Synopsis
A town crier declares that next Town Council candidates will be announced outside Moot Hall in several minutes. People gather and await a town clerk, who greets new Envoys Thrassus and Tikba and tells them Moot Hall should be approving their status and title the next night. He soon announces the five candidates for council this year: Kayse, Vaemyr, Irval, Saraphenia, and Tayler!
However, before discussion can commence, the Remnants immediately interrupt by hurling orbs into the area! As adventurers struggle to recover from the ambush and influx of casualties while battling Remnant agents in the streets, triage in the square is interrupted by another orb and more casualties still!
Triage pulls back to the Voln monastery due to the compromise of the square, but in the meantime, explosions rock Moot Hall, Murdos Burdos' shop, the pawnshop, and the Raging Thrak Inn! Groups scatter to multiple tasks of putting out fires, bringing the fallen back to Voln, and fighting Remnants on the streets. Eventually they manage to stave off the battles for the night.

Council Candidate Announcement
A cool breeze stirs through the area.
[General] Greatorex asks, "Anyone else have cool breeze?"
[General] Whayle thinks, "Yeah."
A clap of thunder shakes the skies.
[General] Greatorex thinks, "Oh oh we have weather."
[General] Pukk exclaims, "Whenever there is a breeze and it spells trouble! Look for Kiyna or Kayse and join them on the double!"
[General] Opalina asks, "One of those stormy nights?"
A town crier's voice declares in the distance, "The announcement of the next Town Council Candidates will occur outside of Moot Hall in several minutes."
[Town Square, East]
Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see the repousse copper Perigourd disk raised in leafy designs, the web-draped Missoni disk, a lazy wild black dog, a flame-eyed burnished ember fox, a grizzled porcupine, an erratic wasteland spirit that is flying around, a black imperial wagon with a glowing blue-white pylon on it, the Moot Hall and a large purple wooden barrel.

Speaking to Tikba, Saraphenia says, "I voted for you."
Speaking warmly to Saraphenia, Tikba says, "Thank you very much. I very much appreciate it."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Do you know who would make a great councilor? Stormyrain."
Speaking amusedly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Good luck with that one."
Speaking to Pukk, Saraphenia exclaims, "Know who would make a good councilor? Me!"
Speaking to Pukk, Kiyna says, "She's gonna pluck your feathers if she hears you on about that again."
You peer west and see ...
[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 mirthful luck spirit that is flying around, an animated war mattock hovering in mid-air, the red Ashumm disk, the Baxter disk, the Disquiet disk, the Yaji disk, some torban leaf, some wolifrew lichen, a large acorn, a large acorn, some acantha leaf, some acantha leaf, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin, some wide stone benches with some stuff on it and an old well.

Leafiara glances west.
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Nope, not standing right behind you."
Speaking to Kiyna, Pukk asks, "So, you are saying that there is a chance yes?"
Speaking to Pukk, Vaemyr says, "About the same chance as you going and joining an imperial knighthood."
A town clerk arrives.
The town clerk waves, wiping rain from his eyes.
Speaking to Vaemyr, Pukk says, "Ewwww."
Leafiara cheerfully greets, "Good eve!"
The town clerk clears his throat. "Thank you for coming!"
The town clerk says, "Ah, our newest Envoys." The clerk bows to Thrassus and Tikba.
Thrassus nods to a town clerk.
Tikba smiles at the clerk.
Pukk asks, "Oh they won?"
The town clerk says, "I hear Moot Hall shall be approving your status and title soon, you should hear from them tomorrow."
Tikba nods appreciatively.
Thrassus nods at Pukk.
Pukk says, "Congrats. Good luck."
Diamondelille says, "Congrats."
Thrassus nods once.
The town clerk says, "Now, onto the next election. Thank goodness the last of the year!"
Speaking to a town clerk, Thrassus says, "Very good."
Tikba nods understandingly to a town clerk.
The town clerk says, "Unless a Mayor dies, right? I kid I kid."
Pukk asks, "I thought we were also going to vote for the next town clerk too?"
The town clerk shrugs.
Speaking to a town clerk, Vaemyr says, "What about the Judge one in winter sometime."
Kelfyr asks, "The new Mayor is going to continue to ignore the temporary judge problem, eh?"
Leafiara says, "Alendrial said start of the next year for the Judge election."
Pukk says, "1 problem at a time."
