| [Masaka] says: Then what she doesn’t know wont worry her any. |
| Masaka nods at Takaren. |
| Takaren lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Takaren] says: Doubtful |
| [Rheyann] says: I bet. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: How are you doing, Mister Nim Sir? |
| Nadeshiko grins wickedly at Nim. |
| Wendall greets you with a hearty hello! |
| [Nim] says: Y'can just call me Nim, y'know. |
| [Meris] says: Hello, Wendall! |
| [Wendall] says: Welcome to Storytelling! |
| [Nim] says: Everyone is fightin' each other. and s'pretty neat! |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Okay, Nim y'know! |
| Wendall waves at Trinn. |
| Nadeshiko giggles at Nim. |
| [Wendall] says: Hello lady Trinn, Mr. Ninja. |
| Nim grins wickedly at Nadeshiko. |
| [Meris] says: Err... right. Are you the official greeter, now? |
| Jubbyjubby points at Nadeshiko. |
| Trinn smiles. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Sorry. Bad joke. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Friendly duel? |
| Jubbyjubby bows before Nadeshiko. |
| [Wendall] says: Nah, just have to greet my good friend Meris. |
| Nadeshiko bows before Jubbyjubby. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Fight for fun? |
| [Nim] says: S'alright! I've heard worse. |
| Wendall pokes Meris. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: No way. I died twice on the way here from stupid spiders. |
| [Wendall] says: Here, somethin' to eat while you listen. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Oh ok! |
| [Nadeshiko] says: I've had my fill. |
| Meris smirks at Wendall. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: No problemo! |
| Wendall winks slyly at you. |
| Nadeshiko grins wickedly at Jubbyjubby. |
| [Wendall] says: ok Rhey! |
| [Rheyann] says: I'll beat you up if you want, gnome. |
| Nadeshiko flirts with Jubbyjubby. |
| [Rheyann] says: Oh. |
| [Rheyann] says: [Thelassian] Nor Talah |
| Rheyann is instantly surrounded by Ice Armor. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Oh. Was it something I said? |
| Nadeshiko shrugs at Jubbyjubby. Who knows? |
| Nim whispers over to Nadeshika loudly. "Be careful with him. He can be mean!" |
| [Wendall] says: ack! |
| [Ingarath] says: Hmm. He's got good taste in leather. |
| You poke Nim. Hey! |
| Wendall sighs at Rheyann. |
| [Ingarath] says: I approve. |
| Nim waves at you. |
| [Strand] says: ... extra? |
| [Nim] says: Hi Meris! |
| Rheyann smiles at Wendall. |
| [Wendall] says: Even YOU can beat me in a sword fight. |
| Arrish inspects the ninja. |
| [Jegen] says: I suppose I should change again |
| [Rheyann] says: Why is that surprising? |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Okay. Thanks Mister Nim. |
| Wendall grumbles. |
| Strand strikes a stealthy pose. |
| [Meris] says: Allo, Nim.. |
| Trinn narrows her eyes at Ingarath. "I liked him the way he /was/." |
| [Wendall] says: Hey, I TRY. |
| [Arrish] says: Oh, when you talk you spoil the entire illusion, brother mine. |
| [Rheyann] says: I mean... |
| Strand shrugs eloquently. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Can I sit here with you, Mister Nim? |
| Ingarath laughs softly. |
| [Strand] says: Hard to tell Mellor stories without talking. |
| [Nim] says: Sure! |
| [Arrish] says: Wait until he gets a pirate. |
| Trinn gives Arrish a not entirely sweet smile. |
| [Jegen] says: Hey! there's your hat! |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Ah. |
| [Ingarath] says: Yarr, and all that. |
| Strand looks alarmed, but it's hard to tell. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Hard to tell *any* stories without talking. |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Strand. |
| [Ingarath] says: Nonsense, Cogitatus. |
| [Cogitatus] says: ...unless you want to be a mime. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| [Wendall] says: sitting here, Meris? |
| Arrish covers a laugh. |
| [Rheyann] says: Wendall. |
| [Trinn] says: The night Mellor stealthed away. Ngh. |
| [Strand] says: Nim had a very nice poem without talking once. |
| Meris relaxes back against the log. |
| [Wendall] says: Yeah Rhey? |
| Ingarath laughs at Trinn. |
| [Nim] says: Well.. this is a little far back.. y'gotta wait fer th'fire first t'know where t'sit. |
| [Rheyann] says: I wasn't insulting you. |
| [Wendall] says: Oh I know Rhey. |
| [Arrish] says: Strand looks so /odd/ in that getup. |
| Nim blinks and looks over at the Ninja, hearing his name. |
| Ingarath waves softly to Meris. |
| [Nim] says: Thanks! |
| Wendall pats Meris on her head. |
| Meris nods subtly to Ingarath. |
| [Arrish] says: Would you like a fish, Ingarath? You too could be clad all in black leather. |
| Kennia nods at Jubbyjubby. |
| [Ingarath] says: Why, just like last night! |
| [Strand] says: The oddest thing is the black hair. |
| Meris shoots Wendall a strange look. |
| [Ingarath] says: I mean....er. |
| Trinn reaches for Strand's hand reflexively, then drops it. "It's not YOU." |
| [Arrish] says: I suppose it's not much of a change for a rogue. |
| Wendall nods at you. |
| [Nim] says: There’s th'fire! Now we can set up. |
| Arrish relents, and tells Trinn, "It only lasts about an hour." |
| Nim nods emphatically. |
| [Strand] says: Mmmph. |
| Ingarath shrugs. "The rogue's best friend, aside from a good dagger." |
| Strand looks relieved. |
| Meris grins amusedly at Strand. "He's a rogue?" |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| Trinn lets out a whoosh of air, relieved. |
| [Ingarath] says: Oh, you thought it was permanent, Trinn? |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Cogitatus looks over Strand's outfit. |
| [Trinn] says: I didn't know! |
| [Ingarath] says: Oh, well. That would be rather amusing indeed. |
| [Strand] says: It would be disturbing. |
| Kennia giggles |
| Wendall nudges Kennia. |
| [Strand] says: And Sparrow refuses to come near. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: We just sit back? |
| Cogitatus furrows his brow. |
| Arrish just starts giggling. |
| [Trinn] says: Well, you're wearing a cow on you. No wonder. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Sparrow? |
| [Arrish] says: I don't blame her. |
| [Strand] says: My horse. |
| [Cogitatus] says: I see. |
| [Ingarath] says: Pfeh! Cow is good enough for some of us, ma'am. |
| [Arrish] says: I wonder what happens if a gnome eats it? |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: You don't wanna know. |
| [Arrish] says: Nim, would you like to sample something? It's tasty. |
| Trinn nods at Ingarath, conceding the point. "But...not for Strand." |
| [Nim] says: What is it? |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I'll do it! |
| Ingarath laughs softly at Arrish. |
| [Nim] says: I hope its pie! |
| [Lucasta] says: [Darnassian] Alah diel Do'rah adore |
| [Arrish] says: Ack. |
| [Ingarath] says: ....my, my. |
| [Trinn] says: Oh, for gods' sake. |
| Strand chortles. |
| Kennia laughs |
| Ingarath whistles appreciatively. |
| [Arrish] says: It... jumped into my mouth! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Is it good?? |
| Meris gazes around at those gathered. "Nice, ahhh... disguises. |
| Arrish looks annoyed. |
| [Trinn] says: Well, you look like /siblings/ again. NGH. |
| Wendall pokes Kennia. Hey! |
| Trinn stomps off. |
| Ingarath laughs at Trinn. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I want one! |
| [Strand] says: Gah! |
| [Nim] says: I wanna try some! |
| Strand tilts his head. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Thanks! |
| [Arrish] says: Here you go, sir gnome. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: WEE!!! |
| Ingarath looks Arrish up and down. "Wonderful crafting on that...." |
| [Rheyann] says: Hey. |
| [Arrish] says: Oh... dear. |
| [Trinn] says: Damn and blast. |
| Arrish eyes Ingarath up and down. |
| Strand says firmly, "I'm sitting next to you anyhow." |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: LOOK AT ME! |
| Ingarath 's mouth falls open. "...." |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Nim! It's JJ! |
| Rheyann pokes Wendall. Hey! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Wee!! |
| [Nim] says: Thas neat.... |
| [Ingarath] says: Wow. |
| Wendall pokes Rheyann. Hey! |
| [Nim] says: Can I have some? |
| Rheyann points at her belt. |
| [Trinn] says: Well. It will be our entirely stealthy story circle. We'll sit and look broodingly at each other all night. |
| [Wendall] says: Rhey... im not going to help you with that. |
| [Rheyann] says: Huh? |
| [Kennia] says: I need a Black Mask |
| Jubbyjubby rubs his belly. |
| [Wendall] says: Oh! That’s the belt I made! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Yummy. |
| [Ingarath] says: "With dark heart...and dark leather...we contemplate life." |
| Cogitatus chuckles in response to Trinn. |
| [Rheyann] says: Yeah... |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Arrish keeps looking at the former ninja gnome. |
| [Strand] says: I can't have more than ten minutes of this next. |
| Cogitatus laughs at Ingarath. |
| Trinn crosses her arms over her chest, looking irritated. |
| Jubbyjubby flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Wow.. |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| Ingarath looks at Trinn amusedly. |
| [Nim] says: Neat! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I look cooler! |
| Nadeshiko gasps. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ha ha ha! Nim! |
| Jubbyjubby cheers at Nim! |
| Nim cheers at Nadeshiko! |
| [Trinn] says: Fine. Want leather? Fine. |
| Wendall claps excitedly for Rheyann. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Wow, Mister Nim! You're so tall! |
| [Ingarath] says: He's so...tall. |
| [Arrish] says: Nadeshiko, would you like to try? |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I look cool now! |
| Nim cheers! |
| Trinn tosses back a fish. |
| [Nim] says: Y'should have some! S'neat! |
| [Meris] says: Can't decide if the log is more comfortable than sitting.. |
| [Trinn] says: DAMN. |
| Kennia shoves Wendall. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Uh... |
| Ingarath falls down laughing at Trinn. |
| [Wendall] says: Heeeyyy... |
| Strand blinks at Trinn. |
| [Arrish] says: For, er, solidarity! |
| Ingarath laughs at Trinn. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: I'm game. |
| Rheyann waves at Flit. |
| [Trinn] says: I'm not turning around. Ever. |
| [Arrish] says: Trinn is... a pirate! |
| [Flit] says: . . . |
| Nim waves at Flit. |
| Jubbyjubby waves at Flit. |
| [Wendall] says: Flit! |
| [Nim] says: Hi Flit! |
| [Jegen] says: You made it Flit! |
| Wendall greets Flit with a hearty hello! |
| [Trinn] says: I'll listen to story night backwards. |
| [Ingarath] says: Yarr, matey! I'll keelhaul your Church of the Light! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: We're Gnomes!! |
| Flit peers at all the ninjas. |
| [Flit] says: Are not! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Are too! |
| [Strand] says: Something I found out? |
| Trinn walks over and socks Ingarath on the arm. |
| [Jegen] says: One is Nim & One is Jubby |
| Ingarath blinks. "....My." |
| Kennia waves at Flit. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Gal |
| Nim can disappear at will now. Is a Ninja. |
| [Ingarath] says: ...Okay, still, it was worth it. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Here's goes nothing! |
| [Flit] says: You're too tall! |
| [Jegen] says: They ate some funny Fish... |
| Trinn looks down. "Gah!" |
| [Strand] says: I can still use spells, which means I expect... mmm. She can. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Ok gar g hine cost |
| Arrish watches with interest. |
| [Ingarath] says: My, Trinn. That's a ..... lovely hat. |
| [Nim] says: It's this neat fish! Y'should try it, Flit! |
| [Cogitatus] says: Disguises, Flit. |
| Ingarath nods solemnly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Now we're cool.. |
| Nadeshiko gulps. |
| [Arrish] says: Woh! |
| [Strand] says: Eyes /up/. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Ah, Thanks, Rheyann. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Well. |
| Cogitatus smiles at Rheyann. |
| [Flit] says: You're not Nim! |
| Trinn narrows her eyes at Ingarath. "Fireball, Strand. Fireball." |
| [Nim] says: I am! |
| [Rheyann] says: Didn't wanna waste it. |
| Jubbyjubby flexes at Flit. Oooooh so strong! |
| [Cogitatus] says: Would you like some fish? |
| [Arrish] says: Who else would like to try? |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: And I'm JJ! |
| [Ingarath] says: Hmmph. |
| [Rheyann] says: No thanks. |
| [Trinn] says: Where. Is. Arrish. |
| Meris turns to Wendall. "How long *do* those glamours really last?" |
| [Flit] says: If you're Nim, where's your hat? |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Flit! Go to Arrish and get the cool fish! |
| [Wendall] says: Asking me? |
| [Strand] says: It's possible that's her. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: I look like one of those Defias people. |
