Unclean... (Cont'd) Day of the Huntress, day 12 of the month Jastatos in the year 5101

You reach out and touch a grey altar.

Tierus says, "They 'aftae use trickery. Couldnae win out against a will if tha mind knew it wir comin'."

Roelon says, "Though ah nae mean any harm, those of ye possessed must be very weak."

(Elendr wipes the tears from his eyes, working his face into a mask of stern resolve.)

Elendr scowls.

You ask, "Aye, essence, who is watching from the shadows?"

Grimfandel put a berry-stained parchment in his tart satchel.

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

You say, "and this be the insult champion of the Dhu Gillywack? Sounds more like the insult champion of the Lower Penguin on Ladies Night after a 12 night drunken binge"

Grimfandel put a strawberry tart in his ankle sheath.

You glance at Roelon.

Roelon squints.

Grimfandel giggles.

Roelon waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.

Grimfandel exclaims, "S'true!"

Ilvane starts chortling.

Arimantis chuckles.

You say, "Hardly weak."

Angelrise mutters under her breath.

Roelon says, "Don' hae me start something ye cannae finish..."

Tierus says, "Thirteen night. Aha! Ye underestimate tha strength o' a Faendryl stomach."

Tierus sticks out his tongue and lets loose with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips!

Grimfandel begins chuckling at Tierus.

Ilvane leans on you.

Arimantis asks, "Spunkey... who was spyin on us in the bar, an at the shrine?"

Tierus takes a drink from his malt whiskey.
Tierus's eyes glaze over slightly and his face pales.
Tierus is stunned!

Ilvane asks, "Are you ever going to keep your mouth shut?"

Ilvane squints at you.

Arimantis squints.

(Iscikella leans heavily against Blizzerdd.)

Blizzerdd falls over.

Tierus exclaims, "Tha's it! Ye're nae e'en one o' tha Council!"

Blizzerdd mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Blizzerdd stands up.

You glance at Blizzerdd.

Roelon asks, "Blizzerdd. Do ye happen to hae some thread and needle?"

Ilvane says, "You talk too much, and you aren't very witty."

Roelon peers quizzically at Blizzerdd.

Ilvane glances at you and yawns.

Grimfandel says something in Halfling.

(Tierus lurches forward, his eyes widening.)

Blizzerdd says, "Only a gag"

Tierus says, "Ye're nae one o' tha Council at all."

Roelon grumbles.

Roelon nods.

Tierus looks over at you and shakes his head.

Angelrise asks, "Who is then?"

Grimfandel says something in Halfling.

Angelrise asks, "or who is it then?"

You say, "Why did you want to put your tongue in it? Perhaps we shouldn't do this in public, my dear"

Grimfandel says something in Halfling.

Ilvane gasps.

Angelrise gazes heavenward.

You blink.

Blizzerdd peers quizzically at Ilvane.

Roelon squints.

Ilvane folds her arms over her chest, glancing at you.

Arimantis squints at you.

Blizzerdd asks, "Who me?"

Grimfandel exclaims something in Halfling.

Grimfandel mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Grimfandel swears quietly at himself.

Ilvane mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Grimfandel rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Angelrise says, "The essense doesn't like you much Blizzerdd.. it's after Ilvane.."

Angelrise smirks.

Grimfandel exclaims something in Halfling.

Roelon taps Tierus lightly on his shoulder.

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Ilvane exclaims, "Oh..oh..shut up!"

Elendr exclaims, "Essence. I'm tired of listening to your callous and demeaning ways. I dislike further that you are talking out of a sylvan creature, whose race is renowned for its natural beauty and honor. I hate the fact that you have siphoned my strength from me and forced me to stay in this frozen town. Now leave, or so help me I will lose it and don't dare to conjecture what I'll do!"

Grimfandel asks something in Halfling.

Blizzerdd leans to his right slightly.

Roelon asks, "Can ye silence that thing?"

(Blizzerdd reaches for Iscikella lustfully then notices all of the people around and stops.)

Ilvane folds her arms over her chest with an air of superiority.

(Elendr screams in rage at Iscikella!)

(Blizzerdd searches around for his riding crop...lucky for Iscikella he can't find it.)

You cower away from Elendr.

Elendr grits his teeth.

Elendr stands up.

You cower away from Blizzerdd.

Angelrise just touched Elendr.

Tierus grins at Blizzerdd.

Tierus asks, "Whatcha lookin' fer?"

(Iscikella backs away from everybody.)

Elendr removes a sacred cross-hilted dagger from in his dagger sheath.

Roelon asks, "Essence of dead flesh. Can all ye do is speak witless words?"

Grimfandel raises an eyebrow.

Ilvane glances at you and paces back and forth.

Grimfandel frowns.

Ilvane smirks.

Grimfandel searches around for a moment.

Blizzerdd removes a leather whip from in his raw white silk robe.

Grimfandel raises an eyebrow.

Cezzane snickers.

Blizzerdd smacks his lips.

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Cezzane says, "Down boy"

Grimfandel searches around for a moment.

You say, "No, that appears to be the domain of Tierus, Lord of the Loo"

Angelrise says, "Elendr.. remember, that there is no proof of who or what you are challenging."

Cezzane nods to Blizzerdd.

Skitter! Blizzerdd spins the whip in tight coils, making it skitter across the ground. The coils follow one another, growing from small, tight coils to large, rolling ones. The whip comes to rest dutifully at Blizzerdd's side.

