Lellick...
(3740) TaliesinNYC: this player is interested
in the FR game
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I just need someone to sit
in on the interview because none of the regular players are online atm
(3742) Lellick: Not a problem
(3740) TaliesinNYC: This is Ash who's a player
in my Friday Andurin game
(3741) No Name: Hello. I'm Lance K.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: the interview is part of
the screening process
(3742) Lellick: Nice to meet you ^^;
(3722) Amreth (enter): 20:11
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so tell us a little bit
about yourself Lance
** (3722) Amreth tips hat. **
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and be detailed in your
answers
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (3722)
Amreth...
whispering to Amreth, how did you guess? lol
(3741) Lance K: Hmmm, well I started playing
RPG's when I was 9. Started with home made d6 rules based off my cousins
D&D experience.
(3741) Lance K: From then I on I was hooked, Im
26 now, so I've been playing for 17 years. I've played in a multitude of
settings and systems.
(3741) Lance K: Hmmm, I also do a lot of
reading, video/computer gaming, comics, the usual geek chic stuff.
(3741) Lance K: Also, I read that IC posting is
required, I have done a lot of IC posting for another game, I can supply
details and a link if necesary.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: that would be nice
(3741) Lance K: I've been looking around the
net for about two weeks for an IRC game. I used to do some IRC gaming back when
I was in high school, I found openRPG while doing some searching.
(3741) Lance K: Alright, the IC posts were for
a site that is about wrestling, as I'm a big fan. Basically, you create a
character and do IC promos, the strength of the promos determine win/losses and
storyline progression.
(3742) Lellick: Awesome, another IRC
veteran!
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so why my game and not some
other FR game like Lando's?
(3741) Lance K: Well, first off, I recieved a
PM from you, after my first post, I hadn't looked around the forums that much
yet.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: this is true
(3740) TaliesinNYC: but there ARE other FR
games on the forums
(3741) Lance K: I'm looking now, ah, well, one
of the big things was simply that I didn't look in his thread, as it had 90ish
replies.
(3741) Lance K: I'm looking for a game as
quickly as possible. When you contacted me, I replied.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: any particular reason why
the speed?
(3741) Lance K: Also, once I looked into the
Anduring site, I was impressed by the layout and obvious work that had been
done.
(3722) Amreth: It's a bit of pretty, to be
sure.
(3741) Lance K: I've not been in a serious game
for over a year now. I moved away from all my gaming friends, and can't find a
table top game locally.
(3741) Lance K: I joined a site called In The
Time of Hereos, A Call To Duty RPG, and have been disappointed by the lack of
effort.
(3741) Lance K: They claimed to train people,
so I went to a session, was told to come back next week, and no one showed up.
(3741) Lance K: I tried to watch to of their
scheduled games, the first was cancelled due to lack of players, the second due
to lack of GM.
(3741) Lance K: I also discriminat against some
posts in the forums, proper capitalization, sentence structure, and grammar is
a must for me, so if I see a post that is illegible then I skip past it. Same
goes for current players.
(3741) Lance K: http://forums.rajah.com/search.php?searchid=429695
(3741) Lance K: That's a link to my posts at
the wrestling RPG site, not every post is a IC promo, but a high percentage of
them are.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: requires registration
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I'll take a look at it later
(3741) Lance K: Hmm, that's odd.
(3741) Lance K: Sorry about that, I didn't
realize that.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so tell us what you look
for in a game, specifically FR and what you consider to be ideal (as a player
and as a DM)
(3741) Lance K: Well, honestly, I had given up
on FR as a good campaign setting. The reason being that I want something from a
game that most people don't. I don't want a magic intensive world, with chara
(3741) Lance K: With characters that have a
multitude of magic items at low levels, and leveling every session.
(3741) Lance K: I am currently working on a
game in which the PC's will maybe be level 10 after two years of playing every
other week.
(3741) Lance K: I'm looking for a slower paced
game, one that isn't about hack and slash. I like RP'ing. Changing who I am to
be something I'm not. Yes, kicking ass is fun, but there is more to it that
that.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: lol remind you of anything
familiar Ash? ^ ^
(3742) Lellick: Heh heh, yep :D
(3741) Lance K: Players, well, I'm hoping to
make friends with the other players, I hope that we share the same itnerests,
and that everyone is more mature about the game.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: well I don't know what to
say. FR is somewhat more magic intensive than most regular game settings
(3740) TaliesinNYC: in fact, FR is about 4
steps above Andurin
(3741) Lance K: Oh, and I don't like character
builds specifically to get to Prestige Classes as soon as possible.
(3741) Lance K: In any game I run, I plan on
putting level restrictions in the low to mid teens before prestiging.
(3741) Lance K: I like a character to develop
first, then choose the appropriate route for their stat development.
(3741) Lance K: I'm not a fan of 'I have to put
my skill ranks here, and take these feats to get this class at 6th level.'
(3741) Lance K: FR is just a setting though,
it's up to the GM to manage magic levels as he sees fit. If this is counter to
how you run the game, then it might not suit me, but then again, if there is
slower progression overall, then I think it balances itself out somewhat.
(3749) Meldethar (enter): 20:33
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I'm going to be honest
here, progression will be quite slow BUT it will be true to FR in spirit
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so the level of magic will
remain constant which is to say that it isn't a low magic world
(3741) Lance K: Hmmm, what I mean by less magic
intensive, is that I'm not a fan of a party of level 2's each having magic
weapons +2, magic armor, wands, and potions to cover all circumstances.
(3749) Meldethar:
Off to see the wizard...