Speaking to Leafiara, Vaemyr says, "Oh I thought just said in winter, didn't know it was the start of the new year."
You say, "There are only so many months of voting we can handle..."
Speaking to Vaemyr, Leafiara says, "I think it was Thadston who said winter, but Alendrial said first of the year."
Tikba mildly says, "We will simply have to hope there is not an important trial scheduled for the end of this very month."
Speaking to Leafiara, Kiyna says, "Speak for yourself. I could vote all day."
Diamondelille says, "I vote fer cake."
[General] The ghost of Platio thinks, "I have just been killed by a worm - what a crock."
Speaking to Tikba, Kelfyr says, "I'm sure it won't be cause for an appeal to a different venue or anything."
Speaking to a town clerk, Pukk says, "Kiyna is small but she has a big voice."
[General] Grraut asks, "Was it four times as big as you?"
Speaking to Pukk, Kiyna says, "He's familiar with my voice. We work in the same building."
[General] The ghost of Platio thinks, "It jumped out and covered me."
Speaking to a town clerk, Pukk says, "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."
[General] Heod thinks, "Gross."
Speaking amusedly to a town clerk, Leafiara asks, "Is this announcement taking a while because the list is fifteen people long or something?"
[General] Heod thinks, "Bearhugged by a worm."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "No. the clerk is stunned by how cute you are and is tongue-tied."
[General] Grraut thinks, "One does not need skill to kill, if one has size."
The town clerk clears his throat.
Leafiara poses prettily, leaning on her furled parasol.
Speaking to Pukk, Saraphenia says, "It's true."
[OOC note: At this point, I lost power and scrambled to get back online using my phone as a hotspot. Most of what I missed has been supplied by Tikba's player.]
The town clerk says, "There are five candidates for Town Council this year."
Kiyna says, "Only five, huh..."
[General] The ghost of Platio thinks, "Now a forest troll is kicking me."
Pukk says, "Well that means that somebody is going to be left out."
The town clerk says, "The town council candidates are: Kayse, Vaemyr, Irval, Saraphenia, and Tayler."
[General] The ghost of Platio thinks, "Dragging me around - this is very wired."
Pukk says, "Too bad Guts didn't go for it."
'The town clerk says, "Campaign season begins now!"
Saraphenia recites:
"Vote Saraphenia: For Love, For Wehnimer's!"
Missoni cheerfully says, "Good luck to you all."
Bomb!
There is movement behind Emperia.
A small crimson glass orb rolls in from the shadows.
[General] The ghost of Platio thinks, "Troll was dragging me then kicking me then dragging me -"
A brilliant crimson light shines out of the crimson glass orb.
[General] Grraut thinks, "It may not have honor... but it seems to have strength."
[Tikba moves away to avoid the explosion, then returns after peering east and seeing that it went off...]

The ghostly voice of Mihorkan says, "That's just annoying."
[General] Nalver thinks, "Probably funded by someone who keeps encroaching on the lands around Wehnimer's."
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena says, "Darn."
[General] Kelfyr thinks, "Careful, more orbs getting deployed."
Leafiara says, "Okay then..."
[General] Directed to Nalver, Stormyrain thinks, "That is unknown, and it's bad form to spread rumors that may not be true."
The ghostly voice of Mihorkan says, "Ugh."
[General] Crimsoneve asks, "Where the heck they at?"
The ghostly voice of Thrassus says, "I would suggest moving triage to a different place."
Leafiara says, "Indeed."
[General] Yardie thinks, "They're coming from the shadows."
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena says, "I didn't even see it coming."
Nalbon says, "Voln maybe."
[General] Directed to Crimsoneve, Stormyrain thinks, "Normally the shadows. If you see a crimson orb, run."
The ghostly voice of Saraphenia says, "I guess tat was one way to get rid of a headache, exploding my head."
The ghostly voice of Mihorkan asks, "Perhaps the healers tent like the old days?"
Speaking to Mihorkan, the ghostly voice of Oishian says, "That seems rather unfair."
Markx says, "Lots o bodies."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "We'll have to pull back to Voln or elsewhere, the square is too compromised."
[General] Kelfyr thinks, "Tons on North Ring Road."
[General] Lynaera thinks, "Yardie will take care of them, no doubt."
[General] Leafiara adds, "For triage, that is."
Leafiara says, "Heading to Voln..."
