You concentrate on the Transference spell...
You gesture into the air.

[Icemule Trace, Town Center]
The bustling town comes together in this square. Halflings dressed in varying fashions stand about, some chattering happily, others reclining on cloaks laid on the ground. One ancient halfling leans against the base of the large ice statue of a mule, snoring blissfully. A feeling of community pervades the area, putting you immediately at ease. You also see the Frugus disk, the Radoria disk, the Drilor disk and a carved ice bench with some stuff on it.
Also here: Schnuffy, Siddus, Rachetjaw, Tayre who is sitting, Journeyman Zeleron who is lying down, Marna, Rhapsity, Lady Kerilyn, Frugus who is lying down, Syssa who is lying down, Galenok who is sitting, Verz who is kneeling, Lord Radoria, Drilor who is lying down, Rendena

He appears to be in his 50's, has shoulder length, wavy silver hair, green eyes, and fair skin.
He has a coiled gold dragon tattoo on his arm, and a regal gryphon tattoo on his arm.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a crystal amulet, a faceted star emerald earring, some gleaming silvery rolaren brigandine, a woven rolaren weapons harness, some mithril alloy studded boots, a gold-trimmed blue spidersilk greatcloak, a golden spidersilk gem pouch, some elegant spidersilk pants, and a gold ring.

[Icemule Trace, South Road]

[The Nightowl Pub, Lounge]
Waitresses wearing feathered headdresses fashioned like the heads of owls work the room swiftly and quietly, trying not to interrupt the guests or the stage act.

You also see a South Gate guard and a steep staircase.
Obvious exits: none.
Galenok followed.

You and your group head over to the Owlet Table.

[Owlet Table]
Etched into the table top are what appear to be hundreds of tiny owls emerging from their eggs. The whole table is topped by a sheet of thick glass which is bolted down, to prevent further carving into the table's surface. Each chairseat is shaped like a cream-colored oval, giving the surreal impression that the patrons are also emerging from eggs. You also see a dingy violet blouse.
Obvious exits: out.

Galenok smiles at you.

You say, "Please sit."

Galenok says, "I want to preface anything I say with the fact that I respect ye greatly"

Galenok says, "I know nearly nothing as to what you and yer fellow comrades are doing in reference to yer quest"

Galenok says, "But it disgusts me when the worshipers of the dark gods fear not the light of day and discuss what they do openly"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "I can understand."

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "I barely know any of you but you seem to be the most in control of yer senses"

Galenok grins.

You say, "Well, usually."

You chuckle at Galenok.

Galenok asks, "My question is why would Grhim, Junis, Sheka and a couple others not sound like they took even a slight defeat tonight? If what Tiaza did was good?"

You say, "That might be my fault."

You say, "Because I said I felt no different."

You say, "and they lauded that over her."

You say, "But I felt no different."

You sigh.

Galenok says, "I think you felt no different because the essence is still there"

Galenok says, "but it's just a gut instinct"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "I feel the same"

Galenok says, "They did horrible things to the altar in Voln"

You say, "But she insists is gone."

You say, "And that I just don't realize it yet."

You say, "And she is more learned than I am."

You say, "So perhaps she is right."

You say, "But I just know I feel no different."

Galenok says, "let me state this and for the most part I shall be done"

Galenok says, "It is widely know there are followers of the Lornon arkati in Voln. To me this is not good"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "She did question several of them a few days ago, Galenok."

You say, "Tiaza."

You say, "I will tell ye that honestly."

You nod.

Galenok asks, "Just because Tiaza is a monk of Voln who is to say she does not worship a Lornon god?"

Galenok shrugs.

Galenok says, "I'm not trying to stir things up but she did lead you from Voln and then the others showed up to desecrate the altar"

Galenok says, "maybe they do that every night"

Galenok shrugs.

Galenok says, "I kinda doubt it"

Galenok says, "maybe they liked teasing me because I was there"

Galenok shrugs.

You say, "I think yer concerns are valid, Galenok."