You bury your face in your hands.

Tierus says, "Ahh, bu' this essence is nae wi'out wit. If ye cin consider a mace sharp, ye cin consider this essence a piece o' genius."

Blizzerdd begins chuckling at Cezzane.

Roelon grins.

Grimfandel asks, "Sharp as a marble eh?"

Angelrise says, "For all we know.. this could be Iscikella herself, disguised as the essense within her.."

Arimantis grins at Grimfandel.

Angelrise starts chortling.

You shake your head.

Roelon glances at you.

Roelon nods to Angelrise.

You say, "I have more imagination."

You hear the voice of Elendr say, "Tierus. If you don't stop badgering it, you're tongue is first. If that doesn't keep you from speaking, hers is next, and I dare the thing to try and gurgle up its stupid insults."

Ilvane says, "It is quite boring, about as sharp as a club."

Blizzerdd says, "Well now we know why this mage was buried, it was fer its lack of wit."

Ilvane grins slowly.

Blizzerdd nods to you.

Roelon says, "Cannae tell them apart."

Grimfandel grins.

You say, "Which would leave the Loo Lord as sharp as a piece o cheese"

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane on the nose.

Roelon looks rather confused.

You hear a menacing snarl nearby!

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Roelon glances at Tierus.

Roelon appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Ilvane giggles.

Grimfandel exclaims, "Cheese can be surprisingly dangerous yeh know!"

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Blizzerdd gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Blizzerdd gestures.
A sudden burst of bright light emanates from Blizzerdd's hand!
Elendr is revealed from hiding!

Grimfandel says, "Kilt me second uncle it did"

Tierus says, "Unclever at best. Cheese cin be verrah sharp."

Blizzerdd chuckles.

Ilvane nods to Tierus.

Cezzane chuckles.

Cezzane rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Angelrise says, "Go ahead Elendr... perhaps we'll finally get some notion of who, or what, we are up against."

Tierus exclaims, "Ye're about as potent as a soggy tart!"

Grimfandel's face turns slightly pale.

Roelon squints.

Tierus sneers at you.

Grimfandel says, "Now there was no need to bring soggy tarts into it....."

You say, "and apparently you ate a piece that disagreed with your delicate system milord"

Grimfandel stares at Tierus.

You gasp.

Roelon snorts.

Blizzerdd says, "No that was me."

You exclaim, "It knows!"

Blizzerdd blushes a glowing shade of red.

You exclaim, "tierus!"

Ilvane laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Tierus exclaims, "Tha only thing tha's disagreein' wif me system is ye, Halfling!"

You exclaim, "About the poison!"

You exclaim, "It knows!"

Tierus shudders.

You clasp a hand over your mouth.

Roelon glances at you.

Tierus coughs.

Ilvane asks, "Poisoned cheese?"

Arimantis removes a sugary sweet butter cookie from in his spidersilk vestment.

Ilvane looks lost in thought.

(Tierus coughs weakly, his entire face paling.)

Grimfandel looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Roelon glances at Tierus.

Roelon leans forward.

Arimantis asks, "Want a cookie Spunky?"

(Iscikella taps the side of her head.)

You exclaim, "Get out!"

Ilvane rubs you gently.

Roelon says, "Ye will hae to hit much harder then that."

Roelon nods to you.

Angelrise chuckles.

Ilvane says, "Poor Iscikella."

Ilvane sighs.

Arimantis says, "Fine.. din really wanna share with ya anywho"

Angelrise leans back.

(Elendr paces back and forth, occasionally dissapearing into the shadows at one side of the room and reappearing on the other.)

Arimantis hugs you.

Ilvane says, "Leave her alone, foolish beast."

Ilvane smirks.

Roelon asks, "And what about us that hae to hear such things?"

Roelon begins chuckling at Ilvane.

Grimfandel removes a strawberry tart from in his tart satchel.

Arimantis takes a bite of his sweet butter cookie.

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Grimfandel hums distractedly to himself.

Tierus exclaims, "Lissen 'ere, halfling." He coughs again, but this time the weak sound rises into a snarl. "Soon, verrah soon, tha forces o' 'Mule are goin' tae descend upon yer little locked crypt. An' whin we do, ah'm goin' tae watch ye burn. E'er bit o' ye- essence, bones, dust. An' ah will share in Thurfel's triumph on tha' day!"

Tierus glares at you.

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

You say, "and yet again quick with the comeback. Ye should try insulting something more your mental acuity milord Loo. I hear the turnips need a good tongue lashing this time of year"

You hear the voice of Elendr exclaim, "Tierus.... this is your last warning. Shut.... UP!"

Angelrise smirks.

Cezzane snickers.

Grimfandel stares at the tart in his hand.

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Roelon asks, "What will ye do, Elendr?"

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

(Tierus begins trembling, his entire body aquiver with rage.)

Grimfandel licks a strawberry tart.

Tierus begins to twitch.

Roelon moves to stand behind Tierus.

You say, "Elendr, I think ye will antagonize it worse."

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Tierus begins to twitch.

Blizzerdd put a leather whip in his raw white silk robe.

Angelrise says, "Ye should really just incapacitate them both Elendr.. no need to play favors."

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Angelrise snickers.

Grimfandel takes a bite of his strawberry tart.

