Summary

  • Pylasar arrives, seeming surprised by the size of the crowd and a bit distracted. The group heads to Lake Eonak, where [[::Chrysamber Epoch|Chrysamber]] helps open the portal and Pylasar explains that tonight we'll be seeking a Tehiri man named Deshal--a "blood warrior" who was wounded in battle and whose transformation process took the longest. The group enters to find themselves in an imagined version of the Sea of Fire.
  • Adventurers brave the desert's dangers, from simply getting lost in the sandy terrain to facing the wildlife to being approached by raiders to getting trapped in sandstorms to spells being stripped away. Pylasar himself seems distracted an wanders off during the journey, but with or without him, everyone presses on to seek Deshal, noting as they do that the sand is coated in blood and the wind itself is infused with a sanguine hue.
  • Eventually the group finds itself trapped in an inescapable sandstorm, where a voice asks what they seek and why, saying that they've given much blood to the sands. The group tries to explain that Deshal must be set free, but the voice says they are not free--in the sandstorm--and asks if they bring offerings to the God. Some in the group agree to do just so and a pathway opens up.
  • The group follows the path and comes face-to-face with Deshal, who notices Captain Stormyrain and greets her as a seer, saying he's seen her face. He offers a hand to touch her face, awaiting permission, and she leans in; he nods and says each reign begins and ends in a cycle.
  • Deshal asks for warrior champions among the group and declares that only the strongest may rise to challenge him. He begins a tournament to decide who can face him...
  • At last it comes down to Roblar against Deshal. Roblar defeats him and declares himself their new Blood God! Deshal rises, restored to life by the blood red sands, and gives his veil to Roblar, acknowledging the start of his reign. Deshal steps back into a wall of sharp bones, impaling himself, and his flesh begins to fall like ash, surprising him. Seemingly before he can understand what's become of him, his body withers and falls in on itself.
  • The time pocket begins to fall in on itself as well, as Roblar offers the veil to Radeek as being best for his people.
  • The group briefly looks for Pylasar, but can't find him and have to leave--only to meet him already outside. He apologizes for not being able to help, saying the witch placed traps for him in the time pockets and he supposes she suspected that one day he'd try to undo this. He thanks everyone again, wishes them a good night, and leaves.

Speaking to Lauranathalasa, Ruffelin says, "I like tha' idea."

Awaiting Pylasar

[Town Square Central]

This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded from the moonlight by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see an herbal remedy donation bin and some stone benches with some stuff on it.

Also here: Sir Ruffelin, Gorvalt, Micore, Stormyrain, Yanwyn, Sofal, Guarrin, Elyndiria, Wolfloner, Razanetika, Goldstr, Synnergy who is sitting, Arena Combatant Darcena, Soneiken, Maags, Rcwiz, Berost, Arasleaf, Arena Heroine Leafiara, Lyrna, Grand Lady Roelaren, Sir Cryheart, Chaoswynd, Olgretien, Bernadette, Derfle, Drung, Rhayveign, Lady Regwen, Desorceri, Zosopage, Lord Chamorr, Pukk, Ironglor, Wyyridoir

The sky begins to fill with huge clouds, dark and grey on the bottom, pale and white atop, their puffy crowns ascending toward the heavens.

Zosopage says, "Here comes the rain."

Roelaren says, "Clouds."

Puptilian says, "Have to wonder if the run off from all the rain is aiding in the spread of the curse."

Stormyrain grabs a bronze-tinged apricot crystal from a small pocket inside of her ebon lambskin jacket.

Stormyrain rubs a bronze-tinged apricot crystal in her hand.

A look of dawning understanding comes over Stormyrain.

Speaking to Puptilian, Regwen asks, "Curse?"

Speaking to Puptilian, Maags says, "Problies."

Stormyrain says, "Oh, that's what that one does."

Speaking to Regwen, Puptilian says, "The dead plants, the sick people..."

Sofal says, "There is the storm."

Speaking to Puptilian, Regwen says, "I was wondering what was going on."

Speaking to Regwen, Puptilian says, "The witch cursed the lands somehow."

A streak of purple lightning arcs over Wehnimer's Landing.

Speaking to Maags, Stormyrain says, "I have too much..weight."

Cryheart says, "Moving to outside of Moot Hall."

Leafiara eagerly exclaims, "Here he comes!"

Speaking quietly to Cryheart, Pukk asks, "You ready?"

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain says, "Not a damned word."

Sir Cryheart's group just went east.

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night. You also see a large purple wooden barrel, a bone-framed bulletin board and a polished bleakstone statue.

Pukk recites quietly:

"Everybody join Cryheart...again!"

Razanetika softly says, "Ack."

Leafiara yells, "Come on over to Moot Hall and join Cryheart!"

Speaking to her seaweed-wrapped ampoule, Stormyrain murmurs, "What do you do."

Lyrna says, "Hate it when that happens."

Speaking to Lyrna, Stormyrain says, "It's my life."

Speaking lightly to Cryheart, Katiesa asks, "Where you charging off to this far after the hour of Ronan?"

Stormyrain takes a drink from her seaweed-wrapped ampoule.

Stormyrain suddenly looks more powerful.

Stormyrain exclaims, "Aha!"

Stormyrain says, "..that's what it does."

Speaking to Cryheart, Katiesa adds, "My armor is rubbing a bit."

Speaking to Katiesa, Regwen says, "Good ta see ya."

Cryheart says, "Ye be nae wearing armor."

Speaking encouragingly to Cryheart, Darcena says, "I am."

Speaking to Cryheart, Darcena prompts, "Wearing armor. I am."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Maags says, "Yous mean another weight." [Maags had tried to give her a white crystal but she already had Strength]

Stormyrain says, "And Sir Knight's armor fiddlings too."

Speaking to Berkana, Stormyrain says, "I'm glad you will be with us this night."

Chamorr leans softly against Maags.

Chamorr falls over.

Timoen pulls Chamorr to his feet.

Timoen quietly exclaims, "Don't fall down!"

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian asks, "You think there is a need for a town guard tonight Captain?"

Razanetika softly says, "Mhmmm." [I think in response to Leafi's perfume]

Speaking heartily to Maags, Chamorr says, "Stan still."

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain says, "As much as any night. Though we have several militiamen who will be staying back for that purpose."

Chamorr leans softly against Maags.

Chamorr falls over.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Leifa says, "Seems like someone's hoping for a constable election."

>read board

The following messages are written on the bulletin board:

(NOTICE: This board is intended for PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS pertaining to the town of Wehnimer's Landing. Feel free to post your messages regarding public gatherings and the like here, but make sure to keep them appropriate to public display.)

fix the problem before it gets out of control, don't let the blight spread!

my butt itches

Stormyrain for Town Constable!

Speaking to Chamorr, Stormyrain says, "A bit early to give up, Bear."

Speaking airily to Cryheart, Katiesa says, "I am certain that I am, sir."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Puptilian says, "Not sure where I should be tonight."

Speaking to Chamorr, Maags exclaims, "My best talent is not standing still!"

Speaking to Puptilian, Stormyrain says, "With us."

Blades says, "Law officers are overrated, this town needs more people who live....in a grey area."

Speaking to Katiesa, Regwen says, "A bit better, I'd say."

Lyrna says, "This whole town is a gray area."

Speaking to Blades, Maags says, "We has plenty."

Blades says, "No you don't."

Blades says, "Look around, it's a disaster."

Lyrna says, "You get more and less gray, but it's all gray."

Speaking to Blades, Ruffelin says, "Aye, but 'tis OUR disaster."

Speaking lightly to Blades, Darcena says, "Yes, it is. Where is my food? I forgot to grab a bite after my lecture."

