Cast your power unto me and show me how it feels to have the divine energy of the gods coarsing through my body."

Daelnor says, "shadows cloak ye e'en now"

Aranrhod blinks at you.

Sheka coughs.

Daelnor says, "always.."

Alyxandrah peers quizzically at you.

(Tierus turns away from Daelnor's mad rantings.)

Sepher clears his throat.

Tierus closes his eyes for a moment.

Daelnor says, "always following..always there"

Xulia says, "dunn smoke"

Daelnor babbles something unintelligible.

Ryever says, "The last remnants of an inferno."

You exclaim, "Didn't ye see it!"

You say, "The smoke..."

Alyxandrah says, "Aye, we saw it."

Tierus yells, "M'lady Yfa... p'raps if ye saved Thurfel, 'e'd love ye again!"

Neava nods to you.

Xulia says, "aye"

Alyxandrah says, "He never loved her to begin with."

Tierus yells, "Dun' give up hope!"

Xulia says, "Yfa, perhaps I kin buy yew a drink"

Ryever blinks.

Tierus glances at Alyxandrah.

Tierus exclaims, "Dun' tell 'er that!"

Alyxandrah says, "She's just jealous..."

Xulia says, "I gots some right ere"

Alyxandrah says, "Angry."

Junis snorts.

Tierus turns around.

Xulia says, "sum fella, offer her a drink"

Xydel says, "Im not sure"

Xydel says, "But i was talking to it"

Tierus yells, "Yfa, come an' aid Thurfel... an' p'raps 'twill fan tha spark o' love in tha depths o' 'is heart!"

Alyxandrah says, "Yfa, this is hardly the way to win a man's heart."

Alyxandrah smirks.

Daelnor says, "funny, ah think..tha shadows ah run an hide from..now they wrap me..protect me.."

Daelnor chuckles.

Sheka says, "How many years has she loved him? And he never her."

Daelnor mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Xulia says, "Yfa, he dunn love yew"

Daelnor babbles something unintelligible.

Aranrhod tries to pull Daelnor to his feet, but he is too heavy.

Xulia says, "Eons, an he cares not fer yew"

Damianee just arrived.

Xulia says, "He'll lock yew in a tomb"

Xydel smiles at Damianee.

Damianee growls ferociously!

Tierus points at Damianee.

Xulia glances at Damianee.

Alyxandrah pokes Xulia in the ribs.

You ask, "M'lord? Are ye allright? Was that smoke of yer making?"

Xulia flails her arms about.

Xydel says, "Greeting Damianee"

Tloran peers quizzically at Damianee.

Xydel says, "Tell us of your travel"

Tloran asks, "Where did ya go?"

Tierus says, "Ah, look. Still stinkin' o' burnt flesh, ah see."

Junis glares at Damianee.

Alyxandrah laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Arimantis pets the arctic fox.

Xydel nods to Damianee in greeting.

Damianee says, "Koar visited me"

Tierus smiles jubilantly at Damianee.

Xydel smiles at Damianee.

Theradose recites:
"Oh mystical one Thurfel
As I wait here there is but one think I can tell
Yourself you refuse to reveal
To you..I shall never bow and kneel."

Ryever shifts his eyes to Damianee.

Arimantis squints at Damianee.

You blink at Damianee.

Damianee says, "didn't say much."

Xydel asks, "What did he say?"

Daelnor cackles!

Alyxandrah asks, "Oh?"

Damianee grins.

Xydel nods to Damianee.

Daelnor sways side to side on his knees.

You say, "Ye were burned..."

Alyxandrah rolls her eyes.

Aranrhod raises an eyebrow.

Junis smirks.

Xydel exclaims, "No, he disapeared!"

Damianee says, "aye..burned back to the landing."

Xydel says, "I told you"

Xydel nods to Damianee.

Daelnor suddenly appears downtrodden.

The sense of peace and security passes away from the area.

Sheka asks, "Yet alive?"

Sheka cocks her head at Damianee.

Damianee says, "aye"

Aranrhod glances at Daelnor.

You whisper quietly to Aranrhod, "Have to say I am confused."

Daelnor blinks.

Junis lifts his face as a wild cry bursts from his lips!
Damianee looks startled, but quickly regains composure.

Damianee blinks at Junis.

Junis says, "Dun ever slap me."

Alyxandrah just touched a tiny coral starfish pendant.

Tierus gawks at Junis.

Junis says, "Ever."

Arimantis smiles at Alyxandrah.

Xulia rubs Alyxandrah gently.

(Iscikella runs a hand through her hair.)

Damianee says, "i'll slap ye if i please."

