Perigourd says, "Indeed."

Gutstorm gently bops Talliver on the head with his gold-banded gavel.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Talliver, "The ground is especially unstable this evening. It is probably good we will not be on it much longer."

Gutstorm cackles!

Roelon nods once.

Dwi says, speaking quietly in Dwarven to Gutstorm, something you don't understand.

Valir asks, "Any healing please?"

High above, a small speck begins to grow, after several moments it becomes apparent that some large object is speeding down!  A local townswoman who has also seen this runs away yelling, "THE SKY IS FALLING!" just as a massive gelatinous lump of flesh lands on the ground, splattering the surroundings with globs of gore.

Bakarus grins at Zeminar.

Dwi smirks.

Kataric says, "Hmm."

Valir says, "Im half eaten."

With a flick of her wrist and a near-silent whisper invoking fire and ash, Raelee's lor staff vanishes from her leather staff sling in a sinuous helix of white flames, only to rematerialize in her hands!

Svardin glances up.

Helnora glances down.

Tayler laughs!

Leafiara hums a cheerful tune!  Pure white and bold red mana wisps dance about her like wind-borne leaves, then pulse brightly as she sings a sylvan phrase in a strong, clear voice.

Leafiara gestures at Kaetis.

A luminescent web briefly forms around Kaetis, then fades into the body.

Kelfyr casually tosses a single arrow shaft into a blued steel wastebin.

Roelon glances at Kaetis.

Gutstorm grunts gleefully, rubbing his hands together!

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 wearing an old silver locket, a high-collared dark blue doublet with carved ivory mule buttons, a stout white wool shirt, a forged silver signet ring, a curved hoarbeam scabbard set with a shining blue sapphire fang, some dark grey combed wool trousers, and a pair of polished black leather boots.

With a click and a loud *WHOOSH*, a torrent of water hurtles out of the cannon directly at him!  The spray hits Svardin right in the head with a loud *SPLAT*, knocking him backwards to land comically on his rear!

You feel a small nudge on your cheek from the pearl white lizard.  The first head-butt is soon repeated by a second, and then a third when you don't immediately stop what you are doing and pay attention to the lizard.  Finally, just as you're about to turn your head to find out what the creature wants, you feel a sharp stab of pain on your ear.  It bit you!

As you stare at the pearl white lizard in annoyance, ready to give the lizard a thorough scolding, it looks up at you with an innocent expression and makes a silly-looking little grin of sorts.  You mutter, but just can't seem to find anything stronger to say to it.

Kataric's faewood scepter vanishes into the depths of his grey cire raincoat.  As it leaves his hands, the illumination of its sigils slowly ebbs away.

Dwi cackles!

Kataric removes a thick frosted glass mug from in his silk wizard's hat.

As you pet your pearl white lizard, the little creature nuzzles your hand in response.

Perigourd asks, speaking to Talliver, "Will Captain Brashton be piloting it or have you found the Wyrm it's own Captain?"

As you stroke your pearl white lizard, its eyes slowly close and it drifts off to sleep.

Jet black tendrils begin to snake and coil around Dwi's dwarven waraxe, nearly attaching itself to her wrist just before she releases her waraxe.

Aliashyrah joins Talliver's group.

Talliver says, "All right, then."

Talliver's group just went south.

[Icemule Trace, South Road - 2302] (u4042229)

A silvery sheen from something up north catches your eye over the heads of the crowds.  No matter the time of day or night, this stretch of road always seems busy.  A young halfling girl, dressed in the livery of the Silvermule Gaming Hall, rushes past you to deliver a message.  You also see a twisted stone doorframe.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Dey got porckapine meat in Glaoveln?"

Talliver's group just went south.

[Icemule Trace, South Road - 2409] (u4042228)

A narrow house juts into the street, as though pushed off its foundation by the expanding gaming hall to the southwest.  You step carefully along the cobblestones and try not to glance into the open window at street level.  You also see a colorful canvas pavilion.

[Icemule Trace, South Road - 2410] (u4042227)

The hoarse voices from the west are hard to understand.  Either they are happy cries or anguished moans, or perhaps both.  A group of enterprising youths approach you and ask for silvers, but continue along the road without pausing for your response.  You also see a stone cottage.

[Icemule Trace, South Road - 2411] (u4042226)

Various halfling vendors hawking their wares block your way for a moment.  You notice a number of giantmen and dwarves heading north, coins jingling in their pockets.  A twisted, wrought iron street lamp at the corner keeps an inebriated halfling from meeting the pavement.  You also see a huge wooden crate and a path leading to a white modwir gate.

That was the last of it!

Dendum says, "Ahhh have not seen the Wyrm since the crew had disagreement about who was captain."

A sharp blue line traces its way through the air before you into the shape of a doorway, which opens to reveal a starlit blackness as vast and endless as the midnight sky.

Tayler says, speaking to Gutstorm, "Porcupines aren't delicious."

Alastir steps out of the starlit doorway.

A pulse of intense blue light overwhelms the starlit doorway.  When the light recedes, the doorway is simply no longer there.

Leafiara gazes in amusement at her surroundings.

Alastir joins Talliver's group.

Erquah just arrived.

Erquah just went north.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me shtannin amungsh giantsh."

Talliver's group just went south.

[Icemule Trace, South Road - 2412] (u4042225)

Several groups of adventurers jostle past you on their way through the South Gate.  The sounds of laughter from the west remind you of the inns and taverns back home.  You notice that the lowest part of the wall is darker stone than the top, a sign that this fortification was raised at some point in the past.  You also see a black-footed golden brown coyote, the South Gate and an old beer barrel.

Draelor asks, speaking to Dendum, "When you borrowed it?"

Talliver's group just went through the South Gate.

[South Barbican, Gate - 2486] (u4050101)

Under the massive barbican is a shadowy passageway, with sturdy stone walls on each side and overhead.  Iron-barred windows provide access to this area from each of the barbican towers as well as from overhead, creating the distinct impression that someone is watching from the shadows.  The sharp spikes of raised portcullises jut from the ceiling at the northern entrance to the city and the southern exit to the wilds.

Eofora asks, speaking softly to a pure white samoyed, "Ever fly afore?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We dere already?"

Darklin just arrived.

Darklin just went south.

You look at Bilfords and shake your head.

You see Bilfords Truemount the Healer.

He appears to be a Paradis Halfling.

He is average height.  He appears to be youthful.  He has bright crystal green eyes and freckled skin.  He has raggedly cut, curly copper red hair.  He has a plump face, a freckled nose and dimpled cheeks.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a carved faewood rune staff in his right hand.

He is wearing a braided gold ring, some fur-lined leaf green gloves, a plain bronze insignia, a drake-winged insignia, a white wolf's head helm, a ruby amulet, a blue feather-shaped charm, a neat dark red bandana, a platinum-bound bronze badge, a tooled silver clasp, a White Haven bear head pin, an opaline snowball pin, a white wolf hide harness, a golden bearskin pack, some fur-lined wolf hide hunts, a stiff black leather cuff, a leaf green deer skin belt, a blue suede pouch tied with coral-tipped drawstrings, some fringed buckskin pants, some cerulean wolf skin boots, and a hide longcoat clasped with a slate grey steel clasp.

Bilfords's face turns slightly pale.

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

Raltomer just moved quietly into the room, his group following closely.

A gnomish traveller arrives, following Dalzashel.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Bilfords, "Some spirits linger close to us."

Bilfords yells, "Scat!"

Bilfords turns around.

Roelon furrows his brow.

Nyaria quietly asks, "Eeww, where?"

Ralkean joins Talliver's group.

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

Nyaria glances around the room.

Tayler says, speaking to Bilfords, "You cannot send my accountant away that easily."

Bilfords begins chuckling at Nyaria!

Ferghal takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.

Tayler nods at Bilfords.

Oishi just arrived.

A stormy grey lynx glances warily about, his large ears rotating as he scents the air.

Talliver's group just went south.

[Icemule Trace, South Gate - 2487] (u4128001)

Thick stone walls frame a wide, wooden gate.  A vaulted stone archway provides some cover from the weather, which is often inclement so close to the glaciers.  The packed earth pathway skirting the town's walls gives way to a cobbled street in the same dark grey stone as the lower half of the walls.  You also see Guard Private Witlass, a snowbank, the South Gate and a snow-capped pine tree.

[Icemule Trace, Exterior - 3055] (u4050323)

Workbenches and temporary shelters of pinewood dot the hardy red tundra grasses on the small thoroughfare, which passes beneath the high stone walls of Icemule Trace.  The fortifications span east and west for quite a distance in either direction.  At this close a proximity, the bustle of Icemule Trace's southern gate is a dull roar in the crisp, cold air.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a worn redwood gangplank, a sleek white airship and a gleaming fireleaf airship.

Dwi smirks at Xorus.

Nyaria smirks.

=The White Wyrm=

[The White Wyrm, Gangway - ] (u12101101)

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Gutstorm wiggles his fingers.

Kataric asks, "No one is attempting to compensate for something with a vessel like this ?"

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Eofora, "Like yer alow'd to pull da sheets anyways."

Dwi tickles Eofora as they grin at each other.

Jaysehn glances at Jkarog.

Jaysehn narrows his eyes.

Roelon shifts his weight.

Eofora grins at Dwi.

Randsford squints at Jkarog.

Tayler says, "Airship, my understanding is the that structure is made of a highly refined form of Veniom that is actually lighter than air, quite impressive."

Leafiara hoots at Jkarog.

Jkarog moves a little more slowly due to his shackles, but he seems to be in a bright mood.

You look at Jkarog, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Jkarog, the Krolvin Trader.

He is average height.  He appears to be middle-aged.  He has hooded dark blue eyes and dark blue fur.  He has a ragged mane of wild, silver hair with a blue streak running through it.  He has a weathered face and a twice-broken nose.

He is wearing a set of shackles, a faded sailcloth vest, an old leather bracelet dangling widowwood charms, and a pair of dark canvas breeches.



Roelon nods at Jkarog.

Tikba amusedly asks, "Military capacity, perhaps?"

Tikba nods at Kataric.

Sorlu says, speaking to Jkarog, "Welcome, Jkarog."

Aliashyrah says, "It would seem Icemule hospitality has treated you well so far."

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Jkarog.

Sorlu raises an eyebrow in Jastalyn's direction.

Dendum says, ""This one is plated in heavy dwarf metal and is heavy as boulder."

Dendum nods at Tayler.

Talliver shouts a few orders to the crew, telling them to make ready for flight.

Dwi leans on Dendum.

Kataric asks, "So does one just go to the nearest shipyard and put an order in for one of these?"

Kataric works his fingers under his silk wizard's hat and scratches his head.

Tabubu quietly asks, "No cannonsn?"

Tayler says, "So far only Nuadjha has managed to get his hands on one."

Tayler sighs.

Jkarog mildly says, "I must offer my great appreciation to the people of Icemule Trace for facilitating such a... swift trip home."

Sorlu grins at Jastalyn.

Jastalyn chuckles.

Draelor frowns.

Jaysehn says, "I imagine the recoil from cannonshot would do horrors to this thing's stability in the air."

Tayler cocks his head at Jkarog.

The dim aura fades from around Tayler.

Blinking once and affecting a dumbfounded expression, Dendum gazes blankly at Jkarog.

Perigourd says, speaking to Tabubu, "It has cannons."

Perigourd nods at Tabubu.

Tayler nods at Jaysehn.

Gutstorm grunts at Jkarog skeptically, raising his bushy eyebrows.

Trisscar cautions, speaking softly to Jkarog, "It may not be a trip home yet, we may not land."

You mutter alive.

Dwi grunts, amused.

Jastalyn softly says, "We'll sail you all the way to the crash site."

Talliver says, speaking to Jkarog, "You're here to help navigate.  I suggest you remember that."

Yardie says, speaking to Jkarog, "I've a question."

Roelon narrows his eyes.

Jkarog offers an obsequious bow.

Leafiara looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Gutstorm, "Also...we killin him ferst."

Dwi cracks her knuckles!

Tayler asks, speaking to Jkarog, "I suppose we could pitch you off the side if you are particuarly anxious to return home?"

Jkarog says, speaking unctuously to Yardie, "Certainly."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Jkarog, "Preferably keeping enough distance to avoid any spewing from the volcano."

Tabubu takes a moment to observe Jkarog.

Yardie says, speaking to Jkarog, "Can you not challenge for leaderhip, considering you are krolvin, and seem to be formidable?  There's a half krolvin raised amongst his people who did something similar in Mist Harbor."

Tabubu glances at Dwi.

Tabubu's shoulders shake subtly as she struggles to compose her features, revealing a glimmer of mirth before returning to a poker face.

Jaysehn glances at Yardie.

Gutstorm smiles at Dwi.

Bilfords asks, "We free to explore the vessel?"

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.

Ralkean leaps into the air and lands hard on the ground with both feet.  A large cloud of ash billows up around him.

Roelon surveys the area.

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.

Yardie shrugs.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Bilfords, "Prolley some sea tarts."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Yardie, "It would seem the Czag Pritz is also very dangerous."

Dwi smirks at Bilfords.

Ralkean pets the lynx.

Bilfords asks, speaking to Talliver, "We free to explore the vessel?"

Perigourd glances skeptically at Tayler.

Seaward Gutstorm just went west.

Yardie mutters, speaking to himself, "Why do I feel like I'm in trouble every time I say something?"

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Yardie, "Something about crushing every bone in a korsair's body with a touch."

Perigourd says, speaking to Tayler, "Thadston threw that fight, as I recall."

Bilfords says, speaking to Dwi, "If so, I'll find them."

Bilfords nods once.

Tikba looks thoughtfully at Aliashyrah.

Trisscar giggles at Yardie.

Dwi grunts, amused.

Draelor says, speaking to Yardie, "Pay it no mind, it's a valid question."

Dendum says, "The Krolvin have a Czag Pritz that is female....or so this Krol vomited up by the ocean says."

Several crewmen hasten by, checking that everything is made fast for departure.

Tayler says, speaking to Perigourd, "He still got fairly trounced, it didn't look like he was pulling his punches."

Jaysehn ponders.

Tayler grins at Perigourd.

Commodore Jaysehn just went west.

Dwi grunts at Dendum, a quizzical look on her face.

Bilfords just went west.

Trisscar comments, speaking softly to Yardie, "Well, for many things, saying one thing does tend to get you in trouble with at least someone. Even saying nothing can get you there."

Jkarog says, speaking mildly to Yardie, "I am only here to aid my rescuers this evening.  Thoughts of empire building will need to wait."

Perigourd pours himself a goblet of Hendorian red wine.

Sorlu says, speaking to Dendum, "I am hoping we might learn as well something of these two humans that work alongside her."

Perigourd takes a drink from his Hendorian red wine.

Perigourd looks rather relaxed.

Lylia nods slowly at Raelee.

Dendum nods at Sorlu.

Kataric asks, "Are we just going to sit here and talk on the gangway?  Permission to finish coming aboard?"

Dwi chuckles.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Yardie, "And perhaps he wishes to tip the scales in his favor a bit before challenging."

Aliashyrah shrugs at Yardie.

Kataric says, "I didn't bring any liquor."

Tabubu looks thoughtfully at Jkarog.

A grinding roar shivers through the wood of the deck, followed by a high-pitched whine.

Talliver says, "I'm scarcely certain what to prepare for."

Yardie asks, speaking to Jkarog, "But it's still not a possibility?  An option?"

Ferghal quietly says, "I got my still on me..."

Dendum whispers aloud, speaking to Sorlu, ""Hopefully we see them first."

Talliver nods at Jastalyn.

Commodore Jaysehn just arrived.

Lilanna nods at Talliver.

A pure white samoyed abruptly sits and scratches energetically at his coat before standing up and shaking vigorously.

Tayler says, speaking to Perigourd, "Surely you recall when Tyrrax and Amos fought and nearly destroyed half a fleet with their combined ferocity too."

Bakarus glances up.

Yardie asks, speaking to Jkarog, "At least in the future?"

Trisscar quietly says, "I am going to explore for a moment, be right back. I have never been on this ship."

Kataric turns to Ferghal and cheers!

Sorlu agrees with Dendum.

Jkarog says, speaking lightly to Yardie, "Anything is possible."

Nyaria quietly says, "Its best to prepare for the unexpected at all times."

Roelon pulls the voluminous tartan-lined hood of his black leather duster over his head, preparing himself for the capricious elements of the outdoors.

Gutstorm joins Talliver's group.

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

Sorlu whispers aloud, speaking to Dendum, "Hopefully we aren't seen at all."

Jkarog shuffles off, his shackles rattling.

Yardie nods.

Dwi grunts at Gutstorm, a quizzical look on her face.

Ferghal agrees with Nyaria.

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Nyaria, "Can one truly prepare for the unexpected?"

Dwi asks, speaking heartily to Gutstorm, "Cookies?"

Talliver says, "Let's head for the bridge."

Yardie politely says, "Thank you, for answering."

The shadowy black cat licks its right paw, seemingly oblivious to the world around it.

Gutstorm slurs, speaking drunkenly to Dwi, "He got everyhin locked up tigh."

Talliver's group just went west.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101102)

Evenly lit by glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead, the intersection of the main deck is narrow.  Veniom filaments travel along the bulkheads, which are made of teak and reinforced with pale imflass the color of fog.  They fan out from a hatch to the west that is also the source of the low, rumbling thrum that pulses through the deck.  At the northern end of the corridor, a reinforced hoarbeam door carved with a rampant mule is stationed at the center of the bulkhead.

Also here: Preservationist Perigourd, Great Lord Ferghal, Magnasco, Tabubu, Fropple, Tesserus who is invisible, Seneschal Dendum, Whimweaver Leafiara, Lord Randsford, Tikba, Imperatrix Lylia, Eofora, Queatus, Magister Raelee, Roelon, Sarissa Tayler, Xorus, Lady Nyaria, Bakarus, Zeminar, Lilanna, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Draelor, Dwi, Jastalyn, Lord Kataric, Pertyc, High Lord Alastir, Ralkean, Seaward Gutstorm, Talliver

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Talliver's group just went south.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101103)

Toward the fore of the ship, the main deck widens.  Crates and supplies are stacked along the bulkheads, secured to them by hooks and sturdy hempen ropes, save around the base of a pale metal ladder that leads to the upper deck.  They leave sufficient space to access crew quarters through a narrow archway in the eastern wall.  Heavily reinforced with golvern, a riveted imflass hatch leads toward the ship's bridge.  You also see the Trisscar disk and a cheerful glacier spirit that is flying around.

[The White Wyrm, Bridge - ] (u12101105)

The ship's bridge is sealed off from the rest of the ship by a riveted imflass hatch that is reinforced with golvern.  Curving along with the forward bulkhead, great windows provide the ship's bridge with a panoramic view and allow in daylight that melds with the even radiance of glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead.   Chairs fan out across the raised deck in a half-circle, secured by heavy bolts.

Also here: Preservationist Perigourd, Great Lord Ferghal, Magnasco, Tabubu, Fropple, Tesserus who is invisible, Seneschal Dendum, Whimweaver Leafiara, Lord Randsford, Tikba, Imperatrix Lylia, Eofora, Queatus, Magister Raelee, Roelon, Sarissa Tayler, Xorus, Lady Nyaria, Bakarus, Zeminar, Lilanna, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Draelor, Dwi, Jastalyn, Lord Kataric, Pertyc, High Lord Alastir, Ralkean, Seaward Gutstorm, Talliver

Talliver says, "You are free to explore."

Tabubu inclines her head.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Kataric walks over to the chair and settles down.

Dwi asks, speaking heartily to Bilfords, "Find anythin?"

Ralkean searches around for a moment.

Trisscar softly says, "An impressive ship."

Ferghal carefully places his wrapped rowan runestaff on the floor alongside him.

Bilfords accepts Lilanna's rhubarb tart.

Ferghal picks up a vaelfyren wrapped rowan runestaff from alongside him.  At his touch, a number of sigils worked into its grain take on a faint luminescence.

Roelon sways back and forth.

Lilanna put a headless bunny-crested pink rolaren shield in her leather sword bandolier.

Bilfords beams!

Jaysehn glances down.

A crackling electric energy trails Ferghal's wrapped rowan runestaff as he stows it in his runestaff sling.  As it leaves his hands, the illumination of its sigils slowly ebbs away.

Randsford nods slowly.

Perigourd shifts into a stately posture, formally positioning one boot in front of the other.

Ferghal carefully places his copper pot still on the floor alongside him.

Bilfords beams happily at Lilanna!

You recognize Kataric using the Symbol of Recognition.

Ferghal removes a dark leather folio stamped with the image of hop flowers from in his mithglin-framed eisenruck.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Bilfords says, "I think rhubarb tastes like strawberry, but better."

Bilfords takes a bite of his rhubarb tart.

The ship hastens its pace, its acceleration pressing down on you abruptly.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Bilfords, "Or worser."

A resplendent obsidian black raven hovers briefly near the ceiling.

Lilanna asks, speaking to Dwi, "Ye mean ya dinna make chocolates fer everyun?"

Dendum says, "It may also be shrouded in ash."

Ferghal carefully plucks a stalk of sugar cane free of his gold vasculum.

Tayler asks, "I'm sure in an honest fight Thadston would wipe the floor with Tyrrax, but in a brawl on a beach?"

Bilfords looks over at Dwi and shakes his head.

Tayler ponders.

Ferghal places his sugar cane into his gold vasculum, then gathers a piece of chalk from inside the container.  With a quick flourish, he notes the foraged item with a few strokes of chalk before placing the writing instrument back into the vasculum.

Bakarus says, speaking to Talliver, "I will pray for our safe passage."

Talliver says, "As far as Jkarog has been able to tell us, they don't have much in the way of aerial defenses, but not none."

Perigourd says, speaking to Tayler, "Were Thadston trying, it wouldn't have been a brawl."

Perigourd chuckles.

Tabubu just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Ferghal sprinkles a bit of yeast into the boiler of the copper pot still, pausing to stir the contents to let the heat permeate throughout.  The rich smell of yeast and the tangy aroma of fermentation rise from within.

Bilfords exclaims, speaking to Dwi, "Let ii go!"

Lylia looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Lilanna sticks her tongue out at Dwi, and lets out with a loud, "Thbtbtbtbt" from her lips!

Perigourd takes a drink from his Hendorian red wine.

Kataric asks, "So... hows the armor on this boatship?"

Lilanna nods at Bilfords.

Tayler says, "I wonder what type of glass those windows are."

Tayler ponders.

Gutstorm slurs, speaking drunkenly to Dwi, "Dat cuz ye no wanna burn da chocolate, gotta melt it shnowly."

Kelfyr asks, "How is this thing about handling lightning strikes?"

Dwi mutters something about him.

Kelfyr gazes heavenward.

Leafiara gazes in amusement at Kelfyr.

Ferghal grabs a bamboo-shaped gold vasculum from a large pocket inside of his leather-trimmed greatcloak.

Eofora just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Tikba glances apprehensively at Kelfyr.

Nyaria quietly asks, "'ive a question, should things go sideays, is there a place relatively safe for triage?"

Ferghal carefully plucks a small coconut free of his gold vasculum.

Eofora joins Talliver's group.

Nalver appears to be checking his pockets for something, but finds them empty.

Nalver checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.

Ferghal tucks a bamboo-shaped gold vasculum into a large pocket inside of his leather-trimmed greatcloak.

Kataric asks, "Behind Gutstrom?"

Ferghal drops a small coconut into the boiler of the copper pot still.

The scent of coconut wafts up from the copper pot still as Ferghal stirs the contents, the milky brown mash churning with the motion.

Eofora softly says, "Repairs complete."

Nalver sniffs at Gutstorm.

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

Teaberry gestures.

A small circular container suddenly appears and floats rather serenely over to Teaberry.

Wind suddenly buffets the ship, rocking it gently.

Dwi moves over to Nyaria and stands ready to guard her from attack.

Lilanna begins chuckling at Eofora!

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Kataric, "Fair point."

Dwi grunts happily, grinning.

Dendum asks, "Where did the Krol go?"

Perigourd shifts his weight.

Bilfords suddenly stumbles for no apparent reason.

Dendum searches around for a moment.

A deep growl rumbles in Nalver's chest as he slices his hand through the air, cutting invisible runes.

Nalver gestures.

A sleek red-footed falcon flies into the room, circling above Nalver once before landing at his side.

Tabubu shifts her weight.

Eofora grins at Lilanna.

Kelfyr says, "If things go sideways the wall becomes a floor."

Nalver carefully surveys his surroundings.

Tayler says, speaking to Kelfyr, "Slightly better than a larger metal object flying through the sky."

Nyaria flings herself against Dwi, bounces off of her, and giggles madly!

Sorlu begins chuckling at Kelfyr!

Jaysehn frowns.

Tayler appears to lose some internal strength.

Lylia asks, "The term 'Czag Pritz' is, to the best of my limited Krolgeh, a term for the 'bringer of light.' I thought it was a title Tyrrax arrogated to himself, but it seems to be in broader use, as this Jkarog has shared?"

Nyaria quietly exclaims, "Yay for meatshields!"

Ferghal spins a dial on the side of the copper pot still's boiler.

Commodore Jaysehn just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Nyaria ducks her head.

Tayler becomes unbalanced for a second, then recovers.

Draelor says, speaking to Dendum, "Off plotting most likely."

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

Zeminar suddenly fades into view.

Zeminar's cricket wriggles and squirms but he finally stuffs it into his mouth and munches happily.

Kataric gestures.

Nalver asks, speaking to Gutstorm, "Did you remember the return vouchers?"

Sorlu nods at Lylia.

You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.

Tikba nods thoughtfully at Lylia.

A stormy grey lynx luxuriously digs his claws into the floor.

Nalver joins Talliver's group.

Gutstorm grunts at Nalver and shakes his head.

Setting an empty glaesineth amphora beneath the spout of the copper pot still, Ferghal depresses a large button on the front of the still's boiler.  Immediately, the mash inside begins to boil and froth violently, sending distilled liquid up through the column of twisting tubes and coils.  Milky brown liquid drips in a steady stream into the waiting amphora.  Once the flow stops, Ferghal reaches out to twist a fresh ceramic stopper into the mouth of the amphora and picks up the now full oak-aged rum.

Talliver says, speaking to Lylia, "So we've heard."

Ferghal raises his oak-aged rum in a toast!

Lylia nods thoughtfully.

Lilanna begins chuckling at Nalver!

