 Discussion with Talliver Cont. (log) 

---

Lithyia says, "Talliver..."

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "Me learned to gree wit ever Dwi proclaim."

Lilanna's sonic falchion dissipates.

With great skill, Lilanna removes one of the chords from her harmony while maintaining the symmetry of those that remain.

You quietly ask, "Can we take Talliver home?"

Lithyia turns to face Talliver.

ELLEREL wipes the sweat from his brow.

Lilanna's tower shield dissipates.

With great skill, Lilanna removes one of the chords from her harmony while maintaining the symmetry of those that remain.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Lilanna, "His home might be more comfortable."

An ethereal bluish-green light swirls around the blade of Falvicar's somnis katana, and it quickly grows translucent before vanishing.

Lithyia says, "This is important Talliver."

Lithyia says, "We need to know it is really you."

Lilanna says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "One thing at a time."

ELLEREL says, "The return spell was, it appears... a bit off."

Dendum rubs his feather-shaped charm.

Oddly enough, Dendum seems somewhat more buoyant.

Perigourd folds his arms over his chest.

Missoni agrees with Lithyia.

Tolene focuses on Gutstorm with intense concentration.

Gutstorm's right arm wound gradually fades, forming on Tolene's right arm instead.

Lithyia says, "Because of what Thaiagol has done."

Falvicar says, "Randsford the traitor."

Falvicar nods firmly.

Lithyia glances at Talliver.

The cuts on Tolene's right arm close and the bruises fade.

Olgretien joins Lilanna's group.

Tolene focuses on Lithyia with intense concentration.

Lithyia's chest wound gradually fades, forming on Tolene's chest instead.

You move to stand in front of ELLEREL.

>hug eller

ELLEREL doesn't look like he'd care for that.

Darphin says, speaking to ELLEREL, "We seem to have an issue."

Olgretien frowns.

The cuts on Tolene's right hand close and the bruises fade.

The scar on Tolene's right hand glows faintly white before fading altogether.

Jehance hugs Talliver.

Talliver says, "I am myself. At least, I hope I am."

Lithyia slings a zelnorn buckler over her shoulder, then adjusts it against her back.

You say, speaking quietly to ELLEREL, "Thank you."

Lithyia asks, "Talliver, what color was the sweater i knit for you?"

Talliver says, "Pardon me, I need to..."

Talliver selects an available padded seat and makes his way over to it, quietly taking a spot.

Wolfloner slings a shadow black spike-riddled buckler over his shoulder.

Perigourd removes a tiny peahen automaton from in his green leather cloak.

Geijon says, "I don't know th' details enough about what Randsford offered, but he had to be given th' choice of will to choose."

Perigourd turns the small key on the underside of his peahen automaton, releasing it as a series of small clicks causes the peahen to unfurl its gear-affixed tailfeathers. A loud, ear-piercing scream reverberates through its open beak, the tiny automaton screeching to a halt as it rests within Perigourd's palm.

Wolfloner loses some awareness.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Perigourd put a tiny peahen automaton in his green leather cloak.

The cuts on Tolene's left leg close and the bruises fade.

The scar on Tolene's left leg glows faintly white before fading altogether.

Lithyia glances at Talliver.

Lilanna pours herself a bottle of cold spring water.

Perigourd looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Geijon says, "And he chose."

Gutstorm sits down next to Talliver.

Missoni slowly empties her lungs.

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "It is good to see you alive."

Lilanna offers Talliver a bottle of cold spring water.

Seven phantom tentacles sprout from the base of Aliashyrah's spine, wrapping her in a binding embrace.

Aliashyrah gestures.

There is a bright flash and some manna bread appears in the air, then falls into Aliashyrah's left hand.

Draelor just arrived.

Missoni says, speaking gently to Talliver, "I am afraid we require further proof."

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Dendum says, "What an absolute roltons arse."

Geijon asks, speaking to ELLEREL, "What happened between you talking and when you could hear us again for th' anchor?"

Lithyia says, "Late last night... the sphere..."

Talliver accepts Lilanna's cold spring water.

Lithyia says, "It revealed to Lilanna additional information."

Lilanna peers quizzically at Dendum.

Talliver takes a drink from his cold spring water.

Aliashyrah offers Talliver some manna bread.

Dendum says, "Months we have been keeping orb from Coven."

Several sigils incised along Missoni's surita staff flicker briefly with glittery prismatic energy.

Perigourd says, speaking to Missoni, "The peahen doesn't sense anything."

Lithyia says, "That Thaiagol had taken blood from Talliver for...other...reasons."

Missoni says, speaking to Perigourd, "It never has, though."

Lithyia says, "We do not know what those reasons are."

Dendum says, "Then here comes stupid Randsford...here take orb for same thing we said no to."

Draelor says, speaking to Dendum, "Seems that one had other plans."

Chamorr asks, speaking heartily to Talliver, "Wanna tart?"

Lithyia says, "But we have suspicions."

Perigourd says, "True enough."

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Aliashyrah's fingers traverse down the chain of her necklace, the perfumed tendrils of smoke constricting across her body, engufling her. Aliashyrah's voice utters a single command, causing the haze to dissipate as her silhouette emerges from the curtain.

Aliashyrah gestures into the air.

Aliashyrah gets a frustrated look on her face.

Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Mebbe he want grow him on Dabinnses?"

Sorlu put a mithril-edged vultite buckler inset with thick steel knobs in his midnight suede rucksack.

Sorlu put a dwarven slaughtering axe in his weapon harness.

Aliashyrah put a sanguine tentacle-graced crosier covered in crystallized jade-tinted black suckers in her obsidian satin robe.

Lilanna shakes her head.

Darphin asks, speaking to Lithyia, "Do you not?"

Dendum says, "Could have saved walk and just roleld over for Coven months ago."

Lithyia asks, "Do i not what?"

Lilanna says, "You're all stupid."

Lithyia glances at Darphin.

Blades just arrived.

Talliver says, speaking to Lithyia, "I do remember the sweater, though..."

Gutstorm grins impishly at Blades.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Talliver glances away.

Chamorr glances at Lilanna.

Lithyia nods at Talliver.