The ghostly voice of Saraphenia asks, "Goddess?"
[General] Crimsoneve thinks, "West ring road."
[Symbol of Return]
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see an animated falchion hovering in mid-air, the seaweed-covered Nalbon disk, the Sagewitch disk, the Aeisa disk, the Angelonia disk, a scorched black marble bench and a large fel tree.
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena says, "Oh my goddess."
[General] Leafiara exclaims, "Got most of the fallen to Voln, but we'll need far more clerics!"
The ghostly voice of Platio says, "First smashed by a work, kicked around by a troll then blew up in town -"
[General] Markx thinks, "TSSW is a mess. Be careful."
[General] Kataric thinks, "Invasionomists: come forth."
Nalbon says, "I will run back to town center and see if anyone else needs to be brought here."
[General] Directed to Leafiara, Yardie thinks, "Rather telling that it's the Landing group of the Remnant and not the reivers attacking inside the town walls."
[General] Stormyrain asks, "Are there groups formed? If so, where needs reinforcement?"
[General] Leafiara distractedly thinks, "Yes, Yardie, but maybe a debate for another time..."
[General] Directed to Leafiara, Yardie notes, "Agreed...though I will say...I want to learn how to make those orbs."
[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Kiyna and I are clearing the south right road, doing fine so far."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "How's the square look? We still need triage aid back at Voln."
Speaking to Mihorkan, the ghostly voice of Oishian exclaims, "Thanks, again!"
Leafiara says, "This is a tough ask with a whopping two clerics and one empath."
Leafiara says, "Let me check the square if there are more healers and clerics there..."
[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 yellow-eyed forest wolfhound, the Lehon disk, a pretty flower girl, a glossy black doomstone, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a tawny-eyed shaggy cream ixacikta lamb, the leaf-shrouded Niffly disk encircled by overlapping leaves, a disgruntled spring spirit that is flying around, a mirthful luck spirit that is flying around, a plain mithril coffer, a dented steel box, a dented mithril strongbox, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a red-eyed highland serval, the red Ashumm disk, a sinuous bone white serpent, the Baxter disk, some torban leaf, some wolifrew lichen, some acantha leaf, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin, some wide stone benches with some stuff on it and an old well.

Leafiara says, "...nope, no better on the cleric and healer situation here than Voln, got it."
Buildings Ablaze
An explosion erupts inside of Moot Hall and fires roar to life outside of the building.
[General] Nalver thinks, "Wizards, meteor swarm is really effective."
[Leafi grabs everyone else and brings them to Voln]
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water.

Mihorkan says, "He gave me lots of jobs."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Okay, think I've got all the dead at Voln and it's quite a lot of dead."
The ghostly voice of Oishian asks, "So...is this the remnants, or is someone else really angry at the town, too?"
[General] Dumple thinks, "Remember to utilize whenimer's underground entrances and exits for all lower trained adventurers Whenimer is currently being heavily raided."
Speaking to Oishian, Leafiara says, "This is the Remnants."
[General] Stormyrain asks, "Anyone encountering difficult remnants anywhere in town?"
Tikba says, "Only the Remnants make those orbs."
[General] Pukk thinks, "Rooks, fight off the Remnants! Keep them occupied so we can save our town."
An explosion shakes part of the gemcutter's shop as flames roar out into the street.
Tikba wryly says, "And the Rooks, I suppose, but I do not think it was them."
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena asks, "What if i decay? what's next? will i come back as a wizard?"
[General] Perigourd exclaims, "Fires everywhere!"
Speaking to Tikba, Leafiara says, "Well... I mean, we make the orbs too, but--right, we wouldn't use them in this manner."
The ghostly voice of Emperia says, "This...was definitely not how I expected that to go."
[General] Dumple exclaims, "Gemcutters went boom!"
[General] Nalver thinks, "Core Tap is also great."
[General] Perigourd exclaims, "Possibly one at the gemshop!"
[General] The ghost of Guennwhfar thinks, "Invaders are high level with nasty spells, beware."
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena says, "There has to be more to life than decaying unceremoniously."
Nalbon says, "Gemshop is on fire."
[General] Nordred asks, "Anyone else hoping the bank blows up?"
Leafiara says, "I guess it was only a matter of time before they sent their actual strong combatants instead of all these ones I could kill 1-on-30."
[General] Yardie laughs, "Well done, sir!"