You squint at a pulsating mist.

Junis says, "Then ye'll pay."

Stillson scratches his head.

Damianee says, "never use the guild skills agaist me ever."

Xydel says, "With dire consiquences...careful"

Alyxandrah hangs her head.

Arimantis says, "He will get out"

Arimantis nods to Alyxandrah.

Xulia just tried to pull Alyxandrah towards her!

Daelnor says in Sylvankind, "friend o mine, protect ye still ah will, though ah believe ye fight a losing battle.."

Daelnor says in Sylvankind, "no one was there...no one"

Damianee asks, "Did Lord Thurfel Appear yet?"

Daelnor sways side to side on his knees.

Theradose recites:
"Wind blows
Fire burns
You Thurfel appear week
It is my respect you shall never earn."

Junis says, "Very well, you have your warning, touch me again and you'll wish you hadnt."

Xydel looks over at Damianee and shakes his head.

Damianee squints at a pulsating mist.

Xulia exclaims, "Yfa! I gots a drink fer yew!"

Daelnor says in Sylvankind, "beneath the altar o Ronan and Lumnis..ah fell"

Sheka paces back and forth.

Daelnor says in Sylvankind, "the shadows..the comfort mah soul, they caress, but still, my blade serves you"

Damianee grins at Ryever.

Daelnor nods to you.

Xydel squints at a pulsating mist.

Theradose exclaims, "Show yourself Thurfel..Show us your true power!"

Damianee says, "Thats my job."

Theradose peers quizzically at Damianee.

Xydel rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Arimantis gazes heavenward.

Alyxandrah rolls her eyes.

Tloran gestures at Damianee.
CS: +226 - TD: +119 + CvA: +12 + d100: +81 - +50 == +150
Warding failed!
Damianee's eyes roll up into his head as he slumps to the ground.
Damianee snores quietly.

Alyxandrah grins at Junis.

Junis says, "Someones slap eager tonight."

Sepher starts chortling.

Tloran snorts.

You say in Sylvankind, "Quietly, Daelnor."

Theradose says, "leave him"

Damianee snores quietly.

Arimantis says, "Now there is a battle of wits"

You nod to Daelnor.

Damianee awakens startled.

Sepher pokes Damianee in the ribs.

Arimantis stares off into space.

Sheka asks, "You have quit challenging him then?"

You squint at a pulsating mist.

Sheka cocks her head at Damianee.

Ryever shifts his eyes to Sepher.

Damianee says, "Nae."

Ryever nods to Sepher in greeting.

Alyxandrah gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Sepher nods to Ryever in greeting.

Damianee says, "i Still challange him."

Xulia begins to twitch.

Daelnor asks in Sylvankind, "quietly?"

Damianee says, "but he will not show himself."

Aranrhod nods to Daelnor.

Xydel shakes his head.

Tloran says, "If I cin sleep yas...ya nae a match fer Thurfel"

Ryever says, "I do believe he's busy..."

Xydel says, "No, he wont"

Xydel says, "Not tonight"

Sepher chuckles.

Tloran says, "Me too"

Theradose says, "Thurfel is weak"

Damianee asks, "Koar what did you wish of me?"

Sepher says, "Have never actually met the chap though."

Tloran nods to Sepher.

(Iscikella stares off into the mist.)

Theradose asks, "cant you all see?"

Sepher says, "Mages are weak."

Ryever says, "Yes, bring him trinkets, I'm sure he'll be so kind as to lay them at the foot of your grave."

Xydel gazes heavenward.

Tloran snorts.

Arimantis glances at Damianee.

Xydel says, "Kaor..."

Ryever says, "If he bothers to bury you."

Xulia gazes heavenward.

Theradose says, "He wont even face you people"

Xydel says, "Koar rather"

Junis says, "I think someone was seeing things."

Damianee nods to Alyxandrah.

Sheka says, "Bahh"

Aranrhod rubs her chin thoughtfully.

A wall guardian marches in.

Alyxandrah laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Xydel swings a gold-hafted silvery rolaren hatchet at a wall guardian!

Sepher prods the guardian with his toe.

Bedlamson gestures.
A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.

Xydel wails!

The thorny vine lashes out, but is unable to grasp ahold of anything.

Alyxandrah says, "Thurfel."

Xulia grins.

The thorny vine lashes out, but is unable to grasp ahold of anything.

You squint at a pulsating mist.

(Sepher waves a hand at his vine, sending it slightly into the mist.)

Aranrhod sighs.

Sheka glances at Xulia.

Damianee says, "Koar hear me. tell me what you wish of me."