(3749) Meldethar (exit): 20:35
(3740) TaliesinNYC: to me, an FR campaign is
not a low magic setting
(3740) TaliesinNYC: ok
(3741) Lance K: Well, it's looking like I might
not fit this campaign after all. Just as a side note, what is the Andurin
campaign like, I know you might not have openings for it, but I was wondering
how you run it?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I think you misunderstand
(3751) Ruric (enter): 20:37
(3751) Ruric (exit): 20:37
(3740) TaliesinNYC: a party of level 2s will
not have +2 weapons and armor, wands, potions etc.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: but at the same time I'm
not going to run FR as a low magic setting
(3740) TaliesinNYC: that's not FR to me
(3740) TaliesinNYC: what is Andurin like? I'll
let Lellick and Amreth describe it to you
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Andurin is two games, one
on Friday and one on Saturday
(3740) TaliesinNYC: its way way more involved
than FR
(3741) Lance K: Alright, I think our
definitions of low magic were a tad bit off, I'm just tired of games where the
collection of magic items is more key than RP'ing.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and its a steeper learning
curve
(3742) Lellick: Yeah.. I'm not in the FR
game, but I can pretty much assure you that no one's going to end up with items
beyond their means XD He doesn't DM like that
(3741) Lance K: Is there a file sharing
function for this program?
(3722) Amreth: Believe me. We focus very
much so on roleplay.
(3722) Amreth: There's node sharing, in the
game tree. But that's it.
(3741) Lance K: I keep WordPerfect.docs of all
my writings and I may be able to share some of them.
(3742) Lellick: I really think you'll enjoy
RPing in these games. What you described is almost exactly how the games are
ran
(3722) Amreth: Hmm, heh. I've got a few docs
tucked away here and there, too.
(3742) Lellick: I'm really bad at explaning
things in general, but if you have any specific questions..
(3741) Lance K: I was just wondering about the
magic levels, and things of that nature. Nothing really in mind, just the key
differences between it, and other home brewed settings.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: you can best judge that for
yourself by reading the files on the site
(3740) TaliesinNYC: again, Amreth and Lellick
have a lot of experience with the game, so I'll bow out for now
(3740) TaliesinNYC: the Andurin games that is,
Amreth is in my FR campaign as well
(3741) Lance K: For some reason FireFox is
reporting that andurin.com has no information, and won't load it.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: it's http://andurin.digitalxero.net
(3740) TaliesinNYC: not .com
(3741) Lance K: Ah, maybe that was it. Well,
google brings it up as andurin.com.
(3742) Lellick: Well.. there's a difference
between a setting where magic's readily available and where it isn't, and games
where people get a lot of lewt. I can understand why you're wary.. it sounds
like you've been burned by bad games before
(3722) Amreth: Actually, www.andurin.com
works, too. :)
(3741) Lance K: Sure, [email protected]
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Andurin
(3722) Amreth: Gotcha. The currupshun of
Jeri inbound..
(3742) Lellick: The games in the Andurin
setting are more low-magic.. in that its people are really wary of magic in
general and as such there's not enchanted items lying all over the place ;)
(3741) Lance K: Ah, wary of magic, the last
game I ran was like that, the sorcerer was ran out of town for using magic in
defense of said town.
(3741) Lance K: Also I included xenophobia, the
town was mostly human and thought the cause of their problems was an elf that
was travelling through, the PC's had to stop a lynching.
(3756) Chase (enter): 20:48
(3742) Lellick: Sounds really interesting ^^
(3756) Chase (exit): 20:49
(3740) TaliesinNYC: the Friday Andurin camp
actually does have an opening for one player but I haven't been focusing on
that because its quite difficult to get players for the game as most players
would rather not do the reading (which is required)
(3741) Lance K: I was trying to stay away from
typical stuff. I was also doing a different XP granting system. In that I gave
them XP based on what I wanted to give them, so that I knew when they would
gain levels, which was going to be every 3-5 games, which playing every other week
was going to be a level every 2ish months.
(3741) Lance K: RP'ing in reading go hand and
hand in my eyes.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: are you sure? lol. its
about 2 weeks of reading, both the files and the logs. the logs are about 2000
pages or thereabouts
(3740) TaliesinNYC: there is no reading
requirement for the FR game (mostly because the game hasn't been going on for
very long)
(3741) Lance K: Wow, that is bit much.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: well the Friday game has
been running for over 2 years
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and the game setting has a
lot of material
(3741) Lance K: Here's a question, as a new
character, why is reading *all* the previous game logs necessary?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: because the logs develop
the world beyond the rules files
(3741) Lance K: It seems that is a bunch of
info the character wouldn't have.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: there is a shit load of
information in the logs that isn't in the files
(3740) TaliesinNYC: you're not asked to
memorize it
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and the key is that there's
nothing in the logs that you will find beneficial to you IC if you read them
(3741) Lance K: Ah, so the information from the
games aren't gathered up every once and a while and added to the core files.
(3741) Lance K: The Tolmara logs starte at
number six?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I can tell you that if you
choose not to read the logs (though those are not required), you'll find that
you know very little about the world
(3740) TaliesinNYC: yes

Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (3763)
Gautam...
(3763) Gautam: Howdy.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Lance wants in on either
the FR game or the Tolmara camp
(3740) TaliesinNYC: G is in the Tolmara camp
(3763) Gautam: So who are we interrogating?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Lance
(3763) Gautam: Er, interviewing.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: heh
(3763) Gautam: I meant interviewing.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: he wants to know what makes
Andurin special and why the reading is necessary
** (3763) Gautam whistles nonchalantly. **
(3741) Lance K: Well, here's what I'm thining,
if you decide that I can do the FR game, I could start there, and begin reading
the Andurin logs, that gives me time, while giving me some place to play. In
the long run, it seems like the Andurin game would be more my style, especially
knowing that it's run so long..
(3741) Lance K: That's not quite how it was
really, I wondered why the play logs where necessary reading, I thought that
the world info in them may have been put into a core group of files.
(3763) Gautam: For me, it's that you are
dealing with a homebrew setting, so you reading the material is a must to have
an idea of what's going on and why.
(3741) Lance K: I agree. The more information
the better, what I didn't know was that so much world setting information was
only to be located in the game session logs.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I didn't say that
(3763) Gautam: The logs are necessary for you
to get a better idea of how we play and what themes are running through the
campaign.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: both the rules files and
the logs contain information
(3722) Amreth: I had almost the exact same
objections. My primary concern was getting to know the other characters before
getting into the group.