Zeminar joins Talliver's group.

Ferghal pauses to empty out any remnants from within the boiler of the copper pot still, tilting it to let every drop of liquid run out to the ground.

Ferghal picks up a compact copper pot still from alongside him.

With a graceful discipline, Tabubu's shoulders straighten while her fingers interlock in the small of her back.

Kelfyr takes a drink from his Elanthian coffee.

Deafening silence descends on the ship as the roar of the winds outside dims to a whisper.

Dendum says, "The Krolvin says there is a Czag Pritz with magic artifacts and witches around her."

Tayler takes a drink from his barberry port.

Ferghal put a compact copper pot still in his mithglin-framed eisenruck.

Tayler ponders.

Lylia cocks her head.

Roelon tugs on his alloy weapons bandolier, contemplating a deep thought.

Twisting off the ceramic stopper of his glaesineth amphora, Ferghal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Ferghal looks rather relaxed.

Perigourd takes a drink from his Hendorian red wine.

Dendum says, "Do not think the Krol are known for long terms in office......."

Sorlu says, "There never seems to be a shortage of krol claiming to be the bringer of this...or the bringer of that..."

Lylia nods at Dendum.

Sorlu chuckles to himself.

Tayler amusedly says, "Oh I really want one of these now."

Perigourd carefully surveys his surroundings.

Lylia says, "I would imagine so."

Ferghal quietly asks, "The bringer of bringers?"

Tayler says, "It has built in noise suppression."

Twisting off the ceramic stopper of his glaesineth amphora, Ferghal tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Ferghal looks rather relaxed.

Commodore Jaysehn just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Perigourd says, speaking to Tayler, "Imperial design."

Aliashyrah inclines her ear, listening intently.

Kelfyr shades his eyes with his hand and gazes into the distance.

Bilfords removes a flask of Zeb's scotch from in his bearskin pack.

Tayler ponders.

Kelfyr squints.

A massive snowy white tiger glances warily about, her large ears rotating as she scents the air.

Sorlu says, "The notorious Czag Czag."

Queatus just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

The ship slows and completes an agonizing veer as it alters course.

Sorlu nods fervently!

Tikba gazes in amusement at Sorlu.

Yardie says, speaking to Dendum, "I don't see anyone dethroning Cyllost anytime soon."

Lylia leans to her right slightly.

Bilfords takes a drink from his Zeb's scotch.

Sorlu nods at Ferghal.

Bilfords shudders.

Aliashyrah thoughtfully studies Talliver, a satisfied expression quickly reaching her face.

Bilfords put a flask of Zeb's scotch in his bearskin pack.

Jastalyn softly asks, "What's happening?"

Tabubu leans to her left slightly.

Queatus just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We goin da right way?"

Dendum says, speaking to Yardie, ""That Krol has the benefit of being stuck on island."

Jaysehn says, "He could be detrhoned already. We wouldn't know."

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Jastalyn, "Avoiding something maybe?"

Ferghal asks, speaking quietly to Jastalyn, "We're drinking?"

Sorlu glances at Talliver.

Eofora softly says, "I think we're lost."

Fastidiously preening, a pale-faced coppery barn owl shakes a few crumbs out of his feathers.

Holding her hand out in front of her with the palm up, Jastalyn wiggles her elegant fingers in a gesture that clearly says, "Give me."

Talliver stares studiously through the windows, as if searching the blackness for answers or signs.

Ferghal offers Jastalyn an alum-handled glaesineth amphora of oak-aged rum.

Yardie says, speaking to Dendum, "I suppose so.  Still, he is stealthy...and hits really hard."

The mate's muffled voice resounds through the ship, shouting, "Prepare to land!  We're in sight of the island of Glaoveln!

Jastalyn accepts Ferghal's oak-aged rum.

Tayler says, speaking to Perigourd, "Is it? The main structure seems quite similar to the common Elven design, though I suppose there's not many ways to approach an airship when it comes to raw functionality."

Gutstorm stands up.

Roelon blinks.

Nyaria rummages around in a soft deep brown suede satchel and makes a quick grab inside, drawing out a fluffy red baby fox squirrel.

Nyaria carefully places a fluffy red baby fox squirrel on her shoulder.

Randsford squints.

Yardie asks, "Land?!?"

Leafiara asks, "I thought we were staying in the air?"

Jastalyn grins.

Leafiara chuckles.

Ferghal draws his wrapped rowan runestaff from his runestaff sling, tracing an arc of crackling lightning in its wake.  At his touch, a number of sigils worked into its grain take on a faint luminescence.

Kelfyr asks, "Land, eh?"

Aliashyrah suggests, speaking helpfully to Talliver, "Ummm, maybe don't land?"

Roelon deeply says, "Well..."

Tikba uncertainly asks, "But do not land?"

Jaysehn slowly empties his lungs.

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

With a swift shrug of his shoulder, Roelon slings a dark orase knight's shield with a balenite tiger umbo off from a tangled mass of oily fishing nets on the back of his alloy weapons bandolier.

Teaberry asks, "We're here??"

Jaysehn rubs his steel grey eyes.

Dwi heartily says, "We needa bard..anna nabigator."

Dendum says, "Well can't spy very well from the sky."

Dwi smirks.

Talliver calls out several orders, belaying the landing.

Kelfyr cracks his knuckles!

Perigourd says, speaking to Tayler, "Yes, Captain Brashton designed this and the Firebird himself."

Dendum nods once.

Yardie yells, "What do you mean land?!?  You said we were staying up in the sky!!"

Twisting off the ceramic stopper of her glaesineth amphora, Jastalyn tilts it back and takes a quick gulp of the rum inside.

Jastalyn looks rather relaxed.

Leafiara gazes in amusement at her surroundings.

Roelon lets out a flaming volley of invective that makes your ears burn.

Aliashyrah begins chuckling at Yardie!

Jastalyn offers Ferghal an alum-handled glaesineth amphora of oak-aged rum.

Ferghal accepts Jastalyn's oak-aged rum.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

You heartily say, "Looks like we are landing afterall."

Talliver says, "Calm, everyone.  The crew's used to making landfall."

Leafiara adopts an agreeable expression.

Nyaria quietly says, "Maybe we're all just bait."

Zeminar nods understandingly.

Lylia leans forward.

Tikba grins wryly at Talliver.

Kataric asks, "Which direction did we fly in here from again, relative to the mule?"

Eofora softly says, "Needs supplies for tha return."

Ferghal put an alum-handled glaesineth amphora of oak-aged rum in his mithglin-framed eisenruck.

Yardie annoyedly growls, "Is it a politician thing to say something and then do the opposite of what you say?"

Aliashyrah mumbles, "You would think the active volcano would have given them pause."

Tikba amusedly says, "I suppose they must make landfall almost as often as they take to the air."

Kelfyr says, "West-northwest or so."

Leafiara agrees with Tikba.

Kataric nods at Kelfyr.

Pertyc sighs.

Trisscar nods at Aliashyrah.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Yardie, "Issa kobold thing."

Trisscar idly traces the seams of her blue linen cloak.

Draelor says, speaking to Yardie, "Seems to be quite often."

Gutstorm takes a drink from his scarlet Oire wine.

Gutstorm looks rather relaxed.

Kelfyr removes a mithril-bound modwir compass from in his modwir map case.

Gutstorm removes a gleaming ruby-hilted alfange etched with ancient dwarven runes from in his weapon harness.

Eofora just opened a battered leather map case.

Roelon slowly empties his lungs.

Gutstorm drops all defense as he moves into a battle-ready stance.

Sorlu picks idly at a slender Nalfein-styled cane.

Kelfyr squints at his modwir compass, then looks up at his surroundings with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

Eofora removes a battered brass compass from in his leather map case.

Dendum holds his hand out towards Dwi, palm upward and holding his other hand which is balled into a fist, inviting Dwi to roshambo.

Kelfyr nods.

Dwi and Dendum pound their fists in their open palms three times...

Dwi makes the symbol for rock!

Dendum makes the symbol for rock!

...It's a tie!

Randsford nods reassuringly at Roelon.

Kelfyr put a mithril-bound modwir compass in his modwir map case.

Bakarus grins at Zeminar.

Dendum starts chortling.

Bakarus nods.

Kataric says, "I was too busy admiring the upholstery."

Eofora turns over his brass compass.

Raelee glances down.

Dendum holds his hand out towards Dwi, palm upward and holding his other hand which is balled into a fist, inviting Dwi to roshambo.

Dwi and Dendum pound their fists in their open palms three times...

Dwi makes the symbol for rock!

Dendum makes the symbol for rock!

...It's a tie!

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

Teaberry gestures.

Teaberry looks considerably more imposing.

Dwi grunts at Dendum happily, grinning.

Dendum nods with satisfaction.

Ralkean grunts.

Jaysehn casually flicks the compass rose-embossed strap holding his rose gold spyglass, allowing it to fall briefly before deftly catching it with a dramatic extension of his arm, extending the gold segments to full-length.

In the darkness huddles a harsh island, green and lush with evergreens in the west, but cruelly clad in snows and frost elsewhere.  Toward its eastern center is a vast mountain, its crumbling peak belching vapors and leaking lava.

Dwi heartily says, "Yer learnin."

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

Teaberry gestures.

Glowing specks of sparkling silver energy begin to spin around Teaberry.

Tabubu lightly drums her fingers on her leg.

Jaysehn offers Raelee a slender rose gold spyglass scattered in iolite constellations.

Dwi winks at Dendum.

Leafiara glances appraisingly around the room.

Ralkean exclaims, "Dwarf mountain!"

Eofora put a battered brass compass in his leather map case.

Talliver says, "There.  Glaoveln."

Lylia lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Raelee accepts Jaysehn's rose gold spyglass.

Eofora just closed a battered leather map case.

Ralkean belches juicily, wiping the gastric secretions from his chin.

Aliashyrah nods slowly.

Perigourd says, "Hmm.."

Tikba gazes with interest at her surroundings.

Raelee nods slightly at Jaysehn.

Roelon furrows his brow.

With a near-silent whisper invoking fire and ash, Raelee's lor staff vanishes from her hands in a sinuous helix of white flames, only to rematerialize in her leather staff sling!

Dwi glances up.

Zeminar produces a shimmering black orb from the depths of his spidersilk cloak.

Kelfyr says, "Well, that's a sight."

Jaysehn nods once at Raelee.

Yardie asks, "Anyone have a small statue?"

Bakarus brushes his fingertips along a seam of his pale viridian cloak.  The threads there take on a lucent silvery-green glow and unravel, allowing the edges to part and the cloak to hang open.

Zeminar rubs the black orb in his hand.  It suddenly crumbles to dust.

Bakarus produces a rotted wyrmwood torch from the depths of his pale viridian cloak.

You mutter magestic.

Gutstorm put a gleaming ruby-hilted alfange etched with ancient dwarven runes in his weapon harness.

Bakarus seals his pale viridian cloak with a touch, threads of silvery-green light stitching it closed under the slide of his fingertips.

Tabubu quietly says, "My luck, a frozen active volcano."

Gutstorm removes a small statue from in his traveller's cloak.

Gutstorm offers Yardie a small statue.

Kataric ponders.

Queatus reaches inside one of the blackened sharkskin pouches hanging from his ghezyte-buckled bandolier and collects a small statue engraved with a tiny chevron.

Zeminar produces a small statue from the depths of his spidersilk cloak.

Bakarus lights his wyrmwood torch, causing the end to burst into a shower of sickly green flame.

Tabubu sighs.

Yardie accepts Gutstorm's small statue.

Teaberry shivers.

Zeminar offers Yardie a small statue.

Tabubu quietly says, "Always the cold."

Yardie declines Zeminar's offer.

Queatus slips a small statue engraved with a tiny chevron inside one of the blackened sharkskin pouches hanging from his ghezyte-buckled bandolier.

Yardie says, speaking to Zeminar, "Thank you.  Have one now."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Tabubu, "It's a marvel the snow does not melt from the heat from the volcano."

Trisscar quietly mumbles, "It is already active.."

Yardie rubs a small statue in his hand.

A faint silvery glow surrounds Yardie's body.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Datll be 15k Yappie."

Zeminar's small statue vanishes into the depths of his spidersilk cloak.

Yardie rubs a small statue in his hand.

A faint silvery glow surrounds Yardie's body.

A city occupies a small plateau to the west of the mountain, its twinkling lights distant and nearly lost in the evening mist.

Yardie put a small statue in his buffed leather pack.

Nyaria quietly says, "And i didnt think to grab my boots."

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

Nyaria grumbles.

The powerful look leaves Yardie.

The dim aura fades from around Yardie.

Yardie begins to breathe less deeply.

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

Yardie removes a wickedly sharp argent vultite katar traced with mithglin from in his ebon leather thigh-sheath.

In a brisk move, Yardie slides a wide aureate golvern buckler etched with a crimson-stained moon off his shoulder.

(Raelee immedately raises her spyglass, seemingly focusing on the volcano.)

Aliashyrah asks, "Your town?"

Roelon pushes the voluminous tartan-lined hood of his black leather duster onto his shoulders, glancing about his surroundings.

Roelon squints.

Jaysehn ponders.

Gutstorm removes a gleaming ruby-hilted alfange etched with ancient dwarven runes from in his weapon harness.

The air stops shimmering around Queatus.

Queatus's spirits are no longer lifted.

Roelon leans forward.

Dendum asks, "Where is that guide?"

Lylia removes a slim ki-lin horn stylus bound in silver from in her wrap.

Lilanna shifts her weight.

Aliashyrah says, "I was just looking for him too."

Aliashyrah furrows her brow.

Jaysehn says, "Looks like that settlement sits on a height of its own...."

Lylia removes a scrap of faded papyrus from in her wrap.

Tabubu quietly asks, "You lost the shacked Krolvin?"

The powerful look leaves Sorlu.

The dim aura fades from around Sorlu.

Sorlu begins to breathe less deeply.

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

Perigourd nods in agreement at Jaysehn.

The rush of collective knowledge of the undead fades from your mind.

Dendum says, speaking to Tabubu, ""Well...was welcome to leave whenever it wanted..."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Tabubu, "Maybe one of the crew is watching him."

Talliver says, speaking to Dendum, "I had him working with the crew.  He's not lost."



Lilanna says, "Better ta observe ther lands."

Yardie mockingly states, "Hey everyone, there's a volcano erupting.  Let's go towards it and see what happens!"

Aliashyrah says, "But if we see someone jump from the ship...."

Tikba gazes in amusement at Aliashyrah.

Iridescent bubbles swirl from Ferghal's hands like effervescent cyclones before abruptly popping in unison.

Ferghal gestures.

A small circular container suddenly appears and floats rather serenely over to Ferghal.

Lilanna says, speaking to Yardie, "Ye came... so...."

Draelor grins at Yardie.

Perigourd says, speaking to Yardie, "Wouldn't be the first time."

Nyaria quietly says, "Well in fairness, many live in Teras."

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Yardie, "Imma hopin fer a kobold roast."

Yardie says, speaking to Lilanna, "For a ship right."

Dwi cracks her knuckles!

Tabubu asks, speaking quietly to Yardie, "Afraid they will push you in?"

Raelee adjusts her rose gold spyglass, brushing her fingertips against its gold tube and tracing the filament-linked constellations, inspecting the piece closely.  She raises the ocular lens to eye level, gazing out into the horizon.

Draelor asks, speaking to Yardie, "Wasn't there a question on whether you could punch one?"

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

(Lylia sketches a quick map, detailing the water with cross-hatching and representing the volcano's column of smoke with a twisting spiral of ink.)

Yardie stares at Draelor.

Teaberry gestures at Yardie.

A small circular container suddenly appears and floats rather serenely over to Yardie.

Raelee says, speaking distractedly to Jaysehn, "... inform me when you require this again."

Jet black tendrils begin to snake and coil around Dwi's dwarven waraxe, nearly attaching itself to her wrist just before she releases her waraxe.



Kelfyr takes a drink from his Elanthian coffee.

The red-footed falcon stretches one of her wings.

Dwi just opened a fur-lined dark chestnut cloak.

Dwi removes a water-stained nautical chart from in her dark chestnut cloak.

A resplendent obsidian black raven swifly flies off.

Lylia put a scrap of faded papyrus in her wrap.

Dendum carefully surveys his surroundings.

A resplendent obsidian black raven glides in.

Dwi shows Lylia her nautical chart.

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Lylia put a slim ki-lin horn stylus bound in silver in her wrap.

Dwi smirks.

The shadowy black cat gazes at Jastalyn.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Raelee, "You may keep it until you are satisfied. I'm not here to look."

Thin, pale blue lines of energy creep along the floor before Lord Kataric, heading through a riveted imflass hatch.

Dwi glances at her nautical chart and taps it lightly as she contemplates a thought.

Jaysehn rubs his morduska hide swordbelt.

Lord Kataric dissolves into motes of pale blue light that flow through a riveted imflass hatch.

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

Kataric joins Talliver's group.

Dwi put a water-stained nautical chart in her dark chestnut cloak.

Moving with stunning speed, the ship circles the island.  There is no sign of threat below, though the ship stays far clear of the dread city atop the plateau in its scouting.

Dwi just closed a fur-lined dark chestnut cloak.

Raelee nods faintly at Jaysehn.

Lylia says, in Faendryl, something you don't understand.

A grizzled porcupine grunts excitedly and makes a playful attempt to clamber into Kelfyr's arms.

Dwi folds her arms across her chest and with a shrug, grins deviously.  She must be up to something!

Aliashyrah suggests, speaking playfully to Lylia, "Perhaps add some skulls in the water and a "do not go here" somewhere near the bottom?"

Raelee says, speaking distractedly to Jaysehn, "Thank you."

Tayler nods in agreement at Lylia.

Perigourd dances his fingers against his leather belt's buckle in a lively rhythm filled with anticipatory pauses.

Tabubu leans forward.

Jaysehn nods once.

Ralkean exclaims, "Drop me in teh city! I'm ready!"

Teaberry gestures at Dwi.

A faint disk appears next to Dwi, but then fades away.

Ralkean leaps into the air and lands hard on the ground with both feet.  A large cloud of ash billows up around him.

Teaberry recites a series of mystical phrases while raising her hands...

Teaberry gestures at Lylia.

A small circular container suddenly appears and floats rather serenely over to Lylia.

Raelee adjusts her rose gold spyglass, brushing her fingertips against its gold tube and tracing the filament-linked constellations, inspecting the piece closely.  She raises the ocular lens to eye level, gazing out into the horizon.

Roelon furrows his brow.

Dwi faces Teaberry, closes her eyes and begins chanting.  Suddenly, a small bolt of energy arcs between them!



Dwi opens her eyes, looking slightly drained.

Lylia replies, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Oh, we already put plenty of skulls in the water the last time we were here."

Tabubu surveys her surroundings carefully.

Lylia flashes a quick grin.

Trisscar quietly observes, "I had no idea there was something made that could move so fast."

Dendum asks, "Can anyone see the ships?"

Jaysehn says, "If the volcano doesn't explode.....that settlement would likely be spared the worst of the lava flows."

The red-footed falcon preens herself quietly.

Tayler nods at Perigourd.

Raelee quietly murmurs, "I see a volcano."

Tayler says, speaking to Perigourd, "Very impressive."

Randsford looks over at Dendum and shakes his head.

Kelfyr says, "I wonder if they've started any evacuation plans in earnest yet."

Perigourd nods in agreement at Tayler.

Draelor says, "Don't see any yet."

Tikba surreptitiously glances at Raelee.

Roelon agrees with Raelee.

Tayler says, "I wonder if this captain would be up for building a third."

Tayler grins.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Dendum, "We are too high up for me to see much detail."

Kelfyr shades his eyes with his hand and gazes into the distance.

Kataric asks, speaking to Talliver, "So... why are we staying away from the city? They have something that can reach us up here?"

Lylia nods at Aliashyrah.

Perigourd says, speaking to Jaysehn, "Unless the explosion is of catastrophic proportions."

Bakarus agrees with Aliashyrah.

Jaysehn nods at Perigourd.

A faint silvery glow fades from around Kataric.

Kelfyr says, "Hard to get a good view at night from this height."

Tabubu quietly asks, "We are landing, eii?"

Lylia says, "Coming closer may be unwise for many reasons, not least of which is the volcano itself."

Tikba says, "The plinite core would be your greatest difficulty."

Tikba nods at Tayler.

Sorlu says, speaking to Perigourd, "Which is what history might suggest."

Randsford says, speaking to Kataric, "Safer this way, no clue what is down there."

Sorlu nods at Perigourd.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl briefly puffs up into a ball of feathers.

Jaysehn asks, speaking to Perigourd, "I'm wondering why they have settled in the highlands and not near to their docks?"

Ships aplenty crowd the northern harbor, not too far from the city of Glaeve.  They are as small as toys from this vantage, and their crews are hidden by night's curtain.

You ponder.

Talliver says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I had wondered that myself."

The shadowy black cat sits down, its tail curling to cover its front paws.

Jaysehn says, "Ah....there they are."

Aliashyrah says, "Oh look. I found the ships."

Dwi heartily says, "Bolcanoes do wot dey do...no sense inna fearin wot dey do."

Dendum nods once.

Dwi shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

Kelfyr asks, speaking to Lylia, "What's a lava bomb or two that we can't handle it?"

Perigourd says, speaking to Jaysehn, "More defensible, perhaps."

Tayler says, speaking to Tikba, "Surely they can't be that rare that they can't be acquired."

Dendum remarks, speaking to Aliashyrah, "They still sit at harbor."

Raelee says, speaking absently to Tikba, "The greatest challenge in the core is capturing an elemental large and powerful enough, but it can be done."

Jaysehn nods at Perigourd.

You heartily say, "Looks like they have plenty of ships."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Dendum, "Not surprising from what the Krolvin told us."

(Tabubu stands as close to the window as possible taking in every detail.)

Trisscar giggles at Aliashyrah.

Tikba nods thoughtfully at Raelee.

Gutstorm put a gleaming ruby-hilted alfange etched with ancient dwarven runes in his weapon harness.

Tikba glances meaningfully at Tayler.

Gutstorm pushes on Tabubu without much success.

Tikba nods at Raelee.

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Dendum, "If their Czag Pritz says there is no danger, why would they evacuate?"

Teaberry says, "If they're going to evacuate, they'll need those ships."

Tayler asks, speaking to Raelee, "Like the elemental at the heart of the Shiver?"

Dendum says, speaking to Aliashyrah, ""Is good to have something that Krol said confirmed."

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Perigourd furrows his brow.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Perigourd, "Might be more politically sound...perhaps the port is neutral for the raiders to do their business."

Raelee says, speaking to Tayler, "It may have been sufficient."

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Nyaria.

Tayler nods at Raelee.

The red-footed falcon flaps her wings a few times.

A terrible rumble travels through the air, its enraged thunder rising even above the whine of the ship's engines.  Below, the entire island seems to shudder and shake like a thing alive.

Talliver frowns.

Kelfyr says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Evidences an awful lot of faith in a leader."

Talliver asks, "What's that?"

Dwi fidgets.

Tayler says, "Shame it was destroyed then."

Tayler glances down.

Queatus frowns.

Tikba glances apprehensively down.

Tabubu cocks her head.

Ralkean ponders.

Dendum inquires, speaking to Talliver, ""Earthquake?"

Roelon blinks.

Ralkean leaps into the air and lands hard on the ground with both feet.  A large cloud of ash billows up around him.

Zeminar grips his grey-scaled staff and visibly stiffens.

The layer of protection fades away.

Bakarus snuffs the wyrmwood torch, causing the sickly green flame to go out.

Jastalyn softly says, "Volcano."

Kataric asks, "Vulcanology happening?"

Bakarus brushes his fingertips along a seam of his pale viridian cloak.  The threads there take on a lucent silvery-green glow and unravel, allowing the edges to part and the cloak to hang open.

The rush of collective knowledge of the undead fades from your mind.

Trisscar answers, speaking quietly to Aliashyrah, "They have held on until the last moment before in their past, and when the doom was upon them, they realized they needed to leave and did so. Their leader was lost because of that."

Roelon nods slowly.

Teaberry says, "Eruption."

Lilanna nods at Jastalyn.

Bakarus's wyrmwood torch vanishes into the depths of his pale viridian cloak.

(Raelee adjusts her spyglass, and continues her observation of the volcano.)

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Kelfyr, "Or fear."

Bakarus seals his pale viridian cloak with a touch, threads of silvery-green light stitching it closed under the slide of his fingertips.

Jastalyn softly says, "I hope we aren't very close to it."

Randsford frowns.

You feel the extra courage wane.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Dendum, "Wotterquake silly."



Bilfords says, "It's about to blow."

Tikba says, "I suppose they can have no doubt of what is coming."

(Nyaria glances out at the scene unfolding before her.)

The sound of chains clinks outside of the bridge.

Kelfyr adopts an agreeable expression.

Umber eyes alert and expression wary, Perigourd gazes at his surroundings.

Ferghal quietly asks, "Genocide in the making?"

A look of concentration briefly passes across Ralkean's face.

The frosty white web of protection surrounding Ralkean falls away, unraveling as it fades.

You heartily say, "Wow sounds pretty poweful."

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Draelor.

Leafiara observes her surroundings with a keen eye.

Flickers of verdant green light emanate from Ralkean's clenched fist as he focuses intently.

Ralkean makes a complex gesture.

Only faintly visible, red-gold filaments spiral inward from the local surroundings toward Ralkean and weave a web of protection about him.

Faint red-gold filaments spiral inward from the local surroundings and weave themselves around you.

Nyaria quietly asks, "Maybe we'll watch it sink?"

The very powerful look leaves Draelor.

The white light leaves Draelor.

Jkarog just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da Valcaner burped."

Perigourd glances at Jkarog.

Jaysehn cocks his head at Jkarog.

Randsford whispers something to Roelon.

Perigourd asks, speaking to Jkarog, "What was that noise?"

Jkarog carefully asks, "Permission to enter?"

Tayler says, "It would solve some issues."

Dwi belches softly.

Tayler glances down.

Dendum says, speaking flatly to Tikba, ""Is odd how a people can ignore a truth that is evident if they wish to do so."

Dwi reaches for her dwarven waraxe and it nearly springs into her hand.

You notice your companion Yardie slip away into hiding.

Yardie comes out of hiding.

Dwi squints at Jkarog.

You notice your companion Yardie slip away into hiding.

