Synopsis

Captain Bodohal comes to the dinner arranged by Emissary Samfelt and future Baron Elidal, where Landing adventurers keep the navy captain drunk and distracted all night.

Meanwhile, Councilor Kayse and others meet with Tolmis to board Bodohal's ship, the Shiver, as he helps them navigate to take advantage of a mostly-asleep crew and get past the token patrols. They encounter light resistance from stray mariners and a macaw, but Drektor's locksmithing gets them into the captain's quarters. Tolmis finds a document beneath a sea map while others work on opening a footlocker containing the key to the brig where Magister Remuliad's held. After acquiring the key, Tolmis brings them near the big and then heads off.

Alosaka heals Remuliad, then the air turns cold as ice and frost spread over the ship. Remuliad's somewhat disoriented, but says they didn't listen to him and wouldn't let him get to "it," where he "needed to infuse mana"--and they need to run. Sailors try to flee the icy energy and the Landing adventurers make a magical getaway to Moot Hall, where Remuliad says the elemental he trapped in the orb will get away and wants to know where Bodohal is. As people explain he's being arrested, Remuliad asks why; however, after Perigourd brings Remuliad to the feast pavilion, he does call for Bodohal's arrest.

Some adventurers splinter off to destroy the gargantuan ice elemental in Darkstone Bay, where Gutstorm explains that he destroyed the Shiver. As they do that, Larsya's soldiers arrive at the feast to aid with Bodohal's arrest, where he tries to make a run for it but gets caught and put in the Landing stocks.

Magister Raelee asks about the heart of Jaston, but Remuliad says that relic has been missing since he tossed it into the sea, seemingly implying that the orb holding the elemental was something else. He says he can perhaps speak more about the orb once he's rested.

People reconvene in front of Bodohal at the stocks, where Larsya's soldiers take him away to the outpost over his drunken protests that he'll be back and never surrenders. Elidal thanks everyone for a sound plan and says they're undefeated when united. Tolmis returns and gives Elidal the tattered vellum document from the captain's quarters, saying it came from the Shiver and might be of interest to him and other Imperial nobles, then disappears. Elidal says he'll look into it and if they're Bodohal's associates, they won't escape justice either, then wishes everyone a good night.

Log Part 1: Pavilion Group

Gathering

[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 tiny angular lilac-point kitten, a plump black cat, a fluffy white cat, the Vaemyr disk, a sinuous bone white serpent, the skull-shaped Irval disk, an insouciant luck spirit that is flying around, a heartbroken wasteland spirit that is flying around, the Avrey disk, the Krendarr disk, the Deyrok disk, a timber jaguar, a dented brass box, the mist-hazed Noctiss disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, some acantha leaf, the Arahnim disk, a silver-traced carved mahogany cart with some stuff on it, an old well, some wide stone benches with some stuff on it, an herbal remedy donation bin and a round silver-banded barrel.

Speaking heartily to Cryheart, Chamorr asks, "Dont attack dem?"

Cryheart says, "For now."

Speaking heartily to Cryheart, Chamorr says, "What if we dont want them."

Cryheart says, "Ok..there will be two groups."

Cryheart recites:

"I will be leading a group to the Outpost for a dinner"

Chamorr heartily asks, "Dinner?"

Cryheart recites:

"There will be another group"

Alosaka says, "Sounds like it will be fun and enjoyable."

Guarrin says, "Aye. Dinner with Lord Elidal."

Speaking to Cryheart, Lylia says, "I have been looking forward to this."

Tikba lightly says, "I have two alcoholic beverages. I am well prepared for dinner."

Missoni says, "Oh, enjoy dinner! I do wish I could attend."

Speaking to Tikba, Missoni says, "Drink one for me."

There is a commotion from the towers as a massive blue man o' war sails toward the sea gate, its numerous cannons gleaming in the moonlight.

Speaking to Missoni, Alosaka says, "Alas, I will also be otherwise occupied."

Speaking to Missoni, Guarrin says, "I will try to save you something."

Speaking appreciatively to Guarrin, Missoni says, "Thank you."

Speaking to Missoni, Lylia says, "A pity you cannot join us; I am sure it will be quite the event."

Missoni says, "Perhaps there will be a nice fishcake."

Cryheart recites:

"I remind ye, we are expecting a guest at the dinner, so stow those weapons for now"

Raelee neutrally says, "... if you would prefer not to attend the dinner and have other plans this evening, some witll be gathering at Hearthstone's porch."

Raelee adds, "And soon."

Guarrin says, "Oh it sounds like that other party is at Hearthstone? Good food there as well."

Speaking to Cryheart, Yardie says, "When you learn how to fight with your fist, you always never and always armed."

Speaking to Raelee, Lylia says, "That sounds tempting, but I have already dressed for a more formal affair."

Speaking heartily to Cryheart, Chamorr says, "What the second group."

Speaking to Chamorr, Lylia says, "A gathering at Hearthstone, I heard."

Speaking heartily to Lylia, Chamorr says, "For what."

Evia asks, "Snacks?"

Cryheart says, "Gather at the Hearstone to find out I imagine."

Lylia says, "But I have seen the manor countless times."

[General] Brisca asks, "Are people gathering anywhere?"

[General] Arianiss thinks, "The outpost.. town center.. Hearthstone.. those seem to be the three spots."

Cryheart asks, "Ye think Lord Elidal is already at the Outpost?"

Sirona quietly says, "Not really dressed for dinner...I was ..."

Evia says, "Getting things ready and all I suppose."

Tikba uncertainly says, "I think we must wait until Elidal said he is ready."

A militiawoman shouts from one of the towers, "Should we prepare defenses? It's at a pace and aiming straight for the docks!"

Tikba says, "It is rude to arrive early."

Guarrin asks, "Marshal?"

Thrassus says, "Someone tell them to stand down."

Sirona quietly says, "Ugh..."

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Tellim to pipe down out der huh!"

Speaking to Tikba, Yardie corrects, "It's professional to arrive early."

Cryheart says, "This is nae a formal dinner."

Cryheart says, "Just a dinner."

Guarrin says, "Stand down! they are expected."

Avrey says, "I wouldn't tell them their job, they've got orders."

Thrassus yells, "Stand down!"

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "Militia, stand down. This is an expected ship, and a guest for the night."

Yardie muses, "Never want someone setting up on you when you're setting up on them."

High above Wehnimer's Landing a burst of fiery-orange light erupts in the sky, radiating outward and shining with intensity. The searing glow lingers in the air for a few moments before fading away. Suddenly militiamen take to the streets, rushing off in different directions as orders are shouted out amongst them.

Lylia quips, "Every dinner is a formal dinner if you need an excuse to wear a new gown."

[General] Mauss asks, "Ooo is dere a party? Or perchance a whiskey tastin'?"

Tikba sighs, "Gutstorm."

[General] Lylia thinks, "I heard something about a dinner."

[General] Dwi slyly thinks, "Tanks goodness she dint hear nuffin bout a weddin!"

Cryheart says, "Those going with my group to the Outpost for dinner, please stow your weapons."

Speaking to Geijon, Guarrin says, "You are late, Sir, for the gathering at hearthstone."

Brisca asks, "Dinner?"

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Cryheart says, "Dinner at the Outpost, with a special guest."

Lylia says, "That is the rumor I heard. I certainly hope so; I held off on dining earlier."

Evia says, "Famished."

[General] Mauss exclaims, "I may or may not have free Paupers ale!"

Speaking to Mourdeyan, Guarrin says, "It seems we have options for dinner tonight."

[General] Directed to Chandrellia, Mauss thinks, "Oh so my ale's not good enough fer ya? ...I see 'ow it is."

A militiawoman shouts from one of the towers, "Stand down! Everyone, stand down! Do not fire at the ship unless it attacks us first!"

Guarrin says, "Form on Sir Cryheart for dinner with Lord Elidal at the outpost."

Sirona quietly says, "Join Cryheart if you would like to go to the dinner at the Outpost."

Guarrin casually notes, "I hear Kayse is hosting a dinner at hearthstone as well."

Guarrin mentions, "I imagine that will be enjoyable as well."

Cryheart says, "Aye."

[General] Dwi thinks, "Yeesh...willy nilly was lookin to blast anythin a minoot ago."

Lylia says, "I always enjoy Kayse's events; she is a charming host, always. But for me, prior commitments..."

[General] Dwi asks, "Who's in charge o' dese tower guards?"

Speaking to Lylia, Chandrellia asks, "Going to the dinner?"

Speaking to Chandrellia, Lylia says, "I have been looking forward to it all day."

Speaking to Lylia, Chandrellia says, "I do hope its a wonderful meal."

Guarrin grumbles, "I am not really one for formal affairs, but, it was a kind invitation."

Tikba says, "For even longer, perhaps."

Cryheart says, "Ok..reform on me if ye want to go to the Outpost for dinner."

[General] Directed confusedly to Dwi, Mauss asks, "...ya mean yer not??"

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly thinks, "Um....push da orb up in da tower, datll make'm git to werk."

Cryheart says, "Sorry..had to inform a member."

Tikba says, "It is a meal I have been expecting for some time now."

Cryheart says, "Tis not a formal dinner."

Mourdeyan says, "Good thing."

[General] Directed slyly to Mauss, Dwi thinks, "Nope...I gotta suspishun tho...anna she'll not like it when Gutstorm safes da day."

Cryheart says, "We can only hope."

Mourdeyan says, "Indeed."

Speaking to Emperia, Lylia asks, "Are you going to join us for dinner?"

Speaking to Lylia, Emperia asks, "I...perhaps?"

Mourdeyan says, "Cookin smookin, m'goin for the ale."

Speaking to Tikba, Guarrin says, "Venison is best a bit on the underdone side."

Speaking to Emperia, Yardie says, "I think you should."

Lylia says, "Elidal puts out quite a spread, and I have heard rumors of a dinner guest."

Cryheart says, "Mind ye, dinnae pet your rats before eating."

Emperia says, "I will do so, then."

Sirona quietly says, "Bleh."

Lylia says, "Lovely! I am pleased to have more company there."

A massive blue man o' war sails toward the sea gate, its numerous cannons gleaming in the moonlight.

Kiyna asks, "Wasn't he going to land at the Black Sands...?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Guarrin says, "I believe that was his intent, yes."

Tennalnen asks, "Where does the sea gate lead?"

Kiyna offers, "Changed his mind...?"

Thrassus asks, "Was his ship alwayb blue?"

Tikba says, "The good Captain does prefer the unexpected."

Kialeigh says, "Maybe they already dropped off the speciai visitor."

Guarrin mentions, "I was hoping to play the bagpipes tonight, as a way of saying thank you to Lord Elidal for hosting."

Cryheart asks, "Did ye bring ye bagpipes?"

Lylia diplomatically says, "That would certainly be something."

Speaking to Guarrin, Evia exclaims, "I can join you!"

Speaking to Evia, Guarrin says, "Grand. I am glad you brought them."

Speaking to Guarrin, Evia says, "Always."

Lylia whispers something to Xorus.

Kiyna says, "He's heading for the Black Sands now, it looks like."

Yardie asks, "Was that supposed to happen?"

Lylia says, "It appears so."

Tennalnen asks, "Should we meet him?"

Speaking to Yardie, Kiyna says, "There was a small worry that he would take the opportunity to attack preemptively."

Speaking to Tennalnen, Guarrin asks, "Did you not win your wager?"

Tennalnen says, "I did."

Lylia offhandedly says, "I had heard he would put to port at the Black Sands originally, but of course, one never knows."

Tennalnen says, "We do not have to."

Evia says, "Good clear fair weather night."

Speaking to Kiyna, Yardie says, "Good thing he did not."

Evia says, "With a lovely Liabo moon."

Tikba thoughtfully says, "The Shiver has always anchored offshore rather than mooring. I assume the harbor is too shallow for it."

Speaking to Guarrin, Tennalnen asks, "Would I be allowed to escort him, perhaps it will set his mind at ease?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Guarrin says, "Perhaps the north gate, so we can see if the Captain goes past."

Cryheart says, "Moving out."

Goldstr says, "Da Handmaidens be a shinin."

Kiyna says, "My understanding is the dinner will not take place in the Landing. The Hendoran Outpost, I think."

[General] Samfelt thinks, "Greetings."

[General] Lylia thinks, "Good evening to you."

[General] Irval thinks, "Greetings Samfelt."

[General] Tennalnen thinks, "Good evening."

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Good eve Landing and Elanthia."

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "Good evening."

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Good evening, Emissary Samfelt."

[General] Goldstr exclaims, "Hail Samfelt!"

[General] Evia thinks, "Hullo Sam."

[General] Drazaa greets, "Samfelt, good evening."

[General] Avrey asks, "How nice to hear your voice again, Emissary Samfelt. I trust your journey was uneventful?"

[General] Mourdeyan thinks, "Evenin Samfelt."

[General] Samfelt thinks, "Lord Elidal has arranged for a pavilion to feast within a bit north of the campsite. I will be joining at half a mark past the current hour to allow entry for those who wish to dine. Lord Elidal will be joining us as soon as he is able."

Guarrin says, "Ah, let us head there."

Cryheart says, "See if we can find the pavilion."

[travel]

Chandrellia says, "If you havent already please stow your weapons."

Tennalnen says, "Wair."

[Lower Dragonsclaw, Forest]

You release the scents of the various herbs growing on the forest floor with your steps. They mingle with the breeze that courses through the trees to create an ever-changing, but always pleasant, aroma. You also see a sleek furry mouse, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a hazy ethereal puppy surrounded by a scintillating prismatic aura, a timber jaguar, a heartbroken wasteland spirit that is flying around, a vacillating lake spirit that is flying around, a tiny angular lilac-point kitten, the Kialeigh disk, the Tennalnen disk, the mist-hazed Noctiss disk and a huge blue silk pavilion.

Cryheart says, "Here it is."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Lylia says, "I can imagine you are quite looking forward to a feast, my friend."

Kialeigh curiously asks, "Didn't he say half past the hour? So like.. 20 minutes?"

Speaking to Kialeigh, Kiyna suggests, "It may take some time to lash the Shiver in place. Large ships require a lot of work to put to dock."

Lylia says, "I would imagine it does."

Kialeigh says, "No rush, just was curious."

Cryheart says, "Even smaller ships hae a lot of lines to check."

Chandrellia asks, "So does everyone have an appatite for this evenings meal?"

Cryheart says, "I am famished."

Goldstr says, "In da meantime keep our eyes out fer any a Haidens Vale folks."

Kiyna says, "And the Shiver sure is one beast of a vessel..."

Lylia smoothly says, "Oh, quite. I have been looking forward to it for some time."

Tikba says, "A present from the Marshal, for our friend."

Lylia says, "I am sure it will be most welcome."

Speaking to Tikba, Guarrin notes, "Most generous."

Cryheart says, "Mind your manners with our guest."

Kialeigh says, "Interesting name."

[General] Dwi thinks, "I agree wit meself."

Kiyna says, "In case things do go poorly..."

Chandrellia says, "However be aware, for all we know, the Reivers may have gotten wind of this andperhaps attempting to stage something this night."

Chandrellia says, "Wouldnt surprise me."

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly thinks, "Dunt eat all da food like lasht time, Cryheart."

[General] Dwi asks, "Chamorr? When's da last time ye actually stopp'd a bleeder?"

Tikba says, "You are very kind."

Cryheart says, "Always be vigil."

Guarrin says, "Let us hope that is not the case."

Speaking to Tikba, Kiyna admits, "It's not kindness. Those things are bigger than my head and I tire of hauling them about."

Tikba amusedly says, "I often rub them as soon as I see them."

Tikba says, "Then they will not trouble me further, at least."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Yardie says, "I don't think the reivers would plan an attack this night. And let's hope no one charges headlong looking for a fight."

Yardie mutters, "And I did not mean to rhyme."

Speaking to Yardie, Chandrellia says, "I would hope, however I have learned to always expect the unexpected."

Speaking to Yardie, Kiyna says, "Too bad. You've rhymed. Now you have to buy everyone drinks."

Avrey quips, "It's what everyone thinks."

Lylia murmurs, "I cannot imagine they want another fight again so soon, nor that anyone wishes to tangle with them after the unfortunate choices of last night."

Speaking to Kiyna, Yardie says, "Hah! I'll make them instead."

Speaking to Lylia, Guarrin agrees, "Hrm? Oh. Yes. Rough evening."

Lylia says, "How fortuitous, then, that we have a guest for dinner, I hear! I have never met the illustrious captain and am quite curious."

Cryheart says, "Same."

Speaking to Lylia, Goldstr says, "As I."

Kiyna says, "I've never met 'im in person, either... though I intend to stay quiet. He doesn't need to know I'm on the council."

Lylia lightly says, "Oh, I plan on hearing him talk much more about himself than hearing about us. After all, he is so well-traveled."

Cryheart says, "I imagine he will be wary, but once dinner begins hopefully he will relax."

Lylia exclaims, "And here we are in a little town far off on the edge of the map. Of course we want to hear more about him!"

Tikba says, "I have met him a few times. He is direct, and imagines himself indirect; gruff, and imagines himself charming."

Tikba amusedly says, "I am sure he will be easy to get along with."

Speaking to Tikba, Guarrin grumbles, "Sounds like someone I know."

A sleek furry mouse says, "Be sure to have a few ladies flirt with him, pay him compliments."

Cryheart says, "Our squire Tennalnen, beat him in a game, and the bet was for him to come and have dinner with us."

Goldstr says, "Dame Evia playin her bagpipes should ease his mind a bit."

Mourdeyan says, "Wif Elidal specifically."

Evia says, "I thought jaunty tune would work well."

Lylia murmurs, "Well, I am a woman wed, but I am not a woman dead. I dressed for the occasion."

Noctiss says, "Congratulations."

Lylia silkily says, "And of course, Xorus is here. I could not find myself in too much trouble."

Speaking to Lylia, Evia says, "I consider myself the occasion wherever I go."

Kiyna says, "Perhaps he'll be too blinded by Lylia to notice me in the first place."

Kiyna says, "...Or perhaps the table will be too high and he won't see me over it."

Speaking amusedly to Guarrin, Tikba says, "I would rather not attempt to guess who you mean, my friend. It might prove embarrassing."

Speaking to Mourdeyan, Guarrin says, "Sir Geijon tells me they are serving your favorite lager over at the Hearthstone party."

Tikba lightly asks, "More to her taste?"

Lylia says, "I brought a bottle of absinthe for our guest, should he opt for something other than the usual grog or rum or whatever it is that is drunk on ships."

Thrassus says, "I think they drink lantern oil."

Speaking to Lylia, Evia says, "Perhaps port...like any port..in a storm."

Kiyna says, "I brought him something that he might enjoy."

Speaking to Evia, Lylia says, "Oh, I like that."

Xorus says, "Ah, yes. Grog. We have both kinds of liquor. Rum, and watered down rum."

Cryheart says, "Gifts are a good idea."

Speaking to Lylia, Guarrin says, "That was, or is, the favored drink of a friend of mine."

Yardie says, "I have my drink."

Kialeigh exclaims, "Gift ready!"

Speaking to Kiyna, Tikba praises, "Clever."

Brisca says, "Sorry for running lake."

Brisca says, "Late.."

Chandrellia exclaims, "Oh I have a wisp now!"

