Eorgaen 8-9, 5119

by Leafiara Autumnwind of the [[::The_TownCrier|TownCrier]]

Summary

Magister Cordarius comes to Moot Hall with a green apple in hand, as Magister [[::Raelee_Svala|Raelee]] asks if that's one of their purified samples. He offers congratulations for Raznel's death, though the blight remains, and he says that he and Raelee look forward to working with many of the crowd over the coming weeks to learn what we can. He asks [[::Ysharra_Nagorn|Ysharra]] if the blight's spoken to her agan and she says not since that evening; Cordarius hopes it will again.

He says he heard about Thadston and that the Hall of Mages haven't found him yet, but Octaven's golems have nearly completed their work and many will return soon. If they find anything, he'll let everyone know.

As Cordarius is about to leave, something moves in the shadows and a ball of white comes flying toward him... it's a snowball from Larsya Caulfield, now returned! Cordarius gives Lazaryth an apple and tells him to enjoy it for a very, very long time.

Larsya gets a snowball fight started, along with firing her suction cup arrow at a efw people, then says she found some things in a pack left by Pylasar--and pulls out a purple firework to light! A spark from one catches on Pukk's pants and lights him ablaze, but Darcena, Leafiara, and Erienne manage to put him out in time. Larsya ties Chamorr's shoes together and nudges him to stumble back, then runs off for the night.

Larsya carefully lights the fuse on a purple firework, which immediately begins to issue forth a torrent of multi-colored sparks.
A small spark of fire seems to have caught on the back of Pukk's ebon leather pants.
The spark begins to grow...

Speaking drunkenly to Pukk, Gutstorm says, "Yer ash looksh hot."

Lazaryth says, "And this is why I'm never having children."

This style is, in a sentence: if you said it, it's in the log. Could be as banal as exchanging hellos, could be as utilitarian as asking for healing or spellups, and could even be completely off-topic. Takes the longest time to edit, and this incarnation is 45,168 characters long for this night.

Awaiting Cordarius

[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 green-eyed grey cat, the Razanetika disk, the purple Kobane disk, the Trallihn disk, an ancient cinereous vulture that is flying around, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, the black Monthas disk, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the Dannore disk, the blue Littlefuut disk, the Chiora disk, the Peachykin disk, a large acorn, a threadbare pink woolen hood, a flask of aged Reiver whisky, a large acorn, some stone benches with some stuff on it and an herbal remedy donation bin.

Also here: Razanetika, High Lord Kobane, Echonar, Trallihn, Elsweyr, Nostre, Lady Hithyr, Lord Oldale, Great Lord Monthas who is sitting, Event Planner Leafiara, Lord Zaxabar, Lord Dannore who is sitting, Littlefuut, Chiora, Peachykin, Lord Hellionn, Lord Musix, Sanguino, Xisum

The sky is filled with a blanket of low clouds, pale and unmoving. Sounds seem muffled and the air feels thick and takes on a quiet stillness.

Glistening flakes of snow cascade down from the skies.

Leafiara muses, "Another cold night."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "You're it."

Pukk recites:

"Everybody join Leafi!"

Speaking amusedly to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "For what?"

Leafiara says, "Oh, of course."

Razanetika softly exclaims, "I need a healer!"

Dhairn quietly says, "Mana me."

Speaking thoughtfully to Razanetika, Leafiara says, "Hmm, Balley just went off to sleep, I believe..."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "It was either you or Stormy, but Stormy is grumpy, so I chose you."

Dhairn quietly says, "Thank ya."

Rasson asks, "Could I get healed too please?"

Razanetika softly asks, "Where are the empaths hiding?"

Kobane quietly says, "I could use a healer as well."

Speaking to Razanetika, Leafiara says, "There's one." [Shinann walked in]

Shinann says, "There you go."

Speaking softly to Shinann, Razanetika exclaims, "Thank you sweetly!"

Speaking quietly to Shinann, Kobane says, "Thank you."

