| You wave at Stardancer. |
| Stardancer greets you warmly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Hello there. |
| [Stardancer] says: Greetings and good day to you Ingarath |
| [Silanthos] says: Glad to see a few people 'round here again |
| Ingarath nods. |
| Stardancer greets Silanthos warmly. |
| [Stardancer] says: Ingarath, what have you been up to lately? |
| Stardancer regards him quietly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well...travelling, mostly. I spend a lot of time doing odd jobs for the goblins. |
| [Ingarath] says: I...try to stay away from the commotion of daily living. |
| [Ingarath] says: I find it interests me less and less. |
| [Stardancer] says: Have you become a recluse? |
| Trinn sits, with a wave at Ingarath. |
| Ingarath smiles at Trinn. |
| Silanthos waves at Strand. |
| [Ingarath] says: You might say that. |
| Stardancer greets Trinn warmly. |
| [Trinn] says: Evening all. |
| Strand hums softly as he arrives, something complex that needs a treble part atop it. |
| [Silanthos] says: Or a mercenary... |
| [Strand] says: Hallo, Trinn. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, yes, you might say that as well. |
| Stardancer greets Strand warmly. |
| Trinn looks up and smiles. "Hello, again." |
| Strand smiles easily. "Hallo, all." |
| You greet Strand warmly. |
| [Silanthos] says: Would anyone like a fire? |
| [Ingarath] says: We generally approve of such things. |
| You grin wickedly at Silanthos. |
| [Stardancer] says: A fire would be nice... |
| [Trinn] says: Please. |
| [Trinn] says: Ah, good. |
| Stardancer makes room. |
| [Silanthos] says: Surprisingly centered. |
| Strand drifts over, and gives a bit of ground an inquisitive glance. |
| Ingarath eyes Dugald. "Hello there." |
| [Trinn] says: I think the ground will accept you, Strand. |
| Trinn grins. |
| [Luana] says: Greetings, light bless.. |
| [Dugald] says: Hello |
| Strand grins. |
| Dugald greets everyone with a hearty hello! |
| Stardancer greets everyone warmly. |
| [Ingarath] says: And what have you been doing with yourself these days, Stardancer? |
| [Stardancer] says: Well, taking up a war against demons. |
| Luana speaks quietly to Dugald a moment. |
| Strand stretches out his feet towards the fire, leaning back for balance. |
| Stardancer glances around uncomfortably, in case there are warlocks. |
| [Ingarath] says: So...more of the usual? |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ah, hello Meris! |
| Trinn smiles up at Ashyne. |
| Ashyne purrs at Trinn. |
| [Ingarath] says: And Alerac. |
| [Alerac] says: Ello, Ing. |
| [Trinn] says: Hello, there. |
| Trinn puts her hand out to be sniffed. |
| [Ingarath] says: I've not seen you in a while, good to see you again. |
| [Meris] says: Allo, Ing... |
| [Silanthos] says: Well, come on down. Ground's comfy |
| Ashyne lies down. |
| Luana glances back at the Druid cat.."Hello there" |
| [Meris] says: How have things been, Ingarath? |
| Strand looks back over his shoulder, and grins at the cat. |
| [Ingarath] says: Good, now that I've separated myself nearly totally from normal civilization. |
| Ashyne laughs. |
| [Silanthos] says: Then why are you here? |
| Stardancer seems to frown at that. |
| [Meris] says: That helps, eh? |
| Silanthos winks slyly at you. |
| [Ingarath] says: This is not normal civilization. |
| [Ashyne] says: Good evening everyone |
| [Ingarath] says: This is....better. |
| [Ashyne] says: Trinn |
| [Meris] says: This.... what Ingarath said. |
| [Silanthos] says: Heh |
| [Luana] says: Evening |
| [Silanthos] says: I agree! |
| [Strand] says: Refuge? |
| [Trinn] says: Ashyne. Good to see you, cat or no. |
| Stardancer greets Ashyne warmly. |
| You laugh at Nim. |
| Trinn glances over at Nim and grins. |
| [Ingarath] says: Gnomes. |
| [Nim] says: Hi guys! |
| [Alerac] says: See? He's scared. |
| Silanthos waves at Nim. |
| [Dugald] says: Hello Nim |
| [Meris] says: Terrified, really. |
| Strand sits back up and waves to Nim. |
| [Silanthos] says: Who'se looking through my cat's eyes? |
| Stardancer glances at the fully helmeted gnome. |
| [Ingarath] says: It's a good thing he's got that helmet on...you never know when a giant hand will dump us all into the lake. |
| Meris leans over and waves at Zanzabar. |
| Sirithil leans over to Dugald. "Oh... you don't have to hunt down that murderer anymore, I guess." |
| [Nim] says: It might rain a lot. Gotta be prepared. |
| [Alerac] says: That, or it'll rain like, four inches. |
| Luana laughs. |
| [Alerac] says: And Nim, bein about that tall, he'd be fucked. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ah, Alerac. |
| [Ingarath] says: I did miss you, funnily enough. |
| [Nim] says: 'm gonna sit up here this time. |
| [Silanthos] says: Such a poetic tounge. |
| Zanzabar is in disguise. |
| Dugald waves at Cuprifex. |
| [Nim] says: View it a little differently! |
| Cuprifex nods at Dugald. |
| [Luana] says: Greetings all. |
| Winterglade kneels down. |
| Stardancer greets Winterglade warmly. |
| Winterglade waves at Stardancer. |
| You wave at Lomion. |
| You grin wickedly at Winterglade. |
| Stardancer greets Lomion warmly. |
| Winterglade greets Stardancer warmly. |
| Syrinne closes her eyes, lets out a deep sighs realxing her every muscle and goes into a silent meditation. |
| [Alerac] says: Meirs..? |
| [Silanthos] says: Again with the mindvision! |
| Winterglade greets Lomion warmly. |
| Lomion hugs Stardancer. |
| Stardancer smiles at Lomion. |
| Trinn looks over uneasily at the portal. |
| Stardancer greets Mlila warmly. |
| Mlila greets Stardancer warmly. |
| Stardancer curtsies before Mlila. |
| Mlila smiles at Stardancer. |
| [Meris] says: Evening, Nork. |
| [Alerac] says: Ello, Nork. |
| [Stardancer] says: Greetings, mistress of Keepers of the Wild. |
| [Norkdink] says: Hey hey |
| [Mlila] says: Greetings |
| [Stardancer] says: May we speak later? |
| Ingarath eyes Norkdink. "I thought...." |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| [Alerac] says: He got better, Ing. |
| Mlila nods at Stardancer. |
| [Meris] says: Zan... how has business been lately? |
| [Mlila] says: I would be happy to. |
| [Stardancer] says: Thank you kindly. |
| Sirithil glances over her shoulder and can't help but laugh at the comical sight of Nim wearing a dive helmet that's got to be at least as big as he is. |
| Sirithil laughs at Nim. |
| Nim waves at Sirithil. |
| [Stardancer] says: May I introduce myself, I am Stardancer... |
| Sirithil waves at Nim. |
| [Stardancer] says: This is Lomion, my betrothed. |
| Mlila curtsies before Stardancer. |
| [Zanzabar] says: Shhh, I'm in disguise, I made some of the people here pretty mad. |
| [Luana] says: Nice to meet you I am Luana.. |
| [Stardancer] says: And my sister, Winterglade. |
| Lomion bows before Mlila. |
| [Mlila] says: I am Mlila. |
| [Alerac] says: Who the fuck is Zan, Meris? That's obviously Frank. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| Meris nods at Zanzabar, griinning. |
| Mlila curtsies before Lomion. |
| [Luana] says: Ooops.. |
| [Stardancer] says: Well met. |
| Strand glances over towards Zanzabar. |
| [Meris] says: Right, Frank the elf. |
| Stardancer pokes Winterglade. Hey! |
| [Lomion] says: A pleasure to meet you |
| Mlila points at Todar. |
| Winterglade greets Mlila warmly. |
| [Mlila] says: And may I introduce Todar. |
| [Todar] says: o wow I am under dressed |
| Mlila greets Winterglade warmly. |
| Stardancer curtsies before Todar. |
| [Silanthos] says: Ho! An undead fellow atop the ridge |
| Silanthos waves at Thristus. |
| [Todar] says: greetings |
| Luana pats Dugald on the shoulder gently, as one would a friend. |
| [Zanzabar] says: Franky Frankford the Third |
| [Meris] says: Lots of formal introductions going on today. |
| [Stardancer] says: A pleasure to meet you. |
| [Norkdink] says: Kill him! |
| Cuprifex waves at Thristus. |
| You greet Felena warmly. |
| Todar smiles. |
| [Silanthos] says: Ah! None of that, Nork |
| [Winterglade] says: A plasure.. |
| Nim greets Felena with a hearty hello! |
| [Strand] says: Hallo, Dame Felena. |
| [Silanthos] says: A peaceful gathering this should be. |
| Sirithil glances up at Thristus, her hand going to her sword-hilt before she recognizes him as the same corpse from last week. |
| Felena smiles at Strand. |
| [Todar] says: there a private place to change? |
| [Norkdink] says: Bah |
| Alerac glances over at the ridge. |
| [Alerac] says: Bah. It's Thirstus. |
| [Alerac] says: Comin to bite me again, I'm sure. |
| [Silanthos] says: He's a fine fellow. |
| [Todar] says: excuse me a moment |
| Silanthos beckons Thristus over. |
| [Alerac] says: He keeps biting me! |
| Mlila smiles at Todar. |
| [Meris] says: Maybe he thinks you are tasty, Al |
| Stardancer nods. |
| [Silanthos] says: If he ment it you'd have parts missing |
| Luana smiles |
| [Norkdink] says: Maybe he hates you |
| [Alerac] says: It aint right@! |
| [Zanzabar] says: Good he left. |
| Luana laughs. |
| Meris watches Zanzabar curiously. |
| [Sirithil] says: Well, Alerac, at least you're not a chunky smoothie. |
| [Stardancer] says: Well, I shall take my seat... |
| Stardancer bows down graciously. |
| [Alerac] says: Eh? I don't get it. |
| Trinn stands and makes room. |
| Mlila smiles at Stardancer. |
| Strand shifts over a little, making room. |
| Stardancer makes room |
| Felena takes a seat between Strand and Trinn, giving a concerned smile. |
| Syrinne remains in silent meditation. Her magic fluxiating gently. |
| [Meris] says: Don't ask, Al. |
| [Winterglade] says: I am looking forward to the readings tonight.. |
| Winterglade kneels down. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, let us wait a minute or so more, and then we shall begin. |
| [Nim] says: The circle is further forward this time... |
| Mlila moves closer to Todar. |
| Nim waves at Norkdink. |
| [Silanthos] says: Alas, Arahshiel is not with us tonight. Sad. |
| Norkdink waves at Nim. |
| Ashyne removes his shoulder pads and armor, setting them carefully in his backpack |
| [Meris] says: We have to leave plenty of room for all the Enders that usually show up. |
| Todar smiles at Mlila. |
| Mlila cuddles up against Todar. |
| Felena thanks Meris. |
| Felena smiles at Meris. |
| [Nim] says: We get t'watch up here in style. |
| Luana nods. |
| Norkdink nods. |
| Nim nods at Norkdink. |
| Sirithil waves at Felena. |
| Thristus smiles. |
| [Meris] says: Are you gnomes claiming the log, now? |
| [Cuprifex] says: So, Alerac's making ribs...? |
| [Alerac] says: That's my log! |
| Norkdink nods at Meris. |
| Syrinne without opening her eyes or moving she asks, "Is the undead thing meant to be here?" |
| Thristus smiles at Alerac. |
| [Alerac] says: Feh. |
| [Nim] says: Then how come yer not up here? |
| [Alerac] says: Cause..shaddup! |
| [Silanthos] says: Aye, Syrinne. All Horde are welcome here. |
| Nim quietly snickers to himself. |
| Sirithil leans over to Syrinne. "He came last week. Didn't cause any trouble." |
| [Luana] says: So this goes on every week? |
| [Alerac] says: Yes. every week. |
| [Ingarath] says: Yes, that it does. |
| [Todar] says: yes |
| [Ingarath] says: Amazingly. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| [Silanthos] says: How long has it gone on? |
| Ingarath considers this. |
| [Alerac] says: Since the dawn of MAN. |
| [Todar] says: though i just recently heard about it myself |
| Luana listens attentively. |
| Syrinne remains in the same posture. "Very well." |
| Silanthos eyes Alerac warily |
| [Ingarath] says: It has been going on for a rather long time, to be honest. |
| Meris looks appraisingly at Dugald. "And you have someone to cover your route back in Stormwind tonite, Dugald?" |
| Luana blinks slightly glancing at Meris. |
| Silanthos waves at Koryander. |
| Ingarath stands slowly, dusting off his pants. |
| Felena looks at Trinn, her face stricken with grief for a moment, then composes herself and turns away. |
| Dugald nods at Meris |
| [Sirithil] says: In honesty I have no idea why Hordesmen come... I doubt many of them speak Common. |
| Koryander waves at Silanthos. |
| Ingarath shrugs. |
| [Silanthos] says: Who knows? |
| [Ashyne] says: Greetings Felena |
| Stardancer looks to Ingarath |
| Ashyne turns to her and smiles |
| [Silanthos] says: I find it a sign of hope, really. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Perhaps they're just enjoying all our pretty consonants. |
| [Ingarath] says: Perhaps they just wish to see how we live. |
| [Syrinne] says: Leave the thing be. It intrigues me. |
| [Alerac] says: Damnit Ing, we gonna get this thing started or what? |
| [Luana] says: Its difficult for both sides to communicate, its a sad thing because some mean no harm. |
| [Meris] says: It's not 7:30 yet, Al. |
| [Winterglade] says: I do not mind them.. so long as they are not trying to harm anyone |
| Sirithil waves at Felena. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| [Meris] says: I mean, 8:30. |
| [Alerac] says: It's...erm..past seven thirty, Meris. |
| [Sirithil] says: It's after eight, actually. |
| [Ingarath] says: I think we'll get started now, we've waited long enough. |
| Strand glances to his left, past Felena. |
| Todar lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| Syrinne remians still, eyes shut, body relaxed and perfectly still. |
| You bow down graciously. |
| Stardancer claps excitedly for you. |
| Luana smiles |
| Stardancer beams a smile. |
| Silanthos cheers! |
| [Ingarath] says: Hello, and welcome once again. |
| Trinn sighs, and leans back over to Felena. |
| Meris eyes the two gnomes on the log with amusement. |
| [Zanzabar] says: Gah! There's a dead thing sitting beside me. |
| Silanthos greets Thristus warmly. |
| [Ingarath] says: I'm glad to see all of you again, and must apologize for my absence last week; I was inexplicably detained by...well, anyways. |
| [Ingarath] says: That is neither here nor there. |
| [Nim] says: I feel too far away... |
| Stardancer wonders it if smells. |
| [Ingarath] says: At any rate, I'm glad to see you all here once more. |
| [Alerac] says: What's that, Nim? We can't hear you. |
| [Ashyne] says: woah! |
| Cuprifex pounds his chest a couple times, to make sure his heart still works. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Can we shoot things that are *more* than six feet from me, thanks? |
| [Ingarath] says: In case you do not know, I am Ingarath Melforgan. |
| [Norkdink] says: Bah, pansy |
| [Norkdink] says: I don't miss |
| [Ingarath] says: And if you're wondering where you are, or why you're here - this is a little event we like to call story night. |
| Cuprifex sticks out his tongue at Norkdink. |
| [Norkdink] says: Story night? |
| Stardancer cheers! |
| Trinn lays a tenative hand on Dahla's shoulder, squeezing it for a moment, before turning back to Ingarath. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| [Norkdink] says: I thought this was Orgy Night |
| [Alerac] says: Yeah. That's what we call it, anyway. |
| Todar ponders the situation. |
| Norkdink checks his invitation |
| [Ingarath] says: No, that's tuesdays. |
| [Cuprifex] says: That's Goldshire. |
| [Norkdink] says: Oh! |
| [Alerac] says: Man, Nork, that's on the down low. |
| Luana blushes. |
| You laugh at Norkdink. |
| Strand blushes faintly. |
| Arrish settles in next to Strand, giving him a smile. |
| [Silanthos] says: Why must Gnomes be so scandalous? |
| [Ingarath] says: It's the helmet. |
| [Norkdink] says: Sorry Nim |
| Norkdink shrugs. Who knows? |
| [Ingarath] says: It cuts off the flow of oxygen to their brains. |
| [Sirithil] says: I'm afraid I couldn't get the Tourism Board to support an 'orgy night' here in Lakeshire. |
| [Nim] says: Hm? |
| Luana smiles at Sirithil |
| [Ingarath] says: Nonsense...think of what a boon it would be to the local economy. |
| Koryander smirks slightly |
| [Ingarath] says: They'd have that bridge redone in no time. |
| [Sirithil] says: That's what I told them. |
| [Alerac] says: Especially condom manufacturors. |
| Mlila raises a brow. |
| Stardancer chuckles lightly. |
| [Silanthos] says: The waft of orcs kills the mood for many humans. |
| Ingarath coughs politely. "Moving on." |
| Meris rolls her eyes. |
| Todar laughs. |
| Syrinne opened one eye, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. "You actually proposed one dear?" |
| Sirithil giggles. "Not really. ....should I?" |
| Ingarath gestures around the gathered faces. |
| Arrish smiles over to Felena and Trinn. |
| [Luana] says: Oh dear.. |
| [Ingarath] says: So, now, allow me to invite one of you to share something with us. |
| [Ashyne] says: yikes |
| [Cuprifex] says: So, ribs. Who's cooking? |
| [Ingarath] says: Assuming you live through the excessive use of magic and gunfire. |
| Stardancer apologizes quietly to the group. |
| [Alerac] says: Define excessive. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Syrinne closed the eye, but her slight smile remained. "Depends how you feel about "orgy nights"." |
| Mlila giggles quietly to herself. |
| Nim yawns sleepily. |
| Ashyne sits back down |
| [Ingarath] says: Excessive, adj. "Anything Alerac is ever involved in." |
| Strand sends Dahla a smile, over his shoulder, and turns back to the circle. |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| Cuprifex lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Ingarath] says: See! |
| Ashyne peers over his right shoulder |
| Felena looks back at Dahla with concern deep in her eyes. She stands and take a step back. |
| Luana ducks |
| Nim nods at Norkdink. |
| [Nim] says: S'nice one there. |
| [Ingarath] says: Do you feel better? |
| Cuprifex applauds. Bravo! |
| [Arrish] says: I thought the fireworks weren't until later? |
| [Alerac] says: Yup. |
| Stardancer appears to be unimpressed. |
| Zanzabar puts out his hair. |
| [Silanthos] says: Alerac...you are playing with fire. And I don't mean just literally. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Oooh, ahhh and all that. |
| [Sirithil] says: Okay, could whoever's making with the pyrotechnics save it for later? |
| Meris spies Dahla out of the corner of her eye and sends her a shriveling glance. |
| Ingarath points to Alerac. |
| [Alerac] says: it was Ingarath. |
| Alerac points at you. |
| [Alerac] says: You and your crazy magic. |
| Ashyne peers over his shoulder at Dahla |
| Koryander rases an eyebrow, then resets her helmet |
| [Ingarath] says: Yeah...I forgot to mention, I became a mage while I was in Kalimdor. Funniest thing, that. |
| Ashyne waves at Dahla. |
| Arrish leans her head on Strand's shoulder, tiredly. |
| Dahla gives Meris a weak smile, before looking back to the fire. |
| [Alerac] says: Yeah. I'm totally impressed with you, too. |
| [Ingarath] says: Picked it all up in a few days. Don't know what all the fuss is about. |
| Luana waits for someone to start, curious what type of stories are told. |
| Strand settles a companionable arm around Arrish's shoulders. |
| You laugh. |
| [Alerac] says: 'snothin, really. |
| [Sirithil] says: A mage who knows warlock magics, at that? |
| [Ingarath] says: Yes, yes, we should start. But to start, we need a volunteer. |
| [Cristle] says: Guild meeting? |
| [Alerac] says: You get "Magic for Dummies" when you enroll. |
| Ingarath looks around. |
| Todar pokes Mlila. Hey! |
| Stardancer shakes her head. |
| [Dugald] says: I volunteer to bore you all to tears for a bit |
| Arrish smiles up to Strand and murmurs, "Very good, brother mine." |
| [Alerac] says: Go ahead, man. |
| Norkdink cheers at Dugald! |
| Zanzabar cheers at Dugald! |
| [Alerac] says: Just be aware of they Flying Tackle Laws. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| Mlila shakes her head at Todar. |
| Koryander giggles. |
| Dugald brushes the seat of his pants |
