************END NOTE************
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
A narrow house juts into the street, as though pushed off its foundation by the expanding gaming hall to the southwest. You step carefully along the cobblestones and try not to glance into the open window at street level. You also see a squalid canvas pavilion.
Also here: Lord Ianeal, Adrenath, Emissary Urgrak
Obvious paths: north, south
You say, "Are you checking the route for yer people?"
You cock your head at Urgrak.
Urgrak peers quizzically at you.
Urgrak blinks at you.
Emissary Urgrak just went south.
Adrenath says, "Hm."
Ianeal says, "Let's see..."
Your cheeks flush a deep shade of dark rose.
You say, "I cannot speak his language."
Ianeal says, "South gate."
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
Several groups of adventurers jostle past you on their way through the South Gate. The sounds of laughter from the west remind you of the inns and taverns back home. You notice that the lowest part of the wall is darker stone than the top, a sign that this fortification was raised at some point in the past. You also see a penguin, the Thorinion disk, an old beer barrel and a shabby hovel.
Also here: Josslyn, Ghrom, Lord Adrenath, Thorinion, Kadesha, Emissary Urgrak
Obvious paths: north, east, west
Ianeal followed.
Josslyn blinks.
Louaryne just arrived.
You bite your lip.
Ghrom asks, "what path yer folks wanna take Urgrak?"
Ianeal asks, "Og r'uor?"
Ianeal cocks his head at Urgrak.
You ask, "Is he checking the way for the others?"
You cock your head.
Ghrom says, "not sure"
Adrenath rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Adrenath says, "I'd assume so."
You nod to Adrenath.
You say, "That's what struck me."
Urgrak growls, "Noor's"
Emissary Urgrak just went north.
***Here Urgrak moved between the South Gate and the East and West Gates in several different paths, apparently checking the route, while we all trailed after him***
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
The hoarse voices from the west are hard to understand. Either they are happy cries or anguished moans, or perhaps both. A group of enterprising youths approach you and ask for silvers, but continue along the road without pausing for your response.
Also here: Emissary Urgrak, Alleatha
Obvious paths: north, south, east, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Emissary Urgrak just went north.
You say, "He must be."
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
A silvery sheen from something up north catches your eye over the heads of the crowds. No matter the time of day or night, this stretch of road always seems busy. A young halfling girl, dressed in the livery of the Silvermule Gaming Hall, rushes past you to deliver a message.
Also here: Thorinion, Lord Adrenath, Emissary Urgrak
Obvious paths: north, south, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Ianeal says, "I asked if they are going, he said soon."
Emissary Urgrak just went north.
[Icemule Trace, West Road]
Groups of boisterous and cheerful halflings pass by rapidly. Most of them seem to be heading south towards the Tavern Burrow for entertainment or refreshment. An old, drunken halfling sits in a doorway, alternating between singing at the top of his lungs and munching on a tart. You also see a penguin, a forlorn abbess and a painted wagon.
Also here: Lord Adrenath, Emissary Urgrak
Obvious paths: south, east, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
You say, "He does seem to be checking the path."
Emissary Urgrak just went west.
[Icemule Trace, West Road]
On the north side of the cobblestone road everything seems quiet, almost too quiet. To the south, you can hear the rowdy shouts of people in the taverns and the gaming hall. You also see a penguin and an ice troll scalp.
Also here: Lord Adrenath, Thorinion, Emissary Urgrak
Obvious paths: east, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Urgrak just touched an ice troll scalp.
Urgrak snarls menacingly!
Adrenath clears his throat.
Adrenath glances at an ice troll scalp.
You glance at an ice troll scalp.
Thorinion coughs.
You fidget.
Ghrom's group just arrived.
Adrenath says, "Ooooh boy.."
Ianeal gazes up into the heavens.
Urgrak raises his ice-covered battle axe in triumph!
You think to yourself, "Trouble."
Ghrom grins.
You bite your lip.
You whisper quietly to Ianeal, "I don't think this is a good thing."
Ghrom peers quizzically at Urgrak.
Louaryne shifts her weight.
Urgrak growls, "Lardrabr og lurlurirr'w tri, sright fo 'romri r'sri 'r'ght fir."
Ghrom removes a basket hilted ruby-inset backsword from in his dark leather harness.
(Noonee gazes warily at Urgrak.)
Josslyn asks, "Pardon me?"
You ask, "What did he say, love?"
Adrenath glances at something inside a ruby inlaid golden scabbard.
Ghrom asks, "anyone speak troll here?"
You reach over and gently rest your hand on Ianeal's arm.
You point at Ianeal.
You say, "Well, he can translate it."
Ghrom smiles.
Ghrom asks, "wha' 'e say?"
An ice troll just arrived.
Notta shifts his weight.
You hear the faint thoughts of Calean echo in your mind:
"Ice troll in town"
You cock your head at Ianeal.
Notta takes a bite of his burakis sandwich.
Josslyn turns an inquisitive ear towards Urgrak.
Josslyn pets Ianeal's penguin.
Amberisse blinks.
You hear the faint thoughts of Roelaren echo in your mind:
"where"
Ianeal says, "If that is -somthing-, it will go badly."
Amberisse glances at an ice troll.
Urgrak glances at an ice troll.
Amberisse says, "errr....hello"
Adrenath frowns.

Sorshya frowns.
Urgrak growls, "Mr'ght krarttar ton od."

