by Leafiara Autumnwind of the TownCrier


The Night in a Nutshell

Some townspeople wander by, "...and I heard they all intend not to hand over this....this statue or what not, so we best get ready because we all know that...."  Their voices trail off as they walk out of range.
Black-armored armigers multiple in number along the bulwark towers near the center of town, arrows drawn, eyes to the west and all over the town.
As armigers man the bulwark towers, several dozen more armigers flood into the street corners surrounding the center of town.  They take position, weapons drawn, eyes to the street, as they hold the line around the bulwark towers, creating a safe haven all around Town Square Central.
Slipping in and out of alleyways, a lone white-cloaked figure moves amidst the light snowfall, prowling the streets.
[General] Vlashandra asks, "You won't end this easily, will you?"
[various responses]
[General] Vlashandra thinks, "I was hoping you'd say that. You know my love of pain."
Heavy fog begins to creep along the streets of town, hugging the cobblestones like a blanket of rolling ash.
A large bone wall rises along West Ring Road.
[bashing and casting at the wall for the entire night, and it retaliates with damage and disease, amidst combat later]
A second bone wall rises on the west side of town.
Behind the towering bone walls, the tip of bloodstained wooden catapults come into view.
A viscous sphere of flame arcs into the area!
The viscous sphere of flame impacts the ground nearby, dispersing fiery globules all over!
[people getting set on fire]
Along North Ring Road, the ground breaks open and patchwork zombies claw out into view!  YOUNGER armigers and town guards rush off to clash with them!
Dark hooded figures rise up from the rooftops of Wehnimer's Landing, some with arrows nocked in bows, while others wield rune-etched handpylons and begin to take aim on the undead flooding the streets!  Arrows fly, glowing white and striking zombies and shricken!  The sizzling flare of fire bolts or ice blasts spiral out from handpylons of the Rooks as they move along rooftops.
A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead.
A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead!
A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead!
Tendrils of electricity snake across the night sky, briefly illuminating the murky black clouds above.
Suddenly, the snap of a catapult behind the bone walls is heard and a loud WHOOSH erupts in the night!  But instead of rocks, fire or arrows being launched, it is instead a cluster of skeletal forms, twisted and wrapped together like a sphere of jagged bones that go soaring up into the sky and fall along East Ring Road!  When the bones land, they rise and form into pale skeletal hunters!
Dark hooded figures continue to run along rooftops, firing blessed arrows or handpylons at the undead in the streets!  Meanwhile, black-armored armigers fire bolts and arrows from their bulwark towers!
Emerging from the depth of night, a host of huge rotting griffins swoop into view, bolts of electricity circling around them!  They descend rapidly and send a violent volley of lightning bolts to attack the Rooks along the rooftops!
In response to the death griffins in the sky, the black-armored armigers roll out an imperial wagon outside of Moot Hall.  A blue-white flare flashes within the pylon on the wagon.  Someone nearby shouts, "Man the pylon!  Let's blow those bone birds out of the sky!"
Another catapult launches a ball of skeletal hunters that reassemble when they land on the Eastern Side of Town!  Soon they spark some white fires along the East side of town as the pale flames reach to the sky!
Dozens of death griffins swarm the sky above the town, firing blasts of lightning down at the rooftops, sending Rooks flying for cover, or unfortunate to be caught in the blast and falling away!
[the wall begins retaliating to the tune of 20-100 damage instead of 1-5, then eventually...]
Leafiara bashes at the large bone wall with her eonake warblade!
The large bone wall strikes out at Leafiara.
... 545 points of damage!
Leafiara drops dead at your feet!
Mynon bashes at the large bone wall with his glaes bastard axe!
The large bone wall strikes out at Mynon.
... 161 points of damage!
Stormyrain bashes at the large bone wall with her black alloy hatchet!
The large bone wall strikes out at Stormyrain.
... 511 points of damage!
Stormyrain drops dead at your feet!
Shinann gestures at a large bone wall.
The large bone wall strikes out at Shinann.
... 251 points of damage!
Shinann drops dead at your feet!
The wall begins to crack in some areas.
A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Roelon!  Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from his body!  The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.
A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Chaoswynd!  Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from his body!  The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.
A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Darcena!  Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from her body!  The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.
[the wall starts diseasing people to the tune of 10-90 per round instead of 1-2]
The wall weakens more.
A white-cloaked figure runs along some nearby rooftops, wisps of smoke still rising up from the death griffin's lightning bolts.  Moving side to side, the figure hurls blasts of force from its gauntlets, striking some griffins in the sky!
A death griffin swoops down and suddenly snatches up Chandrellia and lifts her up into the sky, digging its bloody talons into the flesh of her shoulders!  As the undead creature goes higher, a white-cloaked figure rushes along a nearby rooftop and fires a force blast, knocking the griffin to the side and Chandrellia falls and falls, landing on the West Ring Road, on the other side of the bone walls!
Vlashandra says, "We had so little conflict until you decided to take what was mine."
Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "It wasn't yours."
Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus says, "That statue was not yours."
Vlashandra waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.
Vlashandra says, "It's not here. We've searched."
Vlashandra says, "But it hasn't stopped me from skinning some Rooks."
Vlashandra smirks.
Vlashandra says, "I'll keep coming for it."
Speaking to Vlashandra, Raelee asks, "What were your plans for the statue?"
Vlashandra says, "I know what you plan to do."
Vlashandra asks, "You don't know?"
Vlashandra peers quizzically at Raelee.
Vlashandra asks, "You can't figure it out Magister?"
Vlashandra says, "I've your face, a shame you've not got my brain."
Vlashandra smiles crookedly.
Speaking to Vlashandra, Raelee asks, "To restore yourself?"
Vlashandra says, "I guess you will never know Magister...and that is a sweet punishment indeed."
Vlashandra pulls out a small vial of crackling cerulean fire from her robe.
Vlashandra smiles crookedly.
Vlashandra says, "Not yet...not yet."
Vlashandra smiles.
Vlashandra says, "I won't stop coming for the statue. But you hid it good enough for now."
Vlashandra asks, "But you can't use it if it's hidden forever, can you?"
Vlashandra asks, "Do me a favor?"
Vlashandra says, "Tell Lylia we sure still do miss Aralyte."
Vlashandra smiles crookedly.
Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Tell her yeself."
Raelee whispers something to Vlashandra.
Gutstorm sticks his tongue out at Vlashandra, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips!
Vlashandra says, "I will. When I carve her body up next."
Vlashandra smiles crookedly.
Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus asks, "Would not any particular hunk of bleakstone work for you?"
Vlashandra nods at Raelee.
Faint golden lines trace across Raelee's skin as she appears to focus...
Raelee gestures.
Pale, swirling mist begins to billow out from nothingness before you, and quickly coalesces into a small orb of shifting essence.  Suddenly, the orb expands and forms an elliptical portal of swirling blues and blacks, its edges shrouded in dancing blue-white mist.
Vlashandra looks over at Thrassus and shakes her head.
Vlashandra says, "Thanks Magister."
Vlashandra kisses Raelee on the forehead.
Vlashandra steps into the shifting portal.
Raelee flinches.


Quotables

Bristenn grouses, "Here I was just on something of an errand."
Bristenn offhandedly notes, "And you have forty-five some odd assorted undead running amok in your settlement."
Bristenn dryly mentions, "Forty-seven, now."
Speaking dryly to Bristenn, Lylia remarks, "I may have noticed."
[General] Leafiara asks, "How is the north wall?"
Speaking drunkenly to a large bone wall, Gutstorm slurs, "How are yooz?"
[General] Gutstorm thinks, "It no reply."

Bracing for Battle

[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 Havitaja disk, the Varnock disk, the Viva disk, the Ordol disk, the Zhendu disk, the Galohama disk, the Randsford disk, the Bakarus disk, a massive snowy white tiger, a large acorn, a smoky fire wyrdling, the earth brown Eatos disk, the Roelon disk, the Vaemyr disk, the Nicolesh disk, the Lowqon disk, the cauldron-shaped Zhagen disk, a fat black cat, the Kippe disk, an amber-eyed tawny range wolf, the Oulaga disk, a red forest fox, the Kuromadoushi disk, the Raincail disk, the Neithan disk, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the Nahlver disk, the Shachath disk, the Guarrin disk, the Mynon disk, the ivy-trimmed Arynth disk dotted with clusters of Imaera's Lace, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, the Perivan disk, a black-eared red and grey fox that is sitting, the Dazgarst disk, a gold-crowned feisty royal penguin, the Archales disk, a billowing misty grey scorpion hovering in mid-air, a mistwood serving cart with some stuff on it, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin and some stone benches with some stuff on it.

Also here: Havitaja who is sitting, Varnock, Viva, Ordol, Zhendu, Lord Galohama, Lord Randsford, Bakarus, Anddrew, Quartermaster Tsarok, Roelon, Lord Jorlax, Hours, Eatos, Bernadette, High Lady Rendena who is sitting, Elyndaya, Vaemyr, Nicolesh, Lowqon, Zhagen, Korvvin, Kippe, Bellaja, Grummis, Oulaga, Kuromadoushi, Raincail, Great Lord Yavs, The Notorious Leafiara, Nahlver, Shachath, Guarrin, Sir Mynon, Arynth, Lord Perivan, Akenna, Sir Cryheart, Dazgarst, Pukk, Novarian, Warchief Archales, Ruol, Sorrowful

Some townspeople wander by, "...and I heard they all intend not to hand over this....this statue or what not, so we best get ready because we all know that...." Their voices trail off as they walk out of range.

Leafiara says, "Our numbers look decent enough so far, but more would be nice..."

Yavs raspily says, "Uh oh."

Viva says, "Townsfolk seem to not like the fact that we're not handin over that statue..."

Yavs raspily says, "Everyone stay safe."

[General] Darcena thinks, "I left my rolton wool overcoat in a locker somewhere. It'd better not snow too hard."

Leafiara says, "Amos has probably been spreading rumors again and is out to prove a point."

Leafiara says, "Which is why we'll need to split into multiple groups to make sure we can protect different areas of town simultaneously."

Yavs raspily says, "For sure."

Vaemyr asks, "Who's leadin the defense groups?"

Black-armored armigers multiple in number along the bulwark towers near the center of town, arrows drawn, eyes to the west and all over the town.

Pukk recites:

"Everybody join Cryheart!"

Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "No, wait... not everybody."

Martyle quietly asks, "Again?"

Pukk asks, "Not everybody?"

Martyle quietly says, "Can't you all just talk it out with murder like adults."

Leafiara recites:

"Forming a separate group! Vlashandra's familiar with our strategies already, so concentrating all power into a single group is probably exactly what she expects!"

Pukk exclaims, "You don't make these changes without telling me!"

[General] Dergoatean scoffs, "Armigers!"

Speaking to Leafiara, Evii informs, "I'll keep the bodies coming back."

Pukk recites:

"Everybody join Leafi then join Cryheart, then join Leafi again"

Cryheart says, "Then join Pukk."

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk says, "No hard feelings. She is prettier."

Havitaja asks, "Should we expect the shenanigans to be aimed for the older folks?"

Leafiara recites:

"Join Sir Cryheart or me! We'll need to protect multiple areas!"

Speaking deeply to Cryheart, Roelon says, "Ye mean smooch Pukk."

