The Night in a Nutshell
White motes of light drift through the area. White motes of light begin to swirl outside of Moot Hall. [General] Barnom exclaims, "Oh Gobby poo!" [General] Barnom thinks, "Here Gobby gobby, here gobby gobby." Lord Barnom just arrived. Barnom drops some pie crumbs from his rotting hand. Barnom yells, "Here Gobby gobby." Lord Barnom just went north. Barnom drops some more pie crumbs from his hand. Barnom exclaims, "Gobbly goop come out come out!" Lord Barnom just went west. Barnom sprinkles some more pie crumbs. Lord Barnom just went south. Lord Barnom just skipped merrily south. Lord Barnom just skipped merrily east. Barnom stands in front of a mushy black door. Barnom sniffs at a mushy black door. Speaking lightly to Barnom, Leafiara says, "Okay, we could have told you about this one ourselves." Barnom shrugs at Leafiara. Barnom says, "Well then." Lord Barnom just went through a mushy black door.
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Make something happen, you bore me." Barnom grabs a tree and begins to shake one of them, and making a loud, very loud monkey noise. Barnom gawks at Draccor. The lich gestures at Draccor. Draccor begins to flicker and fade, a look of agony etched upon his face. A moment later, he simply winks out of sight. Barnom shrugs. Barnom exclaims, "Be careful what you ask for!" Barnom snickers. Barnom yells, "Gobbly poo!" Speaking to Barnom, Thrassus asks, "I assume you are looking for the town?" Barnom says, "Well, no." Barnom says, "I know she HAS it." Draccor just came through a mushy black door. Barnom says, "I just want it back." Draccor darkly says, "Not bad." Barnom says, "I even prepared a meal for her." Barnom frowns.
Barnom reaches into his ear and pulls out a rolled up white parchment, then uncurls it and looks it over. Barnom put a sinew-wrapped yellowed bone scepter in his warcat fur cape. Speaking to Barnom, Pietra asks, "You been ear candling?" Barnom snickers. Barnom says, "Hmm..." Barnom asks, "What does she like to be called?" Barnom asks, "Goblyn? Anything else?" Leafiara replies, "Miss Goblyn." Barnom says, "Like Bristenn...and his one thousand pompous titles." Barnom says, "Lord of the azure sunny side, master of no love, champion of hand arts..." Barnom says, "That kind of thing for Bristenn." Barnom snickers. Barnom asks, "So just Miss Goblyn?" Leafiara tentatively says, "That's all I can think of, yes." Leafiara explains, "She's a bit formal with titles and such."
Barnom moves to stand in front of Kippe. Barnom snatches Kippe's hand in a blur of motion and sinks his teeth into his flesh! In a morbid display, Barnom gnaws quickly and bites off one of Kippe's fingers and holds it in his hand. Kippe winces. Barnom says, "Thanks...." Kippe glowers darkly at Barnom. Barnom says, "I ran out of quills." Barnom shrugs. Barnom shows a tattered white parchment his half-elven finger. Kippe casts a warning glance at Barnom. Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "So, you like finger foods." Barnom laughs at Pukk! Barnom applauds Kippe. Barnom applauds Pukk. Speaking slowly to Barnom, Kippe growls, "First bite is free." Barnom asks, "Is that what you told Raelee?" Barnom cackles at Kippe! Barnom laughs and part of his jaw comes disconnected, dangling like a broken helm visor. He quickly corrects it, snapping it back into place. Speaking to Barnom, Kippe warns, "Enough of that."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Im still not impressed." Barnom begins to use the blood dripping from the half-elven finger in his hand to scribble a note on his parchment. Draccor darkly says, "See now using a finger like that." As the lich points at Draccor, mystical energy suddenly envelops him. Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "I hope you like my tainted mana."
Barnom says, "Uh huh...." Barnom says, "Uh huh..." Barnom scribbles some more words on his parchment. Barnom asks, "Is it cod fish? or codfish?" Barnom rubs his chin thoughtfully. Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Come on now I know you can do better than just rift me." Thrassus says, "The latter." Barnom raises his arm, slowly pointing at Draccor. A frigid blue light eminates from Barnom's finger, extending towards Draccor. As the light envelopes Draccor, you see a thick layer of frost covering his body. Draccor drops dead at your feet! Barnom continues to scribble some words on his parchment. The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Honestly." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Raise your arm and kill. Clown." The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Honestly." The lich suddenly focuses its eyes on Draccor's corpse, and a faint crimson haze shrouds the body as its once lifeless limbs rise to strike at Geijon! Draccor's corpse pounds at Geijon with its fist! AS: +448 vs DS: +363 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +14 = +131 ... and hits for 5 points of damage! Blow nicks Geijon's right hand. Barnom gawks at Draccor. Barnom exclaims, "Evil!" The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Thats more better." Barnom scowls at Draccor. Barnom exclaims, "AH ha!" Barnom makes a quick punctuation mark on his parchment. Barnom exclaims, "And done!" The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "It was worth it." Barnom finishes writing on his parchment and adds Kippe's finger to his finger bone crown. Barnom taps a large twisted crown formed from decaying finger bones and one of Kippe's fingers that he is wearing. Barnom says, "It looks lovely." Barnom says, "I'm glad it wasn't the middle finger." Barnom says, "That'd be awkward." Barnom snickers. Speaking drolly to Barnom, Kippe asks, "The crowning jewel, so to speak?" Barnom says, "Don't flatter yourself." Speaking to Barnom, Kippe concedes, "Point." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "This is your end. Like it was before. What do you stand for. What do you believe? You are just undead with a story."
Barnom moves over to a tall wall of roots and pins his parchment to the wall and waves his hand, a white aura glowing over it for a moment and sealing it into place. >read par In the Common language, it reads: Dear Miss Goblyn I formally invite you to partake in a bountiful feast with the Lich King on this Eve of the Huntress to openly discuss what agreement might be reached in the return of Lich's Landing to its rightful ruler. All are welcome. We'll be serving codfish casserole, snake venom, caramel-dipped maggots, needle tea, cinnamon coffee and pumpkin rings. See you soon. Love, Lich King.