Blades glances at Gutstorm.

You notice Roelon moving stealthily into the room.

Tolene writhes, her face twisted with pain as if her very bones are aflame.

Darphin says, speaking to Lithyia, "The reasons to take the blood."

Talliver takes a drink from his cold spring water.

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Blades, "Talliver put me upta it."

Darphin shakes his head.

Roelon takes a moment to observe Talliver.

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Talliver offers Falvicar a silver-edged somnis longknife.

Falvicar says, speaking to Talliver, "If you lost your blade, I can craft you another one if you'd like."

Falvicar accepts Talliver's somnis longknife.

Talliver says, speaking to Falvicar, "Your blade."

Queatus just arrived.

Falvicar holds his somnis longknife to his chest and bows gracefully.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Talliver says, "They took all of my clothing, I fear."

Lithyia says, "Darphin, I assume it's because he wants to either control Talliver or make himself appear to look like Talliver."

Gutstorm covers his eyes with his hands.

Lithyia says, "But i know nothing of blood magic."

Falvicar put a silver-edged somnis longknife in his leather back sheath.

Lithyia glances at Darphin.

The churning spectral aura suddenly vanishes from around Wolfloner.

Roelon cringes.

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Roelon inclines his ear, listening intently.

Darphin says, speaking to Lithyia, "That seems a little short sighted."

Aliashyrah offers Talliver some manna bread.

Talliver accepts Aliashyrah's manna bread.

The brilliant, rapidly shifting aura around Missoni shimmers and flickers briefly before fading.

Lilanna nods at Darphin.

Talliver takes a bite of his manna bread.

Talliver looks much more calm and refreshed.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Lithyia annoyedly asks, "Then why dont you tell me?"

Lithyia glares at Darphin.

Darphin says, speaking to Lithyia, "I would assume it more likely we will see more creatures like what we faced to night..."

Roelon furrows his brow.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Roelon slings his orase knight's shield over his shoulder and onto a tangled mass of oily fishing nets on the back of his alloy weapons bandolier.

Roelon hangs a perfect black dragon-guised waraxe inlaid with shadowy wraithline from one of the repurposed leather garter straps on his alloy weapons bandolier.

Sorlu removes a slender Nalfein-styled cane from in his midnight suede rucksack.

Darphin says, "With a purer more rightious blood in them."

Roelon glances south.

Missoni says, speaking to Talliver, "If you recall, perhaps you will answer, for our peace of mind."

Tolene looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.

Tolene murmurs a simple, mystical chant...

Tolene concentrates.

Tolene's chest looks better.

Elronae pushes her hand down the surface of her runestaff. The glow surrounding her runestaff splinters and cracks as it returns to a lifeless state.

Lithyia says, "I was busy fighting and didnt even get a good chance to look upon them."

Elronae put a marred runestaff in her ebon leather pack.

Roelon's spirits are no longer lifted.

Draelor's spirits are no longer lifted.

Queatus's spirits are no longer lifted.

Tolene begins to look better as the cuts on her chest close and the bruises fade.

Lithyia says, "I just cut them."

Lilanna coughs.

Lithyia says, "Again and again and again."

Lilanna taps her foot impatiently.

Lilanna taps her foot impatiently.

Elronae removes a small veniom-bound armoire from in her blue chainsil cloak.

Elronae opens her veniom-bound armoire, then suddenly several articles of clothing fly off of her and into the armoire.

Talliver says, "A moment. Please. Everything is a little difficult to focus upon."

Elronae put a small veniom-bound armoire in her blue chainsil cloak.

Talliver takes a drink from his cold spring water.

Darphin says, speaking to Lithyia, "A fair amount were not, acolytes if you will."

Missoni nods understandingly.

Blades leans on his axe.

Roelon slowly empties his lungs.

Dendum's spirits are no longer lifted.

The air stops shimmering around Dendum.

Lilanna nods at Roelon.

Falvicar nods.

Lithyia turns to face Talliver.

You quietly ask, "Would you like an escort home?"

Lithyia slowly empties her lungs.

Lithyia smiles at Talliver.

Talliver says, "It was red, though. A peculiar red, like lingonberries."

Lithyia nods at Talliver.

Lithyia says, "Yes."

Lithyia says, "It was."

Lithyia nods.

You quietly say, "You may want to freshen up and put on fresh clothes."

Everything around you seems to distort for a moment.

Talliver says, speaking to you, "I don't think I can walk another step."

Lilanna says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Thaiagol has Randsford."

Missoni adopts an agreeable expression.

With a final metallic hum, the whir of gears from within your bear hide pack stutters to a halt.

Falvicar removes a set of lustrous black leather reins from in his silk-lined cloak.

Geijon appears less confident.

Lithyia says, "He knows the sweater color."

Lithyia nods.

ELLEREL says, "He isn't well, though."

Lilanna says, speaking to Talliver, "Rest."

Wolfloner nods at Lithyia.

ELLEREL says, "There's something missing. More than just vitality."

Geijon rubs Talliver.

Falvicar says, speaking to Talliver, "Can ride Thandyle to your home if you'd like.. or wherever you will be going."

Lithyia says, "So he is Talliver or he is a very good knowledable copy."

Lilanna frowns at ELLEREL.

Sorlu raises an eyebrow in ELLEREL's direction.

Wolfloner turns an inquisitive ear toward ELLEREL.

Missoni looks at ELLEREL with concern.

Queatus says, "I dunno, if they tortured him,,cman coup."

Perigourd says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Thaiagol has been experimenting on him."

Queatus babbles something unintelligible.

Dendum says, speaking to ELLEREL, ""The city drains those who walk the streets it is said....we felt it."

Sorlu agrees with Perigourd.

Lithyia nods at Perigourd.

Queatus says, "I dunno, if they tortured him, the sweater is probably the first think they asked about."

Dendum says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Accidently ended up on street.....short time..."

Queatus nods.

Chamorr says, speaking heartily to ELLEREL, "What."

Wolfloner loses some awareness.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Sorlu gazes in amusement at Queatus.

Dendum says, "Perhaps they drained the mayor as well."