Speaking to Havitaja, Leafiara says, "If you're not ready for the front lines, the archery towers are perfectly suitable for aiding with ballista fire."

Adelynn hesitantly asks, "What seems to be going on?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "I'm with you."

Roelon deeply says, "The towers should be well stocked."

Bernadette softly says, "Cap'ns."

Viva says, "Heading to the towers."

Cryheart says, "Trouble."

Zhagen says, "I hope everyone got invokeed by the voker."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "And those of you unfamillar with the Lich King....let me just say, blessed weapons are the way to go tonight."

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Mayer Leafi, to maintain da line of succession, me request to hide till dish all blowsh over."

Speaking to Roelon, Randsford says, "Just say the word if you need us."

Speaking in Giantman to Guarrin, Darcena says something you don't understand.

Speaking to Roelon, Xainthrax says, "The word is meat-puppet."

[General] Dwi thinks, "Also...gimme da keys ye gots stashed away."

Speaking deeply to Randsford, Roelon says, "Let me know if ye need mah aid, ah will seek ye out."

Speaking in Giantman to Darcena, Guarrin says something you don't understand.

Speaking to herself, Stormyrain mutters, "What the damnation am I carrying anyway."

Speaking to Randsford, Xainthrax says, "The first step is acceptance."

[General] Aized asks, "Anybody ever see a point of elemental instability before?"

Darcena takes a bite of her raw lamb chop.

Darcena murmurs, "This is delicious."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "I expect them to come for me in particular. Since I'm technically the one who stole it."

Arynth says, "Excellent."

Speaking to Darcena, Akenna says, "No use going into battle hungry."

Marletto asks, "Aren't we all just meat puppets with spirits pulling our strings?"

[General] Ysharra thinks, "I see instability everywhere."

Speaking to Hapenlok, Leafiara says, "Likewise, if Amos wants to make a move I'd expect it to center near me."

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "Wersh-mate Dwi, point da cannons at da town, if da emeniesh breach it, we will unleash hell!"

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Aye aye!"

[General] Lazaryth thinks, "Very droll, Ysharra."

Speaking to Hapenlok, Leafiara asks, "The group seeking danger we are, eh?"

From nearby, you hear Dergoatean yell, "Armigers!"

Speaking to a black-eared red and grey fox, Akenna says, "You stay here."

[General] Faerinn asks, "You are in the Landing, yes?"

[General] Viva thinks, "Tower windows are closed as of yet, perhaps the guard is not aware of the forthcoming issues, but I shall show you how to use the ballista."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "You know, all this aggression is misplaced, if you want to target someone, Vlashandra, target me. And me alone. I'm the one who ripped that statue from its mounting and took it from you."

[General] Aized thinks, "Hmm, well there's one in Icemule that just appeared."

[General] Varnock thinks, "Ballistae should be ready."

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Shush...Imma loadin two balls inna dis one!"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "It's true, Hap has big hands."

Marletto says, "For all we know her retribution could come in the form of candy golems."

[General] Cassis thinks, "Stories say they are gateways to the elemental confluence, I have never been myself."

[General] Arianiss thinks, "The instabilities are entrances into the elemental confluence. If you're asking what they are, you're not ready to go in one."

Marletto says, "But undead is a good bet."

Speaking to Rendena, Pukk says, "You better join Cryheart. They are going to defend the town."

Leafiara says, "She has used flesh golems before, but she probably has access to undead forces too."

Lazaryth says, "I'm not here to defend the town. Just Darcena."

[General] Dergoatean exclaims, "Dwi, there are children!"

As armigers man the bulwark towers, several dozen more armigers flood into the street corners surrounding the center of town. They take position, weapons drawn, eyes to the street, as they hold the line around the bulwark towers, creating a safe haven all around Town Square Central.

Rendena softly says, "I thought I was with Cryheart."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Stone ones, too. I learned a few tricks in my later years."

[General] Aized thinks, "Wouldn't dream of it. Sounds like something best left alone."

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Dey needs to hide!"

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Children are a myth."

Pukk says, "Oh good."

Yavs recites raspily:

"Things might get crazy around here. If you aren't prepared for that, hunker down here and we'll keep you safe."

Vaemyr says, "Of course Amos only cares about the merchant area of town."

Stormyrain says, "..I can appreciate that move on the armigers' side."

[General] Faerinn thinks, "Well it looks like the Armigers have everything covered."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian says, "Unless they hit us too."

Speaking to his black ora no-dachi, Bakarus says, "You feast this eve."

Leafiara reiterates, "Now, as mentioned before... Vlashandra's familiar with our usual tactics. She even mocked us about them months ago when we were planning to defend against whatever came out of her portal."

Pukk recites:

"Yavs is saying, quit the yackin and more whackin and no slackin"

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain says, "I would hope the Consortium doesn't make that choice."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian says, "Not yet. not tonight. They want the image for now."

Leafiara says, "So we'll need to be mobile and ready to change strategies on a coin, I'd think."

Adelynn hesitantly asks, "Does this work?"

Slipping in and out of alleyways, a lone white-cloaked figure moves amidst the light snowfall, prowling the streets.

In a fair imitation of Archales, Pukk exclaims, "Guard the flanks!"

Cryheart says, "Rone."

Vaemyr says, "Even Rone is about."

Leafiara says, "Rone's always about, lately."

In a botched imitation, Pukk exclaims, "Everybody watch Cryheart's flank!"

Lazaryth says, "Guard the flank steaks."

Whirlin asks, "What's attacking?"

Speaking to Whirlin, Pukk says, "Yes."

Leafiara says, "Vlashandra."

Leafiara says, "So probably golems or undead or both."

Speaking to Whirlin, Puptilian says, "And most likely undead."

Cryheart says, "Vlashandra..and perhaps undead or dead."

Speaking to Whirlin, Pukk says, "Undead."

Ycelacie curiously asks, "Do we know what is happening?"

Darcena asks, "As bait?"

Cryheart says, "Trouble."

[Realm] Hapenlok thinks, "You know, Slim. If she goes through with this, you'll never get it back. So, keep that in mind, and put your dog on a leash."

Vaemyr whispers to the group, "I feel like I'm in the suicide squad."

[Realm] Hapenlok thinks, "Your only warning."

Speaking to Ycelacie, Leafiara says, "Amazingly enough, for once we actually do. An attack from Vlashandra."

Dergoatean whispers to the group, "Are... are there squads that aren't for suicide?"

Cryheart says, "Vlashandra wants her statue back."

Pukk yells, "Armigers! Darcena says that she will take you all with one hand tied behind her back!"

Speaking to Cryheart, Hapenlok says, "Her fault for buggering off when the Knave's forces found her bolthole."

Speaking to Cryheart, Hapenlok says, "And for not warding it against what i did."

Dergoatean whispers to the group, "Are armigers on the menu tonight, too?"

Pukk says, "I told them."

Darcena says, "If you get me in trouble with Amos, Pukk, I will flay the skin off your body one tiny piece at a time."

Leafiara recites:

"Sir Cryheart's group for greater safety in numbers, or my group for extra mobility! Extra groups would be helpful too if you can muster the forces, but that's up to you!"

Speaking to Darcena, Pukk says, "I love it when you flirt like that."

Leafiara whispers to the group, "They are if they attack us, which they might very well since I'm leading."

Leafiara whispers to the group, "Anything could happen."

Leafiara whispers to the group, "They're probably not fond of Hap either."

Akenna sighs, "It's going to be icy."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian says, "Think I'll walk around a bit."

Guarrin offhandedly mentions, "Typically evaluating the field is useful."

Kippe whispers something to Akenna.

Stormyrain asks, "Did you get a chance to see the Lich King the other night?"

Leafiara whispers to the group, "Be on the watch for prisms and other troubles."

Berkana says, "Oh, hold that thought."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "Honestly, if you come to the ...Crux of the matter, no pun intended, I'm pretty much the one who stole that damn statue. You were all just meat shields."

Ycelacie confusedly asks, "Who are leading the groups?"

Cryheart says, "Leafiara, and I, that I know of."

Leafiara says, "Whirlin is also out there somewhere leading a smaller group, and I believe Pup is scouting."

Whirlin says, "Haven't seen anything yet."

Leafiara says, "Either way... we'll be ready."

Bakarus says, "The armigers are certainly ready for a fight."

Cryheart says, "I imagine smaller groups will form eventually."

Marletto says, "As we die and can't find you."

Darcena yells, "Didn't even say hi."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "So, you know. I'm going to do something selfless, if I can."

Darcena says, "So rude."

Dergoatean whispers to the group, "Glad to join the special forces tonight, though I may split off for scouting from time to time."

Cryheart says, "Whirlin has a group."

Pukk says, "I'm not rude. I'm just really handsome."

Yaristen asks, "Who do I need to join?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "Maybe I'll put my life in her hands. It's not like I'm going to find any answers in River's Rest."

Leafiara says, "I don't expect Vlashandra to be bold enough to show her face, but if she actually does... aiming to capture her so she can't pull back and try this again another time would be ideal."

Dergoatean whispers to the group, "As for prisms and the like, shall we all scatter separately if we see them?"

[General] Yardie thinks, "Not that it matters much from the three brothers, but good luck Landing."

Speaking amusedly to Leafiara, Darcena asks, "Her face or Raelee's?"

Leafiara whispers to the group, "Probably for the best if we do, yeah, and then give a yell."

Whirlin says, "All quiet."

Speaking cautiously to Darcena, Leafiara says, "I think her current Raelee face might be melting. She seems to want a new one."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says something you don't understand.

[General] Yardie asks, "Try to keep the docks clear so we don't die upon arrival please?"

[General] Bakarus thinks, "Perhaps this eve there will be no conflict."

[General] Akenna asks, "...uhm, we'll try?"

Arynth affably offers, "I am quite capable of scouting the area if need be."

[General] Hapenlok teases, "You new here?"

[General] Yardie thinks, "If cooler heads prevail."

Speaking to Ycelacie, Greycrown says, "You're supposed to avoid me, not ignore me."

[General] Faerinn thinks, "I feel confident that the Consortium will protect all of us private citizens from harm in this conundrum they created."

Hapenlok says, "Nope. Not happening. I'm going to try something."

Berkana whispers something to Kippe.

[General] Raincail thinks, "Tell that to the armiger army surrounding the square."

Darcena impatiently says, "So far she's all talk."

Speaking to Draccor, Greycrown says, "Yet she's still been breathing the entire time."

Whirlin says, "Well, that seems promising."

Kippe whispers something to Berkana.

Speaking darkly to Greycrown, Draccor asks, "Lets keep it that way for once hmm?"

Speaking to Draccor, Greycrown says, "That's not what I was promised."

Speaking darkly to Greycrown, Draccor says, "I told you I would handle it internally."

Xainthrax says, "The square is entirely surrounded with armigers."

[General] Thrassus thinks, "The armigers are defending the Town Square at least."

Speaking to Draccor, Greycrown says, "And I'm pointing out you haven't."

Leafiara whispers to the group, "Do we have a bard with us?"

Berkana whispers something to Raincail.

Cyar whispers to the group, "Aye."

Speaking to Leafiara, Darcena explains, "He said she'd be here on the Day of the Huntress. I waited all day."

Speaking darkly to Greycrown, Draccor says, "This is not the time for it."

Pukk says, "I think Xorus is checking her wrist to see if her blood is sweet."

