Xorus Mayoral Campaign Event Logs

Enthralled by Xorus, Charlatos the 8th, Silvergate Inn

Questions Asked, Questions Answered

Speaking to Xorus, Maylan asks, "Are you going to stock some absinthe in your office if elected?"

Xorus nods at Maylan.

Speaking to Maylan, Xorus says, "All the absinthe you can swallow."

Speaking to Xorus, Maylan says, "Challenge accepted."

Xorus says, "Or ingest by any other means."

Speaking to Maylan, Xanthium says, "See, no more shoe polish for you."

Speaking to Maylan, Xanthium says, "Or paint thinner."

Xanthium nods slowly at Maylan.

Speaking to Xanthium, Maylan says, "Shoe polish isn't so bad."

Lylia says, "As we are awaiting the lovely Soliere's arrival, perhaps I could offer a bit of an introduction, although I do not think he needs one."

Lylia smiles at Xorus.

Xorus says, "Mm."

Xorus takes a drink from his Faendryl absinthe.

Evyl quips, "Who is that masked man."

Evyl shifts his eyes to Xorus.

Lylia continues, "It has been my pleasure to work with Lord Xorus Kul'shin as my campaign advisor and later, as my chief advisor throughout both my terms."

Lylia says, "When we fought and conquered at Glaoveln, he was there."

Lylia exhales the last of a virulent green mist.

Lylia says, "When the young Lady Larsya of Bourth was cruelly afflicted, he was instrumental in her cure."

Lylia says, "He has played a role in more history than I have read about in books."

Xorus says, "It was just like that, you know. Praxopius had his last breath, and suddenly virulent green mist arose from pillars on the beach."

Lylia clears her throat.

Lylia insists, "It is an illusion, you know."

Shadows dance between Lylia's outstretched fingers as she issues a command in archaic Faendryl.
Lylia gestures.
A cankerous ripple of vesicles temporarily disfigures Lylia's face and travels down her body, leaving a sickly green miasma as it disappears.

Lylia says, "I am proud to endorse him as my successor and honored to know him."

Lylia simply says, "It would be wise to vote for Xorus."

Lylia turns to face Xorus.

An agitated marbled white imp jumps over a silver and pearwood tray.

Lylia applauds.

Xorus tilts his head up.

Katara recites:

    "Huzzah to Lord Xorus as our guest here at Silvergate!"

(varied applause and toasting)

Juspera lackadaisically applauds, but does not appear sincere.

The bone white serpent hisses at Juspera.

Speaking to Lylia, Xorus asks, "Was that the election, then?"

Lylia says, "No."

Lylia says, "You still have to go through some debates. Take questions."

Xorus nods slowly.

Katara recites:

    "Lord Xorus, do honor us with a few words to the crowd"

Xorus says, "What Lylia spoke of was quite intimately related."

Xorus says, "Without my work on curing the heiress of Bourth, Praxopius would not have been able to weaponize it against the krolving."

Xorus clears his throat.

Xorus says, "Krolvin."

Xorus says, "Or assassinate Rysus with it."

Xorus says, "Such is the web of greatness I would cast for the Landing."

Strands of translucent webbing flow across the back of Xorus's hands...

Speaking to herself, Maylan says, "I like nets."

Maylan says, "They are superior to webs."

Speaking to Maylan, Xorus says, "Fish nets for all."

Katara recites:

    "As Lady of the Manor I happily pass hosting duties to Lady Soliere tonight, one of our esteemed officers"

Xorus says, "There are many fish nets in Shantytown."

Speaking to Katara, Soliere says, "Thank ya so kindly."

Xorus says, "... being next to the docks."

Xorus says, "Docks which were made rich with shipbuilding with our alliance with Praxopius and the lords of Idolone."

Lylia adds, "An alliance you were instrumental in securing."

Xorus says, "Indeed."

Xorus says, "His protege had threatened to murder me, but life is too long to hold petty grudges."

Xanthium chuckles.