Lylia asks, "I smell something delectable. Is it quail?"

Lithyia whispers something to Tennalnen.

Lylia says, "Oh, how darling -- a lovely wisp."

Tennalnen whispers something to Lithyia.

[General] Dwi asks, "Know wot dey call da red forest past da flyin snakes?"

Lithyia whispers something to Tennalnen.

Noctiss says, "Wisps like having dinner with captains."

[General] Dwi thinks, "G'luck."

Noctiss says, "So I hear."

Dinner Arrangements

Emissary Samfelt just arrived.

[General] Directed to Dwi, Mauss thinks, "Pixie-dust."

Speaking to Xorus, Yardie asks, "Is this how you play catch?"

Tennalnen whispers something to Lithyia.

Cryheart says, "Evening Emissary Samfelt."

Speaking to Samfelt, Chandrellia exclaims, "Good eve to you!"

[General] Directed to Mauss, Dwi thinks, "Heh...dat's safer."

Speaking to Samfelt, Tennalnen says, "Emissary."

Speaking cordially to Samfelt, Guarrin greets, "Herald."

Speaking warmly to Samfelt, Lylia says, "Hello there. We have been so looking forward to this."

Samfelt deeply says, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to our feast, to celebrate an alliance between our people and the new season."

Avrey exclaims, "I've been looking forward to this ever since the roshambo!"

Samfelt deeply says, "Hopefully we can enjoy the company of our specially invited guest from afar. I suspect he will be quite a spectacle."

Samfelt smiles.

Cryheart says, "To say the least."

Evia says, "Nothing like a cool moonlit night and a delicious dinner."

Speaking amusedly to Samfelt, Guarrin says, "I do hope you and the Baron are ready for some music."

Lylia murmurs, "Oh, I do love a spectacle."

Samfelt deeply says, "They should have the food ready soon. I'm quite hungry, myself."

Lylia says, "It smells delectable."

Cryheart says, "Same."

Speaking cordially to Samfelt, Kialeigh says, "I'm sure it will be delicious."

Bernadette softly says, "Lookin forward to it."

Speaking to herself, Avrey mutters, "Must remember my manners."

Jiarine says, "Who IS this guest? I must have missed the name somewhere."

Tikba says, "Captain Bodohal, of the Shiver."

Cryheart says, "The Captain of that big warship."

Speaking to Samfelt, Chandrellia asks, "Yes who is this guest tonight?"

Lithyia whispers something to Yardie.

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly exclaims, "Dat me!"

Jiarine says, "I rarely keep up with the humans here."

Chandrellia asks, "That is the surprise guest?"

Yardie says, "I just brought drinks."

Lithyia whispers something to Yardie.

Samfelt deeply says, "Lord Elidal wanted you all to feel appreciated for the hard work we have done together, and that this feast be remembered for how we can bring about justice when it is most needed. We will need to be strong allies in the years to come."

Chandrellia says, "Well that was anti-climatic."

Guarrin says, "Perhaps an odd time for a feast, but, I can appreciate the gesture."

Samfelt turns around.

Speaking to Guarrin, Yardie says, "It is...interesting, to say the least...the timing of it all."

Emissary Samfelt just went into a huge blue silk pavilion.

Speaking to Guarrin, Kiyna says, "We'll take what we can get, at this point."

[Feast Pavilion]

A series of pale vellum lanterns are strung from various corners of the vaulted ceiling, their glow casting a warm illumination to the grand space. Blue silk drapes down the walls of the tent, the symbol of two interlocking circles pierced by an arrow embossed into the fabric. Commanding the focal point of the pavilion, a long fireleaf table sits decorated with an abundance of refreshments. Various velvet settees and silk pillows are clumped together to provide more intimate seating arrangement.

Lylia agrees, "Very little is more important than choosing strong allies and nurturing those bonds."

Speaking to Kiyna, Guarrin says, "Yes I suppose so."

Evia says, "What a lovely table."

Speaking to a long fireleaf table, Tennalnen says, "Quite an assortment."

Cryheart says, "Pillows and settees folks."

Kiyna agrees, "Impressive spread."

Samfelt deeply says, "Please, enjoy the food and wine while we wait for the rest of our guests."

Cryheart says, "If ye desire."

Lithyia says, "Ah good, there is coffee."

Avrey says, "Ohhhh. I haven't had a good meal since leaving Bourth."

Speaking to Avrey, Lylia says, "You are in for a treat."

Speaking to herself, Chandrellia says, "I suppose I can delight in one glass of wine from my home."

Speaking to Avrey, Guarrin asks, "Ah, you are from Bourth?"

Samfelt smiles.

Chandrellia says, "Oh my, the venison is most wonderful."

Speaking to Guarrin, Avrey says, "I'm from Stonevale, the closest thing to Wyrdeep in the north."

Samfelt helps himself to a butter-filled golden brown biscuit.

Samfelt takes a bite of his golden brown biscuit.

Speaking to Avrey, Guarrin says, "I was not aware. Fine country."

Bodohal Drinks

Captain Bodohal just came trudging in.

Speaking quietly to herself, Sirona says, "Oh my. This is a feast."

Speaking to Avrey, Guarrin says, "You would get along well with Lady Akenna, I am certain. She is from the forest."

Bodohal flashes a wide grin.

Speaking to Bodohal, Avrey exclaims, "How nice to see you again, Captain!"

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Burz wake up!"

Niffly squeakily says, "Decision, decision..."

Bodohal says, "Captain Bodohal, at yer service."

Bodohal takes a deep blue flat cap dangling a gold-chained amber teardrop off his head.

Bodohal bows.

Speaking politely to Bodohal, Tikba greets, "Captain. It has been some time."

Bodohal puts a deep blue flat cap dangling a gold-chained amber teardrop on his head.

Cryheart says, "Good evening, Captain Bodohal."

Speaking in Elven, Jiarine asks something you don't understand.

Speaking to Bodohal, Tennalnen says, "Thank you for coming."

Ithilwyn softly says, "Good evening, Captain."

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr says, "Goods to meet ye."

Speaking to Bodohal, Guarrin greets, "Good evening, Captain."

Lylia murmurs, "A rare pleasure to meet someone so well-traveled. Lylia Rashere, delighted to meet you."

Speaking to a long fireleaf table, Avrey says, "So many good looking plates, I can't decide."

Cryheart says, "Food and drinks on the table."

Speaking to Bodohal, Emperia says, "Good evening, Captain."

Bodohal asks, "Good to see that some of you have come around to it. I appreciate those who know when they are wrong. Station, and power, it is to be respected, isn't it?"

Samfelt coughs.

Cryheart says, "Indeed."

Lylia agrees, "A sentiment I have expressed myself."

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia says, "As I am sure you are well aware there is a fine assortment of food and drinks, we were told, to indulge I am sure that includes you."

Tikba pleasantly says, "Indeed, I have learned my lesson very well."

Speaking to Avrey, Guarrin says, "There is a vornavian mourverde, I would suggest."

Samfelt deeply says, "Captain. Why don't you enjoy yourself with a drink? We have vintage from all along the coast."

Novarian says, "This chick is divine as well."

Tikba pleasantly says, "I have brought you a present, by way of apology for my earlier error."

Novarian says, "The chicken that is."

Lylia says, "And some from even farther afield. I must say, Lord Elidal offers an amazing spread."

Bodohal asks, "Of course! It would not be a feast without wine, and ale, and whatever else might be passed my way. Right?"

Lithyia whispers something to Yardie.

Speaking to Bodohal, Guarrin says, "On the contrary, Dame Evia and I had planned on providing a bit of a welcome for you by playing a few songs of the kindred."

Speaking to Goldstr, Bodohal says, "I would hope so. The brigade has men with honor in it, as well. I know a thing or two about that from the twenty-two years of service I've had."

Speaking to Guarrin, Lylia says, "So that is what I heard you practicing earlier."

Bodohal nods at Guarrin.

Speaking to Samfelt, Yardie says, "I assume it is a great asset, that wealth of experience."

Bodohal accepts Tikba's lemon lager.

Bodohal nods at Tikba.

Speaking politely to Bodohal, Tikba says, "To your good health."

Speaking to Bodohal, Novarian says, "How goes the fight agaisnt the Krolvin? I hear you and your crew are quite proficient in that matter."

Speaking to Tikba, Bodohal asks, "You are an aelotoi, is that right?"

Samfelt takes a bite of his golden brown biscuit.

Avrey gushes, "Ohhhh you must try the chicken."

Speaking politely to Bodohal, Tikba says, "I am."

Speaking to Guarrin, Evia says, "My hands slipped."

Speaking amusedly in Giantman to Evia, Guarrin exclaims something you don't understand.

Bodohal says, "I've never met one before I came to Wehnimer's Landing. Spent most of my years at sea."

Twisting off the striated red and grey crystal ball stopper of his red crystal decanter, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the lager inside.

Samfelt takes a bite of his golden brown biscuit.

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Guarrin says, "You are welcome to join us if you wish."

Bodohal exclaims, "Biscuits?! The only bread you need is in a mug, boy!"

Bodohal bursts out in loud, raucous laughter.

Evia says, "I would never dare to do such Lady Lylia."

Samfelt blushes and babbles a few incoherent words, looking sincerely flustered.

Twisting off the striated red and grey crystal ball stopper of his red crystal decanter, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the lager inside.

Cryheart says, "The biscuits taste good, just like a biscuit should."

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Yardie muses, "Could be worse...could have tried to consider buttering it."

Bodohal asks, "What has you all twitchy? Samfelt is it?"

Speaking to Guarrin, Evia says, "Alas, if we only had some fine percussion with us."

Speaking to Bodohal, Lylia says, "Forgive me, I think I have made him twitch when I made a rather rude jest about the butter."

Samfelt deeply says, "'Oh me? Nothing at all Captain Bodohal. I hope you are enjoying yourself, and the drinks we have."

Speaking to Lylia, Kiyna asks, "Oh no... not the one you told me earlier?"

Samfelt nods slowly.

Speaking to Samfelt, Yardie asks, "Should I offer my drink as well?"

Bodohal grins at Samfelt smugly.

Speaking to Lylia, Kiyna says, "That's... not for pleasant company."

Cryheart asks, "Did the biscuit not go down right, Samfelt?"

Cryheart says, "Hae a drink."

Speaking to Evia, Guarrin agrees, "Good music for dancing."

Speaking contritely to Samfelt, Lylia says, "I shall try to be a bit more circumspect."

Twisting off the striated red and grey crystal ball stopper of his red crystal decanter, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the lager inside.

[Realm] The invoker thinks, "Residents of Wehnimer's Landing, I will be arriving to Town Square, Small Park in approximately 15 minutes to offer spells to those in need."

Bodohal asks, "Any problems with krolvin around here of late?"

Bodohal hiccups!

Bodohal stares at Chandrellia.

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia says, "Nope."

Speaking playfully to Chandrellia, Yardie scolds, "Are you saying he can't hold his alcohol?"

Lylia coolly says, "They are krolvin, and therefore a problem just by breathing, I find."

Speaking to Bodohal, Novarian says, "We had some trouble a bit back, they left, but you know how they are, they always come back."

Goldstr says, "Always a bit a Krol trouble."

Cryheart says, "But we keep our eyes opened."

Twisting off the striated red and grey crystal ball stopper of his red crystal decanter, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the lager inside.

Bodohal looks rather relaxed.

Speaking to Yardie, Chandrellia says, "Dont know if he or cant, just looking out for the Lad is all."

Lylia says, "Should have finished the work at Glaoveln."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "None but the usual. Just had opportunity to destroy many some nights ago."

Bodohal says, "Glaoveln."

Bodohal scoffs.

Evia says, "Growing mighty thirsty."

Speaking to her cheese crab cake, Avrey says, "Well, here's hoping you agree with me."

Speaking to Tikba, Guarrin asks, "Is that what you wish to hear?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Emperia exclaims, "I must admit, I have never been on a ship in my life. It must be exciting to be a captain!"

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "I had the pleasure of watching her sail past the sea gate. Fairly gleams, she does. No ordinary vessel, that much is plain from a glance."

Bodohal says, "It's a good sized ship. But it's not just any ship. It was built about twenty years ago, when the krolvin invaded Torre, and was sent to siege Glaoveln. I was just a member of the crew then."

Speaking to Bodohal, Yardie asks, "So how did you become the Captain?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Avrey exclaims, "That must be a very interesting story!"

Speaking to Bodohal, Evia says, "Perhaps Lady Lylia will lend you a lap as a pillow."

Lithyia offers Bodohal a small wedge of mild cheese.

Kialeigh says, "Yes, it's quite relaxing music. Just close yer eyes and listen.. it's so much nicer."

Lithyia asks, "Some food?"

Lylia agrees, "I have an accommodating lap."

Speaking to Lylia, Kiyna says, "I'll have to test this sometime."

Cryheart recites:

"Unfurl the sails, and break out the rum

then follow with some ale, and beat the drums"

Avrey disappointedly says, "Oh there's just a few bites of that lobster."

Lylia says, "Mm, you should."

Kiyna offers Bodohal a jar of tobacco-infused whiskey bound with black thorn vines.

Speaking to Lylia, Evia says, "I think of mine as commodious."

Speaking to Bodohal, Lylia asks, "Have you ever sailed as far south as Behizet?"

Lylia breathes, "The Jewel of the Wastes..."

Lithyia softly asks, "Did he fall asleep with his eyes open?"

Kiyna says, "The Captain sure knows how to enjoy himself."

Speaking to Cryheart, Yardie asks, "Save a crab cake for Madame Missoni?"

Kialeigh says, "Shhhh.. let's let him rest while we enjoy the feast..."

Evia says, "He's merely contemplating."

Cryheart says, "Good idea."

Bodohal sniffs.

Bodohal holds his head and moans.

Bodohal tries to stuff his tobacco-infused whiskey in his ear.

Lithyia softly says, "Deep in thought he is."

Speaking to Yardie, Guarrin says, "Oh yes, please do."

Cryheart asks, "Ye ok, captain?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Evia says, "Perhaps you can sing us a little ditty."

Avrey says, "I think the whiskey needs to go in your gullet, not your ear."

Kiyna says, "Must know some good shanties."

Kialeigh quietly says, "Maybe someone could sing a nice... calming song."

Evia asks, "Something like singing...Sam?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Lylia says, "Oh, indeed, I think there is not a sailor alive who does not know some fantastic shanties."

Ithilwyn sings ethereally:

"Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby

Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay

And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love for the road that you go."

Chandrellia says, "Ihave one but I doubt anyone wants to hear my voice this night."

Ithilwyn sings ethereally:

"May you sail fair to the far fields of fortune

with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet

And may you need never to banish misfortune

may you find kindness in all that you meet."

Tikba quietly murmurs, "For those who wonder, I am told that Kayse's party has already begun."

Evia asks, "Did I just hear snoring?"

Speaking appreciatively to Ithilwyn, Lylia murmurs, "Who knew you had such a lovely voice?"

Ithilwyn sings ethereally:

"May there always be those to watch over you

to guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you safe from all harm

loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay."

Bodohal hiccups softly, swaying as he does.

Speaking to Tikba, Kiyna counters, "Ours is better."

Lithyia says, "He's alive...just drunk."

Ithilwyn sings ethereally:

"May you bring love and may you bring happiness

be loved in return to the end of your days

Now fall off to sleep

I'm not meaning to keep you

loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay."

Lylia says, "Mm, any party where Xorus is is naturally a better party."

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Lylia says, "That was lovely."

Xorus says, "This is correct."

Speaking softly to Lylia, Ithilwyn says, "Thank you."

Ithilwyn softly says, "It's been a while since I sang."

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr says, "Has dis an drink uo."

Cryheart says, "Was great."

Ithilwyn softly says, "When I was at court, to be honest."

Yardie says, "Lovely voice."

Lylia quips, "I think we agreed long ago that I am always right, so long as I agree with you."

Kiyna boasts, "We have the mighty Captain Bodohal, after all. Brings a whole new life to the party. Feel sorry for Kayse's tepid function."

Lylia says, "Poor love, she cannot always throw the most exciting galas."

Xorus says, "I make sure to anticipate the right answers."

Bodohal hiccups!

Twisting off the disc of pure onyx of his alexandrite ewer, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Twisting off the disc of pure onyx of his alexandrite ewer, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Bodohal blinks his eyes a few times, looking quite drunk.

Bodohal asks, "Howsh everyone doing?"

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Evia says, "Fantastic."

Bodohal begins to sway and loses his balance, falling down.

Bernadette softly says, "Wonderdul tanks."

Chandrellia says, "Most excellent."

Speaking to Bodohal, Lylia says, "Wonderful."

Cryheart says, "We are enjoying the meal and drinks."

Evia says, "The pillows are sooooo soft and welcoming."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "Just waiting for you, Captain. You were about to tell us about your greatest victory."

Speaking to Bodohal, Lylia says, "Still hoping for a sea shanty, though."

Speaking to Bodohal, Emperia says, "Lovely."

Lithyia asks, "How are you doing Captain?"

Tikba blandly says, "I have enjoyed myself very much."

Chandrellia says, "I shall return in a moment."

Speaking softly to Bodohal, Ithilwyn asks, "Captain, do you have a favorite song?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh says, "Very well thank you. It's such a lovely evening! Your drink is looking low! You should have some more."

Sirona quietly says, "Yes, more sea shanty's."

Evia says, "Perhaps something relaxing...for the digestion."

Speaking to Guarrin, Kiyna asks, "How is it I didn't know you played?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Guarrin mentions, "Every morning."

Kialeigh says, "Maybe some nice warm rolton milk...."

Kialeigh exclaims, "That always helps make the night last!"

Speaking to Kialeigh, Lylia asks, "Raspberries are one of my favorites. How did I miss those on this lovely table?"

Lithyia says, "I think the good Captain here enjoyed your drink Yardie."

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"Of all the money that ere I had

I spent it i-n good company

And all the harm that ere I've done

Alas was to none but me."

Speaking to Lylia, Emperia says, "They are quite delicious."

Speaking to Lithyia, Yardie says, "Glad to hear it."

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"And all I've done for want of wit

To memory now I cant recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be to you all."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "Got more of that whiskey if you've run dry."

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health what'er befalls

Then gently rise and softly call

Goodnight and joy be to you all"

Lithyia whispers something to Yardie.

Twisting off the black-foiled wooden lid of his glass jar, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the whiskey inside.

Bodohal blinks his eyes a few times before bobbing his head, looking quite drunk.

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Evia says, "What a wonderful song."

Bodohal noisily attempts to sit, swaying while he does.

Bodohal sits up.

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"Of all the commrades that ere I had

They're sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that ere I had

They wish me one more day to stay."

Lithyia whispers something to Yardie.

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh exclaims, "You should kick your feet up and rest em on the chair! How often do you getta do that? Rest them sea legs!"

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"But since it fell into my lot

That I should I rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and softly call

Goodnight and joy be to you all"

Speaking quietly to Kialeigh, Sirona says, "Or a pillow."

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr says, "Drink up me friend."

Kialeigh says, "I have one you can borrow."

Bodohal hiccups!

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health what'er befalls

Then gently rise and softly call

Goodnight and joy be to you all"

Twisting off the black-foiled wooden lid of his glass jar, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the whiskey inside.

Bodohal grins idiotically.