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain asks, "Does that mean you consider me one of the 'good guys?'"

Stormyrain gazes hopefully at Blades.

Evia whispers to the group, "Out of curiosity who amongst us are Tehiri?"

Blades glances at Stormyrain.

Stormyrain flutters her eyelashes at Blades.

Blades gazes up into the heavens.

Stormyrain preens.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Darcena says, "Gross."

Stormyrain says, "That's a definite yes."

Speaking to Chaoswynd, Puptilian asks, "Is a slave driver a good person?"

Berkana offers Darcena an oddly sparkly pickle.

Blades says, "Give her the pickle."

Darcena accepts Berkana's sparkly pickle.

Blades points at Stormyrain.

Goldstr whispers to the group, "Good question Evia."

Speaking to Darcena, Stormyrain says, "I'm not..hitting on him. For the love of all the Gods."

Darcena asks, "Why... in the world... did you give me a pickle?"

Leafiara curiously notes, "That is a really interesting pickle."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Darcena asks, "What do you think I would expect?"

Speaking slowly to Darcena, Katiesa says, "It's unusually glittery."

Darcena says, "Also, I feel like we had this conversation LAST time we were standing near Blades."

Evia whispers to the group, "It might be a possibility they may need to take some lead in any potential discussions, just an idea."

Pukk whispers to the group, "Nope...no Tehiris here."


Still Awaiting Pylasar

Lord Pylasar just arrived.

OOPS?

Speaking deeply to Evia, Guarrin says, "That is a fine idea."

A bolt of purple lightning arcs over Moot Hall.

Cryheart says, "Hmm."

Speaking to Darcena, Stormyrain says, "We likely did. And we will continue to have it until you understand. He's more like a--very old very very ancient-big brother, if anything."

Stormyrain says, "Kinda."

Stormyrain says, "The tortury kind."

Cryheart says, "I thought I saw a Pylasar."

Ruffelin says, "Seein' things. Mus' be th lightnin' afterimage."

Olgretien deeply says, "Me too, it was an OOps."

Speaking to Katiesa, Regwen asks, "It's been so long. Is that Pylasar?"

Speaking airily to Cryheart, Katiesa says, "Proabably was tomorrow."

Leafiara eagerly exclaims, "But nonetheless he's comin'!"

Blades exclaims, "I'm not bloody old!"

Maags exclaims, "Saw a lightning!"

Lyrna says, "Only kind of."

Speaking to Cryheart, Goldstr says, "We did."

Speaking to Darcena, Stormyrain whispers aloud, "Ancient."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Darcena says, "He doesn't even remember me."

Olgretien deeply says, "He is blinkin about in time."

Speaking to Regwen, Katiesa says, "Look in the barrel."

Roelaren says, "I thought I just saw him go by."

Olgretien deeply says, "He's probably in yesterday winderin wher everyone is."

Blades says, "This is why I stay in Illistim."

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain asks, "Because you get tortured back?"

Speaking to Blades, Darcena says, "Chicken."

Speaking to Olgretien, Leafiara reminds, "We were here yesterday!"

Blades asks, "And it doesn't smell like fish?"

Olgretien deeply asks, "Didja see him?"

Blades yells, "Why does it smell like fish all the time."

Speaking to Leafiara, Katiesa says, "Pylasar may come yesterday, too."

Cryheart says, "Cause of the dead fish in the Bay."

Lyrna asks, "Because you're in a port city?"

Speaking to Blades, Stormyrain says, "No it smells like haughty elf and old wine."

Speaking to Blades, Ruffelin asks, "Because we're a harbor town?"

Speaking seriously to Stormyrain, Darcena says, "That's not what it smells like at all."

Blades says, "It smells like rotting dead fish."

Speaking to Darcena, Stormyrain asks, "What does it smell like to you?"

Sofal says, "He does need to visit yesterday to get the Thadston updates."

Cryheart nods at Blades.

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Darcena asks, "Lately or usually?"

Ruffelin says, "Aye, like low-tide all th' time."

Katiesa thoughtfully says, "I think it depends on where you're standing. Here by Maags, it's pretty good."

Speaking to Darcena, Stormyrain asks, "--usually? Lately? Do the Nations change smells much?"

Speaking to Katiesa, Maags says, "I has a small kitchen in Icemule too."

Speaking quietly to Lylia, Pukk says, "You might want to join Cryheart."

Speaking to Ysharra, Katiesa says, "It was chilly in the north. I thought I'd visit. It is good to see you."

Speaking to Maags, Regwen says, "Where the tarts come from."

Speaking abruptly to Stormyrain, Darcena exclaims, "Oh!"

Darcena says, "I thought you meant the Landing smelled like haughty elf because Blades was here."

Blades joins Cryheart's group.

Blades says, "Lead me knight."

Speaking to Darcena, Evia exclaims, "I heard you gave a marvelous program, and I missed it! I am so upset with me now, I didn't know and I would have loved it!"

Darcena says, "I thought it went well."

Darcena says, "I'll cover some of the same things tonight."

Zosopage says, "Where is that purple mage..."


Pylasar's Arrival

A spark of purple light explodes in the air above Moot Hall and Pylasar plops to the ground!

[Town Square, East]

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions. Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night.

Blades says, "Nice trick."

Leafiara approvingly says, "Oh, there he is."

Lyrna says, "Right there, of course."

Zosopage says, "There he be."

Puptilian says, "Hmm not as fancy as in the past."

Speaking to Pylasar, Goldstr says, "Ye found da right time I see."

Speaking quietly to Pylasar, Pukk says, "It seems like just a few moments ago that I saw you."

Speaking to Pylasar, Soneiken says, "Peter, good of you to drop in."

Pukk quietly says, "How time flies."

You notice Falvicar try to tiptoe silently by you.

You notice a short-taloned eagle glancing off in another direction for a moment.

You notice an infuriated forest spirit glancing off in another direction for a moment.

Roblar deeply asks, "Guud?"

Leafiara points at Falvicar, ruining his hiding place.

Stormyrain says, "..that was so bad, Falvicar."

Speaking to Pukk, Maags exclaims, "Tomorrow yous saw him!"

Evia says, "Falvikob on the sneak."

Lylia pointedly says, "Perhaps he realizes the seriousness of this and does not wish to make a mockery of matters while there is a blight going on, and when we are about such a grim business."

Lyrna says, "It really was."

Stormyrain says, "Terrible, really."

Pylasar slowly empties his lungs.

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra says, "Hello, Peter."

Speaking to Falvicar, Puptilian says, "I think they saw you from Icemule."

Speaking amusedly to Falvicar, Chaoswynd says, "I've seen boulders sneak better than that."

Pylasar says, "Hello everyone."

Evia says, "Hello."

Speaking heartily to Pylasar, Chamorr says, "Howdy."

Cryheart yells, "Hoot!"

Speaking to Blades, Maags exclaims, "So yous are a good guy after all I wonts tell!"

Blades asks, "Causin problems?"

Maags says, "Er."

Blades squints at Berkana.

Maags clasps her hand over her mouth.

Speaking to a black-toed saddleback foxhound, Ysharra says, "He's very bony, you know."

Speaking to Ysharra, Leifa says, "He's happy to gnaw on bones."

Pylasar says, "So...many of you."

Pylasar says, "I'm sorry. A little overwhelming."

Pylasar asks, "Sha...shall we?"

Pylasar hugs Regwen, who wraps him in a warm embrace.

Pylasar nods at Regwen.

Regwen smiles at Pylasar.

Speaking encouragingly to Pylasar, Leafiara says, "We're here for ya, in the end."

Regwen hugs Pylasar.

Felita says, "Wes glad to see yoos."