| Luana cheers at Dugald! |
| Ingarath gestures to Dugald. "Go right ahead, please." |
| Meris stares straight ahead into the fire, barely paying attention tonite. |
| Dahla smiles at Dugald. |
| Norkdink readies a rock to throw |
| Stardancer listens intently to Dugald. |
| [Cristle] says: Is this a meeting for your guild? |
| [Dugald] says: Ahem |
| Syrinne 's smile fades and she seems to return into herself. Eye's nopening, not moving from her relaxed sitting. |
| Alerac grumbles at whispers to Meris. |
| Nim leans forward, efforting to listen. |
| [Dugald] says: This is a story about a bumbling crew of thieves... |
| Ingarath whispers to Cristle. "This is a story night." |
| Arrish eyes the voidwalker. |
| [Dugald] says: Tad struggled up the bank of the small stream weighed down by the heavy water jugs. |
| [Dugald] says: Every slip and fall was cause for a slew of words far from the king’s proper verse. |
| Cuprifex gently pats Thulkresh. |
| [Arrish] says: Can you kindly not trail that across people? |
| Thristus nods at Dugald. |
| Sirithil puts an arm around Syrinne and pulls her a little closer. |
| [Dugald] says: He muttered abuse on Paddy and Moore with every step. |
| Thristus smiles at Alerac. |
| [Dugald] says: Always Tad get the water, Tad clean the gear, Tad this Tad that. |
| Ashyne listens intently |
| Trinn glances back at Arrish. |
| [Dugald] says: When they finally made good at their chosen profession, Tad would be long gone if he had his way. |
| Syrinne opens one eye, and smiles softly. Leaning her head on Sirithil's shoulder. |
| Arrish bows before Cristle. |
| Meris waves gently to Arahshiel. |
| [Dugald] says: “Master thieves indeed”, Tad muttered as he finally made it back to their makeshift camp. |
| Trinn has invited you to join a group. |
| Silanthos greet Arahshiel quietly |
| |cFF009955PartyQuests: Unable to detect the SkyParty channel. Please /join SkyParty to use PartyQuests. You may need to leave another channel to join this one. |
| [Dugald] says: "A little more noise if you please Tad," Paddy said as Tad dropped the water jugs on the ground. |
| [Dugald] says: "Yer welcome indeed,"Tad replied. Thieves indeed..., |
| [Dugald] says: Tad thought as he remembered the ups and mostly downs of the last year. |
| Arahshiel smiles at Meris. |
| [Dugald] says: One or two small purses from drunken travelers and few good meals. |
| Stardancer eyes the undead suspciously. |
| [Dugald] says: And what other bunch of thieves got themselves robbed four times and more in their careers? |
| Arahshiel greets Silanthos quietly. |
| [Cristle] says: lol |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Dugald] says: Just then Moore came running up from the other side of camp. |
| Luana laughs at Dugald. |
| Sirithil watches the undead wander aimlessly around the circle, smelling a little musty. |
| Thristus cries. |
| [Cristle] says: Horde! |
| [Dugald] says: "Up and ready lads." he said, as he came to a stop huffing and puffing. |
| Ashyne glaces at the undead |
| [Luana] says: Leave him be he is here in peace. |
| [Dugald] says: "Someone's a cummin' down the path."! |
| [Dugald] says: "Right'o fellas let’s get to it," Paddy said, as he strapped on his sword and dirk. |
| [Ashyne] says: He isnt doing anything wrong, let him be |
| [Ingarath] says: Shh, shh. |
| Thristus is scared of Cristle. |
| [Dugald] says: Moore fingered the blade of his axe and loosened his dirk in it's sheath. |
| Strand listens to Dugald, placidly enough. |
| [Dugald] says: Tad checked his boot knife and the small throwing knife tucked in the back of his collar, |
| Stardancer listens intently to Dugald. |
| [Dugald] says: before hefting his club and following Paddy and Moore towards the path they had camped near. |
| Mlila leans lightly against Todar getting comfortable. |
| [Dugald] says: No sooner had they gotten snug in the brush by the path, ready to pounce a rich traveler, |
| [Dugald] says: than an old woman came into sight around the bend not far off. |
| Todar strokes Mlilas Hair listening to Dugalds story |
| [Dugald] says: But as things always went for this band of brigands, down the path, from the other direction, |
| [Dugald] says: came the noise of other travelers. |
| Syrinne wraps her right arm around Sirithil's waist, and lets out a happy sigh of comfort. |
| [Dugald] says: As the hapless rogues watched, five grim-faced men walked up the path towards the old woman, |
| [Dugald] says: who had stopped right next to their hiding spot. |
| [Dugald] says: The strangers circled the woman, and the meanest looking one of them told her, |
| [Dugald] says: "We'll have any gold and jewels your carrying old hag." |
| Stardancer frowns. |
| [Dugald] says: The woman gave him a hard stare and replied, "A fine bunch to take what little an old mother has." |
| Innos salutes Dugald with respect. |
| [Dugald] says: At that the mean-looking brigand pulled a long knife and said, "Have it your way hag." |
| Meris draws her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. |
| Luana frowns with disappointment at Dugald. |
| [Dugald] says: The three hidden thieves turned and looked at each other, and Paddy shrugged his shoulders |
| Trinn stretches her legs out in front of her and leans back on her elbows. |
| [Dugald] says: and jumped up and yelled "Harroo harroo." and crashed through the brush, sword in hand, |
| Arrish listens, leaning on Strand's shoulder. She has a bit of a smile. |
| [Dugald] says: with his mates hard behind him. |
| [Dugald] says: Poor thieves this trio might be, but cowards they were not. |
| [Dugald] says: They put to with gusto and grim as their foes might be, the fight was short and final. |
| Luana nods softly with a smile. |
| [Dugald] says: The mean-looking brigand never knew who sent him to the abyss, all he felt was Paddy's cold steel and the kiss of death. |
| [Dugald] says: Moore's axe made quick work of one foe and clipped another close enough to send him packing. |
| [Dugald] says: Tad cracked a skull and turned on the last of the five just in time to see him run fast on the heels of his fleeing mate. |
| [Dugald] says: The old woman had thanked them over and over. |
| [Dugald] says: Then she made much of giving each of them a little pouch in which she put a single silver coin. |
| [Dugald] says: The three had given each other a glance and quietly thanked her before all took their leave. |
| Luana hums softly. |
| [Dugald] says: With much grumbling from Tad about meager wages they had packed up and went on their way. |
| Stardancer arches a brow. |
| [Dugald] says: In the days to come the trio found an odd thing about their new pouches. |
| [Dugald] says: Each had spent his coin, but when they opened their pouch again there was a silver coin in it. |
| Luana Ooo's softly. |
| [Dugald] says: Never two or three, but always one. |
| [Sirithil] says: Oooh. I could use one of those. |
| Stardancer wants a pouch like that. |
| [Silanthos] says: heh |
| Cuprifex lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Dugald] says: Though they never made much of themselves as thieves and they were never rich, they were never poor either. |
| Meris gives Alerac a look of distress. |
| [Dugald] says: Meager pay indeed. |
| Dugald bows down graciously. |
| Stardancer claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Innos claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Luana claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Koryander claps excitedly. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| Arrish applauds at Dugald. Bravo! |
| Todar claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Winterglade claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| [Stardancer] says: Well done! |
| Sirithil applauds at Dugald. Bravo! |
| Ashyne claps excitedly. |
| Mlila claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Zanzabar claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Silanthos claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Arahshiel claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Alerac applauds at Dugald. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you! |
| [Luana] says: Nice story! |
| Dahla applauds at Dugald. Bravo! |
| Athratir claps excitedly for Dugald. |
| Cuprifex applauds at Dugald. Bravo! |
| Nim claps excitedly. |
| [Silanthos] says: Well said! |
| [Dugald] says: Thank you thank you |
| Syrinne remains still. |
| Thristus applauds. Bravo! |
| Strand claps cheerfully. |
| [Ashyne] says: Good story! Well told! |
| Thristus claps excitedly. |
| Trinn claps politely. |
| [Athratir] says: Well spoken, sir |
| [Nim] says: S'good story! |
| Thristus claps excitedly. |
| Thristus claps excitedly. |
| Dugald waves at Thristus. |
| Thristus claps excitedly. |
| Sirithil leans over to Dugald. "I don't suppose you know where I could get one of those, eh?" |
| Stardancer frowns. |
| Arrish blinks and looks behind her. |
| Luana smiles |
| [Ingarath] says: So...who will rise next? |
| Koryander grins over at Sirithil |
| [Athratir] says: I have a story |
| Arrish nods politely to Athratir. |
| Koryander greets Thristus with a hearty hello! |
| [Silanthos] says: I've got one percolating, but I'm not quite done yet. |
| [Athratir] says: It is short |
| Syrinne giggles lightly, "You have the riches of your house dear." |
| You clap excitedly for Athratir. |
| Thristus beckons Dugald over. |
| Sirithil greets Thristus warmly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Please...by all means. |
| Stardancer claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Thristus motions for Dugald to follow. |
| Athratir nods to the man |
| Dugald questions Thristus. |
| Meris casts a wayward glance to Felena. |
| Stardancer listens intently to Athratir. |
| Arrish watches the robed man, straightening. |
| Athratir looks at the faces in the circle |
| Koryander blinks. |
| Felena smiles at Meris, but her face seems sad. |
| [Athratir] says: My name is Narthal, and I come as a humble servant of the Light |
| Strand watches Athratir, leaning back somewhat. |
| Luana listens attentively |
| [Athratir] says: This story has been burning on my heart for the past few days |
| Mlila listens intently to Athratir. |
| Syrinne smirks. "So many servants of the Light." |
| Stardancer thinks someting doesn't seem right about that, and shrugs it of. |
| Athratir grins at the woman |
| Meris blinks a few times while listening to Alerac, looking more alarmed by the minute. |
| Innos Is suspcisios of the "servant of the light" |
| Arahshiel strokes the smooth fur of Mistwalker before leaning against the strength of the great cat. |
| Luana whispers "Yes we multiply like bunnies and keep your health in good shape" |
| Ingarath coughs. |
| Trinn watches the storyteller, ignoring the byplay around her. |
| Zanzabar is unsettled by Meris's uneasyness. |
| Nim leans over and whispers to Norkdink. |
| [Athratir] says: A young woman, raised on a farm, had always dreamed of seeing the city of stone and white buildings that she heard in the stories of travellers |
| Syrinne giggles lightly, "And yet no allies, friends, equals. Everyone is a servant...." Ponders this for a time. |
| Stardancer regards Athratir |
| [Athratir] says: However, she meekly did her duty to her family, performing the farm chores well and ably |
| Sirithil gives Syrinne another hug. |
| [Athratir] says: Her father and younger siblings were more than content with her presence on the farm. She was the strength of her family |
| Syrinne clings gently to Sirithil, still her head rested on her shoulder. |
| Dwarda waves. |
| Luana waves at Dugald. |
| [Athratir] says: But at night, she would still dream of walking through the paved stone streets of the city |
| Mlila smiles at Dwarda and gestures for her to sit next to her. |
| Arrish listens rather intently. |
| Stardancer enjoys the story. |
| [Athratir] says: Nearing her twentieth year, she pleaded with her father to allow her to make the journey to the city. "Father, we need supplies, and I can sell a few of our goods at market," she said to him |
| Luana nods softly. |
| [Athratir] says: Seeing the unrelenting passion in her daughter's eyes, the father could not resist his only daughter's wish |
| Elarion will be right back. |
| [Athratir] says: "Go, then, my daughter," he said. "But come back when you can. You have a duty here." |
| Innos looks over to his right and recoils in horror as he sees dugald standing next to an undead in leather armor. |
| Todar blows Mlila a kiss. |
| Innos and an orc in plate. |
| [Athratir] says: The young woman was so excited, she barely heard her father's words. She packed her satchel, took a cart of the farm's goods, and set off for the city |
| Felena nods, slowly. |
| Strand steeples his fingers in his lap, and looks down at them. |
| Mlila leans over and kisses Todar on the cheek. |
| Todar blushes. |
| [Athratir] says: The trip was uneventful, and the city was larger than she expected |
| [Todar] says: I will see you see you tomorrow my love |
| Arrish glances aside at Strand. |
| [Athratir] says: Stopping at an inn, she availed herself of the local hospitality, and the Church was more than welcome to oblige her |
| Mlila smiles at Todar and nods. |
| [Athratir] says: She stayed in the city many days past the market |
| Innos looks at the undead in confusion. |
| Jorne beckons Thristus over. |
| Jorne nods at Thristus. |
| Athratir nods to the man |
| Luana waves at Fizzlepocket. |
| [Athratir] says: Weeks went by, and finally a letter from her father came to her |
| Silanthos nods. |
| [Athratir] says: Through the Church, of course. For the father knew that the Light would protect his daughter, and lead her back to her duty |
| Thristus questions Jorne. |
| Jorne listens intently to Thristus. |
| [Athratir] says: He reminded her of her duty, to her family, and told of rumors that bandits were hovering around the neighboring farms |
| Syrinne smirks but remains silent. |
| Arrish frowns faintly, her brow furrowing. |
| [Athratir] says: But the girl did not heed her father's letter, thinking that her life in the city was more interesting |
| Luana nods again listening. |
| Mlila shakes her head sadly. |
| Stardancer finds that sad. |
| Innos resists the urge to get up and throw some frost bolts at the undead. |
| Strand puts his arm back around Arrish's shoulders, feather-light. |
| [Athratir] says: Neglecting her duty, she only returned to the farm after two months, when her coin had been spent, and her friends had left for greener pastures |
| [Athratir] says: She found the farm razed to the ground, her siblings peddling the countryside as paupers |
| Elarion peers around the circle searchingly. |
| [Luana] says: Oh dear *softly* |
| [Silanthos] says: Oh my. |
| Arrish settles a little more against Strand. |
| Jorne chuckles |
| Norkdink cheers! |
| [Athratir] says: Her father, she could not find |
| Cuprifex frowns. He'd been in Westfall earlier. |
| Sirithil leans over to Syrinne, whispering. |
| Syrinne smirks and mutters, "That'll teach her for living on a farm to begin with." |
| [Athratir] says: It's told that she wasted away on the shores west of her farm, asking the crawlers and gulls for news of her father |
| Felena glares angrily at Syrinne. |
| Innos chuckles at Syrinne. |
| Alerac shrugs at Meris. Who knows? |
| Sirithil gives Syrinne a gentle elbowing. |
| Stardancer listens intently to Athratir. |
| [Athratir] says: Some say that you can still hear her voice, pleading in the wind, on chill autumn nights |
| Norkdink throws a small rock at Syrinne |
| Luana nods .."Very sad" |
| Norkdink quietly snickers to himself. |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| [Silanthos] says: That was sad... |
| [Athratir] says: All for the sake of forsaking her duty. Her life came to ruin |
| Syrinne had her eyes closed but couldn't help but smile. "Sorry... sorry." |
| Arrish says politely, "Such a sad story." |
| [Sirithil] says: So... what did happen to the father? |
| Athratir closes his eyes, and bows his head as if in prayer |
| Felena says a prayer for Athratir. |
| Ingarath sighs softly. |
| Stardancer glances down at her hands sadly. |
| Koryander frowns slightly |
| Mlila sighs deeply and glances down at the ground. |
| Strand looks over, deliberately, at Nim's diving helmet. |
| [Luana] says: Light bless you brother. |
| Fizzlepocket shrugs it off... |
| Arrish laces her hands together, and looks down at them. |
| [Athratir] says: The father? He became lost to the bandits. Some parts of the legend say that he was killed by them. But I believe that he went with the bandits, having lost the thing he lived for |
| Athratir looks at the faces in the circle |
| Nim removes his helmet so he can do some face emotes. |
| Sirithil nods a little. |
| [Athratir] says: Thank you all |
| Syrinne mutters, "And probably bettered himself doing so." |
| Meris doesn't respond to to either of the people to her side, just listening to the storyteller now. |
| Silanthos claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Luana claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Stardancer claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Norkdink claps for Fizzlepocket, clearly unimpressed. |
| Cuprifex applauds at Athratir. Bravo! |
| Zanzabar claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Sirithil claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Arrish looks up again, and then claps politely. |
| Mlila applauds at Athratir. Bravo! |
| Arahshiel looks sympathetically at Arthratir. |
| Dahla applauds at Athratir. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: Well.... |
| Strand lifts his free hand to clap, but finds his other hand occupied, and claps not. |
| Athratir kneels down. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you for sharing. |
| Felena sighs, saddened by the tale. |
| [Nim] says: That was a good story. Liked that one. So sad though. |
| Ingarath looks occupied for a second, and then snaps to attention. |
| Syrinne moves her hand around Sirithil's lap, quickling finding hers and clasping it. |
| Stardancer stares into the fire thoughtfully. |
| [Ingarath] says: I have something to share, but I'm not quite ready yet. Who would like to go next? |
| [Silanthos] says: I think I'm done. |
| [Alerac] says: Take care, man. |
| You wave at Silanthos. |
| [Silanthos] says: Just figured out the ending, actually |
| Sirithil cuddles up against Syrinne. |
| [Luana] says: I have something.. |
| Arahshiel looks encouragingly at Silanthos. |
| Meris looks back over her right shoulder at Felena, somewhat intrigued, but too worried tonite to care much. |
| [Luana] says: Oh I will wait |
| Ingarath mutters about magic users under his breath. |
| [Silanthos] says: You sure? |
| Arrish murmurs to Strand, "Excuse me, brother mine." |
| [Strand] says: Mmm. |
| [Luana] says: Please go ahead good elf. |
| [Silanthos] says: Right, then. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| Stardancer listens intently to Silanthos. |
| Silanthos clears his throat. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Excuse me.. |
| Arrish turns and looks over her shoulder at Athratir, then rises quietly. |
| Sirithil wonders what's worried Meris. |
| [Silanthos] says: Once again, I come to you with a story that took place long, long ago. |
| Trinn watches Arrish for a moment before turning back to Silanthos. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: ... You took my seat! |
| [Silanthos] says: When Azeroth was still young and savage, and gods walked the world. |
| Fizzlepocket sighs, and sits next to Nim. |
| Dahla glances over at Strand, questioningly. |
| Felena walks off into the nearby hills. |