Kialeigh says, "Here.. rest yer head."

Lylia says, "Feel free to relax. It is too fine an evening to worry about sitting up straight and minding manners."

Chandrellia sings warmly:

"Good night and joy be to youuu, allllllll"

Evia says, "Oh dear me."

Speaking softly to Bodohal, Ithilwyn says, "So tense, you should relax."

Speaking to Lylia, Kiyna says, "An attitude I wish was more prevalent at Moot Hall."

Speaking to Bodohal, Evia says, "So cozy here."

Kialeigh says, "Yeah.. Watch us enjoying the evening.. Strapping guy like you deserved a res."

Speaking quietly to Chandrellia, Sirona says, "Well done."

Kiyna says, "As long as we're showing off..."

Lylia says, "Oh, Moot Hall, have barely darkened the place once I no longer had to be there for this or that. Politics...pfeh."

Speaking to Sirona, Chandrellia says, "Thank you, I dont sing often for crowds."

Speaking to Chandrellia, Evia says, "Perfect selection."

Sirona quietly says, "Well it was lovely. You should do it more often."

Speaking to Lylia, Avrey whispers aloud, "You were Mayor?"

Elidal Arrives

Lord Elidal just arrived.

Kialeigh says, "Mmmm.. these are SO nice..."

Cryheart says, "Good evening, Lord Elidal."

Elidal grins.

Elidal bows.

Speaking blandly to Elidal, Tikba greets, "Elidal. It is always a pleasure to see you."

Bodohal spouts some gibberish.

Sirona quietly says, "Nice to see you again."

Bodohal rocks back and forth in an attempt to stand up, using his hands for balance.

Bodohal stands up.

Elidal says, "Good evening everyone."

Speaking to Elidal, Evia says, "Greetings good Sir."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin says, "My Lord. Your guest ..."

Bodohal drunkenly exclaims, "Drink!"

Lylia warmly calls, "Lord Elidal! What a lovely evening, and how kind of you to grace us at your magnificent table."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh exclaims, "I often feel the same way!"

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Lithyia says, "You're funny, Captain."

Speaking to Elidal, Kiyna says, "Sorry we've turned your formal dinner rather raucous, but I figure you care less about that than some others."

Elidal says, "I am sorry for my tardiness. I have some personal matters to...attend too."

Chandrellia says, "Yes yes get the Captain a drink."

Speaking to Elidal, Goldstr exclaims, "Evenin Baron!"

Elidal asks, "Formal?"

Bodohal offers Elidal a jar of tobacco-infused whiskey bound with black thorn vines.

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie asks, "All well?"

Elidal chuckles.

Elidal accepts Bodohal's tobacco-infused whiskey.

Elidal grins at Bodohal.

Elidal says, "I shy away from formal, in truth."

Speaking softly to Bodohal, Ithilwyn asks, "How did that feel? Need more?"

Speaking to Elidal, Tikba says, "I hope all is well."

Elidal says, "We'll leave those things to Vornavis."

Elidal smirks.

Speaking to Elidal, Lylia says, "Our illustrious captain has quite enjoyed that whiskey."

Avrey says, "Oh thank goodness."

Elidal asks, "Ah...Captain Bodohal I presume?"

Elidal peers quizzically at Bodohal.

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie says, "And the rum."

Bodohal drunkenly exclaims, "Me!"

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Lylia agrees, "And the rum."

Kialeigh says, "He's had a most enjoyable evening."

Bodohal bows to Elidal.

Bodohal suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason.

Speaking amusedly to Bodohal, Tikba agrees, "You, yes."

Evia says, "Oops."

Elidal asks, "Have you been treated well Captain?"

Speaking to Elidal, Avrey shares, "We might have plied him with all the liquor and then some."

Lithyia says, "He's enjoyed some fantastic drinks."

Guarrin notes, "You set a fine table, and some of the brews that were gifted have been highly praised."

Chandrellia says, "He most definately enjoyed your selection of fine drinks, along with Master Drink Maker Yardie."

Lylia says, "And some songs, and even a shoulder-rub."

Elidal grins at Guarrin.

Ithilwyn softly says, "He has an ear for music as well."

Elidal says, "That is good to hear, but most thanks goes to locals of Wehnimer's Landing."

Speaking to Elidal, Kialeigh says, "We've all treated him very well with the respect he so deserves."

Evia says, "Aaaw shucks."

Elidal says, "I relied upon many of your town vendors, suppliers for the refreshments."

Speaking to Elidal, Lylia says, "You know we love to offer a warm welcome."

Elidal says, "They did not disappoint."

Guarrin whispers something to Elidal.

Bodohal grunts.

Elidal asks, "Have I missed much?"

Twisting off the disc of pure onyx of his alexandrite ewer, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Bodohal blinks his eyes a few times, looking quite drunk.

Bodohal says, "Plenty of ale."

Bodohal nods at Elidal.

Lylia says, "We heard about Glaoveln, a bit."

Cryheart says, "Just drinking, eating and conversing."

Bodohal says, "We haven't eaten."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie says, "Just food and drink and camaraderie."

[General] Esmee thinks, "By the gods this night bites."

Kialeigh says, "Nope, according to the poor people who couldn't be here... unfortunutely... it's going very smooth."

Kialeigh says, "The night is very quiet."

Speaking to Elidal, Tennalnen says, "The Captain has been entertaining us, and we have been entertaining him."

Speaking in Elven to Bodohal, Jiarine scolds something you don't understand.

Lylia says, "Though we were promised some sea shanties and have not heard one yet..."

Speaking to himself, Tennalnen says, "Plenty of whiskey."

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Sirona says, "You missed Cryheart's then."

Sirona quietly says, "It was good."

Speaking to Sirona, Lylia asks, "It was -- but how often do we have an illustrious captain in our midst?"

Sirona quietly says, "Its true."

Sirona quietly says, "I was hoping the Captain had one at the ready."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh says, "Maybe have some of this food then. But with food, you'll have to have some more to drink with it."

Bodohal blinks a few times and gets a silly grin on his face.

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr asks, "Cap'tan Ye has a Shanty to sing?"

Bodohal says, "Krolvin are a danger to all on the coast, Lord Elidal."

Bodohal bends his knees and leans back, attempting to sit, only to miss and fall flat on his rear!

Elidal pours himself a shot of dark topaz whiskey.

Bodohal spouts some gibberish.

Thrassus says, "I think I've had a bit much, I should go sleep this off."

Speaking to Bodohal, Guarrin agrees, "Indeed they are."

Speaking softly to Bodohal, Ithilwyn says, "Tell me more about yourself."

Elidal says, "I am only twenty eight years young...but I have learned in such a short time Captain, that dangers equally exist beyond the coast as they do inland."

Speaking to Bodohal, Evia asks, "Does your crew play music for you?"

Bodohal grins.

Bodohal taps his purple rum against his nose.

Kiyna offers Bodohal a jar of tobacco-infused whiskey bound with black thorn vines.

Bodohal nods at Elidal.

Bodohal accepts Kiyna's tobacco-infused whiskey.

Bodohal says, "Especially when it comes to krolvin."

Elidal asks, "Do you fear them Captain?"

Lylia agrees, "Treacherous krolvin. We have felt their scourge lashing our coasts here too."

Elidal blinks at Novarian.

Elidal nods at Novarian.

Guarrin whispers something to Elidal.

Elidal says, "Captain I wonder, if you will..."

Goldstr exclaims, "Aye1 Only good Krol be a dead Krol!"

Elidal nods at Guarrin.

Cryheart says, "Aye Captain, Krolvin are the enemy."

Elidal asks, "What do you find more dangerous?"

Elidal asks, "The krolvin, or a Magister of the Hall of Mages?"

Elidal peers quizzically at Bodohal.

Elidal moves towards the exit of the tent, planting his feet, and turning to face the room.

Evia says, "Or an empty rum bottle..."

Bodohal hiccups!

Bodohal sits up.

Bodohal asks, "A magister?"

Evia asks, "Hmm?"

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Elidal asks, "Know any of them?"

Elidal peers quizzically at Bodohal.

Speaking cluelessly to her apple and pear brandy, Avrey says, "Aren't you wonderful."

Elidal says, "There is..."

Tennalnen whispers something to Lithyia.

Elidal says, "Well, so many. It's hard at times to recall them all."

Elidal says, "There's Enisius of course, we wear the same face."

Bodohal says, "Of course I know a magister. Have one working for me on The Shiver."

Bodohal looks at Elidal and slowly shakes his head.

Elidal says, "Raelee, perhaps you've heard of her. She once destroyed a port town."

Kiyna says, "You know, they shoot fireballs, do creepy experiments... well, some of them. Probably."

Elidal asks, "Remuliad?"

Elidal peers quizzically at Bodohal.

Evia says, "Fascinating."

Xorus says, "Vlashandra shares a face with Raelee as well."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin mutters, "It was Charl, really."

Bodohal drunkenly says, "Where."

Lylia muses, "Now where have I heard that name..."

Speaking to Bodohal, Yardie asks, "What does he do for work on your ship?"

Tikba murmurs, "Provide leverage?"

Speaking quietly to herself, Sirona says, "So much for the sea shanties..."

Sirona whispers something to Noctiss.

Bodohal asks, "Do you have your own ships, Lord Elidal?"

Elidal says, "River boats, primarily. Ships are being built as we speak. Some south, to escape the harsh winter conditions for awhile, some soon here within Wehnimer's Landing, if the contracts go through."

Elidal asks, "Why Captain?"

Lylia says, "The boatyards of the Landing are much better appointed than they once were."

Noctiss recites:

"Have you ever wondered what flows in the river,

Take me back to times much simplier,

Led me to the river"

Bodohal says, "It seems you might need some protection."

Bodohal says, "I can offer that."

Elidal asks, "From?"

Speaking to Elidal, Kiyna says, "Krolvin, pirates... crazy sea ghosts..."

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr asks, "Fer a cost?"

Speaking to Kiyna, Lylia agrees, "The krolvin are an ever-present danger."

Speaking to Elidal, Bodohal asks, "I've heard rumor you are having trouble with reivers. Krolvin hate reivers. But what if they decided you were a common enemy?"

Bodohal shrugs at Elidal.

Noctiss recites:

"In my hands in the winter,

Take me to times much simplier

When its summer make the blue skies shimmer"

Bodohal says, "Would be a real shame not to have protection."

Chandrellia asks, "Who says he doesnt?"

Elidal says, "I'll be blunt Captain, we're a common enemy of just about everyone right now it seems."

Elidal smirks.

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie asks, "Wait, what?"

Log Part 2: Ship Group

Gathering

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]

Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see the Kialeigh disk, the Vaemyr disk, the Chamorr disk, a fluffy white cat, the skull-shaped Irval disk, an insouciant luck spirit that is flying around, a bushy-tailed golden brown coyote, the Kelfyr disk, a grizzled porcupine, the Stormyrain disk, the repousse copper Perigourd disk raised in leafy designs, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild dark red dog, a doorman, a scorched oak sideboard with some stuff on it, a purple modwir bin and the porch steps.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Kialeigh, Town Councilor Vaemyr, Chamorr, Earthdiver, Irval, Drazaa, Sir Geijon, Magister Raelee, Kelfyr, Alosaka, Stormyrain, Missoni, Perigourd, Strummerat, Markx, Town Councilor Kayse

Kialeigh says, "Good luck baby."

Perigourd says, "Kayse has operational command."

[General] Directed slyly to Mauss, Dwi thinks, "Nope...I gotta suspishun tho...anna she'll not like it when Gutstorm safes da day."

Speaking heartily to Alosaka, Chamorr says, "What."

Speaking heartily to Alosaka, Chamorr says, "Maybe i get to whack an imperial."

Speaking to Chamorr, Perigourd says, "Preferably we don't harm anyone we don't have to."

Alosaka says, "We don't know how much free will the crew have. They may be little better than captives themselves."

Speaking to Alosaka, Perigourd says, "Most of them seem pressed into service through fear and reprisal."

Perigourd says, "At least if what we've been told is true."

Chamorr heartily says, "But theres always the chance we get to whack an imp."

Speaking heartily to Raelee, Chamorr says, "You heard."

Speaking to Chamorr, Geijon says, "Just dinner tonight, Bear."

Drazaa whispers something to Kayse.

Speaking to Drazaa, Stormyrain says, "She's allowing me to have it for my home."

Leafiara amusedly says, "Dinner's elsewhere."

Kayse whispers something to Drazaa.

Speaking heartily to Geijon, Chamorr asks, "Think i could sit still there?"

Chamorr heartily says, "We should take the ship."

Chamorr heartily says, "Fly the landin flag on it."

Speaking to Chamorr, Kayse says, "I will give instructions momentarily."

Speaking lightly to Stormyrain, Drazaa exclaims, "I have to say, it seems like a good addition to me!"

Kayse lightly says, "I give her two days before she draws something on my face."

Drazaa whispers something to Stormyrain.

Perigourd says, "A drawn out fight on board will likely find us all killed."

Stormyrain whispers something to Drazaa.

Kelfyr says, "Just the tiniest, most artistic mustache."

Stormyrain says, "A whisper of one."

Leafiara absently says, "Moment."

[Leafi runs to put heavy things in a locker, then returns]

Chamorr heartily says, "Indeed."

Chamorr heartily says, "We is bein wery wery quiet, shhhhhh."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Stormyrain asks, "I thought you were going to the dinner?"

[General] Samfelt thinks, "Greetings."

[General] Lylia thinks, "Good evening to you."

Geijon says, "Samfelt."

[General] Irval thinks, "Greetings Samfelt."

[General] Tennalnen thinks, "Good evening."

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Good eve Landing and Elanthia."

Alosaka asks, "We didn't plan on him being a part of this, did we?"

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "Good evening."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Vaemyr says, "Talking to some folks, it seems that I'm not sure Bodohal would welcome the councilors."

[General] Cryheart thinks, "Good evening, Emissary Samfelt."

[General] Goldstr exclaims, "Hail Samfelt!"

Perigourd says, "He'll be at the dinner, I expect."

[General] Evia thinks, "Hullo Sam."

Speaking to Alosaka, Missoni says, "He is to escort Bodohol to the dinner, I thought."

Kelfyr says, "He's their Emissary. I'd imagine he'd attend a dinner he assembled."

Leafiara says, "He's the diplomatiwhatsit, so..."

Speaking to Alosaka, Vaemyr says, "Samfelt was going to be Bodohal's personal guard... well at least he volunteered to be as much."

[General] Drazaa greets, "Samfelt, good evening."

[General] Avrey asks, "How nice to hear your voice again, Emissary Samfelt. I trust your journey was uneventful?"

[General] Mourdeyan thinks, "Evenin Samfelt."

[General] Samfelt thinks, "Lord Elidal has arranged for a pavilion to feast within a bit north of the campsite. I will be joining at half a mark past the current hour to allow entry for those who wish to dine. Lord Elidal will be joining us as soon as he is able."

Alosaka says, "Looks like we have some time."

Speaking to Alosaka, Geijon asks, "Trivia?"

Markx says, "Doesn't seem to be much wind."

Speaking to Perigourd, Geijon says, "Remuliad is an ally. At th' least without him even if th' Orb is won by alternative motives. They can't easily use it right away without him."

Speaking to Geijon, Perigourd says, "I expect it takes some skill for it to function."

Stormyrain designates Kelfyr as the new leader of the group.

Stormyrain says, "Oops."

Kelfyr designates Kayse as the new leader of the group.

Stormyrain whispers something to Kelfyr.

Speaking to Wolfloner, Geijon asks, "Ate well tonight?"

[General] Dwi thinks, "I agree wit meself."

Markx says, "I mean... should I go get a sandwich while we wait? If it takes them this long to dock, I'd not fear a fight."

Speaking darkly to Geijon, Wolfloner says, "Had my fill earlier."

Speaking darkly to Geijon, Wolfloner asks, "You?"

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly thinks, "Dunt eat all da food like lasht time, Cryheart."

[General] Dwi asks, "Chamorr? When's da last time ye actually stopp'd a bleeder?"

Geijon says, "Beyond full. Had an early fire roasted meal."

Vaemyr says, "I would think our priorities are somewhat rescue Remuliad, secondary objectives would be sabtoging or destroying the morters and finding the orb if possible, although if we can seize control of the ship itself that could be idea too... I just don't know quite what to expect."

Kayse repeats, "We will discuss what will happen momentarily."

Vaemyr says, "I will shush myself then."

Chamorr heartily says, "Who this guy we rescuin."

Speaking to Chamorr, Geijon says, "We're just eating almonds."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me got me grappler hook."

Mourdeyan says, "Goldstr will not be joinin us."

Mourdeyan says, "He wanted dinner more."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da quickesht way to a man heart......"

Missoni says, "I cannot fault him."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Troo hish back."

Mourdeyan asks, "Is through his chest?"

Speaking to Gutstorm, Kayse asks, "Are you not staying to get Bodohal drunk?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me breakin on da boat."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Kelfyr says, "Aw, I figured you were our ace in the hole to get that man plastered."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Stormyrain asks, "You're leaving Lylia to dine alone?"

Kelfyr says, "Terrible shame, that."

Missoni dryly asks, "On your wedding night?"

Mourdeyan asks, "With Goldstr?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me heard lylia try to marry me, gotta lay low."

Speaking approvingly to Gutstorm, Leafiara says, "Playing hard to get, I like it."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "When me realize da auction tomorrow....me need me money."

Stormyrain asks, "Where did Goldstr go?"

Alosaka says, "He's staying with the feast."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me try to buy da face to da pie device."

Mourdeyan says, "He remains at the pavillion."

[General] Dwi asks, "Know wot dey call da red forest past da flyin snakes?"

[General] Dwi thinks, "G'luck."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dey jush shtannin around outshide."

[General] Directed to Dwi, Mauss thinks, "Pixie-dust."

Mourdeyan says, "Waitin for em to show, so we know tis safe I wager."

[General] Directed to Mauss, Dwi thinks, "Heh...dat's safer."

Speaking to an animated flayed gigas disciple, Vaemyr says, "Stay."

Perigourd whispers something to Arianiss.

Earthdiver says, "You dropped the bass."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Rhaladin says, "Dinnae feel there was enough buildup tae' warrant it."

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly exclaims, "Dat me!"

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "That is quite clever."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Perigourd says, "The Iyo have quite some skill with them."

Speaking to Perigourd, Rhaladin says, "Many wooden things."

[General] Dwi exclaims, "Burz wake up!"

Kayse says, "Bodohal has arrived at the tent."

Rhaladin asks, "Who's leadin' this raid?"

Speaking to Rhaladin, Geijon says, "Almonds? Help yourself."

Speaking to Rhaladin, Stormyrain says, "Kayse, and please listen to her instructions."

Speaking to Rhaladin, Perigourd says, "Kayse has overall command, once we board I'll head the van."

Speaking to Geijon, Rhaladin says, "Nay lad, tha's far tae' much green in there fer' me."

Speaking to Rhaladin, Geijon says, "I fork at it all myself. Love th' cashews and cherries."

[General] Dumple thinks, "If anyone has come across a basket filled with treats perhaps around the rusty cutlass let me know."

Geijon removes a cherry red ash baton wrapped in crisscrossing white ribbons from in his black cloak.

Speaking to Leafiara, Geijon says, "These were well made."