[General] Fugue thinks, "Are the Knights being useful? If so i'll revise my songs a bit."
[General] Xess thinks, "I hope Helga blows u-"
[General] Crimsoneve asks, "You withdrew all your money already?"
[General] Yardie amusedly comments, "Well done, sir!"
The ghostly voice of Guennwhfar says, "Wil super fry you."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Still shorthanded on healers and clerics at Voln if any could break away to come here."
[General] Leafiara pragmatically thinks, "If you're a younger adventurer, might want to stick to the ballistas or fire from the roofs."
Saraphenia exclaims, "Imperials on one side of us, the Remnants on the other side of us, causing us harm! I SWEAR to the Gods if I am elected, I will make this town safe and secure no matter what!!"
The ghostly voice of Alexandrena says, "One minute i'm drinking rum, the next i'm toast."
Speaking knowingly to Alexandrena, Leafiara says, "The Landing."
An explosion rocks the cobblestones outside of the Pawn Shop as fires spread outward from the blast.
The ghostly voice of Oishian says, "Clearly, toasting is overrated."
[General] Dumple exclaims, "Ohhhh not our pawn!"
The ghostly voice of Blades says, "Well walked into that one."
Stormyrain says, "Mhm."
The ghostly voice of Pukk says, "Hi there."
The ghostly voice of Pukk says, "I was saving the town..."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Never a doubt."
Thrassus says, "I think reading off that list made them rather cross."
Anstara says, "Koar, I was in the pawnshop when it blew up out there."
Nalbon says, "Somehow I survived that with a gaping hole in my chest."
Leafiara says, "You know the situation's dire when I'm here instead of on the front lines."
[General] Thrassus asks, "Are the fires under control?"
Speaking to Leafiara, Mihorkan says, "Normally I'm fighting in these."
The ghostly voice of Pukk says, "I would nod, but I'm dead."
Mihorkan says, "Well, 5 years ago."
Another roar from an explosive blast and fires erupts outside of Thrak's Inn.
Leafiara asks, "Hmm... are they targeting the areas with Consortium guards outside?"
The ghostly voice of Kimmae says, "Sooo many bodies."
Thrassus says, "They are really outdoing themselves this evening."
[General] Pukk exclaims, "Rooks keep trying to engage them!"
Tikba says, "It is hard to tell."
Ylandra says, "Hes always uppity."
Speaking to Leafiara, Emperia says, "That seems likely."
Leafiara says, "I'll be right back."
Stormyrain says, "Mhm."
[going to check on the square]
[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see the Lehon disk, a yellow-eyed forest wolfhound, a pretty flower girl, an engraved tanik strongbox, a rotting monir trunk, a mirthful luck spirit that is flying around, a simple maoral trunk, a battered silver chest, an enruned silver box, a glossy black doomstone, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a plain mithril coffer, a dented steel box, a dented mithril strongbox, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, a red-eyed highland serval, a sinuous bone white serpent that is sitting, some torban leaf, some wolifrew lichen, some acantha leaf, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a rose-marrow potion, a round silver-banded barrel, an herbal remedy donation bin, some wide stone benches with some stuff on it and an old well.
Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Willow Guardian Lehon, Arezzer who is kneeling, Belrog who is sitting, Big Brute, the body of Ashumm who is lying down, the body of Baxter who is lying down
Leafiara says, "Hmm..."
[General] Pukk thinks, "Save those you can. Put out those fires. If you are young try to stay on the mobile towers ballistas and shoot what you can."
[Leafi grabs all the loot, Gutstorm-style, but there's a doomstone among it and she ends up cursed for like half an hour, causing some of the dialogue you'll see; nonetheless, she grabs more of the fallen and brings them to Voln]
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see the Ouidanna disk, the Stormyrain disk, a tawny-eyed shaggy cream ixacikta lamb, the leaf-shrouded Niffly disk encircled by overlapping leaves, a disgruntled spring spirit that is flying around, a furious forest spirit that is flying around, the Kitac disk, an animated falchion hovering in mid-air, a ruby-throated viridian hummingbird that is sitting, the Sagewitch disk, the Aeisa disk, the Angelonia disk, a scorched black marble bench and a large fel tree.

Leafiara exclaims, "More dead!"
Speaking to Leafiara, Mihorkan asks, "Are you killing them!?"
Nalbon says, "Those should offer more protection."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Sporadically bringing the fallen from the square to Voln as I can."