Aliashyrah begins chuckling at Queatus!

Dendum glances at Talliver.

Dendum says, ""Give it some food."

Elronae grins at Queatus.

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "Well long ash dey not drain him bank accoujnt, me not git paid yet."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Dendum, "I did give him some."

Gutstorm grunts noncommittally and shrugs his shoulders.

Lithyia takes a moment to observe Talliver.

Falvicar sighs.

Wolfloner says, speaking to Dendum, "He had a long exposure to Sablecross."

Talliver quietly says, "I feel it too."

Lithyia invokes the divine name of Niima as she stows her rolaren dagger in her cognac leather wrist-sheath with a flash of luminescent ocean blue mist. A salty spray of ocean water lingers briefly in the air.

Falvicar nods.

Talliver says, "They took me from my cell."

Missoni frowns at Talliver.

Lilanna frowns.

Sorlu glances appraisingly at Talliver.

Roelon frowns at Talliver.

Wolfloner turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Talliver says, "To the top of the tower."

Geijon nods at Perigourd.

Darphin says, "Fed him to the quokka."

A small opening suddenly forms at the top of Gutstorm's jet spidersilk bag and you catch a quick glimpse of two blue-speckled spiders with bright viridian eyes disappearing back into the bag.

Darphin nods slowly.

Gutstorm removes a surly dwarf jester doll from in his keg-shaped pack.

Gutstorm shows Blades his dwarf jester doll.

Queatus asks, "What's a quokka?"

"Bless the gods," Jehance murmurs as he stows his golvern lance in his golden leather scabbard with a flash of bright light. A low rumble lingers briefly in the air.

Aliashyrah helpfully says, "An animal."

Darphin says, speaking to Queatus, "Cute lil rat thing."

Queatus says, "Ah."

Draelor nods at Dendum.

Tolene writhes, her face twisted with pain as if her very bones are aflame.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Queatus, "Small, fairly cute, uncanny smile and eyes."

Lilanna asks, speaking to Darphin, "Dendum?"

Sorlu snickers at Lilanna.

Queatus nods slowly.

Darphin says, speaking to Lilanna, "I said cute."

Lilanna says, "Ah."

Lilanna nods at Darphin.

Queatus says, "Sounds terrifying."

Talliver looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.

Jehance nods at Queatus.

Darphin says, speaking to Queatus, "Can be im told."

Lithyia takes a moment to observe Talliver.

Lilanna tilts her head toward Talliver, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.

Wolfloner asks, "Have arrangements been made for the Mayor's protection?"

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "What happend on the roof."

Missoni's pure white barrier flashes rapidly and the sound of breaking crystal can be heard as it cascades down around her.

Randsford appears in a flash of light, looking slightly disoriented.

Lithyia glances at Randsford.

Queatus nods at Jehance.

Wolfloner nods at Randsford.

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Randsford, "Yoo late."

Perigourd glances appraisingly at Randsford.

Roelon frowns at Randsford.

Geijon says, "I can stay with him."

Randsford says, "It is done."

Lilanna says, "Perhaps something more soothing..."

Lithyia asks, "What did you do?"

Randsford nods firmly.

Roelon takes a moment to observe Randsford.

Lilanna pours herself a wood bowl of ginger and leek soup poured over scallions.

Roelon nods slowly.

Lilanna offers Talliver a wood bowl of ginger and leek soup poured over scallions.

Queatus grins.

Randsford says, speaking to Lithyia, "What needed to be done."

Randsford grins at Wolfloner.

"Kneel to Niima!" Lithyia declares as she draws a slender rolaren dagger from her cognac leather wrist-sheath with a flash of luminescent ocean blue mist. A salty spray of ocean water fills the air for a moment.

Geijon rubs Talliver.

Randsford flashes a wolfish grin.

Perigourd shakes his head.

Missoni shifts her eyes to Randsford.

Concealing her rolaren dagger from view, Lithyia feigns an air of nonchalance as she sneaks up behind Randsford to surprise him with a headlock. Randsford manages to catch Lithyia's wrist and twists it until she yelps and backs off!

Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Ye giff em a fake orb?"

Lithyia sneers at Randsford.

Randsford says, speaking to Lithyia, "It is safe."

Darphin says, "And now there is four."

Gutstorm suspiciously grunts at Randsford.

Chamorr says, speaking heartily to Randsford, "You said you could surrender."

Randsford winks at Lithyia.

Lithyia asks, "SAfe?"

Lithyia asks, "With Thaiagol?"

Queatus grins.

Dendum turns to face Randsford.

Lilanna glances at Randsford.

Lilanna asks, speaking to Randsford, "He let you go?"

Perigourd says, speaking to Randsford, "You could elaborate."

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Lithyia, "You truly believe Randsford would give the orb to them?"

Randsford says, speaking to Lilanna, "I gave him what he wanted."

Randsford shrugs at Lilanna.

Wolfloner says, "We saved a good man. That is what happened."

Randsford snickers.

Wolfloner nods at Lilanna.

A pale white aura dances across your plumille houppelande.

Lithyia says, "I dont know if that's really Talliver standing in front of us and i dont know what Randsford really just did."

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Randsford, "Ah, then you took my suggestion and made a fake?"

Lithyia says, "So he better get to talking."

Talliver takes a drink from his cold spring water.

Lilanna nods.

Randsford says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "No fake, just not THE orb but AN orb."

Randsford winks at Aliashyrah.

Aliashyrah nods at Randsford.

Wolfloner smiles at Randsford.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Randsford, "I've been suggesting that for a while."

Lithyia says, "Thaiagol is going to kill you."

Sorlu flashes a quick grin at Randsford.

Randsford says, "So few lacking faith tonight."

Randsford shakes his head, clucking his tongue.

ELLEREL glances between Lithyia and Randsford.

Wolfloner loses some awareness.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Randsford nods slowly at Lithyia.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Randsford, "I never doubted you."

Gutstorm asks, speaking drunkenly to Talliver, "Dat yoo in dere Mayor Dabbinses?"

Lithyia says, "You know you're a dead man."

Lilanna says, "I'm surprised he let you go already, but also glad."

