Ashes to Ashes - 2022-05-02 - Ivorel Arrival (log)

Ivastaen 2-3, 5122

by Leafiara Autumnwind of the TownCrier

Summary

Amos introduces his courier Ivorel, who bears a striking similarity to Marshal Stormyrain. He says the wards on Praxopius' warehouses remain and three have been wounded from them. Amos says they'll reveal the locations at week's end just before everyone sails there.

Ivorel also presents an empty rune-etched brass tube and says he provided them to Praxopius once years ago. They can be attuned to a location, then teleport themselves over a great distance. He says Praxopius' records catalog a trove of them beyond the wards, though it's also possible none remain.

Vaemyr asks why Praxopius couldn't have just transmitted an airborne disease through the tubes and Ivorel says his understanding is that they're limited in what they can transfer.

Amidst the conversation, a few like Sir Geijon, Kiyna, and Councilor Chandrellia question what anyone is getting out of accompanying Amos and helping get into his warehouses. He compares it to paying a locksmith to open a strongbox and says he'll be sure to tip the equivalent of his East Tower picker if everyone succeeds.

Meanwhile, Amos asks where Kharusa is and says he has his suspicions and if he's correct, we should rip the location apart to save her. Kiyna says she's passed along Amos' questions and Kiyna is safe and will arrange a meeting with him and anyone else Kharusa wishes to meet, but she'll never come to harm or captivity under her watch.

Log

Assembling at the Pub

[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 a brilliant purple kitten wearing a purple collar clasped with a pair of crossed silver swords, the Nickonai disk, the Stormyrain disk, a hill caiverine, a large acorn, the Kiwoeachi disk, the coffin-shaped Jara disk, a light blue tabard, some old cerulean boots, a veniom-banded oak keg personalized with the image of a mighty titan, the Citan disk, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a large acorn, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a mistwood serving cart with some stuff on it, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin and some wide stone benches with some stuff on it.

Also here: High Lord Nickonai, Gutstorm, Stormyrain, Bernadette, Markx, Torigashira, Town Councilor Pukk, Buccaneer Kiwoeachi, Miss Sollowmoar, Adodak, Merrett, Khragin who is sitting, Town Councilor Leafiara, Jara, Lord Kellafar, Citan, Kiyna, Vaemyr

The sky begins to fill with huge clouds, dark and grey on the bottom, pale and white atop, their puffy crowns ascending toward the heavens.

Vaemyr says, "See not blood rain."

Markx says, "Ere comes the blood again."

Kiyna says, "And the Marshal just left."

Pukk recites:

"Everybody join Cryheart!"

Markx says, "They were quite vicious ones those critters." [referring to an Icemule invasion earlier in the day]

Speaking to Lunatick, Pukk says, "When in doubt, join Cryheart."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Pukk says, "Yep, you too."

Cryheart asks, "Ye speaking about the invasion in Mule today?"

Cryheart says, "I heard about that."

Leafiara says, "Was really something."

Speaking to Markx, Vaemyr says, "Yeah... those were quite dangerous, especially the undead wyrm."

Speaking to Cryheart, Markx says, "Basically, the story goes, everyone died."

Cryheart says, "Sorry, I missed it."

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk says, "Yeah. I went down so fast you would have thought I was working the docks again."

Cryheart nods at Markx.

Cryheart says, "Including Roblar."

Cryheart says, "If I heard correctly."

Speaking to Cryheart, Markx says, "Everyone."

Speaking to Cryheart, Kiyna asks, "Even Roblar? That... whirlwind of blood and limbs?"

Speaking to Pukk, Vaemyr says, "Dun think I can blame anyone from falling once or twice in that mess, they had some nasty things there."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Pukk says, "I couldn't hit much so I was on rescue duty."

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk says, "People from Mule came to our aid when we needed it so it was the least I could do to help them."

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Speaking to Pukk, Vaemyr says, "I mostly scouted and fought small groups, even with others the large groups were a bit dangerous for me, better for me to focus on three or four of them alone than 10 with friends it seemed."

Pukk says, "Besides, they have some good treats there."

(OOC) Cryheart's player whispers to the group, "A good ole teaser invasion."

Speaking squeakily to Kialeigh, Braugi says, "I paid for half of it basically, i don't know why you paid someone 1.5m to get out of trouble."

[General] Amos thinks, "A spring rain, without the burning scent of krolvin flesh. It is refreshing."

(OOC) Vaemyr's player whispers to the group, "Yup, was fun, and was basically the actual critters too so they got to test stuff."

Pukk recites:

"Join Cryheart now and get a free hug from Cryheart himself!"

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "A merry eve, indeed."

[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Good evening Amos, and agreed tis a nice rain tonight."

[General] Opalina thinks, "Good evening General Amoa."

Cryheart says, "If ye join me, ye get a free punch at Pukk."

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk asks, "Not free?"

[General] Opalina thinks, "Good evening General Amos."

[General] Kayse affably thinks, "Fair evening, Amos."

Speaking to Cryheart, Kiyna says, "Deal."

Cryheart says, "That is free."

Speaking squeakily to Kialeigh, Braugi says, "You need to be the trouble, not be in the trouble."

Pukk asks, "Would you punch a guy wearing glasses?"

Speaking to Pukk, Kiyna says, "I don't have to punch him in the face."

Braugi squeakily says, "Those are my wise words of the day."

Cryheart says, "Aye, I dinnae say it had to be the face."

Kialeigh asks, "Did he say something wise?"

Kialeigh says, "I missed it."

[General] Cryheart asks, "General?"

[General] Kiyna asks, "Yeah, wait, did I miss something?"

