see a broken silver chain and some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />
[06:53:02 PM] Also here: Knight of Meraud Tirost, Bird Hunter Sozinho, Black Dog Maintain, Shield of Starlight Betlind, Blunt Traumatizer Allye and Sir Madigan.<br />

[06:56:26 PM] You approach the open mouth of the lava drake. Bracing yourself on the large stone lip, you hoist yourself between two of the immobile beast's massive teeth, only to find that there is no purchase on the interior.<br />
[06:56:26 PM] Without a steady surface, you find yourself plunging downward into a dark chasm that is the interior of the drake, sliding down a prolongued tongue until you find yourself inside what must be its stomach.<br />
[06:56:26 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[06:56:26 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins. Molten rock that clings to the walls has faint striations of still-cooling lava. Ridged lava flows lead upward toward the esophagus of the beast, and you believe you can climb them to exit the maw. In the center of what you suspect would be the diaphragm, a single pillar of obsidian extrudes into a sphere, and a pattern of dormant runes are carved into its surface.<br />
[06:56:26 PM] You also see a broken silver chain and some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />

[07:01:46 PM] A heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock into the air!<br />
[07:01:46 PM] The heavy earthen ballista grinds with the sound of stone on stone as a large rock rises up from within it and sets itself atop the launching device.<br />
<br />
[07:01:46 PM] >chuckle<br />
[07:01:47 PM] You chuckle.<br />
<br />
[07:01:56 PM] Betlind says, "And no time off for good behavior."<br />
<br />
[07:01:57 PM] Betlind sighs.<br />
<br />
[07:02:12 PM] Madigan says, "The pay is great though."<br />
<br />
[07:02:16 PM] Mazrian says, "Good behavior just means you've got moer time for work."<br />
<br />
[07:02:18 PM] Tirost laughingly says, "Not that'd Mazrian would know about that."<br />
<br />
[07:02:19 PM] Betlind asks, "We get paid?"<br />
<br />
[07:02:26 PM] A heavy earthen ballista shudders slightly and makes a noisy thrumming as it launches a large rock into the air!<br />
[07:02:26 PM] The heavy earthen ballista grinds with the sound of stone on stone as a large rock rises up from within it and sets itself atop the launching device.<br />
<br />
[07:02:29 PM] >say I'm going to investigate some more.<br />
[07:02:29 PM] You say, "I'm going to investigate some more."<br />
<br />
[07:02:30 PM] >climb head<br />
[07:02:31 PM] You approach the open mouth of the lava drake. Bracing yourself on the large stone lip, you hoist yourself between two of the immobile beast's massive teeth, only to find that there is no purchase on the interior.<br />
[07:02:31 PM] Without a steady surface, you find yourself plunging downward into a dark chasm that is the interior of the drake, sliding down a prolongued tongue until you find yourself inside what must be its stomach.<br />
[07:02:31 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[07:02:31 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins. Molten rock that clings to the walls has faint striations of still-cooling lava. Ridged lava flows lead upward toward the esophagus of the beast, and you believe you can climb them to exit the maw. In the center of what you suspect would be the diaphragm, a single pillar of obsidian extrudes into a sphere, and a pattern of dormant runes are carved into its surface.<br />
[07:02:31 PM] You also see a broken silver chain and some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />
[07:02:31 PM] Also here: Warlord Krenze.<br />
[07:02:31 PM] Obvious exits: none.<br />
<br />
[07:02:34 PM] >climb flow<br />
[07:02:34 PM] Your rock makes the climb more difficult.<br />
[07:02:34 PM] [Goblin's Folly, Fortress Battlements]<br />
[07:02:34 PM] Atop the jagged lava fortress battlements, you have an unobstructed view as far north as the Gemfire Mountains and as far south as the Dragon's Spine. Ridged igneous formations serve as crenelations protecting the roof. The head of the inanimate lava drake at the center of this fortress is postured vertically with its maw wide, the ridge of each massive tooth easily ten hands high.<br />
[07:02:34 PM] You also see a medium brass bar, an arrow, an arrow, a veteran veteran golem (dead), a veteran veteran golem (prone), a veteran veteran golem, a pyroclastic ash cloud, a new lava golem, a circle of heavy earthen ballistae and a gargantuan lava drake head with its maw open wide.<br />
[07:02:34 PM] Also here: Blunt Traumatizer Allye, Knight of Meraud Tirost, Bird Hunter Sozinho, Sir Madigan, Shield of Starlight Betlind, Mazrian and Black Dog Maintain.<br />
[07:02:34 PM] Obvious paths: down.<br />

<br />
[07:02:39 PM] >point head<br />

<br />
[07:02:44 PM] Goblin Bait Tathalus just arrived.<br />
<br />
[07:02:46 PM] Madigan says, "MOving to the head."<br />
<br />
[07:02:48 PM] Madigan climbs on to the lip of the massive lava drake, up between two of the beast's giant teeth, before disappearing inside its mouth.<br />
<br />
[07:02:50 PM] Black Wing Lanikarou just arrived.<br />
<br />
[07:02:50 PM] >climb head<br />
[07:02:50 PM] You approach the open mouth of the lava drake. Bracing yourself on the large stone lip, you hoist yourself between two of the immobile beast's massive teeth, only to find that there is no purchase on the interior.<br />
[07:02:51 PM] Without a steady surface, you find yourself plunging downward into a dark chasm that is the interior of the drake, sliding down a prolongued tongue until you find yourself inside what must be its stomach.<br />
[07:02:51 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[07:02:51 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins.

<br />
[07:02:53 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Come here bugger."<br />
<br />
[07:02:53 PM] >touch madi<br />
[07:02:53 PM] You touch Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Madigan.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Madigan's injuries.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] Madigan's injuries include...<br />
[07:02:53 PM] ... no injuries to speak of.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] Madigan has normal vitality.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Allye's empathic conduit.<br />
[07:02:53 PM] You sense nothing wrong with Madigan.<br />
<br />
[07:02:53 PM] Lanikarou slides unceremoniously down the lava drake's tongue, arriving in the belly of the beast.<br />
<br />
[07:02:54 PM] Madigan closes to melee range on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:02:55 PM] >say Get him!<br />
[07:02:55 PM] You exclaim into the darkness, "Get him!"<br />
[07:02:55 PM] <br />
[07:02:55 PM] Betlind joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[07:02:57 PM] Lanikarou pants.<br />
<br />
[07:02:57 PM] Krenze laughs!<br />
<br />
[07:02:58 PM] >adv krenz<br />
[07:02:58 PM] The lingering effects of your Innocence spell fade away.<br />
[07:02:58 PM] You begin to advance on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:03:01 PM] You close to melee range on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:03:02 PM] Lanikarou falls over.<br />
[07:03:02 PM] <br />
[07:03:02 PM] Lanikarou rolls around on the ground. Typical.<br />
<br />
[07:03:03 PM] Lanikarou leaps to her feet!<br />
<br />
[07:03:05 PM] Allye slides unceremoniously down the lava drake's tongue, arriving in the belly of the beast.<br />
<br />
[07:03:05 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice ask, "Is this safe, or...?"<br />
<br />
[07:03:07 PM] Allye joins Madigan's group.<br />
[07:03:07 PM] <br />
[07:03:07 PM] Betlind casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
[07:03:07 PM] Lanikarou dusts herself off.<br />
<br />
[07:03:10 PM] Madigan traces an odd shape in the air with his finger and frowns when nothing happens.<br />
<br />
[07:03:10 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Yeah..."<br />
<br />
[07:03:12 PM] Betlind nods.<br />
[07:03:12 PM] <br />
[07:03:13 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "I've made sure it's safe."<br />
<br />
[07:03:14 PM] >grunt<br />
[07:03:14 PM] You make a grunting noise.<br />
<br />
[07:03:17 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Hey Krenze, this was......a humdinger."<br />
<br />
[07:03:22 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Evening Krenze."<br />
<br />
[07:03:23 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Had tried to banner it but it already felt pretty peaceful."<br />
<br />
[07:03:32 PM] >say You know we can't allow you to continue this... project.<br />
[07:03:32 PM] You say into the darkness, "You know we can't allow you to continue this... project."<br />

<br />
[07:03:52 PM] Maintain slides unceremoniously down the lava drake's tongue, arriving in the belly of the beast.<br />
<br />

<br />
[07:03:58 PM] Maintain joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[07:03:59 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice ask, "You know you're inside its stomach, right?"<br />
<br />
[07:04:21 PM] Betlind traces an odd shape in the air with her finger and frowns when nothing happens.<br />
<br />
[07:04:26 PM] >look flow<br />
[07:04:26 PM] Pyroclastic flows that have since hardened form convenient handholds, and are so defined that they resemble a long flight of stairs heading upward.<br />
<br />
[07:04:28 PM] The voice of Krenze reverberates across the cyclopean chamber of the lava drake's interior, filling the cavern of cooling stone such that the goblin's speech appears to be coming from every direction at once. Atop a single pillar in its center, a smooth sphere with dormant runes stands ominously, with the goblin's hand resting comfortably on it.<br />
<br />
[07:04:28 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "So, Koala Man gave me a great idea. See, he told me you found a way into another plane. So, I figured, there's gotta be one for fire, right? Why not make my own rift with burning and fire and all of the best parts of a party all at once, and use it to make sure this big ol' drake can breathe fire when I launch it? All I got to do is..."<br />
<br />
[07:04:29 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Well..darn."<br />
<br />
[07:04:48 PM] >glance madi<br />
[07:04:48 PM] You glance at Madigan, a male Human.<br />
<br />
[07:04:48 PM] Allye frowns.<br />
<br />
[07:04:54 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Ahh...Mazrian."<br />
<br />
[07:04:57 PM] Before finishing his sentence, and the runes on the sphere ignite with a blazing light that fills the chamber. The runes slowly begin spinning, and the sphere lifts into the air, in motion. Your perception of time and space begin wavering, as moments seem to intermittenly span an eternity. Distances close to the sphere distort, rippling and twisting in a pattern like tongues of flame in the center of the chamber. Krenze begins channeling, and as the sphere tears itself into a rift to the Elemental Plane of Fire, the gargantuan construct surrounding you rumbles and writhes as it is brought to life. The goblin cackles.<br />
<br />
[07:04:57 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "You thought I was going to give a big ol' speech and let you interrupt my plan. Now, even if I die, Fire's going to be here, and my own Dragon's gonna lift up, eat you all, and probably skoosh your little towns and stuff. Probably someone's grandma. And now? Now I'm gonna skoosh you once and for all."<br />
<br />
[07:05:03 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice ask, "Add naptha?"<br />
<br />
[07:05:09 PM] Allye twitches an ear nervously.<br />
<br />
[07:05:22 PM] Black Dog Maintain climbed up some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />
<br />
[07:05:26 PM] From the darkness you hear a calm voice say, "Gads."<br />
<br />
[07:05:27 PM] Betlind growls ferociously!<br />
<br />
[07:05:28 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "That's... not great."<br />
<br />
[07:05:31 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Jokes on you, My grandma is dead."<br />
<br />
[07:05:37 PM] Krenze lobs a burning hammer roiling with flame at Madigan. <br />
[07:05:37 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[07:05:37 PM] >look sphere<br />
[07:05:38 PM] You see nothing unusual.<br />
<br />
[07:05:42 PM] >look<br />
[07:05:42 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[07:05:42 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins. Molten rock that clings to the walls has faint striations of still-cooling lava. Ridged lava flows lead upward toward the esophagus of the beast, and you believe you can climb them to exit the maw. In the center of what you suspect would be the diaphragm, a single pillar of obsidian extrudes into a sphere, and a pattern of dormant runes are carved into its surface.<br />

[07:05:42 PM] Mazrian slides unceremoniously down the lava drake's tongue, arriving in the belly of the beast.<br />
<br />
[07:05:43 PM] Betlind begins to advance on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:05:44 PM] >glance krenz<br />
[07:05:44 PM] You glance at Krenze, a male Goblin.<br />
<br />
[07:05:45 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his left arm shatter!<br />
[07:05:45 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[07:05:45 PM] Madigan slices a massive agonite-bladed zweihander balanced by a silver dragon-shaped hilt at Krenze. The zweihander lands a glancing strike to his left arm! <br />
<br />
[07:05:45 PM] Betlind closes to melee range on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:05:46 PM] Tathalus begins to advance on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:05:47 PM] Betlind feints an elegant haledroth tachi with a silversteel butterfly tsuba at Krenze. The tachi suddenly cries out Justice! as it flares white hot and lands a brushing hit to his chest! <br />
<br />
[07:05:48 PM] Betlind draws an elegant haledroth tachi with a silversteel butterfly tsuba at Krenze. <br />
<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Mazrian joins Madigan's group.<br />
<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Suddenly a breeze swirls past you, surrounding Krenze and spinning outward from his body to form a miniature tornado. Krenze throws his hand up and the winds explode outward! The winds suddenly ignite into a ring of brightly burning fire that swirls outward from Krenze.<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Betlind manages to deflect the ring of fire with her majestic aegis!<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Tathalus miraculously avoids being struck by the the ring of fire!<br />
[07:05:49 PM] You feel a wash of heat as a spell shatters against your ward.<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Madigan manages to deflect the ring of fire with his tower shield!<br />
<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his left leg shatter!<br />
[07:05:49 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[07:05:49 PM] Madigan draws a massive agonite-bladed zweihander balanced by a silver dragon-shaped hilt at Krenze. The zweihander lands a glancing blow to his left leg! <br />
<br />

<br />

[07:05:53 PM] Madigan draws a massive agonite-bladed zweihander balanced by a silver dragon-shaped hilt at Krenze. The zweihander lands a skimming strike to his abdomen! <br />
<br />
[07:05:53 PM] >touch madi<br />
[07:05:53 PM] You touch Madigan with a confident grace and heartfelt smile.<br />
[07:05:53 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Madigan.<br />
[07:05:53 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Madigan's injuries.<br />
[07:05:53 PM] Madigan's injuries include...<br />
[07:05:53 PM] ... no injuries to speak of.<br />
[07:05:53 PM] Madigan is suffering from an insignificant loss of vitality (1%).<br />
[07:05:53 PM] (Madigan has 99% vitality remaining.)<br />
[07:05:53 PM] He is insignificantly tired.<br />
[07:05:53 PM] You sense the gentle ebb and flow of Allye's empathic conduit.<br />

[07:05:54 PM] Krenze's burning hammer lands an extremely heavy hit to Madigan's abdomen!<br />

[07:08:30 PM] Krenze is obscured as the intricate matrices of crystals around his chest shatter!<br />
[07:08:30 PM] Tirost's javelin lands a light hit that collapses the ribcage and bursts the diaphragm in a messy splattering of bloody pink froth. <br />
[07:08:30 PM] The electric javelin lands at Tirost's feet.<br />
<br />
[07:08:30 PM] The burning hammer returns to Krenze's hand.<br />
<br />
[07:08:31 PM] The sphere surrounding Krenze thrums with energy and he seems somehow empowered.<br />
[07:08:31 PM] Tathalus's axe lands a light hit that explodes the heart and lungs with a bone-shattering blow to the chest. <br />

[07:08:36 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice exclaim, "Nice!"<br />
<br />
[07:08:37 PM] Shadow Father Somniumvisum climbed up some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />
<br />
[07:08:39 PM] >look<br />
[07:08:39 PM] [Goblin's Folly, The Belly of the Beast]<br />
[07:08:39 PM] Inside what must be the gut of the lava drake, you are surrounded by darkened igneous rock streaked with metallic veins. Molten rock that clings to the walls has faint striations of still-cooling lava. Ridged lava flows lead upward toward the esophagus of the beast, and you believe you can climb them to exit the maw. In the center of what you suspect would be the diaphragm, a single pillar of obsidian extrudes into a sphere, and a pattern of dormant runes are carved into its surface.<br />
[07:08:39 PM] You also see an enormous electrical fissure and some ridged lava flows that ascend to the lava drake's maw.<br />
[07:08:39 PM] Also here: Enelne's Voice Nawain, Paragon of Virtue Raikage, Phantom Judge Crobin, Bird Hunter Sozinho, Brother Harsh, Black Dog Maintain, Chronicler Arumis, Mage Slayer Golameth, Knight of Meraud Tirost, Mazrian, Blunt Traumatizer Allye, Black Wing Lanikarou, Shield of Starlight Betlind, Goblin Bait Tathalus, Sir Madigan and the body of Warlord Krenze (prone).<br />
[07:08:39 PM] Obvious exits: none.<br />

<br />
[07:08:44 PM] Nawain thumbs her nose a few times in Krenze's direction.<br />

[07:08:45 PM] You ask into the darkness, "Krenze, how do we turn this thing off?"<br />
<br />
[07:08:49 PM] * Krenze's corps burns into a fine pile of ash, before the outline of a flame expands from his body. He is restored from death, a cackle causing his mouth to shape into a wicked grin. His eyes burn like a flame.<br />
<br />
[07:08:59 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Uh oh."<br />
<br />
[07:09:02 PM] Betlind blinks.<br />

<br />
[07:09:04 PM] >look krenze<br />
[07:09:04 PM] You see Warlord Krenze, a Goblin Fire Shaman.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] Krenze has a round face with heavy jowls, pointed ears, piercing cat-slitted amber eyes and a wart-tipped nose. He is bald, with leathery skin and a scrawny build.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He is tiny for a goblin.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He is young for a goblin.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He has an electric javelin lodged shallowly into his abdomen, an electric javelin lodged firmly into his chest, an electric javelin lodged shallowly into his right arm, an electric javelin lodged shallowly into his left leg, an electric javelin lodged shallowly into his left leg, an electric javelin lodged just barely into his left leg, an electric javelin lodged shallowly into his chest, an electric javelin lodged just barely into his left arm.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He is in good shape.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He is holding a burning hammer roiling with flame in his right hand and a lava-formed obsidian shield in his left.<br />
[07:09:04 PM] He is wearing a blood red headdress of sculpted leather and bone, a lava-formed obsidian helm with wicked spikes, some colorful beaded earrings, a hooded journeyman's cloak made of dark hides and lined with black fur, a lava-formed obsidian carapace, a scorched calling card dispenser of sculpted leather and bone, an oversized obsidian fist striated with magma veins, an empty familiar leash, a moldy green bota with several bite-marks, a mammoth tusk warhorn engraved with a volley of arrows and some grey leather boots with folded black fur cuffs.<br />

<br />
[07:09:08 PM] Arumis closes to melee range on Krenze.<br />

<br />
[07:09:09 PM] Betlind begins to advance on Krenze.<br />
[07:09:09 PM] Madigan gestures at Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:09:10 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "You can't fight the fire," he coughs. He staggers toward the rift. With a gesture, he widens it, and as he approaches, his form appears to distort and twist, his fingers lengthening like talons that quiver and flicker. Now, he stands at the entrance to the rift, conjuring flame that wraps around his tiny body. "And now, you're all going to join me in joyous flame."<br />
<br />
[07:09:10 PM] Harsh begins to focus intently on Krenze.<br />
<br />
[07:09:12 PM] Not having any room, Betlind stops advancing on Krenze.<br />

<br />
[07:09:19 PM] >touch naw<br />
[07:09:19 PM] You touch Nawain with a confident grace.<br />
[07:09:19 PM] You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Nawain.<br />
[07:09:19 PM] You feel the burning fire of pain and suffering building slowly as you instinctively draw out the truth behind Nawain's injuries.<br />
[07:09:19 PM] Nawain's injuries include...<br />
[07:09:19 PM] Wounds to the BACK:<br />
[07:09:19 PM] Fresh External: light scratches -- insignificant<br />

<br />
[07:09:22 PM] Roundtime: 15 sec.<br />
<br />
[07:09:24 PM] The construct surrounding you continues to quiver. You feel the rock shudder around you as it breaks its way free of supports. The chamber around you feels as if it begins to plummet downward. Krenze cackles, staggering to sustain his footing, remaining mindful of the elemental rift. Harnessing the winds to his will, he throws his hand up and a gale explodes outward! With only the slightest thought he ignites the expanding air, sending a ring of brightly burning fire swirling out about the chamber.<br />
<br />
[07:09:26 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Push the maw."<br />
<br />
[07:09:29 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Oh my."<br />
<br />
[07:09:30 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Oh my."<br />
<br />
[07:09:36 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice ask, "Yes, I realize that. Where do you want triage to be from here?"<br />
<br />
07:09:41 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Push the maw."<br />
<br />
[07:09:43 PM] Roundtime: 15 sec.<br />
<br />
[07:09:43 PM] Gaining momentum, the massive lava drake launches itself upward, but fails to find purchase. Krenze staggers and falls toward the rift, losing his footing. The gale force forces you out of the belly. You are blown upward and out of the volcano, throwing you to clear to the base of the fist.<br />
<br />
[07:09:48 PM] From the darkness you hear a voice say, "Oh boy."<br />
<br />
[07:09:48 PM] Allye frowns.<br />

<br />
[07:10:01 PM] From the darkness you hear a slow voice say, "Gads."<br />
<br />
[07:10:03 PM] From the top of the Greater Fist, you watch as the gargantuan lava drake begins writhing, tearing the spire to the ground as it scrambles to find purchase, collapsing into the volcano itself. The impact sends a shockwave out from the mountain, tossing you into the foothills! The constructed caldera appears to collapse in on the top of the ridge, burying the beast and Krenze within. You pause, expecting the construct to escape, but after minutes, you are confident that Krenze is gone, the only remnant of his threat the fine, powdery ash that fills Zoluren and Therengia.<br />
<br />

You see Pretorius, Iron Chronicler of Elanthia, a Human.<br />
<br />
Pretorius has an angular face with laugh lines, silver-flecked steely grey eyes, an aquiline nose and dimples. His blue-black hair is shoulder length and wavy, and is worn pulled back in a loose ponytail bound with a luminous braided wire of moonsilver and sungold. He has tanned skin and a wiry build.<br />
<br />
He is a bit over average height for a Human.<br />
<br />
He appears to be in his prime.<br />
<br />
He is in good shape.<br />
<br />
He is wearing wearing a loosely fitting imperial weave fighting shirt with an eventide moonstone clasp, a pair of tenebrous crimson dragon-hide dueling gloves fit with icesteel buckles, a pair of dark imperial weave pants with diamond-hide straps buckled by sungold, an icesteel armguard shaped like a snarling dragon, a pair of drake-winged boots composed of tenebrous black diamond-hide, a shimmering sapphire blue diamond-hide belt with an icesteel dragon buckle, a utility bag reinforced with diamond-hide lining, a glowing silverwood case inlaid with sungold and blackened moonsilver, a striking icesilk kit with a trio of tempest sapphire lockpicks, a luminous lockpick wristcuff of braided moonsilver strands, a diamond-hide leather lootbag, a twisted oath ring of sandstone and silvered glass, a thick agonite earcuff inlaid with xenomite fragments, a tiny murder crow charm and a deeply-cowled black dragonar mantle lined with tenebrous crimson diamond-hide.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Background:'''<br />
<br />
Pretorius of Theren, destined for the shadows yet illuminated by loyalty, weaves a compelling tale in the fantastical realm of Elanthia. Born to humble origins in the verdant, mystical expanse of Theren, a land where the whispers of ancient magic still echo through the towering forests and undulating hills, Pretorius was marked by fate with a name that hinted at both nobility and challenge.<br />
<br />
His journey took a pivotal turn when his family, seeking fortunes or perhaps fleeing destiny, moved to the Crossing. It was there, amidst the bustling streets and chaotic blend of cultures, that tragedy struck, leaving young Pretorius an orphan. The Crossing's slums became both his crucible and his home. Here, in the labyrinthine alleys and shadowed corners, Pretorius found his calling in the art of thievery—yet it was not merely survival that shaped his path but a deeper, unyielding sense of loyalty.<br />
<br />
Pretorius grew under the tutelage of the shadows, his fingers becoming as adept at picking locks as his mind was at unraveling the puzzles of the human heart. Despite the harshness of his environment and the moral ambiguity of his profession, Pretorius clung to a code of honor unseen in the daylight realms. He was a beacon of unwavering loyalty to his friends, a man who would traverse through fire and time to aid those he called kin. His word, once given, was as solid as the ancient oaks of Theren.<br />
<br />
Yet, to his enemies, Pretorius was a dragon, fearsome and relentless. He harbored no mercy for those who crossed him or threatened what he held dear. In the darkness, his enemies whispered tales of a shadow that could not be caught, a thief who struck with the precision of a dragon's claw and the swiftness of a gusting wind.<br />
<br />
Pretorius's journey is one of duality, a balance between light and shadow. His adventures are myriad, spanning the hidden depths of Elanthia's most forbidden vaults to the dazzling heights of its courtly intrigues. Yet, through it all, his heart remains steadfast—loyal to his friends, a terror to his foes, and ever in pursuit of that which lies just beyond the reach of the ordinary.<br />
<br />
In the realm of Elanthia, Pretorius's name becomes a legend whispered on the wind. It is the story of a boy from Theren who embraced the darkness to bring light to those he loved. His tale is one of betrayal and friendship, of loss and triumph—a reminder that even in a world brimming with magic, the greatest power lies in the human heart.<br />

Setne Inhetep of Elanthia, a Human, was born and raised in a humble village in the vast desert expanse near Muspar'I. From a young age, Setne displayed a natural affinity for the arcane arts, drawing the villagers' attention with his innate connection to magic. His parents, simple farmers, observed with pride as their son's abilities grew, recognizing the spark of divine potential within him.<br />
<br />
As Setne matured, he felt a calling deep within his soul, a beckoning to serve a higher purpose. Guided by visions and dreams, he embarked on a spiritual journey, seeking out the temple of Meraud, the immortal god of magic and wisdom. There, amidst the ancient halls of knowledge, Setne found his true calling as a cleric devoted to the service of Meraud.<br />
<br />
Under the tutelage of the temple's elders, Setne honed his skills in the arcane arts, mastering the intricate rituals and sacred incantations of divine magic. His bald head, adorned with the symbols of Meraud's favor, shone with a radiant glow, a testament to his unwavering faith and dedication to his deity.<br />
<br />

His towering stature and commanding presence inspired awe and reverence among those who crossed his path, while his compassionate heart and unwavering courage earned him the respect of allies and adversaries alike.<br />
<br />
Though the desert winds whispered tales of ancient mysteries and forgotten powers, Setne remained steadfast in his mission, ever vigilant in his duty to uphold the sanctity of magic and safeguard the realm from harm. As a beacon of hope in a world fraught with peril, Setne Inhetep of Elanthia stood as a shining example of divine grace and mortal valor, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human soul.</div>RAISHIhttps://elanthipedia.play.net/KelloryKellory2024-03-14T03:46:32Z<p>RAISHI: adding additional portrait</p>

You are Kellory Dweomercraefter of Elanthia, an Elf.<br />
You have an angular face, pointed ears, silver-flecked violet eyes, a classical nose and dimples. Your silver hair is long and fine, and is worn braided in a regal coronet threaded with a sleek cord of braided nightsilk knotted with scoundrel's diamonds. You have fair skin and an athletic build.<br />
You are tall for an Elf.<br />
A dark moonstone that resembles Katamba floats lazily around your head, glowing with a lustrous sheen against your skin.<br />
You are young.<br />
You are in good shape.<br />
<br />
You are wearing an eldritch sanowret crystal set within a loimic tomiek-iguji broodling, a pair of Imperial weave fighting pants lined with diamond-hide, an assassin's Imperial weave coat lined with diamond-hide, a diamond-hide ceremonial shield trimmed in softly glowing blued moonsilver, a luminescent ouroboros band of sungold and blued moonsilver, a pair of black diamond-hide boots with radiant sungold wings, a sophisticated wildlace pocket with a luminescent crimson moonsilver clasp, a witch ball, a shimmering midnight black faeweave sash clasped with a sungold and moonsilver medallion, a smooth mask of lilac moonsilver, a hooded lotusweave longcoat edged with eerie blackened moonsilver constellations, a luminous lockpick wristcuff of braided moonsilver strands, a cambrinth river boa snakelet with glossy imbricated scales, a black songsilk fateweaver's satchel limned with a glowing moonsilver web, a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame and a pallid dreamstone ouroboros fretted into a knot.<br />
<br />
Celestial Heritage:<br />
<br />
From his earliest days, Kellory was different. The silver-flecked violet of his eyes mirrored the night sky, and the dark moonstone that floated lazily around him symbolized his innate connection to the celestial realm. It was said among the villagers that the moonstone was a gift from the heavens themselves, a marker of his future as a Moon Mage destined to wield the mysteries of the celestial.<br />
<br />
Training and Discovery:<br />
<br />
Kellory's upbringing was steeped in the lore of the moon and stars. His parents, both scholars of celestial phenomena, guided his first steps in understanding the rhythms of the cosmos. As Kellory grew, so did his thirst for knowledge. He spent countless nights under the open sky, learning to read the stories written in the stars, deciphering the secrets of lunar phases, and drawing on the power they bestowed.<br />
<br />
His training was not confined to the academic. The village elders, sensing the potential within him, taught him the ancient arts of the Moon Mages, a discipline that blended magic with the celestial forces. Kellory learned to harness the moon's energy to cast spells, predict futures, and, most uniquely, bend the moon's light to his will, creating illusions indistinguishable from reality.<br />
<br />
The Journey Begins:<br />
<br />
Kellory's destiny was not to remain in the safety of his village—the world beyond called to him, a whisper on the wind that spoke of a greater purpose. With mastery over celestial magic burgeoning, Kellory left his home, guided by the stars and the mysterious pull of his moonstone.<br />
<br />
His travels took him to the great city of Shard and beyond, into the heart of Elanthia. He encountered creatures of darkness, remnants of an age when magic ran untamed and wild. With each challenge, Kellory's powers grew, as did his understanding of the delicate balance between light and dark, between the celestial and the terrestrial.<br />

You are Frost of Elanthia, an Elf.<br />
<br />
You have a square-jawed face, pointed ears, sparkling violet eyes, an aquiline nose and dimples. Your snow-white-streaked blue-black hair is long and fine, and is worn tied back in an elegant chignon held in place by an aldamdin hairband with a faceted night diamond. You have fair skin and an athletic build.<br />
<br />
You are tall for an Elf.<br />
<br />
You are young.<br />
<br />
You are in good shape.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You are wearing a Dwarven iron bracer studded with kertig spikes, an icesteel coiled dragon band, a braided armure anklet dangling spherical-shaped vengeance ruby charms, an etched frozen-bone wristcuff, a dull serpent earcuff, a demonbone wrist knife with a blackened edge, a weatherproofed leather war wizard's pack, a war wizard's utility belt set with a vibrant yellow spiritgem, a translucent mistglass tetrahedron, a pair of thornweave trousers reinforced by heavy golden stitching, a long sky blue tunic wrapped in a veil of soft mists, a war wizard's heavy grey steelsilk longcoat, a hoarfrost white sanowret crystal, a watered steel sigilated ring ensconced with pure white spiritwood, some gryphon winged black goblin skin riding boots with engraved kertig toecaps and an ornate niello ring.<br />
<br />
<br />
Background:<br />
<br />
In the enchanted realm of Elanthia, where magic flows like the breath of the wind and mysteries lurk in every shadow, a young forest elf named Frost exists. Born beneath the ancient boughs of Sana'ati trees in a small village nestled deep within the verdant embrace of the forest, Frost's story begins amidst the whispering leaves and murmuring streams of his homeland.<br />
<br />
From a young age, Frost was keenly interested in the mystical energies that permeated his world. While other elven children frolicked amidst the dappled sunlight, Frost could often be lost in quiet contemplation, attuning himself to the subtle rhythms of nature and the elemental forces that swirled through the air.<br />
<br />
Frost's talents blossomed as he grew older, and he found himself drawn to studying elemental magic. Under the tutelage of the village's wise elders and the guidance of the elemental spirits that inhabited the Sana'ati trees, Frost honed his skills in manipulating Aether, Electricity, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, learning to harness the raw power of these elements to his will.<br />
<br />
But Frost was not alone in his journey. Gildor, a fuzzy black sun bear who had become his loyal familiar, trotted by his side. With his gentle yet fierce demeanor, Gildor was a constant companion to Frost, offering both companionship and protection as they ventured forth into the world beyond their village.<br />
<br />
With each passing year, Frost felt the pull of the wider world growing stronger, beckoning him to journey beyond the familiar borders of his homeland and explore the wonders that lay beyond. And so, with Gildor at his side and a heart filled with anticipation, Frost set forth into the unknown.<br />
<br />
Their journey would take them across sweeping plains and towering mountains, through ancient forests and forgotten ruins, as Frost sought to test his skills against the myriad challenges that awaited him. Along the way, he would encounter allies and adversaries alike, each offering lessons to be learned and trials to be overcome.<br />
<br />
But through it all, Frost and Gildor would remain steadfast in their bond, drawing strength from each other as they forged a path that would lead them to greatness. For in the magical realm of Elanthia, where the line between reality and myth is blurred, the journey of a young forest elf and his loyal sun bear familiar is just beginning, and the adventures that await them are as boundless as the stars in the night sky. <br />
<br />
<br />
Familiar:<br />
<br />
Gildor the fuzzy black sun bear with patches of golden fur <br />
<br />
<br />
Reddish-gold fur works its way up the bear's snout to surround a pair of dark chocolate eyes that stare back into your own. A matching heart-shaped patch of fur is centered on the bear's chest.<br />

You are wearing a leather thigh bag heavily-beaded in cambrinth with the image of a fierce panther, a pugilist's armguard of layered black steel plates, a black darkspine case wrapped in dangling golden chains, a deeply-hooded camouflage longcoat of dark blues and greys, an elaborate mistsilk kit adorned with night diamond panthers, a coarse punka coat with a reinforced design, some scratched bronze heavy plate greaves, some lumium scale gloves, a lumium ring helm, a light lumium plate mask, a rowan pilgrim's badge depicting the Misenseor Abbey, a braided cord rosary strung with several wooden beads, a small silversteel cowbell etched with daisy garlands along the rim, a black diamond-studded ceremonial shield emblazoned with a burgundy raven, a black gem pouch, a twisted glaes prayer bead chain adorned with faceted diamond beads, a silver jadeite gwethdesuan, a hexagonal cambrinth prism suspended from a long electrum chain, some winged taupe leather boots, a swirling eddy of incandescent light bound by a gold-striated coralite frame, an ornate niello ring, a luminous lockpick wristcuff of braided moonsilver strands, a blue-lacquered ghast skull, a vibrant golden apple of polished lava sphalerite, a thin e'erdream ring bereft of decoration and a demonbone wrist knife with a blackened edge.<br />
<br />
Background:<br />
<br />
In the mystical realm of Elanthia, where magic dances through the air and divine influence weaves through the fabric of existence, there exists a cleric whose journey through life has been as remarkable as the powers they wield. Born beneath the twilight sky of the city of Crossing, nestled amidst ancient forests and soaring peaks, this cleric's name is Camwolf, Iron Chronicler of Elanthia.<br />
<br />
Camwolf's childhood was marked by an unusual affinity for the divine, even from the earliest moments of his youth. Raised within the confines of the Temple of the Thirteen Aspects, he was surrounded by the teachings of the gods from the day he drew breath. The temple stood as a beacon of faith, honoring the thirteen aspects of the divine, from the serene Lightbearer to the fierce Stormlord.<br />
<br />
But it was not just the teachings of the clergy that shaped Camwolf's destiny. As a child, he often wandered the sacred groves surrounding Crossing, communing with nature and feeling the earth's pulse beneath his feet. During these solitary moments, he first felt the whispers of the gods, guiding him along a path that would lead to a deeper understanding of the divine.<br />
<br />
Yet, Camwolf's childhood was not without its trials. At the tender age of ten, he was entrusted with the care of a wounded griffin fledgling, its majestic wings torn and broken. Through tireless devotion and unwavering faith, Camwolf tended to the creature, nursing it back to health with ancient healing rituals passed down through generations.<br />
<br />
Camwolf's connection to the divine grew stronger as the years passed. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying the Thirteen Aspects, delving into the ancient texts and scriptures with a fervor unmatched by his peers. Guided by his mentors within the temple, he honed his skills in the arts of healing and restoration, channeling the blessings of the gods to mend the wounds of both body and soul.<br />
<br />
But Camwolf's destiny was not confined to the walls of the temple. As whispers of dark forces stirring in the shadows reached his ears, he knew his path would lead him beyond the safety of Crossing. With a heart filled with courage and a soul ablaze with faith, he entered the world, ready to confront the darkness that threatened to engulf the land.<br />
<br />
Armed with the blessings of the Thirteen Aspects and guided by the wisdom of the divine, Camwolf, Iron Chronicler of Elanthia, stands as a beacon of hope, a champion of the light, and a guardian of the realms.<br />

==Appearance==<br />
You see '''Lunafreya Lockhart''', a Human.<br><br />
Lunafreya has a shimmering opalescent powder highlighting the contours of her face with delicate features, slightly pointed ears, some night-black kohl flawlessly applied to accentuate her starry ultramarine eyes, a tiny star-shaped night diamond nose stud piercing a freckled nose and dimples. Her ash-blonde hair is shoulder length and silky with long layers, and is worn pulled up in a cascading ponytail secured by an iridescent strand of spun rainbow woven with swirling charoite prisms. She has fair skin veiled in glimmering silver glitter swirled with night diamond stars and a gracefully slender figure.<br><br />
She is petite for a Human.<br><br />
A trio of multihued moons float lazily around her right forearm, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her skin.<br><br />
She appears to be an adult.<br><br />
Her right wrist has a tattoo of three rows of starkly-inked moon phases with a fourth row depicted in ghostly hues.<br><br />
She is in good shape.<br><br />
<br><br />
She is wearing a cloud-white faesilk sundress with intricately worked bands of colorful flowers near the hem, a sleek sword belt with an icy-blue blade hanging from it, a square cookie tin decorated with whimsical dragons and unicorns and a pair of bright yellow puddle-stomping boots.<br></div>GAINSBOROUGHhttps://elanthipedia.play.net/Dantia/Testing/Lore_Almanac_Skill_DistributionDantia/Testing/Lore Almanac Skill Distribution2024-03-07T17:32:08Z<p>LADYMOFFITT: Created page with "This pertains to the way skillset almanacs select which skill to fire.