Grimfandel removes a strawberry tart from in his ankle sheath.

You glance at Angelrise.

Grimfandel offers Angelrise a strawberry tart.

Grimfandel says, "Hush you"

(Tierus begins to convulse, his limbs jerking apparently of their own volition.)

Grimfandel says, "eat dis"

Angelrise flashes a wide grin.

Angelrise accepts Grimfandel's strawberry tart.

Ilvane glances at Tierus.

Angelrise says, "thankyou.."

Grimfandel grins.

Roelon glances at Tierus.

You hear the voice of Elendr say, "Iscikella can't help it, for that i'm giving her longer than I'm giving the idiot who keeps it talking."

Angelrise nods to Grimfandel.

Roelon shakes his head.

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

Roelon asks, "Must ah?"

Grimfandel winks at Angelrise.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

Grimfandel says, "Welcomes"

Angelrise asks, "Ah, at last.. Terror?"

(Tierus closes his eyes. His twitching fits subside almost immediately.)

(Roelon slaps Tierus firmly across the face.)

Angelrise peers quizzically at Tierus.

Roelon exclaims, "Calm yirself!"

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

You blink at Roelon.

You say, "Everyone run for the hills - he's about to blow! And I expect it'll reek to high heaven"

Tierus smiles slightly, bringing up a hand to touch his face.

You hear a menacing snarl nearby!

Angelrise smirks.

Ilvane coughs.

Tierus cocks his head.

You clasp a hand over your mouth.

(Roelon glances down at his hand.)

Roelon says, "Hmm."

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

Tierus says, "And what is this thing? I smell death speaking through you, Empath."

Roelon glances at Tierus.

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

Tierus strides over to stand before you.

Roelon says, "Too late..."

Roelon grumbles.

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

You stare at Tierus.

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Cezzane says, "I could just kill everyone here"

Cezzane nods.

Cezzane says, "That would work too"

Grimfandel nods to Cezzane.

Tierus says, "How very refreshing. The commingled scents of death and life..."

Roelon nods to Cezzane.

Ilvane asks, "But why?"

Blizzerdd nods to Cezzane.

Ilvane grins at Cezzane.

Grimfandel asks, "Kin yeh gimme a tart first tho?"

You say, "That would be the lack of your once per decade bath you imbecilic Witlass wannabe"

Cezzane says, "Hmm I dont know, was just an idea"

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Cezzane chuckles.

Grimfandel says, "I dun't wanna die tartless"

You hear the voice of Elendr say, "Stop making senseless threats mage, and do it."

You blink.

Blizzerdd blinks.

Angelrise says, "Good Evening, Terror."

Angelrise grins wryly.

Blizzerdd says, "Witlass"

Angelrise takes a bite of her strawberry tart.

Ilvane blinks at you.

You ask, "It knows who Grawg is?"

Tierus says, "Good evening, sweet sister beneath Sheru."

Cezzane asks, "Eh?"

Roelon tosses back the edges of his hooded cloak and frees himself for action!

Tierus says, "I like this creature that has taken up residence within the Empath."

Tierus says, "It has... spunk."

Angelrise says, "I've been.. expecting your arrival for some time..."

You glance at Tierus.

Angelrise smiles at Tierus.

Tierus cocks his head at you.

Tierus says, "It is not very knowledgeable, it seems."

You hear the voice of Elendr ask, "Is this some new creature speaking through Tierus' form?"

You hear the voice of Roelon say, "This grows tiresome. Essence or whaever ye wish to be called, quiet yirself."

(Iscikella leans back against Blizzerdd.)

Tierus asks, "New?"

Tierus laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

You say, "Right now it is... amused."

Tierus says, "Hardly, shadow-walker."

Grimfandel says, "Not new just terror speakin out"

Blizzerdd just tickled you.

You say, "But..."

Angelrise asks, "You've ne'er met Terror Elendr?"

You say, "I'm not sure how long it will stay amused."

You shiver.

Tierus says, "My name is Terror. I am the truth behind the illusion that is Tierus."

You say, "It's very... attached in at the moment."

You hear the voice of Elendr say, "Terror? No, I have not. Though if he stops badgering the councilman, I might let it keep it's hands a while longer."

Angelrise says, "Tierus is just his daft, blubbering, host."

You say, "I can't even feel it using my body."

Roelon says, "Yir nothing but a foul smelling creature. "

Roelon nods to Tierus.

Roelon says, "But far better then whats in that her."

Ilvane rubs you gently.

Roelon points at you.

Ilvane hugs you.

You say, "how true Lord Rowyerboat. Methinks I'll try something with more sport. Lord Loo isn't a match for a wet piece of parchment on a windy day"

Roelon says, "Hm. Ah donnae know what to call ye."

Ilvane chortles softly at some secret joke.

Blizzerdd glances at you and yawns.

Angelrise gazes heavenward.

Roelon grins at you.

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Cezzane snickers.

You say, "Well, Roelon, seems it has a pet name for ye."

Arimantis mutters rowyerboat.

You blink.

Arimantis appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Arimantis coughs.

You hear someone weeping softly nearby.

Tierus says, "You are truly a humorous creature, Death-born."

Tierus nods to you.

Roelon grumbles.

Grimfandel says, "Wonder when we get all the nicknames handed out"

Ilvane giggles.

Arimantis chuckles.

