I removed the Pow-wow Part 9 from the calendar. I hope it can be rescheduled.

A guild-wide meeting is on my agenda, although I am still waiting for a couple of internal things to happen.

I made a rookie mistake and forgot to arrange for someone to log the meeting. If anybody happened to get it from the beginning, do me a solid and post it for the nice people?

Thanks for winging it with me folks :)

Malzard

This is the best I could do. I'm pretty sure I missed some, and my s0par regexifiers were not up to the task, but I'm pretty confident I got the bulk of them. My anonymizer can't handle insurmountable differences between first and third person on some verbs, like ponder, and I'm too lazy to try to build them all in. I'm exhausted and I need to do work before I go to bed, though, so here you are.

[Observatory, Third Level]
A twisted framework of oak timbers and brass machinery nearly fills the room. At its center, the tremendous tube of a weer crystal telescope slants upward at a slight angle toward the dome's center, splitting the air like a precarious steel pillar gone askew. A thick glass lens extends a small space beneath the scope's circular base. You also see a small green box, a serving table with a lunar fruitcake on it, a sign, a donation shelf with some stuff on it and a small bubbling cauldron of viscous gloop.
Also here: Charmer Larhea, Celestian Combust, Expert Evaluator Bluebella, Sylverus, Pormithius whose body glows with starlight, Ceich, Heritage Keeper Kelvena who is sitting, Tizzie who is sitting, Tinkerer Totenus, Kaiyven, Master Moon Mage Wildluck, Historian Terra, Novus Jamaru, Magus Malzard, Mathematician Segenam.

Tizzie gazes at the ironwood box and then extends her claws. In an impressive display, Tizzie does a very good imitation of a cat sharpening its claws on the box but with even more dramatic results.

Eventually, she is left with nothing but a few remaining splinters in her hands which she plucks out and discards.

Tizzie takes off a silver jadeite gwethdesuan.
Tizzie puts her gwethdesuan in her suede satchel.
Levinas asks, "Can this cleric be named?"
Sylverus ponders.
Malzard says, "This might help account for being unconcerned about the mage's plight."
Segenam says, "We also speculated that this may have some connection to magic, but most likely to death."
Terra continues to chant the infectious strains of "Faenella's Grace", seeming to lose herself in the very rhythms she produces.
Malzard says, "But these animals abandon their charges before the point of death."
Shalii nods to Levinas.
Segenam asks, "Malzard, do you remember the cleric's name?"
Malzard asks Segenam, "The woman who couldn't keep her Gods straight?"

Segenam says, "Kssarh also made some points, and I believe Malzard can sum those up better than I can; he and Darkgaze were assigned to research this."
Malzard says to Tizzie, "Would it mean magic leaving mages. But then there is the sailor..."
Kulinban glances outside a moment.
Kulinban turns his gaze to the sky for a few moments.
Malzard gives Segenam a slight nod.
Tizzie says, "as the stars had failed us...perhaps the wolves, symbol of Meraud isn't it...fails us as well"