Geijon says, "Accept your reality." Barnom glances at Geijon and yawns. Speaking to Barnom, Geijon asks, "Why put it on me?" Barnom asks, "What?" Barnom peers quizzically at Geijon. Berkana asks, "Who is the rightful owner of Lich Landing?" Barnom says, "Um, duh. Me." Barnom nods at Berkana. Berkana begins chuckling at Barnom! Speaking softly to Berkana, Chandrellia says, "It was me till Barnom stole my deed." Barnom says, "It's not called Berkana's Landing." Barnom rolls his eyes. Barnom rolls his eyes. Barnom rolls his eyes. Berkana says, "Yet."
Barnom gasps when an eyeball suddenly rolls out of his socket and goes bouncing! He pounces like a small child, snatches it up, licks it clean and pops it back in. Barnom says, "Whew." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon asks, "Let's debate then, for the Landing. Will you accept?" Barnom asks, "Debate?" Barnom asks, "Have the Gryphons retired to debate club?" Barnom says, "Oh, how marvelous." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "I beat you in combat. I always did. I offer you debate." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Stop shirking your value." Barnom says, "I'm sorry, but you're rusting." Barnom nods at Geijon. Barnom says, "I don't understand you. and I got all of the parchment out of my ear." Geijon says, "You know I'm not." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Stand up for yourself, councilman."
Barnom says, "Well, a shame we couldn't have settled this tonight." Barnom exclaims, "But I look forward to another feast soon!" Barnom says, "...and if Goblyn doesn't show...." Barnom says, "Well." Barnom says, "Lots of people could die." Barnom says, "I'm getting tired of waiting, and now you took Vlashandra." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You retreat here, you die again and you know it." Barnom says, "Walward's siege miniatures are getting so lifelike." Barnom gawks at Geijon. Barnom says, "When does this one stop making noise though." Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Otherwise, go to bed." Barnom snickers to himself. Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Debate. Lylia, Leafiara, all of th' mayors are here." Lylia says, "Mm? Oh, we are missing half the mayoral representation we could have." Leafiara tentatively asks, "Wait, what exactly are we debating?" The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Barnom has no sway over me now." Barnom says, "I...I am not prepared to debate. I thought we were going to do a Roshambo tournament. Someone lied." Barnom snickers at Geijon.
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Barnom has no sway over me now." Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik says, "Oh, I bet that's a theory you don't want to test." The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly asks, "What more could he possibly do with me?" Barnom snaps, and skeletal hands rip out of the ground and drag Draccor's body off!
Barnom says, "Well..." Barnom exclaims, "Splendid evening to you all! See you in a few nights to feast! Bring your stretchy tunic pants! They'll be plenty to eat!" Barnom skips off, the fingers on his crown flapping about.
Quotables
Pukk exclaims, "Leben!" Speaking dubiously to Pukk, Leafiara says, "You're not Dwi." Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I know...I'm not man enough..."
Barnom begins to use the blood dripping from the half-elven finger in his hand to scribble a note on his parchment. Viva says, "Now that's what I call digital documentation."
Speaking to Geijon, Pukk says, "The way to win the debate is to say "Oh yeah?" That works for me all the time." Speaking to Pukk, Dendum asks, "Oh yea?"

Brief Meeting With Goblyn
White motes of light drift through the area.
[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see the Korvvin disk, the coffin-shaped Elkiros disk, the Skydream disk, the orange Gabnid disk, the coffin-shaped Jara disk, the Helaena disk, the Shachath disk, a cloudy grey tiger, the Lelbop disk, the Lowqon disk, the Weedykur disk, the Ghorkles disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, the Kiwoeachi disk, a copper lockpick, a drake mace, some stone benches with some stuff on it, an herbal remedy donation bin, a round silver-banded barrel and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Leafiara is admiring herself again.
Speaking tentatively to Goblyn, Leafiara asks, "Like what?"
Goblyn looks thoughtfully at Leafiara.
A stuffed black and yellow fire salamander with ebon eyes and toes suddenly appears out of thin air! It hisses loudly and bites hungrily at Leafiara's ankles before disappearing. You think you hear faint laughter in the distance.
Leafiara flails her arms about.
Speaking hesitantly to Leafiara, Goblyn says, "I am... I will discover it in some short time."

Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara whispers aloud, "You'd better step it up anyway just in case he's bluffing."
Lauranathalasa asks, "So if Goblyn is here, is the town safe tonite?"

Xorus asks, "Is it the end that is nigh?"
Inky black liquid seeps out from under Goblyn's feet and the tips of her fingers, coiling around and consuming her until she is no longer visible. The liquid seems to shudder, then vanishes.

Barnom's Search

Lauranathalasa says, "Oh she poofed."
Speaking to Roelon, Asben says, "There was nothing there."
In a perfect imitation of Pietra, from behind Pietra, a voice says, "I get hit in head much tonight."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Do we know what those motes of lights are?"
Delyorik says, "Hrm... the crowd's thinned at the part. Interesting."
Pietra says, "Someone's stalkin me tonight."
Asben whispers something to Roelon.
Speaking to Pietra, Asben asks, "Tonight?"
White motes of light begin to swirl outside of Moot Hall.
Speaking speculatively to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "Well... possibly Barnom's. Maybe he sensed that Goblyn's out and about?"

"Moving in three!"
Speaking to Dendum, Pietra exclaims, "Well done, tiny sir!"
[Town Square, East]
Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a puckish will-o-wisp spirit that is flying around, the Gillien disk, a delighted ocean spirit that is flying around, a large wooden makeshift stand with some stuff on it, a large purple wooden barrel, a mound of snow and a black imperial wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it.
Also here: Oompath, Lord Zazulu, Luminary Berkana, Xorus who is riding a fiery-eyed nightmare steed, Imperatrix Lylia, Lord Thrassus, Lord Telagan, Master Fisher Gillien, Arena Heroine Lauranathalasa

Pietra asks, "Gobby poo?"