Amberisse asks, "you lost?"
Ghrom asks, "if what's a sign?"
Amberisse cocks her head at Urgrak.
Adrenath frowns.
Ghrom says, "no, 'e ain' lost"
You say, "The scalp, unfortunately."
Amberisse asks, "don't what?"
Adrenath moves into a defensive posture, ready to fend off an attack.
Amberisse ponders.
You hear a song of peace, and your surroundings suddenly become calm and still.
Louaryne renews her songs.
Ghrom says, "ah"
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Kadesha.
Sorshya says, "dont' attack"
Notta leans on Kadesha, giving her a companionable grin.
You ask, "What he say now?"
Sorshya says, "they want safe passage"
You cock your head at Ianeal.
Notta takes a bite of his burakis sandwich.
Finiswolf deeply says, "its not attacking"
Ianeal says, "Do not attack them."
The penguin waves its stubby wings about.
Sorshya says, "he's saying ddon't attack"
Amberisse asks, "don't ratrachK?"
Ianeal says, "That's what he said."
An ice troll touches an ice troll scalp.
Amberisse blinks.
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Amberisse nods to the ice troll.
Sorshya says, "he said don't attack"
Amberisse says, "be careful"
Sorshya nods.
Ghrom says, "well, we do kill trolls, jus' as they kill us"
Adrenath frowns.
Amberisse says, "I won't kill you."
Lord Sothog just arrived.
Sorshya says, "aye, but they asked for safe passage"
Ghrom says, "but this evenin' mebbe somethin differen'"
Amberisse says, "I jes heal stuff."
Myiera asks, "is it attackin?"
Ghrom says, "we as a society"

Finiswolf deeply says, "Urgrak said relax"
Amberisse shakes her head.

Urgrak growls, "Rawr 'ght no 'rra 'ght dar'rlarar."
Amberisse ponders.
Sothog blinks.
look troll
You see a fairly typical ice troll.
It appears to be in good shape.
It has an enruned ice-covered battle axe and an ice-crusted steel chain hauberk (worn).

Josslyn gazes up into the sky.
You hear the faint thoughts of Ghrom echo in your mind:
"trolls in town, be aware"
Amberisse says, "what did he say? Something about war..."
Adrenath says, "We'd better tell the people in TC not to attack."
Amberisse ponders.
Ianeal says, "I thought that sounded like war."
Amberisse nods.
Emissary Urgrak just went east.
You say, "Something about war."
[Icemule Trace, West Road]
The cobblestone road continues east and west between the narrow buildings. To the east the foot traffic seems to grow considerably worse. A gate is just visible at the western end of the road. You also see the Bellelaide disk, an ice troll and a Silvermule courier.
Also here: Lord Vehnbaeron, Emissary Urgrak, Lord Adrenath, Lady Myiera, Bellelaide, Renay
Obvious paths: east, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Adrenath says, "Don't attack."
In response to the soothing melody of Louaryne's song, your surroundings become calm and still.
Vehnbaeron serenely says, "A troll in town"
Adrenath nods to Louaryne.
The penguin sits down.
Urgrak nods to the ice troll.
Pixelle bows to the ice troll.
Josslyn nods to Urgrak.
Vehnbaeron serenely asks, "Does it speak common?"

Ghrom looks over at Vehnbaeron and shakes his head.
Adrenath shakes his head.
Ianeal says, "F'rar's."
Vehnbaeron serenely says, "Damn"
You ask, "Is this troll a scout, the one with him?"

Adrenath asks, "Where'd the troll go?"
Pixelle nods.
Sothog says, "South, I think."
Adrenath says, "He's taken off."
Mesail asks, "where is G'bruk?"
Sothog shrugs.
Sothog rubs his chin thoughtfully.
You say, "We don't rightly know."
You say, "South someplace."
Ianeal says, "Srssra'p."
Ianeal nods to Urgrak.
You whisper quietly to Ianeal. "What did ye say?"
Josslyn gazes up into the sky.
Notta glances at a roast burakis sandwich.
Ianeal whispers, "I told him pass."
Notta glances at Urgrak.
Notta ponders.
Myiera says, "ok the troll disappeared"
Myiera frowns.
Myiera chuckles.
Sazarr quietly asks, "troll?"
Myiera nods to Sazarr.
Myiera chuckles.
Sazarr removes an imflass-spiked mace from in his climbing pack.
Myiera says, "listen to the amulet silly"
Myiera snickers.
Sazarr slings a sigil-etched vultite kite shield off from over his shoulder.
Noonee wonders if they waited for midnight for the comet to be high in the sky.
Sazarr waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
The already-cold evening air freezes momentarily as a group of ice trolls pass through. Numbering approximately thirty, the group is composed of several generations. The youngest and frailest keep to the center, while a protective outer ring of watchful warriors herds the group on a southward path.
You hear very soft footsteps.
Myiera says, "i think it was a scout"
Myiera says, "to see if we would attack em"
Adrenath rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Myiera grins at Sazarr.
(Noonee watches the trolls pass.)
Myiera says, "see"
Finiswolf deeply says, "nice"
Sorshya says, "to see if we'd hold true to our word"
Adrenath seems to be waiting for something.
Urgrak nods.
Josslyn says, "Hmmm"
Ianeal nods.
Sothog says, "So far, so good. No mass hysteria, yet."
Sothog coughs.
Josslyn nods to Urgrak.
Finiswolf deeply says, "I am proud of my town to this point"
Adrenath says, "...yet,"
Kadesha covers her nose tightly.
Notta grins at Kadesha.
Notta grunts in agreement.
Notta wrinkles his nose.
Finiswolf deeply says, "we are keeping our word Urgrak, I hope you can keep yers"
You hear very soft footsteps.
The penguin preens itself quietly.
Urgrak nods to Finiswolf.
Adrenath leans on his longsword.
Urgrak nods.
Finiswolf smiles at Urgrak.
Finiswolf deeply says, "good"
Finiswolf deeply says, "good"
Urgrak peers quizzically at Finiswolf.
Josslyn nods to Urgrak.
Alwynian mutters under his breath.
Urgrak growls deeply, "Gnrirasr ghuo 'r'rar traghr'w?"
Kadesha says, "they goin south"
Ianeal says, "He asked what are you saying."
Kadesha shudders.
Ianeal nods to Finiswolf.
Ghrom chuckles.
Kadesha grunts, amused.
Finiswolf deeply says, "I am saying we are not attacking, and that I hope that his trolls do the same"
Notta offers Urgrak a roast burakis sandwich.
Calean says, "Trojan horse I say...."
Ianeal says, "They said they wouldn't."
Kadesha says, "we not attacking"
You say, "Well, ummm..."
Kadesha nods to Urgrak.
Finiswolf deeply says, "I realize that"
Bellelaide peers quizzically at you.
Urgrak declines Notta's offer.
Notta says, "Sure ya' git hungry on ya journey."