Xorus glances at Lylia.

Lylia nods to Xorus.

Lylia asks, "Does anyone have any questions? Concerns?"

Juspera raises her hand.

Lylia nods at Juspera.

Xanthium raises her hand.

Shinann raises her hand.

Juspera says, "Okay what are you going to do about pickers being arrested in the tower for setting off traps because we're doing a very important service."

Juspera takes a deep breath.

Evyl says, "Larton doesn't get arrested."

Xanthium nods at Evyl.

Xanthium says, "That's true."

Xorus says, "What use is life if it is not lived dangerously? Surely that can be no crime."

Juspera stares at Xorus.

Thrassus says, "That's because he doesn't set off traps."

Juspera asks, "What?"

Speaking to Evyl, Melikor says, "Larton doesn't set off traps."

Melikor says, "Well, that I've seen, anyhow."

Evyl asks, "You don't think that ex-wife of his isn't a trap?"

Evyl makes a flicking motion with his hand.

Juspera laughs!

Juspera clasps her hand over her mouth.

Melikor looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Xorus says, "Public endangerment should certainly be waived in such situations."

Evyl says, "The derision of your fellow lockpickers is punishment enough, really."

Xorus says, "The next was, I believe, Xanthium."

Speaking to Xorus, Xanthium asks, "Do you have an economic plan for the longstanding issue of this frontier's Shantytown, by chance?"

Xanthium smiles at Xorus.

Xanthium says, "And thank you for letting me ask, of course."

Speaking to Xanthium, Soliere says, "A good question."

Xorus says, "I am given to understand that it is infeasible to make poverty illegal and banish all those who refuse to comply."

Xorus says, "As such, I will have to find work for them, similar to when we built the imperial ships."

Xanthium chuckles.
Yukito raises an eyebrow.
Melikor nods slowly.
Berkana smiles amusedly.
Xanthium nods to you.
Xanthium smiles.
Juspera wrinkles her nose.

Xorus says, "What is truly needed is far more robust banking. Lending, credit. Interest."

Berkana exclaims, "Barter!"

Xorus says, "The town council would need to be.. convinced... to make better use of the treasury."

Lylia grins slowly at Xorus.

Speaking to Xorus, Xanthium asks, "Would many of those people be able to enter into loan terms, as such?"

Speaking to Xanthium, you say, "They would need to acquire legal title to the land they are squa.. residing upon... folding into the tax base, and in turn thereby possessing collateral."

Xanthium nods slowly to Xorus.

Xanthium says, "Establishing property would start to solve some of the wealth inequity, yes."

Lylia says, "A path toward wealth and self-sufficiency, then."

Lylia nods.
Soliere nods slowly.

Evyl remarks, "Doesn't that truly begin with education?"
Evyl raises an eyebrow.

Xorus distantly says, "They would then be responsible for managing their debts."

Xanthium smiles at Xorus.

Speaking to Xorus, Xanthium says, "Thank you, Professor."

Xorus says, "Book learning is a fine thing."

Xorus takes a drink from his Faendryl absinthe.

Soliere grins.

Lylia raises her hand.

Xorus says, "Captain Shinann, I believe, was next."

Soliere agrees with Xorus.

Shinann says, "Since you were Mayor Rashere's main advisor, what major differences can we expect from her time in office, if you become mayor?  If that makes sense..."

Soliere smiles at Shinann.

Lylia raises her voice in merry laughter.

Xorus nods slowly.

Lylia cries, "I was going to ask that!"

Soliere chuckles.

Shinann begins chuckling at Lylia!

Xorus asks, "Kissing hands and shaking babies is not my strong suit. Is that how that phrase goes?"

Lylia leans over and whispers something to Xorus.

Xorus says, "I will be more aloof in some respects, in any event."

Xorus says, "The situation with our foreign relations has shifted in the past few years."

Xorus says, "While we had attempted to secure 'independence', which is to say sovereignty, the town council has repeatedly capitulated to the empire."

