TaliesinNYC: What has gone before: (371) Thom: "So, even the Aes Sedai are of many minds
on things."
(373) Rhian: "If I hadn't used that weave, you would not be here."
(375) Morti: "But.. you know that.." :backpeddling:
"Nevermind.."
(373) Rhian: "Yes, we are. There are deep cracks in the Tower though you
would not know it if you were unschooled in our ways."
(371) Thom: "If it is that powerful, why did you not use it against that
creature that you were fighting when we met?"
(373) Rhian: "Because I did not have the ter'angreal that allowed me to
use that weave until recently."
(371) Thom: "Oh? Where did you pick that up?"
(373) Rhian: "While you were busy in the Floating Tomb, I did a little
search of my own, along with Drenla."
(373) Rhian: "You probably have many questions."
(375) Morti: "Oh...." :recalling the wand, he reaches into his pocket
to fish it out and hand it back to Rhian: "I almost forgot.. you dropped
it."
(371) Thom: "Ah yes, you did get separated from us for a bit there. And as
I recall, in helping us all get out, you were so drained that you passed out then
as well."
** (373) Rhian takes it. "A dangerous thing, this. The dwarves had a
channeler who, not understanding the perils of balefire, nearly wiped out an
entire contingent before he was slain from overchanneling." **
(371) Thom: "But that was a male - so it is dangerous in your hands as
well?"
** (375) Morti blinks, cocking his head aside in worry, as Rhian takes back the
wand, and tells of a former unfortunate user. **
(373) Rhian: "You perceive things correctly."
(373) Rhian: "I am not powerful enough to use that weave, much less learn
it. This wand, this ter'angreal, allows me the ability but at a price."
(375) Morti: "H-how much of a price?"
(373) Rhian: "If I use too much of the Power, stilling can result. Or
death." (shrugs)
(371) Thom: "So it doesn't matter whether it is a male or a female, it is
dangerous. And yet, many claim that all men are dangerous. Doesn't that mean
all females should be considered dangerous as well?"
(373) Rhian: "That depends on your point of view." (curtly)
(375) Morti: "If.. another Aes Sedai got the Tar'angreal... one of the
Black Sisters... they could use the Balefire as well..?"
(373) Rhian: "By and large, you have less to fear from one such as me than
a wilder or a male channeler, especially a male untrained in the Power."
** (371) Thom shakes his head, "And you chose to join a group with so many
twists, turns, and different viewpoints? And here you want to get back to it as
well." **
(373) Rhian: "In fact," (archly) "I should have more to fear
from YOU. Your sword is a dangerous thing."
(373) Rhian: "I am unsure if I want to return in light of what your friend
has told me."
(371) Thom: "So some say." Thom pauses, looking at Morti, "What
did he say to change your mind?"
(373) Rhian: "Oh, that a new Amyrlin has been elected, that the old one
has fled, that there has been a schism in the Tower and that chaos rules the
city. And that he lies in a dungeon at the bottom of the Tower because of his
own foolishness."
(373) Rhian: "And the new Amyrlin is none other than Elaida."
(grimaces)
** (375) Morti forms a deep frown on his clothen visage, "What did he do,
to be put in the dungeon?" **
(371) Thom: "What? Oh great..."
** (371) Thom rubs his forehead. **
(373) Rhian: "It seems that your friend came to the Tower with a tale that
alarmed the Sisters, except that he went about his investigations the wrong
way. Asking an Aes Sedai about the existence of the Black Ajah is almost the
same as opening a bag filled with scorpions."
(371) Thom: "Damn, I was afraid that he would speak. Sometimes, he can be
as bad as Morti here with his mouth."
(373) Rhian: "He interrogated an Accepted, spoke to the Mistress of
Novices and was made to see the Amyrlin because of the urgency of his request.
And Elaida threw him in the dungeon after berating the Mistress for wasting her
time."
** (375) Morti casts a frown to Thom's comment **
(373) Rhian: "I would have gone about it differently of course."
(371) Thom: "Sorry Morti, but you know what I mean."
** (375) Morti gives a meek nod. **
(373) Rhian: "Elaida is a Red who makes others of her order seem like
novices."
(371) Thom: "As would I. So, with what you know of this Elaida, how likely
is she to allow someone access, even limited, to the library?"
(373) Rhian: "I have had a lot to think about."
(373) Rhian: "WHAT?!"
(373) Rhian: "You can't seriously be thinking of looking in the Tower's
library?!?"
(375) Morti: "Bad idea?"
(371) Thom: "Uh, yeah. I thought that had been mentioned to you,
apparently not. I was going to try to read what I could about Ringrist,
bartering with information about our time with the d'Ambervilles - which I
thought might interest and Aes Sedai."
(373) Rhian: "You could try. But I doubt you would succeed."
(373) Rhian: "Elaida hates dealing with men with a passion."
(375) Morti: "Hmm.. I could use a spell to look like a woman, if that
helps."
(371) Thom: "Then I guess not."
(380) Daelan: " Just because one looks like a female does not mean you
know how to act liike a female Morti.''
(371) Thom: "Speaking of Ringrist, have you had enough time to think about
the attacker we faced earlier?"