Emissary Urgrak just went east.
The penguin stands back up.
Notta gobbles down a big bite of his burakis sandwich.
You hear very soft footsteps.
Notta asks, "Wha's he say?"
Notta squints.
Sindani raises an eyebrow.
(Noonee gestures toward her harness and mimes sheathing it and locking the harness.)
Ianeal says, "I must look about for others."
Finiswolf peers quizzically at Ianeal.
The penguin waddles off.
Adrenath asks, "What did he say?"
Ianeal says, "Stragglers."
[Icemule Trace, East Gate]
A layer of dust swirls around the ground, stirred up by the trampling feet of the crowds passing in and out of a tall gate. A group of halfling children play a game by the gate, daring each other to run out into the wilds beyond. You also see an old beer barrel.
Obvious paths: west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Locate Person spell...
You gesture into the air.
Your vision begins to become murky and clouded. You have a sensation of rapidly passing distance. Eventually your sight begins to clear and a vision of Urgrak's surroundings fills your mind...
...[Icemule Trace, South Road]
...A silvery sheen from something up north catches your eye over the heads of the crowds. No matter the time of day or night, this stretch of road always seems busy. A young halfling girl, dressed in the livery of the Silvermule Gaming Hall, rushes past you to deliver a message. You also see a penguin that is sitting and a massive frost troll king.
...Also here: Lord Leritus, Lord Calean, Josslyn, Ghrom, Proteaus, Emissary Urgrak, Anmut, Lord Mesail
...Obvious paths: north, south, west
Ianeal gets a distant look on his face.
Ianeal says, "South road."

Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Josslyn clears her throat.
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Kadesha.
A massive frost troll king just went south.
The penguin eyes the area with apparent disinterest.
Mesail asks, "time for?"
Leritus darkly asks, "Just getting into the lands.. why is there a troll king in here?"
Ianeal says, "That is one big troll..."
Josslyn says, "my stars"
Adrenath rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Ghrom says, "trolls passin through town"
You say, "That is one big troll."
Ghrom says, "peacefully so far"
Ghrom nods to you.
Ghrom says, "it is indeed"
Ghrom chuckles.
Josslyn shivers.
Proteaus asks, "why troll king in town?"
Adrenath frowns.
Ianeal says, "Just passing through."
Josslyn says, "it is colder that usual"
Calean says, "Big damn troll"
You say, "They are just passing through."
Proteaus nods to Urgrak in greeting.
Calean snickers.
You say, "On way out of town."
Adrenath asks, "Is this area sancted?"
Mesail asks, "where did he go?"
Sothog says, "The trolls are gathering to the south, and have asked for safe passage."
Louaryne nods.
Louaryne points at herself.
Proteaus rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Proteaus asks, "why ya here Urgrak?"
You think to yourself, "Hmmm... wonder if troll kings are really kings."
Ghrom says, "Rorac"
Ghrom nods to Kadesha.
Notta nods to Ghrom.
Calean asks, "30 trolls is it eh?"
Adrenath frowns.
Shaderach clearly asks, "eh where that troll king go?"
Ianeal shifts his weight.
Notta grunts in agreement.
Urgrak growls, "Pathfinder 'ght fo ghr'rar's nri 'vrra'lar 'w."
You hear the faint thoughts of Leritus echo in your mind:
"Why is there a troll king walkin around? Just got in.."
Adrenath says, "Pathfinder, recognize that."
You ask, "What is that about the Pathfinder, Ianeal?"
You hear the faint thoughts of Myiera echo in your mind:
"dont attack it"
Urgrak peers quizzically at Finiswolf.
You hear the faint thoughts of Ghrom echo in your mind:
"trolls are passin through town.. don' attack 'em unless they attack firs'"
You hear the faint thoughts of Leritus echo in your mind:
"Im not.. just curious"
You hear the faint thoughts of Myiera echo in your mind:
"the trolls are movin through town now... dont attack em and we are all safe"
Urgrak growls deeply, "Grnriarsr ruo 'rra targhr'w?"
Ianeal says, "We leave in search of the pathfinder."
You hear very soft footsteps.
A small parade of ice trolls makes their way through the area, the youngest of them occasionally moving away from their elders to inspect their surroundings. After allowing a few moments of curious indulgence, the adult trolls shoo the strays back into the group, admonishing them quietly with words that cannot quite be overheard as they continue through the area.
Josslyn gasps.
Ianeal says, "You all, he doesn't understand a word we say."
Ianeal says, "No sense speaking to him unless you speak troll."
Notta begins to twitch.
Ianeal says, "He's getting a little upset, I think."
Finiswolf deeply says, "guess I need to learn troll"
You hear the faint thoughts of Myiera echo in your mind:
"the babys are sooo cute"
(Noonee looks at the little trolls.)
Calean says, "Of course"
Finiswolf nods to Ianeal.
Calean nods.
You hear the faint thoughts of Leritus echo in your mind:
"Ive never seen a cute troll.."
Josslyn says, "I can hardly swallow much less hold a conversation in troll"
(Sothog nods politely to the trolls as they pass.)
Ghrom says, "heh"
You hear the faint thoughts of Roelaren echo in your mind:
"just saw the trolls in tc"
You ask, "Why is he upset?"
You cock your head at Ianeal.
Semmy asks, "Dey here?"
Ianeal says, "Because people keep throwing words at him he doesn't understand."
Bellelaide nods to Semmy in greeting.
Bellelaide says, "aye"
Finiswolf deeply says, "we are confusing him with our common tongue I fear"
Notta grunts, amused.
Ghrom says, "well too bad for him"
You hear the faint thoughts of Leritus echo in your mind:
"What are they passin thru here for?"
Ianeal nods to Finiswolf.
Iskariot exclaims, "Tirmor'v ruo skarm s'vrura'rwd gnirtara' t'rubr, 'nor'riw 'kirl snrur'r doolarbr flor , sr'krans tsa'rt ra si tribrbrogh ra!"
Josslyn says, "Well join the club"
Semmy says, "I saw one west road."
Ianeal kicks Iskariot!
You hear the faint thoughts of Myiera echo in your mind:
"they lookin for a new place to live"
Adrenath glances at Iskariot.
Ianeal exclaims, "Shush!"
Bellelaide nods to Semmy.
A frost troll scout just arrived.
Adrenath glances at a frost troll scout.
Ghrom squints at Iskariot.
Calean nods.
You blink.
describe scout
You are not quite sure what to make of the troll scout, as you have never seen anything that looks quite like it. Stopping a moment, you try to commit this creature to memory so that you can tell tales of it to your fellow adventurers back in the safety of the local tavern.
Adrenath says, "Hm."
Iskariot grins at Ianeal.
Urgrak growls, "Dn'rirf mri r'sgnirt''rg."
Proteaus greets a frost troll scout. Perhaps they're in cahoots!
Ianeal says, "This my friend."
Proteaus says, "hrm"
Josslyn says, "I knew it"
Sothog rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Adrenath greets a frost troll scout. Perhaps they're in cahoots!
Bellelaide peers quizzically at Ianeal.
Sothog says, "Well."
Josslyn says, "in the cahoots"
You say, "The scout is his friend."
Finiswolf bows to the troll scout.
Josslyn nods.
Sothog greets a frost troll scout. Perhaps they're in cahoots!
Ianeal says, "No, getting my friend."
A frost troll scout just went south.
You smile at Urgrak.
Bellelaide asks, "really?"
Ianeal nods.
You nod to Urgrak.
You hear a song of peace, and your surroundings suddenly become calm and still.
Louaryne renews her songs.
Proteaus says, "hmm, i nae understand all tis"
Bellelaide shakes her head.
Bellelaide shrugs.
You whisper quietly to Ianeal, "He is getting his friend?"
Ianeal says, "Just leave them be."
With bone-clasped packs heft over their shoulders, a pair of elderly trolls slowly pick their way through town in the direction of the South Gate. They give little attention to the gawking halfling children that watch their progress, and only occasionally exchange a word or glance between themselves as they walk along.
Iskariot exclaims, "Tirmor'v ruo skarm s'vrura'rwd gnirtara' t'rubr, 'nor'riw 'kirl snrur'r doolarbr flor , sr'krans tsa'rt ra si tribrbrogh ra!"
Sothog says, "We're just here to make sure things go smoothly and there's no trouble."
Adrenath nods.
Notta glances at Iskariot.
Sothog nods to Proteaus.
Ghrom thumps Iskariot!
The blow catches him square in the solar plexus! He doubles over, gasping for air.
(Noonee pulls a halfling child out of the path of the trolls.)
Ghrom says, "stop it"
(Noonee nods to the elderly trolls.)
Ghrom says, "be respectful"
Iskariot glances at Ghrom.
Kadesha says, "uh what he say? dat din sound dwarven ta me"
Kadesha chuckles.
Ghrom says, "til ya gotta reason not ta"
Notta gazes up into the heavens.
Emissary Urgrak just went north.
Ghrom nods to Notta.
The penguin stands back up.
You hear very soft footsteps.
Sothog rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Emissary Urgrak just arrived.
Emissary Urgrak just went south.
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
The hoarse voices from the west are hard to understand. Either they are happy cries or anguished moans, or perhaps both. A group of enterprising youths approach you and ask for silvers, but continue along the road without pausing for your response. You also see a frost troll scout.
Also here: Lord Calean, Arliquin, Lord Vehnbaeron, Semmy
Obvious paths: north, south, east, west
Louaryne and Ianeal followed.
Emissary Urgrak just arrived.
In response to the soothing melody of Louaryne's song, your surroundings become calm and still.
A penguin waddles into the area.
Semmy nods.
Calean rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Semmy says, "No fight."
A frost troll scout just went south.
Semmy says, "He safe."
Ianeal asks, "L'lr'w og?"
Ianeal cocks his head at Urgrak.
Sothog rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Ghrom ponders.
Mesail glances at Urgrak.
Ianeal says, "I can't match the way their words sound."
Ianeal sighs.
Notta shifts his weight.
You rub Ianeal tenderly.
Urgrak nods to Ianeal.
Ianeal says, "They likely have the same problem doing so with our own words."
Sorshya says, "at least you're making the attempt"
Ianeal says, "All right..."
Finiswolf deeply says, "you received a nod ianeal"
You say, "He seemed to understand ye."
Ianeal smiles at Urgrak.
Ianeal nods to Urgrak.
Bellelaide says, "everything seems ok"
Pixelle says, "oh noooo"
Josslyn nods.
The penguin sits down.