[General] Opalina exclaims, "Well it sounded cool in my head!"

[General] Amos thinks, "I will be along to the Sleeping Dragon shortly. I've some news."

[General] Kothos thinks, "Good evening, Sir Cryheart, Kiyna, Opalina- ah, Lord Amos."

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk says, "I guess it will be just us going since nobody wants to join you."

Pukk recites:

"Join Cryheart to go see Amos!"

Cryheart asks, "Sleeping Dragon?"

Leafiara says, "It's the pub in Dragonsclaw Arms."

Cryheart designates Leafiara as the new leader of the group.

Cryheart says, "Ye can lead us there."

Cryheart says, "Never been there."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "You're okay. Rub some dirt on it and walk it off."

Geijon asks, "Hm?"

Leafiara muses, "Well, alright then."

Leafiara says, "Moving in five."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We goin to da minesh?"

Pukk recites:

"Join Leafiara!"

Leafiara says, "No, a pub."

Leafiara says, "Moving... now."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da dragon pub?"

[Sleeping Dragon Pub]

A huge, elaborate wooden carving of a peacefully sleeping dragon stretches on the shelf behind the long, brass-railed bar from one end to the other, dominating the room. The pub is all dark wood and polished brass fixtures, and the cozy booths are upholstered in well-worn red leather that must have once been luxurious. You also see a hill caiverine, the Citan disk, the Nickonai disk, the Stormyrain disk and an elderly bartender. Also here: Drektor, Storyteller Kayse, Citan, High Lord Nickonai, Bernadette, Stormyrain, Kothos, Lady Nyaria, Vaemyr

Gutstorm, Geijon, Cryheart, Pukk and Kiyna followed.

Stormyrain says, "Everyone this is Nick."

Stormyrain says, "In case you don't know him."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me heard he bought dish place."

Speaking to Cryheart, Vaemyr asks, "Get lost?"

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kothos says, "Yes. I took her sailing, when the weather was calm, the other morning."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da drinksh better me free or imma be pished."

Speaking to Kothos, Vaemyr says, "Good to hear."

Cryheart says, "Never been here."

Pukk says, "Cryheart had to give group leadership to Leafiara. It was a sight to behold."

Pukk says, "The bards will sing about it for ages."

Pukk says, "Oooh a bard."

Pukk beams happily at Stormyrain!

Nickonai deeply says, "Nice plate Cryheart."

Cryheart says, "Thank ye."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kothos says, "You should come visit soon, she has a neck deck of cards she wants to show you."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kothos says, "My friend Giliad gave them to her, they have a mark on each corner."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk asks, "You have a way with words. Have you thought about becoming a bard?"

Speaking to Kothos, Kiyna says, "That sounds lovely. I'll make some plans to see her soon."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oh and ash Shtormy ash me witnesh, a kobold shtole Feral tonite and shoved it inna sack."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kothos says, "Good, good, she'd love to have you visit."

Speaking to an elderly bartender, Geijon says, "Crabcakes look alright, if not a bit...aged."

Speaking to Geijon, Kothos says, "The porter is quite good."

Speaking to Geijon, Kothos says, "A little on the hoppy side, but I'm a fan of that, myself."

Speaking to Cryheart, Stormyrain asks, "Do you know Citan?"

[General] Gutstorm thinks, "Amosh, dish pub needsh shum shtoolsh fer ush to part our tooshesh on."

Speaking loudly to Cryheart, Stormyrain says, "This is Citan."

Cryheart says, "Ahhh."

Cryheart says, "A pleasure."

Amos wanders in.

Citan says, "Indeed."

[General] Sunwu exclaims, "When yer back aches like mine ya learn to carry a chair with ya!"

Citan says, "Seen ya in the guild a few times."

Amos grins.

Amos says, "Good evening to all."

Amos asks, "The Mayor has not come?"

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "I hope you are feeling better, after a bit of rest and a nice bath."

Amos says, "A shame. I'll send word to him then."

[General] Zaaldine thinks, "Maybe your back wouldn't ache so much if you didn't carry a chair everywhere."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da Rushty Cutlash is much nicer den dish joint."

Stormyrain says, "Choosing violence today, I see. Excellent."

Amos grins at Vaemyr.

Amos whispers something to Vaemyr.

Nickonai deeply says, "Seems nice to me."

Speaking to Amos, Geijon says, "Expected Casiphia around here."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Pukk says, "You're right though. The Cutlass is so much better."

Amos asks, "You did?"

Speaking drunkenly to Leafiara, Gutstorm whispers aloud, "Vaemyr ish one Amosh lackiesh, keepa eye onnem."

Amos peers quizzically at Geijon.

Amos smirks.

Amos says, "I would imagine Mother is having her own struggles at the moment."

[General] Sunwu thinks, "Swung a pick too long in th' mines. Course th' fifty pounds of armor an' weapons don' help either."

Amos says, "It is a difficult thing, to look into the mirror, and decide which reflection you wish to see."

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "True."

Amos looks to the entrance, waiting.

Speaking to Amos, Geijon asks, "One would think a tried and convicted criminal, as an example, would learn from their lessons, but I guess when th' jailer lets you run free. Why not?"

Speaking quietly to Amos, Kothos says, "An interesting commentary, with some of our past, especially."

Amos nods at Kothos.

Citan says, "Free stein of Titan Brew for whoever would like some.... Just pour keg and enjoy."

Speaking to Amos, Kothos says, "I hope you don't have companions who urge you to modify your appearance to look like a magister."

Amos begins chuckling at Kothos!

Amos says, "No."