Geijon says, "Of course."

Geijon whispers something to Perigourd.

Leafiara muses, "Will be back momentarily, friends."

[Leafi runs to get a bounty done, then returns]

[Hearthstone, Front Porch]

Airy and open, the porch is enclosed by smooth, freshly painted white modwir up to a height of about four feet. As you ponder the sky-blue color of the ceiling and a lacework of deep green ivy that crisscrosses the open space between posts, the hubbub of the world beyond quickly fades away. Rocking chairs of various sizes are an inviting sight, and an elegant green marble arch provides a tantalizing view of the splendors inside the old manor. You also see a green-eyed white kitten, a sleek furry mouse, an animated flayed gigas disciple, the cherrywood Arianiss disk etched with lotus blossoms, a bushy-tailed golden brown coyote, the Vaemyr disk, the Chamorr disk, a fluffy white cat, the skull-shaped Irval disk, the Kelfyr disk, a grizzled porcupine, the Stormyrain disk, the repousse copper Perigourd disk raised in leafy designs, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild dark red dog, a doorman, a scorched oak sideboard with some stuff on it, a purple modwir bin and the porch steps.

A moss green music box inlaid with tiny crystal fish plays a merry melody.

Speaking heartily to Peche, Chamorr says, "Sleepy."

Leafiara curiously says, "Oh, that's a cute music box."

[General] Dwi thinks, "Wot!>"

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly thinks, "Dat wud Leafi dat time."

Chamorr heartily says, "I have an idea."

Arianiss asks, "Is it sitting instead of standing?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We should wear mashsks if we go on da boat sho dey not recknize ush."

Chamorr heartily says, "Lets cancel for tonight and get a good nights sleep and do it tomorrow afternoon."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Perigourd says, "I expect they'll know where to find us."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Fine, take yoo doopid chair."

Speaking heartily to Chamorr, Dwi asks, "Wot's da hubbub?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wamme gettem Dwi?"

Speaking heartily to Gutstorm, Dwi says, "Dont work uppa sweat."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "He may git hernia if him not park him toosh."

Kayse grabs a scrap of papyrus parchment from a small pocket inside of her onyx melton drape.

Speaking to Gutstorm, Geijon asks, "How long does it take you to get drunk each morning after waking up?"

Kayse opens her folded parchment.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dunno."

Dwi heartily says, "Cats anna mouses anna doggies..dis a good zample o' how to gitta long."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me not drunk doh."

Irval says, "He's almost there."

Geijon says, "Ya can't drink all day, if you don't start in th' mornin."

Geijon says, "I doubt Bodohal gets drunk at this."

Stormyrain says, "He already is, from the reports."

Stormyrain says, "Just not the level we wish, yet."

Kelfyr says, "Trust in the plan."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "So we gonna tie-a-top around Dwi and tosher onta da boat to pull us up?"

Chamorr heartily says, "Wheeee."

Speaking to Kayse, Arianiss asks, "Shall we go see the Invoker?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dwi, dat roshcoe."

[Town Square, Small Park]

A small, shaded park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bright lamplight from the square filtering through the passage to the north to illuminate the area with a soft glow. A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object. You also see the Hajan disk, a gargantuan cloudy grey tiger, the sparkling Kataric disk, the Melvarson disk, the Dogrot disk, the Ikeye disk, a tearful forest spirit that is flying around, the Umelor disk, the Platio disk, the Wilmot disk, the Idasia disk, the Prothiel disk, some ornate wrought iron benches, a mass of charred building remnants and a tall black bulwark tower.

[Leafi manages to fall out of the group, but catches back up when they're at the dock]

Boarding with Tolmis

[Wehnimer's, North Dock]

The dock's planks are dull and weathered from the salt spray of many seasons. Northward beyond the massive sea gates, a flock of ice geese passes, silhouetted against the sky over the waters of Darkstone Bay. The hulk of a derelict coastal sailer is tethered to the end of the pier. You also see the Alosaka disk, the silk-veiled Kayse disk painted with scarlet snapdragons, a lazy wild dark red dog, a grizzled porcupine, a bushy-tailed golden brown coyote, a portly portmaster, a stack of empty crates, a wide ramp, a rope-lined wooden plank bridge that leads to the archway of a large moored white-masted ship and a huge grey imperial warship.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Arianiss, Markx, Drektor, Drazaa, Town Councilor Vaemyr, Earthdiver, Irval, Magister Raelee, Kelfyr, Alosaka, Stormyrain, Missoni, Perigourd, Sir Geijon, Town Councilor Kayse, Tolmis

Tolmis nods.

Leafiara cheerfully greets, "Good eve."

Kayse asks, "Did we leave anyone on the porch?"

Tolmis says, "His guard changed about an hour ago, they should be settled and unwary."

Stormyrain asks, "Rhaladin? Was he still with us?"

Arena Hero Rhaladin just arrived.

Kayse asks, "Can someone run back to the porch and make sure we are all here?"

Missoni says, "Oh."

Speaking to Tolmis, Kayse asks, "Shall we gather around you?"

Tolmis says, "We will need to travel into the bay from here."

Tolmis points at the murky waters of Darkstone Bay.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me got me grappler hook Tolmis!"

Speaking to Tolmis, Geijon says, "Eve again."

Tolmis says, "There won't be anyone to follow, or lead."

Leafiara affirms, "Ready when everyone else is."

Tolmis leaps off the docks and jumps into the waters of Darkstone Bay!

Leafiara says, "Oh."

[Darkstone Bay]

Cold waters splash around you, catching you in the midst of waves that slosh about in the Darkstone Bay. Grizzled workers move along the docks of Wehnimer's Landing, loading and unloading ships lined up along the water's edge. You also see the Gutstorm disk.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Seaward Gutstorm, Earthdiver, Tolmis

From nearby, you hear Dwi yell, "Why ye all swimmin?"

From nearby, you hear Dwi yell, "I gots da Sprout rite here!"

Tolmis's group just went north.

[Darkstone Bay]

The ocean swells rise up high, crashing down in loud splashes of water and foam. Small bits of kelp float along the surface of the dark waters.

Speaking to Tolmis, Geijon asks, "What is th' prime mission?"

Tolmis's group just went north.

[Darkstone Bay]

The ocean swells rise up high, crashing down in loud splashes of water and foam. Small bits of kelp float along the surface of the dark waters.

Kayse asks, "Did we leave anyone behind?"

Tolmis says, "We are trying to save the magister, so he can accuse Bodohal of what has actually happened. I have no idea what will occur once that transpires. I will likely remain a deserter in the eyes of the Empire."

Geijon nods at Tolmis.

Tolmis's group just went west.

[Darkstone Bay]

In every direction the murky blue waters of Darkstone Bay spread out all around you. Small waves rise and fall, sending ripples of foam and bits of kelp floating along the surface. The silver glow of the moon cascades down, causing patches of the sea to almost gleam like metal. You also see the Gutstorm disk and a massive deep blue man o' war with silky golden sails.

Irval says, "Dinnae about any of you. But I can't tread water forever."

Speaking to Irval, Stormyrain says, "Water walking is delightful."

Speaking to Tolmis, Arianiss says, "Welcome to Wehnimer's Landing."

Speaking quietly to Gutstorm, Alosaka hisses, "Stay with the group."

Speaking flatly to Irval, Leafiara says, "It's been a couple minutes. Suck it up."

Speaking to Tolmis, Geijon says, "We'll get Magister Remuliad. That is success by itself."

[General] Dwi asks, "So...alla da knuckleheads is walkin onna da bottom...wit alla deses perfectly fine boats sittin here?"

[General] Dwi thinks, "Dis why I got to bed early."

Tolmis glances up.

Gutstorm drunkenly whispers aloud, "Dey shneepin."

A mariner on The Shiver's aftcastle continues his patrol, moving closer to the helm.

A mariner on The Shiver's forecastle continues his patrol, moving further away.

Tolmis says, "Get ready."

Irval says, "Ready."

Tolmis quietly moves through the waves, heading toward a massive deep blue man o' war with silky golden sails.

[everyone uses GO repeatedly until...]

You grit your teeth and climb up the hull of a massive deep blue man o' war with silky golden sails!

[The Shiver, Main Deck]

The whistles and squawks of a macaw resound from a crow's nest above the immense wooden deck of the vessel, affixed near the top of its gargantuan main mast. Golden silk sails are furled against the wide yardarms that extend above either side of the thick railing, and rows of gleamingly polished cannons are stationed on either side of the ship in shallow, recessed alcoves. The motion of the sea is barely noticeable aboard such a massive ship and dense, clinging mist blocks all sight of Darkstone Bay. You also see a thick ironwood deck hatch with a heavy rope handle.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Mourdeyan

Kelfyr just climbed up and over the ship's railing, planting both feet firmly on the main deck of The Shiver.

[and the others arrive]

Tolmis just climbed up and over the ship's railing, planting both feet firmly on the main deck of The Shiver.

A blue-clad human mariner just arrived.

A blue-clad human mariner swings a deep blue morning star at Stormyrain!

Geijon says, "Hgold."

[Gutstorm casts Limb Disruption; Perigourd uses Symbol of Sleep; Irval casts Bone Shatter]

Kayse says, "Hold."

[Gutstorm limb disrupts]

Geijon says, "Hold."

[Rhaladin attacks]

Missoni says, "Hold."

[mariner attacks; Stormyrain sings Song of Peacve]

A blue-clad human mariner drags itself west, limping badly.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me only break him leg."

Perigourd exclaims, "Throw down your arms!"

Stormyrain hisses, "Hold."

Tolmis says, "We need to silence that one, or they will wake the rest."

Tolmis's group just went west.

[The Shiver, Helm]

Clinging mist churns around the high railings of a raised platform situated at the front of the vessel's aftcastle, harboring the mithril-banded wooden wheel of the helm. Just below the platform, an enormous capstan resides nearer to the main deck, scuffed and worn from repeated use. A short passage in the aftcastle leads down a short flight of stairs, where a pair of lanterns brighten the area around a sturdy ironwood door. You also see the cherrywood Arianiss disk etched with lotus blossoms, a deep blue shield, the skull-shaped Irval disk, a blue-clad human mariner that is lying down and a towering mizzenmast flying a blue and yellow flag.

[Irval casts Bone Shatter; Earthdiver casts Sleep]

Arianiss says, "He's silenced."

[Leafiara casts Fervent Reproach; Vaemyr casts Evil Eye; Irval casts Bone Shatter twice; Vaemyr casts Evil Eye; Earthdiver fumbles; Rhaladin attacks; Irval casts Bone Shatter twice; Earthdiver casts something but it doesn't ward; Irval casts Bone Shatter; Vaemyr casts Dark Catalyst; Rhaladin attacks; Irval casts Bone Shatter]

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Leafi ye know dat shpell."

[Earthdiver casts Sleep; Irval casts Bone Shatter; Rhaladin attacks; Irval casts Bone Shatter twice; Rhaladin attacks; Irval casts Bone Shatter; Rhaladin uses Thrash]

Kayse flatly says, "There are other ways to silence people."

Tolmis says, "We are making too much noise. Get this done quickly."

[Irval casts Bone Shatter; Markx casts Dark Catalyst]

Arianiss says, "I already did that."

[Irval casts Bone Shatter; Rhaladin attacks]

Speaking to Gutstorm, Leafiara says, "Yes, but my spells are sung..."

[Perigourd uses Flurry; Markx casts Dark Catalyst; Vaemyr casts Evil Eye; Irval casts Bone Shatter; more of Perigourd's Flurry kills him]

Arianiss says, "I can silence them."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Yoink."

Tolmis's group just went east.

[The Shiver, Main Deck]

The whistles and squawks of a macaw resound from a crow's nest above the immense wooden deck of the vessel, affixed near the top of its gargantuan main mast. Golden silk sails are furled against the wide yardarms that extend above either side of the thick railing, and rows of gleamingly polished cannons are stationed on either side of the ship in shallow, recessed alcoves. The motion of the sea is barely noticeable aboard such a massive ship and dense, clinging mist blocks all sight of Darkstone Bay. You also see a thick ironwood deck hatch with a heavy rope handle.

Tolmis's group just went up.

Macaw's Nest

[The Shiver, Crow's Nest]

Cleverly constructed into the main mast of the vessel, this small platform is surrounded with a lattice of interwoven, flexible boards reinforced with a railing of solid blue mithril. Wooden pegs extend from the mast to provide handholds when accessing the ratlines leading to either side of the nest, a suitable perch for any avian creature that would care to reside here. You also see a deep blue gold-chested macaw.

Kayse says, "There are many here who can subdue or sleep."

Geijon says, "Hatch."

Speaking drunkenly to a deep blue gold-chested macaw, Gutstorm slurs, "Polly wanna cracker?"

Tolmis says, "We need to keep out of view, up here in the nest should do... oh hello Timber."

Tolmis stares at a deep blue gold-chested macaw.

Opening its large, hooked beak and sticking out its tongue, a deep blue gold-chested macaw ruffles its feathers and rapidly shakes its body while squawking loudly, "Intruders! Poop the deck! Intruders!"

Tolmis shushes a deep blue gold-chested macaw!

Leafiara slowly says, "Welp."

Kayse asks, "Anyone have food for the bird?"

[various people try to offer the macaw food]

Speaking to a deep blue gold-chested macaw, Rhaladin says, "Aye, shut yer' trap laddie and stuff it with ah' muffin."

Irval says, "Someone kil the bird."

Raelee quietly mutters, "... typically rely upon the rest of you to have food for a bird."

Speaking to a deep blue gold-chested macaw, Stormyrain croons, "Pretty bird, see the scone?"

Speaking to a deep blue gold-chested macaw, Earthdiver asks, "Want a muffin?"

Tolmis says, "The captain's quarters are to the stern of the ship. The key will be in the footlocker in his quarters."

Tolmis points west.

Tolmis asks, "Someone good with a lockpick here?"

Kayse coos, "Hush, we are friends, not foe."

Kayse points at Drektor.

Mourdeyan says, "I kin bash it."

Kayse says, "He's your man for that."

Speaking softly to a deep blue gold-chested macaw, Missoni says, "Pretty bird, pretty bird."

Drektor moves to stand in front of Tolmis.

Speaking to Mourdeyan, Perigourd says, "Might be a bit too loud."

Tolmis says, "Timber you need to keep it down. You are suppose to be in your cage."

Mourdeyan says, "Not very quiet tho."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Can me keep da bird?"

Earthdiver says, "Birds love muffins."

Tolmis shushes a deep blue gold-chested macaw!

Into the Captain's Quarters

Tolmis's group just went down.

[The Shiver, Main Deck]

The whistles and squawks of a macaw resound from a crow's nest above the immense wooden deck of the vessel, affixed near the top of its gargantuan main mast. Golden silk sails are furled against the wide yardarms that extend above either side of the thick railing, and rows of gleamingly polished cannons are stationed on either side of the ship in shallow, recessed alcoves. The motion of the sea is barely noticeable aboard such a massive ship and dense, clinging mist blocks all sight of Darkstone Bay. You also see a thick ironwood deck hatch with a heavy rope handle.

[The Shiver, Helm]

Clinging mist churns around the high railings of a raised platform situated at the front of the vessel's aftcastle, harboring the mithril-banded wooden wheel of the helm. Just below the platform, an enormous capstan resides nearer to the main deck, scuffed and worn from repeated use. A short passage in the aftcastle leads down a short flight of stairs, where a pair of lanterns brighten the area around a sturdy ironwood door. You also see a crude cracked case swathed in rust-red symbols, a chicken and cashew salad, a deep blue morning star, a deep blue shield and a towering mizzenmast flying a blue and yellow flag.

Earthdiver says, "Hoofprints on that hatch."

Tolmis nods to a sturdy ironwood door.

Tolmis points at a sturdy ironwood door.

Earthdiver's lips move soundlessly.

Earthdiver gestures at a sturdy ironwood door.

Nothing happens.

Speaking to Drektor, Vaemyr says, "Do your thing I think."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Stormyrain says, "Drektor has it."

Drektor removes a slim mithril keyring from in his leather satchel.

Earthdiver says, "Just looking for traps."

Drektor appears extremely focused.

Drektor detaches an iridescent black vaalin lockpick inset with a shadowy black glaes scarab from a slim mithril keyring.

Drektor put a slim mithril keyring in his leather satchel.

Stormyrain murmurs, "If he didn't see them I'd be shocked."

Drektor settles into the difficult task of picking the lock on a sturdy ironwood door.

Then...CLICK! It opens!

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Well da only teefsh me knowed fink dey widdards, me hope yoo knowed one who not."

Earthdiver says, "You never know."

Drektor removes a slim mithril keyring from in his leather satchel.

Drektor attaches an iridescent black vaalin lockpick inset with a shadowy black glaes scarab to a slim mithril keyring.

Rhaladin asks, "... it was unlocked?"

Irval says, "Its open..."

Tolmis's group just went through a sturdy ironwood door.

Key Retrieval

[The Shiver, Captain's Quarters]

Lanterns sway overhead, the dancing flames casting light on a cushioned, high-backed chair positioned behind a similarly constructed desk laden with charts and a tattered map of the Great Western Sea. A canopied bed is made up beneath an expansive window, a dented mithril footlocker bolted to the floor beside it. An elaborate astrolabe hangs on the wood-paneled wall near the door. You also see the skull-shaped Irval disk, the Vaemyr disk, the Gutstorm disk and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Leafiara whispers aloud, "So are we going through?"

Speaking to Rhaladin, Stormyrain says, "Drektor opened it."

Speaking to Rhaladin, Arianiss whispers aloud, "Drektor picked it."

A blue-clad human sailor ambles in.

Kayse asks, "What part of staying together are you two not understanding?" [Gutstorm and Irval went in ahead]

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It magic proof."

[sailor attacks; Earthdiver casts Core Tap; Arianiss casts Silence; Perigourd uses Symbol of Sleep; Leafiara uses Symbol of Sleep; Stormyrain uses Symbol of Sleep]

Speaking quietly to Gutstorm, Alosaka asks, "Stick together, remember?"

Perigourd says, "Hold."

[Earthdiver casts Core Tap; Gutstorm casts something but it does nothing despite warding]

Stormyrain says, "My god."

Drektor begins to meticulously examine a dented mithril footlocker.

[Irval casts Bone Shatter; Stormyrain sings Song of Peace]

Kayse says, "....and do not kill anyone."

Vaemyr says, "He's asleep...."

Geijon says, "Get what we came for."

Stormyrain says, "Yes I put him to sleep."

Irval says, "You people don't have the heart to do what it takes."

Drektor says, "Someone did a goodjob of meltin the lock into goop."

Drektor shrugs at Tolmis.

Speaking to Drektor, Kayse asks, "Do you have an acid?"

Leafiara whispers aloud, "Anyone got a wedge, then?"

Irval says, "It will be the downfall of us all unless you get with the plan. We cant risk capture."

Speaking to a blue-clad human sailor, Missoni says, "Keep quiet and survive the night."

Irval says, "I will NOT be a conscript."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It enruned."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It mifril."

Kayse says, "Casting at it won't do any good."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It vaemyr proof."

Drektor says, "Too late for acid."

Vaemyr says, "It's responding like it will."

Speaking to Drektor, Kayse asks, "Did you want to try your wedge?"

Markx says, "He ain't seem to happy about his situation."