Lylia says, "Yes. Sooner is better than later."

Speaking quietly to Leafiara, Pukk says, "Or the beginning if you understand Pylasar."

Evia says, "Wooo."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra asks, "Are you all right?"

Regwen whispers to the group, "Got my Pylasar hug, I can go to sleep now."

Pylasar joins Cryheart's group.

Pylasar says, "The lake please."

Cryheart nods at Pylasar.

Cryheart yells, "Moving out!"

[travel]

Pukk quietly exclaims, "Charge!"

Speaking lightly to Cryheart, Katiesa says, "Do not trip."

Blades says, "Probably a good idea."

[trave]

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees and a cedar chip path.

Speaking quietly to Chrysamber, Pukk exclaims, "Nice to see you too!"

Roblar skinned a rolton, yielding a rolton pelt.

Roblar cracks his knuckles!

Roblar deeply says, "Wid ma fingernails."

Speaking to Roblar, Desorceri says, "Beat me to it."

Blades says, "Well that's disgusting."

Speaking to Roblar, Ysharra says, "You could wash your hands in the lake. You might get ticks."

Speaking to Ysharra, Darcena says, "It's just a little blood."

Deep in the shadows, you think you see movement: something like a thousand snakes all swarming around each other. By the time you've focused to get a closer look, they are gone.

Cruxophim suddenly fades into view.

Cruxophim affably reports, "Made it."

Speaking pleasedly to Cruxophim, Leafiara exclaims, "So glad ya did!"

Ysharra asks, "Why do you come around when I mention blood-sucking parasites?"

Roblar deeply says, "Ticks are what da witch does."

Roblar deeply says, "Big uns."

Blades says, "Atleast he appears male today."

Blades nods at Ysharra.

Lyrna asks, "Crazy random happenstance?"

Speaking lightly to Ysharra, Katiesa suggests, "Talent? Or, the opposite of a talent?"

Speaking to Blades, Ysharra says, "I'm not sure that matters to me, but maybe the ticks care."

Speaking calmly to Pylasar, Cruxophim inquires, "We doin' this thing?"

Maags says, "Soon ticks will be all that is for dinner."

Speaking wryly to Cruxophim, Darcena says, "Yes, we were all just waiting on your arrival."

Leafiara draws her white ora slasher from her imflass scabbard with a bold flourish, ready to leap into the fray!

Speaking magnanimously to Darcena, Cruxophim agrees, "Of course you are."

Speaking quietly to Maags, Lylia says, "I doubt it shall come to that. I certainly hope not, at least."

Speaking amusedly to Leafiara, Katiesa says, "Your weapon is very swishy."

Cruxophim thoughtfully notes, "Be right back."

Speaking sagely to Katiesa, Leafiara says, "Gotta do it with style."

Evia says, "Quite the mob."

Pylasar nods at Cryheart.

Pylasar nods at Chrysamber.

Geijon says, "We'll need some contingency combat plans."

Cryheart nods at Pylasar.

Pylasar asks, "I brought some friends on our date. Is that okay?"

Speaking deeply to Geijon, Olgretien says, "Run."

Pylasar giggles.

Lyrna says, "Good fortune to you."

Chrysamber frowns.

Evia asks, "Chaperones, eh?"

Speaking loudly to Evia, Darcena whispers aloud, "I'm the best kind of chaperone."

Evia says, "What the hay."

Speaking to Darcena, Ysharra asks, "What's the worst kind?"

Speaking horrifiedly to Ysharra, Darcena says, "The one that actually chaperones."

Chrysamber gestures, muttering an archais tongue and her ivory compass begins to glow. An ethereal duplicate of the compass forms in her other hand and drifts towards Pylasar's waiting palm.

Chrysamber melodically says, "Do not fail Peter."

Lady Chrysamber just went southwest.

Pylasar says, "She's so lovely."

Leafiara remarks, "She might be even more short on words than Thadston."

Cryheart says, "Under that tough demeanor."

Blades shows Berkana his garlic-covered steak.

Blades asks, "Steak?"

Speaking amusedly to Blades, Berkana says, "No kisses for you."

Blades licks his garlic-covered steak.

Blades puckers his lips at Berkana.

Geijon says, "If all else fails and Cryheart dies. Form on me. Don't wait for me to call it, but preferably we may split our forces a bit so nobody gets overwhelmed or it's all or nothing."

Leifa says, "She's fast and thorough and sharp as a tack."

Speaking to Lylia, Ysharra says, "I love that."

Speaking to Geijon, Ruffelin says, "Aye, sir."

Cruxophim sniffs at Lylia.

Speaking pleasantly to Lylia, Cruxophim croons, "Fitting."

Speaking mildly to Cryheart, Katiesa says, "I like the plan where you don't die better."

Evia says, "Mmmmm."

Olgretien deeply asks, "So wuts all this about a pair of gourds?"

Speaking to Blades, Berkana says, "Drink more of that alcohol."

Goldstr says, "Members folks holds attacks till we sure wha ta fite."

Speaking to Katiesa, Maags says, "I has returned, Cryheart will be protected."

Blades says, "You're my supplier."

Blades says, "Thanks."

Speaking fondly to Maags, Katiesa says, "A fiercer protector he could not ask for."

Cruxophim calmly inquires, "So what's the plan, folks?"

Speaking musingly to Cruxophim, Leafiara asks, "Massacre 'em all?"

Lauranathalasa says, "Kill em all and let Pylasar sort it out."

Blades says, "I came to watch corpses pile up."

Lylia says, "Yes. If at all possible, show a modicum of restraint before attacking. We are not certain what we might learn."

Speaking affably to Leafiara, Cruxophim concludes, "Fair enough."

Cryheart says, "Think we are awaiting for his mind to reveal itself."

Speaking to Lauranathalasa, Ruffelin says, "I like tha' idea."

Lylia coldly says, "So no, 'kill them all and let someone else sort it out' is a bad idea."

Lylia slowly intones, "A Bad. Idea. So we shall not do that."

Speaking sadly to Lylia, Roblar asks, "Only for krolvin?"

Cryheart says, "Particularly if innocents be about."

Speaking to Lylia, Ysharra says, "We'll do our best."

Speaking to Katiesa, Regwen says, "I still have a bit of marble from the last time we went into someone's mind."

Blades says, "I don't seen any of those here."

Blades nods at Cryheart.

Leifa says, "But the slaughter is so rewarding."

Evia says, "Recall the type of people we may encounter, perhaps any Tehiri amongst us can be effective in any ....talking points."

Roblar deeply says, "Definitely no bar wenches."

Cryheart says, "Nae if they be children."

Maags says, "Er."

Speaking to Evia, Darcena asks, "Talking?"

Leafiara curiously asks, "Actually, how many -do- we have here who speak Tehir?"

Cryheart says, "Reason Stilletto is nae happy with us."

Roblar deeply says, "Happened last time."

Maags exclaims, "Owlies is innocent!"

Speaking to herself, Darcena mutters, "Might as well go to bed."

Speaking to Roblar, Leifa says, "I resemble that comment."

Speaking deeply to Roblar, Berost says, "Thems is after we be winnin."

Speaking carefully to Cryheart, Cruxophim clarifies, "Just children?"

Speaking to Darcena, Evia says, "Couldn't think how to say it."

Pylasar says, "Now then..."

Evia says, "Once more into the bree...err...portal-like thingie."

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra asks, "Where the pales have you been?"

Cryheart says, "Well..we hae to assume Pylasar may hae memories of innocence."

Speaking to Lazaryth, Ysharra says, "I just followed Shiny."

Speaking to Darcena, Lazaryth says, "Sister."