| [Nim] says: Vanished. Ninja magic. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: It makes you one. |
| Arrish inspects Trinn with interest. Or it may not be Arrish. |
| Nim nods sagely. |
| [Wendall] says: Let me think.. |
| Flit crinkles her nose, "I don't like fish." |
| [Wendall] says: I believe thirty minutes, Lady Meris. |
| Trinn peers at the ninja woman. "Arrish?" |
| Ingarath murmurs darkly under his breath, and simply walks to the fire. |
| [Flit] says: An' I'm not eatin' anythin' some weird guy tells me to. . . |
| [Strand] says: Or that could be her. |
| Arrish points at Nadeshiko and says in a good imitation of her voice, "There." |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Oooh. That's a pretty pirate outfit! |
| [Nim] says: S'safe! |
| Trinn walks over to Ingarath and drops a fish in his lap. |
| [Nim] says: Y'can trust it. |
| [Jegen] says: Ninjas EVERYWHERE! |
| Nim nods emphatically. |
| Nadeshiko points at Trinn. |
| Meris smirks at Ingarath. "Something troubling you, Ing? Or are you just tired of the masks tonight?" |
| [Cogitatus] says: FILT! It's Nim. Trust me, it's nutty ol' Nim. |
| [Rheyann] says: Filt? |
| [Ingarath] says: Oh, well. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Flit.. |
| Nim bonks Cogitatus on the noggin. Doh! |
| Cogitatus smiles at Flit. |
| [Flit] says: That's not Nim! Nim's not that tall! Or shadowy! |
| [Ingarath] says: Perhaps I resent the implication that I am less than a gentleman. |
| [Strand] says: Actually, Trinn. |
| [Nim] says: She knows its me! |
| Ingarath speaks airily, trying to prove he's bothered. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Could I enlist to be a hound after this? Or are you busy? |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Er, hello. Sorry. Didn't mean to step on you. I don't know the length of my own legs like this. |
| [Strand] says: You know how you could find out which one's Arrish? |
| [Nim] says: Right? |
| [Arrish] says: You could be tall and Shadowy, Flit. Or piratey. |
| Trinn looks over at Ingarath and grins. |
| Nim looks at Flit curiously. |
| [Ingarath] says: Hmm...looks like fish. |
| [Trinn] says: Oh please. It's like they're on a shelf. What, Strand? |
| [Flit] says: I'm pretty sure we don't accept ninjas in the Brigade. . . |
| Meris shrugs at Ingarath. "It's not always a bad thing..." |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Gah! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I'm a gnome! |
| [Ingarath] says: Now this is what I call an upgrade. |
| [Wren] says: Here we are |
| [Flit] says: I'll haveta ask the Lieutenant, though. |
| [Wendall] says: Hey Rhey. |
| [Strand] says: Start spilling secrets. |
| [Nim] says: Y'should. If y'had ninjas, y'd have no crime or anthin'. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Ok ok.. |
| [Nim] says: Ninjas are really tough. |
| [Strand] says: The one who flinches is the real Arrish. |
| [Wendall] says: Talk with that lady again? |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Yeah! |
| Jubbyjubby flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong! |
| [Trinn] says: Hm. I do like Arrish's horse. |
| [Rheyann] says: Huh? Who? |
| Arrish eyes Strand. |
| Wren greets everyone with a hearty hello! |
| [Ingarath] says: Ninja use stealth to defeat pirate... |
| [Wendall] says: the one that was dedicating herself to you. |
| Strand waves over to Wren, stealthily. |
| Meris waves to Wren from across the clearing |
| Angaelen curtsies. |
| [Arrish] says: We vastly outnumber the pirate. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Flit] says: You're not Gnomes! Gnomes are respectable! An' not all gangly an' such! |
| [Ingarath] says: Boo. |
| [Strand] says: I'm on the pirate's side. |
| [Trinn] says: THAT is Arrish. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Dance like nobody's watching! |
| Nadeshiko dances with Lucasta. |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Trinn. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Gar ok zah |
| [Nim] says: 'm plenty respectable! |
| [Trinn] says: GAH! |
| [Rheyann] says: Oh. Nope. Haven't seen her. She probably mentioned that she works for me and got herself killed. |
| [Wren] says: My...this clearing is packed to the brim with stealthiness tonite |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Gal |
| [Nim] says: Look! I got m'wrench! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] O buma Havagun |
| Wendall laughs. |
| [Wendall] says: Why would that be? |
| [Jegen] says: And? |
| Rheyann shrugs. Who knows? |
| [Flit] says: You coulda stolen that wrench! |
| Arrish smirks faintly. |
| Strand reaches over and takes Trinn's hand, firmly. |
| [Rheyann] says: Most people don't like me? |
| [Ingarath] says: My dark heart yearns for leather! And poetry! |
| [Wendall] says: there you go a'shrugging again. |
| [Ingarath] says: ...And stealth. |
| [Wendall] says: That’s not true.. |
| [Jegen] says: Just because you can speak Gnomish doesn't prove a case... |
| Meris Enjoying yourself, Ing? |
| Wendall salutes Eggbowl with respect. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Protos dagem buma Havagun costirm algos ti thulmane |
| Eggbowl waves. |
| [Arrish] says: Dark leather poetry. All right. |
| [Ingarath] says: When am I not, Meris? |
| [Meris] says: With the ... leather and all. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: [Gnomish] Lo algos frend um ti ti havis gefrunon |
| [Flit] says: An lots of people speak Gnomish! 'S the language of engineerin'! |
| Trinn glares at Strand. Or she thinks it's Strand. |
| [Ingarath] says: Leather's a rogue's best friend. |
| [Ingarath] says: I told ya that already. |
| [Cogitatus] says: I thought that was mathematics, Flit. |
| [Jegen] says: Both! |
| [Flit] says: Yeah, that too. |
| Eggbowl salutes Flit with respect. |
| [Wendall] says: When’s this thing start, anyway? |
| Meris shoots Ingarath an appraising stare. "It chafes..." |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Alright alright.. |
| [Ingarath] says: Ninjas! We must unite to destroy our ancient enemy! |
| [Nim] says: Well, 'll tell y'th'truth. 'm not actually Nim. |
| Cogitatus playfully sticks his tongue out at Flit. |
| Jegen waves at Eggbowl. |
| [Rheyann] says: Twenty four minutes ago. |
| [Strand] says: I like you better in armor, or in something I've sewn, but there's not a thing in the world could change your beauty. |
| Flit salutes Eggbowl with respect. |
| Jegen gasps at Nim. |
| [Wendall] says: Well im ready to go! |
| [Nim] says: 'm actually a Furbolg! |
| Nim roars. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Wendall! |
| [Meris] says: I prefer enhanced linens myself. Feels more ... aesthetic. |
| Trinn gives the ninja a speculative look. |
| Eggbowl mimics the magic used. |
| Arrish laughs softly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: It's JJ! |
| Ingarath overhears Strand, and winces. |
| Wendall glances up. |
| Jegen double gasps! |
| [Flit] says: I knew it! I knew you weren't really Nim! |
| Angaelen smiles, hearing Strand's words. |
| [Wendall] says: Ah.. |
| Jubbyjubby lies down. |
| Cogitatus laughs at Flit. |
| Nim waves at Eggbowl. |
| Ingarath eyes Meris. "Feh." |
| Strand looks back, definite. |
| [Nim] says: Hi, Furbolg Buddy! |
| Jubbyjubby lies down. |
| Rheyann lets forth a sharp whistle. |
| [Angaelen] says: Wait ... Both furbolgs ...? |
| [Eggbowl] says: Howdy! |
| Angaelen blinks. |
| [Rheyann] says: Where's the stories?! |
| [Flit] says: You're some kinda bear thingy! |
| [Nim] says: This is m'buddy. Other Furbolg. |
| Nim gestures behind him. |
| Wren glances apologetically at Angaelen. "There not usually nearly this many ninjas... or err furbolgs" |
| [Ingarath] says: One thing at a time, ma'am. |
| Trinn gasps. |
| Wendall waves at you. |
| Wendall greets you with a hearty hello! |
| Strand looks intensely relieved. |
| [Trinn] says: Strand!! |
| [Ingarath] says: We'll get started momentarily. |
| [Lucasta] says: They certainly look like Furbolg.... |
| [Strand] says: Trinn! |
| Arrish gives Ingarath an apologetic look. Or one of the male ninjas, at least. |
| Trinn hugs him tightly. |
| [Nim] says: Oh, I definitely am! |
| Strand hugs back. |
| [Jegen] says: Without Ninjas, I hope |
| Nim nods emphatically. |
| [Eggbowl] says: From the howling emptiness of the Twisting Nether, I call thee, Archimago! Hearken to me, O Kitty of the Void! |
| Eggbowl summons his familiar. |
| Meris heaves a sigh. "Looks like it's starting to wear off already..." |
| Angaelen asides "Until today I had not heard of such a thing as a Ninja, so I must admit my defeat." |
| Trinn jumps back after a minute. "Wait. You're just hugging the /pirate/." |
| [Flit] says: He's sneaky, miss! Be careful! He was impersonatin' Nim before! |
| [Strand] says: No, I'm hugging the /paladin/. |
| Ingarath eyes Arrish. |
| Angaelen curtsies. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I've got a story to tell! |
| Ingarath flexes at Arrish. Oooooh so strong! |
| Angaelen blinks, spying the tree banner. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Trinn tugs at her hair. "Longer hair isn't bad." |
| Angaelen curtsies before Strand. |
| Angaelen kneels before Strand. |
| Arrish looks deeply amused. Perhaps. It's hard to tell behind the mask. |
| [Jegen] says: wait your turn there, we haven't started yet |
| Strand glances back, and smiles. |
| [Arrish] says: Ingarath, I presume? |
| Strand bows before Angaelen. |
| Ingarath claps his hands loudly. |
| Cogitatus sits patiently. |
| [Nim] says: Are we startin' th'stories? |
| Wendall smiles at you. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Meris examines Wendall's head. "Get into a fight?" |
| [Ingarath] says: Okay, everyone! |
| [Flit] says: I dunno. Hardly anybody's here but ninjas. . . |
| Strand then touches Trinn's hair. "It's not red, so not as good. All right." |
| [Ingarath] says: How about we all gather around the fire, or thereabouts. |
| [Wendall] says: Yeah... Kennia was training me.. |
| [Nim] says: 'm 'ere! and 'm notta ninja! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I'm a gnome! See? |
| [Wendall] says: we were dueling, she beat me around pretty good and a Defias came up behind me and knocked me on the head. |
| [Kennia] says: What Huh? |
| [Flit] says: You're not a Gnome! |
| Trinn sits down, still casting odd looks down at her chest. |
| [Jegen] says: oo! Can I say something before we start? |
| Strand beckons Angaelen and Wren up closer, cheerfully. |
| Nim looks down at himself and grins. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Yes I am! |
| [Kennia] says: Oh That |
| [Nim] says: I am too a gnome! |
| Meris arches a brow at Wendall. "It'll heal, then... |
| [Ingarath] says: Well. Thank you, Arrish, for the fun and games. |
| Flit glares angrily at Nim. |
| [Nim] says: 'm just takin' a break from bein' a gnome s'all! |
| Kennia roils her eyes |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Wendall] says: Yup! Thanks for your concern though Meris. |
| [Kennia] says: It was a little Cut |
| [Flit] says: Nobody would do that, that's crazy! |
| Trinn smiles back at Lucasta. "We met! I looked different." |
| [Ingarath] says: I, for one, am enjoying my time as a ninja. |
| Arrish peers over at Trinn. "It's very thorough." |
| Trinn turns to look at Arrish very slowly, though pirate-face cannot convey the true depth of emotion. |
| [Ingarath] says: Welcome, once again, to story night. |
| Jegen cheers! |
| [Wendall] says: I really appreciate the concern Meris, its touching. |
| Wendall nods at you. |
| [Ingarath] says: Soon, the members of the Dark Rose Clan will arise to avenge their master! |
| [Jegen] says: ...what? |
| [Ingarath] says: I mean, er. |
| Ingarath scratches his head. |
| Trinn tilts her head at Ingarath. |
| Flit grumbles, "Darned Ninjas. . . " |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Pirate! |
| [Eggbowl] says: Arise? As in from their graves? |
| [Nim] says: Hey! S'nothin' wrong with Ninjas! |
| [Ingarath] says: To those of you who are new here, please, allow me to welcome you. |
| Angaelen blinks her head quizzically at Ingarath. |
| [Nim] says: Come sit over 'ere, Flit. I saved y'a seat! |
| Arrish mumbles something about Trinn having company now. |
| Angaelen curtsies. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| Cogitatus moves to get out of Flit's way, then smiles at her. |
| [Flit] says: I'm not sittin' by you, mister! You better tell me what you did with Nim! |
| [Ingarath] says: My name is Ingarath Melforgan, and I try to be your host, along with that serious looking woman over there, Meris. |
| Trinn grumbles under her breath. |
| [Nim] says: I am Nim! |
| Meris sort of half waves to Ingarath. |
| [Jegen] says: I told you, Funny Fish |
| Cogitatus sighs at Flit. |
| [Nim] says: Yeah, s'funny fish. |
| Flit glares again in Nim's direction. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Arr..I'm a pirate! To the poop deck.. |
| [Meris] says: Too much drinking at the Laughing Jester has me a tad hungover of late. |