Thrassus says, "Ah, it's him."
[General] Aethyra exclaims, "Ok, that made me laugh!"
Pietra says, "Oh geeze."
[General] Barnom thinks, "Here Gobby gobby, here gobby gobby."

[General] Peggyanne asks, "What brings you around Mr. Slim?"
[General] Dwi thinks, "Dat's sailor talk."
Speaking to Dendum, Pietra says, "I'm sure there will much rain tonight."
Leafiara muses, "An admirer *and* something."
[General] Pukk thinks, "If you keep saying that Goblyn will kill you..."
Lord Barnom just arrived.
[General] Peggyanne thinks, "Or she will throw her uhh poo at you."
Barnom drops some pie crumbs from his rotting hand.
Barnom yells, "Here Gobby gobby."
Lord Barnom just went north.
[General] Draccor thinks, "No she throws pies."
Leafiara curiously says, "Well, she *was* just here a few moments ago."
Pukk exclaims, "North!"
[Town Square, Northeast]
The entrance to Tykel's Arms, its heavy door bounded by iron-barred windows, dominates this corner of the square. All manner of citizens pass by, moving among the solid, multistoried wooden buildings that surround the bazaar. Just to the southwest can be seen the tree-shaded heart of the square, where citizens and adventurers gather for socializing, healing and rest. You also see a narrow alleyway.
Also here: Lord Barnom

Barnom drops some more pie crumbs from his hand.
Barnom exclaims, "Gobbly goop come out come out!"
Leafiara flatly asks, "Do you seriously expect this crumbs plan to work?"
Lord Barnom just went west.
[Town Square, Northwest]
This corner of the square is lively and hectic even at night. A number of representatives of the Landing's population, including several elven loggers and a party of rough-looking dwarves, loiter around the door of the Raging Thrak Inn, where the rowdy cheers of patrons and voices raised in songs of many sorts, from snatches of heroic ballads to blushingly bawdy tunes, beckon you to enter. You also see a polished granite statue and a mound of snow.

Leafiara dryly says, "I'm taking that as a yes."
Lylia says, "We are --"
Thrassus says, "I'm not sure if this will work."
[General] Pietra thinks, "He's got crumbs."
Lylia nods at Stormyrain.
Speaking wryly to Stormyrain, Leafiara says, "Fair enough."
Lylia says, "Just so."
Stormyrain agrees with Lylia.
[General] Peggyanne asks, "Anything I can do to help?"
Delyorik says, "Happened at least once before, with the crumbs."
Barnom sprinkles some more pie crumbs.
Lord Barnom just went south.
Leafiara adds, "But it's Goblyn he's trying to--"
[Town Square, West]
Here in the midst of the town stretches the cobblestoned main bazaar, its lamplit lanes abuzz with traders and vendors hawking their wares at any hour of the day or night. Groups of citizens, discussing the day's events or preparing for nighttime hunts, gather around the doors of the merchants whose shops border the square. The gilded but peeling stone facade of the First Elanith Bank dominates this side of the square.
Also here: Lord Barnom
Zazulu, Gillien, Stormyrain, Delyorik, Asben, Pietra, Viva, Bernadette, Roelon, Kippe, Kiwoeachi, Pukk and Telagan followed.
Delyorik says, "A long time ago."
[General] Peggyanne asks, "Need me to bless your weapon?"
Roelon deeply says, "Oops. There goes the crumbs.."
Leafiara mumbles, "Oh, never mind."
[General] Peggyanne thinks, "Hehe."
Asben says to Draccor, "You, sir, are a prattling cutpurse!"
Draccor says to Asben, "You, sir, are a gnarling, rug-headed death-token!"
Lord Barnom just skipped merrily south.
Leafiara says, "Are they made of kittens--"
Draccor says to Asben, "You, sir, are a frumpy, toad-spotted minnow!"
[Town Square, Southwest]
This corner of the square seems somewhat subdued. Townsfolk pass through on their way to the shops, the bazaar, or the main well at the center of the square. Others hurry past, anxious to get home or go on about their business. You also see a resplendent obsidian black raven that is flying around, a cobblestone walkway leading up to a wrought iron gate, a wood-sided shop and a chaotic crimson portal.
Also here: Arena Heroine Lauranathalasa, Brandilor, Luminary Berkana, Xorus, Lord Thrassus, Imperatrix Lylia, Lord Barnom, Dendum
Oompath, Draccor, Zazulu, Gillien, Stormyrain, Delyorik, Asben, Pietra, Viva, Bernadette, Roelon, Kippe, Kiwoeachi, Pukk and Telagan followed.
Draccor darkly says, "Thats better."
Speaking to Barnom, Leafiara says, "Are they made of kittens? She likes those."
Telagan whispers to the group, "Perhaps we're the ones bein' lead..."
Pietra whispers to the group, "Oh we sure are."
Lord Barnom just skipped merrily east.
[Town Square, Southeast]
Pedestrians and wagon traffic move off in all directions here, some going to the large intersection with South Ring Road, others crisscrossing the square via the bazaar. Men and women carrying neatly tied parcels or sacks and coils of rope slung over their arms emerge from the wooden facade of the old general store. You also see a black-armored muscular armiger, a gigantic toy chest and a mushy black door.
Also here: Arena Heroine Lauranathalasa, Lord Barnom
Oompath, Draccor, Zazulu, Gillien, Stormyrain, Delyorik, Asben, Pietra, Viva, Bernadette, Roelon, Kippe, Kiwoeachi, Pukk and Telagan followed.
Imperatrix Lylia's group just arrived.
A black-armored muscular armiger searches around nervously.
A black-armored muscular armiger discovers Raelee, who was invisible!
Barnom stands in front of a mushy black door.
Kiwoeachi says, "He's skipping around like a rat."
Raelee squints at a black-armored muscular armiger.
[General] Peggyanne thinks, "Silent treatment... thats the worse."
Barnom sniffs at a mushy black door.