Speaking to Leafiara, Darcena says, "Now it's Feastday. Still no whiner."

Speaking to Darcena, Hapenlok says, "Just remember something, Slim's utterly nuts."

Speaking to Darcena, Whirlin says, "When your goddess turns your back on you... find a new goddess."

Speaking in Faendryl, Dergoatean says something you don't understand.

Speaking to Darcena, Hapenlok says, "You can't really trust a lot of what he says."

Speaking to Xorus, Pukk asks, "It's like wine, sweeter with age?"

[General] Faerinn thinks, "Hooray the businesses are safe."

Speaking to Pukk, Xorus agrees, "Mine is sweeter."

Draccor darkly says, "I will make sure it is done."

Speaking to Whirlin, Darcena says, "I don't have a goddess."

Raincail quietly says, "You know, the rain.... I can't hardly feel it."

The voice of Greycrown says, "Please let me know ahead of time."

Speaking to Xorus, Pukk says, "Too old."

Darcena mutters, "That's giving them far too much power."

The voice of Greycrown says, "I'd like to be able to confirm."


Ultimatum

[General] Vlashandra asks, "You won't end this easily, will you?"

Xorus says, "Turned to vinegar."

Draccor darkly says, "Fair enough."

[General] Darcena cheerfully thinks, "Nope."

[General] Leafiara curiously asks, "Do we ever?"

[General] Faerinn thinks, "Turn yourself in and it will be."

[General] Puptilian thinks, "We ask you the same question. You stay away and it will be easier for you."

[General] Leafiara inquires, "What do you even want with it?"

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Evening Vlashandra, nice of you to say hello."

[General] Thrassus asks, "Why do you even need the statue, anyway?"

[General] Vlashandra thinks, "I was hoping you'd say that. You know my love of pain."

Cryheart says, "Vlashandra on the thought."

Darcena grumbles, "I'd rather not hear her voice echoing all around in my bones."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "You know something, Vlashandra, as a fellow con artist, I thought you'd appreciate that heist."

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Ahh a masochist."

Berkana says, "I don't know why we put in so much energy."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "You made it too easy for me, though."

[General] Pukk thinks, "Vlashandra, Hapenlok says that you can take him instead of the statue and we can call it even."

[General] Arianiss thinks, "I know this quaint little spot out near Ta'Illistim that you might like..."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "You'd better hope you haven't annoyed Barnom too much for him to bring you back to life."

Raincail quietly says, "I wonder what my King will command me."

Raincail quietly says, "If anything."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "You know, Pukk. Much as I hate it when you put words in my mouth, that was my next remark."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "You want a face? There's always this handsome one."

Speaking to Raincail, Darcena says, "He was falling apart the other night. Couldn't seem to articulate much, really."

[General] Faerinn thinks, "You'll have to find a different statue to do weird stuff to."

[General] Pukk asks, "Wait..what?"

Raincail quietly says, "It has been so, so very long."

[General] Lylia thinks, "It is not your statue."

Berkana whispers something to Raincail.

Speaking to Tsarok, Pietra says, "Be awake."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "As the primary person responsible for the redistribution of your property, which we presently need more than you do, I'm willing to surrender myself. If you'll call off your golems and zombies."

[General] Lylia asks, "Whose property?"

Heavy fog begins to creep along the streets of town, hugging the cobblestones like a blanket of rolling ash.

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "This is really one extra fight we don't need."

Vaemyr says, "Uh great... fog."

Cryheart says, "Here it comes."

Vaemyr says, "She's gonna try and make us fight the armigers I bet."

Cryheart says, "Get ready."

Vaemyr says, "Or have them attack us."

Speaking curiously to Vaemyr, Leafiara asks, "...how would she do that?"

Rendena softly says, "Ok."

Perivan says, "Look lively."

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "Making it too hard to see."

Hapenlok says, "Well, I did kill quite a few of them, she probably raised them up."

Hapenlok says, "So, when they mix with the live ones."

Speaking to her Elanthian Comfort, Berkana says, "Away you go, you might get spilled, or worst, dropped."

Hapenlok asks, "Do i need to finish this scenario?"

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Vlashandra...come claim it."

Arynth reports, "East side of the river is clear, no sign of activity from...the brass tower."

Darcena says, "I wish I had finished more dinner before this farce."

Berkana asks, "Cookie, Owly?"

Ycelacie says, "Square is surrounded by armigers..."

Rendena softly says, "Why am I..."

Leafiara says, "No use waiting around... the armigers already have this area surrounded."

[General] Lylia thinks, "We have all forgotten, it seems, that the statue was given to me. And I do not think I wish you to have it, Vlashandra. You have not done anything to earn such a valuable gift. I have other things to give you, though."

Speaking to Ycelacie, Xainthrax asks, "Don't you feel so safe?"

Thrassus says, "The armigers are guarding the square."

Dergoatean scoffs, "Armigers!"

Speaking to Lylia, Darcena asks, "Pain?"

[General] Dwi thinks, "Gutstorm aint fergots...he's still in lub."

Speaking to Lylia, Darcena asks, "Death?"

Raincail quietly says, "The armigers guard themselves."

Speaking to Lylia, Darcena asks, "Spit upon her face?"

Leafiara recites:

"Moving to West Ring Road shortly! Join Sir Cryheart or me!"

Draccor recites darkly:

"I can make all the Armigers around us fall over if ya wish"

Arynth reports, "The ring roads are clear, as is shanty town."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Pukk asks, "Okay, so what is up with the doorknob you are carrying?"

Darcena grumbles, "They all seem worthy gifts."

[General] Pietra thinks, "Then get his stinky butt to town square."

Speaking to Darcena, Lylia says, "She shall not have a face to spit upon."

Speaking brightly to Lylia, Darcena exclaims, "Even better!"

Speaking to Pukk, Kippe says, "He drops it on his foes."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Pukk asks, "Oh, so you can use it for that?"

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "Me called dibsh on it and me shpect da sacred meaning of dibsh to be honored!"

[General] Evii thinks, "I can come down there."

Speaking to Lylia, Darcena asks, "Are you going to burn it off?"

Pukk says, "The doorknob is blessed and will kill undead right away."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "I'm going to try to parley."

Akenna quietly says, "Well, are we going to find her? Vengeance roars her name and I'm looking forward to showing her."

Leafiara recites:

"Moving west in advance. Good luck out there, all, wherever the fight takes us this eve!"

Speaking to Pukk, Pietra asks, "So I can go home?"

Pukk says, "It will knock them out."

[Wehnimer's, West Ring Rd.]

The lane to the east leads into the heart of town and the main square. The back wall of the grocer's shop borders the road, its wide door surrounded by piles of rough gunny sacks and stacks of wooden crates, some empty, others still to be unpacked. You also see the Kaeynne disk, the Thaeren disk, the Whirlin disk, a blue-eyed midnight black wolf, a large bone wall, a black-armored muscular armiger and a tall mithril postern gate.

Also here: Grand Lord Thaeren, Kaeynne, Grand Lord Whirlin

Arynth, Gillien, Adelynn, Yaristen, Pietra, Tsarok, Ycelacie, Dergoatean, Cyar, Balley, Roelon, Vaemyr, Dazgarst and Pukk followed.

>n

A large bone wall blocks further travel in that direction.

Leafiara musingly says, "Oh, hm."

A large bone wall rises along West Ring Road.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Where me girl at?"

Lazaryth says, "Hm."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Vlashandra appears to have constructed a wall..."

Vaemyr says, "Well that's not good."

Dergoatean traces a sign that contorts in the air while he forcefully incants a dark invocation...

Dergoatean channels at a large bone wall.

A large bone wall becomes a bit unsubstantial, and a shrill noise pierces the air as pieces of it simply disappear into nothingness!

The large bone wall strikes out at Dergoatean.

... 2 points of damage!

A dull grey beam snakes out toward a large bone wall, but dissipates upon impact.

Leafiara bashes at the large bone weall with her eonake warblade!

[assume we're casting at and bashing at the wall for literally the entire night and it's retaliating against most hits; these are just for example]

Vaemyr traces a sign that contorts in the air while he forcefully incants a dark invocation...

Vaemyr gestures at a large bone wall.

A large bone wall becomes a bit unsubstantial, and a shrill noise pierces the air as pieces of it simply disappear into nothingness!

The large bone wall strikes out at Vaemyr.

... 1 point of damage!

Dergoatean says, "Disease."

Speaking to Cryheart, Guarrin says, "Let's take a look." [OOC note: This is from eyes on Cryheart's group, but I completely lost track of who was in whose group and it changes throughout the night. So if any dialogue seems odd or surprising that nobody responded to some comment, it's probably because they didn't see it either in the noise or because they weren't in that group.]

[General] Cryheart asks, "Wall?"

[General] Leafiara thinks, "It's straight west from the square. We're breaking it down now."

[General] Umbazi asks, "A wall around what?"

Berkana says, "Here it comes..."

Arynth asks, "Where did this come from?"

Lazaryth dryly says, "I guess that means Sleepy can't help us."

Speaking heartily to a large bone wall, Dwi asks, "Why ye all smashin dat?"

Dergoatean says, "We're doing to have a lot of work to do."

[General] Havitaja asks, "But did she make Icemule pay for it?"

[General] Leafiara notes, "...and it releases disease."

Vaemyr says, "Just gonna take a bit to work through."

Pukk says, "Ouch."

Dergoatean says, "Or hopefully, Cryheart's folks will have a lot of work to do."

Raincail quietly asks, "The ..... other Landing beyond?"

Adelynn asks, "Diseased?"

[General] Darcena thinks, "There's a corresponding wall on North Ring Road as well."

Dergoatean says, "Scouting."

[General] Faerinn thinks, "This sounds suspiciously like vigilantism. Maybe leave the Consortium to clean up their own messes."

A second bone wall rises on the west side of town.

[General] Thrassus thinks, "Interesting asthetics on your wall."

A local guard runs by yelling, "Invasion, invasion! Open the towers! Any and all archers, to arms, to arms!"

Pietra asks, "We're fighting walls?"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Observation tower and Merchant's guild are closed off via bone walls."

Speaking wryly to Pietra, Leafiara says, "Apparently."

Pietra says, "This is new."

[Realm] Puptilian thinks, "South road so far is clear. Checking east side of the town."

Leafiara yells, "Your diseases are rather weak, Vlashandra!"

Pukk yells, "Roblar, come and smash the wall!"

Vaemyr says, "Reminds me of a few weeks ago up in Icemule."


Wall Guardians

A lumbering hideous shrickhen rushes in, snarling and gibbering!

A lumbering hideous shrickhen rushes in, snarling and gibbering!

Vaemyr says, "There were a bunch of thorn walls we had to break."

Xainthrax asks, "How are you damaging the wall?"

[combat]

Ycelacie encouragingly says, "Good work everyone, keep it up."

The voice of Aurien asks, "Someone tried Bone Shatter?"

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Sizable group handling the wall that's west of the square."

[combat]

[General] Shinann thinks, "Blocked off here too."

[cvery extended ombat]

[General] Thrassus thinks, "Beware stiking the wall, it will inflict disease upon you."

[General] Umbazi thinks, "I thought it caused disease."

[General] Viva thinks, "Shrickens on north part of west wing road, and a dead Thaeren."

[Realm] Puptilian thinks, "East side is clear so far."