| Angaelen curtsies in turn to Meris and Ingarath. |
| Angaelen kneels before you. |
| Nim blinks over at Flit. |
| [Ingarath] says: Now, let us begin, as we always do. |
| [Nim] says: C'mon! S'me! |
| Strand waves across the fire to Xenkore. |
| [Jegen] says: ooo! I want to go! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I got a story!! |
| Xenkore nods at Strand. |
| Meris peers over in Nim's direction. |
| [Ingarath] says: I would ask for a volunteer. A volunteer who will rise to avenge the master! To smash the hated Gilded Thorn clan! |
| [Trinn] says: Ingarath. |
| [Jegen] says: ...Or how about a story? |
| Ingarath coughs, shaking his head. |
| Cogitatus looks at Ingarath oddly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Isn't this a story thing? |
| [Ingarath] says: ...Yes, that works too. |
| [Meris] says: Gilded Thorn Clan? |
| Arrish covers her mouth, laughing. |
| [Strand] says: I may not eat any more of these. |
| [Rheyann] says: I'm good at clan smashing... |
| Jubbyjubby raises a hand. |
| Jegen raises his hand |
| [Ingarath] says: Jegen, why don't you rise, then? |
| Strand gives Trinn a somewhat concerned look. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I got a story.. |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Angaelen holds her hand in front of her face. |
| Jubbyjubby snaps his fingers and sits down. |
| Arrish finds the mask and looks disconcerted. |
| [Ingarath] says: You can go next. |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| Ingarath smiles at Jubbyjubby |
| Lucasta looks bewildered. Actually, she's been looking bewildered since she walked into this clearing. |
| Ingarath bows before Jegen. |
| Cogitatus begins listening to Jegen. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: OUTTA HERE PIG! |
| Ingarath murmurs, "Goretusk ancient enemy of Ninja." |
| Flit sticks her tongue out at the bad Nim impersonator. |
| Jubbyjubby listens intently to Jegen. |
| [Jegen] says: Alrighty! For those that Remember me, Hullo again, for those I have not met, The name's Jegen Sparkwhistle |
| [Drahliana] says: if you kill it, then skin and eat it. |
| Nim glances over at Flit, hurt that she doesn't believe him and refuses to sit next to him. |
| Nadeshiko waves at Jegen. |
| [Nim] says: Bein' a ninja stinks... |
| Nim mutters quietly. |
| [Eggbowl] says: I am not hungry. |
| Meris blinks at Jegen. |
| [Jegen] says: Today Is extra special, since I not only have a story, but its also my Birthday! |
| Wendall closes his eyes and leans to the right. |
| Jubbyjubby cheers at Jegen! |
| Rheyann claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Happy birthday! |
| Cogitatus claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Flit] says: You better notta done anythin' t'Nim, mister! |
| [Ingarath] says: Happy birthday! |
| Jubbyjubby claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Lucasta] says: I's going to smell burnt. |
| Jubbyjubby claps excitedly. |
| [Meris] says: How old do gnomes get, anyway? |
| [Eggbowl] says: Happy birthday! |
| Jegen thanks everyone. |
| Trinn claps, then covers her chest again. |
| Angaelen claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: 350 Meris! |
| [Eggbowl] says: We don't get old. We just get wise. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I'm 243! |
| Strand digs around in his pack. |
| [Drahliana] says: Depends some may not get old at all. |
| Flit giggles at Eggbowl. |
| Cogitatus mutters to Flit. "Flit, its Nim.... Oh, nevermind, just listen to the stories." |
| [Meris] says: But you, Jegen.. what year are *you* on? |
| Nim looks over and nods in agreement with Cogitatus. |
| [Jegen] says: Alrighty, For those who remember my last tale of my Misadventures, this is gonna be just as good, If you haven't heard on yet, this is a treat! |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| [Jegen] says: It all began in Ashenvale not too long ago, when I was trying to get that Furblog stick thing for a Elf, While I was looking for the staff part, I happened on a smell, undead fellow, of the nasty sorts |
| Nim waves at Flit. |
| Flit blinks at Nim. |
| Nim beckons Flit over. |
| Ingarath wonders which undead aren't of the nasty smelling sort... |
| [Jegen] says: A warlock, and a not too bright one, or so I thought. He had this little thingy that look like a demon & rat mixed together. not that Scary. I was going to leave them be, but that little thing shot a small fireball at me. I was not to impressed by that |
| Nim leans over and whispers to Flit. |
| Flit whispers to Nim. |
| [Jegen] says: So I decided to show it was a REAL fireball was. Suffice to say, It was toasted good |
| Jubbyjubby lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Jegen] says: The warlock fellow didn't like that much... |
| Ingarath laughs at Trinn softly. |
| Trinn looks incredibly relieved, then concentrates on Jegen again. |
| Flit looks skeptically at Nim. |
| Eggbowl uncorks a bottle of conjured water, and sips it as he listens. |
| Strand looks relieved himself, and reaches over to take Trinn's hand. |
| Lucasta smiles at Trinn. |
| [Jegen] says: He started casting some kind of spell at me, I could tell this because his hands were glowy, a sure-fire sign of magic!...or a rather nasty radiation problem, one of the two...anyway, it was a spell. A curse to be more exact |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Jegen. |
| Arrish looks sidelong at Trinn, inscrutable. |
| Wendall smiles at Kennia. |
| Nadeshiko sighs at Arrish. |
| [Jegen] says: I raised a magic shield, expecting the worse, and he finished the spell and!....Nothing happened. he just laughed and started walking away. Rather be laughed at, I thought about simply Giving him a good bonk to the noggin with my staff |
| Nadeshiko shifts to get more comfortable. |
| Jubbyjubby scratches his butt. |
| [Jegen] says: That didn't go so well. The curse was placed on my staff, as I later figured out, every time I swung it, it came back and smacked me in the face hard. To which that undead fellow found to be most amusing |
| Jubbyjubby laughs under his breath. |
| Flit winces |
| Arrish looks innocent, and listens intently to Jegen, wincing a bit at the description of the curse. |
| Xenkore takes a few steps back, and heads off. |
| Trinn snorts at Arrish's reappearance. |
| Nim looks over at Jegen, listening intently to the story. |
| [Jegen] says: A elf walked by and saw a Undead almost rolling on the ground laughing and this poor Gnome, me, clonking himself in the face with his staff. She just kind of backed up the way she was coming, not helping one bit. I'm not too sure why... |
| Kennia sighs |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Elves.... |
| Wendall pulls out his notebook, examining a few pages. |
| Flit nods. |
| Cogitatus chuckles quietly. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Eggbowl] says: The wind probably caught her ears. |
| Jubbyjubby starts his way to the log. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Or she had to bless somebody..holy freaks.. |
| Lucasta eyes Eggbowl. |
| Arrish waves a little to Angaelen with the tips of her fingers, flashing her a small smile. |
| Eggbowl shrugs. Who knows? |
| [Jegen] says: a Few good bonks later, I was fed up, and decided to toss the staff away...again, not that good of a plan. I couldn't let go of the staff, and when I tried to throw it, it became more of a long distance missile... |
| Kennia smiles at the gnome |
| Strand winces. |
| Ingarath 's eyes widen. |
| [Flit] says: Ouch. . . |
| Nim winces too. |
| Angaelen bows her head slightly, noting the movement in the corner of her eye. |
| Jubbyjubby winces too, just to fit in! |
| [Jegen] says: This poor Orc walking down the path sees me go rushing by at a very high speed, and my Black smith hammer fell out of my pocket, I'm not sure where it hit him, but he screamed in a very high pitched voice |
| Wendall grins at Kennia. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Uh-oh.... |
| [Flit] says: Oh dear. . . |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Right in the package.. |
| Ingarath winces. |
| Eggbowl leans over and whispers to Jubbyjubby. |
| Kennia looks over at the Boars |
| Jubbyjubby mumbles under his breath "Hate bein hit in the shits.." |
| Jubbyjubby nods and whispers back. |
| [Lucasta] says: The package? Oh. |
| Jubbyjubby whispers with a hand over his mouth. |
| Eggbowl smiles. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Ye--you get the idea. |
| Jubbyjubby nods at Eggbowl. |
| A sly smirk spreads across Wendall's face. |
| [Jegen] says: So there I was whizzing around Ashenvale for a good half hour, eventually not being bothering too much by the experience, I was getting a great tour of the forest....despite the speed I was moving. |
| Angaelen allows a restrained smirk of mirth as the gnome continues his tale. |
| [Jegen] says: I slowly got the hang of steering the blasted thing, and for fun I was whizzing in and out of the Orc encampment, making the guards run back and forth along the entire thing, never once catching me |
| Lucasta hisses "Can't you sit still?" to Twilight. |
| Cogitatus listens in amusement. |
| [Jegen] says: I suppose I got a little too cocky though, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going anymore, and *wham*, I plowed my staff into a tree |
| Jubbyjubby winces and laughs a bit. |
| Strand winces again. |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Ouch. |
| [Jegen] says: bark shrapnel everywhere... |
| Jubbyjubby cracks half a smile. |
| Jubbyjubby whispers to Eggbowl. |
| [Jegen] says: When I came too, I could hear some Orcs looking for me, they still weren’t too impressed with my earlier stunt. I didn't have time to grab my staff before they got there, and jumping into a near-by bush instead |
| Angaelen winces, chuckling slightly. |
| Ingarath looks to Elaran and smiles broadly. |
| Elaran smiles at Ingarath. |
| Eggbowl whispers back, chuckling. |
| Arrish smiles at Elaran. |
| [Jegen] says: One of them decided THEY wanted the staff now. This is the fun part. The curse was still there, and HE didn't know about it. Suppose the staff acts differently if friends are near by... |
| Nim waves at Elaran. |
| Wren waves at Elaran. |
| Strand waves to Elaran. |
| Elaran smiles at Arrish. |
| Jubbyjubby whispers back. |
| Cogitatus chuckles quietly. |
| Jubbyjubby takes a breath and whispers again. |
| Elaran nods at Strand. |
| Flit scratches her nose. |
| [Jegen] says: So for the next ten minutes I watched this big Orc swinging wildly, Knocked a troll clean through some shrubs, clonked a poor Tauren good, knocked him out cold, and the whole time I was sitting there laughing myself stupid |
| [Arrish] says: Oh dear. |
| Eggbowl whispers back. |
| [Flit] says: Uh oh. . . |
| Jubbyjubby nods with shut eyes. |
| Nim fidgets a little, still listening. |
| Angaelen lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| Ingarath grins. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I bet he goes pee pee and gets caught! |
| Cogitatus chuckles quietly. |
| Drahliana permits herself a slight smile |
| [Eggbowl] says: I very much doubt this story will end, "And that's how I lost my right hand." |
| [Jegen] says: Then the fellow that started the whole thing walked by, and I have no idea why, but Orc decided it would be best to toss the staff to him. So now there’s an Orc flying through the trees |
| Jubbyjubby laughs at Eggbowl. |
| Elaran listens intently to Jegen. |
| Kennia hands Wendall a Stack of Leather |
| Wendall smiles at Kennia. |
| [Jegen] says: They are nowhere near as graceful. He disappeared for five minutes, and when I saw him again, He had a rabbit biting his foot, some raccoon like thing running all over his head, dirt and tree bits all over his body, what looked like claw marks from a bear |
| Jubbyjubby checks his pocket watch, still listening. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Sounds like it hurt! |
| Cogitatus is suppressing a grin. |
| [Jegen] says: I don' speak Orcish by any means, but I guess by the way he was talking to the undead fellow, who was again laughing to hard to breathe, he wanted the staff fixed. A large Orc with a Axe can be convincing, I suppose, and he 'nicely' fixed it |
| Elaran quietly snickers to herself. |
| [Rheyann] says: [Thelassian] Talah Diel |
| Rheyann primes a Frostbolt for |
| [Cogitatus] says: Heheheheheh.... |
| Arrish murmurs puzzledly, "Do undead breathe?" |
| Eggbowl excuses himself. |
| Rheyann spazzes. |
| Edeonis scratches his beard. |
| [Jegen] says: as soon as he could, he tossed it as far into the forest as possible, leaving me to go find it, but I had it back at last. It was actually stuck near the part I was originally looking for before I ran into the warlock, so it was a Win-Win situation |
| [Jegen] says: I never saw the undead fellow again though... |
| Cogitatus chuckles quietly again. |
| Lucasta looks dubious. |
| [Jegen] says: but anyway, that’s the end of my tale |
| Jegen bows down graciously. |