Sheka mutters darkly.

The thorny vine suddenly stops moving, drops to the ground, and dissolves away.

Junis says, "Koar doesnt want anything of you."

Damianee blinks at Junis.

Junis says, "You were seeing things."

Theradose nods to Junis.

Tierus removes a veined blue dreamstone mask from in his black velvet rucksack.
Tierus gazes in awe at the mask in his hand.

Ryever leans back.

Sepher shifts his weight.

Sepher yawns.

Damianee sighs.

Sheka glances at Arimantis.

Xydel nods to Damianee.

Arimantis glances at Sheka.

You squint at a pulsating mist.

Damianee says, "Quit playing games..show me what ye want"

Sheka asks, "No drink for all this?"

Daelnor cackles!

You ask, "Are ye allright?"

Sheka sneers at Arimantis.

Sepher snaps his fingers.

Alyxandrah kneels down.

Daelnor shifts his weight.

Xulia tries to pull Alyxandrah to her feet, but she is too heavy.

Junis asks, "Xulia, you do this to him?"

Aranrhod tries to pull Daelnor to his feet, but he is too heavy.

Arimantis smirks.

Xulia asks, "what are yew doin?"

Aranrhod tries to pull Daelnor to his feet, but he is too heavy.

Theradose says, "I think its over"

Tierus says, "Nothin' we cin do bu' wait."

Xulia asks, "did I do wha?"

Theradose says, "Hes not coming"

Xydel nods to Damianee.

Daelnor says, "wait..."

Junis asks, "Make him think he saw Koar?"

Xulia grins.

Daelnor says, "it will find ye"

Tierus suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason.

Daelnor nods.

Tierus says, "Oh, Gods."

Damianee says, "Koar please appear and ask what you want of me."

Tierus sways back and forth.

Theradose begins chuckling at Damianee.

Daelnor says, "gods..."

Daelnor chuckles.

Xulia grins.

Sepher asks, "Why would Koar come for you?"

(Tierus raises a hand to his forehead.)

Sepher smirks.

Junis nods to Alyxandrah.

Tierus blinks.

Daelnor cackles!

Alyxandrah giggles.

Damianee says, "Koar appeared before me."

Xulia tries to pull Alyxandrah to her feet, but she is too heavy.

Daelnor babbles something unintelligible.

Alyxandrah peers quizzically at Tierus.

Sepher says, "Or for anyone for that matter."

Tierus swoons.

Sheka says, "I thought you came for Yga....not koar"

Sepher says, "I'm sure he did"

Alyxandrah asks, "Are you alright, Tierus?"

Junis says, "I'm telling you Damianee, you're imagining things."

Sheka says, "yfa"

Alyxandrah rubs Tierus gently.

Damianee says, "i am not."

Sheka asks, "Who did you come for?"

Sheka stares at Damianee.

Daelnor pokes Tierus in the ribs.

Tierus says, "'e... took too much."

Daelnor rolls Tierus over.

Damianee says, "M'lord why do you mock me like this, everyone thinks i am crazy."

Tierus nods to Alyxandrah.

Xulia says, "Koar appears at times on da trail from da Landin"

Junis says, "You're head was stuck so far into the map you imagined up Koar."

Xulia shrugs.

Daelnor giggles.

Xulia just nudged Damianee.

Damianee says, "he appeared twice."

Xulia says, "join da crowd"

Alyxandrah says, "He wouldn't take too much, just enough."

Junis whispers, "I dont know..."

Xulia whistles tunelessly to herself.

Daelnor sways side to side on his knees.

Alyxandrah smiles softly.

(Tierus tries to raise a hand, but it just falls to his side uselessly.)

Sheka says, "You came for a wemch in red"

Theradose recites:
"Yfa
If you can sense what goes on here
Don't fear
Guide us..so we could see the purpose of our actions."

Sheka says, "You came for a wench in red"

Alyxandrah just kissed Tierus on the forehead.

Junis snorts.

Damianee says, "Yfa will be mine."

Tierus says, "'e took jus' 'nuff fer one mind tae live off of... bu' nae two."

Damianee nods to Sheka.

Tierus says, "Ah need tae rest, Alyx."

Sheka says, "I'm sure Koar will appreciate that."

Alyxandrah says, "Yfa will die."

Sheka snorts.

Junis says, "Yfa couldnt guide a dog on a leash."

Xydel says, "Yfa looks old"

Xydel smiles at Alyxandrah.

Ryever says, "So bloodthirsty."

Xydel says, "And she has a bone"

Sepher starts chortling.

Xydel smiles at Alyxandrah.