Earthdiver says, "Bash it."

Tolmis points at a dented mithril footlocker.

Rhaladin says, "Ah kin' hit it. Quietly."

Perigourd says, "We can try to bash it."

Speaking to Irval, Geijon says, "Nobody is afraid here Irval."

Mourdeyan says, "Least he's quietly unhappy."

Perigourd says, "If it's fused, anyway."

Arianiss says, "Someone bash it."

Stormyrain asks, "Drektor is looking at it for traps, give him a moment?"

Tolmis says, "Hurry and open that thing, we need the key."

Earthdiver says, "The acid trap fused the lock."

Mourdeyan says, "Would only cause probblems."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Perigourd asks, "Clear?"

Speaking to Drektor, Stormyrain asks, "This is your area of expertise, what do you want us to do?"

Drektor says, "That trunk is too big for me to carry and wedge."

Perigourd says, "Hmm.."

Mourdeyan says, "I told ya, already tried."

Speaking to Drektor, Stormyrain asks, "Bash it?"

Vaemyr says, "Bash away."

Irval says, "I can blast itopen but someone sanctified the room."

Perigourd says, "Can't."

Speaking to Irval, Arianiss says, "That'll reflect."

Speaking to Irval, Missoni says, "You are likly to fry yourself."

Irval says, "Its not enruned."

Earthdiver says, "Don't call lightning a mithril box."

Speaking to Irval, Leafiara whispers aloud, "If you're thinking of lightning, that won't work on mithril."

Tolmis says, "We are going to be surrounded by the crew if we leave this sailor alive."

[Stormyrain uses Symbol of Sleep; Arianiss casts Bind]

Missoni says, "It is mithril."

[Gutstorm casts Blood Burst and the sailor dies]

Earthdiver says, "Unless it's not real mithril..."

Irval says, "Finally."

Arianiss says, "Alright, I'm just going to hang back and let you all do your thing."

Vaemyr says, "Well can find out."

Tolmis asks, "Does anyone know how to open a fused lock?"

Earthdiver says, "Bash it."

Earthdiver says, "Wedge it."

Speaking to Tolmis, Geijon says, "Open it. This is your chance."

Earthdiver exclaims, "Town smith!"

Markx says, "It's mithril. Can't pop mithril."

Mourdeyan says, "WE tried bashin, it doesn't work."

Stormyrain says, "Drektor says it can't be picked up to be wedged."

Mourdeyan says, "Gads."

Speaking to Markx, Earthdiver says, "Not sure it's real mithril."

Missoni says, "I could not phase it."

Missoni asks, "Does anyone have a crowbar?"

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "Not with me."

Geijon says, "Force isn't th' issue."

Speaking to herself, Leafiara whispers aloud, "Another night, another instance of wishing I'd thought to bring my claidhmore."

Missoni exclaims, "Surely someone has a weapon to pry it open, something!"

Speaking to Drektor, Kayse asks, "May I see your wedge?"

Perigourd says, "Worth an attempt."

Mourdeyan asks, "Tolmis ye perchance know where the key is?"

Speaking to Mourdeyan, Stormyrain says, "The lock is fused."

Tolmis says, "The key should be inside."

Tolmis points at a dented mithril footlocker.

Earthdiver says, "Put the wedge in...hit the wedge with something heavy."

Perigourd says, "A maul or a hammer would work well."

Speaking to Geijon, Perigourd says, "Try giving the wedge a good shot."

Perigourd says, "See if we can pop the hinges."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Cant we jush drop Geijon head on it."

Tolmis searches on the desk, and pulls a tattered vellum document from under the map of the Great Western Sea.

Tolmis takes a moment to observe his vellum document.

Geijon says, "This is up to Tolmis seemingly."

Tolmis just opened a hooded black cloak.

Tolmis put a tattered vellum document in his black cloak.

Speaking to Tolmis, Geijon says, "We got you here."

Tolmis just closed a hooded black cloak.

Speaking curiously to Tolmis, Missoni asks, "What is that?"

Tolmis says, "We need to get the key to save the magister."

Arianiss says, "Everyone kick it at once."

Speaking to Tolmis, Stormyrain asks, "Yes we're trying, do you have other ideas?"

Irval asks, "He has the key on him?"

Alosaka asks, "Can we pick the lock on the magister's cell, instead?"

Leafiara whispers aloud, "The key is in the footlocker, but the lock was melted by acid."

Mourdeyan says, "Brilliant."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wunner how dat happun."

Irval says, "Uhh."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Drektor asks, "That is a mystery isnt it?"

Mourdeyan asks, "An no one has acid?"

Alosaka says, "We might have more luck with another lock."

Kayse says, "Acid already melted it."

Leafiara says, "Acid was the problem, not the solution."

Irval says, "Alright well ima try lightning. Seems everything else has failed."

Geijon says, "An acid lock is usually no match for a maul."

Mourdeyan says, "Whadda I know, warrior here, no rogue."

[Irval casts Call Lightning; Arianiss dispels it]

Kayse says, "I thought lightning didn't work on mithril."

Arianiss says, "That will reflect."

Speaking to Kayse, Leafiara says, "It doesn't."

Speaking to Kayse, Missoni says, "It does not."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It dont."

Speaking to Kayse, Vaemyr says, "It doesn't someone is about to die."

Earthdiver says, "It might..it might not be real mithril."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Meybe it fake mifril."

Alosaka says, "If it weren't real mithril we could phase through it."

Earthdiver says, "But we are running out of options and time."

Tolmis gives the footlocker a good kick!

Rhaladin abruptly kicks at a dented mithril footlocker!

Arianiss abruptly kicks at a dented mithril footlocker!

Vaemyr removes a long blue mithril key inset with a murky amber orb from in a dented mithril footlocker.

Alosaka asks, "Tolmis, can we try the lock on the magister's cell?"

Vaemyr offers Kayse a long blue mithril key inset with a murky amber orb.

Kayse accepts Vaemyr's mithril key.

Speaking to Tolmis, Kayse says, "Let's move."

Speaking to Tolmis, Perigourd says, "Let's proceed to the Magister then."

Kelfyr says, "Quietly."

Perigourd says, "And without unncessary bloodshed."

Tolmis's group just went through a sturdy ironwood door.

[The Shiver, Helm]

Clinging mist churns around the high railings of a raised platform situated at the front of the vessel's aftcastle, harboring the mithril-banded wooden wheel of the helm. Just below the platform, an enormous capstan resides nearer to the main deck, scuffed and worn from repeated use. A short passage in the aftcastle leads down a short flight of stairs, where a pair of lanterns brighten the area around a sturdy ironwood door. You also see a chicken and cashew salad and a towering mizzenmast flying a blue and yellow flag.

Irval says, "Right then."

Tolmis's group just went east.

[The Shiver, Main Deck]

The whistles and squawks of a macaw resound from a crow's nest above the immense wooden deck of the vessel, affixed near the top of its gargantuan main mast. Golden silk sails are furled against the wide yardarms that extend above either side of the thick railing, and rows of gleamingly polished cannons are stationed on either side of the ship in shallow, recessed alcoves. The motion of the sea is barely noticeable aboard such a massive ship and dense, clinging mist blocks all sight of Darkstone Bay. You also see a blue-clad human deckhand and a thick ironwood deck hatch with a heavy rope handle.

[The Shiver, Forward Deck]

Rows of gleaming cannons are mounted on the bulwarks, shadowed beneath the lower sail of the vessel's towering foremast. Crewmen dash back and forth along the rigging and ratlines, ensuring the golden sails are properly furled. A heavy ironwood door leads into the forecastle of the ship, windowless and heavily reinforced with thick mithril bands. You also see a blue-clad human deckhand and a blue-clad human sailor.

[sailor attacks; Arianiss casts Silence; Drektor uses Spin Kick; Earthdiver casts Sleep; Perigourd uses Symbol of Sleep; Irval casts Bone Shatter; Leafiara uses Symbol of Sleep; Earthdiver casts Sleep; Gutstorm casts Blood Burst; Arianiss casts Silence; Leafiara uses Symbol of Sleep; Irval casts Bone Shatter; Leafiara uses Symbol of Sleep; Gutstorm casts Blood Burst; Irval casts Bone Shatter; someone uses Subdue; Irval casts Bone Shatter twice]

Geijon says, "'there is little need to engage th' sailors."

[Gutstorm casts Blood Burst]

The voice of Kayse says, "Stop, Irval."

[Irval casts Bone Shatter; Gutstorm casts Blood Burst]

Irval says, "Fine."

[someone uses Subdue; Stormyrain sings Song of Peace]

Stormyrain says, "Let's move."

[General] Esmee thinks, "By the gods this night bites."

Mourdeyan says, "Most of us aren't attacking I shud hope."

Speaking to a blue-clad human sailor, Missoni says, "Go about your business. You saw nothing."

Geijon says, "No real threats so far beyond th' Locker."

Tolmis asks, "Who has the key?"

The voice of Kayse says, "I do."

Tolmis points at a heavy ironwood door.

Drektor settles into the difficult task of picking the lock on a heavy ironwood door.

Drektor gets his vaalin lockpick stuck in the lock! He carefully tries to work it free but bends the tip!

Perigourd says, "Kayse."

[Stormyrain uses Symbol of Sleep; Gutstorm casts Limb Disruption; Earthdiver casts Sleep]

Kayse comes out of hiding.

You hear a click as Kayse unlocks a heavy ironwood door.

[Earthdiver casts Sleep; Stormyrain uses Symbol of Sleep; Geijon uses Bearhug]

Earthdiver says, "Sleepy time."

[Leafiara uses Symbol of Sleep; Stormyrain sings Song of Peace]

Mourdeyan says, "Let's get the magister n'tha artiwhosits an swim."

Alosaka says, "In we go."

Earthdiver says, "Really."

Tolmis says, "Go... the magister is inside."

Tolmis disbands his group.

Tolmis just went west.

Remuliad and the Orb

[The Shiver, Brig]

Mithril bands reinforce the walls of this small, solitary cell. A small counter is mounted to the wall opposite a heavy ironwood door and a pair of hooks anchored to the ceiling support a net and canvas hammock. Manacles are affixed to one of the walls, dangling from thick iron chains. You also see a wooden three-legged stool.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Arena Hero Rhaladin, Kelfyr, Stormyrain, Alosaka, Magister Raelee, Earthdiver, Arianiss, Town Councilor Kayse, Remuliad who is lying down

Earthdiver pulls Remuliad to his feet.

Alosaka focuses on Remuliad with intense concentration.

Remuliad's head wound gradually fades, forming on Alosaka's head instead.

Remuliad groans.

Earthdiver says, "Time to go, my friend."

Stormyrain says, "I'm going to keep peace running until you tell me to drop it."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "Magister."

>l remu

You see Remuliad Calreulius the Academic.

He appears to be a Human from Aldora.

He is average height. He appears to be stooped with age. He has tired stormy grey eyes and alabaster skin. He has unkempt, curly blonde hair with lighter streaks. He has an unshaven face and a crooked nose. He has a scar on the bottom of his chin.

He has a brilliant golden pegasus tattoo on his neck.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing a hooded azure cloak stained with grime, some disheveled white robes, and some bleached rugged leather half-boots.

The air around you turns bitterly cold.

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "Magister? Magister Svala. We have met briefly, in Torre."

Earthdiver says, "That's a good sign."

Vaemyr says, "The orb."

Kayse says, "The orb...."

Remuliad softly says, "Who? Who is this? So many of you."

Alosaka says, "He had a head wound."

Speaking to Remuliad, Perigourd says, "We're here to free you."

Alosaka says, "Speak slowly to him."

Screams from above and below deck resound throughout The Shiver as a rapidly growing patch of ice and frost spreads across the ship's deck and hull!

Speaking gently to Remuliad, Missoni says, "We are here to help."

Irval says, "Oh no."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "Magister Remuliad. Ignore them. Focus on me. Do you know who I am? We need to get the orb under control."

Mourdeyan says, "Here t'help you off tha ship sir."

Irval asks, "The orb whose got the orb?"

Stormyrain asks, "What did Tolmis do?"

Arianiss says, "Revenge."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Perigourd says, "What was sadly expected."

Missoni sighs, "He must have found it."

Irval says, "Rook betrayal."

Irval says, "Go figure."

Irval says, "Comes back to bite us in the arse once again."

Alosaka says, "Let's save the guesswork for later."

Leafiara says, "I would imagine it's more like what did you do by turning this into a very, very loud mission."

Remuliad softly says, "They did not listen to me."

Speaking quickly to Irval, Kayse says, "You're one to talk you disobeyed the mission. Leave the Rooks out of this."

Remuliad softly says, "They wouldn't let me get to it. I needed to infuse mana."

Irval asks, "Disobeyed the mission?"

Kelfyr asks, "What is going to happen?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Missoni says, "Where is it? We can infuse."

Speaking to Remuliad, Perigourd asks, "Where is it? can we take you to it?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "We can do it now."

Irval asks, "Excuse me?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Raelee, dat yoo brudder, lesh go."

Kayse adds Remuliad to her group.

Speaking to Arianiss, Alosaka asks, "What's going on out therE?"

Earthdiver says, "No defenses for you I guess."

Irval says, "You all wanna make friends while on a rescue mission. This is a dire situation. And we need to get him out of here and you all wanna play patsy cake."

Perigourd says, "Moving."

Remuliad softly says, "We need to run."

Kelfyr says, "It's an antimagic cell."

Remuliad just went through a heavy ironwood door.

Blue-clad members of The Shiver's crew attempt to flee by jumping from the main deck and forward deck! One of the sailors is suddenly struck by a tendril of blue energy, freezing him instantly! The sailor's frozen body shatters as its momentum continues downward, towards the icy waves of Darkstone Bay.

Earthdiver says, "They probably have the right idea of it."

Speaking quickly to Remuliad, Raelee asks, "Remuliad! What of the orb?"

Leafiara concludes, "Probably time to go."

Geijon says, "Someone has th' orb."

Perigourd says, "The hatch is sealed."

Perigourd says, "Wwe're leaving."

[someone uses Symbol of Return]

Alosaka says, "I don't think the ship is lasting."

[Irval casts Spirit Guide]

[Wehnimer's, Land's End Rd.]

Vigilant night guardsmen scrutinize the citizens and travelers arriving and departing through the wide gates spanning the land route into Wehnimer's Landing. The cluttered streets of the city to the south are a far cry from the deceptively calm expanse of the wilds of Elanith outside. Two daunting towers survey the countryside and protect the town, flanking the road to the east and west. You also see the town gates, the west tower and a large wooden barrel.

Alosaka asks, "Holding?"

Geijon says, "Town square."

Speaking to Remuliad, Missoni asks, "What will happen to the orb?"

Speaking to Geijon, Kayse says, "No."

Leafiara acknowledges, "That admittedly went far smoother than I anticipated."

[travel]

[Moot Hall, Council Chamber]

A rich merlot carpet stretches from end to end of this large, spacious chamber, which is aglow from the moonlight shining in through several arched windows along an entire wall. Large, verdant green plants rest in terra cotta vases in each corner of the room, and the walls are decorated with detailed paintings of nearby historical landmarks. A circular table sits in the center of the room, surrounded by several wooden chairs. You also see a pink oak door, a polished red cedar door, a reinforced oak door, an ivory-washed birch door and a wide burnished oak archway.

Mourdeyan whispers to the group, "Did someone get the orb?" [left in only for context of Stormyrain's response]

Speaking to herself, Raelee breathes, "... unbelievable."

Stormyrain says, "No."

Speaking to Mourdeyan, Alosaka says, "Tolmis, I'm guessing."

Speaking to Raelee, Kelfyr says, "If only."

Kayse asks, "Why did we bring him here?"

Stormyrain says, "We--assume but we do not know."

Alosaka says, "This is as safe as anywhere."

Geijon asks, "Why are you acting surprised?"

Alosaka says, "Well, I'd prefer the Holding."

Geijon says, "Lets go to the Holding."

Speaking to Kayse, Perigourd says, "We can escort him to the outpost if we like, but confronting there while Bodohal is there may be unwise."

Arianiss offers, "The library of Rone Academy?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "Tell me about the orb."

Speaking to Remuliad, Kelfyr asks, "What will happen without the orb being infused?"

Leafiara says, "Moot Hall might honestly be one of the last places I'd consider when thinking of 'safe'."

Remuliad makes a wheezing sound.

Remuliad softly asks, "Where... where am I?"

Geijon says, "Rone would be wise as well."

Speaking to Remuliad, Vaemyr says, "Wehnimer's Landing."

Earthdiver says, "You are safe."

Speaking gently to Remuliad, Missoni says, "Wehnimer's Landing."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon says, "You are safe."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "Wehnimer's Landing, unfortunately."

Arianiss says, "We could go into a sanctuary for the time being."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon says, "I know you. You know me."

Alosaka asks, "Can we get a chair for the man?"

Mourdeyan says, "Or clear the bench."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "... I do find that some warmth can be reinvigorating."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee suggests, "Now focus, Magister. The orb."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Alosaka says, "You may wish to inform your members to watch for crew members in the water."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me finiched olff da crew on da boat."

Geijon says, "We are friends of Vordilion."

Remuliad softly says, "We... we need to stop the ship."

Remuliad softly says, "It's going to escape."

Kelfyr asks, "How?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon says, "We can go back."

Earthdiver says, "Let's go."

Leafiara determinedly says, "Right then, sounds good."

Kayse asks, "Why did we leave in the first place?"

Remuliad softly says, "Not the ship... the elemental I trapped... in the orb."

Missoni carefully says, "The elemental..."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "That is how it works? An elemental? Interesting..."

Speaking to Remuliad, Kayse asks, "Can we get this orb without you?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee asks, "Is it too late to restrain it? Will it need to be dispatched?"

Remuliad angrily asks, "Where is Bodohal? Did he survive?"

Earthdiver says, "Sounds like we need to get back to the ship."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon says, "He is alive."

Alosaka says, "Bodohal is being taken into custody as we speak."

Speaking to Remuliad, Kayse says, "He is on shore--somewhat nearby."

Remuliad closes his eyes in concentration for a moment. When he opens them again, a soft white glow fills them briefly before fading.

Kelfyr says, "He's being dealt with. Let's focus on the orb."

Kelfyr asks, "Can it be turned off still?"

Remuliad peers quizzically at Alosaka.

Remuliad softly asks, "What do you mean?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Alosaka says, "We lured him off the Shiver as part of the plan to rescue you. He's in a tent in the forest right now, getting drunk."

Alosaka says, "Probably being arrested as we speak."

Vaemyr says, "If there's a powerful elemental about to be unleased, we need to sound the militia, get them prepared to defend the town..."

Leafiara says, "If it's only a single elemental, probably the pylons are better."

Remuliad furrows his brow.

Kayse says, "Sounding an alarm might upset Bodohal."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Stormyrain says, "I'm waiting to hear what else the Magister says so we know what we are dealing with."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon asks, "Do you have reason to accuse Bodohal of transgressions?"

Remuliad softly asks, "Why would Bodohal be arrested?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Alosaka asks, "Listen, you had a bit of a banger on the head when we found you. Maybe sit down for a bit, try to get your wits back?"

Kayse calmly asks, "Can we focus on the orb right now?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Irval asks, "Did he not keep you against your will?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Leafiara says, "For firing on ships around our bay and holding you hostage."