Raincail quietly says, "Hail the king..."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Bone walls seem to be in those two places only? Blocking off west ring road."

[General] Leafiara asks, "How many are at the other wall?"

Guarrin says, "More north."

Cryheart says, "Oof."

[General] Dergoatean exclaims, "Twilight Hall is inaccessible!"

[General] Dergoatean exclaims, "Shrickens!"

Leafiara says, "Okay, Cryheart's group broke off..."

[General] Thrassus thinks, "There are gates in the north and west, so it would seem that she intends to prevent anyone from escaping."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "North ring road."

Ycelacie says, "Go north I think."

Leafiara says, "Can't."

Leafiara says, "The wall is in the way."

Ycelacie says, "Oh..."

Speaking to a large bone wall, Pietra says, "You're really gross."

[General] Viva thinks, "Also patchwork flesh golems."

[combat]

Raincail quietly says, "A barrier from below."

[combat]

Leafiara incredulously asks, "Is this the extent of her power? A few weak undead and a wall or two?"

[extended combat]

[General] Akenna thinks, "They are undead."

Cryheart says, "Moving."

[General] Gespry thinks, "Bad news."

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Arioss says, "Ouch."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Wall."

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Arioss says, "I should've known I was too young for this."

[combat]

[General] Xecnephias thinks, "How bad is it in the Landing you can't even protect Rendena."

Speaking to Lylia, Xorus says, "Animating an animate."

Bellaja asks, "Where did these things come from?"

Bakarus says, "Clever."

The ghostly voice of Arynth says, "Lovely."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Amos, your armigers are useless."

Behind the towering bone walls, the tip of bloodstained wooden catapults come into view.

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "I am nothing if not thrifty."

Lazaryth says, "Hm."

Puptilian says, "Oh hell."

The ghostly voice of Arioss says, "Ohhh they brought siege engines."

Puptilian says, "Bash the wall down."

Ycelacie exclaims, "Oh no!"

[General] Hapenlok exclaims, "Get inside! NOW!"

Bellaja says, "I feel I've come to town at a bad time."

Cryheart says, "Attack the wall."

[General] Varnock thinks, "Catapults."

Thrassus says, "Oh, it looks like she's put some actual thought into this."

Xainthrax asks, "How are you hitting the wall?"

[General] Roblar thinks, "No one messed wid ma grocer."

[General] Hapenlok exclaims, "Square's not safe. Take cover!"

Xainthrax says, "My lance is ineffective."

Stormyrain says, "Bash it."

Speaking to Bellaja, Bakarus says, "Perhaps a bad time for a tour."

Xainthrax says, "It's undead bane."

Lazaryth says, "I've no idea."

The ghostly voice of Arynth asks, "Any chance we'll be evacuated to town square?"

[General] Leafiara asks, "Do we have people at both walls?"

[General] Guarrin thinks, "Yes."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Cryheart group is at north ring wall."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Excellent."

The ghostly voice of Rendena softly says, "Next time I pay Draccor 200 million silvers."

Draccor darkly says, "Ok."

Leafiara recites:

"Bash at the wall, Phase it, generally break it down!"

Pukk says, "I can't bash..."

[General] Lazaryth thinks, "Curious if anyone's gone out to get a look at those catapaults."

Raincail quietly asks, "It's familiar, no?"

Pietra says, "Bunch more of those things between here and town center."

Leafiara asks, "Bunch more of what things?"

Speaking to a large bone wall, Bellaja says, "I think I recognize this work."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Disease from the wall appears to be quite weak, thus far."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "True Goat, but it'll catch you if you're not careful."

A viscous sphere of flame arcs into the area!

The viscous sphere of flame impacts the ground nearby, dispersing fiery globules all over!

[people getting set on fire]

Thrassus says, "This wall is quite resilient."

[General] Xecnephias thinks, "Don't lick the wall Goat."

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "That looks awful."

[General] Havitaja thinks, "Exterior of town around the North gate seems clear for now."

Guarrin says, "Diseased."

Asben says, "Ow."

Ycelacie says, "Yelp."

Leafiara offhandedly admits, "I have to say, I don't know what I expected from her, but something a bit more impressive than this."

Vaemyr asks, "Can we move?"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Leafi group on fire."

Leafiara musingly says, "Or... that."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Someone backed us out to Voln. We're fine for the moment."

Vaemyr says, "Ugg."

[General] Nickonai thinks, "Something is stunning people just inside the west gate."

Roelon deeply says, "Ugh.. indeed."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Entering the fray again shortly."

Yaristen says, "Oof."

Yaristen says, "I uh."

Yaristen says, "Badly."

Vaemyr says, "Well now that we're outside maybe we can take out those catapults."

[General] Dergoatean asks, "Mayor, could you un-unlocate yourself?"

Speaking to Balley, Pukk exclaims, "Arise chicken, arise!"

[General] Leafiara admits, "Could probably use at least one more healer in this group."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Yes, just a moment..."

Speaking helpfully to Pukk, Yaristen suggests, "Fly chicken fly?"

Sorlu comments, "Ouch."

Pukk says, "There."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "And done."

[General] The ghost of Martyle thinks, "Shrikhen and ghouls are wandering around on Talon Street."

Speaking to Pukk, Yaristen adds, "You own the sky?"

Bellaja disgruntledly complains, "This is one of my favorite jackets, too."

Guarrin says, "Lost Shinann. Think we're short on healers."

Pukk says, "I was hot."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "I'll see to the Shricken momentairly."

[General] Leafiara appreciatively thinks, "Thank you."

Yaristen says, "Missing an eye, multiple broken arms..."

Pukk says, "Me."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Pardon me; I need to see a man about a shricken."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Currently gathered at Voln, reassembling on the battlefield in a few."

Puptilian asks, "Can we get to Stephos' house from the tunnels?"

[General] Darcena asks, "Could someone drag me out of this perpetual arm fest I'm in?"

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain asks, "Used to be able to?"

Puptilian says, "We need to get those catapults destroyed."

[General] Darcena thinks, "I can't move or do anything and I'm just slowly dying for minutes now."

Puptilian says, "I'm going to look."

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain says, "May be worth a look."

Puptilian says, "Be back."

[General] Lazaryth asks, "Where are you?"

[General] Darcena thinks, "Talon St."

Akenna says, "Well, I'm surprised I survived that."

[General] Havitaja thinks, "Aw crap, roltons incoming."

Cryheart says, "We cannae attack the wall with sanct up."

Leafiara recites:

"We'll reconvene and destroy that wall as soon as we're good to go!"

Pukk says, "I need a cheap weapon." [to bash with]

Leafiara recites:

"All ready?"

Guarrin says, "Be back."

Along North Ring Road, the ground breaks open and patchwork zombies claw out into view! YOUNGER armigers and town guards rush off to clash with them!

[General] Varnock thinks, "Zombies on north ring."

[General] Raelee thinks, "Vlashandra... I know you are listening. Independent from this posturing, I want to have a discussion. Let us speak."

Akenna says, "Through the door... it goes to the square."

Speaking to Balley, Pukk says, "Stay with the group."

[Wehnimer's, West Ring Rd.]

The lane to the east leads into the heart of town and the main square. The back wall of the grocer's shop borders the road, its wide door surrounded by piles of rough gunny sacks and stacks of wooden crates, some empty, others still to be unpacked. You also see the Raincail disk, a crackling fire, a large bone wall and a tall mithril postern gate.

Also here: Raincail

Tsarok, Chandrellia, Pukk, Dazgarst, Vaemyr, Roelon, Cyar, Yaristen and Balley followed.

[General] Arynth thinks, "Leave the zombies to those less trained."

Raincail quietly asks, "What am I, if not bound?"

Leafiara slowly asks, "...okay, who sancted?"

Vaemyr says, "Sancted."

Chandrellia softly exclaims, "Wasn't me I just got here!"

Balley softly says, "Not me."

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

Pukk recites:

"Stay in formation

and watch your flanks

especially Balley's"

Bernadette softly says, "Thanks."

[combat]

Puptilian says, "No."

[combat]

Puptilian says, "Guess not."

[combat]

Cryheart asks, "Who left the sanct up?"

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "To be fair, Raelee. I think the time for that's past."

Chandrellia softly says, "Help."

Leafiara slowly says, "Right then."

[combat]

[General] Neopuron thinks, "Every bloods...."

[extended combat]

Cryheart says, "Someone sancted." [over at their group; the combat's with Leafi's group at the moment; I think the sanct might have been put there by Kenstrom/Vlashandra, but not entirely sure]

Bristenn grouses, "Here I was just on something of an errand."

[combat]

[General] Xecnephias thinks, "What is attacking."


[combat]

Shinann asks, "Who?"

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "She's probably coming for you under the cover of all this. So put your back to a wall."

[combat]

[General] Raelee thinks, "No, it has not. The time for asking questions never passes."

[combat]

Bristenn offhandedly notes, "And you have forty-five some odd assorted undead running amok in your settlement."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Remove the sanct."

[combat]

Guarrin asks, "Are we ready to remove the sanct?"

[combat]

Bristenn dryly mentions, "Forty-seven, now."

[combat]

Speaking dryly to Bristenn, Lylia remarks, "I may have noticed."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "We hae catapults beyond the wall to destroy."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Okay..."

Speaking lightly to Kippe, Bristenn teases, "Behind me as usual, Master Kippe."

Ycelacie exclaims, "Wow!"

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Please remove the sanct."

[combat]

Speaking to Bristenn, Kippe teases, "It is where you prefer me."

[combat]

The large bone wall flails wildly to and fro.

The large bone wall strikes out at Guarrin.

... 4 points of damage!

[combat]

Speaking to a large bone wall, Guarrin says, "Uncalled for."

[General] Hapenlok asks, "Honestly, with all the forces at her disposal? To leave that statue unwarded and practically unguarded?"

[combat now in both groups, though Cryheart's moved away from the wall due to the sanct]

[General] Hapenlok asks, "And now she's mad at us?"

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Whoever created the sanct..come remove it."

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Your life, your face. I'd prefer that you didn't walk into her clutches."

[combat]

Berkana says, "Someone doesn't know the rules of engagement."

[extended combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Or failing that, I'd prefer that you didn't go alone."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "I'll go with: if i can."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "It's dangerous to go alone."

Lylia says, "If I had an abyran'sa..."

[General] Viva thinks, "These zombies don't seem to like to die."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian says, "No way to get over there that is open to me."

Bernadette softly asks, "Are we still sancted?"

Akenna says, "Yes."

Guarrin says, "Apparently."

[combat]

[General] Gnomoar asks, "Undie? Re-die? Lie still??"

[combat]

Chandrellia softly exclaims, "Awe come on! It's bone, Bone Shatter should work!"

Dark hooded figures rise up from the rooftops of Wehnimer's Landing, some with arrows nocked in bows, while others wield rune-etched handpylons and begin to take aim on the undead flooding the streets! Arrows fly, glowing white and striking zombies and shricken! The sizzling flare of fire bolts or ice blasts spiral out from handpylons of the Rooks as they move along rooftops.

[combat]

Speaking to Lylia, Xorus says, "They tried to set me on fire."

[combat]

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "I see they failed."

[combat]

[General] Viva thinks, "Err yes perhaps they like death too much."

[combat]

[General] Raelee asks, "Am I to be touched by the concern?"