| Flit claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Nyidi applauds at Jegen. Bravo! |
| Elaran claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Jubbyjubby claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: My turn my turn! |
| Nadeshiko claps excitedly. |
| Trinn smiles at Jegen and claps. |
| Wren applauds. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you for sharing, Jegen! |
| Cogitatus applauds at Jegen. Bravo! |
| Strand claps excitedly. |
| Angaelen claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Meris claps for Jegen. |
| [Jegen] says: anytime |
| Edeonis claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| Arrish claps excitedly for Jegen. |
| [Ingarath] says: And, uh...yes, it's your turn. |
| Angaelen smiles at Jegen. |
| Drahliana claps excitedly for Elaran. |
| Nim claps excitedly. |
| Lucasta claps excitedly. |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| Ingarath beckons Jubbyjubby over. |
| Meris glances over to Elaran and half waves. |
| Elaran peers at Jubbyjubby searchingly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Alright, for all of you who don't know me, my name is JubbyJubby SparkPlug! |
| Agahmath approaches sheepishly, hopping off his steed and dismissing it back to the Twisting Nether. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: But you can call me JJ. |
| Elaran smiles at you. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: This is my first story and I'm a little nervous.. |
| Cogitatus smiles as he listens to JJ. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I'll be sharing a story of my old days in the war! |
| Elaran blinks at Jubbyjubby. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Ok.. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Here we go! |
| Angaelen nods in encouragement. |
| Nim crosses his arms over his chest, looking at JJ. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The day was cold and wet. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: We were sitting up in the mountains, waiting for the attack. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I was stationed on the cannon, and to attack anything that moved that got within 100 feet. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Our scouts hadn't returned yet, so things were getting weird. |
| Cogitatus furrows his brow, but remains silent. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: But then they came! The Orcs began rushing in! |
| Elaran mutters quietly..."oops." |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I pulled back the rope on the cannon, making a big BOOM sound, and the Orc flew into the air! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: My buddy Ralphy picked up his rifle and shot at the advancing 3 Orcs! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: He hit one! Plop! It fell to the ground bleeding. |
| Nadeshiko bites her lip. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The cannon was reloaded and I pulled the string back again and fired another big bang! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The Orcs didn't stop coming and the other Gnomes and Dwarves kept shooting their guns! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The sounds were getting unbearable, and I thought I was going deaf, the only sound I could hear was screaming of Orcs and booms from guns and cannons! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I shot the cannon another time! The group of Orcs got blown into the air! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: They came up on top of the mountains and had bows! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: They shot my friend Broley in the side with an arrow..and he..died |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I picked up the weight of my trusty rifle, and shot down an Orc. |
| Ingarath frowns. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The cannon was taking too long to reload! Causing more and more Orcs to rush in! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: They were coming in groups of ten! Then twenty! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The rifles were taking too long to shoot! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The cannon was finally reloaded! Giving us more time! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I fired the cannon one more time! Blasting away more advancing Orcs! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The ones with the bows were still firing! I dodged about two arrows and got hit in the shoulder! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I took aim and shot another! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The Orcs began to bring wolves...and armored warriors... |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: They broke through the barriers and our bullets were doing nothing because of the numbers they came in! |
| Wren greets Ragesong warmly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Another explosion went off! It was another cannon! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: They brang help! |
| Cogitatus listens intently. |
| Ragesong waves at Wren. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: A crew behind us was supplying reinforcements, and we had to fall back. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: We turned our backs and ran for cover, and were being slaughtered! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: My buddy Ralphy and me dived behind a rock. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: We thought we were safe as we peaked over and shot them as they were coming! |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Then they saw us, we were blown! |
| Agahmath waves at Ragesong. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Ralphy pushed me down and we were back to back defending ourselves! |
| Vindalf sits down quietly |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: The Orcs came in so close you could feel their warm smelly breath on your neck. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: There had to be 9..maybe 11 around us. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: One slashed my chest leaving this |
| Angaelen nods, as the recitation continues. |
| Nim continues listening, arms still crossed. |
| Meris waves to Kyltania. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I got beaten and cut, but managed to finish them off with a explosive I had tucked away. |
| Agahmath winces a bit, listening attentively. |
| Cogitatus cringes just *looking* at the scar. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I began cheering with delight and joy! |
| Arrish says quietly, "Ouch." |
| Kyltania smiles at you. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I turned to cheer at Ralphy but he...was dead. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: He died from the advancing group and they got him. |
| Cogitatus listens solemnly. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: So I shared my joy with myself and some hot cocoa back at the camp. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: And..that's my story! |
| Sullivan lowers his head slightly. |
| Jubbyjubby bows down graciously. |
| Meris whispers to Kyltania. |
| Wren claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| Agahmath applauds at Jubbyjubby. Bravo! |
| Flit blinks at Jubbyjubby. |
| Elaran claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Thank you. |
| Angaelen applauds at Jubbyjubby. Bravo! |
| Kyltania claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| Drahliana claps excitedly. |
| Jubbyjubby sits down and waits for another story. |
| Strand claps excitedly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you! Thank you for sharing with us. |
| Jegen claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| Trinn claps excitedly. |
| Nim claps excitedly. |
| Flit claps excitedly for Jubbyjubby. |
| Ingarath looks around the circle. |
| Cogitatus claps excitedly. |
| Lucasta claps excitedly. |
| Jubbyjubby cheers! |
| Meris smiles at Jubbyjubby. |
| Arrish blinks, then applauds. |
| Nadeshiko smiles. |
| [Ingarath] says: Who would rise next in defense of culture and the arts? |
| Nim leans over and whispers to Nadeshiko. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| Nadeshiko giggles. |
| Wren raises her hand |
| Trinn smiles at Wren. |
| Strand looks back over his shoulder, and grins. |
| Meris looks over to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: I think I may have something to share |
| Nim nods at Nadeshiko. |
| [Ingarath] says: Wren! Lovely. |
| Wren smiles. |
| [Ingarath] says: I haven't heard you speak in a very long time. |
| Cogitatus smiles as he turns his attention to Wren. |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Nim looks over at the people gathered before whispering back to Nadeshiko. |
| Flit gives Jegen a puzzled look. |
| Elaran peers around Ingarath's leg at Wren. |
| Nadeshiko beams at Nim. |
| Kyltania nods at you. |
| Ingarath backs up, blushing a bit. |
| [Wren] says: I save it all up for one big show at a time |
| Angaelen nods to the woman who led her this way. |
| [Wren] says: Anyway |
| [Wren] says: In my travels I often run to folks who just have to share their stories with me |
| [Wren] says: This one was told to me by a traveling merchant |
| [Wren] says: Chatty fellow |
| [Wren] says: But a good storyteller |
| Flit smiles at Wren. |
| Nim looks over at Wren, listening politely and smiling a bit. |
| [Wren] says: So his is the one I'll share tonite |
| Arrish turns her head to listen curiously to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: As best as I can remember it |
| Katinker greets everyone with a hearty hello! |
| Katinker hugs Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Once in the city of Stormwind there lived a young man named Allain, who had a wife named Elise. He knew no special craft or trade, but he had a shovel and a pick - and as he often told his wife, |
| [Wren] says: "If you can dig a hole, you can always earn enough to stay alive" |
| Trinn grins at Wren. |
| Katinker waves at Wren. |
| Cogitatus grins while listening to Wren. |
| Ingarath listens intently to Wren. |
| Katinker smiles at Wren. |
| Wren waves at Katinker. |
| Flit scratches her head and whispers to Jegen. |
| Arrish smiles faintly and a bit wryly, nodding as she listens to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: That was enough for Allain (he wasn't one for high expectations) But it was not enough for Elise. |
| Katinker grins wickedly at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Whenever it was in town, Elise visited the Darkmoon Faire, eager to hear the stories from far off lands and for a chance to see the wares the merchants brought with them. |
| Elaran listens intently to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Everytime she visited the faire she'd see the line of people waiting to get their fortune told, and jealously would she watch as they handed over their silver to the seer. |
| [Wren] says: One evening when Allain handed her his wages for the day (for she'd long ago decided he was incapable of handling his own money) |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: she said "Look at these few measly coins! I won't put up with this any longer. Tomorrow you'll sit in the marketplace and be a fortuneteller!" |
| Elaran blinks at Wren. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Uh-oh.... |
| Angaelen nods, blinking, her eyes widening. |
| [Wren] says: "Elise, are you mad?" said Allain. "What do I know about fortunetelling?" |
| Lucasta grins. |
| Agahmath snickers quietly to himself, covering his mouth politely. |
| Arrish murmurs, "Speaking of digging holes." |
| Meris lets out a laugh, nudging Kyltania. |
| Strand laughs, intrigued. |
| [Wren] says: "You don't need to know a thing, " said Elise. "When anyone brings you a question, you just throw some dice and mumble something that sounds wise. It's either that or I'm leaving you!" |
| Flit blinks at Jegen. |
| Kyltania smirks slyly at you. |
| Flit blushes slightly. |
| [Wren] says: And for whatever reason Allain truly loved Elise and wanted her to be happy. |
| Nim glances over at Flit and Jegen whispering and puts a finger to his lips, pointing to Wren |
| [Wren] says: So the next day, Allain sold his shovel and his pick and bought the dice and the board and the robe of a fortuneteller. Then he sat in the marketplace near the Stormwind bank. |
| [Wren] says: Hardly had he gotten settled when there ran up to him a frantic young night elf priest. |
| [Wren] says: "Fortuneteller, you must help me! I wore my most precious ring when I went swimming in the lake near Goldshire today, and now it's missing, tell me where it is!" |
| Angaelen covers her mouth, listening intently as the sense of impending doom of the protagonist steadily grows. |
| [Elaran] says: Oh, bugger. |