Speaking to Kayse, Geijon says, "We need to secure th' orb."

Speaking to Remuliad, Vaemyr says, "For having you captive for one, for destroying several fishing vesels in the bay for another."

Speaking to Geijon, Kayse says, "We do, but everyone is asking him questions unrelated to the urgency at hand."

Missoni carefully says, "The orb is dangerous."

Speaking to Kayse, Geijon says, "He's not going to offer value in the moment. We need to decide."

Mourdeyan says, "Gads."

Remuliad softly asks, "Yes. He did. But why are you having him arrested?"

Earthdiver asks, "Is anyone from the mission group still on the ship?"

Leafiara wonderingly says, "We just said..."

Mourdeyan says, "By yer leave sir I'll guard tha door."

Speaking to Remuliad, Alosaka says, "He broke several of our laws."

Kayse designates Perigourd as the new leader of the group.

Speaking to Remuliad, Missoni says, "For your kidnapping, and attacks on the Landing as well."

Speaking to Perigourd, Kayse says, "Very well."

Speaking to Remuliad, Vaemyr asks, "Because he committed crimes? why wouldn't we?"

Kelfyr says, "Only one I thought might be is in Helga's."

Earthdiver says, "The second objective is still at hand."

Speaking to Remuliad, Perigourd says, "We're going to take you to the Imperail outpost with Lord Elidal to clear this up."

Perigourd says, "Moving."

[travel]

Leafiara asks, "Wait... what about the elemental?"

[travel]

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me freed it."

[travel]

Vaemyr asks, "Yeah do we not want to head to the bay...?"

[travel]

Leafiara says, "I... think there might be more presing matters--"

Perigourd's group just went into a huge blue silk pavilion.

[Feast Pavilion]

A series of pale vellum lanterns are strung from various corners of the vaulted ceiling, their glow casting a warm illumination to the grand space. Blue silk drapes down the walls of the tent, the symbol of two interlocking circles pierced by an arrow embossed into the fabric. Commanding the focal point of the pavilion, a long fireleaf table sits decorated with an abundance of refreshments. Various velvet settees and silk pillows are clumped together to provide more intimate seating arrangement. You also see a glass of cool spring water, some fragrant violet and plum wine, the Tennalnen disk, the glossy pink Astrilyn disk shaped like a jellyfish, the Avrey disk, the Brisca disk, the Kialeigh disk and the mist-hazed Noctiss disk.

Elemental Problem

Perigourd's group just arrived.

Leafiara says, "Well, never mind."

Elidal says, "Perception, that is."

Elidal nods at Yardie.

Bodohal says, "So what could a little..."

Speaking to Yardie, Chandrellia says, "He did, just, about."

Alosaka says, "Er."

Bodohal drunkenly sings:

"My name is Singing Sam is my name.

I like to sing songs because its time to sing.

To sing sooooooongs. Oooooh. Time to sing.

Time for sings to song Sams!

Sirona quietly says, "Seems that way."

Bodohal sticks out his tongue and spends a moment trying to look at it.

Earthdiver says, "We need to re.."

Remuliad points at Bodohal.

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie says, "Perception goes both ways."

Alosaka says, "There... is a large ice elemental on the bay."

Elidal peers quizzically at Alosaka.

Vaemyr says, "I'm heading to the bay..."

Elidal glances at Remuliad.

Speaking to Alosaka, Chandrellia asks, "Is it an emmisary?"

Missoni greets, "Fair eve everyone."

Speaking to Alosaka, Leafiara acknowledges, "Well, I tried."

Alosaka says, "I don't think so."

Speaking to Alosaka, Earthdiver says, "Maybe we can put it back."

Tikba uncertainly asks, "An expected one?"

Leafiara murmurs, "Gonna go take care of that."

Alosaka says, "The Shiver is destroyed."

Speaking to Missoni, Yardie says, "Try the crab cakes. I hear there good."

Remuliad softly exclaims, "Someone arrest that man!"

[Leafiara leaves to find the elemental]

[Darkstone Bay]

The ocean swells rise up high, crashing down in loud splashes of water and foam. Small bits of kelp float along the surface of the dark waters. You also see the Vaemyr disk, an animated flayed gigas disciple and a gargantuan ice elemental.

Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Town Councilor Vaemyr

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Whoa."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Feisty one."

[combat]

Leafiara says, "Hmm."

[Darkstone Bay]

The ocean swells rise up high, crashing down in loud splashes of water and foam. Small bits of kelp float along the surface of the dark waters. You also see the cherrywood Arianiss disk etched with lotus blossoms, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the Vaemyr disk, an animated flayed gigas disciple and a gargantuan ice elemental that appears immobilized.

Also here: Seaward Gutstorm, Arena Hero Rhaladin, Arianiss, Whimweaver Leafiara, Town Councilor Vaemyr

[General] Leafiara calmly thinks, "Handling the elemental problem."

Rhaladin says, "Ah, 'ello elemental."

Also here: Town Councilor Kayse, Earthdiver, Seaward Gutstorm, Arena Hero Rhaladin, Arianiss, Town Councilor Vaemyr

[combat until it dies]

Leafiara says, "There we go."

Vaemyr says, "Good."

[General] Leafiara helpfully informs, "It's dead."

Earthdiver says, "That was easy."

Kayse asks, "Is there more than that?"

Leafiara says, "Whew."

Vaemyr asks, "Lets check the shiver's wreckage?"

Leafiara says, "Sounds good."

[Darkstone Bay]

In every direction the murky blue waters of Darkstone Bay spread out all around you. Small waves rise and fall, sending ripples of foam and bits of kelp floating along the surface. The silver glow of the moon cascades down, causing patches of the sea to almost gleam like metal. You also see an animated flayed gigas disciple, the Gutstorm disk and a collapsed icy blue man o' war.

Leafiara says, "Hm."

Leafiara says, "Well."

Earthdiver says, "So much for that."

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Captain Bodohal has been placed under arrest by Elidal."

Leafiara says, "Guess that's one problem solved. In a sense."

Earthdiver asks, "Back to the camp I guess?"

Missoni asks, "Did you take care of it?"

Rhaladin says, "Waste o' ah' perfectly good ship."

[General] Kelfyr thinks, "Good work, Leafiara and crew."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me did."

Vaemyr says, "Well it's not sailing away like that."

Speaking curiously to Gutstorm, Leafiara asks, "Wow, you alone?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Yeah."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Leafiara says, "You really are something special."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "And dat emerlemtal try ta kill me."

[General] Leafiara exclaims, "Seems Gutstorm did more work than anyone else!"

Speaking to Gutstorm, Rhaladin says, "Ah' kilt it dinnae worry."

Kayse perplexedly asks, "That was it?"

Vaemyr says, "Well we didn't recover the orb..."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "HUGE ice monter."

Speaking to Kayse, Leafiara muses, "Didn't see anything else out there."

Vaemyr says, "If that was inside the orb it's probably still in there."

Leafiara says, "Have to admit, the way the Magister was talking, I expected something worse."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me nooked ferda orb before me shunk da boat."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Unlesh it in da hatch."

Leafiara says, "Might take my blade a while to warm back up, but..."

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "Come fetch your Captain, Elidal."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Got fire blade?"

Rhaladin says, "Got fire bow."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me wanted dat macaw."

Vaemyr says, "Bohohal tried to run..."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Rhaladin says, "Ah wanted tha' ship."

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "The Captain was taken into custody."

Leafiara asks, "Was the ship that special other than the orb, though?"

Rhaladin says, "Woulda saved me ah' fair mint."

Leafiara relents, "Well, okay, there is that."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "It sheem da ice emenental wash part of da boat."

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "Maybe? we've heard a few different stories about it."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Leafiara considers, "On the other hand, Gutstorm basically destroyed it by himself once the protection was down."

Kayse says, "I thought it was going to be a bigger threat."

Vaemyr says, "Well with it's crew frozen by the elemental..."

Kayse says, "I am going to check in on what has transpired."

Rhaladin says, "Ah suspect it was nae' doin too hot, given tha' crew were jumpin' off."

Speaking to her eonake warblade, Leafiara says, "Still warming up..."

Rhaladin says, "Verra cold sword."

Vaemyr says, "I'll try to convince Thadston to salvage her."

Rhaladin says, "Thankfully ah' sprung fer' tha magically heated grips."

Leafiara says, "Looks pretty destroyed, but I guess something useful could still be in there."

Vaemyr says, "Well if there's something capable of housing a powerful elemental as a power source..."

Vaemyr says, "Probably useful salvage."

Vaemyr says, "But gonna need time it seems."

Vaemyr says, "Better question."

Vaemyr says, "What document did Tolmis take."

Leafiara says, "It looked like a map to me."

Rhaladin says, "Was under ah' map."

Leafiara says, "Oh."

Rhaladin asks, "Mebbe coordinates?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "We believe that Bodohal was after something in Darkstone Castle."

Leafiara asks, "Maybe he took the newest version of the manifest?"

Leafiara mutters, "Why are they always after Darkstone or the Reach..."

Rhaladin says, "'cause they insist on nae' learning from past mistakes."

Leafiara suddenly says, "Wait, do we get knighthood for this? I heard free knighthoods were being handed out the other night."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Sir Me, dat great title."

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "Ooo that's a title Mother didn't give me..."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Leafiara exclaims, "Go apply!"

Leafiara exclaims, "Or... whatever we have to do to qualify!"

Rhaladin says, "Ah dinnae think they knight gladiators."

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Dish make me a Knight now?"

Vaemyr says, "I think we need to die and get skinned alive..."

Vaemyr says, "Or perhaps the opposite order of that."

[General] Evia thinks, "Sir Drinks-Alot."

Leafiara says, "Oh, I've died and been skinned by krolvin before."

Leafiara exclaims, "I'm overqualified!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me no quapiflied to be Knight, me have lot impoor thotsh."

Vaemyr says, "Anyways doesn't look like much more to do here."

Vaemyr says, "Stay safe."

Vaemyr says, "And good job to you all."

Speaking thoughtfully to Gutstorm, Leafiara ponders, "Maybe it's like the research team and there's a big old questionnaire we have to fill out."

Rhaladin says, "Ye as well."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Mebbe."

Leafiara says, "Welp, back to shore, I suppose."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Enisius will prolly claim it."

Rhaladin says, "Gonna prune up."

Leafiara says, "I'll send Elidal a request for my free knighthood."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dame Leafi, nice ring to it."

Leafiara asks, "Right?"

Log Part 3: Re-Group

Arrest

Earthdiver says, "Ooo crab cakes."

Xorus says, "I prefer to be more positive and think of that as unclaimed plinite on the Bay."

Elidal says, "Magister Remuliad, I have heard so much."

Bodohal laughs!

Elidal says, "I am glad you are safe."

Speaking to Bodohal, Goldstr exclaims, "Many of us protect da Landin AND da Settlers!"

Speaking to Remuliad, Guarrin asks, "Magister. Can you clarify as to why?"

Speaking to Xorus, Raelee says, "... a bay will be a more challenging location to manage the chalk circles, but we can sort something you."

Kelfyr says, "Good lord."

Tikba uncertainly says, "That is a large elemental."

Kelfyr says, "It's loose."

[General] Leafiara calmly thinks, "Handling the elemental problem."

Remuliad angrily exclaims, "Oh. Who? What? Where am I? This captain had me taken from a ship! Someone arrest him!"

Alosaka says, "It's... it's on the water still."

Speaking slowly to Xorus, Raelee adds, "... if we return to that very notable problem at hand."

Speaking to Remuliad, Yardie asks, "That is a wicked scar. How'd that come about?"

Elidal says, "Captain Bodohal, I believe it's time you remain ashore."

Speaking to Remuliad, Lylia says, "It is good to meet you finally."

Bodohal holds out his arms for balance and says, "Every... thing... is... spinning."

Irval says, "Beched...you are now Cap'n."

Speaking to Remuliad, Alosaka asks, "Important question. What should we know about that Ice Elemental?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Lylia says, "Yes, it is. For you."

Kayse hurriedly says, "There is an elemental in the water we need to take care of. As much as I am glad we help. We have a town to protect."

Irval says, "Beached."

Speaking to Perigourd, Missoni says, "I am going to help with this elemental, I think."

Remuliad scowls at Bodohal.

Missoni says, "It is...quite large."

Speaking in Elven, Jiarine asks something you don't understand.

Elidal says, "By imperial decree, you are under arrest. Go quietly, and no limbs will be broken."

Elidal nods at Bodohal.

Kialeigh says, "Lovely tattoo."

Bodohal asks, "I'm under what?"

Tikba asks, "Who has the shackles?"

Twisting off the disc of pure onyx of his alexandrite ewer, Bodohal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Bodohal blinks his eyes a few times before bobbing his head, looking quite drunk.

[General] Leafiara helpfully informs, "It's dead."

Lylia removes some thick iron shackles from in her wrap.

Lithyia says, "Arrest, Captain."

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

Lylia offers Elidal some thick iron shackles.

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

Evia says, "Under the weather and more."

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "A rest. You should take one."

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

Elidal accepts Lylia's thick iron shackles.

Geijon whispers something to Elidal.

Speaking pleasantly to Bodohal, Tikba says, "It has been a pleasure, Captain."

Speaking to Bodohal, Irval says, "You didn't honestly think you could fire on the people of landing with no reprecussions did you? Regardless of the reasons."

Jiarine asks, "Can I burn those ones?"

Elidal moves to stand in front of Bodohal.

Bodohal looks at Remuliad with sudden recognition.

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Captain Bodohal has been placed under arrest by Elidal."

Remuliad glares at Bodohal.

Elidal says, "Stand up Captain."

[General] Kelfyr thinks, "Good work, Leafiara and crew."

Bodohal drops a vertical fist-shaped alexandrite ewer of purple rum.

Bodohal drops a jar of tobacco-infused whiskey bound with black thorn vines.

Elidal says, "Have the deceny to go on your feet."

Bodohal leans forward and tries to rise to a standing position, only to fail and fall flat on his back.

Tikba helpfully informs, "He may have difficulty."

Alosaka murmurs a simple, mystical chant...

Alosaka gestures at Bodohal.

Bodohal springs upright with amazing agility!

Goldstr exclaims, "Justice be done!"

Chandrellia says, "He is a bit, innbrehatited."

Tikba says, "I fear he has had too much to drink."

Speaking to Elidal, Jiarine says, "It would be more of a farce to see him hog tied and carried out."

Ithilwyn softly says, "Slightly."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin asks, "He will be taken to the Outpost then?"

Elidal says, "Yes."

Elidal nods at Guarrin.

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh says, "Go quietly... it will be better."

[General] Leafiara exclaims, "Seems Gutstorm did more work than anyone else!"

Bodohal drunkenly says, "Good return i'll ship with."

Speaking coldly to Bodohal, Lylia says, "...And you never did tell a single story of an illustrious victory. One wonders if you have any to offer at all."

Captain Bodohal just trudged away moving out.

Tennalnen says, "What."

Remuliad shudders.

Kialeigh glances at an armored Bourthian soldier.

Kialeigh exclaims, "Go get him!"

Speaking to Elidal, Tikba says, "Thank you, Elidal."

Alosaka says, "We should've brought irons."

Kialeigh says, "Clearly we needed more drugs in the wine."

Tikba politely says, "Lylia did."

Ithilwyn softly says, "Someone balefire me."

Tikba says, "She is always so prepared."

Ithilwyn softly says, "Please."

Remuliad sighs.

Remuliad turns to face Elidal.

Lord Elidal just went out.

Ithilwyn softly says, "Better."

Ithilwyn softly says, "Thank you."

Remuliad softly asks, "Lord Elidal. Was it you who helped with my rescue?"

Alosaka softly says, "He ordered it."

Cryheart says, "He left the pavilion."

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "Come fetch your Captain, Elidal."

Kialeigh says, "It was by his order yes."

Evia says, "So did the guest."

Tikba says, "He aided us, yes."

Bernadette softly says, "Appears so."

Tennalnen says, "Sir Guarrin captured the Captain."

Speaking to Remuliad, Alosaka says, "We can have quarters for you in the Hendorian Outpost. They are quite comfortable. And safe."

Goldstr says, "We did as we were expextws."

Mourdeyan says, "Guarrin caught Bodohal."

[Realm] Guarrin thinks, "The Captain was taken into custody."

Brisca says, "I felt so lost.."

Evia says, "And may he stay caught."

Mourdeyan says, "I believe Elidal is taking possession."

[Cryheart's group briefly travels out, then returns]

The Orb

[Feast Pavilion]

A series of pale vellum lanterns are strung from various corners of the vaulted ceiling, their glow casting a warm illumination to the grand space. Blue silk drapes down the walls of the tent, the symbol of two interlocking circles pierced by an arrow embossed into the fabric. Commanding the focal point of the pavilion, a long fireleaf table sits decorated with an abundance of refreshments. Various velvet settees and silk pillows are clumped together to provide more intimate seating arrangement. You also see the web-draped Missoni disk, the repousse copper Perigourd disk raised in leafy designs, the Tennalnen disk, some fragrant violet and plum wine, a jar of tobacco-infused whiskey bound with black thorn vines, a vertical fist-shaped alexandrite ewer of purple rum, the Alosaka disk and a glass of cool spring water.

Remuliad softly asks, "What do you mean by the heart of Jaston?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "The orb. Your artifact."

Remuliad softly says, "That old relic has been missing again since I tossed it in the sea."

Elidal offers Lylia some thick iron shackles.

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps it was a different orb."

Lylia accepts Elidal's thick iron shackles.

Speaking politely to Lylia, Tikba demurs, "He lives. That is more than he should expect."

Elidal says, "Bodohal is in the stocks."

Speaking to Remuliad, Yardie asks, "I have to ask. Why would you do a thing like that?"

Remuliad turns to Elidal and cheers!

Lithyia says, "Good."

Speaking smoothly to Elidal, Lylia says, "I am pleased the shackles were not needed."

Elidal says, "The Bourthian soldiers will escort him to the Outpost for now."

Goldstr says, "Bout time."

Mourdeyan says, "Well done."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee asks, "The container for the ice elemental. What do you call it?"

Kialeigh says, "Good operation."

Remuliad softly says, "Thank you, Lord Elidal."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin says, "Thank you for your aid with this. I imagine it will create some potential work to sort it all out."

Earthdiver says, "The ice box."

Cryheart says, "Well done."

Elidal waves a hand at Remuliad, dismissing him indifferently.

Speaking proudly to himself, Tennalnen says, "Bourthian Soldiers."

Remuliad smiles.

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee asks, "And without the elemental, what value does it have?"

Speaking to Remuliad, Goldstr exclaims, "An ye has benn feed!"

Elidal says, "I am merely serving, and doing my part. The plan, the rescue, you owe your debt to Wehnimer's Landing."

Speaking to Kayse, Lylia says, "Forgive me. We had to lie and say you do not throw a lively party, yet it looks as though you turned the whole bay into an iced drink."

Speaking to Kayse, Kiyna asks, "Bodohal is in the stocks. I've heard the elemental was handled?"

Speaking softly to Raelee, Remuliad says, "Perhaps, once I've rested, I can speak more about the orb."

Remuliad bows.

Remuliad just went out.

Elidal

Brisca says, "I am glad I could be useful as a distraction... of some sort..."

