''This Log is not cleaned up and partly broken up, and added as a supplemental addition to the main log.
Occupying most of the exterior wall, a large bay window rimed in hoarfrost at its corners offers an unobstructed view of the winter wonderland beyond its panes, while pendant lanterns dangling from the exposed-rafter ceiling create a soft glow throughout the space. Tables and mahogany chairs are scattered throughout the area, their mahogany bodies arranged in social circles upon amber and niveous area rugs. A long counter stands before an archway leading to the kitchen, its surface covered in enticing offerings. You also see a lilac-colored wicker tray propped on tall haon legs with some stuff on it.

Also here: High Lord Alastir


An obese drunken chinchilla suddenly peeks its head out from Maylan's witchwood case, sniffing the air before ducking back inside.
Obvious exits: out


A crimson-eyed shifting shadow points both spectral hands at Sefina!
High Lord Alastir just slogged out.


Sefina seems less resolute.
You gaze heavenward.


The elemental aura around Sefina wavers.
On the wicker tray:


Jaysehn carefully hangs his longsword from his swordbelt. It rattles against the crowbill hanging from it, and he carefully adjusts them.
Food/Drink [13]: a polished basalt thimble, a foliated glowbark thimble, a two-toned marble thimble, a flora-etched glass thimble, a rippled terrcotta thimble, a grey-dipped amber clay thimble, a glossy striated onyx thimble, a sample of rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone, a sample of crumble-covered cherry almond scone, a sample of cheddar-mixed shredded apple scone, a sample of sugar-dusted strawberry and vanilla cream scone, a sample of maple-glazed banana bread scone, a sample of blackberry-glazed lavender honey scone


Jaysehn grips his eahnor cresset sword with both hands.
Total items: 13


Jaysehn rushes a half-formed flickering figure, raising his eahnor cresset sword high to deliver a sound thrashing!
You help yourself to a sample of rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone.


[SMR result: 228 (Open d100: 41, Bonus: 18)]
You take a bite of your sweet potato scone. Crispy bits of bacon dot the interior of the sweet potato scone, the balance of sweetness and saltiness complemented by the woody addition of fresh rosemary.


Jaysehn brings his sword around in a tight arc to batter a half-formed flickering figure into submission!
You have one bite left.

You take a bite of your sweet potato scone. Crispy bits of bacon dot the interior of the sweet potato scone, the balance of sweetness and saltiness complemented by the woody addition of fresh rosemary.


... and hits for 194 points of damage!
That was the last of it!


The flickering figure's head is split cleanly in two, but reseals from the neck up!
You feel something trickling down the front of your throat.


Riotous Liabo-hued energy races along the surface of the sword, slender tendrils rising up to coalesce into the ethereal form of a hollow-eyed valravn.
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.


** Surrounded by a shroud of clinging shadows, a hollow-eyed ethereal valravn swoops down with an eerily echoing shriek as a murder of distorted Liabo-hued valravns lurch around it on a wave of disruption! **
A voice whispers pleadingly in your ear, breath warm, "Save us. You must not let this happen. Please, save us."


... 15 points of damage!
You gulp.


Quick strike connects with the flickering figure's lower back!
You quietly ask, "How can I help?"


Luckily there was nothing vital there.
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.


A turbulent cloud of Liabo-hued light lashes out from an ornate ebony eahnor cresset sword enveloped in holy white fire with an echoing shriek!
High Lord Alastir just slogged in.


Rage fills the figure's eyes as his body tenses up.
High Lord Alastir just slogged through an archway.


AS: +684 vs DS: +289 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +35 = +465
High Lord Alastir just slogged in.


... and hits for 175 points of damage!
High Lord Alastir just slogged out.


Strong assault amputates the leg at the knee.
The voice sounds very far away now, though you can barely make out the raspy whisper of, "Stop him... or... he'll...never cease."


It floats in the air a moment before drifting back into place!
You gaze heavenward.


You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the flickering figure's body and rises into the heavens.
An old memory bubbles up from your past, and causes you to reflect a moment. With a flash of insight, you realize you understand yourself a bit better than you did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-knowledge is a pleasant one.