(3741) Lance K: But the logs contain a lot of
information about the setting that is an almost necissity?
(3741) Lance K: *necessity
(3742) Lellick: Yes, I'd say so
(3740) TaliesinNYC: you can separate IC from
OOC, right?
(3763) Gautam: ((OOC))
(3763) Gautam: IC
(3741) Lance K: Yes, I can distinguish between
IC and OOC.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so you should have no
difficulty with the logs then
(3741) Lance K: I'm already viewing them.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and just to give you an
idea of why its important to read them
(3740) TaliesinNYC: the Fri PCs spent about 9
months real time in an Arabian type setting
(3740) TaliesinNYC: within Andurin
(3740) TaliesinNYC: that information is not
found in the rules files
(3740) TaliesinNYC: because I didn't write up
that section at the time the rules files were created
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and believe me, it's A LOT
of information even for me to process
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I would say from Tol29 to
the current one which is I believe Tol88 (the last few haven't been uploaded to
the site), that's over 50 logs of material about the world that's additional
stuff
(3740) TaliesinNYC: maybe 10 months, I can't
remember
(3763) Gautam: Definitely the better part of
the year.
(3763) Gautam: Went from like level 4 to 9 in
that time I think.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: so in those 50 logs, you
have information about the government of Zayal, the various races, the
religion(s), the political and socio-economic conflicts, the history and other
things besides the IC material
(3741) Lance K: Well, I am most interested in
Andurin, but am also interested in getting into a game currently. Since getting
a player into the setting is hard, due to the reading involved, if I read the
logs, while playing the FR game, I think we could work something out. As it
would be easier to replace me in the FR game if I read everything, and was
allowe dto move to the Fri. game.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: that's why reading the logs
is important
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I do more work developing
the world in game than outside of the game
(3740) TaliesinNYC: if you want
(3740) TaliesinNYC: tell us what you like to
play (PC wise) and why
(3763) Gautam: And after that we'll give you
some Roarshach tests. ;)
(3741) Lance K: I'm usually the muscle of a
group. I like playing them in different ways than most people percieve the
typical archetype.
(3741) Lance K: I like using the various rules,
such as Disarm, Trip, etc. to change the pace of a combat.
(3741) Lance K: I also like to be the guy in
front, the one who stands between his friends and danger.
(3763) Gautam: brb. Gotta grab some eats.
(3722) Amreth: Could definitely use some
muscle in the FR group... Currently, Am's just about it as far as frontliners
are concerned.
(3741) Lance K: Although I do also enjoy the
stealthy Rogue character. But once again, I try to be a tad bit different. He's
usually not a selfish rogue, he's doing it for a more giving reason, trrying to
prove to himself or others that he has a place in the world.
(3764) Donovan (enter): 21:12
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (3764)
Donovan...
(3740) TaliesinNYC: last few questions
(3740) TaliesinNYC: what is your preferred
scenario (city, dungeon or wilderness, combat heavy, puzzle heavy, intrigue)
and why?
(3741) Lance K: Wow, that's a difficult one. As
I really enjoy City/Dungeon/and Wilderness settings. I would say that I like it
to be a bit of all, if possible. Keeping to one setting over the course of a
year or two would become stagnant. If I had to say just one though, I would go
with wilderness, with smaller cities involved.
(3741) Lance K: As far as
combat/puzzle/intrigue goes, once again, I feel a combo is necessary, but I
would rate them in order of puzzle, then intrigue, then combat.
(3741) Lance K: I never played the Zelda games
because I liked whacking the baddies, it was fun for it's puzzles, and it's
storyline which dealt with intrigue, but also included comabt.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and do you have any
questions for us?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: or more specifically, the
players?
(3741) Lance K: For the FR players?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: for either
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I run 3 games and everyone
here is a player in either the FR game, the Fri or Sat games
** (3722) Amreth slips off to his wardrobe. **
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits returns a lizardman. **
(3741) Lance K: Well, if there are FR players
here, I would ask them if they've been enjoying the game, and where do they see
the group going, as a whole.
(3741) Lance K: I would ask you how you work
the creation of the group, what do you do to bring them together?
(3764) Donovan: I have been enjoying it, it
looks like we're going to be doing some dungeon exploring and political
intrigue.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Yes, I have. As
for what brings Amreth into the group, well.. He's got a contract with the
noblewench. There's more to it than that, but I'm gonna be tight lipped.
(3764) Donovan: And as for bringing the group
together, I don't know exactly how it managed =P
(3764) Donovan: As will I
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits rubs fingers together.
**
(3741) Lance K: I meant in a general way, as
I've been in groups that came together for IC in game RP reasons. And groups
that started out together, prior to the first game, for back story reasons.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Can't really say
where the group's going as a whole, yet. Seems we're about to have a base of
operations, and Amreth's kinf of got himself a hobogoblin lackey, who really
loves his foodin'. Hims not gud killin'.

accents, so it'll be straight English from me mostly, is that a problem?
(3776) Zane: Sorry about the time - I got busy
and completely lost track.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: np
(3740) TaliesinNYC: not a problem Lance
(3741) Lance K: Hmmm, 7 PM EST is what in GMT?
Or better yet, what time is it CST?
(3776) Zane: 6 PM
(3740) TaliesinNYC: FR is 7:30 pm to 12:30 am
EST or GMT -5
(3740) TaliesinNYC: 6:30 pm CST to 11:30 pm CST
(3740) TaliesinNYC: CST is GMT -6
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: CST, eh? Where
you at?
(3741) Lance K: I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
(3741) Lance K: Originally from Southwest
Missouri, one of seven RP'ers from the area.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Ah, pity. Guess a
night of drinkin' and trollin' for hookers is out of the question then. Bit too
far north.
(3741) Lance K: It is to far North, and it's
damn cold in the winter.
(3742) Lellick: Oh? Where're you at, WWS?