(371) Thom: "Oh, hey Daelan, didn't hear you come up."
(373) Rhian: "If you want to go to the Tower, I shall not stop you.
However, I doubt I shall be returning there."
** (375) Morti nods to Dael, but looks to Rhian, "Where will you be going
then?" **
(373) Rhian: "Why, with you, naturally. But not to the Tower."
(380) Daelan: " My appologizes,moving quietly is a trait one does not quit
easily.''
(373) Rhian: "Someone has to keep you from interacting with the
Forsaken."
(371) Thom: "Well, we do need to go nonetheless, we have to somehow help
Sevis."
(371) Thom: "Is that another branch of the Aes Sedai?"
(380) Daelan: " So Sevis has managed to get himself thrown into the Aes
Sedai dungeon?"
(373) Rhian: "He mentioned that we should specifically avoid the Tower and
that he doesn't need our help."
(375) Morti: "He doesn't?"
(371) Thom: "Oh? Did he also mention where and when we should meet up with
him then?"
(373) Rhian: "That was his message."
(371) Thom: "I guess that means no boat trip then Morti."
(373) Rhian: "The Forsaken? Yes. They were once Aes Sedai but broke their
oaths and sealed themselves to the Dark One."
** (375) Morti scratches his head. "Aren't we still going to
Nith'tar'valon to meet the Aes Sedai though?" **
(371) Thom: "That is, if we believe the message. I really want to, but I
worry that Sevis doesn't understand what he has gotten himself into."
(373) Rhian: "It seems that, based on your description of the one who
called herself 'Darenne', that you spoke to the Forsaken known as
Semirhage."
(371) Thom: "So, they are Black Ajah? I thought that few Aes Sedai
believed in the Black Ajah, so why would they have another name as well?"
** (373) Rhian turns serious. "They are worse than Black Ajah. Far
worse." **
(371) Thom: "And by worse, you mean powerful, don't you?"
(373) Rhian: "After we leave here, you will call yourselves by a new name.
If you are to go to Nith'Tar Valon, and it seems that you will, then I shall
not risk being made to return to the Tower if Elaida rules it, and you will
need to avoid being captured or pressed into service."
(373) Rhian: "Correct."
(375) Morti: "Pressed into service..?"
(380) Daelan: " It would be like all the other things that have been
placed in front of us Morti,if you wish to rescue Sevis you must do this task
for us here at the tower.''
(373) Rhian: "The Amyrlin has decreed that all able-bodied men who live in
the gate towns of Felanost and Dashain shall enter into the service of the
Amyrlin as members of the Tower Watch."
(375) Morti: "But.. we don't live there. We're just visiting."
(371) Thom: "We will have to discuss about going to Nith'Tar Valon still.
As far as Darenne, or Semirage, is concerned - I felt as though she was quite
powerful. After all, she seemed to recogonize Ringrist, but was not threatened
by it. That eyeless creature we fought out in the ruins didn't know it, but was
quite afraid of it once cut."
(373) Rhian: "Of course you are. But the press gangs don't take no for an
answer."
** (372) Atross comes upstairs, opening the door to join the conversation,
seeing as no one else has stayed down in the common room. **
(372) Atross: "This sounds like an awfully familiar conversation. Wasn't
it like this somewhere before?"
(375) Morti: "Hmmm.... You think Elaida may be working with the
Tempest?"
(371) Thom: "Oh good. Since we are all up here, we have to decide our next
move. Obviously, we were planning on heading to Nith'Tar Valon to drop off
Rhian Sedai, and check on some things while there. Now that Rhian does not wish
to return, we have to decide if we are going there or not."
(373) Rhian: "I doubt it."
(371) Thom: "Same here. After all, Andress was trying to cut off Nith'Tar
Valon."
(375) Morti: "What do yo think they'll do to Sevis then?"
(373) Rhian: "Most likely, they'll forget about him."
(375) Morti: "That seems kind of strange."
(373) Rhian: "Elaida's first order of business will be to secure her rule
within the Tower and to present a unified front to all. The Tower must not
fall. It must seem as if there has been a continuity of rule from one Amyrlin
to the next."
(373) Rhian: "I doubt she will have any time to see to the fate of a
fool."
(375) Morti: "oh..."
(371) Thom: "Which might be part of how Sevis believes he can take care of
himself. After all, Tektite might be able to help him escape."
(373) Rhian: "But if you wish to go to the Tower, then I shall not stop
you. However, if you go there, you will no longer be known by yourselves."
(371) Thom: "Other than Sevis, what real reason do we have to go
there?"
(373) Rhian: "No, you will call yourselves with a name of your choosing,
with a history contrived so that if someone were to ask you, you would be from
somewhere else." (looks at all of you, making sure to rest her gaze on
Daelan)
(375) Morti: "Hmmm.. I was kind of hoping to get in touch with the
sisters... to leave something with them... but..." :groans in thought:
(371) Thom: "I was hoping to as well Morti, but if it is unlikely that
Elaida would meet with us males, what good would it do?"
(375) Morti: "If they're just randomly pressing men into service, would it
matter what we call ourselves?"
(373) Rhian: "It matters a great deal. You need to enter the gate town