The flickering figure slumps silently to the ground and begins to rapidly dissipate.
[uberbarv: ******** 24 EXP Gained this Pulse **(2023-10-26_17:05:09)]


A half-formed flickering figure seems to lose an aura of confidence.
You pick idly at some sleek selshis skin gloves with kelyn-reinforced knuckles.


A half-formed flickering figure seems to lose some dexterity.
You quietly say, "Got any suggestions little voice on how to stop him.."


A half-formed flickering figure returns to normal color.
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.


** Necrotic energy from Jaysehn's eahnor cresset sword flares up momentarily! **
You help yourself to a sample of rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone.


Jaysehn appears to gain succour from the unnatural energy!
You glance at a sample of rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone on a lilac-colored wicker tray propped on tall haon legs.


With a final, explosive breath, Jaysehn pulls his sword back to a ready position.
>look on counter


Ordim's face furrows in concentration as he stammers out a magical chant...
On the preparation counter you see a soapstone wash basin, a rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone, a crumble-covered cherry almond scone, a cheddar-mixed shredded apple scone mixed with dried sage, a sugar-dusted strawberry and vanilla cream scone, a maple-glazed banana bread scone and a blackberry-glazed lavender honey scone.


Ordim gestures at a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
You put a sample of rosemary-sprinkled sweet potato scone in your white bearskin coat.


A wave of dark ethereal ripples moves outward from Ordim.
You see nothing unusual.


With a broad flourish, Teveriel sweeps his vaalorn warblade into a whirling display of keen-edged menace!
This is an enhanced wash basin that can be manipulated with CLEAN, PUSH, TAP, and TICKLE.


[SMR result: 271 (Open d100: 107, Bonus: 43)]
Dipping your fingers into the wash basin, you vigorously scrub your hands in the warm water.


Teveriel's blade licks out at a crimson-eyed shifting shadow in a blurred arc!
You collect a glass from those arranged nearby and push it through the collected water within a soapstone wash basin.


AS: +629 vs DS: +417 with AvD: +37 + d100 roll: +5 = +254
You take a drink from your cool and clean water.


... and hits for 133 points of damage!
You have 5 quaffs left.


Amazing shot cleaves the torso in half at the waist!
>go arch


You watch agape as the misty form knits itself back together!
[Nightfire Brews - 33958] (u8084811)


** Teveriel's vaalorn warblade bursts alight with leaping tongues of holy fire! **
Occupying most of the exterior wall, a large bay window rimed in hoarfrost at its corners offers an unobstructed view of the winter wonderland beyond its panes, while pendant lanterns dangling from the exposed-rafter ceiling create a soft glow throughout the space. Tables and mahogany chairs are scattered throughout the area, their mahogany bodies arranged in social circles upon amber and niveous area rugs. A long counter stands before an archway leading to the kitchen, its surface covered in enticing offerings. You also see a lilac-colored wicker tray propped on tall haon legs with some stuff on it.


Consumed by the hallowed flames, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow is ravaged for 73 points of damage!
Obvious exits: out


... 20 points of damage!
>peer window


You gaze through the bay window and see...
Strike swipes cleanly through the abdomen, but seals up a moment later!


Teveriel's blade licks out at a distorted phantasmal draugr in a blurred arc!
[Winterbriar Way - 33958] (u8084811)


AS: +629 vs DS: +402 with AvD: +39 + d100 roll: +13 = +279
Snow lightly dusts the cobblestone path winding between bare-branched fruit trees and a smattering of fragrant cedars. Down a twisting pathway are several buildings, small icicles glittering off their eaves. To the south rests a large lake surrounded by buildings, a trellis of ice-veiled roses arching over the southwesterly path leading to it.


... and hits for 128 points of damage!
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest


Incredible strike to the phantasmal draugr's back smashes through the chest!
=To the Manor=
[Winterbriar Way - 31879] (u8083071)


Too bad it melts back together.
Snow lightly dusts the cobblestone path winding between bare-branched fruit trees and a smattering of fragrant cedars. Down a twisting pathway are several buildings, small icicles glittering off their eaves. To the south rests a large lake surrounded by buildings, a trellis of ice-veiled roses arching over the southwesterly path leading to it.