Xorus says, "I will have to work within these newer realities."

Xorus says, "Lylia will, of course, assist me in the..."

Xorus glances at Lylia.

Lylia smiles.

Soliere raises an eyebrow.

Xorus says, ".. shaking hands, things."

Lylia suggests, "Diplomatic arts?"

Soliere grins at Lylia.

Xorus nods at Lylia.

Xorus says, "We are of like mind in much. My interest, if you will, is in centralizing regional power on this town."

Xorus says, "Formalizing it. Making it permanent."

Xorus says, "There is no guarantee that some other settlement might not grow or be founded and in some decades be favored by Tamzyrr."

Shinann says, "Nothing is guaranteed.  Thank you."

Xorus nods.

Xorus says, "Whatever independence is possible will only come from holding central authority over the whole of Darkstone Bay."

Lylia says, "I suppose I shall ask a question anyway, even if Captain Shinann has stolen some of my thunder...that is, if she feels you have answered fully."

Speaking to Lylia, Shinann says, "I am done."

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "What is it that you bring that you did not see in previous mayors? And yes, this is a dangerous question -- but I am fine with an equally dangerous answer."

Lylia grins at Xorus.

Soliere quietly says, "Welcomes all.. make yerselves at home, guests."

Soliere smiles happily.

Lylia offhandedly remarks, "There is campaign literature in the basket. Cards, vellum sheets."

Speaking to Lylia, Xorus says, "When I was a bit older than you are now, I watched Selantha Anodheles break the Kannalan Alliance, and saw Gor'nustre razed to the ground."

Xorus idly says, "Accusations of 'black elven wizardry' notwithstanding."

Guarrin raises an eyebrow.

Xanthium stares at Xorus.

Lylia smiles at Xorus.

Elbromo's jaw drops.

Speaking to Xorus, Xanthium says, "But you're a sorcerer.  That's even bad vocabulary, much less boring conjecture."

Xanthium says, "Not that there's anything wrong with dark elven wizards."

Xanthium gives Thrassus a lingering kiss on the cheek.

Xorus says, "... and so I was there when Emperor Chaston formalized the prevailing sentiment in his edict. I have watched dynasties rise and fall, Toullaire become a wasteland, the Kingdom of Hendor become the Broken Kingdom, all three elven wars."

Xorus says, "In other words I know the intrigues of royal courts and the rise and fall of powers."

Xorus says, "With this ancient experience I will bring a kind of wisdom."

Xorus takes a drink from his Faendryl absinthe.

Lylia says, "Thank you, Xorus. It is why I chose you as my advisor. You have played a role in more history than I have ever learned."

Lylia apologetically says, "It seems I brought the wrong campaign literature. This is not written in the Common script."

Lylia grabs a scarlet-edged ashen parchment card from inside her cutwork leather satchel.

Lylia carefully places a scarlet-edged ashen parchment card on the floor.

Lylia asks, "Any further questions?"

Yukito raises his hand.

Yukito signals, "Could the literature be translated?"

Yukito glances at a small wicker basket.

Xorus says, "The human dialects have always changed so rapidly. If one studies closely enough the relation between Kannalan, Tehir, and imperial standard is clear."

Yukito signals, "So we all can understand it for this meeting?"

>read card
The page, written in Common, reads as follows:

"Keep Your Children Safe. Vote Xorus." 

 Below the stark block letters at the top of the page is a disturbing image of leprous, emaciated children, their clothing hanging off them in rags.  The artist has taken the time to detail their misery meticulously, from their scabrous and withered limbs to their distended bellies.  Their eyes are huge and hollow, all but begging the viewer to do something.  The bottom of the page bears a three-lobed burning eye.

>read vellum
The page, written in Common, reads as follows:

"Our Lord Is the Dreadlord" 

 Below the elegant calligraphy at the top of the page is an inked image of a gaunt figure in black riding a rearing nightmare steed.  The animal's flowing mane obscures the rider's left hand, but his right is raised and pointing ahead in an unmistakable gesture of command.  The stones on which the horse stands look suspiciously like the engraved blood marble that made up the altar at the Great Temple of Talador.