Speaking to Geijon, Kiyna asks, "If an official pardon means nothing, why have we official pardons?"

Amos says, "But I will not judge Octaven for her...vanities."

Geijon whispers something to Citan.

Vaemyr says, "Let me guess, we gonna be having another guest? Maybe a certain courier perhaps? Or is the Mayor actually coming and we need to start boarding up windows."

Courier's Info

Ivorel just arrived.

Amos grins.

Amos bows to Ivorel.

Amos says, "Only slightly late. But with what we need, I hope."

Speaking to Amos, Kothos says, "The stretch between that incident and vanity is a bit of a tangle, but good to hear."

>l iovorel

You see Ivorel the Courier.

He appears to be a Half-Elf.

He is tall. He appears to be very young. He has silver-flecked dark amethyst eyes and ivory skin. He has long, fine silver hair. He has a narrow face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing a slouched black hat, a crystal amulet, a sleek black coat with polished baystone buttons, a baystone-clasped black leather pack, a smooth ivory-hued doublet, a small folded black pouch, a slim leather sheath, a pair of satin-paned breeches, and a pair of polished black shoes.

Ivorel bows.

Nickonai deeply asks, "Might i partake of a stout?"

Geijon says, "It's about time Thadston came around and found common ground with you, Amos."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Pukk says, "Thadston probably already had his warm milk for the evening and is taking his much needed beauty sleep."

Amos says, "The crowd is unruly at times, but they will not bite."

Amos nods at Ivorel.

Amos nods at Nickonai.

Nickonai deeply says, "Thank you."

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Amos says, "May I introduce, Ivorel, my Courier."

Ivorel taps his slouched hat.

Kothos says, "The crowd is fickle."

Ivorel quietly says, "Pleasure."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Ye shoulda hired a girl courier, dey cuter."

Speaking to Ivorel, Vaemyr says, "Pleasure to meet you."

Drektor whispers something to Kayse.

Speaking smoothly to Ivorel, Kayse greets, "Ivorel."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "Well-met."

Kothos offers Ivorel a mug of Locksmehr porter.

Ivorel declines Kothos's offer.

Ivorel quietly says, "I don't drink when I'm working."

Amos asks, "Aren't you always working?"

Amos grins.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me always werkin too."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos asks, "Then when do you stop, hm?"

Pukk glances between Stormyrain and Ivorel.

Pukk asks, "Brother and sister?"

Speaking to Stormyrain, Vaemyr asks, "You related?"

Stormyrain slowly says, "No."

Amos says, "Ivorel has spent the last two weeks gathering information we've been seeking."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "That's a lovely coat. Very shiny buttons."

Leafiara indifferently says, "Well, we were literally just talking about Octaven's 'vanities' moments ago."

Amos says, "We know Tyrrax hit some of the Alchemist's warehouses in Idolone. That was not the only location."

Ivorel grins at Kothos.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Speaking drunkenly to Kiwoeachi, Gutstorm slurs, "Ye werkin?"

Ivorel quietly asks, "Shall I?"

Ivorel peers quizzically at Amos.

Amos shakes his head.

Amos says, "Let us not speak of the location this evening."

Vaemyr says, "Probably wise."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "He's a spoilsport."

Amos says, "We will sail by week's end. The closer I keep it to my chest, the better our chances the krolvin do not learn of it."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "You were about to tell us everything, I'm sure."

Amos asks, "The traps still in place?"

Amos peers quizzically at Ivorel.

Ivorel nods.

Ivorel quietly says, "His wards remain."

Ivorel quietly says, "We've three wounded from them alone last week."

Nickonai deeply asks, "Traps? Where should I avoid those?"

Vaemyr says, "Sounds like the trip will be fun, err we'll need to be careful."

Amos says, "The Alchemist saw to it to protect his inventory."

Amos scratches himself on the arm.

Speaking to Ivorel, Kiyna says, "Do the traps have any theme to them? Mundane, magical? Favoring any particular style? Trapmakers can be predictable."

Ivorel quietly says, "It will not be easy Amos."

Kothos asks, "In...Idolone, and other places we don't know of, just yet?"

Ivorel quietly says, "In..."

Amos looks over at Ivorel and shakes his head.

Amos says, "I will reveal the location this weekend, before we set out for it."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "He's entirely too astute."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "You can impress me later."

Speaking to Kothos, Goldstr says, "I has fought da Krol at Idolone."

Speaking to Goldstr, Kothos says, "I've never been."

Kothos says, "Just heard stories."

Sunwu says, "Don' want any..advance expeditions eh? Prob'ly fer th' best."

Speaking to Ivorel, Pukk says, "You can tell us. We can keep things a secret here."

Ivorel quietly says, "The traps have been both mundane, and magical."

Speaking to Ivorel, Vaemyr asks, "So what type of counter measures should we try and prepare?"

Speaking to Amos, Geijon says, "Defending th' Landing is a given, but you seem to increasingly think folks will go with you elsewhere on a whim."

Speaking to Pukk, Raelee says, "... that is not historically accurate."

Amos says, "They wiill Sir Geijon. I know they will."

Geijon shrugs.

Kothos says, "Curiosity is a potent motivator."

Stormyrain says, "Many of us have already said we would aid in the search for the formula."

Archious offers, "I for one think examining one of these stores sounds far more interesting than defending this port."

Praxopius' Delivery Tubes

Ivorel quietly says, "I also believe, I discovered what you were inquiring about Amos."

Kiwoeachi melodically says, "Fancy pants."

Stormyrain lightly says, "I wouldn't go that far."