You say, "But I do think I... kind of... threw Tiaza for a loop."

Galenok says, "I only am concerned about you and what is best for Icemule"

You say, "By saying outright I did not think the essence gone."

You say, "When she was insisting it was."

Galenok says, "exactly"

Galenok says, "she expects you to think it is gone"

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "I just don't know"

Galenok says, "One last question"

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok asks, "What if that wail was Thurfel?"

You shiver.

You say, "I've thought about that."

Galenok says, "well I'm glad you have"

You say, "If it hurt him in any way..."

You bite your lip.

You tighten your grip on your honey beer.

Galenok says, "seems some folks think we've about won tonight by their chatter and partying"

Galenok shakes his head.

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "I will be dying for this town with the Fury"

You say, "I will be healing and fogging and helping however I can."

Galenok nods.

You say, "And I imagine I will be dying."

Galenok says, "we all will"

You say, "But please know yer concerns are not ignored."

You say, "I am... confused by Tiaza."

You say, "I want to believe in her."

You say, "But she ignored what I said."

You say, "Like it wasn't important."

You say, "I wish ye to know, Galenok, that ye may come to me at any time."

You say, "Truly."

Iscikella smiles timidly.

Galenok asks, "I am scared. I know you are. Have you found out anything else about yer husband's role in this?"

You look at Galenok and shake your head.

You say, "Not yet."

Galenok smiles at you.

You say, "I only know he wants Thurfel dead, which I understand to an extent."

Galenok says, "I'm sure it'll all be well in the end"

You say, "But siding with Yfa to do it..."

You shudder.

Galenok says, "I used to want him dead too but now I am not so sure"

You say, "I say honestly Thurfel is no white knight."

You say, "He is dark, he likes power, and he has an ego."

You say, "But he loves IceMule."

Galenok nods.

You say, "That I know."

Iscikella smiles certainly.

Galenok says, "exactly why he might be our only hope"

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "I am confused and out of touch with what is going on besides these last two weeks or so"

You say, "Is a lot to grasp."

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "And I realize that."

Galenok says, "but Yfa comments about Thurfel dying and weakening strikes me as extremely bad"

You say, "But was revealed yesterday by Yfa what Amasalen wants from the town."

You say, "IceMule is a nexus, and if he controls IceMule, Amasalen controls all magic."

Galenok asks, "sso Yfa is working for Amasalen?"

You say, "Now the secret is known."

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok nods.

You say, "Yfa was sent by Amasalen to kill Thurfel."

You say, "Thurfel served Amasalen himself."

You say, "But he... rebelled."

You say, "To a certain extent."

You say, "His mission was to free the nine."

Galenok asks, "I need to read more. I know nothing of this Amasalen. How is he so powerful?"

You say, "And Yfa told us he has had the power to do that for a long time and has refused to use it."

Galenok nods.

You say, "Amasalen is an immortal."

Galenok asks, "is he an Arkati?"

You say, "Not Arkati, but made immortal by the Arkati."

You say, "He is the... first minion of Luukos."

You say, "He is called The Executioner."

You say, "The Lord of Blood."

Galenok says, "sounds very strange to me and now he speaks of the arkati serving him"

Galenok nods.

You say, "He does not speak so much of the Arkati serving him, as all mortals of the town serving him."

You say, "He is a greedy one."

You say, "One time Faendryl before made immortal."

You say, "It fits, doesn't it."

You smirk.

You say, "Dark elves and their greed for power."

You shake your head.

Galenok chuckles.

You smile at Galenok.

Galenok asks, "so we have at most two days?"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "So she said."

You say, "And I believe it."

Galenok asks, "we're in real trouble aren't we?"

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok sighs.

You say, "Indeed we are."

You ask, "Ye sure ye would not wish to meet Tiaza and judge her for yerself?"

Galenok says, "we're not going to figure it out before this comes down upon us like an avalanche"

You say, "I am not her favorite person right now, but..."

You chuckle.