| [Alerac] says: Sorry, man. |
| [Silanthos] says: There were two siblings, a brother and sister. The brother's name was Ulathil, and the sister's name was Tamilyn. |
| Mlila leans over to whisper to Dwarda. |
| Luana listens. |
| Strand leans in a little, and murmurs. |
| [Silanthos] says: They were both strong in their own right. Tamilyn, though, the stronger. Many trolls she felled with her spear, and her affection was the target of many a young elf. |
| Nim watches the elf, listening to the story. |
| Norkdink falls asleep. Zzzzzzz. |
| [Silanthos] says: She was propositioned many times, but no suitor impressed her. Their arrows were never true enough. Their beasts just barely too tamed. |
| Fizzlepocket picks at the dirt under his fingernails with an axe, listening.. |
| Alerac leans over to whisper to Meris. |
| [Silanthos] says: No man held her interest. Nor woman, for that matter. |
| [Silanthos] says: Her vanity prevented her from appreciating anyone other than herself. |
| Luana nods knowing this. |
| [Silanthos] says: One day, though, as Tamilyn hunted her supper in the thick of the jungle, she spied an elf she had never seen before |
| [Silanthos] says: There was something in this elf's walk. Their shape, their manner, that made them both utterly familiar and totally alien at the same time. |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn was entranced by this strange elf's aspect |
| Stardancer wonders. |
| Norkdink laughs at Great Goretusk. |
| Norkdink pokes Great Goretusk. Hey! |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn approached tentatively, having not yet seen this elf's face or front. |
| [Silanthos] says: At her greeting, the elf turned, and Tamilyn was struck dumb. |
| [Silanthos] says: So beautiful a creature she had never seen. |
| Sirithil whispers to Syrinne. |
| Luana sighs wistfully |
| [Silanthos] says: Its skin as pale as alabaster, hair as green as leaves in spring. |
| Stardancer is really beginning to think the undead is up to no good. |
| Fizzlepocket grins... "I bet that elf would be thinkin' something different if she saw the Fizzle-bo-shizzle!" |
| [Silanthos] says: "Who are you?" she asked sutteringly. |
| Fizzlepocket flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong! |
| Luana hides a laugh |
| [Silanthos] says: With a grin that could only be described as devious, the elf replied..."Elune." |
| Ingarath reminds himself to approve the petition in Lakeshire to make gnome punting legal. |
| Kayentelva invites Thristus to sit in the circle |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn threw herself into prostration immediately. |
| Norkdink throws a large rock at Ingarath |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Sirithil denies all accusations of donating campaign funding to that petition. Yes. Indeed. |
| Cuprifex shifts slightly. |
| Arahshiel seems very intrigued by this turn in the story. |
| Kayentelva waves at Thristus. |
| Sirithil blinks at the twist in the story. |
| [Silanthos] says: Elune threw her head back and roared with laughter, amused at this humility. |
| Thristus gazes eagerly at Kayentelva. |
| Norkdink fidgets |
| [Silanthos] says: "Rise, child!" she said. "Yours is a special honor tonight." |
| Syrinne blushes deeply and whispers somethin back to Sirithil. |
| Thristus frowns with disappointment at Kayentelva. |
| Meris eyes Thristus up and down. |
| Kayentelva invites Thristus to sit and listen to the elf |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn rose tentatively, daring to meet the goddesses' gaze. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Zanzabar beckons Thristus over. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Luana hums softly smiling at Silanthos |
| [Silanthos] says: "And what is that, goddess?" the yong girl asked. |
| Thristus gazes eagerly at Zanzabar. |
| Thristus questions Zanzabar. |
| Norkdink waves at Thristus. |
| [Silanthos] says: "You've my fancy," the goddess replied. |
| Sirithil arches an eyebrow. |
| Thristus tickles Norkdink. Hee hee! |
| Meris smirks slyly at Norkdink. |
| Norkdink tickles Thristus. Hee hee! |
| Fizzlepocket cuts himself with the axe, very, VERY intrigued.. |
| Kayentelva gasps in wonder |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: HELLO! |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| Syrinne giggles bashfully as she whispers into Sirithil's ear. |
| [Alerac] says: ...bloody hell. |
| Strand grins, sudden, and allows his shoulders to relax. |
| Norkdink pokes Thristus. Hey! |
| Thristus smiles at Norkdink. |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn felt weak in her knees, and were it not for Elune's quickness, she would have fallen to the ground. |
| Luana reaches over to Fizzle and heals the cut with a warm hand. |
| Thristus bonks Norkdink on the noggin. Doh! |
| Thristus laughs at Norkdink. |
| Norkdink snickers at Thristus. |
| Norkdink drops his trousers and moons Thristus. |
| [Silanthos] says: "Your swoon is flattering, but unbecoming," the goddess laughed. |
| Thristus cries on Norkdink's shoulder. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Norkdink gently pats Thristus. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Thristus hugs Norkdink. |
| Norkdink comforts Thristus. |
| Thristus thanks Norkdink. |
| [Silanthos] says: Theirs was a romance without equal. Long they hunted into the night, the forests echoing with their laughter and exultations of affection. |
| Norkdink nods at Thristus. |
| Stardancer smiles. |
| Luana smiles. |
| [Silanthos] says: Many years they fought the forces of darkness, and many years their love was looked upon with envy and appreciation. |
| Norkdink flicks a booger on Dugald's back |
| [Silanthos] says: But, alas, as many stories do, this does not end happily. |
| Dwarda cries. |
| [Sirithil] says: These ones never do, do they? |
| Thristus loves Norkdink. |
| [Silanthos] says: Elune is a fickle force, her changing face all too well known to we elves. |
| Cuprifex glances at Dwarda, and ponders Elven religion. |
| [Silanthos] says: And after a few centuries her fancy turned from Tamilyn to someone else. |
| Luana frowns softly and wipes the offending body substance off Dugald with a leaf tossing it back toward Norkdink |
| Thristus apologizes to Norkdink. Sorry! |
| [Sirithil] says: Why that...! |
| Ingarath mouths, "A few centuries...?" |
| Thristus waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell! |
| Stardancer frowns. |
| Thristus apologizes to everyone. Sorry! |
| Sirithil waves goodbye to Thristus. Farewell! |
| Luana waves at Thristus. |
| Meris waves at Thristus. |
| Cuprifex waves at Thristus. |
| [Silanthos] says: Tamilyn returned one night to find Elune in the arms of Ulathil, her brother. |
| Ingarath contemplates having Elune to himself for a few centuries, and turns rather red. |
| Syrinne whispers, "It means a few hundred year dear." |
| Dugald waves at Thristus. |
| Norkdink laughs at Dsalemme. |
| Ingarath eyes Syrinne. "You're about as funny as a kick to the head." |
| Fizzlepocket sighs... "So long, girl on girl action.." |
| Norkdink sighs at Dsalemme. |
| Strand glances down at the ground, all casual. |
| Luana elbows Fizzle gently |
| [Silanthos] says: Her body was numb. Her heart aflame with hurt and passion, and her hands, so gentle with her lover, now hefted her spear. |
| Syrinne grins wide, "Why thankyou!" Looking fairly proud. |
| Sirithil whispers, "Poor Tamilyn. I know that feeling." |
| [Silanthos] says: "What is this?" she cried, her tears spilling in rage and hurt. |
| Cuprifex mumbles, "sounds familiar... 'cept *she* wasn't a goddess, and *he* wasn't my brother." |
| Syrinne scowls, "Hey I died, I didn't run off with some *male*." |
| Sirithil replies "I wasn't talking about you." |
| [Silanthos] says: Elune rose, still flush from her recent activities, and walked to Tamilyn's side. |
| Fizzlepocket rubs his arm from where Luana elbowed him... |
| Syrinne scowls deeper, "Mmm." |
| Luana nods again listening. |
| [Silanthos] says: "Yours was a love of passion. A love of unending devotion. But, as all things in this world, such things do not last." |
| [Silanthos] says: "But....I still love you!" Tamilyn cried. |
| Cuprifex chuckles at Dsalemme. |
| Meris smirks slyly at Alerac. |
| You have joined a raid group |
| There are too many channels. Channel #Raid# is no longer joined. |
| Luana pushes at the pig |
| [Silanthos] says: But Elune would say no more. At that moment, dawn broke, and the goddess descended to the night sky below the horizon. |
| Thristus salutes Norkdink with respect. |
| Norkdink salutes Thristus with respect. |
| [Silanthos] says: Soon after, Tamilyn died of a broken heart, and her brother soon afterwards from the betrayal he felt. |
| Norkdink cheers! |
| [Luana] says: Oo dear |
| Thristus cheers at Norkdink! |
| Winterglade frowns with disappointment at Silanthos. |
| Sirithil cries on Syrinne's shoulder. |
| [Silanthos] says: Love, it is said. But love wisely. For some day the one you love may feel differently. |
| Thristus cries on Norkdink's shoulder. |
| Thristus waves goodbye to Norkdink. Farewell! |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: On the bright side, most relationships fall apart after the first five years... |
| Silanthos bows down graciously. |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Silanthos. |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| Thristus tries to calm Dwarda down. |
| [Silanthos] says: Not as polished as I'd like... |
| Cuprifex applauds at Silanthos. Bravo! |
| Strand looks up, frowning a little, but claps. |
| Fizzlepocket applauds at Silanthos. Bravo! |
| Luana claps excitedly for Silanthos. |
| Nim snickers at Fizzlepocket. |
| Dahla applauds at Silanthos. Bravo! |
| Syrinne tries to comfort Sirithil, "Hey... shh... look. I died and that didn't pull us apart. It won't happen... don't worry." |
| Lomion mutters to himself. |
| Ingarath mumbles..."hard to disapprove of any story with Elune and..." *trails off* |
| Dahla is now the group leader. |
| Sirithil cuddles Syrinne, and applauds Silanthos. |
| Stardancer frowns at the story. |
| Sirithil applauds at Silanthos. Bravo! |
| Trinn grins at ingarath. |
| Ingarath shakes himself. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, that was very nice. |
| Meris nods at Alerac. |
| Syrinne holds Sirithil firmly. |
| Cuprifex reminds himself to visit the Temple of Elune in Darnassus someday and see if the statue's really as impressive as he's heard. |
| Winterglade sighs and wanders off, shaking her head |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, I hate to rain on the parade, but now I'm going to share. |
| Ingarath stands slowly. |
| Norkdink moos at you. Mooooooooooo. |
| Meris looks up to Ingarath expectantly. |
| [Strand] says: Light drizzle at the very most, surely. Perhaps more of a mist. |
| Luana nods at Ingarath |
| [Ingarath] says: I wrote this a while ago, and haven't really shared it with...well, anyone. |
| Strand settles back and listens. |
| Syrinne grins and mutters, "Wait give me a moment. I've misplaced the wool for my ears!" |
| [Cuprifex] says: After a tragic family story and a sad love-myth, how wet can the parade get? |
| [Zanzabar] says: Oh dear lord no...not her. |
| [Ingarath] says: It reflects what I was feeling at the time. |
| Trinn hugs her knees to her chest, looking over at Ingarath. |
| [Ingarath] says: If it offends you, I apologize in advance. Life is not always a bowl of peaches. |
| Havyn glances over the crowd. |
| Zanzabar spies Havyn across the way. |
| Dahla tries really hard not to snicker at the "peaches". |
| Meris nods at Havyn. |
| Ingarath removes a leatherbound book from his pocket, opens it, and flips through some pages. |
| [Ingarath] says: Cherish |
| [Ingarath] says: the loves in your life |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Well, that works out for me. I don't like peaches.. |
| Syrinne mutters, "Peaches... great... I'm alergic to peaches." |
| [Ingarath] says: in twilight look up, |
| Havyn glares at Alerac as she takes a seat |
| [Ingarath] says: see their faces |
| Sirithil smiles. |
| [Ingarath] says: and wonder why they threw it all away |
| [Sirithil] says: I *love* peaches! |
| Alerac gives Havyn a subtle rude gesture as she sits. |
| [Ingarath] says: and wonder why |
| [Ingarath] says: why in a world so cursed as ours |
| Meris continues whispering to Alerac, glancing back at Havyn curiously. |
| [Ingarath] says: would Fools add to the misery, |
| Trinn frowns, leaning forward to listen more closely. |
| [Ingarath] says: chaining themselves in bonds they do not comprehend, |
| [Syrinne] says: Well that's all well and good for *you* dear, *yu* don't break out in hives. |
| Zanzabar does not feel safe with Havyn behind him. |
| [Ingarath] says: speak in tongues no ear should hear, |
| Norkdink thinks Havyn is a sexy devil. |
| Norkdink flirts with Havyn. |
| [Ingarath] says: exalting all the worst capacities of the spirit, |
| [Ingarath] says: holding up a cup of filth, for all to worship. |
| [Ingarath] says: I dream, sometimes |
| [Ingarath] says: in the dark - I still manage to do it |
| [Norkdink] says: Hey baby, you ever been with a gnome in a rocket helmet? |
| Havyn raises a brow and hisses a curse under her breath. |
| Edum glances over at Syrinne,"Could you please keep your mouth shut while Friend Ingarath recites?" |
| [Ingarath] says: (now and again) |
| Norkdink flexes at Havyn. Oooooh so strong! |
| [Ingarath] says: I wonder why it is, |
| [Ingarath] says: That mere existence is not enough; |
| [Ingarath] says: I wonder why it is, |
| [Ingarath] says: That our own power is not enough; |
| [Ingarath] says: I wonder why it is, |
| Luana listens intently. |
| [Ingarath] says: That nothing is ever enough. |
| [Ingarath] says: I dream, of a world |
| [Ingarath] says: where the Eye closes |
| [Ingarath] says: and shines no more on the soul of Man |
| [Ingarath] says: a world, where fools are not lured to reckless power, |
| [Ingarath] says: and all beings are free to thrive, |
| [Ingarath] says: a world, free, |
| Norkdink looks at his toes |
| [Ingarath] says: from the grip of the machine, |
| [Ingarath] says: free, to pursue the true fruits of Will. |
| [Ingarath] says: A world, |
| [Ingarath] says: where Veras was never born, |
| Norkdink cheers at you. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ane Kelith and all his incarnations drown in childhood, |
| Sirithil bursts out laughing. |
| Zanzabar gasps. |
| [Ingarath] says: and Lucius breathes fresh air, |
| [Ingarath] says: Meris joins SI:7 instead, |
| [Sirithil] says: ...oh, he wasn't joking. |
| Cuprifex raises an eyebrow. |
| Dahla looks up at Ingarath, listening raptly, sadness touching her face. |
| Syrinne holds back a burst of histerical laughter, the resulting sound similar to a chocking oxen. |
| Strand is somber, more so with the last few lines. |
| Havyn turns a cold glare on Ingarath. |
| Trinn sits back, hand to her mouth as she listens. |
| [Ingarath] says: And Alerac still says fuck...but doesn't drink as much. |
| [Ingarath] says: Instead, |
| [Ingarath] says: not a dream, |
| [Ingarath] says: just some hideous machine, |
| [Ingarath] says: just some twisted reality, |
| [Ingarath] says: just another chorus, in an overplayed song, |
| [Ingarath] says: but the band plays on. |
| Luana blinks. |
| [Ingarath] says: One last dance dear, |
| [Ingarath] says: even though your hands are falling off. |
| [Ingarath] says: One last dance dear, |
| Cuprifex laughs. |
| Meris rolls her eyes at Ingarath. |
| [Ingarath] says: Your flesh is finally rotting. |
| [Ingarath] says: One last dance dear, |
| [Ingarath] says: And we'll try to make you gorgeous again. |
| [Ingarath] says: This is the conspiracy that never ends, |
| [Luana] says: Oh dear.. |
| [Ingarath] says: Chewing its way to the heart of the universe, |
| [Ingarath] says: one gilded thread at a time; |
| Dugald frowns |
| [Ingarath] says: and after the teeth stop gnashing, |
| [Ingarath] says: and the nails stop tearing, |
| Syrinne blinks, "What? Dancin is evil?" |
| [Ingarath] says: perhaps one day, |
| [Ingarath] says: a foolish rogue with jet black hair, |
| [Ingarath] says: can stand up in front of a crowd, |
| [Ingarath] says: and try to remember you. |
| Fizzlepocket sits there, slightly touched by the poetry... "I am so going to have to steal that poem and publish it..." |
| Ingarath snaps his book shut, and falls silent. |
| Cuprifex cheers at you. |
| Silanthos cheers at you. |
| Dugald applauds at you. Bravo! |
| Fizzlepocket lavishes praise upon you. |
| Nim claps excitedly. |
| Edum claps excitedly for you. |
| Luana claps excitedly for you. |
| Trinn lets out her breath, very slowly. |
| Sirithil claps excitedly for you. |
| [Alerac] says: ...damnit man, I don't drink that much... |
| [Meris] says: Ingarath, I believed that just a few storytelling sessions ago, you complained about Lystera not getting preachy... |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Athratir. |
| Stardancer claps. |
| Suenya disappears leaving only a grin. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Ingarath, I've underestimated you. |
| Strand claps, quietly. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Shut the hell up, Meris. |
| [Meris] says: And here you go again. |
| [Nim] says: That one, I really, really liked. |
| Dugald wipes away some moistness from his eye |
| Dahla just sits, silent. |
| Norkdink leans over to Meris and whispers loudly "Who is the rogue he's talking about?" |
| [Silanthos] says: Rather ghastly. But enjoyable. |
| Syrinne claps... but only a little. Trying her hardest to be unenthusiastic. |
| Meris looks with surprise at Ingarath. |
| Norkdink quietly snickers to himself. |
| Suenya lies down before Selariah. |
| Sirithil can't help but be a bit amused at the polarizing effect of that poem on the circle. |
| Stardancer bids good evening to everyone. |
| [Ingarath] says: My feelings are just that....my feelings. |
| Ingarath shrugs. |
| [Luana] says: Goodnight |
| Mlila smiles and waves at Stardancer |
| Selariah reaches over and scratches Suenya's neck. |
| [Norkdink] says: The elves are leaveing |
| Norkdink cheers! |
| [Dugald] says: A world without ghoulish smoothies... |
| [Meris] says: Am I not wanted in this gathering now? |
| Strand glances over his shoulder at Athratir. |
| [Silanthos] says: Not all of us... |
| [Alerac] says: What's up with this fuckin smoothie business?! |
| Norkdink lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Sirithil] says: ...now I want a smoothie. Though not a chunky one. |
| [Ingarath] says: That's not it at all, Meris... |
| Cuprifex snickers at you. |
| [Koryander] says: Banana smoothies are nice... |
| [Meris] says: I have as much of a love of culture as others, but I don't... discuss personal affairs. |
| Koryander smiles. |
| [Luana] says: Now is not the time. |
| [Cuprifex] says: "if I took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?" |
| [Ingarath] says: ...Personal affairs are the ROOT of all culture. |
| [Dugald] says: Oh, I have some bananas still. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Yes! He has some bananas! |
| [Syrinne] says: You got something to hide... Meris? |
| Meris looks nervously about the circle before settling back down into her thoughts. |
| [Alerac] says: ...the hell is he... |
| [Koryander] says: hehe |
| Syrinne smiled a little at her comment. |
| Sirithil gives Syrinne another elbow. |
| Strand takes a breath, looking down at his hands, then back up. |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| Trinn frowns. "It's as he said. His feelings are feelings." |