(Iscikella leans her forehead momentarily on Blizzerdd's shoulder.)

Angelrise says, "I wonder if this entity would consider giving us some constructive answers..."

Tierus asks, "What of the vaunted powers of these 'possessors' that everyone invokes?"

Grimfandel says, "Hope it's soon"

Ilvane says, "I'm glad I don't have a nickname."

Angelrise paces back and forth.

Ilvane gazes heavenward.

Grimfandel grins at Ilvane.

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane on the nose.

Grimfandel asks, "Niceeyes?"

Arimantis says, "You do have one"

Arimantis winks at Ilvane.

You say, "Ye could try, Angelrise."

Roelon removes a slim dark sinuous blade from in his weapons harness.

Roelon glances at you.

Roelon says, "Ah am very tempted..."

You say, "But it seems rather... cranky."

Tierus says, "I do not see you calling forth mists to choke off the air of pious and pathetic."

Roelon glances at a slim dark sinuous blade.

Tierus cocks his head.

Angelrise says, "For one, I'd be curious as to its name..."

You say, "Oh, Lord Loo has let loose with the ultimate Insult. I'm mortally wounded. He can't fight with his mouth, so he resorts to calling me out - so be it..."

Grimfandel raises an eyebrow.

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Angelrise squints.

Roelon glances at Tierus.

Arimantis glances at you.

You say, "Uh-oh..."

Blizzerdd says, "It doesn't know anything, it was the nine's chamber pot cleaner."

Roelon says, "Terror. What did ye do now..."

A bolt of lightning streaks down from the sky and strikes Tierus!
... 50 points of damage!
Horrifying electrical shock converts head into blood-stained glass. Death is a step up.
* Tierus drops dead at your feet!

A tremendous crack of thunder follows instantly!

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

The ghostly laughter of Tierus echoes through the room, sending a shiver down your spine.

Ilvane grumbles.

Arimantis stares off into space.

Roelon glances at you.

Angelrise gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Angelrise gestures at Tierus.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Tierus, then fades into the body.

Cezzane says, "well"

You exclaim, "I knew it!"

Roelon spins about looking mighty stirred up!

You flail your arms about.

You take a quick appraisal of Tierus and find that he has severe head trauma and bleeding from the ears.
He has old battle scars on his left arm.
He is also quite dead.

Ilvane says, "He did warn you."

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus exclaim, "A beast of lightning!"

You say, "I knew it."

Cezzane says, "That wasnt much of a match"

Angelrise asks, "well Terror.. see what your blasted host has caused you?"

Cezzane stares off into space.

You meditate over Tierus.
Tierus's head damage is transferred to you.

You concentrate on the Head Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

Angelrise says, "You should truly find a more suitable one.. really."

Angelrise nods to Tierus.

You wring your hands.

You hear the voice of Elendr say, "Maybe now he'll stop badgering it."

You hear someone grumbling.

You say, "I just knew it would do it."

You concentrate on the Head Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

You concentrate on the Head Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus say, "Do not fret. Tierus will be most displeased."

Roelon begins to twitch.

Roelon put a slim dark sinuous blade in his weapons harness.

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus say, "But that gives me pleasure enough indeed."

Ilvane glances at you.

You say, "And it's angry now..."

Blizzerdd asks, "Did it hurt at least?"

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Blizzerdd peers quizzically at Tierus.

Cezzane says, "Hmm"

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus say, "There was a momentary pain... ecstacy and agony jumbled together."

Inexplicably, Grimfandel flings himself at a black altar.

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus say, "And I felt Tierus scream from deep within."

Arimantis says, "Im gettin angry too... bout time we was even.."

Blizzerdd rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Arimantis smirks.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

Blizzerdd says, "Well thats good at least"

Angelrise says something in guild speak.

Grimfandel stares off into space.

Arimantis gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Arimantis gestures at Tierus.
A silvery translucent thread extends from Arimantis encompassing Tierus's corpse.

Blizzerdd says, "I am partial to fire myself."

Roelon says, "At last the bickering stopped."

Blizzerdd snickers.

You glance at Blizzerdd.

Cezzane says, "Guess its gone now"

Angelrise glances at Blizzerdd.

(Elendr drops his to his knees, laying the dagger in front of him. He places his hands on his legs and stares at Iscikella, his features contorted into a mask of fear and sadness.)

Cezzane stares off into space.

Angelrise groans.

Elendr kneels down.

Arimantis put a sugary sweet butter cookie in his spidersilk vestment.

Grimfandel asks, "E'er tried boilin liquids?"

Arimantis begins a careful examination of Tierus -- he takes his pulse, checks his temperature, and checks for broken bones or any other ailments.

Grimfandel leans on Blizzerdd.

Roelon says, "Now we are left with that thing in Iscik."

Angelrise says, "well.. so much for my constructive answers."

Angelrise paces back and forth.

Roelon glances at Elendr.

Blizzerdd nods to Grimfandel.

You say, "One would think that Lord Loo had more smarts. Apparently he has the brains of a scrambled gak. I tire of dropping rocks on slugs. I bid you a good day milady Ilvane - please rethink my offer of getting rid of this oaf husband of mine"

Grimfandel asks, "fires better tho?"

Angelrise flashes a wide grin.

Arimantis says, "Up ya come.. try ta sit quiet now.."

Arimantis stares off into space.

Ilvane gazes heavenward.