Guarrin asks, "Does he...know the way to the outpost?"

Elidal says, "Where did...."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kayse says, "Well enough."

Arianiss asks, "Remuliad leaving?"

Stormyrain says, "He did yes, we could not catch him."

Alosaka says, "He is a free man."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Yardie asks, "Who?"

Goldstr says, "Aye."

Tennalnen asks, "Should we follow?"

Speaking to Yardie, Stormyrain says, "The Magister."

Kayse monotonously says, "I am unsure why I bothered saying half of what I did this evening."

Elidal asks, "So he just..?"

Mourdeyan asks, "Does he seem a well man?"

Speaking to Tennalnen, Stormyrain says, "He moved quickly."

Kialeigh says, "Good job everyone. It was a team effort."

Earthdiver says, "I hope he gets some good rest in an Inn."

Speaking amusedly to Alosaka, Tikba corrects, "No, I understand that he is a Magister."

Cryheart says, "Left he did."

Kiyna says, "He wanted a cot, I believe. Rather desperately."

Speaking dryly to Elidal, Kayse says, "Here. You can frame this."

Speaking knowingly to Elidal, Missoni says, "Magisters."

Kayse offers Elidal a long blue mithril key inset with a murky amber orb.

Speaking to Kayse, Alosaka suggests, "Praise and adulation?"

Speaking to Kayse, Lylia says, "I know the feeling."

Speaking to Elidal, Kayse says, "The key to his freedom."

Elidal accepts Kayse's mithril key.

Elidal says, "What...."

Elidal says, "Oh."

Kelfyr says, "It was an effort, that part is right."

Speaking slowly to Missoni, Raelee asks, "What about them, Missoni?"

Remuliad just arrived.

Cryheart says, "And he is back."

Kayse plainly explains, "It opened his cell."

Speaking cheerfully to Raelee, Missoni says, "They are confident in doing as they will."

Speaking to Remuliad, Yardie says, "Fastest rest I have ever seen."

Speaking to Raelee, Missoni says, "And we adore them for it."

Speaking to Remuliad, Lylia says, "You may wish to stay close. It may not be safe."

Speaking to Alosaka, Kayse asks, "Where would that be?"

Elidal agrees with Lylia.

Elidal says, "You will want to gather your bearings for awhile Magister."

Elidal nods at Remuliad.

Alosaka says, "He had a small head wound when we found him."

Mourdeyan says, "Regain iss health."

[General] Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Dish make me a Knight now?"

Remuliad softly says, "Sorry. I was not sure if I was resting here. I've not seen a proper cot in months."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Kayse says, "No, that is fine."

[General] Evia thinks, "Sir Drinks-Alot."

Stormyrain says, "Oh."

Speaking to Remuliad, Raelee says, "... there are chambers in the Outpost."

Lithyia says, "Someone get this man a proper bed."

Remuliad nods.

Speaking slowly to Remuliad, Raelee asks, "Shall I walk you there, Magister?"

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie says, "One problem solved...many more remain."

Elidal nods at Yardie.

Stormyrain carefully asks, "If that is all for the night? Nothing else urgent or--urgent?"

Speaking gently to Remuliad, Missoni says, "I hope you are able to get a comfortable rest."

Elidal says, "Every journey is one step a time, never more."

Elidal nods at Yardie.

Speaking to Kayse, Kiyna says, "He was downing those hand over fist. That was the third jar I gave him."

Kialeigh asks, "So what's the plan for his ship? If his men wake up should we be worried?"

Evia says, "In the stocks you say? I do hope he enjoys rotty fruit."

Speaking to Kiyna, Kayse says, "At least the liquor was useful."

Tikba says, "Alosaka said the ship was sunk."

Lylia says, "At one point, I was sure he was nearly unconscious, and then he started to speak clearly again; I think at some point, he was attempting his own bit of fakery."

Speaking to Kialeigh, Earthdiver says, "It's in ruins."

Alosaka says, "The ship did not survive."

Kayse says, "It is a pile in the bay."

Tikba says, "If his men wake we should indeed be worried."

Arianiss says, "It's still there if you want to look at it."

Kiyna asks, "...Right, when they say the Shiver is destroyed, what do we mean by that?"

Kialeigh says, "Oh good."

'Speaking to Elidal, Yardie says, "I hear with some journeys, you go faster alone, but farther together. Perhaps it's something to consider regarding communicating and working with others."

Kayse says, "I tried looking through the wreckage."

Earthdiver says, "There are likely many new faces in town at the moment."

Arianiss says, "Out in the bay."

Alosaka says, "The men mostly abandoned it for the water. I imagine they're ashore now."

Kelfyr says, "A number leapt off."

Elidal agrees with Yardie.

Lithyia says, "Wise words Yardie."

Mourdeyan says, "Frozen an shattered."

Geijon says, "Mmm."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Kayse says, "Militia may want to patrol looking for survivers."

Kayse says, "Or someone..."

Avrey asks, "Do they have any loyalty to him?"

Speaking to Elidal, Geijon says, "Bodohal is in th' stocks, in th' Landing."

Speaking to Kayse, Guarrin says, "We can do a few patrols."

Elidal nods at Geijon.

Elidal says, "Larsya's men will secure him from the stocks soon enough, and to the Outpost."

Alosaka says, "They're shipwrecked now. They deserve our mercy regardless of their loyalty."

Elidal nods at Geijon.

Mourdeyan says, "And most of his men, wi no ship are in the bay or swimmin'."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon asks, "Are you alright Magister?"

Lylia asks, "Were there survivors?"

Speaking to Kayse, Vaemyr says, "We stayed a while, but didn't find anyone alive, I'm hoping when the light comes up, we can get some salvage teams looking in the morning."

Speaking to Alosaka, Guarrin says, "Just so."

Earthdiver says, "Many died in the frost."

[General] Stormyrain thinks, "Militia, if you notice any of the crew in the water, or on the docks, or anywhere in town--please aid them for now, and report to leadership who you found and where you placed them. We are looking for survivors from the Shiver. Thank you."

Bodohal in the Stocks

Elidal says, "Join me, if you wish. We should visit Bodohal."

Earthdiver says, "Their morale, broken."

Irval says, "Im sure many crew died. Especially the one we left trussed up as a mercy. His life ending in absolute horror as the ice crept across his flesh until it engulfed him fully. Then shattered. What a way to go..."

Irval says, "Oops did I say that out loud."

Yardie asks, "What frost?"

Remuliad softly says, "I will retire to the outpost, if your guard might escort me."

Lylia coolly says, "A pity." Nothing about her face looks remotely pitying. "I am sure their next of kin will know soon."

Speaking to Yardie, Arianiss says, "The frost orb thing."

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon says, "I will go with you."

[General] Kisun asks, "Is the Shiver a ship?"

Earthdiver says, "They will share some of his fate."

[General] Irval thinks, "Was...."

[General] Directed to Kisun, Stormyrain thinks, "Yes it was, it's--well it's no longer operational."

[General] Kisun asks, "It blew up?"

Remuliad nods.

Earthdiver says, "They cannot be left to re-group."

[General] Arianiss thinks, "It collapsed."

[General] Kisun asks, "So, the Shiver be timbers now?"

Kialeigh says, "Hopefully it's improved the mood with a victory after last night."

[General] Chandrellia thinks, "Something, like that."

[General] Irval thinks, "More like turned into an iceberg and shattered upon itself."

[General] Directed to Kisun, Stormyrain groans, "Yes. By gods."

[General] Leafiara helpfully explains, "Gutstorm destroyed it single-handedly. Well, maybe double-handedly. Magic takes work."

Remuliad joins Geijon's group.

Speaking to Remuliad, Geijon asks, "Outpost is your preference?"

Geijon says, "We are here with you."

Raelee says, "Yes, he is going to the Outpost."

Remuliad softly says, "I was just doing research on Teras, when suddenly the captain of my ship handed me over to that Bodohal fellow."

Speaking to Remuliad, Perigourd asks, "The Lucky Cerulean Dawn?"

Remuliad softly says, "I will have more gathered thoughts after some rest."

Remuliad nods at Perigourd.

Remuliad softly says, "That does sound familiar."

[the other logging character catches up to Elidal's group, but Leafiara had caught the dialogue in the interim]

[Town Square, West]

Here in the midst of the town stretches the cobblestoned main bazaar, its lamplit lanes abuzz with traders and vendors hawking their wares at any hour of the day or night. Groups of citizens, discussing the day's events or preparing for nighttime hunts, gather around the doors of the merchants whose shops border the square. The gilded but peeling stone facade of the First Elanith Bank dominates this side of the square. You also see a majestic king cheetah, a tiny kitten, a hazy ethereal puppy surrounded by a scintillating prismatic aura, the Kialeigh disk, the web-draped Missoni disk, the cherrywood Arianiss disk etched with lotus blossoms, the skull-shaped Irval disk, the Vaemyr disk, the Avrey disk, the Tennalnen disk, the mist-hazed Noctiss disk, the Alosaka disk, a heartbroken wasteland spirit that is flying around, a lazy wild dark red dog, a fluffy white cat, a timber jaguar, the Gutstorm disk, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a basket of rotting fruit, a city official and the First Elanith bank.

Lord Elidal's group just arrived.

Chandrellia says, "I must say, tis been a long while since I have seen the stocks used."

Elidal put a long blue mithril key inset with a murky amber orb in his wool cape.

Speaking to Yardie, Earthdiver says, "There may be some officers left of his crew who could mount a rescue."

Bodohal struggles for a bit in the stocks.

Speaking to Earthdiver, Alosaka asks, "And what? What would they do?"

Speaking to Bodohal, Evia says, "Howdy."

Lithyia picks up a piece of rotting fruit and tosses it right at Bodohal! It explodes as it hits Bodohal in the face!

Elidal says, "Look."

Leafiara says, "Oh, there they are. We were jsut wondering if destroying an entire warship qualifies Gutstorm here for knighthood."

Lithyia says, "That felt good."

Speaking to Alosaka, Earthdiver says, "Best not to find out, I suppose."

Speaking sarcastically to Bodohal, Kialeigh asks, "Want some whiskey, Captain?"

Elidal says, "Grin."

Lithyia says, "You're lucky Bodohal....i want to do worse."

Speaking to Bodohal, Arianiss asks, "What is the current time of day?"

OOPS?

Elidal grins.

Speaking to Alosaka, Earthdiver says, "Mercy can still be issued."

Goldstr asks, "Huh?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me have to."

Gutstorm surreptitiously slaps a bright yellow sign reading "KICK ME!" on Bodohal's back. You might want to WATCH Gutstorm so he doesn't get you next!

Bodohal hiccups!

Elidal asks, "Someone bhave water?"

Bodohal blinks oddly a few times.

Lylia removes a glass of cool spring water from in her wrap.

Lylia offers Elidal a glass of cool spring water.

Elidal accepts Lylia's cool spring water.

Elidal moves to stand in front of Bodohal.

Kiyna says, "One moment."

Earthdiver says, "Only garlic water."

Elidal splashes the water on Bodohal's face.

Earthdiver offers Elidal some distilled garlic water.

Speaking to Bodohal, Yardie quips, "You have a sign on your back, Bodo-small."

Elidal accepts Earthdiver's garlic water.

Elidal splashes the water on Bodohal's face.

Kiyna offers Elidal an iron bucket.

Elidal accepts Kiyna's iron bucket.

Irval says, "Give him a good slap."

Earthdiver says, "Perhaps the garlic water is even better."

Irval says, "He'll come around."

Elidal splashes a bucket of water on Bodohal's face.

Elidal says, "Sober up Captain." >_error bold in affect at prompt

Lithyia says, "Pour coffee on him."

Avrey asks, "If at first you don't succeed?"

Lithyia says, "Really hot coffee."

Earthdiver says, "Oops."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie asks, "No one has a Amytheyst?"

Speaking to Irval, Chandrellia says, "Oh I think the kick to grown Lylia gave him was plenty."

Bodohal narrows his eyes suspiciously as Tikba attempts to apply a spigot of metal-framed fluorite to him.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Boink."

Elidal wanders away.

Elidal wanders in.

Bodohal narrows his eyes suspiciously as Lylia attempts to apply a smooth columnar violet amethyst to him.

Speaking to Earthdiver, Yardie says, "Purple one. Deep purple."

Speaking to Elidal, Kayse says, "I have magic that will sober him up."

Lylia offers Elidal a smooth columnar violet amethyst.

Mourdeyan says, "By your leave Lord Elidal."

Tikba amusedly says, "Bodohal does not wish to have magic applied to him by us."

Guarrin notes, "Perhaps we can treat him with some respect? He will likely be dealing with more punishment soon enough."

Elidal nods at Kayse.

Elidal accepts Lylia's columnar violet amethyst.

Bodohal narrows his eyes suspiciously as Kayse attempts to apply a smooth columnar violet amethyst to him.

Lithyia says, "Death would sober him up."

Bodohal narrows his eyes suspiciously as Elidal attempts to apply a smooth columnar violet amethyst to him.

Bodohal struggles for a bit in the stocks.

Bodohal struggles for a bit in the stocks.

Bodohal struggles for a bit in the stocks.

Bodohal says to Earthdiver, "You, sir, are a wayward, ill-nurtured clotpole!"

Earthdiver says, "You have been bound."

Speaking to Bodohal, Irval says, "Wakey wakey."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh says, "You don't get a say..."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "Stronger men than you have been trapped in these very stocks. Give it up."

Speaking drunkenly to Earthdiver, Gutstorm whispers aloud, "Wutta clotpole?"

Tikba serenely says, "There is always the threat of death."

Bodohal struggles for a bit in the stocks.

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia asks, "Is there anything you want to share with us before you are taken to the outpost?"

Lithyia says, "This would look good lodged in his eye."

Lithyia glances at a sleek silver bodice dagger in her hand.

Bodohal says to Chandrellia, "You, madam, are a ruttish, pale-hearted wagtail!"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Death to good fer him Liffy."

The city official says, "Well, Bodohal, I hope you've learned your lesson now. You may go." With that, the official walks over to Bodohal and sets him free.

The city official mutters something under his breath as two burly assistants come in and drag the set of wooden stocks and the basket away.

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia says, "Awe such sweet words."

Earthdiver's lips move soundlessly.

Earthdiver gestures at Bodohal.

CS: +538 - TD: +335 + CvA: +14 + d100: +77 == +294

Warding failed!

Bodohal's eyes roll up into his head as he slumps to the ground.

Earthdiver says, "You are not free. Just kidding."

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia says, "And hear I sang a song for you."

Gutstorm rolls Bodohal over while he sleeps. Bodohal did not wake up.

Earthdiver says, "Ignore that man."

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

An armored Bourthian soldier just arrived!

Bodohal awakens startled.

Bodohal rocks back and forth in an attempt to stand up, using his hands for balance.

Bodohal stands up.

Leafiara says, "Ah, here they come."

Kialeigh says, "Seize him!@."

Elidal says, "Day of Zelia's Warning, you're not actually free."

Kayse dryly remarks, "That's why this day has gone as it has."

Bodohal points at Elidal.

Lylia reminds, "Those who have committed crimes against Imperial citizens are to face Imperial justice...but I do not forget that this man also fired upon simple fishers in our bay."

Bodohal exclaims, "You tricked me!"

Bodohal scowls.

Speaking sweetly to Bodohal, Lylia says, "Yes."

Avrey proudly says, "I wouldn't make trouble, Bourthian soldiers are known for being very good at what they do."

The Bourthhian soldiers move in around Bodohal, and clamp shackles on his hands.

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie says, "I was doing Lithyia's nails when that happened."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kayse says, "Technically he just agreed to help us trick you."

Speaking to Bodohal, Arianiss says, "The Shiver is destroyed, by the way."

Speaking to Bodohal, Chandrellia asks, "Yer just now seeing that?"

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie adds, "She's still upset."

Bodohal exclaims, "I'll be back! Captain Bodohal never surrenders!"

Speaking to Bodohal, Mourdeyan says, "Nossir, he invited ye to dinner, WE tricked ye."

Bodohal tries to pull his lower lip up over his nose.

Lithyia says, "Yes...and I will never forgive Bodohal..."

Tikba politely says, "Captains have ships."

Speaking firmly to Bodohal, Kayse says, "This is what happens when you mess with Wehnimer's Landing."

Lithyia says, "But everyone says I cannot kill him."

Lylia indifferently says, "We do not need you to surrender."

Earthdiver says, "Let this be a lesson to not drink too much alcohol."

Speaking to Bodohal, Vaemyr says, "No, we gave you a wonderful dinner, also... you are no captain anylonger, you have no more ship."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kiyna says, "Goodbye, Ex-Captain Bodohal."

Speaking to Bodohal, Alosaka says, "I mean... you're not going anywhere."

Speaking to Bodohal, Guarrin says, "This is a gentle a treatment that we have provided you due to your former station."

Speaking to Bodohal, Kialeigh asks, "With what ship!?"

Lylia coldly adds, "And I do not believe you ever set foot on Glaoveln."

Speaking to Bodohal, Arianiss says, "The elemental is also destroyed."

Speaking to Bodohal, Guarrin says, "I would advise against returning."

Bodohal is dragged away by a pair of the soldiers, while the rest of them form around and escort him away in chains.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me mish him already."

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "I shall want a long bath."

Elidal nods.

Tikba mildly says, "A pleasant chat."

Elidal offers Lylia a smooth columnar violet amethyst.

Lithyia says, "Satisfying...not as satisfying as if i got to stab him though."

Lylia accepts Elidal's columnar violet amethyst.

Leafiara muses, "Well, that's that for now."

Kiyna says, "Bastard can rot. Fine work, everyone."

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Chandrellia says, "You need to get washed up too."

Ithilwyn softly says, "I....touched...him."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie asks, "What's next?"

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Chandrellia says, "So did poor Lylia."

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Yardie says, "Brave of you."

Elidal says, "Justice is not done yet, this is only the beginning."

Lithyia says, "I only sat next to him."

Speaking to Ithilwyn, Arianiss asks, "Did you woo him into submission?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Thadston next?"

Kialeigh says, "Every small step towards it is to be celebrated...."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin asks, "I imagine a considerable amount of paperwork. Will he be transported south? To the Earl?"

Kialeigh says, "Great things are accomplished in small steps."

Ithilwyn softly says, "I would not say woo...he was drunk...I sang a lullaby...then I gave him a neck and shoulder massage."

Lylia says, "He had to be plied with drink somehow."

Chandrellia asks, "Will he be taken to the Empire or stand trial here? or is that to be determined?"

Ithilwyn softly says, "Leave it to a Vaaloran."

Elidal grins at Guarrin.

Kiyna worries, "He's not the Landing's prisoner, so hopefully he doesn't add to my paperwork burden..."

Elidal says, "Yet to be determined."

Chandrellia nods at Elidal.

Tikba politely says, "Surely he should face the justice of the Landing."

Avrey remarks, "So past my bedtime."

Speaking drunkenly to a tiny kitten, Gutstorm slurs, "Never grow up."

Lylia says, "I do not see why he cannot face trial for crimes he committed against the Landing and against Imperial concerns."

Speaking appreciatively to Elidal, Kayse says, "Thank you for agreeing to go along with this."