You look at Jkarog, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Jkarog, the Krolvin Trader.

He is average height.  He appears to be middle-aged.  He has hooded dark blue eyes and dark blue fur.  He has a ragged mane of wild, silver hair with a blue streak running through it.  He has a weathered face and a twice-broken nose.

He is wearing a set of shackles, a faded sailcloth vest, an old leather bracelet dangling widowwood charms, and a pair of dark canvas breeches.

Talliver says, speaking sharply to Jkarog, "Enough of that."

Ralkean pets the lynx.

Tikba looks thoughtfully at Dendum.

Gutstorm removes a gleaming ruby-hilted alfange etched with ancient dwarven runes from in his weapon harness.

Bakarus whispers something to Tikba.

Jkarog smiles queasily.

Tikba nods politely at Dendum.

Yardie eyes Jkarog intently.

Shaking and rattling his ocean blue cage, Tayler lets out a shrill whistle.

Barking happily, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur scrambles into the room.

Jkarog says, "That... is Moradg."

Roelon whispers something to Randsford.

Leafiara cocks her head.

Kataric asks, "Moradg?"

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Jkarog, "And has he been doing that often?"

A small silver spider crawls over to your face.

Jkarog says, "He is the volcano, and he is angry."

Tayler blinks.

Raelee quietly breathes, "Moradg is impressive."

Lylia gazes with interest at Jkarog.

Dwi cackles!

Tayler says, speaking to a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, "How... did you get up here."

You heartily ask, "Why is he angry?"

Lylia nods at Raelee.

Tikba asks, "Has his anger been building long?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We feed him  an elfa er two and him happy?"

Aliashyrah says, "Perhaps he requires something to appease him."

(Pertyc silently observes.)

Dwi says, speaking heartily to you, "Undegestshun."

Perigourd casually glances at Raelee.

Dwi smirks.

Dwi nods at Gutstorm.

Dwi chuckles to herself.

Nyaria quietly says, "Knew the volcano was very angry."

Lilanna asks, speaking to Gutstorm, "Cus dwarf too small?"

Raelee nods absently at Lylia.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to her red baby fox squirrel, "Hush."

Tabubu glances between Dwi and Gutstorm.

Gutstorm grunts at Lilanna in agreement.

Tayler asks, speaking to Aliashyrah, "I think humanoid sacrifice is frowned upon, but perhaps someone has a goat?"

The red-footed falcon ruffles her feathers.

Sorlu looks thoughtfully at Tayler.

Kelfyr says, in Sylvankind, something you don't understand.

Aliashyrah says, "Considering our locale, perhaps a mule stowed away."

The shadowy black cat rubs up against the Opalina disk.

Aliashyrah flashes a quick grin at Tayler.

Pertyc chuckles.

Tayler grins at Aliashyrah.

A massive grey wolf snuffs heavily, scenting the area restlessly for something to hunt.

Teaberry asks, "Moradg. That means 'the fearless,' doesn't it?"

Dendum says, "Means big stupid fire mountain."

Lylia gazes admiringly at Teaberry.

Aliashyrah begins chuckling at Dendum!

Kataric ponders.

Tayler grins at Dendum.

Tikba gazes in amusement at Dendum.

The shadowy black cat cleans its coat carefully.

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Raelee quietly says, "It is not angry.  It is a remarkable, violent clash of the elements.  Fire and earth both blending and in conflict."

Tikba nods thoughtfully at Bakarus.

A massive snowy white tiger paces slowly about the area, scenting the surroundings restlessly.

Gutstorm slurs, speaking drunkenly to Dendum, "Yoo yoodin da shcroll me gib ye eh."

Perigourd says, speaking to Raelee, "Fier'dracus was angry."

Perigourd ponders.

Kataric walks over to the chair and settles down.

Lylia nods at Raelee.

Sorlu surreptitiously glances at Raelee.

A pure white samoyed gazes intently at a resplendent obsidian black raven, panting hungrily.

Dwi asks, speaking heartily to Raelee, "Hmm...ye shore?"

Nalver asks, speaking to Raelee, "Can we see a demonstration?"

Nalver glances at Gutstorm.

Dwi smirks.

Nyaria quietly says, "Sounds kinda like its angry to me."

Tayler asks, "Isn't there a volcano on Mist Harbor as well?"

Nyaria looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

(Lylia takes a place at the window near Tabubu.)

Tayler says, "Why all the volcanos lately."

Tayler ponders.

Dwi heartily says, in Dwarven, something you don't understand.

Talliver asks, "I think we've seen what we need to see.  Any objections to returning home?"

Dwi heartily says, in Dwarven, something you don't understand.

With a sound like a thousand thunderstorms, the mountain erupts.  Its peak explodes, sending shards of superheated stone flying across the night sky like a swarm of meteors.  Much of the pyroclasm is lost in the dense black smoke the belches from the ruined peak.  Lightning, awakened by the sudden eruption, streaks through the smoke clouds, and below, lava begins to pour down the tortured summit.

Tikba stands up.

Ralkean lets out a cheer!

Leafiara uncertainly asks, "...we have?"

Jastalyn softly says, "Oh no."

Nyaria quietly says, "None at all."

Perigourd ducks his head.

Lylia gasps.

Kataric asks, "Don't wanna trade with the locals?"

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

Tabubu quietly says, "Say ::Tayler  can't find it, but there is some distribe ash in spirit."

Dendum says, "Ok...well...."

Tikba gazes with dread at her surroundings.

Queatus blinks.

Teaberry says, "Let's go."

Nalver ponders.

Lilanna says, "Yes.. time to go."

Teaberry says, "NOW."

Tabubu mutters under her breath.

Alastir says, "We could land."

The voice of Yardie asks, "Should we not be near that?"

Eofora agrees with Lilanna.

Dendum asks, speaking to Jkarog, "How convincing is that Czag?"

A fiery boulder flies at the ship!

Leafiara says, "Okay, maybe now we have."

(Raelee finally lowers her spyglass to stare at the erupting volcano with just her eyes.)

Magnasco falls to the ground!

Randsford falls to the ground!

Nalver falls to the ground!

Alastir falls to the ground!

Bilfords falls to the ground!

A massive grey wolf falls to the ground!

A grizzled porcupine falls to the ground!

A pure white samoyed falls to the ground!

Faint ripples in the floor beneath Alastir become apparent before quickly dissipating.

Randsford groans.

Tabubu stares off into space.

Ferghal quietly says, "And there goes Dante's peak."

Dwi lets out a cheer!

Nalver chuckles.

Perigourd grunts.

Trisscar grunts.

Ferghal stands up.

You heartily say, "Ohh  dear."

Jaysehn scowls darkly, angrily muttering a series of vowel heavy, indecipherable words.

Roelon deeply says, "Bloody kilts..."

Tabubu stands up.

Ralkean grunts.

Kelfyr stands up.

Bakarus stands up.

Queatus stands up.

Jaysehn struggles to kneel, but fails.

Draelor loses a thorny barrier.

Draelor is no longer moving so silently.

Draelor seems to lose an aura of confidence.

The swirling breeze around Draelor finally settles.

Draelor seems to lose some internal strength.

Draelor looks less aware of the surroundings.

Raelee stands up.

Trisscar stands up.

Ralkean stands up.

Tabubu sets about preparing herself to be as presentable as possible.

Eofora stands up.

Perigourd stands up.

Balzi stands up.

Nalver stands up.

Ferghal begins chuckling at Roelon!

Jaysehn moves to a kneeling position.

Jaysehn stands up.

Yardie comes out of hiding.

Yardie stands up.

Draelor stands up.

Tikba sits up.

Zeminar sneers.

Eofora pulls Lilanna to her feet.

Sorlu frowns.

Tikba stands up.

Randsford stands up.

Zeminar stands up.

A shrewd glint briefly appears in a pale-faced coppery barn owl's eyes.

You stand back up.

Roundtime: 3 sec.

Teaberry stands up.

Zeminar sneers.

Dwi cackles!

Leafiara stands up.

Perigourd appreciatively says, "Good thing she has a golvern hull."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We not gonna land?"

Dendum stands up.

A grizzled porcupine scrambles back up onto his feet.

Roelon stands up.

Roelon mutters something better left unheard.

Sorlu dusts himself off.

Lylia stands up.

Leafiara sets about preparing herself to be as presentable as possible.

Nyaria quietly says, "I want an upclose seat for the eruption they said."

Kataric says, "That is why i was sitting down."

Magnasco stands up.

Talliver stands up.

Nyaria stands up.

Translucent streams of mana cascade across Lilanna's form as she lets loose with a rallying cry!

Kataric rises smoothly to his feet!

Gutstorm rises smoothly to his feet!

Alastir rises smoothly to his feet!

Pertyc rises smoothly to his feet!

Fropple rises smoothly to his feet!

The rush of collective knowledge of the undead fades from your mind.

With a swift shrug of his shoulder, Perigourd slings a dark faewood battle shield carved with an intricate doe trippant off from a series of straps on the back of his leather baldric.

You try to pull Talliver towards you.



A pure white samoyed scrambles back up onto his feet.

Kelfyr says, "Some evasive maneuvering."

You notice your companion Yardie slip away into hiding.

Thumping the surface of his faewood battle shield with an open palm, Perigourd lifts it high above his head in a triumphant pose!  A cacophony of grunts bursts from his faewood battle shield as a flicker of forest green light surrounds it.

A massive grey wolf scrambles back up onto his feet.

The eonake appendage on Nalver's belt comes to life, making a waving motion at Jkarog.

Yardie comes out of hiding.

Kataric chuckles.

You notice your companion Yardie slip away into hiding.

Dwi exclaims, speaking heartily to Gutstorm, "Dis fun here!"

Roelon flails his arms about.

Kataric points at a dark leather chair.

Alastir seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.

Iridescent bubbles swirl from Ferghal's hands like effervescent cyclones before abruptly popping in unison.

Ferghal gestures.

Ferghal suddenly disappears.

You pull Jkarog to his feet.

Dwi heartily exclaims, "On yer feet!"

Tikba apprehensively asks, "Perhaps the scouting is complete?"

Nalver asks, "Is that the billion silver chair?"

Roelon deeply says, "It's all comin' to pass.."

Roelon tilts his head down.

Perigourd tilts his head down.

You dust Jkarog off.

Leafiara rubs her chin thoughtfully.

A stormy grey lynx blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.

Balzi pulls his wide ebon belt up over his ebon linen vest, shifting the hammer-etched buckle around until it rests at the navel.

A massive grey wolf glances about briefly and then rapidly disappears from view.

Tayler says, "Hopefully an engine didn't get hit by that."

The voice of Ferghal quietly says, "Looks like a good chance of playing dodge the flaming rocks..."

Tayler removes a Brigantine deed from in his widowwood kit.

Jaysehn says, "It would seem the mountain has made our decision for us. The island is doomed."

Jastalyn bites her lip.

Dwi knocks on a dented steel pot helmet fashioned with a dull trailknife handle.

Eofora softly says, "Sumbuddy gonna hafta get out an row."

Perigourd surreptitiously glances at Jaysehn.

Tayler says, "I prepared."

Flaming rocks crash down into the harbor, some larger than the ships they crush.  Others pelt the city, sending up eruptions of flame.  As the island begins to shake below, a cleft in the plateau belches out a flow of magma, setting nearby structures ablaze!

Nalver says, "I wonder if someone from the Hall of Mages could check on the engines."

The voice of Ferghal quietly says, "Not it."

Tayler shows Eofora his deed.

Dwi grunts happily, grinning.

Tayler grins.

Talliver says, "My gods."

Leafiara flails her arms about.

Kelfyr shakes his head.

Jastalyn softly says, "Save them."

Jaysehn frowns.

Frowning to himself, Perigourd runs a finger across the surface of his belt as he seems to fall into unhappy thoughts, if his expression is any indication.

Teaberry says, "And there goes the city."

Randsford sighs.

Jastalyn nods at Talliver.

Roelon flails his arms about.

Lilanna says, "Ayyy."

Jkarog stares down at the island.

Tayler put a Brigantine deed in his widowwood kit.

Jastalyn softly says, "I don't care who hates me."

Nalver asks, speaking to Jkarog, "I take it this isn't normal?"

Queatus frowns.

Trisscar firmly inquires, "Should we not try and see what we could do?"

Raelee asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Did anything unusual precede the increased activity from the volcano?"

Aliashyrah says, "It seems we have a front row seat to the destruction of Glaoveln."

Roelon deeply says, "We are too late.."

You heartily say, "Well great."

Lylia breathes, "Cataclysmic..."

Randsford says, speaking to Jastalyn, "Not much we can do with a single airship."

Roelon closes his eyes for a moment.

Tikba places her hand on her six-tentacled star.

Raelee offers Jaysehn a slender rose gold spyglass scattered in iolite constellations.

Jaysehn accepts Raelee's rose gold spyglass.

Tikba shuts her eyes for a brief moment.

Jaysehn nods respectfully at Raelee.

Kataric asks, "So... i guess those folks down there don't need help managing this eruption?"

Dendum says, speaking to Talliver, ""There may not be much time left for this place..."

Jaysehn deftly collapses the segments of his gold spyglass, twisting it firmly before affixing it to his morduska hide swordbelt with the compass rose-embossed strap.

Jastalyn says, speaking softly to Randsford, "We have to try."

Lylia rests a gentle hand on Xorus's arm.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Lylia, "Funtastic."

(Tabubu presses harder against the glass looking down at the island.)

Jaysehn says, "Fate decides."

Perigourd says, speaking to Roelon, "Stopping the volcano was never a question. Trying to rescue who we may was."

Raelee says, speaking to Jaysehn, "Thank you."

Jkarog says, "Land the ship."

Jaysehn nods once.

Trisscar nods at Jastalyn.

Nalver yells, "Should have bought Raggler's ranger resistance when you had the chance!"

Randsford glances at Jkarog.

Tabubu glances over her shoulder.

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Teaberry says, "We can't land in fire."

Jaysehn nods understandingly at Raelee.

Lylia stares unwaveringly at Jkarog.

Tabubu stares unwaveringly at Jkarog.

You heartily say, "'They have boats in the harbor."

Alastir says, "Sorrows.  Sorrows.  Prayers."

Leafiara rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Queatus nods.

Tikba chants a short but reverent orison, asking for complete destruction.

Jastalyn nods at Talliver.

Perigourd grunts.

Tabubu glances at Talliver.

Roelon sighs.

Bilfords frowns.

Thin, pale blue lines of energy creep along the floor before Lord Kataric, heading through a riveted imflass hatch.

The voice of Ferghal quietly asks, "All mages cast water bolts at the lava?"

Zeminar snaps his fingers at Talliver.

Two effervescent cyclones of iridescent bubbles swirl in the air before abruptly popping in unison.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Dendum, "Let's hope we gitta stay til da end."

Tabubu asks, speaking quietly to Talliver, "How many can you put on the ship ?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me wanna go down and veshtigate."

Jastalyn says, speaking softly to Talliver, "Please."

(Nyaria grabs a small notebook from her cape as well as a quill and begins jotting down some notes.  She briefly looks up and out the window, before turning her attention back to make a few more notes.  Quickly she stores away her notebook and quill.)

Dwi gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Jaysehn says, "It is not impossible some of us could sail out this way and save some....but landing this aircraft seems like madness."

The voice of Ferghal quietly says, "Cold snap as well.."

Bakarus whispers something to Zeminar.

Queatus says, "We came to see, let's go see."

Tayler asks, speaking to Jaysehn, "Save the slavers?"

Tayler arches one eyebrow at Jaysehn in an expression of sardonic amusement.

Tikba grins wryly at Aliashyrah.

Talliver breaks out in a sweat.

Leafiara grins at Queatus.

Queatus nods at Talliver.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Land her inda water."

Sorlu nods at Dendum.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Tayler, "Or the slaves."

Perigourd says, speaking to Jaysehn, "The Wyrm is likely more firepoof than a sailing vessel."

Lord Kataric dissolves into motes of pale blue light that flow through a riveted imflass hatch.

Kelfyr says, "It's much better able to get to people than a boat at sea can."

Lylia says, "The air is where the flying debris is. Madness to try to land in this."

Lilanna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "By the time ye sail back...."

Kataric joins Talliver's group.

Leafiara says, speaking to Gutstorm, "Now there's an idea, if it's possible..."

Dwi glances at Jaysehn and rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Randsford glances at Talliver.

Roelon deeply says, "We musy take action.."

Trisscar softly offers, "We could extend ropes or ladders, try to get people up from where they are."

Zeminar says, speaking darkly to Talliver, "Pull yourself together."

Roelon coughs.

Perigourd nods in agreement at Roelon.

Roelon glances at Talliver.

Sorlu nods at Aliashyrah.

Jastalyn says, speaking softly to Talliver, "We don't have much time."

Pertyc says, "Woudl be more interested in saving slaves than slavers."

Dwi heartily says, "Haffa his points is good."

Talliver yells, "Land the ship!"

Roelon deeply says, "We are useless up here..."

Tabubu agrees with Zeminar.

Leafiara gives an approval gesture with her hand.

Jaysehn stares at Talliver.

Jaysehn asks, "What?"

With a slight roll of his shoulder, Randsford slides a white eonake knight's aegis bound by shimmering silver and imbedded with emeralds that form the symbol of the goddess Oleani free and grips it tightly in one hand.  A spray of silvery white motes skitters over the surface of the aegis before fizzling out with a fading howl.

Jaysehn narrows his eyes.

The red-footed falcon squawks.

Randsford nods firmly.

Queatus nods.

Roelon nods.

Lilanna stares at Talliver.

Tayler blinks at Talliver.

The red-footed falcon flaps her wings a few times.

Trisscar nods at Talliver.

Nyaria walks over to the chair and settles down.

Dwi cackles!

Gutstorm yells, "Yoo hearda Cappin! Land her!"

Lilanna exclaims, "Suicide was not on the agenda!"

Roelon cracks his knuckles!

Jkarog says, speaking quietly to Talliver, "Thank you."

Nyaria takes a deep breath.

Jastalyn softly says, "I will carry Krolvin babies on my back if I have to."

Kataric walks over to the chair and settles down.

Randsford says, "You heard the Mayor, everyone ready yourselves for whatever happens next."

Aliashyrah cautions, "Keep in mind that if we take on too many, we may be overrun."

Dwi yells, "Heave da ho!"

Leafiara enthuses, "Time to do what we can!"

Tabubu quietly says, "I have always wanted to visit here, but not how I had imagin."

Tikba glances appraisingly around the room.

Dendum remarks, speaking to Roelon, ""We are not more useful on the ground...."

The voice of Yardie says, "A conundrum. Saving slavers....but we might have a problem if we can't get out of here."

Perigourd says, "We should prepare to help any wounded we bring aboard."

Sorlu nods in agreement.

Trisscar nods at Aliashyrah.

"Praise Marlu!" Tikba declares as she draws a faewood crosier from her kohl zydris scabbard with a flash of writhing ink-black gloom.  A rippling distortion fills the air for a moment.  At her touch, a number of sigils worked into its grain take on a faint luminescence.

Leafiara twists her head slightly, cracking her neck.  She looks relieved.

Lilanna removes a headless bunny-crested pink rolaren shield from in her leather sword bandolier.

Dwi yells, "Bring her in fast!"

Nyaria stands up.

Eofora removes an ornate red rolaren short sword from in his caribou-hide sheath.

Dwi bounces around happily.

Eofora slings a finely carved driftwood buckler off from over his shoulder.

Kelfyr takes a drink from his Elanthian coffee.

Tayler carefully places a goblet of barberry port on the floor.

Perigourd says, "We should also remove any arms from them."

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Dendum, "We must try at least...."

Tayler says, speaking to a goblet of barberry port, "Stay."

The rush of collective knowledge of the undead fades from your mind.

You heartily say, "'Save the slaves .. the slavers have ships."

As Tayler reaches for his sword, the shroud of misty white thorns coalescing around it part slightly -- allowing him to hold onto it safely.

Tayler removes a massive coraesine sword wrought with a spiral of incarnadine sigils from in his leather sheath.

Tayler quickly whips the ebon Faendryl pavis off his shoulder and onto his awaiting arm.  The surface of the pavis pulses with white and black energy.

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

Lilanna gestures.

A bright luminescence surrounds Lilanna.

Perigourd says, "Weaponry, that is."

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

Lilanna gestures.

A silvery luminescence surrounds Lilanna.

You glance at Jkarog.

Talliver quickly says, "We'll put down.  Anyone who wants to return to Icemule Trace, the ship can get back in the air and return home."

Lylia removes an intricate clockwork staff tipped with a tapered black opal shard from in her wrap.

Bilfords says, "Sanct the ship."

The voice of Yardie says, "And I'm telling you now, I've no desire to feel the lash of the whip."

Zeminar shifts his eyes to Perigourd.

Dwi searches around for a moment.

Queatus nods.

A grizzled porcupine grunts hungrily at Kelfyr!

Jastalyn smiles at Perigourd.

Dwi cackles!

The whine of the propellers outside grows more shrill as the airship descends.

Kelfyr gently rubs the grizzled porcupine on the head and neck.  The porcupine slightly twitches his whiskers.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me can commandeer a boat and shail home iffin need be."

Dwi mutters something about Yappie.

Leafiara gazes in amusement at Gutstorm.

Tayler says, "In for a silver, in for a million."

Tayler shrugs.

Aliashyrah asks, "You are suggesting you are going to leave us on the island that is getting destroyed and send the White Wyrm home??"

Lylia glances at Xorus.

Dwi grunts at Gutstorm and nods.

Trisscar warmly says, "We need to move quick and get people on, but be ready to cut off the flow when we can. Prioritize slaves, children."

Aliashyrah blinks at Talliver.

Talliver says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I won't ask anyone to die for the krolvin tonight."

Leafiara nods in agreement at Tayler.

Dwi says, speaking heartily to Gutstorm, "I brung da happy face flag."

Nyaria quietly says, "Well, i came for an adventure... looks like im not going home empty handed."

Dwi winks at Gutstorm.

Jaysehn says, "No...you are asking people here to die for the their friends here."

Bilfords asks, "The rest of us are getting off to help?"

Teaberry says, "Maybe we can break loose some chained-up slaves tonight."

Bilfords raises an eyebrow.

Jaysehn shrugs.

Jaysehn says, "So be it."

Dendum says, speaking to Aliashyrah, ""Well....this sounds like a song worth singing anyway."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Talliver, "I fail to understand the logic of that."

Jaysehn draws an ornate ebony eahnor cresset sword with a glowing firewheel-shard pommel from his white faewood scabbard with a flash of holy white fire.  A ripple of Liabo-hued light shimmers over the surface of the sword as a faint shriek vibrates through it.

Roelon agrees with Teaberry.

Trisscar nods at Teaberry.

The airship lands at the island of Glaoveln, the rumble of its engines and the whine of its propellers dulling.

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Talliver, "How will we escape if the White Wyrm leaves?"

Dwi fidgets.

Roelon slowly empties his lungs.

Talliver says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "She'll be back.  Swiftly."

Lylia says, in Faendryl, something you don't understand.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We got no time fer logic!"

Dendum nods once.

Perigourd draws a damascened kelyn warsword from his faewood scabbard with a flash of vibrant forest green radiance.  A harmony of woodland scents and sounds fills the air for a moment.  A ripple of honey amber light shimmers over the surface of the warsword as a faint huff vibrates through it.

Kataric says, "Krolvin shmolvin. There's no water closet on this thing, and I had a lot to drink before getting on."

Lylia glances at Xorus.

Raelee narrows her eyes in concentration, the runes on her arm glimmering briefly.  She seems to glow with power!

Raelee gestures.

Raelee's eyes gleam with a newfound understanding.

Talliver says, "Any of you who want to return to Icemule Trace, stay on board."

Dendum draws an asymmetrical yumi from one of the bearskin weapon loops secured with jade buttons sewn inside of his buckskin jacket.

Perigourd lets loose an echoing shout! 



Perigourd's shout encourages your fighting spirit! 

The voice of Ferghal quietly says, "Tis not mine to question why, tis mine to do or die."

Talliver exclaims, "The rest of you, with me!"

Nalver says, "I wonder if the ice giants have ancient knowledge of how to tame volcanoes."

Randsford removes a ruby-handled wolf-headed spikestar from in his warg pelt sheath.

Jastalyn nods at Talliver.

Kataric stands up.

Eofora lets out a cheer!

Trisscar hoots.

Gutstorm turns toward Talliver and renders a sharp salute with his ruby-hilted alfange.

Leafiara muses, speaking to Gutstorm, "So often we don't."

As Queatus draws a battered saw-toothed cleaver, the air along the blade distorts.

Sorlu nods at Talliver.

Jaysehn joins Talliver's group.

With a swift shrug of his shoulder, Queatus slings a battle-scarred targe layered with pitch black iron boar hide off from some salt-stained netting on the back of his ghezyte-buckled bandolier.

Roelon nods at Talliver.

Jastalyn raises her platinum scepter in triumph!

Bilfords marches up behind Talliver and snaps to attention.

Tayler nods at Lylia.

Perigourd moves to stand behind Talliver.

Leafiara taps her white owl pin on its tiny head and it emits a loud hoot!

You stride over to stand before Talliver.

Dwi heartily exclaims, "Sit if'n yer stayin!  Babies!"

Talliver's group just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101103)

Toward the fore of the ship, the main deck widens.  Crates and supplies are stacked along the bulkheads, secured to them by hooks and sturdy hempen ropes, save around the base of a pale metal ladder that leads to the upper deck.  They leave sufficient space to access crew quarters through a narrow archway in the eastern wall.  Heavily reinforced with golvern, a riveted imflass hatch leads toward the ship's bridge.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Preservationist Perigourd, Great Lord Ferghal who is invisible, Magnasco, Fropple, Tesserus who is invisible, Seneschal Dendum, Whimweaver Leafiara, Lord Randsford, Tikba, Imperatrix Lylia, Magister Raelee, Roelon, Sarissa Tayler, Xorus, Lady Nyaria, Bakarus, Lilanna, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie who is hiding, Draelor, Dwi, Jastalyn, Pertyc, High Lord Alastir, Seaward Gutstorm, Bilfords, Grand Lord Balzi, Lady Trisscar, Lady Teaberry, Nalver, Ralkean, Tabubu, Eofora, Zeminar, Commodore Jaysehn, Lord Kataric, Talliver

Obvious exits: north

Trisscar slings a scratched faewood greatshield off from over her shoulder.