(3741) Lance K: Oh, and I'm entirely new to
OpenRPG, it's a great little function, but I wonder why IRC went out of style?
(3742) Lellick: I wish I knew.. It's like
everyone there just started disappearing, bit by bit
(3741) Lance K: I like it for it's ability to
have multiple windows, one for IC, and one for OOC.
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits is still partial to IRC,
just can't find a decent game. **
(3776) Zane: I use IRC for some resources, but
I've only played one game on it - and that was after I started playing here.
And OpenRPG was so much better of a platform.
(3776) Zane: Multiple windows is true, but
that's another use for group whispers.
(3742) Lellick: I dunno if the FR game uses
it, but DJ has made a new version of Open that has the ability to group-whisper
in windows.. it's practically like having seperate ones for IC and OOC
(3740) TaliesinNYC: yes, we use it
(3740) TaliesinNYC: or at least people who have
1.7.0 do
(3741) Lance K: Speaking of, I've yet to find a
dl spot for 1.7.0. anyone know where the link is on the site? And are there
other plug ins that I would find useful/necesary?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: in the links section
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Ah.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: http://openrpg.digitalxero.net/wiki
(3776) Zane: 1.7.0 comes with most of the useful
plugins. I also use the HTML code one, so all links typed appear to me, with
HTMl coding so they are usable. But other than that, I use the ones that DJ has
integrated into Open.
(3741) Lance K: Alright, well, I have the dl's
now, I can install it after we are done here.
(3741) Lance K: Ah, wait a quick question,
first level character creation? I know the game has only been going on for a
bit, so I don't know what level the group is at.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: 1st
(3740) TaliesinNYC: started in April 2006, took
a 1 month break in June because of real life, resumed in mid July
(3740) TaliesinNYC: they're still 1st level
(3740) TaliesinNYC: character creation
guidelines are on the site
(3741) Lance K: And what is the party consist
of so far?
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Send you a node
for rolling your character up, if that's on the agenda. Just double click to
open, and hit the send button.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Two druids, a
not-quite-evil necromancer, a bard, a sorceress, and a rogue/fighter.
(3776) Zane: Here we go... Human rogue/fighter,
halfling druid, halfling bard, human sorcerer, gnome druid, and uhh... what's
Lunuac?
(3776) Zane: Oh yeah - the necromancer. Duh.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: human necromancer
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: As you can see,
we're quite light on melee capability. Another strong arm would be welcome.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Am's pushing his
luck as it is.
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Lots of death in
his wake thus far, and unscathed. That won't last long, though, I'm sure.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: for Fri, it is halfling
cleric, human algai'd'siswai/wilder/cleric, half-elven rogue, Khajiit sorcerer,
human barbarian/fighter. can't remember what Rin is
(3741) Lance K: As far as you talking about
nodes, and what not, that totally went over my head.
(3742) Lellick: Rin's a... *snaps fingers*
human duskblade?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I think, yes
(3722) Walks-With-Spirits: Check the game
tree there. Should be a dealy in there called "Dice Roller"
(3741) Lance K: I saw that there wer some WoT
references in there.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: there is
(3740) TaliesinNYC: quite a bit actually
(3741) Lance K: I'm a big Jordan fan, I've rad
the series, through book 11, I thnk about 7-8 times.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: we've adapted material from
WoT and put a new spin on it
(3741) Lance K: For the Stats, the thity point
buy, is it one for one, or does the price of increasing stats get higher as the
stat increases?
(3740) TaliesinNYC: as per the book
(3741) Lance K: Alright.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: FR game is mostly 3.5
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Andurin games have their
own house rules
(3740) TaliesinNYC: ok, if you have no other
questions, that wraps the interview up. we ask that you lurk for at least 1
session for each game (FR and Tolmara). For the Tolmara camp, 2 is preferred
(3788) Howy (enter): 21:53
(3788) Howy (exit): 21:54
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and going to start
tonight's game shortly. Matt isn't online yet
(3741) Lance K: I'm available to watch the next
Wed session.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: and Fri?
(3741) Lance K: In the long run, I can lurk
them all, I babysit my flat mates kids on Fridays and am available.
(3740) TaliesinNYC: ok

(3740) TaliesinNYC: speak of the devil lol
(3776) Zane: Yay - you made it.

(3740) DM: (anyone need a recap?)
(3791) Lunauc: (nope)
(3776) Zane: (( uh, we've spent one night
already - and how far into the next day are we? ))
(3740) DM: ((morning))
(3740) DM: ((you're still in Euriale's tower))
(3741) Lance K (exit): 22:03
** (3791) Lunauc once more loafs about, sleeping in
and avoiding his usual morning practices, as he seeks out a large breakfast on
their host's expense. **
(3791) Lunauc: (oops)
** (3791) Garret once more loafs about, sleeping in
and avoiding his usual morning practices, as he seeks out a large breakfast on
their host's expense. **
** (3776) Helisandra rises and checks on Calehan.
Seeing that he is still working his magic, she wanders back into the main room
to leave him to work (since we said it took Calehan more than one night to ID
it all). She notices Euriale, and approaches her somewhat. Helisandra remains a
decent distance away, making sure that Euriale appears to be not busy. **
** Euriale d'Elinhir seems to be conversing someone
within a crystal sphere. The image is hazy as if you can't quite make the
appearance out. **
(3740) DM: She doesn't notice your approach, so
deeply engrossed in the conversation is she.
** (3776) Helisandra keeps some distance, not wanting
to interrupt any spellcasting or conversation. But unable to help herself, she
does silently move forward some, in an attempt to catch snipets of the
conversation. **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "The lich
escaped to another location."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "That IS
disturbing. Do you think I should ask them?"
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "But what if we
don't contain it?"
** (3776) Helisandra moves a little closer, trying to
get more than just half the conversation. **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "I think you
should determine if there is a connection between Acererak and Bzallin. The
magicka used by Bzallin seems to be too closely connected to be a
coincidence."
(3763) Gautam:
Disconnecting from server...