[extended combat]

Vaemyr says, "It's almost gone."

[combat]

Speaking softly to Leafiara, Chandrellia says, "I'm just sayin, Bone Shatter should work well on this wall, it's bone."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Moving."

[combat]

Puptilian says, "Be back."

[combat]

[General] Xecnephias asks, "On my way to Landing, is the square safe?"

[combat]

[General] Markx thinks, "The roltons outside the gate have been imploded."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "If you were, I'd know there's something wrong with you. But like I said, you're the closest thing to a friend I've got these days."

[General] Evii thinks, "Only the Square."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Has the other wall been broken down?"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Sqaure is safe-ish, if you don't mind armigers."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Ok..let's find bigger ones." [Cryheart's group was wandering since the wall area was sancted, but that brought them to the lower level zombies]

Arynth wryly remarks, "Well then."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Still young."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean asks, "Is anyone inside House Twilight?"

Stormyrain says, "I mean..I could scare these back to the grave with a stern look."

[combat]

Bristenn neutrally mentions, "Something of a speciality of mine."

[extended combat]

Lylia dismissively says, "These are hardly worth the effort to lift a hand to."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Cryheart says, "Moving."

[General] Beldannon thinks, "So much health like normal."

[combat]

A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead.

[combat]

The voice of Tsarok quietly asks, "Demon?"

[General] Leafiara asks, "Sir Cryheart... is the wall you were all attacking still up?"

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "North Ring Road wall seems unattended."

[combat]

Pietra says, "Oh that sounds great."

[extended combat]

[General] Guarrin thinks, "Yes, the area was sancted."

[General] Leafiara curiously thinks, "...hmm."

[combat]

[General] Arynth exclaims, "North Ring Road is practically overrun with zombies, YOUNGER adventurers come to me and assist!"

Earthdiver asks, "No one singing Song of Power?"

[combat]

[General] Stormridden asks, "What does Younger mean here?"

Speaking to Cyar, Pukk says, "Show off."

Cryheart says, "Moving."

[combat]

[General] Arynth thinks, "Able to hold something enchanted eight times."

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Cyar says, "Hey hey."

[combat]

[General] Faerrow thinks, "Less... wrinkly."

[very extended combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Note that the golems at the north ring road wall are NOT younger. Don't head over there unless you've finished your profession's full course of basic training, I'd wager."

[combat and people getting set on fire]

A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead!

Pietra says, "Gillien Roll."

Gillien says, "I'm out."

[extended combat]

[General] Arynth thinks, "I am in front of the healer's tent, overwhelmed by zombies."

Bellaja says, "Goodness."

A high-pitch shriek pierces the night from far overhead!

Stormyrain says, "Not burning, this time."

Cryheart asks, "All ok?"

Stormyrain says, "..what was that."

Lazaryth says, "If folks are burning, push them down and roll them."

Leifa whispers to the group, "I'm here to save you all!"

Cryheart says, "We shall find out."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "...I hope those aren't what I think they are."

Raincail quietly says, "I've not seen a wall... flail...."

[General] Leafiara asks, "...what do you think they are?"

[combat]

Cryheart asks, "All set?"

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Mutated undead war griffins."

[combat]

Speaking to Lylia, Puptilian asks, "Do you have any Rook contacts still?"

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Moving slowly."

[combat]

[General] Nickonai thinks, "How do you kill those zombies? I hit them 50 times and they just don't die."

[combat]

[General] Pietra thinks, "That sounds lovely."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "...eh... dealt with worse." [referring to the griffin possiblity]

[combat]

[General] Arianiss thinks, "Hit them fifty more times."

[combat]

[General] Arynth thinks, "Just keep hitting them."

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Just keep hitting."

[General] Arynth thinks, "They are resilient, but they can be killed."

Lylia says, "I never had the Rook contacts people believed I did."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "I strongly advise you NOT to run from north gate to town square while this is going on, unless you're ready to put up very strong defenses on the way."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Meanwhile, still working on the wall west of the square."

Speaking to Lylia, Puptilian says, "I'm thinking of Alendrial."

[General] Nickonai thinks, "Then there were just too many."

Cryheart says, "Let us check if that sanct has gone."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Running in from West gate is nearly as bad."

Guarrin says, "Good call."

[combat]

Tendrils of electricity snake across the night sky, briefly illuminating the murky black clouds above.

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Are there any underground routes to get behind the walls, by chance?"

[combat]

Pukk asks, "That doesn't work either?"

[combat]

Shinann asks, "What is that?"

[combat]

Raincail quietly says, "The.... other Landing will open again."

[General] Gabnid thinks, "Burrow way, west tower."

Guarrin says, "There we go."

Cryheart says, "Ok..attack the wall."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "I think the nearest exit from the burrows is the bathhouse."

[combat]

Berkana says, "Thanks, I'll watch."

[combat]

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "I got your back, Pie."

Gillien says, "Can't bash the wall with that up."

Pietra says, "I know."

[combat]

Hapenlok says, "Part of me thinks I oughta go down and see if she's lurking in the catacombs."

Speaking softly to Pietra, Chandrellia says, "Would love to touch your hands."

Leafiara says, "Cryheart's group is back on the north wall."

The large bone wall strikes out at Darcena.

... 1 point of damage!

Speaking to a large bone wall, Darcena says, "Rude."

[combat]

Speaking to Lylia, Bellaja asks, "Who do these creations belong to?"

[combat]

Speaking to Bellaja, Lylia says, "I presume they are Vlashandra's, although I imagine she has claimed them from her owner, Barnom Slim."

[combat]

Suddenly, the snap of a catapult behind the bone walls is heard and a loud WHOOSH erupts in the night! But instead of rocks, fire or arrows being launched, it is instead a cluster of skeletal forms, twisted and wrapped together like a sphere of jagged bones that go soaring up into the sky and fall along East Ring Road! When the bones land, they rise and form into pale skeletal hunters!

Leafiara says, "Hmm..."

Lylia says, "I do not think she is anything without the man."

Speaking to Lylia, Bellaja says, "I thought that was all just rumor."

Pietra says, "Ew."

Vaemyr says, "East side."

Yaristen asks, "What are those?"

Hapenlok exclaims, "Oh, here we go!"

[combat]

Lazaryth asks, "Did you see those things?"

[combat]

Earthdiver says, "Pretty."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Need a group to break off to East Ring Road."

[combat]

[General] Thrassus thinks, "Now that's clever."

[combat]

[General] Varnock thinks, "Catapults just launched skeletal hunters in."

[combat]

Lylia says, "Which is about as disgusting a thing as I can say about a woman."

[combat]

Zhagen says, "East going to be swarming."

[combat]

Guarrin says, "Sounds like east Road is in trouble."

[combat]

Raincail quietly asks, "The past comes back to haunt us all, eh?"

[combat]

Darcena says, "I did, brother."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Cryheart's group is back at the north wall."

[combat]

From nearby, you hear Dwi yell, "Guard da corpse!"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Leafi's group remains at the west wall."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Who's on East Ring Road?"

[combat]

Speaking conflictedly to Lylia, Bellaja asks, "I don't know her, so I couldn't speak to her power, or... how?"

[combat]

[General] The ghost of Hapenlok thinks, "...what's left of me."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Hundreds of zombies on north ring."

Speaking softly to Lylia, Bellaja says, "His phylactery was destroyed."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Er, not any more. Heh."

Dark hooded figures continue to run along rooftops, firing blessed arrows or handpylons at the undead in the streets! Meanwhile, black-armored armigers fire bolts and arrows from their bulwark towers!

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Still a few to fight off, but not the mob any more."

[General] The ghost of Hapenlok thinks, "Look."

Lylia admits, "She is not without power. But all of it is in the service of her lich king. Or at least, that seemed to be the case..."

[extended combat]

Jara says, "Whee."

Guarrin says, "There we go."

[General] The ghost of Hapenlok thinks, "By my last remark, I meant that I was dead. I'm going to depart, though. We're going to need a warparty to take care of these."

[combat]

[General] The ghost of Hapenlok thinks, "These skeletons are guarding my body."

[combat]

Speaking to Bellaja, Lylia says, "She conjured him back."

[combat]

[General] Beldannon thinks, "The hunter swing decent and try and disarm."

[General] Yaristen asks, "Where are the skeletons?"

[combat]

Lylia confesses, "I do not know quite how."

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "East ring road."

[combat]

[General] Shinann asks, "Anyone on the east side of town?"

[combat]

Emerging from the depth of night, a host of huge rotting griffins swoop into view, bolts of electricity circling around them! They descend rapidly and send a violent volley of lightning bolts to attack the Rooks along the rooftops!

[General] Viva thinks, "Yes zombies over here by the docks."

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Ruh roh."

Cryheart asks, "Griffins?"

Zhagen says, "Oh no."

Leifa says, "Dirty birds."

Puptilian says, "Hmm."

[combat]

Puptilian says, "Be back."

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "I hate it when I'm right."

[combat]

[General] Grambles thinks, "I run outta mana before I kill even one zombie. This is a rough one."

[combat]

Raincail quietly says, "At least they dont have my face upon them..."

Speaking to herself, Stormyrain mutters, "I knew this was going to hurt."

[combat]

[General] Shinann asks, "Thank you. How about East Ring Road? Anyone there?"

[combat]

Leafiara recites:

"Shall we break to rescue the East Ring Road?" [but no one responds, so the Leafi group doesn't]

[combat]

Akenna says, "Pales."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "By my count 21 of us at north wall, and 11 at west."

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "I fell down. I'm going to try to take a group over there."

Darcena doubtfully asks, "Is this doing anything at all?"

Leafiara mutters, "I swear, times like this are when the militia captains drive me crazy the most. Cryheart's group actually has the numbers to split in half and take East Ring Road back."

Guarrin encourages, "Come on, keep at it."

[General] Shinann thinks, "Thank you."

Bristenn neutrally mentions, "Seems a large wall."

Cryheart says, "Aye."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Gillien is mopping things up on east ring."

Akenna says, "The acid takes time..."

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Heh."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "A big one."

Akenna says, "Fire doesn't work."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Roughly how dangerous are the enemies over there?"

[combat]

Bristenn comments, "And it's undead."

[combat]

Berkana says, "With some nasty properties to it."

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Extremely."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Hmm perhaps less dangerous than at the wall? But not sure yet."

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "I'm gonna focus on the wall."

In response to the death griffins in the sky, the black-armored armigers roll out an imperial wagon outside of Moot Hall. A blue-white flare flashes within the pylon on the wagon. Someone nearby shouts, "Man the pylon! Let's blow those bone birds out of the sky!"

Cryheart says, "It appears to be a living wall."

Leafiara musingly says, "Well, alright then."

Darcena says, "A living undead wall."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "I take that back, the hunters are well trained."

Raincail quietly says, "Just not bats...."

Goldstr says, "Never seen a wall fight back."

Vaemyr says, "It's hurt."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Leafiara asks, "Can you tell how hurt?"

[combat]

[General] Thrassus thinks, "It would be a good idea to start using that pylon I think."

[combat]

[General] Neopuron thinks, "Deep down, I am cheering on the bone birds..."

[extended combat]

Speaking to Lylia, Darcena says, "I admire your pragmatism in this moment."

[combat]

Raincail quietly says, "Wonder what's on the other side all are so eager to face."