Speaking lightly to Barnom, Leafiara says, "Okay, we could have told you about this one ourselves."
Delyorik says, "Those armigers are annoying."
Kiwoeachi says, "All you brother."
Kiwoeachi says, "Go get'm."
Barnom shrugs at Leafiara.
Barnom says, "Well then."
Lord Barnom just went through a mushy black door.
Leaving Word
[Black Void, Garden]
Bathed in shadows, an unusual garden encircled by seven trees spreads across this side of the long rectangular platform surrounded by darkness. The northern area of the platform is sectioned off, demarcated by a tall wall of woven roots that protrude up from the distinctively dark soil. Clogging the air with its intensity, the stench of cruor and decomposition gleefully cavorts around weaker nectarous notes. Descending down to ground-level is a stairway of small boulders, with a gate situated midway down. You also see a mushy black door.
Also here: Brandilor, Luminary Berkana, Xorus, Lord Thrassus, Imperatrix Lylia, Lord Barnom
Oompath, Draccor, Zazulu, Gillien, Stormyrain, Delyorik, Asben, Pietra, Viva, Bernadette, Roelon, Kippe, Kiwoeachi, Pukk, Raelee and Telagan followed.
Zazulu darkly says, "Now this aesthetic is more to my liking."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Zazulu asks, "Your doing?"
Lauranathalasa asks, "Is this Crux's garden?"
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Make something happen, you bore me."
Kippe whispers something to Raelee.
Barnom grabs a tree and begins to shake one of them, and making a loud, very loud monkey noise.
Thrassus says, "This is Goblyn's garden."
Speaking to Lauranathalasa, Leafiara says, "More Goblyn's, but since they're engaged... sure, in a sense."
Barnom gawks at Draccor.
Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik says, "Behave."
Draccor grins at Barnom.
Speaking to Barnom, Kiwoeachi says, "Ye ain't right in the head."
The lich gestures at Draccor. Draccor begins to flicker and fade, a look of agony etched upon his face. A moment later, he simply winks out of sight.
Barnom shrugs.
Speaking to Kiwoeachi, Pietra asks, "What was your first clue?"
Leafiara musingly says, "Well alright then."
The white sprite flying over Brandilor's shoulder says, "Time to rest!"
The white sprite hovering just above Brandilor's shoulder vanishes in a brief, white flash of light.
Thrassus says, "Well, he asked."
Lylia says, "I hope he went somewhere interesting."
Kiwoeachi says, "The summoning of massive amount of dead things."
Barnom exclaims, "Be careful what you ask for!"
Barnom snickers.
Telagan says, "Very interestin', am sure."
Barnom yells, "Gobbly poo!"
Lylia says, "And not just out in some cornfield."
Kiwoeachi says, "Oh a sprite."
Viva says, "Guess he could of a-voided that."
Kiwoeachi says, "Must be a new adventurer."
Speaking to Barnom, Thrassus asks, "I assume you are looking for the town?"
Barnom says, "Well, no."
Barnom says, "I know she HAS it."
Draccor just came through a mushy black door.
Barnom says, "I just want it back."
Draccor darkly says, "Not bad."
Draccor nods at Barnom.
Leafiara offers, "She's often not too far."
Leafiara corrects, "Well, sometimes."
Speaking to Draccor, Berkana says, "Fortunately, this is not about you tonight."
Barnom says, "I even prepared a meal for her."
Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik says, "Or any other night, actually."
Speaking darkly to Berkana, Draccor says, "It should never be about me."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor asks, "Can you do that to both of them too?"
Berkana says, "He won't."
Kiwoeachi says, "I gotta go little girls room."
Barnom frowns.
Berkana says, "But this one can go."
Speaking to Barnom, Thrassus says, "Used to be you could see the town from here."
Kiwoeachi asks, "What?"
Kiwoeachi exclaims, "Save me!"
Speaking darkly to Berkana, Draccor says, "At least yer not dhe'nar."
Speaking to Asben, Pietra says, "Quiet, the elves are yammerin."
Speaking to Pietra, Asben exclaims, "I didn't say anything!"
Speaking to Asben, Delyorik says, "Yet."
Speaking to Asben, Pietra exclaims, "You JUST did!"
Delyorik says, "You know it's true."
Barnom reaches into his ear and pulls out a rolled up white parchment, then uncurls it and looks it over.
Speaking deeply to Geijon, Roelon says, "Aye, nae ah pretty sight nae how many times ye see it."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Why are you alive."
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "That's a neat trick."
Asben says, "Gross."
Lauranathalasa says, "I guess his head isnt empty after all."
Barnom put a sinew-wrapped yellowed bone scepter in his warcat fur cape.
Roelon deeply asks, "Well. That is one place to keep things safe?"
Speaking to Barnom, Pietra asks, "You been ear candling?"
Barnom snickers.
Pietra says, "Heard it doesn't actually work, ya know."
Speaking to Lauranathalasa, Delyorik says, "That's an accomplishment, for most men."
Barnom says, "Hmm..."
Barnom asks, "What does she like to be called?"
Barnom asks, "Goblyn? Anything else?"
Leafiara replies, "Miss Goblyn."
Barnom says, "Like Bristenn...and his one thousand pompous titles."
Barnom says, "Lord of the azure sunny side, master of no love, champion of hand arts..."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "You can call her my slave. that usually gets her attention."
Barnom says, "That kind of thing for Bristenn."
Barnom snickers.
Barnom asks, "So just Miss Goblyn?"
Lylia murmurs, "I think only two of those might be accurate."
Leafiara tentatively says, "That's all I can think of, yes."
Leafiara explains, "She's a bit formal with titles and such."
Barnom moves to stand in front of Kippe.
Draccor darkly says, "Oh Goblyn loves me."
Speaking to Barnom, Delyorik says, "I don't wear a title. I don't care about them."
Pukk says, "You can also call her Mistress of Chaos, Devourer of hearts and Keeper of Cruxy."
Kiwoeachi says, "Somehow I don't think Imaera would approve of this place."
Delyorik says, "But..."