Leafiara draws her eonake warblade from her scabbard with a bold flourish, ready to leap into the fray!

Quick as the wind, Leafiara draws her eonake slasher and brandishes it, a wicked little gleam in her eye.

Dwi cackles!

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

You turn toward Talliver and render a sharp hand salute.

A pale-eyed shadowy black cat pads in.

Talliver's group just went north.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101102)

Evenly lit by glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead, the intersection of the main deck is narrow.  Veniom filaments travel along the bulkheads, which are made of teak and reinforced with pale imflass the color of fog.  They fan out from a hatch to the west that is also the source of the low, rumbling thrum that pulses through the deck.  At the northern end of the corridor, a reinforced hoarbeam door carved with a rampant mule is stationed at the center of the bulkhead.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Preservationist Perigourd, Great Lord Ferghal who is invisible, Magnasco, Fropple, Tesserus who is invisible, Seneschal Dendum, Whimweaver Leafiara, Lord Randsford, Tikba, Imperatrix Lylia, Magister Raelee, Roelon, Sarissa Tayler, Xorus, Lady Nyaria, Bakarus, Lilanna, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie who is hiding, Draelor, Dwi, Jastalyn, Pertyc, High Lord Alastir, Seaward Gutstorm, Bilfords, Grand Lord Balzi, Lady Trisscar, Lady Teaberry, Nalver, Ralkean, Tabubu, Eofora, Zeminar, Commodore Jaysehn, Lord Kataric, Talliver

Lilanna removes a kraken-hilted Charl's-tail inset with blue sapphire eyes from in her leather sword bandolier.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Talliver's group just went east.

[The White Wyrm, Gangway - ] (u12101101)

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Preservationist Perigourd, Great Lord Ferghal who is invisible, Magnasco, Fropple, Tesserus who is invisible, Seneschal Dendum, Whimweaver Leafiara, Lord Randsford, Tikba, Imperatrix Lylia, Magister Raelee, Roelon, Sarissa Tayler, Xorus, Lady Nyaria, Bakarus, Lilanna, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie who is hiding, Draelor, Dwi, Jastalyn, Pertyc, High Lord Alastir, Seaward Gutstorm, Bilfords, Grand Lord Balzi, Lady Trisscar, Lady Teaberry, Nalver, Ralkean, Tabubu, Eofora, Zeminar, Commodore Jaysehn, Lord Kataric, Talliver

Obvious exits: west

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

A sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur suddenly careens into the room, landing on the floor in a heap of corded grey fur.

Dwi lets loose an echoing shout! 



Dwi's shout encourages your fighting spirit! 

Imperatrix Lylia just went west.

Gutstorm summons a torrent of spiritual and elemental mana and releases upon himself a flurry of abjurations.

Motes of silvery light sparkle across Alastir's skin, twinkling like stars, as he prepares a spell...

Alastir gestures.

A horned frog hops into the room and stops next to Alastir.

Talliver says, "Last chance.  Stay or go."

Dwi begins chuckling at Gutstorm!

The voice of Ferghal quietly says, "Or, in for a silver, in for a pound..."

Nalver whispers to the group, "Turn off your necro rings."

Pain darkens Nalver's expression as he pulls a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards free of his finger.

Imperatrix Lylia just arrived.

Dwi heartily says, "She's off to rescoo em all."

Leafiara grandly raises her eonake warblade as she stows it in her imflass scabbard with a satisfying *WOOSH*!

Leafiara slides her eonake slasher in her imflass thigh-sheath with a satisfying *SWISH*!

With a flick of her wrist and a near-silent whisper invoking fire and ash, Raelee's lor staff vanishes from her leather staff sling in a sinuous helix of white flames, only to rematerialize in her hands!

Nalver put a smooth bone ring pierced by tiny crystal shards in his sanguine boots.

Gutstorm tries to pull Lylia towards him.

A thud goes through the ship as one of the crew lowers the gangplank.

A crewman hurries by and extends the gangplank.

Teaberry says, "Coming with."

Dendum asks, "Where is the gangplank?"

Perigourd stows his kelyn warsword in his faewood scabbard with a flash of vibrant forest green radiance.  A harmony of woodland scents and sounds lingers briefly in the air.  A brief shimmer of honey amber light erupts from inside the scabbard along with a muffled huff.

Tabubu quietly says, "Let's goo already."

You hear very soft footsteps.

Perigourd removes a shining knight pin from in his suede cloak.

Jastalyn softly says, "Let's go."

Perigourd raises his shining knight pin skyward!

Perigourd stands tall and appears more confident.

The red-footed falcon stretches one of her wings.

Trisscar excitedly yells, "We go! Forward!"

Perigourd put a shining knight pin in his suede cloak.

Perigourd draws a damascened kelyn warsword from his faewood scabbard with a flash of vibrant forest green radiance.  A harmony of woodland scents and sounds fills the air for a moment.  A ripple of honey amber light shimmers over the surface of the warsword as a faint huff vibrates through it.

Lylia joins Talliver's group.

Pertyc removes a perfect maple-hilted imflass backsword from in his black leather back-sheaths.

From nearby, you hear Dendum yell, "Its ok down here!"

Pertyc removes a polished rhimar mortuary sword with a dark leather-wrapped hilt from in his black leather back-sheaths.

Dwi moves over to Nyaria and stands ready to guard her from attack.

Two effervescent cyclones of iridescent bubbles swirl in the air before abruptly popping in unison.

Nalver removes a small veniom-bound armoire from in his elesine cloak.

Nalver opens his veniom-bound armoire, then suddenly several articles of clothing fly out of the armoire and onto him.

Nalver put a small veniom-bound armoire in his elesine cloak.

Nyaria quietly says, "Wastin time.... lets go."

Lilanna says, "Let's go while we have any time left."

Kelfyr removes a perfect razern handaxe from in his weapon harness.

Kelfyr slides a sylvan defender's shield off his shoulder, gripping it in one hand.

Jastalyn softly says, "Dendum ran down without us."

Jastalyn shakes her head, clucking her tongue.

Randsford nods in agreement at Lilanna.

Lylia nods once at Xorus.

You hear very soft footsteps.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Perigourd, "I'm sure I wives will recall us fondly."

Leafiara says, "A man of action."

Leafiara nods at Jastalyn.

A terrified elderly krolvin just wandered in, following Dendum.

The krolvin stops following Dendum.

Dwi heartily says, "Dendum does stuff."

Dwi smirks.

=The Island=

''NOTE: Things go a little weird here as Opalina goes off on her own and then returns back to the group.  She returns to the group when Talliver decides to adventure deeper on the island. She is mostly exploring and looking for slaves but only finds and returns a few refugees, attempting to escort them to the airship and then into Icemule as the airship flies back and forth between the island and Icemule''. 



Talliver's group just went through a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

[Grim Sands, Dock - ] (u4426014)

Dark and forbidding, a sturdy wooden dock rules over a small bay sheltered by the curve of the isle's coastline.  The pilings are old, their upper halves stained with the droppings of sea birds; the lower encrusted with barnacles.  Deprived the fury of the tides, the waters of the bay lap languorously at the wood.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship, a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shanty - ] (u4426015)

Red tundra grasses dapple an embankment overlooking the shoreline.  Atop the bank stands a silvered pine shanty, a little ramshackle but stll standing despite the unforgiving elements of the shore.  Framed by the sheer black cliffs beyond, the structure looks all the more insignificant.  You also see a frightened elderly krolvin and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Longboats - ] (u4426013)

Several small vessels have been dragged past the high water line.  One, an overturned longboat, has been scraped clean of barnacles and is slathered with fresh patches of pine tar.  A well-worn pathway parallels the bend of the shoreline as it travels to the east.  You also see a stormy grey lynx and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426012)

The gelid air is filled with the sharp tang of brine, an odor intensified by the heaps of seaweed strewn across the black beach.  Several seals laze on the rocks of an island just off the shore, their barks and brays traveling on the stiff breeze.  Though not especially distant, the intervening waters are violent, cold, and dark.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Altar - ] (u4426011)

Spent tallow candles huddle together atop a blue-green seaglass altar that has been erected just beyond the reach of the highest tides.  The monument is obviously old, its edges worn smooth and its base half-buried in the sand.  Several tokens lie in a heap of kelp before it, coins, bits of scrimshawed bone, and copper jewelry commingling freely in the bed of rubbery seaweed.  You also see a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, a massive snowy white tiger, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, a young frightened krolvin, a frightened refugee and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Deprived the fury of the tides, the waters of the bay lap languorously at the wood.  You also see a jaunty glacier spirit that is flying around, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, the Trisscar disk, the treasure chest-shaped Teaberry disk centered with a broken lock, a terrified krolvin child, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship, a heavy hoarbeam gangplank and a sleek snow white airship.

Spent tallow candles huddle together atop a blue-green seaglass altar that has been erected just beyond the reach of the highest tides.  The monument is obviously old, its edges worn smooth and its base half-buried in the sand.  Several tokens lie in a heap of kelp before it, coins, bits of scrimshawed bone, and copper jewelry commingling freely in the bed of rubbery seaweed.  You also see a grizzled porcupine, a massive snowy white tiger, the drake-incised Draelor disk, the blackened silver Ferghal disk, the Yardie disk, a pale-eyed shadowy black cat, a cheerful glacier spirit that is flying around, a pure white samoyed and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Though denuded of skin and bone, the skeletal remains of the creature suggest that it was singularly gargantuan in size.  A skull the size of a mammoth holds teeth as sharp as obsidian arrowheads.

[The White Wyrm, Gangway - ] (u12101101)

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, a grizzled porcupine, a worried krolvin matron, a frightened refugee, the Opalina disk, a scared krolvin child, a terrified krolvin child, a desperate krolvin refugee and a horned frog that is sitting.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101102)

Evenly lit by glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead, the intersection of the main deck is narrow.  Veniom filaments travel along the bulkheads, which are made of teak and reinforced with pale imflass the color of fog.  They fan out from a hatch to the west that is also the source of the low, rumbling thrum that pulses through the deck.  At the northern end of the corridor, a reinforced hoarbeam door carved with a rampant mule is stationed at the center of the bulkhead.  You also see a terrified krolvin refugee, a worried krolvin matron, a frightened refugee, a terrified krolvin, a terrified elderly krolvin, a frightened refugee and a desperate krolvin refugee.

Under the massive barbican is a shadowy passageway, with sturdy stone walls on each side and overhead.  Iron-barred windows provide access to this area from each of the barbican towers as well as from overhead, creating the distinct impression that someone is watching from the shadows.  The sharp spikes of raised portcullises jut from the ceiling at the northern entrance to the city and the southern exit to the wilds.  You also see a frightened refugee, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, the Balzi disk and a frightened refugee.

Several groups of adventurers jostle past you on their way through the South Gate.  The sounds of laughter from the west remind you of the inns and taverns back home.  You notice that the lowest part of the wall is darker stone than the top, a sign that this fortification was raised at some point in the past.  You also see a frightened refugee, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, the South Gate and an old beer barrel.

[Icemule Trace, Town Center - 2300] (u4042150)

The center of the slumbering frontier town is overseen by a sturdy mule statue carved from glacial ice, which rises from the surrounding snow on a plinth of cold dark stone.  The brilliance of the stars winks through the ice, casting prismatic glints of light over a scattering of townsfolk.  Some halflings chatter quietly by a colorful silver-bound barrel emblazoned with a row of tiny grey penguins, while others stargaze on colorful cloaks spread out across the hard ground.  Near the comfort of a smooth dark stone bench, a roaring bonfire crackles merrily, lending its warmth and illumination to the surroundings.  You also see a terrified krolvin child, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a scared krolvin child, a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, a terrified krolvin child, a variable snow spirit that is flying around, a fierce aurora spirit that is flying around, the Koreina disk, the Wonkus disk, the Helnora disk, the Faerous disk, a drake falchion, a drunken old halfling that is lying down, a pale azalea lace bug, a silver-haired black larch caterpillar, a feather-back conifer silk moth, a blued steel wastebin, a blue and white pavilion and a vine-carved cherrywood cart with some stuff on it.

[Icemule Trace, Town Center - 2300] (u4042150)

The center of the slumbering frontier town is overseen by a sturdy mule statue carved from glacial ice, which rises from the surrounding snow on a plinth of cold dark stone.  The brilliance of the stars winks through the ice, casting prismatic glints of light over a scattering of townsfolk.  Some halflings chatter quietly by a colorful silver-bound barrel emblazoned with a row of tiny grey penguins, while others stargaze on colorful cloaks spread out across the hard ground.  Near the comfort of a smooth dark stone bench, a roaring bonfire crackles merrily, lending its warmth and illumination to the surroundings.  You also see a desperate krolvin refugee, the Dwi disk, a nervous forest spirit that is flying around, a variable snow spirit that is flying around, a fierce aurora spirit that is flying around, the Wonkus disk, the Helnora disk, the Faerous disk, a drake falchion, a drunken old halfling that is lying down, a pale azalea lace bug, a silver-haired black larch caterpillar, a feather-back conifer silk moth, a blued steel wastebin, a blue and white pavilion and a vine-carved cherrywood cart with some stuff on it.

Wrought-iron fences and a dense fog seem to be everywhere.  The fog is low to the ground and swirls in a chilling caress around you, even when you stand still.  The fog is probably just from the nearby glacier--at least, that is what you keep telling yourself.  You also see a tall wrought-iron gate.

Several well-armed guards stand to either side of a hole in the glacier.  People wander in and out of the opening, which apparently serves as a gate to the town.  Within the ice you can see the faint shadow of what once must have been the actual gates.  However, the glacier has devoured it over time, and the resourceful halflings have taken advantage of the natural wall created by the ice.  You also see an old beer barrel and some stairs cut into the ice leading up to the city walls.

[Icemule Temple, Foyer - 2334] (u4047001)

Carved into the blue-white ice of the glacier, the temple reflects the best of halfling craftsmanship and design.  Nineteen columns line each side of the foyer, creating a sense of vast distance between the entrance and the nave to the east.  A central ambulatory paved with grey slate leads between the columns past the thirty-six bays, each of which is marked with the symbol of a god or goddess.  Some of the bays contain small kiosks where merchants hawk religious wares.  You also see an ice blue taper.

Most of the hustle and bustle seems to be in front of the Temple, leaving this place devoid of activity.  A subtle pattern of interlocking rings is picked out in the cobblestones, lightly rimed with ice.  You also see a terrified elderly krolvin and a Silvermule courier.

[Icemule Trace, Town Center - 2300] (u4042150)

The center of the slumbering frontier town is overseen by a sturdy mule statue carved from glacial ice, which rises from the surrounding snow on a plinth of cold dark stone.  The brilliance of the stars winks through the ice, casting prismatic glints of light over a scattering of townsfolk.  Some halflings chatter quietly by a colorful silver-bound barrel emblazoned with a row of tiny grey penguins, while others stargaze on colorful cloaks spread out across the hard ground.  Near the comfort of a smooth dark stone bench, a roaring bonfire crackles merrily, lending its warmth and illumination to the surroundings.  You also see the Koreina disk, the Helnora disk, a fierce aurora spirit that is flying around, the Sepharia disk, a variable snow spirit that is flying around, the Wonkus disk, the Faerous disk, a drake falchion, a drunken old halfling that is lying down, a pale azalea lace bug, a silver-haired black larch caterpillar, a feather-back conifer silk moth, a blued steel wastebin, a blue and white pavilion and a vine-carved cherrywood cart with some stuff on it.

Various halfling vendors hawking their wares block your way for a moment.  You notice a number of giantmen and dwarves heading north, coins jingling in their pockets.  A twisted, wrought iron street lamp at the corner keeps an inebriated halfling from meeting the pavement.  You also see a huge wooden crate and a path leading to a white modwir gate.

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see a massive snowy white tiger, a pure white samoyed, the treasure chest-shaped Teaberry disk centered with a broken lock, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, a small narrow-winged falcon, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, the Balzi disk and a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

[Grim Sands, Dock - ] (u4426014)

Dark and forbidding, a sturdy wooden dock rules over a small bay sheltered by the curve of the isle's coastline.  The pilings are old, their upper halves stained with the droppings of sea birds; the lower encrusted with barnacles.  Deprived the fury of the tides, the waters of the bay lap languorously at the wood.  You also see a lost orphan, a grizzled porcupine, a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a scared krolvin child, a stormy grey lynx, a sleek snow white airship, a sleek snow white airship and a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Perigourd draws a damascened kelyn warsword from his faewood scabbard with a flash of vibrant forest green radiance.  A harmony of woodland scents and sounds fills the air for a moment.  A ripple of honey amber light shimmers over the surface of the warsword as a faint huff vibrates through it.

With a swift shrug of his shoulder, Perigourd slings a dark faewood battle shield carved with an intricate doe trippant off from a series of straps on the back of his leather baldric.

[Grim Sands, Altar - ] (u4426011)

Spent tallow candles huddle together atop a blue-green seaglass altar that has been erected just beyond the reach of the highest tides.  The monument is obviously old, its edges worn smooth and its base half-buried in the sand.  Several tokens lie in a heap of kelp before it, coins, bits of scrimshawed bone, and copper jewelry commingling freely in the bed of rubbery seaweed.  You also see a frightened refugee, a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, a lost orphan, a massive grey wolf, a scared krolvin child, a desperate krolvin refugee, a frightened refugee, a cheerful glacier spirit that is flying around, a jaunty glacier spirit that is flying around, the blackened silver Ferghal disk, the Yardie disk and a pale-eyed shadowy black cat.

A monument of age-darkened ivory stands to the side of the road.  The old scrimshaw illuminating its carved surface still possesses a rich cobalt hue that is unfaded by the passage of sunny days and cruel nights.  It rests in the shadows of short, crooked evergreens, red grasses growing thick at its base.  You also see the treasure chest-shaped Teaberry disk centered with a broken lock and a terrified krolvin child.

Also here: Lady Teaberry, Pertyc

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426205)

A stand of wind-stunted trees hangs back from the cliffside trailway, stooped under the weight of glistening snow.  They are a ragged collection of pine and alder and larch, and in their shadows, tundra grasses flourish.  A thin thread of woodsmoke beckons on the wintry breeze, but it is mostly masked by the pungence of evergreen sap.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Lone Alder - ] (u4426204)

The cliffside road diverges, climbing toward an overlook to the northwest and proceeding eastward to follow the bend of the bluffs.  Small stones and gravel clatter down the rock face, lending a clacking percussion to the music of the sea birds and the tides.  A brave alder tree, stunted and growing askew, leans out over the land's edge as if peeking out over the dizzying drop to the beach below.  You also see a terrified krolvin villager and the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426203)

Diverging from the even straightness of the cliff's edge, a grassy promontory juts southward to loom over the waters of the Frostmain.  At its southernmost tip stands a lighthouse built from local stone, the details of the weathered old building lost to the intervening distance.  Kittiwakes wheel overhead on currents of icy air, their brazen cries punctuating the dull roar of the far-off surf.  You also see a frightened half-krolvin refugee, a terrified krolvin villager and the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426202)

A nest full of speckled eggs occupies a dropping-stained niche in the rock face just beneath the edge of the cliff, tantalizingly close but impossibly distant at the same time.  The cliff's edge looks out over a dizzying drop of hundreds of feet onto the black sands below.  Red grasses peek up through the banks of snow, lending splashes of vibrant color to the monochrome of the highland landscape.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426201)

Sheer and sharp, cliffs of black volcanic stone rise over the southern beaches of the island.  Though severe, the cliffs are far from lifeless.  Tufts of hardy red tundra grass grow in profusion near a narrow path that plummets steeply toward the shores below.  Nesting birds, from murres to auklets, make their nests in cracks and crevices in the natural stone walls, and their droppings have stained the rock white in places, like splatters of paint on a huge canvas.

Obvious paths: northeast

[Grim Sands, Cliff Base - ] (u4426020)

The trailway comes to an end at the base of the sheer black cliffs overlooking the beach.  A narrow path ascends through a break in the cliffs, offering a steep ascent to the clifftops.  Bird nests crowd every nook and cranny in the rock face, their occupants filling the air with shrill cries and song.

Obvious paths: south

[Grim Sands, Shale Path - ] (u4426019)

A braided rope net lies to the side of the trailway, frayed to the point of uselessness.  It is half buried in snowfall.  The path grows steeper as it climbs toward the base of the severe basalt cliffs towering over the beach.

[Grim Sands, Puffin Colony - ] (u4426018)

A colony of puffins with bright striped beaks have taken up residence in burrows amid the red grasses flanking the trail.  The little birds grunt to one another excitedly, several watching the trailway with wary black eyes.  A strong smell of fish lingers on the wind.

Obvious paths: south, northwest

[Grim Sands, Cairns - ] (u4426017)

Beside the shale path, a trio of dark stone cairns have been erected amid the red grasses.  There are no markers to identify their occupants, though one cairn has a corroded cutlass driven into the earth at its head.  Far up on the bluffs above, a lighthouse is silhouetted against the sky.  You also see the Lylia disk.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426009)

A low ridge of igneous rock breaches out of the sands.  Crude steps have been cut out of it to ease the climb toward a trail that meanders northward on a hesitant approach to the looming stone cliffs overlooking the beach.  Snow and dried kelp are heaped around the base of the ridge, deposited by storm and sea.  You also see a sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail.

Dark and forbidding, a sturdy wooden dock rules over a small bay sheltered by the curve of the isle's coastline.  The pilings are old, their upper halves stained with the droppings of sea birds; the lower encrusted with barnacles.  Deprived the fury of the tides, the waters of the bay lap languorously at the wood.  You also see a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, the Lylia disk, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, a jaunty glacier spirit that is flying around, a cheerful glacier spirit that is flying around, a grizzled porcupine, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a lost orphan, the blackened silver Ferghal disk, the Yardie disk, a pale-eyed shadowy black cat, a massive grey wolf, a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship and obvious signs of someone hiding.

She is average height.  She appears to be young and robust.  She has deep-set dark blue eyes and pale blue fur.  She has long, lank blue-grey hair streaked with silver and wound with sinew.  She has a long face and high cheekbones.  She has a jagged scar curving about her neck.

She is holding a gold-bristled glacier green hinterweta in her right hand and a mug of cold winterberry juice in her left hand.

She is wearing a scuffed burlap pack, a dark leather vest edged with rawhide, a sleeveless cotton shirt, a worn leather sheath sewn with seashells, a coarse flax skirt, and a pair of twine-wrapped leather sandals.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426010)

Rolling banks of black sand shield the upper shoreline from the relentless assault of the surf.  The low dunes are dotted with splintered fragments of smooth white driftwood and thick clumps of dark seaweed.  Salt stings sharply on the frigid air.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426009)

A low ridge of igneous rock breaches out of the sands.  Crude steps have been cut out of it to ease the climb toward a trail that meanders northward on a hesitant approach to the looming stone cliffs overlooking the beach.  Snow and dried kelp are heaped around the base of the ridge, deposited by storm and sea.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Sandy Ridge - ] (u4426021)

The path climbs onerously toward black cliffs in the distance, aided on its way by rough-carved steps hewn out of the dark stone of the sandy ridge.  Sea birds circle above, dark shapes against the starry blackness of the sky.  Their cries echo off of the surrounding rocks, filling the air with a shrill cacophony.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Sandy Ridge - ] (u4426022)

Winding drunkenly, the path passes beneath the shadow of a bluff hundreds of feet overhead.  Atop it stands a stone lighthouse that can be glimpsed from several vantage points along the ridge.  Murres have nested in the cragged rock face below the old stalwart and fill the sea air with their throaty cries.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Cliff Base - ] (u4426023)

Approaching the base of the cliffs, the pathway splits, with one branch curving along their base to the east.  The other travels northward up a chasm between high bluffs, climbing precipitously as it goes.  Red grasses grow in profusion, sheltered from the worst of the wind by the rising land.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Chasm - ] (u4426025)

Deep in the chasm between two cliff faces, the pathway refines into a switchback road that climbs to the top of the bluffs.  Slick from the cold and the damp, the igneous rock has been scattered with gravel to provide better footholds.  The pounding of the surf is a distant, even roar that echoes oddly off of the surrounding stone.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426205)

A stand of wind-stunted trees hangs back from the cliffside trailway, stooped under the weight of glistening snow.  They are a ragged collection of pine and alder and larch, and in their shadows, tundra grasses flourish.  A thin thread of woodsmoke beckons on the wintry breeze, but it is mostly masked by the pungence of evergreen sap.  You also see a frightened refugee and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Monument - ] (u4426206)

A monument of age-darkened ivory stands to the side of the road.  The old scrimshaw illuminating its carved surface still possesses a rich cobalt hue that is unfaded by the passage of sunny days and cruel nights.  It rests in the shadows of short, crooked evergreens, red grasses growing thick at its base.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426207)

The beach far below the cliffs narrows to a sliver of dark sand.  Sharp jags of igneous rock breach up through the sand like crooked black fangs.  Even the islands off the shore are cruel expanses of craggy rock, suited for habitation only by barnacles and the occasional sea birds.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426208)

The trail veers sharply inland as the bluffs grow unstable, undermined by the ebb and flow of the icy tide with no beach to protect their base.  To either side of the path, tundra grasses grow thick on the tops of earthen humps deposited by the wild wind, looking like colorful tufts of scraggly hair.  Glistening white drifts, the product of recent snows, are scattered across the harsh landscape.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426209)

Retreating from the bluffs, the trail widens into a well-trodden road that rises and falls over a series of coastal hills.  Rich, fertile soil has given rise to an abundance of dusty red tundra grasses that ripple and wave in the freezing gale.  Trees dot the landscape, but none are of significant height, for their trunks are stunted by the constant battering of the elements.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426210)

A few larches and hoarbeams cluster together as if conspiring to break the incessant gale, but they can only charitably be described as a stand of trees.  Yellowing needles scatter over the road.  The trail continues to climb as the briny bite of the sea slowly surrenders to the fresh scents of evergreens and loam.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Boulder - ] (u4426211)

As it crests a grassy hilltop dotted with snow, the roadway splits at a round black boulder.  The stone is taller than most of the scant trees dotting the landscape.  Eastward the road rambles, widening as it makes a descent toward volcanic flats in the far distance.  A smaller trail winds off to the northwest before it is lost in a small alpine meadow.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426212)

The road swerves around snowy hills as it slowly descends toward flatland.  Rich volcanic soil has given rise to vegetation as abundant as it is hardy.  Grasses in waves of red and green cascade down the hillsides.  Seemingly heedless of the snow, bright-colored flowers peek their heads out of the groundcover in vivid patches of violet, periwinkle, and fuschia.  The mountains in the distance are jagged, white-capped, and severe by comparison.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426213)

The ebb and flow of the surf is but a distant whisper, having ceded ground to the music of alpine birdsong and the susurrus of cold wind through the alpine meadows.  Mountains loom in the northeast, the jagged volcanic peaks a study in opposites.  Some are black shadows in the night, but one, taller than the rest, weeps a constant flow of lava as if its peak were an open wound.  Even in the night, it is bathed balefully in the infernal light of its seething lava flows.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426214)

Dipping down between two low hills, the road's constant undulations begin to flatten.  Crippled by a broken wheel, an ash-covered wagon stands abandoned by the roadside, denuded of its contents.  Whatever beasts of burden bore it have been cut free.  Scorch marks riddle the wooden bed.  The wagon has been deserted for long enough that grasses and patches of wildflowers have sprung up within the shelter of its shadow.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426215)

Warmth lingers over the roadway despite the efforts of the whistling wind.  Wafting gases from the north lend a faint, unpleasant odor to the surroundings, but stunted pines and several scraggly junipers heavy-laden with berries seem to thrive in the temperate span.  Smoke trails across the sky, belching from a lava-drenched mountain far in the distance.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Bridge - ] (u4426216)

Though no less fierce, the wind loses its wintry chill as the road reaches a narrow fissure spanned by a black stone bridge.  Dozens of feet down, lava surges sluggishly, giving off an overwhelming odor of molten metal.  Waves of heat wash up from the breach, distorting the air around the bridge in a way that makes the tenebrous expanse seem to dance and shift.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Perigourd draws a damascened kelyn warsword from his faewood scabbard.  The warsword traces an arc of vibrant forest green radiance in its wake.  A harmony of woodland scents and sounds fills the air for a moment.  A ripple of honey amber light shimmers over the surface of the warsword as a faint huff vibrates through it.

