Tainted Blood (cont'd) Leyan, day 2 of the month Ivastaen in the year 5101

***TECHNICAL NOTE***
In this log the words/actions of the "entity" are recognizable as they read "Iscikella" rather than "you" and the acts are not in parantheses. During the time the "entity" was in control of Iscikella, I -- the player -- had no input into those words/actions.

Strayla says, "The entity I fear, is holding her still."

You nod to Strayla.

Strayla says, "But why..."

The sound of something crackling and burning echoes from just beyond the barrier.

Xulia nods to Junis.

You say, "Ye are wrong, snake."

Daelnor says, "back wench"

Blizzerdd glares.

Daelnor asks, "is tha Setzier ah sense in tha shadows?"

Ilvane blinks.

Silon nods to Delthore.

You say, "The jackal is here..."

Delthore says, "prolly Sabitor"

You stare at nothing in particular.

Delthore gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Delthore gestures.
A sudden burst of bright light emanates from Delthore's hand!

Delthore says, "ahh"

Daelnor asks, "Setzier?"

Delthore says, "Setzier"

Sheka says, "Hasn't been...."

You ask, "What would ye know of it, snake?"

Aranrhod says, "Iscikella"

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "S'not me laughin"

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "jes so ye know"

Junis says, "An perhaps Setzier's gotten to you too."

Strayla says, "Iscikella is still there, but the entity is taking her over more physically."

(Armaxis focuses his gaze on Iscikella.)

Armaxis says, "Much more than you would think."

You stare at Armaxis.

You blink.

Daelnor says, "it is nae ye..it is tha jackal in tha shadows"

You rub your eyes.

Blizzerdd says, "She is, but there seems to be an added entity to feel the whip. All the better. Still I hate sharing."

(Daelnor rubs his temples)

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "Not Thurfel behind the mist?"

Sheka asks, "A Slaver like you?"

Sheka sneers at Blizzerdd.

Aranrhod says, "He is only trying to flame the fires Iscikella"

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "Mayhap he's glad he boiled the woman"

Blizzerdd scoffs.

Setzier whispers, "Unable to move... unable to control your bare hands... You're growing weak of resistance, Sylvan. Can you withstand it much longer?"

Strayla asks, "He boiled her perhaps, to prove something?"

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Junis says, "That hes not as weak as she thinks."

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "An mebbe he's back there laughin about it"

Junis says, "Thurfel is plenty able to take care of himself."

(Iscikella 's muscles tense.)

You ask, "A skull?"

You blink.

Aranrhod says, "Eww..."

Daelnor says in Sylvankind, "tha creature"

Sheka tilts her charred skull side to side, making the light play off it.

Alyxandrah says, "That is so disgusting."

Sheka asks, "Anyone you know?"

Xulia asks, "wha da skull from?"

Junis says, "Bah, its only a skull."

Sheka cocks her head at you.

Strayla says, "Charred, Thurfel did something to someone."

Blizzerdd mutters amatures.

Sheka says, "Very light"

You ask, "Who is laughing?"

Xulia says, "beast"

You hear the voice of Karinalee say, "Not I"

You cover your ears.

Alyxandrah flirts with Delthore.

(Junis peers over Sheka's shoulder getting a close look at the skull.)

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Xulia groans.

(Sheka tosses the skull from one hand to the other as the teeth grin out at you.)

You say, "I'm trying..."

Setzier whispers, "Can you hear the inner screams of those around you? The future you yet to bring them through your own, destructive hands?"

You bite your lip.

Xulia just tickled Sheka.

Sheka cackles!

Skyfawn says, "you are strong"

Strayla stares off into space.

Xulia exclaims, "drop it!"

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Xulia just tickled Sheka.

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "Madness...."

Alyxandrah gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Strayla asks, "Do you require anything?"

Xulia stares off into space.

Strayla peers quizzically at you.

Armaxis says, "Is it not tiring? Rest, yesss..."

Armaxis nods to you.

Alyxandrah says, "Did anyone else.."

You exclaim, "And jackal, quiet yer jaws!"

Blizzerdd squints at a pulsating mist.

Daelnor says, "Jackal, what make you of this skull"

Xulia raises an eyebrow in Alyxandrah's direction.

Skyfawn says, "leave her alone"

You glare at Armaxis.

Alyxandrah says, "Just my imagination."

Junis smirks.

Alyxandrah smiles weakly.

Skyfawn rubs you gently.

Xulia asks, "did anyone else wha, Alyx?"