** Necrotic energy from Teveriel's vaalorn warblade flares up momentarily! **

Teveriel appears to gain succour from the unnatural energy!
[go2]>northeast


Teveriel remains watchful and ready to move.
[Winterbriar Orchard - 31859] (u8083070)


Jaysehn switches to a one-handed grip on his eahnor cresset sword.
Dark green hedges with rime-touched briars grow tall and thick, separating the area from the town beyond, and dozens of fruit trees grow in perfectly neat rows along one side of a wide cobblestone path. Across the path, several cozy homes are scattered across a tree-strewn meadow and tucked amidst the edge of the hedges. Several smaller walkways lead off the main path to more distant structures, and the main path forks widely, offering a choice between southeasterly and southwesterly. You also see a plump bright orange jack-o'-lantern, a rimed lilac tree tunnel and a shambling pumpkin-headed snowman.


As Missoni summons the elements to her command, her outstretched fingertips spark and hiss with sickly green energy.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest


Missoni gestures at a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.

[Winterbriar Grove - 31860] (u8083072)


Warding failed!
Unnaturally dark fruit trees reach crooked branches to the sky, forming the outer rim of a dense grove of spiky, ice-covered trees that crowds the rough cobblestone pathway cutting through it. Several riverstone structures fight for space between the grasping, twisting trees, and moonlight casts sinister shadows across the stone walls. A light dusting of snow covers the southernmost trees. You also see a wandering ghoul.


... and hits for 21 points of damage!
Obvious paths: southeast, northwest


You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the shifting shadow's body and rises into the heavens.
[go2]>southeast


The shifting shadow slumps silently to the ground, his red eyes fading to grey.
[Icebriar Lake, Oblivion Lane - 31861] (u8083077)


The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
Snow blankets the ground, almost obscuring the cobblestone path wending its way through the area. Several almost identical houses overlook a large lake, and crimson-tipped spikes of ice bristle en masse to block all access to its frozen expanse. Set farther back, dark vines drape over numerous smaller structures and wind around snowmen looming in the shadows.


The brilliant luminescence fades from around a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
Obvious paths: southeast, west, northwest


The bright luminescence fades from around a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
[go2]>southeast


Jaysehn deftly removes the nacreous longsword from his swordbelt.
[Icebriar Lake, Winter's Edge - 31868] (u8083079)


With a broad flourish, Jaysehn weaves his eahnor cresset sword and nacreous longsword into a whirling display of coordination and menace!
Barely visible behind large drifts of cold-hardened snow, a frozen lake glitters in the ambient light. A large riverstone manor sits on a small rise, surrounded by several outbuildings, and the cobblestone path ends abruptly at a foreboding thicket of trees and briars. Several twisting trails lead behind the manor to additional buildings. You also see a large smithy.


[SMR result: 410 (Open d100: 148, Bonus: 34)]

Striking high and low, Jaysehn sweeps his blades at a distorted phantasmal draugr!

[Yvalyst Manor, Foyer - 33983] (u8089002)


... and hits for 117 points of damage!
A chandelier of jagged crystal hangs along the high beams of the foyer, the shards casting shadows across the expansive travertine floor leading to the gargoyle-set fireplace dominating the portrait-laden side wall. Iron-railed staircases frame a marble statue at the center of the room, the figure obscuring the long hallway branching off into the interior of the manor. Brittle veils of webbing cover the vases arranged along the perimeter, the decaying flowers drooping down towards the uneven carpet.


Attack whistles right through the chest!
Obvious exits: out


It's like fighting fog!
[go2]>go hallway


Riotous Liabo-hued energy races along the surface of the sword, slender tendrils rising up to coalesce into the ethereal form of a hollow-eyed valravn.
As you approach the hallway, a black-clad butler steps towards you, leading you down the long corridor.


** Surrounded by a shroud of clinging shadows, a hollow-eyed ethereal valravn swoops down with an eerily echoing shriek as a murder of distorted Liabo-hued valravns lurch around it on a wave of disruption! **


... 20 points of damage!


Powerful hit to the phantasmal draugr's neck leaves trails of vapor in its wake!
You walk by several closed doors, the handles covered in a fine coating of dust, the doorframes suspending brittle garlands of webbing.


A turbulent cloud of Liabo-hued light lashes out from an ornate ebony eahnor cresset sword enveloped in holy white fire with an echoing shriek!


Rage fills the draugr's eyes as her body tenses up.