Delyorik says, "Sewer Rat is fun."
Speaking thoughtfully to Pukk, Leafiara says, "You know, that might work. She loves you, so knowing you came up with some nicknames for her..."
Lylia says, "I believe we may underestimate Imaera."
Barnom snatches Kippe's hand in a blur of motion and sinks his teeth into his flesh! In a morbid display, Barnom gnaws quickly and bites off one of Kippe's fingers and holds it in his hand.
Kippe winces.
Delyorik says, "Ouch."
Asben says, "Cute."
Barnom says, "Thanks...."
Kippe glowers darkly at Barnom.
Barnom says, "I ran out of quills."
Barnom shrugs.
Raelee stares at Barnom.
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Ok that was awesome."
Leafiara mutters, "Coulda just asked."
Barnom shows a tattered white parchment his half-elven finger.
Leafiara removes an arboareal zoetic quill with a twig-like rachis and green vane from in her cherry red cloak.
Leafiara put an arboareal zoetic quill with a twig-like rachis and green vane in her cherry red cloak.
Kippe casts a warning glance at Barnom.
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "So, you like finger foods."
Speaking squeakily to Kippe, Oompath says, "Oo..."
Barnom laughs at Pukk!
Raelee glances sharply between Barnom and Kippe.
Barnom applauds Kippe.
Barnom applauds Pukk.
Geijon asks, "Healing?"
Kiwoeachi says, "I help."
Speaking to Barnom, Goldstr says, "But nae a good way to be callin on Miss Goblyn."
Speaking slowly to Barnom, Kippe growls, "First bite is free."
Xorus says, "When she was doing correspondence related to your chamber of decay, I recall seeing the phrase "Dear Madame Kygar"."
Raelee whispers something to Kippe.
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "You should try lady fingers..I hear they are good too."
Barnom asks, "Is that what you told Raelee?"
Barnom cackles at Kippe!
Delyorik glances over at Barnom and winces.
Kiwoeachi says, "You can't have my fingers."
Delyorik says, "Ouch."
Kippe squints at Barnom.
Raelee glares at Barnom.
Kiwoeachi says, "You should give Lorminstra back all those souls you've stolen."
Leafiara glances suspiciously between Raelee and Kippe.
Kiwoeachi says, "Lest ye incur her wrath more."
Leafiara stares into space, appearing to ponder multiple possibilities and potential nuances.
Barnom laughs and part of his jaw comes disconnected, dangling like a broken helm visor. He quickly corrects it, snapping it back into place.
Leafiara clasps a hand over her mouth.
Kippe casts a warning glance at Barnom.
Kiwoeachi says, "Creepy bugger."
Raelee's gaze takes on an intense focus as her eyes flare brilliantly with a hot white glow.
Speaking to Barnom, Kippe warns, "Enough of that."
Speaking to Barnom, Delyorik says, "Yeah, you might want to get that jaw fixed."
Speaking to Barnom, Viva says, "Truly jaw-dropping."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Im still not impressed."
Barnom begins to use the blood dripping from the half-elven finger in his hand to scribble a note on his parchment.
Delyorik says, "Just an observation."
As the lich points at Draccor, mystical energy suddenly envelops him.
Draccor darkly says, "See now using a finger like that."
Draccor shakes his head at Barnom and clucks his tongue.
Leafiara acknowledges, "I suppose she'll like that bit of flourish at least."
Speaking in Dark Elven, Helaena says something you don't understand.
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "To extend this importance in your followers, you remain th' clown."
Speaking to Barnom, Berkana says, "A bit farther away this time."
Speaking in Dark Elven to Barnom, Helaena says something you don't understand.
Viva says, "Now that's what I call digital documentation."
Lady in Waiting Chandrellia just came through a mushy black door.
Geijon says, "Your chance was with Vlashandra and you ignored her, so she failed."
Speaking to Leafiara, Telagan says, "But parchment 'stead of hide or leather? Hm."
Chandrellia softly asks, "And what is this! Why are all these intruders in, MY, garden?"
Speaking to Telagan, Leafiara concedes, "Interesting point."
Chandrellia stares at Barnom.
Pukk asks, "Okay, who said Chandrellia's name 3 times and summoned her?"
Speaking softly to Pukk, Chandrellia says, "You thought sugar."
Kiwoeachi asks, "Someone say clowns?"
Delyorik says, "We already have clowns."
Thrassus says, "Parchment is made from kidskin though."
Speaking to Delyorik, Pukk says, "Thank you."
Speaking to Delyorik, Pukk says, "I worked hard on it."
Xorus says, "With real orphans, spared no expense."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Let me give you time."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "I hope you like my tainted mana."
Speaking to Xorus, Pukk asks, "Real orphans are tastier you say?"
Low laughter spills out all around you, a manic edge to its tone that grows more and more intense the quieter the laughter becomes, until you no longer hear it at all.
Kiwoeachi asks, "Anyone else hear that?"
Speaking to Pukk, Xorus says, "Less free range than street urchin. Easier to fatten up."
Delyorik asks, "Hear what?"
Speaking offhandedly to Kiwoeachi, Leafiara says, "Oh, that's just the ambience of this place."
Chandrellia softly says, "Oh that sound."
Kiwoeachi says, "Some laughing."
Speaking helpfully to Kiwoeachi, Leafiara says, "Miss Goblyn has fascinating tastes and decor."
Kiwoeachi says, "Maniacal laughing."
Speaking softly to Kiwoeachi, Chandrellia says, "You learn to let it soothe you if you come here enough."
Barnom says, "Uh huh...."
Barnom says, "Uh huh..."
Barnom scribbles some more words on his parchment.
Kippe looks angrily at Barnom, his fingers twitching as he seethes.
Kiwoeachi asks, "Wasn't she just here?"
Barnom asks, "Is it cod fish? or codfish?"
Barnom rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Draccor says, "Come on now I know you can do better than just rift me."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia asks, "Speaking of Miss Goblyn have you had the chance to say hello yet? Oh wait, your tunnel is blocked still huh?"