Xorus, "These ones are not the obscure dialects."

Lylia says, "No, the ones in the basket are."

>look in basket
In the wicker basket:
Special [3]: a sheet of fine silvery grey vellum (2), a fine silvered linen card
Total items: 3

Xorus says, "Ah, yes."

Xorus says, "They are identical. In so far as 'dark elven' glyphs can be translated into common."

Yukito nods to Xorus.

Yukito signals, "How do you interpret them?"

Xorus says, "They are the same as the ones in common on the floor."

Yukito nods.

Lylia picks up a small wicker basket.

Yukito signals, "That was all I wanted to know then. Thank you."

Shiril asks, "Did I entirely miss all of the questions?"

Speaking to Shiril, Soliere exclaims, "Mehopes not!"

Speaking to Shiril, you say, "That remains to be seen. Notwithstanding that one."

Yukito signals, "My questions were answered. Thank you."

Guarrin raises his hand.

Elbromo raises his hand.

Xorus glances at Soliere.

Xorus says, "I am told Guarrin is next."

Speaking deeply to Xorus, Guarrin says, "The Captain asked what I was most interested in, but to follow up on a related topic. What, if any, are your plans to improve the local defenses....given their current condition."

Xorus says, "These things are always matters of funding, and it is no small irony that the state of much of it is the fault of Grand Magister Octaven, the very same who provided the golems we now have in town."

Xorus says, "In time I would hope to secure a kind of recognition from the Northern Sentinel, letters patent if you will, such that all raw resources transported from this region are owed to ourselves a percentage even without passing through our port."

Xorus says, "It is with greatly expanded revenue that we may develop military strength."

Speaking deeply to Xorus, Guarrin asks, "And your priority for such spending?"

Xorus says, "Stone walls would be ideal. But I would have them built much further out than the present ones so as to not strangle the town."

Xorus says, "Walls, ships, towers, perhaps pylons. I would like to reach some accord with Ta'Faendryl with respect to wards against the major demonic."

Xorus says, "I believe Elbromo is next."

Elbromo says, "Thank you."

Elbromo smiles.

Elbromo says, "Sorry to be late."

Soliere smiles at Elbromo.

Soliere says, "No worries, Elbromo.. better late than ne'er at all."

(Shinann absentmindedly fans herself with her card.)

Shinann glances at a scarlet-edged ashen parchment card.

Elbromo asks, "I just caught the last part of your experience Xorus  it makes me wonder...why the Landing..why your interest here?"

Xorus smiles slightly.

Xorus says, "This is the focal point, the.. central ganglion, if you will... of world history, in these times."

Xorus says, "The center of weight of history shifts through the centuries."

Xorus says, "What matters in recent decades is here. Now."

Elbromo nods.

Elbromo asks, "May I ask  follow up?"

Xorus nods at Elbromo.

Elbromo says, "I think you may have already answered it prior..thank you."

Elbromo nods to Xorus.

Elbromo says, "Thats all."

Xorus nods.

Soliere looks thoughtfully at Elbromo.

Soliere nods.

Maylan blurts, "It's Maylan's turn!"

Shinann grins at Maylan.

Xanthium laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Lylia looks like she was about to say something to Maylan, but she hesitates, obviously having changed her mind.


Maylan clears her throat.

Speaking to Xorus, Maylan asks, "If Pylasar is captured one of these days, after this farce of a trial occurs...will you help me spring him from Time Jail?"

Juspera blinks.

Elbromo laughs!

A pale-faced coppery barn owl swivels his head around, suddenly sharp-eyed and intent.

Thrassus acts puzzled.

Thrassus asks, "Time... jail?"

Xorus says, "Why, I would never defy the Hall of Mages in this way, that would be illegal."

Xorus winks at Maylan.