Maags exclaims, "He is easies to see!"

Speaking slowly to Lazaryth, Darcena says, "Brother."

Speaking to Maags, Ysharra whispers aloud, "It's the hair."

Speaking wryly to Darcena, Cruxophim teases, "Decide to branch out?"

Pylasar says, "Are..."

Pylasar asks, "Are you all ready?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Leafiara affirms, "Always!"

Maags exclaims, "Nevah not!"

Speaking to Cruxophim, Darcena asks, "What precisely are you implying, Cruxophim?"

Bernadette softly says, "Aye."

Cryheart says, "Aye."

Talonhawke quietly says, "Hardly, but that doesn't matter much."

Regwen says, "Hope so."

Felita says, "Yessies."

Speaking to Pylasar, Leifa asks, "The question is, are you ready?"

Cruxophim calmly states, "Time to get to work."

Zosopage says, "Eager if not ready."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra says, "You'll be better when this is over, at a guess."

Cryheart says, "We are about to invade your memories...and some of us with dirty boots."

Blades says, "Good thing it's not my memories, scary place."

Pylasar says, "The paragon's name is Deshal."

Maags says, "Ahh."

Cryheart says, "Deshal."

Olgretien deeply says, "Deshal."

Pylasar says, "Please quiet down a moment."

Pylasar says, "Before...before we go."

Chamorr heartily says, "Kill Deshal, vol 1."

Geijon says, "We are not here to murder."

Speaking heartily to Geijon, Chamorr says, "Acourse we are."

Pylasar says, "He was a leader of a Tehiri tribe."

Roblar deeply asks, "Tink Pylasar said dat iz what we must do for all paragons?"

Pylasar says, "He was wounded in a battle, nearing death, we found him. We..."

Pylasar nods.

Ysharra says, "You turned him."

Pylasar says, "His process took the longest."

Speaking to Pylasar, Geijon asks, "This was six hundred years ago?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Ruffelin asks, "Sae, we may hae ta make our way through th' members o' his tribe?"

Pylasar says, "While a warrior of his people..."

Pylasar says, "He was a blood warrior."

Speaking to Ruffelin, Evia asks, "Or even whatever they may have been battling?"

Cruxophim calmly notes, "Of course he was."

Pylasar slowly empties his lungs.

Pylasar says, "Let's..."

Pylasar nods.

Cruxophim whispers to the group, "He is, I presume, also removed from the streams of time?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra asks, "What is this doing to you, Peter?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Goldstr asks, "So he holds power da Witch needs den?"

>loo pyla

You see Lord Pylasar the Regional Envoy of Wehnimer's Landing.

He appears to be a Human.

He is tall. He appears to be senescent. He has black-speckled golden eyes and tan skin. He has singed, pale white hair that sticks out haphazardly in all directions from his head. He has a slim face, a pointed nose and a long white goatee plaited with golden beads. An archaic golden sigil is inked just below his left eye.

He is in good shape.

He is holding an ethereal ivory compass in his right hand.

He is wearing a pair of gold spurs set with luminous golden glimaerstone rowels, a dark purple hibiscus tucked behind one ear, a pair of unlaced black boots, a purple tri-cornered hat, a billowly black mantle embroidered with faint golden sigils, a polished purple-stringed harp, a wide black wand belt clasped with a tiny golden hawk, a shard of glowing purple plinite dangling from a thin mithril chain, a gold-trimmed black cloth satchel, a gold-inlaid black staff harness, a small purple sack, a supple black leather alchemy bag, a pair of simple gilt-hued rings, a polished purple flower pin, a small gold-laced neckpouch, a leather-strapped potion case, and a pair of black pants.

Lylia whispers to the group, "Yes. It would appear so."

Speaking to Ruffelin, Geijon says, "You seem to have th' right of it."

Pylasar touches his hands to the ethereal compass in his hand and it begins to glow and slowly break apart.

Cruxophim whispers to the group, "How convenient."

Speaking to Geijon, Ruffelin says, "I hope ta th' void I'm wrong, sir."

(OOC) Geijon's player whispers to the group, "So we go into the upside-down."

Evia says, "Oh."

A shimmering silver portal appears.

Pylasar nods.

Speaking to Ruffelin, Geijon says, "This is an altered stream in time, a pause, it no longer exists attached to anything. If you'd believe everything that people have said."


Lost in The Red Vale

Sir Cryheart's group just went through a shimmering silver portal.

[Sea of Fire, the Red Vale]

Massive dunes threaten to suffocate the sky, stretching upward and outward as far as the eye can see. The ground is endless sands of light tawny hues whorled with rivulets of scarlet stripes. The peaks of huge limestone cliffs rise in the distance like the walls of a pale earthen cage. Periodically a low thrumming sound echoes across the vale. You also see a shimmering silver portal.

Obvious paths: north, southeast, southwest

Cryheart says, "Ok..slowly we proceed."

Berkana says, "Ooo."

Cryheart says, "Look for traps."

Blades says, "Oh good, circles to nowhere my favorite."

The sandstorm all around you begins to suddenly die down and the winds subside as dirt settles at your feet.

[Sea of Fire, the Red Vale]

Massive dunes threaten to suffocate the sky, stretching upward and outward as far as the eye can see. The ground is endless sands of light tawny hues whorled with rivulets of scarlet stripes. The peaks of huge limestone cliffs rise in the distance like the walls of a pale earthen cage. Periodically a low thrumming sound echoes across the vale. You also see a shimmering silver portal.

Pylasar seems distracted for a moment, staring off into the distance.

Speaking curiously to Pylasar, Leafiara says, "Got a lead? I can only see out of one eye myself."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra asks, "Peter, what are you thinking?"

Katiesa wryly says, "Hopping on one leg on a dune. Harder than you'd think."

Blades says, "Healing whenever, I'll probably survive except I have 10 pounds of sand in my pants."

Pylasar holds out his hand, mouthing something, his eyes almost glazed over. He wanders off, disappearing into a sandstorm.

Guarrin deeply says, "Oh bloody."

Speaking sheepishly to Cruxophim, Leafiara says, "Will send mana as I'm ab--"

Evia says, "Whoah."

Cryheart says, "Errr."

Speaking proudly to Cruxophim, Leafiara proclaims, "Our hero."

Lauranathalasa says, "We need to clone Crux."

The sands begin to pulse with a deep crimson light.

Ysharra says, "He's trying to stay ahead of those storms, and not lose Peter." [Cryheart, that is]

Geijon says, "He found him."

Evia says, "Uh."

Blades says, "That's probably not good."

Regwen says, "Ooo look at the sands."

Geijon says, "Or that is blood sand."

Ysharra says, "Give Cryheart and Cruxophim a break. They're trying to keep up." [regarding Crux keeping up the healing]

Speaking lightly to Maags, Katiesa says, "I'll just hold on to you so I don't topple."

Cryheart asks, "All ready?"

Speaking lightly to Maags, Katiesa says, "Leaning on you must have fixed it."

Flecks of blood swirl about through the area, mixed with the wind and sand, coating the ground in a light sheet of blood and infusing the very air with a sanguine haze.

Speaking to Katiesa, Maags exclaims, "What was broken!"

Leifa says, "Eww."

The air crackles with potent energy!

Cruxophim whispers to the group, "For those who just arrived, this strange voice is asking for offerings."

Geijon says, "You are a man lost in time. You are not a God."

Cryheart asks, "Of course...what offerings do ye wish?"

A wall of sand begins to slow down and weaken.

Cryheart says, "Bring offerings of blood."

Melikor says, "We've bled enough."

Speaking to an obsidian banded blood red faewood arrow fletched with silver-washed feathers, Leifa says, "There is your offering."