Rasson says, "Thank you."

Chamorr glances at Stormyrain.

Shinann says, "Welcome."

Stormyrain gives a sidelong glance at Chamorr.

The coppery barn owl moves closer to Shinann.

Stormyrain paces to her left, moving in a circle around an oak tree.

Stormyrain grumbles.

Stormyrain shakes her head at Chamorr and clucks her tongue.

Chamorr reaches out and takes Stormyrain's hand, shaking it vigorously. Suddenly a loud *bzzzzzzzzzt* emanates from their clasped hands! Stormyrain's arm vibrates wildly, causing her to jump and her eyes to grow wide!

Stormyrain swears under her breath.

Shinann raises an eyebrow in Stormyrain's direction.

Speaking to Shinann, Stormyrain says, "Chamorr and that damned hand zapper."

Aderion asks, "Healing please?"

Dhairn quietly says, "I need wizardly attentions."

Pukk reaches out and takes Chamorr's hand, shaking it vigorously. Suddenly a loud *bzzzzzzzzzt* emanates from their clasped hands! Chamorr's arm vibrates wildly, causing him to jump and his eyes to grow wide!

Shinann says, "Oh."

Leafiara reaches out and takes Pukk's hand, shaking it vigorously. Suddenly a loud *bzzzzzzzzzt* emanates from their clasped hands! Pukk's arm vibrates wildly, causing him to jump and his eyes to grow wide!

Chamorr heartily says, "It's a epidemic."

Leafiara amusedly says, "The buzzers are out in force tonight."

The coppery barn owl hoots.

Pukk says, "Those hand buzzers are the bestest thing ever."

The coppery barn owl hoots.

Leafiara hoots at the coppery barn owl.

Maags exclaims, "Good eves everybodies!"

The coppery barn owl hoots at Maags.

Shinann says, "There you go."

Lyrna says, "Hello all."

Speaking fondly to Lyrna, Leafiara says, "Evenin', love."

Cordarius: "Why, hello all."

Speaking to Shinann, Maags says, "Has one moment."

Leafiara offhandedly says, "Ah, Cordarius."

Leafiara: "Good eve."

Ysharra: "Good evening, Cordarius."

Speaking to Maags, Shinann says, "Possibly."

Speaking softly to Leafiara, Razanetika asks, "Mage?"

Speaking to Razanetika, Leafiara affirms, "The very one!"

Cordarius: "I'm coming to town soon."

Speaking idly to Razanetika, Leafiara admits, "I still wonder what was so special about him of all people that Quinshon wanted his blood."

Eldanari: "Okay santa."

Speaking to Leafiara, Lyrna asks, "Staying out of too much trouble?"

Guarrin deeply says, "Evening."

Rendena softly asks, "Huh?"

A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Darcena.

Darcena says, "A quick ride."

Razanetika softly exclaims, "Be right back!"

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Who wanted whose blood?"

Speaking slowly to Pukk, Leafiara explains, "Quinshon wanted Cordarius'."

Lyrna says, "Seems like lots of people want blood around here."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Pukk exclaims, "Hiya handsome!"

Speaking deeply to Stormyrain, Guarrin greets, "Captain."

Speaking to Guarrin, Stormyrain greets, "M'lord."

Lyrna says, "Almost seems to be a currency."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "You know what I want to know?"

Speaking to Lyrna, Leafiara concedes, "Around here... yeah, more or less."

Speaking curiously to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "What?"

Speaking jokingly to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Why was Balley's scarab different than the others?"

Speaking deeply to Stormyrain, Guarrin says, "We're going to have to move past that eventually."

Speaking lightly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "She's still wondering too."

Speaking optimistically to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Maybe we'll find out, now that she's not here."

Speaking to Guarrin, Stormyrain offers, "So you say."

Maags says, "Fine."

Lyrna asks, "Just lucky?"

Shinann joins Maags's group.