| [Wren] says: Allain gulped and cast the dice. As he desperately searched for something wise to say, he happened to glace up at the lady's cloak. There he spied a small hole. |
| Katinker waves at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Thinking he could at least tell the young lady that she needed to do some mending but not wanting to embarrass the priest, Allain leaned forward and whispered urgently, "Madam, I see a hole." |
| [Wren] says: "A what?" asked the elf, leaning closer. "A hole! A hole!" The priest smiled brightly. "Of COURSE! A hole!" |
| [Wren] says: She rushed back to the lake and found the hole in the tree she had hidden her ring for safekeeping and forgotten it. Then she came back to Allain. |
| Meris draws her knees up to her chest, listening intently |
| Elaran chuckles quietly. |
| [Wren] says: "Elune be praised!" she said. "You knew just where it was!" And to Allain's amazement, she gave him a gold coin |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Wren. |
| Angaelen stifles a chuckle. |
| Cogitatus suppresses a smirk. |
| Agahmath gives a soft chuckle, running his hand through his beard. |
| Jubbyjubby scratches his rough beard. |
| [Wren] says: That evening when Elise saw the gold coin and heard the story, she said "You see? There's nothing to it!" |
| [Wren] says: "Luck was on my side today" said Allain "but I dare not test it on another!" |
| [Wren] says: "Nonsense, " said Elise. "If you want to keep your wife, you'll be back at your table tomorrow." |
| [Wren] says: Now it happened that on that very night, one of the wealthiest merchants in Stormwind was robbed Forty pairs of hands carried away forty chests of gold, jewels and valuable merchandise of varying kinds. |
| [Wren] says: The theft was reported the next day but no evidence could be found and it was feared that the thieves would never be caught. |
| [Wren] says: Now the merchant had heard about the fortuneteller who had found the ring for the young priest. So he sent two of his hired thugs to the marketplace to bring Allain, who appeared trembling before him. |
| Agahmath covers his mouth, shoulders bouncing with laughter. |
| [Wren] says: "Fortuneteller" said the merchant, "my businesses have been robbed of forty chests. What can you tell me about the thieves?" |
| Arrish murmurs, "Oh dear." |
| Elaran listens intently to Wren. |
| Flit nods at Jegen. |
| [Wren] says: Allain thought quickly about forty chests being carried away "Sir, I can tell you there were…forty thieves" |
| Cogitatus shakes his head and mutters "I'da just left her." |
| [Wren] says: "Amazing!" said the merchant "No one has been able to find out even this much! But now you must find the thieves and the treasure" |
| Trinn covers her mouth to hide a grin at Cogitatus' comment. |
| Angaelen chuckles quietly, one hand holding her side, the other hand covering her mouth. |
| Strand gives Cogitatus a look that somehow combines indignation and sympathy. |
| [Wren] says: Allain looked from side to side at the hulking figures of the merchant's goons and felt faint. "I'll ..do my best. But…but it will take some time" |
| [Wren] says: "How long?" the merchant demanded. "Why..er..um..that is to say… forty days, uh, sir" said Allain, guessing the longest her could get "one day for each thief" |
| [Wren] says: "A long time indeed!" said the merchant "Very well, you shall have it. If you succeed, I'll make you rich. If you don't…well you can probably guess." |
| [Wren] says: Allain felt his legs almost give way underneath him as the two menacing thugs broke into grins of anticipation. |
| Arrish nods a little to Cogitatus. |
| Nadeshiko gasps and leans forward to see Wren more clearly. |
| [Elaran] says: "Hon, I'm afraid we have to move to an island...or you won't have a husband for long." |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Elaran. |
| Cogitatus nods back at Arrish and smiles, then turns his attention to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Back home, Allain told Elise " you see the trouble you've caused? In forty days, I'm going to be a target dummy for a couple of the merchant's hired "guards" |
| Cogitatus laughs at Elaran. |
| Arrish smiles impishly to Elaran. |
| Jubbyjubby laughs at Wren. |
| Angaelen grins wickedly at Elaran. |
| Elaran smiles at Wren. |
| Wren grins at Elaran |
| [Wren] says: "Nonsense," said Elise. "Just find the chests like you found the ring" "I'm telling you Elise, I found nothing! That was sheer luck, but this time there's no hope" |
| Nim leans in, listening to the story wide-eyed. |
| [Wren] says: Allain took some dried cherries, counted out forty, and placed them in a jar. "I will eat one of these cherries each evening. That will tell me when my forty days are done" |
| Sullivan hides a smirk as he ponders the outcome. |
| Jubbyjubby leans in closer, wide eyed. |
| [Wren] says: Now it happened that one of the merchant's servants was one of the forty thieves, and he had heard the merchant speak with Allain. |
| Jubbyjubby farts and points at Kyltania. |
| [Wren] says: That same evening, he hurried to the thieves' meeting place and reported to their chief. "There is a diviner who says he will find the treasure and the thieves in forty days!" |
| [Cogitatus] says: An inside job. |
| Angaelen nods, curious to the outcome. |
| Kyltania stares Jubbyjubby down. |
| Kyltania smells Jubbyjubby. Wow, someone stinks! |
| Angaelen nods at Cogitatus. |
| Wren nods at Cogitatus "Just so" |
| Kyltania looks at Jubbyjubby and groans. |
| Meris quirks a brow at Kyltania. |
| [Wren] says: "He's bluffing," said the chief. "But we can't afford to take chances. Go to his house and find out what you can" |
| Kyltania goes down to the lake to fish while she listens. |
| [Wren] says: So the servant climbed up to roof of Allain's house, and he listened over the window. Just then, Allain took the first cherry from the jar and ate it. He told Elise, "that's one" |
| Cogitatus laughs at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: The thief was so shocked, he nearly fell down into the street below |
| Elaran chuckles at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: He hurried back to the meeting place and told the chief, "This fortuneteller has amazing powers. Without seeing me, he knew I was on the roof! I clearly heard him say, "that's one'"" |
| Cogitatus laughs. |
| Angaelen smiles, a laugh barely restrained. |
| Agahmath chuckles at Wren. |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Wren. |
| Drahliana smiles slightly again |
| Lucasta chuckles quietly. |
| [Wren] says: "You must have imagines it" said the chief. "Tomorrow night, two of you will go" |
| Cogitatus is grinning widely as he continues to listen. |
| Flit grins wickedly at Wren. |
| Cogitatus laughs. |
| Lucasta laughs. |
| Agahmath covers his mouth. |
| Nyidi smiles |
| Traydor quietly snickers to himself. |
| [Wren] says: So the next night, the servant returned to Allain's roof with another of the thieves. As they were listening. Allain ate a second cherry and said, "that's two" |
| Elaran grins, imagining the next night. |
| Angaelen smirks slyly at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: The thieves nearly tumbled over each other as they fled the roof and raced back to the chief. "He knew there were two of us!" said the servant. "We heard him say, "That's two"" |
| Strand looks briefly abstracted and counts on his fingers. |
| Elaran giggles at Wren. |
| Trinn laughs, nodding at Wren. |
| Angaelen snickers at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: It can't be!: said the chief. So the night after that, he sent three of the thieves, and the next night four, then five, then six. |
| Angaelen giggles at Wren. |
| [Wren] says: (really it's amazing no one noticed all of them on hanging about on the roof, they weren't the best thieves around and far from silent) |
| Wren smiles |
| Strand frowns, and recounts. |
| Arrish murmurs, "And good thing that the roof was sturdy." |
| [Wren] says: And so it went until the fortieth night, when the chief said, "This time, I'll go with you myself" So all forty thieves climbed up on Allain's roof to listen. |
| [Wren] says: (It should also be said that it was a miracle that Allain's roof was up to the challenge) |
| Strand reaches a solution and winces. |
| Jubbyjubby bites his fingernails, nervous. |
| Cogitatus laughs. |
| Wren smiles at Arrish and winks |
| Elaran lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| Agahmath nods at Wren. |
| Angaelen asides absently "And the cobbles soft ..." |
| Ingarath listens intently to Wren. |
| Edeonis watches over to Arrish then to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Inside, Allain gazed at the last cherry in the jar, then sadly took it out and ate it "That's forty, the number is complete" |
| Arrish listens intently to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: Elise sat beside him and gently took his hand "Allain, during these forty days, I've been thinking. I was wrong to make you be a fortuneteller. |
| Jubbyjubby listens and bites his fingernails intently. |
| [Wren] says: You are what you are ,and I should not have tried to make you into something else. Can you forgive me?" |
| [Wren] says: "I forgive you Elise, but the fault is also mine. I should not have done what I knew was not wise..but none of this helps us now" |
| Elaran holds her head in her hands, chuckling quietly. |
| [Wren] says: Just then came a loud banging at the door. |
| Angaelen leans forward intently. |
| Agahmath raises an eyebrow, smirking. |
| [Wren] says: Allain sighed. "The merchant's men already!" He looked longingly at his closet door, wondering if he could fool them, they hadn't looked all that bright..but turned instead to unbolt the door, calling "all right, all right, I know why you're here" |
| [Wren] says: He swung open the door. To his astonishment, he saw forty men kneeling before him. |
| [Cogitatus] says: I'm surprised they didn't try to kill him. |
| Angaelen agrees with Cogitatus. |
| [Flit] says: Wow. . . |
| Wren nods "they weren't the brightest" |
| [Wren] says: "Of course you know oh great diviner!" said the chief. "Nothing can be hidden from you. But we beg you not to give us away!" |
| Cogitatus laughs at Wren. |
| Elaran groans and chuckles. |
| [Wren] says: Bewildered though he was, Allain realized that these must be the thieves. He thought fast and said, "Ahh very well! I won't turn you in…but you must..replace every bit of the stolen goods" |
| Cogitatus nods and smiles. |
| Jubbyjubby spits and said "Was all pure luck..he shoulda left her.." |
| [Wren] says: "At once! At once!" cried the chief. And before the night was through, forty pairs of hands carried forty chests of gold and jewels and err.. various other goods of value back to the merchant's warehouse. |
| Angaelen smiles, bemused. |
| [Flit] says: I wonder if that guy'd come work for the Hounds. . . . |
| [Wren] says: Early the next morning, Allain appeared before the merchant "Sir, my magic arts can find either the treasure or the thieves, but not both. Which do you choose?" |
| Cogitatus laughs at Flit. |
| [Wren] says: "The treasure, I suppose" said the merchant, "though it's a pity not to get the thieves. The boiling oil is all ready for them, and Rocko and Bruno had a whole day planned…well, nevermind. Tell me where the goods are, and I'll send my men right away" |
| Ingarath murmurs to Elaran. |
| [Wren] says: "No need!" Allain waved his arms in the air and called, "Pish posh, wish wosh, mish mosh" Then he announced, "By my magic, the chests have returned to their place" |
| Ingarath grins. |
| Elaran smirks slyly at Ingarath. |
| Flit giggles at Wren. |
| Ingarath laughs at Wren. |
| Elaran chuckles at Wren. |
| Angaelen laughs. |
| Agahmath slaps his face, groaning. |
| Cogitatus chuckles. |
| Wren grins at her audience |
| Arrish looks appreciative. |
| Nim grins to Wren. |
| [Wren] says: The merchant went himself with Allain to the warehouse and found it was so. "You truly are the greatest fortuneteller of the age!" he declared "From this day forth, you shall be my personal diviner!" |
| Strand chortles. |
| Drahliana remains silent but her eyes show a twinkle |
| [Cogitatus] says: Uh-oh.... |
| [Elaran] says: Oh, no. |
| Trinn winces. |
| Angaelen slaps her knee lightly. |
| Ingarath laughs. |
| [Wren] says: "Thank you kind sir", said Allain with a bow, "But I'm afraid that's impossible. Finding and restoring your merchandise was so difficult, it used up all my powers. I shall never be a diviner again, time to hang up the robe and call it a day" |
| Jubbyjubby falls into all out laughter "What a horse's rear end!!" |
| Jubbyjubby rolls on the floor laughing. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Good thinking. |
| [Flit] says: Awwww. |
| Cogitatus grins. |
| [Lucasta] says: Whew. |
| Bor rolls down the hill and hits the log with a loud "thud" |
| [Elaran] says: Smart guy. |
| [Bor] says: owwww! |
| [Wren] says: "what a loss!" cried the merchant "then I must doubly reward you. Here, take two of these chests for your own." So Allain returned home to Elise, safe, rich, and a good deal wiser. |