(Notta glances at the penguin.)
Sothog nods to you.
Bellelaide nods to Shonison.
Adrenath says, "Some have passed."
You gaze up into the sky and see a broad field of lights...
Seven brightly shimmering stars form the pattern of a huddled rodent in profile, the three stars that make up its tail curled around the rest. A dark red star acts as the eye of the rat, twinkling darkly within the boundaries of its lighter cousins.
Also amid the twinkling lights is a comet, burning with a noticeable intensity as it travels the endless expanse. A wavering tail of cerulean blue trails behind it, resembling a massive serpent gliding through the black pool of night.
Finiswolf deeply says, "they are quietly moving through"
Adrenath scans his surroundings with the alertness of a seasoned scout.
Sothog says, "In all probablilty, aye."
Ianeal says, "D'ro'rogr"
The penguin waves its stubby wings about.
The normal business of town is suddenly interrupted as a large contingent of trollish shamans stride through. Their heads are held high and their step brisk, as if daring the citizens to question their presence. Their pace takes them quickly out of sight.
Adrenath rubs his chin thoughtfully.
You hear the sound of someone snorting.
You blink.
You say, "Holy trolls."

The penguin preens itself quietly.
Shonison says, "most likely"
Kadesha says, "sure like know where G'bruk is"
Ianeal says, "Maybe they decided to convene the council after all, like we asked the halflings to do."

You say, "Is like... a paradise."
You say, "The comet foretells that it is near."
Ianeal says, "No, the comet is only the sign that it's time for them to go to their promised land."

A penguin waddles into the area.
Ianeal says, "Maybe."
Notta gazes up into the sky.

Finiswolf deeply says, "we stopped him"
Notta says, "Dun mind tha' youngin's."
Urgrak raises his ice-covered battle axe in triumph!
You say, "If ye can, Ianeal."
Stopping momentarily to consult both the sky and a crudely drawn map on a piece of bark, several female trolls clothed in colorful beadwork discuss their southward journey. After studying several different paths from their location, one nods decisively and points south. With one last glance skyward, the trollish women continue on their way.

Notta sniffs.
You say, "This is not good."
Emissary Urgrak just went south.
Calean says, "Lets get it on then"
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
Several groups of adventurers jostle past you on their way through the South Gate. The sounds of laughter from the west remind you of the inns and taverns back home. You notice that the lowest part of the wall is darker stone than the top, a sign that this fortification was raised at some point in the past. You also see an old beer barrel and a shabby hovel.

You say, "Can't locate him."
You say, "Gone."
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
The hoarse voices from the west are hard to understand. Either they are happy cries or anguished moans, or perhaps both. A group of enterprising youths approach you and ask for silvers, but continue along the road without pausing for your response.

[Icemule Trace, Ice Garden]
Alpine flowerbeds ring this tucked-away courtyard, their bright colors a feast for the eyes in comparison to the white of all the snow that lies beyond the gate. Tamped snow paths keep footsteps soft in this small haven as travellers make their way to and from the chambers north of here. Centered in a bed of white edelweiss and aromatic purple-flowered calamintha is an ice fountain, its watery spray frozen in a sparkling plume. You also see the Bellelaide disk, some ephlox moss, some ambrominas leaf, some haphip root, some haphip root, some ambrominas leaf, some acantha leaf and a wrought-iron gate.

[Icemule Trace, South Road]

[Magical Burrow, Dervish Park]
The snow and ice which dominate Icemule Trace stop abruptly at the fenceline of the park. In their place sits a wide open greensward full of laughing children running everywhere.

A tall statue comprised of ten wizened halflings in enruned robes stands majestically at the center of the field.