Maags traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...

Maags gestures.

Maags's group is surrounded by a swirling grey mist and vanishes!

Speaking to Avalera, Stormyrain greets, "M'Lady, it's good to see you as always."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Avalera says, "It's very nice of you to say so, thank you."

Speaking in Guildspeak, Lyrna says something you don't understand.

Cordarius' Congrats and Plans

Magister Cordarius just arrived.

Magister Cordarius just went east.

>e

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a glistening black apple, a maddened mountain spirit that is flying around, a sinuous bone white serpent, a giant mound of snow, the Ysharra disk, the pallid grey Melikor disk emblazoned with a vibrant scarlet pentacle, a snow white raven that is flying around, a polished bleakstone statue and a large purple wooden barrel.

Also here: Magister Cordarius, Darcena, Lord Thrassus, Lord Zolis, Ysharra, Melikor

Obvious paths: north, east, south, west

Kobane, Lyrna, Felita and Pukk followed.

Darcena says, "And the one who created it for me..."

Darcena says, "Is here."

Pukk yells, "Owly! You might have to lead us since the turtle isn't here tonight!"

Cordarius polishes a green apple on the sleeve of his robe.

Speaking to Raelee, Ysharra greets, "Magister Svala."

Speaking crossly to Cordarius, Raelee asks, "Why do you always insist upon doing this here?"

Chamorr winds up and hurls a perfectly rounded snowball toward Maags. At the last moment Maags tries to dodge the rounded snowball but ends up sticking her face right in its path. That had to hurt!

Chamorr heartily says, "Bang."

Maags says, "Problies is not good to be in the path of dueling magisters."

Leafiara yells, "The Magister's over here, friends! ...two of them, in fact."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Let's see if Owly wants to lead the group."

Guarrin whispers something to Erienne.

Cordarius says, "The blanket of snow in the sky reminds me of your flawless skin carved from the purest of ivory, spared only by the same white luster of your eyes that has been freckled with motes of the sun itself."

Cordarius winks at Raelee.

Leafiara dryly says, "Uh-huh."

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "That sounded not a bit rehearsed."

Speaking flatly to Cordarius, Raelee says, "Nothing about that reads as a legitimate reason."

Lyrna asks, "Where did he come from?"

Cordarius chuckles.

Speaking offhandedly to Lyrna, Leafiara says, "Hall of Mages."

Cordarius says, "My life is rehearsed."

A snow white raven suddenly releases an ear-piercing shriek!

Cordarius chuckles.

Speaking to Zolis, Darcena says, "You could maybe practice a bit of that."

Maags says, "Not as good as Sir Knight's poetries."

Lyrna asks, "Oh?"

Speaking to a snow white raven, Ysharra says, "I thought so, too."

The voice of Chamorr heartily says, "Vauldville."

Speaking deeply to Darcena, Zolis asks, "Oh you think so?"

Cordarius says, "Sir Knight's twenty year opus."

Cordarius winks at Maags.

Maags says, "But less blushing. He melts the snow."

Speaking softly to Cordarius, Razanetika says, "That sounds a bit boring."

Pukk recites:

"Xorus and Ysharra sitting in a tree...."

Maags nods at Cordarius.

Maags grins.

Speaking to Cordarius, Raelee says, "Is that one of our purified samples? The apple."

Melikor narrows his eyes and gives Pukk a dirty look.

Cordarius grins at Raelee.

Speaking to Pukk, Ysharra asks, "One of the trees that eats bodies?"

Cordarius takes a bite of his green apple.

Cordarius smacks his lips.

Speaking curiously to Raelee, Cruxophim ventures, "Purified samples?"

Cordarius says, "Delicious, isn't it."

Speaking to Melikor, Pukk says, "Sorry I didn't know you were there."

Maags says, "I spose he has had more time to work on it."

Pukk recites:

"Melikor and Xorus sitting in a tree...."

Cordarius says, "First..."