Randsford says, speaking to Lithyia, "Then we prepare for what comes next."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Randsford, "In fact, I figured the others were in on it with how hard they were selling their outrage."

Sorlu says, speaking to Randsford, "I had nothing but faith in you."

Sorlu smiles at Randsford.

Queatus grins.

Blades yawns.

Blades folds his arms over his chest.

Darphin put a sigil-inlaid dark faewood walking stick in his black leather jacket. As it leaves his hands, the illumination of its sigils slowly ebbs away.

ELLEREL shakes his head, looking miserable.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Falvicar says, speaking to Randsford, "If that's true, i doubt it wont be long til he finds out with how credible Thaiagol is as a mage."

Lithyia nods at Dendum.

Darphin says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Tell us what you know."

Randsford nods grimly at Falvicar.

Wolfloner asks, speaking to ELLEREL, "What is wrong?"

Lilanna ponders, "He should have been able to tell... ?"

Queatus and Randsford shake hands.

Randsford says, speaking to Falvicar, "We bought some time but not much."

Geijon nods at Lilanna.

Queatus exclaims, "I never had a doubt!"

Falvicar glances at Talliver.

Queatus exclaims, "Back in the gang!"

Queatus nods at Randsford.

Falvicar glances at Randsford.

ELLEREL says, "The Orb--the real Orb--shines like a beacon to my magical senses."

Randsford begins chuckling at Queatus!

Roelon nods at ELLEREL.

Lilanna raises an eyebrow in ELLEREL's direction.

The very powerful look leaves Falvicar.

The white light leaves Falvicar.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Falvicar.

Lady Valarae's group just arrived.

Nothing happens.

Lilanna asks, speaking to ELLEREL, "And so it should have to Thaigol, no?"

Deep blue motes swirl away from Wolfloner and fade.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Something else was gained tonight. They never expected to get the orb."

Sorlu squints.

Lithyia nods at Lilanna.

Darphin asks, speaking to ELLEREL, "And so it does to Thaiagol too, yis what you are saying?"

Valarae offers Talliver some black suede pants caught with horn buttons.

Dendum glances at Talliver.

Roelon grumbles at Randsford.

Roelon nods at Randsford.

ELLEREL nods at Darphin.

Gutstorm grunts at Valarae happily, grinning.

Talliver accepts Valarae's black suede pants.

Olgretien deeply asks, "You'll not be walking alone any more right Mr. Mayor sir?"

Lilanna glances at Randsford.

Randsford shrugs at Roelon.

Falvicar asks, speaking to Randsford, "So what will we do when he finds out and unleashes his wrath?"

Aliashyrah says, speaking to ELLEREL, "So there is another piece, as yet hidden, that was the purpose of bringing us there. And it was very likely so we could recover Mayor Dabbings."

Valarae removes some tall brass-buckled brown suede boots from in her white leather capelet.

Talliver quietly says, "Thank you."

Randsford exclaims, speaking to Roelon, "Your darn fault for disappearing!"

Valarae offers Talliver some tall brass-buckled brown suede boots.

Randsford grumbles at Roelon.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Talliver, "You may be the biggest threat to us now."

Gutstorm stands up.

Gutstorm moves to stand in front of Talliver.

Talliver says, "And no, once I have recovered, I will be sure to keep a retinue with me."

Talliver accepts Valarae's brown suede boots.

Valarae says, "News is speading fast that you have returned."

Valarae nods.

Talliver puts some tall brass-buckled brown suede boots onto his feet.

Roelon deeply says, "And this could still all be ah dream."

Dendum glances between Gutstorm and Talliver.

Randsford says, speaking to Roelon, "Someone had to come up with a plan and be a step ahead of them."

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "Nuffin to see here."

Valarae removes a garnet suede tunic lined in onyx brocade from in her white leather capelet.

Missoni asks, speaking gently to Talliver, "The top of the spire. What happened there?"

Talliver works his way out of some stained rags.

Valarae offers Talliver a garnet suede tunic lined in onyx brocade.

Falvicar smiles at Valarae.

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Dendum, "We need protect him modeshty."

Talliver throws away the rags.

The dim aura fades from around Draelor.

Draelor begins to breathe less deeply.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting Draelor begins to falter, then completely fades away.

Lilanna says, speaking to her inset pewter talisman, "Preferably before."

Talliver accepts Valarae's garnet suede tunic.

Talliver works his way into a garnet suede tunic lined in onyx brocade.

Valarae curtsies to Talliver.

Randsford glances at Talliver.

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Randsford, "Ah wait until ye turn into ah kilt tryin' to consume mah legs off."

Roelon squints at Randsford.

Randsford says, speaking to Talliver, "I am glad to see you back."

Roelon deeply says, "But aye.."

Roelon takes a moment to observe Falvicar.

Roelon nods slowly.

Valarae says, speaking to Talliver, "The town is there for you Sir."

Lady Valarae's group just went south.

Aliashyrah nods at Sorlu.

Sorlu nods slowly.

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "Yoo got da shupport of da Whemdingersh too."

Gutstorm raises his fist defiantly.

Falvicar nods at Roelon.

Queatus asks, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Your idea about the fake?"

Blades glances at Gutstorm.

Talliver says, "You're saying that he knew."

Chamorr slowly empties his lungs.

Queatus nods approvingly.

Blades asks, "You the king or somethin?"

Blades peers quizzically at Gutstorm.

Aliashyrah nods at Talliver.

ELLEREL firmly says, "He must have known."

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

Darphin nods at Talliver.

Gutstorm grunts at Blades and nods.

Perigourd tightly grips the sides of his leather belt with his gauntlets as he meaningfully leans forward and glares.

Sorlu frowns at Aliashyrah.

Lilanna nods at ELLEREL.

Lilanna glances at Randsford.

Lilanna begins to twitch.

Sweat streaks down Tolene's face in salty rivulets.

>look talliver

Tolene begins to look a little better.

You see Talliver Dabbings.

He appears to be a Paradis Halfling.

He is tallish and has a fighter's build. He appears to be in the prime of life. He has stern glacial blue eyes and weathered skin. He has short-cropped, greying curly brown hair worn in a military cut. He has a hard face and a sharp nose. His wiry arms are corded with muscle. He has more than a few scars.