<div>This pertains to the way skillset almanacs select which skill to fire. I'm experiencing this specifically with a lore almanac, but I'm taking a guess that the same applies to other skillset almanacs.<br />
<br />
I originally assumed that a skillset almanac worked by first assessing which skills are available to learn, then using a form of RNG to select which of the learnable skills to fire. However, my data shows that as you cap skills (and thus more skills within a skillset are not available to learn) the distribution of which which skill is chosen instead is not distributed evenly.<br />
<br />
As a pure guess, I'm wondering if an almanac uses some form of RNG to select any skill within the skillset, regardless of if it's learnable or not. If it is not learnable, it follows some sort of specific logic to default over to learn another specific skill, which results in that specific skill firing a disproportionate amount of time.<br />
<br />
A real world example w/data below:<br />
* A while ago I capped Empathy as my first lore. The remaining lores all seemed to hit fairly evenly, averaging 12-14% each.<br />
* 3/1/23 I capped Performance. Tactics increased to 22%, as compared to 11% average for other remaining skills.<br />
* 3/16/23 I capped Appraisal. Tactics increased to 34%, as compared to 11% average for other remaining skills.<br />
* 5/15/23 I capped Scholarship. Tactics increased to 44%, as compared to 11% average for other remaining skills.<br />
* 5/31/23 I capped Tactics. Enchanting increased to 58%, as compared to 11% average for the other remaining skills.<br />

Moonlight reflects off the five towers which dominate the city of Shard, providing a beacon for travelers in the night. The rhythmic lapping of waves against the lake shore mixes with the squelching sound of boots struggling to free themselves from the mud of the trail with each footstep.

[Wyvern Trail, Journey's Rest]<br />
A small area has been cleared here for travelers to stop and rest before crossing the bridge to Shard's west gate, or stop and recheck their packs before leaving the city's comfortable embrace entirely. Wyvern Mountain stands in the western distance, a great waterfall cascading down its face. Haunting voices rise in a synchronous harmony that chills the bones, revealing the presence of a shrine to the World Dragon nearby.You also see a muddy trail, a narrow path and the battered and splintered remains of a barricade that once blocked the passage west.<br />

[Fayrin's Rest, Telgi Mod'Sunhin]<br />
Massive oaks extend a silver-grey canopy of leaves that fades quickly into inkblack darkness from here to the east, north and south.

[Fayrin's Rest, Anloraten Crossing]<br />
It is not much of a meeting place for roads and their travelers: a broad lane and a dirt path wandering through a forest as dark as the night and twice as long. But such as it is, this crossing is a major traffic area for Fayrin's Rest. A few local residents leave their small dwellings to come here after dark, sitting on benches and watching the arrivals and departures -- by turns amused, pleased, curious and disdainful.You also see a signpost and a wooden bench.<br />

This portion of the road seems deserted save for the silent sentry of long, slender saplings and longer, heavier trees that drape protectively over the road. Animals stir through the undergrowth, and a kirikante shrills a sharp "chpppt!" somewhere in the distance. To the east darkness burgeons sublime. To the west and north a soft glow radiates warmth...a glow that bespeaks food, a roof, and companionship over a drink. <br />

[Dragon's Spine, Mountain Foothills]<br />
The trail becomes spotty as it meanders its way along the rock strewn canyon beside a wide riverbed containing a tiny trickle of water. Sage and juniper cover backsides of steep tan sandstone hogback ridges that angle downward toward Shard.

The foothills quickly bow in submission to the majesty of the Spine of the World Dragon Mountains.

[Dragon's Spine, Canyon Trail]<br />
Following the narrow gorge, the path becomes arduous as it climbs over rock falls and between tangles of river debris.

The canyon terminates in frosty splendor, though the trail continues on, steeply switch-backing its way up the slick mountainside beside a stunning waterfall. Hanging from a valley far above, Astrar's Sorrow descends as a glittering cascade of frozen water forming a pleated veil of icy tears that fall perpetually without movement to the solid river of ice below.You also see some large rocks, some large rocks and a small crevice in the ice just behind the waterfall.<br />

Footing becomes quite treacherous here as each new step brings forth more uncertainty. Tiny rivulets of icy water trickle down from the waterfall and freeze, adding to the already slippery sheet of ice on the ground. The more adventurous traveler might either chance the dark woodlands ahead or ferret out some way to penetrate and attempt to swim the frozen river. The less daring of souls will quickly retreat from whence they came.You also see a pile of rocks, a small crack in the ice wall and a rickety wooden signpost stabbed mercilessly into the ice.<br />

A few carts and wagons, an overburdened camel, and a very annoyed-looking Elothean trader loiter here, as though waiting to pass southeast but unable to proceed for some reason. <br />

The air is stuffy, humid and oppressive here, as though the leaves have conspired to make a verdant canopy to contain the heat spawned by the forest's decay and regeneration. The low humming in your ears grows louder, a chorus of katydids beating their wings in an unrelenting, blood-quickening rhythm. You feel oddly drowsy, or perhaps you are about to swoon from the unnatural warmth. <br />

The broad, stiff-veined leaves of the remeka trees here shut out the sky and the stirring of the forest breezes. The remekas absorb great quantities of water through their roots and release it in the form of droplets that collect on the underside of the leaves, dripping to the forest floor like a localized rain shower. This shower is too tepid to be refreshing, but a good source of drinking water so far from rivers or wells. <br />

Diminutive hoof prints from some cloven-footed animal pepper the road here. The underbrush on both sides has been trampled down repeatedly, and there is a noticeable track worn into the hard-packed roadbed at a right angle. You hear faint grunts and rustlings to the east and west, but the low thorn bushes rule out leaving the path to investigate. A dripping sound emanates from the southwest. <br />

Thick trees line the route here, with rope-like roots swelling the surface and bursting through in places. Most of them have been hacked back by the passing caravans and travelers. At the base of one of the greater trees, the jumble of roots encloses a murky hole, leading into a hollow. In such places are said to dwell Elven hermits and anchorites. <br />

The track through the choking forest is difficult to follow here. The path is extremely muddy and treacherous underfoot.

Along the north, the trees and shrubs are fairly homogeneous, much the same as other wild growth at the same latitude and altitude anywhere in this hemisphere of Elanthia. To the south, abruptly and preternaturally, all sorts of trees appear that ought not to be growing side by side or in each other's shade. A profusion of evergreens, hardwoods, fruit trees, flowering trees and shrubs, spread themselves out as far south as you can see. <br />

The ground here is hard and unyielding, packed to rock-like consistency by ceaseless caravans and the boots of stalwart adventurers.

The gradual slope provides a limited view of the surrounding treetops, but not much else.

The road weaves around a scorched deobar tree rooted in ash. Its blackened limbs reach skywards, defying the very forces that seared its fate, or perhaps they seek deliverance from the remnants of life once possessed.

Closely-knit vegetation shuts out most of the natural light. Between two gloomy trees arise overlapping shadows that seem to form human-like figures.

The road passes through a defile of vedda trees here, their white inner pith exposed, stripped of all bark. In times of famine or scarcity, the nomads of this forest have been known to eat the bark in order to survive.

The forest is very dense here, restricting the flow of traffic to the center of the road as the foliage closes in.

[Southern Trade Route, Trenilar's Slavers' Haven]<br />
This route was once a notorious artery for slave trade in Elanthia, bringing captives, conscripts and labor to and from the imperial Elven kingdoms. The filthy wayside eatery here was a rest stop for slave caravans, and has been run by ten generations of S'Kra proprietors. String cots under the trees provide minimal sleeping accommodations and split tree trunks form the outdoor dining room.

[The Crossing, Esplanade Eluned]<br />
The path here runs right along the river bank, as the shore curves into the land to form a small protected inlet. Directly south, a few small craft are beached, anchored by heavy rocks. One has oars but no rudder, another has a rudder but no bottom, and yet another has a bottom riddled with holes. Several tattered nets are hung on driftwood frames to dry, and alongside them, a few gutted fish. <br />

Hustling businessmen mingle with grimy dockworkers and indolent strollers here, all proceeding at very different paces. Handcarts filled with baskets and burlap bundles are pushed by stout, young lads past ladies decked in their finery. Most of the well-heeled leisure set seems to be headed to and from the freshly painted dock here. Some private boats and pleasure craft are moored to it. <br />

[The Crossing, Esplanade Eluned]<br />
The promenade here is a pleasant place to stroll along the riverbank and watch the activities on the broad and swift Segoltha River. The walkway is broad and clean, paved with bright red bricks forming whimsical patterns and abstract designs. The breeze off the river is invigorating. Several young hawkers try to peddle snacks and flowers to families or couples out taking the air, while merchants and seamen rush by. <br />

[The Crossing, Chieftain Walk]<br />
The warehouses and low buildings to the northwest resolve into a flat, open stretch of turf to the south, where the two rivers that shape the Crossing begin to come together. This level alluvial delta is home to the Crossing's main shipyard, where many of the barges, ferries, frigates, merchant ships, and corsairs that ply the rivers and seas of Elanthia are built. The weathered shipyard gate leads southeast. <br />

This stretch of road is wide and paved with smooth stone blocks. Cherry trees in carved stone planters border the sweeping approach while softening the exterior walls surrounding the Temple grounds. Flames brightly visible in the dark flare from the tops of three tall towers standing guard over the orb of the Main Temple. Fragile walkways lash the towers to each other high above the orb.You also see a high granite wall surrounding the temple grounds, the locked almsbox and the Longbow Bridge.<br />

The hustle of crowds making their way between the secular and religious centers of town that converge here carries you along with its momentum. The granite and marble facade of the First Provincial Bank catches your eye, standing before you as solid as its name. A Gor'Tog guard armed with pike and crossbow is posted at the door, while a few well-dressed merchants congregate outside.You also see Forest Warden Hengwild, a big orange sign with a picture of a smiling Dwarf and a large parchment.<br />

Such a refreshing vista invites you to stop and soak in the town's atmosphere. To the west you see the gabled slate roof of Town Hall. From the northwest comes the hue and cry of itinerant merchants, peddlers and soothsayers, vying for the attention of the adventurers gathered there in the Town's Green.You also see Grisgonda's Jewelry Shop and a gilded walkway.<br />

Adventurers stroll through the night air, some retiring to their guilds while others still intent on training stride purposefully in those directions. The normally bustling area is peaceful, the twittering of a few nightingales interspersing with the quiet conversations of people just passing through. Albreda Boulevard flows into Betany Street here, while a low hedgerow due west divides this corner from Town Green.

Someone has taken the time and care to attach flowerpots to the stone wall here, and plant cheerful flowers and fragrant herbs in them. It provides a lovely contrast to the fact that it was built to keep out marauders bringing death and destruction.

Oralana Ramble runs along the east wall of town, leading between the Northeast and the Eastern Gates. Somehow, it is relatively calm and empty compared to those roads that lead west and southwest to the Town Green, Town Hall, the Bank and the other vital nerve centers of the Crossing. The three towers guarding the temple thrust into the sky to the southwest, their flames a beacon for miles.

Utter bedlam confronts you as you step out into this street. This is the point where anyone and everyone who passes through the Northeast Gate either leaving town or arriving must cross paths. You quickly conclude this is no spot to stop and admire the scenery of the regions of the Eastern Tier beyond, nor to study the local architecture around you, since the momentum of the crowd carries you along, almost without your realizing it.You also see a voracious opaque multi-armed devourer and a stone stairway.<br />

The road crests the highest of the low hills, wandering among the cracked and worn rocks scattered across it. Removed from the road and set gently upon a hill, like a princess on her ivory pedestal, stands a rough circle of tall stones arranged in two concentric rings. Rising unsteadily from the crown of the hill, many of the stones lean against one another or are completely toppled. Perhaps a place of worship in ancient times, not even legend recalls who came here or what gods they served. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Pass]<br />
The road passes onto an almost level area as you work your way through a narrow gap in the mountains. Huge boulders that have tumbled loose from the escarpments above you cause you to keep a wary eye out for more such unwelcome fellow-travellers. A tiny roadside shrine has been erected here, perhaps by someone who made a lucky escape from such an avalanche of stone. <br />

A huge boulder blocks much of the road, but room remains to squeeze by between it and the mountain wall. One broken and shattered bone shows you that someone or something was far less fortunate in times past.

Climbing a small rise, you find a splendid view off to the north. The hills about you slowly flatten, spreading out into a broad, low valley. A large river winds its way through the valley like a deep blue ribbon, bordered by a dense band of marshlands. <br />

[The Marsh, Stone Road]<br />
Dirt meets stone here as a road begins its winding journey north along a cut-out hillside shrouded by a grove of trees. Just a few hundred feet north a large growth of reeds forces a jog to the northwest. In a clump of weeds sits a makeshift stone bench and small pile of stones. If it was once a shrine, someone has long since removed the statue and abandoned its care. <br />

High reeds create a thick wall to the southeast. A makeshift target is tacked to the closest tree. Someone has been practicing their archery, and on closer inspection you see the arrowheads that are now and forever a part of the tree. To the northwest you see a large bridge now in ruin, which used to span the river. To the south the road heads directly into the shadows of a grove of trees. <br />

A large stone bridge that once spanned the river here now lies in ruins. The town of Riverhaven, the bridge's original destination, sits on the other side. Gazing at the town, you notice that the orange glow of the town's street torches forms an eerie dome in the night sky. To the southeast, a wall of reeds creeps down from a group of trees into the river and attempts to survive the currents of the river. <br />

The Riverhaven town wall stretches out into the waters a short distance upriver from a crumbling stone bridge.

The lanes outside the eastern gate of Riverhaven are crowded with the bustle of street peddlers and merchant wagons coming and going in a great rush to sell their wares. Beggars line the paved road, aware that the more influential and wealthy folks use this gate. They hover, hands extended, hoping that a moment of kindness and charity might befall them. A stone bridge that once provided passage across the river is now little more than a crumbling stone pier used by some local fishermen.You also see a crude bloodstained altar near the rubble of the old bridge and a boggy path along a river.<br />

The town wall curves down to the river and extends out into it with the heavily-fortified Eastern Tower rising above to keep watch and to control the river traffic. A small path passes beneath the tower's shadow and through a narrow gate, wandering along the barren riverbank and out of town. A few boats are pulled up along the shore or bob gently in the current, tied to the many poles used to control river traffic.You also see the eastern gate and the tower.<br />

The store-yards of Natron, the local Salt-seller, rise along the north side of the road. Huge piles of sea salt, brought up the weary miles by barge, lie protected under canvas covers to keep off the rain. The riverbank has been despoiled by the briny run-off and little survives there. Even the pier is eaten away by the salt. The wood looks ready to crumble at a touch.You also see a Riverhaven Warden, smelly cat and a gate leading to the pier and another storage yard to the south.<br />

Perhaps as much business is done here as in the Guildhall nearby and certainly in much more cordial circumstances. Both public and private dining can be had as well as a huge common room. Sleeping accommodations range from the simple but clean to several elegant suites worthy of a Master Trader.You also see the Municipal Pier.<br />

This square sits in the space between the Town Hall and the municipal pier. It is a large park with the graceful gardens of the Temple set within well-tended lawns. Here and there, benches for the public's use are set out under shady trees, and you can often find an old retired merchant or river captain taking his ease and watching the passing tide of people.You also see a young alchemist student, a uniformed representative, a mud-splattered chest, the Temple, a simple bench with several things on it, a festive meeting portal and a news stand with a grinning imp on it.<br />

With deft actions, the Warden binds your hands behind your back, and marches you off.<br />
The Warden brings you to the jail, where several companions aid to hold you down and strip you of all your possessions. They are placed in a sack under the watchful eye of the jail warden, and then you are ushered to a cell, the door opened just long enough for you to be shoved inside.<br />
[Town Jail, The Cell]<br />
A very small barred window provides some fresh air to this barren room. The walls, made of iron reinforced oak, would be barren were it not for the shackle rings placed every few feet apart. A stone floor provides the only place to sit or lay. A small wooden bucket sits in the corner but as you begin to approach it, the smell convinces you quickly that you don't want to know what's still in there.You also see Jackwater that is sleeping, an iron door and some cobwebs.<br />

Long benches fill this simple room. A large desk and two chairs set facing out on a two foot wood riser. Alone in the corner is an iron barred cage, no doubt the holding area for the accused. Railed platforms on opposite walls provide the place for the town's barristers to spin their yarns in an effort to persuade the sitting judge.You also see a deobar door.<br />

<br />
After a weighty pause, the judge speaks, "Xionara, you have been found guilty of endangering the public in the City of Riverhaven. It is with a solemn hope that you will change your ways that I pronounce a fine upon you of 1 platinum. If you cannot pay immediately, your things will be held until you can repay the debt to society that you owe. Failure to come up with the money within twelve days shall result in a forfeiture of your possessions, and their intrinsic value removed from your debt."<br />
<br />
The bailiff rifles through your coin purse briefly, until it is obvious you do not have the necessary cash. He tosses it back to you.<br />
The judge nods, "Return when you have paid your debts, your possessions will be in a sack marked with your name, Xionara."<br />
[You have ++72++ RL hours to pay off your debts at the local collection office, then retrieve your things. If you have not paid your debt at that point, your items will be forfeit, and some of their value put towards your debts.]<br />

Close-set but elegant row-houses line the street along both sides. Many of the dwellings give out a cheerful glow of warm light through curtained windows. Someone, somewhere, is playing a haunting ballad on a dulcimer, and elsewhere you hear the muted conversation and laughter of a party. Lamps set on high poles shed a soft light over the street as the occasional late traveler passes you. Faint wisps of fog ghost along the ground from the direction of the riverfront.You also see the paladin Sir Robyn, a cedar-trimmed grey block abode, a trim brown brick house sitting behind terraces of red-bricked seasonal gardens, an oak-shingled red brick dwelling with a huge oak tree placed by its entrance, an oak-shingled white stucco house, a silver-veined black marble manor with a gargoyle-shaped cast iron lantern mounted by its entrance and a cozy white block home.<br />

The sound of clinking coins fills your ears as you take in the solid granite architecture about you. A pair of well-to-do Elotheans pass you by as they make their way to a darkly-stained deobar arch. A thin looking teller awaits beyond it for the next transaction to be asked of her. A lone dwarf leans against one of the walls observing the people coming and going with a watchful eye.

Running straight as an arrow, Theren Way leads from Town Hall to the Gate of Nobles at the north end of town. Heavy stone paving makes smooth road for the heavily-laden wagons and other traffic that throngs it all hours. Houses of the well-to-do line both sides with large gardens. This is the heart of a prosperous, well-ordered community and the frequent patrols of armed men prefer to keep it that way. On the west side of the road stands the office of the Provincial Administrator of Orders. <br />

Depressingly like any office anywhere in all the realms you have travelled, this one is obviously where people come to part with money that someone else thinks they can spend more wisely.

Huge piles of sea salt, brought up the weary miles by barge, lie protected under canvas covers to keep off the rain. The riverbank has been despoiled by the briny run-off and little survives there. Even the pier is eaten away by the salt. The wood looks ready to crumble at a touch.You also see a Riverhaven Warden and a gate leading to the pier and another storage yard to the south.<br />

[Riverhaven Hospital, Tending Chamber]<br />
An empath glances at you while scurrying over to help a wounded citizen. All around you are wounded or dying from every walk of life, but the efficiency of the empaths keeps everyone calm and assured. The smooth cream-colored marbled walls lend a cool feel to the room, helping to keep down any fevers that may afflict the diseased or poisoned. Peering through a small arch you see a glimpse of a garden outside.You also see the blind Empath Fraethis.<br />

[Riverhaven Hospital, Entrance Hall]<br />
You stand in the entrance hall of Riverhaven's famed hospital. Tall sea-green marble columns reach from the floor to the ceiling. Moss-stuffed pillows line one wall for the minor wounded to sit in while waiting for the empaths to finish with the more seriously impaired. Beneath your feet, a woven rug of soft fleece adorns the room. To the east, a cream colored arch with the words, "For Their Pain, My Heart" inscribed on it, beckons those who need immediate tending. <br />
Obvious exits: out.<br />

You slink out.<br />
[Riverhaven, Theren Way]<br />
Two buildings built of cream and pink marble face each other across the road. One is the Empath Guild, the other the Guild hospital. Both are built with wide porches like inviting arms to welcome the sick, the suffering, and those who heal them. The air is fresh and clean-smelling, and the twin houses of healing gleam from frequent scrubbing of the stonework.You also see a mistwood bench and an oak crate.<br />
Obvious paths: north, southeast, south.<br />
[automapper]: north<br />
> You slink north.<br />
[Riverhaven, Theren Way]<br />
Small gardens grow on both sides of the road. Fenced about with low stone walls and hedges, they belong to the Empath Guild and hospital to the south. Many rare and potent herbs and plants can be found here for use in healing. Northwards, the town wall and the Gate of Nobles rise. Nearby, a small shop sells clerical goods.You also see a Riverhaven Warden and a simple sign hanging from the front of the shop.<br />
Obvious paths: north, south.<br />
> [automapper]: go gate of nobles<br />
You slink north.<br />
[Riverhaven, Theren Way]<br />
The Gate of Nobles, the northern passage in and out of town, marks the end of Theren Way. The town wall curves away to the south both east and west, providing a semi-circle defense guarded by the river. Flanking the road are the Cleric Guild and the Noble Inn. Providing relief for both spirit and body, the two places though disparate in style, form a curiously harmonious duo. <br />
Obvious paths: southeast, south, west.<br />
> [Riverhaven, Outside North Gate]<br />
The great North Gate guards the entrance to the town of Riverhaven. Guards lounge nearby, leaning on their pikes but still managing to keep a wary eye on people passing their post. A wide road, impassable for now due to construction work, runs northwards. A dirt path wanders northeast, away from the main road. <br />
Obvious paths: northeast.<br />
> [automapper]: northeast<br />

You slink northeast.<br />
[Wildlands, Meandering Path]<br />
Beneath the dust and dirt of this wandering trail, there is something much firmer and regular than one might expect. Here and there, a few well-laid bricks of unusual size can be made out. To the northeast, a dense clump of woods sits, wrapped in its own thoughts. <br />
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.<br />
> You slink northeast.<br />
[Wildlands, Meandering Path]<br />
[automapper]: go obsidian spire<br />
Two piles of ruined stones set to either side of the path look ancient beyond measure. Between them, oversized brickwork shows through the dust and dirt of ages as the original form this trail now takes. A dense stand of woods looms nearby, its presence dominating the landscape. Bird-song drifts from within those green confines, lessening their air of solemnity.You also see a worn cobblestone path and a tall obsidian spire.<br />
Obvious paths: north, southwest.<br />
> [automapper]: climb stairs<br />
[Obsidian Spire, Entrance]<br />
Winding around the interior of the room is a flight of stairs climbing steeply into the darkness overhead, lit only by the cold blue-white light of minuscule tzgaa spheres inserted into the end of each riser. Tucked underneath several of the steps are small paintings, almost lost in the pervading gloom. <br />

Winding around the interior of the room is a flight of steps climbing steeply into the darkness overhead, lit only by the cold blue-white light of minuscule tzgaa spheres inserted into the end of each riser. Stairs lead back down, while an archway affords a glimpse of the outdoors. <br />

[Obsidian Spire, Roof]<br />
Arched cutaways in the shell of the spire reveal the sky, blocked only slightly by the sharp peak directly overhead. A channel in the knee-high retaining wall supports several varieties of plant life and boasts a lip wide enough to allow for seating.You also see a black ironwood telescope, the silvery-white shard Taniendar, a flight of steps leading down, a waste bin and a donation shelf with several things on it.<br />

You put your eye to the ironwood telescope and attempt to center on the enigma of the Nascent Unknown.<br />
> > peer telescope<br />
The Unknown is unobscured by clouds.<br />
Having lost much of its dramatic luminosity, the body is now faintly visible as a rocky asteroid, holding a fixed position directly overhead. The faint speck of crystal has returned, barely visibly churning at the bodies visible center.<br />
You see nothing else of note.<br />

[Obsidian Spire, Landing]<br />
Winding around the interior of the room is a flight of steps climbing steeply into the darkness overhead, lit only by the cold blue-white light of minuscule tzgaa spheres inserted into the end of each riser. Stairs lead back down, while an archway affords a glimpse of the outdoors. <br />

Winding around the interior of the room is a flight of stairs climbing steeply into the darkness overhead, lit only by the cold blue-white light of minuscule tzgaa spheres inserted into the end of each riser. Tucked underneath several of the steps are small paintings, almost lost in the pervading gloom. <br />

[Wildlands, Meandering Path]<br />
Two piles of ruined stones set to either side of the path look ancient beyond measure. Between them, oversized brickwork shows through the dust and dirt of ages as the original form this trail now takes. A dense stand of woods looms nearby, its presence dominating the landscape. Bird-song drifts from within those green confines, lessening their air of solemnity.You also see a worn cobblestone path and a tall obsidian spire.<br />

[Wildlands, Meandering Path]<br />
Beneath the dust and dirt of this wandering trail, there is something much firmer and regular than one might expect. Here and there, a few well-laid bricks of unusual size can be made out. To the northeast, a dense clump of woods sits, wrapped in its own thoughts. <br />
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.<br />

[Riverhaven, Outside North Gate]<br />
The great North Gate guards the entrance to the town of Riverhaven. Guards lounge nearby, leaning on their pikes but still managing to keep a wary eye on people passing their post. A wide road, impassable for now due to construction work, runs northwards. A dirt path wanders northeast, away from the main road. <br />
Obvious paths: northeast.<br />
> [Riverhaven, Theren Way]<br />
The Gate of Nobles, the northern passage in and out of town, marks the end of Theren Way. The town wall curves away to the south both east and west, providing a semi-circle defense guarded by the river. Flanking the road are the Cleric Guild and the Noble Inn. Providing relief for both spirit and body, the two places though disparate in style, form a curiously harmonious duo.You also see a Riverhaven Warden.<br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
This broad thoroughfare sweeps southeastward from the Gate of Nobles to the less lavish commercial districts of the town. The high outer wall is solidly built of stone, topped with close-set iron-wood logs. Heavy draft animals labor to pull carts of goods up and down the roadway while foot traffic clings to the edges to avoid being trampled.You also see The Riverhaven Engineering Society Hall, a street vendor's cart with a vial of naphtha on it and a large gate.<br />
Obvious paths: southeast, northwest.<br />
> You run southeast.<br />
[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
Even the late hour does little to diminish the commerce along this road. A carter's yard is still open, workmen toiling under the uncertain flicker of reed torches and oil-lamps. The pacing of the night guard, walking his lonely post along the outer side of the wall, echoes from the cobbled street. A ladder leads up to the guard's post above you. <br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
Several itinerant fishmongers cluster together under a blue and yellow-striped awning to the side of the roadway. Each one seems to be trying to outdo the others in proclaiming the virtues, flavors and variety of his selection. Numerous cats wander about, offering their own opinions on the assorted wares. Many scavenger crows perch along the high outer wall, their harsh voices adding their own suggestions to the din. <br />

A small open field lies vacant under the night sky. The dim glow from a watchman's lantern high on the outer wall shows a straggle of weeds and a few flowers, recently trampled, growing among piles of brick and stone left from a ruined building.You also see an old stacked stone house surrounded by several flickering will-o-wisps.<br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
A row of small cottages, set close together, huddle in the deep shadows of the outer wall. A few lights show through shuttered windows, but most folk here seem to have gone to bed. The roadway passes close by the simple dwellings and you can hear a pair of snorers, one a deep bass and the other, a softer, higher note that somehow form an amusing harmony in the night air. A small, unassuming shop sits to one side of the houses.You also see a sturdy stone block home, a cozy blue block cottage with a young witchclaw tree growing in front of it and an oak frame house with a large stone fountain carved like a leaping dolphin.<br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
Something has snarled traffic as carts and pedestrians jumble together in a confusing tangle. A harried watchman tries to keep everything moving, but the clog seems an inseparable part of the roadway. Several street urchins take the opportunity to lift some fruit from a passing cart, while the driver argues the right of way with a pair of liveried servants carrying a curtained sedan chair on poles.You also see a freckled young acolyte and a glass-doored shop.<br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
A gang of sweating and cursing Dwarves is working on repairs to the town wall. Several timbers, even though formed of solid iron-wood, have been infested with dry rot and are being replaced. Several Gor'Togs wait to set another heavy beam upright in the stone socket being prepared for it. Many of the laborers appear to have come from the nearby jail, to judge by their leg-irons and bored expressions. You notice the oaken door leading into the jail. <br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
The unmistakable smell of salt mingled with drying fish warns you of the proximity of the main product of the town. To the south, the smell increases as you approach the river. A few rooming houses and seedy cottages straggle along the road, their paint long worn off, exposing the bare wood to the ruinous effects of the salt-laden wind.You also see a petite baked red clay house and an old stacked stone house.<br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
Several fish-drying sheds assault your nose with the intensity of their efforts. One, worse even than the others, appears to specialize in some form of pickled fish mixed with some pungent herb or spice that settles into your nose as if it intended to dwell there. You wonder how the guards in the Eastern Tower, set in the river at the end of the town wall to the south, survive it. It does seem to have the minor virtue of driving off the blood flies that infest the river's edge. <br />

[Riverhaven, Ring Road East]<br />
The ring road meets the bitter end of the river road here at the point where the town wall runs out into the river to the brooding Eastern Tower. A commercial salt vendor dominates the area, white mounds of glittering crystals piled high like a miniature mountain range. <br />
Obvious paths: north, south.<br />

You run south.<br />
[Riverhaven, River Road East]<br />
The town wall curves down to the river and extends out into it with the heavily-fortified Eastern Tower rising above to keep watch and to control the river traffic. A small path passes beneath the tower's shadow and through a narrow gate, wandering along the barren riverbank and out of town. A few boats are pulled up along the shore or bob gently in the current, tied to the many poles used to control river traffic.You also see the eastern gate and the tower.<br />
Obvious paths: north, west.<br />
> [Riverhaven, Stone Bridge]<br />
The lanes outside the eastern gate of Riverhaven are crowded with the bustle of street peddlers and merchant wagons coming and going in a great rush to sell their wares. Beggars line the paved road, aware that the more influential and wealthy folks use this gate. They hover, hands extended, hoping that a moment of kindness and charity might befall them. A stone bridge that once provided passage across the river is now little more than a crumbling stone pier used by some local fishermen.You also see a crude bloodstained altar near the rubble of the old bridge and a boggy path along a river.<br />
Obvious paths: northeast.<br />
> [automapper]: dive river<br />
You gracefully dive into the Faldesu river.<br />
[Faldesu River, North Bank]<br />
The Riverhaven town wall stretches out into the waters a short distance upriver from a crumbling stone bridge. An orange glow rises above the dark wall from the torches and lamps of the town along with the low buzz of voices muffled by the night. Several small fishing boats bob in the sheltered part of the river near the town wall, silently awaiting their masters. <br />

[The Marsh, Stone Road]<br />
A large stone bridge that once spanned the river here now lies in ruins. The town of Riverhaven, the bridge's original destination, sits on the other side. Gazing at the town, you notice that the orange glow of the town's street torches forms an eerie dome in the night sky. To the southeast, a wall of reeds creeps down from a group of trees into the river and attempts to survive the currents of the river. <br />

High reeds create a thick wall to the southeast. A makeshift target is tacked to the closest tree. Someone has been practicing their archery, and on closer inspection you see the arrowheads that are now and forever a part of the tree. To the northwest you see a large bridge now in ruin, which used to span the river. To the south the road heads directly into the shadows of a grove of trees. <br />

Dirt meets stone here as a road begins its winding journey north along a cut-out hillside shrouded by a grove of trees. Just a few hundred feet north a large growth of reeds forces a jog to the northwest. In a clump of weeds sits a makeshift stone bench and small pile of stones. If it was once a shrine, someone has long since removed the statue and abandoned its care. <br />

A faint path can be made out that wanders into the trees, but it fades off before you can wonder about where it might lead. There is an unnerving quiet here, even the wind seems to have died. You feel a stranger in this wild place, perhaps an unwelcome stranger.You also see a faded roadsign.<br />

[Northern Trade Road, Wooded Valley]<br />
Thick woods grow heavily along the shoulders of the roadway, blocking both sky and sight after a short distance. Several sets of wolf tracks are evident in the heavy leaf mould under some of the trees. Troublesome travelers' tales describing the forest's dangers come to mind as the journey continues through the close-set trees. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]<br />
The road rises sharply to the west as it wends among the steep mountains. Eastward, it falls away into a narrow, heavily-wooded valley. Evidence of frequent landslides shows in the piles of rock and small boulders that make passage here uneven and slightly risky. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]<br />
A huge boulder blocks much of the road, but room remains to squeeze by between it and the mountain wall. One broken and shattered bone shows you that someone or something was far less fortunate in times past. You look nervously up at the rock-strewn slopes above you and mutter a short prayer that the boulders rest easily these days. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Pass]<br />
The road passes onto an almost level area as you work your way through a narrow gap in the mountains. Huge boulders that have tumbled loose from the escarpments above you cause you to keep a wary eye out for more such unwelcome fellow-travellers. A tiny roadside shrine has been erected here, perhaps by someone who made a lucky escape from such an avalanche of stone. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]<br />
You edge along a steep drop as the road narrows sharply in order to work its way along a narrow ridge of rock. Snow-capped peaks tower overhead and an occasional eagle or hawk can be seen soaring on the high-road of the sky far overhead. You envy them their direct routes as you gaze over the lip of the road and note the crumbling stone along its rim. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Mountain Trail]<br />
The roadway is made from cracked stone that seems to have fallen from the steep rocky shoulders of a mountain whose flank forms a boundary along your path. Rising steeply to the north and falling away to low hills to the south, the road cuts a narrow path among the mountains. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Foothills]<br />
You travel through a small dell that rises northwards into a narrow pass. You follow the path with your eyes until it fades from view among the steeply rising mountains. Southward a low hill rises, bearing the roadway along its shoulders. A Trader's Guild outpost sits alongside the stony trail.You also see a weathered roadsign, a stone marker, a stony trail, The Guild Stables and a wrecked barricade.<br />

The road rises along the curve of a low hill that slopes down to the south into open grasslands. The rocky crest of the hill rises sharply above you as you toil along the well-kept roadway. Local stones from the hillside have been smoothed and shaped to form the roadbed and the footing is good. Northwards though, the hills shift quickly into steep mountains. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]<br />
Miles upon miles of uncivilized land lie before you, devoid of any sign of humanity. A shifting sea of brown, green, and tan grasses rises about you, rustling with the movement of the occasional bird or butterfly that dares to plunge down into the vegetation. A line of dark mountains rises to the north, shadowed and gloomy, they climb abruptly from the grasslands. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Kaerna Outskirts]<br />
The wooden wall surrounding the tiny waystop of Kaerna is a visible line drawn between the plains and hamlet. Thick grasses and shrubs growing against the protective barrier seem intent upon reclaiming the village's side-by-side buildings for the prairie.