Thrassus says, "The latter."
Leafiara tentatively says, "I... think codfish."
Telagan says, "Not sure she'll be swayed by sendin' a grocery list."
Kiwoeachi says, "Most women are swayed by food."
Xorus says, "If it is only one, it is a codpiece."
Barnom raises his arm, slowly pointing at Draccor. A frigid blue light eminates from Barnom's finger, extending towards Draccor. As the light envelopes Draccor, you see a thick layer of frost covering his body.
Draccor drops dead at your feet!
Lauranathalasa kicks some dirt on the corpse of Draccor.
Speaking softly to Kiwoeachi, Chandrellia says, "I know where there are some back apples."
Kiwoeachi says, "And he's dead."
Speaking to Chandrellia, Leafiara says, "That's what he's working on now with his letter, I think--"
Speaking to Draccor, Pukk says, "See, that was impressive."
Delyorik says, "Well, that's better than rifting."
Speaking squeakily to Barnom, Oompath exclaims, "OO!"
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia asks, "Seriously, stil playing school yard games?"
Leafiara notes, "He did literally ask for it."
Lylia whispers something to Xorus.
Kiwoeachi asks, "Bapples?"
Speaking to Chandrellia, Telagan asks, "What school yard did you grow up wit'?"
Speaking to Leafiara, Delyorik says, "He did."
Kiwoeachi says, "I always liked golden apples."
Barnom continues to scribble some words on his parchment.
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Raise your arm and kill. Clown."
Kiwoeachi says, "Enchanted ones, preferably."
Speaking softly to Telagan, Chandrellia says, "The rough kind."
Speaking squeakily to Draccor, Oompath says, "Dood."
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Honestly."
Speaking to Barnom, Thrassus says, "I am curious as to what you are writing there."
Delyorik says, "But, now I feel better."
Viva asks, "Perhaps taking notes for recreating this place down below?"
The lich suddenly focuses its eyes on Draccor's corpse, and a faint crimson haze shrouds the body as its once lifeless limbs rise to strike at Geijon!
Draccor's corpse pounds at Geijon with its fist!
AS: +448 vs DS: +363 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +14 = +131
... and hits for 5 points of damage!
Blow nicks Geijon's right hand.
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You never were anybody's answer."
Speaking helpfully to Barnom, Leafiara says, "Maybe you should run the final letter by us before--"
Kiwoeachi says, "Oh."
Barnom gawks at Draccor.
Geijon sighs.
Kiwoeachi says, "That seems not good."
Barnom exclaims, "Evil!"
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Thats more better."
Barnom scowls at Draccor.
Speaking to Geijon, Delyorik says, "Now that's just overboard."
Leafiara surprisedly says, "Huh, that's an interesting trick."
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk asks, "Can you make him dance?"
Speaking softly to Draccor, Chandrellia says, "Wow even in death you are kind of tough, that's impressive."
Barnom exclaims, "AH ha!"
Speaking to Pukk, Lylia says, "I only manage to make them stand, sit, and roll over."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You are long done. You don't continue."
Lylia says, "...and play dead."
Xorus says, "... and explode."
Barnom makes a quick punctuation mark on his parchment.
Barnom exclaims, "And done!"
Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "Oh, yes! Yes, that too."
Speaking to Lylia, Pukk says, "You should work on making them dance too."
Delyorik says, "Ya'll are just crazy."
Darkkstormmer says, "Hiyas."
Goldstr whispers to the group, "Too bad he doesn't show as Undead with Symbol Recognition."
Lylia says, "I have been. These things take practice."
Kiwoeachi says, "Uhmm."
Speaking amusedly to Delyorik, Leafiara says, "This is the Landing."
Speaking softly to Delyorik, Chandrellia exclaims, "Why thank you!"
Pukk whispers to the group, "More favor then."
Darkkstormmer says, "Leave him ded."
Speaking softly to Leafiara, Chandrellia says, "Oh yeah, all yours."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Leafiara is mayor."
Darkkstormmer says, "Dead."
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "It was worth it."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia says, "By the way, you owe me a deed, sir." [not referring to favor with Lorminstra; she drew up a deed claiming ownership of Lich's Landing and Barnom summoned a skeleton bird to take it away]
Speaking to Geijon, Leafiara says, "For one last day, at least."
Barnom finishes writing on his parchment and adds Kippe's finger to his finger bone crown.
Berkana says, "He's better dead."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Vlashandra was trapped like you are."
Barnom taps a large twisted crown formed from decaying finger bones and one of Kippe's fingers that he is wearing.
Kippe clenches his jaw.
Barnom says, "It looks lovely."
Speaking to Chandrellia, Kiwoeachi says, "He owes Lorminstra his life."
Chandrellia softly says, "Vlashandra owes me a face and I will collect."
Barnom says, "I'm glad it wasn't the middle finger."
Barnom says, "That'd be awkward."
Barnom snickers.
Kiwoeachi says, "He exists only because Koar allows it."
Lylia says, "Vlashandra owes a great many debts."
Speaking to Leafiara, Goldstr asks, "Not till a new mayor be sworn in?"
Delyorik says, "Brought it upon himself... I'm not getting involved. Ya'll have fun."
Speaking drolly to Barnom, Kippe asks, "The crowning jewel, so to speak?"
Barnom says, "Don't flatter yourself."
Speaking to Goldstr, Leafiara offers, "No, no... the people only voted for a one year term, so I think it would be wrong to go beyond that, even in this... situation."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia asks, "So, whatchya got cookin there Slim?"
Kippe glances at Barnom and slowly exhales.
Speaking to Barnom, Kippe concedes, "Point."
Speaking to Kippe, Pukk says, "It's more like the crown is flipping everybody off."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "This is your end. Like it was before. What do you stand for. What do you believe? You are just undead with a story."
Speaking to Kippe, Brandilor says, "Except you don't have a finger."
Barnom moves over to a tall wall of roots and pins his parchment to the wall and waves his hand, a white aura glowing over it for a moment and sealing it into place.