You gesture at Adrenath.
A silvery translucent thread extends from you encompassing Adrenath's corpse.
For one fleeting moment as your soul touches Adrenath's soul, you feel an overwhelming sense of fright and desperation. Then a wave of blissful calmness settles upon you as you sense your souls have linked together.
Semmy came through a wrought-iron gate.
You hear the ghostly voice of Xuun say, "i'm ready"
Semmy asks, "Stunseed still missing?"
Zumn nods.
Zumn raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Zumn gestures at Xuun.
A silvery translucent thread extends from Zumn encompassing Xuun's corpse.
You raise your hand while murmuring a soft orison, focusing on the Life Restoration spell...
You remove some white monir and dark fel prayer beads from around your neck.
You recite:
"Leya, the strong and sure,
Lend of yer strength to this body,
For the spirit is willing,
But the body proved weak."
You hang some white monir and dark fel prayer beads around your neck.
You recite:
"Partake of Leya's strength and rise, Adrenath!"
You gesture at Adrenath.
A brilliant glow forms around Adrenath, lingers for a moment, then fades.
Your surroundings grow dim...you lapse into a state of awareness only, unable to do anything...
Adrenath's body suddenly grows darker.
Lord Shonison's group came through a wrought-iron gate.
You hear the faint thoughts of Larailia echo in your mind:
"Are they gone?"
Bellelaide meditates over Adrenath.
Bellelaide takes some of Adrenath's blood loss.
Zumn raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Zumn smiles with an inner knowledge and raises his hands to the sky just as a blinding white light streaks down and strikes his hand. When his hands start to grow brighter he lays them on the body of Xuun while muttering an arcane phrase under his breath. As Xuun's body begins to grow brighter you blink when they seem to fade in and out of visibility. When you look closer Xuun's body seems to absorb the light and gain color by the second just as he begins to gesture at the corpse.
Zumn gestures at Xuun.
Zumn suddenly looks very drained.
A bolt of soft white light streaks down from the sky bathing Xuun in it.
A brilliant glow forms around Xuun, lingers for a moment, and finally fades. Xuun awakens looking somewhat confused and seriously drained.
Xuun seems slightly different.
Semmy asks, "How many more here?"
Semmy says, "Ah kay."
You hear the faint thoughts of Ghrom echo in your mind:
"clear for tha moment.. I expect a ton more"
Bellelaide meditates over Adrenath.
Bellelaide takes all of Adrenath's blood loss.
Bellelaide drops dead at your feet!
You recover somewhat from the strain of the spiritual ordeal, taking great comfort in the thought that you had the opportunity to sacrifice part of yourself in the service of your god.
Shol stares at Bellelaide.
Adrenath says, "Gah."
Adrenath sits up.
Adrenath rubs Bellelaide.
You cough.
Kadesha's group came through a wrought-iron gate.
You hear the faint thoughts of Sothog echo in your mind:
"That's it. I'm locking the guild gates."
You raise your hand while murmuring a soft orison, focusing on the Preservation spell...
You gesture at Bellelaide.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Bellelaide, then fades into the body.
Zumn says, "Welcome back among the living Xuun."
Xuun stands up.
Semmy says, "I know of bunches in TC as far as De..."
The spirit of Bellelaide sighs softly, raising the hairs on the back of your neck.
Adrenath rubs his eyes.
Semmy went through a wrought-iron gate.
Adrenath asks, "Are the trolls still in town?"
Kadesha asks in guild speak, "need me get someone?"
Adrenath scowls.
Xuun bows.
You say in guild speak, "Liegolas is next."
Golanth warmly asks, "what happened to belle?"
Golanth rubs Bellelaide.
You say in guild speak, "Bellelaide just dropped."
Bellelaide giggles eerily.
Ianeal says, "Shriveled up."
You hear the faint thoughts of Finiswolf echo in your mind:
"instead of chewing someones arse fer attacking a threat to the town, try letting them know that jes attacking a troll king makes more, instead of getting mad at them"
You hear the faint thoughts of Nitefallz echo in your mind:
"where were they coming from"
Kadesha asks, "Liegolas ye wish Lorminstra's grace?"
You hear the faint thoughts of Ghrom echo in your mind:
"west gate"
You sense the link to Adrenath's soul slip peacefully away.
Adrenath whispers, "Thank you for raising me. Do you accept tips?"
Notta grins at Kadesha.
Kadesha gestures at Liegolas.
A silvery translucent thread extends from Kadesha encompassing Liegolas's corpse.
Golanth sighs.
Kadesha smiles at Liegolas.
Kadesha raises her hand to her Lorminstra symbol, touching the image of a golden key.
You whisper quietly to Adrenath, "Nae need in this type of fight scenario. But ye are most welcome."
Kadesha touches Liegolas.
Notta thumps the dead body of Liegolas. It doesn't help, he's still dead.
Notta exclaims something in Dwarven.
Adrenath nods to you.
Kadesha gestures at Liegolas.
Kadesha suddenly looks very drained.
A bolt of soft white light streaks down from the sky bathing Liegolas in it.
A brilliant glow forms around Liegolas, lingers for a moment, and finally fades. Liegolas awakens looking somewhat confused and seriously drained.
Liegolas makes a faint wheezing sound.
Adrenath whispers, "I'm in your debt."
Ianeal says, "The doorkeeper lives again."
You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Stun Relief spell...
You gesture at Kadesha.
The glazed look leaves Kadesha.
Ianeal snickers.
You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Stun Relief spell...
You gesture at Liegolas.
The glazed look leaves Liegolas.
Liegolas weakly says, "Thank you"
You hear the faint thoughts of Finiswolf echo in your mind:
"Emmisary is back"
You hear the faint thoughts of Nitefallz echo in your mind:
"Where"
You hear the faint thoughts of Selupico echo in your mind:
"where?"
You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Locate Person spell...
You gesture into the air.
Your vision begins to become murky and clouded. You have a sensation of rapidly passing distance. Eventually your sight begins to clear and a vision of Urgrak's surroundings fills your mind...
...[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.

You nod to Ianeal.