Erelieva says, "Well, you just confirmed my thought. The albatross, symbol of Lemicus, abandoned the lost sailor, as well."
Terra continues to chant the infectious strains of "Faenella's Grace", seeming to lose herself in the very rhythms she produces.
Malzard nods at Erelieva, obviously agreeing with her views.
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
Rekletiva says to Segenam, "There is the vision of the resurrection chamber."
Malzard says, "A mage abandoned by the avatar of the God, the sailor abandoned in kind..."
Segenam nods to Rekletiva.
Malzard asks, "Were they abandoned prematurely? Or were they guided to a more peaceful death?"
Malzard nods at Rekeltiva, obviously agreeing with his views.
Levinas asks, "What exactly is the Celestian view as per Kssarh?"
Malzard says to Rekletiva, "That feeling lingered in my soul."
Malzard frowns at Rekletiva.
Bubbling says, "the mage didn't look peaceful"
A single blue-white sliver decays in its orbit around Bubbling and flies off.
Quive seems to be concentrating intently on something.
Quive gestures.
Malzard says to Levinas, "The Guildleader's insight was as I said, that it is the act of the animals leaving that is most significant to him."
Grayfer just left.
Erelieva says, "I would think the abandonment is not in peaceful death."
Sylverus exclaims, "This sounds as a friend of death, He who you speak of!"
Terra's voice takes on an almost lyrical quality as she launches into the chorus of "Faenella's Grace", each word flowing to the next with a seamless ease.
Levinas nods.
Tizzie asks, "would this be connected with the odd reposrts of folks who departed?"
Terra asks, "Well, have there been any other religion related visions as of late? With any other avatars?"
Tizzie says, "er reports sorry...hairball"
Tizzie coughs.
Terra casually observes the area.
Segenam shudders.
Tizzie shifts uncomfortably for a moment.
Terra stops performing her enchante.
Malzard gazes thoughtfully at Tizzie.
Malzard says to Tizzie, "I have heard these reports as well."
Trislan says, "Perhaps it means there will be no more favors with the gods. Thus they will be wiping their hands of us departing and bringing us back."
Malzard nods to Tizzie.
Tizzie nods.
Tizzie says, "I departed once"
Malzard says, "I'm sure many of us have. Odd things happening after one departs."
Rekletiva grins at Trislan.
Tizzie says, "and had a similar feeling"
Rekletiva whispers to Trislan.
Tizzie nods.
Terra says, "I do not think the Gods will abandon those who have strong faith."
Terra frowns at Tizzie.
Levinas nods at Terra, obviously agreeing with her views.
Segenam asks, "Prydaen, were your memories protected first?"
Malzard says, "No more favors with the Gods..."
Malzard frowns at Trislan.
Segenam fixes Tizzie with a calm, clear stare.
Anabel says, "Perhaps they're looking for a different toll to bring us back from death."
Tizzie ponders.
Sylverus gasps!
Malzard says to Trislan, "The implications could be dire."
Levinas says, "Or there are those of us who've never departed.."
Tizzie says, "no they weren't"
Rekletiva drylys ask, "}anabel Fragments?"
Dreamricti sarcastically says to Terra, "Or they already have..."
Sylverus nods at Malzard, obviously agreeing with his views.
Terra glances at Dreamricti.
Terra rubs a modest silver amulet symbolizing dedication to Albreda.
Trislan says, "Thus the wolves of Meraud leaving the mage."
Dreamricti pushes his spectacles up the bridge of his nose.
Segenam says, "Interesting. That differs from our findings."
A single blue-white sliver decays in its orbit around Bubbling and flies off.
Trislan says, "And all the other animals, symbols of the Gods."
Anabel shrugs.
Terra says, "And the albatross leaving the sailor lost at sea."
Rekletiva whispers to Malzard.
Trislan gives a slight nod.
Kulinban ponders.
Pormithius says, "The Albatross leaves the sailor to the raging sea, Drogor. Certainly not a welcome fate."
Tizzie ponders.
Malzard says, "The Voidspawn gave his typical crypic riddle, steeped in his Albarian traditions."
Trislan says, "It also could just be a warning. In that they require more faith from us or this will happen."
Rekletiva asks Pormithius, "I found that interesting. Were there shrews or owls in the vision of the mage?"
Malzard says, "He said, "The Jackal is stalking those not aligned with the stars""