Melikor sighs.

Speaking to Melikor, Pukk asks, "Better?"

Speaking to Pukk, Ysharra says, "I like that better."

Lyrna says, "Hmm. I think I'm missing a bit."

Cordarius says, "Congratulations are in order."

Rasson asks, "So apples to cure the blight?"

Cordarius says, "I am sure there is a bell ringing somewhere."

Maags whispers something to Pukk.

Cordarius says, "But the witch is dead."

Speaking to Rasson, Leafiara muses, "Other way around, if the Magister is right..."

Cordarius says, "You must be very happy."

You hear a melodious tune as Razanetika taps the bells.

You hear a melodious tune as Kobane taps the bells.

Ysharra says, "It's possible. Apples are highly resistant to regular sorts of blight and infestations."

Razanetika smooths the folds of her white silk skirt, causing the bells on it to tinkle softly.

Cordarius says, "She's been a thorn in your town's side for almost as long as the Ta'Mori."

Cordarius snickers to himself.

Cordarius says, "It's got to feel good."

Melikor looks over at Pukk and shakes his head.

Speaking seriously to Cordarius, Darcena says, "I'm quite pleased."

Speaking bemusedly to Cordarius, Cruxophim reminds, "They're... not so much a threat."

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

Speaking drunkenly to Leafiara, Gutstorm says, "Look at dish."

Gutstorm eyes an antique silver-wrapped staff incised with alchemical symbols with barely contained fury.

Speaking to Leafiara, Raelee asks, "What do you mean 'if'?"

Lyrna says, "I think the Ta'Mori have been a pain in everyone's side for as long as they've existed."

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "I wouldn't say I feel good about it. But I see what you mean."

Cordarius says, "It would see the blight did not end with her though."

Lyrna says, "Just one opinion."

Cordarius says, "Clever, it's as I would have designed it."

Kobane quietly asks, "The Ta'Mori still exist?"

Lyrna mildly says, "Not a fan."

Cordarius says, "Everyone wants a legacy."

Speaking drunkenly to Leafiara, Gutstorm exclaims, "Look at dish new trick!"

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "You know what Owly says about magisters and their facts right?"

Cordarius says, "Magister Svala and I look forward to working with many of you over the coming weeks to learn more of what we can."

Speaking to Kobane, Lyrna says, "Saw Katze earlier this year. We could only hope, but usually they come back."

Speaking to Raelee, Darcena asks, "Did you hear that?"

Speaking to Raelee, Darcena says, "You are looking FORWARD to working with us."

Cordarius says, "No one wants spring never to come."

Lyrna asks, "Spring never to come?"

Razanetika softly says, "I prefer it to be winter always."

Lyrna asks, "Is that a danger?"

Rasson says, "Icemule lives fine without a spring."

Cordarius nods at Lyrna.

Ysharra says, "If the blight kills everything it might as well be winter forever."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "I forget...is he the imp with a sense of humor?"

Speaking to Raelee, Darcena says, "I hope these diplomatic conversations involve snacks."

Cordarius says, "Of course."

Lyrna says, "I know there was a long winter in Ta'Vaalor right before... a year or two ago."

Speaking to Darcena, Raelee says, "Not from me, they will not."

Cordarius removes the hood of his robe, revealing his features.

Leafiara whispers something to Pukk.

Cordarius takes a bite of his green apple.

Lyrna says, "But I believe that ended up being a child with an artifact." [was a story in Ta'Vaalor]

Speaking to Darcena, Raelee says, "No one should be eating the laboratory samples."

Speaking approvingly to Cordarius, Darcena says, "A man who enjoys snacks."

Cordarius asks, "Has the blight spoken to you again lately?"

Lyrna asks, "Different kind of perpetual winter though?"

Cordarius peers quizzically at Ysharra.

Speaking drunkenly to Leafiara, Gutstorm says, "I gotsh da powa."

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "No. Not since that evening."

Cordarius nods.