Daelnor exclaims, "leave Iscikella be Setzier!"

Xulia just tried to pull Alyxandrah towards her!

Daelnor snarls menacingly!

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Setzier whispers, "Simple give into the entity, and it'll end."

(Iscikella 's muscles convulse.)

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Junis rubs you gently.

Rays of blackness spray the area from an unseen source.

You furrow up your face and wince.

Setzier suddenly fades into view.

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella, don't listen to them"

Daelnor glances at Setzier.

Xulia lets out a cheer!

Xulia applauds.

Setzier grins coldly, his eyes reflecting no emotion.

Xulia giggles.

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Sheka smiles at Iscikella as she tosses the skull in the air and then catches it.

Xulia examines her fingernails.

You hear someone whimpering.

Alyxandrah glances at Sheka.

You say, "It is so strong..."

Daelnor strides over to stand before Setzier.

You shudder.

Daelnor says, "leave her be"

Setzier shifts his eyes to Daelnor.

Blizzerdd leans on his waraxe.

Strayla says, "No it isn't Iscikella."

Sheka shows you a huge charred skull, which she is holding in her right hand. There is no telling what the skull might be from, it's far too damaged by fire or heat to tell.

Setzier says, "It is not I who is doing something to her."

(Daelnor takes a couple steps backwards)

Setzier smiles quietly to himself.

Daelnor closes his eyes for a moment.

Daelnor shakes his head.

Setzier wraps his black rapture cloak around himself, causing a dark haze to enshroud him.

You glance at Sheka.

Skyfawn exclaims, "you are stronger, fight!"

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Aranrhod just tried to pull Daelnor towards her!

Daelnor says, "your god will not win"

Xulia asks, "wha she fightin?"

Xulia looks rather confused.

Setzier laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Armaxis asks, "Such a strain it puts on you, do you not deserve a rest, mm?"

Sheka says, "Cower Misguided One so the other may grow stronger still"

Sheka cackles!

Junis glares at Armaxis.

Blizzerdd squints at Armaxis.

Crimson drops begin to fall from the roof of the hallway, deep chilling laughter accompanying it.

You scowl at Armaxis.

Xulia says, "he jes tellin her ta take a nap"

Xulia gazes heavenward.

Alyxandrah shudders.

Sheka cackles!

Setzier gazes heavenward.

You say, "Blood..."

Daelnor gazes heavenward.

Ilvane blinks.

Aranrhod tilts her head up.

Jestin blinks.

Strayla says, "She's back again."

Xulia nods to Armaxis.

You tilt your head up.

Setzier says, "Ah, a pleasant crimson rain."

Xulia says, "meybe alla us should"

Armaxis's ora Luukos symbol emits a soft grey glow.

(Daelnor rubs his temples)

Sheka asks, "For her head you think?"

Daelnor mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Sheka gazes in awe at the skull in her hand.

Junis mutters under his breath.

Daelnor's face turns slightly pale.

Junis pulls the hood of his cloak over his head.

Daelnor leans on Aranrhod.

Setzier turns sharply this way and that, cackling ferally as his eyes gleam with unholy glee.

You hear someone gasp.

(Iscikella watches the blood falling on her falchion.)

Daelnor glances at you.

Xulia says, "stop hidin, lilun"

Jestin rubs an azure Eonak medallion.

Ilvane glances at Armaxis.

(Iscikella stares mesmerizedly at the falchion.)

Sheka taps a huge charred skull.

Strayla asks, "Where is Tianni?"

Armaxis raises an eyebrow in Ilvane's direction.

Setzier moves to stand behind you.

You notice Karinalee slip out of hiding.

Xulia nods to Karinalee.

Karinalee's face turns slightly pale.

Nekales says, "Tianni is resting"

Ilvane closes her eyes for a moment.

Setzier whispers, "Just give into the entity, it is that simple. And your body will be yours once it is done."

Junis smirks.

Strayla nods to Nekales.

Daelnor stands in front of you.

Xulia seems to be waiting for something.

Armaxis glances at Karinalee.

Daelnor slowly paces to his left, moving in a circle around you.

Junis says, "Looks like you failed Yfa."

Karinalee's knees begin to shake.

Sheka says, "This must be the beasts skull."

Junis says, "Again."

Xulia asks, "is it heavy?"

(Daelnor stops between Setzier and Iscikella)

Daelnor turns to face Setzier.

Xulia peers quizzically at Sheka.

Blizzerdd says, "This is not right hon."