Roelon starts chortling.

You mutter something inaudible.

Arimantis glances at you.

Blizzerdd scoffs.

Blizzerdd holds his sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh.

Angelrise chuckles.

Cezzane chuckles.

Arimantis says, "Keep away from here.. Spunky"

You ask, "Halfling what does my husband have to do with ye?"

You mutter something inaudible.

Roelon says, "Begone lingering stench."

Roelon waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.

You hear the ghostly voice of Tierus ask, "Brains of a scrambled gak. Did Tierus really present himself so well to you, Owner of Iscikella?"

Elendr tightens his grip on his cross-hilted dagger.

Blizzerdd says, "Good nite lord Loo's killer"

Angelrise asks, "Arimantis... your wife is being tempted away from you.. shouldn't you do something about it?"

Blizzerdd chuckles.

Angelrise peers quizzically at Arimantis.

Angelrise laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Ilvane frowns at Angelrise.

Ilvane asks, "Who says I am tempted?"

Arimantis glances at Angelrise.

Roelon gives Tierus a little prod between the shoulder blades.

Roelon shakes his head.

Blizzerdd says, "err spunkey"

Ilvane rolls her eyes.

Angelrise says, "Sarcasm.. of course."

Angelrise nods to Ilvane.

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane.

You say, "I think the essence is confused."

Cezzane says, "well that was...intersting"

Elendr sits up.

Cezzane nods.

Roelon says, "Ah hope ye never become like this."

Arimantis says, "Ilvane knows I won let anythin happen to her"

Roelon nods to Elendr.

Elendr hugs his knees and sways side to side.

Blizzerdd mutters drunk.

Angelrise says, "althought.. this essense is ever so charming.. I'm not certain how you could possibly resist.."

Blizzerdd nods to you.

Angelrise starts chortling.

Elendr says, "When I do, I hope you take me out first chance you get."

Arimantis gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Arimantis gestures at Tierus.
Arimantis suddenly looks very drained.
A bolt of soft white light streaks down from the sky bathing Tierus in it.
A brilliant glow forms around Tierus, lingers for a moment, and finally fades. Tierus awakens looking somewhat confused and seriously drained.

Ilvane says, "I don't need power from them, I feel comfortable enough with Ronan."

Ilvane nods.

Elendr hangs his head.

Lord Cezzane just went southwest.

Roelon gestures at Tierus.
The glazed look leaves Tierus.

Ilvane asks, "Are you better now?"

Roelon gestures at Arimantis.
The glazed look leaves Arimantis.

Tierus says, "It thought me to be this 'Lord Loo,' then? Tierus truly must have presented his best side, to have received such a given name."

Ilvane smiles at you.

Tierus nods to you.

Ilvane blinks.

Tierus begins to twitch.

Ilvane picks up a red rose.

Angelrise nods to Tierus.

Arimantis glances at Ilvane.

You say, "I didn't feel anything at all."

Roelon glances at Ilvane.

Ilvane says, "Iscikella."

You say, "So can't say better or not."

(Tierus clenches his hands together. Of a sudden, a jolt runs through him.)

Tierus closes his eyes for a moment.

Tierus groans.

Roelon says, "A present... how sweet."

Roelon starts chortling.

Arimantis says, "Hmm.. sweetheart.. why don ya leave that there.."

Tierus says, "Ow. Tha' hurt."

Roelon glances at Tierus.

Roelon says, "Ah am sorry about the mark on yir cheek."

Roelon nods to Tierus.

Ilvane indicates her red rose with a smile.

Tierus nods to Roelon.

Elendr asks, "Iscikella? Why did this one continue the masquerade throughout? Don't they usually present themselves as themselves and not as their host?"

Tierus groans.

Ilvane blinks at you.

Roelon says, "Ah was tryin' to stop yir other half."

Tierus asks, "Wha'd 'e do this time?"

You look at Elendr and shake your head.

Arimantis squints at Ilvane.

Tierus peers quizzically at Roelon.

You say, "Depends."

Tierus says, "Feels like 'e jus' 'ad me soul fer supper."

Ilvane blinks at Arimantis.

Roelon starts chortling.

Elendr glances at Tierus.

Roelon says, "Ye became the cat.."

Angelrise gazes heavenward.

Tierus glances over at you and winces.

Roelon nods to Tierus.

Angelrise squints.

Roelon says, "And had lightnin' strike ye."

Blizzerdd just gave you a smooch.

Angelrise rolls her eyes.

Angelrise says, "Oh Gods.. not him again."

Angelrise waves a hand at Tierus, dismissing him indifferently.

Tierus says, "Ah'm sorry fer allowin' Terror free reign, M'lady."

Blizzerdd staggers a moment, then a sheet of blackness covers him, as he vanishes.

Arimantis says, "Sweetie.. why don we leave that flower here.."

Ilvane babbles something unintelligible.

Tierus nods to you.

Elendr blinks.

Tierus turns to face Blizzerdd.

You exclaim, "Blizzerdd!"

Blizzerdd chuckles.

Blizzerdd just disappeared.

Tierus asks, "Whair'd 'e go?"

Roelon grumbles.

You concentrate on the Locate Person spell...
You gesture into the air.
Some unseen force is preventing you from doing that.

Tierus gestures and utters a phrase of magic.
Tierus gestures.
After a moment's silence an arctic fox pads into the room and glances up at Tierus intelligently.