Cordarius says, "Hopefully it does again."

Speaking to Ysharra, Lazaryth asks, "Did you try to speak to it?"

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "I tried after Naimorai died."

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "I received no response that I could sense."

Lazaryth says, "I see."

Cruxophim whispers something to Shiril.

Speaking to a snow white raven, Ysharra says, "I may have been a little distracted."

Cordarius offers Lazaryth a crisp green apple.

Lazaryth glances at Cordarius.

Chamorr heartily says, "Remember them black apple trees everywhere."

Lazaryth accepts Cordarius's green apple.

Lazaryth bows.

Regarding Thadston

Cordarius says, "I also heard the news of Sir Thadston."

Cordarius asks, "We....can still call him Sir, yes?"

Cordarius shrugs.

Chamorr heartily says, "We had to get the Maw."

Speaking to Cordarius, Raelee says, "Technically, no."

Cordarius says, "Well then. Sir Thadston it is."

Cordarius chuckles.

Leafiara offers, "The honor's not lost even if the spurs are surrendered?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Okay, he is funny."

Lazaryth says, "We must do something about Thadston. It'd be a shame to lose such a man."

Speaking amusedly to Leafiara, Cruxophim remarks, "Suppose even knights retire."

(Lazaryth rubs the apple idly on his jacket.)

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "I'm sure that would be one of Lylia's priorities, with the blight."

Speaking heartily to Cordarius, Chamorr says, "Marshall."

Speaking to Lazaryth, Rasson says, "I would guess he has already went to join his son."

Cordarius says, "By all accounts, when the portal was closed, with you all on one side...and he on the other, he should have, or could have, ended up in the Bleaklands."

Speaking to Ysharra, Lazaryth asks, "Was that sarcastic? Or do you really think so?"

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra asks, "Are you sure about that?"

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "I know it to be truth."

Speaking amusedly to Cordarius, Cruxophim speculates, "Can he not sojourn back? Walk it off, as it were?"

Thrassus asks, "There were still pylons and golems on the other side, yes?"

Speaking to Cordarius, Pukk asks, "Have you checked your facts with Owly to be sure?"

Lazaryth noncommittally says, "Mm."

Speaking to Cordarius, Leafiara admits, "Was hoping your golems would have found him, but if not, then... well, I suppose a long march is in order."

Speaking deeply to Cruxophim, Zolis says, "The outlook is bleak."

Raelee says, "... with the caveat that the portal had been previously tampered with in ways that we never entirely discerned."

Cordarius says, "I've been informed we have not found him yet. But Octaven's golems have nearly completed their work, many to return soon. If we find him, or any sign of him, you will all be the first to know."

Gutstorm yells, "No heals for you!"

From nearby, you hear Aderion yell, "I will eat you Guts!"

Speaking to Cordarius, Goldstr says, "We Tankee fer dat."

Kobane yells, "All the empaths went to bed!"

Lyrna says, "This place baffles me."

Xorus says, "The Bleaklands itself and the tampered portal are both caveats on where he should have ended up when it was closed."

Gutstorm yells, "We got a ton of healers infront of da Moot Hall! Walk yer lazy butt over here!"

Speaking to Lyrna, Lazaryth asks, "Why's that, now?"

Speaking fondly to Lyrna, Leafiara says, "That's why we stay. Never a dull moment."

Speaking to Lyrna, Shiril says, "That's what makes it interesting."

Speaking heartily to Lyrna, Chamorr says, "Acourse it does."

Erienne whispers something to Guarrin.

Aderion asks, "Since when is this where healers hang out?"

Speaking to Lyrna, Darcena says, "You're stuck here now, pack."

Speaking to Aderion, Shiril says, "Since we have a guest in town."

Speaking softly to Aderion, Razanetika says, "When they have visitors."

Speaking politely to Aderion, Cruxophim informs, "Since we have company."