somehow. And people talk."
(380) Daelan: " I have no interest in speaking to anyone in the tower,I am
going merely because the others are or were.''
(371) Thom: "Before we worry about new names, does anyone have a pressing
reason as to why we should still go?"
(380) Daelan: " Though if they are unwilling to speak to males,I wonder if
they would be interested in speaking to a Quessir,though I somehow doubt they
would be willing.''
** (371) Thom looks to Morti and Atroos for any reasons. **
(371) Thom: (( *Atross ))
(375) Morti: "Well.. I would like to make sure Sevis gets out alright..
Other than that.. well.. it probably wouldn't have worked anyway.."
(380) Daelan: " I thought the only reason for going there was to drop off
Rhian and for you all to seek information,now it seems the only viable reason
to go would be to try and rescue your friend.''
(372) Atross: "I just think we need to catch up to Sevis. He's a little
out of place here, even if he escapes the dungeons somehow."
** (375) Morti looks to Rhian, asking, "Are there any other Aes Sedai in
the ciy who might help us, if Elaida and her followers won't?" **
(371) Thom: "That's what I have been saying Daelan. Although Sevis claims
to not need help, I worry about him."
(373) Rhian: "I know of one or two. Veran Sedai might, if she has not
fled."
** (373) Rhian looks at Thom. "That sword of yours must be hidden once we
enter the gate town." **
(375) Morti: "That would be nice. At least she might be able to explain
better what is happening, and how Elaida took over. Maybe she has opposition or
something, right?"
(373) Rhian: "I won't have every Tower Watchguard or Aes Sedai coming down
around our heads because of an unsheathed ter'angreal."
(371) Thom: "Of course, that was the plan since before we even got to this
town."
(373) Rhian: "See to it then." (curtly)
(373) Rhian: "Now then, there is the matter of how you choose to travel to
the Tower."
(371) Thom: "So, we are still going? Sorry, but why?"
(373) Rhian: "You can go by road, or by boat, or by using the Ways. Each
has its distinct advantages and disadvantages."
(375) Morti: "Which way's the fastest?"
(373) Rhian: "The Ways, of course. But there are dangers."
(375) Morti: "Hmmm... second fastest..?"
(373) Rhian: "By riverboat. Assuming you can get past the spirit of the Bridge of Voices."
(373) Rhian: "The advantage of riverboat is that it leads directly to the Tower City itself, without the need to pass through a gate town."
(375) Morti: "You'd figure they'd do something about a spirit disrupting a
major throughway
(373) Rhian: "Except that once we are at port, you will need to climb the
Thousand Steps to gain entrance to the city itself."
(375) Morti: "What's the thousand steps?"
(373) Rhian: "The story is that the Bridge is haunted. If you believe in
tales like that."
(375) Morti: "Are there really a thousand of them?"
(373) Rhian: "Nith'Tar Valon is a city that was constructed using the One
Power and flies above the ground on platforms made of Air. The base of the city
is supported by a pinnacle of solid Earth, around which have been carved stone
steps that descend to a landing in the river. Those are the Thousand Steps. The
city is also connected to the mainland by a bridge woven of Spirit, Air and
Fire known as the Bridge of Light. The Bridge is powered by the One Power and the moons of
Andurin and is a wonder to behold."
(375) Morti: "Wow.. I have to see that."
(380) Daelan: " If I may,when did all this take place? The new person
stepping into power? The capturing of Sevis take place? And the sudden sealing
off of the tower from all men?''
(373) Rhian: "Elaida led the coup about a week or so ago. Sevis' capture
occurred three days ago."
(373) Rhian: "I did not know of any of this until he and I had a
conversation in tel'aran'rhiod."
(375) Morti: "Did everyone just go along with it?"
(373) Rhian: "As I said, there was a schism in the Tower. Siuan, the old
Amyrlin, fled, with all of the Blue Ajah."
(380) Daelan: " So all of this took place while Andress was here doing
whatever she was doing here,now that map seems to be making more sense than
ever Morti,perhaps it had something to do with things that have taken place or
were going to.''
(373) Rhian: "I imagine there have been a few other Sisters that have left
with them."
(375) Morti: "Do you think your friend in the city would know where Siuan
might have fled to?"
(373) Rhian: "Possibly."
(371) Thom: "Assuming she had any idea about the events Daelan. Of course,
this change at Nith'Tar Valon wight have also been what made Andress drop her
plans and leave."
(380) Daelan: " Or perhaps all of these things had to take place in order
for her to leave Thom.''
(371) Thom: "Perhaps, but either way - the map is useless now."
(375) Morti: "Hmmm..." :looks to Rhian: "What about The Tower's
attitude toward visiting diplomats. If a Citadel Magus like Drenla or me
arrives would they still be able to press them into service or turn them
away?"
(375) Morti: "Probably have to be Drenla. I don't even have a staff yet to
prove my position."
(373) Rhian: "
(375) Morti: :mumbles in addition something about not being born yet either:
(373) Rhian: "That might be an opening, but your names would need to be
changed."