Cruxophim whispers to the group, "You want blood? I got blood, I got plenty of blood."

Warclaidh says, "Roblar lay down on sand and take a dirt nap."

Falvicar quietly says, "No blood."

Blades removes a bottle of aged scotch from in his ebon leather duster.

Blades asks, "Scotch?"

Sir Cryheart's group just went north.

[Sea of Fire, Bone Ridge]

A wall of earth stretches along an expanse of the desert, its edges hewn and uneven from the eternal hot winds. Protruding along the great wall are hundreds of jagged bones, each sharpened to a fine point and many stained with old blood.

Cryheart says, "Whew."

Cruxophim affably concludes, "See? Every problem has a solution."

Evia says, "Golly."

Cryheart says, "We seek the powerful one."

Cruxophim affably adds, "And most involve blood."

Geijon asks, "Seek a way?"

Speaking agreeably to Cruxophim, Leafiara says, "Ah, don't I know it."

Sir Cryheart's group just went south.

[Sea of Fire, the Red Vale]

Massive dunes threaten to suffocate the sky, stretching upward and outward as far as the eye can see. The ground is endless sands of light tawny hues whorled with rivulets of scarlet stripes. The peaks of huge limestone cliffs rise in the distance like the walls of a pale earthen cage. Periodically a low thrumming sound echoes across the vale.

Blades says, "Quit layin around."

Roblar deeply says, "We went back." [I think not referring to going back to get Crux, but that Cryheart wasn't supposed to go back south after we found the wall of earth]

The sands swirl about Cryheart....

Cruxophim disappointedly mutters, "How rude."

Lylia says, "Hold a moment."

Evia says, "Uht oh."

Zosopage says, "Reveal yourself so we may speak with you directly."

There is only swirling grit and earth as high powerful winds churn about, blotting out the sky above and the sands below. The air is hot, almost scorching, and all sense of direction has been obscured. The howling winds of the storm rage endlessly. You also see an obsidian banded blood red faewood arrow fletched with silver-washed feathers, some parchment bloodscrip and a large ritual circle drawn in fresh blood.

Also here: Rasson, Stormyrain, Dame Evia, Yakushi, Katiesa, Guarrin, Maags, Sir Geijon, Death Knight Warclaidh, Avalera, Falvicar, Bernadette, Conquerer of Reim Berkana, Conquerer of Reim Blades, Sir Ruffelin, Olgretien, Mayor Lylia, Xorus, a stunned Lord Thrassus who is lying down

Blowing sand swirls about to reveal Shinann!

[others]

Sir Cryheart's group just went north.

[Sea of Fire, Bone Ridge]

A wall of earth stretches along an expanse of the desert, its edges hewn and uneven from the eternal hot winds. Protruding along the great wall are hundreds of jagged bones, each sharpened to a fine point and many stained with old blood.

Cryheart says, "Standing still."

Cryheart says, "We are here."

Evia says, "We saw this."

Speaking affably to Cryheart, Cruxophim states, "And thank you."

Blades asks, "Weren't we already here?"

Geijon says, "This is as far as we'd been."

The sand swirls about and you think for a moment you see clumps of sand form around Cryheart's fast-moving feet.

Roblar deeply says, "Don't go south."

Cryheart says, "Nae moving."

Speaking bemusedly to Cryheart, Leafiara says, "The one night ya move quick and this happens."

Speaking to Roblar, Evia says, "Ok."

Speaking to Cruxophim, Chaoswynd suggests, "You never seem to mind these sorts of things. Go impale yourself on those bones. As an offering."

Cryheart says, "Errrr."

Speaking dubiously to Chaoswynd, Cruxophim scolds, "I did that earlier, where were you?"

Speaking to Cruxophim, Chaoswynd says, "I missed it? Damn shame."

The voice of Greycrown says, "You should keep moving before that sand prevents you from doing so."

Evia asks, "I meant...did we not see this with Peter? Or something like it? These bone things?"

Nearby, the air shimmers.

Cryheart says, "Nae moving...this is the area we be communicating."

Berkana says, "There's nowhere to go."

Geijon yells, "Pylasar!"

Geijon yells, "Pylasar!"

Berkana says, "Crux..."

Speaking approvingly to Cryheart, Katiesa says, "Take a stand. Yes."

Lauranathalasa exclaims, "Now I gotta go back to Teras!"

Leifa says, "Perhaps more offerings."

Thrassus says, "Might just be the heat."

Speaking to Geijon, Evia says, "When we are, it would be Peter."

Berkana asks, "Did you put that stinky cologne on again?"

Cruxophim removes a lengthy hematite chelioboros pendant backed in ebon glass from in his shadow cloak.

Cruxophim inhales deeply from his chelioboros pendant and smiles.

Cruxophim removes the stopper from his chelioboros pendant and pours a small amount of liquid into his cupped palm. Replacing the stopper, Cruxophim rubs his hands together briefly before briskly patting his neck.

Cruxophim put a lengthy hematite chelioboros pendant backed in ebon glass in his shadow cloak.

Speaking affably to Berkana, Cruxophim ventures, "Better?"

Shinann says, "Not sure he can hear us though."

Berkana sniffs at Cruxophim.

Berkana says, "Oh much nicers."

Cryheart says, "The sand is a bit hot."


Deshal's Reign

Emerging from the sand, a bald man appears, garbed in some dark bronze silk robes. His greyish-black eyes regard those gathered.

Cryheart says, "Hail Deshal."

Roblar deeply asks, "Blood God?"

Roblar deeply says, "Iz it..."

Speaking to Deshal, Geijon asks, "You worship Althedeus?"

Speaking to Deshal, Evia says, "Greetings."

The voice of Greycrown says, "I thought you had hair."

Leafiara pleasantly greets, "Hello there!"

Speaking to Deshal, Leifa asks, "Pleased with the blood arrow offering, yes?"

>loo desha

You see Keke Vozhib Deshal the Disciple of the Blood God.

He appears to be a Human of the Tehir tribes.

He is tall. He appears to be of full age. He has narrow greyish-black eyes and bronze skin. He has a bald head. He has a scarred face, a bent nose and broud shoulders. Thin black veins coil around his neck and along his hands and arms.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a curved goat hide shield in his right hand and a dusky bronze-hued ora khopesh in his left hand. He is wearing some dark bronze silk robes accented by black palm tendrils, a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone, a rune-painted leather amulet pouch, a petrified sand viper skull pendant, a scarab-inset copper sun talisman, a spiral-etched copper thumb ring, a sand-hued yierka hide wineskin, some black and coppery silk leg-wraps, and a pair of spurred yierka hide riding boots.

Deshal darkly says, "You have proven worthy of life, this far."

Roblar deeply asks, "Stone?"

Cryheart says, "He is the disciple."

Stormyrain's face turns slightly pale.

Cryheart says, "Thank ye."

Cryheart says, "Ye hae proved to be hard to find."

Speaking smoothly to Deshal, Cruxophim explains, "We do what we can."

Deshal tilts his bronze-hued ora khopesh side to side, making the light play off it.

Stormyrain perspires delicately.

Deshal darkly says, "The greater test comes."

Cryheart asks, "Greater test?"

Speaking to Deshal, Geijon says, "Blood you spill for your God."

Speaking amicably to Deshal, Leafiara prompts, "Tell us more."

Speaking to Deshal, Zosopage says, "Your warriors fought with honor."

Cruxophim lifts his jawbone dagger toward the sky. With a single, sharp word, a loud *POP!* ensues, and a gangly black-feathered rooster appears on the ground.

Speaking to Deshal, Ruffelin asks, "All life is a test. Ta which test do ye refer?"