| Jubbyjubby spits "Good thinking the old coot..I still say he shoulda left her.." |
| Sullivan nods in agreement. |
| [Arrish] says: Oh, very nicely played. |
| [Wren] says: One suppose that they lived happily ever after |
| Bor stands up rubs his head and brushes off his clothes. |
| Nadeshiko nods happily. |
| [Wren] says: But with Elise...who's to say for sure |
| Jubbyjubby claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Flit applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Wren smiles. |
| Trinn applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Nadeshiko claps excitedly. |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Lucasta claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Jubbyjubby applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| [Nim] says: Those are th'best kinda endin'. Th'happy ones. |
| Wren bows down graciously. |
| Nyidi applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Jubbyjubby applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Cogitatus applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Agahmath applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Vindalf claps excitedly. |
| Angaelen applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Nadeshiko cheers! |
| Jubbyjubby claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Meris claps for Wren. |
| Nim nods emphatically, before clapping. |
| Arrish applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Edeonis rubs his bearded chin. |
| [Flit] says: Yeah! |
| Agahmath applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Jegen claps excitedly for Wren. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Elaran] says: With luck like his, it was either that or they ended up blowing up something. |
| [Ingarath] says: That was wonderful, Wren! |
| Edeonis claps excitedly for Wren. |
| [Nim] says: That was a good story though! |
| Elaran applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| Agahmath cheers at Wren! |
| Angaelen chuckles at Elaran. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you very much for sharing. |
| Strand applauds at Wren. Bravo! |
| [Wren] says: Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be sure to let that merchant know should our paths cross again |
| Lucasta whispers "Very nicely told" to Wren. |
| Nim turns between the three gnomes by him. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, let's see. I believe I will go next. |
| Elaran smiles at Ingarath. |
| [Nim] says: Oh real quick! Miss Nadeshiko, meet Flit and Mister Jegen. Flit and Jegen, meet Miss Nadeshiko! |
| Trinn looks curiously at Ingarath. |
| Jegen greets Nadeshiko with a hearty hello! |
| Flit greets Nadeshiko with a hearty hello! |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Hello Miss Flit and Mister Jegen! |
| Arrish smiles over at the gnomes. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: When's this thing over? |
| Ingarath removes a leatherbound notebook from his pocket, opens it, and flips wildly through tattered pages. |
| Jubbyjubby checks his pocket watch. |
| [Jegen] says: ..Please don't call me mister |
| [Bor] says: Amm |
| [Nadeshiko] says: Sorry, er... Jegen. |
| Nadeshiko grins hopefully. |
| Arrish arches an eyebrow at Jubbyjubby, then looks to Ingarath. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, my dear gnome friend, it depends on when we run out of speakers. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Just wondering! |
| Ingarath continues flipping. "Ah, here we are." |
| [Bor] says: I don't mean ta interrupt, but does anybody have any beer fer sale? |
| Ingarath laughs at Bor. |
| Jubbyjubby slips on his goggles and clicks a button so he can see in the dark. |
| [Ingarath] says: Hmm...perhaps we *should* have a concession stand. |
| [Bor] says: It makes stories... more interestin... |
| Meris grins at Bor. "I might have something.." |
| [Agahmath] says: Ahh. That's a dwarf! |
| [Drahliana] says: I believe that they can indulge in that desire across the lake. |
| Elaran chuckles at you. |
| [Cogitatus] says: I have fish. |
| [Ingarath] says: Unlikely, ma'am. |
| Nim looks to Jegen and shakes his head. |
| [Bor] says: Ahh, Excuse me a moment! |
| [Arrish] says: I save the beer for philosophy night. |
| [Vindalf] says: They sell not even wine here |
| Angaelen grins wickedly at Arrish. |
| Bor sprints toward the town. |
| Arrish gives Strand a mischievous look. |
| [Ingarath] says: This one does not have a title yet. |
| You have requested to trade with Bor. |
| [Drahliana] says: A Dry town by a lake bed, how ironic. |
| Shame takes out a ratty notebook and pen and begins to jot down notes. |
| [Ingarath] says: I wrote it just recently. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: This town is for the militia..not to attract the public... |
| [Ingarath] says: Haunted eyes stare through mine |
| Asherrean walks up quietly and takes a seat. |
| [Angaelen] says: Not to mention low on liquor stores anyhow ... |
| [Ingarath] says: As gentle hands reach for my worn tunic, |
| Bor lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Shh!!! He is starting! |
| Meris heaves a sigh. "Guess he has a client already.." |
| Arrish listens to Ingarath closely. |
| [Ingarath] says: time slowing to a delectable infinite, |
| [Bor] says: Oh well, I'll just have ta come prepared next time. |
| [Ingarath] says: Soft lips joining deeply in ecstatic union. |
| [Ingarath] says: Your eyes reflect a terror I can never understand, |
| [Ingarath] says: but suddenly, I feel it, a terrible radiant force, |
| Cogitatus listens intently to Ingarath. |
| Jubbyjubby mutters not to be rude, "Is this a poem?" |
| [Ingarath] says: I ignore it, desperately holding on to the moment, |
| [Ingarath] says: The air nearby charged, and crackling with the arcane, |
| [Ingarath] says: My lips begin to warm slightly, then warmer, |
| [Ingarath] says: Warmer still, until they are nearly on fire, |
| [Ingarath] says: I can't let go - my will will not allow it. |
| [Ingarath] says: But we part regardless, your eyes filled with fear, |
| [Ingarath] says: Myself, simply wondering what the hell happened. |
| [Ingarath] says: And then it was that I came to know more of you, |
| [Ingarath] says: A mage who had before seemed beyond all reproach, |
| Strand gives Trinn a sidelong glance. |
| Nadeshiko listens with a polite smile not quite masking her confusion. |
| [Ingarath] says: Seemingly incapable of embarrassment, or shame, |
| Shame grins. |
| [Ingarath] says: In my untrained eyes, possessing power like a goddess, |
| Meris whispers to Kyltania. |
| [Ingarath] says: Summoning flame to bear as if it were mere breath. |
| Bor notices a stick next to him. He stabs it through a raw snapper and holds it over the fire. |
| Trinn looks very deliberately everywhere than at Strand. |
| [Ingarath] says: As it turns out, even those who play at godhood |
| Kyltania shrugs at you. Who knows? |
| [Ingarath] says: may now and again be humbled by their own power. |
| [Ingarath] says: Still, I enjoyed our time together in the Jester, |
| Arrish smiles faintly. |
| [Ingarath] says: Even though my clothes may be burned to a crisp, |
| Cogitatus furrows his brow as he listens to Ingarath. |
| [Ingarath] says: Even if Janene swears I will never stay in her inn again, |
| Elaran stares intently at the dirt in front of her. |
| [Ingarath] says: A moment in your capable, intelligent company, |
| Flit gives Elaran a sympathetic look. |
| Cogitatus glances at Elaran very briefly, then turns his attention back to Ingarath again. |
| Meris smiles wryly at Ingarath. |
| [Ingarath] says: Is worth any amount of brooding rogue tunics, |
| [Ingarath] says: And you know, after all, wood can be rebuilt again, |
| [Ingarath] says: Though I still blame that scoundrel Jim, and his endless smiling. |
| Ingarath closes his book. |
| Nyidi applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| Flit claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| Vindalf claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| Lucasta claps excitedly for Bor. |
| Nim claps excitedly. |
| Cogitatus applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| Bor applauds. Bravo! |
| Angaelen claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| Nadeshiko applauds uncertainly. |
| Agahmath applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| Wren applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you. |
| [Bor] says: Very nice lad. |
| Strand looks thoughtful, then claps. |
| Edeonis claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| Trinn applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| Meris applauds for Ingarath. |
| Asherrean smiles and claps. |
| Kyltania claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| [Nim] says: I like Smilin' Jim... |
| [Nadeshiko] says: I thought there would be an explosion. |
| Drahliana claps softly. |
| Jegen claps excitedly for Ingarath. |
| Elaran half-snickers as her face turns bright red, still staring at the dirt. |
| [Ingarath] says: Naah, maybe next week. |
| Cogitatus laughs at Ingarath. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Hmm.. |
| Lucasta mutters "It sounds like a bad relationship to me." |
| [Strand] says: Elaran, we might ought to talk sometime. Um. Anyhow. |
| [Elaran] says: Er. |
| [Vindalf] says: I would go, if no one else wishes to |
| Arrish applauds at Ingarath. Bravo! |
| [Nyidi] says: I have a poem as well |
| Ingarath looks to Lucasta. "Hmph. Verse is in the eye of the beholder, it would seem." |
| Kyltania straps her blade back on. |
| Arrish gives Strand a curious look, then Elaran, and then gives Elaran a concerned look. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well, please, sir. |
| Ingarath gestures to Vindalf. |
| [Vindalf] says: Ahhh yes |
| [Drahliana] says: I do have something best perhaps saved for last as it will be challenge to perform and listen to. |
| Jubbyjubby lets out a long, drawn-out sigh. |
| Cogitatus looks over at Vindalf and smiles. |
| [Vindalf] says: I have not a poem, but a story |
| [Cogitatus] says: Either is good, good gnome. |
| [Strand] says: Well, I have a Mellor story sometime. |
| [Vindalf] says: A story of misguided love |
| Trinn leans over to whisper to Strand. |
| Ingarath cheers softly. |
| Ingarath leans over to Elaran. |
| [Meris] says: Hmm. Full house tonight... |
| Strand leans back, more against Trinn than anything else. |
| [Vindalf] says: It begins long ago in Goldshire, around the time of the Darkmoon Faire |
| Angaelen nods, smiling lightly. |
| [Meris] says: Perhaps what we need to do is allow those who will ONLY be here tonight to go first? |
| [Ingarath] says: No, I don't think that's a good idea. |
| Shame leans over and whispers to Asherrean, smirking. |
| [Vindalf] says: The air full of drink jolly and games was all around |
| Strand glances over at Meris, and makes a shhh motion, pointing at Vindalf. |
| Arrish tilts her head, listening to Vindalf. |
| Elaran smiles at Ingarath. |
| [Vindalf] says: But as it was -I- was inside of the inn, studying as I would normally do |
| Asherrean replies to Shame with a grin spreading across his face. |
| [Vindalf] says: This is when I first saw -her- |
| [Drahliana] says: excuse me, I shall return shortly |
| Angaelen smirks slyly at Vindalf. |
| Nim leans over and whispers to Flit. |
| Wren stands quietly "I have to be going, but I hope everyone has a wonderful evening" |
| Flit nods brightly at Nim. |
| Ingarath waves at Wren. |
| Arrish smiles at Wren. |
| Cogitatus waves at Wren. |
| Nim waves goodbye to Wren. Farewell! |
| Trinn waves at Wren. |
| Lucasta bows before Wren. |
| Wren waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell! |
| [Vindalf] says: She spoke naught a word at first but wrote it on a small piece of paper, I thought she was a mute |
| Nyidi waves at Wren. |
| Wren smiles. |
| Elaran waves goodbye to Wren. Farewell! |
| Angaelen smiles, and bows her head as Wren rises. |
| Angaelen curtsies before Wren. |
| [Vindalf] says: But by her look and garb I could tell she was a warlock, as I myself am |
| Strand waves to Wren cheerfully. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| Sullivan waves to Wren, and grins slightly. |
| Arrish returns her attention to Vindalf, eyebrows arching a little. |
| Angaelen nods warily, at the gnomish speaker as he marks this line. |
| Bor lies down. |
| [Vindalf] says: I was intent on making her my apprentice, as I was immediately attracted to not only her beauty, but her whit and turn of phrase |
| Cogitatus furrows his brow for a brief moment, but relaxes and continues listening. |
| [Vindalf] says: I was refused, as I had expected, this one wasn’t going to bend to my will |
| Trinn raises an eyebrow. |
| Strand looks mildly horrified. |
| Ingarath raises an eyebrow. |
| Angaelen raises her eyebrows with a look of cool terror. |
| [Vindalf] says: Long weeks I spent in Goldshire, talking, studying, and passing knowledge to the woman |