Even in the cool of the night the village remains active. A soft, cheery glow shines from the windows and open doorway of the Gilded Unicorn Inn, and a few traders are yet about checking their camels, inspecting their wagons, or preparing for the morning's excursions to come.

[Kaerna Village, By the Well]<br />
The Northern Trade road runs like an arrow through the small town of Kaerna. Composed mostly of ramshackle daub and wattle houses, the most distinguishing feature of Kaerna is its inn, which looms protectively over the other, smaller establishments. Less a town and more a waystation than anything else, the tiny wooden-walled village hugs the road with a tenacious determination.You also see the town well off to the side and a town gate.<br />

[Northern Trade Road, Kaerna Village Outskirts]<br />
The grasslands shimmer slightly, the gentle hand of the wind running its fingers through the plant life. Here and there colorful wildflowers dare to peep their heads up through the endless browns and greens of the plains. Dominating the gentle sighing of the grass can be heard the bustling sounds of the tiny village of Kaerna, surrounded by a wooden town wall which masks the village's graceless sprawl against the northern horizon.You also see a town gate, a weather-beaten sign and an abandoned militia shack.<br />

The darker colors of the serrated wirgars grasses that grow in this particular part of the plains stand out against their lighter cousins.

[Northern Trade Road, Farmstead]<br />
Vast, empty fields lie fallow about you. The remains of an abandoned farmhouse dominates your view to the northeast, its doorways gaping, its windows wide open like empty eye sockets. Nearby, a plow lies rusting, its blade sunk a good two feet into dirt whose only future crop will be grass. To the south the land is gradually returning to the meadow it originally was, the edge of creeping green vivid against the bare brown of exposed earth. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Meadowlands]<br />
The land here is open and welcome, the grass thinning on the western horizon as it makes way for a farmstead. Nearby you can hear the babble of a river, and the vegetation shows signs that something, probably cattle, has been here recently to grab a quick snack. The air is clean and sweet, inviting you to take deeper breaths. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]<br />
Deobar trees tower over you, their leaves rustling in time with the sounds of the river to the north. Quiet and serene, this part of the forest has a rich scent to it, the overlapping canopy making pools of gloom that collect beneath the trees. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Deep Forest]<br />
This is the heart of the wood, where the trees are the thickest and the outside world of skies and unforested land is the farthest away. The trees grow close to each other, their leaves whispering back and forth, their crowns bowed in quiet conversation. The silence is broken only by the sounds of a squirrel or similar creature's movements and the rush of a river coming from somewhere in the distance. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Forest]<br />
Low-lying taffelberry bushes grow about the tall deobar trees of the forest. The scent of loam hangs thick and sweet in an almost tangible cloud. The floor is carpeted with fallen leaves in the process of returning to the elements from whence they came, and some of the trees show evidence of having had their branches chopped off. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Forest]<br />
The trees grow in abundance about you, their tops brushing the dark sky above, their leaves flittering against each other in the night breeze. The soft sound of wings alerts you to the presence of a night hunter, and the broken-off cry that follows tells you that the hunter's prey has been found once more. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]<br />
The road runs straight as an arrow through the endless sea of tall grasses. An occasional ripple among the stalks moving counter the wind shows there is life hidden beneath the green and gold surface. The desperate flight of a covey of birds, as they break cover and scatter, shows that peace here is a shallow illusion. For always the hunter awaits the careless and the weak. <br />

[Northern Trade Road, Open Grasslands]<br />
Thick grass grows up to the edge of the road. Despite the isolation and empty land, the road itself is in surprisingly good shape. Large paving stones rest on a level bed, each one tightly fitted to its neighbor so that nary a weed or seedling can force a way between them. Perhaps some vanished town lay near here that knew the value of good roads. <br />

Southward, the road dips into a boggy lowland, while to the north, open grasslands stretch. No sign of habitation breaks the rippling waves of grass that grow shoulder-high to a tall Elf.

[Northern Trade Road, Marshy Meadows]<br />
The ground beneath you is boggy and soft. Swarms of flies close about you, and some land to drill into your flesh for a morsel of blood and to leave a stinging welt as a souvenir of your visit to their lands.

The ground underfoot squishes with each movement, and moisture oozes into the traces left. Low rocks set in ragged rows appear to mark a path along the swampy ground.

[Northern Trade Road, Rolling Hills]<br />
Low hills to the south rise up from marshy land to the north. Clouds of insects and tiny birds feeding upon them dart here and there. The whine of millions of quivering wings combines with the thin rustle of the darting birds to form an annoying, discordant noise.You also see a mammoth opaque multi-armed devourer, a small, white-washed sign staked along side the road and a roadsign.<br />

Winding north and south over the brow of a low hill, the road is partly blocked by several roughly shaped stones that appear to have tumbled down from the hill crest above.

The road crests the highest of the low hills, wandering among the cracked and worn rocks scattered across it. Removed from the road and set gently upon a hill, like a princess on her ivory pedestal, stands a rough circle of tall stones arranged in two concentric rings. Rising unsteadily from the crown of the hill, many of the stones lean against one another or are completely toppled. Perhaps a place of worship in ancient times, not even legend recalls who came here or what gods they served. <br />

Trees grow tall here, but they are scattered enough to allow moonlight and a good view of the sky. Northwards, the land rises into low hills that disappear against the black sky of the night.

Open grassland mingles with small farmsteads as the wide road passes through a cut where a low hill rises.

Oralana Ramble runs along the east wall of town, leading between the Northeast and the Eastern Gates. Somehow, it is relatively calm and empty compared to those roads that lead west and southwest to the Town Green, Town Hall, the Bank and the other vital nerve centers of the Crossing. The three towers guarding the temple thrust into the sky to the southwest, their flames a beacon for miles. The shadowy images of nightingales swoop high in the sky, their gentle lullabies decorating the cool night air.You also see a voracious opaque multi-armed devourer and an old blind beggar that is sitting.<br />

[The Crossing, Oralana Ramble]<br />
The road continues north and south, and merges on the west with Trothfang Street. In that direction, you see the turquoise- and crimson-tiled dome of the Champions' Arena. Your proximity to the town wall blocks out any view of the Eastern Tier which lies beyond it. Lowering your gaze to the path beneath your feet, you notice a spotted beetle wriggle into a chink in the wall and disappear. <br />

[The Crossing, Oralana Ramble]<br />
You are traveling just inside the eastern town wall. Mosses, grasses, and weeds blooming with brilliant wildflowers grow between the road and the wall, climbing right up to the edge of the rampart itself. The way bends to the southwest, and continues straight north toward the northeastern gate. <br />

[The Crossing, Betany Street]<br />
Someone has taken the time and care to attach flowerpots to the stone wall here, and plant cheerful flowers and fragrant herbs in them. It provides a lovely contrast to the fact that it was built to keep out marauders bringing death and destruction. The wall curves gently northeast, and off in the distance to the west, on either side of the street, you see the Seamstress and the Jeweler's shop, both about a block away. <br />

[The Crossing, Hodierna Way]<br />
The wall surrounding the town snakes from north to south directly to the east. The towers of the Temple to the west are barely seen in the dark, its merry lights minutely visible in the distance, twinkling through stained-glass windows. To the north, a narrow, cheerful street opens up. <br />

[The Crossing, Hodierna Way]<br />
Much of the heavy traffic that passes along Hodierna Way bespeaks of its place as a vital link through town to the shops, public institutions and the guilds, as well as to the observatory and rocky coast eastward beyond the wall. Part of the rush here, no doubt, is generated by Catrox's Forge, where the repair and refurbishing of arms, armor and shields draws a constant clientele of ardent adventurers. <br />

When no straggling pedestrian heads home for the night and no squeaking caravan wheels break the silence, sometimes a nightingale can be heard. Lamps in the windows of the Orders headquarters show someone is working late, and light shines to the southwest, where the Temple illuminates the dark sky.You also see a town guard, a news stand with a couple of things on it and a walkway ramp.<br />

The hustle of crowds making their way between the secular and religious centers of town that converge here carries you along with its momentum. The granite and marble facade of the First Provincial Bank catches your eye, standing before you as solid as its name. A Gor'Tog guard armed with pike and crossbow is posted at the door, while a few well-dressed merchants congregate outside.You also see a big orange sign with a picture of a smiling Dwarf and a large parchment.<br />

This stretch of road is wide and paved with smooth stone blocks. Cherry trees in carved stone planters border the sweeping approach while softening the exterior walls surrounding the Temple grounds. Flames brightly visible in the dark flare from the tops of three tall towers standing guard over the orb of the Main Temple. Fragile walkways lash the towers to each other high above the orb.You also see a high granite wall surrounding the temple grounds, the locked almsbox and the Longbow Bridge.<br />

This busy threeway is a vital link. The Longbow Bridge feeds into it from the northeast, and the warehouse and dock district which stand to the south and west bustle with activity. The commercial district to the northwest, and the pleasant and populous beach resort are to the southeast, just at the mouth of the River Oxenwaithe, where it empties into the Segoltha. <br />

[The Crossing, Chieftain Walk]<br />
The warehouses and low buildings to the northwest resolve into a flat, open stretch of turf to the south, where the two rivers that shape the Crossing begin to come together. This level alluvial delta is home to the Crossing's main shipyard, where many of the barges, ferries, frigates, merchant ships, and corsairs that ply the rivers and seas of Elanthia are built. The weathered shipyard gate leads southeast. <br />

[The Crossing, Esplanade Eluned]<br />
The promenade here is a pleasant place to stroll along the riverbank and watch the activities on the broad and swift Segoltha River. The walkway is broad and clean, paved with bright red bricks forming whimsical patterns and abstract designs. The breeze off the river is invigorating. Several young hawkers try to peddle snacks and flowers to families or couples out taking the air, while merchants and seamen rush by. <br />

Hustling businessmen mingle with grimy dockworkers and indolent strollers here, all proceeding at very different paces. Handcarts filled with baskets and burlap bundles are pushed by stout, young lads past ladies decked in their finery. Most of the well-heeled leisure set seems to be headed to and from the freshly painted dock here. Some private boats and pleasure craft are moored to it. <br />

[The Crossing, Esplanade Eluned]<br />
The path here runs right along the river bank, as the shore curves into the land to form a small protected inlet. Directly south, a few small craft are beached, anchored by heavy rocks. One has oars but no rudder, another has a rudder but no bottom, and yet another has a bottom riddled with holes. Several tattered nets are hung on driftwood frames to dry, and alongside them, a few gutted fish. <br />

[The Crossing, Haven's End]<br />
The word to describe the building in front of you would be "ramshackle", a tavern to judge from the sign hanging loose from a rod jutting out over the door. Apparently built from a medley of materials, including what looks like part of the hull of an old trading galleon, the place seems to fit well into the general neighborhood. <br />

[The Crossing, Haven's End]<br />
This is the end of the road - literally. All to the north and west, this dead end is surrounded by a weed-choked vacant lot, a remnant of some ancient farmer's croft or field that was incorporated into the Crossing early on in its evolution. The dark, rich bank of the Segoltha River rises steeply to the south, a difficult climb due to the slick and precipitous slope. <br />

Overhead in the foliage, you spot what appear to be gigantic birds' nests in the forks of the trees. Twigs, leafy limbs, dried sedges and grasses, are all piled up into massive arboreal beds. Some primal inhabitants of the deep forest, nomadic hunters and gatherers, must have slept here in the trees for safety. Recalling tales of their poison-tipped arrows, you hope they have long since moved on. <br />

[Southern Trade Route, Trenilar's Slavers' Haven]<br />
This route was once a notorious artery for slave trade in Elanthia, bringing captives, conscripts and labor to and from the imperial Elven kingdoms. The filthy wayside eatery here was a rest stop for slave caravans, and has been run by ten generations of S'Kra proprietors. String cots under the trees provide minimal sleeping accommodations and split tree trunks form the outdoor dining room. Trenches dug along the opposite side of the road offer primitive sanitary facilities. <br />

The forest is very dense here, restricting the flow of traffic to the center of the road as the foliage closes in. In this tunnel of the twisting wood, prodigious oaks extend their groping boughs and shine dimly with a phosphorescence of strange fungi. Empty sacks, stray scraps of leather, and bits of grain are trampled down into the mud, indicating some mishap occurred here.You also see a serpentine path leading deeper into the forest and a twisted black oak tree.<br />

Fallen logs line both sides of the route here, snapped or hacked into pieces. Some huge trunks are only charred husks, hollow inside. Jagged tree stumps, the source of the fallen logs, are scattered to the east and west. The underbrush has grown up quickly and closed in around them, so you cannot see into the forest beyond.

The oldest tree along the route here is a curious specimen. A very young rowan tree is growing in a fork of its hoary branches.

The road passes through a defile of vedda trees here, their white inner pith exposed, stripped of all bark. In times of famine or scarcity, the nomads of this forest have been known to eat the bark in order to survive. Unfortunately, in addition to meager nutrition, it contains a powerful hallucinogen which tends to drive tribesmen into a frenzy directed primarily at interlopers into their forest domain.You also see a winding trail.<br />

Closely-knit vegetation shuts out most of the natural light. Between two gloomy trees arise overlapping shadows that seem to form human-like figures.

DISCERN allows you to learn more information about spell that you know. To use this verb, you must DISCERN {SPELL}. Depending on your Arcana skill, you will discern information about how the spell works, as well as the amount of mana that you can put into the spell.<br />
<br />
This ability only works on spells that you are able to cast, including spells that you have memorized as scrolls.<br />
> discern ee<br />
> The Electrostatic Eddy spell is quite novel. By connecting directly to the Elemental Plane of Electricity the caster charges the air around them with static electricity. Once it builds up, it begins to discharge. This spell is not kind to the nervous system of its targets, nor their ability to remain hidden.<br />
<br />
This is a battle spell, intended to be prepared quickly and cast on an area or group while in battle. When used on opponents, this spell pits your magic against your enemy's fortitude. This is a cyclic spell. To cast this kind of spell, prepare it at the amount of mana you wish to cast it at, and then cast it. This spell will continually pulse as long as you have harnessed enough mana to fuel the mana requirements. Cambrinth also works as a source of fuel for cyclic spells, as does your raw attunement if you have the Raw Channeling feat. It affects yourself, hostile creatures, and some objects. It requires a minimum of six mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of thirty-one mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of an experienced practitioner. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a master in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Debilitation skill to cast effectively. Before you can learn this spell, you must know Arc Light. It will also cost two spell slots.<br />
<br />
The spell requires at minimum 6 mana streams and you think you can reinforce it with 25 more, for a total of 31 streams.<br />

The Aether Cloak spell surrounds the Warrior Mage with a barrier that stymies incoming and outgoing targeting patterns. An incoming spell that is fully absorbed may be reflected at its caster. As long as the cloak is fueled with mana, it will neither expire nor weaken.<br />
<br />
This is a battle spell, intended to be prepared quickly and cast on a single target while in battle. This is a cyclic spell. To cast this kind of spell, prepare it at the amount of mana you wish to cast it at, and then cast it. This spell will continually pulse as long as you have harnessed enough mana to fuel the mana requirements. Cambrinth also works as a source of fuel for cyclic spells, as does your raw attunement if you have the Raw Channeling feat. It can be cast without a target. It requires a minimum of five mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of twenty-five mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a 50th degree adept. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a guru in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Warding skill to cast effectively. Before you can learn this spell, you must know Ethereal Fissure, and be circle 50. It will also cost two spell slots.<br />

Stepping forward, the swarm of scuttlers climbing the starbeam parts as you enter the shimmering starbeam. Passing into the dark blue light, crystal shears around you with the slightest crackle, and you are quickly encased.<br />
[Brilliant Corridor, Starbeam]<br />
Surrounded by iridescent dark blue light, you find yourself encased in a small ovaloid cocoon of melting and reforming crystalline light. Though the walls are quite opaque, you can barely make out other similar cocoons shifting in space around yours. <br />
Obvious exits: none.<br />
J> Your spell cannot maintain itself in this magically inert area.<br />
The dark mantle of aether surrounding you fades away.<br />
J> [General][Efrate] "We still hear ye at least in elanthia proper"<br />
Without any feeling of movement, you begin rising upward, the crystal cocoon affording an obscured though complete view of the landscape. Mountains stretch below, and before long, the curvature of the planet becomes visible. Still, you continue upward.<br />
J> Elanthia spreads below you, falling away into an increasingly distant landscape. The range of the familiar becomes a small portion of the total visible surface, though the crystalline walls are too thick to afford a clear view of these uncharted lands.<br />
J> Through the thick crystal you are able to make out the outline of a looming Katamba, swirling with dark clouds and black craters. The cocoon darkens in the oppressive shadow-light of the nearby moon, but you continue onward.<br />
J> [glance]: glance<br />
You really should concentrate on your journey and save your breath for later.<br />
J> A pulsing dark blue circle becomes increasingly visible above, and you feel the crystal shifting, tumbling over and reorienting the destination between your feet. The dark blue circle flashes, and the crystal begins to dissolve...<br />
[Arrival Plinth, Surface]<br />
An expansive glowing crystal mosaic flows outward from a strange looking rocky plinth. Nested and overlapping geometric forms spiral in all directions, strung along a multitude of expanding fractal whorls. A rough four-fold symmetry blends asymmetrical smooth organic and geometric forms, with several bizarre symbols themselves being loci of their own patterning.

An expansive glowing crystal mosaic flows outward from a strange looking rocky plinth. Nested and overlapping geometric forms spiral in all directions, strung along a multitude of expanding fractal whorls. A rough four-fold symmetry blends asymmetrical smooth organic and geometric forms, with several bizarre symbols themselves being loci of their own patterning.

An imposing structure stretches upward from the asteroid's surface, forking into two tines, each pointed towards the distant planet above. The structure is intricately shot through with crystal, its surface adorned with translucent patterns extending upward from the ever-present mosaic stretching along the ground. Glowing streams of energy weave along the structure's contours, flowing upward. The structure is encircled with spiraling branches creating an almost upward stairwell.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

A vast and flat plain unfolds beneath the harsh caress of solar winds. Winding crystalline patterning decorates the landscape, creating an expansive mosaic of winding fractals and geometric forms that sprawl across the terrain. The relentless gusts stir and spike the dust beneath your feet, carrying it through the intricate designs. Curiously, the patterns remain uncovered, the dust seemingly repelled by the crystal. The jagged formations catch the brilliance of the unyielding sun, refracting the harsh light into partial and reverse rainbows which cast headache-inducing hues across the plain.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm and a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm.<br />

The entirety of the mosaic terminates here, fraying lines of crystalline patterning spiraling from all directions and framing a slight depression in the rock. A periodic thrum vibrates through your feet, stirring the dust, which seems to hang in the air slightly longer, slowly swirling and dancing as it is pushed by both localized subsurface vibrations and the solar wind.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, an opening covered in a sheet of thick crystal, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

[Girdles Expanse, Surface]<br />
A narrow valley winds along the edge of the Unknown, the rocky terrain curving downward in both directions. Dust swirls in unfelt currents, stirring and spiking with the solar wind. Flanked by jagged formations, the path weaves between towering rocks and occasional crystals that jut upward, casting harshly prismatic glimmers. The crystals occasionally pulse in unpredictable synchronicity. Teasing the horizon, the blinding sun reaches long spears of flickering light above, illuminating a view of a slowly turning and largely unfamiliar Elanthia.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

An imposing structure stretches upward from the asteroid's surface, forking into two tines, each pointed towards the distant planet above. The structure is intricately shot through with crystal, its surface adorned with translucent patterns extending upward from the ever-present mosaic stretching along the ground. Glowing streams of energy weave along the structure's contours, flowing upward.

[Crosswind Vantage, Surface]<br />
A vast and flat plain unfolds beneath the harsh caress of solar winds. Winding crystalline patterning decorates the landscape, creating an expansive mosaic of winding fractals and geometric forms that sprawl across the terrain. The relentless gusts stir and spike the dust beneath your feet, carrying it through the intricate designs. Curiously, the patterns remain uncovered, the dust seemingly repelled by the crystal. The jagged formations catch the brilliance of the unyielding sun, refracting the harsh light into partial and reverse rainbows which cast headache-inducing hues across the plain.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

[Eclipsed Vantage, Surface]<br />
With the sun fully blocked by the body of the Nascent Unknown, the stars burn above brilliantly and unimpeded with a never before seen clarity. The endless expanse of space stretches overhead, and beneath this stunning celestial canvas, the barren landscape of the Nascent Unknown unfolds in near perfect stillness. The desolate, rugged terrain is untouched by the sun's winds, and jagged rocks and bizarre crystalline formations cast long shadows in the starlight.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

The entirety of the mosaic terminates here, fraying lines of crystalline patterning spiraling from all directions and framing a slight depression in the rock. A periodic thrum vibrates through your feet, stirring the dust, which seems to hang in the air slightly longer, slowly swirling and dancing as it is pushed by both localized subsurface vibrations and the solar wind.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, an opening covered in a sheet of thick crystal, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

[Girdles Expanse, Surface]<br />
A narrow valley winds along the edge of the Unknown, the rocky terrain curving downward in both directions. Dust swirls in unfelt currents, stirring and spiking with the solar wind. Flanked by jagged formations, the path weaves between towering rocks and occasional crystals that jut upward, casting harshly prismatic glimmers. The crystals occasionally pulse in unpredictable synchronicity. Teasing the horizon, the blinding sun reaches long spears of flickering light above, illuminating a view of a slowly turning and largely unfamiliar Elanthia.You also see a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

A vast and flat plain unfolds beneath the harsh caress of solar winds. Winding crystalline patterning decorates the landscape, creating an expansive mosaic of winding fractals and geometric forms that sprawl across the terrain. The relentless gusts stir and spike the dust beneath your feet, carrying it through the intricate designs. Curiously, the patterns remain uncovered, the dust seemingly repelled by the crystal.

[The Outgrowth, Surface]<br />
An imposing structure stretches upward from the asteroid's surface, forking into two tines, each pointed towards the distant planet above. The structure is intricately shot through with crystal, its surface adorned with translucent patterns extending upward from the ever-present mosaic stretching along the ground. Glowing streams of energy weave along the structure's contours, flowing upward.

[Focusing Root, Surface]<br />
Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see an ethereal vela'tohr plant, a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

[Focusing Root, Surface]<br />
Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see an ethereal vela'tohr plant, a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

Dark crimson bands of light flow about the body of Ashad, pulsating with a heartbeat rhythm. Silvery-grey tendrils twine around the red bands, seeping into the corpse. As the last tendril vanishes from view, the bands explode with a brilliant flash and Ashad blinks dazedly, wobbling on his feet.<br />

A vast and flat plain unfolds beneath the harsh caress of solar winds. Winding crystalline patterning decorates the landscape, creating an expansive mosaic of winding fractals and geometric forms that sprawl across the terrain. The relentless gusts stir and spike the dust beneath your feet, carrying it through the intricate designs. Curiously, the patterns remain uncovered, the dust seemingly repelled by the crystal.

As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions.

Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a cloud of silver-grey mist, a tiny electrical fissure, an azure poplar tree, a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

[Crosswind Vantage, Surface]<br />
A vast and flat plain unfolds beneath the harsh caress of solar winds. Winding crystalline patterning decorates the landscape, creating an expansive mosaic of winding fractals and geometric forms that sprawl across the terrain. The relentless gusts stir and spike the dust beneath your feet, carrying it through the intricate designs. Curiously, the patterns remain uncovered, the dust seemingly repelled by the crystal. The jagged formations catch the brilliance of the unyielding sun, refracting the harsh light into partial and reverse rainbows which cast headache-inducing hues across the plain.You also see an enormous aqueous fissure, a starburned crauyarin scuttler and a starburned crauyarin scuttler.<br />

[The Outgrowth, Surface]<br />
An imposing structure stretches upward from the asteroid's surface, forking into two tines, each pointed towards the distant planet above. The structure is intricately shot through with crystal, its surface adorned with translucent patterns extending upward from the ever-present mosaic stretching along the ground. Glowing streams of energy weave along the structure's contours, flowing upward. The structure is encircled with spiraling branches creating an almost upward stairwell.You also see a ghostly white banner.<br />

[Focusing Root, Surface]<br />
Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist, a burning altar candle, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, an azure poplar tree, a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

A resonant thrum can be felt throughout the area, and as the field lines surrounding the crystal chunk fade, the crystal chunk violently expands! After a moment, the node rearranges, the field lines reappear, and the chunk compacts back to size.<br />

[Focusing Root, Surface]<br />
Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist, a burning altar candle, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, an azure poplar tree, a starburned swarm of scuttlers, an unaffected swarm of scuttlers, an energetic node of twisting symbols and a crystal chunk that continuously contracts and violently expands.<br />

The node is a complex convergence of equations, shifting and transforming before your eyes. Curiously, some of the symbols appear to be responsive to your movements. You believe if you MARK the node you will add an exponent, if you CUT the node you will reduce the upper limit of an integral, if you TURN the node you will take the inverse of a function, and if you SCRIBE the node you will doodle add whatever symbols come to mind.<br />

The node is a complex convergence of equations, shifting and transforming before your eyes. Curiously, some of the symbols appear to be responsive to your movements. You believe if you MARK the node you will add an exponent, if you CUT the node you will reduce the upper limit of an integral, if you TURN the node you will take the inverse of a function, and if you SCRIBE the node you will doodle add whatever symbols come to mind.<br />

> focus node<br />
You focus your magical senses on an energetic node of twisting symbols.<br />
As you focus on the magical node, a torrent of mathematical abstractions floods your consciousness, overwhelming your senses with a deluge of incomprehensible equations. Topological transformations twist and contort symbolic representations of a plane, rendering unrecognizable geometries. A cacophony of derivatives and integrals are connected via symbolic exchanges, though you are entirely unable to make sense of the interplay. It is definitely some form of Lunar magic, though unlike anything you have ever seen.<br />

The node is a complex convergence of equations, shifting and transforming before your eyes. Curiously, some of the symbols appear to be responsive to your movements. You believe if you MARK the node you will add an exponent, if you CUT the node you will reduce the upper limit of an integral, if you TURN the node you will take the inverse of a function, and if you SCRIBE the node you will doodle add whatever symbols come to mind.<br />

It is definitely some form of Lunar magic, though unlike anything you have ever seen.<br />

The node is a complex convergence of equations, shifting and transforming before your eyes. Curiously, some of the symbols appear to be responsive to your movements. You believe if you MARK the node you will add an exponent, if you CUT the node you will reduce the upper limit of an integral, if you TURN the node you will take the inverse of a function, and if you SCRIBE the node you will doodle add whatever symbols come to mind.<br />

The node is a complex convergence of equations, shifting and transforming before your eyes. Curiously, some of the symbols appear to be responsive to your movements. You believe if you MARK the node you will add an exponent, if you CUT the node you will reduce the upper limit of an integral, if you TURN the node you will take the inverse of a function, and if you SCRIBE the node you will doodle add whatever symbols come to mind.<br />

Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see a fractured chunk of inert crystal, a deactivated node of diffusing symbols, a burning altar candle, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket and an azure poplar tree.<br />

Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see an enormous electrical fissure, a fractured chunk of inert crystal, a deactivated node of diffusing symbols, a burning altar candle, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket and an azure poplar tree.<br />

Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines.

As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see an enormous electrical fissure, a fractured chunk of inert crystal, a deactivated node of diffusing symbols, a burning altar candle, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket and an azure poplar tree.<br />

A narrow valley winds along the edge of the Unknown, the rocky terrain curving downward in both directions. Dust swirls in unfelt currents, stirring and spiking with the solar wind. Flanked by jagged formations, the path weaves between towering rocks and occasional crystals that jut upward, casting harshly prismatic glimmers. The crystals occasionally pulse in unpredictable synchronicity. Teasing the horizon, the blinding sun reaches long spears of flickering light above, illuminating a view of a slowly turning and largely unfamiliar Elanthia.You also see a stark black banner slowly dripping drops of phantasmal blood and a starburned crauyarin scuttler that appears rather calm.<br />

[Focusing Root, Surface]<br />
Dense patterns of energy flow upward, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of dancing light. The vibrant currents weave intricate and disorienting designs, pulsating and reinforcing the foundation of the tines. Directly above, suspended between the tines, a growing chunk of spiked crystal takes form. As each surge of light emanates upward from the tines, the object alternates between being violently crushed inward and rapidly growing new facets and protrusions. The spikes jut out with an almost chaotic precision, casting dynamic shadows that dance across the energy patterns below. Crackles of dark blue energy arc between the tines and the crystal boulder, bending along strained field lines.You also see a large electrical fissure, a fractured chunk of inert crystal, a deactivated node of diffusing symbols, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket and an azure poplar tree.<br />
Also here: a calmed High Lord of Justice Imroth, Valiant Vaddon, Grandmother Caledric, Storm Warrior Hamuk, Stalwart Seydin and Pack Brother Ghust.<br />

[The Outgrowth, Surface]<br />
An imposing structure stretches upward from the asteroid's surface, forking into two tines, each pointed towards the distant planet above. The structure is intricately shot through with crystal, its surface adorned with translucent patterns extending upward from the ever-present mosaic stretching along the ground. Glowing streams of energy weave along the structure's contours, flowing upward. The structure is encircled with spiraling branches creating an almost upward stairwell.You also see a ghostly white banner.<br />

[Arrival Plinth, Surface]<br />
An expansive glowing crystal mosaic flows outward from a strange looking rocky plinth. Nested and overlapping geometric forms spiral in all directions, strung along a multitude of expanding fractal whorls. A rough four-fold symmetry blends asymmetrical smooth organic and geometric forms, with several bizarre symbols themselves being loci of their own patterning. Dust swirls around your feet, though you do not feel any breeze.You also see a long-leafed vela'tohr bush surrounded by diminutive blue butterflies and an iridescent dark blue starbeam covered in climbing scuttlers.<br />

[Girdles Expanse, Surface]<br />
A narrow valley winds along the edge of the Unknown, the rocky terrain curving downward in both directions. Dust swirls in unfelt currents, stirring and spiking with the solar wind. Flanked by jagged formations, the path weaves between towering rocks and occasional crystals that jut upward, casting harshly prismatic glimmers. The crystals occasionally pulse in unpredictable synchronicity. Teasing the horizon, the blinding sun reaches long spears of flickering light above, illuminating a view of a slowly turning and largely unfamiliar Elanthia.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist and a stark black banner slowly dripping drops of phantasmal blood.<br />

The entirety of the mosaic terminates here, fraying lines of crystalline patterning spiraling from all directions and framing a slight depression in the rock. A periodic thrum vibrates through your feet, stirring the dust, which seems to hang in the air slightly longer, slowly swirling and dancing as it is pushed by both localized subsurface vibrations and the solar wind.You also see a large clear crystal and an opening covered in a sheet of thick crystal.<br />

[Breathing Corridor, Within]<br />
Transitioning from the rocky exterior as you move deeper into the Nascent Unknown, the wide corridor is increasingly made of a translucent crystal, shot through with ever-shifting patterns and strange pictographs. Long lines of glistening, dark blue energy wind and pulsate along the corridor walls, and as the patterns seem to almost breathe in a rhythmic thrum, waves of clarity reveal the starfield outside -- the sun, Elanthia, nearby moons, and pinpoints of distant light. Further down the corridor, the pulsations converge towards a circular portal. The area bears a strange lightness, as if each step carries you just a little too far, and familiar distances slightly shifted.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist and a crystalline opening.<br />

Spatial norms begin to increasingly unravel. The space opens massively into an open conical bulb, the corridor walls stretching distantly away, yet, as you reach out, they are tactile and immediate. The air itself seems to warp, wavering with the ebb and flow of the energetic flux of the corridor walls, beyond which a distorted field of stars bends and blurs. Hanging from the visible stars, striations bend and waver, and celestial bodies made of nothing more than darkness twist and flow along the tapestry. Below you hovers a perfect circle of dark blue starlight, completely opaque and still.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist, an utterly black rift of shifting probabilities, a blinding rift of shifting probabilities, a jagged rift of shifting probabilities, a square rift of shifting probabilities and an oily rift of shifting probabilities.<br />

[Reversion Dynamo, Surface]<br />
Spatial norms begin to increasingly unravel. The space opens massively into an open conical bulb, the corridor walls stretching distantly away, yet, as you reach out, they are tactile and immediate. The air itself seems to warp, wavering with the ebb and flow of the energetic flux of the corridor walls, beyond which a distorted field of stars bends and blurs. Hanging from the visible stars, striations bend and waver, and celestial bodies made of nothing more than darkness twist and flow along the tapestry. Below you hovers a perfect circle of dark blue starlight, completely opaque and still.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist, an utterly black rift of shifting probabilities, a blinding rift of shifting probabilities, a jagged rift of shifting probabilities, a square rift of shifting probabilities and an oily rift of shifting probabilities.<br />

Peering into the rift reveals nothing. There is nothing but endless darkness, and you immediately begin to feel a deep chill. The rift seems to expand, and you find yourself unable to look away. Something shifts against or above the void, a winding bulge pushing against and distorting the image. The movement begins to spiral towards you and with some effort you avert your eyes. The rift ripples, but seems otherwise unchanged. You have no sense of where or what this vantage may be viewing.<br />

You are almost unable to look into the blinding rift. Blue-white light pours from the edges and surface of the opening, momentarily solid before evaporating into a fine cloud. Arcing field lines bend and billow in toroidal loops, riddled with mathematical equations which flicker in and out of view, their described harmonic resonance and descriptive transformations fleetingly sensible then immediately foreign. You are left with the impression that this rift provides an incomprehensibly distant vantage.<br />

Peering into the rift, you see a binary star system, the pair orbiting one another in a perpetual dance. At the bottom of the vantage rotates an icy planet, rung with lights.