(3763) Gautam (exit): 22:15
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits lumbers nearly into the
room shortly after Helisandra, overhearing mention of Acererak, and takes a
step back the way he'd come, stopping there to listen, just outside the room.
**
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "If you think
that's the wisest course of action then." (seems resigned)
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "True, they'll
have their hands full in Orend. The Overlord will be drawn to them like flies
to honey. But they can take care of themselves, I'm sure."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "That's pure
speculation. We don't know there's a link between the Overlord and this emerald
drake any more than the next person. But it does make sense considering how
little sorcery is practiced within the city and how close the drake's lair is
rumored to be to its location."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Very well then.
Until the dawn, love."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "You can come in
now." (without looking up as she concentrates on the sphere, causing it to
lower to a marble pedestal by sheer will)
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits takes a further step
back, cocking his head to one side to fix an eye on Euriale. **
** (3776) Helisandra steps out of the shadows within
the room. "I was wondering if it really took that much concentration. Know
that I did not intend to interrupt you, but after catyching a little - I could
not leave either." **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: A shadow elf's ears
are sharper than her eyes. (rises as the sphere comes to a rest and darkens)
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits quickly takes a glance back
the way he'd come, briefly considering returning to the quarterss he'd been
provided, then snaps his head back to see Helisandra, and takes a few steps
forward into the room. **
** Euriale d'Elinhir turns around to face you.
"So, you overheard my conversation. It's not important...yet." **
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, I should have
realized. Well - at least now I know. Actually, I only overheard a small part
of it, and only your half - so I doubt that truely quallifies as a
conversation." Helisandra gives her a slight smile, trying to make light
of the situation slightly.
** Euriale d'Elinhir shrugs. "It might be that
the Emperor will have need of your services at a future point, but there's
nothing we can prove for the nonce. You've done more than your share for the
Empire and for that, he and I thank you." **
** Euriale d'Elinhir gestures to a pair of soft
down-filled chairs. "Sit and be at ease. Have you eaten yet?" **
(3776) Helisandra: "I see. Many thoughts
and ideas abound, but nothing with proof - thus the desire to not spread the
rumors further." Helisandra sits down at Euriale's request. "Thank
you, and no I haven't, not yet. I had a couple interesting encounters last
night that I wished to ask you about, since they deal with this empire, and
this city in particular."
** (3776) Helisandra glancves back over her shoulder
to see if Walks is going to remain at the door, or enter the room. **
** Euriale d'Elinhir snaps her fingers and a pair of
trays appear on a nearby table. One is loaded with broiled sausage, bread,
fruit, steamed eggs, cheese and other foods, whilst another has jugs and
pitchers of various liquids, along with mugs, cutlery and plates. **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Serve
yourselves." (takes a plate and heaps it with food)
** (3722) Walks-With-Spirits averts his gaze briefly
as Helisandra looks to him, looking back only for a moment before taking a few
steps back to stand just outside the room again. **
** (3776) Helisandra gathers some food on a plate,
food that seems best for nibbling on - bread, cheese, fruit. **
(3776) Helisandra: "Walks-with-Spirits,
there may be just us two females in this room - but that is nothing to fear, I
assure you." Helisandra flashes him a charming smile. "Enter if you
wish, eat. Her invitation was for us both."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "I think you
should know exactly what you're about to get into." (eats) "Where you
will be going, you'll definitely be the center of attention. And it won't be
welcome attention."
** (3776) Helisandra shrugs and turns away from
Walks, concentrating again on Euriale as she begins to speak. **
** (3776) Helisandra nods in understanding about the
attention as she nibbles on her food. **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "You're going to
the other end of the Empire, to a land where magicka and those who use it are
not exactly looked upon fondly. Those who do use it are seen as tools to be
used against one's enemies."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "The province of
Cyradia, where barbarians, assassins and rogues are commonplace." (levels
her gaze at you)
** (3776) Helisandra's eyes drop just slightly.
"Yes, I know they type you mean." **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "That's not all.
Orend is the capital of Cyradia and is located within a bowl-shaped depression,
deep within an area that's devoid of magicka."
** (3776) Helisandra raises her eyes back up, raising
an eyebrow even more. "Devoid? So our magickas would not work there, even
if we had to use them?" **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Priests are not
as affected as wizards and their ilk, so there is that." (butters a roll)
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Items of power
derived from the arcane and spells of an arcane nature may fail or cease to
function within the city."
(3776) Helisandra: "I can easily see why
the barbarians and assassins rule the city then."
(3776) Helisandra: "How far out from the
city walls is this magicka devoid area?"
** Euriale d'Elinhir spears a bite of sausage, not at
all the picture of daintiness that she normally projects. "At least four
or five miles in all directions. To the south lies the lair of Briocht, an
ancient emerald drake. To the east are several ancient ruins and tombs, one of
which is where the lich resides." **
** (3776) Helisandra stops mid bite of a piece of
fruit. "Wait, the lich's tomb is within this area? How is that possible?
Wouldn't the magicka failure mean his death?" **
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Outside of the
area. It is an interesting connection." (eats)
(3776) Helisandra: "That makes more sense.
If only there was some way to trick Acererak to follow us into the magickaless
zone." Helisandra smiles at the thought, as improbable as it is, as she
takes a big bite of fruit.
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Cyradia was
where the Jezulein first took shape as a cult. Half of those tombs and ruins
are former lairs."
(3776) Helisandra: "It makes sense that
Acererak would be there then, back where it all began. Now, I simply must ask
while we are discussing this. Who were you referring to as the Overlord?"
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: The ruler of Orend is
traditionally known as the Overlord. He or she rules the city and is ranked
above the patriarchs of the temples, the guildmasters and mistresses of the
guilds and the commanders of the Imperial Legion.
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: He is also the ruler
of the province and answers only to His Imperial Majesty.
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: It is a position I
would not want for the Overlord is continually a target of assassination and
intrigue.
(3776) Helisandra: "I see, and do you know
anything of the current Overlord?"