As Tayler reaches for his sword, the shroud of misty white thorns coalescing around it part slightly -- allowing him to hold onto it safely.

Tayler removes a massive coraesine sword wrought with a spiral of incarnadine sigils from in his leather sheath.

Iridescent bubbles swirl from Ferghal's hands like effervescent cyclones before abruptly popping in unison.

Tayler runs his finger along the coraesine sword's blade, causing one of the sigils engraved upon its surface to pulse with a pale white glow.

Perigourd cocks his head at Jaysehn.

Roelon observes the burning bridge.

Ferghal gestures at a black stone bridge.

Ferghal observes the burning bridge.

Kelfyr scans his surroundings with the alertness of a seasoned scout.

Tayler raises his coraesine sword over his head, closing his eyes as the blade of the sword begins to flicker and pulse rapidly with a grey-white light.  Massive tendrils of mist burst forth from the glowing blade, shrouding Tayler in a billowing cloak of grey air as the wind around you begins to resonate with the unleashed power...

A gust of wind tugs at your sleeves.  Suddenly, a fierce wind rips through the area, scattering everything in its path and making it difficult to remain standing.

The wind then subsides.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me golt idear....gimme rope, tosh me odor da bridge."

The island shakes and rocks, groans rising from the bedrock below in a monstrous chorus.

Teaberry intones a phrase of elemental power while raising her hands...

Roelon flails his arms about.

Teaberry gestures at a black stone bridge.

Teaberry observes the burning bridge.

Leafiara mournfully says, "Well... we did what we could unless anyone suddenly has any ideas that are workable and timely all at once."

Leafiara observes her surroundings with a keen eye.

Ferghal quietly says, "No  water bolts, no major cold, no cold snap..."

Aliashyrah nods in agreement at Leafiara.

Dendum nods at Leafiara.

Ferghal quietly says, "No call wind.."

Nalver just arrived.

Nalver pants.

Nalver joins Talliver's group.

Tayler says, "Wind does not appear to be working either."

Perigourd nods at Jaysehn.

Nalver removes a blue-sheened glass jar from in his black silk gem pouch.

Nalver put a blue-sheened glass jar in his black silk gem pouch.

Aliashyrah suggests, speaking to Talliver, "It may be time to cut our losses and ensure we can get back. It does no good for us to die here along with the island."

Kelfyr says, "Well, aid from the south is on offer."

Dendum observes the burning bridge.

Gutstorm glances at a black stone bridge and slowly exhales.

Lylia says, in Faendryl, something you don't understand.

Lylia smirks as a haughty expression flits across her face.

Teaberry asks, "Is there another way to the city?"

Tayler grins at Lylia.

Roelon rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Da airship..."

Gutstorm whistles tunelessly to himself.

Lylia nods at Aliashyrah.

The voice of Yardie asks, "What are you trying to use spells to remove?"

A deep growl rumbles in Nalver's chest as he slices his hand through the air, cutting invisible runes.

Nalver channels at a black stone bridge.

Nalver observes the burning bridge.

Leafiara looks thoughtfully at Gutstorm.

Jastalyn softly says, "Or we have to go around."

Iridescent bubbles swirl from Ferghal's hands like effervescent cyclones before abruptly popping in unison.

Ferghal channels at a black stone bridge.

Ferghal observes the burning bridge.

Teaberry says, "Most cities have multiple gates."

Nalver observes the burning bridge.

Tayler says, "I do not think there is much of a city left at this point."

Leafiara slowly says, "The fire, Yardie, the fire."

Dendum utters a light chant and raises his hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to his aid...

Dendum gestures at a black stone bridge.

Dendum observes the burning bridge.

Perigourd searches around for a moment.

Dendum gestures at a black stone bridge.

Dendum observes the burning bridge.

Perigourd observes the burning bridge.

Balzi asks, "Start pilag....saving some artifacts?"

Raelee distractedly says, "... one could hypothetically cool enough of the lava to create a temporary bridge."

Balzi grins.

You see Grand Lord Balzi the Champion.

He appears to be a Giantman.

He is very tall.  He appears to be very young.  He has tired green eyes and pasty white skin.  He has balding, thick grey-brown hair worn in a ponytail.  He has a flat face, an upturned nose and a high forehead.

He has a tattooed symbol of Voln on his ear.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a perfect drakar hasta with an ebonwood shaft in his right hand and a wave-topped red steel mantlet edged in drakar flames in his left hand.

He is wearing a crystallized silvery fossil charm, some crimson imflass platemail bearing ensigiled deep golden pauldrons, a blue feather-shaped charm, a brick red pyrothag hide jacket with stylized scorching, some weighted brawler's gloves, a shadowed glaes and iron fibula, a crimson-hued steel pectoral embossed with an ebon wolf covering part of the left chest, a white wolfhide harness, a mithglin-framed eisenruck with ebon suede panels, a fitted ebon linen vest, an ebon-laced crimson cotton leine with gathered sleeves, a dark crimson cigar sling, some jet black handwraps with ivory studs, an onyx crimson flame-inlaid ring, a tri-swapped wide ebon belt, a crimson silk drawstring gem pouch shot through with elaborate blackworking, a cire leather herb kit scuffed at the corners, a shaggy dark grey wolf fur satchel, a perfect maoral-handled mithril forging-hammer, a heavyweight dark tartan great-kilt with a long swathe pinned at the left shoulder, an imflass bound brown bear skin thigh sheath inlaid with radiant opalescent thunderstones, and a pair of pale ivory yatane with jet black accents.

The voice of Yardie says, "One wants to be certain."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "We not try sacrificing elf to make volcaner god happy yet?"

Roelon observes the burning bridge.

The coppery barn owl circles lazily above.

Teaberry intones a phrase of elemental power while raising her hands...

Leafiara says, "Waterways? Hmm."

Ferghal whispers to the group, "We don't need no water, let the city burn...."

Raelee adds, "... it might take a significant effort, however.  The heat of flowing lava versus a rote spell... it is a matter of balance."

Queatus searches around for a moment.

Nalver says, speaking to Gutstorm, "It's a mudcarp."

The voice of Yardie says, "And please recall, some of us do not have magic readily available as a solution."

Tayler says, speaking to Gutstorm, "I nominate you as a honorary elf."

Teaberry gestures at a black stone bridge.

Teaberry observes the burning bridge.

J>sneak bridge

The stone bridge is closed, making it very difficult to sneak through.

The shadowy black cat meows.

Lilanna agrees with Tayler.

Gutstorm grunts and shakes his head.

A grizzled porcupine scans the area with bright beady eyes, watching all possible directions for potential foes.

Jkarog just arrived.

J>go under beridge

Where are you trying to go?

Jaysehn glances at Jkarog.

Jkarog says, "Ah.  Wizardry."

Dendum says, "That Magistar says she can find a sea path."

Ferghal quietly asks, "Water walking?"

The powerful look leaves Perigourd.

Lylia says, speaking to Jkarog, "I see your shackles are gone."

Queatus asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Any ideas?"

Nalver asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Have you seen a krolvin child by the name of Herjoz?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Wot we need ish firewalkin shpell."

J>look jkarog

You look at Jkarog, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.

*shackles are indeed gone*

You see Jkarog, the Krolvin Trader.

He is average height.  He appears to be middle-aged.  He has hooded dark blue eyes and dark blue fur.  He has a ragged mane of wild, silver hair with a blue streak running through it.  He has a weathered face and a twice-broken nose.

He is wearing a faded sailcloth vest, an old leather bracelet dangling widowwood charms, and a pair of dark canvas breeches.

Leafiara says, "Not enough time to get my man o' war from Landing to Icemule and then here, but..."

Leafiara asks, "Wait, from Solhaven? What?"

Leafiara furrows her brow.

Nalver removes some gristly monster flesh from in his black silk gem pouch.

Tayler removes a Brigantine deed from in his widowwood kit.

Tayler asks, "See any dockmasters?"

Nalver points his monster flesh at Gutstorm.

Tayler waves a Brigantine deed around.

Perigourd says, speaking to Leafiara, "Magister Odelgarde is likely going to open some form of portal."

Jkarog says, speaking quietly to Dendum, "Magisters.  Hm."

Queatus nods at Tayler.

Nalver says, speaking to Gutstorm, "I hear this thing is like firewalking. Makes your legs really long."

Queatus says, "There is one."

Leafiara considers, speaking to Perigourd, "Oh. That makes more sense."

Nalver put some gristly monster flesh in his black silk gem pouch.

Pertyc just arrived.

Gutstorm gawks at Nalver.

A battered krolvin villager just wandered in, following Pertyc.

Tayler blinks at Queatus.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Has the Czag Pritz been seen?"

Raelee asks, speaking evenly to Jkarog, "Tamzyrr witches?"

Roelon nods at Perigourd.

Tayler asks, speaking to Queatus, "Truly?"

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Aliashyrah asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Or her advisors?"

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

(Tayler rubs his temples briefly.)

Dendum says, speaking to Jkarog, ""Hrmph do not get started on Magistars."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Leafiara grins wryly at Dendum.

Tayler asks, speaking to Queatus, "Where at?"

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

The feeling fades as quickly as it came.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Perigourd asks, speaking to Jkarog, "Is this bridge the only path toward others who may need help?"

A shadowy gloom swiftly pushes upward from the ground.  When the darkness lifts, Tikba is standing in its place.

A dismal wasteland spirit floats in, following Tikba.

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

Aliashyrah gestures.

Aliashyrah gets a frustrated look on her face.

Lilanna sighs.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Nalver says, speaking to Dendum, "Remember that one time the Magister gave us crates upon crates of supplies and didn't even notice we just took them and kept em."

A small silver spider crawls over to your left upper arm.

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Tikba grins at Aliashyrah.

Queatus says, "There was a dock somewhere near where the ship landed."

Perigourd raises an eyebrow in Jkarog's direction.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Tayler says, "A brigandine cannot take many... but it can take some."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Perigourd nods in agreement.

Lilanna nods at Talliver.

Preservationist Perigourd just went south.

Nalver asks, "What's up with the dragon skeleton?"

Tikba nods in agreement at Talliver.

Talliver asks, "You mages.  What's the solution here?"

The shadowy black cat pads around the area.

The coppery barn owl circles lazily above.

Jaysehn glances at Raelee.

Tayler tilts his coraesine sword slightly and the whorling grey patterns on the blade shift and change slightly.

Preservationist Perigourd just arrived.

Teaberry says, "Magic isn't a solution here."

Tayler deftly twirls his coraesine sword around his finger and stuffs it in his leather sheath.  Fancy!

Tikba joins Talliver's group.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Preservationist Perigourd just went south.

Raelee says, speaking to Talliver, "Chill the lava.  Solidify it so that it may be crossed on foot."

Teaberry nods at Bakarus.

Leafiara ponders.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Cant Owly fly odor da bridge and Raelee portal us crosh?"

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Sparks begin to fill the air, a swirling light suddenly coming into view.  The edges slowly solidify and a portal appears.

Tayler glances at a shimmering blue portal.

Jkarog says, speaking to Raelee, "So very oblique."

Ferghal quietly says, "Cold spells were tried."

Raelee says, speaking to Talliver, "The bridge is likely a loss, even if the fire is extinguished - matters of structural integrity."

You hear very soft footsteps.

Lylia glances at a shimmering blue portal.

Leafiara glances at a shimmering blue portal.

Nalver chuckles.

You hear very soft footsteps.

Tayler says, "Solhaven."

J>go portal

[Solhaven, North Market - 1438] (u4209030)

The press of the crowd is little diminished by the late hour.  Peddlers wheel small carts, pushing their way through and splitting the air with their shouts.  Delectable scents of baked goods grace the air, drifting from the wrought iron oven of the Muffinsmith's stall at the corner of the market.  Before it, a blond thanot bench embellished with bas-relief pelican feathers glistens in the starlight thanks to a coat of varnish.  On the opposite end of the market, the Belts booth and the Small Blades stand laze beneath the night sky, still open for customers.  You also see a wizened gnome, a shimmering blue portal, a black-eared red and grey fox, a ruby-throated viridian hummingbird that is flying around, the sparkling Oishian disk, a lazy wild white dog, the web-draped Missoni disk, the alabaster Kialeigh disk with interlocking silver knotwork, the white Ashumm disk, a small raven, a hummingbird feather, a triangle-shaped half of a buttery grilled cheese sandwich and a copper-banded green oak barrel with a small block of salt on it.

Akenna says, "Oh."

>go portal

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Missoni says, "Ah, there we are."

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Bridge - ] (u4426216)

Though no less fierce, the wind loses its wintry chill as the road reaches a narrow fissure spanned by a black stone bridge.  Dozens of feet down, lava surges sluggishly, giving off an overwhelming odor of molten metal.  Waves of heat wash up from the breach, distorting the air around the bridge in a way that makes the tenebrous expanse seem to dance and shift.  You also see the sparkling Oishian disk, a ruby-throated viridian hummingbird that is flying around, a shimmering blue portal, the Trisscar disk, a dismal wasteland spirit that is flying around, a battered krolvin villager, the driftwood Nalver disk, a massive snowy white tiger, the Balzi disk, a pale-faced coppery barn owl that is flying around, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, the Yardie disk, the blackened silver Ferghal disk, the treasure chest-shaped Teaberry disk centered with a broken lock, the palm frond-shaped Leafiara disk, the scuffed copper Queatus disk wreathed in miniature floating lockpicks, the Lylia disk, a pale-eyed shadowy black cat, a grizzled porcupine, a cheerful glacier spirit that is flying around, a massive grey wolf and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Oishian, Seneschal Dendum, Lady Trisscar, Tikba, Pertyc, Jkarog, Nalver, Roelon, Grand Lord Balzi, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Jastalyn, Seaward Gutstorm, Draelor, Whimweaver Leafiara, Sarissa Tayler, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Zeminar, Imperatrix Lylia, Bakarus, Queatus, Bilfords, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Talliver

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Pertyc joins Talliver's group.

Raelee says, speaking to Jkarog, "Likely not.  Merely one of the... Tamzyrr witches."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

  A small cyan-hazed icy sprite materializes near the end of her staff.  The distorted surface begins to mend as glyphs appear and fade across its surface.  A final pulse of cyan-hazed icy light reveals a glowing orase staff capped with a helix cradling a cobalt amber orb.  The cyan-hazed icy sprite flits just over her shoulder.

Akenna draws her orase staff from her runestaff sling, tracing an arc of fire and smoke in its wake.

Jaysehn places a gentle kiss on Akenna's lips.

Tikba says, speaking appreciatively to Alosaka, "Good work, as always."

Gutstorm yells, "We need yoo blade, Blade!"

Ralkean just arrived.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Meril joins Talliver's group.

Leafiara says, "Well, this works."

Talliver says, speaking flatly to Jkarog, "No."

Nalver says, "We could call down boulders until it builds a new bridge."

Meril put a slender alabaster scepter capped with an incarnadine glass orb in her leather quiver.

Yardie comes out of hiding.

Yardie removes a wickedly sharp argent vultite katar traced with mithglin from in his ebon leather thigh-sheath.

Blades just arrived.

A shimmering aura surrounds Akenna.

A faint blue glow surrounds Akenna's hands.

In a brisk move, Yardie slides a wide aureate golvern buckler etched with a crimson-stained moon off his shoulder.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Ralkean joins Talliver's group.

Blades folds his arms over his chest.

Jaysehn says, "Well....you can see its a mess. The volcano blew. Mostly children and elderly made it past this bridge."

A deep growl rumbles in Nalver's chest as he slices his hand through the air, cutting invisible runes.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Meril pulls the cords of her doeskin pouch tight and slides its mistwood clasp up to cinch it closed.

Nalver gestures.

Nalver hurls a large boulder at himself!

  AS: +335 vs DS: +397 with AvD: +39 + d100 roll: +17 = -6

   A clean miss.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Tayler turns to Nalver and cheers!

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Akenna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I said I would help the innocent, I will... but not Krolvin."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Blades waggles his fingers mystically at Gutstorm.  How nice.

Yardie put a wickedly sharp argent vultite katar traced with mithglin in his ebon leather thigh-sheath.

Nalver removes a sleek fireleaf staff topped with an elven skull impaled by a ki-lin horn from in his sandy brown harness.  At his touch, a number of sigils worked into its grain take on a faint luminescence.

Yardie deftly slides a wide aureate golvern buckler etched with a crimson-stained moon over his shoulder and it settles into place.

Ralkean carefully surveys his surroundings.

Jkarog says, "Give me a moment.  I have something that can help."

You notice your companion Yardie slip away into hiding.

Jastalyn begins chuckling at Jkarog!

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Lylia simply says, "No, but there are few of her skill and clarity of thought."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

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

Oishian begins to breathe less deeply.

The dim aura fades from around Oishian.

The powerful look leaves Oishian.

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

The dog suddenly turns and focuses its eyes upon Teaberry.

The layer of protection fades away.

The coppery barn owl circles lazily above.

Blades waggles his fingers mystically at Lylia.  How nice.

Blades reaches out and pulls a crystal tumbler of rye whiskey from thin air!

Dendum blinks at a black stone bridge.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

The voice of Yardie says, "We're saving children."

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Kontii just arrived.

Alosaka says, "Where are we, anyway? On the island, I mean."

Tayler asks, "Have we tried asking the volcano nicely to stop?"

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Talliver leadin if ya comin wit ush."

Jkarog says, "Inland."

The portal wavers and fluctuates unsettlingly.

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Akenna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "Children I will save."

Yardie adjusts his dark leather hunts to cushion his movements.

Dendum says, "We are near a path to the city."

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Blades nods at Bakarus.

Tayler says, speaking to Alosaka, "Near the city."

Bakarus nods at Blades.

Kontii carefully removes his grey shroud, his expression somber.  As he does, the air directly in front of him shimmers for a brief moment, and his eyes are locked on the effect until it fades away completely.

A black hawk flies in.

Kontii put a thin woven grey shroud embellished with muted crimson patterns in his black elven cloak.

The coppery barn owl circles lazily above.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

J>climb bridge

Akenna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "You know that."

The stone bridge appears to be closed.

Alosaka nods.

A sharp blue line traces its way through the air before you into the shape of a doorway, which opens to reveal a starlit blackness as vast and endless as the midnight sky.

Squire Alosaka just went south.

The starlit doorway pulses momentarily.

A pulse of intense blue light overwhelms the starlit doorway.  When the light recedes, the doorway is simply no longer there.

Dendum points at a black stone bridge.

Squire Alosaka just arrived.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

J>look door

I could not find what you were referring to.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Lylia says, speaking to Alosaka, "That bridge there leads farther into the cluster of hovels that passes for a village."

Squire Alosaka just went south.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Jaysehn nods understandingly at Akenna.

Gutstorm observes the burning bridge.

(Raelee idly tosses a ball of ice into the lava, merely to watch it evaporate.)

Jaysehn says, speaking to Akenna, "I know. Of course, I do."

The viridian hummingbird emits a delicate trill-like sound.

J>search

Jkarog draws a sharpened fingertip across his own palm, awakening a line of dark blue blood.  He stalks around the group in a circle, scribing a shape in the dust underfoot as he drips blood onto the soil.  There is a change in the air, as if power thrums on the very breeze.

You don't find anything of interest here.

Roundtime: 3 sec.

Nalver says, "Cast phase at it until the fires go out."

Blades glances at a black stone bridge.

[Glaoveln, Seething Flats - ] (u4426301)

Spanning an infernal fissure flooded with molten rock, a black stone bridge strains toward the more solid ground of the coastal cliffs to the south.  Noxious gases roil up from the chasm's depths and hang in low, unsavory banks of fog over the scorched landscape.  Clouds of toxic smoke fill the air, their underbellies illuminated by the rivers of lava threading through the flats like veins of liquid fire.  You also see a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur, the Trisscar disk and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Shale Rise - ] (u4426302)

An ancient shale boulder, painstakingly shaped by the river that once wound through the region, provides a vantage of the blasted plain.  Far to the north, a foreboding city with crude stone walls sprawls atop a grim plateau.  East of the vestige of habitation, a black mountain scrapes at the sky, streaks of lava illuminating its slopes.  Its peak is a shattered ruin that belches clouds of smoke and ash onto the tortured lands below.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava River - ] (u4426303)

Air warps and shimmers over the wide body of a lava flow.  The deadly flood of molten rock surges sluggishly down the bed of a river that once occupied the plains.  All that remains of the lost body of water is its imprint on the earth.  Vegetation is sparse and brown, the life choked from it by the oppressive heat and the scalding gases that sweep across the tormented plain.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Talliver's group just went southwest.

[Seething Flats, Lava Pools - ] (u4426304)

Treacherous expanses of partially cooled lava lurk along the path, no longer aglow with heat but not yet solid enough to support meaningful weight.  They are indistinguishable from the ridges and swirls of more solid basalt deposited by the continuing pyroclasm that has consumed the surrounding plain.  Pools of lava bubble and churn, fed by constant upheavals beneath the wounded earth.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Lake - ] (u4426305)

A narrow thread of solid ground winds close to the shores of a lake of lava.  Superheated smoke rises in choking billows from the slowly churning expanse, stinking of sulphur and molten metal.  Tiny islands of igneous rock dot the surface, but cracks of lava seethe between them, threatening their brief span of stability.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Pools - ] (u4426306)

Lava seethes from cracks in the tortured earth near the narrow ribbon of stable ground.  Gouts of black smoke and superheated steam accompany the glowing, molten rock, commingling to fill the air with a sharp, metallic tang.  Flakes of ash swirl like snowflakes in the hot breeze, pirouetting and dancing as if oblivious to the land's torment.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Broken Earth - ] (u4426307)

A vast expanse of basalt breaches out of the earth, broken free and knocked askew by the churning of the magma below.  Pools of molten lava lap at the edges of the great rock, threatening to consume it.  Clouds swirl overhead, agitated by the fury of the ongoing pyroclasm.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Fallen Totems - ] (u4426308)

Several spars of basalt lie in a broken tumble, the standing stones toppled by the shaking of the shiftless earth.  Carved with symbols and shapes, they are worn almost smooth by the years and the ungentle caress of the winds.  Several are half-buried in drifts of falling ash, and risk being lost to view entirely.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Barge - ] (u4426309)

Lying on its side in a dried-up riverbed, a fishing barge has surrendered to the surrounding cataclysm.  With its cabin crushed by a huge black pyroclast, the boat would be useless even if it were near to water, but none is in sight, the river's flow having been disrupted by the convulsions of the earth.  Char mars the intact wood of the hull in patterns reminiscent of grasping talons.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Crater - ] (u4426310)

Shimmers of heat warp the air over a smoking crater brimming with roiling lava.  Gases and smoke pour off of the surface in choking billows heavy-laden with gritty ash.  Cajoled by the hot winds screaming over the flats, the smoke twists and twitches into strange, ominous shapes as it drifts skyward.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Fumaroles - ] (u4426311)

A dull roar in the air clashes with the screeching of the wind, as if the earth is moaning in desperation.  The sound emanates from dozens of gashes in the earth, from which erupt billows of hot, sulphurous steam.  Beyond the odor of rotting eggs, the smell of molten rock is heavy on the air and inescapable.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Flows - ] (u4426312)

Lent speed by their travel down the slopes of an ash-clad mountain to the north, lava flows surge in glowing channels, eating runnels out of the shattered earth.  The narrowest of trails threads between the lethal rivulets, winding northeast toward a high plateau overlooking the devastation.  The stones underfoot rumble ceaselessly, as if the earth below had a thudding, racing heartbeat.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Talliver's group just went northeast.