have proven that time and time again, they have no remorse for what they do. I

willingness to repent for their evils. Only those unwilling to repent should be
killed mercilessly."

energy appears atop the caster's head. The sphere is stationary and does not
move. All incoming spells that target him or her are absorbed by the sphere up
to a certain limit. Once the limit is reached, the caster must find a way to
escape the immediate area, for the sphere will explode and deal a significant
amount of damage to all parties in the immediate area of effect."

: ** (36) Morti cringes at the skeletal remains,
wondering aloud, "No one has buried him after this long?" **
[Sun Dec 16 00:48:42 2007]
: (34) DM: Around the decayed corpse are several
coins and gems, as well as the occasional rusted weapon.
[Sun Dec 16 00:52:12 2007]
: (34) Drenla: "Apparently not."
[Sun Dec 16 00:52:43 2007]
: (34) Drenla: "He's been dead for a few
months it seems like."

not sure, is the whole group travelling across the bridge? or have the groups
already split?
[Sun Dec 16 00:55:24 2007]
: (39) Zane (Mac): "Shall we do the
honors then?"
[Sun Dec 16 00:55:29 2007]
: (39) Thom: "Shall we do the honors
then?"
[Sun Dec 16 00:56:17 2007]
: ** (36) Morti nods, as he looks over the body, for
an identifying symbols or markings on him or the sword. "Has it really
been so long since anyone has come by?" **
[Sun Dec 16 00:56:36 2007] : ** (39) Thom lays the
corpse down as gently as possible, leaving the sword where it lies and letting
the corpse rest on it's side. **
[Sun Dec 16 00:56:52 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): they've split
[Sun Dec 16 00:57:00 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): and I'm not running two split groups tonight
[Sun Dec 16 00:57:14 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): the other two will be taking a back seat since the third PC
isn't here
[Sun Dec 16 00:57:46 2007] : (34) Drenla: "More
likely they haven't really bothered or didn't want to get involved."
[Sun Dec 16 00:57:55 2007]
: (36) Lunauc: (whispering): (GW):
ah.. thought they'd wait till we reached the boats. Ok, nvm
[Sun Dec 16 00:57:55 2007]
: (34) Drenla: "I'm speculating
though."
[Sun Dec 16 00:58:21 2007]

whatever stones he can find. **

"It is a terrible thing. In front of a shrine and all. **

Zane (Mac): (whispering): Is there anyway
you can send me the identifications of those items again, when Open froze, I
lost the log. Otherwise, I can wait until you post this log on the site, but I
know how long that takes you sometimes. :-P
[Sun Dec 16 01:02:36 2007] : (39)
Thom: "It makes you wonder what could have
caused this individual to impale himself. Being near the shrine, guilt
maybe?"
[Sun Dec 16 01:03:15 2007] : (34)
TaliesinNYC: (whispering): you already have
the log
[Sun Dec 16 01:03:34 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): Huh?
[Sun Dec 16 01:03:50 2007] : (36)
Morti: "I dunno. Do you really think he
did it to himself?" :looks over the body for a sword sheathe, matching the
blade through it's belly, or one of the rusty weapons on the ground.
[Sun Dec 16 01:04:04 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Appears that way."
[Sun Dec 16 01:04:08 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): look under OpenRPG+/myfiles/Logs
[Sun Dec 16 01:04:27 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): use Windows Explorer
[Sun Dec 16 01:04:41 2007] : (39) Zane (Mac): (whispering): No I don't - since I am at my parents, I didn't have the
auto log function set up on this computer.
[Sun Dec 16 01:05:02 2007] : (34)
TaliesinNYC: (whispering): well don't worry
about it, I'll e-mail it to the group later
[Sun Dec 16 01:05:03 2007] : ** (36) Morti cringes. "Why go and do something like
that? It's just horrible." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:05:18 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): I have it now,
but I didn't earlier. I checked for it. :-) Ok, sweet.
[Sun Dec 16 01:05:51 2007] : (39)
Thom: "As are many things that we have
seen in our travels."
[Sun Dec 16 01:06:43 2007] : (36)
Morti: "But what could he have felt that
guilty over?"
[Sun Dec 16 01:07:28 2007] : ** (36) Morti gets out a
handkerchief, and begins collecting the gems and coins in it, tying the corners
like a small bag to place them on the shrine as an offering. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:08:16 2007] : (39)
Thom: "I don't know, and if that's how it
happened - I doubt I really want to know."
[Sun Dec 16 01:10:10 2007] : (34)
DM: (how much time do you spend gathering up the
debris?)
[Sun Dec 16 01:10:43 2007] : (36)
Morti: (long as it takes.. or until Thom says
to quit playing in the dirt)
[Sun Dec 16 01:11:45 2007] : (39)
Thom: (( basically until the corpse is covered.
Can't do the job only halfway - but it doesn't have to look pretty, just do the
job. ))
[Sun Dec 16 01:12:19 2007] : (34) DM: (ok, then
I'll send the contents in a node)
[Sun Dec 16 01:14:18 2007] : (36) Morti: (ok,
but Morti is planning to just place most of it on the shrine, thinking if the
man was guilty, perhaps it was from robbing the shrine. If there are any easily
repaired objects, I'll offer some Mending spells to the cause as well.)
[Sun Dec 16 01:16:01 2007] : (34)
TaliesinNYC: (whispering): there's writing
on the shrine
[Sun Dec 16 01:16:25 2007] : (36)