Lyrna says, "Because Landing is about as different from Ta'Vaalor as I can imagine. In pretty much every way. Every time I start to think I'm getting a handle on how things work here..."

Gutstorm yells, "Hey bring back da hotty bo body!!!"

Cordarius says, "But you will all get to see more of me."

Cordarius waits, looking for perhaps some cheering, perhaps some applause.

Cordarius asks, "No?"

Cordarius shrugs.

Speaking neutrally to Cordarius, Cruxophim remarks, "Oh joy."

Speaking sarcastically to Cordarius, Pukk says, "Oh yay...."

Speaking softly to Gutstorm, Razanetika asks, "Do I need to sleep you again?"

Speaking to Cordarius, Darcena asks, "What'd I miss?"

Chamorr heartily says, "More imperials, awesome."

Lazaryth dismissively says, "It's nothing. I barely even feel it." [scarab]

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "Your help will be greatly appreciated."

Cordarius nods at Ysharra.

Speaking to Cordarius, Goldstr says, "I woulds gladly join a party to search fer Sir Andrews if needs be."

Speaking amiably to Cordarius, Leafiara says, "Well, welcome, I suppose. Just watch out or you might find yourself wanting to become a citizen."

Speaking to Cordarius, Lazaryth asks, "What else can we do for you?"

Cordarius leans on Ysharra.

Cordarius says, "I look forward to long nights of research."

Cordarius nods at Ysharra.

Speaking to Darcena, Ysharra says, "He's going to help with the blight, Cub."

Leafiara confidentially says, "Happens to a lot of people."

Cordarius starts chuckling at Leafiara!

Speaking to Ysharra, Darcena asks, "Oh, well... He's going to cure the rolton?"

Speaking to Darcena, Ysharra says, "The roltons need to be made well again."

Lyrna says, "Think we're passing through, and suddenly you're a citizen in the town militia." [referring to her own story]

Speaking approvingly to Cordarius, Darcena says, "I guess you can't be half bad."

Cordarius says, "No. I've a different road I think."

Pukk exclaims, "Everybody needs to remember. Cordy isn't a normal magister. He actually has a sense of humor. He is odd even for a magister!"

Speaking to Ysharra, Goldstr says, "It bad fer Helga's stew."

Cordarius says, "I'm half bad, half horse."

Cordarius snickers at Darcena.

Cordarius says, "I kid I kid..."

Cordarius waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.

Darcena looks thoughtfully at Cordarius.

Speaking obsequiously to Cordarius, Cruxophim sighs, "Oh heavens, thank you for delivering this town."

Speaking flatly to Pukk, Raelee reminds, "Pylasar used to be a Grand Magister."

Sreka says, "Well, I like his fashion sense."

Speaking to Cruxophim, Ysharra says, "Have I told you I missed you."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk asks, "So two of a kind then?"

Cordarius exclaims, "Well, that's all I had to discuss this night. Good work on ending such a big threat. But much work still to be done!"

Ambush

Suddenly, there is movement in the shadows.

Speaking earnestly to Cordarius, Leafiara says, "In all seriousness, we do appreciate the help. Have a good eve."

Cordarius blinks.

Cordarius turns around.

Leafiara curiously says, "Hm."

Lyrna says, "I know I'm not a wizard."

Razanetika softly exclaims, "Wasn't me this time!"

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "Let me know if I can assist, sirrah."

Lyrna says, "Or really a mgaical type."

Brandilor: "Looking to trade uncut emeralds for uncut diamonds."

Speaking drunkenly to Cruxophim, Gutstorm says, "Mitter Cruxophimsh, can you make a new bulletin board for me to write on? I feel itsh the besht way for me to let out my frushtrationsh."

Rasson says, "Looks like Mother has 2 silvers to add."

Speaking to Raelee, Ysharra says, "You too, Magister."

Razanetika softly says, "And Crux is right there.. so it's not him either."

From out of the shadow of an alleyway, a ball of white comes flying into view soaring towards Cordarius...