Peering into the rift, you see a field of mostly familiar stars, brightly singing with rippling silver and gold as they shift closer into the constellations of the night sky. At the bottom of the vantage rotates Elanthia, its landscape dotted with craters and gray oceans. You are left with the impression that this rift provides a very close vantage.<br />

[Reducible Homomorphic Equivalence, Atop the Deformation]<br />
Mounted in the center of the fathomless chamber, the starlight circle hovers directly above, mounted in place by four crystalline pincers which seem to emerge from nothingness and delicately clasp the circle's edge. From every angle the object appears as a perfect, dark blue circle. The distant walls are barely visible, dissolving into near total transparency, through which a field of stars burn brightly albeit arranged in a configuration unknown to any starchart. There is movement in the distance, winding bulges in the darkness that push at the visible objects.You also see a cloud of silver-grey mist and a perfect circle of dark blue starlight.<br />

Mounted in the center of the fathomless chamber, the starlight circle hovers directly above, mounted in place by four crystalline pincers which seem to emerge from nothingness and delicately clasp the circle's edge. From every angle the object appears as a perfect, dark blue circle. The distant walls are barely visible, dissolving into near total transparency, through which a field of stars burn brightly albeit arranged in a configuration unknown to any starchart. There is movement in the distance, winding bulges in the darkness that push at the visible objects.You also see a perfect circle of dark blue starlight.<br />

You slink up.<br />
[Breathing Corridor, Within]<br />
Transitioning from the rocky exterior as you move deeper into the Nascent Unknown, the wide corridor is increasingly made of a translucent crystal, shot through with ever-shifting patterns and strange pictographs. Long lines of glistening, dark blue energy wind and pulsate along the corridor walls, and as the patterns seem to almost breathe in a rhythmic thrum, waves of clarity reveal the starfield outside -- the sun, Elanthia, nearby moons, and pinpoints of distant light. Further down the corridor, the pulsations converge towards a circular portal. The area bears a strange lightness, as if each step carries you just a little too far, and familiar distances slightly shifted.You also see a crystalline opening.<br />
Obvious paths: down.<br />

[Mosaic Termination, Surface]<br />
The entirety of the mosaic terminates here, fraying lines of crystalline patterning spiraling from all directions and framing a slight depression in the rock. A periodic thrum vibrates through your feet, stirring the dust, which seems to hang in the air slightly longer, slowly swirling and dancing as it is pushed by both localized subsurface vibrations and the solar wind.You also see a crystalline opening.<br />

[Girdles Expanse, Surface]<br />
A narrow valley winds along the edge of the Unknown, the rocky terrain curving downward in both directions. Dust swirls in unfelt currents, stirring and spiking with the solar wind. Flanked by jagged formations, the path weaves between towering rocks and occasional crystals that jut upward, casting harshly prismatic glimmers. The crystals occasionally pulse in unpredictable synchronicity. Teasing the horizon, the blinding sun reaches long spears of flickering light above, illuminating a view of a slowly turning and largely unfamiliar Elanthia. <br />

[Arrival Plinth, Surface]<br />
An expansive glowing crystal mosaic flows outward from a strange looking rocky plinth. Nested and overlapping geometric forms spiral in all directions, strung along a multitude of expanding fractal whorls. A rough four-fold symmetry blends asymmetrical smooth organic and geometric forms, with several bizarre symbols themselves being loci of their own patterning. Dust swirls around your feet, though you do not feel any breeze.You also see an iridescent dark blue starbeam covered in climbing scuttlers.<br />
Also here: Mahalae.<br />
Obvious paths: east, west.<br />

Stepping forward, the swarm of scuttlers climbing the starbeam parts as you enter the shimmering starbeam. Passing into the dark blue light, crystal shears around you with the slightest crackle, and you are quickly encased.<br />
[Brilliant Corridor, Starbeam]<br />
Surrounded by iridescent dark blue light, you find yourself encased in a small ovaloid cocoon of melting and reforming crystalline light. Though the walls are quite opaque, you can barely make out other similar cocoons shifting in space around yours. <br />

Anything but I'll be your ally.<br />

You see Poet Linett DeMooren-Budna of Therengia, an Elf.<br />
She has pointed ears and silver eyes. Her platinum hair is very long and thick, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has ebon skin. She has blue musical notes painted diagonally across her face.<br />
She is adult for an Elf.<br />
She has a tattoo of an iridescent winged butterfly on her ankle.<br />
She is in good shape.<br />
<br />
She is wearing a platinum jadeite gwethdesuan, a platinum kyanite gwethdesuan, a small embroidered case, a soft suede haversack, a beaded crimson silk corset with tightly drawn ivory laces, an albredine crystal ring, a carved ivory pick, an obsidian wedding band inset with jade and a sparkling diamond, a braided gold ring cradling tiny fire opals within its folds, a diaphanous crimson gossamer skirt resplendent with golden scarves, some red ribbon garters, some gold silk stockings and some sleek red leather thigh boots laced up the back with steelsilk laces.<br />

Linett taps her fingers on one of the open pages of of her open songbook with a faraway look on her face.<br />

<br />
<br />
Linett begins her performance for her audience.<br />
<br />
Chabelle smiles.<br />
Linett bows her head as her shoulders start to shake. After several long moments she seems to regain a small measure of composure. Her head slowly rises again to face you even though her eyes remain closed. You are forced to lean forward to hear her whisper-soft singing.<br />
<br />
Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Sorrow fills my soul<br />
until I am awash<br />
in utter despair<br />
that does overwhelm me."<br />
<br />
Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"You cannot save me<br />
I am beyond rescue<br />
drowning in myself<br />
as I sit here with you."<br />
<br />

Linett slowly empties her lungs.<br />
Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I know your feelings<br />
tell you how strong I am<br />
but that is shaded<br />
by emotions so deep."<br />
<br />
Raziaar gazes at Linett.<br />
Linett wraps her arms around herself tightly as tears make their way down her cheek. Her body shivers slightly leaving you with the impression she is afraid of something.<br />
<br />
Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I am haunted by<br />
a past that even now binds<br />
me to it firmly<br />
coloring everything."<br />
<br />
Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"You see things in me<br />
that do not really exist<br />
you see a perfect<br />
version of what you need."<br />
<br />
Linett softly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I play a small game<br />
to ensure you love me<br />
to keep you happy<br />
pretending to feel."<br />
<br />
Linett winces as conflicting emotions are clearly played out over her face. Her head tilts downwards until her chin rests firmly against her chest and her hair falls forward to cover her face. Her arms release their crushing embrace as if realizing they offered no real comfort.<br />
<br />
Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I am lost without<br />
you ever by my side so near<br />
and yet I am lost<br />
with you so near to my heart."<br />
<br />
Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I am desolate<br />
but I hide it so well<br />
you had no idea<br />
of my daily struggle."<br />
<br />
Linett sadly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"I am so broken<br />
no way to fit all the<br />
pieces back into<br />
one whole person again."<br />
<br />
Linett slowly turns in a tight circle until her back is facing you. Her voice is carried clearly to your ears as she reaches the top of her vocal range to close her song.<br />
<br />
Linett tiredly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"So sorry that I<br />
cannot be what you wish<br />
or needed me to<br />
be for you or for us."<br />
<br />
Linett stands very still as the last notes fade away into nothingness. Just as you start to wonder if she is able to face you again she turns around with a swirl of energy, a bright smile lighting her face. It occurs to you that her smile is perhaps too wide but that thought is carried away as she gazes into your eyes imploringly and then sinks into a deep curtsy.<br />

One form I follow, and mine eyes but see<br />
The dear delightful wonder of your love-lit face."<br />

Caressing my ear as a lover's kiss,<br />
Never again to be sung.<br />
Memories like a symphony bring me to my knees,<br />
Overwhelming me until the instruments are unstrung."<br />
<br />
Jilette just arrived.<br />
<br />
Daerlynn gnaws on her lip.<br />
Linett lovingly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"You are the Greatness of me,<br />
My thoughts are Beauty shaped exquisitely<br />
To the rare pattern of your loveliness<br />
Exceeding all excess.<br />
And the strange magic of this mystery,<br />
Steals weight from burdened anlaen, and woe from weariness."<br />
<br />
Ghilayne cocks her head at Linett.<br />
(Linett tears her intense gaze away from Daerlynn and looks into the audience while taking long slow breaths. Finally she stands and drops into a deep curtsy indicating the end of her song.

<br />
(Linett shyly gazes at D'Or as she runs her cloth carefully over her bones. When people start to clear their throats in impatience she quickly blinks twice and lets the cloth drop into her lap. Blushing slightly she begins a light melody on her bones that puts you in mind of shopping.)<br />

Would you be mad if I decline?<br />

To not buy it would be a crime."<br />
<br />
Linett gazes at Esmaril.<br />
<br />
(Linett tilts her head slightly to the side and gazes only at D'Or. The melody shifts to a more sultry shimmer of sound as she leans forward towards the True Bard. You catch the words she silently mouths to D'Or, "I only bought so many instruments to see you.")<br />

[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room]<br />
The room is filled with long, low tables and stools, where several people sit eating hearty bowls of Arthe Hollow's popular lamb stew. A large stone fireplace dominates one wall. Daisy Burdock, the inn's cook and waitress, crosses the room carrying a precarious arrangement of bowls and plates. She stops briefly to tease and joke with a regular customer or glance out the window. A sign is posted prominently next to the archway. You also see a fringed blue homespun cloth with some stuff on it, a log, a log, a log, a polished wooden bar with some stuff on it, an open doorway, a wooden menuboard, and some wooden stairs.<br />

<br />

<br />

(Linett unwraps her arms from around herself and stretches them above her head. Suddenly she spins around in a tight circle several times and the sound of her joyful laughter reaches your ears.)<br />
<br />
Linett sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"With your soul I found<br />
a mate to partner<br />
my soul completely.<br />
<br />
True love does resound."<br />
<br />
(Linett ends her dizzying spin by dropping into a low bow. Apparently she has spun a few too many times and as she slowly tilts to the side her eyes grow wide and she reaches out towards the audience as if to catch herself but to no avail. The room is filled with shocked stillness until the sound of Linett crashing to the ground and a few choice curse words break the silence. Quickly pulling her skirt from over the top of her head she leaps to her feet and bows once again amidst the snickering and laughter.)<br />

me away."<br />

<br />

<br />

He grasped my hand in his so gently.<br />
A slow walk in moonlight together."<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
"Soon between us there was intense heat.<br />
So tender his words, "Have no fear."<br />
Fingers appraise my things intently<br />
A journey to tents for his ledger."<br />
<br />
<br />
(Linett loudly rakes her pick across her lute strings, repeating the melody once before launching into the next verse.)<br />
<br />

<br />
"Day into night, I was dead on my feet.<br />
Shop! Shop! Shop! Sounded oh so sincere.<br />
Firm and hearty handshakes, so wordly.<br />
Suggestions from all, "Some new leather?"<br />
<br />
Linett mockingly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"With glee my funds they each did deplete!<br />
Out of coins - silent, I shed a tear.<br />
Any more coins, incidentally?<br />
They assured I'd many a treasure."<br />
<br />
(Linett's strumming softens, the strings of her lute vibrating quietly.)<br />
<br />
Linett painfully sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Me, destitute. Your hasty retreat.<br />
Your words, "I must see to my career."<br />
Why is it you feel so differently?<br />
Left with only items for pleasure."<br />
<br />
Linett harshly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Guards escort me out with conceit.<br />
Them all laughing I did overhear.<br />
I ran towards the ramp hastily.<br />
Crying, ran right into a healer."<br />
<br />

<br />
(Linett's pick flies over her lute, bouncing back and forth between bass and treble strings.)<br />
<br />

<br />
"Smiling at me, warmly she did greet.<br />
Words so kind, and she gave me a Beer!<br />
Gave her a pack, gifted her quickly.<br />
She accepted with joy and laughter!"<br />
<br />
Linett happily says, " And thus, my love affair with shopping was born and my distrust of traders begun. Oh! And my love of giving away gifts too."<br />

<br />
Linett smiles a bit nervously then bows her head and becomes very quiet. Her posture speaks of unbearable tension even though she is absolutely still. Lightning quick her right hand rises to shoulder level and drops back to her waist in a sharp cutting gesture. As her hand again reaches her side the room is suddenly encased in utter darkness. Whisper soft, you hear Linett's voice raised in song.<br />
<br />
Chabelle perks her ears up happily as she gazes at Linett.<br />
<br />
Linett quietly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />

<br />

Donalisa points at a log on the floor.<br />
Niteshiver nods.<br />
<br />
(Linett appears at the edge of your vision as her body is outlined by a red glow. She stands unmoving in front of you, her posture still tense. The only obvious difference is the heat you feel from the center of the room as the glow surrounding her becomes even brighter.)<br />
<br />
Linett wistfully sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Welling up inside, overflow - None can follow.<br />
Bubbling, boiling 'neath the surface below.<br />
Overwhelming - Can't find respite.<br />
Understand my yearning."<br />
<br />
(Linett tosses her head back, shaking her hair out behind her. Her gaze seems focused on some point you cannot see yourself. As her index finger traces a slow path over the outside of her thigh you notice sparks falling from her fingertips wherever it touches flesh.)<br />

<br />

This fight I am losing."<br />
<br />

Tiso grins at Wyndz.<br />
Linett quietly says to Tiso, "No, you cannot sing this to Shantelle."<br />
<br />
(Linett inhales sharply as she falls to her knees. Flames slowly lick along her skin until her body is encased in flickering white hot fire. As you each take a reflexive step backwards your eyes cannot help but be drawn back to Linett. Low whimpering can be heard as her clothing falls to ash surrounding her and she struggles to release the next words. She finally finds her voice to sing, though you notice it is at least a full octave lower.)<br />
<br />

Wyndz grins at Linett.<br />

(Cardinalred fans his hand in front of his face, trying to find relief from the heat come from the stage.)<br />

Tiso says to Wyndz, "Her father would make me a foot shorter."<br />
Linett helplessly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Quench this flame - Embrace me, cover me in shadow.<br />
Extinguish the fire, incinerate woe.<br />
Once, Twice, Thrice - Again I ignite.<br />
Flames endlessly writhing."<br />
<br />
(Linett gazes into the audience searchingly. Her eyes quickly flash from person to person until finally her eyes grow wide and unmoving. As you turn to see who she could be staring at you see Useff staring back into her eyes. You notice him quickly nod at her once and the room is filled with soft whimpering until her voice again finds its way past her lips.)<br />
<br />
Tiso chuckles to himself.<br />
Niteshiver smiles slowly.<br />
<br />
Linett weakly sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Searing<br />
Aching<br />
Flaming<br />
Coming."<br />
<br />
<br />
(Linett slips to the ground from her knees as the flames slowly shift from red-white to a cooler blue-white. As the flames seep back into her naked skin you notice her eyelids beginning to flutter open before darkness envelops the room once again. As the light fills the room you see her quickly pulling a shift over herself. Her eyes find their way over each person in the room then she sinks into a low curtsy.)<br />
<br />
Cayene says, "Geology: never more interesting a subject heretofore previous."<br />

|headline=Hound Chepiso Overreaches, New Law on Necromancy Enacted<br />
|article=[[Chepiso]], a Human [[Paladin]] and self proclaimed Warrior Zealot of the [[Hounds of Rutilor]], became active on the [[Gwethdesuan|gweth]] over the last few weeks. Speaking out against [[Necromancer|Necromancy]] and obsessively decrying anyone who supported it, he took control of the Hounds in order to strike down anyone he deemed guilty. His attacks began in [[Zoluren]], then took to [[Ilithi]].<br />
<br />
Within Zoluren, Chepiso raided the home of [[Komiro|Admiral Komiro Chelochi]], admiral of the Zoluren Navy, and killed him. Admiral Komiro recovered from his death.<br />
<br />
Later, an extended skirmish took place between Chepiso and many defenders on the East Bridge of [[Shard]], during which he was struck down three times while decrying as supporters those who did not attack Necromancers on sight. <br />
<br />
Three days later, he reappeared in the [[Crossing]] Town Square, stating a willingness to "entreat a conversation." This gave way to violence quickly. Several were struck down and others dragged away. <br />
<br />
Admiral Komiro arrived on horseback and took control of the situation, binding the zealot in a crystalline lattice.<br />
<br />
Komiro remanded Chepiso to the Hounds and read an edict stating, "The Hounds of Rutilor will no longer execute individuals suspected of Necromancy in the street. The Hounds will be permitted to operate only when actual Necromancy has been observed." The edict has been ratified by the [[Zoluren High Council]], the [[Belirendrick IV|Crown]], the [[Crossing High Temple|Temple]], and will be distributed to other provinces to sign.<br />
<br />
The Hounds then put Chepiso to death by building a pyre in the Town Square and purifying him with fire. His death was witnessed by over a dozen people. Many reported an unseen force tugging his body upwards, allowing radiant cracks to reveal the blackened flaws in his soul before it was overwhelmed with light and ascended to the heavens. It is this reporter's belief that he returned from death, but his once-Paladin soul was stripped of its sanctification.<br />
<br />
I asked for comments on the situation by some who were present at these events. [[Empath]] [[Kethrai]] said, "Chepiso is a dangerous fanatic who refused to temper justice with mercy. But his treatment at the hands of his own Hounds was excessively vicious. It shows his subordinates to have that same blind spot, even if they are for now brought to heel."<br />
<br />
[[Ayrell]] commented, "As for [Chepiso] meeting his end despite the efforts to reason with him, it is unfortunate that his mind was so warped into believing his methods were sound that he refused to see that the actions he took to thwart evil made him a different sort of evil in the process."<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />

|headline=Nascent Unknown Finalizes Form, Second Colossus Attacks<br />
|article=This past night, at one of the regular [[Miskton/Logs/20231209 Visions|Visions meetings]] hosted by Philomath [[Miskton|Miskton Ramahk]], Miskton revealed that he noticed a new change in the celestial phenomenon known as the [[Nascent Unknown]].<br />
<br />
He said, "A short while ago, I felt something rattle my prophetic senses and pulling my attention to the skies. I felt something change, and a sense of being observed. Looking up, it seems that the Nascent Unknown has finished moving into position, and is now changing form. To describe how it currently looks, for those of you unable to see through the cloud cover: Swirling and slightly precessing, surrounded with long whorls of pulsating dark blue light which spiral inward, the body appears to be pulling itself into a tight point. It continues to grow ever brighter as it periodically - though without any observable pattern - flashes with angry white intensity. Both astronomers and astrologers are in agreement that it seems to be nearing the end of some kind of sequence, however there is still not much consensus on exactly what it is, or what it is preparing to do."<br />
<br />
When I asked Miskton what he personally makes of the phenomenon, he answered, "It gives more and more the impression of being some sort of weapon. It's possible that it's not meant for physical destruction, if it's preparing some sort of magical effect, but that still leaves plenty of unpleasant possibilities." I suggested that it reminded me of a portal, though I noted that it would be odd for a portal-opening device to travel a great distance to us. Miskton replied, "It getting smaller and, presumably, more focused, makes the portal thought seem less likely to me now."<br />
<br />
When [[Kolanem]] of the [[Merelew]] visited us at the sinking of [[Andreshlew]] recently, he also spoke briefly about the Unknown and the Merelew scholars' opinions of it. He referred to it as the "Long Throw" and said that, at the time, it appeared to still be evolving. He said he believed their name for it came from its appearance. "Look at the thing, it looks like a spear aimed right for us." At the Visions meeting, [[Huebald]] added, "If I'm remembering right, they said the leviathans didn't remember seeing anything like it before neither."<br />
<br />
Ultimately, the phenomenon has become no less disturbing. Please, dear readers, continue to prepare in case evacuation is needed.<br />
<br />
On a separate note, last andu another voltaic colossus invaded the [[Crossing]], again accompanied by warforged voltaic custodians. I was feeling poorly at the time, so I was not able to take notes with my usual ability, but I did manage to find another hole in the colossus's leg to climb into, and once again set about with other adventurers in the task of dismantling the construct from within. When the job was completed, it liquified into a frozen lightning bolt in the sky in the same manner as the previous colossus.<br />
<br />
Of note, [[Dantia]] reported that someone died in the attack "when trying to cast something electrical at the [[Lightning selrek|selrek]]." A reminder: the custodians are immune to electricity, and the selreks can turn it back on you in spectacularly deadly ways.<br />
<br />
[[Uryutis|Scholar of the Grove Uryutis]] joined us after the colossus was vanquished. "There were Custodians in the chest cavity this time. Perhaps an improvement from last time?" He urged us to notice if anything else was different, requesting notes be sent to him, but I admit I could think of nothing myself. Still, the fact that it was improved at all is certainly concerning. These machines are learning.<br />

<br />
==THE Announcements==<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "About 30 Rois until PJ Party Time at Ravens Club with Black Foxes and other Foxy type people who may show up if they are awesome. And Raikage is cooking I guess. Also a competition between the Performance of THE Cythra Hooligan Snark Queen vs. Group Spars of Fighting Fierceness, who will win?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "the PJ Ball in Ravens Court just a turn northeast upon entering, or down in Shard being poisoned by Raikage, or prepping for a Peformance by THE Cythra or Group spars in Steelclaw thare are both later"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Selame thinking, "Group spars at the Kirm in SCC are going to be cancelled for this evening."<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Wait, there isn't going to be a showdown between the Spars vs the Hooligans, but instead the Sparring Fighters will take the fight directly TO THE Hooligan Snark Queen Cythra? I cannot wait for this!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Selame thinking, "Who are we to fight for attendance against the lovely Cythra!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Shh.. Selame, you can fight to attend and cheer loudest and such... I gotta stir the pre-show dramatics!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "So time to get to the Hooligan Snark Queen Cythra's Debut Redux"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Ghust thinking, "Where is this event at?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Your mind hears Jaelia thinking, "Arthe Dale"<br />
<br />
==THE Venue==<br />
<br />
[Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room]<br />
The room is filled with jovial conversation, laughter, much toasting and a layer of smoky haze. Guests of all races mingle at the long, low tables. A Halfling holding a very large mug of beer jumps in front of the stone fireplace, lets out a whoop and bursts into a spontaneous song. Daisy Burdock, the inn's waitress, maneuvers adeptly through the crowd carrying a tray of mugs and occasionally glancing out the window. A menu is posted at the archway next to a prominent sign.<br />
<br />
==THE Cythra==<br />
[[Cythra|Snarky Cythra Feralclaw, nee Seord Wildclaw, Word Mistress of Elanthia]], a Prydaen<br><br><br />
<br />
Cythra has wicked cat-slitted violet eyes. Her black-streaked auburn mane is very long and wavy, and is worn loose. She has glittered silver fur accented by some glittery platinum stars, a straight tail and a gracefully slender figure. She is tall for a Prydaen. <br><br><br />
<br />
Her cheekbone has a tattoo of interlocking red, blue and black spirals forming a triskele pattern.<br><br><br />
<br />
She is wearing a braided tri-gold wedding ring set with an amaranth Eu's promise crystal, an elegant black and auburn engagement ring displaying a molten-core diamond, a Bardic Soul Knot hair-clasp, a brushed silver locket etched with a sleeping dragon wreathed in wisps of smoke, a finespun platinum chain dangling an amethyst engagement ring, a face wrap of luxurious silverweave displaying a platinum Triquetra inset with a lightning amethyst that is loosely wound around the head and neck, some blackened wire-framed spectacles with circular lavender lenses, a bard's earring displaying a pair of linked jeweled masks for comedy and tragedy, a lavender cloak trimmed in a border of jeweled musical notes, a fiery phoenix charm displaying swirling charoite eyes, a gypsy shirt with an orchid alexadrite button, some silky black tights with a trail of night diamonds down the back seam, a gleaming platinum choker dangling a stylized eighth note charm, a heavily-boned black nightsilk corset clasped with a stormfire topaz, a blue gold triquetra armband set with sky opals and a mystic topaz, a gold neithrel band fastened with five silver chains, a pitted iron survival knife with a blighted gold handle, a bard's wristlet of carved onyx musical notes that flow together like a symphony, a dagged chainmail belt displaying a lightning amethyst, a starlight velvet gypsy skirt, a shimmery black songsilk garter covered in kaleidoscopic sequins, some high-heeled grey leather boots with platinum-inlaid heels and a trio of purple gold anklets threaded with lightning amethysts.<br />

"You might think her parents named her Salad<br />
Because they hated her,<br />
But such was not the case... this time."<br />

<br />
<br />
(Cythra turns a page in her pretend storybook.)<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Half a year before Salad was born<br />
Her mother-to-be gazed out of her window<br />
Overlooking the garden of the fearsome witch next door,<br />
Whose name was Goethel."<br />
<br />
<br />
Alchemy Guru Lilustra goes out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"She developed a craving for the greens she saw there."<br />
<br />
Cythra says, "I guess that's a better craving than pickles and ice cream."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"From that point on,<br />
Salad's mother-to-be<br />
Refused all other food thinking<br />
Only of the greens she longed for."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"They were so close yet completely out of reach."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"She began to waste away<br />
And her husband tried everything to entice her to eat."<br />
<br />
(Cythra turns another pretend page.)<br />
<br />

<br />

He could source locally."<br />

<br />
(Cythra turns another page.)<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Finally, out of his desperation to save his love,<br />
He snuck into Goethel's garden and<br />
Stole some of the greens she had growing there."<br />
<br />
<br />
Elurora whispers, "I need to slip out early, but this was tons of fun and I'm sorry to miss the rest!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Surprisingly, the greens grew back almost instantly."<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra whispers to Elurora, "thank you for coming"<br />
<br />
Elurora gives a slight curtsy, barely worth the effort.<br />
<br />
Cythra beams at Elurora!<br />
<br />
Truthseeker Elurora goes out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"His wife feasted on the greens until there was nothing left but still she desired more."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Being a devoted husband,<br />
He dashed right back over to the garden<br />
But this time he was caught by Goethel."<br />
<br />
<br />
Kethrai twitches an ear nervously.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"He pled his tragic tale to her<br />
And, with a gleam in her eye,<br />
She said he could help himself to<br />
All the greens his wife could eat..."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"...in exchange for their unborn child."<br />
<br />
Cythra blinks.<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Not being a bright man<br />
And willing to do anything<br />
To save his beloved bride<br />
He hastily agreed."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"When he told his wife what he had agreed to<br />
She couldn't bring herself to yell at the sweet yet dense man she loved."<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"As the days turned to weeks<br />
And the weeks turned to months<br />
The man's free time was completely occupied<br />
With picking greens for his wife."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Eventually he began constantly muttering the word "salad" repeatedly to himself."<br />
<br />
(Cythra turns yet another page. That was pretty quick. It must have pictures.)<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Finally the day came when the child was born."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Sadly, his wife did not survive the long and arduous labor..."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Probably because eating nothing but vegetables couldn't possibly be healthy."<br />
<br />
Allye trills softly to herself.<br />
<br />

So she could write it on the Province's birth report."<br />

He then shouted the word at her, "Salad!""<br />
<br />
<br />
Rezzian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Allye clucks her tongue and shakes her head.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"That's why they named her Salad."<br />
<br />
<br />
Valynn chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"It's probably a good thing<br />
That he didn't know the words,<br />
"arugula", "rampion", or "rapunzel"."<br />
<br />
<br />
Nilme chuckles.<br />
<br />
Cythra grins at Nilme.<br />

At their door to claim her prize.<br />
He relinquished the blonde<br />
Baby to her with a single word."<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
"When she grew old enough to date<br />
The witch locked Salad<br />
In a tall tower in the forest."<br />
<br />
<br />
Nilme appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"The only access to the tower was through a high window."<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Ysindre grins.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />

And use her hair to haul the witch<br />
Up through the window."<br />
<br />
<br />
Jaelia looks at Cythra and lets out a hearty cheer on her behalf!<br />
<br />
Allye is giggling at Cythra.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
"After a few years, life in the tower became routine."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"Salad even made up a song<br />
That narrated her activities<br />
Which consisted mostly<br />
Of washing her hair."<br />
<br />
Cythra says, "Was lotsa hair."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"One day while riding through the forest,<br />
Young Prince Errol heard<br />
What he felt had to be<br />
The most beautiful sound ever."<br />
<br />
Cythra says, "Only one word left to use."<br />
<br />
Cythra hums to herself.<br />
<br />

<br />

And sat under the trees listening<br />
To the enchanting voice that came from within."<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
"Prince Errol decided that<br />
Would be a good time to leave<br />
But as he departed<br />
He heard the witch call<br />
For Salad to let down her hair."<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra says to Allye, "We used tower instead."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
(Cythra turns the page.)<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"The next day he again<br />
Rode through the forest<br />
Finding himself following the path<br />
To the tower,<br />
Hoping to hear that voice again."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"He was not disappointed<br />
For the song came floating gracefully<br />
From the tower window."<br />
<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
"It was something about,<br />
Brush, brush, brush, and read, read, read and art, art, art."<br />
<br />
<br />
Allye giggles.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cythra tries hard not to grin.<br />
<br />

With a meal is fine!<br />
Salad, oh Salad!<br />
With a light dressing and wine!"<br />

"Who the hell are you," she shouted."<br />
<br />

<br />
Cythra recites:<br />
<br />
""Umm," the Prince replied absently as he stared up at her beautiful face."<br />
<br />
Cythra says, "Fine, I'll show you the picture..."<br />
<br />
<br />

An intelligent response,<br />

==THE Concert Poster==<br />
<br />
''Gift to attendees''<br />
<br />
<br />
A piece of parchment paper:<br />
<br />
The paper is painted with: A background of dark purple with swirls of lighter violet in wild patterns makes large brilliant electric blue letters seem to jump off the poster - "THE Cythra! Live in Concert!" The striking Prydean underneath the words has cat-slitted eyes in the same violet shade as the wild swirling violet of the background, her silver fur a stark contrast to the dark purple as her black-streaked auburn hair trails out behind her. She stands arms akimbo with a smirk on her face. In slightly smaller letters across the bottom you read "For the very second time ever! Truffandu, 14 Shorka 448"<br />

My grandpas Ahmir and Mrrar were born after it had begun, and were 10 and 12 when the Barrier was raised. So, many of the stories I heard from them came from that time."'''<br />
<br />
'''With absolute concentration, Kethrai continues to play a mournful elegy with an almost casual grace.'''<br />
<br />
'''Kethrai says, "Another mistaken belief is that only Prydaen and Rakash were in the Migration. But many of the seven Kermorian races had made their home in the far west, and traveled alongside them. This was how the Westerners even knew where they were going: they learned from their traveling companions about the ancient and storied lands where all of us are standing today."'''<br />
<br />
(Crobin casually drops a bit of food on the floor for the kittens)<br />
<br />

<br />
'''(Kethrai plucks a slow and winding tune on his lute, starting in a flattened mode that lends an aura of mystery and exoticism to the story he's telling. After an introductory measure, he adds his accompaniment in a breathy voice.)'''<br />

'''Huddled for warmth when weather grew colder,"'''<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
'''(Kethrai once again lowers the intensity of his playing but stays in the major scale, the same melody of the verse now sounding more familiar to Zolurenite ears.)'''<br />
<br />
'''Kethrai hopefully sings in a baritone voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"At last we discovered hallowed Journalai,'''<br />
'''First a few, then a dozen, and then in our scores.'''<br />

'''In Zoluren, our new distant home evermore."'''<br />
<br />
Akeiro hums happily to himself.<br />
<br />
'''(Kethrai strums so energetically for the final chorus that he must raise his voice to a cry above the sound of it, echoing boldly through the hall.)'''<br />

'''"The song I am about to sing could not have been created without the help of numerous people.

<br />
The lingering echoes of sound hang over the dais before ceasing altogether.<br />
<br />
'''Nilme recites:'''<br /><br />
'''"The painting appears as follows: A woman stands between two clashing armies, her head thrown back and arms beckoning towards the heavens. Escaping from the ground before her, brilliant silvers create a wicked image of a hellish creature with gnarled arms that snatch at the combatants and a face twisted into a soundless scream."'''<br />

'''(Nilme waits a moment for complete silence, and then she sings. Unaccompanied. Simply. Her soprano voice is rich and full, commanding the attention of the area.)'''<br />
<br />
'''Nilme enigmatically sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"A painting was made - a moment in history. To most who observe it, it might be a mystery.'''<br />
'''A moment of madness that led to much more - but who was she, and just what lay in store?'''<br />
'''Two clashing armies saw her standing there, as the wind blew through her night-black hair.'''<br />
'''She'd ridden the lines of the battlefield, but soon her madness would be revealed.'''<br />
'''But what moved her to madness and rage? I'll start with the story of a simple mage."'''<br />
<br />
Selame whispers something to Akeiro.<br />
<br />
'''Nilme directly sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"Sithsia served Lord Ellington, a man of power. After twenty years of loyalty, he built her a tower.'''<br />
'''She practiced her magics, growing quite strong. Ellington entered a war that went drastically wrong.'''<br />
'''He called on Sithsia when no end was in sight, telling her to strike the enemy with all her might.'''<br />
'''Then she saw her love, the Lord's son, (a warrior brave) struck by an arrow, his injuries grave.'''<br />
'''She watched as he fell and gave his blood to the earth, then Sithsia the Mage had an evil re-birth."'''<br />
<br />
Illiya takes a bite of the truffle.<br />
<br />
'''Nilme intensely sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"Her vengeance was swift as she watched him die. In her rage, she arose, arms spread toward the sky.'''<br />
'''She chanted words that no mortal should hear and from the earth rose the dead, faces twisted with fear.'''<br />
'''A mist of dark silver arrived with the screams. The survivors would forever hear them in their dreams.'''<br />
'''As soldiers disappeared and death came like a flood, Sithsia knelt over her love and cried tears of blood.'''<br />
'''The grief and madness in her heart ran very deep and Sithsia walked back alone to her Keep."'''<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Nilme matter-of-factly sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"In ancient history a great enemy was destroyed. They were brought down through the use of the Void.'''<br />
'''Where the Voidspell was used, all enemies vanished, but additionally, all elements nearby were banished.'''<br />
'''Then The Nameless Evil, Maelshyve, broke through, laying waste to the land and all that they knew.'''<br />
'''The Zaulfung Stones kept the demon encapsulated. By Sithsia and Farn's Company they'd been created.'''<br />
'''Raising the stones brought Sithsia into history once more. Perhaps she was the force who had shared unknown lore."'''<br />
<br />
Selame rumbles contentedly and then suddenly stops, as if embarrassed that she was doing it at all.<br />
<br />
'''Nilme somberly sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"200 years passed, then the Dragon Priests waged a war. Dzree had twisted the beliefs they held at their core.'''<br />
'''Driven by her evil, city after city was cut down. They captured and enslaved Neithrel, a Bard of renown.'''<br />
'''They killed many Bards, while extending their reach. But the borders of Leth, Sithsia would not let them breach.'''<br />
'''She came as a Raven, to keep Dzree from Leth, saying it was under her protection and foretold Dzree's death.'''<br />
'''Dzree failed to win Leth, though repeatedly she tried. And true to Sithsia's words, one year later, Dzree died."'''<br />
<br />
Leayne snuggles up to Crobin and cradles him in her arms.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Nilme articulately sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"From Ellington forward, time was hers to borrow. 800 years later, she appeared, in the time of Lord Sorrow.'''<br />
'''The Book of Power, in Stone Clan, was kept under guard, but Sorrow sent armies. He fought, and fought hard.'''<br />
'''Sorrow wanted the book despite the unknowns, seeking control of the demon held back by the Stones.'''<br />
'''He argued with Sithsia about what action to take, and his decision to thwart her was the last one he'd make.'''<br />
'''He chose his own path, opening the Book of Power. It killed him, and it is assumed she went back to her tower."'''<br />
<br />
Akeiro whispers something to Selame.<br />
<br />
Akeiro slowly empties his lungs.<br />
<br />
'''(Nilme's voice softens as she leads into the final verse. Her head held high, she continues to share her tale.)'''<br />
<br />
Leayne sighs.<br />
<br />
'''Nilme ominously sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"In search of her Keep, many have died, the experience a nightmare to those who have tried.'''<br />
'''It is said she remains, by choice, in her Keep, and that death awaits those who would venture too deep.'''<br />
'''She appears throughout history steeped in mystery and lore, and though we know a lot, her story contains more.'''<br />
'''Rumors say she still lives in her moving tower, a Necromancer of enormous power.'''<br />
'''One day, you and I will be gone, but it seems Sithsia, in her madness, will forever live on."'''<br />
<br />
'''(Nilme lets the last notes fade and drops gracefully into a deep curtsy.)'''<br />

'''Vixonia grins impishly.'''<br />
<br />
'''(Vixonia gazes down at her harp as she starts to play in earnest, a wistful tune that dances through the air with vibrant harmonics that swirl and entice the senses.)'''<br />

'''It's stocked with live treats if that is your will"'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia's tail undulates lazily through the air.'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia heartily sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"The wind whistle through a hole looking down'''<br />

'''Is a favorite place where I've oft lingered long"'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"Now let's head south and cross over the river'''<br />
'''Where along the trade road you'll find spots that deliver'''<br />
'''Some peace and respite from bustling travel'''<br />
'''Along busy paths that are covered with gravel"'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia smiles as her fingers tickle the strings of her harp, continuing the lush melody which accents her soaring soprano. Drawing your attention back to stage right, as the lights shift you now see an ornate stone bench next to a bubbling pool of water, surrounded by abundant greenery.'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"An overgrown footpath will guide the way'''<br />
'''To a pool with a bench for a quiet getaway'''<br />
'''Rest your weary bones, just relax and enjoy'''<br />
'''Perhaps you'll see fae there, they can be so coy"'''<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"And if you like heights, you just might see'''<br />