Speaking to Elidal, Irval says, "Bare in mind when you do your inquiry. That he was driven to his current frame of mind after numerous attempts were made on his life by a criminal syndicate thats more slippery than an eel."

Xorus says, "We have held those sorts of joint trials in the past."

Elidal nods at Kayse.

Guarrin says, "Let us hope a quick solution is found as we learn more from Magister Remuliad."

Lylia says, "With the proviso that whomever tries him first should save something to burn for the next municipality."

Elidal says, "Thank you for a sound plan, and, might I add, wonderful cooperation tonight."

Speaking to Elidal, Kiyna says, "Aye, Kayse has the right of it. You were the bait we needed. It doesn't sound good, but it is."

Yardie says, "I'm more worried about the anger out there."

Speaking to Kayse, Guarrin says, "Yes, fine plan."

Missoni approvingly says, "It did all go rather well."

Speaking to Elidal, Chandrellia exclaims, "Oh and by the way, the venison was delightful!"

Elidal says, "This should stand not only as a lesson for Bodohal, but for all of our enemies. United, we're undefeated."

Lithyia rudely says, "Yes and perhaps we can get cooperation next time so a squire doesnt run off and anger the Reivers..."

Speaking to Elidal, Tennalnen says, "Samfelt and Tolmis were very helpful."

Kayse murmurs, "I merely repeated words to others."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie stammers, "Send Iilya.....Ie....Il...Ili-yaaas my regards?"

Speaking to Geijon, Raelee says, "The window would have been more efficient."

Elidal begins chuckling at Kiyna!

Elidal says, "I will be bait as needed."

Speaking to Raelee, Geijon says, "I'm not a fan of windows after dealing with Thadston."

Leafiara amusedly says, "Only someone who didn't board that ship could have thought of tonight as unity..."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Shoulda sheen dat footlocker."

Speaking vaguely to Geijon, Raelee says, "The Hall makes a far better window."

Evia says, "To come together for a purpose is a grand event."

Lylia agrees, "Indeed, I hope to see Lady Iliyaas sometime. She is always welcome in our gardens."

Tikba says, "It was one of the more pleasant feasts I have attended."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "It was a joint effort. Long ways to go for unity. But that means people need to feel they matter."

Speaking to Tikba, Chandrellia says, "If but a short one."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "Out there? In the deep? They feel different."

Tikba says, "And yet I am satisfied."

Vaemyr nods at Elidal.

Elidal nods at Vaemyr.

Irval says, "I do wonder what we are going to do about the orb elemental issue...See as how we most likely can surmise who has it now...problem for another day I guess."

Kiyna says, "Again, fine work, everyone."

Speaking to Elidal, Kialeigh says, "Now we need a real feast... to celebrate this feast."

Evia says, "Always ready for a feast."

Speaking bluntly to Irval, Raelee says, "There is no lingering issue."

Elidal nods at Kialeigh.

Elidal says, "Agreed."

Irval asks, "No?"

Elidal says, "A feast where no one is bait."

Elidal chuckles.

Earthdiver says, "It seems the orb would only need another powerful elemental."

Lylia says, "I would not mind another sampling of the food on that glorious table. I hardly got to eat a bite, so busy I was with simpering and pretending to drink endless toasts."

Speaking to Kialeigh, Yardie says, "Not celebrating until the madness out there stops. Would feel wrong to celebrate while others are displeased. But that's just me."

Kialeigh says, "With whiskey that isn't drugged."

Speaking to Irval, Leafiara says, "A few of us destroyed the elemental with relatively little trouble, if that's what you're wondering about."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Perigourd says, "It wasn't the artifact he had before, it was a simple vessel containing the elemental."

Speaking to Elidal, Kiyna asks, "If no one is bait, how will we pry Enisius from his tones and giant magic death pillar?"

Geijon says, "Lets not speculate too much. We have facts and speculation to consider as we go."

Raelee says, "The orb, without the elemental, is a fancy jar... and a fancy jar that was likely shattered in the elemental's escape."

Elidal nods at Geijon.

Kiyna corrects, "Tomes."

Irval says, "More worried about the orb and the hands in which is now resides."

Irval says, "We can only hope."

Guarrin asks, "Then how was the Shiver destroyed if it was not the artifact? The elemental?"

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "I mean... it was a "little" trouble, but while it had very strong defenses, it offensive capabilities were lacking."

Elidal says, "Sir Geijon is right, we'll see fair justice."

Irval says, "That the container was destroyed."

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "That is not a common item."

Speaking to Guarrin, Leafiara says, "The incredible talent of Gutstorm."

Tolmis' Document

Kayse glances at Tolmis.

Chandrellia says, "N the other hand, a feast will alow us to recognize what we do have, to bring the moral of all thsoe around us up, a chance for one day, to not worry about tomorrow."

Tolmis asks, "Lord Elidal?"

Speaking to Tolmis, Yardie says, "I saw that.....wow you're good."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me yooshed me magic to deshtroy da Shiver."

Speaking to Tolmis, Chandrellia says, "Well played by the way."

Speaking to Perigourd, Earthdiver says, "Especially not for an elemental of that size."

Speaking to Tolmis, Tennalnen says, "Thank you for your help tonight."

Speaking to Tolmis, Irval asks, "The orb?"

Elidal asks, "Yes?"

Kayse introduces, "This is Tolmis, who assisted us."

Speaking to Tolmis, Leafiara says, "Oh, there you are. Can you please explain to Irval here that you didn't take the orb? He'll be raving about it all night if not."

Speaking to Gutstorm, Guarrin says, "Nice work with the elemental."

Speaking patiently to Irval, Missoni says, "The orb is gone."

Leafiara corrects, "...well, more like all month. ...year."

Elidal nods at Irval.

Tolmis says, "I believe this might be of interest to you, and some of the other nobles of the Empire."

Speaking to Leafiara, Chandrellia says, "Two years."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oh me ran from dat fing."

Tolmis offers Elidal a tattered vellum document.

Elidal accepts Tolmis's vellum document.

Elidal says, "Is this...."

Tikba mildly asks, "Would it be of interest to us?"

Tolmis asks, "Yes. Some of the names are familiar to you?"

Missoni confusedly asks, "Names?"

Elidal asks, "These are...connected to Bodohal?"

Irval asks, "If its the same parchment taking from the desk in the captain's quarters. Id assume so?"

Yardie says, "He had mentioned something when we met him at Helga's."

Leafiara says, "Whatever it is, several here did witness him locate it on the Shiver."

Irval says, "Well Tolmis pulled it from a drawer."

Yardie asks, "Seems the rabbit hole of corruption goes deep?"

Tolmis says, "Those were found in his desk, on his former ship."

Tolmis says, "I will let you decide what to do with them."

Arianiss idly says, "..I bet Yardie's name is on it.."

Geijon asks, "And where do you go next?"

Tikba politely explains, "Rabbit holes do not go very deep."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dat King Yardie, honorary title given by koboldsh."

Elidal says, "Thank you..."

Speaking to Arianiss, Yardie says, "I have no involvements with those folks."

Elidal says, "Where.."

Vaemyr says, "He's gone..."

Speaking to Elidal, Irval asks, "Problems?"

Elidal says, "He vanished."

Speaking to Yardie, Arianiss says, "Yes, but with your luck.."

Elidal says, "No one can stand still anymore."

Leafiara amiably says, "He does that."

Missoni murmurs, "He does that."

Speaking to Arianiss, Yardie says, "Sadly, you might be right."

Geijon whispers something to Elidal.

Sirona quietly says, "He did indeed."

Kayse lightly says, "Some of us are rather talented when it comes to melding with the shadows."

Speaking to Elidal, Vaemyr asks, "Stand still?"

Earthdiver says, "It is quite crowded here. Easy to lose someone in front of the bank."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie asks, "Should we worry? About the names?"

Lylia muses, "That man looked so familiar, but where do I know him from..."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Surprised me shtill got coin in me pocket."

Speaking to Lylia, Yardie asks, "Tolmis?"

Arianiss asks, "More importantly, would we know any of the names?"

Elidal says, "We'll see. I'll need to look into this document."

Speaking to Lylia, Kayse offers, "He did aid in some of the Gnul attacks."

Geijon says, "Tolmis did us no favors."

Speaking mildly to Elidal, Tikba says, "We will be glad to know what you think of it."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin says, "Hopefully that will not complicated the matter of seeing some justice done here."

Speaking to Elidal, Kayse asks, "What is the document? Just a list of names?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Well he did kick open da footlocker tonite."

Speaking to Geijon, Yardie says, "No favors? He was the one that tipped us on Bodohal, on the prisoner."

Speaking quietly to Geijon, Sirona asks, "No?"

Speaking to Yardie, Lylia says, "That is the name I heard in passing, yes."

Lylia says, "But then, I did not know Bodohal except by reputation until tonight."

Speaking to Geijon, Kiyna says, "Tolmis fought with us against Gnul. Dragged several of our fighters to the healers for revival."

Leafiara says, "Tolmis got us onto the ship, helped us navigate, found the key, and found whatever that document was."

Speaking to Geijon, Yardie says, "He knew the passages through The Shiver. Mentioned corruption."

Elidal says, "Names of, what could be, some associates of Bodohal. We'll see."

Elidal says, "If so, they will not escape justice either."

Geijon says, "When we rescued Remuliad. He was making different moves."

Sirona quietly says, "Hmm."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie asks, "Do they look familiar to you?"

Goldstr says, "Ah."

Speaking to Yardie, Arianiss says, "Judging by his reaction I think so."

Elidal says, "The Empire is not polished across every inch of its surface, we know corruption exists, your people have seen it for years."

Vaemyr says, "He's also fought for the town, helped defend it against Gnul's forces, side by side with several of us... He's seemed like nothing but a good person to me."

Speaking politely to Elidal, Tikba agrees, "Yes."

Elidal says, "Tonight may help us even further in eradicating some of that."

Irval says, "I can get behind that."

Speaking to Elidal, Yardie says, "I appreciate the honesty."

Elidal says, "I cannot say the names yet, I'm sorry. It would not be fair."

Speaking to her honeyed sylvan wine, Chandrellia says, "I need to find a barrel of this stuff."

Speaking to Elidal, Lylia asks, "Bodohal offered you protection from reivers and krolvin as though he believed they would see you and yours as a common enemy. Do you think this list may pertain to people who would arrange for just that to occur?"

Elidal says, "You will know when I can."

Speaking drunkenly to Geijon, Gutstorm slurs, "Me git it, ye got a gut feelin."

Kialeigh says, "In case some of us are not trustworthy that's prolly smart."

Elidal says, "I do not know Lylia."

Lylia says, "He asked a good bit about krolvin. Mentioned Glaoveln, yet had little to say about specifics. I found that interesting."

Speaking vaguely to Elidal, Raelee asks, "... how many institutions does that list cover?"

Yardie mutters, "Should have communicated with the reivers. That part is set to be intense."

Speaking to Elidal, Goldstr says, "Tankee an take care Baron, but me bed an wife be callin me."

Vaemyr whispers something to Kiyna.

Tikba mildly says, "I am sure that Tolmis had a good look at the document before handing it over."

Elidal nods at Goldstr.

Irval says, "Maybe made few alterations."

Speaking to Tikba, Yardie says, "That's important to note."

Irval says, "Add a name here remove a name there."

Arianiss says, "He had it for quite some time, yes."

Speaking to Irval, Yardie asks, "Now why would you think that?"

Irval asks, "Because its the Rooks?"

Irval says, "Why wouldnt I think that."

Speaking to Irval, Yardie says, "He was not a Rook before."

The voice of Kayse wryly offers, "Perhaps he put your name on it Irval after how much you accused him this evening."

Speaking to Elidal, Evia says, "Perhaps a celebration of spring soon, and new beginnings."

Irval says, "He is now."

Lylia says, "Because some people see snakes under carpets."

Missoni notes, "So far, Tolmis has been truthful in his words."

Elidal says, "Thank you everyone. Thank you for your efforts, your ideas, your cooperation, and for allowing me to serve in it all as well."

Speaking to Irval, Yardie says, "That's preposterous."

Elidal says, "Nothing thrills me more, than us side by side, not throat to throat."

Speaking to Elidal, Arianiss says, "Welcome to Wehnimer's Landing."

Irval says, "'The idea that it should not be considered is whats perposterous."

Speaking to Elidal, Missoni says, "Thank you, Lord Elidal."

Speaking to Elidal, Vaemyr says, "Thank you, for going along with it, for seeing justice done. I hope there are many more instances of cooperation like this in our futures." A dusky bush rat on Chandrellia's shoulder plops down and begins grooming itself with an almost comical air of fastidiousness.

Speaking to Elidal, Tikba says, "We are grateful for your aid, Lord Elidal."

Elidal nods.

Speaking to Elidal, Lylia says, "I can truthfully say that if you ever need someone to entertain at a dinner party that ends in shame and arrests, I am delighted to accept your invitation."

Speaking to Irval, Kiyna says, "Tolmis has fought with us, worked with us, and delivered on everything he has promised us. Who else should we accuse, while we're at it? You see only the worst in people."

Speaking to Elidal, Kayse reminds, "Our problems are not over. This is merely a small one for now."

Elidal begins chuckling at Lylia!

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin reminds, "Should you have any others that wish training, our offer still stands."

Elidal nods at Kayse.

Elidal says, "But, a cause for celebration regardless."

Elidal nods at Guarrin.

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Elidal says, "Thank you Sir Guarrin."

Speaking to Kiyna, Irval says, "Frankly, if I see a duck and it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, Im not gonna call it a dog."

Elidal says, "Soldiers will arrive in the coming days. Some of all...range of expertise. Which means, some with little. I may take you up on that."

Elidal nods at Guarrin.

Speaking darkly to Irval, Wolfloner says, "That is quackery."

Lylia dismissively remarks, "Who cares if he is a Rook? The document can be scanned for accuracy, with eyes and with magic and with song. Do not create new problems, Irval, without finishing the ones on your plate."

Tikba mildly says, "Tolmis saved my life when we fought Gnul, and brought others to be returned to life. He had no need to do so."

Speaking to Irval, Yardie says, "Right, but the problem is with what you see. Respectfully, I'm not the most adept on anatomy, but eyes are on your face, not on your rear."

Speaking to Elidal, Guarrin says, "Glad to be of service."

Elidal says, "Goodnight everyone. Drink extra this night, sleep longer tomorrow. A job well done all around."

Elidal bows.

Lylia says, "Rest well."

Speaking to Elidal, Missoni wishes, "Fair eve."

Lord Elidal's group just went north.

Lord Elidal's group just arrived.

Elidal winks.

Lord Elidal just went north.

Discussion Afterward

Tikba amusedly says, "I think we have already drunk our fill."

Chandrellia asks, "Will the pavilion be open for us to drink?"

Vaemyr says, "Alright then."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie asks, "Still doesn't see it?"

Leafiara asks, "...do you all agree with Elidal's assessment of tonight? ...a joint effort? Cooperation?"

Speaking darkly to Irval, Wolfloner says, "You are letting Thadston making you an arbiter do to you head. Thadston is know for making bad decisions."

Arianiss says, "Yes."

Speaking firmly to Xorus, Lylia says, "Baths."

Chandrellia says, "I'm gonna see if teh pavilion is still open, I want more of that honey wine."

Speaking to Leafiara, Earthdiver says, "Cooperation is sometimes best measured by a mass average."

Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "We would never of been able to get Bodohal here without his help."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Tonite kinda a blur fer me Leafi."

Speaking to Leafiara, Earthdiver says, "There will always be outliers, after all."

Tikba says, "I would call tonight a job well done."

Wolfloner darkly says, "Quackery."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "People worked on a mutial goal, but does that make a group unified? No, probably not."

[General] Chandrellia happily exclaims, "Oohhhh the pavilion is still open with food and drink!"

Tikba lightly says, "It is said that tomorrow is another day."

Vaemyr whispers something to Leafiara.

Speaking to Yardie, Leafiara says, "At least someone else thinks it."

Guarrin says, "It seems the objective was accomplished. Magister is safely returned. The threat to the Bay is removed."

Speaking to Tikba, Missoni says, "An excellent result."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Itsh a shtart."

Lylia says, "We should enjoy the victory."

Speaking to Tikba, Earthdiver asks, "Tomorrow...like today tomorrow?"

Lylia says, "And the crab cakes."

Speaking to Leafiara, Yardie says, "He has the documents....let's see if he really brings it all down as Tomis said."

Lylia says, "That food is still waiting in the pavilion, I imagine..."

Speaking to Lylia, Missoni says, "I managed to sneak two..."

Speaking to Tikba, Earthdiver says, "What is time."

Speaking to Earthdiver, Tikba says, "Ah, yes."

Speaking to Yardie, Perigourd says, "He must have some faith in Lord Elidal to do so if he gave them over."

Arianiss says, "The elemental wasn't particularly threatening, or perhaps I'm just too jaded towards high end threats."

Xorus says, "Crab cakes and fish cakes for all."

Tikba says, "Indeed, I must prepare for morning prayer."

Emperia says, "I should have taken some extra raspberries."

Speaking to Perigourd, Yardie says, "I don't know if it's faith."

Kiyna says, "Those were all of my objectives."

Speaking to a pale-faced coppery barn owl, Missoni admits, "I ate the crab cakes, but I do have some scones."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Ploink."

Wolfloner darkly says, "The document seemed to give Elidal some pause."

Speaking to Yardie, Perigourd says, "Whatever one wishes to call it."

Speaking to Arianiss, Guarrin says, "Given the scale of elementals recently."

Speaking to Kayse, Kiyna asks, "Was the elemental able to cause any collateral damage before it was destroyed?"

Speaking to Missoni, Lylia says, "Somehow, I knew you would enjoy the crab cakes."

Speaking to Perigourd, Yardie says, "Rather, he is the only person in a position to do something. Whether he does or not, is a different story."

Speaking to Emperia, Leafiara says, "I know I spend little time around the Landing these days, but I do hope you're doing well."

Earthdiver says, "I bet there are some important names on that document."

Kialeigh says, "I'm sure it did. Finding out people you had trust in aren't telling the truth can sometimes be a lil shocking."

Speaking to Emperia, Leafiara says, "You seem to be progressing very quickly in your adventures, if nothing else."

Speaking to Leafiara, Emperia says, "I am doing well enough, I suppose..."

Speaking to Kiyna, Arianiss says, "It roamed around on the water until it was destroyed."

Earthdiver says, "But peeking under the table of politics can hardly be surprising to anyone deep in it."

Speaking to Leafiara, Emperia says, "Though, I think I may have had a little too much of that wine."

Speaking to Yardie, Perigourd says, "I expect he could have sent it to many imperial authorities if he preferred one better."

Speaking to Wolfloner, Irval says, "Sorry if you feel that way. But like it or not. I dont lie in a bed with snakes and expect not to get bit. And if you think Ive not done my own investigations. You are sorely mistaken."

Speaking to Perigourd, Yardie says, "If it is corrupt, it won't matter."

Missoni says, "Perhaps some sugar, too..."

Vaemyr says, "I somewhat suspect, that perhaps Bodohal could of been part of the Silver Kings... if like Mother has said, they will target the new barony, that document might contain some very powerful or important names..."

Leafiara absently says, "Have a good eve, all, I suppose... I really don't like this idea that now people will have a perception that I was working with the Empire..."