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: An Imperial named
Cendos Xarmendius. A recent edict of his is that any individual of high enough
social or material standing is automatically in his employ, as a means to keep that
person in check while within the bounds of the city.
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "If you enter
the city, you will need to be incognito."
(3776) Helisandra: "Interesting policy.
Yes, that would seem best. And although I was originally jesting that Ian would
be able to keep Tian company outside of town, I am getting the feeling that
only two of us should enter the city - if we need to at all. A pair of
travellers would be nothing, a large group would be obviously noticeable."
** Euriale d'Elinhir nods. "Precisely."
(thinks) "What are your plans once you go to Orend?" **
(3776) Helisandra: "Well, we do not have
any yet. After we arrived last night, we all needed some time apart after
crawling through that tomb - so we have no had a chance to discuss it as of
yet."
(3776) Helisandra: "But I am open to any
suggestions you have, that I will pass on when we do discuss it."
(3831) Red (enter): 23:24
(3831) Red (exit): 23:24
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Well...."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "His Imperial
Majesty might have need of your service at a future point. More than that, I
cannot say. There is a possible connection with Acererak that has recently come
to light but we need more proof."
(3776) Helisandra: "We do intend on
returning here once we finish with Acererak, so I would guess that means our
services would be available."
** Euriale d'Elinhir nods. "Well then, I wish
you luck by the grace of Almalexia. For all our sakes." **
(3776) Helisandra: "Thank you. One further
question if I may, I met an individual last night of a race I did not
recogonize. He stood about this tall (she raises her hand above her head, her
hand about a foot above her head), with blueish fur over his body, and well, he
had four arms."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "A Skandar. A
native of Arator, although they are also known to live in Tincoras. There is a
small colony here in Kha-Shugal. Skandar are noted for being traders and
wanderers so the presence of one in this city is not that unusual."
(3776) Helisandra: "I did not figure it was
unusual, as no one else seemed to take particular notice. Thank you for your
time m'lady." Helisandra stands from her seat and curtsies, then leaves
Euriale to herself - under the watchful gaze of Walks-With-Spirits.
** (3776) Helisandra heads back to the common room to
see what everyone else is doing. **
(3776) Helisandra: (( takin' a smoke ))
** (3791) Garret lounges about, eating, drinking and
reading a book **
(3825) Fetus (enter): 23:39
(3791) Garret: (hmmmm... FF?)
(3791) Garret: (Am I frozen?)
(3776) Helisandra: (( actually, I was going to
do some party RP - unless everyone wants to FF ))
(3791) Garret: (nah, rp away)
(3776) Helisandra: (( and either Walks wishes to
talk with Wuriale, or he was just wandering by - I'm not sure which. ))
** (3776) Helisandra enters the common room and moves
behind Garret, reading over his shoulder for a moment to see what he is
reading. **
(3791) Garret: :seems to be some sort of epic war story:
(3854) Lurker (enter): 23:49
** (3776) Helisandra frowns slightly, bored after
reading just a couple lines. She starts talking aloud, as if she was reading it
- but she changes just about every word, turning it into an espionage story. **
(3854) Lurker (exit): 23:49
(3825) Fetus (exit): 23:50
(3740) DM: ((so what's going on?))
** (3791) Garret continues his reading, nonplussed,
and seems to listen along to Heli's altered tale as well. It's a peacable
enough scene, until he randomly offers in criticism, "You just said the
hero was a souble agent, at least stay somewhat consistant." **
(3776) Helisandra: (( I was planning on just
general RP stuff during the down time, but nothing too specific, yet. Got some
plans for the evening - but nothing specific until then. ))
(3791) Garret: (double agent even)
(3776) Helisandra: "Well, that what happens
when I try to alter a story on the spot. You busy?"
(3791) Garret: "You can't tell...?" :asks dryly as he stuffs
another bit of bread in his mouth and keeps reading.:
** (3776) Helisandra grins at him. "Well, I just
finished an interesting conversation with our hostess - if you are
interested." She sits down next to him, no longer reading - or
storytelling. **
(3791) Garret: "Oh?" :offers carelessly as he reads. Anyone he
didn't know him so long wouldn't know that meant he was listening.:
(3776) Helisandra: "Yeah, it turns out that
Orend itself is located in some sort of magicka devoid area, although
Acererak's tomb lies just outside said area. Could definately make things
interesting." She offers nonchelantly, following his mannerisms as she
inspects her nails.
** (3764) Calehan sets down the quill at last and
wanders into the common room to check on everyone and have a bit of lunch now
that he's finished writing notes on what they brought back from Acererak's
vault. **
(3791) Garret: :gives and uncommited nod: "Yah... could be
troublesome for some of our comrades. Though,, if we could use that field to
our advantage.. well.. what is a lich without his magicks?"
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, but somehow I doubt
that we could trick him into the void area, although that would be a very fun
way to deal with him." She raises her head as Calehan enters and gives him
a wave.
(3791) Garret: :nods to Calehan:
(3776) Helisandra: "Euriale also asked me
what our plan was once we get to Orend - and I realized that we might want to
start thinking about that."
** (3764) Calehan waves to the others while he finds
his meal. **
(3860) Lunauc (enter): 00:06
(3776) Helisandra: ((repeating for Lunuac))
"Euriale also asked me what our plan was once we get to Orend - and I
realized that we might want to start thinking about that."
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (3860)
Lunauc...
(3740) TaliesinNYC: Booting '(3791) Lunauc' from
room...
(3791) Lunauc (exit): 00:10
(3860) Garret: "Hmm... last I can recall, we were debating between
the orb and the lich, no?"
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, and that seems as
good of a starting point as any. Based on a couple comments that have been made
- I think that the lich should be our first consideration."
(3860) Garret: :nods: "True. We don't need him popping up and
impeding us in the future."
(3776) Helisandra: "Exactly. And there may
be more connections with him that might couse more problems."
(3860) Garret: "Fine then, we'll head straight for the tomb."