Saraphenia recites:
"This will NOT stand with me, folks! This unprovoked attack by the Remnants WILL be answered for, I swear upon all that I hold dear!"
Speaking offhandedly to Mihorkan, Leafiara replies, "Nope."
[scouting, combat, finding one more deader, returning to Voln]

[General] Stormyrain asks, "Anywhere in town still in need?"
The ghostly voice of Calphion softly asks, "What is happening?"
Saraphenia exclaims, "I need to go back to town and help defend it!"
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Did our link drop?"
Speaking to Calphion, Leafiara says, "We're under attack by a faction of ne'er'do'wells."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "Will be right behind you."
Pukk says, "I'm going to drag to here."
[General] Stormyrain thinks, "Orb in the park now."
The ghostly voice of Calphion softly says, "I was very surprised on my way to the inn."
Guennwhfar says, "Not half dead, not barely dead."
Guennwhfar says, "Very dead."
Calphion softly says, "These invaders seem too strong for me to help."
Leafiara says, "Will be back soon as I can raise again. Tackling the front lines..."
[scouting and triage, but there's actually no more combat to be found...]
Winding Down
[General] Leafiara asks, "Is there a main front anywhere?" [at this point Leafi wasn't seeing any more combatants]
[General] Perigourd thinks, "It looks like shadow tactics mostly."
[General] Perigourd thinks, "Firebombs and hit and fade."
[combat]
[General] Leafiara thinks, "They're learning, then."
[OOC note: Phenia sends Leafi a thought that she's paralyzed; I'm guessing it's because the Remnant enemies have been based off Rook enemies from half a decade ago and more, many of which were rangers and presumably had Wall of Thorns. I can't write off the possibility of a targeted attack against candidates, though, but I think that would far more likely be straight to death, not paralysis..]
[Wehnimer's, Cheridin Ave.]
Several small shops crowd along the street, which is composed of the back walls of the high buildings bordering the central square. Each storefront vies with the others for street space and the attention of the many travellers who pass through here. A few traders, hoping to take advantage of some late business attracted by the nearby temple, have set up stands and pushcarts filled with clothing, trinkets and souvenirs. You also see the clerics' shop.
Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, High Lady Saraphenia who is lying down
Leafiara says, "Hmm."
[General] Pukk asks, "Any more fires?"
[travel after she gets up]
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Not seeing any fires nor combatants so far..."
[General] Dumple thinks, "Attacks seemed to have calmed."
Leafiara says, "It seems to have calmed down."
Leafiara says, "They might have only had enough for a big ambush and one followup."
[General] Leafiara tentatively thinks, "It does seem so..."
Discussion Afterward
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a glittering dark emerald swirled with ebon inclusions, the Pukk disk, a yellow-eyed forest wolfhound, a black leather book flying around with its feathery wings, a sinuous bone white serpent, a mirthful luck spirit that is flying around, the Ouidanna disk, a tawny-eyed shaggy cream ixacikta lamb, the leaf-shrouded Niffly disk encircled by overlapping leaves, a disgruntled spring spirit that is flying around, a furious forest spirit that is flying around, the Kitac disk, the Sagewitch disk, the Aeisa disk, the Angelonia disk, a scorched black marble bench and a large fel tree.

[General] Pukk exclaims, "You know at least they didn't set fire to the DBC! That would be a disaster! I mean it would really hurt us!"
[General] Stormyrain thinks, "Any report from town? I have not seen anything in my past two rounds."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Didn't see anything likewise. Returning to Voln."
[General] Pukk exclaims, "They better not do that!"
Saraphenia darkly warns, "Those responsible for tonight's atrocity will be found, tried, convicted and hung!"
[General] Leafiara reports, "But it seems that the fallen have been managed at last too."
[General] Dumple thinks, "Making town rounds no combatants found as of yet."
[General] Pukk exclaims, "By DBC I mean the one on west road! That is the one that would hurt us!"
Lahanna softly says, "I am never leaving the tree again."
Speaking to Leafiara, Mihorkan asks, "What's the best way to fight ?"
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Supplying manna food in case anyone needs help recovering and replacing your wards."
Speaking to Mihorkan, Guennwhfar says, "By proxy; hire someone else to fight for you."
Speaking to Mihorkan, Leafiara says, "The fighting seems to have calmed, but ordinarily the answer would be taking to the ballistas when you can't handle the front lines."