| Syrinne mutters, "Sorry... sorry... but you know you were thinkin' it." |
| Cuprifex lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Silanthos] says: Come, now. Are we here to argue and feel bitter, or are we here to tell stories? |
| [Sirithil] says: Stories! |
| [Cuprifex] says: Stories, of course. |
| Ingarath shrugs. "If you listened, Meris...you'd know I don't bear you any ill will. Quite the opposite, actually." |
| [Meris] says: Both, it would seem. |
| [Syrinne] says: I vote argue and bitterness. |
| Strand says simply, "Stories." |
| Trinn nods at Strand. |
| [Strand] says: May I, sir? |
| [Ingarath] says: Please, please. |
| [Cuprifex] says: Arguing and bitterness are why we have Stormwind. |
| Athratir nods silently |
| You clap excitedly for Strand. |
| [Dugald] says: Right, let's hear another or I will start singing |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Well, normally I'd say "Argue" because I love mob violence. |
| Luana waits patiently. |
| [Sirithil] says: Oh, gods. Quick! Someone get up there, NOW! |
| [Cuprifex] says: Another story! |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Especially when I'm in one. |
| [Strand] says: My father says that a man must be able to do two things. |
| [Syrinne] says: Oh no, he's gonna sing, too late to change my vote? |
| Dahla shoots a glare at Athratir. "He's coming back." |
| [Strand] says: One is cry, and one is laugh. |
| Havyn watches Alerac a moment |
| [Sirithil] says: I already overrode it, dear. ^_^ |
| [Strand] says: Forget to do either, and you are not what you might be. |
| [Syrinne] says: Oh... alright. |
| Ingarath eyes Strand. |
| Luana glances at Strand listening. |
| [Strand] says: So: this is a story about the cleverest field mouse there ever was. His name is Mellor. |
| Syrinne snuggles herself back up against Sirithil happily. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Suenya purrs hungrily. |
| [Sirithil] says: Oooh, cute field mice! |
| [Strand] says: There are many stories of Mellor, but this is the one I will tell tonight. |
| Athratir winks at Dahla, "But not yet" |
| Trinn starts grinning, watching Strand. |
| Dahla grins at Strand, settling in. |
| [Syrinne] says: Don't mice carry desease..... |
| Sirithil cuddles up against Syrinne. |
| [Dugald] says: Mellor the wonder filed mouse. |
| [Sirithil] says: Rats do. |
| Norkdink grins wickedly. |
| Luana glances back at Suenya, wondering what he is hungering for.. |
| Strand takes a breath, slowing his words, and nods to himself. |
| [Syrinne] says: Oh... my mistake. |
| Syrinne blinks. |
| [Strand] says: Once upon a time, Mellor owed some people a huge sum of money. Huge for a field mouse, anyhow. |
| [Norkdink] says: A mouse owed money? |
| [Silanthos] says: Sush |
| [Norkdink] says: How in the hell... |
| [Norkdink] says: What did he buy? |
| [Luana] says: Shh it is a story. |
| Arahshiel seems happy to hear another tale of Mellor. |
| [Norkdink] says: A cat? |
| [Strand] says: Maybe not huge for them, but he thought, being clever -- better safe than certain. Better to avoid his creditors at all costs. |
| [Sirithil] says: It's established the mouse was clever for a mouse. I'm sure he could buy something! |
| Ingarath hisses, "He's a wonder mouse!!!!" |
| Strand flicks a grin to Sirithil. |
| Koryander grins and sits down behind Syrinne and Sirithil |
| Meris leans back to Havyn and whispers to her. |
| [Nim] says: If he was clever, he wouldn't be in debt. |
| Syrinne glances back at Kory and winks, "Hey tincan." |
| Luana apologizes to Strand. Sorry! |
| Havyn responds to Meris quietly |
| [Strand] says: At this time, Mellor lived in Stormwind. So, to run from the people he /knew/ were chasing him, he thought best to go to Duskwood. But this would require crossing the river. Hard for a field mouse. |
| [Norkdink] says: If he was clever, he would have realized he's a MOUSE and that he doesn't need to buy things |
| Koryander grins "Thats Miss tincan ta you" |
| Strand crouches down, just a little, and mimes a mouse peering at a vast body of water. |
| Syrinne laughs quietly. |
| Luana smiles. |
| Kayentelva sighs |
| Norkdink ponders seeing a mouse at the auction house, trying on armor |
| Koryander giggles at Strand. |
| [Strand] says: Well, there's a dock with a boat down there -- I think some of you have seen it. So he thought, mmm, I'll just take the boat. |
| Athratir watches Strand intently |
| [Strand] says: When he got there, however, he saw men in hoods preparing the craft. His creditors? Maybe; can't be too careful, if you're a field mouse. So he scurried, herky jerky little mouse, back into the pumpkin fields. |
| Strand scuttles back, not quite tripping himself, and peers out from behind an imaginary pumpkin. |
| Luana smiles liking the story. |
| Sirithil giggles. |
| Syrinne mutters, "A field mouse with human creditors...." |
| Silanthos laughs. |
| Meris narrows her eyes, regarding Havyn carefully. |
| Dahla grins as she watches Strand, shaking her head. |
| Arahshiel smiles happily at Strand's rendition. |
| Norkdink makes a note never to loan money to small furry creatures |
| Syrinne mutters, "Well I guess they don't need henchmen to break your legs... one step.... squish." |
| Sirithil is makin similar notes. |
| Havyn lets a smirk spread across her face. |
| Norkdink points at Brown Prairie Dog. |
| [Norkdink] says: It's him! |
| Strand grins cheerfully. "They weren't, of course, anything to do with him. But you learn to be careful when you're a few inches tall." |
| [Norkdink] says: He owes people money! |
| Trinn starts laughing. |
| Sirithil giggles again. |
| Norkdink threatens Brown Prairie Dog with the wrath of doom. |
| [Strand] says: So Mellor came up with another plan. He thought to himself, 'I've seen these creatures at the river all the time. They have scaly skins.' |
| Suenya sniffs Brown Prairie Dog. |
| Strand makes a sound low in his throat, something like "Rgrlgrlgrlgrl." |
| Luana raises an eyebrow. |
| Norkdink ponders lighting the giant cat on fire |
| Sirithil begins to question the cleverness of the mouse. |
| Nim is pretty impressed by that imitation. |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| Dahla claps a hand to her mouth to cover a laugh. |
| Luana shisvers, not careing for Merlocs at all. |
| [Strand] says: Maybe, thought Mellor, I can sneak onto one of their legs and get across the river that way. |
| Athratir furrows his brow, watching Strand |
| Syrinne mumbles, "Oh Light... not murlocks." Cling to Sirithil. |
| Selariah looks over to Suenya, and whispers somewhat loudly. "Suenya, behave!" |
| Sirithil clings right back. She hates murlocs. |
| Kayentelva laughs. |
| [Strand] says: So he went down a little further, and crept up, creep creep creep... sneaky, for he's very clever... and lept! Onto a murloc's leg. |
| Alerac leans over to whisper to Meris before standing. |
| Suenya purrs innocently. |
| Strand shakes his head sadly. |
| Trinn winces a bit, covering her mouth. |
| [Strand] says: Murlocs have a good sense of smell. Did they notice the field mouse? |
| [Koryander] says: Murlocks are annoyin' little pests... |
| Strand glances around, expectant. |
| [Sirithil] says: ...yes? |
| [Luana] says: Poor mouse |
| [Norkdink] says: No! |
| Suenya nods at Strand. |
| [Trinn] says: No! |
| Havyn says nothing in reply to Meris only smiles slightly. |
| [Norkdink] says: Mayb! |
| Nim looks around first. |
| [Nim] says: No! |
| [Arahshiel] says: I hope not. |
| [Silanthos] says: He was all wet, drowned his smell! |
| Strand says very sadly, "Yes." |
| [Trinn] says: Drat. |
| [Nim] says: Oh... |
| Arahshiel agrees with Silanthos. |
| Athratir nods slowly |
| [Silanthos] says: Aww, nuts. |
| [Sirithil] says: Poor mouse. |
| [Dahla] says: Oh no. |
| [Norkdink] says: sucker mouse |
| [Luana] says: Ahhh..poor wee thing. |
| Syrinne grumbles, "Quit changing your mind." |
| Koryander grimaces "You get one murlock you seem to get every god damned murlock in existance on yer arse" |
| Strand 's smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "The details are not fit for company. But some weeks later, after he had healed..." |
| Dahla winces. |
| Sirithil winces. |
| [Strand] says: He came up with another plan. Mellor is clever, and stubborn, both. |
| Norkdink quietly snickers to himself. |
| Havyn moves to sit next to Meris. |
| Sirithil winces. |
| Silanthos mutters "How is this little thing still alive?" |
| [Strand] says: He had heard of a turtle, the biggest turtle in all of Elwynn Forest. |
| Suenya seems to daydream about rodents that cannot run away. |
| Strand shapes a huge turtle in the air with his hands. |
| Havyn speaks quietly. |
| Enzo stares Great Goretusk down. |
| Syrinne gives Sirithil a playful nibble on the neck as she gets comfortable. |
| [Strand] says: So Mellor went to find the turtle, to make a deal. "Turtle!" he said. "I would like to contract you for a ride to the other side of the river." |
| [Strand] says: Turtles and field mice speak the same language. |
| [Sirithil] says: Don't give him money, turtle! |
| [Darck] says: YOU JUST KILLED A RABBIT! |
| [Nim] says: That's coincedental. |
| [Silanthos] says: But of course. |
| [Darck] says: FIEND! |
| Luana hides a smile. |
| Trinn grins, whispering a Darnassian word under her breath. |
| Norkdink licks his lips |
| Strand shrugs. "Most people don't know that. The turtle said, slooooowly...." |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| Nim nods. |
| Kayentelva sighs |
| Dahla coughs and grins at Trinn. |
| Sirithil nibbles on Syrinne's ear a little as she cuddles. |
| [Strand] says: "I'll do it for free. I don't mind. Hop on my back." |
| [Sirithil] says: Lucky mouse. |
| [Darck] says: Do what? |
| [Koryander] says: Turtles make good soothing turtle bisque, specally turtles that eat mice... |
| Lydieen sits quietly on the tree trunck smiling. |
| [Strand] says: Mellor was a little surprised, but he didn't give the turtle time to change his mind. |
| Meris turns and looks levelly at Havyn. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: SHHHHH! |
| [Syrinne] says: Oh! So he's a free loader aswell as a slacker! |
| Fizzlepocket sits there, entranced by Strand's performance, much like the child he is.. |
| Enzo leans to his left a bit. |
| Strand mimes hopping up on a turtle's back. "Up! Went the field mouse. Cleverest field mouse. And the turtle began to swim." |
| [Strand] says: And swim. |
| [Strand] says: And swim. |
| [Dugald] says: Go Mellor! |
| Sirithil grins, enjoying the story. |
| Arahshiel watches Strand intently. |
| [Strand] says: Did the turtle wind up on the other side of the river? |
| [Sirithil] says: ...yes? |
| [Dahla] says: Uh oh. |
| [Norkdink] says: No! |
| Luana shakes her head no.. |
| [Koryander] says: oy, the darn river aint that big |
| [Silanthos] says: Yes? |
| Athratir watches Strand with grave interest |
| [Nim] says: 'm gonna guess, No. |
| Strand nods, very gravely. "No. He came to the shore again, actually, not far from here." |
| [Nim] says: The Murloc found him. |
| [Norkdink] says: He went to Stranglethorn! |
| [Kayentelva] says: oh no! |
| [Strand] says: And Mellor got off to find himself on the same side of the river he'd started on. |
| [Trinn] says: Drat. |
| Arahshiel sighs with disappointment. |
| Luana laughs at Strand. |
| [Sirithil] says: Well, here's farther than Duskwood. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| Norkdink thinks the mouse wasn't to clever if he couldn't find the bridge |
| [Strand] says: Now, one of the things about a clever field mouse -- you have to know when to give up. |
| Fizzlepocket claps his hands, laughing... |
| [Strand] says: This was about that time. So Mellor went home, to his wife, who is the most patient field mouse in the world. |
| [Silanthos] says: She would have to be... |
| [Alerac] says: Hmm? Yeah, just takin a nap. |
| Arahshiel giggles at Silanthos. |
| [Sirithil] says: Is this when the creditors drop by? |
| [Strand] says: Oh, she's a wonder. Too smart to let people tell stories about her. |
| Trinn laughs. |
| Havyn ignores Alerac. |
| [Strand] says: "Husband!" she said. "You had visitors, while you were out." |
| [Koryander] says: play a few card games with the creditors, ya? |
| Alerac grumbles about Havyn taking his seat. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Uh oh... |
| Sirithil waves at Niane. |
| [Strand] says: "Visitors," said Mellor. "Did they, um..." |
| Niane pats Nim on the head |
| Niane waves at Sirithil. |
| [Strand] says: "They wanted you," she said. "And I knew you were going to Duskwood. So I sent them off that way." |
| Sirithil laughs. |
| [Strand] says: Mellor stared at his wife for a moment, then laughed. Far away, in Duskwood, a trio of creditors sat on the far bank waiting for a mouse who would not come. |
| [Norkdink] says: Did they take the children and kill them? |
| [Norkdink] says: oh |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| Fizzlepocket applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| [Strand] says: And Mellor and his wife settled down for dinner. |
| Sirithil applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| Suenya lies down before Strand. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| Trinn applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Arahshiel applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| [Strand] says: That is the story of how Mellor avoided his creditors through no fault of his own. There are many Mellor stories, but that is the one I told tonight. |
| Koryander laughs. |
| Cuprifex excuses himself. |
| Kayentelva hails to Mellor |
| Niane claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Strand. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Brilliant! |
| Strand sweeps a bow, grinning, and heads back to his seat. |
| Dahla laughs and applauds. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well done, Strand. |
| Athratir claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Luana claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Fizzlepocket cheers at Strand! |
| Nim claps excitedly for Strand. |
| Suenya purrs at Strand. |
| Sirithil applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| Fizzlepocket applauds at Strand. Bravo! |
| [Strand] says: Thank you for keeping my place warm, Father. |
| Dwarda stands at attention and salutes. |
| Niane lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| Athratir nods |
| Koryander blinks at Great Goretusk. |
| [Ingarath] says: Who will rise next, in defense of art? Or something along those lines. |
| Niane says a prayer for Great Goretusk. |
| Dwarda applauds. Bravo! |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Kayentelva] says: take my seat |
| [Alerac] says: This is art? |
| [Luana] says: I will speak.. |
| Niane hugs Nim. |
| Nim smiles at Niane. |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Luana. |
| Ingarath eyes Alerac. "If it isn't...then please show me what is." |
| [Niane] says: Hello Nim |
| [Luana] says: Nice to be here everyone, my name is Luana Priestess of the Light. |
| Havyn laughs under her breath. |
| You smile at Luana. |
| Dahla glances over at the grumble, and grins at the pirate. |
| Nim greets Luana with a hearty hello! |
| Kayentelva smiles. |
| Trinn glances back at Cairoth curiously...then looks away very quickly. |
| [Luana] says: My story is of the elves, it was told to me by a dear Elvin friend... |
| Enzo stares at the man staring at the tree... |
| Arahshiel leans down and whispers to Strand. |
| Suenya sneaks in to lay on the warm ground by the fire. |
| Havyn hides a smile. |
| Suenya lies down before Luana. |
| Niane says a prayer for Great Goretusk. |
| [Luana] says: A young human male was born amoung the war, and lost his parents... |
| Fizzlepocket stares at Cairoth, confused.. |
| [Luana] says: A kindly female elf named Miska took him in and raised him as her own. |
| Koryander smiles. |
| [Cairoth] says: What the 'ell's goin' on over here? |
| Nim looks up at Luana, listening to the story. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Shhh! Storytelling night... |
| Ingarath whispers, "This is a story night, and we're listening." |
| Niane listens intently to Luana. |
| [Luana] says: The boy grew strong and gentle, a fierce protector of the lands he called home. |
| [Alerac] says: Ritualistic Sacrafice, Cairoth. |
| Syrinne had quietly dozed off cuddled into Sirithil. |
| [Cairoth] says: Storytelling, eh? Hrm. |
| Dahla gestures Cairoth over. "That thing you don't attend. Come sit." |
| [Cairoth] says: Piss to that, I need a drink. Back in a flash, luv. |
| Havyn nods slightly at Meris. |
| Sirithil gently strokes Syrinne's hair as she listens to the story. |
| [Alerac] says: Erm..Cairoth? |
| [Alerac] says: No booze . |
| [Luana] says: As it goes with most of our lands, we are attacked on a regular basis and we defend our homes. |
| Ingarath can't help but laugh. |
| [Luana] says: The young man now joined the other elves of his community to fend off the Horde... |
| Havyn shakes her head at Alerac. |
| Alerac grumbles a bit. |
| Cairoth slumps down into a sitting position, muttering. |
| Meris looks imploringly over to Alerac. |
| [Luana] says: After a fierce battle the young man was injured, not mortally but enough to keep him in fever for several days |
| [Cairoth] says: Stranglethorn fever? Cuz' that stuffs nasty as 'ell. In fact, I once ran into-- |
| Cairoth interrupts thoughtlessly. |
| [Luana] says: During that time he had dreams, in his heart he wishes to be of the people that raised him, an Elf.. |
| Enzo shoes the Goretusk away. |
| Cairoth shuts up. |
| Syrinne slept quietly in Sirithil's embrace, her immense age seemed to immit rather than show. |
| Havyn laughs under her breath |
| Enzo looks to his left. |
| [Luana] says: Elune as she often does heard the plea of this man and knew if was not far from deaths door he placed a blessing on him.. |
| Cairoth cant tell that Syrinne has immense age...maybe she should mention it again, arbitrarily. |
| [Luana] says: Excuse me she.. |
| Kayentelva wonders |
| [Silanthos] says: Well, she *is* a trickster goddess. |
| Havyn tightens her fist angrilly. |
| Luana nods softly.. |
| Syrinne was atually thinking of... nevermind. |
| Cairoth cant read minds! LOLZ! |
| [Luana] says: The young man died...and it is said an elf was born who grew into a Hunter for his people, and this Hunter..to this day ... |
| Havyn scoffs but does not finish her thought. |
| [Luana] says: says that he remembers when he was a human. |
| Cairoth rests his head in his hand. |
| Meris nods at Alerac. |
| [Luana] says: And Elune blessed him, We cannot give up hope, nor our dreams no matter what happens. Thank you.. |
| Cairoth appears to doze off momentarily before awakening with a start, snorting a little and looking around to make sure nobody had noticed. |
| Dugald applauds at Luana. Bravo! |
| Silanthos applauds at Luana. Bravo! |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| You clap excitedly for Luana. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you. |
| Suenya lies down before Cairoth. |
| Kayentelva seems very grateful |
| Syrinne seems old, her manner, stature and presence seem old for a human, though she does not look it. (( There, no minds needing to be read.... smartass. )) |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: A very good story! |
| Dahla applauds at Luana. Bravo! |
| Niane claps excitedly for Cairoth. |
| Niane claps excitedly for Luana. |
| Strand claps contentedly. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Luana. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Now... I have only been with you all, for a short while... |
| Cairoth gets his jabs in without use of OOC bubbles. Hooray! |