(3776) Helisandra: "I think that would be
best, yes. And I think it would be beneficial to not have to actually enter
Orend, if we can avoid it. Although with what information we have, I'm not sure
that's possible." ((Since we don't know IC that we have a map showing the
location of the tomb, yet.))
(3764) Calehan: "What information are we
lacking? Acererak apparently had a failing memory because he left a lot of
clues."
(3860) Garret: :shrugs: "If we must, some of us who don't depend on
magicks can enter the city to do what we must."
** (3764) Calehan takes a bite before elaborating. **
(3860) Garret: :glances to Cale.:
(3776) Helisandra: "Well, we don't have a
map like we did to get to the last tomb. So either enter the city to get
information - or we use the sword to find our way."
(3863) Lynna (enter): 00:19
(3863) Lynna (exit): 00:19
(3764) Calehan: "Actually, we do have a
map, now."
** (3776) Helisandra looks up excitedly, 'We
do?" **
** (3764) Calehan reaches into a pouch on his belt
and withdraws one of the scroll cases taken from the vault. "Just what I
was looking for." **
(3764) Calehan: "It's right here, I can't
vouch for its authenticity but he left his riddle on the back as well."
(3776) Helisandra: "Well, that sounds like
Acererak. Confident to the end. 'Here is where I am and how to get to me. Come
on by sometime.' Unfortunately, it seems he has reason to be so
confident."
(3764) Calehan: "Maybe he expected to have
allies, but he certainly doesn't write that way. it remains to be seen exactly
where we'll be arriving in Orend though."
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "And you,
Argonian. Welcome to my home."
(3776) Helisandra: "I am sure well outside
the city, since magicka doesn't work within four or five miles of the city
itself. Hmm, now that we have a map, maybe we can talk to Euriale and have
ourselves be transported closer to the tomb."
whispering to Walks-With-Spirits, so dunno what
you wanted to do with Euriale
(3740) DM: ((so do we FF?))
(3776) Helisandra: (( well - I guess Walks
doesn't want to talk. And no one else said anything to Heli's idea... sure. ))
(3776) Helisandra: (( anyone else even still
here besides myself and the DM? ))
(3740) Euriale d'Elinhir: "Whenever you
are ready to leave, let me know. The spell can only be cast at night, as you
will be transported by the power of the moons of Andurin. Since I cannot
teleport you directly into the city, you will appear at a random location
outside of the dead magicka zone."
(3764) Calehan: "There are some things he
had stored that I don't think we have any immediate use for, actually."
(3740) DM: ((that happens later, in case some
of you are thinking))
(3776) Helisandra: "Very well. Too bad we
can't get to a specific spot, but this will still save us lots of time. Thank
you for your hospitality, how soon can we leave? This evening, tomorrow?"
(3776) Helisandra: ((previously, to Calehan))
"Did you happen to make a list? Perfect, may I see it?" Helisandra
views the list and works with the others to split the treausre up. ((So that we
can get back to one time period)).
(3776) Helisandra: (( the first was was to
Euriale, in case you couldn't tell. ))
(3860) Garret: (hehe... dozed off in front of the computer... gomen)
** (3764) Calehan goes over the list pointing out the
items, "This sword; none of us use anything like it. You've been around
the town, is there someone who might buy it?" **
(3776) Helisandra: "Actually, I know of at
least one weapons dealer. If he's not - I am sure there are others in a city
this size."
(3764) Calehan: "If he's not, maybe he
knows someone who is."
(3776) Helisandra: "That too. In fact, the
one I know had a number of daggers that I thought you might be interested
in."
(3776) Helisandra: "None of them appeared
overly special, but they did seem good quality."
(3764) Calehan: "Acererak had an
interesting dagger, as well. I haven't seen anything quite like its
enchantment."
(3776) Helisandra: (( do we want to RP out the
division then? we can - I just wasn't planning on it. ))
(3764) Calehan: ((Maybe not the division, but
should have a talk about the dagger.))
(3776) Helisandra: (( k ))
(3776) Helisandra: "Really, what's so
special about it?"
(3764) Calehan: "As if it's a living, or
maybe unliving, thing it seems it would be able to draw sustenance from its
victims and grow in some way."
(3764) Calehan: "Though what will come of
it I can't tell."
(3776) Helisandra: "Grow? like it becomes a
short sword, then a longsword, and eventually a greatsword?"
(3764) Calehan: "It's not a material kind
of growth. The enchantment itself is what grows."
(3776) Helisandra: "Oh. But you have to
admit - that would be an interesting ability."
(3764) Calehan: "While I'm naturally wary
of something that feeds on battle, I'm also curious what potential it
has."
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, something about
that seems... unsettling. But I admit, I am a little curious as well."
(3764) Calehan: "So can we pay a visit to
that weapons dealer?"
(3764) Calehan: "A final thought, maybe.
There are as many reasons for conflict as there are people, and a weapon of its
power won't long go unused. I'd rather know it's being used for a good
cause."
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, let's do
that." She glances at the treasure as she stands, her eyes drawn to the
cobra ring. "You know, that ring is awfully pretty." She picks it up
and tries it on. "It's a nice fit too." She finally looks back up at
Calehan, "Well, even if we decide not to sell the large sword, you can
still take a look at his daggers."
** (3764) Calehan fetches the greatsword from where
he studied it and sets out with Helisandra to find what that weapons dealer has
to say. **
(3776) Helisandra: "Yes, we can always ask.
Do you have any preference Garret?"
(3860) Garret: "Yes...."
(3860) Garret: :looks up from his book, with a serious expression:
(3860) Garret: "Get sticky buns on the way back."
(3776) Helisandra: "And why in the world
would I sit in honey?"
(3860) Garret: "Some men find that attractive. Maybe even you could
find a husband." :jokes from behind his book.:
(3764) Calehan: "It's a.. Right, of
course. Enjoy your book."