Tierus moves to a kneeling position.

Alyxandrah rubs Tierus gently.

Xydel says, "The bone looks scarry"

Sepher shuffles his feet.

Xydel smirks.

Ryever says, "The righteous craving death and cheering Thurfel to a fiery victory."

Damianee says, "Koar Thurfel someone speak."

Xulia says, "I nae scared of any bone"

Xulia whistles tunelessly to herself.

Ryever says, "Whatever happens, this town is already lost."

Junis asks, "Why's she keeping after Thurfel like some love sick puppy? Has he ever returned the love?"

Xydel says, "I am"

You glance at Ryever.

You say, "Hardly."

Daelnor says, "ah only see blood..blood everywhere"

Alyxandrah says, "Never."

Alyxandrah nods to Junis.

Xydel asks, "Were you paying attention to the ground?"

Xydel grins at Xulia.

Sepher starts chuckling at you!

Daelnor says, "and shadows.."

Daelnor says, "an dead"

Sepher says, "Delutions"

Xydel says, "That could be me"

Xydel winks at Xulia.

Ryever says, "I can't blame you for not trusting many among us, Iscikella."

Ashren nods to Xulia.

Alyxandrah says, "Tis why she wants him dead."

Sepher cackles!

Ryever asks, "Look at them?"

Junis whispers, "did you not see the walls earlier?"

Aranrhod asks, "You think we are all here to save Thurfel?"

Aranrhod peers quizzically at Ryever.

Alyxandrah stands up.

Ryever says, "calling for death"

Daelnor begins to twitch.

Tierus sighs.

Neava says, "the righteous dont fear death"

Sepher nods to Ryever.

Theradose kneels down.

Aranrhod snickers.

Alyxandrah blinks.

Tierus says, "Ryever... Thurfel be our only 'ope."

You shake your head at Junis.

Sepher says, "Alla us are nothing but worthless leeches and thieves."

Sepher nods to you.

Ryever exclaims, "Offering up their Souls to Thurfel of all people!"

Tierus says, "An' 'e be my Mas'er. By rights, me soul is 'is."

Ryever laughs!

Junis whispers, "they buckled, and then a few stones fell from them."

Xydel says, "speak fer yourself"

Xydel gawks at Sepher.

Daelnor says, "mah soul..ah dun ha' a soul"

Junis says, "I dun offer him my soul."

Sepher just tickled Xydel.

Xydel snaps his fingers.

Daelnor chuckles.

(Theradose kneels down and puts himself in a meditative trance. It appears as if he is trying to listen to the voices of the great spirits whose presence could quite possibly be eminating throughout this very area.)

Daelnor says, "mah soul is gone.."

Aranrhod says, "You are confused as most snakes are..."

Daelnor says, "has been claimed"

Sepher cackles!

Theradose stands up.

Daelnor says, "snakes and jackals shadows an fire"

Daelnor laughs!

You say, "I don't understand why she kissed me... the strange one."

Tierus sighs.

Xydel says, "To teach you"

Aranrhod says, "Maybe not really a she..."

Aranrhod shifts her weight.

Xydel says, "Or frighten you"

Xulia just tried to pull Alyxandrah towards her!

Ryever asks, "Have you learned the name of the entity yet, Iscikella?"

Xydel says, "Fear not"

Xydel rubs you gently.

You shake your head.

Sepher says, "I know what Im'a do to the next one."

Sepher flashes a wide grin.

Xulia just kissed Alyxandrah on the cheek.

Junis squints.

Aranrhod sighs.

Ryever says, "Would be a wonder if it was Yfa herself, using you as an anchor here to go about her deeds."

Sheka grins coldly, her eyes reflecting no emotion.

Sepher grins slowly.

Theradose says, "Speak to me fine mist. I shall bear your message to those you intend to hear it."

You say, "I don't know."

Tierus asks, "Woul' ye make up yer mind?"

Tierus peers quizzically at Theradose.

Sepher says, "Someone's a little greedy for power there."

Sepher just nudged Theradose.

Tierus says, "Ye mock Thurfel, then ye call fer 'is words..."

Daelnor says, "power is nothing"

Tierus says, "Quite foolish."

Daelnor chuckles.

Xulia slowly empties her lungs.

Theradose says, "I do not mock"

Sheka paces back and forth.

Sepher says, "Power is nothing."

Damianee says, "Thurfel you coward"

Theradose says, "I only speak the truth"

Sheka squints.

Daelnor says, "it will be a boon for a short time"

Sepher nods to Daelnor.

Daelnor says, "but will be taken back in the end"