| Cogitatus looks at Vindalf intently, looking as though he were analyzing something. |
| Elaran stares levelly at Vindalf. |
| [Vindalf] says: But it came to pass that one day, I was confronted by and -Elf- |
| [Bor] says: Apprentice? Ya warlocks shure have a funny way of meetin' wemen |
| Arrish listens quietly, her expression neutral. |
| Meris snickers at Bor. |
| Elaran mutters quietly..."at least this one tries." |
| [Vindalf] says: This elf made sport of me, angered me, until my fire was as the abyss itself |
| [Vindalf] says: She attempted to calm me, even going so far as to threatening me...in my anger |
| Edeonis mumbles something to himself in a old dialect of Kal'dorei. |
| Elaran leans over to Ingarath. |
| [Vindalf] says: I turned upon her, intent on bursting her into flame as well as the elf, I caught myself, but as I was still furious, I uttered an insult to her, and she left |
| Jubbyjubby mutters some vulgar words in Gnomish about elves. |
| Ingarath smiles and whispers to Elaran. |
| [Vindalf] says: More long weeks, I tried to apologize |
| Angaelen blinks quizzically, her ear picking up at several syllables from the older tongue. |
| Nim shoots JJ a dirty look. |
| [Vindalf] says: And more long weeks I failed |
| Elaran chuckles quietly at Ingarath. |
| Jubbyjubby mutters to Nim, "What was that for?" |
| Shame scrawls a long note in her journal and them immediately crosses it out again. |
| Lucasta looks puzzled. |
| Arrish murmurs softly to Trinn, "Lighting desired girlfriend on fire. Not nearly as good as flowers." |
| [Vindalf] says: Even in chasing this woman around I was slowly realizing that I had fallen in love, I cursed myself from it, hated myself for it, tried to drive it away....but it was always there. |
| Trinn nods at Arrish's comment. "Not hardly." |
| [Vindalf] says: A passion, no, a fire that could only be quenched by the cool touch of that woman |
| Ingarath laughs at Trinn and Arrish. |
| Flit scratches her nose. |
| Nim blinks at Jubbyjubby. |
| Angaelen nods at Arrish's aside. |
| [Elaran] says: No comment. |
| Bor shrugs. Who knows? |
| [Vindalf] says: I had been in Desolace for a time, when I had decided to travel back to see if she was there...she was |
| Trinn gives Elaran an inquisitive look, then glances back over at Strand. |
| Drahliana motions for Baanrit to join her and sit silently |
| [Vindalf] says: But I met with a changed woman, a hardened expression, and colder than ice |
| [Vindalf] says: But it was but a mask, I believed |
| [Vindalf] says: Even in her presence I was calmed |
| Arrish glances over to Elaran and then looks briefly embarrassed. |
| Strand reaches over, and touches Trinn's cheek, feather-light. |
| [Vindalf] says: But I was still yearning for her touch |
| Angaelen gives a wan smiles, tracing the rim of her corked vial of ink. |
| [Vindalf] says: Then, that night, a night I will always remember, I Vindalf...confessed my feelings to her |
| Shame leans over to Ash and whispers something, an impish smile on her face. |
| Lucasta mutters "Uh-oh." |
| Elaran listens to Vindalf, idly twirling a ring of frost on one finger. |
| Bor tosses a pinch of blasting powder into the fire and watches it sparkle and pop with satisfaction. |
| [Vindalf] says: She looked at me intently, and I looked at her, but my eyes were filled with passion, and hers were cold as steel |
| [Vindalf] says: That is when I knew, I was the only one filled with passion |
| [Vindalf] says: Her love was for another |
| Angaelen nods. |
| Trinn leans over to murmur to Arrish. |
| [Vindalf] says: As -luck- would have it, it was an Elf |
| Agahmath lets out a small sigh. |
| Asherrean replies to Shame again with a raised eyebrow. |
| Jubbyjubby curses again about the elves in his home language. |
| [Bor] says: That’s a shame |
| Angaelen quietly chuckles. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: Elves always takin' the ladies from us Gnomes.. |
| Shame chuckles. |
| Elaran raises an eyebrow at Jubbyjubby. |
| [Vindalf] says: As far as I know to this day, she has died, her own love misguided toward the Elf, while I am left....left to only quench my own fire with the ecstasy of magic |
| Arrish looks vaguely appalled. |
| Ingarath frowns. |
| Flit blinks. |
| [Vindalf] says: And this is the end of my tale |
| Lucasta looks a bit disturbed. |
| Vindalf bows down graciously. |
| [Strand] says: Gnh. |
| [Cogitatus] says: Died? Of what? |
| Cogitatus is hopelessly confused. |
| Meris quirks a brow and claps politely. |
| [Vindalf] says: A fight with a warlock, as I am told |
| Elaran stares at Vindalf, the frost ring disappearing immediately. |
| Angaelen nods, a tad on the harrowed side, before clapping politely. |
| [Vindalf] says: I still know not his name |
| [Agahmath] says: A sad tale! |
| Strand claps excitedly for Vindalf. |
| Flit hesitates, uncertain if she's supposed to clap. |
| Bor scratches his beard, not knowing what to think. |
| [Ingarath] says: Well...sir.....thank you for sharing. |
| Asherrean 's brows crease at the end of the tale and he shakes his head. |
| Agahmath claps politely. |
| Arrish arches her eyebrows, then claps politely. |
| Nim looks around, seeing what everyone else is doing, before clapping a little bit. |
| Trinn puts her hands in her lap, looking disturbed. |
| [Arrish] says: Very illuminating. |
| Nadeshiko coughs gently. |
| [Ingarath] says: Now...who was going to go next....? |
| [Drahliana] says: Ingarath, if I may, I have changed my mind and would like to present my contribution next. |
| Shame turns a page in her journal and looks up. |
| Nyidi raises her hand |
| [Ingarath] says: Hmm. |
| Ingarath looks to Nyidi. "Do you mind?" |
| Elaran taps her lower lip, then sits back and watches. |
| [Nyidi] says: Not at all |
| [Drahliana] says: thank you |
| Ingarath gestures to the fire. "Please. By all means." |
| Ingarath scoots a little closer to Elaran. |
| Shame looks at Ash, down at the book in her hands and whispers something. |
| Angaelen kneels before Drahliana. |
| Angaelen kneels before Drahliana. |
| Agahmath kneels down. |
| [Drahliana] says: some of you may know that I planned a Festival to honor the ancient Kaldorei holiday of Summer's Eve. |
| Baanrit eyes that rabbit |
| [Drahliana] says: as events turned out, that Festival was not to be. |
| [Drahliana] says: but I do have part of what I had planned to bring to that festival and |
| Angaelen uncorks her bottle of ink, and anoints her stylus. |
| [Drahliana] says: with your indulgence I shall share it here. |
| Cogitatus listens to Drahliana intently. |
| Trinn looks back at Valhollie, smiles, and gestures for her to sit. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Bor] says: Aww, I'm always up ta festivals. |
| Ingarath grins wickedly at Bor. |
| Arrish listens curiously to Drahliana. |
| [Drahliana] says: this will require some background before I begin. |
| Nim smiles to Drahliana, listening. |
| Elarion smiles slightly, his eyes fixed on Drahliana. |
| Jubbyjubby sighs and picks some rat meat from his teeth with a toothpick. |
| [Drahliana] says: Ours is an old civilization, older perhaps than you can understand. |
| Asherrean nods in response to Shame's whispers then returns his gaze to the speaker. |
| Baanrit listens to Drahliana intently, but is distracted by the rabbit |
| [Drahliana] says: we have gone through long periods of nearly static being punctuated by episodes of sharp change. |
| [Drahliana] says: a few years ago, we were not even legend to those of you whose homes lay across the sea |
| [Drahliana] says: on the other side of the Maelstrom. |
| Shame spills her ink all over her journal and cusses. |
| [Drahliana] says: it was those scant years ago that the Orcs and Humans came with their war and their search to Kalimdor. |
| Flit half-turns and hands Shame her [Folded Handkerchief]. |
| [Drahliana] says: where we had waited and guarded our trusts for over ten millennia |
| Bor nods. |
| [Drahliana] says: a trust charged to us by the Ancients |
| [Drahliana] says: and the Aspects. |
| Shame leans forward and whispers to Flit. |
| Flit smiles. |
| [Drahliana] says: Even for us 10 thousand years is a long time of guardianship |
| Elaran leans on Ingarath and listens. |
| Arrish nods, listening. |
| Ingarath smiles. |
| Shame hands back the ink-stained handkerchief. |
| Cogitatus nods solemnly. |
| [Drahliana] says: For the guardian named Maiev Shadowsong it led to the absence of all but hate.... |
| Flit nods at Jegen. |
| [Drahliana] says: .... until she ended her days estranged from all but her obsession. |
| Shame closes her journal, shoves it in her bag and stands. |
| Flit takes back her handkerchief and places it carefully into a foil bag. |
| You listen intently to Drahliana. |
| Strand frowns, listening intently. |
| Elarion frowns slightly, his eyes traveling from Drahliana to around the circle. |
| [Drahliana] says: and for Tyrande, the agent of Elune it was loneliness sundered from her love by the charge laid upon the Druids |
| Asherrean whispers a few words to Shame, then rises as well and politely nods to those gathered before following. |
| Shame tries to sneak off quietly and almost succeeds. |
| [Drahliana] says: to perform their wardship in the Emerald Dream. |
| Lucasta mutters something about druids under her breath. |
| [Drahliana] says: and even the rest of us changed slowly under the weight of lonely vigil |
| Baanrit looks confused realizing she slept through Lore classes |
| Angaelen caps the bottle, setting aside the stylus and devoting herself to the introduction without the hindrance of recording. |
| [Drahliana] says: But in the time before then, before that which we would call the Sundering, we were a different |
| [Drahliana] says: people. |
| [Drahliana] says: We were the ancient practitioners of the arcane arts and we built |
| Elarion 's flick back to Drahliana sharply. |
| [Drahliana] says: ourselves a civilization, a life, and a great city. |
| Angaelen murmurs a few words regarding Azshara Regina under her breath ... |
| [Drahliana] says: but ours was more than a world of magic, it was a world of song |
| Agahmath smiles, a great number of his friends being Elves. |
| Bor lies down. |
| [Drahliana] says: and both were frequently pressed together in the expression of our faith. |
| [Drahliana] says: Faith in Elune.... faith in Malorne the Skywatcher, faith in Cenarius and the Ancients both living and lost..... |
| Cogitatus looks like he's about to ask a question, but remains silent, instead. |
| [Drahliana] says: .... and faith in our great lady, the most wondrous singer of all.... the heart of our world.. |
| [Drahliana] says: Azshara. |
| [Drahliana] says: Before she led us into destruction she led us in song |
| [Drahliana] says: in song so long ..... |
| [Drahliana] says: that she had to lead us deep into treachery before we could believe that her |
| Elarion nods slowly. |
| [Drahliana] says: hearts had turned from us to the obsession which springs from the arcane. |
| [Drahliana] says: And so it was that we lost much more than a city..... |
| Elaran narrows her eyes at Drahliana. |
| [Drahliana] says: much more than the sundering of the one continent which we called |
| Lucasta looks dubiously at Drahliana. |
| [Drahliana] says: Kalimdor. |
| Ingarath listens quietly. |
| [Drahliana] says: more than the loss of those who we once called kin, that we looked up to as Highbourne. |
| [Drahliana] says: But for Tyrande herself like many of those who survived it was the lost of what was personal which struck the most. |
| [Drahliana] says: For her love Malfurion, like the other Druids not felled by the ancient war |
| [Drahliana] says: had been called to honor their obligation in the long sleep. |
| [Drahliana] says: and so Tyrande like many of the women of Kaldorei went on... |
| [Drahliana] says: to honor their part of the trust alone. |
| [Drahliana] says: As it did on Maiev her guardianship would wear on her from time to time. |
| [Drahliana] says: She also bore the burden of honors and office that she had not sought. |
| [Drahliana] says: but did not turn away from for the sake of her people |
| Havyn looks over the crowd silently. |
| Nim grins to Jegen and nods. |
| Xeilani glances at Havyn |
| [Drahliana] says: And so to ease her burden she created a lay. |
| [Drahliana] says: that she would sing from time to time. |
| Nim leans over and whispers to Flit, grinning proudly. |
| Ingarath whispers to Elaran. |
| Agahmath idly runs his hand through his beard, most interested in the ancient histories that had been in place longer than his own people's. |
| [Drahliana] says: But as Tyrande waxed in the light of Elune... her voice over the years would |
| [Drahliana] says: become more compelling... |
| [Drahliana] says: until it would drown others in her sorrow. |
| Meris casts a sideways glance over to Havyn and Xeilani. |
| Havyn leans over and speaks to Xeilani softly. |
| [Drahliana] says: At first because our men had become precious to us. she would sing it only in the company of other women. |