Maylan works her fingers under her ivory knit hat and scratches her head.

Lylia grins slowly at Xorus.

Speaking to Maylan, Khirad asks, "If he is captured one of these days, won't he no longer be lost in time?"

Maylan says, "I dont know if he is lost or hiding! But it's good he's far away."

Speaking confusedly to Xorus, Maylan says, "So that is a no."

Xorus says, "He is in one of the most difficult of all places for them to reach him."

Xorus leans over and whispers something to Maylan.

Maylan nods to Xorus.

Speaking to Xorus, Maylan says, "OKAY we will abandon him to his fate."

Maylan winks at Xorus.
Maylan winks at Xorus.
Maylan winks at Xorus.
Maylan winks at Xorus.
Maylan glances around the room.
Maylan winks at Xorus.

Soliere flashes a wide grin.

Xorus says, "Indeed. He is guilty of the highest crimes."

Xorus examines his fingernails.

Shinann frowns.

Khirad raises his hand.

Soliere nods at Khirad.

Xorus nods at Soliere.

Soliere says, "Redpaw woud like me ta pose a question on 'is behalf... which is..."

Speaking to Xorus, Soliere asks, "Redpaw woud like ta know bout shops in town... say it woud be nice ta have more of em... how woud ya encourage entrepreneurship?"

Soliere smiles at Redpaw.

With his mouth agape, Redpaw executes a slow, exaggerated wink at Soliere and then rolls his eyes dramatically.

Xorus says, "What is needed above all is reform of the banks. Ledgers of credit, that is what drives enterprise, ultimately."

Xorus says, "Of course. One can only provide the water, the horses must be willing to take it."

Xorus says, "The greatest impediment to.. development, commerce... in this place is the murderous pirates of Glaoveln."

Lylia gazes with interest at Xorus.

Shiril raises an eyebrow at Xorus.

Xorus says, "When Praxopius' notes are finally delivered to me, I will see about adapting this weapon to utterly eradicate them."

Shiril laughs!

Shiril coughs.

Akenna raises her hand.

Lylia nods emphatically to Xorus!

Guarrin raises an eyebrow.

Xorus takes a drink from his Faendryl absinthe.

Speaking to Xorus, Soliere says, "Redpaw is satisfied with yer response an' finished askin question fer now.. thank ya kindly."

Xorus nods at Soliere.

Soliere smiles.

Xorus says, "Then the next is... Khirad."

Speaking to Xorus, Khirad says, "How will you deal with the human empire, if elected? And what will you tell the...zealots...who frequently forget that we are a frontier  town and, as yet, a rival empire? I do not expect you to reveal your plans. That would be...inefficient and premature. But I would like to see the shape under the sheet, if you will."

Soliere looks thoughtfully at Khirad.

Lylia murmurs, "The shape under the sheet...what an elegant turn of phrase."

Juspera nods slowly.

Lylia gazes with interest at Khirad.

Shiril nods at Lylia.

Khirad turns an inquisitive ear toward Xorus.

Xorus says, "Ah, so. The small questions."

Xorus chuckles.

Xorus says, "This will take a moment to explain."

Lylia grins at you.

Soliere grins at Xorus.

Lylia says, "There is a great deal to that question, yes."

Xorus says, "In the present situation we have delayed any more aggressive expansion in the form of annexation, as the Vaalor now holding sovereign lands on the edge of Talador poses a risk of conflict that would endanger the Valley of Gold entente with the Illistim."

Xorus says, "The Vaalor military alliance with the Illistim is stronger and would effectively negate it if some hostilities arose."

Xorus says, "That being said, the town council would not cooperate with us on the full letter of Lord Chamberlain Retassal's demands, and so it was the Empire that gave the elven settlement to the Elven Nations."

Lylia settles into a swing chair.  She gives it a slight push, and it begins to sway in a relaxing rhythm.