Segenam says, "The aspects of those gods, they are associated with Elothians. I know, Sir Malzard, we discussed this, but it still disturbs me."
Talarien says, "All of the animals mentioned represent primary or positive aspects of the gods"
Terra says, "Well, the albatross is not associated with Elotheans in particular and neither is the jackal."
Talarien says, "None from the negative side"
Terra nods to Segenam.
Malzard gives Talarien a slight nod.
Levinas says, "Wolves stil lthoigh"
Terra asks Talarien, "I noted that as well. Interesting, no?"
Anabel says, "My faith is what I observe, what I see through my telescope. Not a blind belief in the unknown."
Malzard asks Talarien, "What would that indicate to Rekletiva?"
Segenam says, "Eluned is shows as an Elothian woman."
Talarien says, "Lemicus, though, is the positive aspect of Eluned, another Elothean connaction if you choose to look at it that way"
Rekletiva glances at Segenam, a male Elothean.
Terra says, "The albatross is the avatar of Lemicus, Patron of the Elves and of libraries."
Levinas says, "And Meraud and as an Elothian man"
Segenam nods.
Mystic Persayis just arrived.
Anabel takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Anabel puts her fruitcake in her tattered cloak.
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Dreamer Noviastarr just arrived.
Rekletiva asks, "Do we have a Cleric present, by chance?"
Kulinban frowns at a shadowling.
Dreamer Noviastarr just went east.
Terra acquaints you with some more tricks of the trade by means of droll commentary and cogent examples.
Three blue-white slivers drift away from Bubbling and disappear into the air.
Anabel shakes her head.
Dreamricti just left.
Fairich just arrived.
Sylverus nods to Rekletiva.
Fairich says, "Cleric? "
Sylverus raises his hand.
Talarien says, "yes we do"
Fairich smiles.
Anabel blinks.
Fairich puts his icon in his canvas backpack.
Anabel says, "My apologies."
Fairich puts his scimitar in his canvas backpack.
Tizzie purrs.
Fairich chuckles.
Segenam smiles.
Sylverus says, "I was there the night the voidspawn came to help the unfortunate souls"
Sylverus nods in agreement.
Anabel nods to Sylverus.
Sylverus exclaims, "Much work had to be done!"
Malzard sighs.
Terra fixes Malzard with a serene, lofty stare.
Say that to who?
Rekletiva nods politely.
Malzard says to Terra, "Remembering the shadowmasters, is all."
Tizzie studies the faces around her.
Malzard rubs his head.
Talarien asks, "How does the vision og blood turning into kittens relate though?"
Tizzie studies the faces around her.
Talarien says, "err of"
Malzard asks you, "Did you have a request of the Clerics here?"
Rekletiva shakes his head at Malzard.
Malzard says to Talarien, "I would certainly like to talk to about that."
Malzard nods at Talarien, obviously agreeing with his views.
Terra acquaints you with some more tricks of the trade by means of droll commentary and cogent examples.
Rekletiva says to Malzard, "Foreknowledge of them, is all I wanted."
Malzard gives you a slight nod.
Fairich says, "Our knowledge is no better than your own, sadly. "
Malzard says, "What of that vision."
Malzard says, "What of the familiar path from childhood dreams."
Malzard says, "The fear."
Malzard says, "The blood."
Malzard frowns.
Rekletiva asks, "Why kittens?"
Fairich smiles.
Tizzie ponders.
Jamaru says, "Undead kitties are going to invade.. soon.."
Three blue-white slivers drift away from Bubbling and disappear into the air.
Tizzie asks, "to the gods wouldn't our puny magic seem like kittens?"
Segenam glances at Jamaru.
Tizzie shrugs.
Malzard gazes thoughtfully at Tizzie.
Jamaru says to Segenam, "Well, it could happen."
Rekletiva ponders the meaning of life.
Segenam sighs.
Segenam shakes his head.
Jamaru asks, "It would be very subtle.. who would suspect a kitten?"
Tizzie nods.
Tizzie says, "pale death squirrels...why not pale death kittens"
Jamaru grins at Anabel.
Persayis laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Segenam frowns.
Trislan says, "Perhaps the kittens are like Tizzie says, only...our magic brings comfort to us and usually a kitten would as well. We are so fearful that we desperately try to rub our hands together for our magic we are so comfortable with and it only gives us a minor relief."