** (3776) Helisandra strokes her chin, as if
considering something. "Nah, I don't think that's the type of guy I would
want anyway." **
(3860) Garret: "Can you really afford to be picky? You aren't
getting younger." :tries to get in the last word:
** (3776) Helisandra turns and prepares to leave with
Calehan, making sure one of them grabbed the greatsword. **
(3776) Helisandra: "Maybe not, but at least
_I_ am still pretty." she calls back over her shoulder at Garret as she
walks out the door.
(3860) Garret: :asks Calehan before he follows her out: "Don't let
her near my buns.... I don't know what she might do to them."
** (3764) Calehan laughs and shakes his head as he
leaves. "Of course, of course. We" **
(3764) Calehan: "We'll be well away from
your buns while we visit this weapons dealer."
(3860) Garret: :nods as they go, refocusing on his reading:
** (3776) Helisandra leads Calehan back to the Bazaar
of the Bizarre, and to Majaeras' booth. **
(3740) Majaeras: To have wondered if you were
coming by today. (upon seeing you)
(3776) Helisandra: "I said I would, and so
I have. My friend and I had a couple questions for you, about some
weapons."
(3740) DM: The Skandar weapons merchant looks
up from polishing a blade as you approach his stall.
(3740) Majaeras: "To be somewhat of an
expert regarding blades and blade styles throughout Imperial lands."
(3776) Helisandra: "That is good. Now, does
this expert buy rather unique blades, or just sell them?"
** Majaeras sheathes the blade he was previously
polishing and turns his attention to you, two furry arms at his side, another
pair holding his hips. **
(3740) Majaeras: "To be a trader and a
drifter, and to have seen much over the years."
(3740) Majaeras: "To buy and sell as whims
and the market dictate."
(3776) Helisandra: 'That is what we wanted to
hear. We have recently received a greatsword that we really have no use
for."
(3740) Majaeras: "To want to know if this
sword is present."
** (3764) Calehan brings forward the greatsword,
prenting it by the ebony pommel for inspection. **
(3764) Calehan: ((Presenting))
(3776) Helisandra: "Of course." She
steps to the side as Calehan presents it, and she watches the Skandar's
reaction very closely.
(3764) Calehan: "The enchantments about it
are as articulate and as potent as its craftsmanship warrants."
(3895) Edga (enter): 01:36
** Majaeras turns the blade over and over, his brow
creasing and furrowing. **
(3895) Edga (exit): 01:36
(3740) Majaeras: "To wonder where you have
gotten this."
(3776) Helisandra: "It was recently
liberated from an evil being's personal belongings."
(3764) Calehan: "It was north, wasn't it,
and fairly deep underground. Judging by some of the other things stored there
it may predate the Devastation."
** Majaeras drops the blade and rubs his hands
together as if trying to wipe them of touching the blade. "To have only
seen this once before, many years ago. To know this weapon as a bearer of a
lifedrain enchantment. To be an instrument of great power and great evil."
(looks at you, frightened) **
(3764) Calehan: "As was said, we have no
use for such a weapon. It is not something that can be left laying
around."
(3776) Helisandra: "Yeah, it seemed a
little unsettling. If it is truely that evil Calehan, it might be best that we
hold onto it, so that it doesn't get used."
(3776) Helisandra: "Even though we won't
use it, I'd hate to think of what would happen if we did sell it, and it got
passed on unintentionally into evil hands again."
(3900) Khazibuhl (enter): 01:44
(3900) Khazibuhl (exit): 01:44
(3764) Calehan: "If it's really evil, the
local temple may help dispose of it."
(3776) Helisandra: "Good idea. Well, let's
put it away for now, no need to keep it out."
** (3764) Calehan picks up and stows the sword,
"I didn't plan on waving it around." **
** Majaeras appears relieved. "To recommend that
you visit a temple to Odion or to Almalexia should you wish to dispose of
it." **
(3776) Helisandra: "I think Ian was going
to visit a temple of Odion, if I remember correctly. So he should be able to
point us in the right direction, and to the right people."
(3776) Helisandra: "Now, the other thing we
came for. I was hoping to show my friend your great supply of daggers."
(3764) Calehan: "Away with the
unpleasantness now; I was told you have a wide variety of styles of
daggers."
(3764) Calehan: "I'd like to see what kind
of throwing daggers you have, especially."
(3740) Majaeras: "To wish to know if you
want one for battle or for other uses."
** (3776) Helisandra takes the greatsword from
Calehan so that he can better browse, and she sticks to the back. **
(3740) Majaeras: "To have a wide range,
from a jambiya used in Zayal, to a longtooth that is more commonplace in the
lands of the Southern Kingdoms. To have a toothknife which is the style of the
Empire, and also to have bought a few fangtalons which are daggers in the style
of Cyradia."
(3764) Calehan: "It might prove useful,
since I'll be traveling there soon, to have something in the style common in
Orend. Something which emphasizes precision would be practical."
(3905) DeadEarth (enter): 01:58
** (3764) Calehan gets some advice from Heli and
clarifies, "The fangtalons, then." **
(3905) DeadEarth (exit): 01:59
(3740) Majaeras: "Very well, then. To wish
to know if you desire a masterwork or an enchanted fangtalon?"
(3764) Calehan: "I believe a pair of
masterwork daggers would suit my purpose well."
(3740) Majaeras: "One hundred septims
then, for two pair."
** (3764) Calehan retrieves the appropriate amount
from his belt pouches, "A fine exchange." **
** Majaeras nods. "To have done good business
with you." **
(3776) Helisandra: :to Majaeras: "Thank you
my friend. Good business to you, and thank you for your help."
(3764) Calehan: "We'd best get to that
temple now. Good business to you."
(3740) DM: ((going to stop here))
(3740) TaliesinNYC: not going to RP the
destruction of the sword or transport to Orend
(3860) Garret: ok..ok... I'm nodding off anyway
(3740) TaliesinNYC: next session, I'll assume
that Euriale sends you to Orend's outskirts and we'll pick up from there
(3740) TaliesinNYC: I'd like to hold off on
entering the tomb until DJ gets back
(3740) TaliesinNYC: figure 2-3 more Mel Nethra
sessions before we go back to Damrosil