Angelrise blinks.

You exclaim, "Oh gad!"

[Thurfel's Island]
Grossly misshapen crabs scramble along the rocks of this shoreline, scattering at even the slightest disturbance. Moving far too fast to catch, the shelled critters have numerous cracks and crevices to hide in. A jagged purple growth of coral seems to be the favored spot to hide for the speedy crustaceans. You also see a glittering crystal crab, a brilliant red crocodile, a heavy quartz orb, a piece of cat's eye quartz, a snowflake zircon, a violet spinel, a bright chrysoberyl gem, a faceted crystal crab shell and a faceted crystal crab shell.

[Hall of the Gods, Main Chapel]
The Temple has been carved from the ice of the glacier. A vaulted ceiling rises above you, carved with faint designs, and thick pillars etched with the symbols of the gods rise to meet the dome. The walls glimmer with light from the sun, adding divine ambiance to an already spectacular chamber. To the northwest is a passage, seemingly brighter than the rest, while the tunnel to the southeast looks darker than you would think possible in the well-lit Temple.

Arimantis squints at Roelon.

Ilvane says, "You are disgusting."

Roelon glances at Arimantis.

Arimantis says, "Watch it.."

Ilvane places her arms akimbo and looks about as if waiting for something.

Roelon moves to stand behind Elendr.

Kadesha gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Elendr hangs his head.

Arimantis says, "An.. nows.. I gots somethin ta hang over yer head an keep ya in line"

Arimantis grins at Roelon.

You exclaim, "Jackal, ye know why ye would gloat, dammit!"

Setzier whispers, "Something wrong, Sylvan? Too much soot obscuring the truth?"

You exclaim, "Yes, the essence in me killed Tierus!"

Roelon grumbles.

Blizzerdd says, "Setzier..."

Setzier whispers, "Are you sure it was the essence, and not you? You're losing control, Sylvan."

You nod to Blizzerdd.

Arimantis moves to stand in front of Ilvane.

Arimantis grumbles.

You say, "it was the damnable essence."

Roelon squints.

Arimantis turns to face Ilvane.

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane on the nose.

(Delondil goes about the business of collecting scrolls on the matter, muttering to himself the whole time.)

Blizzerdd says, "I thought it was yer stench I smelt"

Elendr blinks.

Roelon glances at Elendr.

Arimantis says, "Pretty hard ta miss"

Arimantis nods to Blizzerdd.

(Elendr glances about the chapel, his eyes glossy and remote.)

The arctic wolf sniffs at Kadesha.

(Roelon covers Elendr's ears.)

Roelon squints.

Roelon grumbles.

Kadesha leans back.

The arctic wolf begins to pant.

Roelon glances at Elendr.

Setzier whispers, "Then why do you tremble with rage within? Why are your hands covered with soot?"

Roelon nods to Elendr.

(Roelon removes his hands slowly.)

Blizzerdd leans to his right slightly.

(Elendr looks at Roelon a long time without any recognition, then nods solemnly.)

You say, "I tremble with rage cause it also used my body to flirt as I would never flirt, with one of the same sex."

(Delondil remains rather dazed by the whole affair.)

Roelon sniffs at Delondil.

You say, "So, yes, jackal, I am trembling with rage."

Delondil blinks at you.

Roelon says, "Ye smell a bit well done."

Roelon nods to Delondil.

Delondil says, "It be me leathers."

Blizzerdd nods to Delondil.

Kadesha looks rather confused.

Blizzerdd asks, "Ya need something to replace yer deed?"

Setzier whispers, "Tsk, tsk, Sylvan. Such hidden emotion and rage, maybe it wasn't the essence but yourself in guise as the essence?"

Blizzerdd peers quizzically at Delondil.

Arimantis fidgets.

Roelon says, "Evenin' jackal. Ah could nae place that scent of an unbathed animal in till now."

Delondil says, "I'll be smelling like a Roasted Rat fer the next moon."

Ilvane snuggles up to Arimantis.

Blizzerdd begins chuckling at Delondil.

You concentrate on the Organ Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your chest feels better.

Delondil says, "I've a blade reserved fer the miserable cuss that be behind it too."

Elendr gazes in wonder at his surroundings.

You say, "Well, isn't exactly a person."

You look at Delondil and shake your head.

Blizzerdd says, "Is more of a spirit"

Delondil says, "A spirit eh?"

Blizzerdd says, "Intangable yet it enjoys its petty pleasures"

Blizzerdd rolls his eyes.

You concentrate on the Limb Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your right arm feels better.

The arctic wolf sniffs the ground.

Elendr cocks his head at Blizzerdd.

Blizzerdd nods to Delondil.

Roelon says, "Spirits..."

Roelon glances at Delondil.

You say, "Jackal, right now the emotion isn't hidden."

Roelon says, "More then one...."

Roelon grumbles.

Delondil says, "Ye must be jesting."

You say, "I am angry enough at that thing to spit fire myself."

Blizzerdd looks over at Delondil and shakes his head.

Roelon says, "Ah should hope ye nae do so towards us."

Roelon nods to you.

Blizzerdd says, "Actually there are eight spirits and once halfling"

Setzier whispers, "Go on, fill yourself with rage. You only make it stronger."

You say, "Nine love."

Delondil asks, "One be named Thurfel, I wager?"

You say, "Nine entombed."