The ghostly voice of Markx says, "Good evening. I'm dead."
Leafiara says, "Back shortly..."
[General] Dumple thinks, "Whenimer all clear no baddies found."
Speaking to Markx, Saraphenia asks, "Isn't that a song?"
Speaking to Lehon, Pukk says, "Got lost I see."
[Leafi starts tripping all over herself and gets many glances]
Leafiara explains, "Picked up a doomstone in all that somehow."
[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.

Leafiara asks, "All calm in town now too?"
Missoni says, "So it seems."
Leafiara says, "Hmm..."
[more scouting to check, but it does seem all clear]
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water.

Leafiara cautiously says, "Okay... hopefully not too early to call, but it might be safe out there now."
Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia says, "Goddess, I'm heading home for the night."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "Rest well, sweets."
Nalbon says, "Town should be safe."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I think everything's calmed down, but I have to be certain, so... we'll regroup tomorrow."
Emperia says, "I certainly hope that I don't grow to hate Moot Hall as much as I do that lake."
Saraphenia exclaims, "Vote Saraphenia! For Love, FOR WEHNIMER'S!"
[General] Leafiara asks, "The fallen live, healing seems handled, and the streets are safe for now... so all clear?"
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "I wonder which one of the prospective councilors set them off this time?"
Speaking jovially to Emperia, Leafiara jests, "Well, you didn't run for office, so I think you'll be fine."
Guennwhfar exclaims, "For love!"
Emperia says, "Yes, I was just about to offer my condolences to all of the candidates before the explosions."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "Is there any doubt?"
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "As soon as Vaemyr told me who the candidates were, I knew."
Leafiara says, "As ever, it's Irval's fault."
[Leafi resumes tripping over herself from the doomstone]
Kitac pulls Leafiara to her feet.
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I think it was Kayse's name."
Kitac says, "What ya pick up."
Tikba amusedly says, "Let her rest."
Speaking surprisedly to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "Wait, you think it was Kayse?"
Tikba says, "She is doomed."
Speaking offhandedly to Kitac, Leafiara says, "A doomstone."
Leafiara says, "The price I pay for grabbing up eight boxes in the square."
[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Seems all clear."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "So, I see you have fallen for me."
Saraphenia asks, "They weren't targeting me?"
Speaking playfully to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Oh yes."
Leafiara says, "Okay, all joking aside, they might have been targeting every candidate."
Leafiara says, "I just always give Irval a hard time."
Saraphenia says, "Irval and I are both RYSK officers."
Saraphenia says, "That means the RYSK vote will be split, I think."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "He's been... very, very, very angry against the Rooks and Remnants alike."
Pukk says, "Well Irval hates us rooks, they hate us. So them and Irval should be good. Kayse on the other hand. I can see them getting upset."
Pukk says, "Also Tayler."
Leafiara says, "Eh, Irval hates the Remnants too, so.."
Saraphenia says, "Guess its good nobody knows me."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "But he hates everybody."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "The Remnants probably do know you, truthfully..."
Tikba says, "He was not there to be killed in any case."
Leafiara says, "They do keep tabs on a lot of things."
Lehon says, "Take my time to drink the coffee."
Speaking suddenly to Tikba, Leafiara says, "Oh, good point."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "They could be trying to get to you through her."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara agrees, "Exactly, or vice versa."
Speaking to Pukk, Saraphenia asks, "Do what now?"
Speaking to Saraphenia, Pukk says, "She said vice versa which means that you have a vice and it is upside down."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "The Remnants will look for any way to destroy the Rooks, so going after my wife would be the sort of plan they might think of. At least, that's our speculation--Pukk and me."
[General] Pukk thinks, "That body in the small park wants to stay there it seems."
Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia exclaims, "They're not going to harm you, and they're not going to use me to do it either!"
[General] Leafiara ruefully agrees, "Yep."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I know."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I'm just saying it's the sort of plan they're dumb enough to think of."
[General] Geijon thinks, "Town Center seems safe along with th' surroundings."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "She is so cute when she gets worked up."
Pukk exclaims, "Lehon was just like, what the heck. I was minding my own business!"
Lehon says, "Was trying to fill a bucket but was having a time with it."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Saraphenia is a masochist isn't she?"
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara muses, "Well... I mean, she ran for office despite seeing what I went through, so let's go with yes."