[combat]

Darcena says, "Seems a better use of your time."

[combat]

Guarrin says, "Should aim the pylons at the walls."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Catapults."

Bristenn blandly remarks, "Undead griffin, potentially inbound."

[combat]

Shinann says, "You would think that Bone Shatter would work better on this."

[combat]

Speaking to Bristenn, Bellaja says, "That sounds like a whole mess."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Small band of 4 or so clearing out east ring, and doing well at it."

[very extended combat]

Bernadette softly says, "Yed tink me axe culd take a chunk out of it."

[combat]

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Cleared about 7 myself."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara appreciatively thinks, "Thank you. Keep us posted if the road gets too mobbed."

Bristenn notes, "Catapults to the southwest of us, as well."

[very, very, very extended combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Now it's about 15 of us at west wall and 20 at north."

Akenna says, "Well."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Note that the death griffins are NOT as fully trained as those as the wall."

[combat]

Akenna says, "I need to rest a momet or two."

[combat]

Speaking to Sorlu, Bellaja says, "They keep trying to trample us."

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "Damn thing."

Leafiara says, "So far so good here..."

Another catapult launches a ball of skeletal hunters that reassemble when they land on the Eastern Side of Town! Soon they spark some white fires along the East side of town as the pale flames reach to the sky!

Bellaja says, "More."

Leafiara curiously says, "Hmm."

Cryheart says, "Bah..fall wall."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Bringing buckets to east ring."

Leafiara curiously says, "Wonder what that portends."

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Seems exciting."

Raincail quietly says, "Death."

Cyar says, "Always."

Leifa says, "Gimme more to kill and I'll take your warrior juice."

[extended combat]

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "You bulliesh! sthop attackin Winshton!"

[very extended combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Unholy white fires on east ring."

[combat]

[General] Cryheart asks, "Any luck with that other wall?"

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Do the buckets work or are these more magical like the blood fires?"

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "The buckets seem to work."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Still working on the wall."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Buckets on the ground, grab em."

[people getting set on fire]

The voice of Pukk says, "Those arms kept grabbing me."

[General] Raelee thinks, "It is curious, whatever transformation process she underwent... she even casts fire as I do."

Xecnephias quietly says, "Not my arms, your not cute enough."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Darcena on fiyah."

[General] Aasterinian thinks, "Oh. Delightful."

[combat and fire]

[General] Thrassus thinks, "Obviously some sort of unhealthy obsession on someone's part."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Roughly a dozen unholy white fires burning on east ring."

[combat]

Leifa exclaims, "Fire!"

[combat]

Leafiara recites:

"Drop and roll!"

[combat]

Leafiara recites:

"ROLL!"

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "If you are on fire ROLL."

Lazaryth says, "I keep burning my hands off."

[combat]

Guarrin says, "Moment."

[combat]

Lazaryth says, "Somehow."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Yce and I have left buckets near them, please help put them out - POUR BUCKET ON FIRE."

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Chandrellia softly says, "Well that wasn't very nice."

Roelon deeply says, "Ugh..."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "One down."

[combat]

Lazaryth distantly says, "I suppose I could bash with my forehead."

[very extended combat]

Dozens of death griffins swarm the sky above the town, firing blasts of lightning down at the rooftops, sending Rooks flying for cover, or unfortunate to be caught in the blast and falling away!

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Younger types, firefighting MAY be safe for you at the moment, and we could really use your help."

[combat]

[General] Andrelian asks, "Would holy bolt be especially effective on those fires?"

[extended combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "If it's anything like most fires, it'll do nothing."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "No clue, I'd try it."

[very extended combat]

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "Me heard da best way to put out a fire ish wif a BIG boom!!!"

[extended combat]

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Great job Asbie."

[very, very extended combat]

[General] The ghost of Chandrellia thinks, "I still don't understand why Bone Shatter doesn't work on a bone wall."

[very extended combat]

Darcena falls to the ground!

Kippe falls to the ground!

Bellaja falls to the ground!

Drektor falls to the ground!

Guarrin falls to the ground!

A forest wolf falls to the ground!

An amber-eyed tawny range wolf falls to the ground!

[combat]

Lazaryth says, "Oof."

[combat]

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Just pop a void, itll shuck da air out da room, and fire need air to breath."

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Like many things involving the Lich King, there is no logic to be found."

[very extended combat]

Berkana says, "Ow."

[very extended combat]

Leifa says, "Schrickens."

Cryheart says, "We need our own catapult to knock down this wall."

[combat]

Goldstr says, "Aye we do."

Guarrin says, "Yes, aiming the pylon would be nice."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Fires out on east ring."

[combat]

Bellaja offers, "That was odd."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Still working on both walls."

[extended combat]

Shinann says, "I hope this wall is not just busy work..."

Shinann says, "To distract us."

Bernadette softly says, "Aye."

Speaking to Shinann, Puptilian says, "It is to keep us from the catapult."

Berkana asks, "Thanks, did you just jinx us?"

Speaking to Shinann, Bellaja says, "No one has really made much progress."

Marletto says, "I started blasting."

[extended combat]

Bellaja says, "Of course I haven't really tried."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "About 12 attacking the west wall, about 20 attacking the north one."

[extended combat]

Lazaryth says, "Hm."

[combat]

Lazaryth says, "Feisty thing, isn't it."

[combat]

Berkana says, "Quite inhospitable."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "If we took down just one wall, that might be enough to get to whatever's near Twilight."

[combat]

Leafiara admits, "Right about now I sort of wish I had a glaes club."

[extended combat]

Bernadette softly asks, "Was dey getin mad at sleepy?"

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Vlashandra likewise has to split her forces in two to defend this way, though."

[combat]

Lazaryth says, "Speaking of sleepy."

[combat]

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "I think da ol mayer's runnin fer office agin."

[combat]

Speaking to Dwi, Lylia asks, "Which one?"

Speaking heartily to Cryheart, Dwi says, "Putcher back inna it1."

[combat]

Perivan exclaims, "More gut!"

[combat]

Kippe says, "It's biting harder."

[combat]

Akenna says, "I never thought sigils would help so much right now."

Vaemyr says, "The wall is mad, it started doing more than disease."

Speaking to Bellaja, Lylia says, "Leafiara. And before her me, and before me, Cruxophim, and before him, Puptilian. Before him, that would be...Walkar Wellington, who is indeed dead."

Leafiara wryly says, "Yeah, no kidding."

[combat]

Hapenlok says, "Oh, that's a bit harsh."

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "Ouch."

[combat]

Lylia says, "And Cruxophim's state is, ah...tenuous."

[extended combat]

[General] Leafiara notes, "The west wall's starting to hit back noticeably harder."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "East ring continues to see a smattering of skeletons. Currently under control."

[combat]

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "This wall, as well."

[combat]

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Good to know."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "No visible fires here."

[General] Viva thinks, "Still fire at east crossing, but steadily workin on it."

Speaking to Lylia, Bellaja says, "Goodness, I know I've been away, but even for this place that's a lot of mayors."

Marletto asks, "Anything casters can do to the wall?"

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Oh? We missed a spot, I guess."

Lazaryth says, "Piece of bone in my eye."

Leafiara mutters, "Bloody useless armigers only care about the square."

Speaking disbelievingly to herself, Bellaja asks, "Crux was mayor?"

[combat]

[Realm] Bristenn thinks, "There are currently sixty-seven undead beings in your settlement."

Leafiara bashes at the large bone wall with her eonake warblade!

The large bone wall strikes out at Leafiara.

... 545 points of damage!

Leafiara drops dead at your feet!

[combat and Leifa dragging Leafi to TSC]

Mynon says, "Thanks."

[combat]

Leifa exclaims, "Mayor down!"

[General] The ghost of Leafiara muses, "Well, now that time the wall hit back especially hard."

[triage]

Evii says, "Yikes."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Heading back momentarily."

Stormyrain adds, "And somehow the town is still standing."

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Now I'm scared to cast at it."

Speaking to Bristenn, Guarrin asks, "Does that count the Lich?"

Mynon bashes at the large bone wall with his glaes bastard axe!

The large bone wall strikes out at Mynon.

... 161 points of damage!

Lylia says, "Probably because she is less interested in the town than in that statue...for whatever reason."

Speaking heartily to a large bone wall, Dwi says, "Useless."

The large bone wall strikes out at Stormyrain.

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Stormyrain says, "Well. That hurt."

[General] Pukk thinks, "The captains just bit the dust."

Akenna says, "What..."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Bellaja says, "Goodness."

Lazaryth says, "That was.. out of character with the wall's previous assaults."

[combat]

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Thish wall ish captin proof."

[extended combat]

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "Good thing der aint any Cappin's here."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "A bunch of people joined my group at west gate, I'll stay put until Leafi's back in action. No more scouting reports until then."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Alright..."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Let's try that again then."

[returning to the fray; combat]

Gillien says, "Kroderine doesn't work."

[combat]

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "She back."

[combat]

Pukk recites:

"Join Leafiara!"

Leafiara recites:

"Join back up!"

[combat]

Vaemyr recites:

"Rejoin Leafie"

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Back on it now."

Speaking deeply to Leafiara, Roelon says, "That was well, unexpected."

The voice of Tsarok quietly asks, "Where did captains die?"

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Leafi is back in command at west wall."

Lazaryth says, "I've never seen the like."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "How is the north wall?"

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "Ooph."

[General] Guarrin thinks, "Still standing."

Leifa says, "Didn't happen."

Akenna says, "I can open a door to the square."

[combat]

[combat]

Leafiara recites:

"Join back up!"

Speaking drunkenly to a large bone wall, Gutstorm slurs, "How are yooz?"

[combat]

[General] The ghost of Stormyrain thinks, "..and pissed off if you ask me."

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "It no reply."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

[combat]

Gillien says, "Why would kroderine not work on bashing the wall."

[combat]

[General] Lazaryth thinks, "The wall killed Stormy."

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

Speaking heartily to Lylia, Dwi says, "He's sooo lonely."

[General] Cryheart thinks, "And Shinann."

Akenna says, "Or you know... go the long way."

[General] Darcena thinks, "And Shinann."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dwi bash it."

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Yes the wall is real mad."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Head firsh."

Xainthrax says, "Greater undead bane lance doesn't work either so..."

[combat]

Xainthrax says, "Not sure the logic."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "Sounds like we need Roblar's."

[combat]

Lazaryth exclaims, "Ah!"

[combat]

[General] Markx thinks, "Thank ya to the gods for some critters for the rest of us."

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "It crackin!"

The wall begins to crack in some areas.

[combat]

[General] Leafiara asks, "Only them and me, or others?"

[combat]

Lylia says, "I believe we are overcoming it."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "The north wall has begun to crack in some areas."

[combat]

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "Aint no since in dat."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "This one likewise."

[combat]

[General] Arianiss thinks, "Walls that kill the attackers.. hmm.. might be useful for Icemule."

Hapenlok says, "It's worth it."

Ycelacie enchantedly says, "Good work everyone! That wall is..."

Gillien says, "Whatever we're doing it seems to be working."

Dwi heartily says, "A wall."

Earthdiver says, "Oops."

Darcena says, "A pain in the tush."

Ycelacie encouragingly says, "A terrible wall."

Leafiara asks, "Is Vlashandra focusing the wall on those who especially have her ire...?"