[Seething Flats, Trail - ] (u4426313)

The trailway climbs toward higher ground, weaving through falling ash and around rivers of blazing lava.  To the west stands a mountain with a broken peak, one of several fountaining its fiery blood onto the lowlands.  Northward rises a vast plateau cloven in twain by a river of molten rock.  Winds carry the distant sounds of civilization, from the creak of carts to the cries of children, but they come in tantalizing snatches lost to the louder complaints of the earth.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Rise - ] (u4426314)

The roadway widens and refines its borders as it rises out of the suffering valley below.  Paved with dark stones, the road winds up toward the plateau above.  A vantage along the roadside provides a glimpse of the destruction below, which is as beautiful as it is terrible.  Streams of lava lay draped across the blackened land like glowing lariats, and fields of shattered obsidian glint harshly in the wan moonlight.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Switchbacks - ] (u4426315)

Dark paving stones frame a broad roadway that twists and turns with the jagged switchbacks mounting a spacious plateau.  High walls of rough-hewn basalt loom above, marking the borders of a foreboding city that occupies the flatland.  Though muted by the night, the buzz of the city seeps over the walls: the sound of distant weeping, the creak of a wagon wheel, and the scuffle of a bar fight echo off of the rock to either side of the road.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Switchbacks - ] (u4426316)

Dagger-sharp switchbacks climb toward the city atop the unforgiving plateau, the basalt walls casting long shadows over the road.  Veins of obsidian thread through the dark, porous rock, the volcanic glass glinting coldly in the starlight.  Near the lip of the plateau, the roadway is paved with wide dark stones and winds toward the gates of the city.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Approach - ] (u4426317)

Flakes of ash cling to the ground and waver in the sere winds roiling up from the volcanic flats below the plateau.  They dust wagons and stalls resting in the shadow of the city's basalt walls, which stretch imposingly toward the smoky skies.  Age-darkened whalebone inlay set into the walls depicts nautical scenes and no small amount of bloodshed.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Conquerors' Gate - ] (u4426318)

Framed and inlaid with scrimshawed whalebone, a reinforced gate of black spruce guards the entrance into the city.  High watchtowers loom over the entry, their crenellated crowns occupied by krolvin sentries armed with heavy arbalests.  Traffic flows through the gates in a clattering press of wagons and aurochs-drawn carts, perfuming the air with a bewildering melange of exotic spices, musk, and road dust.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

The villager glances at Pertyc, seemingly waiting for something.

Talliver says, "All right, back to the beach."

[Glaoveln Road, Approach - ] (u4426317)

Flakes of ash cling to the ground and waver in the sere winds roiling up from the volcanic flats below the plateau.  They dust wagons and stalls resting in the shadow of the city's basalt walls, which stretch imposingly toward the smoky skies.  Age-darkened whalebone inlay set into the walls depicts nautical scenes and no small amount of bloodshed.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Switchbacks - ] (u4426316)

Dagger-sharp switchbacks climb toward the city atop the unforgiving plateau, the basalt walls casting long shadows over the road.  Veins of obsidian thread through the dark, porous rock, the volcanic glass glinting coldly in the starlight.  Near the lip of the plateau, the roadway is paved with wide dark stones and winds toward the gates of the city.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Switchbacks - ] (u4426315)

Dark paving stones frame a broad roadway that twists and turns with the jagged switchbacks mounting a spacious plateau.  High walls of rough-hewn basalt loom above, marking the borders of a foreboding city that occupies the flatland.  Though muted by the night, the buzz of the city seeps over the walls: the sound of distant weeping, the creak of a wagon wheel, and the scuffle of a bar fight echo off of the rock to either side of the road.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln Road, Rise - ] (u4426314)

The roadway widens and refines its borders as it rises out of the suffering valley below.  Paved with dark stones, the road winds up toward the plateau above.  A vantage along the roadside provides a glimpse of the destruction below, which is as beautiful as it is terrible.  Streams of lava lay draped across the blackened land like glowing lariats, and fields of shattered obsidian glint harshly in the wan moonlight.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Trail - ] (u4426313)

The trailway climbs toward higher ground, weaving through falling ash and around rivers of blazing lava.  To the west stands a mountain with a broken peak, one of several fountaining its fiery blood onto the lowlands.  Northward rises a vast plateau cloven in twain by a river of molten rock.  Winds carry the distant sounds of civilization, from the creak of carts to the cries of children, but they come in tantalizing snatches lost to the louder complaints of the earth.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Flows - ] (u4426312)

Lent speed by their travel down the slopes of an ash-clad mountain to the north, lava flows surge in glowing channels, eating runnels out of the shattered earth.  The narrowest of trails threads between the lethal rivulets, winding northeast toward a high plateau overlooking the devastation.  The stones underfoot rumble ceaselessly, as if the earth below had a thudding, racing heartbeat.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Fumaroles - ] (u4426311)

A dull roar in the air clashes with the screeching of the wind, as if the earth is moaning in desperation.  The sound emanates from dozens of gashes in the earth, from which erupt billows of hot, sulphurous steam.  Beyond the odor of rotting eggs, the smell of molten rock is heavy on the air and inescapable.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Crater - ] (u4426310)

Shimmers of heat warp the air over a smoking crater brimming with roiling lava.  Gases and smoke pour off of the surface in choking billows heavy-laden with gritty ash.  Cajoled by the hot winds screaming over the flats, the smoke twists and twitches into strange, ominous shapes as it drifts skyward.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Barge - ] (u4426309)

Lying on its side in a dried-up riverbed, a fishing barge has surrendered to the surrounding cataclysm.  With its cabin crushed by a huge black pyroclast, the boat would be useless even if it were near to water, but none is in sight, the river's flow having been disrupted by the convulsions of the earth.  Char mars the intact wood of the hull in patterns reminiscent of grasping talons.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Fallen Totems - ] (u4426308)

Several spars of basalt lie in a broken tumble, the standing stones toppled by the shaking of the shiftless earth.  Carved with symbols and shapes, they are worn almost smooth by the years and the ungentle caress of the winds.  Several are half-buried in drifts of falling ash, and risk being lost to view entirely.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Broken Earth - ] (u4426307)

A vast expanse of basalt breaches out of the earth, broken free and knocked askew by the churning of the magma below.  Pools of molten lava lap at the edges of the great rock, threatening to consume it.  Clouds swirl overhead, agitated by the fury of the ongoing pyroclasm.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Pools - ] (u4426306)

Lava seethes from cracks in the tortured earth near the narrow ribbon of stable ground.  Gouts of black smoke and superheated steam accompany the glowing, molten rock, commingling to fill the air with a sharp, metallic tang.  Flakes of ash swirl like snowflakes in the hot breeze, pirouetting and dancing as if oblivious to the land's torment.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Seething Flats, Lava Lake - ] (u4426305)

A narrow thread of solid ground winds close to the shores of a lake of lava.  Superheated smoke rises in choking billows from the slowly churning expanse, stinking of sulphur and molten metal.  Tiny islands of igneous rock dot the surface, but cracks of lava seethe between them, threatening their brief span of stability.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Treacherous expanses of partially cooled lava lurk along the path, no longer aglow with heat but not yet solid enough to support meaningful weight.

Pools of lava bubble and churn, fed by constant upheavals beneath the wounded earth.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Jaysehn stows his eahnor cresset sword in his white faewood scabbard with a flash of holy white fire.  A brief shimmer of Liabo-hued light erupts from inside the scabbard along with a muffled shriek.

Dendum searches around for a moment.

The viridian hummingbird darts sharply towards the ground, her jewel-like body flashing in the ambient light.  At the last possible moment, she drops daintily to the ground and folds her tiny wings to her back.

Air warps and shimmers over the wide body of a lava flow.  The deadly flood of molten rock surges sluggishly down the bed of a river that once occupied the plains.

[Seething Flats, Shale Rise - ] (u4426302)

An ancient shale boulder, painstakingly shaped by the river that once wound through the region, provides a vantage of the blasted plain.  Far to the north, a foreboding city with crude stone walls sprawls atop a grim plateau.  East of the vestige of habitation, a black mountain scrapes at the sky, streaks of lava illuminating its slopes.  Its peak is a shattered ruin that belches clouds of smoke and ash onto the tortured lands below.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Glaoveln, Seething Flats - ] (u4426301)

Spanning an infernal fissure flooded with molten rock, a black stone bridge strains toward the more solid ground of the coastal cliffs to the south.  Noxious gases roil up from the chasm's depths and hang in low, unsavory banks of fog over the scorched landscape.  Clouds of toxic smoke fill the air, their underbellies illuminated by the rivers of lava threading through the flats like veins of liquid fire.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

The black hawk circles lazily above.

Raelee agrees, speaking to Akenna, "It is.  A violent blend of fire and earth, bursting forth amongst the ice."

A stormy grey lynx emits a surprisingly deep growl!

Akenna nods at Raelee.

A flaming boulder the size of a house plummets to the ground not more than a few yards away, sending up sprays of stone and earth!

Blades gazes up into the heavens.

Jaysehn scowls darkly, angrily muttering a series of vowel heavy, indecipherable words.

Perigourd leans to his left slightly.

The voice of Yardie exclaims, "Hey!!"

Talliver's group just went across a black stone bridge.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Bridge - ] (u4426216)

Though no less fierce, the wind loses its wintry chill as the road reaches a narrow fissure spanned by a black stone bridge.  Dozens of feet down, lava surges sluggishly, giving off an overwhelming odor of molten metal.  Waves of heat wash up from the breach, distorting the air around the bridge in a way that makes the tenebrous expanse seem to dance and shift.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426215)

Warmth lingers over the roadway despite the efforts of the whistling wind.  Wafting gases from the north lend a faint, unpleasant odor to the surroundings, but stunted pines and several scraggly junipers heavy-laden with berries seem to thrive in the temperate span.  Smoke trails across the sky, belching from a lava-drenched mountain far in the distance.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426214)

Dipping down between two low hills, the road's constant undulations begin to flatten.  Crippled by a broken wheel, an ash-covered wagon stands abandoned by the roadside, denuded of its contents.  Whatever beasts of burden bore it have been cut free.  Scorch marks riddle the wooden bed.  The wagon has been deserted for long enough that grasses and patches of wildflowers have sprung up within the shelter of its shadow.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426213)

The ebb and flow of the surf is but a distant whisper, having ceded ground to the music of alpine birdsong and the susurrus of cold wind through the alpine meadows.  Mountains loom in the northeast, the jagged volcanic peaks a study in opposites.  Some are black shadows in the night, but one, taller than the rest, weeps a constant flow of lava as if its peak were an open wound.  Even in the night, it is bathed balefully in the infernal light of its seething lava flows.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426212)

The road swerves around snowy hills as it slowly descends toward flatland.  Rich volcanic soil has given rise to vegetation as abundant as it is hardy.  Grasses in waves of red and green cascade down the hillsides.  Seemingly heedless of the snow, bright-colored flowers peek their heads out of the groundcover in vivid patches of violet, periwinkle, and fuschia.  The mountains in the distance are jagged, white-capped, and severe by comparison.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Boulder - ] (u4426211)

As it crests a grassy hilltop dotted with snow, the roadway splits at a round black boulder.  The stone is taller than most of the scant trees dotting the landscape.  Eastward the road rambles, widening as it makes a descent toward volcanic flats in the far distance.  A smaller trail winds off to the northwest before it is lost in a small alpine meadow.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

A few larches and hoarbeams cluster together as if conspiring to break the incessant gale, but they can only charitably be described as a stand of trees.  Yellowing needles scatter over the road.  The trail continues to climb as the briny bite of the sea slowly surrenders to the fresh scents of evergreens and loam.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Inland Road - ] (u4426209)

Retreating from the bluffs, the trail widens into a well-trodden road that rises and falls over a series of coastal hills.  Rich, fertile soil has given rise to an abundance of dusty red tundra grasses that ripple and wave in the freezing gale.  Trees dot the landscape, but none are of significant height, for their trunks are stunted by the constant battering of the elements.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426208)

The trail veers sharply inland as the bluffs grow unstable, undermined by the ebb and flow of the icy tide with no beach to protect their base.  To either side of the path, tundra grasses grow thick on the tops of earthen humps deposited by the wild wind, looking like colorful tufts of scraggly hair.  Glistening white drifts, the product of recent snows, are scattered across the harsh landscape.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426207)

The beach far below the cliffs narrows to a sliver of dark sand.  Sharp jags of igneous rock breach up through the sand like crooked black fangs.  Even the islands off the shore are cruel expanses of craggy rock, suited for habitation only by barnacles and the occasional sea birds.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Monument - ] (u4426206)

A monument of age-darkened ivory stands to the side of the road.  The old scrimshaw illuminating its carved surface still possesses a rich cobalt hue that is unfaded by the passage of sunny days and cruel nights.  It rests in the shadows of short, crooked evergreens, red grasses growing thick at its base.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426205)

A stand of wind-stunted trees hangs back from the cliffside trailway, stooped under the weight of glistening snow.  They are a ragged collection of pine and alder and larch, and in their shadows, tundra grasses flourish.  A thin thread of woodsmoke beckons on the wintry breeze, but it is mostly masked by the pungence of evergreen sap.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Lone Alder - ] (u4426204)

The cliffside road diverges, climbing toward an overlook to the northwest and proceeding eastward to follow the bend of the bluffs.  Small stones and gravel clatter down the rock face, lending a clacking percussion to the music of the sea birds and the tides.  A brave alder tree, stunted and growing askew, leans out over the land's edge as if peeking out over the dizzying drop to the beach below.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Diverging from the even straightness of the cliff's edge, a grassy promontory juts southward to loom over the waters of the Frostmain.  At its southernmost tip stands a lighthouse built from local stone, the details of the weathered old building lost to the intervening distance.  Kittiwakes wheel overhead on currents of icy air, their brazen cries punctuating the dull roar of the far-off surf.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Promontory - ] (u4426217)

Hardy grasses sprout along the edges of the icy ebon cliffs, protruding roots shivering in the cold wind.  The roar of the surf echoes up the flat cliff faces to either side of the narrow promontory, amplified into a thunderous rumble that ebbs and flows with the crashing tide.  A ribbon of well-trodden path strikes through the whipping tundra grasses.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

The footpath winds toward the end of the promontory and the edifice that oversees it.

The roar of the surf echoes up the flat cliff faces to either side of the narrow promontory, amplified into a thunderous rumble that ebbs and flows with the crashing tide.  A ribbon of well-trodden path strikes through the whipping tundra grasses.  You also see a sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail and obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426203)

Diverging from the even straightness of the cliff's edge, a grassy promontory juts southward to loom over the waters of the Frostmain.  At its southernmost tip stands a lighthouse built from local stone, the details of the weathered old building lost to the intervening distance.  Kittiwakes wheel overhead on currents of icy air, their brazen cries punctuating the dull roar of the far-off surf.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Lone Alder - ] (u4426204)

The cliffside road diverges, climbing toward an overlook to the northwest and proceeding eastward to follow the bend of the bluffs.  Small stones and gravel clatter down the rock face, lending a clacking percussion to the music of the sea birds and the tides.  A brave alder tree, stunted and growing askew, leans out over the land's edge as if peeking out over the dizzying drop to the beach below.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Talliver's group just went east.

[Scrimshaw Cliffs, Trail - ] (u4426205)

A stand of wind-stunted trees hangs back from the cliffside trailway, stooped under the weight of glistening snow.  They are a ragged collection of pine and alder and larch, and in their shadows, tundra grasses flourish.  A thin thread of woodsmoke beckons on the wintry breeze, but it is mostly masked by the pungence of evergreen sap.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Oishian, Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Jkarog, Roelon, Grand Lord Balzi, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Jastalyn, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Bilfords, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie who is hiding, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar, Seaward Gutstorm, Kontii, Talliver

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in.

Talliver's group just went down a switchback road.

[Grim Sands, Chasm - ] (u4426025)

Deep in the chasm between two cliff faces, the pathway refines into a switchback road that climbs to the top of the bluffs.  Slick from the cold and the damp, the igneous rock has been scattered with gravel to provide better footholds.  The pounding of the surf is a distant, even roar that echoes oddly off of the surrounding stone.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Cliff Base - ] (u4426023)

Approaching the base of the cliffs, the pathway splits, with one branch curving along their base to the east.  The other travels northward up a chasm between high bluffs, climbing precipitously as it goes.  Red grasses grow in profusion, sheltered from the worst of the wind by the rising land.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Talliver's group just went southwest.

[Grim Sands, Sandy Ridge - ] (u4426022)

Winding drunkenly, the path passes beneath the shadow of a bluff hundreds of feet overhead.  Atop it stands a stone lighthouse that can be glimpsed from several vantage points along the ridge.  Murres have nested in the cragged rock face below the old stalwart and fill the sea air with their throaty cries.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Talliver's group just went south.

[Grim Sands, Sandy Ridge - ] (u4426021)

The path climbs onerously toward black cliffs in the distance, aided on its way by rough-carved steps hewn out of the dark stone of the sandy ridge.  Sea birds circle above, dark shapes against the starry blackness of the sky.  Their cries echo off of the surrounding rocks, filling the air with a shrill cacophony.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426009)

A low ridge of igneous rock breaches out of the sands.  Crude steps have been cut out of it to ease the climb toward a trail that meanders northward on a hesitant approach to the looming stone cliffs overlooking the beach.  Snow and dried kelp are heaped around the base of the ridge, deposited by storm and sea.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426010)

Rolling banks of black sand shield the upper shoreline from the relentless assault of the surf.  The low dunes are dotted with splintered fragments of smooth white driftwood and thick clumps of dark seaweed.  Salt stings sharply on the frigid air.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Altar - ] (u4426011)

Spent tallow candles huddle together atop a blue-green seaglass altar that has been erected just beyond the reach of the highest tides.  The monument is obviously old, its edges worn smooth and its base half-buried in the sand.  Several tokens lie in a heap of kelp before it, coins, bits of scrimshawed bone, and copper jewelry commingling freely in the bed of rubbery seaweed.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Shoreline - ] (u4426012)

The gelid air is filled with the sharp tang of brine, an odor intensified by the heaps of seaweed strewn across the black beach.  Several seals laze on the rocks of an island just off the shore, their barks and brays traveling on the stiff breeze.  Though not especially distant, the intervening waters are violent, cold, and dark.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Longboats - ] (u4426013)

Several small vessels have been dragged past the high water line.  One, an overturned longboat, has been scraped clean of barnacles and is slathered with fresh patches of pine tar.  A well-worn pathway parallels the bend of the shoreline as it travels to the east.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

[Grim Sands, Dock - ] (u4426014)

Dark and forbidding, a sturdy wooden dock rules over a small bay sheltered by the curve of the isle's coastline.  The pilings are old, their upper halves stained with the droppings of sea birds; the lower encrusted with barnacles.  Deprived the fury of the tides, the waters of the bay lap languorously at the wood.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship and obvious signs of someone hiding.

=Back on the Wyrm returning to Icemule=

Talliver's group just went through a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

[The White Wyrm, Gangway - ] (u12101101)

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank and obvious signs of someone hiding.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

Barking happily, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur scrambles into the room.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Whew."

Jaysehn says, "I'll sail this way once we are back in Icemule if any want to come. Some smaller craft may be adrift at sea."

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Yussof's Big Buzzing Boat!"

Dendum says, "Ahh good."

Extending her head, the viridian hummingbird displays her gorget and spreads her tailfeathers.

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

Yussof seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.

Perigourd nods at Jaysehn.

Pertyc sighs.

Alosaka says, "Let's not dally too long."

Trisscar softly says, "We aren't out yet, we need to go."

A call goes out, echoing through the ship:  "Tie down the cargo and get to your stations!  We're departing for Icemule Trace!"

Missoni says, speaking softly to Jkarog, "It must be difficult to leave your home this way."

Gutstorm just tried to pull a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Dendum reaches out and pats a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Going to Icemule Trace?!"

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

You nod.

Yussof gasps.

The red-gold web of protection surrounding a lazy wild white dog falls away, unraveling as it fades.

You say, speaking heartily to Yussof, "Yes we are."

Lylia shifts her eyes to Yussof.

The viridian hummingbird flies in short, rapid arcs through the air.

Jaysehn removes an uncut hexagonal crimson beryl from in his mahogany map tube.

Balzi carefully secures his hasta to his harness.

Balzi shrugs a shoulder and slides the red steel mantlet against his back.  The once energetic surface of the red steel mantlet visibly darkens.

The viridian hummingbird suddenly rises into the air, her jeweled wings becoming a blur of movement.

The voice of Yardie says, "You're being rescued.  Respectfully speaking, you don't make requests at this juncture."

Several crewmen hasten by, checking that everything is made fast for departure.

Jaysehn whispers something to Akenna.

Jaysehn offers Akenna an uncut hexagonal crimson beryl.

Jastalyn softly says, "We left one behind..."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Who?"

You say, speaking heartily to Yussof, "Not sure if you understand common. But Icemule is this airship's destination."

Roelon flails his arms about.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Why is voice talking from behind Yussof?"

Perigourd cocks his head at Jastalyn.

The shimmering aura fades from around Akenna.

The faint blue glow fades from around Akenna's hands.

A shimmering aura surrounds Akenna.

The viridian hummingbird flits back and forth, her wings moving in rapid figure eights.

A faint blue glow surrounds Akenna's hands.

Akenna accepts Jaysehn's crimson beryl.

Yussof searches around for a moment.

The viridian hummingbird flies in short, rapid arcs through the air.

Akenna raises an eyebrow.

Jastalyn softly says, "Randsford."

You notice your companion Yardie emerge from hiding nearby.

Alosaka winces.

Yardie says, speaking to Yussof, "Force of habit."

With a near-silent whisper invoking fire and ash, Raelee's lor staff vanishes from her hands in a sinuous helix of white flames, only to rematerialize in her leather staff sling!

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oh, we he be dokay."

Akenna offers Jaysehn an uncut hexagonal crimson beryl.

Gutstorm knowingly grunts.

Perigourd furrows his brow.

Jaysehn accepts Akenna's crimson beryl.

Tayler says, speaking to Jastalyn, "Well, I hope he is a strong swimmer."

Jaysehn put an uncut hexagonal crimson beryl in his mahogany map tube.

Kelfyr gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid...

Kelfyr gestures into the air.

Kelfyr momentarily gets a faroff look in his eyes, and then returns to normal.

Gutstorm forms several angular gestures while chanting rumbling phrases of power in the Dwarven tongue...

Yardie says, speaking to Yussof, "Any form of safety will do you all some good."

J>look yuss

You look at Yussof, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Yussof, the Krolvin Grifter.

He is average height.  He appears to be long in the tooth.  He has brooding dark sea green eyes and milky-blue fur.  He has long, greasy black hair worn in a ponytail.  He has a triangular face, a flat nose and bushy sideburns.

He is wearing a tattered dark oilskin rucksack, some weathered indigo full leathers, a lacquered ebonwood jig, a skull-clasped bone tackle box, a pale grey eelskin bait pouch, a stained thrak hide sheath, a pair of short sailcloth leggings, and some dark blue square-toed shoes.

The raven pecks at the ground.

Gutstorm gestures into the air.

Gutstorm momentarily gets a faroff look in his eyes, and then returns to normal.

Gutstorm chuckles.

Kelfyr says, "He's at the Jetty."

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Is loud boat.  Buzzes like large wasp."

Blades cocks his head at Yussof.

Blades shrugs.

You chuckle.

Alosaka says, "The gangplank is still down... he could just join us."

Yardie says, speaking to Yussof, "It does.  But it is safe."

Blades removes a crystal tumbler of rye whiskey from in his sharkskin duster.

You heartily say, "A little like bit."

Lylia rubs her pewter earring.

You nod.

Dendum laughs!

Jastalyn just went through a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Raelee glances around the room.

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Blades looks rather relaxed.

The black hawk hops around the room.

Tayler says, "I saw Japhrimel and Nuadjha swing down from an Airship once, perhaps someone can swing down and grab him."

Dendum says, "Lithyia did say she was going to throw that one to the Krolvin."

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Now we mishin 2."

Raelee asks, speaking to Xorus, "... did you sense it?  The mana flows?"

Kontii thoughtfully says, "Always room in the Honeybeer Inn.... Nice cozy tap room too. I'm always happy to sponsor a little food."

Jastalyn just arrived.

Queatus grins at Dendum.

Kontii shrugs.

Xorus nods.

Jaysehn frowns.

Lilanna glances at Dendum.

Gutstorm forms several angular gestures while chanting rumbling phrases of power in the Dwarven tongue...

Lord Randsford just arrived.

Lilanna peers quizzically at Jastalyn.

Randsford pants.

Gutstorm gestures at Randsford.

Lilanna pulls on Randsford, trying to get him closer.

Dendum holds his sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh.

Jastalyn pulls on Randsford, trying to get him closer.

Akenna looks lost in thought.

A battered krolvin villager just wandered in, following Randsford.

A battered krolvin villager glances about and begins to relax wandered off.

Pertyc says, "He is likely confused on the route back to the ship."

Gutstorm waves to Randsford.

Roelon nods at Randsford.

Raelee says, speaking to Xorus, "They were quite orderly.  Unusually so for an elemental event of such... intensity and violence."

Randsford says, "Had to get the last one."

Trisscar ponders.

Randsford chuckles.

Lilanna gives Randsford a friendly hug.

Jastalyn gives Randsford a friendly hug.

Jaysehn asks, "Do you suppose that storm could linger? Is that the birth of a flow storm?"

Alosaka nods at Randsford.

Jastalyn nods.

You heartily say, "White Haven can put up a few of the Refugees too there are some rooms available in there."

Jastalyn softly asks, "Are we missing anyone?"

Gutstorm slurs, speaking drunkenly to Randsford, "No way we leaf witoutcha."

Light seethes from the bulkheads, suffusing the air with power as the ship comes to life like a waking giant.

Randsford flashes Lilanna a wolfish grin.

Raelee glances around the room.

Jkarog frowns at Randsford.

Queatus says, speaking to Randsford, "Thought you musta met a nice krolvin lass."

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Goodbye island!"

Randsford chuckles.

Jkarog says, speaking to Randsford, "You risked yourself for one of us."

Randsford says, "No just some older fellow."

Randsford grins.

Missoni tilts her head down.

Yardie says, "So much for the conversation of whether or not to bring them in.  I do hope that this goes well."

Oishian says, speaking to Raelee, "I thought, with as wild as it looked, we might see elementals."

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Randsford, "Saved me from havin' to sail back here."

Jastalyn grins.

Roelon grins at Randsford.

Queatus grins.

Randsford nods slowly at Jkarog.

Raelee says, speaking to Xorus, "... we had postulated that this eruption may not have been entirely natural, but having seen it now, sensed it..."

Jaysehn frowns.

Randsford says, speaking to Jkarog, "Why we are here."

Raelee says, speaking to Xorus, "... I believe that to be correct."

Yussof barks loudly, then again in a more subdued voice to express his wonderment.

Kelfyr agrees with Randsford.

Trisscar smiles Randford

Gutstorm barks wildly at Yussof!

Trisscar smiles at Randsford.

Xorus nods at Raelee.

Randsford hugs Jastalyn, who wraps him in a warm embrace.

"Withdraw the plank," comes the first mate's cry.