Pukk says, "I thought so."
[General] Mihorkan thinks, "You're welcome landing for saving the day. I'll add it to your tab."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Pukk says, "Okay. I have some advice for you."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "So, I suppose, the good news is that all they had in them tonight was an ambush followed by a single big strike. Likely dwindling resources."
[General] Leafiara adds, "At least, one hopes."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Pukk says, "If you get in. Pretend that you can't read or write and have everybody do everything for you. It will make life easier."
[General] Directed to Mihorkan, Nalver thinks, "Didn't you die multiple times ohh valiant knight."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara adds, "Was legitimately Pukk's strategy."
[General] Mihorkan exclaims, "Only to save others!"
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Worked perfectly too."
Speaking cheerfully to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Though just being you helps too."
[General] Mihorkan thinks, "I put my giant body in front of the orb - there would have been many more deaths otherwise."
[General] Kitac thinks, "I just happened to wander thru helping the pixies with a voln step."
[General] Kelfyr thinks, "It was an ambush followed by a number of strikes on businesses, followed by coordinated assaults by masses of highly trained operatives. I'm not going to count on any weakening from that performance."
[General] Kitac thinks, "Found bunch dead folk."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I brought a sense of humor to the council."
Speaking playfully to Pukk, Leafiara asks, "Maybe one day you'll do it again?"
[General] Pukk asks, "Where?"
[General] Kitac thinks, "Landing voln all fixed now."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "I... believe he's saying past tense. Yeah."
Pukk says, "He got us."
Speaking surprisedly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Wait, that's not a no."
Leafiara amusedly says, "Oh, that."
Speaking amusedly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "I'd be amazed if you would ever consider running for council again."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Yeah. When I start following V'Tull."
Pukk chatters to himself, apparently engaged in a spirited debate with his alter ego.
Speaking to himself, Pukk says, "Not you."
Speaking lightly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Right then, looking forward to it."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I was hoping Gutstorm and Dwi would run."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara asks, "This is very late for you... we should get you home, eh?"
Speaking ruefully to Pukk, Leafiara says, "I know, me too. At lesat Guts."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I was already working on my dwarven campaigns for them."
Leafiara says, "Getting Phenia home, everyone take care."
Pukk says, "Have fun."
Leafiara exclaims, "Ya know it!"
Leafiara suddenly says, "Wait."
Pukk says, "A little death gets her going."
Speaking amusedly to Pukk, Leafiara says, "No, no, she's just going to sleep. I'll be right back out."
Leafiara says, "It's way too late for that other sort of thing."
Pukk says, "Sure."
Leafiara amusedly says, "Fine, fine, I can't convince you."
[travel, but I'll skip the talk between Leafi and Phenia to just keep it to public thoughts; basically, though, Leafi just explains what the orbs are and Phenia says the Remnants have strengthened her resolved to protect the Landing]
[General] Pukk exclaims, "Tonight's death and mayham was brought to you by our group leader Kayse!"
[General] Kayse flatly thinks, "I did not cause ANY of that."
[General] Directed to Kayse, Pukk exclaims, "Okay. How about I think it like this. Kayse! Leading our group to death and mayhem!"
[General] Kayse wryly thinks, "Sounds like my campaign slogan for this year."
[General] Leafiara thinks, "Now hold on, Stormy calls Cryheart the Harbinger of Discord and there can only be one..."
[General] Petat thinks, "Bye."
[General] Leafiara muses, "...right?"
[General] Pukk asks, "Kayse can be the Mistress of Mayhem?"
[General] Kiyna thinks, "I think Cryheart is a reasonable, accomodating guy. He'd share the glory."
[General] Pukk thinks, "To everyone that helped put out the fires: Today we stand here because we were not just fighting for ourselves, but also for others. We are fighting for friends, family, home and town. We stand against them to ensure that everything we hold sacred will not perish and burn. We stand tall with our heads unbowed."
[General] Pukk thinks, "Thank you all."
[General] Leafiara agrees, "Three cheers for all our town defenders!"
[General] Vaemyr thinks, "Agreed, thank you everyone that helped out."
[General] Wonkus exclaims, "Can I also have some credit for the defense? I wasn't there, but...I like getting credit for things. Also good job everybody and also me!"
[Phenia goes to sleep; Leafi returns to Voln]
[General] Pukk exclaims, "Sure, why not!"