Blades glances at a gangly black-feathered rooster.

Blades asks, "Dinner?"

Berkana asks, "Dinner?"

Melikor says, "Blood sacrifice."

Stormyrain takes a moment to observe Deshal.

A gangly black-feathered rooster struts about and pecks at the ground.

Cryheart says, "An offering to the blood god."

Deshal gazes in wonder at his surroundings.

Deshal glances at Stormyrain.

Speaking calmly to Melikor, Cruxophim whispers aloud, "I'm speaking his language."

Blades asks, "I'm sure it wants a rooster?"

Cryheart asks, "So Deshal, what is this greater test?"

Deshal darkly says, "Seer. I have seen your face."

Deshal moves to stand in front of Stormyrain.

Cryheart asks, "Hae we nae proven our worth?"

Deshal slings a curved goat hide shield over his shoulder.

Stormyrain places a hand over her heart.

Stormyrain bows to Deshal.

Deshal brings a bronze hand up to touch Stormyrain's face, but pauses, waiting for permission.

(Stormyrain leans forward into Deshal's hand.)

Leafiara asks, "The blood warrior and the blood mage?"

Lauranathalasa asks, "Former boyfriend?"

Deshal touches Stormyrain's cheek, nodding.

Stormyrain slowly empties her lungs.

Blades says, "No face touchin please."

Deshal darkly says, "Very well."

Berkana asks, "Would you be jealous?"

The voice of Greycrown says, "Best buds with the blood god. Still awkward with women."

Maags says, "So yous knew perhaps we were coming."

Blades says, "No I meant my face."

Deshal darkly says, "Each reign begins and ends."

Blades says, "And no, he's not your type."

Berkana says, "No hair to grab."

Deshal darkly says, "Such is our cycle. Blood for blood, risen anew. More endless than time."

Deshal removes a crystallized red scorpion tail from in his leather amulet pouch.

Speaking calmly to Deshal, Cruxophim agrees, "This is true."

Cryheart says, "A small group is trying to find us."

Blades says, "If she comes back a rooster, this is your fault."

Berkana says, "Yummy..."

Deshal darkly says, "Your offering..."


Feed the Vale: Olgretien vs. Ruffelin

Deshal darkly asks, "There are champions, warriors, among you?"

Stormyrain says, "There are many."

Leafiara points at Roblar.

Speaking confidently to Deshal, Leafiara says, "The best there is."

Geijon says, "He doesn't need to be told."

Zosopage says, "There are a few of us, yes."

The voice of Greycrown asks, "Wait, are you asking for just warriors?"

Deshal darkly says, "Then we shall begin."

Speaking calmly to Leafiara, Cruxophim reminds, "I'm a lover, not a fighter."

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

Speaking curiously to Cruxophim, Leafiara asks, "Why not both?"

Cryheart asks, "Begin?"

Evia asks, "Begin what?"

Leifa exasperatedly asks, "Begin?"

Speaking to Deshal, Berkana says, "We even have some knights here..."

Speaking quickly to Leafiara, Cruxophim agrees, "If you're doing it right."

Leifa irritatedly says, "As if we've been standing around all eve."

Deshal darkly says, "Only the strongest may face me. Only the strongest may reign."

Cryheart asks, "Stormy..are ye offering something?"

Deshal darkly says, "Born in blood by blood."

Speaking to Roblar, Melikor says, "That's you."

Speaking affably to Roblar, Leafiara says, "Up to you, Commander."

Roblar deeply says, "All da bloods."

Stormyrain says, "It will not be me that stands against the Father, it must be another."

Leifa incredulously asks, "So you are challenging us to a duel?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Berkana says, "He's talking about you."

Deshal darkly says, "Our first champions..."

Deshal sets his red scorpion tail in the palm of his hand and gently spins it.

The red scorpion tail comes to a stop pointing directly at Olgretien!

Deshal recovers the red scorpion tail and exclaims, "You are chosen Olgretien! Step Forward! May your blood nourish the Red Vale!"

Cryheart says, "Ok."

Deshal sets his red scorpion tail in the palm of his hand and gently spins it.

The red scorpion tail comes to a stop pointing directly at Ruffelin!

Speaking thoughtfully to Olgretien, Leafiara says, "Or you."

Ruffelin raises an eyebrow.

Deshal points at Olgretien.

Deshal points at Ruffelin.

Olgretien strides over to stand before Deshal.

Berkana says, "Oh, free duels."

Ruffelin strides over to stand before Deshal.

Deshal darkly says, "Are you ready? One of you will die, one of you will rise."

Lauranathalasa says, "Sweet."

Blades says, "Interesting."

Lauranathalasa asks, "Whose taking bets?"

Blades says, "I like this guy."

Olgretien deeply asks, "Really?"

Leifa says, "Duels, whence we just fought a major battle."

Ruffelin glances at Olgretien.

Maags exclaims, "Why!"

Lylia simply says, "Custom."

Leafiara pleasedly opines, "It's almost always a good time for duels."

Speaking deeply to Ruffelin, Olgretien says, "Up to you."

Deshal darkly asks, "Are you ready?"

Roblar deeply says, "Like a better arena."

Berkana says, "Mages... lay some spells on them."

Deshal glances between Olgretien and Ruffelin.

Olgretien nods at Deshal.

Speaking in Giantman, Guarrin deeply says something you don't understand.

Speaking to Olgretien, Ruffelin says, "Dinnae look as we hae a choice."

Olgretien agrees with Ruffelin.

Cruxophim reassuringly suggests, "Go for it, we'll patch you up."

Speaking to Olgretien, Leifa says, "Grind him into the sand."

Geijon says, "We need to end his era."

Olgretien frowns.

Lylia whispers to the group, "Those of us who have an Emporion background understand well the importance of working within local custom. Even to the point of things such as duels. Or elections."

Deshal darkly says, "When my hands strike three..."

Cruxophim whispers to the group, "A fine point."

Deshal claps his hands once.

Greycrown says, "100k on Ruffelin."

Deshal glances between Olgretien and Ruffelin.

Greycrown asks, "Any takers?"

Rasson says, "We have a champion, and the peasants rejoice."


The Right to Rule: Roblar vs. Deshal

Deshal drags the blade of his khopesh along each of his arms, letting a trail of blood seep down his flesh and over the blade.

Lylia says, "It was well fought on all sides."

Cryheart says, "Thank ye."

Speaking to Deshal, Leifa says, "Sir...your arms...."

Deshal steps forward, his greyish-black eyes respectfully regarding Roblar behind his blood red veil.

Roblar nods slowly at Deshal.

Warclaidh says, "Curved goat hide ..... very tough."

Speaking deeply to Deshal, Roblar asks, "Did we make it rain enuff blood?"

Speaking to Roblar, Evia says, "There can be only one, and we choose you."

Roblar runs a hand over his bear hide greatcloak, cleaning off anything the surroundings might have left.

The voice of Greycrown says, "Don't let the reflection off his bald head distract you."

Speaking deeply to Roblar, Olgretien says, "I think it is a Champion's blood the Vale wants."

Deshal darkly says, "We will battle."

Deshal nods at Roblar.

Roblar sets the bottom edge of his golvern shield on the ground and leans against it, relaxing.

Zosopage says, "I sense one more match coming."

Zosopage says, "Yep."

Roblar gazes in amusement at Olgretien.

Speaking deeply to Deshal, Roblar says, "Am yer Blood God, now."

Roblar nods once.

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra asks, "He did me like that a few weeks ago. Smarts a bit, hm?"

Roblar bows.

Roblar flashes a wide grin.

Roblar holds the two halves of his waraxe in each hand, carefully recombining the two halves of his weapon into one.