Obvious paths: north, south, east, west
Ianeal followed.
Finiswolf deeply asks, "what did the emmisary say?"
You see Emissary Urgrak the Troll Fighter.
He appears to be an adult and taller than average. He has dark-rimmed crystal blue eyes and ice white skin. He has a field of icicles growing from his head and face, and no hair. He has a large nose and a low forehead.
He is in good shape.
He is holding an enruned ice-covered battle axe in his right hand.
He is wearing a beaten hide weapon harness tooled with crude stars and moons, and an ice-crusted steel chain hauberk.
Sothog says, "No idea."
Saberwolv turns to face Urgrak.
Saberwolv peers over the rim of his spectacles.
Istiira patiently says, "he's back"
Saberwolv grumpily says, "what a strange lookin elf"
Istiira patiently says, "and he doesn't sound happy"
Nitefallz peers quizzically at Urgrak.
Shonison asks, "translation?"
Selupico glances at Urgrak.
Shonison asks, "anyone?"
Amberisse says, "what hte hecks' he saying"
Adrenath scowls.
Ianeal says, "He asked if anyone here spoke his tongue."
Adrenath glances at Urgrak.
Selupico says, "Larruf'ar'pr nirarmri'r'r 'sar'lurpr, 'krratsirmr ar n''br sargh 'r'r'ght"
Ianeal taps Urgrak lightly on his shoulder.

Stunseed says, "I got a language for you."
Ianeal nods to Urgrak.
Selupico glances at Urgrak.
Selupico glances at Urgrak.
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "Urgrak, as king of the town I ask you to speak with me in a more quiet place"
Sorshya says, "I think that was supposed to be a taste of what they can do"
Taylir gazes up into the heavens.
You glance at Nitefallz.
Finiswolf laughs!
Sorshya says, "if we anger them"
You roll your eyes.
Iskariot says, "l ur"
Ghrom says, "Urgrak ain' a typical troll folks, he'll kill mos' of ya withou' blinkin"

Sazarr shrugs.
Telenoth bows to Urgrak.
Ianeal says, "Your people killed my kin."
Kittina asks, "They only talk troll? Or they are trolls?"
Myiera says, "they are trolls"
You say, "Well, his killed ours too."
Finiswolf deeply says, "damn"
Shonison says, "there are many casualties on both sides. let us end this"

Myiera says, "quit killin my cousins"
Kittina says, "They look like troll uh.."
Myiera glances at Sazarr.
Sazarr quietly asks, "wha?"
You say, "And I've never been anywhere where two wrongs made a right."
Sazarr quietly asks, "me?"
You glance at Urgrak.
Sazarr points at himself.
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "this is pointless"
Urgrak growls, "'ar'r'p nir ssrrar'p ot r'k''r's larno 'w."
Myiera says, "yer insitin people ta kill em"
Sazarr quietly says, "I ai't kill no one"
Istiira patiently says, "he has told them to stop"
Daerath points at Urgrak.
Ianeal says, "I have told them to stop."
Sazarr waves a hand at Myiera, dismissing her indifferently.
Sazarr quietly says, "hey they started it"
Selupico says, "O'ot d'rid 'lorpro'pr r'rruo, s'dirs ghtobr no sgrnirdnartsr'dnrur'sirmor n''br s''r'ght"
Ianeal says, "We only seek to pass in peace."