The arctic wolf begins to pant.

Blizzerdd says, "The halfling is Thurfel the Just"

Delondil says, "As they should be, By Voln."

Blizzerdd clasps his hand over his mouth.

Blizzerdd says, "What the.."

You blink at Blizzerdd.

Arimantis rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Roelon glances at Blizzerdd.

Roelon starts chortling.

Elendr blinks at Blizzerdd.

Delondil squints at Blizzerdd.

You ask, "Love, ye feel allright?"

Blizzerdd nods to you.

(Iscikella places a hand on Blizzerdd's forehead.)

Ilvane glances at something inside a star-clasped black silk cloak.

You frown.

Blizzerdd says, "Yea I just playing with ya all"

Blizzerdd snickers.

Ilvane frowns.

You say, "No fever."

Arimantis glances at Ilvane.

Arimantis grumbles.

You hear someone snicker.

Ilvane says, "I don't feel well.."

A pained expression crosses Ilvane's face.

Ilvane sits down.

Arimantis asks, "Sweetheart?"

You cock your head at Ilvane.

Roelon glances at Ilvane.

Blizzerdd says, "Well I got a snicker out of Setzier at least"

You ask, "How unwell?"

Elendr gazes heavenward.

Arimantis kneels down.

Roelon says, "This cannae be good..."

Barracuda frowns.

You ask, "Like poison?"

Ilvane says, "Oh hush Setzier."

Blizzerdd says, "So it does speak"

Kadesha peers quizzically at Ilvane.

Arimantis asks, "What is wrong sweetheart?"

Ilvane says, "Just warm.."

Ilvane sighs.

Blizzerdd says, "I thought it was mute."

Roelon says, "Ye should have never touched that rose."

Roelon looks over at Ilvane and shakes his head.

Setzier whispers, "Perhaps the rose was poisoned, the thorns tipped with a small... substance."

The arctic wolf sniffs the ground.

Arimantis sighs.

You exclaim, "Hush, jackal!"

You hear someone laughing softly nearby.

Ilvane glances at Blizzerdd.

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane on the forehead.

(Iscikella glances into the shadows.)

Delondil raises an eyebrow in Blizzerdd's direction.

Ilvane asks, "Are you speaking to me?"

Ilvane cocks her head at Blizzerdd.

Setzier whispers, "You know I'm right."

Blizzerdd says, "No Setzier"

Setzier whispers, "I hear your inner thoughts, Sylvan."

Blizzerdd points up.

Ilvane nods.

You say, "Oh he is talking a good bit."

Blizzerdd says, "Or wherever it is"

Arimantis says, "Im not gonna let it near you sweetheart.. no matter what"

Delondil says, "Mighty Halflings. Hrmph. Imagine that."

Elendr sits down.

Roelon grins.

Blizzerdd nods to Delondil.

Ilvane says, "My goodnes.."

Ilvane fans herself.

You cock your head at Ilvane.

Roelon glances at Ilvane.

You ask, "That warm?"

Arimantis asks, "Sweetie?"

Ilvane nods to you.

You remove an elegant lace fan from in your spidersilk skirt.

(Elendr rocks back and forth, his head on his knees as he stares at nothing in particular.)

Roelon says, "Perhaps she needs a cold drink..."

You offer your elegant lace fan to Ilvane, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer. Type CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.

Arimantis asks, "Should we step outside?"

Ilvane has accepted your offer and is now holding an elegant lace fan.

You say, "Try that."

Ilvane waves her elegant lace fan in front of her face with a gentle fluttering motion.

Setzier whispers, "A fast acting poison, no less..."

Ilvane says, "A little better."

Ilvane accepts Arimantis's smastanberry juice.

Delondil says, "Eh, well. I've seen a Dwarf female hundreds of years old in a skimpy Corset and Skirt. Ye'd think I were done bein' shocked by things like this."

Arimantis put a large sack in his spidersilk backpack.

Blizzerdd begins chuckling at Delondil.

Ilvane takes a drink from her smastanberry juice.
Ilvane takes a drink from her smastanberry juice.

Kadesha gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Blizzerdd says, "And yer not blind either"

Arimantis rubs Ilvane gently.

Blizzerdd chuckles.

Ilvane waves her elegant lace fan in front of her face with a gentle fluttering motion.

Kadesha begins to twitch.

Arimantis asks, "That any better sweetie?"

Roelon furrows his brow.

Delondil says, "Nay, though at times I wonder of the merits of vision."

Ilvane says, "A little, yes."

Haxley just arrived.

Blizzerdd says, "I gonna go see the keep fer a sec."

Ilvane stands up.

Blizzerdd just went out.

Arimantis asks, "You wanna go outside?"

Arimantis stands up.

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "Damn hard to sneak in when you're all waiting for me by the door."

Haxley sighs.

Roelon says, "Yir hot..yet nae a drop of sweat..."

Roelon ponders.

Haxley grumbles.

You say, "Probably better in here, Arimantis."

You say, "Being the temple."

(Ilvane scowls into the shadows)

Setzier whispers, "Poor Ilvane..."

Haxley leans on Ilvane.

Ilvane exclaims, "Be quiet!"

Haxley blinks.

You say, "Doesn't have anything to do with me, jackal."

Ilvane says, "No, not you, Haxley."

Arimantis says, "Leave her alone Setzier"

Ilvane giggles.