hmmm... ))
[Sun Dec 16 01:16:55 2007] : (36)
Morti: (also cast a detect magic, out of
habitual curiousity)
[Sun Dec 16 01:17:26 2007] : (39)
Thom: (( good idea - anything magical we might
want to put to better use after all. ))
[Sun Dec 16 01:18:44 2007] : (34)
TaliesinNYC: (whispering): the ruby serpent
and the three coral items
[Sun Dec 16 01:18:57 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): even if not
magical - Thom would collect the ruby serpent, the rubies and opal - to pay for
them cleaning up in front of the shrine. :-)
[Sun Dec 16 01:19:09 2007] : (36)
Morti: (whispering): if the writing
isn't in common, I'll use comprehend language to read it.
[Sun Dec 16 01:19:39 2007] : (36) Morti: (whispering): ok, 4 spellcraft rolls for their school and strenght

[Sun Dec 16 01:20:13 2007] : ** (39) Thom notes all
the interesting items they come across, and gathers up a few items as he finds
them. With a glance at Morti, he explains - "To pay for our services in
cleaning the area." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:21:43 2007] : ** (36) Morti gives Thom a harsh glance, "Don't steal
from a shrine." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:22:54 2007] : (39)
Thom: "I'm not - I'm collecting from the
ground. And only a few items, the majority of it will be turned over. But those
scrolls that you keep wanting to buy have to be paid for somehow."
[Sun Dec 16 01:23:01 2007] : (36)
Morti: :points to the shrine, explaining:
"The writing says not to."
[Sun Dec 16 01:23:45 2007] : ** (39) Thom looks to try to read the writing on the wall,
so to speak. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:25:49 2007] : ** (36) Morti starts tossing the rusty items and coins back
down the well, while Thom reads. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:27:41 2007] : (39)
Thom: "So I see. At least they make it
kinda cheery I guess."
[Sun Dec 16 01:28:32 2007] : ** (39) Thom drops the gems back down into the well. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:28:44 2007] : ** (36) Morti is literally enough to throw everything into
the well over his shoulder, value and magical potential ignored. **

[Sun Dec 16 01:29:33 2007] : (34) TaliesinNYC: (whispering): roll d100
[Sun Dec 16 01:29:46 2007] : (36) Morti: :then,
drawing on of his own few crowns from his pocket, he tosses it over his
shoulder to join the rest, as his own offering, before turning to the shrine to
offers his final prayer before they depart. "See, don't you feel better
now Thom?"

I've had to do in a while for the sake of staying in character

gift given freely deserves its own reward. State your heart's desire and it
shall be done."

carved ruby figurine. He holds it over the well mouth and turns his face away
as he drops it back into the depths. "Not really, but Idon't feel worse
either." **

to thom, did you say something?"

desire."

everything back freely. Sounds like a true wishing well."

and shrugs, offering his prayer, with the usual bits, for their safe travel,
and hopes to be smarter to further himself as a mage.:

items I think... :-)

something.

just joking with him, offers semi-seriously: "I wish I was smarter."

his head. **

Guide him safely on his passage as we seek safe passage of our own. Thank the
goddess."

face, "So.. shall we go?" **
[Sun Dec 16 01:37:29 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Or, a wizard's idea of a joke.
Probably wouldn't be to hard to have it say some message every so often.

Thom: "Yes, let's."
[Sun Dec 16 01:38:44 2007] : ** (36) Morti shrugs, not entirely aware of what has just
transpired, but feeling a bit more.. compotent." **

[Sun Dec 16 01:39:21 2007] : ** (39) Thom regathers
his items and moves off from the shrine and well, a little extra something in
his step as he does so. **

[Sun Dec 16 01:41:51 2007] : ** (36) Morti tries to keep up with Thom, suddenly being
reminded how much shorter his legs are, as they head for the bridge.
"H-hey.. wait up." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:42:24 2007] : ** (39) Thom slows
a little. "You tired out from all that excitement?" **

so..."

Morti - a boat ride awaits
you."
[Sun Dec 16 01:44:17 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Hehehe.. should be fun."
[Sun Dec 16 01:46:48 2007] : (34)