Rekletiva asks, "Perhaps there's a Prydaen connection?"
Combust exclaims, "Or the chickens who came to the crossin'!"
Malzard glances at Trislan.
Segenam nods to Rekletiva.
Tizzie chuckles.
Tizzie's ears relax for a moment in obvious enjoyment.
Talarien says, "There was fear present, in a familiar setting, and it was alleviated by shedding blood."
Fairich says, "I personally feel the visions spoken about here, are trying to convey a sense of loss. "
Tizzie says, "that sounds like war"
Malzard gazes thoughtfully at Trislan.
Segenam says, "Well, if we must, I suppose..."
Malzard says to Trislan, "Very interesting thoughts."
Malzard gives Trislan a slight nod.
Tizzie brushes one ear with her hand, grooming it absentmindedly.
Tizzie ponders.
Tizzie's tail swishes through the air.
Trislan says, "The kittens just mean that while we may be more comfortable, it means nothing substantial to influence anything."
Malzard says, "My one concern would be to have it focused on magic, on mages..."
Terra ponders.
Trislan nods to Malzard.
Tizzie nods to Malzard.
Malzard says, "If this is indeed about death itself, we all experience that."
Combust nods.
Pormithius says, "What of the Albatross, Lemicus, patron of the library leaving the lone sailor to Drogor, the angry sea, the destroyer of knowledge."
Shalii stops listening to Sylverus.
Malzard nods at Pormithius, obviously agreeing with his views.
Malzard says, "Just because there is no animal does not mean the negative aspects are absent."
Malzard says, "Pormithius makes a fine point."
Segenam nods.
Segenam bows to Pormithius.
Tizzie twitches an ear nervously.
Rekletiva asks, "Is this about our memories?"
Levinas joins Shalii's group.
Malzard says, "Childhood memories...knowledge..."
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Segenam praises Rekletiva.
Shalii nods.
Kelvena gazes heavenwards expectantly, but lowers her eyes unfulfilled.
Trislan says, "Or again, our knowledge of magic as we know it."
Malzard asks, "Which would align quite precisely with some of the experiences of the departed, no?"
Fairich ponders.
Rekletiva says to Trislan, "Meraud is also patron of the written word."
Segenam nods.
Mordimer stands up.
A stone seat collapses back into the ground.
Trislan gives a slight nod.
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Malzard says to Trislan, "Magic lost was absolutely one of my first inclinations. I have moved slightly away from it, truthfully."
Malzard says, "But we are here to air all ideas."
Trislan nods to Malzard.
Fairich says, "I really feel this is bigger than Magic. The childhood memories, we all have them, I feel they really show that all of us are going to be affected. Bringing a sense of familiarity to the visions themselves.."
Fairich nods at Malzard, obviously agreeing with his views.
Trislan says, "I hope we don't lose our magic."
Trislan chuckles.
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Anabel nods to Jamaru.
Mordimer grins.
Segenam nods.
Malzard quietly says to Trislan, "If we do, I suggest looking directly AT the Herald."
Malzard closes his eyes and makes a sound of contentment that resembles purring in the back of his throat.
Kougen chuckles at Malzard.
The wings of Shianalee's slippers flutter for a moment.
Erelieva asks, "If the kittens are related to the other visions, then it may be important to realize that the kittens comforted, not abandoned. As the cat represents Tamsine, maybe she is somehow significant?"
Tizzie says, "while not all are affected by magic, magic affects a lot of what we do...and so all can be affected"
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Malzard says, "And Holy magic is certainly what provides us all the security of our memories upon death."
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Jamaru asks, "Maybe the effect of your death will depend on the god you worship?"
Fairich grins at Malzard.
Tizzie nods to Malzard.
Tizzie says, "oh dear"
Segenam says, "That makes a lot of sense. The body can be seen as our home."
Pormithius says, "The vision of the Jackal seems to be very straight forward, going along with the elementary description of the God Eylhaar. A beckoning to death."
Tizzie says, "that would be a disaster"
Kougen says, "It does seem to carry along a theme of bringing comfort in one's hour of need, but then leaving at the last moment."