He is in good shape.

He is holding some black suede pants caught with horn buttons in his right hand.

He is wearing a garnet suede tunic lined in onyx brocade, some tall brass-buckled brown suede boots, and a tawny brown and orange tartan kilt shot with saffron.

Randsford turns toward Lilanna and renders a sharp hand salute.

Darphin asks, "So why go along with it?"

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Queatus, "It was a silly idea but one I tossed out. But in truth, I beleive Thaiagal accomplished what he wished this evening, the return of our Mayor."

Sorlu glances suspiciously at Talliver.

Darphin peers quizzically at ELLEREL.

Randsford asks, speaking to Lilanna, "Mission accomplished?"

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Queatus, "To what purpose, I cannot say."

Randsford grins at Lilanna.

Talliver thoughtfully says, "Then either I am a trap, or we still do not know what Thaiagol has planned."

Falvicar nods.

Lilanna says, speaking to Randsford, "No."

Lithyia says, "You're a trap."

Lithyia nods at Talliver.

Aliashyrah nods slowly at Sorlu.

Perigourd glances at Talliver.

Missoni seems slightly different.

Dendum nods at Lithyia.

Lilanna says, "A ploy within a ploy."

Lithyia says, "Always a trap."

Blades says, "Or he took what he wanted already."

Blades shrugs.

Dendum nods at Lithyia.

Missoni agrees with Blades.

Darphin asks, speaking to Talliver, "You dont feel, spidery inside do you?"

Dendum says, speaking to Lithyia, "...eh."

Missoni says, speaking to Blades, "The blood of a hero."

Randsford says, speaking to Lilanna, "One always gets dirty when playing in the mud."

Dendum asks, speaking to Lithyia, "Know what tonight was?"

A white glow rushes away from Missoni.

Perigourd says, speaking to Talliver, "If I had to guess, I'd say the latter."

Blades nods at Missoni.

Missoni seems hesitant, looking unsure of herself.

Lilanna squints at Randsford.

Lithyia says, "A trap."

Darphin asks, speaking to Dendum, "The landing had an issue with that not long ago didnt they?"

Lithyia smiles at Dendum.

Dendum exclaims, speaking to Lithyia, "Yes a trap!"

Lithyia chuckles.

Olgretien deeply says, "He gave it a try, we said no. And dey don't want war...yet."

The glowing specks of energy surrounding Missoni suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.

Wolfloner loses some awareness.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Missoni returns to normal color.

Dendum says, speaking to Darphin, "Yes...using mind controlled mayor....turning slowly to darkness."

Lilanna asks, speaking to Randsford, "Who are you?"

Dendum says, "But Icemule turns slowly to darkness on its own."

Dendum says, "So should have no problem."

Darphin says, speaking to Dendum, "I was thinking the bodies that exploded and put out lots of spiders."

Draelor asks, speaking to Dendum, "Slowly?"

Geijon sighs.

Dendum asks, speaking to Draelor, "At brisk walk?"

The opalescent aura fades from around Missoni.

Draelor nods at Dendum.

Missoni furrows her brow.

Randsford says, speaking to Lilanna, "Doing what needed to be done."

Randsford nods slowly at Lilanna.

Chamorr says, speaking heartily to Lilanna, "Im still POd he surrenderd."

Lilanna says, "That's not what I asked."

Queatus detaches a twisted vaalin corkscrew from a vaalin-laced keyring.

Dendum says, speaking to Darphin, ""Oh yes...but before that there was mind controlled mayor...tricked the locals into guarding it as it did more and more damage."

Roelon glances between Randsford and Lilanna.

Queatus carefully inspects his vaalin corkscrew.

Darphin nods at Dendum.

Blades shrugs.

Dendum says, speaking to Darphin, "Use the old loyalty as lever to turn Knight against Knight."

Missoni agrees with Blades.

A subtle light fades from Missoni's eyes.

Talliver says, "If need be, I will stand down from the Mayorship, at least until my right mind and true nature can be assessed."

Queatus attaches a twisted vaalin corkscrew to a vaalin-laced keyring.

Randsford says, speaking to Lilanna, "Faithful to Oleani and protector of Northwatch."

Randsford nods firmly at Lilanna.

Chamorr says, speaking heartily to Randsford, "You surrender fer me again, i'll whack ya meself."

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "I would be wise."

Lithyia glances at Talliver.

Dendum says, speaking to Darphin, ""Then in the end covered the ground in blood."

ELLEREL says, speaking to Talliver, "I think that might be a wise precaution. You need to rest regardless."

Missoni frowns.

Missoni seems to lose an aura of confidence.

Randsford begins chuckling at Chamorr!

The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves Lilanna.

The bright luminescence fades from around Lilanna.

Lilanna glances around, looking a bit less confident.

The brilliant luminescence fades from around Lilanna.

The silvery luminescence fades from around Lilanna.

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "IT would be wise i mean."

Perigourd grunts.

Lilanna says, "Then you appoint another to act in your stead. the council is broken."

ELLEREL says, "However, we will need to be careful about who serves in your stead, as that could just as likely be Thaiagol's plan."

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Lilanna, "There is one test.."

Lithyia agrees with Lilanna.

Roelon's eyes suddenly flash with a deep sanguine glow.

Roelon turns to face Randsford.

Roelon playfully flips the folds of his black woolen kilt.

Queatus nods at Lilanna.

Missoni seems to lose some internal strength.

Talliver thoughtfully says, "Ellusine."

Queatus says, "Prolly outta be me."

Lithyia shudders.

Queatus nods.

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

Perigourd furrows his brow.

Randsford nods understandingly at Talliver.

Elronae grins at Queatus.

Lithyia says, "Gorga."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Lilanna, "Despite the words against it, the council held fairly well in the Mayor's absence."

Dendum says, "No...but Ellusine and Gorga."

Wolfloner says, speaking to ELLEREL, "Pick a know opponent of the Coven."

Sorlu nods at Talliver.

Talliver raises an eyebrow in Dendum's direction.