You say, "I will introduce ye."

Galenok says, "no I thought she'd want to see if the altar was desecrated but she did not. I have no desire to see her"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "She thought the Lornonites foolish and said that."

You say, "But she said they could not hurt her lord."

You say, "Only stone."

You say, "So think ye should know she said that."

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "no she's wrong"

Galenok says, "her lord may not have been hurt but the society could be"

You nod to Galenok.

You say, "True enough."

Galenok says, "It is a symbol of the power of Voln"

Galenok says, "it is holy"

Galenok says, "it should not be allowed to be ruined"

You say, "I do agree."

You say, "And since Yfa was so quick to defend Amasalen's altar..."

You say, "Well..."

Galenok says, "until I discover that their actions were reversed then I will walk all the way to the Landing. I will no longer go to ours"

Galenok nods to you.

You say, "I will perform a vigil there if ye like, but all my vigils are to Lumnis."

Galenok says, "I agree with you totally"

You say, "And not Voln."

Galenok smiles at you.

You say, "So I will ask Tiaza."

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "you truly try so hard"

You blush a delicate shade of pink.

Galenok says, "you poor woman. I am so sorry for what has happened to you. It cannot be...pleasant"

You sigh softly.

You say, "Nae has not been."

You say, "But Lumnis is with me in my heart."

You say, "And that aids me."

Galenok nods.

Galenok says, "I'm sure it does"

Galenok asks, "what I cannot figure is that the entire town showed no concern over what was being done?"

Galenok shakes his head.

You say, "Most try to act like they are too... worldly to bother with the Arkati."

Galenok says, "figures most of the town was sleeping down by the abandoned farm"

You say, "It is a common failing among... adventurers."

Galenok chuckles.

You grin wryly.

Galenok nods.

You ask, "Is there anything more I can do for ye tonight?"

You say, "Truly I will ask Tiaza to cleanse the altar."

Galenok says, "I have found that i enjoy this world more once I changed the way I acted. I grew more interested in the daily happenings of Elanthia"

You say, "And I will let ye know if she does so."

Galenok nods to you.

Galenok says, "thank you"

Galenok says, "You are very kind to take the time and effort to have spoken to me"

You say, "Oh, if we talk to no one, we become closed off."

You nod to Galenok.

Galenok says, "You have many more concerns. May the blessing of Charl go with ye as well as Lumnis"

You say, "I try not to do that."

You say, "Thank ye kindly."

You ask, "May I take ye back to the Centre? Or do ye wish to sit here a while?"

Galenok says, "I will make it on my own but thank you"

Galenok scoots his chair back and stands up.

You nod to Galenok.

You curtsy.

You say, "May Her wisdom always guide yer way."

Galenok bows to you.

(Iscikella touches the tips of the five fingers of her right hand to her forehead in a symbol of respect and recognition to the Wise Goddess.)

You smile.

[Honeybeer Inn, Tap Room]
The lower walls are tinted plaster over stone, as evidenced by the chips at the exact level of the chair backs. The bar itself is worn, and the low brass footrest is polished only by the shoes of the many customers who have cradled a pint while leaning against the bar. You also see a polished oak menu.
Also in the room: Barvel, Arimantis, High Lady Kadesha, Lord Catthief, Nadinna, the Esteemed Lady Skyfawn, Zacciwie, Ichiko, Atonia, Lady Ilvane, Rongari, High Lord Shonison, Aranrhod, Jestin
Obvious exits: east.

Ilvane grins at Kadesha.

Ilvane nods.

You ask, "She is gone?"

Jestin takes a drink from his honey beer.

Aranrhod says, "Just left"

Atonia nods.

Catthief takes a drink from his honey beer.

Zacciwie shows Ilvane his sweet white chocolate.

Shonison says, "aye, for the night"

You say, "I needed to ask her something."

You sigh.

Kadesha says, "just now left"

Zacciwie takes a bite of his sweet white chocolate.

Nadinna says, "She'll be back."