AS: +651 vs DS: +335 with AvD: +41 + d100 roll: +20 = +377
You finally arrive at the end of the hallway, the butler indicating the various wings as he takes a bow, walking back through the passageway for his next escort.


... and hits for 109 points of damage!
[Yvalyst Manor, Grand Hallway - 33984] (u8089003)


Right arm ripped in half at elbow!
Iron-caged sconces frame the vast hallway, the fractured glass illuminating the bloodwood frames lining the brocaded walls in patches of light as the passage branches off into separate wings. Narrow console tables of lacquer-covered mahogany are interspersed along the passageway, the heavily notched surfaces covered in ribbon-bound bouquets of dried tulips, the flora's colors long faded. Sanguine-dyed wool covers the parquetry floor along the corridor, the woven carpets subtly unraveling.


The fallen arm evaporates as a new one materializes.
Obvious exits: none


You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the phantasmal draugr's body and rises into the heavens.
[go2]>go doors


The phantasmal draugr slumps to the ground, exhales a sigh of relief, and begins to quickly decay away.
You approach the bloodwood doors, stopping for a moment as they open. You step through and a page announces, "Mistress Opalina has arrived." He bows formally before walking back through the doors, closing them as he exits.


Jaysehn remains watchful and ready to move.
[Yvalyst Manor, Ballroom - 33986] (u8089005)


Tabubu cocks her head.
Sprigs of alyssum and amaranth are hand-painted across the parquetry dance floor, the sanguine and ivory-colored flora traced in splatters of gilded ink across the sweeping ballroom. Pallid marble fountains spray water between the potted dark-colored foliage, the chilling mist clinging to the velvet-curtained windows, leaving the stained glass covered in rivulets of condensation. Chiseled marble busts flank the various thresholds, each profile covered in a veil of aged, discolored lace. You also see a wrought-silver arch and a set of garland-framed bloodwood doors.


>look
Obvious exits: none


[Yvalyst Manor, Garden - 33989] (u8089014)
You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.


Tall, brittle grass encircles a dozen toparies, their androgynous forms left in disarray along the fairy ring of dirt and loose rock. A contorted wall of overgrown briars forms the boundaries of the garden, the uneven hedges leaning precariously inwards, the sharp thorns threatening to engulf the garden beds. A trio of empty birdbaths sit tangled in vines in the back of the garden, filled with loose feathers intermingled with clumps of dirt. You also see a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a pair of headless bodies, an imposing figure, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a large pentacle centered within the briar-bound garden with a rune-incised obsidian basin on it.

[Yvalyst Manor, Ballroom Alcove - 33990] (u8089015)


Obvious paths: none
Silver and iron twist artistically between panes of glaesineth, enclosing the entire alcove in glass. Starlight sparkles through the green-tinged panes, casting eerie shadows across the roses and violets hand-painted along the intricate parquetry floor. Several candelabra are positioned about the outer walls, the light from their ghost white and blood red tapers casting dim illumination throughout the area. You also see a wrought-silver arch.


Tiny sparks of eerie green light suddenly blink into existence above you, whirling around and coalescing into a half-formed flickering figure!
Obvious exits: none


A mournful wail carries through the area as a distorted phantasmal draugr fades into view!

You hear the sound of a thousand voices wailing discordantly as a crimson-eyed shifting shadow floats in!
[Yvalyst Manor, Ballroom - 33986] (u8089005)


Uniana summons a torrent of elemental mana and releases upon herself a flurry of abjurations.
Sprigs of alyssum and amaranth are hand-painted across the parquetry dance floor, the sanguine and ivory-colored flora traced in splatters of gilded ink across the sweeping ballroom. Pallid marble fountains spray water between the potted dark-colored foliage, the chilling mist clinging to the velvet-curtained windows, leaving the stained glass covered in rivulets of condensation. Chiseled marble busts flank the various thresholds, each profile covered in a veil of aged, discolored lace. You also see a wrought-silver arch and a set of garland-framed bloodwood doors.

>go hall


... 65 points of damage!
As you go down the long hallway, the iron-caged sconces flicker briefly, plunging you into darkness between bursts of bright light.


Huge hit explodes left arm into cold, viscous mist.
The black-clad butler emerges from the shadows, raising his small lantern as he leads you back to the foyer.