Armaxis says, "Such short sight, Junisss...as always."

Blizzerdd gazes fondly at you.

Setzier shifts his eyes to Daelnor.

Aasterinian nods to Sheka.

Setzier narrows his eyes.

Junis smirks.

Daelnor says, "my blade is pledged in her defense"

You lean on Blizzerdd.

Daelnor says, "ye will stand no closer"

Sheka offers Alyxandrah a huge charred skull.

Junis says, "This is the second time she failed Armaxis... seems a pattern to me."

Blizzerdd asks, "Ye wish release?"

Aasterinian says, "I know dark elves have fat heads.. but that sized head is rediculous"

Alyxandrah accepts Sheka's charred skull.

Blizzerdd peers quizzically at you.

Grhim fades into visibility.

Setzier says, "Then your blade would be your own demise, were I to will it."

Aranrhod says, "I think that skull is Thurfel's handiwork.."

You glance at Blizzerdd.

Grhim nods to Setzier in greeting.

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Setzier shifts his eyes to Grhim.

Xulia asks, "he kin make skulls?"

Xulia gazes heavenward.

Setzier nods to Grhim in greeting.

Junis shrugs.

Nekales says, "i think so too"

A voice booms out, "Your petty lives will soon be over. Give in as she has. Death is but a beggining. Your lives mean nothing. Make your choices while you can."

Daelnor says, "my blade is pledged, and ah will defend"

Alyxandrah offers Sheka a huge charred skull.

Setzier grins coldly, his eyes reflecting no emotion.

Sheka smiles coldly.

Strayla says, "Death is just a beginning."

Silon nods to Junis.

Xulia says, "dat were dire"

Grhim shifts his weight.

Sheka accepts Alyxandrah's charred skull.

Strayla smiles.

You hear the voice of Haxley exclaim, "Never!"

Aranrhod exclaims, "No!"

You exclaim, "Give in? No one has given in!"

Daelnor says, "whether ah can win or not"

Arimantis squints at a pulsating mist.

Silon works his fingers under his orange jester hat and scratches his head.

Junis says, "You'll not live to see me surrender."

Xulia asks, "ya gif'd in?"

Setzier asks, "Have they not?"

Aranrhod exclaims, "She has not given in!"

Xulia looks rather confused.

(Setzier eyes Iscikella.)

You tighten your grip on your violet vultite falchion.

Arimantis asks, "Why would I wanna give in?"

Karinalee lets out a yelp!

Aranrhod exclaims, "Lies!"

Daelnor narrows his eyes.

Jestin rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Sheka asks, "A falcion will stop them?"

Sheka snorts at you.

(Iscikella follows Setzier with her eyes.)

Arimantis squints at a pulsating mist.

Blizzerdd moves to stand in front of Setzier.

Aasterinian says, "Death is a bit of and end yah know"

Ilvane glances at Delthore.

(Daelnor places himself between Iscikella and Setzier again)

You shiver.

Blizzerdd looks over at Setzier and shakes his head.

Delthore says, "very tempting but I think I'll pass"

Daelnor turns to face Setzier.

Daelnor says, "back, Jackal"

Setzier smiles ever so slightly.

Delthore glances at Ilvane.

Delthore shrugs.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

(Daelnor rubs his temples)

Junis growls ferociously!

(Iscikella breathes very slowly in and out.)

Ilvane says, "Better to die than to submit to Luukos."

Strayla asks, "feeling better?"

Strayla peers quizzically at you.

Blizzerdd says, "Don't dog. Enough of yer aiding them."

Blizzerdd squints at Setzier.

Xulia says, "meybe yew fellers kin pee on da floor showin whar yew belong"

Setzier whispers, "Can't you feel it? The power it has to bring... the destiny of the unsavory frozen wasteland?"

Xulia gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

You say, "Is difficult..."

A wave of blood rolls through the chamber, seeping into any crack or opening it can find.

You say, "But trying..."

You hear a ferocious growl nearby!

Xulia starts jumping around like a twelve-year-old.

Strayla nods to you.

Karinalee cowers.

Alyxandrah glowers.

You scream!

Daelnor begins to twitch as he glances at Setzier.

Strayla says, "You'll be fine."

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "More blood..."

Karinalee ducks behind her silvery vultite shield.

You exclaim, "Blood!"

Ilvane gasps.

Strayla says, "Don't let it bother you."

Zacciwie says, "eew blood"

You exclaim, "Blood!"

Zacciwie flails his arms about.