<br />
Leayne smiles at Crobin, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
'''(Vixonia's eyes sparkle in the stage lights as she draws attention to one last vision on stage left. A cloud dappled skyline is reft by a precarious treetop platform, a space with a remarkable view. Within the swelling of the resonant notes from her harp you might almost hear the swish of the wind.)'''<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Illiya smiles at Valynn, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
'''Vixonia playfully sings in a soprano voice:'''<br /><br />
'''"So I guess I should stop there, though I could go on'''<br />
'''You never know where delightful spaces will spawn'''<br />
'''This province has so much to explore and to adore'''<br />
'''And please, if you like you can ask me for more!"'''<br />
<br />
'''(Vixonia lets the final notes of her ballad ring through the air for a moment before stilling the strings with a soft touch. Raising from the stool she stands beside her instrument and drops into a formal curtsy just before the spotlight dims and the stage is plunged into darkness.)'''<br />

The Sisters of the Moonlit Lake have a rich and ancient history that stretches back centuries, rooted in the mystical traditions of the old world. Legend has it that their coven was founded by a wise and powerful mage whose connection to the moon was unparalleled. The mage was said to have communed with the lunar energies at the very shores of the Moonlit Lake, where the veil between the mundane world and the realm of magic was thinnest.<br />
<br />
As the story goes, a wise mage was joined by a small group of like-minded women who shared her reverence for the cycles of the moon and the natural elements. Together, they formed the Sisters of the Moonlit Lake, a sisterhood dedicated to harnessing the ancient powers of the cosmos to better themselves and those around them.<br />
<br />
The coven's rituals are deeply intertwined with the phases of the moon, the solar equinoxes, and solstices, as well as the elements of air, ground, water, and fire. Each coven member is initiated through sacred rites that honor their connection to these elemental forces, marking their commitment to the path of magic and wisdom.<br />
<br />
Central to the coven's beliefs is the idea that the mind has the power to shape reality in ways that science has yet to understand fully. Through their spells and rituals, the Sisters of the Moonlit Lake seek to harness this power to aid others in overcoming life's difficulties. However, they do so under a strict ethical code guided by the principle of Harm None.<br />
<br />
Within their sacred circle, the sisters pledge to use their magic only for the benefit of others, never for personal gain or harm. Outside the circle, they are bound by their duty to defend the defenseless, their homes, loved ones, and themselves, drawing upon their magical abilities when necessary to uphold justice and protect those in need. We will harvest what we need from nature, cull the dangers from our lands, and hunt only to feed and clothe ourselves and our people.<br />
<br />
Beyond their practice of magic, the Sisters of the Moonlit Lake also adhere to fundamental ethical principles that emphasize the importance of harmony with oneself, others, and the planet. They strive to live in harmony with the natural world, fostering a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all living beings and the delicate balance of the planet's ecosystems.<br />
<br />
Throughout the centuries, the Sisters of the Moonlit Lake have remained steadfast in their dedication to their ancient traditions, passing down their wisdom from generation to generation. Today, their coven continues to thrive, its members bound together by a shared commitment to the pursuit of magic, wisdom, and ethical living.<br />

|roomname=Aesry Surlaenis'a, Rundmolen Post Office<br />
|desc=Tucked away in a corner of the square is a polished wood counter set out from the wall. Latticework walls surround the counter while a canvas awning shades the space from the elements. Vast, countless rows of differently sized shelves are behind the counter, and complex Dwarven mechanisms can be heard as they rearrange the package-covered storage. Clerks shuffle endlessly back and forth between the counters and shelving as they assist patrons with their packaging and mailing needs.<br/><br />
You also see a polished wood counter with several things on it, a display with several things on it, a copper basin filled with wax cylinders, a woven basket, a shelf with several things on it and a wooden tray.<br/><br />
Obvious exits: south.<br />

== ''Introduction'' ==<br />
[Shoan a Sidelkuloa, Stage]<br><br />
A row of lights illuminates the boards and those who take their place upon them. Dark curtains block sight of the wings. <br> <br />
Also here: Treasure Seeker Fariden, Mazrian, Maraisel and Swashbuckler Ezerak.<br><br />
Swashbuckler Ezerak's group came through a thick dark curtain.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
== Game One - Scenes From a Hat ==<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "To begin, we will start with a game called "Scenes From a Hat." In this game, I will draw random suggestions from a hat..."<br />
<br />
Ayrell taps a black silk hat that she is holding.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "And our wonderful cast of players will step forward when they think of an idea for the suggestion. This game will start with Ezerak, Fariden, and Mazrian."<br />
<br />
Mazrian waves.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Fariden quickly catches an emerald-green jade dragonfly in his hand, stopping its flight.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
(Ayrell draws a slip of paper from inside the hat.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Bad times to break out into song."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Just a quick step forward and a funny line or a funny demonstration of the moment."<br />
<br />
Ezerak ponders.<br />
<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />
Fariden sings in a baritone voice:<br />
<br />
"I'm just a Hound that loves to burn..."<br />
<br />
(Mazrian steps forward.)<br />
<br />
(Mazrian pantomimes climbing through a window, rummaging through a dresser, then hearing a sound. He puts a hand to his ear then hurry-creeps back to the window. Suddenly, he belts out a riff!))<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs!<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
A little bit of laughter floats over from the audience.<br />
<br />

<br />
(Mazrian steps forwrad)<br />
<br />

<br />
Ayrell chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "I was going to say, is that a bad time?"<br />
<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Mazrian grins.<br />
<br />
Fariden sings in a baritone voice:<br />
<br />
"The leg bone's connected to the hip bone..."<br />
<br />
Mazrian ponders.<br />
<br />
Mazrian gestures, and a water ball forms in his hand.<br />
<br />
(Mazrian steps forward, sticking his head into the water ball. "blorhohldkkhlfhkhlhe")<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Ezerak laughs at Mazrian.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
(Ayrell draws another slip of paper from the hat.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Well, this idea could be dangerous, but we shall see..."<br />
<br />

<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />
(Mazrian steps forward)<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Stop licking my face."<br />
<br />
Mazrian grins.<br />
<br />
Fariden says, "Stop, stay. Good girl."<br />
<br />
A little bit of laughter floats over from the audience.<br />
<br />
Mazrian's body is dripping water everywhere.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at Fariden, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Fariden, "Was just going to say that one."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
(Ezerak steps forward.)<br />

(Mazrian steps forward "Why do you smell like dead bird?)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Roll over, let me get that belly."<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Yes, that would not end well."<br />
<br />
Ayrell nods to Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Mazrian whistles a merry tune.<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles.<br />
<br />
(Ayrell draws another suggestion from the hat.)<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
(Ayrell draws another suggestion from the hat.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Mazrian exclaims, "Yes, you can get tasks at the bathhouse!"<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs at Mazrian!<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Oh, I'm a little late."<br />
<br />
Mazrian casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
(Ezerak steps forward.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak recites:<br />
<br />
"There once was a man from Shard..."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to himself, "'...works for either one, I guess."<br />
<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
(Ayrell pulls another suggestion from the hat.)<br />
<br />

<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />
(Ezerak steps forward.)<br />
<br />
Fariden exclaims, "I've recently been promoted from swabbie! And never heard of a bathhouse!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Does this drink taste like duskberry to you?"<br />
<br />
Fariden grins at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
(Mazrian steps forward.)<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Laughter flows through the air, coming from the audience area.<br />

<br />
(Ezerak steps forward.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "I'm not a SERIAL killer."<br />
<br />
Mazrian laughs!<br />
<br />
The sound of unanimous applause rises in volume. Glancing over the audience members, you notice Ruea, Selarr, Everburned, Oreva and Melv are applauding and cheering.<br />
<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "I'm more a parallel killer."<br />
<br />
Fariden says, "I'm just looking for a little tail."<br />
<br />
Looking playful, Fariden curls the tip of his tail into a curve.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "One more for this game."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell draws a final suggestion from the hat.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Worst ideas for a secret society."<br />
<br />
Mazrian smoothly says, "'Are you training for a marathon? Cuz it's getting exhausting stalking you around."<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
(Fariden steps forward.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Mazrian winks.<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I think we covered those topics more than sufficiently. Let us move on to the next game."<br />
<br />
== Game Two - Questions Only ==<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Our next game is rather self-explanatory and is for the entire cast to play. It is called Questions Only."<br />
<br />
Ayrell say, "In this game, our players can only speak in the form of a question."<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Why?"<br />
<br />
Fariden flashes a wide grin.<br />
<br />
You notice Aislynn cheering for Fariden from the seating area.<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Mazrian asks, "Because?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "For this scene, you are all Paladins in the Baron's Hall, about to meet the Baron."<br />
<br />
Mazrian raises an eyebrow.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "You can begin when you are ready."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Since you already have."<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Anyone seen my armor polish?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Fariden, "Oh, are you here to see the Baron?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Does this armor make me look fat?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Maraisel, "Are you sure it's the armor?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak ducks his head.<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Fariden asks Ezerak, "Is there another reason to come here?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Ezerak, "Do you want to live to see the Baron?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Maraisel, "Do you know, I'm still trying to come up with a reply to that that is a question?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian asks Maraisel, "What if it's all he's lived for?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Mazrian raises an eyebrow in Maraisel's direction.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks Ezerak, "Why are you trying so hard?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Mazrian, "To meet the Baron or to die from calling me fat?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Maraisel, "Why not both?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks Maraisel, "So truth is worthy of death?"<br />
<br />
Fariden ducks his head.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Do both you boys have a death wish?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak laughs at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Maraisel chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Does the Baron even know we're coming?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel ponders.<br />
<br />
Mazrian dryly asks Maraisel, "Didn't you send back the missive?"<br />
<br />
Fariden worriedly asks, "Is anyone else coming? Does anyone else have a bad feeling about this?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Mazrian, "Wasn't Ezerak supposed to send it back?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel glances at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Was he even sober that day?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Are any of us sober today?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Fariden, "Is he ever?"<br />
<br />
(Fariden pretends to try to open a door.)<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Why are the doors locked?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Are we all trapped in here?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Are we going to die?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Are your faces really the last thing I'm going to see?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel rolls her eyes heavenward and mumbles, "Why me?!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Maraisel, "Wouldn't that be unfortunate?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Can anyone here pick a lock? Are we all Paladins?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian asks, "I want to say we are? Maraisel, slap Ezerak and see if you burst into tears?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Fariden, "Pick a lock? What does that even mean?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Can I choose that one?"<br />
<br />
(Maraisel points at a door.)<br />
<br />
Fariden asks Ezerak, "Haven't you heard the other guilds mutter about boxes? Those dumb square things we leave after killing something?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Do you think we could knock a door down?"<br />
<br />
Fariden hopefully asks, "Shall we try?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Should we all ram it together?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel mutters something into the air about that's asking for trouble.<br />
<br />
Ezerak raises an eyebrow in Maraisel's direction.<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Maraisel, "Isn't that what he said?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Isn't that what she wanted?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Fariden ducks his head.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Should we all count to three and run at it?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Do you all know how to count to three?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel ponders.<br />
<br />
Maraisel gazes upward.<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "What comes after one?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian frowns, shaking his head with an expression of exasperation before resting his face in the palm of his hand.<br />
<br />
Mazrian slowly asks Ezerak, "Ooooone?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian slowly asks Ezerak, "Twooo?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian asks Ezerak, "And next is...?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Mazrian, "Isn't it four?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Is it seven? Isn't it hard to count with all this armor on my hands and feet?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Where's my abacus?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian haggardly says, "Sound good enough."<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "What did I do to deserve this?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Are we ready?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Wait, so go on three? Or is it one, two, three, go?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks Fariden, "Wouldn't that be a four count?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Why am I waiting for you knuckleheads?"<br />
<br />
(Maraisel rushes the door.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel falls over.<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Wait, have you tried the handle?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Would that have been easier?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel rises to a kneeling position.<br />
<br />
Maraisel stands up.<br />
<br />
Maraisel dusts herself off.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Oh, was it a pull, not a push?"<br />
<br />
Fariden sighs.<br />
<br />
(Maraisel opens the door.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel gets an impish expression on her face, and lets out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
Fariden lets out a hearty cheer for Maraisel!<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Would you boys like to go get some drinks?"<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Have I ever said no to that?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I think we will go ahead and call that a scene."<br />
<br />
Mazrian applauds.<br />
<br />
From the seating area you hear Aislynn yell, "Huzzah, paladins! "<br />
<br />
(Mazrian raises his hands for the crowd, clapping encouragement.)<br />
<br />
== Game Three - Let's Make a Date ==<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Next game."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "This one will be for all of our players. It is called "Let's Make a Date."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "In this game, Maraisel will be playing our blushing bachelorette..."<br />
<br />
Ayrell glances at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "And she will be participating in a game in which she has been presented with three bachelors from whom she is to choose one for a romantic date. The only problem is that all three bachelors have... particular quirks... about them, which Maraisel will have to deduce and try to guess at the end. Our audience can see if they can guess as well."<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "This will be our final game, so hopefully it is a good one."<br />
<br />
Ayrell winks.<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks Maraisel, "Are you ready for your bachelors?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Always."<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins.<br />
<br />
Fariden snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "For ease of discerning who is who, Fariden will be bachelor number one. Ezerak is bachelor number two - and Mazrian will be bachelor number three."<br />
<br />
(Mazrian waggles his arched brows.)<br />
<br />
Fariden waves.<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods.<br />
<br />
Fariden quickly says, "Happy to be here, very happy."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "I'll start with bachelor number one, then."<br />
<br />
Mazrian winks.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Fariden, "Hello, bachelor number one. What is your idea of an ideal date?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins.<br />
<br />
Fariden quickly exclaims, "A whirlwind sightseeing tour of all the lands! Never know where we might end up!"<br />
<br />
Fariden mutters something into the air about people leaving trash everywhere.<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Yes, some people are quite the little litter bugs."<br />
<br />
(Mazrian stage whispers "Bachelor number one is all about peoples' junk.")<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Fariden sticks his tongue out at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Ezerak, "How about you, bachelor number two? I like long walks on the beach and tequila. Do you like the water? And beaches? And drinks with frilly umbrellas?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak clears his throat.<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Nanoo boowee!"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak suddenly drops to his hands and knees and begins rubbing up against Fariden's ankles.)<br />
<br />
(Maraisel sticks her finger in her ear and appears to clean it.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel gazes at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
(Fariden pats Ezerak's head.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "That must be the effect of a new drink I haven't tried yet."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Looks amazing..."<br />
<br />
(Fariden notices the knocked over stool that Ezerak vacated and quickly picks it up and pockets it.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Mazrian, "Bachelor number three, if you could take me anywhere for an evening, where would you take me?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian gazes thoughtfully at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Mazrian glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel ponders.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Will I need one of bachelor number two's drinks?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian slowly says to Maraisel, "Mmmmmm. I would take you for a long ride up a mountain trail to sip wine next to a pristine pool."<br />
<br />
Mazrian smoothly says, "Then I'd pick you a white rose, to complement your tattoo."<br />
<br />
Maraisel slowly asks, "My.... what?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel pats herself down looking for something!<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And see if I couldn't see a little more ankle."<br />
<br />
Mazrian leans forward.<br />
<br />
Maraisel gazes thoughtfully at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Well, that's... fascinating..."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "I don't... have a tattoo, but..."<br />
<br />
Fariden sternly says to Mazrian, "Hey! Keep it clean, pal."<br />
<br />
(Mazrian waggles his eyebrows again.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Ezerak holds his hand up before his mouth and begins to cough, his shoulders shaking. Hope it's not contagious!<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "So... bachelor number one."<br />
<br />
Maraisel coughs.<br />
<br />
Maraisel ponders.<br />
<br />
Fariden nods to Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Fariden, "You seem to prefer little litter... do you cook? Would you prepare a meal for me on our date?"<br />
<br />
Fariden loudly exclaims, "I will be back to answer that question in one roisaen!"<br />
<br />
(Fariden vanishes in a poof.)<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel casually observes the area.<br />
<br />
(Fariden returns to his spot.)<br />
<br />
Fariden says, "No, cooking is messy. Let me take you some place neat and tidy where they take your flagons when you are done with them."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Ah. A dinner out then. That is lovely, too."<br />
<br />
Maraisel smiles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says to Ezerak, "Bachelor number two."<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Ezerak, "I really love flowers. Would you bring me a bouquet if we were to have dinner?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak hisses up at the stage lights.)<br />
<br />
(Ezerak crawls over to Mazrian, sits in his shadow, and curls up to take a nap.)<br />
<br />
Maraisel gazes thoughtfully at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Maraisel slowly says, "Interesting..."<br />
<br />
Fariden says to Mazrian, "As long as he stays by your feet, he's fine."<br />
<br />
Mazrian pats Ezerak on the back.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says to Mazrian, "Well, then, I suppose that brings us back to bachelor number three."<br />
<br />
Maraisel smiles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods to Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Mazrian grins slowly.<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel ponders.<br />
<br />
Mazrian playfully says to Maraisel, "Ask away."<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Mazrian, "What sort of things would you like to do with me for fun... on a date, of course. Any hobbies you would like to share with me that we could do together?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian ponders.<br />
<br />
Maraisel chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Mazrian slowly says, ""Weeeeelll."<br />
<br />
Mazrian slyly says, "I love to eat out..."<br />
<br />
Mazrian seems to be waiting for something.<br />
<br />
Mazrian matter-of-factly says, "At fancy restaurants around Shard."<br />
<br />
Mazrian ponders.<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Maraisel clears her throat.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And I love the improv. There's a great troupe with this amazing host who I think you'd just love."<br />
<br />
Mazrian admiringly says, "'She's got the prettiest black hair and we're both Warrior Mages and killer fashion sense."<br />
<br />
Mazrian confidently says to Maraisel, "I know you'd like her."<br />
<br />
Ezerak snores.<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Alright, I think I'm ready to guess."<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Because I'm pretty sure I've dated bachelor number two before."<br />
<br />
A little bit of laughter floats over from the audience.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks, "Bachelor number one is very clearly a neat freak of some sort?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian grins.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "He would not like to see the inside of my house..."<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Fariden, "A maid?"<br />
<br />
From the seating area you hear Aislynn yell, "The janitor!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Mazrian laughs!<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Fariden says to Maraisel, "'I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me, I have to turn into a fog bank or a scavenger troll or a horde of squirrels and rush off..."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Well, I'm not opposed to having a janitor take me out for dinner."<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "The audience did better than me on that one."<br />
<br />
Fariden exclaims, "Nice job, Ais!"<br />
<br />
(Maraisel winks at the crowd.)<br />
<br />
Fariden waves.<br />
<br />
You notice Aislynn cheering in the seating area.<br />
<br />

<br />
Maraisel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says to Mazrian, "You really like the host's tattoo..."<br />
<br />
Mazrian dryly says, "I don't usually ask this on a first date, but..."<br />
<br />
Mazrian matter-of-factly asks, "Do you have a sister?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "As a matter of fact..."<br />
<br />
Maraisel says to Mazrian, "Something tells me you'd rather take her out to that... fine dining... establishment in Shard than you would me."<br />
<br />
Maraisel winks at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Mazrian grins.<br />
<br />
Ayrell clears your throat.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Ayrell, "Carrot and oyster pie."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Ayrell, "Carrots so you can see in the dark and oysters so you have something to look at."<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods to you.<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs!<br />
<br />
Ezerak laughs!<br />
<br />
Ayrell says to Maraisel, "You are pretty much right in your guess. Bachelor number three is secretly infatuated with the host."<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Well, if I have to pick from the three, I think I'll go with the janitor. He'll come in handy at home."<br />
<br />

<br />
(Mazrian stage whispers 'Those underthings of yours that went missing? He's got them there.)<br />
<br />
Fariden appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "I feel like that needs to be added to our worst pick up lines list."<br />
<br />
Ayrell chuckle.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I think that is about all we have time for this evening."<br />
<br />

<br />
[Silver Eye, Meeting Room]<br><br />
Dominating the room is a large circular table covered with a pale silk cloth. Smokewood chairs with plush seats encircle the table and a small obsidian bar rests against the back wall. The thick scent of Elven wine permeates the air from the nearby bar and flickering candle lights cast shadows around the room. You also see a long obsidian buffet draped with a lacy cloth with several things on it.<br><br />
Obvious exits: out.<br><br />
Rylento, Oreva, Fariden, Everburned, Aislynn, Maraisel, Mazrian and Ezerak followed.<br />

<br />
You say, "It was rather spur of the moment."<br />
<br />
You blush slightly, the tips of your ears flushing with warmth.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Enthien says, "It's okay, darlings, I got the whiskey."<br />
<br />

<br />
You see Tower Steward Rylento Alishar of Ilithi, an Elothean.<br><br />
Rylento has a softly angular face, tilted almond-shaped violet eyes and a small nose. His platinum hair is short and wavy. He has rosy skin and a lean build.<br><br />
He is slightly under average height for an Elothean.<br><br />
He appears to be an adult.<br><br />
He is clean shaven.<br><br />
He is in good shape.<br />
<br />
He is holding a fluted glass of sparkling white wine in his right hand.<br><br />
He is wearing a regal black cashmere longcoat with a vivid violet nightsilk lining, an open-necked black Elothean silk shirt, a carved Ilithic applewood pick, a leather instrument case embossed with the crest of the House of the Silk Strings, a black velvet pouch embroidered with deep purple lotus blossoms, some onyx jaalmin pants hemmed in violet madun and some glossy onyx-hide leather boots.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You say, "We hope it was."<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "You sound like you could use another glass of wine. Why don't I just find one."<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Rylento.<br />
<br />
You say, "This was our first try. I think the next one will be better."<br />

<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Rylento, "I would never try to make you do anything."<br />
<br />
You say, "It is always difficult to know exactly when to end a game so it does not drag on. But... practice."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Facilitate? Encourage? Well."<br />
<br />
You chuckle at Mazrian.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You smile.<br />

<br />
Oreva slinks out.<br />
<br />

<br />
You take a sip of the wine.<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Rylento.<br />
<br />

<br />
Oreva guzzles down some of her brandy and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve.<br />
<br />
Oreva studies the faces around her.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Rylento says to Enthien, "I'm mostly running errands, especially for Leader Osur."<br />
<br />
Ezerak appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Oreva props her elbow on the table and plasters the her face into her paw, puffing out her other cheek.)<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "This lot needs something to act about."<br />
<br />
Mazrian coughs.<br />
<br />
Enthien asks, "What errands?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
You say to Mazrian, "Not you."<br />
<br />
You chuckle at Mazrian.<br />
<br />

<br />
Enthien says to Rylento, "That's terribly dull."<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Enthien.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "Honestly keeping a bit of eye on the happenings about the city if some of the most exiting stuff I've been able to do."<br />
<br />
Rylento nods to Enthien.<br />
<br />
You say, "But important, I am sure."<br />
<br />
You nod to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento asks you, "I mean important people need important coffee, I guess?"<br />
<br />
Enthien asks, "And what goings on in the city?"<br />
<br />
Rylento smiles at you.<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Sounds like a great premise for a musical."<br />
<br />
You say, "And with our focus mainly on the theater, we have not had as many gatherings as the Task Force has, as of yet."<br />
<br />
Oreva bursts out in laughter, snorting mead through her nose.<br />
<br />
Rylento matter-of-factly says to you, "It's really not the names that stand out, as much as the products. And the quality."<br />
<br />
Oreva coughs.<br />
<br />
Rylento winks at you.<br />
<br />
Enthien praises Oreva.<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You sigh.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />

You gaze upward.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mazrian takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
You say, "And to think I have only had a single sip of wine.."<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine. Subtle flavors flow across the palate, highlighting the wine's light taste with notes of citrus, peach, vanilla, strawberry and the barest hint of thyme.<br />
<br />
Enthien says to you, "Have some whiskey, dear."<br />

<br />
You accept Enthien's offer and are now holding a pear-shaped glass of dark whiskey.<br />
<br />
Aislynn rummages through a sculpted leather beverage holster searching with intent, but it quickly becomes apparent she's not got a clue where to look.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to you, "You have some catching up to do, my love."<br />
<br />
You chuckle at Enthien.<br />
<br />
You nod at Ezerak, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Enthien gets a pear-shaped glass of dark whiskey from inside her hitman's backpack.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ezerak accepts Aislynn's beer bottle.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says to Ezerak, "More than many."<br />
<br />
The tip of Aislynn's tail makes lazy circles in the air.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the whiskey.<br />
<br />
You finish off the rest of it, and set the glass aside.<br />
<br />
You chuckle at Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Grinning, Ezerak pulls a swig from a topsy-turvy root beer bottle fitted with a leak-proof cap and gravity-fed straw.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to Mazrian, "I have to be at least half your age, I'd think I have at leas half the stories."<br />
<br />
Rylento chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ezerak moves a tiny tower-shaped glass of Crystal Tequila garnished with a twist of lime to his left hand.<br />
<br />
Ezerak moves a topsy-turvy root beer bottle fitted with a leak-proof cap and gravity-fed straw to his right hand.<br />

<br />

<br />
Oreva rubs her head.<br />
<br />
You offer your tea kettle to Aislynn, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Type CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "It's possible, definitely possible."<br />
<br />
Mazrian ponders.<br />
<br />

<br />
You say to Mazrian, "We did just have that story night the other evening."<br />
<br />
You chuckle.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "Most of my time has been with my family, and now in the Tower."<br />
<br />
Rylento looks at Mazrian and shrugs.<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "I bet your stories are way better."<br />
<br />
You get a fluted glass of pale silver wine graced with a petite strawberry from inside your sturdy backpack.<br />
<br />
Enthien says to Rylento, "A steward's life seems rather boring, dear. Please let me know if you're ever up for a little... excitement."<br />
<br />
Enthien takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "I have a long life full of many mistakes and hijinx to draw on."<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ezerak grins at Mazrian, his dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
You nod to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
You say, "I think we all do, to some extent."<br />
<br />
You chuckle to yourself.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Oreva shrugs.<br />
<br />

<br />
Aislynn stands near Oreva.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel raises an eyebrow in Mazrian's direction.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says to Mazrian, "That sounds like a story I absolutely need to hear."<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Mazrian, "Now that sounds like a story."<br />
<br />
Aislynn makes a chirring noise in Oreva's direction.<br />
<br />
Fariden asks, "Aren't those called kilts?"<br />
<br />
You chuckle to yourself.<br />
<br />
(Oreva looks up at Aislynn and makes a small little burp.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Fariden.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Fariden, "Oh, no, it was a beautiful strappy red gown with a little slink to it."<br />
<br />
Aislynn grins at Oreva.<br />
<br />
Fariden grins at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel asks Mazrian, "Did it show a little leg?"<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "At least it was red."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Oh, it showed all the leg."<br />
<br />
Fariden asks Mazrian, "And the high heels were for working on your balance, right?"<br />
<br />
Maraisel laughs!<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Here's how it went down."<br />
<br />
Maraisel appears to be listening intently for something.<br />
<br />
Ezerak observes Mazrian with fascination.<br />
<br />
You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.<br />
<br />
Enthien rummages through a worn grey hitman's backpack with fraying straps searching with intent, but it quickly becomes apparent she's not got a clue where to look.<br />
<br />
Aislynn hums to herself.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "It was more than fifty years ago, now. I was living in Theren, and I'd just been promoted."<br />
<br />
Oreva nods emphatically.<br />
<br />
Oreva stands up.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Made Sergeant in the Northern Watch. A proud day in a man's life."<br />
<br />
Enthien gets a tapered demonscale helm darkened to a deep abyssal black from inside her hitman's backpack.<br />
<br />
Oreva slinks out.<br />
<br />
Enthien puts her helm in some dark encompassing shadows of twilight dreamweave.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "Sounds like a wild party."<br />
<br />
Oreva just arrived.<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Oreva wobbles, looking a bit faint.<br />
<br />
Oreva sits down on the smokewood chair.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And it was, oh yes, right out on the North road near Theren."<br />
<br />
Raising her dark-hued whiskey to Aislynn, Oreva gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ezerak peers quizzically at Oreva.<br />
<br />
Oreva guzzles down some of her whiskey and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Me, some friends from the unit, and we were all horsing around."<br />
<br />
Oreva holds up her hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "As one does."<br />
<br />
Ezerak grins at Oreva, his dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And we got to drinking a little. And then a little more."<br />
<br />
[General] Your mind hears Aislynn thinking, "oreva He is prestigious, and they rarely get to see him. Also, you've probably had too much to drink, and now are drunk."<br />
<br />
Aislynn winces.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "As one does."<br />
<br />
Aislynn pats Oreva on the back.<br />
<br />
Oreva hiccups.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "As all good stories require."<br />
<br />
[General] Your mind hears Sortny thinking, "Thank ye for sharing, Aislynn"<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
[General] Your mind hears Aislynn thinking, "Of course!"<br />
<br />
Rylento smiles.<br />
<br />
Rylento takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
Oreva oddly says, "I dwuhn."<br />
<br />
Oreva giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
Oreva nods to Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Aislynn nods at Oreva, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Rylento asks, "It's really way too later. Or early?"<br />
<br />
Fariden nods to Oreva.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And so we had ourselves a little wager. Five shots, five chain lightning bolts."<br />
<br />
Everburned suddenly slips into the shadows and disappears.<br />
<br />
Oreva guzzles down some of her whiskey and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "I was a proud young man, full of vigor and other fluids, you understand."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "So I couldn't back down from that."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "So we set up, there on the road."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And I lined up the perfect spell."<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And just as I cast, in walked not one but BOTH of my Lieutenants."<br />
<br />
Aislynn winces.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "And because I set up the perfect cast, they both dropped smoking and stone dead."<br />
<br />
You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.<br />
<br />
Aislynn laughs!<br />
<br />
Rylento frowns, shaking his head with an expression of exasperation before resting his face in the palm of his hand.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Needless to say."<br />
<br />
Mazrian coughs.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "They were not amused. And that was the end of the party for that day."<br />
<br />
You say, "This makes my promotion to Lieutenant here in Ilithi sound rather dull. The Commander and my fellow Lieutenant, sitting at Milene's Rose, sharing a glass of wine, then off to patrol... No death or dresses."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "When everyone was back up and walking, they fetched the commander and dressed me down in front of everyone they could assemble."<br />
<br />
You chuckle to yourself.<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "Okay, but did they walk the starry path? If not, it really doesn't matter."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "For disorderly conduct, irresponsible behavior.."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "But not, let me stress, for poor aim."<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "This elf hits what he aims at."<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "Overreaction, truly."<br />
<br />
You chuckle at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Enthien says to Mazrian, "You were treated poorly."<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Rylento asks you, "Enlisted here, huh?"<br />
<br />
(Oreva holds up a finger, a gurgle rising in her throat. She turns to Aislynn as if to say something, lets out a tiny mewl, and tips over sideways, bringing her chair down with her. She is snoring before she hits the floor.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
You nod to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Aislynn winces.<br />
<br />
Ezerak shakes his head as if clearing it.<br />
<br />
Ezerak sighs.<br />
<br />
Aislynn pats Oreva on the back.<br />
<br />
Oreva just left.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Well. After a lengthy dress down, I had to dress up. The penalty was to walk the moat for a day, on patrol, in that red dress."<br />
<br />
You say to Rylento, "I was Lieutenant under Commander Fierolan Vanyahin of the Ilithi Mountain Guard during the Outcast War."<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento frowns.<br />
<br />
You sigh.<br />
<br />
You nod to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Maraisel, "I have to say, I think I wore it better than anyone else."<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods to Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "I wasn't there, but I imagine you looked stunning."<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Mazrian flashes a quick grin.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says to Mazrian, "Oh, how I wish some talented young artist had made their mark on the world by painting that."<br />
<br />
Aislynn sighs.<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "There was a time I was a member of the militia here. Can't recall what I was. Some kind of officer? I dunno. They pointed me at things and I killed them."<br />
<br />
Ezerak ponders.<br />
<br />
Ezerak gives Mazrian a studious look, as if committing him to memory.<br />
<br />
Enthien gets a pear-shaped glass of dark whiskey from inside her hitman's backpack.<br />
<br />
Ezerak taps an oceanic blue alerce writing kit that he is wearing.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "It's a funny story, sure."<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Enthien says to Mazrian, "Not with lightning, mind you."<br />
<br />
Rylento says to you, "The Leader doesn't talk about it much with me, but me mom gets sad every time she talks about the War. And mad."<br />
<br />
Aislynn ponders.<br />
<br />
You nod to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods at Enthien, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
You say to Rylento, "It certainly does conjure some very painful memories for us all, I believe."<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
You say, "Those of us who lived through it, anyway."<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods to you.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says to Mazrian, "Have there been any Outcasts amongst the returned, yet? I don't think so."<br />
<br />
Aislynn ponders.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "No Outcasts, at least not yet."<br />
<br />
Enthien asks, "The returned? Is that what they're being called?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian shakes his head.<br />
<br />
You shake your head at Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Aislynn nods.<br />
<br />
You say to Aislynn, "We continue to patrol the city here during the assaults, just in case they make an appearance."<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods to you.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says to you, "It's going to happen. There are too many directions left for that temporal schemer to potentially delve in his little pocket for me to imagine they won't reappear."<br />
<br />
Aislynn ponders.<br />
<br />
Enthien says, "The timelost haven't bothered the south, have they? Spent their time up in Zoluren and Therengia if I recall."<br />
<br />
You nod to Aislynn.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at Enthien, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "I don't think they're very lost."<br />
<br />
Mazrian shakes his head.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "We have yet to find them in or around Shard, so far."<br />
<br />
You say to Aislynn, "It is why we continue to patrol. It is about the time we start to believe the city is safe that it may cease to be. And I refuse to let that happen."<br />
<br />
Aislynn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Aislynn clicks her claws together.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Enthien asks Rylento, "What says the Queen?"<br />
<br />
Rylento ponders.<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says to Enthien, ""For one, the Gorbesh were coordinating with V, at least for the first attack. For another, they're shifting tactics in response to ours."<br />
<br />
Rylento nervously asks Enthien, "Who do you mean?"<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "...not that Queen."<br />
<br />
Enthien gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
Mazrian coughs.<br />
<br />
Aislynn gazes at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "At least, I imagine not."<br />
<br />
Rylento says to Mazrian, "Well there's not exactly another Queen in Ilithi."<br />
<br />
You ask Enthien, "Do you refer to Queen Morganae, or the Ferdahl Aemmin?"<br />
<br />
Enthien smirks.<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods at Rylento, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
You nod to Rylento.<br />
<br />
Enthien asks, "Queen Morganae. Should not the Ferdahl be in discussions about this terrible threat that might come south at any moment?"<br />
<br />
Enthien gets a pear-shaped glass of dark whiskey from inside her hitman's backpack.<br />
<br />
Enthien takes a sip of her whiskey.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Ah, well then, that Queen after all."<br />
<br />
You smile at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine. Subtle flavors flow across the palate, highlighting the wine's light taste with notes of citrus, peach, vanilla, strawberry and the barest hint of thyme.<br />
<br />
Mazrian guzzles down some of his wine and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.<br />
<br />
Maraisel takes a sip of her Tequila.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Ah, there we are."<br />
<br />
Mazrian takes a sip of his brandy.<br />
<br />
Ezerak takes a sip of his Tequila.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "I barely know what's happening around the Tower. I *definitely* don't know what's going on in the Mountain."<br />
<br />
Rylento blushes a bright red color.<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Aislynn makes a chirring noise in Rylento's direction.<br />
<br />
Enthien pityingly says to Rylento, "The life of a steward must be very very dull indeed."<br />
<br />
Ezerak smiles at Rylento, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.<br />
<br />
Fariden says, "Or far too exciting."<br />
<br />
Fariden chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins at Fariden.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says, "If it's exciting, someone else is doing something wrong."<br />
<br />
Aislynn makes a grunting noise.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to Enthien, "It's just kinda of...I don't know. I'm sorry, I feel like I'm letting you down..."<br />
<br />
Rylento gazes down at the floor.<br />
<br />
You shake your head at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly says, "Like starting wars, or fires, or plagues."<br />
<br />
You say to Rylento, "Not at all."<br />
<br />
Aislynn gazes upward.<br />
<br />
Enthien says to Rylento, "It's quite alright, dear."<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "It wasn't a job I asked for."<br />
<br />
You gaze at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento gazes sadly at Enthien.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Rylento, "Don't mind Enthien, her expectations for excitement are unreasonably high."<br />
<br />
You ask Rylento, "Did you not apply for the position?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak sticks his tongue out at Enthien.<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Aislynn quietly asks Rylento, "Is it one you would want someone else doing?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak grins at Enthien, his dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Enthien just blew Ezerak a kiss.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to you, "More like it found me. My parents were thrilled to help make it happen. It's not like they didn't get to know me before I came on."<br />
<br />
Enthien flashes a quick grin.<br />
<br />
Enthien looks over Fariden very closely.<br />
<br />
Mazrian nods to Rylento.<br />
<br />
You say to Rylento, "Do you enjoy the work? Most days, anyway? I think everyone can say their work is not enjoyable every day."<br />
<br />
Enthien studies the ground for a moment.<br />
<br />
You chuckle to yourself.<br />
<br />
Rylento smiles.<br />
<br />
Enthien pats herself down. Whatever.<br />
<br />
Enthien gives a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to you, "The Leader is really very kind. I like helping him do his work."<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
You say to Rylento, "That is really what matters then."<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "Everyone else has always been perfectly appropriate."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You say, "Perfectly appropriate? What a wonderful descriptive."<br />
<br />
Enthien slowly asks, ""Appropriate?"<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "I think I like that."<br />
<br />
Rylento takes a sip of his wine.<br />
<br />
Ezerak nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Maraisel says, "One that has never been used to describe me."<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins.<br />
<br />
Rylento chuckles at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Ezerak looks at Maraisel and sighs.<br />
<br />
Enthien winks at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Maraisel grins.<br />
<br />
You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.<br />
<br />
You say to Maraisel, "This is true."<br />
<br />
Maraisel nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />

<br />
Ezerak takes a sip of his Tequila.<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Rylento.<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to Mazrian, "I've been trying to get around the city more often these days. The Leader has asked me pointedly to keep a pulse on things if I can."<br />
<br />
Mazrian winces.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "He's very interested in life around the city."<br />
<br />
Ezerak takes a sip of his brandy.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "You're not in any trouble, I hope? There's pointedly and.."<br />
<br />
Mazrian pointedly says, "Pointedly."<br />
<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Aislynn chuckles at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
You nod at Mazrian, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
Ezerak takes a sip of his brandy.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chuckles.<br />
<br />
Rylento says to Mazrian, "Oh, I mean, it was just more than a request for coffee is all."<br />
<br />
Rylento asks, "I don't think I was in trouble. Was I?"<br />
<br />
You chuckle.<br />
<br />
Mazrian chuckles.<br />
<br />
Rylento says, "Oh no..."<br />
<br />
Rylento gazes at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Aislynn runs her fingers lightly over her leather fob, and it shines brightly for a moment. Suddenly, a large mug of pecan praline coffee appears in her hand!<br />
<br />
You say, "Unless you consider having drinks with us a punishment."<br />
<br />
You chuckle to yourself.<br />
<br />
Aislynn offers Rylento a large mug of pecan praline coffee.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "You'd know, don't worry."<br />
<br />
Mazrian pats Rylento on the back.<br />
<br />
Rylento offers Aislynn a fluted glass of sparkling white wine.<br />
<br />
Fariden says, "Unless someone is waiting on the coffee."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Rylento chuckles.<br />
<br />
Enthien flashes a quick grin at Mazrian.<br />
<br />
Mazrian raises an eyebrow in your direction.<br />
<br />
You say, "A little of both, I suppose. When the front lines is necessary, I do my best to be there. But when the front lines are not... I do rather enjoy finding ways to bring joy to others."<br />
<br />
Ezerak looks at Enthien and blushes.<br />
<br />

<br />
You nod at Mazrian, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
Ezerak gives you a gentle poke in the ribs.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Are not."<br />
<br />
You say, "Most of my work on the Court was purely political. I was Emissary to the Mountain, so I spent most of my time in communication with Queen Morganae and her family."<br />
<br />
Enthien says to you, "Tell us more, dear."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
You smile at Rylento.<br />
<br />
Rylento exclaims, "Oh!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Maraisel says to Kados, "And pants are apparently a requirement."<br />
<br />
Kados guzzles down some of his whiskey and then smacks his lips and wipes them with his sleeve.<br />
<br />
Mazrian says, "Perhaps we could relax to second best. The Steward here seems like good people."<br />
<br />
Mazrian smiles at Maraisel.<br />
<br />
Maraisel chuckles at Enthien.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
Ezerak nods at Fariden, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
You finish off the rest of it, and set the glass aside.<br />
<br />

<br />
You get a light leather prayer mat tooled with a sheaf of golden grain overlaying a brilliant rising sun from inside your pilgrim's satchel.<br />
<br />
You reverently lay your prayer mat at your feet, smoothing out its corners.<br />
<br />
You humbly kneel in the center of the prayer mat.<br />
<br />
[Shadow's Reach, Plinth]<br />
This hewn plinth of black granite is a perfectly symmetrical ashlar symbolizing the rectitude of a pure soul. The top is charred and blackened with fire, but kept free of ashes by the swift winds.<br />
Also here: Truthseeker Elurora whose figure is gracefully highlighted in a soft aurora of silvery-violet light.<br />
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west.<br />
<br />
You kneel down and begin to pray.<br />
<br />
You feel as if many eyes are judging you and still find you... lacking.<br />
<br />
You silently slip out an oaken icon of the goddess Berengaria from a rugged pilgrim's satchel crafted from oiled leather with polished silver buckles.<br />
<br />
A short, plump woman holds a sheaf of grain with one hand, while her other scratches a cow's ear. Her smile is kindly, but her gaze is direct and thoughtful.<br />
<br />
You gaze at your icon.<br />
<br />
You silently slip an oaken icon of the goddess Berengaria into your pilgrim's satchel.<br />
<br />
You stand back up.<br />
<br />
You carefully gather up the delicate folds of a light leather prayer mat tooled with a sheaf of golden grain overlaying a brilliant rising sun.<br />
<br />
Elurora glances up at the sky.<br />
<br />
You put your mat in your pilgrim's satchel.<br />
<br />
You get a tattered collection of scrawled papers entitled "Confessions and Recantations" from inside your damaged book.<br />
<br />
You set about studying your tattered papers intently. You believe you've learned something significant about Skinning!<br />
<br />
You put your papers in your damaged book.<br />
<br />
You say, "There's always a touch of nerves before these gatherings."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "I can understand, I get nervous when I have to present as well."<br />
<br />
Elurora asks, "Do you find praying helps?"<br />
<br />
You say, "I am blessed to be able to draw on such a peace as prayer brings me."<br />
<br />
Elurora slowly says, "Perhaps I should figure out a prayer for when I feel like punching someone to help bring me peace."<br />
<br />
You say, "I'm not familiar with such a prayer, but I can imagine it being a useful thing."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "I hope Albreda understands either way."<br />
<br />
You say, "I imagine that is the case."<br />
<br />
Nawain says, "That's such a pleasant song."<br />
<br />
Mendira exclaims, "It is!"<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "It is nice when it's chilly or you're damp, thank you."<br />
<br />
Nawain says, "I feel like I drip all through spring, unless there's a warrior mage or a bard near me."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "It's my pleasure."<br />
<br />
Jaelia exclaims, "Just so you know.... my journey here was with a crudely drawn map!"<br />
<br />
Nawain asks, "Don't think I've ever been here. Why's this plinth burned?"<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "You are welcome, Jaelia."<br />
<br />
You say, "Purification sometimes requires fire."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Thank you kindly."<br />
<br />
Nawain says, "Sometimes."<br />
<br />
Elurora quietly says, "Now I should also pray to Albreda to forgive me for that thought..."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Albreda knows peace is never something actually achieved, but it is the balance along the war path to keep civilization in a state of its best being when it is not seeking to empire build."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Civilization is always in a state of conflict, however, it is the internal peace ourselves we achieve that can be found in that choas."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And chaos."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Jaelia, "Maybe, but I don't think she'd appreciate my thought either way."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Elurora, "Then let Harawep have it, let her cut the cords and reweave the web."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Good morning, everyone."<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "Morning, Keth."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "Good morning."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Blessed Dawn and Sun rays upon each of you."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Or ... well... ideally through stormy clouds."<br />
<br />
You say, "Good morning, all. If any have prepared prayers, statements, testimonies, or the like, do please let Mendira know so we can get a proper count of who wishes to share."<br />
<br />
Mendira says to Sofina, "You are welcome."<br />
<br />
Kethrai quietly says to Sofina, "I'm glad to see you here. Good as your word."<br />
<br />
Sofina says to Kethrai, "Im a trust worthy person despite what some might think."<br />
<br />
Elurora lightly says to Betlind, "Hello again, Captain."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Elurora, "Your winnings."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Betlind, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
You say, "Good morning, all. We will begin shortly. If you have prepared statements you wish to share, please do speak with Mendira privately so we can get an accurate count."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Elurora, "And thank you. You earned them."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Betlind, "I'm sure someone better with words would have something clever to say about winning things by getting knocked off a horse..."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Sofina, "Thank you for coming."<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims to Anuril, "And thank you for the breeze!"<br />
<br />
You say to Sofina, "I understand there's some bargin struck to have you join us this morning. You stand acknowledged and welcomed in this place."<br />
<br />
Sofina says, "As long as there is no altar near by, i'll be fine."<br />
<br />
You say to Sofina, "Many faithful, but no divine altars to speak of are so nearby."<br />
<br />
You say, "Beloved congregation, as we gather beneath the sacred canopy of Berengaria's grace, let us delve into the depths of our souls and confront the shadows that linger within. Today, we embark on a journey of enlightenment, guided by the radiant wisdom of the Mother of Dawn."<br />
<br />
You say, "If we might, I'd like to begin with Jaelia."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "It is under a stormy sky that the night stars shine beyond the clouds still, and the dawns rays await to light and warm us still."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "If I may, I'd like to begin with a small poem on grace and patience."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I often speak of tapestries, rivers, storms, lights beyond and traveling the cycle of light to dark ever repeating and our paths in life. It doesn't matter which metaphor you choose, they all come to the same."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "So I will not speak long on this, just my most recent praise to the Immortals and to Phelim - there are times and insights he grants me, things I see within the Community and individuals, potential and fates and things that could be nudged to make a more lovely tapestry and stronger webs to make all things better."<br />
<br />
Betlind softly says, "Praise to Phelim."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "These things take time, take patience, they require grace to overlook as things are and see what more they may be - while not also being foolish."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I hope in time you will see some things as I have, it took 6 years, and it may take even more, but together, the Community and our Faith weave the tapestries that make us all better."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Phelim sent a shard of Star to us today."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And that shard found its way to me."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "We return it to the Stars, and praise that we may have patience and grace as we work through these troubled times and seek the answers for all."<br />
<br />
(Jaelia steps back and bows her head in quiet prayer and nods quickly)<br />
<br />
You say, "In their collective embrace, there is forgiveness for the wayward, redemption for the fallen, and salvation for all who seek it. Their grace knows no bounds - it is a river that washes away the stains of transgressions, the shame of misguided notions, and reveals the truth to tired eyes."<br />
<br />
You say, "And so we continue. Kethrai, if you would please."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Um, I don't have a song or a speech prepared or anything, but it occurred to me that I don't think I've ever talked a great deal about what led me to follow Hodierna the way I do."<br />
<br />
(Tirost's eyes shift from the black granite plinth to Kethrai.)<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "I was raised by my parents in Kaerna in the Prydaen tradition, mostly. They were worshippers of the Triquetra, and I was raised with those stories and songs, but I never felt that much connection to the Kin of my blood."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "But I also didn't really know much about the Immortals. My youth was spiritually... detached, in a way."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "But, there was a year, a very bad year for crops..."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "My parents started encouraging me to spend more time with my friend Bilgin Lufflebough, who was our neighbor. And so I spent a lot of time at his house, and with his family."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "And they fed me any time I came, and usually before I left."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "It was an Olvi household, so this was of course only customary for them..."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "But, they began each meal with saying a word of thanks to Hodierna for providing the bounty that sustained them, and that they were sharing with me, when I would otherwise be going hungry..."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Bilgin's mom, Fannmarie Lufflebough, was my first real spiritual teacher, I think."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "She got me curious, and the more I talked to her, the more I understood how much her generosity of spirit, of time, of material wealth, was something she did in service and praise to Hodierna."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "And she was a true role model to me. I like to think she'd be proud of how I've turned out."<br />
<br />
(Jaelia smiles warmly at Kethrai and nods in understanding)<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "I've learned a lot since then, but the basics of her teachings have never left me and never altered."<br />
<br />
Kethrai quietly says, "That's all, I think."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma quietly says, "Food is a good way to lure people into a belief."<br />
<br />
You say to Kethrai, "Fannmarie Lufflebough is not the only one who swells with pride when noting your accomplishments. Blessed are the Dawnmother's sisters, afterall. We thank you for your reminder of the importants of the hearth."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Gridaksma, "To get through the door, you have to open it first."<br />
<br />
You say, "Listen, brethren, for in the sound of rustling wheat on the morning breeze, you shall hear Berengaria's loving call. It is a call that beckons the sinner to return, to bask once more in the tender glow of Her compassion. The Mother of Dawn does not cast aside those who have strayed."<br />
<br />
You say, "The righteous and vigilant guardians of our faith, the Holy Inquisition, stand charged with the solemn duty to eradicate the blight of Necromancy from our blessed lands. With unwavering resolve, they and the faithful stand as beacons of light, casting aside the veil of darkness that threatens to shroud our world in despair."<br />
<br />
You say, "Let us not underestimate the peril that lurks within the tools of the Necromancer. Obfuscation, intentional deceptions, and cursed theories which deny the danger of the pursuit are all employed to lure recruits. Particularly devious, however, are the accursed knives they wield in their so-called 'Great Work'. These instruments of desecration are imbued with the taint of forbidden arts, carving pathways to damnation and desolation."<br />
<br />
You say, "In the hallowed embrace of Berengaria's light, we must confront the folly of unrepentance. To deny the weight of our sins is to blind ourselves to the truth of our existence. The path of defiance leads only to eternal darkness, where the echoes of regret reverberate through the void."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yet, even in the shadow of our transgressions, Berengaria extends her divine hand, offering redemption to those who dare to seek it. Her love knows no bounds, her mercy transcends the depths of our remorse. Let us heed her call, for in her grace, we find solace and salvation."<br />
<br />
You say, "In the unforgiving light of Berengaria's truth, there is no refuge for the unrepentant. Those who cling to their sins, who defy the sanctity of her teachings, shall find themselves cast adrift in the darkness of their own making. Let their fate serve as a warning to all who would stray from the path of righteousness."<br />
<br />
You feel your knife ring oddly a moment, a pure note of Berengaria's approval of your purpose.<br />
<br />
Betlind softly says, "May the light find them."<br />
<br />
You say, "As we stand at the precipice of judgment, let us embrace the radiance of redemption. Let us cast aside the shackles of our transgressions and bask in the glory of Berengaria's love. For in her divine embrace, we find the strength to confront our sins and emerge reborn, bathed in the brilliance of her eternal dawn."<br />
<br />
(Jaelia gazes up at the sky, squinting and attempting to focus beyond the gathered dark clouds.)<br />
<br />
You say, "Beloved brethren, let us depart from this sacred gathering with hearts uplifted and spirits fortified. May the light of Berengaria guide our steps, illuminating the path to redemption and righteousness. Let us go forth as beacons of her grace, spreading her divine love to all who seek salvation."<br />
<br />
Betlind softly says, "Praise be."<br />
<br />
You say, "In the name of the Mother of Dawn, let us walk the path of righteousness, now and forevermore..."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Praise to the Immortals, may our Paths always be in your Grace, and may you extend your patience to us, even when are unworthy, we praise the lessons and forgiveness you grant us."<br />
<br />
You say, "We may yet stay, now. Together gathered to enjoy the hearth and community spoken of by both Kethrai and Jaelia. I invite you all to remain as you see fit."<br />
<br />
You ask Sofina, "Have we overlooked a willingness to speak in you? Would you like to share?"<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Kethrai, "Thanks for sharing, Kethrai. It's good to remember how far kindness can ripple through one's life."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Once more, wonderful words from both you, Jaelia and Kethrai. Thank you."<br />
<br />
Sofina says to you, "No. I'm just listening and observing. I dont think the things I have to say are welcomed. But we are all intitled to our own beliefs."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Tirost, "I didn't realize until years later how little my parents had to eat that year. I don't think they were willing to accept our neighbors' generosity, even though they would've offered it. But they weren't willing to let me go hungry for their pride."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Sofina, "Thank you for coming and listening, all the same."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Kethrai, "Being a prideful person, I understand that sentiment well, yet I am very glad for the generosity of your neighbor, friend and spiritual advisor."<br />
<br />
Sofina says to Betlind, "There is no harm in showing and listening."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Just so."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Sofina, "Your armor, as promised."<br />
<br />
Mendira says to you, "Thank you."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Sometimes it takes many moments for something to break through. And when those breaks happen, sometimes it hits like a punch to the gut, or like a boulder smashing us, we don't even know how to react or recoil from that event."<br />
<br />
Sofina says, "I dont know anything of Immortals. Not something that was discussed where I'm from."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Sofina, "It was good of you to come."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Ilithi has always been an area where there was more freedom to speak words unpopular."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Sofina, "Well, suppose now you can say you do."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "It may seem like one event - but it is always many steps along the way."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "We've actively thrown the Inquisition out of our province before, when they overstepped their welcome."<br />
<br />
Sofina says to Gridaksma, "Its why I live in Ilithi."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says to Jaelia, "He hit like a gnome too."<br />
<br />
Selame softly says, "Gnomes pack quite the little punch."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Gridaksma, "Gnomes can be pretty compact and tough."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Tirost, "You know, it's just now occurring to me that the story I told might also be related to why my parents decided they wanted to leave Kaerna, and bring me with them..."<br />
<br />
Tirost asks Kethrai, "Were they worried you were straying from their beliefs?"<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Tirost, "And also that they were straying from theirs, maybe. That they'd spent so much time as farmers rather than hunters, the way Demrris taught, and it led them to go hungry."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Those closest to the gods tend to be the ones easiest swayed to oppose them."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Tirost, "I might never come to agree with them, but... I guess it does help to understand them."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to Kethrai, "Far be it for me to say, but I shouldn't wonder if all who have had some hand in your upbringing might take pride in knowing what has become of your way of life, Kethrai."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to you, "I cannot ever truly be one of the Inqusition, although it is a bit of a sematics, however, I support what you do, and am always glad to stand with you on your path."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "I appreciate your message of hope."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Tirost, "I'll hope that's so."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says to Jaelia, "Watch your fellow temple mates. Notice how many of them are only slightly removed from the corruptions. The High Priestess doesn't watch them close enough."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Gridaksma, "It is why I was prepared for this role. It just took a few more decades to hone that spike and hammer I wield to strike things into place when they need to come to a halt or reconsideration."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Gridaksma, "I am not there by choice, but it is the path I was dealt. We make the best of what we have been given, and etiher rise to the occassion or fall as a victim. I will not allow others to suffer that again."<br />
<br />
Tirost says, "Just so."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Thank you, good cat, we need you to keep an eye on Tirost please."<br />
<br />
Tirost says to you, "Farewell, my friend. Gods be with you."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Kintryn needs him in one piece."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "How helpful it must be to have someone to remind one of such things."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Anuril, "What a different relationship they have."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "I believe all the jousting has taken its toll on me, so will be departing myself, I'm afraid."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Tirost, "Thank you for coming."<br />
<br />
You say to Tirost, "Meraud guide you, Knight."<br />
<br />
Tirost warmly says to Betlind, "Thanks for teaching."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Is there anything anyone is looking forward to?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Something less doom and gloomy and sad?"<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims to Elurora, "Again, well tilted at the joust!"<br />
<br />
Jaelia exclaims, "And the joust was amazing yes!"<br />
<br />
Elurora exclaims to Betlind, "And you, Captain!"<br />
<br />
Elurora teasingly exclaims to Betlind, "Next time though, aim a little lower!"<br />
<br />
Selame asks Betlind, "Were you one of the Emerald Knights?"<br />
<br />
Betlind exclaims, "We got first place!"<br />
<br />
Akeiro exclaims, "Congratulations!"<br />
<br />
Selame says, "Well earned, it was."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Thank you all again for the wonderful company. Praise to the light and may it all keep you safe."<br />
<br />
Betlind says to Sofina, "And thank you for joining us."<br />
<br />
Sofina says to Betlind, "And thank you."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to you, "Thank you for allowing me to come listen and learn."<br />
<br />
Betlind says, "Enjoy the dawn, friends."<br />
<br />
You say to Elurora, "You came by invitation, not allowance. You need no such permission."<br />
<br />
Elurora says to Kethrai, "Is the nearby bar well enough? It seems a bit chilly to make you sit on the wall."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Elurora, "Yes, seems as good a place as any."<br />
<br />
Elurora says, "Be safe all."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "Safe paths to you."<br />
<br />
Anuril says, "These dawn vigils certainly are....dawn-y."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "They are always early. And I have been awake a while."<br />
<br />
Akeiro says, "So it is dawn."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Dawn is always somewhere in our lives, however."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Just depends if you are willing to seek it."<br />
<br />
Jaelia exclaims, "There we go!"<br />
<br />
Selame says, "Seeking the dawn at the top of the mountain is the best."<br />
<br />
Anuril says, "Good day, everyone."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Anuril, "You can also tell me to shush in the future if needed."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Dunno how good it will do you but -."<br />
<br />
Selame says to Anuril, "Or tell her to breathe."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Just in case."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "You wouldn't be the first nor the last."<br />
<br />
Akeiro quietly says to Selame, "Feeling lazy I have procured us a ride."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I think I am ready to return home and to my Community."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Oh can I join?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Is it back to Crossings?"<br />
<br />
Selame softly says to Akeiro, "Sending to Illiyas."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I miss my Community and wish to visit with them a bit before I seek the Visions of Phelim and Dreams before sleep."<br />
<br />
Selame asks, "You aren't going to go the the campfire?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Of course4 I am."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "I am a Foxy Teacher, am I not?"<br />
<br />
Selame asks, "I mean, yes?"<br />
<br />
Selame asks Jaelia, "Just how much alcohol do we need to bring?"<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says to you, "Good luck with your endeavors. You have been around here long enough to know to what lengths we will tolerate it."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Selame, "You always got the right touch."<br />
<br />
You say to Gridaksma, "I know how to find you when your council is needed. I suspect, it will be."<br />
<br />
You say, "I am more concerned about cohesion of operations in the north than I am in Ilithi, at the moment."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "We do tend to handle our affairs quieter down this way."<br />
<br />
You say, "Ilithi's tolerence is well known to me, I've lived here all my life. Which, comparitively may be but a short time. My goals are not the same as the Inquisition you may remember."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "And our temple leadership isn't close family with necromancy."<br />
<br />
You say, "Depending on which family you speak, I'd argue it's closer."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "They claimed that too. The number of times the temple tried to question my devotion and failed has made me a bit more than jaded."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Muspar'i it's father and son, Rivercrossing it's Brothers, and I know they were closer than brothers tend to be."<br />
<br />
You say, "I make no proclimations of understanding when it comes to Elven history."<br />
<br />
You say, "My purpose, however, is divinely charged. I will not be swayed by province, proclimation, or edict. Their gathering places will be rooted, their tools will be destoryed. Light I may speak of often, but it will be fire that I deploy."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yet they need but return to the light to find me no longer on the hunt."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "You sound like the grave digger. That is not a compliment."<br />
<br />
You say, "Khurek and I do have so very little in common."<br />
<br />
You say, "And yet, there may be some things we do share. As you might expect, when I have attempted to speak with him there has been violence."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "The way you spoke was exactly as he did when he came here."<br />
<br />
You ask, "What would you have me do?"<br />
<br />
You say, "Ignore the charge of the Mother of Dawn? The path the Thirteen have set me upon is most clear."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Keep a guard upon yourself and examine your motives and actions at every turn. There will be a time when the power and the work will give you tunnel vision. Guard against that."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "You cannot ignore your purpose anymore than I can. I'm no stranger to divine guidance and direct intervention."<br />
<br />
You ask, "This is why I asked what would you have me do?"<br />
<br />
You say, "I cannot step a toe into Theren without risk of starting up something with the Watch."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "The Watch took up residence in a tower corrupted, perhaps their lord should be looking closer at them."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yes, agreed. I do not believe I will be able to sway that Lord, however. Even with the seal of the Inquisition at my disposal and a well inked quill."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "Be good to these lands and not heavy handed with its people and I will not become a hinderance to your work."<br />
<br />
You say, "You need not threaten. I know an enemy when I gaze upon it."<br />
<br />
You say, "And you are not that."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "It's truly not a threat. Just making sure my stance is open and known. I have grown tired of burning down strongholds."<br />
<br />
You say, "Please understand. Ilithi is *my homse* too."<br />
<br />
You say, "I have lived between Shard and the Dark Hand for all the days I have drawn breath."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "The Inquisition has a way of making people forget about those ties in time."<br />
<br />
You say, "I have no desire to see it become an ashen home fit only for Nricacsha."<br />
<br />
You say, "I will heed your guidance with grace, Lord of Elamiri."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "I should attend to some paperwork that I've been putting off."<br />
<br />
Gridaksma says, "May Huldah turn his gaze from you both."<br />
<br />
You say, "I grow tired of having so few allies. Everyone sees the need to threaten and I offer nothing but a chance to embrace the light."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "We mortals must bicker, it seems."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "She never promised Her path would be free from weariness, I fear."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "You spoke very well. I hope he well reflect upon your words in time."<br />
<br />
You say, "Without you, I'd not manage this."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "I'm not sure whether you would or not."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "Best not attempt otherwise."<br />
<br />
You say, "I am certain of it."<br />
<br />
You say, "Without you I might well be the raging fire the accuse me to be."<br />
<br />
Mendira says, "Then I suppose I shall have to stay here beside you."<br />
<br />
Mendira asks, "Shall we go home?"}}</div>KIDDB2https://elanthipedia.play.net/OpalinaOpalina2024-02-08T20:16:23Z<p>EVYNTINE: </p>

==Appearance==<br />
You see Indomitable Fortress '''Voranos Blackfire''', Spectral Dragon of Ilithi, a [[Gnome]].<br><br />
Voranos has a square-jawed face with a pair of expressive eyebrows, one seeming to be stuck in a perpetual dramatic arch while the other is frozen in a scrunch, slightly pointed ears and blazing emerald eyes. He is bald, with rippling muscles bulging beneath slightly tanned skin and an extremely powerful, well-defined build.<br><br />
He is shockingly small for a Gnome.<br><br />
He has a tattoo of black flames that radiate from his palms that rises along his arms and merges in a tight spiral before the flames coalesce at the collarbones to form a coiled void-black vortex on his chest.<br><br />
<br />
He is wearing a high wizard's hat with embroidered chaotic blackfire ascending a towering tip, a Teiro's Hate ruby kirm mysanda strung upon Urrem'tier bloodvines and iron, a weighted dragon bone robe draped in a tattered stormsilk half cape, some thick dragon bone sleeves set with Imperial sapphire claws, a tenebrous wizard's carryall with elemental symbols set in stitched black fire, a demonscale assassin's pack clasped by a coiled dragon, a dragon's heart ring and an itty-bitty pair of combat boots with icesteel grommets.<br />
<br />
==Of Note==<br />
* Domain is Ilithi.<br />
* Current member of [[The Grey Dragons]], a Warden within their ranks.<br />
* Tournament Director of the [[Wyvern Trials]].<br />
* Dragon familiar is Embrius<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
* 336 - Born in [[Albaria]]<br><br />
* 355 - Curiously, sightings began of Voranos wondering the [[Shard]] area about this time and he aligned with the [[Warrior Mage]] guild.<br><br />
<br />
==Embrius==<br />
{| cellpadding="10"<br />
|[[File:Embrius.jpg|frameless|200px|alt=Embrius Portrait]]<br />
|You notice a majestic dragon with fiery crimson eyes and void-black scales.<br><br />
<br />
The sight of this great beast is staggering, as tremors of raw arcane power radiate from each of its void-black scales. Wings stretch majestically outwards on both sides of the body, while wickedly sharp spikes run down the back and culminate in a tail equipped with a brutally barbed spade. Vicious red talons dig heavily into the ground with each step, as if the elements themselves were tied to the creature. A mysterious rage burns deeply within its fiery crimson gaze.<br><br />
<br />
'''Voranos is desperately trying to kick Embrius's addiction to gnome treats and is seeking information on the sick individual who created them.'''<br></div>WMBCChttps://elanthipedia.play.net/EmeowEmeow2024-02-04T01:07:02Z<p>XIABHAN: </p>