When you look again, the arm has reformed.
[Yvalyst Manor, Foyer - 33983] (u8089002)


Gesturing effortlessly, Meliyara casually invokes the elements to do her bidding.
A chandelier of jagged crystal hangs along the high beams of the foyer, the shards casting shadows across the expansive travertine floor leading to the gargoyle-set fireplace dominating the portrait-laden side wall. Iron-railed staircases frame a marble statue at the center of the room, the figure obscuring the long hallway branching off into the interior of the manor. Brittle veils of webbing cover the vases arranged along the perimeter, the decaying flowers drooping down towards the uneven carpet.


Meliyara gestures at a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
Obvious exits: out


** Meliyara's ethereal runestaff glows brightly for a moment, consuming the magical energies around the shifting shadow! **
>go stair


A crimson-eyed shifting shadow blinks and looks around in confusion for a moment.
You begin to ascend the iron-railed staircase, climbing upwards as you encircle the marble statue on the travertine floor. A faint shadow passes across the statue's visage as you pass, sinking into the marble as you reach the second floor.


The silvery luminescence fades from around a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
[Yvalyst Manor, Upstairs Hallway - ] (u8089007)


The elemental aura around a crimson-eyed shifting shadow wavers.
Mahogany-framed portraits enclose the ivory-on-white brocade walls, the canvases marred by clawlike marks raked across the surface, leaving the subjects' visages indiscernible. Iron-wrought candlesticks hold yellowed stubs of wax, the trails of ash scattered along the braided runner draped over the console table. A raised pattern of red amaranth is woven into the pale carpentry, the thin threads unraveling as they traverse towards a trio of wood-crafted entryways. You also see a duo of iron-railed staircases.


Particles of dust and soot rise from the ground at Meliyara's feet as she releases a pulsating, platinum ripple of energy toward a crimson-eyed shifting shadow!
Obvious exits: north

The shifting shadow is cloaked in a blinding platinum light and assailed for 124 points of damage!
[Yvalyst Manor, Upstairs Hallway - ] (u8089008)


You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the shifting shadow's body and rises into the heavens.
A myriad of stuffed quarries are affixed to the brocaded walls, their glass eyes gazing down from their petrified wood perches extending lengthwise above a wide bloodwood door. Charcoal sketches are set beneath each mounted animal, encased in panes of glass and fitted with riveted metal plaques. A solitary claw-footed bench stands against the right wall, its vivid scarlet cushion torn to reveal scraps of aged down.


The shifting shadow slumps silently to the ground, her red eyes fading to grey.
Obvious exits: south


The brilliant luminescence fades from around a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
>look sketch


The tingling sensation and sense of security leaves a crimson-eyed shifting shadow.
The edges of the faded parchment are torn and ragged, as though the piece was removed from a sketchbook or volume. Depicted in intricate detail are the anatomical drawings of several species of fauna, each hoof, antler, and claw labeled in scarlet-colored ink. Thick stripes of sanguine cover the surface of the drawings, bleeding down upon the bench.


Tiny sparks of eerie green light suddenly blink into existence above you, whirling around and coalescing into a half-formed flickering figure!

Sefina says, "Er."
You walk over to the red velvet bench, turning around to face the room as your eye is drawn towards the charcoal-drawn sketches. You sit down as the stuffed creatures hang above you, shadowing your visage.

A crimson-eyed shifting shadow's exterior hardens for a moment and softens the attack!
Iron-caged sconces frame the vast hallway, the fractured glass illuminating the bloodwood frames lining the brocaded walls in patches of light as the passage branches off into separate wings. Narrow console tables of lacquer-covered mahogany are interspersed along the passageway, the heavily notched surfaces covered in ribbon-bound bouquets of dried tulips, the flora's colors long faded.

[Yvalyst Manor, Dining Room - 33985] (u8089004)


Cloudy tendrils writhe throughout the shadow's form, ravaging him for 69 points of damage!

Due to the sparkling blue mask she wears, it is difficult to determine her race...or even whether she is living or dead.


Warding failed!
She is quite short for one of elven heritage. Her features are hidden beneath a sparkling blue mask with rose pink blush, though her large lagoon opal-hued eyes shine through. She has winter rose-dotted, curly deep auburn hair delicately rolled into an off-center chignon that leaves a few feathery tendrils to trail in front of her ears and down the nape of her neck. Little else about her appearance is easy to distinguish.