a while.
[Sun Dec 16 01:47:06 2007] : (39)
Thom: "So Drenla," Thom asks as they
head out again, "What's the planned story for us?"
[Sun Dec 16 01:48:28 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "You're both my apprentices. Morti,
you're Marlinus. Thom, you're Barcus. Let me do all the talking and speak only
when you're spoken to."
[Sun Dec 16 01:48:43 2007] : ** (39) Thom looks down
at Morti, "You do know that we could have easily paid for this ride with just a couple of
those coins, not to mention what the gem could have gotten us." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:48:49 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Eh..?" :glances up at Thom's
question. apparently he had forgotten.:
[Sun Dec 16 01:49:02 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "And don't touch anything."
[Sun Dec 16 01:49:19 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "Once we're in the city that is."
[Sun Dec 16 01:49:49 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Works for me. I was thinking that
we might also have Mo..Marlinus under a punishment, where he was not allowed to
talk to anyone, for some small offense."
[Sun Dec 16 01:49:52 2007] : (36)
Morti: :to Thom: "It didn't belong to
us." :then to Drenla: "Understood.. Master."
[Sun Dec 16 01:50:17 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Eh..?" :quirks a brow at
Thom's suggestion:
[Sun Dec 16 01:50:51 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Just to help out Morti, you know
how your mouth gets when you are excited."
[Sun Dec 16 01:51:19 2007] : (36)
Morti: "But what if I slip up and
speak?"
[Sun Dec 16 01:51:23 2007] : ** (39) Thom smiles at Morti, showing that he means no hard
feelings. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:52:03 2007] : (39)
Thom: "What would the normal punishment be
for you when you were training in the arts? Imagine that will happen."
[Sun Dec 16 01:52:23 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "Well, you'll just have to refrain
from doing that."
[Sun Dec 16 01:53:25 2007] : ** (36) Morti stares blankly back at Thom. "I can't
think of anything." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:54:34 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Well then, just try your best. I'm
sure that we have a forgiving Master, but I would not wager on just how
forgiving others might be in the city."
[Sun Dec 16 01:55:37 2007] : ** (36) Morti nods firmly and turns toward the ship.
"By the way.. can you pay my fair, I'm almost broke." **
[Sun Dec 16 01:56:36 2007] : ** (39) Thom quickly slides some of the party currency that
he carries into Drenla's pocket. **
[Sun Dec 16 01:57:23 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): Just in case he
didn't have any. Wouldn't do for the apprentice to pay for things, now would
it. I'd say at least 10 gold, but it coud be more if needed.
[Sun Dec 16 01:58:26 2007] : (39)
Thom: "I'm sure our Master can cover the
expense, since he wishes us to travel with him to see the wonderous city of the
Aes Sedai."
[Sun Dec 16 01:58:47 2007] : (34)
DM: (I guess what I want to find out is if the
whole purpose is to get Sevis out, right? and for you to find a little bit of
info about Ringrist)
[Sun Dec 16 01:58:49 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Ah.. Thanks, Master."
[Sun Dec 16 01:58:57 2007] : (34) DM: (because
if so, we can take care of that offstage)
[Sun Dec 16 01:59:07 2007] : (36) Morti: (something
like that)
[Sun Dec 16 01:59:29 2007] : (34) DM: (if Drenla
is going to be doing all the talking for most of it, that makes for a little
limited experience)
[Sun Dec 16 01:59:42 2007] : (39) Thom: ((
main purpose - get Sevis free. Secondary purpose - info on Ringrist. Additional
secondary purpose - whatever Morti wanted to do in Nith'Tar Valon. ))
[Sun Dec 16 02:00:30 2007] : (39)
Thom: (( off stage works for me. And that way
we don't have to worry about Morti slipping up and landing us all in jail :-P
))
[Sun Dec 16 02:00:53 2007] : (34) DM: ((ok, so
why don't we do that))
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:02 2007] : (36) Morti: (Doubt
Morti can get the aid he was hoping for their... unless Drenla knows Magic
mouth, or something similar to send a message to the future ^_^))
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:08 2007] : (34) DM: ((and next
session will be focused on Daelan, Cael and Atross))
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:08 2007] : (39) Thom: ((

Jan?
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:35 2007] : (36) Morti: (okey)
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:42 2007] : (34) DM: ((and
we'll be alternating months per Zane's suggestion, so one month on Damrosil and
one month on Mel Nethra))
[Sun Dec 16 02:01:47 2007] : (34) DM: ((correct))

[Sun Dec 16 02:02:15 2007] : (38)
Cael: (( Sounds good to me. ))
[Sun Dec 16 02:02:39 2007] : (34) DM: ((well
what will happen is that Drenla gets Sevis released to him. we can have you
discover what info about Ringrist you want. I still need to think about what I
want to release.))
[Sun Dec 16 02:02:44 2007] : (39)

etc? Just wanting to make sure. ))

[Sun Dec 16 02:03:29 2007] : (39)
Thom: (( come on - release it all... Oh, and
since I missed out when the group split apart. Thom left Ringrist with Atross.
))
[Sun Dec 16 02:04:01 2007] : (38) Cael: ((
Sweet, gives me a bit more time to figure out Jaron's persona a bit and
probably flesh out his backstory, along with figuring out how to introduce him.