<br />
[General][Dasheek] "A few of us are discussing Zoluren defense at the bar at Taelbert's Inn, should anyone be interested in some conversation over a few drinks. Will be here for a bit."<br />
<br />
You go west.<br />
<br />
[Taelbert's Inn, Bar]<br /><br />
Bursts of laughter and excited shouts ring out from a game of dice being played at a corner table. Other tables and chairs are scattered haphazardly through the room, but most of the regulars perch on high stools near the bar. Apparently, the view of the buxom barmaid is more enticing from that angle.<br /><br />
You also see a barmaid and the menu.<br /><br />
Also here: Sothios who is engulfed by a tsunami of cerulean light, Soul Surgeon Zynell who is sitting, Community Voice Jaelia, Tempest Knight Saragos who has a fiery visage, Strawberry Nurse Illiya, Danger Wizard Dasheek who has a stony visage and Comrade in Arms Navesi.<br /><br />
Obvious exits: east.<br />
<br />
Jaelia hugs you, and you give her a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Illiya beams at you! What a warm feeling!<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Navesi smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Zynell smiles at you.<br />
<br />
You hug Jaelia who gives you a smile in return. A faint scent of starflowers clings to her skin.<br />
<br />
You hug Illiya who gives you a smile in return. A faint scent of strawberries clings to her skin.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hello, everyone."<br />
<br />
Illiya hugs you, and you give her a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Being a member of the White Gladiolus is a big help, I would think."<br />
<br />
You hug Navesi. A faint scent of copper clings to her skin.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "You could even lay the groundwork at one of the meetings by letting people know, "Persons X, Y, and Z have agreed to run battle groups. When things are happening, look for one of them to organize around."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to you.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "It really is."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Speaking of.. Welcome, Allye."<br />
<br />
Zynell bows her head and mutters a short prayer in a hushed voice. Raising her head, she glances to the shadows with a knowing smile.<br />
<br />
Saragos tips his hat to you with a courteous nod.<br />
<br />
You flash a quick grin at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
You nod amiably at Saragos.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Plus we have the VIP room with the good cigars."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "We were just knocking around ideas and barriers to organization in Zoluren."<br />
<br />
You say, "So true."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I know the purpose of the Gladiolus is to run social things, but it does make an easy place to also allow members to pivot to discussions on defense and other Zoluren related things."<br />
<br />
Navesi asks Illiya, "You are an Empath, yes?"<br />
<br />
Illiya nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "At this point, there are no barriers anymore, people just need to step up, the Community is waiting."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Its formed enough to join you if someone only speaks up and takes the lead a bit."<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Illiya, "Perhaps you, Allye, and the Clerics here could form a little plan for a triage group too? If that is your thing anyway."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jaelia, "I think it may be a little more complicated than that, but now is a better time than any."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Sure, we could make a triage plan."<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "Would the royalty object?"<br />
<br />
Jessalyne chuckles.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Frankly, at this point, if they react in any way, I'd be pleased just to see them."<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Navesi, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
You chortle softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Navesi gazes down at the floor.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Dasheek, "It really isn't. I've been running data points and trends and extrapolation for ... what I guess is 6 years since my return at the not this but Prior Hallow Eve Fest? There are a few tiny details, but mostly, it is people stepping up and keeping it simple and not overly complicated."<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Dasheek, "Just do what you need to do. Nobody's going to get angry if it works."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Royalty isnt doing anything about it."<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Navesi quietly says, "I'm afraid it isn't funny. Our prince is no longer paying attention to us, and that is a sad thing."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Its time the people stand for themselves."<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "As long as the group does not take old names or act in an official capacity, the royalty will likely stay out of the way."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Zynell.<br />
<br />
You give Navesi a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Zynell.<br />
<br />
Dasheek ponders.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "The taking of old names might encourage objection?"<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "Not might."<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "Will."<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Ah."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I've been reading up on the Zoluren Militia, and it was a powerful and honorable group."<br />
<br />
Navesi takes off a cracked sandstone orb embedded with amethysts.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "For what it's worth, I did something like what I suggested for the Basalt Isle Raid. I put together some groups of people that already liked working together who I knew were solid and encouraged folks to join them."<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "It was officially retired."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Navesi, I remember and I think you do too, when his Father died. The problem was, I was also with ... I guess it was the Lady in Waiting, at that time, with a front mirror seat, and I was not kind. I know you know him better. But I remember how different things were. The prince will show again, or other nobles will. As long as we show them the community doesn't seek to overthrow them or challenge them, but only to be supportive and protect the city, they will show in time. But we must do it ourselves. This is an opportunity to do it right, without the political barriers and overly involved stuffy nobility may want to put in place. Not that he is like that, but this is the best time, and they will come out of hiding if we do this."<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "Attempts at reviving or name taking will provoke retaliation."<br />
<br />
Zynell nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Alright."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Navesi, "Of course you remember you had it all the Papers, sorry didn't mean to sound with that tone."<br />
<br />
Navesi gazes thoughtfully at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Navesi, "I think this community has been so - chaotic and not its own distinct culture for awhile, that they just fell out of sight because there was no reason to step forward."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I did not write about Prince Vorclaf's death. I was a child then, I'm afraid. But I hear what you are saying."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne rubs her nose.<br />
<br />
Sothios smirks.<br />
<br />
Jaelia exclaims to Navesi, "I'm sorry, I remember when you founded the Paper. I thought you had - but maybe that was someone else - but you would have and you are just so young looking but so wise, I asssume you know everything!"<br />
<br />
You ask, "Would it be feasible then to start a new militia-style group for the province?"<br />
<br />
Jessalyne tiredly says, "Jaelia's correct about not overcomplicatin' things. Don't gatekeep yourselves, people will try to do it enough to you already."<br />
<br />
Zynell nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say, "There seemed to be some interest at the recent meeting."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Raven Queen Chelinde just arrived, leading her group.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Chelinde!<br />
<br />
Raikage nods politely.<br />
<br />
Illiya just hugged Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Anyway, you are correct that we have an opportunity here. I would put out of our minds 'doing it right' though, because that is impossible. Simply doing it will have to be enough."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I was very concerned to learn that it didnt' exist."<br />
<br />
Sothios shakes Raikage's hand.<br />
<br />
Raikage pats Sothios on the back.<br />
<br />
Navesi nods politely to Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Sothios just hugged Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Chelinde smiles, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Action today is better than the Perfection Moment that will never arrive."<br />
<br />
Slarc asks, "Are we here to discuss the Nothern Dragons guiding forces into our city?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Dasheek, "There are laws against a Formal militia - it's a huge thing, the orders cannot join official militias even, we would have to leave our Orders to do so."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Killed myself blowin 2 plademaster boxes in a row."<br />
<br />
Sothios grins at Raikage.<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "This is a good gathering to discuss such a topic as the defense of zoluren."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Jaelia said people need to step up. I think that's true, but I want to be clear - it can't be me, at least right now. I can support, I can try to show up at times you ask me to, and I can lead a group if I'm available - I know a thing or two about it by now - but that's the limit."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Raikage flashes a wide grin.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Not exactly. But not NOT exactly, either."<br />
<br />
Navesi leans on Saragos.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "We can do it as a group?"<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "I'm very busy right now, and my organizing time is mostly focused on the Plane of Electricity."<br />
<br />
You nod to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Blademaster too..."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I too would like to support."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Yes. A defense meeting would be a perfect time to discuss banning outside forces from interfering and aiding the enemy."<br />
<br />
Raikage flashes a wide grin at Slarc.<br />
<br />
Zynell grins at Slarc.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And maybe a few groups, so unlike the Watch, we have a few forces who have differing tactics and don't allow people like Krenze to adapt to just one tactic, for example."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Like when the Northern Dragons opened a portal into Zoluren."<br />
<br />
Sothios grins at Slarc.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "For Krenze."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Our enemy."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I'd like to think we've grown as a community some, though. Perhaps we can share in leadership duties over time. No need for any one person to do everything."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Navesi gives Slarc a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Saragos asks, "Random question - I know we've got Empaths. Are there even any notable Zoluren Paladins at the moment?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I'm not familiar with that, as I was away. However, "banning" defensive aide is not something we want to be doing."<br />
<br />
Illiya takes a deep breath, looking serene and determined.<br />
<br />
Navesi says to Slarc, "We are discussing the various threats to Zoluren and how we, not the North, will respond."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Aid."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "For our enemy."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Is a good thing to ban."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne quietly says, "Seydin."<br />
<br />
You say to Saragos, "Betlind, perhaps."<br />
<br />
Dasheek laughs!<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Though I think it best to consider Therengia our ally."<br />
<br />
Navesi nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Aid to the enemy is a different story. Your terms are unfamiliar to me."<br />
<br />
Chelinde wrinkles her nose.<br />
<br />
Ruella just arrived.<br />
<br />
Sothios asks, "Noone worth a crap really, I think Bet?"<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I would not call people aiding Krenze our allies."<br />
<br />
Zynell nods to Sothios.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I'll not defend Kaldean, as his actions were wrong and he has apologiezed and repented for them, but he is not nor has he ever been a member of the North."<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "I am afraid I need to be attending to my family now. I'm glad to see discussion continue, though."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "His apology is meaningless."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Jaelia just hugged Navesi.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Citizens died."<br />
<br />
Jaelia just hugged Saragos.<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Dasheek shakes Navesi's hand.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Take care, everyone."<br />
<br />
Navesi shakes Dasheek's hand.<br />
<br />
You nod politely to Navesi.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "I don't know where this is coming from that he's from Theren. He's not affiliated with them."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Navesi, "Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your wisdom on this matter."<br />
<br />
Navesi smiles at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Navesi says, "Any time."<br />
<br />
Comrade in Arms Navesi goes east.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "He is a northern dragon."<br />
<br />
Illiya nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Raikage grins at Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Illiya nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "I'm afraid no one knows what you mean by that."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I think Kaldean's actions, while very unfortunate, where an action that was going to happen no matter what. There is a lot of underbrewing political tension, and we do have to deal with that too. Just know its a thing, and we want to avoid it whenever possible as much as possible."<br />
<br />
Illiya nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Slarc asks, "Oh, grey watch?"<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Whatever they are."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Tomato, pastry."<br />
<br />
Sothios asks, "Grey Dragons?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I think it was an individual acting alone."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "And I think it was a product of poor organization."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Which is what we're here to discuss."<br />
<br />
Chelinde says, "I mean I can think of many places not in the middle of a town that a gate could have been opened."<br />
<br />
Chelinde says, "Or I don't know maybe in their own towns."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Hindsight.."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "It was two people specifically."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Mazrian and Kaldean."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And to some degree - Moon Mages from Crossings should have known you don't just randomly gate to Krenze, he has shown us from the beginning that he uses moon gates to attack, and - the fact that one of our own guilded citizens let that happen is maybe a fault in our communication too."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "A combvined force."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Last I knew the Grey Dragons were not specifically based in Therengia, and they're certainly not the Northern Watch."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "A grey watch, if you will."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "The Grey Dragons are not tied to any particular province."<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "Is this Kaldean fellow a Grey Dragon?"<br />
<br />
Chelinde says, "Just allies to them since they fight together all the time."<br />
<br />
Chelinde smiles at Saragos, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "No, he's not either."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I know Mazrian is not."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Kaldean is a Zoluren citizen."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I see them holding hands quite often."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "That is all."<br />
<br />
Ruella glides east.<br />
<br />
You say, "As mentioned before, perfection is not the aim at this point. I'm afraid repeatedly focusing on one mistake won't help us. Moving in a better direction for the province to have a solid defense is where we must start."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to you.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Mazrian I believe, Slarc is trying to say via jumbled words - Said something about opening a gweth to the Town Green in Crossings?"<br />
<br />
Sky Knight Kaldean just arrived.<br />
<br />
Illiya beams at Kaldean!<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Mazrian's stood in defense of Zoluren far more times than I have, and I'm willing to stake everything I've got to vouch for him. If he brought harm to Zoluren in any way, it was definitely a mistake."<br />
<br />
Kaldean nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Kaldean, "Hello, traitor."<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to Illiya, "Thank you for the invitation."<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "I think we're getting off topic right now, the mistake made by this Kaldean was a major transgression to the citizens here, we should move on though to talking about the plans for defending Zoluren."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "You bring up a good point, but living in the past is not productive."<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to Raikage, "Agreed to both parts of your sentence."<br />
<br />
Slarc asks, "What past?"<br />
<br />
Raikage nods politely to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I am speaking on current topics."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I thought since you all thought fit to continue dredging up Kaldean's actions he might as well come speak for himself."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nodding graciously, Kaldean bends in a slight bow.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "Oh, Slarc, are you aware that Kaldean is currently bening sentanced by Raikage and do you know of these terms?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Organization would go a long way to squashing these mistakes."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "The northern watch has put a sour taste in many peoples mouths."<br />
<br />
Jaelia gives Slarc a gentle poke in the ribs.<br />
<br />
Sothios nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You nod amiably at Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Saragos gets a tiny tower-shaped glass of Crystal Tequila garnished with a twist of lime from inside his leather rucksack.<br />
<br />
Saragos slowly empties his lungs.<br />
<br />
Saragos takes a sip of his Tequila.<br />
<br />
Zynell nods at Sothios, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "And let's also address another elephant in the room."<br />
<br />
Dasheek gazes at Jessalyne.<br />
<br />
Slarc asks, "Will he be stripped of his citizenship?"<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "It seems fitting."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jessalyne, "Being that this is an informal gathering, your presence has been tolerated."<br />
<br />
You say, "I need a drink, I think."<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Jessalyne, "Ah, and a necromancer."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks Slarc, "So we understand your point, and perhaps can table it temporarily, it is being dealt with, but I also need you to know how you feel about a defensive force, and being also a counter force to that to keep things different and not in one force so that our enemies can pin us down, or smething like that?"<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Lovely."<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at you, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says to Dasheek, "Good to see you too, lad."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "A traitor and a necromancer."<br />
<br />
The waiter slides a tall glass of silvery white wine across the bar. You pay him 50 copper kronars for it.<br />
<br />
You get a tall glass of silvery white wine from atop the bar.<br />
<br />
Saragos takes a sip of his Tequila.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jessalyne, "Anything more formal, and due to the laws of this land, we will not tolerate it."<br />
<br />
Dasheek gazes at Jessalyne.<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks Raikage, "You gave Slarc the good booze didn't you?"<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine, savoring its mellow and fragrant bouquet.<br />
<br />
Jaelia rolls her eyes.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne asks Dasheek, "Was that all, then?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I'm older than anyone in this room. I'm no "lad"."<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I bring the good booze wherever I go."<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "I think Kaldean will be much more useful in assisting in helping move troops if needed when called. If he wishes to tithe and contribute to the orphans, then all the more better."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jessalyne, "It was as friendly a warning as you'll get."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I agree."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says to Dasheek, "Perhaps we'n move on to being productive, then."<br />
<br />
Nodding graciously, Kaldean bends in a slight bow.<br />
<br />
You smile at Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods at Raikage, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jessalyne, "That ship seems to have sailed a bit ago."<br />
<br />
You ask Kaldean, "Are you interested in joining, if there were one or more new defensive groups in Zoluren?"<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says, "Not wrong, I suppose."<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "Unless all here are willing to drop prior grievances?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Kaldean, "I do not know you, but I am Jaelia Evensong. I understand why you did what you did, and understand you are making restitution. But while beating yourself up, I would also much rather have you working to aid the citizens of today and the future too."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Kaldean, "I mean other than by name."<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to Raikage, "I appreciate the sentiment. I will do what I can to continue to make up for the lapse in judgment. That road is just beginning, not yet near the end."<br />
<br />
Saragos asks Dasheek, "If I can throw my two Kronars in on that subject?"<br />
<br />
Illiya taps an indurium phoenix with eyes of canary diamond that she is holding.<br />
<br />
Raikage nods to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Slarc appears to be whispering to those in his company.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "Please do."<br />
<br />
Chelinde gazes at Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine, savoring its mellow and fragrant bouquet.<br />
<br />
Raikage whispers something to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Raikage nods to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Slarc gives a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Slarc grows still, fixing Kaldean with a cold, calculating look and lowering his tail slightly.<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to you, "I appreciate too your invitation. I think it is yet premature. I have work yet to do."<br />
<br />
Mage Slayer Golameth just arrived, leading his group.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Golameth.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Kalinandra.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra grins, revealing her dimples.<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to you, "But, as stated, I greatly appreciate the heart behind the ask."<br />
<br />
Nodding graciously, Kaldean bends in a slight bow.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Look, Zoluren's chaotic. You're wanting to bring a modicum of order to that chaos, but work with it. So focus on that. Act as if any time you're speaking in public that one of the Perverse Necromancers is hearing you, because you never know if they are. But trying to tell people they can't stand and fight is just going to result in chasing after that all the time instead of organizing a defense."<br />
<br />
You give Kaldean a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Golameth gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra grins at Golameth, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You nod to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "I hope I've got enough of a reputation of fighting against the Demonic and their pawns to not have anyone take me as supporting them when I say that."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Saragos, "Noted, and it has been dealt with."<br />
<br />
Raikage nods politely to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "Many a time the necromancers have been productive and assistive in the aid of zoluren defenses."<br />
<br />
Illiya hugs Kalinandra, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
You smile at Raikage.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne quietly says, "And the plane as a whole."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Zynell nods.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "And that aid is not being shunned. Just a precendence being set. The law is the law, after all."<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks Raikage, "Would you or some of your family members be willing to consider joining the White Gladiolas Social Group as its become a launching place to pivot to the Discussion of the Defense of Zoluren, at least until that can separate into its own thing, or if it stays connected and people defend and are social as they choose that is great?"<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Arent many active left , most have been run off."<br />
<br />
Golameth shakes his head at Kalinandra.<br />
<br />
Zynell says to Sothios, "Most of the interesting ones have been."<br />
<br />
Zynell nods to Sothios.<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Jaelia, "That is a very generous request, I will take it to them of course."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra grins at Golameth, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
You smile at Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Raikage, "Not to discuss what you want to do on your own, just to join the conversation, and so you have a voice. Thank you for the consideration."<br />
<br />
Raikage nods to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "So, I think we all agree more organization is necessary? Any dissent?"<br />
<br />
Illiya closes her eyes and settles into a graceful stance.<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Organized is good."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "To clarify, it must always be referred to as an Unofficial organization, I cannot stress how important this is to every Zoluren Order."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "No Black Fox can join unless that is very clear."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I have plenty of dissent in me, yes."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Speak it."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Slarc, "There is probably an outhouse around you can relieve that later."<br />
<br />
Golameth gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Jaelia, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "I'd suggest some training, too. Get some people ready to lead groups, and get some practice under their belts."<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Jaelia, "I would hate to sully your home, but if you insist."<br />
<br />
Reriyn just arrived.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Jaelia, "The Ravens will always take the defense of Zoluren in our interest, and helping to organize it would be fine as well."<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Jaelia, "Agreed completely. Unofficial is the way to do this. Official carries too much baggage."<br />
<br />
You bow your head, acknowledging Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Kaldean smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Saragos!<br />
<br />
Jaelia lets out a hearty cheer for Saragos!<br />
<br />
Jaelia lets out a hearty cheer for Raikage!<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Slarc, "You are always a welcome guest."<br />
<br />
Saragos takes a sip of his Tequila.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Slarc.<br />
<br />
You ponder the meaning of Saragos's existence.<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Training isnt bad either but...."<br />
<br />
Sothios asks, "Whos gonna lead that?"<br />
<br />
Zynell says to Sothios, "Anuril was leading the combat training group thing last."<br />
<br />
You ask, "Unofficial defensive groups, is that what you both are referring to?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia asks, "We should set up a few people, maybe a group of 3-5 or whoever wants to be willing to train and take up group leadership just to make sure people know the basics, and are the default leads of groups, or default communication points, as many needed?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I'd be willing to lead some group-leading training. I have some experience fighting in a group."<br />
<br />
Dasheek winks at Illiya.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
You nod to Jaelia.<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "Who here wishes to lead groups in defense of Zoluren, and is also unfamiliar with leading groups in combat?"<br />
<br />
Shadow Hunter Maltris just arrived.<br />
<br />
Knight Penitent Briaen just arrived.<br />
<br />
Golameth shakes his head as if clearing it.<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Maltris!<br />
<br />
Jaelia beams at Briaen!<br />
<br />
Golameth asks Dasheek, "Explosions towards enemy...right?"<br />
<br />
Kalinandra hugs Maltris, who wraps his arms around Kalinandra with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Maltris hugs Kalinandra, getting a smile in return.<br />
<br />
Briaen nods graciously at Jaelia, giving her a polite smile.<br />
<br />
Illiya grins at Golameth, her dimples flashing into view.<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "Dasheek is a very capable mage, there is no question about that."<br />
<br />
Maltris smiles at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks Golameth, "Of course. When has it ever been otherwise?"<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra shakes her head as if clearing it.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Dasheek, "Respectfully, I've got some experience, but practice working together is never bad. I'd try to get even the experienced folks to do that."<br />
<br />
Golameth looks at Dasheek and shrugs.<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to Maltris, "Good to see you."<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "I prefer triage, mobile or stationary."<br />
<br />
Maltris smiles at Saragos.<br />
<br />
Zynell shrugs.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Another necromancer."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Wonderful."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "I dont mind helpin, however that may be."<br />
<br />
Saragos sighs.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Briaen, "Do not mind Slarc, he is still grumpy."<br />
<br />
Chelinde hugs Maltris, who wraps his arms around Chelinde with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Maltris hugs Chelinde, who wraps her arms around Maltris with a warm smile.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Perhaps the hounds will stop by and rid the land of this concentrated taint."<br />
<br />
Briaen says to Jaelia, "I'm not even certain I know what a Slarc is."<br />
<br />
Raikage grins at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Let the official folks deal with them.. You're wasting your time and energy."<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Maltris, "Glad you could make it."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne slowly empties her lungs.<br />
<br />
Zynell leans back against Sothios with a loving smile.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Raikage, "Apologies for my tardiness."<br />
<br />
Sothios smiles at Zynell.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says, "I think I shall go enjoy what is left of my birthday.."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "This is just a conversation at a bar.."<br />
<br />
You smile at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Maltris leans on you.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Speaking of which...."<br />
<br />
Jaelia gets a shot of Darkstone Whiskey from atop the bar.<br />
<br />
Zynell whispers something to Sothios.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her Whiskey.<br />
<br />
Jaelia gets a shot of Darkstone Whiskey from atop the bar.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her Whiskey.<br />
<br />
Sothios nods to Zynell.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says to Dasheek, "You don't know me from Lanival. I don't take offense. But I'll show up, eh."<br />
<br />
Jaelia gets a glass of sparkling cider from atop the bar.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her cider.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Jessalyne, "Happy birthday. Seek redemption."<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Briaen, "A slarc is a thing that will cut your tainted throat in your sleep and send you off to meet your spiraled fate."<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Maltris, "A ranger is always on time, once he finds the trail."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Jessalyne, "I know you from Lanival..."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says to Maltris, "We can share a slice of cake later."<br />
<br />
Raikage looks at Maltris, obviously trying not to grin.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "I testified against you at your trial."<br />
<br />
Briaen laughs at Slarc.<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says, "Mmh. I'm sorry, Whiteburn mutilated my soul so badly while she was torturing me I don't remember."<br />
<br />
Jaelia gasps at Maltris!<br />
<br />
Jessalyne says, "You know, those things the Inquisition does."<br />
<br />
You take a sip of the wine.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Yes, some of us here know these things, and are not on your path."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "I shall drink to them."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I do not hold judgement either way however, I only care about Zoluren protection."<br />
<br />
Golameth says to Kalinandra, "This is why the Ilithi is so much nicer."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra asks Golameth, "Right?"<br />
<br />
Kalinandra leans back against Golameth with a loving smile.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Not right now at least."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says to Golameth, "Politics does my head in."<br />
<br />
Jessalyne gives a slight nod.<br />
<br />
Philosopher Jessalyne saunters east.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Agreed - back to defense."<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
Golameth nods to Kalinandra.<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "Maltris and I have discussed forming a specialized strike force if that is needed."<br />
<br />
Reriyn goes east.<br />
<br />
Raikage nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Saragos asks Raikage, "Specialized in what way?"<br />
<br />
You ask, "May I ask why unofficial groups are considered preferable? Would coordination not be simpler with a central organization?"<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "We are capable scouts."<br />
<br />
Saragos nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Kaldean nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "If needed we can also strike before the enemey is aware."<br />
<br />
Kaldean says to Raikage, "Few have better eyes nor stalker's talents than you, agreed."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says to you, "Less politics is better politics."<br />
<br />
Raikage nods politely to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
You say to Kalinandra, "The politics seems unavoidable either way, but I suppose that is true."<br />
<br />
Golameth waggles his fingers mystically at Kaldean. How nice.<br />
<br />
You give Kalinandra a wry grin.<br />
<br />
Kaldean smiles at Golameth.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks Raikage, "Would you and Maltris be willing to put together a group of scouts for potential dangers to Zoluren, then?"<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "It can be one group, it just must be unofficial it is actually against all order Charters in Zoluren to join an Official Militia, you cannot be in a Zoluren based Order and be affiliated with any Official group that has militia or fighting as part of its official purpose."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says, "Least unofficial is just bickering amongst the commoners, no government to appease."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Dasheek, "Yes, we'll be recruiting as well."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods.<br />
<br />
Saragos says to you, "I can give you my answer. All of official orders have a specific mission you can't change. Means you'll have to shoehorn your purpose into that and risk running afoul of their charter. Second, official orders are required to run in a certain way, which probably won't work for this. Third, the tempo of activity they need to keep up is rough on a militia type organization."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Very good."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "And Zoluren Law, for official militias to exist, or at least rules, its a big thing."<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Sothios smiles at Raikage.<br />
<br />
Raikage looks at Chelinde, obviously trying not to grin.<br />
<br />
Chelinde giggles at Raikage.<br />
<br />
Golameth gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
You say, "Ah, an Order."<br />
<br />
You babble unintelligibly for a while.<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods.<br />
<br />
Illiya nods to you.<br />
<br />
You say, "I misunderstood the definitions."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "We also must not take any historical name, apparently."<br />
<br />
You grin sheepishly.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I think you were talking about different things."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say to Saragos, "I'm completely in agreement there."<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Dasheek, "Not just to scout, but to strike as well."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "For example, I cannot be a Black Fox, and - then go decide I want to become a Raven for fun on the side. I'd have to leave that Order."<br />
<br />
You tilt your head with a curious expression.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I'm very much in favor of scouts being enabled to take advantage of tactical openings as they see them. So long as the information is relayed."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Not that I have plans to do that, but its the most clear cut example I have with me as an example."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra asks, "Since when are Black Fox and Ravens mutually exclusive?"<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I don't think they are."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I couldn't go join the Northern Watch either."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says, "Pretty sure you could."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I hate waiting for information from scouts that have been slain because they thought they could get away with a stab-and-grab."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says, "Only one of those three are an Order."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Yes."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "The Northern Watch's bar is very low."<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "You could actually."<br />
<br />
Chelinde appears to be whispering to those in her company.<br />
<br />
Chelinde folds her arms across her chest.<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Only BF is official."<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Dasheek, "I've never missed an order yet."<br />
<br />
Raikage winks at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "Orders you can be in one of but you could also be a raven, watch, or other group."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Yes, but all two of those three are organizations that officially do fight, and - its a grey area at best, and we prefer to keep it very clear, Zoluren can get very murky in those areas."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra says to Zynell, "Supposing you could surive the peopling involved in negotiating that life."<br />
<br />
Kalinandra chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Golameth gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "That is why I make the suggestion just keep it clear."<br />
<br />
Zynell says to Kalinandra, "Correct."<br />
<br />
Sothios grins at Kalinandra.<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I don't know about all the ins and outs of who can join what, nor do I think it matters. My personal opinion is that whoever wishes to stand for the defense of Zoluren is welcome."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
You nod at Dasheek, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hear, hear."<br />
<br />
Raikage looks at Jaelia, obviously trying not to grin.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Its unofficial its a moot point you are correct, many Foxes will be glad to hear of it."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "My suggestion is not to worry too much about what organizations people are part of. If they're willing to stand and fight for Zoluren, run with that. The more you restrict who can be a part of this, the more you're going to get into politics and people not liking you for one reason or another."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Focus on the fighting."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
You nod to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Illiya nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Nodding graciously, Kaldean bends in a slight bow.<br />
<br />
Jaelia bows to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Illiya waves to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
You say, "I am willing to join as a healer on any of the teams that may need one."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Kaldean.<br />
<br />
Zynell holds out her hand towards you for a highfive.<br />
<br />
You grin at Zynell.<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "I dont mind helpin, however that may be."<br />
<br />
You raise your hand and highfive Zynell!<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "I would be happy to help with either triage or fighting."<br />
<br />
Zynell asks Sothios, "Foot rubs?"<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "For you dear."<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "It sounds like the best way to go about this would be for all of those interested to put together their own team, and communicate with each other."<br />
<br />
Zynell emits a deep rumbling noise of contentment at Sothios.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra leans back against Golameth with a loving smile.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Raikage, "You and Maltris running scouts, for instance."<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Dasheek, "We'll still need a few to act as the decision makers as well."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to you, "You and Zynell running triage, et cetera."<br />
<br />
Sothios nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Zynell winks at you.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Raikage, "Got any ideas? I'm willing."<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Too many teams dilutes the fighting forces."<br />
<br />
You grin at Zynell.<br />
<br />
Raikage nods at Maltris, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
You say to Dasheek, "I may be more suited toward healing in the field, but I am happy to help with organizing triage if needed."<br />
<br />
Golameth jabs an elbow into Kalinandra's ribs. The honeymoon must be over.<br />
<br />
Kalinandra gives Golameth a good pinch!<br />
<br />
Jaelia says to Zynell, "I have always heard you are the best known cleric for knowing how to run an excellent triage as a cleric. We don't really have that anymore, Empaths do, its a bit a a free for all with clerics, and I think it would be nice to have some standards, and there are some horrible Triage places people default to, which is ok, I can't force empaths to move but - I'd love to work with you sorting out things and nudging people when things get messy about other spots if it is needed."<br />
<br />
Sothios says, "Needa little organization."<br />
<br />
Sothios nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Zynell says to you, "Being in charge of triage means you get to put other empaths on sitting duty."<br />
<br />
You chortle at Zynell.<br />
<br />
Zynell gives you a mischievous grin.<br />
<br />
Kaldean nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Mage Slayer Golameth skips east, leading his group.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to you, "However you'd like, it was just a suggestion."<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her coffee.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Dasheek, "I think you will be a very capable leader in the defense yes."<br />
<br />
Jaelia takes a sip of her cider.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Raikage, "I think literally anyone would be better than what we have now."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Meaning, no one.."<br />
<br />
Jaelia nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Raikage flashes a wide grin at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Raikage exclaims to Dasheek, "That's the spirit!"<br />
<br />
Raikage pats Dasheek on the back.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Raikage, "In that spirit, I'll be hosting a few lectures on the fighting mindset in the near future."<br />
<br />
Raikage whispers something to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Probably a good plan to get several people known as group leaders. One person can't be here all the time. But Maltris is right - you want your group leaders to be able to agree to combine when the fight is on. A bigger group beats fewer smaller groups unless you have multiple objectives you need to hit."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods at Saragos, obviously agreeing with his views.<br />
<br />
Sothios nods.<br />
<br />
Illiya nods to Saragos.<br />
<br />
Raikage whispers something to Maltris.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Saragos, "I like that idea a lot."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks you, "You mentioned many were interested, were any of those not present today?"<br />
<br />
Maltris whispers something to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I can think of Anuril and Betlind off the top.."<br />
<br />
You say, "Most are here now."<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
You say, "And perhaps Kethrai, though I have not spoke to him about it yet."<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "I really really like that Idea. I think Zoluren's biggest strength is that a lot of different people will come together as needed and make it work even if it seems hodgepodge. If people can communicate, they can come together split and coordinate and surprise things - and that is not something outside forces are accustomed to on approaches, and never really can be, because its so easy to change it up as needed."<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "We could hold a more formal meeting about this."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "This was kind of impromptu so many were not able to be here."<br />
<br />
Kaldean nods to Illiya.<br />
<br />
Raikage says to Maltris, "I'll be in touch with you in a while, I have to go meet with a contact."<br />
<br />
Raikage waves.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Illiya waves to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Kaldean waves to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Sothios snaps to attention and hails Raikage with a crisp hand salute.<br />
<br />
Zynell says to Jaelia, "I have done a lot of triages and have no issue yelling at folk when needed. I am happy to rehost some triage clericing tips and how to work with empaths meetings."<br />
<br />
You lean on Maltris.<br />
<br />
Raikage says, "I'll try to be back soon."<br />
<br />
Maltris nods to Raikage.<br />
<br />
Paragon of Virtue Raikage roves east.<br />
<br />
Slarc fixes Briaen with a cold, reptilian stare.<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks, "I think that's a good idea, Jaelia. It's been a while since I've heard about a triage meeting. The re-emergence of the Gorbesh being the last time, maybe?"<br />
<br />
Dasheek asks you, "Would you like to schedule another, more formal meeting for the defense of Zoluren? Maybe with WGS hosting?"<br />
<br />
Illiya touches the tattoo on her arm and closes her eyes in concentration.<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
You say, "Of course, I'd be happy to."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "One rois."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "No, it'll need to be further out than that."<br />
<br />
Dasheek grins at Jaelia.<br />
<br />
Kaldean smirks at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Chelinde nibbles her lip thoughtfully.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Maybe more like one month's time (ooc: 2 weeks, to get it on the calendar?)."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
You say, "At least, yes."<br />
<br />
Zynell nods to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Good deal. I feel like we may actually be able to accomplish something."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Should we be able to bury old hatchets."<br />
<br />
You smile at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Zynell says, "That is usually how it seems in the beginning."<br />
<br />
Zynell playfully tilts her ears in opposite directions.<br />
<br />
Slarc grows still, fixing Dasheek with a cold, calculating look and lowering his tail slightly.<br />
<br />
Maltris searches around for a moment.<br />
<br />
Chelinde whispers something to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Hopefully not burying them in warm bodies."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "You'll discover my optimism knows no bounds."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I will consider your surrender."<br />
<br />
You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Never."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "Thank you, I recommend Zynell for the Triage meeting or someone like that."<br />
<br />
Jaelia says, "In my thoughts a few."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "That'll be a key point in my fighting mindset lectures. You should attend."<br />
<br />
Sothios smiles.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I'm sure the orphans would be glad to learn how you stick fight like a child."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Slarc.<br />
<br />
Maltris says to Dasheek, "I am certain that when the time comes to defend the province, dissention can be set aside for common interests."<br />
<br />
Maltris smiles at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "I've found orphans in these lands rarely need the lecture. They are, unfortunately, born into the fighting mindset."<br />
<br />
(Jaelia takes a few more notes then dashes off in a rush.)<br />
<br />
Jaelia just skipped out.<br />
<br />
You grin at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Illiya smiles at Maltris, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
You say to Maltris, "Let us hope so."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Maltris, "I sure hope so."<br />
<br />
Kaldean nods to Maltris.<br />
<br />
You flash a quick grin at Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "We have brought them in from lands that Therengia has burned through."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "It's their unforunate reality as war victims."<br />
<br />
Chelinde rubs a dull serpent earcuff.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "I appreciate the conversation, folks. Thanks for stopping by."<br />
<br />
Dasheek says to Slarc, "Even you."<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Dasheek, "You have been honored by my presence."<br />
<br />
Slarc gives Dasheek a slight nod.<br />
<br />
You nod to Dasheek.<br />
<br />
Dasheek laughs!<br />
<br />
Illiya says, "Good to see everyone."<br />
<br />
Sothios grins at Slarc.<br />
<br />
Dasheek sarcastically says, "So very honored.."<br />
<br />
Dasheek nods in agreement.<br />
<br />
Dasheek says, "Be dangerous."<br />
<br />
You nod to Zynell.<br />
<br />
Zynell beams at you! What a warm feeling!<br />
<br />
Lowering his head in reverence, Kaldean takes a step backward and bends into a formal bow.<br />
<br />
Sky Knight Kaldean goes east.<br />
<br />
Slarc flashes a wide grin at Chelinde.<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Hopefully we can all get together again soon and shout more insults at each other while we defeind Zoluren."<br />
<br />
Saragos says, "Take care."<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "That sounds fantastic."<br />
<br />
Saragos gives a courteous nod and tips his hat politely.<br />
<br />
Zynell grins.<br />
<br />
You grin at Saragos.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "I finally agree with you."<br />
<br />
Tempest Knight Saragos strides east.<br />
<br />
Chelinde looks at Slarc, obviously trying not to grin, but the dimples in her cheeks give her away.<br />
<br />
You nod amiably.<br />
<br />
Slarc studies the faces around him.<br />
<br />
Slarc says, "Goodnight elves, and prydaen."<br />
<br />
Slarc says to Briaen, "And taint."<br />
<br />
Maltris puts his almanac in his multi-strapped carryall.<br />
<br />
Chelinde says, "Good night, Slarc."<br />
<br />
assess race<br /><br />
You study the area...<br />
<br />
Briaen is a male Human. He appears to be mature.<br /><br />
Maltris is a male Elf. He appears to be an adult.<br /><br />
Chelinde is a female Elf. She appears to be young.<br /><br />
Sothios is a male Elf. He appears to be young.<br /><br />
Zynell is a female Prydaen. She appears to be a bird-hunter.<br /><br />
That's everyone!<br /><br />
Roundtime: 5 seconds.<br />
<br />
Briaen gazes off to the east.<br />
<br />
Maltris asks you, "More discussion this day?"<br />
<br />
You say, "I believe we may be finished for now."<br />
<br />
You grin at Maltris.<br />
<br />
Maltris nods.<br />
<br />
Maltris smiles at you.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Until next time, I look forward to it."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "Even the banter."<br />
<br />
Maltris smirks.<br />
<br />
Raven Queen Chelinde traipses east.<br />
<br />
Maltris says, "War and defense doesn't come without passions."<br />
<br />
You say, "So true."<br />
<br />
You chortle softly at some secret joke.<br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
You see Shield of Starlight Betlind Beluhle, a Human Paladin.<br><br />
She has a heart-shaped face, prismatic amethyst eyes, a button nose and dimples. Her snow-white-streaked crystalline hair is long and glossy, and is worn loose. She has pearlescent skin and a strong, feminine figure.<br><br />
She is a bit over average height for a Human.<br><br />
She is an adult.<br><br />
Her forearm has a tattoo of a stylized butterfly sketched in thick inky black lines.<br><br />
<br />
She is wearing a darkstone circlet ringed with silver leaves, a rounded loimic pauldron with diamond-hide straps laced through stout buckles, a braided moonsilk and lotusweave weapon harness with inlaid mistwood buckles, some grandiose half plate embellished with a stylized silversteel butterfly, a majestic aegis strewn with icesteel stars across a kertig disc, a vardite handflower centered with a soulstone oshu'mary blossom, an armorsmith's toolbelt bearing silversteel plates twined around lotusweave, a pair of scalene pants adorned with darkstone buckles and a pair of black leather boots edged at the seams with silver.<br><br />
<br />
==Facts==<br />
Citizenship: [[Therengia]]<br><br />
Devotion: [[Phelim]]<br><br />
==Notable Items==<br />
==='''Beluhle Tachi'''===<br />
:an elegant haledroth tachi with a silversteel butterfly tsuba<br />
::The pale blue metal of the thinly honed blade adds depth to the frosty hamon, resembling crashing waves glimmering in moonlight. Ensuring a proper grip, the mistwood hilt is ornately wrapped in amethyst moonsilk and braced above with a tsuba formed from the sharply angled wings of a butterfly. Delicate inlays of sapphire, emerald, and topaz form a shesegri pattern that radiates outward along the forewings and hindwings.<br />
::An elegant haledroth tachi reads: "Beluhle"<br />
[[Image:BBB.jpg|right|thumb]]<br />
==='''Beluhle Shield'''===<br />
:a majestic aegis strewn with icesteel stars across a kertig disc<br />
::Masterfully set crystalline points glisten from within the depths of the silvery-black plate adorning the substantial vardite shield. Reinforced titanese straps secured across the back ensure a secure wear while the grandiose handle of polished diamondique provides a reliable, robust grip.<br />
<br />
==='''Beluhle Armor'''===<br />
:some grandiose half plate embellished with a stylized silversteel butterfly<br />
::Crimson moonsilver highlights the bold lines and sharp angles of the usually graceful insect adorning the substantial mass of steel armor, giving it a soft luminosity. Delicate inlays of sapphire, emerald, and topaz fill the forewings and hindwings in an elegant stained glass style.<br />
::Some grandiose half plate reads: "Beluhle"<br />
<br />
==='''Beluhle Surcoat'''===<br />
:a pale blue moonsilk surcoat emblazoned with a sharply angled butterfly<br />
::Substantial layers of the opalescent sheened fabric come together to create a masterfully tailored garment designed to drape the wearer exquisitely. Darkened silver threads form the hard lines and intersections of the normally delicate creature emblazoned on the front, while hues reminiscent of kiralan, quelium, and vardite fill the wings in an elegant stained glass style. Stitched adroitly under the collar in a color of deep cerulean is a single word.<br />
::A moonsilk surcoat reads: "Beluhle"<br />
<br />
==Alterations==<br />
:an armorsmith's toolbelt bearing silversteel plates twined around lotusweave<br />
::The backing of the toolbelt is made from braided twists of blush-hued lotusweave, the soft silk providing a measure of comfort for the wearer. Interspersed into the weave of the braids are plates forged from silversteel, each one impressed with the image of a butterfly mid-flight over a thorned rose. Pairs of sturdy leather ties are arranged between the sets of plates, appearing ideal for securing tools.<br />
<br />
:a braided moonsilk and lotusweave weapon harness with inlaid mistwood buckles<br />
::A masterful touch has delicately intertwined opalescent pale blue moonsilk with iridescent amethyst lotusweave to form an elegantly strong housing for the wearer's most revered weapons. A thick coat of lacquer adds additional depth to the dark mistwood buckles as glossy-black glaes inlay highlights the natural glints of silver in the wood, causing them to glisten like stars against the night sky in proper lighting.</div>KIDDB2https://elanthipedia.play.net/Crystal_City_Players/Logs/A_Trio_of_TroubleCrystal City Players/Logs/A Trio of Trouble2024-02-03T18:52:59Z<p>EVYNTINE: Created page with "A Trio of Trouble was the eighth performance conducted by the Crystal City Players.