Amos glances at Ivorel.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Yeah, who wouldnt wanna loot anutter town."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "You seem very clever, then."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos asks, "Are you sure?"

Ivorel removes a slender rune-etched brass tube from in his leather pack.

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna asks, "So long as it's understood that, if we're the ones at risk, we should reap the reward, yes? If we find the formula, are you planning to have it from us?" [he doesn't answer this right away, but revisits it a bit further down the line]

Geijon whispers something to Amos.

Pukk says, "Just remember anything you discover belongs to Xorus. He already called dibs."

Goldstr exclaims, "Ahhh!"

Amos looks over at Kiyna and shakes his head.

Goldstr asks, "Da formula?"

Ivorel quietly says, "No. The tube is empty."

Goldstr says, "Ah."

Ivorel quietly says, "Once, years ago, I provided many of them to Praxopius Fortney."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "I'm sorry."

Speaking quietly to Pukk, Opalina exclaims, "I don't think that's going to work in this instance unfortunatly. fingers keepres!"

Speaking to Ivorel, Vaemyr asks, "Do they have some special function?"

Ivorel quietly says, "They can be attuned to a location, and teleport itself and its contents over a great distance, if the runes are activated in the correct order."

Speaking drunkenly to Leafiara, Gutstorm whispers aloud, "Keep it down ober dere."

Speaking to Opalina, Pukk exclaims, "I always try to keep my fingers!"

Raelee says, "... the delivery method that was promised to Xorus, then."

Amos nods at Raelee.

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "Clever devices."

Speaking quietly to Kothos, Opalina says, "Agreed."

Speaking to Raelee, Vaemyr says, "But potentially sent to someone else."

Speaking to Leafiara, Chandrellia asks, "So where is loud mouth or did he run off already?"

Amos says, "But it begs the question..."

Amos asks, "Why didn't the Alchemist just hand it to Xorus?"

Amos smirks.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh there you are."

Amos says, "They were both here."

Sunwu says, "No drama in that."

Speaking quietly to Amos, Opalina exclaims, "Great point!"

Speaking to Amos, Kothos says, "Perhaps he didn't want to."

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr asks, "Because he had no intention of ever giving Xorus the formula?"

Kiyna says, "I assume he never intended Xorus to have it. If that was Fortney's design, it would have been done then."

Speaking drunkenly to Raelee, Gutstorm slurs, "Down ere."

Ivorel quietly says, "There is a theory."

Ivorel quietly asks, "If I may?"

Ivorel peers quizzically at Amos.

Amos nods.

Speaking softly to Ivorel, Kothos says, "You may."

Amos says, "We are primarily among allies."

Amos smirks.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Define allies."

Vaemyr says, "Well at least no one here is gonna want to give it to the Krolvin I dun think."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Amos it more like dish, keep yer friend close, and yer Amoshesh closher."

Kiwoeachi melodically says, "I leave town square for one minute.."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Chandrellia says, "Is arms length ok, I dont want to get the stench on me."

Ivorel quietly says, "After the Wehnimer's Landing raid on Glaoveln, several spires released a disease that rolled across some of the shores and docks of Fairport, Brisker's Cove, Ubl and Idolone. Many died."

Ivorel quietly says, "Some in service to you Lord Amos, and some in service to the Fortney Estates."

Citan asks, "Yeah?"

Speaking melodically to Citan, Kiwoeachi says, "I only serve Imaera."

Amos nods.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me serve Lord Owloe."

Amos asks, "The location we will travel to, there are more of those?"

Amos peers quizzically at Ivorel.

Ivorel offers Amos a slender rune-etched brass tube.

Amos accepts Ivorel's brass tube.

Ivorel nods.

Opalina quietly says, "That does not sound promising."

Ivorel quietly says, "Cataloged in his records, yes. Unknown how many remain. They are beyond the wards."

Citan says, "Well the Titan Brew keg serves all."

Ivorel quietly says, "A trove, if his records is to be believed, and updated before his demise."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "Oohh we are traveling to distant lands? do tell, what kind of lands will, we, be traveling to?"

Vaemyr asks, "Whom did said disease infect?"

Amos says, "I am keeping that a secret for now Councilor."

Amos nods at Chandrellia.

Vaemyr asks, "Was it indiscriminate? or targeted?"

Opalina quietly says, "That sounds like a lot."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia exclaims, "Of course you are!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "He wosh itchin him arm a minoot ago."

Archious observes, "The markings on that appear to be the moons."

Speaking to Ivorel, Kothos says, "Go on, Buttons."

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Just like the Baystone, till you examined it more, and just like all the elected officials that you deemed needed safe keeping, and so many other interesting things that you fail to share with the people of Landing. Yet here you are saying how good you are for it."

Amos asks, "There is a chance, no brass tubes remain in the warehouses?"

Amos peers quizzically at Ivorel.

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "Also... if the Alchemist had these, and could use them to potentially deliver weapons, why not use that against Glaoveln, seems like it woulda been much safer."

Ivorel quietly says, "Correct. There is a chance his records are not updated."

Kiwoeachi melodically asks, "Hmm tubes of brass, we making stills for whiskey?"

Amos asks, "You were late Councilor, and I explained myself, and most of the room agreed. It is unfortunately you, who are on the outside looking in. Not the first time you've made a decision that was not popular, right?"

Amos smirks at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh but I can see so much more from the outside, I see things that others don't."

Chandrellia winks at Amos.

Kiwoeachi melodically says, "Ooh like a ghost."

Amos peers quizzically at Vaemyr.

Amos says, "I do not think the Alchemist would have wanted to teleport weapons to Glaoveln to just drop at krolvin feet to use."