Speaking amusedly to Gutstorm, Cruxophim remarks, "Maybe someday."

Lyrna says, "But I did study magic theory with a High Priest of Lumnis. If I can..."

Chamorr heartily says, "Hope it don't start cacklin."

Speaking to Raelee, Pukk asks, "Unless you're trying to tell me that underneath that stone cold expressionless heart of yours, beats the heart of a normal person with a sense of humor?"

Razanetika moves to stand in front of Cordarius.

....the ball of white comes into view and appears to be a snowball and slams the Magister in the side of the head!

You hear someone giggling.

Razanetika softly asks, "Someone throwing snowballs?"

Cordarius blinks.

Speaking amusedly to Cordarius, Cruxophim observes, "At least it's not yellow."

Pukk yells, "Good hit!"

Speaking to Cordarius, Ysharra says, "Looks like an iceball that time."

Leafiara amusedly asks, "Larsya, you out here again?"

Cruxophim yells, "SNOWFIGHT!"

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "He got hitteded wit a shnowball."

Chamorr heartily says, "Yow."

Sreka says, "Well, that's what snowballs are FOR."

Larsya dances out of the shadows.

Chamorr heartily says, "Maybe it's Maags."

Larsya winds up and hurls a perfectly rounded snowball toward Cruxophim. At the last moment Cruxophim tries to dodge the rounded snowball but ends up sticking his face right in its path. That had to hurt!

[a bunch of people start throwing snow; just imagine hundreds of lines of it through the rest of the log]

Lady Larsya just skipped merrily north.

Xorus says, "Well played."

Leafiara yells, "Welcome back to town!"

Speaking to Chamorr, Maags says, "I thought it was yous."

Darcena yells, "Come back here Crux!"

Cordarius says, "Well then."

Pukk exclaims, "Great hit! Now try throwing a brick and see if you can hit him!"

Cordarius dusts off his ashen-hued robe.

Lazaryth scolds, "Now, now."

Lazaryth says, "Some of this snow is dirty."

Berost deeply says, "What all the hollerin."

Cordarius says, "Enjoy that apple."

Speaking to Cordarius, Lyrna asks, "Would it be possible that I could be of help?"

Cordarius nods at Lazaryth.

Cordarius says, "For a very, very long time."

Lazaryth glances appraisingly around the area.

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "Larsya is a child. That'll just encourage her."

Cordarius says, "No, seriously."

Speaking to Darcena, Shiril says, "Harder next time."

Cordarius nods at Lazaryth.

Lazaryth indicates his green apple with a smile.

You hear someone giggling.

Speaking to Cordarius, Lazaryth says, "It does seem.. rather substantial."

Cordarius exclaims, "Goodnight everyone!"

Cordarius pulls the hood of his robe down over his face, concealing his features.

The voice of Razanetika softly says, "Bah."

Leafiara wishes, "Rest well!"

The voice of Razanetika softly exclaims, "No pointing Lyrna!"

Cordarius kisses Ysharra on the hand.

Magister Cordarius just went north.

Lyrna says, "I suppose not then."

Speaking to Ysharra, Melikor says, "Really."

Larsya skips into view.

Larsya scrapes around and gathers up a handful of snow.

Speaking to Melikor, Ysharra says, "You knew it was coming."

Larsya rolls a handful of snow around in her hands until it is perfectly rounded.

Speaking amusedly to Lyrna, Leafiara says, "He might not have heard you in the bustle."

Log Version 2: Mostly Inclusive (Witchful Thinking Style)

Notes

Fairly similar to the above, but greetings and goodbyes are cut out unless they involve GM NPCs, as are healing requests, spellups, and the most obviously off-topic comments. Below you'll see a 42,437 character log, where most of the cut material compared to the above is in the first section. This being a pure RP night, the changes aren't as noticeable as they would be on an invasion night where I usually cut hundreds of lines of healing and spelling up.