Sothog says, "Sure they did."
Sindani says, "Where did they all go"
Istiira patiently says, "they tried to"
Daergard asks, "To where?"
Amberisse sighs.
You cough.
You blink.
Urgrak points at Nitefallz.
Nitefallz glances at Urgrak.
Saberwolv grumpily says, "Ah dont think thar is a point to talkin to this uneducated beast"
Urgrak growls, "D'krrattra 'gh"
Saberwolv waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Finiswolf deeply says, "tell him to make it quick, so no more accidents happen"
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "You have something to say to me you speak in common tongue troll"
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "I attacked no one"
Ianeal says, "He says you did."
Sothog sighs.
Nitefallz arrogantly asks, "And who made you translator?"
Selupico says, "R'won tghgrirr'r tir 'krramr dlarruoghsr 'w trubr 'tranrutr'rofnghu r's'tir"
Saberwolv grumpily says, "Its obvious this is nothin mer than a creature that wishes to eat yer young"
Ianeal says, "Might have been a general you, though."
Selupico glances at Urgrak.
Amberisse says, "why do they have to pass through the damn town is what I want to know"
Stunseed says, "You did yer Rogue move, Nite."
Ianeal says, "I can understand him just fine."
Ghrom begins chuckling at Saberwolv!
Amberisse says, "we got enough trails"
Ianeal nods to Nitefallz.
Amberisse glowers darkly at Urgrak.
Ghrom asks, "obvious eh?"
Saberwolv grumpily says, "indeed"
Ianeal says, "The you might have been a general you, but that's what he said."
Selupico smiles.
Natsuki says in guild speak, "selupico keep on talking if he starts attacking here we got a serious problem..."
Urgrak nods to Selupico.
Myiera says, "i guess this is why they said we should lock up all the youngins huh"
Selupico nods to Urgrak.
Myiera snickers.
Istiira nods to Myiera.
Ghrom nods to Myiera.
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "Past your bed time"
Nitefallz nods to Myiera.
Saberwolv grumpily says, "Trolls wish nothin mer than to feast on baby halflins. As an elf, ah am not bothered by this, however"
Saberwolv waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Myiera says, "i know not to attack em"
Myiera snickers.
Ianeal says, "So, unless you can translate what he is saying for everyone else, stop patronizing me for trying to help out."
Ianeal glances at Nitefallz.
Urgrak growls, "'r'vra'lor ot nirramri'r'r wr'f ar larno, d'r'ssrrapr dar'rlorra 'r'vargh tr'somri."
Myiera says, "i was havin fun with a family reunion"
Myiera mutters under her breath.
Selupico says, "Ylkciuq no evom ot elpoep ruoy llet dna, su dniheb siht tup ew tseggus I"
Saberwolv grumbles.
Iskariot says, "Is there any chane we could move somewhere more quiet"
Finiswolf deeply says, "ianeal ignore them, please translate"
Sothog says, "What should have been done is that the path they were taking through town should have been sancted in advance, and kept that way."
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "selupico.."
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "cmon."
Calean sniffs at Urgrak.
Sothog says, "Regardless of how many clerics it took."
Sothog rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Ianeal says, "Some have already passed, only a few women? need to leave."
Selupico nods to Urgrak.
Selupico says, "most have passed"
Selupico says, "only a few left to leave"
A small pack of ice trolls glances warily around the town as the trolls make their way down the streets. Grim-faced, they ignore the stares of young and old halflings alike as they keep a steady pace through town.
Pixelle asks, "they still roamin the town like mad?"
Selupico says, "so bear with them..."
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "Tell him his trolls need to get in and out if they have to pass through."
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "Anymore bloodshed and I will personally kill them all"
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "they're lucky I wasn't here earlier."
Selupico and Urgrak shake hands.
Myiera says, "they are only tryin ta find a new home"
Myiera sighs.
Ianeal says, "Wait, that wasn't women. That was remain."
Nitefallz shrugs.
Ianeal nods.
Semmy moves to stand in front of Urgrak.
Arliquin says, "On the move again"
You think to yourself, "Nitefallz is not a halfling. He cannot speak for them."
Ianeal says, "The general idea was the same, though."
Semmy says, "Through me Nitefallz."
You nod.
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "I don't care, how many times in the past have they attacked us and slaughtered our women and children"
You sigh.
Nitefallz begins chuckling at Semmy!
Arliquin says, "Stand ready."
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "If you wish"
Semmy says, "I no care 'bout death."
Selupico says, "Od 'ght targhr'w ton r'wonkr 'ght, nr'wot r'sirght fo r'snoirtar 'ght rof rror's mrar ri"
Selupico nods to Urgrak.
Saberwolv points at Lello, ruining his hiding place.
Saberwolv peers over the rim of his spectacles.
Shonison glances at Lello.
Ianeal says, "It's difficult for me to concentrate on translating with all this damned noise."
Ianeal sighs.
Lello says, "I apologise Urgrak"
Iskariot says, "I agree"
You ask, "Is that the last to pass then?"
Iskariot says, "Can we not move south"
You ask, "The ones who just did?"
Nitefallz arrogantly says, "Let us move somewhere quiet"
Finiswolf deeply says, "thank you Lello"
Nitefallz nods to Ianeal.
Iskariot points south.
Nitefallz points north.
Semmy asks, "I ask ta move one south for conversation wiff emersary?"
Urgrak pauses as if listening to something.
Lello falls forward on his knees and grovels before Urgrak begging him for mercy and kindness!
You cock your head at Urgrak.
Urgrak nods.
Nitefallz taps Urgrak lightly on his shoulder.
Louaryne shifts her weight.

You say, "He is listening for something."

Saberwolv waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
You ask, "See the tilt of his head?"
Iskariot says, "r'tr'iruq"
A stillness settles on the town as the last of the trolls pass through the South Gate.
Myiera says, "oo last of emn"
Semmy says, "Dey gone."
Nitefallz shifts his weight.
You listen, but don't hear anything unusual.

Lello asks, "What?"
Lello says, "They smell"

Adrenath frowns.
Lello nods.
You say, "Wish ye well in seeking yer paradise."
Pixelle says, "yer the one stinkin up da place"
Pixelle glances at Lello.
Saberwolv grumpily says, "paradise? Bah...they seek th' gates of Ta'Illistim"
Finiswolf nods to Pixelle.
Saberwolv waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Selupico says, ""gnitnuh doog dna yenruoj tfiws"
Bellelaide traces a sign while beseeching the spirits for empowerment...
Bellelaide gestures at Lello.
CS: +109 - TD: +4 + CvA: +19 + d100: +39 - -5 == +168
Warding failed!
A pall of silence settles over Lello.

Ianeal nods to Iskariot.
Meos quietly says, "M'ct torlo zu labboo"
Iskariot nods.
Emissary Urgrak just went south.
[Icemule Trace, South Road]
Several groups of adventurers jostle past you on their way through the South Gate. The sounds of laughter from the west remind you of the inns and taverns back home. You notice that the lowest part of the wall is darker stone than the top, a sign that this fortification was raised at some point in the past. You also see the Finiswolf disk, the Ghrom disk, the sparkling Josslyn disk, the Rhiver disk, the Scaxton disk, a white cat that is sitting, an old beer barrel and a shabby hovel.
Also here: Vrekk, Lord Adrenath, Nasrin, Lord Dalboz, Iskariot, Bellelaide, Finiswolf, Saberwolv, Lord Shonison, Emissary Urgrak, Josslyn, Ghrom, Lord Calean, Rhiver, Renowned Lady Sraven, Scaxton, Josan, Arliquin

Selupico smiles.
Saberwolv grumpily says, "Leave th' mindless beast alone"
Saberwolv waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
You say, "And there they go."