Amos nods at Vaemyr.

Speaking thoughtfully to Amos, Opalina asks, "Pardon me, but that tube does it hold a cure or the disease?"

Vaemyr says, "I mean if those tubes, could be attuned to a location, they could be used to deliver an air-born version of the disease."

Amos asks, "He asks a valid question. What do you know of their nature?"

Kiwoeachi says, "I don't think spreading diseases is a great idea."

Amos peers quizzically at Ivorel.

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kiyna says, "Self-teleporting clouds of plague? That sounds positively lovely..."

Citan says, "That doesn't sounds like a great thing at all."

Kiwoeachi says, "Just my opinion as a master physician."

Speaking to Kiyna, Vaemyr says, "Tis why I want to know more."

Kiwoeachi says, "Well there's always those anti magic crystal things."

Ivorel quietly says, "It is my understanding they are limited in what they can transfer. Personally, I have never used them."

Speaking quietly to Falvicar, Opalina says, "I might have missed the part where it might be what contained the Disease.."

Kiwoeachi says, "Easily could dispel them."

Speaking to Ivorel, Vaemyr asks, "Can you tell us where you were able to procure such devices from?"

Ivorel quietly says, "No."

Speaking drunkenly to Ivorel, Gutstorm slurs, "Me no trush Vaemyr either, good call."

Kiyna says, "I think we'd all like to know more, but on this I agree with Amos. Safeguarding the knowledge of this particular destination prevents it from being preyed upon by another party in the meantime."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Chandrellia asks, "Did you really think he would disclose that information?"

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Amos says, "As for your question earlier..." [about whether those taking on the risk reap the reward]

Speaking to Chandrellia, Vaemyr says, "No reason not to ask."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Geijon me take back all da bad shtuff me gonna shay boutcha."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Chandrellia says, "True enough."

Amos says, "The formula is still mine. If it is discovered, it is my possession."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Speaking to Gutstorm, Geijon says, "Get in line."

Amos says, "We will discuss its future, when we cross that bridge."

Chandrellia asks, "What formula by the way?"

Amos says, "I have not gotten this far in counting chickens, when we don't even know if there's eggs."

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr says, "Guess I missed where it be said was yers."

Kiwoeachi says, "True, i love eggs."

Amos says, "I own the warehouses and the Alchemist's inventory."

Amos nods at Goldstr.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Owlie eggsh."

Speaking quietly to Kiwoeachi, Opalina says, "Unless they are spoiled eggs."

Chandrellia whispers something to Leafiara.

Kiwoeachi asks, "Are we talking about the local alchemist in town?"

Goldstr says, "Ah."

Goldstr nods at Amos.

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "You also own men that, given time, may breach the Alchemist's wards and secure your warehouses and your formula for you."

Kiwoeachi says, "Was gonna say, that guys got some cool stuff."

Speaking to Kiwoeachi, Stormyrain says, "We're talking about a fellow named Praxopius."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna asks, "What are we getting by risking our own hides in this venture?"

Kiwoeachi says, "Oh great name."

Speaking quietly to Ivorel, Kothos asks, "Peculiar talents, indeed. What sort of visage do you have, when you aren't at work?"

Stormyrain says, "He's dead now."

Amos says, "Time."

Speaking drunkenly to Kiyna, Gutstorm slurs, "Loooooot."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Kiyna peers quizzically at Amos.

Pukk says, "Now we know Kiyna owns men."

Kiwoeachi asks, "Is his profession alchemist, or does he do other stuff?"

Amos says, "He is dead."

Kiwoeachi says, "Oh great."

Amos scratches himself on the arm.

Drektor whispers something to Kayse.

Kiwoeachi says, "Don't have to remember that name anymore."

Amos put a slender rune-etched brass tube in his worn leather pack.

Amos just closed a fur-lined worn leather pack.

Speaking to Vaemyr, Pukk says, "She owns you. You can't help it."

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Amosh, how dat itch."

Speaking to herself, Kiwoeachi says, "Actually, people often resurrect from the dead."

Kharusa's Whereabouts

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh wait a minute, you want that formula, and you have the device that was on the young lady on the krolvin ships, what is to say you dont plan on using these items for your own vendettas, I mean it looks awfully suspicious you demanding these devices for yourself."

Amos whispers something to Ivorel.

Ivorel nods.

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Ivorel quietly says, "Safe tidings. We'll meet again."

Ivorel just went out.

Speaking softly to herself, Kiwoeachi says, "Obviously it's the clerics fault."

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Speaking to Amos, Kayse inquires, "Was that urglaes ever removed? Is that what is causing your itching?"

Speaking drunkenly to Stormyrain, Gutstorm slurs, "While ye wosh gone, Amosh shaid me in sharch of da limitia."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Stormyrain says, "Absolutely not."

Amos asks, "I am suspicious, demanding my own property if recovered?"

Amos smirks at Chandrellia.

Amos glances at Kayse.

Speaking to Amos, Vaemyr says, "Well I for one, look forward to a little adventure to a mysterious lab to bypass wards and traps looking for hidden treasure."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "Your property? what clamis do you have of it being yours?"

Amos says, "I own the warehouses and the cataloged inventory of the Alchemist."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Geijon says, "Shackles that trigger truth and falsity are a conundrum for sure, if they were ever to end up on your wrists."

Amos says, "If you're going as an ally, then you are welcome. If you are going as a thief, then you will be dealt with as such."

Amos nods at Chandrellia.

Amos says, "I am fine."

Amos nods at Kayse.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me shtill gonna go ash a teef."