Lithyia says, "I'd rather it be Gorga."

Talliver says, "I like that idea."

Lilanna nods at Talliver.

Lilanna says, "Hardly."

Talliver says, "I believe Ellusine to be most uncorruptible, but Gorga is... well."

Talliver says, "Indomitable."

Falvicar shrugs.

Roelon shrugs.

Roelon vigorously shakes his head.

Gutstorm mutters indomamamtable.

Gutstorm ponders.

Falvicar peers quizzically at Roelon.

Dendum says, speaking to Gutstorm, "Like Dwarf head."

Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Wot mean?"

Dendum nods knowingly at Gutstorm.

The opalescent aura fades from around Aliashyrah.

The brilliant aura fades away from Aliashyrah.

Aliashyrah appears less confident.

The air shivers about Aliashyrah, glistening faintly before stilling to normalcy.

The very powerful look leaves Aliashyrah.

The white light leaves Aliashyrah.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Aliashyrah.

The air calms down around Aliashyrah.

Blades glances at Dendum.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting Missoni begins to falter, then completely fades away.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Lilanna says, speaking to ELLEREL, "I would speak with you privately if there is time."

Missoni takes a deep breath, blinking a couple of times before resuming a calm expression.

A series of viridian lines suddenly appears on Missoni's face, quickly racing towards the center of her forehead before detaching and dissipating in the air.

Lithyia shakes her head.

Lithyia slowly empties her lungs.

The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around Missoni.

"Kneel to Niima," Lithyia murmurs as she stows her rolaren dagger in her cognac leather wrist-sheath with a flash of luminescent ocean blue mist. A salty spray of ocean water lingers briefly in the air.

Darphin asks, speaking to Randsford, "Why are you alive?"

Lilanna nods at Darphin.

Randsford appears to be poking himself.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Darphin, "The same reason all of us are."

Sorlu glances between Darphin and Randsford.

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "Well me aproof wotnever yoo all deshide ta do, jush happy ta helpsh."

Gutstorm grunts happily, grinning.

Randsford says, speaking to Darphin, "Remains to be seen."

Queatus asks, "Y'all see that parchment on the desk?"

Sorlu says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Because Thaigol wished it."

Wolfloner asks, speaking to Talliver, "Is there such a thing as a deputy mayor?"

Sweat streaks down Tolene's face in salty rivulets.

Darphin nods at Aliashyrah.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Perigourd chuckles to himself.

You quietly whisper to Queatus, "Thank you for opening the door you saved him."

Elronae peers quizzically at Queatus.

The air stirs around you for a moment.

Gutstorm taps Wolfloner lightly on his shoulder.

Elronae says, "Parchement."

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Wolfloner, "Me invented dat term."

Wolfloner loses some awareness.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Missoni rubs at the joints of her bony fingers for several moments.

Falvicar ponders.

ELLEREL says, "I'll convey the news. And run to Dabbings Manor so they can prepare."

ELLEREL just went south.

Falvicar nods.

Missoni gazes south.

Lithyia says, "The old dead man can move quickly when he wants too."

Lithyia glances south.

Talliver tries to rise from his seat, but his legs shake and he sits once more.

Wolfloner says, "Uncorruptible sounds promising."

Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Why not jush teleport dere?"

Darphin says, "We should plan to figure out what is wrong with the mayor."

Falvicar removes a ruby-tipped pencil stickpin from in his silk-lined cloak.

Falvicar put a ruby-tipped pencil stickpin in his silk-lined cloak.

Darphin nods.

Falvicar removes a spiral-carved modwir walking stick with a filigree handle from in his silk-lined cloak.

You frown.

Missoni asks, speaking to Talliver, "Do you need a hand?"

Geijon pulls Talliver to his feet.

Falvicar offers Talliver a spiral-carved modwir walking stick with a filigree handle.

Talliver looks over at Falvicar and shakes his head.

Gutstorm grunts at Geijon in approval.

Falvicar says, speaking to Talliver, "You can borrow that if you want."

Missoni adds, "Because Sir Geijon is very capable."

Geijon chuckles.

Talliver says, speaking to Falvicar, "I shall go on my own power or I will sleep here tonight."

Olgretien deeply says, "We coud carry ya wherever ya like."

Olgretien smiles at Talliver.

Falvicar shrugs.

Geijon says, "I said I'd accompany him home."

Falvicar nods slowly.

Dendum says, "Someone drag the Talliver to real bed."

Geijon nods at Missoni.

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Geijon, "Goot job Squire, help da meek ish one our phlosphiesh."

Lilanna says, speaking to Talliver, "You will have an escort home."

Roelon nods once at Talliver.

Dendum says, "Has spent enough time on hard surface."

Missoni nods approvingly at Geijon.

Randsford says, speaking to Talliver, "You need guards."

Wolfloner smiles at Talliver.

Falvicar put a spiral-carved modwir walking stick with a filigree handle in his silk-lined cloak.

Randsford stares at Talliver.

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "We can take you to your office."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Talliver, "At least you did not lose your stubborness or pride in that cell. You will likely need both still."

Wolfloner nods at Randsford.

You nod.

Wolfloner says, "He does need guards."

Sorlu grins at Aliashyrah.

Queatus recites:

   "I hear your concerns and the Castellan's.  I believe the information provided by our eyes and ears in Northwatch.  Even so, matters are too precarious in the Archipelago to divert many of our forces at this time.  I will handle the protection of the prisoner personally, should the need arise."

Sorlu adopts an agreeable expression.

Chamorr heartily says, "Hes a haflin, we could prolly toss him home."

Queatus asks, "You all saw that?"

Missoni nods at Queatus.

Olgretien pokes Chamorr in the ribs.

Lithyia looks over at Queatus and shakes her head.

Roelon deeply says, "Capable guards."

Queatus nods.

The powerful look leaves Perigourd.

Perigourd begins to breathe less deeply.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting Perigourd begins to falter, then completely fades away.

Gutstorm grunts at Queatus and shakes his head.

Geijon looks over at Queatus and shakes his head.

Missoni says, speaking to Queatus, "On the jailer's desk, yes."

Roelon deeply says, "For what we are dealin' with."