... and hits for 61 points of damage!
She has a niveous-inked fall of tiny snowflakes on her ear, a ring of red roses tattoo on her waist, a teacup-cradled clockwork mouse tattoo on her leg, a set of silver rings with tiny dangling crystalline snowflakes in the upper ridge of her left ear, a petite faceted ruby arrow in the upper ridge of her right ear, and a tiny flawless diamond stud in her right nostril.

Flames from the very bowels of the world's core erupt to consume a distorted phantasmal draugr!
She is wearing a crimson eahnor-plated pack with a tiny metal lever, a black raven-shaped paper bag, a glacial blue steel crown with icicle-shaped crystal spikes, a sparkling blue mask with rose pink blush, a silver belled choker, a silvery white bearskin coat lined with ermine, a twinned double winter rose, a wide brass spiral etched with rolling waves, a folded ebonwood chair slung over her shoulder, a sleeveless wrap-around plumille houppelande with pleated elesine-edged split skirts, a cape-sleeved aureate batiste cotehardie veiled in a fall of ice stone-swept elesine with an ebon lace corset visibly boned along the contours of the hips underneath, a lambskin-lined balenite armband forged into a series of breaking waves, a delicate vaalin wristchain centered with a small ruby charm, a silver-framed bracelet inset with skyglass panels, some sleek selshis skin gloves with kelyn-reinforced knuckles, a filigreed eonake wedding band with a nightscape motif, an abyssal black vaalin ring inset with a scarlet veniom spinner, an urglaes thumb-ring, a leather kit stitched with tiny shimmering tart-shaped patches, a vintage walnut basket ornately hand-painted with fiery copper tarts on the doors, a mosaic-inlaid copper key strung from braided rawhide cords, a timeworn elesine sack enhanced with bearpaw sewn-on pockets, some cable-knit niveous qiviut stockings, some fur-lined boots toe-capped with balenite bear claws, and an enameled orange pumpkin pin.

Heavily layered curtains of scarlet-colored velvet block the arched windows in the room, the faint slices of moonlight cutting across the four post bed, the poles carved in sprigs of alyssum. A worn dark leather chair sits in the far corner of the bedroom, the oxblood-colored hide branded with a monogrammed letter "A". Mounted upon the nearby wall is a tall rectangular mirror, the surface covered in a veil of dust and cobwebs, the particles drifting across a trunk set behind the furniture. You also see an ivory-washed wooden door.

Mahogany-framed portraits enclose the ivory-on-white brocade walls, the canvases marred by clawlike marks raked across the surface, leaving the subjects' visages indiscernible. Iron-wrought candlesticks hold yellowed stubs of wax, the trails of ash scattered along the braided runner draped over the console table. A raised pattern of red amaranth is woven into the pale carpentry, the thin threads unraveling as they traverse towards a trio of wood-crafted entryways. You also see a duo of iron-railed staircases.

With a faint flicker, the black-streaked white radiance fades away.
A myriad of stuffed quarries are affixed to the brocaded walls, their glass eyes gazing down from their petrified wood perches extending lengthwise above a wide bloodwood door. Charcoal sketches are set beneath each mounted animal, encased in panes of glass and fitted with riveted metal plaques. A solitary claw-footed bench stands against the right wall, its vivid scarlet cushion torn to reveal scraps of aged down.

He is very tall. His features are hidden beneath a featureless mask cut from smoothed bone, though his almond-shaped coffee-hued eyes shine through.

He is wearing a night-dark devore velvet robe burned in runic symbols along the lapels, a thin lariat necklace trailing bone-carved amaranth down the center of the chest, a back-laced matte onyx cincher over a lustrous ebon chest wrap of overlapping silk, a pair of loose stygian trousers bound tightly around the calves, and some midnight-hued linen footwraps.

You're now no longer aiming at anything in particular.
Lylia hisses, "Idiot. Call yourself a queen, queen of filth, queen of a festering garbage pile, look what you have done..."


You are now in an offensive stance.
(Missoni quickly attempts to secure the protective circle of salt, guiding it with the tip of her staff.)


Flicking her a wrist, Tabubu closes her su'chao silk fan and attaches it to her belt by the loop on the end of its handle.