Amos says, "I have had worse happen to me."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "And if that is the case then your property was used in ill mannered ways against innocent people, why should it go back into your possesion when it could easily be taken, again."

Speaking quietly in Sylvankind to Chandrellia, Falvicar says something you don't understand.

Amos says, "Speaking of Kharusa though..."

Kothos asks, "Where did your courier head off to? Is he finally done working for a bit?"

Amos glances at Chandrellia.

Amos asks, "Where exactly is she?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Do I look like a thief? I leave that to the professionals."

Amos asks, "Still with your hooded kin?"

Amos peers quizzically at Chandrellia.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Speaking to Chandrellia, Pukk exclaims, "I don't know. I know you steal wounds all the time! I've seen you!"

Speaking quietly to Amos, Opalina asks, "You keep scratching your arm did you get bit by a spider?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Leafiara asks, "Did she take the suggestion I gave you and get to the other side of the Dragonspine so the krolvin don't come back for her?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "If by that you mean my kittens and puppy, and stallion, a snakes, and rats, then yes."

Amos looks over at Opalina and shakes his head.

Opalina quietly says, "I got bit once itched for a whole week."

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Amos says, "I have my suspicions where Kharusa might be."

Speaking to Opalina, Pukk says, "That is why you need to wash Falvicar more."

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Amos says, "If I am correct, perhaps we should rip it apart, piece by piece, to save her."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "I have delivered your questions to Kharusa."

Kayse curiously asks, "What are we ripping apart?"

Stormyrain asks, "Rip what apart?"

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "And where do your suspicions, say she is?"

Amos says, "Nothing. Yet."

Opalina waves a black sylvankind scalp at Falvicar.

Opalina quietly says, "Im already half way there."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Oh wait, it's a secret."

Amos whispers something to Vaemyr.

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr exclaims, "From wha be said She being protected from ALL!"

Speaking quietly in Sylvankind to Stormyrain, Falvicar says something you don't understand.

Leafiara says, "I still hope she ran far from here like Elizabeth Larson. Would be the wise thing at the moment."

Pukk says, "For those that are trying to catch up. Chandrellia and Amos are having a lovers spat. Amos is going to find Chandrellia's heart and keep it close to him so he will have something to keep him warm."

Amos says, "It is unlikely she is far. I would hope she is not far. Not without her father."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Ash long ash he aint goin affer Lylia, me no care."

Speaking to Pukk, Chandrellia says, "If thats the case, he'll die of freezing cold."

Speaking in Sylvankind, Stormyrain says something you don't understand.

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Kiyna says, "She is safe. I would hope you can trust me on this point. If she wishes to speak with you, she will."

Speaking quietly in Sylvankind to Stormyrain, Falvicar says something you don't understand.

Amos says, "The little woman ran through a thousand portals and krolvin swords to find her father. I cannot imagine the icy bite of the Spines is something she would settle for."

Vaemyr whispers something to Amos.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Well, if she is smart as Leafi said, she is far from here, and by the Gods and Goddesses I hope she doesnt come back."

Drektor whispers something to Kayse.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Amos, never assume or pretend to know wot a woman finkin, dey all crazy."

Speaking to Kiyna, Leafiara asks, "Is she safe at least?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Kiyna says, "I guarantee you she is safe."

Drektor whispers something to Kayse.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Cryheart says, "She had many of us running around."

Gutstorm slurs, "Ok yoo not AS crazy."

Amos says, "I just hope we did not trade one prison to another, for Kharusa."

Speaking to Kiyna, Goldstr says, "I hopes ye keeps her location a scret from all fer now."

Speaking to Goldstr, Kiyna says, "Oh, I will."

Speaking to Kiyna, Pukk says, "You could tell me though. I'm good with secrets."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "And I'd appreciate if you didn't direct your questions as to her location to the Councilors."

Amos smirks at Kiyna.

Speaking to Kiyna, Chandrellia says, "Well, it wouldnt do any good, we dont know where she is."

Amos says, "I was merely responding."

Amos points at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "I don't trust their decision-making recently."

Citan says, "Good stuff's."

Citan taps a stein of strong stout, which is in his right hand.

Amos says, "You and many others."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Vaemyr says, "Uh huh."

[General] Pukk exclaims, "Speaking of secrets, maybe tomorrow we can all gossip about secrets we know!"

Geijon says, "Just a nice seasonal, I like th' caramel for sure."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Awe are those love words you are saying about us councilors? I didnt know you cared so much."

[General] Opalina exclaims, "You don't know my secrets!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Hey dey made da right call, dey jush didnt shee da lenfsh Amosh would go to hole da town hoshtich."

Kayse whispers something to Amos.

Speaking to Chandrellia, Pukk says, "I think you misunderstood him. I think he was making fun of us....oh you are being sarcastic."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "But as I said, I have delivered your questions to her, and she is considering them. I will let you know if she has an answers for us. I am willing to arrange a meeting, even. If she desires so, and with whom she desires it."

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Speaking to a shaggy silver and white puppy with mismatched blue and brown eyes, Chandrellia whispers aloud, "If I let you down will you bite his ankles?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Vaemyr says, "I still think that it might help her, if we could assist in locating her father, it does suprise me a bit that she has just... stayed somewhere for weeks now, when she litterally ran through portals fire and flame trying to find him before."

Amos says, "We'll meet again before this weekend, when we will make our attempt on the warehouses."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Pukk says, "Okay. but I haven't bit anybody's ankles in a long time."