Blades says, "Hmm."

Blades says, "Wonder if this is a vengeful blood god."

Speaking to Deshal, Leifa says, "And you question our warriors."

Speaking to Deshal, Evia says, "You sir, are deposed."

The voice of Greycrown says, "Now Roblar does the clapping."


Blood For Blood

Blood red sand begins to swirl around Deshal's corpse, filling in the wounds of his body as he slowly rises to his feet.

Sofal says, "I have a feeling it is not over."

Speaking to Deshal, Evia says, "Your reign is over."

Deshal moves to stand in front of Roblar.

Speaking to Deshal, Leafiara admits, "That's a pretty neat trick, though."

Speaking helpfully to Roblar, Cruxophim suggests, "Perhaps now you hit him harder."

Roblar deeply says, "Da sands restore ems."

Roblar nods.

Deshal darkly says, "My reign has ended."

Lauranathalasa asks, "So Roblar, where you gonna install the castle?"

Deshal slings a curved goat hide shield over his shoulder.

Speaking to Deshal, Lylia asks, "What becomes of those who fall in righteous battle?"

Roblar smiles at Lauranathalasa.

Speaking to Roblar, Ysharra says, "Have fun here waiting for the next group of idiots to wander through."

Cryheart says, "Hopefully not here."

Deshal takes a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone off his head.

Roblar deeply says, "Dis time iz not reals."

Roblar deeply says, "Or wud build an outpost."

Roblar deeply says, "For when gets too cold."

Deshal offers Roblar a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone.

Speaking slowly to Roblar, Cruxophim ventures, "So you're staying, then?"

Roblar looks over at Cruxophim and shakes his head.

Speaking to herself, Leifa says, "If only I could conjure sands in such a manner."

Roblar deeply says, "Me avs Four Winds, hot enuff."

Deshal darkly says, "You have risen. May your blood serve our God."

Roblar deeply asks, "Yer blood you mean?"

Deshal offers Roblar a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone.

Speaking to Roblar, Thrassus says, "Take the veil."

Speaking approvingly to Roblar, Leafiara says, "Looks like ya win a veil."

Cryheart says, "Hopefully with good taste."

Roblar put an immense rolaren waraxe in his bear hide axe scabbard.

Roblar accepts Deshal's blood red veil.

Roblar nods at Deshal.

Deshal steps back slowly, towards the wall of bones.

Speaking to Roblar, Berkana says, "Blood bride."

Roblar nods.

Evia says, "The veil has been passed to the new generation."

Blades says, "You'll look cute wearin that around."

Speaking to Roblar, Ysharra says, "True. Not a scratch on you."

Roblar nods respectfully.

Roblar deftly slides a claw-grasped golvern shield over his shoulder and it settles into place.

Roblar gazes with interest at the blood red veil in his hand.

Speaking to Deshal, Geijon says, "No. You do not leave this place."

Blades says, "Little flutter of the eyes, get all gentlemen."

Speaking in Tehir to Deshal, Wolfloner says something you don't understand.

Roblar gestures at a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone.

Blades asks, "Show a little ankle maybe?"

Roblar puts a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone on his head.

Leifa says, "Chips of bone seem to be flecked throughout...."

Roblar flashes a quick grin.

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra says, "You will, if you listen to us."

Roblar deeply says, "Blocks out da sun, at least."

Speaking to Roblar, Soneiken says, "That was most likely ancient Tehir marriage ritual."

Speaking to Roblar, Radeek says, "He jus' give'd ya his mos' impor'ant possession."

Roblar runs a hand through his shoulder length dark brown hair, trying to make himself presentable.

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra says, "You will leave this place and move beyond the Gate."

Roblar grunts in tribute to Deshal as he bangs his fist sharply upon his rolaren plate armor in a barbaric salute.

Speaking to Deshal, Geijon says, "Fight all of th' gladiators if you plan to leave and win."

Roblar deeply says, "Well fought."

Deshal closing his eyes, he steps back into the wall of sharp bones, as one spears out from his chest, then another through his leg, a third through his head. He winces, but does not cry out, as he steps back even further, the bone spikes stretching out more.

Roblar nods in agreement at Radeek.

Cryheart asks, "Ok..folks shall we leave this area?"

Blades says, "Ouch."

Blades says, "Well..."

Leafiara curiously asks, "...ritual suicide?"

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra asks, "But you know that, don't you?"

Lylia quietly says, "No. Not yet."

Speaking dubiously to Cryheart, Cruxophim ventures, "With him just impaled there?"

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra asks, "You know where you are, yes?"

The voice of Greycrown says, "He is a strange fellow..."

Evia says, "He becomes one with this place."

Olgretien recites deeply:

"Rejoin Sir Dryheart"

Deshal reaches out one hand, curling his fingers to his palm, then opening them.

Blades says, "That's definitely his new name."

A speck of flesh falls from Deshal's face.

Blades says, "Let's go Dryheart."

Olgretien deeply says, "Well, they knew wut I meant."

Speaking amicably to Deshal, Leafiara offers, "It was well fought."

Berkana says, "I am sure Athalia would not agree."

Cryheart says, "We shall wait to make sure he departs."

Speaking to Deshal, Leafiara adds, "And a delight to watch."

The voice of Greycrown says, "Notice Deshal died the fastest..."

Speaking softly to Deshal, Razanetika says, "May peace finally be with you."

Speaking to Leafiara, Leifa says, "Not so much watching his face peel off like that."

Deshal looks down, still impaled by the bone spears, but seemingly surprised at the flesh falling from him like ash.

Cryheart says, "May ye rest in peace, Deshal."

Deshal darkly says, "Odd..."

Speaking hesitantly to Leifa, Leafiara says, "Well, yeah, that's a little uglier than expected..."

Cryheart says, "Your time has ended, long time past."

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra asks, "Is it?"

Speaking gently to Deshal, Leafiara says, "It's... really not. We tried to warn ya."

Speaking to Deshal, Evia says, "You no longer need the mortal flesh."

Deshal darkly says, "I am..."

Speaking to Deshal, Lylia says, "I doubt you would wish for peace. Instead, then, may power walk with you."

Roblar grunts.

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra says, "Let go."

Cryheart says, "Your spirit is entering the spirit world."

Roblar deeply says, "Looks like ez time az passed."

Warclaidh says, "Hello darkness my old friend."

Roblar faces Deshal and bashes his fist sharply against his golvern shield.

Speaking to Deshal, Evia says, "You become Spirit Warrior now."

Roblar nods respectfully at Deshal.

Speaking evenly to Deshal, Leifa says, "Goodbye, Blood God."

Speaking to Deshal, Zosopage says, "Now you may rest peacefully for eternity."

Speaking casually to Lylia, Cruxophim offers, "I could feed him to the pretties, if you'd really like to speed his passage."

Speaking to Deshal, Ysharra says, "You have been kept here in this prison. Tricked, had your life taken from you to serve another's power."

Speaking to Deshal, Greycrown says, "When you rot I'm coming back for those boots."

Speaking to Deshal, Ruffelin says, "May ye find favor in th' eyes o' yer god."

Berkana whispers to the group, "I did try to hasten his departure... no luck."

Lylia says, "We let another Paragon choose her passing. We would do no less here."

The left side of Deshal's face crumbles inward, leaving only part of his face remaining which has already been badly damaged by a bone spear. His hand withers and rots away, his khopesh crumbling and shattering like glass along the ground. His greyish-black eyes swell with blood and soon the spark of life he had goes dark, the rest of his body falling into itself, melting like a candle of flesh, before nothing remains.

Cryheart says, "And that is it."

Lylia quietly says, "Thus ends another Paragon."

Shinann says, "It is done."