Ordim takes a few steps away from a large pentacle centered within the briar-bound garden.


Lylia gestures at a distorted phantasmal draugr.
Samyrha looks terrified, glancing about the crowd and back to Akrath.


The draugr's eyes grow wide as she watches Lylia's gestures! Suddenly she makes hurried movements as she recognizes that she is about to be attacked by magic!
Agathilea slides her mithril handaxe in her leather thigh-sheath without a sound.


The draugr raises her hand to protect herself and a bright green glow surrounds her!

Tabubu asks, speaking quietly to you, "You had heart, but for what?"

You hear a sound like a child weeping as a white glow separates itself from the phantasmal draugr's body and rises into the heavens.

<font color="#4A0404">The man strides over to Samyrha. "Ah, blood of the wife, it is a pity you must die. You would have made an excellent next bride."

A strong blow bursts the right calf open in a spray of vapor.
>look jaysehn


New muscle erupts from the middle of the wound, consuming the injured tissue.
You see Commodore Jaysehn Ranshai the Exarch of the Ebon Blade.


Jaysehn draws an intricately glowing pattern in the air before him.
Due to the ivory mask he wears, it is difficult to determine his race...or even whether he is living or dead.


[SSR result: 223 (Open d100: 63)]
He is taller than average. His features are hidden beneath a featureless ivory mask, though his calculating steel grey eyes shine through. He has shoulder-shorn, dense tawny hair swept back from cheek-grazing strands into a small, neat ponytail. Little else about his appearance is easy to distinguish.


A half-formed flickering figure lets out a blood curdling scream!
Superimposed over Jaysehn's form is the ghostly silhouette of a Tehir warrior, a somber expression on his face. As you watch, he raises a ghostly hand to the wrapped scarf covering his features, adjusting it to fit.

A half-formed flickering figure fades into oblivion.
She is tall. Her age is indeterminate due to the haunted visage that wreathes her being in a perpetually harrowed state of existence. She has long-lashed vivid sea green eyes and necrosis-wreathed soft, mahogany-hued skin. She has hip-length, unraveled blue-black hair left to frame her body in a tangle of dirt-matted tendrils, the metallic pigments dulled across the bloodstained strands. Ravaged and gaunt, there is a hungry countenance to her.


Ekros removes an enruned vaalorn lance from in his stone grey pack.
She has flourishes of hyacinthine ink swept across her bruised shoulder blades, the flora sliced by numerous thin cuts and scratches.

A contorted wall of overgrown briars forms the boundaries of the garden, the uneven hedges leaning precariously inwards, the sharp thorns threatening to engulf the garden beds. A trio of empty birdbaths sit tangled in vines in the back of the garden, filled with loose feathers intermingled with clumps of dirt. You also see a crystal-edged twilight blue everine, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a pair of headless bodies, an imposing figure, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a large pentacle centered within the briar-bound garden with a rune-incised obsidian basin on it.

Tall, brittle grass encircles a dozen toparies, their androgynous forms left in disarray along the fairy ring of dirt and loose rock.

[Garden of Shadows - 31872] (u8083085)


A half-formed flickering figure fades into oblivion.
Several stone buildings are set within the cultivated grounds of a large garden with trails wending this way and that off the main pathway. Tall trees entwined with brambles and vines outline the area, the canopy overhead dense enough to cast deep shadows while still allowing just enough light for the garden to thrive. Blue-black rosebushes climb trellises amidst ivory moonflowers, while pale pink jasmine blossoms near evening primrose, all seemingly unaffected by the chill air and massive snow drifts all around.

Sefina is buffeted by the dark ethereal waves, and is knocked to the ground.
A ring of fragrant, snow-covered cedars holds the rest of the woods at bay, forming a large glade with a path leading deep into the southerly woods. Iceblossoms, vibrant winterberries, and bright yellow aconite brighten the area, and snow blankets a merry-go-round in the middle of the glade. A few buildings can be reached through neatly cleared paths in the snow.

Missoni exhales a virulent green mist toward a half-formed flickering figure, instantly infecting him. The flickering figure convulses violently!
Several structures lurk between towering trees, snowbanks, and dense thorny bushes. Briared vines twist between the tree tops, helping pull them together in a wide arch over the pathway, virtually blocking the sky from view. The faint burbling of water drifts in from the east, and tiny, magically lit baubles are strung along the main path and icy offshoots into the woods beyond.