Amos says, "You are welcome to come with us, or not. There is risk, of course."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "I am curious tho."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "With these warehouses being yours."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Leafiara agrees, "That is a bit odd. Most optimistic guess would be that she realized she's out of her league on the battlefield, but things are rarely that simple around here, as her... escapades proved in the first place."

Amos peers quizzically at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Why are you so worried about just walking in? I mean, you should have all the nessisary means to bypass any traps."

Speaking to Amos, Kayse inquires, "Will Ivorel be coming with us?"

Amos says, "Likely."

Amos nods at Kayse.

Speaking quietly to Falvicar, Opalina says, "Im not sure if the risks are worth the rewards this time honey we can discuss over breakfast."

Kayse whispers something to Amos.

Kayse grins slowly at Amos.

Amos smirks at Kayse.

Speaking to Pukk, Geijon says, "Might have to vote for you next year."

Pukk says, "By the gods...you must be sicker than I thought."

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "It worries me, if she is truly not a captive, then why wouldn't she want to still rescue her father."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia asks, "And another thing, what are you offering those that risk themselves for, what did you call it, your, property?"

Geijon says, "I don't even vote."

Speaking to Kiyna, Vaemyr says, "Unless you didn't bring that up with her."

Speaking quietly to Falvicar, Opalina says, "Speaking of breakfast... those eggs."

Pukk asks, "Cholen are you there? Is this one of your jokes again?"

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kiyna says, "I have spoke to her at length. I'm not willing to divulge information about her - it's not my story to tell."

Amos says, "Imagine Chandrellia, if you will, owning a strongbox. Inside the strongbox, are some silver coins, a star ruby, and a smaller chest. You own the strongbox, and its contents. Easily, you gather up the coins, and tuck away the ruby. But the chest is trapped, and when you try to pry it open, your hand is melted. Or perhaps a dart flies out, striking your neck. Time and again, the chest is meddled with, but does not open. But you keep trying, because in the past, it eventually worked with other ones."

Amos says, "But see, you still own it all."

Speaking to Kiyna, Goldstr says, "I admire yer actions on dis matter."

Amos says, "I am trying to explain it in a fashion you might understand. Beyond that, I cannot help you."

Speaking to Kiyna, Leafiara says, "Hmm... does she at least have any useful information she can pass along about the krolvin? I can understand her wanting to be secluded, because if the krolvin found out she was still here, they'd probably do anything to get her back. She could possibly just pass it along to you, and then you to everyone else."

Amos says, "The warehouses, and their contents, are my property."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "Then what do tell is the benefit vs risk for those citizens that go with you."

Speaking to Amos, Sunwu says, "I think th' Councillor's point is that normally we pay specialists to deal with those little lock boxes when we can't open 'em."

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "I thought Xorus laid claim to them."

Speaking quietly to Chandrellia, Opalina exclaims, "He's a wealthy merchant! he owns warehouses!"

Speaking to Sunwu, Chandrellia says, "Well said, tho it may take him a minute to understand the meaning."

Speaking to Leafiara, Kiyna asks, "Here's my issue with this. Say she does have information about the krolvin. Will it be enough to satisfy all who ask? How easily will the crowd pressure her into using her mentalist abilities to learn more?"

Sunwu says, "Jus' observin'. I only go where my lord tells me anyway."

Amos says, "If you're successful, I will remember to tip the equivalent of my East Tower picker in this metaphor."

Falvicar whispers something to Chandrellia.

Speaking to Leafiara, Kiyna says, "I will learn what I can, but I will not allow this young girl to be abused again."

Pukk says, "So, 1 silver."

Speaking to Amos, Geijon says, "Explaining what you are explaining, I've found is not worth th' effort and best left to silence."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kayse says, "This town tends to have a fair amount of sympathy for mentalists. I do not believe she will be harassed."

Speaking warmly to Kiyna, Kothos says, "Good."

Speaking to Pukk, Vaemyr exclaims, "Hey I tip much better than that!"

Speaking to Kiyna, Leafiara relents, "All fair enough, I suppose. But anything volunteered would still be nice,though I get what you're saying. Give a little and people ask a lot, and so forth."

Speaking to Amos, Chandrellia says, "So it would be as if the locksmith disarmed the scarab, and kept the scarab, so therefeor, if we can bypass the traps for you, then the scarab is ours."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kothos says, "I would trust you to ask her, though."

Speaking quietly to Pukk, Opalina exclaims, "20 percent all the time!"

Speaking to Kiyna, Kothos says, "Perhaps she will, as well."

Amos and the Brewmaster

Amos says, "The hour is late. Even though I feel like we've all been asleep for two weeks..."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Sunwu says, "Aye, usually worth it to pay up fer th' experts, eh? 'Specially when th' contents are really special."

Amos asks, "Any further questions before I retire for the evening?"

Speaking to Opalina, Pukk says, "Be sure to tell the workers to give them to me."

Speaking to Amos, Kothos says, "Solving puzzles on the moon? I dreamt that, too."

Speaking quietly to Pukk, Opalina exclaims, "Go open boxes and you will get it!"

Pukk taps a miniature Liabo moon, which is in his right hand.

Kothos shows Pukk his Lornon moon.

Pukk exclaims, "Moon brother!"

Speaking to Kiyna, Vaemyr says, "All I'm saying, it might be time for assurances that she is ok, and that I truly do believe we can help her with her father, anyways if she truly doesn't with to meet then I have to trust you, but you will answer me straight that you'll bring it up with her."

Opalina quietly says, "Amos it was a pleasure seeing you again and neat news.."

Speaking to Pukk, Kothos says, "I always think of Lornon as being a she. Not that moons have genders, of course..."