| Lydieen claps excitedly for Luana. |
| Arahshiel smiles at Luana and applauds. |
| Luana nods with a quite thank you. |
| [Dugald] says: no pun intended? |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: But, I've been working very hard on a poem... |
| Fizzlepocket stands up tall, clearing his throat... |
| Suenya 's ears perk up. |
| Havyn grins as the memory she whispered to Meris shows in her mind. |
| [Dugald] says: Let's hear it |
| Trinn looks over. |
| Strand watches the gnome, curious. |
| Luana listens to Fizzle |
| Niane listens intently to Fizzlepocket. |
| Nim looks to his left, a little surprised, before grinning at the gnome. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: "There once was a man, from the Western Strange, who used to make love..." (Gets tackled by Nim before he can continue further...) |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: GAH!! |
| Cairoth leans back, his years of experience showing through in the dim, poorly lit scene that doesn't center on him at all, though he feels the need to draw attention to himself with emotes about things nobody cares about. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: What was that for?! |
| Luana hides a laugh |
| Nim bonks Fizzlepocket on the noggin. Doh! |
| Dahla just blinks at the gnomes. |
| Niane bonks Nim on the noggin. Doh! |
| Cairoth coughs a little, looking around. |
| Ingarath makes a sizzle noise. |
| [Cairoth] says: Al. |
| [Nim] says: Can tell that one later! |
| Fizzlepocket glares at Nim... "I'm done..." |
| Cairoth calls out to Alerac lazily. |
| [Alerac] says: Eh? |
| Nim snorts. |
| [Cairoth] says: Meris... |
| [Meris] says: Yes Cairoth? |
| [Cairoth] says: I need a drink, luv. You always 'ave stuff. |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Nim. |
| Syrinne pays perfect attention to.. Cairoth.. despite not knoing him, and beoing asleep. |
| [Meris] says: Alright, Cair. |
| Strand says to himself, "I have six portions of hops." |
| [Cairoth] says: Tell me you've got somethin' on ya. |
| Syrinne is incidently, a terrible... typist(?). |
| [Alerac] says: Sorry man, gave my last flask to Meris. |
| Meris hands Cairoth some mead. |
| Cairoth smiles up to Meris. |
| Ingarath blinks, not believing Alerac. |
| [Cairoth] says: Yer an angel, luv. |
| [Cairoth] says: I owe ya. |
| Luana whispers to Dugald |
| [Cairoth] says: Right, so uh... |
| [Cairoth] says: This story thing open to everybody? |
| Havyn smooths the folds of her robe quietly. |
| Meris whispers back to Havyn. |
| [Ingarath] says: Absolutely. |
| [Cairoth] says: Or is it an exclusive type deal, eh? |
| [Sirithil] says: Absolutely anyone. |
| [Cairoth] says: Right. |
| Luana waves at Strand. |
| Dahla winces a bit, but nods at Cairoth. "Yes it is." |
| Dugald salutes Luana with respect. |
| Luana salutes Strand with respect. |
| Cairoth pushes himself to his feet. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: If it was an exclusive deal, I'd hardly have gotten as far as "Western Stand.." |
| Luana slips quietly out. |
| Nim looks as Cairoth stands, a look of fear crossing his face. |
| Alerac grins wickedly at Cairoth. |
| Kayentelva looks naively at the situation |
| Suenya lies down before Cairoth. |
| Havyn turns an angry eye on Meris. |
| Cairoth tilts his head back, draining one flask in one motion before tossing it off into the forest with a crash. |
| [Cairoth] says: Right. |
| Meris shrugs slightly at havyn, a bit taken aback by her reaction. |
| You listen intently to Cairoth. |
| [Cairoth] says: Well I've got a story, somethin' I'd like ta share with you all. |
| [Cairoth] says: Itsh a shtory about me best friend. |
| [Cairoth] says: Its somebody I've known since I was a small boy. |
| [Cairoth] says: Somebody whosh allllwaysh there fer me. |
| Cairoth gets a distant, nostalgic look. |
| [Cairoth] says: When I was just a wee shcrap, growin' up in Booty Bay... |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Here we go... |
| [Cairoth] says: Things were rough. |
| [Cairoth] says: Its a tough place fer a kid to come up, but you alwaysh find a way...savvy? ...hic! |
| [Cairoth] says: An' I'll tell ya... |
| Cairoth shlursh fairly heavily now. |
| [Cairoth] says: Through the good times, the bad times, an' the worse times... |
| Ingarath eyes Cairoth. |
| [Cairoth] says: My friend alwaysh gave me what I needed, never told me I wasn't good enough. |
| Niane listens intently to Cairoth. |
| Cairoth grunts a little ash the macaw beside him shquawksh noisily. He lazily swatsh at it, muttering "Shut up, Tapper! Bloody shod.." |
| Cairoth drainsh another flask and tosses it behind him onto the ground. |
| Cairoth shobsh a little, a few tearsh rolling down his cheek. ...hic! |
| [Cairoth] says: This friend... |
| [Cairoth] says: Was everythin' I coulda asked for, an' more. |
| [Cairoth] says: My companion through thick an' thin. Through long months at shea, steamy nightsh in port. |
| Silanthos raises an eyebrow at Cairoth |
| Cairoth pullsh another flask and holds it up high. |
| [Cairoth] says: The finest spiced rum in Azeroth! |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| [Silanthos] says: Ah...the point emerges. |
| Cairoth tilts hish head back and shlurps down the rum. |
| Cairoth shquints a little. ...hic! |
| You clap excitedly for Cairoth. |
| [Cairoth] says: Also this bird is pretty nice too. ...hic! |
| Meris glances over to Rook and smiles. |
| Ingarath smiles softly. |
| Dugald claps excitedly. |
| Havyn nods at Rook. |
| Cairoth jerks a thumb absently to the macaw. |
| Strand claps excitedly for Cairoth. |
| Dahla shakes her head with a sympathetic look at Tapper, clapping. |
| Alerac gives Cairoth a tearful standing ovation. |
| Edum sighs at Cairoth. |
| Arahshiel claps excitedly for Cairoth. |
| Nim looks between everyone gathered, before clapping slowly. |
| Sirithil rolls her eyes a little at the raving drunk. |
| [Ingarath] says: Good man, Alerac. |
| Cairoth sways a little, stumbling off away from the crowd, sheemingly having forgotten what was going on anyway. |
| Silanthos cheers at Cairoth! |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| Sirithil also waves Rook over. |
| Cairoth lies down. |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| [Silanthos] says: Good job, man. Now sleep it off. |
| [Ingarath] says: So...who will go next? |
| Meris grins wickedly at Cairoth. |
| Suenya falls asleep. Zzzzzzz. |
| Selariah reaches over and pets Suenya. |
| [Silanthos] says: Does anyone have a happy story? |
| Fizzlepocket walks up to Cairoth, with a bouquet of roses.. |
| [Meris] says: Booze isn't happy? |
| [Norkdink] says: I just killed Thristus, that's a happy story |
| Suenya snores lightly, contentedly. |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| [Dahla] says: Hmn. I have a story... |
| [Silanthos] says: Well.....it *is*... |
| Suenya seems to be purring in her sleep. |
| Trinn smiles at Dahla. |
| Strand looks over to Dahla, intrigued. |
| Kayentelva thinks there is no happy killing |
| [Silanthos] says: What?! Nork, why? |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Silanthos] says: He was our guest! |
| [Norkdink] says: He attacked some people |
| Syrinne yawns shifting a little, but not waking. |
| [Silanthos] says: ...oh |
| [Silanthos] says: Well, then. |
| [Norkdink] says: Yeah, he started it |
| [Koryander] says: Hmm, well, there ya go then I guess.. |
| Nim glances to his right at Dahla. |
| [Alerac] says: It's his fault, I guess. |
| Dahla stretches a bit as she stands, heading for the fire. |
| Fizzlepocket sighs, tossing the bouquet of roses onto Cairoth's passed out body.. |
| Khamael approaches with an odd, lurching gait to his step. His entire frame shakes as a hacking cough wretches it's way from his withered form. For a moment his eyes briefly roll back inro his skull before snapping back into place. |
| Niane listens intently to Dahla. |
| Silanthos asks Dahla to wait. |
| Dahla eyes the story... semicircle, before nodding at Silanthos. |
| Havyn turns an angry glare on Meris, stuggling to keep her voice a whisper |
| [Silanthos] says: Sorry 'bout that |
| [Silanthos] says: By all means... |
| Meris does her best to ignore Dahla entirely, focusing on her conversation with Havyn |
| [Niane] says: Rook not again! |
| [Dahla] says: This is, of course, another story of my friend, the Priest. He had many adventures before he ever came to Stormwind, of course, but he's had quite a few there, as well. |
| [Rook] says: Whit did ye espect! Damn, lass... |
| Cairoth stands, striding through the middle of the group. |
| Niane says a prayer for Great Goretusk. |
| [Dahla] says: By the time he'd reached Stormwind, his hair had started to grey, but that never lessened his zeal for adventure when it called. Not too long ago, I'm sure many -- er, some -- participated in Children's Week. |
| Meris watches Cairoth bemusedly. |
| Havyn growls angrilly under her breath |
| Syrinne shifts once again in her sleep, seeming frail and old despite her youthful looks - which is what was earlier failed to be described. |
| Cairoth brings up thingsh that were over ten minutes ago and nobody cared about in the first place. |
| Strand pulls his legs up to his chest, listening to Dahla. |
| [Dahla] says: Well, I've heard stories of people taking Orphans to see three of the great wonders of the world. But this little boy my friend took under his wing... he wanted to see the Fourth. |
| Cairoth shlumps down. |
| Syrinne listens intently to Cairoth, loving classic.s |
| [Dahla] says: That's right. He wanted to see the Great Golden Ape of Stranglethorn. |
| Cairoth doesn't understand what that means, but okay. |
| Ingarath whispers, "The....the..." |
| [Silanthos] says: Ack... |
| Ingarath smiles at Dahla, intrigued. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: My god! |
| Sirithil gets just about fed up with people's inability to keep their OOC problems OOC. |
| Strand cocks an eyebrow, looking obscurely pleased. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: He's a mad man! A maaaad man! |
| Rook nudges Alerac. |
| Niane says a prayer for Great Goretusk. |
| Trinn nods at Dahla, smiling. |
| Alerac glances up at Rook. |
| Dahla nods sagely. "That's right. And my friend, the priest, happened to know just where the Great Golden Ape was." |
| Fizzlepocket gasps at Dahla. |
| Syrinne starts awake, "Light... no... not that.. huh... oh... we still here? Very well then." |
| Havyn shifts angrilly. |
| Cairoth thinksh its great that people can't let things go. |
| Cairoth doesn't want to hijack Dahla's story, so hes shutting up. |
| [Dahla] says: So he said, "All right, Robbie... I'll take you to see the Great Golden Ape of Stranglethorn. But you have to make me one very, very important promise. |
| Havyn glances at Rook. |
| Dahla shakes her finger, tone reminiscent of her friend's. "You must NOT touch the Great Golden Ape." |
| Havyn turns her glare back on Meris as she speaks. |
| [Dahla] says: "Sure," said Robbie. "No, no, you don't understand. This is SO IMPORTANT, Robbie! You must NOT touch the Great Golden Ape." |
| Syrinne glances around bleary eyed before leaning down and snuggling back into Sirithil, quickly - once again - snoozing. |
| Rook whispers something into her hand, opening her fingers to the breeze. |
| Overmaen kneels, his fingers sorting through the blades of grass, his lips moving as if counting. |
| [Dahla] says: "All right, all right! I promise!", said the young boy. After all, he really, really wanted to see the Great Golden Ape. |
| Cairoth speaks - with - hyphens! |
| Nim picks at the grass idly, |
| Rook points at Rabbit. |
| Strand stifles a chuckle with his hand. |
| Edum sighs softly as he smoothly stands and walks to kneel beside Sirithil and Syrinne, leaning in to whisper. |
| Edum kneels before Cairoth. |
| Trinn smiles at Dahla. |
| Syrinne once again, starts awake, looking up to the man, giving him a nod before falling back asleep. |
| [Dahla] says: Well, satisfied, off they went. Of course, they have to cross the river between Duskwood and Stranglethorn. As they reached the bridge, my friend turned and said, "All right. Look. Before we go any further, I want you to promise me..." |
| [Dahla] says: DON'T touch the Great Golden Ape! |
| Fizzlepocket fidgets. And breathes. He has a slightly running nose, and his toes are itchy. Probably ants. |
| Strand cranes his neck to see around the horse. |
| Nydedrigan apologizes to everyone. Sorry! |
| [Dahla] says: Robbie shook his head and said, "Okay! Okay! I won't touch the ape! I want to see it! Let's go!" |
| Thristus makes a rude gesture at Nydedrigan. |
| [Dahla] says: And so into Stranglethorn they went. They fought off tigers and giant crocolisks, plunging ever deeper into the savage jungle. |
| Thristus makes a rude gesture at Nydedrigan. |
| Thristus smiles at Kayentelva. |
| Cairoth looks over to Thristus, lazily. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: ? |
| [Cairoth] says: You don't look so good, mate. |
| Thristus makes a rude gesture at Nydedrigan. |
| Thristus makes a rude gesture at Nydedrigan. |
| [Dahla] says: They finally approached the mouth of a cave, hidden otherwise by vines and creepers until my friend pushed them aside. |
| Thristus loves Kayentelva. |
| Silanthos gulps loudly |
| Kayentelva asks Thristus to not disturb this place. |
| [Dahla] says: But in the entrance to the cave, he paused, and said... "Look, Robbie. This is SO important. PROMISE me..." |
| [Nydedrigan] says: >: |
| Dahla waits... |
| Strand bounces a little. |
| Nydedrigan pokes Thristus. Hey! |
| Nydedrigan shoos Thristus away. Be gone pest! |
| [Silanthos] says: Don't touch the ape? |
| Thristus cries on Nydedrigan's shoulder. |
| Thristus cries on Nydedrigan's shoulder. |
| Nydedrigan laughs at Thristus. |
| Trinn starts laughing. "Don't touch the great, golden ape!" |
| [Strand] says: Don't, don't, don't touch the ape! |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Fizzlepocket fidgets, getting very, very anxious.. |
| Selariah eyes Thristus up and down. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Come on! What happened?! |
| Suenya awakes with a start at the unusual smell. |
| Koryander waves at Thristus. |
| Rook nods at Thristus. |
| Thristus bites Alerac. Ouch! |
| Enzo is scared of Thristus. |
| Thristus salutes Meris with respect. |
| Thristus bows before Meris. |
| Rook waves at Thristus. |
| Thristus cries on Meris's shoulder. |
| Meris nods at Thristus. |
| Dahla grins at the folks who spoke up, nodding." "Okaaaaaay," said Robbie." |
| Koryander lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| Niane lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Dahla] says: So into the dark cave they went. |
| Nim glances at the forsaken before looking back to Dahla, trying his best to listen to the story. |
| Koryander smiles at Dahla. |
| Thristus growls menacingly at Nydedrigan. |
| Havyn shivers... |
| Kayentelva gasps |
| [Dahla] says: Moisture dripped down from rocks that hung like daggers from the ceiling, and it was deathly cold as the cave's floor slanted downwards. They walked for hours, it seemed, until they came to a rope bridge across a deep crevice. |
| Devi waves at you. |
| Ingarath smiles at Devi. |
| Wren waves at you. |
| Devi blinks at Dahla. |
| [Dahla] says: My friend put one foot on the old planking, before turning. "I really hope you understand how important this is, Robbie. I'm going to make you PROMISE me --" |
| Ingarath smiles genuinely, waving back to Wren. |
| Dugald listens with interest |
| [Silanthos] says: DON'T TOUCH THE GREAT GOLDEN APE! |
| Rook frowns with disappointment at Thristus. |
| Dahla winks slyly at Silanthos. |
| Thristus is hungry. Maybe Rook has some food... |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: DON'T TOUCH THE FLIPPIN GREAT GOLDEN APE, YA BRAT! |
| Rook tells Thristus NO. Not going to happen. |
| Strand chortles happily. |
| Thristus frowns with disappointment at Rook. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: what ape? |
| Rook sighs at Thristus. |
| [Trinn] says: Great golden ape! |
| Thristus introduces himself to Rook. |
| [Dahla] says: "OKAY OKAY!", said Robbie. "I won't touch the stupid monkey! I promise!" |
| Havyn shrugs slightly at Meris |
| Trinn looks back to Dahla. |
| [Silanthos] says: He is *so* going to touch it... |
| [Dahla] says: So across the rickety, groaning bridge they carefully went. |
| Cairoth is staring at the Forsaken. |
| Suenya is hungry. Maybe Selariah has some food... |
| [Dahla] says: They descended deeper into the tunnel system beneath the caves, and finally came to a huge underground lake. It was so vast, Robbie couldn't see to the other side. |
| Selariah gives Suenya a fish. |
| [Dahla] says: And in the middle... something glowed. |
| [Dahla] says: So the two of them got into a small boat tied up right by the mouth of the cave. |
| Fizzlepocket leans in, completely taken in by the story at this point.. |
| [Dahla] says: And as my friend paddled them across, he paused, and insisted, one last time... |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: DON'T TOUCH THE GOLDEN APE! |
| [Silanthos] says: WHAT HE SAID. |
| Dahla grins wickedly at Fizzlepocket. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Suenya purrs happily while munching on the slimy yellowtail. |
| [Alerac] says: If you fuckin touch the ape, I'll cut off your fuckin fingers. |
| Nydedrigan lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| Trinn blinks at Alerac. |
| [Dahla] says: Naw, he was a priest, Al. |
| Havyn frowns as if unhappy with that. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: what ape |
| Ingarath mumbles, "That's what I love about you, Alerac. Always so eloquent." |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: He would have said "Fraggin." |
| [Alerac] says: Bah. I woulda..shaddup, man. |
| You grin wickedly at Alerac. |
| [Dahla] says: He would have used a mace. |
| Strand completely doubles over, body shaking. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Or "Fuggin." |
| Trinn looks to Nydedrigan. "The great GOLDEN ape." |
| [Alerac] says: Figgin? |
| [Dahla] says: So Robbie promised, crossed his heart, PROMISED not to touch the Great Glden Ape. |
| Thristus laughs at Coober. |
| [Silanthos] says: This kid is doomed. |
| Nydedrigan yawns sleepily. |
| Nydedrigan falls asleep. Zzzzzzz. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: He's an orphan. No one will notice. |
| Suenya lies down before Selariah. |
| Strand sits back up again, making helpless snorting sounds, and listens. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Come on! Tell us what happens! |
| Cairoth will be right back. Sit tight, Thristus. |
| [Dahla] says: And they landed the boat in a small island, filled with palm trees, lit by a shaft of sunlight streaming in from miles above. |
| [Dahla] says: And my friend stayed with the boat, as Robbie crept onto the island. |
| Havyn grins. |
| Silanthos can feel the doom. |
| [Dahla] says: Slowly, he approached... and heard a deep rumble. |
| Devi thanks Alerac. |
| Kayentelva is holding her breath |
| [Silanthos] says: ...and? And? AND? |
| [Dahla] says: It was... the biggest gorilla he'd ever seen. Not that he'd seen many, mind you, as an orpan and a young boy. |
| Nydedrigan laughs. |
| Fizzlepocket has been holding his breath, his face a grime purple... |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Did he touch it?! |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: DId he touch the Great Golden Ape? |
| [Dahla] says: But it was HUGE! Bigger than a man, bigger than two men standing on each other's shoulders. Three times as wide. And it just... glistened, in the sunlight, his fur a lush gold. |