Warclaidh says, "That's what's gonna happen to Roblar once he is defeated."

Zosopage says, "Two down."

Roblar nods at Radeek.

Speaking to Warclaidh, Geijon says, "Good luck."

Leafiara thoughtfully says, "So they definitely don't have to realize what's happened to them to be dealt with anyway..."

Roblar takes a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone off his head.

Evia says, "Now where is Peter...."

Roblar walks toward Radeek.

Roblar deeply says, "Dis best for your people."

Roblar offers Radeek a dark blood red veil inlaid with tiny jagged chips of bone.

Shinann says, "I do not know."

Chamorr heartily says, "And so ends Deshal."

Radeek accepts Roblar's blood red veil.

Evia yells, "Peter?"

Cryheart asks, "We all joined?"

Roblar smiles at Radeek.

Ysharra says, "...so say we all."

Speaking in Guildspeak, Lauranathalasa asks something you don't understand.

Shinann says, "Well, Pylasar."

Speaking to Roblar, Radeek says, "I is honoured...thank ya."

Roblar nods at Radeek.


Return to Pylasar

Cryheart says, "Ok moving out."

Cryheart says, "See if we can find Pylasar."

Cruxophim affably inquires, "Everyone in one piece, then?"

[travel]

Cruxophim disappointedly jokes, "Pity."

Roblar deeply says, "Maybe he heard his daughter agins."

Ysharra says, "We can never make that kind of promise, you're here."

Cryheart yells, "Pylasar?"

Leafiara asks, "Do we need to find Pylasar first?"

Speaking to Cruxophim, Ysharra says, "You're always hungry."

Geijon says, "He opened th' way."

The very sky begins to slowly melt like wax.

Thrassus says, "This pocket will collapse soon."

Leafiara speculates, "I guess the place might collapse in on itself... again."

Blades says, "Um."

Carolanne says, "Eegads."

Ysharra says, "We should find the portal."

Leafiara yells, "Pylasar, ya better hurry up!"

Cruxophim slowly warns, "Paragon's gone, gonna eject us all soon I'd wager."

Carolanne says, "It ate me freekin leg."

Draught says, "Oh."

Draught says, "Looks like we missed the action."

Ysharra says, "Peter can find his way home. He has ways we do not."

[travel]

[Sea of Fire, the Red Vale]

Massive dunes threaten to suffocate the sky, stretching upward and outward as far as the eye can see. The ground is endless sands of light tawny hues whorled with rivulets of scarlet stripes. The peaks of huge limestone cliffs rise in the distance like the walls of a pale earthen cage. Periodically a low thrumming sound echoes across the vale. You also see a shimmering silver portal.

Chamorr heartily says, "Portal is open."

Cryheart says, "Well..guess we leave."

Sir Cryheart's group just went through a shimmering silver portal.

[Melgorehn's Reach, Lake Eonak]

You are on the bank of a beautiful mountain lake that is fed by a waterfall gushing from the mountain side. There is a path which seems to actually lead up the side of the mountain. You also see an obstreperous glacier spirit that is flying around, a black-tipped twilight grey wolf, a spotted great horned owl, a shimmering silver portal, a touchy luck spirit that is flying around, a large raven that is flying around, a black-toed saddleback foxhound, a short-taloned eagle that is flying around, a barely visible trail leading into a grove of ancient trees and a cedar chip path.

Also here: Rasson, Dame Evia, Yakushi, Guarrin, Sir Geijon, Death Knight Warclaidh, Falvicar, Bernadette, Conquerer of Reim Berkana, Conquerer of Reim Blades, Arena Heroine Leafiara, Sir Ruffelin, Olgretien, Mayor Lylia, Xorus, Commander Roblar, Shinann, Zosopage, Melikor, Chaoswynd, Leifa, Berost, Razanetika, Cruxophim, Sofal, Lord Chamorr, Soneiken, Ysharra, Daiyon, Wolfloner, High Lady Lauranathalasa, Radeek, Sir Cryheart, Avalera, Lord Pylasar who is sitting

Pylasar clasps his arms around his knees and rocks back and forth.

Guarrin deeply says, "And Pyla..."

Cryheart says, "Here he is."

Pylasar clasps his arms around his knees and rocks back and forth.

Speaking amusedly to Pylasar, Leafiara says, "Oh, you were already out."

Zosopage says, "He will find his way out if he hasn't already."

Blades says, "Well yea, he's smart, not layin around a melting desert."

Pylasar looks up suddenly.

Speaking dubiously to Pylasar, Cruxophim ventures, "You alright, there?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Shinann asks, "Are you all right?"

Pylasar stands up.

Zosopage says, "Spoke too soon."

Speaking pleasantly to Pylasar, Leafiara says, "Thanks again. This was even more successful than the last time."

Speaking softly to Pylasar, Razanetika asks, "Did you get lost again?"

Thrassus says, "It looks like it was a bit much for him."

Pylasar says, "Yes..yes I'm..I'm fine."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra says, "We thought we lost you."

Pylasar asks, "Is it done?"

The voice of Greycrown says, "Except he missed the show."

Speaking to Pylasar, Lylia says, "Yes."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra says, "No you're not."

Speaking pleasedly to Pylasar, Leafiara affirms, "Sure is."

Evia says, "Uh huh."

Blades says, "Pretty sure he saw the show."

Pylasar says, "The witch she has..."

Pylasar shakes his head.

Carolanne says, "It... ate my leg."

Evia asks, "Whut?"

Pylasar says, "I'm sorry. Thank you. I'm sorry I could not help."

Speaking deeply to Pylasar, Roblar says, "Metinks me serve da blood god nows, or am."

Roblar deeply says, "Or always did."

Speaking to Pylasar, Ysharra asks, "Where did you go?"

Cryheart says, "Is ok."

Speaking to Pylasar, Leafiara counters, "You got us in. That was the help we needed."

Speaking gently to Pylasar, Cruxophim informs, "We handled it. Nothing new there."

Speaking to Pylasar, Leifa says, "Roblar has defended us once again, without your aid."

Speaking softly to Pylasar, Razanetika asks, "What has the witch done?"

Cryheart says, "The second paragon has been defeated."

Lylia says, "You brought us to him. It is a kind of help."

Speaking to Cruxophim, Carolanne says, "Thank you."

Pylasar says, "She has placed traps for me."

Cruxophim affably states, "Welcome."

Evia says, "Oh."

Geijon asks, "So the 2nd and 5th are vanquished?"

Speaking to Pylasar, Leafiara asks, "In the time pockets?"

Pylasar says, "Yes." [quite sure this was to Leafi and not Geijon, if only because Mynalari was the last one Pylasar helped make... meaning the sixth of seven, so by any reckoning it shouldn't be the second and fifth paragons who are gone]

Speaking softly to Pylasar, Razanetika asks, "To stop you from aiding us?"

The voice of Greycrown says, "This is why you should've gone in order."

Pylasar says, "I suppose she suspected I would perhaps one day..."

Speaking to Pylasar, Zosopage says, "Sad thing is they do not know what has happened to them so freeing them is gratifying."

Pylasar says, "Try to undo this."

Roblar deeply asks, "What, type of traps?"

Speaking reassuringly to Pylasar, Leafiara says, "It's okay. All you have to do is keep getting us in... that's all we need."

Speaking to Pylasar, Geijon says, "We know why she can stop you, Pylasar."

Pylasar says, "It does not matter."

Speaking unconvincingly to Pylasar, Cruxophim protests, "NOOO, surely not?!"

Pylasar says, "Thank you for helping."

Geijon says, "It will."

Pylasar says, "Good..good night."

Lord Pylasar just went southwest.