Lylia leans forward and rests her chin in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Xorus says, "... and so, in effect, capitulated to the notion that this region is an imperial protectorate of the Turamzzyrian Empire. Of Tamzyrr specifically, under the purview of Earl Jovery."

Khirad nods slowly to Xorus.

Xorus says, "Earl Jovery on the whole remains a soft touch with us, and so I will attempt to acquire recognition of Wehnimer's Landing as the capital of this protectorate around Darkstone Bay."

Xorus says, "So that we are owed revenue off all resources from the region, such that the northern baronies may not freely plunder it."

Khirad smiles.
Thrassus nods to Xorus.
Elbromo raises an eyebrow.
Soliere raises her hand.
Akenna raises her hand.

Thrassus says, "It's hard telling how much potential revenue the town has missed out on."
Thrassus leans on his staff.

Akenna frowns.

Xorus says, "In a few decades hence there may be no Northern Sentinel at all, and for that matter, the Argent Mirror has ruled for nearly two hundred and fifty years and may be forced out by the Council of Thrones by then as well."

Elbromo blinks.

Akenna raises an eyebrow.

Xorus says, "The situation may be entirely different by 5150, and we should be as far strengthened as possible for the opportunities."

Khirad says, "Gving the town the opportunity to build more political and financial power for years to come.  Practical. My thanks, Professor Xorus."

Xorus nod slowly.

Speaking to Xorus, Soliere says, "Redpaw woud like ta hear a lil mer about Earl Jovery, if ya woud not mind..."

Soliere says, "I as well, was not familiar wi'that one."
Soliere blushes a nice shade of rosy pink.

Xorus says, "Earl Jovery of North Hendor is the Northern Sentinel of the Turamzzyrian Empire. He has overlord power over the northern imperial territories."

Xorus says, "As such, when they treat this town as an 'imperial protectorate', a dependent territory or dominion, it is coming in the form of royal decrees from the Earl."

Xorus says, "He was the one who had the Hendoran outpost built outside the town. He appointed Cordarius as the Regional Envoy on our town council."

Akenna looks lost in thought.

Speaking to Xorus, Soliere says, "Thank ya so kindly."

Soliere smiles.

Xorus says, "Without other foreign powers recognizing and supporting our sovereignty, and lacking the might to repel such imperial claims, we might as well play along until more auspicious conditions."

Xorus nods at Soliere.

Xorus says, "... and Akenna is next."

Elbromo says, "Such a shape under them sheets."

Akenna nods once.

Speaking to Xorus, Akenna says, "My question is along the same vein but more to do with the Elven Nations.  Will you repair some of the ties between the houses and the frontier, for instance, House Illistim and of course House Vaalor? They are rather large influences in the Nations.  I'm merely curious if you will seek out and if not, perhaps be open to the trade and ties of goodwill with them?  Though now, I'm hesitant to ask as you seem to think in centuries and not months..."

Akenna raises an eyebrow.

Xorus says, "I was the strongest advocate of cooperating with House Vaalor in its demands for recompense over past ill will."

Lylia adds, "He was.  I relied on his advice before my meeting with Lord Chamberlain Retassal."

Xorus says, "The trick of it is that.. ah, how do I put this..."

Xorus says, "... protectorates are not sovereign, and thus do not conduct their own foreign policy. That is precisely why Earl Jovery appointed a member of the Hall of Mages to act as our foreign ambassador."

Xorus says, "While I might endeavor to foster some good will, if I might encounter the Sovereign Commander instead of being mediated through the Lord Chamberlain, or the Mirror if she is more disposed to be amenable than she was several years ago..."

Xorus says, "... truly, I would have to act around our own town council, perhaps foment situations for them."

Xorus smiles slightly.

Akenna nods cheerfully to you.

Speaking to Xorus, Akenna says, "Thank you."

Akenna smiles at Xorus.

Soliere adopts an agreeable expression.

Soliere asks, "Be there any other questions fer Xorus? show'a hands?"

Speaking to Lylia, Soliere asks, "How we doin' on time, Mayor?"