[Sun Dec 16 02:04:07 2007] : (36)
Morti: basically a letter to the future, for
his sister(presumably) there in the 30 years seeking to become an aes sedai.
[Sun Dec 16 02:05:39 2007] : (36)
Morti: (was thinking if I can't get any sisters
to help, perhaps I could figure another way to leave her a message. Just not
sure how yet. ^_^ If not, hopefully by the time we get back to the present,
Morti will know how to teleport long distance)
[Sun Dec 16 02:08:05 2007] : (34)
Captain: "So, where do you want to go?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:08:22 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "Three for passage to the City of the
Tower. How much?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:08:46 2007] : (34)
DM: The captain looks at you and sizes up Drenla
with a glint in his eye.
[Sun Dec 16 02:09:03 2007] : (34)
Captain: "Three golden marks per person."
[Sun Dec 16 02:09:17 2007] : (34)
Captain: "And with the new Amyrlin, that's my
price."
[Sun Dec 16 02:09:34 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "Highway robbery, but we'll pay
it."
[Sun Dec 16 02:09:41 2007] : ** (39) Thom keeps his
head bowed slightly, but casts glances around, as if he's all excited about
this trip. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:10:12 2007] : (34)
Captain: "You can always swim if'n you don't
like that price. I'm not going to go a place where I'll get strung up by my
neck for being a man."
[Sun Dec 16 02:10:47 2007] : ** (34) Drenla raises his eyebrows at that. "I think
we'll take our chances." **
[Sun Dec 16 02:11:40 2007] : (34)
DM: Drenla hands him the payment and he waves you
aboard, then turns to his men.
[Sun Dec 16 02:11:56 2007] : (34)
Captain: "Set course for the City docks."
[Sun Dec 16 02:11:57 2007] : (36)
Morti: :turns his head aside to murmur to Thom,
off topic, "Is it still highway robbery if it's on a boat?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:12:43 2007] : ** (39) Thom just glances at Morti, reminding the little
one to keep quiet. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:13:01 2007] : ** (36) Morti shuts his mouth and boards the boat. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:13:18 2007] : ** (39) Thom boards as well, following behind Drenla. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:14:18 2007] : (34)
Captain: "So you're not from here."
[Sun Dec 16 02:14:44 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "You've got a good ear. We're
travellers from the west, from Damrosil."
[Sun Dec 16 02:14:55 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): So much for off
stage, huh? :-)
[Sun Dec 16 02:15:12 2007] : (34)
Captain: "Oh? I haven't been home in many a
year. I'd have thought you were farther than that though."
[Sun Dec 16 02:15:43 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "I spent time in Tolmara. That's
probably where you've heard my accent from, but Pelham is my home."
[Sun Dec 16 02:16:03 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "They're my 'pprentices. Marlinius and
Barcus."
[Sun Dec 16 02:16:50 2007] : (34)
Captain: "Vaughn. A pleasure to meet
you."
[Sun Dec 16 02:16:57 2007] : ** (39) Thom nods in greeting to the Captain as he is
introduced. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:17:10 2007] : (34)
TaliesinNYC: (whispering): well you're not
in the city yet
[Sun Dec 16 02:17:21 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): lol - true.
[Sun Dec 16 02:17:24 2007] : ** (36) Morti offers a wave and grin, lips tightly sealed,
for the moment. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:17:44 2007] : (34)
Vaughn: "You're brave for going to the City.
Word has it that the Amyrlin has turned the City to an armed camp."
[Sun Dec 16 02:18:55 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Eh..?" :stops himself from
speaking more than a questioning grunt, at least.:
[Sun Dec 16 02:18:56 2007] : (39)
Zane (Mac): (whispering): Thom is just
giving Morti a test run here,
keeping him quiet. After all, it would be easy for information about us to be
passed into the city pon our arrival - regardless of feelings the Captain
claims about the new Amyrlin.
[Sun Dec 16 02:20:12 2007] : (34)
Vaughn: "Aye." (heedless of Morti's
response)
[Sun Dec 16 02:20:28 2007] : (34)
Vaughn: "She's looking for something but I dun
know what."
[Sun Dec 16 02:20:49 2007] : (34)
Vaughn: "Orders are none to enter or to
leave."
[Sun Dec 16 02:21:04 2007] : ** (34) Vaughn seems to leave it hanging as if hoping for
more. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:21:24 2007] : ** (34) Drenla smiles tightly. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:21:28 2007] : ** (36) Morti glances to THom and Drenla, some worry on his
mask. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:21:45 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "We'll pay you an extra nine marks on
top of your fee, Captain, to say nothing of our trip there."
[Sun Dec 16 02:22:06 2007] : (34)
Vaughn: "Oh? Well in that case, I never saw
you then."
[Sun Dec 16 02:22:12 2007] : ** (39) Thom remains impassive, as though he doesn't
understand what is happening. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:22:20 2007] : ** (34) Vaughn extends his hand expectantly. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:23:15 2007] : ** (34) Drenla takes out
a satchel out of his robe and counts out nine thick gold coins and lays it in
the captain's hand. "I knew I could count on you. Come you two, let's get
stowed away." **
[Sun Dec 16 02:23:55 2007] : ** (39) Thom nods and follows behind Drenla. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:24:20 2007] : ** (36) Morti follows obediently along after Drenla,