Speaking to Barnom, Leafiara says, "Are you reading that aloud or just sending it now and hoping she likes it--"
Speaking to Leafiara, Goldstr says, "Well I figure der needs always be one active."
>read par
In the Common language, it reads:
Dear Miss Goblyn
I formally invite you to partake in a bountiful feast with the Lich King on this Eve of the Huntress to openly discuss what agreement might be reached in the return of Lich's Landing to its rightful ruler. All are welcome. We'll be serving codfish casserole, snake venom, caramel-dipped maggots, needle tea, cinnamon coffee and pumpkin rings.
See you soon.
Love, Lich King.
Barnom nods.
Barnom says, "There."
Debates?!
Speaking to Barnom, Darkkstormmer says, "Tear that parchment down."
Berkana says, "Hmm."
Speaking softly to Geijon, Chandrellia says, "I wouldn't count him out yet, after all, he hasn't actually outright attacked the Landing, which is in itself is odd considering the circumstances."
Geijon says, "Accept your reality."
Thrassus asks, "This Eve of the Huntress, hm?"
Barnom glances at Geijon and yawns.
Speaking to Brandilor, Kippe whispers aloud, "I have 7 more."
Berkana says, "Hard pass on the maggots."
Thrassus says, "I think I shall attend."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon asks, "Why put it on me?"
Speaking to Goldstr, Leafiara mutters, "Yeah, if only we had an actual judge to issue a ruling on that."
Kiwoeachi says, "Koar is the judge."
Xorus says, "I would have gone with 'Madame Kygar'."
Barnom asks, "What?"
Speaking darkly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Draccor says, "I still say yer weak and boring."
Barnom peers quizzically at Geijon.
Speaking to Berkana, Pietra says, "And any casserole with fish."
Pukk says, "Mmmmm caramel-dipped maggots...truly a feast to enjoy."
Berkana asks, "Who is the rightful owner of Lich Landing?"
Kiwoeachi says, "I believe Lorminstra would have him."
Barnom says, "Um, duh. Me."
Barnom nods at Berkana.
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk asks, "Can I come too and enjoy dinner?"
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You don't exist."
Berkana begins chuckling at Barnom!
Speaking softly to Berkana, Chandrellia says, "It was me till Barnom stole my deed."
Barnom says, "It's not called Berkana's Landing."
Barnom rolls his eyes.
Kiwoeachi says, "I'm sure she has a many things she would love to do to.. with him."
Barnom rolls his eyes.
Barnom rolls his eyes.
Berkana says, "Yet."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Draccor says, "Nothing more you can do to me from here."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Zazulu asks, "Is this to be a potluck?"
Speaking to Barnom, Goldstr says, "Er actually be Miss Goblyn .. right now."
Barnom gasps when an eyeball suddenly rolls out of his socket and goes bouncing! He pounces like a small child, snatches it up, licks it clean and pops it back in.
Barnom says, "Whew."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Draccor says, "So so weak."
Lauranathalasa asks, "Ruler doesnt imply ownership though, does it?"
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon asks, "Let's debate then, for the Landing. Will you accept?"
Kiwoeachi says, "That was gross."
Speaking to Barnom, Pietra exclaims, "Keep it together, man!"
Barnom asks, "Debate?"
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia says, "Careful there, you seem to be, falling apart."
Thrassus asks, "Debate what?"
Speaking seriously to Barnom, Berkana asks, "Why not just take it by eminent domain?"
Leafiara says, "At absolute least, she's a gatekeeper at the moment."
Leafiara musingly says, "Literally."
Barnom asks, "Have the Gryphons retired to debate club?"
Barnom says, "Oh, how marvelous."
Speaking to Geijon, Pukk says, "The way to win the debate is to say "Oh yeah?" That works for me all the time."
Speaking to Pukk, Dendum asks, "Oh yea?"
Kiwoeachi says, "Gosaena I thought was the gatekeeper."
Pukk points at Dendum.
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "I beat you in combat. I always did. I offer you debate."
Pukk exclaims, "He knows!"
Speaking softly to Berkana, Chandrellia says, "He can't, you see, Liches Landing terchnically isn't his any longer and a Lich has to be invited in."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Stop shirking your value."
Speaking darkly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Draccor says, "Yer not powerful enough to protect any gate."
Berkana says, "Ah..."
Barnom says, "I'm sorry, but you're rusting."
Barnom nods at Geijon.
Barnom says, "I don't understand you. and I got all of the parchment out of my ear."
Geijon says, "You know I'm not."
Kiwoeachi says, "There's a guy by name of Quin that'll watch the gates for ya."
Speaking to Delyorik, Darkkstormmer says, "Throw your darts at him."
Kiwoeachi says, "He's usually pretty sleepy though."
Kiwoeachi says, "You'll have to rouse him up."
Speaking to Darkkstormmer, Delyorik says, "Don't tempt me... I've gotten good at them."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Stand up for yourself, councilman."
What-Ifs
Barnom says, "Well, a shame we couldn't have settled this tonight."
Barnom exclaims, "But I look forward to another feast soon!"
Geijon says, "Win popularity and I will concede."
Speaking to Delyorik, Darkkstormmer says, "He is boring me to sleep."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia says, "So, you gonna let Amos take over the Landing, that should make it interesting for you to get back Lich Landing."
Barnom says, "...and if Goblyn doesn't show...."
Speaking to a tattered bloodstained parchment, Leafaiara says, "Wonder if she'll see this in time."
Barnom says, "Well."
Speaking to Darkkstormmer, Delyorik says, "Wake up."
Barnom says, "Lots of people could die."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia says, "Been there done that."
Barnom says, "I'm getting tired of waiting, and now you took Vlashandra."
Speaking to Barnom, Darkkstormmer says, "You mean you might die."
Kiwoeachi says, "Yes well, unlike Barnom, we have the favor of Lorminstra."
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "I knew you wouldn't be boring."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia asks, "Awe did we take your playtoy?"
Kiwoeachi says, "So.."
Geijon says, "She failed."