Lylia asks, "I believe that is up to Xorus and his audience, if there are no further questions...?"

Xanthium says, "I should probably get to the Temple soon to prepare, but I do appreciate beign allowed to come and even ask questions."

Lylia says, "It is wonderful to have representatives of other campaigns attending and asking questions in good faith."

Soliere says, "Evryone."

Soliere carefully places a glittering golden backpack on the floor.

Soliere says, "I brung a wee gift from our house.. be sure ya get yer ebony sack from backpack here..  all ya... thank ya all fer comin."

Lylia reminds, "Feel free to take a leafl -- I mean, a pamphlet. They are in the wicker basket."


Lylia adds, "Or a card. Spread the message."

Speaking to Xorus, Soliere says, "Thank you, Xorus... i've admired yer research fer many years.. an' apreciate ya comin out an' takin yer time here."

Speaking to Lylia, Xanthium says, "I said so earlier, and I'll repeat, Professor Xorus has been an honorable candidate.  It's almost a shame we have to choose.  I hope it's not disloyal to Faerinn to say that I would not be terribly disappointed if Xorus is the victor."

Speaking to Soliere, Xorus says, "Of course."

Soliere says, "Oh Xorus! has a upcomin event..."

Lylia removes a deep ebony sack from in a glittering golden backpack.

Speaking to Lylia, Soliere asks, "Is it in yer literature?"

Lylia put a deep ebony sack in her wrap.

Speaking to Soliere, Lylia murmurs, "No, the literature is more...aspirational and inspirational than informative."

Lylia continues, "But on the Night of the Huntress, on the thirteenth, the Order of the Shadow has a little something planned."

Lylia says, "I would hate to spoil the surprise of it."

Lylia touches one finger to her lips.

Lylia smiles.

Speaking to Soliere, Xanthium says, "Thank you again, hostess."

Akenna asks, "It isn't in a temple, is it?"

Xanthium laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Lylia says, "But shortly before Cordarius returns that evening, it will occur."

Lylia says, "No, I do not believe so."

Lylia grabs a black vruul skin button with a three-lobed burning eye reading, "Obey Xorus" from inside her cutwork leather satchel.

Lylia asks, "Anyone need a button?"

Lylia raises an eyebrow.

Lylia says, "They are free...for now."

Xorus darkly jokes, "Get them while it is still legal to not have them."

Soliere recites:

    "Tonight at 11pm... there be a event where ya can support Xorus"

Soliere recites:

    "Vipershroud's Temple of Ivas, Courtyard... so be there if yer able... it's soundin lotsa fun actualy...
     And"

Soliere recites:

    "14th of Charlatos... here at Silvergate.. all candidates will compete in a Mayoral Triathlon... 8pm... in our Courtyard it begins"

Soliere recites:

    "Last but not least..."

Soliere recites:

    "Don't ferget the BIG Mayoral Debate at Moot Hall, on 14th after 11pm"

Speaking to Lylia, Soliere asks, "Did ya tellem yet bout spa event?"

Soliere raises an eyebrow in Lylia's direction.

Soliere says, "I so sorrie i missed a lot of th'start.. but it be worth tellin again if so."

Lylia says, "By all means, do. I have not yet mentioned it, and I really should be off to prepare for tonight."

Soliere recites:

    "Spa Night with Lylia an' Xorus will be the 17th at 11:30pm, as far as we know, if no complications arises"

Soliere says, "Thank ya again all..  be safe in yer journeys."

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "Yes, I suppose this might be a good time to talk with you about 'spa night'..."

Xorus glances at Lylia.

Xorus asks, ".. spatha, like a narrow gladius sword...?"

Speaking to Xorus, Lylia says, "Should I steal you away for campaign preparation, or let you rest before the...no, 'spa.' It is a kind of self-care ritual. Oils and paints."

Xorus says, "I am not understanding the distinction."

Lylia says, "We shall talk on the way to the temple."