Kiyna says, "Kharusa will never come to harm or captivity under my watch. Ever. She may walk free, even now, and I would hold open the door for her."

Amos nods at Opalina.

Speaking to Opalina, Pukk exclaims, "And you said that with a straight face and didn't laugh...good for you!"

Amos asks, "I understand, you are to be wed soon?"

Amos peers quizzically at Opalina.

Opalina beams happily at Amos!

Opalina quietly exclaims, "I am!"

Opalina points at Falvicar.

Opalina quietly says, "That poor fella accepted."

Amos says, "My congratulations."

Falvicar nods appreciatively at Amos.

Amos nods at Kiyna.

Opalina quietly says, "Thank you Amos.. You're welcome to attend of course."

Amos says, "It is good to hear you say such Kiyna."

Opalina quietly exclaims, "We will have alot of good food, friends, and Cake!"

Speaking to Opalina, Pukk says, "You had me at food."

Amos says, "Councilor, you are very muted this night."

Amos peers quizzically at Leafiara.

Leafiara tilts her head at Amos.

Speaking curiously to Amos, Leafiara asks, "Have you not heard me asking Kiyna questions all night?"

Leafiara chuckles.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Speaking softly to Pukk, Opalina says, "The cake is the second best part.. I got tarts too."

Amos says, "Oh, I have. But your voice has not rang out as often as I am accustomed to."

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "Leafiara was probably tied up with her wife earlier....so that is why."

Speaking to Amos, Leafiara admits, "I don't have much to say about this. I'm sure you'll have a perfectly strong force going with you this weekend, as you said earlier."

Falvicar whispers something to Opalina.

Leafiara nods at Amos.

Drektor whispers something to Kayse.

Kayse whispers something to Drektor.

Speaking to Leafiara, Geijon says, "It won't include me."

Leafiara peers quizzically at Geijon.

Amos says, "Interesting, regardless."

Speaking to Geijon, Leafiara asks, "Business elsewhere?"

Leafiara nods at Amos.

Geijon says, "I am not fond of going into Imperial territory unannounced raiding warehouses for mysteries. It causes all sorts of problems and it brings into question all sorts of agendas."

Amos asks, "It would not be the first time that golden spurs are also idle spurs, no?"

Amos smirks.

Speaking to Geijon, Leafiara says, "Well, you could do what you did with the mission in Jantalar to rescue Thrayzar and alert Cordarius."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Itsh a black opsh, plapable niability and all dat Geijon!"

Amos says, "There is no judgment, if you do not accompany us."

Vaemyr says, "I don't believe we would be either raiding nor unannounced, as we would be assiting the owner of the property."

Speaking to Geijon, Stormyrain asks, "Is Brisker's Cove considered Imperial territory?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Geijon says, "That is a good example of why I don't plan to go."

Speaking to Geijon, Vaemyr says, "But I can respect that decision."

Kothos says, "It is."

Speaking to Geijon, Leafiara says, "Did you not go? I know I didn't go on that one."

Geijon says, "I was present. A certain someone killed a rival under th' pretense of our rescue mission."

Amos says, "We're not breaking into a Baron's home."

Amos smirks.

Amos says, "We're breaking into mine."

Speaking to Amos, Kiyna says, "I don't believe I will be in attendance. I have other obligations, as you know, and I'm not sure my talents are the ones you're looking for in this particular venture."

Amos grins at Geijon.

Amos says, "I will not apologize for breaking the Brewmaster in half."

Amos nods at Geijon.

Speaking to Amos, Geijon says, "I won't apologize when you're on the wrong side of me either."

Speaking to Amos, Kothos says, "It will depend on the hour, Lord Amos. I have a different schedule now that I've gained an urchin."

Speaking to Kiyna, Vaemyr says, "Bah, you know you are curious too, I've seen you when I've told you stories of my travels."

Amos says, "Nor will I apologize for finding an opportunity to do so, while still rescuing your orc."

Speaking to Amos, Stormyrain says, "Several of those here have already broken into a Baron's home in Imperial territory."

Pukk says, "Okay, tonight is so odd."

Geijon says, "And I like you, Amos."

Stormyrain says, "And had no problems doing so when it was Grishom Stone they were seeking."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kothos says, "You know just how to get a reaction, apparently."

Amos says, "Many Scions rejoiced in his death. Ayred as well."

Amos says, "He was a cruel, cruel stain of a monster in the skin of a man."

Amos says, "I'd kill him a thousand more times."

Amos nods at Geijon.

Speaking to herself, Chandrellia says, "Sounds like someone else I know."

Amos says, "...and I don't need a lecture of honor from spurs."

Amos asks, "Do you understand?"

Geijon chuckles.

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "Oooh they give those lectures all the time. You should attend them."

Amos says, "Knights are just slaves who traded chains for spurs, if you ask the right person."

Geijon says, "All we get is waking up tomorrow. None of th' rest much matters."

Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara agrees, "Literally just yesterday." [well, it was a talk on justice, but close enough]

Citan says, "Free stein of Titan Brew if any would like one."

Speaking to Amos, Goldstr says, "Den da right person be wrong."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Imma fergit everyfin dat ye all talked bout tonite."

Speaking to Citan, Pukk asks, "Are you freeing them from slavery?"

Amos scratches himself on the arm.

Speaking to Amos, Geijon says, "We're all dirt evenutally."

Speaking quietly to Amos, Opalina asks, "Sure that's not a spider bite?"

Amos says, "I believe the night is over."

Speaking to Amos, Pukk says, "You really should get checked out for diseases...I think you might have caught something."

Amos says, "Goodnight all."

Lord Amos just went out.