Speaking to Barnom, Goldstr exclaims, "Now Threats I Nae take!"
Speaking to Chandrellia, Delyorik says, "Speak for yourself. I don't die."
Xorus says, "Goblyn does enjoy it when many people die."
Speaking to Barnom, Leafiara says, "You were literally complaining about her last time we met."
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Roelon says, "Nae ah great loss there."
Speaking to Barnom, Lylia says, "Oh, she was dull."
Kiwoeachi says, "Your threats hold no weight."
Thrassus says, "I am not sure that's much of an incentive for Miss Goblyn, to be honest."
Kiwoeachi says, "The great Lorminstra guides us."
Lylia asks, "Who wants a pet instead of a partner?"
Kiwoeachi says, "She never fails in her duty."
Kiwoeachi says, "Unlike you."
Delyorik says, "He does, though."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You retreat here, you die again and you know it."
Speaking to Lylia, Pietra says, "I've always wanted a monkey."
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Hah."
Pietra asks, "Was that not the question?"
Barnom says, "Walward's siege miniatures are getting so lifelike."
Barnom gawks at Geijon.
Barnom says, "When does this one stop making noise though."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Otherwise, go to bed."
Barnom snickers to himself.
Speaking to Pietra, Lylia says, "...I shall withhold further comment, but I shall note that monkeys smell."
Okeeper says, "What in the..."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia asks, "Maybe we should discuss this over a nice rotting meal and a glass of aged blood?"
Speaking to Lylia, Pietra says, "Not if you wash em."
Kiwoeachi says, "I hear someone has a store of elven blood."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "You have lost everytime."
Speaking to Draccor, Okeeper asks, "Do you... need a hand there, or are you a stage prop at this point?"
Speaking to Okeeper, Pukk says, "More of the last thing you said."
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Im safe in this state."
Lylia says, "Having never smelled a freshly-washed monkey, I could not disagree."
Speaking to Barnom, Geijon says, "Debate. Lylia, Leafiara, all of th' mayors are here."
Delyorik says, "Can't die again if you're already dead."
Speaking softly to Okeeper, Chandrellia says, "Normally he is the class clown, but in this instance yes he is a stage prop."
Lylia says, "Mm? Oh, we are missing half the mayoral representation we could have."
Okeeper says, "That sounds like a challenge."
Leafiara tentatively asks, "Wait, what exactly are we debating?"
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly says, "Barnom has no sway over me now."
Barnom says, "I...I am not prepared to debate. I thought we were going to do a Roshambo tournament. Someone lied."
Speaking to Geijon, Dendum asks, "Gryphons get mad at the human who kills the witch...and now want the debate?"
Barnom snickers at Geijon.
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk asks, "Oh yeah?"
Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik says, "Oh, I bet that's a theory you don't want to test."
Speaking to Draccor, Okeeper asks, "And him not holding sway over you is a good thing in your opinion?"
Speaking to Geijon, Pukk says, "See, that's how it's done."
Telagan says, "He made y'get up an' hit someone... pretty sure is good sway."
Barnom says, "Well...."
In a perfect imitation of Pukk, Dendum asks, "Oh yea?"
Barnom exclaims, "Let's hope we can have a good feast soon!"
Kiwoeachi asks, "When the fisticuffs begin?"
Barnom says, "I get my town...you can keep Vlashandra..."
Pukk exclaims, "I'm good! My voice came out of him!"
The ghostly voice of Draccor darkly asks, "What more could he possibly do with me?"
Speaking softly to Leafiara, Chandrellia exclaims, "I hope Goblyn brings her kitty pot pies, I'm hungry and she has such tasty treats!"
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk says, "That is a horrible trade..."
Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik asks, "Really?"
Thrassus says, "That might be a fair trade."
Speaking to Barnom, Dendum asks, "You do not want landing...is infested with sellswords....Dendum can sell you great citadel just outside the Maelstrom Bay...is full of dead humans. You fit right in. Dendum even helps push you in boot if you wish yes?"
Kiwoeachi says, "I demand you all fight."
Speaking to Draccor, Delyorik asks, "What more?"
Kiwoeachi exclaims, "To the death!"
Lylia exclaims, "Oh, interesting!"
Speaking to Barnom, Pukk asks, "How about you take Vlashandra and you take Lich Landing?"
Barnom snaps, and skeletal hands rip out of the ground and drag Draccor's body off!
Kiwoeachi says, "Ooh speaking of pie.."
Kiwoeachi says, "Where's Maags when you need her."
Chandrellia softly exclaims, "Bye Draccor!"
Delyorik says, "I tried to warn him."
Speaking to himself, Dendum says, "No one ever wants to trade."
Leafiara says, "He did issue the challenge."
Delyorik says, "I really tried."
Speaking to Barnom, Lylia says, "You know, I have seen the very soil swallow people here in this garden."
Delyorik says, "But..."
Speaking to Lylia, Thrassus says, "The trees appreciate it."
Lylia says, "Perhaps I should have worn less pointy shoes. Never know whose rest I might be disturbing with these."
Delyorik says, "Apparently, you can be dead and still be dull."
Barnom says, "Well..."
Leafiara says, "A few days isn't exactly much time for her to see this since she's often busy elsewhere, but... at least it's posted in her favorite place."
Delyorik exclaims, "I learned something!"
Delyorik says, "About being dead."
Speaking to Delyorik, Lylia says, "So did Draccor."
Delyorik says, "Cause, well, I don't die."
Speaking softly to Barnom, Chandrellia exclaims, "I have to say, that little touch of Love Barnom, is sure to win her over!"
Kiwoeachi says, "He's in town square."
Kiwoeachi says, "Draccor, I mean."
Barnom exclaims, "Splendid evening to you all! See you in a few nights to feast! Bring your stretchy tunic pants! They'll be plenty to eat!"
Speaking darkly to Barnom, Zazulu says, "If you have any spare Draccor parts when you are done with him, I would be interested."
Delyorik says, "I don't die, I dodge."
Barnom skips off, the fingers on his crown flapping about.