| Elaran rolls her eyes and half-heartedly smacks Ingarath. |
| Ingarath winks slyly at Elaran. |
| [Drahliana] says: And then only her closest disciples could bear to hear it. |
| [Drahliana] says: Until today, she dares not sing it any longer to anyone in her presence. |
| Cogitatus smirks silently in response to Elaran, then turns his attention to Drahliana. |
| Xeilani looks over at Havyn with an expression on her face asking "Why did you bring me..here?" |
| [Drahliana] says: The lay I will give you tonight has not been heard by males for a time of many of your generations. |
| [Drahliana] says: But I will need the assistance of one of my own kind to present it. |
| [Drahliana] says: For it can only be sung in our native tongue. |
| Trinn glances around the circle. |
| Agahmath turns his head up, listening attentively. |
| Bor leans forward with interest. |
| Elaran looks over her shoulder at El'arion. |
| [Drahliana] says: So I ask for a volunteer |
| Havyn grins lightly and sits back - speaking quietly. |
| Nim seems pretty excited about all this. |
| [Drahliana] says: to translate |
| Elarion frowns slightly. |
| Angaelen curtsies before Drahliana. |
| Elaran nods at Elarion. |
| [Elarion] says: I suppose I could... |
| [Drahliana] says: come |
| Ingarath blinks. |
| Flit nods. |
| [Elarion] says: If no one else wishes to. |
| Drahliana bows before Angaelen. |
| Angaelen curtsies before Drahliana. |
| [Drahliana] says: thank you. |
| [Drahliana] says: stand her beside me |
| [Drahliana] says: and we shall begin. |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: What's happening? |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Diel ri dor Anu lo fal Aman |
| [Jubbyjubby] says: I was lost in space for a moment.. |
| Angaelen kneels before Drahliana. |
| [Bor] says: shh |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Ni Bandu osa anoduna ri no fal anoduna da al mandalas |
| [Angaelen] says: This is the Lay of our Loss |
| Xeilani gives Havyn an understanding nod, but still doesn't wish to be here |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] shari al diel andu dath al diel shar ishura |
| Jubbyjubby takes out a book labeled "Darnassian/Gnomish Dictionary" to understand. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] nor dath neph'o eraburis shar ri fal shano |
| Jubbyjubby flips through the pages. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Al rini nor dor shando belore |
| Nim listens intently, entranced by the strange song. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Alah alah ni Ash Fulo |
| Havyn shoots her apprentice a light smirk and mutters something about elves. |
| Ingarath can understand a little Darnassian, and he watches Drahliana closely, awestruck. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] dor do'rah belore diel shando |
| Vindalf , intently listens and admires the beauty of the elven language as he is swept up in the lay |
| [Angaelen] says: Oh Elune, you sustain us in our burdens as we remember. / Where we have come, what we have left behind / and what sleeps guarding our trust. / We sing for the fallen towers, / alas, alas, oh Zin Alor, / |
| Meris wraps her arms around her knees and listens inquisitively. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] alah alah ni Ash Fulo al tal thori'dal neph'o nor al'shar |
| Strand listens quietly, rapt. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Mandalas da fal shari shari'fal da fal neph'o thus |
| Cogitatus listens intently. |
| Baanrit falls asleep. Zzzzzzz. |
| [Angaelen] says: the silver towers have fallen / alas, alas, oh Zin Alor, we are scattered, broken, and humbled. / Betrayed by our heart, abandoned by our living soul. |
| Agahmath could not make a noise if he wished to, lost in the ancient song. |
| Sullivan closes his eyes, to focus on the words. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Nor ash O anar shar su fulo aman do fandu dor thera ishnu |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] nor osa dath ni thus dor thori'dal eburi falla |
| Elaran peers at Drahliana, listening in wonder. |
| Elarion listens, frozen in place by the spell of Drahliana's voice. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Diel al anu terro do'rah thoribas do'rah |
| Xeilani rolls her eyes |
| [Angaelen] says: And now I must send my love away, to dream the green sleep / as you abde me face the unending years alone. / have we not given enough, suffered enough? |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Nor ash anar su fulo su talah aman do Shan're fandu |
| Vindalf 's head falls into his hands as he draws his knees to his chest, he begins muttering to himself |
| Xeilani mutters a no |
| Nim glances back at Jegen and gives him an angry look, before turning back to the song. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] D'ana'no dor eburi rini ni shar'adore aman |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] fandu al diel thus belore do ni |
| Havyn grins with a light laugh. |
| [Angaelen] says: And why must my love be taken away to Ysera's dream. / sleeping the years, till an appointed time / shall at long last return to me. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Al alah ash anu fulo no dor al'shar lo fal banthalos |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Al alah ash al'shar da fal thoribas |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] nor al mush do thus terro ni Bandu do diel ri dor ash andu do d'ana'no |
| [Angaelen] says: We live now not even in the shadows of our greatness ... / We live now humbled by our mistakes ... |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Alah ni Ash Fulo alah |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Osa tal anar do ri ash nor mush'al |
| Amanis kneels down. |
| [Angaelen] says: And we look to your light, oh Elune to show us the dim path to tomorrow. / Alas ... oh Zin Alor, alas. / You are lost to us now and forever ... |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Osa tal anar do ri shar nei talah dath ri da dal'dieb |
| Havyn glances at Xeilani and mutters something about the graveyard. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Osa tal anar do ri do nei talah aman da dieb |
| Xeilani nods |
| [Angaelen] says: You are lost to us with the kin taken from us by violence. / You are lost to us to kin taken away by lust. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] nor dor ethala dor fala'andu nor dor mandalas |
| Havyn stands slowly. |
| Xeilani follows Havyn's lead |
| [Angaelen] says: For the unseen, the unfeeling, and the unworldly. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Nor osa tal anar do ri shar diel al shari diel thus mush |
| Angaelen holds back a sob. |
| Arrish listens intently, her gaze moving between the singer and the translator. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Ni Bandu rini ni dor dal'dieb do mush nor dor tal neph'o |
| [Angaelen] says: And you are lost to us with that we still hold most dear. |
| [Angaelen] says: Oh Elune, give me the strength to look for the new season. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Dor Dath do shando ri dath dor tur Mandalas aman |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Dor eraburis Nor |
| [Angaelen] says: The Fall to leaven us from the hot Summer's heat. / The accusing Day. |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Al mush do osa Do'rah Dieb nor thus anar terro thus dune'adah t'as'e |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Nor al rini u'phol do osa ash nor mush'al |
| [Angaelen] says: We look to you Mother Moon for you cool light, your caressing shadow. / And we give thanks to you now and forever ... |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] thus rini ri aman'ni o thus diel turus al fulo fandu su dal'dieb do ri |
| [Drahliana] says: [Darnassian] Aman'ni ri diel al fal bandu do turus fal anar Ash Fulo |
| Drahliana bows before Angaelen. |
| Elaran nods at Ingarath. |
| [Angaelen] says: Only give us someday a sign that those we love shall be returned to us . / Someday, so that we may cease to mourn our lost. Zin Alor. |
| [Drahliana] says: Thank you |
| Nyidi applauds at Drahliana. Bravo! |

| Strand applauds both Drahliana and Angaelen. |
| Elarion rises abruptly and walks around the circle towards the lake. |
| Cogitatus applauds at Drahliana. Bravo! |
| Angaelen composes herself before rising slowly. |
| Flit claps excitedly for Drahliana. |
| Agahmath claps thunderously! |
| Bor claps excitedly. |
| Baanrit claps excitedly for Drahliana. |
| Arrish applauds. Bravo! |
| Ingarath claps excitedly for Drahliana. |
| Drahliana thanks Angaelen. |
| Angaelen curtsies before Drahliana. |
| Baanrit cheers at Drahliana! |
| Lucasta claps excitedly for Drahliana. |
| Angaelen kneels before Drahliana. |
| [Drahliana] says: and thank you for your help. |
| Vindalf is still muttering strange words to himself, as the clapping begins he comes from his trance and claps lightly |
| Cogitatus smiles at Angaelen. |
| [Bor] says: Beautiful... |
| [Drahliana] says: It was not easy , I understand. |
| [Ingarath] says: Drahliana, you honor us with your beautiful voice. |
| Sullivan recites a silent verse to himself, and opens his eyes. |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you, truly. |
| [Angaelen] says: [Darnassian] Do dor t'as'e lo shano asto're Il'amare su adore neph'anis |
| Angaelen curtsies. |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| Ingarath looks to Nyidi. "Do you still wish to speak...?" |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| Blaydon bursts into dance. |
| Arrish says gravely, "Thank you, both of you." |
| Amanis cheers! |
| [Nyidi] says: Yes, that song reminded me of a different poem than the one I picked out, though |
| Vindalf sighs at Blaydon. |
| Angaelen takes up her pen, shaking slightly. |
| Ingarath gestures to the fire. |
| Strand gives Angaelen a quiet smile. |
| [Nyidi] says: I have endured much to reach this place |
| Amanis passes around a hat with "tips" written into the side. |
| Arrish says politely to Blaydon, "Kindly sit. We have a speaker." |
| [Nyidi] says: By Elune's grace, I've been neither sick nor mad |
| [Nyidi] says: And yet I feel I have |
| [Nyidi] says: My limbs are thin, my veins are glass |
| [Nyidi] says: My heart the merest whim |
| [Nyidi] says: Of beat and pause and beat |
| [Nyidi] says: Deaths in the street are mine |
| [Nyidi] says: I would not have it so |
| [Nyidi] says: I know much more than I would want to know |
| Angaelen kneels down. |
| [Nyidi] says: Unfurl the morning mail, envoys of war |
| [Nyidi] says: I know they die out there, put down my spoon |
| [Nyidi] says: Lovers stare at the moon tonight |
| [Nyidi] says: I know their joys |
| [Nyidi] says: The girl in me goes with them as they gaze |
| [Nyidi] says: Their lips tracing future children’s' names |
| Elarion waves at Myvanor. |
| [Nyidi] says: Boys counting stars beyond reach |
| Myvanor smiles at Elarion. |
| [Nyidi] says: Boys counting stars beyond reach Silver flames that teach my tired blood to love again |
| [Nyidi] says: It rains in Theralas tonight |
| [Nyidi] says: A flood, I wash my face in it |
| Cogitatus listens intently to Nyidi. |
| [Nyidi] says: In Alterac, another massacre |
| Agahmath looks up reflexively, his bearded cheeks turning a bit red. |
| [Nyidi] says: A ruse, I run a race in it |
| [Nyidi] says: And lose |
| [Nyidi] says: I have endured much to reach this place |
| [Nyidi] says: By Elune's grace, I've been neither sick nor mad |
| [Nyidi] says: And yet I feel I have |
| [Nyidi] says: can't you see? |
| [Nyidi] says: There is this thing in me |
| [Nyidi] says: I cannot choose to be or not to be |
| Nyidi bows down graciously. |
| Agahmath applauds at Nyidi. Bravo! |
| Vindalf claps excitedly. |
| Bor claps excitedly. |
| Elaran claps excitedly for Nyidi. |

| Arrish applauds at Nyidi. Bravo! |
| Nadeshiko whispers to Nim, 'I don't understand Night Elves." |
| [Ingarath] says: Thank you, thank you. We are truly honored with many fine speakers this evening! |
| Amanis dances with Bor. |
| [Vindalf] says: I have a, shall we say, catchy turn of phrase....short of course |
| Nadeshiko holds up a scorecard for Amanis. 0.3 points. |
| [Ingarath] says: Let's see if anyone else who hasn't gone yet would like to go? |
| Ingarath looks around the circle. |
| Strand tilts his head at Ingarath., |
| [Ingarath] says: Do we have any more voices this evening? |

| Amanis bursts into dance. |
| Amanis raises a drink in the air before chugging it down. Cheers! |
| Amanis bursts into dance. |

| [Bor] says: Ya been swimmin lad? I bet that water was mighty cold. |
| Nim looks over to Strand hopefully, getting himself prepared for the upcoming story. |
| Vindalf lets out a hearty chuckle. |
| [Strand] says: So, I have a father, and from time to time he tells stories. |

| Flit wiggles expectantly. |
| [Strand] says: The best stories, though -- I think -- are the ones about this field mouse. |
| Elaran listens intently to Strand. |