== ''Introduction'' ==<br />
<br />
Lady of Elamiri Ayrell came through a thick dark curtain.<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell curtsies gracefully.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Shoan a Sidelkuloa."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Because our last production was something serious and somber, we decided this performance should be something a little more... lighthearted."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "With that in mind, our very own Siendra Vauns'Arotru has written a wonderful play for you all to enjoy this evening."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Something light and that will hopefully bring smiles to everyone's faces."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "So, without further ado, The Crystal City Players welcome you to our original production of - A Trio of Trouble."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell curtsies gracefully one last time before making her way off the stage.)<br />
<br />
== Act One ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The curtain opens on a small group of young men gathered behind a large cauldron. They are in a wooded grove, the lights bright and cheery as they grin boyishly at one another. One shushes the other two and extends his hand reverently over the pot, releasing what appears to be a handful of dirt, rocks, and feathers into its depths. The debris clatters against the bottom."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak peers down into the cauldron, frowning.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Who forgot to add the water!"<br />
<br />
(Senthic fidgets and sheepishly raises his hand.)<br />
<br />
Senthic apologetically exclaims, "I left the jar at the river...oh, but look at this desiccated fish I found!" He digs it eagerly out of his pocket and the other two lean in with excited "ooh's" and "ahh's". After a moment they remember their task at hand once more. "Anyway, I'll go get it, hold on!"<br />
<br />
(Senthic hurries out from behind the cauldron, his gait the gangly nonchalant stride of a young man just coming into adulthood. Glancing over his shoulder to be sure his companions aren't watching, he throws a cheeky wink to the audience before disappearing offstage.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin nervously asks Ezerak, "Hey, um, Connor? Do you really think this is going to work?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak, clearly the leader of the group, nods sagely.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "I'm sure of it, Luca! I saw it in a book and everything! There's nothing to worry about at all."<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin looks rather less than relieved than before at this, but says nothing.)<br />
<br />
(Senthic makes his way back onto the stage, waving a jar of water proudly over his head. There is an almost faceplant and a tiny bit of spillage in his excitement, but the near crisis is quickly averted. With added caution, he reaches the cauldron, and reverently hands the jar over to Connor.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak solemnly asks, "Thank you, Jasper. Now, you all remember the words?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak watches as Jasper and Luca both nod, and then nods back conspiratorially.)<br />
<br />
Senthic asks, "And you're sure this is gonna work?"<br />
<br />
Senthic squints at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin morosely says, "He read it in a book..."<br />
<br />
Ezerak glances at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Ezerak confidently exclaims, "It's gonna work. Now shush up and get ready!" They all lean in, visibly holding their breaths as Connor pulls out a small dagger and pricks his finger with a dramatic wince. He lets a single drop of blood fall into the cauldron before he intones, "Servants of the otherdark!"<br />
<br />
Senthic chants in a tenor voice:<br />
<br />
"Hear us!"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin chants in a countertenor voice:<br />
<br />
"Hear us!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak chants in a baritone voice:<br />
<br />
"We command you to -"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin quietly says, "Please..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak glances sternly at Luca, who shies away slightly while Jasper suppresses a snicker.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak chants in a baritone voice:<br />
<br />
"We *command* you to come forth and obey us!"<br />
<br />
Senthic chants in a tenor voice:<br />
<br />
"Obey us!"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin chants in a countertenor voice:<br />
<br />
"Obey us...please, with a cherry on top!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak scowls at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says to Nyrhin, "Keep that up and we'll be obeying them."<br />
<br />
Ezerak clears his throat.<br />
<br />
Ezerak chants in a baritone voice:<br />
<br />
"We call for three to serve your new masters!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak yells, "Hucnunc!"<br />
<br />
Senthic yells, "Hucnunc!!"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin miserably says, "Hucnunc..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak waggles his fingers enthusiastically over the cauldron as the three of them finish their magic intonation.)<br />
<br />
(Senthic leans forward giddily, fingers gripping the sides of the giant pot as he peers inside as though expecting to find something. His face falls with disappointment.)<br />
<br />
Senthic exclaims, "There's nothing!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak frowns.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Maybe it just takes a roisan..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak stands perfectly still, head cocked to the side as though listening carefully. Long moments pass.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin hopefully asks, "It didn't work?"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin lets out a deep sigh of relief, grinning.)<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"As Luca's breath brushes across the cauldron the lights suddenly begin to flicker and a crash of thunder shakes the theatre! The boys all yelp and cower behind the kettle, disappearing from view as three female forms stalk into view. The women, looking dark and mysterious, move like predators towards center stage."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne leads the trio forward, scowling at her surroundings.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne suspiciously says, "I don't see anyone..."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Perhaps they were smart and ran away."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smirks.<br />
<br />
Siendra sadly says, "Oh, but it's been so very long since we've dined on fresh meat."<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin gives a startled little squeak at these words, and all three women snap their heads towards the cauldron.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell glances at Siendra.<br />
<br />
Siendra glances at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne nods to the other two and then stalks towards the cauldron.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne sweetly exclaims, "Come out, come ooout!"<br />
<br />
(Ayrell taps her fingers teasingly against the metal belly of the pot, the sound echoing ominously.)<br />
<br />
Siendra sniffs the air around her.<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "I can smell their delicious fear..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne smiles wickedly and leans over the cauldron. As she does, the heads of the three boys pop up, bringing them face to face.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne sweetly says, "Oh, hello."<br />
<br />
Ezerak loudly exclaims, "We weren't doing anything!"<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "Well, Connor was doing things..."<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Shut up, Jasper!"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin quickly exclaims, "It was both of them and they -made- me do it!"<br />
<br />
Senthic exclaims, "Shut up, Luca!"<br />
<br />
(Senthic pushes at Luca, who pushes at Connor, who pushes at both of them.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne sternly exclaims, "Silence, all of you!"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin squeaks again as his head disappears from sight. The other two snap their mouths shut, ignoring their friend as they stare at the women with wide eyes.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "It takes three to summon three. You cannot hide your involvement, silly little mouse."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell rolls her eyes as she says this, crossing her arms and sneering down at the boys.)<br />
<br />
Siendra disdainfully asks, "They are terribly stringy little mice, aren't they. How old are you all? 9? 10?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak blinks dumbly.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak bewilderedly says, "What? No, we're...17..."<br />
<br />
Siendra scoffs.<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Surely not. Where is the muscle, the height? Where I came from, by 17 the men are bigger than bears..."<br />
<br />
(Senthic grumbles that he does have muscles, thank you very much, and kicks at the ground in a pout.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell nods at Siendra, obviously agreeing with her views.<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks, "This must just be a small world, Evanora. Well, what are we to do with them, Sybal?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell cocks her head at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne asks, "An excellent question, Cassandra." She straightens, crossing one arm across her body and propping her other elbow upon it, resting her chin in her hand. "Tell me, why did you summon us?"<br />
<br />
(Senthic glances at Connor expectantly.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak makes a grunting noise.<br />
<br />
Ezerak hesitantly says, "We just wanted...you see, we were hoping..."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "He didn't want to do his chores!"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin pops up and prods an accusatory finger at Connor.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak shoves futilely at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Shut UP, Luca!"<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "But it's true! You told us to do your laundry and we said nuh-uh and then you said you'd find someone who listened to you and -."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne frowns, shaking her head with an expression of exasperation before resting her face in the palm of her hand.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne incredulously asks, "Oh, for...so you all summoned us...to do *laundry*?"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell glances at Siendra.<br />
<br />
Siendra glances at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Ezerak gulps.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Well, I mean..."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell clucks her tongue, gazing at the boys. They shrink together behind the cauldron.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin asks, "Are you g-going to e-eat us?"<br />
<br />
Siendra growls at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Siendra licks her lips.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "Eep!"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Szarevar says, "Seventeen is nice and such, but the most important number in the universe is seven. <br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Oh, no. Certainly we cannot eat those that have summoned us. No, I think we have much more in store for you..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell nods to Siendra.<br />
<br />
Siendra grins wickedly.<br />
<br />
(Siendra advances on the boys, raising her arms from her sides to summon a strong wind that whips around the stage. The boys yell and try to run, but find themselves cut off from escape whichever way they turn. The lights flicker and go out, leaving the cackling of the witches echoing in the dark.)<br />
<br />
== Act Two ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The cacophony of chaos on stage dissipates from the darkness, until all that can be heard is the hushed movement of stagehands setting up the next scene. When the lights come up once more the setting is pleasant and peaceful. A small village is painted into the distance and trees line the stage."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak strolls casually into view, standing tall with the confidence a few years has brought him. He is followed by his trusty sidekicks.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak confidently says, "Did you see how Sasha was looking at me last night? I think it may be time I ask her out. I'm sure she's been waiting for me."<br />
<br />
Senthic rolls his eyes.<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "Sasha is *engaged*, if you recall, Connor. If anything she was probably 'checking out' that scrubland of a mustache you've been trying to grow for a month now."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak self-consciously runs a finger over the small patch of growth above his upper lip.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Hey..."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin chortles softly at some secret joke.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "Jasper's right. There's no way you could have won Sasha over, anyway. Her father is the judge, for goddess' sake! Everyone knows what sort of trouble you get into."<br />
<br />
Ezerak scoffs.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "It's the ones that are supposed to be good that like the bad boys, you know. Besides, maybe I could just ask Sybal if she would -."<br />
<br />
Senthic sternly exclaims, "No. You can't just abuse her power like that. She does enough for you!"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "Except your laundry..."<br />
<br />
Senthic snickers.<br />
<br />
Senthic holds his hand out towards Nyrhin for a highfive.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin grins.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin drops his hand down low and Senthic responds by bringing his own hand down onto Nyrhin's hand in a gesture of camaraderie.<br />
<br />
Ezerak grinds his teeth.<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "*They're* the ones who decided to stay when we summoned them. Scaring us witless with half a hurricane and then sweet-talking out a deal." He mutters to himself before snorting. "I might as well get what I can out of it!"<br />
<br />
You hear a voice exclaim, "Oh Connor!"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak yelps as Sybal slips into view.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Sybal! We were just...um..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne wryly exclaims, "Talking about me?" She grins at the shame-faced men. "Well, who wouldn't be? But I have such good news for you, Connor!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak blinks at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Ezerak suspiciously asks, "What is it?"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne exclaims, "I've done your laundry!"<br />
<br />
Ezerak gasps!<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Really? You did? Finally, after all these years!"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak whoops with joy and runs off stage. The sounds of drawers being pulled from a dresser and tossed to the floor can be heard before Connor stomps back on stage.)<br />
<br />
Senthic glances at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin glances at Senthic.<br />
<br />
Ezerak darkly says, "Sybal."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne sweetly asks, "Yes?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Where did you put my laundry after doing it?"<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne purses her lips thoughtfully, tapping one slender forefinger against her chin.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne innocently says, "Did I not put them away? Hmm, where did they go..."<br />
<br />
Senthic blinks.<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "Is that..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak glances to where Jasper points, everyone now watching in complete silence as a raccoon - a very well-dressed raccoon - trundles into view. It stops and chitters curiously at the group, its red dress shirt and pressed trousers perfectly tailored to its form. With one last snuffle it waddles its way off the other side of the stage and disappears. Connor turns to Sybal slowly.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Did you..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne asks, "Oh, yes, that's right! I resized them to dress the animals, aren't they just darling?"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin begins to giggle, then bursts out in a silly laugh.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin admiringly says, "Just fantastic."<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Shut up, Luca..."<br />
<br />
Ezerak grumbles.<br />
<br />
Senthic flashes a quick grin at Nyrhin.<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "They look fantastic, Sybal. Turns out you're very good at laundry."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "Quite fetching in a feral way, really."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says to Senthic, "I could do yours if you like."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell slinks into view, making Jasper jump slightly.)<br />
<br />
Senthic gives Ayrell a wry grin.<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "No, thank you, Cassandra. I like my clothes just as they are."<br />
<br />
Ayrell grins at Senthic.<br />
<br />
Ayrell tweaks Senthic's nose!<br />
<br />
Nyrhin suspiciously says, "And where is Evanora?" He glances around, looking tense. "She can't be far behind you two..."<br />
<br />
Siendra suddenly appears out of thin air, arms waving wildly and making loud, weird noises, and jumps at Nyrhin who shrieks in surprise.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin clutches his chest in mock horror.<br />
<br />
Siendra laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.<br />
<br />
Siendra asks, "Hello, Luca. What have you boys been up to today?"<br />
<br />
(Siendra links arms with Luca, showing an easy camaraderie despite his air of nervousness around her.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak proudly exclaims, "We were out by the river all morning, catching dinner. Fresh fish!"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Well, look at you! A man can be taught to fish."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne grins at Connor as he makes a face back at her.)<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "We stopped by the market for a few things as well." He pats the heavy haversack at his side. "Yarn for your sewing, Cassandra, and some fruits and vegetables."<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks, "Such a good boy." She pats Jasper's cheek, and the young man beams. "Let's get all this home then, hm?"<br />
<br />
== Act Three ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"With that, the motley crew moves off, talking easily amongst themselves as the stage lights dim. The curtain closes behind them as the scene is shifted on stage, opening up once more to a cozy kitchen setting. Luca and Evanora sit at the table, shelling peas. Luca looks decidedly uncomfortable."<br />
<br />
Siendra lightly says, "You just need to talk to her, Luca. I do not understand what is so difficult about that."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin splutters.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "It's... it's talking! To a girl!"<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "To a *woman*."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "That's even scarier!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra tosses a pea at Luca, laughing.)<br />
<br />
Siendra gently says, "Luca...none of them can be more terrifying than me and yet here you sit."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin gazes down at the floor.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "Well, yes, but you're *you*. And... I mean, yes, you are probably the most terrifying person I've ever met -."<br />
<br />
Siendra preens. Someone's pleased with herself!<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "But I'm not trying to court you!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra gives an unladylike snort, putting down her handful of peapods and leaning forward on the table. She gazes earnestly at her companion.)<br />
<br />
Siendra asks, "What if we could help you?"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin leans back, as if to escape Evanora's piercing gaze.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "I-I don't want you to hex Deanna or anything..."<br />
<br />
Siendra asks, "No, no! Just a bit of practice. What do you say?"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin gnaws on his lip.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin hesitantly says, "Okay..."<br />
<br />
(Siendra claps her hands gleefully and leaps up, startling Luca.)<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "Now just stay here, don't move, I'll have everything ready in a moment!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra rushes from the room, leaving a dazed Luca behind.)<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin gazes after Evanora, his face set in a grimace. "What have I done," he mutters to himself, before picking up more peas to shell while he waits. There is a silence that sets Luca even more on edge before a woman's startled gasp has him standing quickly.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin frantically asks, "Evanora? Was that you? Are you okay?"<br />
<br />
(Siendra pokes her head around the doorway.)<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "Not to worry, Luca, it is going splendidly. Even better than expected, really. Just putting the finishing touches on her now!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra disappears again with a little wave.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin blinks.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin exclaims, "Her who?? Evanora!"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin sigh and drops back into his seat in defeat, with nothing to do but wait.)<br />
<br />
(Senthic appears suddenly in the doorway, almost unidentifiable but for a playful grin - as he has become most decidedly female. A sensible dress of periwinkle sits well on the newly feminine form, and longer locks of hair frame a softer-featured face.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin gawks at Senthic.<br />
<br />
(Siendra strolls back into the kitchen, admiring her handiwork.)<br />
<br />
Siendra asks, "Isn't she lovely?"<br />
<br />
(Senthic bats her eyelashes at Evanora, before dissolving into giggles.)<br />
<br />
Siendra grins at Senthic.<br />
<br />
(Ayrell enters from the other door, offering a greeting to her companions. She stops suddenly as she catches sight of the strange woman.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks, "Who...?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell squints at Senthic.<br />
<br />
Senthic shifts uncomfortably for a moment.<br />
<br />
Ayrell blinks.<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs with delight, her eyes full of merriment.<br />
<br />
Ayrell exclaims, "Oh, Evanora, what *have* you done to my darling Jasper!"<br />
<br />
Useff says, "That is a lovely dress, I have to admit."<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "I am trying to help Luca feel more comfortable around women. And what better way than to provide him with one who is also a best friend!"<br />
<br />
Ayrell exclaims, "What an inspired idea!"<br />
<br />
Ayrell pulls Senthic towards her!<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I have some dresses that would look absolutely beautif-."<br />
<br />
Senthic shoves futilely at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Senthic laughingly exclaims, "One thing at a time, Cassandra! I have a job to do first!"<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin finally shakes off his surprise. He looks bashfully at Jasper.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "You do look nice..."<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Look at that, you're already doing quite well, Luca! Now come, let's see what we can do here." She urges them both onto the bench before arranging Jasper's hair to drape more alluringly. Nodding in approval, she steps back. "Luca, meet... Jessica."<br />
<br />
Senthic groans.<br />
<br />
Senthic exclaims, "So...boring...couldn't I be Jesabel? Ooh, or Jasmyn - with a 'y'!"<br />
<br />
Ayrell giggles.<br />
<br />
Senthic glowers darkly at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Senthic sighs deeply, looking very depressed.<br />
<br />
(Senthic takes a deep breath and flips her hair over one shoulder before leaning towards Luca.)<br />
<br />
Senthic coyly says to Nyrhin, "You look so handsome today, Luca."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin gulps.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "Th-this isn't going to work..."<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "What isn't going to work?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak comes into the kitchen with Sybal just behind, snatching an apple from the basket on the counter. Just as he's about to take a bite he pauses, eyes going wide.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Heeeey, who's this lovel - ack! Jasper??"<br />
<br />
(Senthic sits back, wiggling a little as she adjusts to the experience of wearing a dress.)<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "Hello Connor. Sybal."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne's eyes light up with merriment and she cackles out loud, head thrown back!)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Oi, Jasper, what..." He ducks his head as though there's some great conspiracy in what he's about to say, despite his friend's current state being quite obvious. "What's going on, Jas? You...you're a *girl*."<br />
<br />
Senthic flatly says, "Yes, thank you, Connor. I'm well aware. And since I was a *man* before, I prefer to be called a woman."<br />
<br />
Senthic sticks his nose up in the air haughtily.<br />
<br />
Ezerak quietly says to himself, "Well, at least some things haven't changed about him."<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Oh," he straightens back up, glancing at Cassandra. She points to Evanora, who waggles her fingers playfully as Connor's gaze falls on her. "You, uh... you did this?"<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "I surely did! We're helping Luca get over his fear of talking to women."<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin edges closer to the table, apparently trying to disappear beneath it.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne thoughtfully says to Ezerak, "We can turn others into all manner of things. Perhaps I could turn you into that little beast of burden you often remind me of."<br />
<br />
Ezerak edges away from Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Ezerak scowls.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Perhaps we finally send you back where you came from."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne gazes at Connor as silence falls over the kitchen. No one moves, and there is a sudden chill in the air.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne lightly says, "We could go 'back,' as you say, at any time we wish."<br />
<br />
Ayrell quietly says, "Sybal, he didn't mean it."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell rests her hand on Sybal's arm to calm her friend, glancing worriedly at Evanora.)<br />
<br />
(Siendra gently ushers Luca and Jasper from their seats and out of the kitchen, coming back in to stand beside Connor protectively. She makes sure to give him a serious sidelong glance as she does so, however.)<br />
<br />
Siendra asks, "We're not going back, Sybal, and they don't want us to either. Do you, Connor?"<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "I don't, you know I don't! I was just... that was stupid. I'm sorry."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne seems to relax ever so slightly, though her gaze still pierces into Connor.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne tersely says, "It is fine."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne turns to leave, but stops as Connor reaches out and grabs her arm. She turns on him, eyebrow raised. He releases her quickly.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "Erm, it's just...while we're here...on the subject...I was wondering...where is 'back', anyway? You've never told us anything and we have always wanted to know..."<br />
<br />
(Senthic pokes her head around the corner of the scene, and Luca's face appears below, as if they had been waiting just out of sight for this moment.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell glances at Siendra.<br />
<br />
Siendra glances at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "Oh, we might as well tell them. It's certainly been long enough. Ah, but first!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra claps Jasper hard on the back and a billow of smoke fills the stage. As it settles, Jasper is revealed as returned to his original form, trousers and all. He looks somewhat disappointed about it.)<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "Alright then, sit down and listen up." The young mens' faces light up and they immediately take their seats at the table expectantly. "But finish shelling these peas while you listen!"<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles as the young men dutifully do as bid, and leans against the counter.<br />
<br />
Ayrell wistfully says, "We didn't know each other before we were sent away, nor any of the other hundreds of witches we met there. But we were all of us outcasts, shunned for having dabbled in the magical arts. Those that exiled us thought they were cursing us, but really they had freed us."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne holds up her hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Besides the whole 'involuntary summoning' thing, that is..."<br />
<br />
Ayrell waves dismissively.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Yes, yes, but we've had our fun with that."<br />
<br />
Siendra grins wickedly.<br />
<br />
Siendra ominously says, "So much fun..."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin glances at Siendra.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin asks, "You didn't really eat people... did you?"<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "So, as Cassandra was saying! It was good, 'back there,' wherever that is. I don't think anyone rightly knows. But then we were summoned by three silly boys and we thought, this could be a fun little adventure!"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne smiles despite herself and nods, taking a seat at the table.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne asks, "But I suppose you'd like to hear all about the rest, though, hm?"<br />
<br />
== Act Four ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The boys nod emphatically, leaning in close, and as the three witches regale them with stories of magic and mystery the lights dim on the stage. Darkness falls, and so does a hushed silence, broken only by the muffled bumps and scrapes of the scene change. The lights come up once more, though not so bright, indicating the outside of the house at twilight. Cassandra paces on the doorstep, glancing worriedly into the distance."<br />
<br />
Ayrell mutters something into the air about should have been home by now.<br />
<br />
Ayrell wrings her hands nervously.<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne steps out of the house, stopping Cassanda's pacing with a gentle hand to her friend's shoulder.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Cassandra, what is it? You've nearly walked a moat into the front yard."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Jasper should have come back from the village by now. Something just feels wrong."<br />
<br />
Ayrell gazes off into the distance.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "I'm sure he's fine. He probably just met up with a few - oh."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne's voice trails off as Jasper comes limping into view, holding his side painfully.)<br />
<br />
(Ayrell gives a strangled cry of concern and rushes forward, gripping at Jasper too tightly in her need to look him over.)<br />
<br />
Senthic winces.<br />
<br />
Senthic painfully says, "Oof, Cassandra, that hurts!" He relaxes slightly as the woman lets him go, though he cannot escape her scrutinizing gaze. "I'm fine, though. Really."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "You are most certainly not. What happened?" She holds her hand up as Jasper opens his mouth to respond. "And *do not* say you 'fell'."<br />
<br />
(Senthic closes his mouth and pouts, hoping to get away with not saying anything at all. Neither woman is budging, however, and he quickly resigns himself to answer.)<br />
<br />
Senthic hesitantly says, "It was a few of the men from the village." The witch's faces go dark at these words, and Jasper tries quickly to calm them. "It's okay, they were just frustrated with... their crops aren't great, and they are jealous of ours. They're hungry and upset."<br />
<br />
Ayrell tensely says, "And they blame us, don't they."<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Of course they do."<br />
<br />
(Siendra has come out of the front door, leaning in the frame while Connor and Luca peer out from behind her. She frowns as she looks at Jasper.)<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "We can go turn them into frogs..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "No, dear Evanora, I don't think that will help this situation."<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Just one?" She sighs as everyone gives her a stern look. "Ah, fine, fine. Have it your way."<br />
<br />
(Siendra slips back inside the house with a shrug, leaving Connor and Luca to move forward and check on their friend.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Are you alright, Jasper?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak worries over Jasper despite the other man's protests. Once he is satisfied his friend is not in any mortal danger he looks between Jasper and Luca.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "We can't just let them continue this. It continues to get worse and I'd hate to see where it ends. Perhaps we can call a meeting with the heads of the village? <br />
Surely we can all talk this out."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne gazes fondly at Ezerak.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Look at you, thinking rationally for once. But you don't think it would be dangerous? They've never been comfortable with us being here ever since we revealed ourselves."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin gruffly says, "That's their problem, then, isn't it. Just because you help us doesn't mean you've been hindering them. They just want someone to blame."<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin blushes as everyone looks towards him. He shifts his weight but continues.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin says, "I'm just saying, Connor is right. We need to stop this before it gets worse."<br />
<br />
Senthic says, "I agree. And you three can come... so long as you behave. Especially you, Evanora." He glances into the still-open doorway. Evanora's head appears from inside. <br />
She scowls at Jasper, who sternly says, "No frogs."<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "No fun."<br />
<br />
Siendra sticks her tongue out at Senthic.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Then let's go in the morning and settle this awful business. Agreed?" Her companions all nod in ascension, and she lets out a breath. "But for now let's get some rest. It's late. And Jasper, let me tend to your injuries."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell takes Jasper's hand gently, and the two lock eyes for a moment longer than necessary before Cassandra leads him into the house.)<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The others share silent but knowing glances before following the two inside. The lights descend into darkness, and everything is still on stage. Slowly the lights come up, a rooster crowing in the dawn, but there remains no movement from the house. Only distant chatter can be heard from offstage."<br />
<br />
== Act Five ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"Suddenly a large frog hops into view, croaking loudly. It sits contentedly in the center of the stage for a moment before it's startled by the entrance of the residents of the house, who are talking excitedly amongst themselves. With an annoyed *ribbit* the frog exits, causing the group to stop in surprise."<br />
<br />
Siendra blinks.<br />
<br />
Siendra quickly exclaims, "That wasn't me!"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak laughs and pats Evanora on the back.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "We know, Evanora, we know. You all did wonderfully this morning, really. And you all get to stay!"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne glances at Ayrell.<br />
<br />
Ayrell glances at Siendra.<br />
<br />
Siendra glances at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
(Nyrhin furrows his brow as the witches exchange looks between themselves.)<br />
<br />
Nyrhin asks, "And you're all okay with... with helping out the rest of the village?"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "It is a small price to pay."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne smiles as she looks at the young men, and then offstage to the unseen village beyond.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne distantly says, "I am glad we could resolve this. It will help..." She trails off, not finishing the sentence right away. She chews on her lip thoughtfully for a moment. "It will help everyone move on from all of this."<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Yes, and a few extra spells to extend the reach of prosperity is an easy feat."<br />
<br />
Senthic wryly says, "I'm sure you'll *barley* break a sweat."<br />
<br />
(Senthic cackles while everyone else groans, Connor punching him on the shoulder. Together with Luca the young men move into the house, laughing easily together. The witches watch them silently.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell quietly says, "It seems there is something we need to discuss, my dearest friends."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell gazes sadly at Sybal and Evanora, and the three women move away from the house so as not to be overheard by the men inside.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne gently says, "I will not be coy...we all know this means it is only a matter of time before the village starts asking for more and more to be kept happy." Cassandra and Evanora nod sadly in agreement. "We need to begin preparing to return from whence we came."<br />
<br />
Siendra sighs deeply, looking very depressed.<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "It has been ever so much fun."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell worries her lower lip, looking back towards the house.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks, "It certainly has. Let us be sure they are settled before we leave them?"<br />
<br />
Shaylynne smiles reassuringly at Cassandra.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Of course we will. But come, for now we should celebrate with them."<br />
<br />
== Act Six ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The women linger a moment longer, preparing themselves before joining their comrades. As they made their way back to the house the light dims and the curtain closes. From behind it can be heard the deliberate sounds of construction, mingled with the comfortable noises of everyday life in fast forward. Suddenly the curtain opens with a flair, revealing two houses on stage now. Between them stand the group of friends, all dressed in stunning evening wear."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin wrings his hands.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin nervously exclaims, "Do I look alright? Connor, you have the rings? She didn't run, did she? Ohh, she did, didn't she! She's probably run off with the butcher, damn him and his muscles!"<br />
<br />
(Siendra reaches over and clamps her hand over Luca's mouth, startling him and silencing him.)<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Luca, my dear, I'd hate for you to walk down the aisle with your mouth stuck shut. It would make your vows so very difficult."<br />
<br />
Nyrhin whimpers softly.<br />
<br />
Ezerak exclaims, "Ah, Evanora, give the poor guy a break. It's his wedding day!"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak beams at Luca and wraps a friendly arm around his shoulder, jostling his friend cheerfully.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "You look great. I've got the rings right in my pouch here, and Deanna is all dressed and ready and *excited* to marry you."<br />
<br />
Senthic exclaims, "She's beautiful, Luca. You're a lucky man. Connor and I can only hope to get so lucky!"<br />
<br />
(Senthic glances at Cassandra and quickly away as he says this, clearing his throat.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne exclaims, "Everything is perfect, Luca. We'll go find our seats now and let you boys get to it!"<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne links arms with Cassandra and Evanora, and the three women swoop down quickly to give the flustered Luca a group hug before striding off full of laughter.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak grins wryly.<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "Well...are you ready?"<br />
<br />
Nyrhin inhales a great swallow of air.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin beams!<br />
<br />
Nyrhin joyfully says, "Yes."<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"A lively wedding march begins, and one by one the men move off-stage. Luca brings up the rear, gazing fondly to where all of his friends have disappeared. With his head held high, he follows them."<br />
<br />
== Act Seven ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
<br />
"As the stage falls vacant, the lights begin moving in such a way so as to denote the passage of a day, from low on one side of the stage to high overhead and back down low on the opposite side. This repeats slowly at first, and then faster and faster until it stops suddenly at the peak of its revolution."<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"Five figures step onto stage - Connor, Jasper, Sybal, Cassandra, and Evanora. The men appear slightly more aged, while the women remain the same as ever. They walk in silence, their arms full of produce."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak drops his haul on the table between the houses before straightening and wiping his brow. He flops down in one of the chairs, grinning.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak tiredly exclaims, "All this bounty is a lot of work, but it sure is worth it!"<br />
<br />
(Senthic places his armful beside Connor's before snatching a ripe apple from the pile and biting into it. He offers it to Cassandra as she walks up beside him.)<br />
<br />
(Ayrell grins at Jasper and leans in to take a bite for herself as she deposits her own share of the harvest, while Sybal and Evanora do the same, filling the table with produce. Cassandra closes her eyes as she savors the fruit in her mouth.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell exclaims, "Ohh, the apples are delicious this year!"<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "They had better be, I threw a few of my extra special puppy ears into the spell sachet for them." She cackles as the two men glance sidelong at her. "Oh for goddess' sake, the weather has just been good for the crops this year."<br />
<br />
(Siendra gets to work organizing the bounty on the table before her, smiling as Sybal moves in to help.)<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne lets her hair fall in front of her face, blocking herself from the view of the others while she gives Evanora a weighty look. Evanora's smile falters, but she nods. Without hesitation Sybal tosses her hair back and straightens.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Connor, Jasper, there's something we need to discuss."<br />
<br />
Ezerak cocks his head at Shaylynne.<br />
<br />
Ezerak hesitantly says, "If it's about Luca's share, I remembered to take everything into account. Extra for Deanna to keep her strength up, with a focus on protein and grains -."<br />
<br />
(Shaylynne raises her hand to stop Connor before he begins rambling.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "No, not that. I know you worked hard to ration things equally, and I have no doubt Deanna will give birth to the healthiest baby this village has ever seen." <br />
She rests her hand on Connor's shoulder. "There is no easy way to say this, so I will just say it. We have overstayed our time here, greatly, and will be returning from whence we came."<br />
<br />
Ayrell frowns.<br />
<br />
Ayrell asks, "Wait... what?"<br />
<br />
Siendra gently says, "The spells are well in place, and the village is set for years to come. And you boys are..."<br />
<br />
(Siendra "tch's" quietly, unable to voice the sentiment.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "You boys have excelled, and will do so much more good here. This is the right time. Luca is building a beautiful family. Connor, you will be sitting on the village council in no time with your leadership and empathy. And Jasper..."<br />
<br />
(Senthic makes a sort of strangled sound as he's addressed, his gaze helpless.)<br />
<br />
Siendra says, "Jasper, you will have Cassandra."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell's eyes widen in shock, even as both her and Jasper's bodies seem to relax towards each other.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell quaveringly says, "Sybal... Evanora..."<br />
<br />
Shaylynne smiles at Cassandra, brushing a tear from her friend's face. Though her own eyes glisten, she remains strong.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne earnestly says, "This is all right. Just as it should be."<br />
<br />
Ezerak angrily asks, "But if Cassandra can stay, that means you two can as well!" He looks desperately between Sybal and Evanora, his face falling as they give no sign of recanting their decision. "I just... what do we do without you?"<br />
<br />
(Ezerak sits heavily down at the table, his head in his hands.)<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says, "Great things, my dearest Connor. You will do great things."<br />
<br />
== Act Eight ==<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The lights dim around the group until the stage is in darkness, silence falling like a blanket over the theatre. There is a stillness to the end of the scene, a pause that stretches before a soft light rises once more upon the stage. Connor sits exactly as he had been before, though he is alone now. Cassandra exits the house and steps towards him, taking a deep breath of the morning air and gazing upward. Neither of them speak for a long moment."<br />
<br />
Ezerak sadly says, "They've gone. So quickly... so quietly..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak doesn't look up, though he drops his hands from his face to rest on the table.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell lightly says, "They would not want to draw the decision out. And they are not much for goodbyes."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell moves to Connor's side, rubbing a hand over his hunched shoulders. He glances up at her, and she smiles wanly down at him.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "I have known them for ages longer than you. It is their way, and I love them for it despite myself."<br />
<br />
Ezerak asks, "I'm sorry, I know you will miss them greatly." He pauses, his lips pursing. "You don't resent being left here, do you?"<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Not at all. This is something I think I've needed for a long time."<br />
<br />
(Ayrell gazes towards the house, her smile turning warm.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak smirks.<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "You know...Sybal did my laundry before she left. Proper magic, too. My clothes have never been cleaner, or more organized! Why she couldn't do that trick all the other years she was here..."<br />
<br />
(Ezerak grumbles, clearly trying not to grin.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell laughs!<br />
<br />
(Senthic steps out of the house and huffs, drawing the attention of his companions.)<br />
<br />
Senthic cheekily says, "She did mine, too."<br />
<br />
(Senthic holds up a scandalous-looking gown that had clearly been left for him, and the three burst into full laughter. Jasper strides over to them, laying the dress on top of the produce and pulling Cassandra to his side.)<br />
<br />
Ezerak says, "It really brings out your eyes, Jas." He stands, clapping his friend on the back. Jasper nods in agreement, preening. "Well, then? I suppose it's the three of us now."<br />
<br />
Ayrell happily says, "Three is a wonderful number."<br />
<br />
You hear a voice recite from the shadows:<br />
<br />
"The lights go down for the final time, a soft yet cheerful tune wafting from the orchestra pit as the curtain lowers."<br />
<br />
== ''Curtain Call'' ==<br />
<br />
(Ayrell gracefully makes her way back onto the stage.)<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "Let us give a round of applause for our wonderful cast."<br />
<br />
Senthic grins sheepishly.<br />
<br />
Siendra grins at Senthic.<br />
<br />
Ayrell exclaims, "Siendra, Senthic, Shaylynne, Ezerak, and Nyrhin!"<br />
<br />
Siendra blushes a bright red color.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin bows.<br />
<br />
Ezerak bows.<br />
<br />
Siendra exclaims, "And Ayrell!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Ayrell says, "From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all for attending our show this evening."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Siendra beams!<br />
<br />
Ayrell says, "We will be in the lobby shortly, if anyone wishes to stay and converse. Thank you again, and we wish you all a pleasant night."<br />
<br />
Ayrell smiles.<br />
<br />
Ayrell curtsies gracefully.<br />
<br />
Senthic bows.<br />
<br />
Nyrhin bows.<br />
<br />
Siendra bobs down and back up in a quick curtsy.<br />

Senthic grins sheepishly.<br />