Randsford says, speaking to Talliver, "We don't know what they planted in you, you need to be watched for many reasons until we know the threat has passed."

Wolfloner nods at Queatus.

Queatus nods at Missoni.

You peer quizzically at Queatus.

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Queatus says, "It was a note."

Darphin nods at Queatus.

Talliver says, "So. The tower."

Geijon asks, "Perhaps not a sent one?"

Perigourd turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Queatus says, speaking to you, "We were too busy saving Talliver."

Missoni gazes with interest at Talliver.

Queatus nods to you.

Wolfloner turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Falvicar nods slowly at Roelon.

Falvicar agrees with Roelon.

Olgretien asks, speaking deeply to Talliver, "Which one?"

Darphin turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Talliver says, "They dragged me to the top after I had been there a few weeks. It was after an especially brutal day and night with the Mularosian, Nettle."

Missoni no longer bristles with energy.

Olgretien works his fingers under his vultite greathelm and scratches his head.

Lithyia frowns.

Perigourd seems to lose some internal strength.

Sorlu nods understandingly at Talliver.

A pained expression crosses Lilanna's face.

The dim aura fades from around Missoni.

Olgretien furrows his brow.

Perigourd is no longer protected by the shimmering field of energy.

Missoni begins to breathe less deeply.

Perigourd appears somehow different.

A pained expression crosses Missoni's face.

Darphin says, speaking to Sorlu, "Nettle takes pride in their art."

The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around Perigourd.

Falvicar shrugs.

A white glow rushes away from Perigourd.

Roelon nods slowly.

Perigourd seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.

A subtle light fades from Perigourd's eyes.

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "It must have been particularly horrible for you."

Chamorr heartily says, "Ya know, Talliver was rescued, but this guy, Randsford, he came back all on his own."

Perigourd's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around his arms.

Gutstorm suspiciously grunts at Chamorr.

Perigourd seems slightly different.

Gutstorm drunkenly exclaims, "Yah!"

Queatus says, "So, the big question."

Geijon says, "Accusations only serve th' Coven's whim."

Randsford says, speaking to Chamorr, "Thaiagol released me once he had what he wanted."

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Chamorr, "Aye. Nae even he would keep him."

Queatus asks, "What's an Archipelago?"

Randsford shrugs at Chamorr.

Roelon glances at Randsford.

A shadow seems to detach itself from Perigourd's body, swiftly dissipating into the air.

Darphin says, speaking to Chamorr, "After handing over a decoy that it seems even ellene can tell is a decoy."

Roelon appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Perigourd seems to lose an aura of confidence.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Queatus, "Collection of islands, I believe."

Gutstorm says, speaking drunkenly to Queatus, "It like an island wit lotta shtuff on it."

Olgretien says, speaking deeply to Randsford, "He knew it wasn't THE orb."

Lithyia says, "A chain of islands."

Lithyia nods.

Wolfloner makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...

Wolfloner gestures.

Wolfloner appears to be keenly aware of his surroundings.

Falvicar nods at Olgretien.

Randsford scoffs at Roelon.

Your plumille houppelande bends inward for a brief moment.

Roelon ponders.

Darphin says, speaking to Talliver, "Please go on."

Lilanna nods at Olgretien.

Geijon agrees with Perigourd.

Randsford says, speaking to Olgretien, "Not at the moment but I am certain he will know soon enough."

Falvicar says, "The question is.. would the other FOUR know if it wasn't or not."

Falvicar shrugs.

The opalescent aura fades from around Perigourd.

Queatus asks, "So, that's where the Five's forces are?"

Aliashyrah slowly traces the length of her dark ora waist chain with her fingertip, following the contours of her body.

Jehance asks, speaking to Olgretien, "Perhaps he has "other" plans with the Coven and intends to use it?"

Queatus asks, "Where can we find one of those?"

Olgretien deeply says, "Oh, he knew. Elerell said it shown with magic."

Aliashyrah teases, speaking playfully to Queatus, "Usually in oceans and seas."

Lithyia begins chuckling at Aliashyrah!

Dendum starts chortling.

Queatus nods.

Lilanna nods at Olgretien.

Randsford says, "He had an alchemist bring me a mirror that allowed me to see into this very room. Was then I knew everyone was safe and I gave what they wanted before being returned."

Perigourd says, "He also said he didn't wish to see their forces wasted on it's pursuance."

Roelon deeply says, "More so, what will happen when he does."

Queatus says, "Ok, so we just gotta check the whole ocean."

Perigourd says, "Perhaps he just didn't wish to waste more time."

Olgretien agrees with Perigourd.

Randsford says, "They have eyes upon us."

Randsford shakes his head.

Gutstorm gazes heavenward.

Queatus asks, speaking to Elronae, "You got a ship, right?"

Lilanna says, "They always do."

Lithyia says, "They've had eyes upon us."

Randsford nods slowly at Lilanna.

Darphin says, speaking to Randsford, "I've told you as much."

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Elronae nods at Queatus.

Olgretien deeply says, "He gave kidnappin' a try, we said no. And dey don't want war...yet. So he had to return him."

Missoni turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Gutstorm drunkenly asks, "Like eyes eyes? or ye mean coven folk here?"

Gutstorm leans on Darphin.

Elronae asks, "You need people searching the ocean?"

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Perigourd takes a moment to observe Talliver.

Elronae peers quizzically at Queatus.

Talliver sighs.

Queatus grins.

Lilanna asks, speaking to Talliver, "Shall we get ye home?"

Talliver says, "When they brought me to the top of the tower, I was near to death."

Lithyia nods at Talliver.

Queatus says, "I think maybe we outta narrow it down a bit first."

Olgretien turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Queatus nods at Elronae.

Wolfloner asks, "Are we certain all of the Five are of similar minds and common goals?"

Missoni nods sympathetically.

Gutstorm drunkenly says, "He prolly need a tart to git him energy back, prolly not eatten in like an hour."

Gutstorm knowingly grunts.

The very powerful look leaves Dendum.

The white light leaves Dendum.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Dendum.

Dendum asks, speaking to Talliver, "Could see anything?"