A one-eyed crewman lumbers in and withdraws a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Randsford says, speaking to Jastalyn, "My hero."

Randsford grins at Jastalyn.

Jastalyn smiles at Randsford.

Raelee mentions, speaking to Roelon, "As we discussed previously."

Yussof emits a noise that is a combination of laughter and barking, his eyes trained on Gutstorm and full of amusement.

Raelee nods at Roelon.

Jastalyn softly says, "Hardly."

Jastalyn chuckles.

Missoni looks thoughtfully at Raelee.

Roelon nods at Raelee.

You ponder.

Raelee runs her cloth-wrapped hands through her copper red hair, momentarily drawing her long tresses from her snow white eyes.

Randsford says, "Would have been wandering if not for you."

Teaberry hugs Jastalyn, who wraps her in a warm embrace.

Randsford just nudged Jastalyn.

Jastalyn hugs Teaberry, who wraps her in a warm embrace.

Jastalyn smiles.

Missoni asks, speaking to Raelee, "What do you think the...purpose might have been?"

Raelee says, "I cannot speculate on a source, however.  We need more time with it."

Randsford says, "Let's take flight before things get any worse."

Gutstorm grunts at Yussof in agreement.

Jaysehn frowns.

Randsford nods encouragingly at Talliver.

Talliver nods at Randsford.

You heartily say, "I didn't see any non-krolvin."

Lylia gazes with interest at Raelee.

Talliver says, "I couldn't agree more."

A grizzled porcupine grunts hungrily at Magnasco!

Raelee says, speaking to Missoni, "A purposeful disruption of Glaoveln?  The possible reasons are numerous."

Kelfyr gives the grizzled porcupine a little poke between the shoulder blades.  The porcupine turns his gaze toward Kelfyr.

Kontii leans down and calls to the silver fox, who canters eagerly up to him.  The fox stands up on her haunches, allowing Kontii to slide one arm under her belly.  Kontii draws her in against his side and lifts her up.

Kelfyr grabs a large cinnamon muffin from a concealed velvet-lined pocket inside of his gabardine cloak.

The raven ruffles his feathers.

Timbers creak and the engines shiver the hull as the airship lifts from the ground and climbs into the skies!

Kelfyr feeds a grizzled porcupine a bite of his cinnamon muffin.

Missoni nods in agreement.

Kelfyr tucks a large cinnamon muffin into a concealed velvet-lined pocket inside of his gabardine cloak.

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

Talliver says, "I'm headed to the bridge.  Hold fast.  This could be bumpy."

Dendum says, "Migration of the fleet would disrupt the west."

Talliver's group just went west.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101102)

Evenly lit by glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead, the intersection of the main deck is narrow.  Veniom filaments travel along the bulkheads, which are made of teak and reinforced with pale imflass the color of fog.  They fan out from a hatch to the west that is also the source of the low, rumbling thrum that pulses through the deck.  At the northern end of the corridor, a reinforced hoarbeam door carved with a rampant mule is stationed at the center of the bulkhead.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Oishian, Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Jkarog, Roelon, Grand Lord Balzi, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Bilfords, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar, Seaward Gutstorm, Kontii, Talliver

Obvious exits: east, south

Tabubu quietly says, "Somehow, I think they have been through this before."

Jaysehn slowly empties his lungs.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

A black hawk flies in and lands on the floor.

Talliver's group just went south.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101103)

Toward the fore of the ship, the main deck widens.  Crates and supplies are stacked along the bulkheads, secured to them by hooks and sturdy hempen ropes, save around the base of a pale metal ladder that leads to the upper deck.  They leave sufficient space to access crew quarters through a narrow archway in the eastern wall.  Heavily reinforced with golvern, a riveted imflass hatch leads toward the ship's bridge.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Oishian, Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Jkarog, Roelon, Grand Lord Balzi, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Bilfords, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar, Seaward Gutstorm, Kontii, Talliver

Obvious exits: north

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

The dog wanders over to Balzi and sniffs at him suspiciously for a moment.

Akenna says, "The power unleashed in an eruption... that's a lot of power to harness."

Barking happily, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur scrambles into the room.

The coppery barn owl hoots at Kelfyr.

Talliver's group just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

[The White Wyrm, Bridge - ] (u12101105)

The ship's bridge is sealed off from the rest of the ship by a riveted imflass hatch that is reinforced with golvern.  Curving along with the forward bulkhead, great windows provide the ship's bridge with a panoramic view and allow in daylight that melds with the even radiance of glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead.   Chairs fan out across the raised deck in a half-circle, secured by heavy bolts.  You also see a resplendent obsidian black raven that is flying around and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Oishian, Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Jkarog, Roelon, Grand Lord Balzi, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Bilfords, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar, Seaward Gutstorm, Kontii, Talliver

Obvious exits: none

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Oishian exclaims, "Oh, wow!"

A black hawk flies in and lands on the floor.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Kelfyr grabs a large cinnamon muffin from a concealed velvet-lined pocket inside of his gabardine cloak.

Tabubu quietly says, "I saw a depiction of such."

Barking happily, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur scrambles into the room.

Jaysehn nods.

Kelfyr says, "Yes, yes, ok."

J>look oishian

A vortex of air spins and whirls around Oishian.

You see Oishian the Windcaller.

He appears to be an Aelotoi of the Cyrtae'ni Clan.

He is average height.  He appears to be very young.  He has long-lashed pale colorless eyes and olive skin.  He has chin-length, wavy jet black hair with an unruly forelock dangling across his face.  He has an oval face, a classical nose and a generous mouth.  He has a pair of silver-hued wings.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a circular imflass aegis inlaid with arabesques of zydris zephyrs in his left hand.

He is wearing a colorful cloak dyed in a riot of polychromatic splotches from collar to hem, a quintuple orb brooch, a segmented dragonfly cloak brooch, a glaesine crystal dragonfly, a butterfly charm, a cobalt glass delphira stalk-shaped button that reads, "Kayse closed, and she'll do it again!", a blue-green paeline bandolier dangling multihued glaesine dragonfly charms over some dark flame-etched leathers, a tatted saephua of dark coral paeline lined in teal silk, a blue and green-winged dragonfly wristlet, a carved star ruby band, a soft blue velvet bag with thin silk silver cords, some fitted slate twill trousers, some ornate ora leg greaves, a coiled dark copper vine anklet set with gleaming opaline crystal thorns, a pair of polished sandals, and a forest green linen backpack.

Kelfyr feeds a pale-faced coppery barn owl the last of his cinnamon muffin.

Akenna says, "To...manipulate."

Kelfyr dusts off his hands.

Akenna shifts her weight.

Lylia nods at Tabubu.

J>look akenna

Flames dance around Akenna wreathing her in a torrent of violent energy.

You see Chancellor Akenna Laeraun-Ranshai the Officer of House Sylvanfair.

She appears to be an Elf.

She is of a slight height and has a spritely, small build.  She appears to be young.  She has sizable dark blue-green eyes and honey-freckled, creamy white skin.  She has long, deep sienna hair pulled back into a sleek bun and skewered through by a smooth wyrwood hairpin crowned with a single selanthan bloodjewel tine.  She has a cherubic face and petal pink, bow-shaped lips.  The ridges of her long, pointed ears each bear three naturally occurring notches, and a graceful aquamarine pattern climbs the left side of her neck, curls around her cheekbone, and splits into tendrils that encircle her left eye.  The left side of her profile is lit in a hazy light emanating from a radiant arathiel earcap.

She has rings of cobalt and aquamarine sigils inked on her left palm.

She is in good shape.

There is a small cyan-hazed icy sprite flying above her shoulder.

She is holding a glowing orase staff capped with a helix cradling a cobalt amber orb in her right hand.

She is wearing a short sable suede jacket, a wyrwood-hearted locket, a silver gryphon pin, a corset-laced kirtle of rich oxblood ramie with a low-cut sheer black silk chemise with trim sleeves underneath, a honeycomb-shaped ebonwood case inset with glass, some jet leather gloves with cut-out palms, an eahnor ring cradled in pale ora, and some deep black kidskin ankle-boots buttoned with selanthan bloodjewels.

Trisscar nods at Tabubu.

The dog paws at the ground, and its fur twitches and quivers for a moment.

Jaysehn says, "There was an inscription on the road....it seemed to show the destruction of the krolvin's home continent."

Raelee asks, speaking to Akenna, "The question is whether or not it would need to be harnessed... or was a catalyst all that was required?"

Lylia says, speaking to Tabubu, "I saw it too, a carved image warning of this. It reminded me of 'starvation stones.'."

Blades glances at a dark leather chair.

Trisscar says, speaking softly to Tabubu, "They faced a similar situation in their old homelands."

Blades walks over to the chair and settles down.

The shimmering aura fades from around Akenna.

The viridian hummingbird darts sharply towards the ground, her jewel-like body flashing in the ambient light.  At the last possible moment, she drops daintily to the ground and folds her tiny wings to her back.

The faint blue glow fades from around Akenna's hands.

A shimmering aura surrounds Akenna.

A faint blue glow surrounds Akenna's hands.

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Oishian just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Blades leans back.

Rain slaps against the hull of the ship, punctuated by the occasional clap of thunder.

The ship shakes as it climbs, struggling against the rapid changes in air pressure.  It rocks as thunder booms outside, dropping precipitously before beginning to climb again.

A small silver spider crawls over to your left upper arm.

Alosaka slowly empties his lungs.

The dog wanders over to Tayler and sniffs at him suspiciously for a moment.

Akenna says, speaking to Raelee, "With such a great force? It could definitely be a catalyst."

Missoni shifts her weight.

Teaberry asks, speaking to Lylia, "What are starvation stones?"

The shadowy black cat rubs up against the Lylia disk.

Jaysehn mutters under his breath.

Jkarog just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Kelfyr says, "Putting 'er to her paces today."

Raelee says, speaking to Akenna, "And then the volcano procedes as it would."

Akenna says, "For what though..."

Yardie removes a vanilla-tipped truffle from in his buffed leather pack.

Yardie takes a bite of his vanilla-tipped truffle.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Talliver, ye loan me dish bird ferra day or tree?"

Akenna frowns.

Gutstorm raises an eyebrow in Talliver's direction.

The shimmering multicolored sphere fades from around Perigourd.

The dog suddenly turns and focuses its eyes upon Lilanna.

Jkarog just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Raelee says, speaking to Akenna, "And I am, of course, speculating on that matter."

Blades says, "It might be a giant fireball shortly."

Lylia says, "Rocks left in streams and pools  to mark very low water levels. Usually they say something like, 'If you can read this, prepare for famine.' Or something more poetic."

Blades nods at Gutstorm.

Oishian just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Akenna nods at Raelee.

Jkarog says, "The other refugees are all secured."

The coppery barn owl hoots.

Tayler says, "Perhaps we should consider going above the storm, or below the storm, but not through the storm."

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

Extending her head, the viridian hummingbird displays her gorget and spreads her tailfeathers.

The rush of collective knowledge of the undead fades from your mind.

The black hawk cocks his head intelligently.



Gutstorm slurs, speaking drunkenly to Blades, "It me dream to fly one deez inta Icemool and shee how many halfalin me kin shent flyin inna air."

Lylia says, speaking to Teaberry, "In the desert, those pools are life itself, and if you saw the stones and read the warnings, you could hope to prepare for the worst to come."

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

The dog wanders over to Teaberry and sniffs at her suspiciously for a moment.

Teaberry says, speaking to Lylia, "Oh! Yes, that makes sense."

The silver fox in Kontii's arms squirms.

The air stops shimmering around Jkarog.

The air stops shimmering around Oishian.

Jkarog's spirits are no longer lifted.

Oishian's spirits are no longer lifted.

Alosaka nods at Lylia.

Blades says, "I could shoot you out of a cannon if you'd like."

Blades nods at Gutstorm.

Alosaka says, speaking to Lylia, "If a spring goes dry, it's time to move."

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Blades looks rather relaxed.

Glowing specks of dark brown energy begin to spin around Zeminar.

Gutstorm is admiring himself again.

Raelee asks, speaking abruptly to Talliver, "When can we return to the volcano?"

Zeminar looks considerably more imposing.

Lylia nods at Alosaka.

Teaberry mutters goodidea.

As the ship struggles to rise, it veers suddenly, and you see the northern reaches of the island consumed in a vast blaze.  Ships dot the waters, some badly damaged, but all limp away from the tortured isle.

The black hawk pecks at the ground.

Zeminar rubs his orb of ether, causing shadows to coalesce and enshroud him completely.

Lylia shifts her weight.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Raelee, "I'm sailing back tonight."

Kelfyr shakes his head.

The viridian hummingbird flies in short, rapid arcs through the air.

Jaysehn says, "Immediately, in fact."

Roelon shifts his weight.

Raelee asks, speaking to Jaysehn, "How close?"

Perigourd seems to lose an aura of confidence.

Yardie says, "So....some ships got away."

(Alosaka leans over the railing.)

Jaysehn says, "As close as I can get."

Tabubu turns her head slightly to the side and stares off into the distance, effectively ignoring her surroundings.

Roelon nods at Yardie.

Blades says, "Oh good, free loot on the seas."

Jaysehn says, "And those ships are why."

You agree with Yardie.

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

(Oishian goes to one of the windows and just stares out out the night sky, trying to take in the cataclysm taking place, again.)

The red and grey fox sits down, his bushy tail sweeping back and forth behind him.

Raelee appears less confident and fearless.

The silver fox in Kontii's arms squirms.

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

The viridian hummingbird suddenly rises into the air, her jeweled wings becoming a blur of movement.

Kontii pets a black-eared red and grey fox, which nuzzles his hand softly.

The viridian hummingbird emits a delicate trill-like sound.

Lord Randsford's group just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

Jastalyn softly says, "I mean the bridge in town."

Jaysehn says, "The Forstmain is not a large body of water. It should be a swift journey."

Yardie says, "There will be more krolvin in the seas.  Considering our history...I...fear what might happen."

Jastalyn softly says, "That bridge."

The shadowy black cat licks its right paw, seemingly oblivious to the world around it.

Jastalyn grins.

Randsford grins.

The brilliant aura fades away from Raelee.

Raelee appears less confident.

Randsford says, "Seems all our guests are safe for now."

Lady Nyaria just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

A fluffy red baby fox squirrel scurries into the room.

Yardie says, "But only time wil tell."

The dog gazes ahead blankly, seemingly oblivious to its surroundings.

Jaysehn whispers something to Akenna.

Trisscar nods at Randsford.

Lylia murmurs, speaking to Xorus, "This may have transformed Tyrrax from a chieftain to a beggar, hat in hand."

Nyaria quietly says, "There are a in quarters."

Randsford nods approvingly at Talliver.

You take a deep breath, and look around with renewed vigor.  It is good to be alive, and an adventurer in this land.

Jaysehn whispers something to Akenna.

Yussof just strode through a riveted imflass hatch.

Xorus nods at Lylia.

Akenna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I cannot believe I am saying this, because you know it isn't in me-- but those ships might have children on board and they may be fighting for survival.  You know better than anyone I like to send their ships to Charl, but I think tonight we should leave them be."

Yussof gives a sharp bark of greeting.

Randsford raises an eyebrow in Roelon's direction.

The black hawk cocks his head intelligently.

Nyaria beams happily at Yussof!

The air calms down around Raelee.

Dendum says, speaking to Yardie, ""The Krol are as much of the sea as the land...."

Blades says, "He can sell me his things then, cheap."

Blades nods at Lylia.

Trisscar quietly ponders, "We may get home soon, but there are a lot of other challenges to figure out now that we have made it."

Jaysehn says, speaking to Akenna, "Then we should at least see if they need aid."

Nyaria asks, speaking quietly to Yussof, "Others coming? or lingering?"

Perigourd says, speaking to Akenna, "The children were very frightened."

Perigourd nods somberly.

Nyaria gasps.

Lady Nyaria just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Jaysehn says, "I don't mean to fight tonight."

Trisscar softly adds, "Many are not going to be happy that we helped save them."

Missoni smiles at Akenna.

Akenna says, speaking to Perigourd, "I am certain they were."

A fluffy red baby fox squirrel scurries off.

The ship breaches into clear sky and its engines cease to labor, settling into a high-pitched whine.  Behind the vessel, the island smokes and shakes.

Akenna nods at Jaysehn.

Tayler nods at Lylia.

Akenna lets out a long, contemplative breath.

Yardie says, "I would think many of the children will have some deep trauma from these events."

Jaysehn says, "Bad joss to spill blood on a night like this."

A pale-faced coppery barn owl pecks at a few stray morsels.

Seaward Gutstorm just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Tabubu gazes up into the sky.

Tayler asks, speaking to Lylia, "Does his war fleet sail with him?"



Seaward Gutstorm just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

A loud bang echoes from up on the deck.

Trisscar nods at Yardie.

Perigourd tilts his head up.

Tayler glances up.

You gaze heavenward.

The viridian hummingbird darts sharply towards the ground, her jewel-like body flashing in the ambient light.  At the last possible moment, she drops daintily to the ground and folds her tiny wings to her back.

Gutstorm whistles tunelessly to himself.

Trisscar frowns.

A resplendent obsidian black raven seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.

Teaberry says, "I don't like that sound."

Gutstorm joins Talliver's group.

Akenna raises an eyebrow.

You heartily say, "Oh dear."

A resplendent obsidian black raven seems hesitant, looking unsure of himself.

The shimmering aura fades from around Akenna.

The faint blue glow fades from around Akenna's hands.

A shimmering aura surrounds Akenna.

Lylia says, in Faendryl, something you don't understand.

A faint blue glow surrounds Akenna's hands.

Talliver uneasily says, "That's normal."

Iridescent bubbles swirl from Ferghal's hands like effervescent cyclones before abruptly popping in unison.

Ferghal gestures.

The viridian hummingbird ruffles her feathers.

The shadowy black cat stares hungrily at a pale-faced coppery barn owl.

Blades chuckles.

Dendum nods once.

The black hawk squawks.

Roelon tilts his head up.

Yardie says, speaking to Lylia, "More than likely."

You close your eyes for a moment.

Tayler says, in Faendryl, something you don't understand.

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

Yussof yips a short bark that is immediately followed by a grunt of doubt.

Pertyc says, "I am not sure i am happy to rescue krolvin, but i helped to do it."

Rising over the hum of the engine, the mate's voice announces, "We're coming in for a landing!"

Tayler grins at Xorus.

Randsford squints.

The viridian hummingbird emits a delicate trill-like sound.

Dendum says, "Did that on the way to pinefar as well."

Talliver slowly empties his lungs.

Roelon narrows his eyes.

A stormy grey lynx lashes his tail gently, gazing hungrily at Gutstorm.

Lilanna takes a deep breath.

Extending her head, the viridian hummingbird displays her gorget and spreads her tailfeathers.

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.

Lylia says, speaking to Tayler, "Mm? I do not know. The last time we saw him, he appeared through one of his gilded portals. Bringer of light that he is."

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.

Lylia smiles wryly.

You feel the extra courage wane.

Tayler ponders.

Tayler nods at Lylia.

Lylia grins slowly at Xorus.

Jaysehn says, "I must say, this vessel performed well in adverse circumstances."

Randsford nods slowly at Jastalyn.

Kontii agrees with Jaysehn.

Several excited shouts--and a few more of wariness--come from back in the hold.

Jastalyn joins Talliver's group.

The dog twists its neck to raise one of its ears up to one side and begins sniffing furiously while staring vacantly ahead.

Tayler says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I agree, I'll take three."

Tayler nods.

Akenna says, speaking reluctantly to Pertyc, "It is...perhaps the right thing to do-- though I am loathe to admit it."

Randsford joins Talliver's group.

You feel a subdued warmth through your arms and torso, accompanied by a preponderant sense of engagement.

A resplendent obsidian black raven's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around his arms.

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

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

Lylia says, speaking to Pertyc, "I could not help it if some had the wisdom to follow us."

Jaysehn says, "Not me. I prefer the water below me."

Lylia looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

The whine of the propellers outside grows more shrill as the airship descends.

Jaysehn says, "Close below me."

Tayler says, speaking to Jaysehn, "Tech..."

Tayler grins wryly.

Roelon's face turns slightly pale.

Yussof abruptly releases an ear-piercing bark!

Jaysehn smirks.

Jastalyn softly says, "Fenog's lodge is available if loding is still required."

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

The dim aura fades from around Blades.

Blades begins to breathe less deeply.

Randsford nods in agreement at Jastalyn.

Lilanna nods at Jastalyn.

Yardie says, speaking to Talliver, "Umm, Mister Mayor?  You may wish to send warning to your constituents as to the arrival?  I...am not in the mood for loud yelling tonight."

Jkarog asks, "So, will we all be staying in the Icewall Penitentiary?"

Randsford says, "Outside town for those that are leary."

Jkarog asks, "Or were those accommodations merely for me?"

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Jkarog, "It is lovely this time of year."

Jastalyn softly says, "We have plenty of food, a hot bath, and a barracks."

Blades stands up.

Blades stretches.

Talliver nods at Yardie.

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Jastalyn just nudged Aliashyrah.

Jaysehn says, "If there are those who want to scout the Frostmain for a brief journey, I'll be setting out shortly upon landing."

Dendum says, speaking to Jkarog, ""You would be lucky to make it that far..."

Missoni bites her lip.

Teaberry says, speaking to Jkarog, "We have plenty of inns to spare."

The black hawk preens himself quietly.

Kontii softly asks, "Is the Pavillion still stocked with food & beverages?"

Lylia gazes with interest at Jkarog.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Is safe for Krolvin in Icemule Trace?"

Perigourd says, "It sounded as if Ellusine was arranged some measure of lodgings."

The airship lands at Icemule Trace, the rumble of its engines and the whine of its propellers dulling.

Kelfyr says, "The previous load of refugees were taken to the Temple."

Lady Nyaria's group just came through a riveted imflass hatch.

A fluffy red baby fox squirrel scurries into the room.

Perigourd says, "Or arranging, rather."

Roelon wipes the sweat from his brow.

Teaberry nods.

Suallis frets.

Tayler nods at Suallis.

With a guarded expression, Suallis releases a bark of discontent.

Kontii softly says, "Could be a good place to gather the refugees to start... try to get them some warm clothes and food in the pavillion."

Talliver says, "The temple for those who have nothing."

Meril seems a bit less imposing.

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Dendum, "Are you the Tiny Czag?"

Tabubu says, speaking quietly to Jkarog, "Odd, I asked them that very same question. I heard you chose there."

Randsford nods.

Tayler says, speaking to Suallis, "See, safety."

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Suallis, "I know, theres a lot of people, too much for me too."

Argkalkt asks, speaking to Dendum, "You...tiny czag?"

Suallis nods.

Kelfyr glances at Argkalkt.

Suallis barks loudly in agreement.

Dendum says, speaking to Argkalkt, ""No the...mayor is this one."

Nyaria asks, speaking quietly to Dendum, "Are you the tiny Czag?"

Tayler blinks at Argkalkt.

Dendum points at Talliver.

You say, speaking heartily to Yussof, "That depends."

Jkarog says, speaking to Dendum, "She thinks you are the mayor."

Trisscar surprisedly comments, "Oh, the temple is great."

Argkalkt nods.

The raven preens himself quietly.

Yussof yips a short bark to Dendum that is immediately followed by a grunt of doubt.

The viridian hummingbird emits a delicate trill-like sound.

Trisscar points at Talliver.

The shadowy black cat licks its right paw, seemingly oblivious to the world around it.

Argkalkt says, speaking to Talliver, "Thanks, Tiny Czag."

Argkalkt nods.

Dendum says, speaking to Argkalkt, ""Dabbings."

Argkalkt says, "Mayor."

Gutstorm removes a golden glass dancing flame crown from in his traveller's cloak.

A thud goes through the ship as one of the crew lowers the gangplank.

Gutstorm puts a golden glass dancing flame crown on his head.

Gutstorm taps Argkalkt lightly on her shoulder.

Talliver nods at Argkalkt.

Roelon appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Blades takes a drink from his rye whiskey.

Blades looks rather relaxed.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Mayor Czag."

Alosaka slowly empties his lungs.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Tiny Czag."

Kelfyr says, "Tiny Czag, big heart."

Mykonoe nods in agreement at Yussof.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "That wpould be Mr Dabbins i belive."

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

The dog opens its mouth wide in an extended yawn.

Gutstorm points at his dancing flame crown.

Lilanna chuckles.

Talliver carefully says, "Please don't make me regret it."

(Nyaria gestures at Talliver.)

The dog opens its mouth wide in an extended yawn.

Lylia nods at Xorus.

Tabubu quietly says, "I bet its to late for that."

Blades says, "They probably will."

Akenna nods at Jaysehn.

Blades smirks as a haughty expression flits across his face.

A massive snowy white tiger twitches her whiskers, shaking her head with lazy boredom.

Randsford says, speaking to Jkarog, "I hope you can live up to your end of everything."

The viridian hummingbird flits back and forth, her wings moving in rapid figure eights.

Akenna asks, speaking to Jaysehn, "Long night, then?"

Talliver says, "We will take you to the temple.  Those of you who still have coin may avail yourself of our inns, or wherever else we can find beds for you."

Argkalkt says, "My Common is bad, but heart good."

Argkalkt smiles.

Aliashyrah dryly asks, "We now are housing half-krol refugees and Krolvin refugees. What could possibly go wrong?"

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

Jaysehn says, "I won't expect it to take that long."

Balzi just left.

Balzi just arrived.

Bilfords just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

Jkarog glances at Aliashyrah.

Roelon nods slowly.

Suallis frowns.

Yardie asks, speaking to Aliashyrah, "We?"

Tabubu quietly says, "So odd, these are nothing like the Krolvin I remember in my paths."

Dendum asks, speaking to Talliver, ""Will they be safe with the....with Gorga's people in the mule?"

Jkarog says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Worries for the morning, I think."

Lylia nods at Tabubu.

The bright luminescence fades from around Bakarus.

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

Bakarus seems a bit less imposing.

Bakarus returns to normal color.

The air about Bakarus stops shimmering.

Bakarus seems to lose some dexterity.

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

A series of emerald green lines suddenly appears on Bakarus's face, quickly racing towards the center of his forehead before detaching and dissipating in the air.

The silvery luminescence fades from around Bakarus.

Kontii chuckles.

Nyaria quietly says, "They seem like very good, but hurt people right now."

Balzi joins Talliver's group.