[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see the Aeisa disk, the Sagewitch disk, the Angelonia disk, a braid of cracked wheat bread, a cheesy orange cracker sandwich, a glazed chocolate donut, a spicy pork-filled bun, a sugar-dusted travel biscuit, a puffy glazed doughnut, a braid of cracked wheat bread, a swirled disk of blue and yellow ground cornmeal, a salty sourdough biscuit, a spicy pork-filled bun, a crusty wheat braid, a golden breakfast tart, a crusty wheat braid, a bacon-topped steamed bun, a round of fried dough branded with a charred design, a puffy glazed doughnut, the Pukk disk, a scorched black marble bench with an iron bucket on it and a large fel tree.
Also here: Whimweaver Leafiara, Aeisa, Angelonia, Sagewitch, Dumple who is sitting, Pukk, Andromalius who is lying down, Bramard who is lying down
Pukk says, "I'm keeping our troops motivated."
Pukk says, "I hope we didn't lose too many of our rooks this time."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "If we end up reorganizing the Rooks in any way, I'm telling Beldrin that you and I should be the field commanders."
Leafiara says, "And Chandy too."
Pukk says, "Heck yeah."
Leafiara says, "We're always on everybody's case about making coordination work."
Leafiara says, "Across town, inside and out."
Pukk says, "That is our deal."
Pukk asks, "Is Sara okay?"
Leafiara says, "Meanwhile, Kayse has better resources and connections..."
Pukk says, "I know she went through a lot."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Oh, yeah, she's fine."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I'm still wondering about her."
Leafiara says, "This caught her off guard, and all of us I guess."
Leafiara says, "But I cheered her up with a quick talk and explanation of what was going on."
Andromalius says, "Oh no, was there an invasion? I slept through the whole thing."
Leafiara says, "One sec..."
[I had to log off and back on for some reason I don't remember]
Pukk says, "Orb thrown by a Remnant. Old rooks that don't want to retire the old ways of doing things. So they are taking it out on the town."
Leafiara says, "There we go."
Pukk says, "They set fire to a bunch of buildings too."
Andromalius says, "That's terrible. Hope most got saved."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk asks, "Feel better?"
Leafiara exclaims, "Yep!"
Pukk says, "A lot died. But the clerics and healers had a ball."
Speaking to Andromalius, Leafiara says, "They're a slowly dying force putting out their last gasps. We'll end them in little time, I trust."
Leafiara exclaims, "Rook pride is on the line, among other things!"
Pukk says, "They will die."
You see a white blur form near you, which quickly fades into Tayler.
Sarissa Tayler just went west.
Leafiara yells, "Evening Tayler!"
Leafiara yells, "I look forward to the council with you, Kayse, Phenia, and Vaemyr!"
Pukk says, "Not me. Not yet anyways."
Pukk says, "I don't want that headache again. Not right now."
Leafiara says, "Doubt I'll ever go for it again, honestly."
Pukk says, "You think I'm crazy now? Just wait till then."
Leafiara says, "But you never know what could change in a year."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "You've done everything already."
Speaking to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Exactly."
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Except Envoy."
Leafiara says, "I need things that challenge me and... it just wouldn't."
Speaking dubiously to Pukk, Leafiara says, "Well, true, but that Envoy thing sounds like a lot of work and no voting power."
Pukk exclaims, "Right. All work and no benefits!"
Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "I went through a whole jar of salve."
Pukk says, "Thinking back. I died 3 times and not 2."
Pukk says, "I let my soul depart and woke up in the temple."
Apprentice Anamarii just arrived.
Anamarii walks into the spring.
Pukk yells, "Have fun in the spring!"
Pukk exclaims, "It will wash those troubles away!"
Leafiara says, "Welp, suppose I should head off and take care of some things before bed..."
Pukk says, "Me too."
Leafiara pleasedly says, "I'm so happy with all my new manna recipes."
Pukk says, "I need to wait for the invoker and then head to bed."
Pukk says, "You always have the best breads."
Pukk picks up a cheesy orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk exclaims, "Ooh!"
Pukk takes a bite of his orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk takes a bite of his orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk takes a bite of his orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk takes a bite of his orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk takes a bite of his orange cracker sandwich.
Pukk exclaims, "That hit the spot!"

Leafiara amusedly says, "Okay, I'd better get outta here before the monks kick me out."