scratching at his scarf as he walks. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:25:13 2007] : (34)
Drenla: "I don't trust him any farther than I
can throw him so it's probably best if you two have a wary eye." (quietly)
[Sun Dec 16 02:26:05 2007] : ** (39) Thom smiles knowingly to Drenla and nods. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:26:47 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Oh...? you think he'll turn us in
or something?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:27:33 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Greed can do many things, and you
never know exactly what - until it happens."
[Sun Dec 16 02:27:47 2007] : (39)
Thom: (( said quietly. ))
[Sun Dec 16 02:28:13 2007] : (36)
Morti: "But.. we didn't do anything
yet."
[Sun Dec 16 02:30:02 2007] : (39)
Thom: "Doesn't matter. He acts like he
doesn't like the new Amyrlin, yet he still travels to her city for coin. For
more coin, he says he will say nothing of us. What if he is offered even more
coin later, by someone else? Men like him always have a price - and it's
usually not too high."
[Sun Dec 16 02:30:57 2007] : ** (39) Thom keeps an eye on their surroundings and any
others that might be paying attention to them while he explains things quietly
to Morti. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:31:34 2007] : (36)
Morti: "Okay.. but why are we payings
someone to say we aren't going to the city, if we are going to go talk with the
Aes Sedai anyway?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:32:00 2007] : ** (34) Drenla closes the door to your cabin. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:32:04 2007] : (39) Thom: "That
is part of our Master's plan."
[Sun Dec 16 02:32:23 2007] : (39) Thom: ((
ahh, wasn't sure if it was big enough boat to have cabins or not. ))
[Sun Dec 16 02:32:25 2007] : (34) Drenla: "The
less people know about our coming and going to Nith'Tar Valon, the
better."
[Sun Dec 16 02:32:30 2007] : (39) Thom: "I
hope."
[Sun Dec 16 02:33:01 2007] : (34) Drenla: "Unfortunately,
we already have a boat full of people who know about us. I'm trying to limit
knowledge."
[Sun Dec 16 02:33:12 2007] : ** (36) Morti scratches
out of himself out of confusion and habit, replying briefly.
"Laright." **
[Sun Dec 16 02:33:23 2007] : (34) Drenla: "Gossip
spreads like wildfire if you know what I mean."
[Sun Dec 16 02:33:27 2007] : (36) Morti: (Alright
even)
[Sun Dec 16 02:33:38 2007] : (39) Thom: "Makes
sense. We can't appear from nowhere, but the less talk there is,the
better."
[Sun Dec 16 02:35:12 2007] : (34) Drenla: "Now
then. I can probably make my way to the Tower in order to drop off a gift to
Noelle. What about you? Do you have any plans besides seeking out your
friends?" (gives you a wink as he says this)
[Sun Dec 16 02:35:48 2007] : ** (34) Drenla points to
the door and mimes someone listening by way of explanation. **
[Sun Dec 16 02:35:55 2007] : (39) Thom: "Only
to see the sights of the wonderous city, Master."
[Sun Dec 16 02:36:29 2007] : (34) Drenla: "And
you, Marlinius?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:37:19 2007] : (36) Morti: "I
want to see the Thousand Steps.. and the Floating Tower.. and the Great
Library."
[Sun Dec 16 02:37:55 2007] : (36) Morti: "Do
you think they'll shut us out because of the problems in the city?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:38:03 2007] : (34) Drenla: "Well
then you'll have the chance to do all that."
[Sun Dec 16 02:38:10 2007] : (39) Thom: ((
and Morti doesn't even have to pretend to be excited about the sights. ))
[Sun Dec 16 02:38:58 2007] : (39) Thom: "When
have the Aes Sedai ever shut the doors to their great city? I thought you had
studied up Marlinius."
[Sun Dec 16 02:39:31 2007] : (36) Morti: "Well..
from what the Captain said.. about armed camps and such..."
[Sun Dec 16 02:39:33 2007] : ** (39) Thom casts Morti
a smile, hoping he will play along, **
[Sun Dec 16 02:40:03 2007] : (36) Morti: "Sounds
like we're going at a pretty bad time."
[Sun Dec 16 02:40:16 2007] : (39) Thom: "But
these are the Aes Sedai, surely they have things well under control."
[Sun Dec 16 02:41:46 2007] : (36) Morti: "If
you say so."
[Sun Dec 16 02:43:06 2007] : (39) Thom: "Isn't
it so Master? Don't you agree with me that things aren't as bad as some
say?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:47:59 2007] : (34) Drenla: "Perhaps."
[Sun Dec 16 02:48:25 2007] : (38) J.C.: (whispering): (GW): I'm here
[Sun Dec 16 02:48:34 2007] : (34) Drenla: "We'll
see, won't we? If I don't return after seeing Noelle, then you'll know."
[Sun Dec 16 02:48:47 2007] : (39) Thom: "Ok."
[Sun Dec 16 02:48:54 2007] : (36) Morti: "Huh?"
[Sun Dec 16 02:48:57 2007] : (34) DM: (anyway,
we'll stop here)
[Sun Dec 16 02:49:04 2007] : (34) DM: (he's
speaking in code)
[Sun Dec 16 02:49:10 2007] : (36) Morti: (ok)
[Sun Dec 16 02:49:15 2007] : (34) DM: (Noelle =
Sevis, etc.)
[Sun Dec 16 02:49:54 2007] : (39) Zane (Mac): Oh,
Thom loves this spy stuff - so he's good to go. ;-)
[Sun Dec 16 02:50:46 2007] : (38) J.C.: Heh
[Sun Dec 16 02:51:54 2007] : (36) Morti: right
then. I'm heading off to be, before I doze off in front of the computer. Gnita
ll
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:00 2007] : (39) Zane (Mac): g'night
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:02 2007] : (36) Morti: to
BED even
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:05 2007] : (34) DM: nite
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:21 2007] : (39) Zane (Mac): and
I'll see the rest of you next year.
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:35 2007] : Disconnecting from
server...
[Sun Dec 16 02:52:37 2007] : Game disconnected!