| Thristus makes a rude gesture at Aluinon. |
| [Nim] says: He's gonna touch it... |
| Havyn grins wickedly at Meris. |
| [Dahla] says: And Robbie slowly stepped closer... enthralled by the Great Golden Ape. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Don't touch it, you stupid punk! |
| [Niane] says: Aye that he is |
| [Silanthos] says: TOUCH IT |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: No! |
| Niane listens intently to Dahla. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Don't! |
| [Cairoth] says: ((NOBODY IS TO TOUCH THRISTUS, PLEASE. NOBODY. Sorry to interrupt, but I need that out there so you all know.)) |
| [Silanthos] says: TOUCH IT LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW |
| Dahla tries not to grin at everyone speaking. "And he reached out with one hand, enraptured by the softest-looking fur he'd ever seen, as the gorilla stood placidly." |
| Ingarath winces. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: Hehe, dont tell me to dont touch him. I might just welll... He is after all in the alliance lands. I am just being nice at the moment i am interested in this story. |
| Thristus gazes eagerly at Kayentelva. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Nooo! |
| Trinn covers her mouth with her hands. |
| [Alerac] says: Fuckin ell. That kid suciks. |
| Havyn nods slightly |
| Silanthos holds his breath. |
| [Dahla] says: And... he pet it. It was the softest thing he'd ever felt. Softer than rabbit's fur. Softer than a cat-changed druid's fur. Softer than shadowcat hide. |
| Strand bites his lower lip. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: YOU STUPID BRAT! |
| [Nim] says: Why'd he touch it?! |
| Thristus is listening! |
| [Silanthos] says: I knew it! |
| Kayentelva puts her hand's on Thristus's shoulder |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: What happened next?! |
| [Trinn] says: Drat. |
| [Dahla] says: Then all of a sudden -- the Great Golden Ape let out a FEROCIOUS ROAR! |
| Arahshiel shakes her head. |
| Syrinne stirs a little in her sleep, but doesn't wake. |
| Trinn jumps a bit. |
| Devi grins. |
| Strand rocks back where he sits. |
| [Uwe] says: Sheesh... gnomes are so paranoid. |
| [Dahla] says: And Robbie screamed, and jumped back, and ran for the boat! |
| [Nydedrigan] says: Okay, i wont touch him for now. |
| Nim thinks Dahla should simulate the roar. |
| Koryander giggles and smiles at Dahla |
| Thristus growls menacingly at Aluinon. |
| Meris looks with concern to Havyn. |
| Dahla thinks it's a stupid human noise, honestly. |
| Rook makes a mocking face at Rabbit, winking in Niane's direction. |
| Kayentelva greets Thristus with a warm welcome |
| Fizzlepocket pokes the scum between his toes, and then pokes his belly button, picking at lint. He scratches himself, still very excited about the story. |
| [Dahla] says: My friend was there, yelling, "You didn't! Look what you've done! HURRY! Get in the boat!" |
| Havyn shrugs slightly |
| Nim looks over at Fizzle and edges a bit away from him. |
| [Dahla] says: And they paddled for all they were worth across the lake... but the Great Golden Ape was FOLLOWING them. |
| Rook growls menacingly at Rabbit. |
| [Silanthos] says: ! |
| Fizzlepocket jumps up.. |
| Wren gasps |
| Strand murmurs, "Ooooooh." |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: TOSS THE KID INTO THE WATER! |
| [Dahla] says: They charged through the winding tunnels upward, barely looking twice at the rickety rope bridge... but the Great Golden Ape was STILL there! |
| [Rook] says: Ah'll be back. |
| [Alerac] says: It's the kid he wants! Stupid soddin brat. |
| Cairoth asks Thristus to wait. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Trip him! |
| Cairoth smiles. |
| [Dahla] says: It's roars shook the caverns as they dashed for the mouth of the cave, my friend picking Robbie up when his little legs faltered, and tore through the jungles. |
| [Dahla] says: They outran the tigers. They outran the crocolisks. But... they couldn't seem to shake the Great Golden Ape. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: man you type fast or you have this on macros lol |
| [Dahla] says: They charged across the bridge into Duskwood -- but the Great Golden Ape was STILL following! He seemed to be lagging behind a bit, especially as they took a shortcut through Raven Hill and my friend shackled a few ghouls right in the Great Golden Ape's.. |
| Kayentelva gives a five to Thristus |
| [Dahla] says: ... path. |
| [Dahla] says: Home to Stormwind they ran... and the Great Golden Ape was nowhere to be seen. Laughing with fear and exhaustion, they returned to the orphanage, spent and relieved to have made it out alive. |
| Cairoth sneaks a few swigs of rum from a hidden flask. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Dammit! |
| Suenya is so excited by the story she bursts into her natural form. |
| [Dahla] says: But... as my friend and Robbie finally turned to say goodbye, as it was time for Robbie to be back with the orphanage... |
| [Dahla] says: ... Robbie heard a growl. |
| Coober kneels down. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Oh no... |
| [Silanthos] says: Here it comes... |
| [Dahla] says: And a giant, golden hand clapped down on his shoulder from behind. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Please tell me it was gory. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: YES! |
| Havyn nods slightly looking thoughtful |
| Strand mock-gasps, happily. |
| Kitria snickers at Fizzlepocket. |
| Lydieen smiles and mumbles lightly under his breath, "and they wonder why I hate monkeys." |
| Niane tries to calm Fizzlepocket down. |
| [Silanthos] says: The kid was warned.... |
| Dahla scans the semi-circle, face set in a frown. "And the Great Golden Ape snarled, and said in a deep, booming voice..." |
| [Dahla] says: Tag. |
| Havyn looks to Rook questioningly. |
| [Overmaen] says: How did the ape make it into Stormwind unmolested? |
| [Silanthos] says: AHAHAHAHAHA |
| Silanthos laughs. |
| Enzo claps half heartedly, clearly unimpressed. |
| Sirithil laughs at Dahla. |
| Arahshiel cackles maniacally at Dahla. |
| Thristus laughs. |
| Nydedrigan laughs. |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| Edum laughs at Dahla. |
| Niane lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| Devi giggles. |
| Uwe laughs. |
| Devi claps excitedly. |
| Nydedrigan laughs. |
| Thristus cries. |
| Alerac chuckles to himself a bit. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| Arahshiel claps excitedly for Dahla. |
| Niane cheers at Dahla! |
| You clap excitedly for Dahla. |
| Silanthos claps excitedly. |

| [Silanthos] says: Fantastic! |
| Niane claps excitedly for Dahla. |
| Kayentelva cheers! |
| Dugald claps excitedly. |
| Nydedrigan cheers! |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly. |
| Koryander claps excitedly. |
| Cairoth smiles. |
| Fizzlepocket lavishes praise upon Dahla. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you for sharing, Dahla! |
| Coober is hopelessly confused. |
| Syrinne lets out a choked snort, but otherwise sleeps through the applause. |
| Thristus bites Alerac. Ouch! |
| Enzo stares Thristus down. |
| Meris smirks slyly at Thristus. |
| Thristus hugs Alerac. |
| Nim waves at Thristus. |
| Thristus nods at Nim. |
| Havyn stands quietly and approaches Rook. |
| Thristus thanks Nim. |
| Nim waves goodbye to Thristus. Farewell! |
| Fizzlepocket stares at Syrinne, who is sleeping and looking old, yet oddly beautiful. Fizzlepocket scrambles through his bag, searching for it... he finds it, and pulls it out.. |
| Cairoth shrieks. |
| Ingarath looks up. |
| Kayentelva waves goodbye to Thristus. Farewell! |
| Coober points at Thristus. |
| Coober claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Meris points at Thristus. |
| [Cairoth] says: LITTLE BUGGER! |
| Thristus bursts into dance. |
| Koryander blinks at Thristus. |
| Nim bows down graciously. |
| Havyn speaks quietly |
| Thristus smiles. |
| Arahshiel waves goodbye to Silanthos. Farewell! |
| Koryander giggles at Thristus. |
| [Ingarath] says: Would anyone else like to share with us? |
| Cairoth shrieks, firing a drunken shot. |
| Thristus bows down graciously. |
| Koryander cheers at Thristus! |
| Fizzlepocket holds up a can to Syrinne's sleeping ear, and presses down on the button, emitting a GHASTLY loud noise right near her ear.. |
| [Enzo] says: I'd like to hear the story of the dead thing that is amoung us. |
| Enzo points at Thristus. |
| Cairoth cackles. |
| Fizzlepocket puts his foghorn away, and sits back down. |
| Thristus smiles at Cairoth. |
| [Ingarath] says: I am not sure we have ears to hear it, friend. |
| [Enzo] says: Are there any that know that tale? |
| Sirithil slaps away Fizzle's hand before he does so. "Naughty gnome." |
| Rook apologizes to everyone. Sorry! |
| Rook points at Great Goretusk. |
| Kayentelva seems disappointed at the situation |
| Thristus smiles at Rook. |
| Thristus hugs Rook. |
| Syrinne eyes snap open and she shrieks! "Whoooossssaat! I'm under attack! Calll the cards! Orcs, trolls! TAUREN even!" |
| [Cairoth] says: Right! I've got another story! |
| [Alerac] says: so...no other stories? |
| Syrinne blinks. |
| [Ingarath] says: Khamael? You had something to share? |
| Ingarath looks around. |
| Koryander stretches |
| Khamael quietly snickers to himself. |
| Thristus asks you to wait. |
| Fizzlepocket glances at Syrinne.. |
| Khamael laughs. |
| Thristus asks you to wait. |
| Thristus is listening! |
| Thristus asks you to wait. |
| Cairoth clears his throat. |
| Thristus thanks everyone. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Please stop being rude... I can barely hear you over that horrid snoring. |
| Syrinne grips her heart and blinks. Gasping for breath. "Wh-what happened?" |
| Rook whispers across to Ingarath. |
| Fizzlepocket sits down... |
| Devi grins wickedly at Thristus. |
| Trinn looks up at the sky. |
| Koryander cheers! |
| [Sirithil] says: A naughty gnome, dear. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: Hear the story teller, I mean.. |
| Coober points over yonder. |
| Coober claps excitedly. |
| Thristus feels the love. |
| Nim cheers at Thristus! |

| Rook cheers at Thristus! |
| Niane cheers at Thristus! |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| [Ingarath] says: ....Undead fireworks. |
| [Khamael] says: It would appear, as if the stage is taken, no? |
| Thristus cheers! |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Arahshiel cheers! |
| Strand looks up. "Ohh..." |
| Trinn nods, grinning. |
| Sirithil applauds at Thristus. Bravo! |
| [Koryander] says: basicly, hehe |
| Kayentelva cheers at Thristus! |
| You clap excitedly for Thristus. |
| [Alerac] says: I'd help out, but I'd burn hte poor undead guy. |
| [Coober] says: Pretty! |
| [Syrinne] says: I... huh? Snore? Oh... uhh... I don't snore thankyou.... |
| [Nydedrigan] says: lol! |
| [Nydedrigan] says: Burn!! |
| Nim claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: You sure? |
| Koryander cheers at Thristus! |
| Thristus ponders the situation. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: It's a very nasal sound. |
| [Meris] says: Showoff. |
| Cairoth applauds at Thristus. Bravo! |
| Edum claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Kitria claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Thristus smiles. |
| Trinn applauds. Bravo! |
| Strand grins, despite himself; pauses a moment, then applauds. |
| Dahla grins wickedly at Thristus. |
| Thristus gazes off into the distance. |
| Syrinne rubs her ear, it was still ringing, she tried to settle, but was rather jumpy now. |
| Dwarda applauds. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: Alrighty then. |
| Rook lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| Koryander applauds at Thristus. Bravo! |
| Rook applauds at Thristus. Bravo! |
| Thristus smiles. |
| [Sirithil] says: It beats his contribution from last week. I couldn't understand a word of it. |
| Cairoth applauds. Bravo! |
| Devi nods at Thristus. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Thristus. |
| Nim cheers at Thristus! |
| Thristus thanks everyone. |
| Thristus thanks everyone. |
| Dwarda applauds. Bravo! |
| Lydieen continus to sit quietly watching the little gathering. |
| [Fizzlepocket] says: It's kinda like, a rabid boar molesting one of those prowlers in Elywynn Forest... |
| [Koryander] says: haha, I enjoyed it |
| Devi smiles at Thristus. |
| [Uwe] says: So is this some ceremonial mating dance of the Forsaken? |
| Thristus stands at attention and salutes. |
| You laugh at Uwe. |
| [Uwe] says: Fascinating. |
| Trinn scooches away from Fizzle, a bit. |
| Sirithil glares meaningfully at Fizzle. |
| Suenya purrs at Thristus. |
| Kayentelva laughs. |
| [Koryander] says: nah, I think the lads tryin to have a good time |
| Thristus laughs. |
| [Dwarda] says: lol |
| Suenya lies down before Thristus. |
| Thristus tickles Suenya. Hee hee! |
| Cairoth clears his throat. |
| Syrinne was blushing terribly, looking panic and rather teary eyed. |
| Suenya notices that Thristus is not warm as the others and wanders off. |
| Fizzlepocket makes a loud, disgusting snorting sound... "GNDSFOGNNNNGGGGGGGG!" Like that! |
| [Cairoth] says: So I've got one more story to share with you folks. |
| [Cairoth] says: An' its a short one. |
| Thristus cries out for help! |
| Thristus tells Suenya NO. Not going to happen. |
| [Alerac] says: You sure you're drunk enough? |
| Suenya lies down before Thristus. |
| Thristus smiles at Suenya. |
| Fizzlepocket diverts his attention to Cairoth... |
| Ingarath eyes Cairoth. "Someone else is before you." |
| Cairoth grunts a little, irritable from the sobriety. |
| [Cairoth] says: Oh. |
| [Cairoth] says: Well where is the wanker? I don't see anybody in 'ere. |
| Thristus points at Nim. |
| Ingarath opens his mouth, closes it, thinking better of it, and looks to Khamael. |
| Nim points at Thristus. |
| Thristus nods at Nim. |
| Cairoth looks around. |
| Khamael nods at Cairoth. |
| Thristus asks Great Goretusk to wait. |
| Thristus is hungry. Maybe Great Goretusk has some food... |
| Thristus nods at Nim. |
| Cairoth catches sight of Khamael and calls out. |
| [Cairoth] says: Yer up, mate. |
| Thristus laughs at Nim. |
| Thristus laughs at Nim. |
| Thristus laughs at Nim. |
| Syrinne buried her facein Sirithil's shoulder, trying to get back to sleep. |
| Koryander laughs. |
| Khamael quietly snickers to himself. |
| Thristus vetoes Nim's motion. |
| Khamael approaches with an odd, lurching gait to his step. His entire frame shakes as a hacking cough wretches it's way from his withered form. For a moment his eyes briefly roll back inro his skull before snapping back into place. |
| Thristus claps excitedly for Nim. |
| Nim frowns with disappointment at Thristus. |
| [Koryander] says: easy now |
| Thristus claps excitedly for Nim. |
| Thristus cheers at Nim! |
| Khamael slowly walks toward the campfite, his steps odd and lurching. For a moment, his eyes snap back into his skull before slowly rolling back into view, his pupils shrunken far to small. With a hacking wheeze, he clears his throat of so much mucus. |
| Thristus remains calm. |
| Koryander ponders the situation. |
| Ingarath eyes Khamael. |
| Koryander hugs Thristus. |
| Thristus smiles at Koryander. |
| Niane gently pats Nim. |
| Thristus asks Koryander to wait. |
| Fizzlepocket winces... |
| Meris watches Khamael warily. ...hic! |
| Nim hugs Thristus. |
| Thristus asks Koryander to wait. |
| Thristus beckons Koryander over. |
| Coober mumbles under his breath. |
| [Khamael] says: Dear...friends. Yes, friends indeed. |
| Khamael cackles maniacally at the situation. |
| [Khamael] says: Dear friends, do you ever wonder? Ever wonder? Shake the bonds of logical and reason from your too constrained minds? If only to ponder. If only to guess and assume? |
| Khamael quietly snickers to himself. |
| Thristus beckons Koryander over. |
| Lydieen hops down the trunk he was sitting on. |
| Koryander blinks. |
| Thristus hugs Koryander. |
| Koryander cheers at Thristus! |
| Thristus blushes at Koryander. |
| Koryander giggles. |
| Havyn mutters angrilly under her breath. |
| [Khamael] says: Of course you do. |
| Khamael scans the crowd, slightly skewed eyes never meeting anyone's stare. |
| [Khamael] says: Of course, of course, of course! |
| Khamael quietly snickers to himself. |
| [Khamael] says: But WHAT friend?! What do you ponder? |
| Cairoth watches the sickly man quietly, brow furrowed. |
| Thristus cheers at Khamael! |
| Thristus listens intently to Khamael. |
| Ingarath raises an eyebrow, looking towards Khamael. |
| Nim waves at Dugald. |
| Khamael shudders and convulses , his body snapping forward as if to force his head between his legs. His speech, though it had become twisted and deep, did not cease even now as he throbbed and shook while clutching his stomach. |
| Overmaen looks up at Khamael and stops counting. |
| Lydieen sits close to Trinn, Dahla, and Strand. |
| Syrinne clung to Sirithil, still hiding her face. |
| [Khamael] says: ...dO yoU ev- |
| Khamael squeezes his eyes shut, his form shaking even harder. |
| [Khamael] says: ...ever question...death? |
| Khamael laughs. |
| Nim watches Khamael, a bit concerned. |
| Khamael laughs at Great Goretusk. |
| [Khamael] says: And a brilliant example... |
| Devi grimaces. |
| [Cairoth] says: Talk straight, you bloody Naga-tongued wanker. You don't make any bleedin' sense. |
| Arahshiel seems disturbed by the topic of death. |
| Rook 's face wavers. |
| Cairoth mutters, scratching at his beard. |
| Overmaen nods attentively. |
| Khamael slowly stand erect once more. |
| [Khamael] says: If you do, my dear, dear friends...do so with caution. |
| Khamael smiles. |
| [Khamael] says: But permit me to share my views and ideas with you, my friends. |
| Coober looks uneasy. |
| Meris holds her hand up to her mouth in a shushing gesture to Cairoth. |
| Dwarda applauds. Bravo! |
| Niane hugs Nim. |
| Thristus thanks Dwarda. |
| [Khamael] says: Tales and legends abound...as you all know. |
| [Khamael] says: Tales of glory...tales of power..tales of wealth. Indeed...they draw us all. |
| Khamael looks about once more. |
| Thristus salutes Khamael with respect. |
| Thristus is listening! |
| Thristus points at Coober. |
| [Khamael] says: Surely adventure calls to even a few of you through these stories and parables... |
| Thristus begs everyone around him. How pathetic. |
| Thristus points at Coober. |
| Thristus begs everyone around him. How pathetic. |
| Coober points over yonder. |
| Thristus begs Coober. How pathetic. |
| Thristus is hungry. Maybe Coober has some food... |
| Arahshiel listens intently to Khamael. |
| Nim shoos Thristus away. Be gone pest! |
| Overmaen shoos Thristus away. Be gone pest! |
| [Khamael] says: But behind these tories of grandeur... |
| Koryander frowns. |
| Thristus frowns. |
| Thristus motions for Koryander to follow. |
| [Khamael] says: Behind these...puffed up tales of idiocy that kings and their scholars have inflated to a point to be unrecognizable even to those who lived them... |
| Havyn nods at Rook |
| [Khamael] says: Behind these veils...lies one thing. |
| Khamael cackles maniacally at the situation. |
| [Khamael] says: Truth. |
| Kitria lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Khamael] says: Permit your humble servant to tell a tale of the old world. A tale of what came and passed in all of its glory. |
| Fizzlepocket elbows Dugald. |
| [Dwarda] says: The horde killed the human! |
| Strand starts, alarmed, and frowns. |