Leafiara says, "Hmm..."

Dwi heartily exclaims, "Heal Darcen's tushy!"

[combat]

Tsarok quietly says, "Seems that way."

[combat]

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "These remind me of the walls we dealt with up in Icemule, to heal their Mayor, except those were not nearly as sturdy."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "Well, it hit me rather hard."

[combat]

Xecnephias quietly says, "Probably, she likes me."

[combat]

Leifa says, "I hate her, she can come at meh."

Speaking heartily to Cryheart, Dwi says, "Try da ol' one two."

Bernadette softly says, "Winston. Go get the wall."

[combat]

Speaking quietly to Leafiara, Xecnephias says, "She likes me, and well, it's clear what she thinks of you."

Dergoatean says, "Have you all seen cracks forming here? They're starting to show at north wall."

[combat]

Cryheart says, "Aye..fetch it."

[combat]

[General] Roelon thinks, "That was just angry vegetation. This is ah angry wall of bone."

[General] Arynth exclaims, "After some scouting, I see the zombies have moved into the interior streets of town, near House Brigatta. If you are a younger adventurer, move to engage them!"

Speaking to a droopy-eyed tan bloodhound, Bellaja says, "Attack."

Cryheart says, "Ouch."

Speaking to Leafiara, Hapenlok says, "Or maybe we're reading too much into it. it seems to have no rhyme nor reason."

Gutstorm sings with jollity:

"Yoink"

[combat]

A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Roelon! Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from his body! The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.

[combat]

A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Chaoswynd! Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from his body! The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.

[combat]

Dergoatean recites:

"If we all attacked the north wall, we might breach this impromptu fortress faster than trying to break down both."

Dwi recites heartily:

"Where's Pukk? Join Cryheart!"

A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Darcena! Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from her body! The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.

Leifa says, "Bashing with an arrow doesn't getcha far, sadly."

Cryheart says, "I think the wall just took revenge on me."

Roelon deeply says, "Reapers....."

Bernadette softly says, "I tink he over there."

Xecnephias quietly says, "Some spells do nothing, some get a reaction."

Gillien says, "We've got them surrounded! We can't give them an escape route by evacuating one of their exits."

Roelon deeply says, "Ugh..."

Speaking to Roelon, Leafiara asks, "Reapers? Did you see any?"

[combat]

Leifa says, "If you have a weapon, I will hold off the creatures while you break the wall."

[combat]

Roelon deeply says, "Remove mah ...everything."

Dwi recites heartily:

"Dont mind da distractions!"

Leifa asks, "....here?"

Cryheart says, "I lost a limb or two."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "The bone wall is now striking out even at those not striking it."

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

Xecnephias quietly asks, "Anyone try implosion on it?"

Cryheart says, "Wall took revenge."

Hapenlok says, "Okay. I figured out the pattern, though."

Goldstr exclaims, "Pee on it Winston!"

Dwi heartily exclaims, "Walls are stoopid!"

Vaemyr says, "Its disease got stronger."

Hapenlok says, "It seems that you can't use the same attack type twice in a row."

[General] Leafiara thinks, "The disease is getting a lot more intense."

[combat]

The voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Ouchies."

[combat]

Speaking to Hapenlok, Pukk asks, "Neat trick...can you do it again?" [he died to disease]

[combat]

Vaemyr says, "Imposion does seem to work."

The ghostly voice of Tsarok quietly says, "Oh goodness."

Leafiara recites:

"Be ready to Undisease or we're going to keep dying!"

Cryheart says, "I need to restore some limbs."

[General] The ghost of Hapenlok thinks, "Worth it. Keep going."

Gillien says, "The disease just got a lot worse."

The ghostly voice of Hapenlok says, "Keep going."

[Towncrier] Dergoatean: "Disease from the wall now coming in at 50 per round."

Leafiara recites:

"Now would be the time to get that Symbol of Restoration going!"

[combat]

The ghostly voice of Hapenlok says, "It wards itself against one element, so you have to use a different element."

Speaking deeply to Cryheart, Roelon asks, "Repeaers found ye as well?"

Speaking quietly to Leifa, Xecnephias says, "That's a sexy roar."

The ghostly voice of Retalin deeply says, "Ah rats."

Asben says, "The wall diseased me real good."

Asben says, "The wall diseasing bad now."

[very extended combat]

The ghostly voice of Marletto says, "What even hit me."

[combat]

Beldannon quietly says, "That is tough disease."

Leafiara slowly says, "Okay then."

Asben says, "It's nasty."

The ghostly voice of Retalin deeply says, "Yes the disease is quick."

[combat]

Asben says, "That's a mean wall."

[combat]

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "West wall group is now larger - 17 to 14."

[combat]

The wall weakens more.

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Wall's further weakening here."

Leifa says, "That's some intense disease."

[combat]

Leifa recites:

"Even if you aren't bashing, you can be diseased, watch your health"

[combat]

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Imposion is taking out big chunks."

[combat]

A white-cloaked figure runs along some nearby rooftops, wisps of smoke still rising up from the death griffin's lightning bolts. Moving side to side, the figure hurls blasts of force from its gauntlets, striking some griffins in the sky!

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Seems like it wards itself against a specific element, so if you use fire, you have to use something else on your next move."

[very extended combat]

Zhagen says, "There are EERIE blood fires in the EAST."

[combat]

Speaking to Sorlu, Bellaja says, "I don't want to lose you."

Speaking to Sorlu, Bellaja says, "I have a job for you."

Thrassus says, "Those fires cannot be extinguished in the normal way."

Xecnephias quietly asks, "Is there another front fighting?"

Thrassus says, "So don't waste your time trying."

Leafiara says, "Yeah, Cryheart's group at the other wall."

Speaking curiously to Bellaja, Sorlu asks, "Oh, and what's that?"

Leifa says, "On the other side of the wall and in front of Moot Hall."

[combat]

Leafiara asks, "What's at Moot Hall, the pylon group?"

Nephros repeats, "Clear!"

[combat]

Nephros yells, "CLEAR!"

[combat]

Leifa says, "Not sure, been here mostly."

[combat]

Speaking to Sorlu, Bellaja says, "I'll show you then come back to help another."


Getting the Drop on Vlashandra

A death griffin swoops down and suddenly snatches up Chandrellia and lifts her up into the sky, digging its bloody talons into the flesh of her shoulders! As the undead creature goes higher, a white-cloaked figure rushes along a nearby rooftop and fires a force blast, knocking the griffin to the side and Chandrellia falls and falls, landing on the West Ring Road, on the other side of the bone walls!

[General] Neopuron thinks, "Park clear and invoker safe."

Gillien exclaims, "Oh no!"

[locate spell]

[Wehnimer's, West Ring Rd.]

The road passes beneath the shadow of the palisade. Before you sprawls a gaudily-painted structure, adorned with elaborate carvings depicting scenes of commerce and lit by polished brass lamps. This is the Merchant's Guild, where the business people of town, from wealthy traders to lowly street peddlers, meet to discuss matters of mutual concern. You also see the faenor Chandrellia disk inlaid with intersecting bands of jet, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult and the wooden framework of a house.

Also here: Lady in Waiting Chandrellia

Xecnephias yells, "Bye!"

[General] Gutstorm exclaims, "Nice ride Chandrellia!"

Leafiara says, "Wait... that's not necessarily a bad thing."

[General] Gutstorm asks, "Can ye fog to her?"

[General] Leafiara asks, "Chandy, while you're there... can you burn the catapults?"

[General] Gillien asks, "How's it look over there Chand?"

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Oh boy."

[combat]

Pukk yells, "Bye Chandrellia!"

[combat]

Leifa yells, "Hope ya landed soft, Chandie!"

[combat]

[General] Pukk exclaims, "It was good knowing you Chandrellia!"

[combat]

[General] Adelynn exclaims, "Chandrellia!"

[combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "Hang on, Chandy, I'll be right there."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Hmm, I wonder..."

[General] Dwi thinks, "Oh...now dat I tell folks to join Cryheart...Pukk shows up."

Vaemyr asks, "Can someone open a portal to Chandrelia?"

Leifa says, "Nahhhh, we didn't need our empath or anything."

This is the Merchant's Guild, where the business people of town, from wealthy traders to lowly street peddlers, meet to discuss matters of mutual concern. You also see the green Gryzzlbok disk, the Dwi disk, the Gutstorm disk, a short-haired white cat, a smoky fire wyrdling, a pink-cheeked pale green cockatiel that is flying around, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a green-eyed grey and white kitten, the faenor Chandrellia disk inlaid with intersecting bands of jet, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult and the wooden framework of a house.

Also here: Grand Lord Gryzzlbok, Gutstorm, Dwi, Hapenlok, Shinann, Magister Raelee, Lady Vlashandra, Lady in Waiting Chandrellia

Earthdiver says, "Can try."

Leafiara says, "It looks like one wall has been breached, since many are there now."

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "We found Vlashandra."

[combat]

Leifa says, "She's with Vlashandra."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Either that or they're just fogging and portaling in..." [it was this]

[combat]

[General] Pukk thinks, "I'm fighint over here on west ring road."

[combat]

[General] Yaristen thinks, "I'm inside Twilight Hall now..."

[combat and people getting set on fire]

[General] Yaristen thinks, "Going to see what I can see."

Leifa whispers to the group, "Vlashandra has her, a few blocks over down this road."

[combat]

[General] Markx thinks, "Oh Pukk."

[combat]

Leafiara recites:

"Need some healing, and someone open a portal to Chandrellia!"

[eyes on Chandrellia now while combat continues throughout, outside of Vlashandra's location]

[Wehnimer's, West Ring Rd.]

The road passes beneath the shadow of the palisade. Before you sprawls a gaudily-painted structure, adorned with elaborate carvings depicting scenes of commerce and lit by polished brass lamps. This is the Merchant's Guild, where the business people of town, from wealthy traders to lowly street peddlers, meet to discuss matters of mutual concern. You also see a sinuous bone white serpent, a large raven that is flying around, a large brown frog, the green Gryzzlbok disk, the Dwi disk, the Gutstorm disk, a short-haired white cat, a pink-cheeked pale green cockatiel that is flying around, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a green-eyed grey and white kitten, the faenor Chandrellia disk inlaid with intersecting bands of jet, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult, a bloodstained wooden catapult, the wooden framework of a house and obvious signs of someone hiding. Also here: Grand Lord Gryzzlbok, Gutstorm, Hapenlok, Shinann, Magister Raelee, Lady Vlashandra, Lady in Waiting Chandrellia

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia asks, "And why is that?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok says, "Well, it's a shame it had to come to this in general."

An ethereal harmony heralds a swirl of silvery motes, converging into a bright and glittering radiance. The light fades away, revealing Leafiara in its place.

Vlashandra says, "We had so little conflict until you decided to take what was mine."

Speaking dubiously to Vlashandra, Leafiara says, "Uh-huh."

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "It wasn't yours."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus says, "That statue was not yours."

Speaking drunkenly to Chandrellia, Gutstorm slurs, "Me hashta."

[General] Pukk thinks, "Chandrellia is going to be dinner."

Leafiara drolly says, "Ah, yes, no conflict whatsoever..."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok says, "Well, from one con artist to another..."

Vlashandra waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.

Vlashandra says, "It's not here. We've searched."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus says, "It belongs to Lylia."