Queatus asks, "You see any seabirds?"

Missoni mutters, speaking to Talliver, "Mularosians have that effect."

Talliver says, "I thought they were going to let me die, but I lay there in the cold and the rain while he watched."

Lilanna says, speaking to Gutstorm, "Too heavy."

Roelon nods at Falvicar.

Talliver says, "Xares, of Marlu."

Gutstorm is admiring Lilanna.

Roelon shifts his weight.

Sorlu nods sympathetically at Talliver.

Missoni cocks her head.

Perigourd nods slowly at Talliver.

Lilanna offers Talliver a wood bowl of ginger and leek soup poured over scallions.

Talliver hesitantly says, "And then I saw gold."

Talliver accepts Lilanna's ginger and leek soup.

Lithyia asks, "Gold?"

Talliver says, "Golden light, everywhere."

Lilanna peers quizzically at Talliver.

Talliver says, "Wings outstretched."

Draelor ponders.

The sound of the wind whistling comes from outside.

Sorlu raises an eyebrow.

Gutstorm put a surly dwarf jester doll in his jet spidersilk bag.

Two blue-speckled spiders with bright viridian eyes suddenly appear at the top of Gutstorm's jet spidersilk bag and seal it shut with thick webbing before disappearing back into the bag.

Talliver says, "Thaiagol said..."

Missoni cocks her head.

Wolfloner turns an inquisitive ear toward Talliver.

Aliashyrah studies Talliver, giving him an intense consideration.

Lilanna rummages through a snow leopard pelt tote with braided suede straps and removes a small gold-banded gavel engraved in elegant script.

Lilanna gently bops Gutstorm on the head with her gold-banded gavel.

Talliver says, "...said that they needed a hero's blood."

Gutstorm falls over.

Lilanna put a small gold-banded gavel engraved in elegant script in her leopard pelt tote.

Lilanna pulls the cords of her leopard pelt tote tight and slides its silvery mithril clasp up to cinch it closed.

Perigourd nods at Talliver.

Missoni nods.

Talliver weakly says, "Or the disir wouldn't come."

Talliver shudders.

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Randsford glances at Sorlu.

Queatus frowns.

Missoni furrows her brow.

Lilanna frowns at Talliver.

Colored light gathers in the runic lettering scrawled over Sorlu's seed charm as he turns it. You can see winged figures faintly illuminated beneath the stone.

Oddly enough, Dendum seems somewhat less buoyant.

Perigourd scratches at his beard.

Aliashyrah gazes with interest at Sorlu.

Talliver says, "Xares did something. Pulled her from the sky."

Missoni asks, speaking to Talliver, "They are expecting the aid of the disir?"

The dim aura fades from around you.

Your breathing becomes more shallow.

The dully illuminated mantle protecting you begins to falter, then completely fades away.

Falvicar whispers something to Roelon.

Roelon ponders.

Talliver says, "There were screams. And then I lost consciousness. Perhaps I died, but they brought me back."

Lilanna frowns at Talliver.

Perigourd says, "One would have thought enough disir had been corrupted by now."

Queatus slings his battle-scarred targe over his shoulder and onto some salt-stained netting on the back of his ghezyte-buckled bandolier.

Perigourd grunts.

Falvicar whispers something to Roelon.

Missoni lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Falvicar ponders.

A pale white aura dances across your plumille houppelande.

Falvicar nods at Roelon.

Talliver says, "I don't know what they did to her, or why they needed a disir. Or even why she came to me."

Sorlu frowns.

An awful rumbling emanates from Tolene's guts.

Tolene begins to look a little better.

Sorlu glances at Aliashyrah.

Geijon nods.

Sorlu whispers something to Aliashyrah.

Aliashyrah nods slowly at Sorlu.

Perigourd says, speaking to Talliver, "Obviously they found you a worthy soul."

Aliashyrah whispers something to Sorlu.

Perigourd nods slowly.

The dim celadon wisps about Missoni's hands flare up once more and fade completely away.

Missoni says, speaking to Perigourd, "The blood of a hero."

Wolfloner nods at Perigourd.

Perigourd says, speaking to Talliver, "And there is Dabbings blood in Cold River."

Lilanna nods.

Sorlu squints at Aliashyrah.

Falvicar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Missoni agrees with Perigourd.

Lithyia just opened a beaded bauble bag.

Lithyia removes a gilt-cornered jadewood coffin from in her bauble bag.

Missoni concernedly asks, "Tribia may know more?"

Lithyia tugs on each nail hammered into the coffin for a bit before pulling the lid back on its hinges amid loud creaking sounds.

Lithyia removes a small blood-filled sphere from in her jadewood coffin.

As Lithyia turns her blood-filled sphere, the sanguine fluid within stirs sluggishly.

Lithyia says, "Fascinating."

Sorlu nods once.

Randsford nods grimly at Roelon.

Perigourd says, "What they would use one for.. is beyond me though."

Perigourd grunts.

Lithyia says, "I'm...going ot hold on to this for now though Mayor... in case you arent really entirely... you."

Chamorr heartily says, "Confusin as hell."

Lithyia says, "No offense."

Sorlu glances at Perigourd.

Lithyia glances at Talliver.

Lithyia put a small blood-filled sphere in her jadewood coffin.

Lithyia gently closes the lid on a gilt-cornered jadewood coffin, which creaks loudly, and then pushes the tiny nails back into place with her thumb.

Lithyia put a gilt-cornered jadewood coffin in her bauble bag.

Lithyia just closed a beaded bauble bag.

Sorlu frowns.

Aliashyrah smirks at Sorlu.

Lilanna raises an eyebrow in Lithyia's direction.

Darphin removes a shallow beaker of blood from in his black leather jacket.

Lithyia whispers something to Lilanna.

Lilanna says, "I'd think more of him would help."

Darphin says, "We can all have a lil bit of the mayor with us, even if he isnt with himself."

Lithyia says, "I dont think he can.. use it the way it is..."

Darphin put a shallow beaker of blood in his black leather jacket.

Missoni furrows her brow.

Lithyia glances at her bauble bag.

Perigourd gets a blank look on his face.

Return