Skyfawn says, "fight it Iscikella"

Aranrhod gasps.

Daelnor says, "blood....fire an blood"

Setzier thumps his fist against his breast, throwing back his head to howl out the prideful vengeance of a wounded jackal.

Strayla says, "Iscikella, calm down."

Skyfawn exclaims, "you are stronger, fight!"

Sheka says, "You're soooo tired Iscikella"

(Iscikella jumps out of the way of the blood.)

Daelnor looks rather confused.

Sheka stares at you.

Sheka says, "You're soooo tired Iscikella"

Armaxis says, "Mm...such a pleasant place, yesss..."

(Aranrhod stares at the blood)

Blizzerdd asks, "Ye wish release?"

You look at Sheka and shake your head.

Blizzerdd peers quizzically at you.

(Daelnor stands as the blood pools around his feet)

Daelnor stares at Setzier.

Setzier says, "The future blood of those who do not give into the coming fate."

Sheka says, "Relax and let it bring you peace."

You say, "I need to fight, love."

Xulia leans on Alyxandrah.

Sheka smiles at you.

(Ilvane glances around the area, her eyes wide)

Aranrhod says, "Halls running with blood"

You say, "They will take my soul."

Sheka says, "Relax and let it bring you peace."

Ilvane asks, "Where is it coming from?"

Karinalee kneels down.

Sheka rubs you gently.

Strayla looks over at Setzier and shakes her head.

(Aranrhod looks dazed)

Ilvane sighs softly.

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Karinalee ducks behind her silvery vultite shield.

Haxley says, "This is not the time for my favorite barbarians war cry, I'm thinking..."

Aranrhod asks, "Was that not a vision?"

Setzier shifts his eyes to Strayla.

Daelnor glances at Aranrhod.

Armaxis says, "Only but a small sample of that which shall flow through the streetsss of Icemule."

Sheka says, "Soooo tired..."

Karinalee continues to beseech the gods for mercy and guidance.

Junis smirks.

Xulia squints at Armaxis.

You rub your eyes.

Daelnor says, "so be it, mayhap yours will join it"

Daelnor hunches up his shoulders and snarls menacingly at Armaxis!

Junis says, "You seem so sure of yourself Armaxis... mayhaps the blood will be yours."

The blood touches Armaxis, staining his skin.

Aasterinian says, "I doubt there is that much blood in all of Mule."

Ilvane says, "Eerily familiar.."

Xulia blinks at Junis.

Haxley says, "I think it likes you."

You glance at Armaxis.

Daelnor says, "tainted...snake, perhaps you should be careful what you wish for"

Junis says, "Stand strong my lady"

Daelnor turns to face Setzier.

Aasterinian softly kisses his Huntress symbol, murmuring to himself.

Aranrhod says, "Or maybe not..."

Setzier says, "This is but a small stream compared to the river that will soon flow."

Ilvane just touched a faceted black diamond Ronan symbol.

Armaxis asks, "Do I look as if I mind?"

Blizzerdd asks, "So ye have found a new master Armaxis?"

(Strayla takes a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from the blood.)

Blizzerdd begins chuckling at Armaxis.

Jestin sighs.

Xulia asks, "look if yew gots un er?"

Haxley squints.

A few drops of blood fall upon Ilvane, her skin blistering.

Strayla asks, "Iscikella, how are you feeling?"

Xulia looks rather confused.

Aranrhod says, "I think he has just been blessed"

Haxley growls ferociously!

Strayla groans.

Alyxandrah blinks.

Daelnor says, "times come when blood must fall"

Grhim smiles slightly.

Zacciwie blinks at Ilvane.

You exclaim, "Ilvane!"

Jestin says, "Those that worship the dark seldom understand"

Daelnor exclaims in Elven, "ENOUGH!"

Roelon says, "Ah could provide another, jackal."

Daelnor stands up.

Roelon winks at Setzier.

Daelnor turns to face Setzier.

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Arimantis paces back and forth.

Aranrhod just tried to pull Daelnor towards her!

(Ilvane steps back a few paces)

Xulia points at Daelnor.

Xulia examines her fingernails.

Arimantis squints at a pulsating mist.

Aranrhod says, "Daelnor"

(Daelnor shakes Aranrhod off of him)

Blizzerdd says, "The blood has dried up like so many of their hopes to make her fail."

Sheka begins chuckling at Xulia.

You exclaim, "Love!"

Xulia puts on a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles.

Haxley says in Elven, "Daelnor..."