| [Cairoth] says: Oi, piss off. The zombie's alright by me. |
| [Khamael] says: A tale of the Troll-kind. |
| Devi blinks in confusion. |
| Strand shifts over, with a frown. |
| Rook applauds at Cairoth. Bravo! |
| Overmaen 's left hand begins moving across his thigh as if he's writing. |
| [Khamael] says: Long ago in forest dense and dank lurked the mightiest of kingdoms, some would say. |
| Edum has left the raid group |
| [Khamael] says: Not the elves, I'm sure. |
| Strand looks up suddenly, attention caught. |
| Alerac looks up, startled, and whispers a bit to Meris. |
| You listen intently to Khamael. |
| [Khamael] says: Within this kingdom was king and queen. Followers and leaders. |
| Devi blinks at Enzo. |
| [Khamael] says: And yet, this place was plagued. |
| [Khamael] says: Plagued and bewitched. |
| Rook sends her saber off into the earth. |
| Devi watches the body of the fallen, looking for a sign that the cables had worked. |
| [Khamael] says: Close your eyes a moment and stretch out, if you will to realize this basic fact. |
| Nim lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Khamael] says: For as long as the monument of good has existed, the shadow of evil has indeed lurked, created by its rays. |
| Strand frowns, tapping his fingers on his leg, absently. |
| Cairoth stands, irreverantly declaring: |
| [Cairoth] says: I need a piss! |
| Cairoth wanders off. |
| [Khamael] says: Cursed was this kingdom by a powerful hex. One placed by ancient witch doctors. I assure you, the history is meaningless. |
| Suenya disappears leaving only a grin. |
| [Khamael] says: Upon the falling of each eve- |
| Khamael coughs loudly once more, his vision blurring as he catches sight of the fire. |
| Suenya lies down. |
| Selariah yawns. |
| [Khamael] says: Each eve, those in the kingdom would lose all control. Their minds would rot... |
| Kayentelva sighs |
| Fizzlepocket salutes Dugald with respect. |
| Coober looks confused. |
| Devi sighs in relief. |
| Dugald salutes Fizzlepocket with respect. |
| Ingarath frowns at Khamael. |
| Kitria smiles faintly. |
| [Coober] says: what happened? |
| [Khamael] says: And each night they would spread to the surrounding villages to feast upon their neighbors. |
| Suenya lies down. |
| [Nydedrigan] says: You felt like taking a snap |
| [Nydedrigan] says: coober |
| Kitria mutters, trying not interrupt, "Trouble makers, as usual..." |
| [Khamael] says: Illusion cloaked them by night and none said word during the day. But every night, still these horrible forms of writhing mass would descend. |
| Coober scratches his head. |
| [Khamael] says: Until, that is...the king called his champion forth. |
| [Khamael] says: To'Lami was not a champion for his virtue. |
| [Khamael] says: He was not respected for his kindness and generosity. |
| [Khamael] says: To'Lami was heraled as a champion because of his bloodlust. |
| Lydieen moves closer into the circle. |
| Cairoth wanders back to the circle, near naked and soaking wet. |
| Alerac grumbles about fire never lasting more than five minutes. |
| Cairoth lies down before Niane. |
| Cairoth slumps down behind the ladies with a grunt. |
| [Khamael] says: Every night, it was he who killed most. It was his shack who's walls were stained with a redthat would never come clean. |
| Rook waves at Niane. |
| Devi grins wickedly at Nim. |
| Dahla tries really, really hard not to glance back at the pirate. |
| Strand looks back over his shoulder. |
| Trinn gives in and glances back. |
| [Khamael] says: But, I digress... |
| [Khamael] says: He was called none-the-less to serve king and country. |
| Cairoth lies there, oblivious to the goins-on. He seems to be fixated on a small pebble. |
| [Cairoth] says: *goings |
| [Khamael] says: What dialogue took place is not of import. You all know the stories of old. |
| [Nim] says: Not really... |
| [Rook] says: Ah heard one once; dwarves died i' et. |
| [Khamael] says: It was peril, dire and real. This could not last forever. Eventually...the kingdom's secret would be revealed. |
| Fizzlepocket whispers.. "Excuse me lady... but did you fall from heaven? Because you got a nice can! Will you hold it against me?" (He winks) |
| Havyn nods at Rook..she seems distracted though. |
| You listen intently to Khamael. |
| [Khamael] says: Suffice it to say...that To'Lami set out with his a determined head...and a deadly blade. |
| Fizzlepocket grins at Niane. |
| Wren leans over to whisper to Devi |
| [Khamael] says: Come with me once more, friends, into this world of thought. |
| Lydieen looks over to the three he knows and smiles, as he returns his gaze to the front. |
| [Khamael] says: We all know how very real demons can be.... |
| Devi leans closer to Wren. |
| Khamael cackles maniacally at the situation. |
| Enzo eyes Khamael up and down. |
| Devi smiles at Wren and whispers back. |
| [Khamael] says: And none should be so blind as to think that no demon would not pay attention to a kingdom of cannibals. |
| Alerac grumbles a bit. |
| Overmaen gives Khamael an encouraging nod. |
| Ingarath 's eyes widen. |
| Rook throws a whisper to Alerac. |
| Havyn mutters something about 'Alerac' and 'hat'. |
| [Khamael] says: As To'Lami set out, he was approached by Nygo the Devourer. |
| Nim removes his helmet and sets it next to him. |
| [Khamael] says: A proposition was what was in mind, as it is what demons are prone to imagine. |
| Alerac lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Enzo] says: Nyngow... |
| Khamael eyes the crowd, searching for signs of weariness. |
| Rook quirks an eye at Alerac, grinning. |
| Kayentelva has her eyes wide open |
| [Enzo] says: his name... was Nyngow, storyteller. |
| Strand is attentive, and somewhat somber. |
| Dugald listens |
| Khamael blinks. |
| Wren hugs Devi. |
| Enzo listens intently to Khamael. |
| Havyn seems to be somewhere else completely. |
| Devi smiles at Wren's departing back. |
| [Koryander] says: well... that was certantly interestin... |
| [Khamael] says: To free the kingdom, Kygo wondered what lengths this champion would go. |
| Khamael hacks and coughs once more. |
| Rook taps Havyn, closing her eyes. |
| Koryander whispers to sirithil "eh... remember that undead...?" |
| [Khamael] says: Nygo... |
| Havyn nods slightly |
| Khamael grabs a handful of burning embers and flings them just over the heads of all in attendance. |
| Koryander sighs "um... he sorta drank somethin'... he... dosent look that undead anymore..." |
| Coober is scared! |
| [Khamael] says: With a FLASH Nygo descended! |
| Havyn smirks to herself. |
| [Khamael] says: Burning form and lashing tale aflame and very very real |
| Devi 's eyes widen. |
| [Khamael] says: With a mightly blow he knocked To'Lami to his back and towered before him. |
| Cairoth lies down. |
| Trinn looks rather nervous of Cairoth, armed. |
| [Khamael] says: "To save your kingdom, you must live, Troll. To live...you must appease me..." |
| Suenya lies down before Green Wing Macaw. |
| Selariah hugs Suenya. |
| Khamael cackles maniacally at the situation. |
| Suenya purrs at Selariah. |
| [Khamael] says: The rest...is for when next we meet, I'm afraid. |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| Cairoth applauds. Bravo! |
| You clap excitedly for Khamael. |
| Khamael grins and snaps his neck. |
| Trinn claps excitedly for Khamael. |
| Strand claps excitedly for Khamael. |
| Dugald claps excitedly. |
| Devi nods. |
| Lydieen claps excitedly for Khamael. |
| Dahla quirks a brow, but applauds. |
| Arahshiel nods. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well...I certainly look forward to hearing more, then. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Khamael. |
| Khamael returns to leaning upon his tree with his odd gait. |
| Meris smiles at Khamael. |
| Coober looks around nervously. |
| Suenya feels lonely. |
| Cairoth trots up to the fire, still basically naked. |
| [Trinn] says: Erm...Cairoth... |
| Trinn frowns. |
| [Cairoth] says: Right, now fer me story. Its a short one, no worries. |
| [Cairoth] says: Its a story with a moral. |
| Trinn looks relieved that Alerac's fire went out. Again. |
| Kitria mumbles, "Like maybe... don't forget your clothes?" |
| Ingarath whispers to Trinn, "It's really a chronic type of problem." |
| Kayentelva is staring at the stars |
| Cairoth clears his throat. |
| Strand says weakly, "Well lit. Ngh." |
| [Cairoth] says: 'ow many of you folks like ta fish? |
| Devi smothers a grin. |
| [Cairoth] says: Or 'ave gone fishin'. |
| Ingarath murmurs, "Hell, at least he's wearing pants." |
| Arahshiel chuckles quietly at Ingarath's comment. |
| Lydieen looks at the near naked man, and contemplates chilling the air around him. |
| Trinn raises a hand tentatively. |
| Dahla raises her hand with a grin. |
| [Uwe] says: Aye... I have gone fishin jus now |
| Meris glances with amusement to Cairoth, holding back a laugh |
| Arahshiel raises her hand. |
| Strand peers out of the corner of his eye, and raises his hand. |
| [Cairoth] says: Right. |
| [Cairoth] says: Well, I was fishin' not too long ago, meself. |
| Syrinne mutters, "Y'know... I've always been curous what's beanth tho... anyway. Best not be rude eh?" |
| Dugald scratches Suenya. How catty! |
| [Cairoth] says: I was in the islands, near the Maelstrom. A good place to go fer a little fun. |
| [Cairoth] says: So like I was sayin'. |
| Havyn mutters angrilly under her breath. |
| [Cairoth] says: I was fishin'. |
| Cairoth grunts a little, spitting on the ground. |
| Suenya sniffs Havyn. |
| [Cairoth] says: Lots of things ya can catch if yer not careful. |
| [Cairoth] says: Crabs, fer one. |
| [Dugald] says: hehe |
| Cairoth scratches his lower stomach a little. |
| Havyn pushes Suenya away lightly |
| Devi wrinkles her nose in distaste. |
| [Cairoth] says: Always eatin' yer baitfish, tanglin' up yer lines. |
| Suenya looks unhappy. |
| [Cairoth] says: An' the rash is no fun, I can tell ya thats a bloody fact! |
| Arahshiel reaches out to pet Suenya as the great cat walks by. |
| Fizzlepocket has left the raid group |
| Syrinne blushes furiously. |
| [Cairoth] says: So in conclusion... |
| Suenya sniffs Arahshiel. |
| Havyn glances at Alerac |
| Dahla coughs and grins. |
| Arahshiel scratches Suenya behind the ears, carefully. |
| Suenya decides that Arashiel would make a good headrest. |
| [Cairoth] says: Iffn' ya go fishin' fer a good time in a sea of trollops, ya might catch crabs. An' crabs ain't worth a damn, savvy? |
| Suenya lies down before Arahshiel. |
| [Uwe] says: Aye! |
| Dugald nods at Cairoth. |
| Enzo whispers to Meris. |
| Cairoth scratches again and wanders off to find his clothes. |
| Syrinne just stares at Cairoth in awe. |
| Enzo kneels before Meris. |
| Arahshiel gently pets the fur of the great cat as it lies against her. |
| Discostu points at Dahla. |
| Enzo smiles at Meris. |
| [Discostu] says: Excuse me. I'm from the FBI, the Fine Body Investigators, and I'm going to have to ask you to assume the position... |
| Suenya purrs softly and seems to fall asleep. |
| Trinn blinks, glancing over at Dahla. |
| [Discostu] says: Heh. Heh. Alright. |
| Uwe looks at Discostu with a confused look. |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| Devi echoes Ingarath's sigh. |
| Arahshiel is soothed by the rumbling purr. |
| Dahla just drops her face into her hands. |
| [Discostu] says: Come on, beautiful... Be unique and different, just say yes. |
| [Sirithil] says: You'd have to be unique and different to say yes to a pickup line that horrid. |
| Ingarath blinks in total confusion. |
| Arahshiel giggles at Sirithil. |
| Kayentelva sighs |
| Discostu dances with Dahla. |
| Cairoth wanders back into the circle, looking around and visibly bored. |
| [Syrinne] says: If yu weren't here Siri... I might have said yes... I mean... you have to pity him. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well...if Rook ever makes it back *looks around*....she wanted to share something with us. |
| [Lydieen] says: I could freeze his parts off, if you wish. |
| Strand looks mildly horrified. |
| [Discostu] says: Not a problem! |
| [Rook] says: Back! Back awready. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ah! There you are. |
| Havyn glances at Rook |
| [Discostu] says: There... I saved you the trouble, lady. |
| Meris gives Alerac a pleading look. |
| You clap excitedly for Rook. |
| [Cairoth] says: Anybody spare some coin fer a drink? I'm levellin' out here an' I'm none too happy fer it. |
| Syrinne gives Sirithil a sly grin. |
| You laugh at Rook. |
| [Dahla] says: ... Lydieen, would you be so kind? |
| [Rook] says: So, whit noo? |
| [Discostu] says: Come on, lady. Get down with your funky self! |
| [Ingarath] says: Rook, Destroyer of Goretsusks. |
| Rook fakes a bow. |
| [Cairoth] says: Oi, thanks Nim! |
| [Ingarath] says: Er..Goretusks, even. |
| [Cairoth] says: I owe ya. |
| [Nim] says: A'course. |
| [Rook] says: Wait! ... the title grows. |
| Rook points at Rabbit. |
| Nim smiles at Cairoth. |
| Strand says, mildly thoughtful, "We could alternate, Lydieen. You first, then me, then you. Experiment." |
| [Ingarath] says: Obliterator of Rabbits! |
| Kitria glances around, mumbling for a moment. |
| Khamael eyes Dugald up and down. |
| Dahla nods at Strand, not sure whether to laugh or cry. |
| Meris puts her head in her hands, looking confused. |
| Ingarath eyes Rook. "You were going to share something, weren't you?" |
| [Rook] says: So, ah've jist got sorta a lang bit, if'n ah may? |
| Discostu sits down near Dahla, placing his muscular arm around her... |
| Lydieen looks over to Discostu and snaps his finger, a cold air begins to fill the area, focusing on the Discostu general lower leg area. |
| [Ingarath] says: Please, please. |
| [Discostu] says: Can I flirt with you? |
| Rook nods, shuffling a crinkled paper out from her satchels. |
| [Dahla] says: ... no. Please no. |
| [Discostu] says: Hmmm.... Screw me if I am wrong, but haven't we met before? |
| Devi rolls her eyes. |
| Kayentelva sighs |
| [Ingarath] says: My goddess...I've heard better pickup lines from *goblins*. |
| [Dahla] says: So, how about those stories? |
| [Lydieen] says: sir, I would have to ask you to leave, before I make that cold sensation into an ice block. |
| [Cairoth] says: Goblins are crafty little buggers. |
| [Ingarath] says: Indeed. |
| [Cairoth] says: The Baron was a hit with the ladies, no doubt. ...hic! |
| Trinn says something about...hey, over there! look!, and moves. |
| [Uwe] says: Yes... my favorite pickup line is "time is money friend" |
| Lydieen raises his fingers, ready to snap them again. |
| [Rook] says: So! Ignore the wee one? |
| Dahla gives Trinn a pleading look as she's abandoned. |
| Ingarath nods. |
| Khamael snickers at Dugald. |
| [Ingarath] says: Please, Rook....go ahead. |
| Strand thinks about a second, and nudges Dahla. |
| Rook holds one hand against the small of her back, glancing frequently down to the paper in her hand. |
| Cairoth looks over to Discostu with a raised brow, squinting through the drunken haze. |
| Discostu grins... " |
| [Discostu] says: Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can practically see myself in them. |
| [Rook] says: ...ahem. |
| [Rook] says: Bugger off, lad; if'n ye'll no' be quiet? |
| Cairoth shtaggers over to Discostu unsteadily. |
| Trinn takes a small book from her pocket and writes that one down. |
| Kitria glances around nervously, searching for a familiar face. Failing that she motions at Lydieen. |
| Cairoth shwaysh in place a little. |
| Lydieen still holding his hand in the air, poise to snap them again. |
| [Sirithil] says: Would someone just shoot that man? Please? |
| [Cairoth] says: Oi, wanker. ...hic! |
| [Syrinne] says: Sure? Roasted or souless? |
| [Cairoth] says: Shtand up! |
| [Rook] says: Both. |
| [Sirithil] says: Both. |
| Nim looks over at the strange man and Cairoth |
| [Syrinne] says: Hmmm... creative. |
| Rook begins. |
| [Discostu] says: Huh... What's this, uh? |
| [Cairoth] says: Pissh off, you bleedin' ponce. |
| [Discostu] says: I saw the lady first! |
| [Rook] says: (( Right, /ignore on. )) |
| Cairoth jamsh a finger into Discostu's chest drunkenly. |
| [Sirithil] says: ((Unbelievable. Two in one night.)) |
| [Rook] says: "Upon a hill there rages on |
| [Cairoth] says: Piss off or I'll split yer gizzard! |
| [Rook] says: A war of men, their weapons drawn, |
| [Rook] says: Their arrows set, their King on steed, |
| [Discostu] says: Discostu's got the moves. |
| Discostu dances with Green Wing Macaw. |
| Kitria mumbles, glancing around again, not sure who in particular she's talking to, "I, uhh.. might have done a very bad thing." |
| Dugald scratches himself. Ah, much better! |
| [Rook] says: To whom the mighty warriors heed; |
| Dahla continues to hide her face. |
| [Rook] says: And all bring bloodshed to the dawn. |
| [Syrinne] says: Hmmm... Siri... I don't like to shoot defenceless animals.... and Rook has a reading. |
| [Rook] says: The enemy gives solemn yell, |
| [Discostu] says: Beat that, buddy. |
| [Rook] says: Their King atop a mare as well |
| Lydieen snaps his finger, dropping the tempature of the man's trouser to sub zero temperatures. |
| [Cairoth] says: Right, I'll beat it. |
| [Rook] says: To onward stir the armored host |
| Sirithil is already listening to Rook. |
| [Rook] says: Against the foe, 'til but a ghost |
| [Rook] says: Of life stands on the dreary fell. |
| Cairoth has defeated Discostu in a duel |
| [Rook] says: Yet 'midst the fallen there remains |
| [Rook] says: Atop the hill a seedling new: |
| [Rook] says: A tiny oak of dusky hue, |
| [Discostu] says: Lucky git! |
| [Rook] says: A sparrow perched beneath its vanes |
| Cairoth rears back and shwings a wild haymaker at the younger man. |
| [Niane] says: Nim what is going on with your hands? |
| [Rook] says: As sunlight stirs and moonlight wanes. |
| Rook pauses. |
| Meris frowns at Alerac. |
| Suenya purrs at Arahshiel thankfully and runs off to find a nice tree to camp under for the night. |
| [Rook] says: Around the hill a forest grows, |
| [Rook] says: A maze of dark where no man goes. |
| Suenya purrs at Arahshiel. |
| [Rook] says: The corpses all are long since gone: |
| Nim glances over at Niane. |
| [Nim] says: Hm? |
| Ingarath wonders what the hell it is about goretusks. |
| [Rook] says: Where once was death and carrion |
| [Rook] says: There now is life in all its throes. |
| Arahshiel smiles at Suenya as she departs. |
| Cairoth lies down. |
| [Rook] says: A man into the forest strays, |
| [Rook] says: At first but lost, yet then he stays. |
| [Rook] says: The trees are strong, the waters deep; |
| [Rook] says: The man abides within this keep |
| [Rook] says: Of twining walls and emerald rays. |
| [Rook] says: And high atop the forest's crest |
| [Rook] says: There stands the oak, now proud and tall, |
| [Rook] says: Its branches holding in their shawl |
| [Rook] says: Of buds a tiny sparrow's nest, |
| [Rook] says: Its master curled in morning rest. |
| Rook pauses, glancing around. |
| [Rook] says: Beside the hill a village springs |
| Uwe claps excitedly. |
| [Rook] says: Into the life that solace brings. |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Rook. |
| [Rook] says: The townsolk roam beneath the shade: |
| Sirithil applauds at Rook. Bravo! |
| [Rook] says: New towns they build in field and glade, |
| Arahshiel listens intently to Rook. |
| [Rook] says: And on the hill a child sings. |
| Syrinne applauds. Bravo! |
| Syrinne cheers! |
| [Rook] says: The beasts now from the forest flee: |
| [Rook] says: Their eyes the growing future see. |
| Cairoth claps lazily, murmuring. |
| [Rook] says: Now only men traverse the ground, |
| [Rook] says: The calls of hawk and owl drowned |