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

A resplendent obsidian black raven's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around his arms.

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

The viridian hummingbird flies in short, rapid arcs through the air.

Trisscar mumbles, speaking curiously to herself, "What an interesting step in the northern nation's development."

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Yardie, "The tiny Czag is at least."

Argkalkt barks, in Krolvin, "I must learn to speak their language better.  I am sure I sound like an unlettered child."

Talliver says, speaking to Dendum, "I will speak to Gorga myself."

Jaysehn says, speaking to Akenna, "Don't feel obligated to join me. I know you have been in need of rest."

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Tabubu, "Two sides of the coin."

Dendum nods at Talliver.

Roelon nods.

Teaberry says, speaking to Argkalkt, "Herndrok brefta q ap."

Argkalkt barks, in Krolvin, "I never thought I'd need it so badly."

Lylia says, "All people seem good when they are desperate and dependent upon your good-will."

The viridian hummingbird suddenly rises into the air, her jeweled wings becoming a blur of movement.

Alosaka nods at Lylia.

Mykonoe begins chuckling at Argkalkt!

Dendum says, speaking to Argkalkt, ""Hrmph, sound better than some of us."

Bakarus agrees with Lylia.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "I can help when you need. it may take a little bit."

The shimmering aura fades from around Akenna.

The faint blue glow fades from around Akenna's hands.

The viridian hummingbird flies in short, rapid arcs through the air.

Blades nods at Lylia.

Jastalyn softly says, "Fenog's Lodge is outside of town."

Gutstorm squints at Dendum.

Randsford nods slowly at Jastalyn.

Teaberry says, speaking to Argkalkt, "My accent is very bad. I'm sorry."

Prismatic light glints off Missoni's lamellar corselet for the briefest of moments.

Tabubu says, speaking quietly to Roelon, "Its a different culture than you are used to, even dhe'nar sometimes cring at their methods."

Talliver says, "But for now, I could use the Council's help in keeping the peace between our guests and our residents."

Yussof rolls his eyes and makes an annoyed, barking grunt.

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Nyaria, "I appreciate it."

Yardie says, speaking to Aliashyrah, "Perhaps the Czag should have Czi.....you know what, I'll save that joke for another time."

Gutstorm loses his murky complexion.

Talliver says, "Let us head out."

Argkalkt nods.

Talliver's group just went through a riveted imflass hatch.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101103)

Toward the fore of the ship, the main deck widens.  Crates and supplies are stacked along the bulkheads, secured to them by hooks and sturdy hempen ropes, save around the base of a pale metal ladder that leads to the upper deck.  They leave sufficient space to access crew quarters through a narrow archway in the eastern wall.  Heavily reinforced with golvern, a riveted imflass hatch leads toward the ship's bridge.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Roelon, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar who is invisible, Kontii, Lord Randsford, Jastalyn, Seaward Gutstorm, Grand Lord Balzi, Talliver

Jastalyn nods at Talliver.

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

A sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur suddenly careens into the room, landing on the floor in a heap of corded grey fur.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

A black hawk flies in and lands on the floor.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Sorlu picks idly at a slender Nalfein-styled cane.

Talliver's group just went north.

[The White Wyrm, Main Deck - ] (u12101102)

Evenly lit by glimaerstone spheres set into the overhead, the intersection of the main deck is narrow.  Veniom filaments travel along the bulkheads, which are made of teak and reinforced with pale imflass the color of fog.  They fan out from a hatch to the west that is also the source of the low, rumbling thrum that pulses through the deck.  At the northern end of the corridor, a reinforced hoarbeam door carved with a rampant mule is stationed at the center of the bulkhead.  You also see obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Roelon, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar who is invisible, Kontii, Lord Randsford, Jastalyn, Seaward Gutstorm, Grand Lord Balzi, Talliver

Kelfyr removes an opalescent glass jar containing uncut rubies from in his modwir map case.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

Tongue lolling out of his mouth, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur bounds in, his thin tail held high.

A black hawk flies in and lands on the floor.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Yussof just strode in.

Yussof joins Talliver's group.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

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

Talliver's group just went east.

[The White Wyrm, Gangway - ] (u12101101)

Bulkheads press in unforgivingly to either side of the narrow gangway that allows egress from the ship.  Threaded through the pale imflass paneling are thin veniom filaments, the bluish metal agleam with glints of silver.  Above the escape hatch, a fanciful metal placard depicts a cold wyrm with its wings spread and snout at a defiant upward tilt.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Roelon, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar who is invisible, Kontii, Lord Randsford, Jastalyn, Seaward Gutstorm, Grand Lord Balzi, Yussof, Talliver

Obvious exits: west

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

Gutstorm grins at Yussof.

A sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur trots in, his wagging thin tail a blur of motion.

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Dendum says, speaking to Sorlu, ""The Blood Mage should be kept locked up."

J>look yussof

You look at Yussof, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Yussof, the Krolvin Grifter.

He is average height.  He appears to be long in the tooth.  He has brooding dark sea green eyes and milky-blue fur.  He has long, greasy black hair worn in a ponytail.  He has a triangular face, a flat nose and bushy sideburns.

He is holding a twisted black fishing pole adorned with tiny fish skulls in his right hand.

He is wearing a tattered dark oilskin rucksack, some weathered indigo full leathers, a lacquered ebonwood jig, a skull-clasped bone tackle box, a pale grey eelskin bait pouch, a stained thrak hide sheath, a pair of short sailcloth leggings, and some dark blue square-toed shoes.

A black hawk flies in and lands on the floor.

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in and lands on the floor.

Talliver's group just went through a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

[Icemule Trace, Exterior - 3055] (u4050323)

Workbenches and temporary shelters of pinewood dot the hardy red tundra grasses on the small thoroughfare, which passes beneath the high stone walls of Icemule Trace.  The fortifications span east and west for quite a distance in either direction.  At this close a proximity, the bustle of Icemule Trace's southern gate is a dull roar in the crisp, cold air.  You also see a heavy hoarbeam gangplank, a sleek snow white airship and obvious signs of someone hiding.

Also here: Seneschal Dendum, Pertyc, Roelon, Commodore Jaysehn, Lady Teaberry, Magnasco, Tesserus who is invisible, Magister Raelee, Xorus, Imperatrix Lylia, Queatus, Kelfyr, Lady Aliashyrah, Great Lord Ferghal, Lilanna, Lord Sorlu, Blade Yardie, Sarissa Tayler, Lady Trisscar, High Lord Alastir who is invisible, Meril, Missoni, Chancellor Akenna, Ralkean, Town Councilor Kayse who is hiding, Tabubu, Nalver, Blades, Preservationist Perigourd, Squire Alosaka, Bakarus, Zeminar who is invisible, Kontii, Lord Randsford, Jastalyn, Seaward Gutstorm, Grand Lord Balzi, Yussof, Talliver

Obvious paths: east, west

Your disk arrives, following you dutifully.

Akenna says, speaking to Jaysehn, "I will help...the work the hall gave me can wait."

Yussof rolls his eyes at Gutstorm and makes an annoyed, barking grunt.

Trisscar says, speaking softly to Sorlu, "On that note, if there is something I can do to help, I am at your disposal."

Gutstorm lets out a cheer!

A sleek silver fox with a black-tipped tail ambles into the area and up to Kontii.

A sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur suddenly careens into the room, landing on the ground in a heap of corded grey fur.

A black hawk flies in.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Dendum, "For all we know, they are all blood mages."

A pale-faced coppery barn owl flies in.

A small whirlwind races past the area.

Sorlu smiles.

Jaysehn nods appreciatively at Akenna.

Gutstorm barks wildly at Yussof!

Missoni casually observes her surroundings.

Jaysehn glances at Raelee.

Nalver bows.

The red and grey fox pads around the area.

(Gutstorm foams at the mouth a bit.)

Trisscar gives a mighty stretch, the movement highlighting the shifting inked obsidian-silver feathers of her silver wing tattoo.

Nalver just went west.

Jkarog says, speaking to Dendum, "Such hurtful slurs."

Trisscar smiles.

Raelee glances at Jaysehn.

The driftwood Nalver disk goes off in search of its master.

Jaysehn says, speaking to Raelee, "Joining us? I cannot promise we will get close enough for your needs."

Jkarog joins Talliver's group.

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

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

The dog opens its mouth wide in an extended yawn.

The dull golden nimbus fades from around Tabubu.

Ngaille just arrived.

A small whirlwind races through the area.

Lylia asks, "Blood mage?"

Lylia raises an eyebrow.

The air calms down around Tabubu.

You fidget.

Raelee says, speaking to Jaysehn, "Yes."

Jaysehn nods.

Blades removes a blackened fel cane capped with a jade viper from in his sharkskin duster.

The dog paws at the ground, and its fur twitches and quivers for a moment.

Missoni nods to Ngaille in greeting.

Yardie says, speaking to Lylia, "Blood magic.  That's never good."

Missoni smiles.

Jaysehn says, "Follow me then."

Jaysehn nods.

Akenna stows her orase staff in her runestaff sling with a flash of flame and burst of smoke.

Aliashyrah says, speaking to Lylia, "The one who cut his hand, sprinkled blood and cast a spell? That usually spells blood mage."

Perigourd nods in greeting at Ngaille.

Raelee joins Jaysehn's group.

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

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

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

Tayler pulls his cloak closely around his body.

As the cloak settles about Tayler, his body shimmers into a thousand motes of light!  After a moment, the light is gone.

Ngaille anxiously asks, "I heard what happened... " She glances around.  "How many were you able to save?"

Alosaka nods respectfully.

Gutstorm turns toward Blades and renders a sharp hand salute.

Raelee summons a torrent of elemental mana and releases upon herself a flurry of abjurations.

Squire Alosaka just went west.

Roelon agrees with Yardie.

Great Lord Ferghal just went west.

Ngaille nods.

Zeminar suddenly fades into view.

Perigourd joins Jaysehn's group.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

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

Panting with excitement, a sharp-nosed grey puppy with long corded fur gallops out of sight.

A small silver spider crawls over to your head.

Oishian just arrived.

Kelfyr offers Jkarog an opalescent glass jar containing uncut rubies.

You heartily say, "Not enough."

Lady Nyaria's group just arrived.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Compny dishmisht?"

A fluffy red baby fox squirrel scurries into the room.

Ngaille frowns at you.

Nyaria quietly says, "Dorr about that."

Suallis gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Oishian says, "Still some on there."

Nyaria blushes a nice shade of deep red.

Suallis shivers.

Roelon nods to you.

Nyaria quietly says, "Im not drunk i promise."

You heartily say, "But as many as we could."

Lylia dismissively says, "Blood is just a reagent, albeit a powerful one. To dislike it is to mistrust all alchemy, or all sympathetic magics."

The dog cocks its head to one side and raises its muzzle up into the air, sniffing anxiously.  After a moment, the fur of its ruff bristles, and it begins to growl at the shadows.

Queatus put a well-worn serrated-edged waraxe in his black leather baldric.

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

The coppery barn owl circles lazily above.

Lylia says, "It is just...primitive."

Ngaille says, "That's terrible."

Raelee nods at Lylia.

Talliver says, speaking to Ngaille, "I've already discussed it with the Council.  We will... try to keep them away from your people until we have had a chance to discuss matters."

Suallis barks, in Krolvin, "We in the snow lands."

Oishian just went through a heavy hoarbeam gangplank.

Randsford's aura of lambent white-gold light motes dissipates slowly, winking out of existence.

Yardie says, speaking to Lylia, "It never goes well.  Ever."

Perigourd looks over at Jaysehn and shakes his head.

The raven squawks.

You see Ngaille.

She appears to be a Half-Krolvin from Krint.

She is shorter than average.  She appears to be very young.  She has large steel grey eyes and albino white skin.  She has very long, thick blue-tinged white hair woven into skull-hugging braids that trail down her back in varying lengths and are adorned with bone and sea glass beads, the ends curling at her waist.  She has an angular face and a flat nose.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a wooden stick in her right hand.

She is wearing a cord-strung ptarmigan skull painted in tribal patterns, a fur-trimmed walrus hide parka, a tapestry weave juniper green vest of heavy threads over a thick brick red woolen tunic, an embossed caribou hide belt, a pair of fleece-lined sheepskin trousers,, and some calf-high walrus hide boots lined in red stoat furs.

Jaysehn nods at Perigourd.

Nyaria quietly says, "It is very cold here. yes."

Argkalkt wraps a comforting arm about Mykonoe, leaning tiredly against her.

Nyaria nods at Suallis.

Drayc just arrived.

Drayc just went west.

Ngaille says, speaking to Talliver, "I appreciate the sentiment, but I can offer shelter."

Randsford says, speaking to Mykonoe, "Safe."

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Suallis, "Im sure i can help find proper attire if you should need."

Lylia diplomatically says, "I lack any superstitious dread of it."

Jastalyn put an ethereal platinum scepter in her pashmina wrap.

Talliver blinks at Ngaille.

Randsford smiles at Mykonoe.

Talliver asks, "You would do that?"

Yussof issues a quick, appreciative bark.

Oishian just arrived.

Nyaria beams happily at Ngaille!

The black hawk circles lazily above.

Jaysehn asks, speaking to Akenna, "Coming dear?"

Nyaria praises Ngaille.

Akenna nods at Jaysehn.

Roelon furrows his brow.

Akenna tucks her hand into the crook of Jaysehn's arm as she moves next to him.

Ngaille says, speaking slowly to Talliver, "You offered it to me."

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

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

Mykonoe nods once at Randsford.

Jaysehn nods.

The cyan-hazed icy sprite hovering just above Akenna's shoulder vanishes in a brief, cyan-hazed icy flash of light.

Jaysehn removes a Vornavis promissory note from in his dim grey pack.

Yardie whispers aloud, "And I'd burn it to the ground if I could."

Jkarog glances between Talliver and Ngaille.

Jaysehn says, "Off we go then."

Missoni smiles at Ngaille.

Ngaille says, "If we are to be one people in the North, then we need to learn to forgive."

Commodore Jaysehn's group just went west.

Suallis frowns.

Oishian deftly slides a circular imflass aegis inlaid with arabesques of zydris zephyrs over his shoulder and it settles into place.

The viridian hummingbird flits back and forth, her wings moving in rapid figure eights.

Queatus blinks.

Tabubu gazes about with intense interest at her surroundings, her moonlight silver eyes pausing briefly on everything nearby.

The viridian hummingbird suddenly rises into the air, her jeweled wings becoming a blur of movement.

Suallis barks, in Krolvin, "What is that one burning?"

The driftwood Nalver disk arrives in the room, shivering violently.  It then disintegrates, dropping an engraved mithril strongbox on the ground.

Jkarog nods slowly.

Queatus nods at Ngaille.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "You all will be safe, this lass will help you."

Suallis glances at Yardie.

The black hawk circles lazily above.

The coppery barn owl flies off.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Make love not fight, dish da way of da pashtafisht."

Tabubu quietly says, "I think I have had enough of this cold."

Nyaria glances at Ngaille.

Yussof sniffs.

Blades glances at Gutstorm.

Yardie says, speaking to Suallis, "Nothing.  We're talking about certain magic."

Nyaria curtsies to Ngaille.

Randsford nods at Jastalyn.

Blades removes a small dark crystal from in his sharkskin duster.

With a stiff upper body and left arm pressed tight against his side, Dendum snaps his heels together and salutes Tabubu.

Blades throws a small dark crystal right where Gutstorm is located!  With a loud crack, a small fissure opens up, disrupting Gutstorm's balance and knocking him to the ground!  The fissure seals as quickly as it appeared.

Ngaille smiles at Nyaria.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Oof."

Jkarog says, speaking to Ngaille, "That may be some day off in the future, but..."

Dendum says, ""Travel softly."

Tabubu quietly says, "Do keep the Tower informed on further details."

Tabubu quietly says, "Kris Har'esh."

Jkarog says, "We will be happy to have a place to sleep."

Tabubu inclines her head.

Dendum bows.

Yussof emits a noise that is a combination of laughter and barking, his eyes trained on Blades and full of amusement.

Tabubu waves her leather harness through the air.  A heavy tread and a scrabble of claws presage the arrival of an immense obsidian sai'ri monster.

The viridian hummingbird flits back and forth, her wings moving in rapid figure eights.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "If yall happen to need anything, my lockers are full and im willing to share."

Talliver says, speaking sharply to Jkarog, "No blood magic."

Argkalkt barks, in Krolvin, "They are discusing a place to sleep for us."

At Tabubu's command, an obsidian sai'ri monster's lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his heavy-jawed head.  Tabubu pulls her leather harness over the sai'ri monster's snout and hoists herself up onto the beast's back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  She tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.

Yardie agrees with Talliver.

Tabubu gently rings the bells, creating a cascade of soft tones.

Ngaille says, speaking slowly to Jkarog, "Just remember... "  She smirks... "I Do know how to fight even if I am offering shelter."

Tabubu rides west on an immense obsidian sai'ri monster.

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Nyaria, "You have my friendship and gratitude."

Yardie says, speaking to Talliver, "I like this Mayor.  Sensible."

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Ngaille, "They dont speak common so well, but Argka seems to understand well enough."

Jkarog says, speaking silkily to Ngaille, "I wouldn't dream of causing trouble."

Zeminar just opened an ebon spidersilk sack.

Zeminar removes a reinforced double rope harness from in his spidersilk sack.

Zeminar just closed an ebon spidersilk sack.

Zeminar waves his double rope harness through the air.  A heavy tread and a scrabble of claws presage the arrival of a mammoth obsidian sai'ri monster.

At Zeminar's command, an obsidian sai'ri monster's lowers himself until his belly brushes the ground and he dips his broad head.  Zeminar pulls his double rope harness over the sai'ri monster's snout and hoists himself up onto the beast's back to sit astride just behind his shoulders.  He tugs firmly against the harness and appears confident with its placement.

Lylia says, speaking to Jkarog, "I did not know you are also a user of potent magic. Fascinating."

Ngaille nods at Nyaria.

Dendum says, "It is not potent."

Suallis hunches up her shoulders and snarls menacingly at Dendum!

The mirror images surrounding Lilanna undulate and grow stronger.

Lilanna renews her songs.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "Even if it was not such a nice meeting, it was very nice to have met you all."

Jkarog says, speaking to Lylia, "I scarcely know enough to fill a page."

Dendum says, speaking to Suallis, ""Hrmph."

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Ngaille, "'Please, this one..." She points at Mykonoe.  "Has lost her child today.  If you could see to giving at least her shelter, I would be in your debt."

Ngaille says, "I think we would have to double up the some of the children, the shop isn't large but we could probably fit twelve more."

Zeminar rides east on a mammoth obsidian sai'ri monster.

Lylia says, "I could not say unless I had witnessed it, but it would be impolite to assume."

Lylia looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Ngaille nods at Argkalkt.

Talliver nods at Ngaille.

The viridian hummingbird emits a delicate trill-like sound.

Talliver says, "Some of our refugees will sleep at the temple."

Ngaille says, "I am so terrible sorry for your loss.  Please, come take shelter."

Gutstorm sits up.

Yussof sighs.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Argkalkt, "Please let Myko know my heart and prayers are with her, and if she needs anything... im around."

A lazy wild white dog's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around its arms.

A massive snowy white tiger's movements no longer appear to be influenced by a divine power as the spiritual force fades from around her arms.

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

Yussof issues a muted bark that transforms into a keening yowl of sorrow.

Lylia says, speaking to Jkarog, "We can speak of it another time, perhaps. You have weathered a great deal tonight."

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Mykonoe, "You should follow that one."  She points at Ngaille. "She will get you somewhere to sleep."

Lylia inclines her head.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Miss home already."

Ngaille gazes in awe at Mykonoe.

Nyaria nods at Argkalkt.

Blades says, "Well better bring balanace back from all this goodness.  Back to the sea."

Trisscar smiles at Ngaille.

Talliver says, "I will see if we can find a roof for every head."

Blades waggles his fingers mystically at Gutstorm.  How nice.

Suallis barks, in Krolvin, "Yussof  here."

Suallis beams happily at Yussof!

Argkalkt barks, speaking in Krolvin to Mykonoe, "I can stay with you if you like."

Jkarog glances at Dendum.

Blades winks at Lylia.

Magnasco just went east.

Lylia flashes a quick grin at Blades.

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Suallis!  You are alive!"

Blades just went west.

Mykonoe nods absently at Ngaille.

Nyaria rummages around in her pockets.

Randsford says, speaking to Talliver, "Please let the rest of us know how we can assist."

The raven ruffles his feathers, sending one lone pinion twirling through the air and onto the ground.

Suallis barks, in Krolvin, "You were smart to come."

Kontii softly says, "I'll see if I can snag some warm clothes from the general store to leave in the temple for folks... i imagine the climate here might be a bit of a shock."

Randsford nods encouragingly at Talliver.

A grizzled porcupine eyes the treasure chest-shaped Teaberry disk centered with a broken lock curiously.

Argkalkt joins Ngaille's group.

Yussof barks loudly in agreement.

The dog hovers protectively by Missoni's side, baring its teeth at nothing in particular.

J>look suallis

You look at Suallis, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Suallis, the Krolvin.

She is average height.  She appears to be young and robust.  She has deep-set dark blue eyes and pale blue fur.  She has long, lank blue-grey hair streaked with silver and wound with sinew.  She has a long face and high cheekbones.  She has a jagged scar curving about her neck.

She is holding a leaf-wrapped piece of pepper-flecked pork in her right hand and a mug of cold winterberry juice in her left hand.

She is wearing a scuffed burlap pack, a dark leather vest edged with rawhide, a sleeveless cotton shirt, a worn leather sheath sewn with seashells, a coarse flax skirt, and a pair of twine-wrapped leather sandals.

Lilanna adopts an agreeable expression.

Ngaille begins chuckling at Kontii!

Gutstorm stands up.

Argkalkt nods reassuringly to Mykonoe.

Gutstorm joins Ngaille's group.

With a graceful movement of her hands, Nyaria lowers her head and sinks into a formal curtsy before Argkalkt.

Roelon says, speaking deeply to Talliver, "If needed, Mah cabin kin hold several."

Suallis barks loudly!

Roelon nods slowly.

J>look argkalkt

You look at Argkalkt, cautious not to let your gaze linger for too long.



You see Argkalkt, the Krolvin.

She is average height.  She appears to be aged.  She has piercing sea blue eyes and blue-grey fur.  She has cropped, unruly dusky blue hair with white and grey tips.  She has an angular face and a crooked nose.

She is holding a leaf-wrapped piece of pepper-flecked pork in her left hand.

She is wearing a storm grey woolen cloak lined with sea blue fleece, a wool-lined waxed canvas knapsack, a long natural linen tunic, a pair of dark leather leggings, and some dark leather shoes.

Talliver says, "I do not know if we have made the right decision this evening, but I believe it was the kind one."

Ngaille says, speaking amusedly to Kontii, "I think the cold will bother them less than you realize."

Yussof barks, in Krolvin, "Hope I can find place to fish again soon."

Xorus nods at Lylia.

Roelon gently rubs the snowy white tiger on the head and neck.  The tiger breathes out a quick sigh.

Yardie says, speaking to Talliver, "Only time will tell."

Argkalkt gives Nyaria a friendly hug.

You see Kontii Slie'Phox the Bodyguard.

He appears to be a Human.

He appears to be in the prime of life.  He has grey-swirled hazel eyes and tanned skin.  He has short, unkempt black hair.  He has a light scar across his right eyebrow.  He has dimpled cheeks covered with a shadowy stubble.

He is in good shape.

He is wearing an ancient black elven cloak, a suit of shadowy black shadarl armor, a crystallized silvery fossil charm, an ebon thigh-scabbard with gem and silver inlaid constellations, a silver-bladed dagger medallion, an ancient elven thigh-sheath, an ancient Black Wolf armband, some fitted ebon leather gloves with spiked vaalin knuckle-guards, a quintuple orb brooch, a silver-edged black sword pin inlaid with star-spangled obsidian, an ancient black bloodwood longbow, an archaic deep black satchel, a fitted ebon leather harness, a faded grey shirt, an ancient black elven wristband, a black spidersilk archer's tool kit stitched with thin crimson paw prints, some night black pants, and some soft-soled black stalking boots fastened with carefully blacked steel buckles.

The raven stretches one of his wings.

Ralkean turns to Talliver and cheers!

Using the sinewy loops on the side of his bone tackle box, Yussof secures a twisted black fishing pole adorned with tiny fish skulls to it in an upright position.

Bakarus shrugs.

Trisscar inquires, speaking quietly to you, "Could we help at all with White Haven?"

Dendum offers, ""The Krolvin....are adept in the cold...but we can hunt for hides and such if needed for bedding and warmth..."

A stormy grey lynx settles down close to the ground, as if preparing for an ambush.

Jastalyn nods at Talliver.

Nyaria says, speaking quietly to Talliver, "Kindness goes a very long way."

Ngaille nods.

A small whirlwind races through the area.

You quietly whisper to Trisscar, "I offered."

The dog gazes ahead blankly, seemingly oblivious to its surroundings.

Trisscar nods to you.

Mykonoe barks, speaking quietly in Krolvin to Argkalkt, "Thank the Tiny Czag for the assistance?"

Argkalkt barks, in Krolvin, "I speak for myself, but I will not forget the kindness."

You heartily say, "White Haven's Doors are open."

Argkalkt nods at Mykonoe.

Ngaille says, "My brother has been keeping the shop well supplied, we could offer some without hurting our budget."

You nod at Trisscar.

Suallis barks, in Krolvin, "Tiny Czag good person."

Suallis nods.

Trisscar smiles at you.

Yardie asks, speaking to Talliver, "Do you need silvers?  I don't have much, but I can donate something?"

Kelfyr offers Ngaille an opalescent glass jar containing uncut rubies.

Lylia says, speaking to Talliver, "It is a decision with potentially far-reaching ramifications."

Ngaille raises an eyebrow.

Kelfyr says, "Suppliment the budget."

Ngaille asks, "What is this?"

Yardie says, "He is a good person, yes."

Argkalkt says, "Tiny Czag...Mykonoe thank."

Oishian says, speaking to Talliver, "Taking in refugees is not a safe choice, but it's a hopeful one."

The black hawk circles lazily above.

The mirror images surrounding Jastalyn undulate and grow stronger.

Jastalyn renews her songs.

Gutstorm drunkenly slurs, "Me will shent ye me bill, Talliver."