Daelnor strides over to stand before Setzier.

Blizzerdd cackles insanely, wild-eyed and drooling.

Xulia winks at Sheka.

You say, "I hurt all over."

Aranrhod just tried to pull Daelnor towards her!

Daelnor stares at Setzier.

Setzier twitches a bit and contorts his face in a lunatic grin.

Arimantis says, "She is gonna pay for that.."

You weep softly, quiet tears falling from your eyes.

Arimantis nods to Ilvane.

Roelon glances at you.

Aranrhod says, "No..."

Arimantis paces back and forth.

Daelnor sneers.

Strayla nods to Roelon.

Ilvane reaches out and holds your hand.

Roelon says, "Unfortunately, the more ye resist, the greater the pain."

Daelnor says in Elven, "why whisper jackal, share your thoughts with all"

Strayla asks, "can you move now Iscikella?"

You nod to Strayla.

Setzier smiles quietly to himself.

Strayla nods.

Pyrocite leans on her scythe.

Daelnor exclaims in Elven, "ah acknowledge there is a darkness to me..but it does not own me!"

Strayla asks, "do you wish to leave here?"

Strayla peers quizzically at you.

You say, "But I hurt everyplace..."

Arimantis paces back and forth.

Roelon just pushed the hood of his cloak back off his head.

Setzier says in Elven, "Yet."

Xulia exclaims, "run, empath run!"

Setzier slowly paces to his left, moving in a circle around you.

Strayla nods to you.

Roelon squints at a pulsating mist.

Aranrhod says, "Never"

Sheka says, "Soooo tired......sooo much in pain"

Aranrhod stares at Setzier.

Xulia gives you a little prod between the shoulder blades.

Strayla says, "It would be best for you to rest."

Roelon says, "Ah wonder if he knows the pain ye feel."

Sheka rubs you gently.

Roelon glances at you.

Vazridth says, "You know how to end your pain Iscikella."

Sheka smiles cruelly.

(Daelnor raises his knife and waves it under setziers nose)

Roelon squints at a pulsating mist.

Blizzerdd squints at Xulia.

Haxley says something in Half-Elven.

Xulia shrugs.

(Iscikella jumps away from Sheka.)

Daelnor says in Elven, "ware, or perhaps the hunt will find you one day"

Daelnor turns to face Vazridth.

Sheka cackles!

You exclaim, "Don't touch me!"

Xulia asks, "why we all standin ere?"

Strayla says, "The pain is the triumph Iscikella, you have won again."

Aasterinian chuckles.

Strayla nods to you.

Vazridth smirks.

Daelnor says in Elven, "and for you..I will have your heart in my hand"

You say, "Love, take me away. I hurt all over..."

Daelnor stares at Vazridth.

You lean on Blizzerdd.

Roelon just touched a veil iron bound soul sphere.

Ilvane mutters never.

Skyfawn hugs you.

Xulia says, "jes gunna haf mere tings happenin"

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Vazridth grins at Daelnor.

Blizzerdd clasps your hand tenderly.

Roelon sighs.

Pyrocite glances at Daelnor.

(Sheka 's eye glow brightly like emerald fires.)

Skyfawn says, "be safe"

Roelon shifts his weight.

Setzier laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Blizzerdd says, "We go.."

(Sheka 's eyes glow brightly like emerald fires.)

Skyfawn just hugged Blizzerdd.

Roelon says, "Ye cannae run from it."

Setzier says, "It is only inevitable, Sylvan..."

Ilvane glances at Armaxis.

Sheka cackles!

Pyrocite says in Elven, "I would be..much displeased..to see that happen."

Skyfawn says, "be safe"

You look at Setzier and shake your head.

(Aranrhod rubs her left leg)

Ilvane says, "Never snake."

You say, "It's not inevitable."

You exclaim, "Never!"

Arimantis glances at Armaxis.

Armaxis chuckles.

Aranrhod shifts her weight.

You glower.

Ilvane says, "You will never have this town."

Setzier says, "You will give into the entity - or the entity will encompass you fully."

Blizzerdd says, "Be wary snakes...soon I will come..."

Daelnor turns around.

Sheka says, "This town is Lornon's."

Roelon glances at Setzier.

You nod to Blizzerdd.

Armaxis says, "It shall happen, with her willing or not. The Ascension of the Nine shall be complete."

Karinalee growls ferociously!

Blizzerdd gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Blizzerdd gestures.
Your surroundings blur for a moment . . .