| Discostu has left the raid group |
| [Rook] says: Beneath the sounds of joy and glee. |
| [Rook] says: And overlooking all the vale |
| [Rook] says: The green-leafed oak stands on its gnoll, |
| [Rook] says: A sparrow lying in the shoal |
| [Rook] says: Of noontide shadows, sparse and pale, |
| [Rook] says: Its mate departing from its wail. |
| Rook looks down. |
| [Rook] says: Above the hill the sky grows grey. |
| [Rook] says: The burning cities fall away, |
| You listen intently to Rook. |
| [Rook] says: A war of discord sweeps the fields, |
| [Rook] says: The burning trees like crimson shields |
| [Rook] says: That hang above the dying fray. |
| [Rook] says: Now axe and sword are made to speak |
| [Rook] says: Their words that hew down strong and weak. |
| Enzo whispers into his hands for a moment. |
| Kayentelva 's eyes are slowly widening.... |
| [Rook] says: The flames arise and confiscate |
| [Rook] says: All life that steel cannot abate, |
| [Rook] says: And leave the forests burned and bleak. |
| Strand leans in, listening. |
| [Rook] says: Yet on the hill the aging oak |
| [Rook] says: Of all the trees escapes its doom, |
| [Rook] says: So withered in the evening gloom, |
| [Rook] says: A sparrow morning in the cloak |
| [Rook] says: Of ashen leaves and crushing smoke. |
| Rook closes her eyes, reciting: |
| [Rook] says: The moonlight once again takes reign: |
| [Rook] says: Its rays like water weave and feign |
| [Rook] says: Across the barren wastes below, |
| [Rook] says: A hollow land that none now know: |
| [Rook] says: A broken ruin, free of pain. |
| [Rook] says: The hill is silent, watching now |
| [Rook] says: The lands that have seen peace and row |
| [Rook] says: And died, devoid of cause or faith, |
| [Rook] says: Their spirit like a faded wraith |
| [Rook] says: To ever haunt the hilltop's brow. |
| Thristuss smiles at Kayentelva. |
| [Rook] says: The oak is dead: it lies alone |
| Kayentelva contemplates the stars for a second |
| [Rook] says: Atop the hill. Its branches, bare |
| Kayentelva waves at Thristuss. |
| [Rook] says: Of leaf or bird, now twist and tear |
| [Rook] says: To fall upon untrodden stone, |
| Thristuss bites Alerac. Ouch! |
| Meris looks angrily at Alerac. |
| [Rook] says: Where lies a moonlit sparrow's bone. |
| Thristuss listens intently to Rook. |
| Rook opens her eyes sadly. |
| [Rook] says: The hill reclaims them for its own." |
| Rook nods slightly. |
| Ingarath 's eyes widen. |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Rook. |
| You clap excitedly for Rook. |
| [Alerac] says: ...fuckin ell.... |
| Enzo claps excitedly for Rook. |
| Meris claps excitedly for Rook. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Rook. |
| Uwe claps excitedly for Rook. |
| Devi claps excitedly. |
| Strand sits a long moment, then claps, expression quiet. |
| Havyn nods at Rook...impressed. |
| Sirithil applauds at Rook. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: ...Wonderful, Rook. Wonderful. |
| Havyn applauds at Rook. Bravo! |
| [Thristuss] says: No, I dont have any fire works. |
| Dahla just nods slowly. |
| Arahshiel claps, a melancholy look upon her face. |
| Strand glances back over his shoulder. |
| [Thristuss] says: But I do have a story. |
| You clap excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Thristuss rekindles his thoughts. |
| Niane looks over at Nim |
| Dugald listens intently to Thristuss. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Lydieen has one of those looks on his face, the look that portrays a man that does not understand poetry. |
| Kayentelva salutes Thristuss with respect. |
| [Thristuss] says: (( since I cant bring it to you on The actull thristus bare with me )) |
| [Thristuss] says: The story begins in a small part of Stormwind where a young tailors son is studying for his class. |
| Rook grumbles, watching Niane. |
| [Thristuss] says: '' The Orc warrior Hellscream defeats the large demon with his massive swing''. ''Whoa what a heroic warrior.'' Thristus said. Quiet down I will have no stories of orcs in my house his farther said as he threw it into the fire. |
| Havyn speaks quietly to Rook. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus eager to learn more began to read a whole lot more and he found out many things the coming of the legion and these blasted creatures called trolls that he just did not understand. As he got older his lust for knowledge grew and he gained a clerks |
| [Thristuss] says: Position in royal libary in stormwind. |
| [Thristuss] says: For months he studied and became friends with the head librarian. Thristus and him would always make fun of the guards to noble to even look away from there guard post. |
| Kayentelva slowly leans forward |
| [Thristuss] says: '' HEY LOOK ITS A ORC'' as they laughed as the guard called the alarm. |
| Havyn smiles slightly |
| Nim leans forward, listening to the speaker's story. |
| [Thristuss] says: One day Thristus helped his newly founded friend carry some books back to his friends lodge just north of the inn in Goldshire. |
| [Thristuss] says: They were cutt off by a gang of defias scoundrels which then stabbed and looted the lIberian. |
| Thristuss cries. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus running in fear swore revenge on the rogues and plotted against them in contempt. |
| Enzo looks to his right for a moment. |
| Dugald mutters "defias scum" |
| Meris glances behind her to Havyn, while continuing to whisper to Alerac. |
| Khamael snickers at Dugald. |
| Havyn kneels down beside Meris 'accidently' elbowing Alerac, whispers. |
| Havyn kneels down. |
| [Thristuss] says: He took the position of head librarian and for some time learned more and more. One day he picked up a book. '' The fall of Stormwind'' it was all about these defias gang and there once hero leader Van Cleef. |
| Syrinne tries to get to her feet, but stumbles, falling on her knee and cursing. |
| Alerac "accidentally" sets the hem of Havyn's dress on fire with a minor immolation spell. |
| Strand frowns, to himself. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus finnaly able to get enough information to start his plan packed up and left Stormwind and headed to Westfall. His home pillaged and looted by the same gang they let him live. But a mistake it was for the men in the red masks. |
| Kayentelva nods at the mention of Van Cleef |
| Meris nods to Havyn. |
| Havyn growls and puts the fire out. Punches Alerac in the arm before standing. |
| [Thristuss] says: For Thristus followed them to there camp in Moonbrook disguised as one of them.Thristus was pulled aside and thought the ways of the rogue. He learned everything he could as always and was top of his class of theifs. He was to be honored by Van Cleef ... |
| [Thristuss] says: Himself. |
| Niane waves at Norkdink. |
| [Niane] says: Nork...Hello |
| [Norkdink] says: Hi |
| [Thristuss] says: The day came where he would meet his friends destroyer and in a instance using the art of stealth he quickly killed van cleef and vanished. Showing the king what he had done by the Pendent he had took from Van Cleef. |
| Rook huffs; a lingering spark of Alerac's fire jumps and sparks along the ground, trailing off into the lake's depths. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus was deemed a hero and made head of the defense in Duskwood which they would soon Call The Night Watchers. On and off they fought the scourge on all fronts of duskwood. |
| Devi nods to Norkdink. |
| Norkdink smiles at Devi. |
| [Thristuss] says: Until one night the undead finally got the best of them. Thristus and his soldiers stumbled into a valley that seemed elfish and gazed into its beauty but off guard were attacked by a beast called stiches. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus awoke with two undead over him in his own grave they had built for him behind a haunt. '' Is he a mindless'' One undead snarled to the other. Thristus Screamed and run away from them both clinging away from anything near his grasp. |
| [Thristuss] says: The other dead laughed and said ''Nope''. Thristus began to think to himself he just had a bad dream and stumbled into the inn a little to much last night until he came apon a night watcher a friend of his. |
| Arahshiel seems to notice the time and shyly excuses herself. |
| [Thristuss] says: He walked up to say hello however the night watcher just ran away Thristus dough ted what he was but as his skin grew pale he began to see the truth. He went back to his grave knowing his feelings were slowly fading and went to sleep to the end of this... |
| [Thristuss] says: world. |
| Strand props his elbows on his knees, and listens. |
| [Thristuss] says: But something a woke him it was not a nightmare but a vision a vision of what happened after that battle. A portal formed in the valley of the elfish land and a small owl flew from out it forming into a human it seemed. |
| Kayentelva slowly finds more confort in leaning on the ground. |
| [Thristuss] says: he explained to Thristus why she has come and what is to happen. She showed him a battle field and a firey sky and a warlord of such standing over thousands of infernos. |
| Lydieen takes off his outer vest. |
| [Thristuss] says: ''You can prevent this.'' She said.''But it is you who will have to figure it out''. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thristus awoke and to see that he was wearing the pantheon symbol the guild of the titans had gave him a mission and he was going to do it. Flesh no Flesh the Pantheon Guardians where born. |
| Thristuss mutters. (( The end )) |
| Dugald claps excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Athratir nods |
| Rook nods; nicely told. |
| Athratir claps excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Uwe claps excitedly. |
| Koryander cheers at Thristuss! |
| Xindo claps excitedly for Thristuss. |
| You clap excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Strand claps quietly. |
| Thristuss thanks Koryander. |
| Devi nods. |
| [Thristuss] says: Theres a small Story on the pantheon. |
| Khamael kneels before Meris. |
| Kayentelva claps excitedly for Thristuss. |
| Koryander smiles at Thristuss. |
| Ingarath nods slowly. |
| [Thristuss] says: I will shre if no one else has to say anything. |
| Ingarath looks around. |
| [Ingarath] says: Anyone....? |
| [Thristuss] says: About half of that |
| Khamael stands and runs off into the night, a splash is heard in the distance. |
| Meris looks back at Khamael and nods. |
| Koryander blinks at Khamael. |
| [Thristuss] says: Alright then. |
| Enzo kneels down. |
| [Thristuss] says: This is read directly from the lore. |
| [Thristuss] says: No one knows exactly how the universe began. Some theorize that a catastrophic cosmic explosion sent the infinite worlds spinning out into the vastness of the Great Dark - worlds that would one day bear life forms of wondrous and terrible diversity. |
| [Thristuss] says: Others believe that the universe was created as a whole by a single all-powerful entity. |
| Rook looks down. |
| [Thristuss] says: Though the exact origins of the chaotic universe remain uncertain, it is clear that a race of powerful beings arose to bring stability to the various worlds and ensure a safe future for the beings that would follow in their footsteps. |
| Kayentelva is in amazement |
| [Thristuss] says: The Titans, colossal, metallic-skinned gods from the far reaches of the cosmos, explored the newborn universe and set to work on the worlds they encountered. |
| Rook smiles. |
| [Thristuss] says: They shaped the worlds by raising mighty mountains and dredging out vast seas. They breathed skies and raging atmospheres into being. |
| [Thristuss] says: It was all part of their unfathomable, far-sighted plan to create order out of chaos. They even empowered primitive races to tend to their works and maintain the integrity of their respective worlds. |
| Rook kneels down. |
| [Thristuss] says: Now listen here comes the good part |
| Devi excuses herself quietly with a small wave to the gathering. |
| Rook looks at Enzo curiously. |
| [Enzo] says: There is something in there about... Ah azen thiallen... |
| [Thristuss] says: Ruled by an elite sect known as the Pantheon, the Titans brought order to a hundred million worlds scattered throughout the Great Dark |
| [Thristuss] says: Beyond during the first ages of creation. The benevolent Pantheon, which sought to safeguard these structured worlds, was ever vigilant against the threat of attack from the vile extra-dimensional entities of the Twisting Nether. |
| [Thristuss] says: The Nether, an ethereal dimension of chaotic magics that connected the myriad worlds of the universe, was home to an infinite number of malefic, |
| Enzo realizes he is speaking aloud... begins whispering again... |
| [Thristuss] says: demonic beings who sought only to destroy life and devour the energies of the living universe. Unable to conceive of evil or wickedness in any form, the Titans struggled to find a way to end the demons' constant threat. |
| [Thristuss] says: Again ... the end. |
| Koryander looks wide eyed |
| Rook kneels down. |
| [Thristuss] says: Isit just me or is half the circle missing. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Koryander] says: Seems... they neglected a few things in uldaman... |
| Rook waves a hand. |
| [Xindo] says: ... |
| [Rook] says: Ah'm still aboot, lad. |
| [Thristuss] says: I geuss thats my qque. |
| [Thristuss] says: Thanks for having me allaince hope to see you on the newly battlegrounds. |
| [Thristuss] says: Il be back nextweek |
| Ingarath yawns suddenly. |
| [Thristuss] says: bye :) |
| [Syrinne] says: Crud! I new I forgot something! Timmy is still in Uldaman! Man am I dead....! |
| Koryander waves at Thristuss. |
| Kayentelva nods |
| [Rook] says: Bring mair firepoppers, eh? |
| Kayentelva salutes Thristuss with respect. |
| Syrinne waves goodbye to Thristuss. Farewell! |
| Rook kneels down. |
| Koryander salutes Thristuss with respect. |
| Lydieen waves at Thristuss. |
| [Sirithil] says: You forgot your orphan in Uldaman? |
| [Syrinne] says: Yes. |
| Syrinne frowns with disappointment at Thristuss. |
| [Koryander] says: ... how does one do that... |
| Koryander giggles at you. |
| [Syrinne] says: I knew I forgot soemthing. I always forget someting! |
| [Koryander] says: (woops :P ) |
| Ingarath shakes his head. |
| [Sirithil] says: Oh, for the love of... Damn. Oops. |
| Rook clears her throat and reluctantly slips into elven. |
| [Dugald] says: Excuse me Rook? |
| Enzo eyes Dugald up and down. |
| Lydieen looks over to Trinn. |
| Koryander gently pats Syrinne. |
| Rook looks up in the middle of the page. |

| [Alerac] says: Get over here, Trinn. |
| [Dugald] says: Alright. |
| Kayentelva bows at the assistance |
| [Alerac] says: Boot flask time. |
| Trinn grins, walking over. |
| [Syrinne] says: Wait a moment... |
| [Trinn] says: That, I can do. |
| [Trinn] says: Though not poetry, overly well. |
| [Sirithil] says: ...you didn't. |

| [Syrinne] says: Oh blood and ashes! Timmy has the keys! |
| [Trinn] says: A countdown, please? Someone? |
| Syrinne cries. |
| Strand snorts softly. |
| Dahla arches a brow. "Is this interpretive dance?" |
| Sirithil facepalms. |
| Koryander comforts Syrinne. |
| [Strand] says: Three. |
| [Koryander] says: ummm |
| [Koryander] says: sure |
| [Ingarath] says: Two. |
| [Rook] says: Shoulders, likewise. |

| [Ingarath] says: Bang! |
| You laugh. |
| Niane cheers at Nim! |
| Nim cheers! |
| Koryander blinks. |
| Sirithil applauds. Bravo! |
| Dahla looks at Trinn and groans. |
| Syrinne blinks. |
| Strand blinks. Twice. |
| Koryander laughs. |
| Koryander cheers! |
| Syrinne cheers! |
| [Sirithil] says: Okay, that was pretty cool. |
| [Dugald] says: The Phoenix items are the difficult part. |
| Meris grins at the two. |
| Alerac nods. |
| [Strand] says: Do it again. |
| Trinn doubles over in laughter. |
| [Alerac] says: That'sh all I wanted to do. |
| Anathese lies down. |
| [Rook] says: Aye; ah ken the pants, fer sure. |
| [Koryander] says: haha |
| [Trinn] says: Half an hour, Shtrand. |
| [Alerac] says: Bah. Do it again, we'll burn our throats out. |
| [Syrinne] says: I always knew Trinn had a fiery personality.... |
| [Koryander] says: works fer me! |
| [Strand] says: Fair enough. |
| [Rook] says: The gloves ah'm still lookin' fer. |
| Meris peers at Xindo out of the corner of her eye. |
| Trinn stumbles back to her sheat, laughing. |
| [Strand] says: I have /hops/. |
| [Rook] says: Is et mainly those twa ye fancy? |
| [Alerac] says: Well then. |
| [Trinn] says: Hops? |
| [Strand] says: Mmm. |
| Trinn peers at Strand curiously. |
| [Alerac] says: I believe that's how we end it, eh folks? |
| Lydieen smiles at Trinn. |
| [Trinn] says: How...many? |
| Ingarath nods. |
| Syrinne searches through her pockets. |
| [Strand] says: Just six. And there's a keg in the bank. |
| Ingarath stands slowly. |
| [Alerac] says: So, good night, ride home safe. |
| [Sirithil] says: Yes, hops. Smaller than jumps or leaps, but bigger than skips. |
| [Trinn] says: Hm. ...hic! |
| [Syrinne] says: Damnit! Where are tose keys?! |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you all for coming and sharing. |
| [Dugald] says: Right, and the linen items as well. |

| [Koryander] says: hmmm, most I can do is this |
| [Syrinne] says: Ingarath, have you seen my keys? |
| [Alerac] says: I felt it was needed. |
| Syrinne blinks. |
| [Koryander] says: ... yep |
| [Koryander] says: thats all I got |
| [Rook] says: Ah can make [Woolen Boots], though no' [Red Woolen Boots]. |
| Strand tilts his head, thinking. |
| [Alerac] says: Yup. |
| [Rook] says: Yet. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Alerac. |
| Niane cheers at Alerac! |
| Trinn seems to consider a flagrant waste of the Light. |
| Koryander claps excitedly for Sirithil. |
| [Strand] says: Dahla, I also have something for you. Ack again. |
| Meris rubs her temples and tries to ignore the showoffy warlock. |
| Enzo claps half heartedly, clearly unimpressed. |
| Ingarath sighs. |
| Vanxer agrees with Trinn |
| [Dugald] says: Well, the phoenix items are the more crucial things. |
| [Koryander] says: I wish I could do somethin' flashy now, haha |
| [Sirithil] says: You have glowyhands. |
| [Koryander] says: hmm |

| [Trinn] says: Very! |
| [Rook] says: Awright; fer starts ah'll get ye twa o' each as ah ken the make o'. |
| [Lydieen] says: it was getting hot, I needed to cool down. |
| Dahla glances between Lydieen and Vanxer. |
| [Dugald] says: Excellent |
| Lydieen grins wickedly. |
| Dahla rubs her eyes. |
| [Ingarath] says: Alright...I think I must now retire to bed. |
| You bow down graciously. |
| [Sirithil] says: Oooh, Rook has glowyhands too. |
| [Alerac] says: Night, man. |
| Koryander hugs Sylvina. |
| Sylvina hugs Koryander. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you all again. |
| Syrinne leans on her staff, panting a little. |
| [Alerac] says: Take care of youself, eh? |
| [Dugald] says: I will pay what you deem fair. |
| Rook puts away a concealed scrip; she has noted Dugald's wardrobe. |
| Koryander cheers at Sylvina! |
| [Ingarath] says: I will try... |
| [Rook] says: Ah'll charge ye whit ye will be guid fer. |
| Sylvina smiles at Koryander. |
| [Koryander] says: You made it!.. at... the end... but thats okay! |
| [Trinn] says: Night, Ingarath. |
| You grin wickedly at Dahla. |

| [Sylvina] says: You look different. |
| [Ingarath] says: Take care. |
| [Dugald] says: Thank you. |
| [Strand] says: Thank you, Ingarath. It's a boon, this. |
| Rook 's gaze drifts back to Enzo as she draws the parchment back out. |
| [Koryander] says: oh!... ummm... one second |

| [Ingarath] says: ..I hope so. |