Balley softly says, "If it is not Vlashandra."

Pukk recites:

"Join Leafi!"

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "I do find it funny how easy it was to get to it and take it tho."

[General] Yaristen asks, "Does anyone want me to open a portal to the mayor?"

Vlashandra says, "But it hasn't stopped me from skinning some Rooks."

Vlashandra smirks.

Thrassus says, "Seeing that it is a statue of her and all."

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "You really do need better security."

[General] Guarrin asks, "The walls still up?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok asks, "What do you get from that statue?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Pukk says, "Except you. You can't join Leafi."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Leafiara asks, "What do you even want?"

[General] Lylia thinks, "Yes, but weakening considerably."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus says, "That I really don't mind."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok says, "As I see it? We have a genuine need."

[General] Akenna thinks, "Yes."

[General] Bristenn thinks, "West Ring-North Ring is, yes."

Vlashandra says, "I'll keep coming for it."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Raelee asks, "What were your plans for the statue?"

Vlashandra says, "I know what you plan to do."

[General] Dergoatean thinks, "North and west wall groups both continue to hold up well."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Pukk asks, "How about a trade. We give you Chandrellia and we keep the statue?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok says, "We were going to bargain for it, but you were never anywhere to be found. Just Slim. And you know how he is to talk to."

Vlashandra asks, "You don't know?"

Speaking sarcastically to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "Oh and patchwork golems? really? You couldn't come up with something more orginal, that's been tried already."

Vlashandra peers quizzically at Raelee.

Vlashandra asks, "You can't figure it out Magister?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me called Dibs on da shtatchoo long afore anyone wanted it, and now ye all fightin over it, you peepoh shuck."

Vlashandra says, "I've your face, a shame you've not got my brain."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok says, "But with these resources at your disposal, you could have held us and the Knave's men off, yet you fled."

Vlashandra smiles crookedly.

Shinann says, "We are not bargaining anything."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok asks, "Why?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Raelee asks, "To restore yourself?"

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "It's a good thing she doesn't, she would be pretty dumb."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Pukk asks, "Okay, you drive a hard bargain. You take Raelee, Chandrellia and Hapenlok and leave town?"

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Skeletal hunters are back on east road lots of them."

Vlashandra says, "I guess you will never know Magister...and that is a sweet punishment indeed."

Speaking drunkenly to Pukk, Gutstorm slurs, "Werksh fer me."

Speaking concernedly to Chandrellia, Adelynn exclaims, "Are you okay?!"

Balley softly asks, "Vlashandra, you are always trying to get people to do your dirty work. Who are you working for or with?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Raelee asks, "Punishment? Why do I deserve to be punished?"

Speaking softly to Adelynn, Chandrellia says, "Yup, just haveing a nice lil chat with a cheap bar wench about her prices."

Leafiara comments, "Ah, lovely, reason. It always works so well around here."

[General] Beldannon thinks, "Also the ones on east road have had their attack gone a lot stronger."

Vlashandra pulls out a small vial of crackling cerulean fire from her robe.

Vlashandra smiles crookedly.

Vlashandra says, "Not yet...not yet."

Vlashandra smiles.

Hapenlok asks, "Is that-?"

Vlashandra says, "I won't stop coming for the statue. But you hid it good enough for now."

Vlashandra asks, "But you can't use it if it's hidden forever, can you?"

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "Yup, and guess what."

Chandrellia softly says, "You won't get it next time either."

Vlashandra asks, "Do me a favor?"

Balley softly says, "Who are you sending next? The one you brought back to you."

Vlashandra says, "Tell Lylia we sure still do miss Aralyte."

Vlashandra smiles crookedly.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Tell her yeself."

Hapenlok mutters, "I've heard enough of this."

Raelee whispers something to Vlashandra.

Gutstorm sticks his tongue out at Vlashandra, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from his lips!

Vlashandra says, "I will. When I carve her body up next."

Speaking softly to Vlashandra, Chandrellia says, "You just like to talk big don't you."

Balley softly asks, "What makes you think you will get to carve another body?"

Leafiara amusedly says, "I'm sure that'll work as well as it did for all others who have tried it."

Balley softly asks, "You think you are that special?"

Speaking quietly to Vlashandra, Xecnephias asks, "After yer done killin everyone, maybe you and I can get a cup of coffee?"

Balley softly says, "Or maybe that is the only way you can find a man to love you for who you really are."

Vlashandra smiles crookedly.

Speaking softly to Balley, Chandrellia says, "Even then Slim is hard pressed, he has other plans."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Shinann says, "You will not get the statue."

Balley softly asks, "She could not even keep him?"

Speaking to Vlashandra, Thrassus asks, "Would not any particular hunk of bleakstone work for you?"

Speaking to Balley, Leafiara says, "Nope."

Speaking to Vlashandra, Hapenlok asks, "You're acting on your own? howHs any of this helping Slim, though?"

Vlashandra nods at Raelee.

Faint golden lines trace across Raelee's skin as she appears to focus...

Raelee gestures.

Pale, swirling mist begins to billow out from nothingness before you, and quickly coalesces into a small orb of shifting essence. Suddenly, the orb expands and forms an elliptical portal of swirling blues and blacks, its edges shrouded in dancing blue-white mist. An unearthly moaning echoes around you, dispelling any sense of peace and security from the area.

Speaking softly to Balley, Chandrellia says, "Naw, he owns her, not her owning him."

Vlashandra looks over at Thrassus and shakes her head.

Balley softly asks, "Who does Slim have in mind?"

Vlashandra says, "Thanks Magister."

Vlashandra kisses Raelee on the forehead.

Vlashandra steps into the shifting portal.

Raelee flinches.

Leafiara says, "He complained loudly to us about your yelling. Astounding, truly."

Xecnephias quietly says, "Don't be discouraged by the statue obsessed peoples, I give ya anything ya want."

>go port

You step through the shifting portal, followed closely by Vaemyr, Gryzzlbok, Xecnephias, Earthdiver, Sulien, Pukk, Balley and Chandrellia.

[A Quiet Path]

A stray breeze trails through from the north, carrying with it the scent of lavender and, oddly, grilled rolton. Though many might ponder this strange combination of fragrances, the truly remarkable aspect of this quiet path lies in the regal beauty of the ancient trees whose branches reach out overhead, offering welcome to all who pass. You also see a sinuous bone white serpent, the Gutstorm disk, a shifting portal, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a roped-off clearing and a grey stone walkway.

Also here: Lady in Waiting Chandrellia, Gypsy Scribe Balley, Pukk, Master Sulien, Earthdiver, Paymaster Xecnephias, Vaemyr, Gutstorm, Hapenlok

(Raelee wipes a hand across her forehead.)

Leafiara says, "Hm."

Leafiara says, "Curious."

Balley softly says, "She ran."

Balley softly says, "Like a coward we know she is."


Cleaning Up

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Well..."

[combat]

[General] Shinann thinks, "I am out."

[extended combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "She seems to have run."

[combat]

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Of course she has, doesn't she always."

[General] Puptilian thinks, "North side wall is gone, attacking catapults."

[combat]

[General] Leafiara thinks, "Wall down here too."

Leifa asks, "What happened here?"

Leafiara yells, "Move in!"

[people burning down the catapults]

Bellaja says, "Look. Catapults."

[combat]

Xecnephias quietly says, "I like to move in move in."

Speaking to Tsarok, Darcena says, "Rude."

Asben whispers something to Chandrellia.

[very extended combat]

[General] Hapenlok thinks, "That was very bizarre."

The ghostly voice of Retalin deeply says, "Yikes."

Chandrellia softly says, "Ok that hurt a lil."

Bellaja exclaims, "Who killed the dog?!"

Hapenlok says, "Incidentally? There's a sanctuary to the south, if anyone has a demon that can break them. Please do so."

[General] Nickonai thinks, "I killed them all with symbol of turning."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Tish only a fles woon!"

Xecnephias quietly says, "I have never been good."

Dergoatean recites:

"That's an interesting ethical question"

Dergoatean recites:

"Maybe we should discuss it after we get rid of these catapults"

Earthdiver says, "I think good is invariably a relative concept."

[very extended combat]

From nearby, you hear Hapenlok yell, "Oi, someone come break this sanctuary!"

Cryheart asks, "Ok..who leads?"

Darcena says, "I am."

Guarrin says, "Darcena leads."

Darcena says, "And back to you, Sir Cryheart."

[combat]

Cryheart recites:

"Form on Darcena"

[extended combat]

Darcena exclaims, "On you, now!"

[extended combat]

A swarm of chittering beady-eyed reapers rush in and quickly overwhelm Earthdiver! Their tiny teeth and razor-sharp claws quickly flay chunks of flesh and skin away from his body! The reapers soon leap off and scatter, carrying bits of skin with them.

Gillien says, "Blasted flyin critters."

Leafiara recites:

"Vlashandra's retreated, so likely no need for multiple groups anymore. Form on Cryheart!"

Xainthrax says, "Woo."

Hapenlok says, "Okay, I love seeing the kittens fly."

Speaking to Cryheart, Darcena says, "I was merely temporarily half-filling your shoes."

Cryheart says, "Catapults to the south."

Cryheart says, "Moving south."

Speaking quietly to Darcena, Tsarok says, "You did a great job."

Hapenlok says, "There's also a sanctuary, we might need a demon for that."

Darcena pragmatically says, "Although, really, my feet more than fill your shoes."

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

Cryheart says, "Someone sancted."

Speaking to Cryheart, Hapenlok says, "I think Vlashandra might have."

Rendena softly says, "I'm only training 81..."

Speaking in Faendryl, Lylia says something you don't understand.

Speaking quietly to Rendena, Xecnephias says, "You fight like yer 82, good job."

Speaking to Lylia, Hapenlok asks, "Is sanctuary busting your ...expertise?"

Speaking in Faendryl, Thrassus says something you don't understand.

Speaking to Rendena, Pukk says, "You don't look a day over 90."

Speaking softly to Leafiara, Chandrellia says, "I'm disappointed, I had such a nice pleasant ride on that Gryphon, and then I saw her ugly face..... gah that's worse than a sorcerer's nightmare."

Speaking to Hapenlok, Lylia says, "With a suitably cooperative abyran'sa, yes."

Cryheart says, "Ok..guess we patrol."

Hapenlok says, "That was completely bizarre."

Rendena softly says, "I take that as a compliment."

Rendena softly says, "I was going for 100."

Xecnephias quietly asks, "Sweeping the streets?"

[General] Xainthrax thinks, "Wraith killed the invoker."

[General] Arynth thinks, "Soul wraith in the small park."

[General] Varnock thinks, "The invoker will come back, she's been killed like 8 times already."

Speaking to Balley, Pukk says, "What do you call a empath with no arms or legs? Doesn't matter, they won't come to you anyways."

[General] Xainthrax thinks, "Good to know."

Balley softly asks, "What?"

Cryheart asks, "Ok..let's check the perimeter, shall we?"

[General] Crimsoneve asks, "What did I wake up into?"

Leifa says, "Chandrellia has been working tirelessly without need of praise, but she still shall have it."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Yooz mean we gotsha walk?"

A huge death griffin swoops down onto West Ring Road and digs its talons into Bristenn before lifting him up into the sky and soaring off to the west!

[but we go and find him and he's okay and nothing else happens for the night]