Arimantis grumbles.

Haxley grins at Ilvane.

Haxley glances at Arimantis.

You concentrate on the Limb Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your left arm feels better.

You concentrate on the Limb Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your right leg feels better.

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

Roelon shakes his head.

Haxley says, "Definitely going to sit back and shut up now..."

You say, "There has been... fireworks, Haxley."

Elendr hugs his knees and sways side to side.

You hear someone laughing softly nearby.

You cock your head at Ilvane.

Ilvane asks, "You don't think that was poisoned, was it?"

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "To put it mildly, from what I've heard."

You nod to Ilvane.

Ilvane glances at something inside a star-clasped black silk cloak.

You say, "Actually, I do think."

Arimantis glances at you.

You hear the voice of Haxley ask, "Poison?"

Arimantis says, "No.. it wasn't.."

Ilvane waves her elegant lace fan in front of her face with a gentle fluttering motion.

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your head feels better.

Roelon glances at Ilvane.

Delondil says, "Well. Spirits or not. Someone burned me britches."

Roelon shakes his head.

Arimantis says, "The essence din wanna hurt her.. much as I don like that idea.."

Arimantis shifts his weight.

You ask, "How do ye know that, Arimantis?"

You cock your head at Arimantis.

Arimantis scratches his head.

You ask, "Because it was rudely flirting?"

You ask, "What does that prove?"

Ilvane says, "It didn't seem as if it was going to hurt me.."

Ilvane says, "But.."

Kadesha asks, "dat it been locked in tomb too long?"

Setzier whispers, "Try and think harder, Sylvan... you're losing your touch."

Kadesha stares off into space.

Ilvane says, "I don't know, it's not as if I trust it."

Arimantis sighs.

(Delondil has a feeling he shouldn't question the issue of flirting too much, doubting he'll like the answers.)

You ask, "Wait, ye will believe the essence?"

You ask, "And yet ye question me for believing Thurfel?"

Ilvane shakes her head.

You hear someone laughing softly nearby.

You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.

You say, "Amusing."

Ilvane says, "I didn't say that."

Kadesha says, "must be a male essence to have such on its mind for so many years"

Kadesha begins to twitch.

Ilvane says, "I said I didn't trust it."

You say, "Well, it is sick."

Ilvane nods to you.

Arimantis nods to you.

You say, "Using my body like that."

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "Maybe an Ivas follower..."

You hear someone snicker.

You say, "Sick."

Ilvane says, "I think it is a male, it has to be."

Arimantis says, "Ya know... once I kin get my hands on it.."

Arimantis begins to twitch.

Ilvane says, "I would hope anyway."

Ilvane smirks.

You ask, "Why would a male essence talk about my husband?"

Roelon says, "Ah wish ye all... a better night.."

Holding the edge of his hooded cloak, Roelon bows deeply with a flourish.

Ilvane says, "I don't like those things coming out of your mouth."

Ilvane frowns at you.

Ilvane just hugged Roelon.

Roelon says, "That thing in ye gave me a nice headache.."

You hear the voice of Haxley ask, "To make those around you think that you were actually talking?"

Roelon glances at you.

Roelon says, "But ah ..know it was nae yir fault."

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "Granted, one would have to be totally naive to believe that."

You hear someone chuckling.

Roelon just hugged Ilvane.

Roelon pokes Ilvane in the ribs.

Ilvane frowns.

Roelon says, "No givin' up."

Delondil scratches his chin.

You glance at Roelon.

Ilvane says, "Not at all."

You concentrate on the Head Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your neck feels better.

Ilvane offers you an elegant lace fan. Enter ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it. The offer will expire in 30 seconds.

Elendr sighs quietly.

Ilvane says, "Seems the warmth passed, anyway."

Roelon glances at Elendr.

Roelon bows.

Setzier whispers, "All this talk, you surely will make the poison's course much easier making her move." The voice chuckles quietly for a moment, "Such a waste of good flesh."

Elendr blinks at Roelon.

You hear the voice of Haxley ask, "Warmth?"

Arimantis smiles at Ilvane.

Roelon says, "Same goes fer ye..."

Roelon gives Elendr a little prod between the shoulder blades.

You say, "I am too injured. Can ye drop please, Ilvane."

You sigh.

Elendr furrows his brow.

Offer declined.

Delondil asks, "Erm, I shall wager, all ye folk are somehow .. affiliated.. with this matter of spirits, council, and all-powerful halflings?"

Ilvane says, "Maybe it's just extra warm in the temple halls."

You concentrate on the System Scar Repair spell...
You concentrate.
Your nervous system feels better.

Ilvane drops an elegant lace fan.

Lord Roelon just went out.

Delondil rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Ilvane looks over at Delondil and shakes her head.

You hear the voice of Haxley say, "No reason it should be...the door's right over there."

You ask, "Affiliated?"

Kadesha says, "gee nothin ever flirts with me, not even evil essences"

Blizzerdd just arrived.

Arimantis paces back and forth.

You pick up an elegant lace fan.

(Elendr merely looks after Roelon sadly, then puts his head back on his knees and continues to rock gently.)

Ilvane begins chuckling at Kadesha.

Arimantis just hugged Kadesha.

You put an elegant lace fan in your spidersilk skirt.

Kadesha sniffs.

Delondil says, "Aye."

You say, "We have sort of been caught up in things, more like."