The raw elemental energy surrounding Ordim takes on a watery look.
Dark roots shatter a cobblestone pathway running through a dark briar arch, and thick ice coats everything except a shadowed, windy path running east to west surrounded by dense trees and briars that arch overhead, nearly blocking the sky. Tucked between vine-wrapped oak, ash, and rowan are several smaller buildings, and narrow trails wander off the main path, disappearing in snow drifts, looming trees, and thorny bushes.

The force of Maylan's power warps the air as it surges toward a crimson-eyed shifting shadow!
Warped boards, dark with water stains and mottled with off-white acorn barnacles, form the walls of the small shop, which vaguely resembles a ship's bunk room. Tangle clumps of seaweed, rotted and foul, dangle in long ribbons from the ceiling, while eerily glowing glass orbs rest within fishing net and provide illumination for the space. Open chests and trunks are bolted to the uneven floor and are filled with reclaimed wares.

Maylan's eyes flicker with veins of brilliant green as her muscles ripple noticeably, straining beneath her visible skin.
Carved jack-o'-lanterns flicker with an eerie yellow-green light in a semicircle along the circumference of the short, battered wooden interior walls of this tiny hut. Shadows dance across the remnants of a stained wooden workbench and a gouged patchwork table in the center of the space, clearly abandoned long ago. Indiscernible whispers echo throughout the hut, or maybe it is just a passing wind forcing its way through the gaps in its thatched roof.

Several lake houses cluster near the snow-covered banks of Icebriar Lake, while others nestle between clusters of trees set to the other side of the cobblestone path that winds along the length of the lake. Several snowmen loom atop large drifts of snow, many wielding weapons where stick hands would normally be found. While most of the lake's shore is inaccessible, a single icy bank appears relatively safe, albeit guarded by a squat snowman with a claidhmore.

Several smaller walkways lead off the main path to more distant structures, and the main path forks widely, offering a choice between southeasterly and southwesterly.

Glistening in the perpetual twilight, large cobblestone pavers stretch across the cramped streets from the edges of gabled buildings to the bowing bridge. Lampposts wreathed in verdigris copper hold frosted globes aloft, the dim light spilling from them painting the area in a sheen of violet while doing nothing to dispel the shadows of a twining pathway. Double doors provide entry to a thatch-roofed building, a wooden sign in wrought iron scrollwork above, that is connected to a smaller structure by a moss-covered lancet stone archway.

A half-formed flickering figure returns to normal color.
A brass bell gleams atop a polished ebony desk across from a set of paned-glass doors, the streaming sunlight illuminating the dust motes dancing above merlot-hued carpets running the length of the dark-stained wooden floors. Behind the desk, numerous keys hang in a wooden rack labeled with numbered brass plates above slots filled with addressed envelopes.

Tall, brittle grass encircles a dozen toparies, their androgynous forms left in disarray along the fairy ring of dirt and loose rock. A contorted wall of overgrown briars forms the boundaries of the garden, the uneven hedges leaning precariously inwards, the sharp thorns threatening to engulf the garden beds. A trio of empty birdbaths sit tangled in vines in the back of the garden, filled with loose feathers intermingled with clumps of dirt. You also see a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a pair of headless bodies, an imposing figure, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a large pentacle centered within the briar-bound garden with a rune-incised obsidian basin on it.

[Yvalyst Manor, Garden - 33989] (u8089014)

Tall, brittle grass encircles a dozen toparies, their androgynous forms left in disarray along the fairy ring of dirt and loose rock. A contorted wall of overgrown briars forms the boundaries of the garden, the uneven hedges leaning precariously inwards, the sharp thorns threatening to engulf the garden beds. A trio of empty birdbaths sit tangled in vines in the back of the garden, filled with loose feathers intermingled with clumps of dirt. You also see a rutilated rainbow crystal, an eerie crimson mist, an acid-pitted gold coffer, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a half-formed flickering figure that appears dead, a crimson-eyed shifting shadow that appears dead, a distorted phantasmal draugr that appears dead, a pair of headless bodies, an imposing figure, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a large pentacle centered within the briar-bound garden with a rune-incised obsidian basin on it.