Jamaru asks, "Or perhaps, of the cleric bringing you back to life?"
Terra nods.
Kougen asks, "False hope?"
Wildluck says, "After the albatross leave the sailor, he rubs the wood he is clinging to. Walking down the path, you rub your fingers together. I do not remember the other visions, but I believe the way of gaining favors, rubbing orbs, may be involved"
Malzard gives Kougen a slight nod.
Segenam nods.
Tizzie says, "mmm"
Tizzie angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Wildluck.
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
Malzard says to Wildluck, "An astutue observation."
Malzard nods graciously at Wildluck, giving him a polite smile.
Shalii closes her eyes and starts murmuring under her breath.
The wings of Combust's slippers flutter for a moment.
The translucent image of a wolf glistens briefly in the cerulean depths of the orb hovering near Fairich.
Segenam asks, "Has anyone gotten favors recently?"
Shalii closes her eyes and starts murmuring under her breath.
Tizzie mutters into the air something about my head hurts.
Shalii says, "yes"
Tizzie rubs her head.
Trislan says, "Yes. Nothing out of the ordinary though."
Tizzie twitches an ear nervously.
Jamaru says, "Yes.."
Segenam nods.
Shalii nods.
Jamaru says, "Well, I got a couple in haven a few days ago."
Trislan says, "At least from my observation."
Hekti just left.
Segenam nods.
Segenam says, "Question answered. Thank you."
Malzard says, "Well, they are predictions of the future, not the present. In most cases."
Combust nods.
Combust raises his hand.
Malzard gives Combust a slight nod.
Malzard says, "Please."
Kougen says, "Or the Jackal drives them away. Interfering, much like the Weasel not too long ago."
Combust asks, "You spoke of preventing from visions?"
Combust asks, "Will visions be so great to help prevent much death form an unnatural event?"
Malzard quietly says to Kougen, "The Kaldaran spoke of the Jackal in the same way he did the Weasel."
Malzard gives Kougen a slight nod.
Terra ponders.
Terra says, "And we all know how that turned out."
Terra frowns.
Father Aristron just arrived.
Segenam asks, "If we may, Sir, what were the Kaldaran's exact words?"
Wildluck asks, "True. But the question for me is, do they indicate a change in gaining favor with the stars or just a warning not to wait to gain those favors after they have been used?"
Malzard says to Combust, "Forecasting the weather is much more straightforward. It is often easy to avoid needless death in such cases."
Terra says, "The weasel stole the stars from the sky, no? Perhaps the jackal stalks the departed."
Malzard says to Combust, "These visions are a different animal."
Combust nods in agreement.
Terra asks Malzard, "Did you tell them about the cleric we met, who saw a jackal after she departed to the temple?"
Wildluck glances up at the sky.
After a few moments he lowers his gaze.
Rekletiva ponders the meaning of Terra's existence.
Malzard asks, "Valleseria, was that her name?"
Terra nods.
Terra says, "Something like that."
Segenam nods.
Sylverus says, "Vision was similar as mine"
Malzard says, "She met with a Shaman of Eylhaar."
Sylverus says, "My soul was heavy as if burdened"
Malzard says, "The Shaman had few answers, truthfully. But the Cleric did see a jackal when she died shortly after the meeting."
Malzard says, "The Voidspawn said that the Jackal is stalking those not aligned with the stars."
Segenam nods.
Malzard says, "Aligned with the stars..."
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Kulinban stands up.
A stone seat collapses back into the ground.
Wildluck asks, "Interesting. How does one align with the stars?"
Wildluck chuckles.
Malzard says, "From his perspective I suppose that could mean favors."
Tizzie asks, "everyone should be a moon mage?"
Tizzie says, "we all align when whe predict"
Shalii grins at Tizzie.
Trislan says, "Perhaps something is being taken from those who depart and the Jackal is responsible."
Tizzie grins.
Kulinban glances outside a moment.
Segenam says, "Perhaps memories will not be able to be protected anymore."
Tizzie says, "oh dear"
Kougen says, "People not aligned with the stars sounds like people without favors, considering Urvkil's... perspective."
Kulinban closes his eyes and starts murmuring under his breath.
Malzard nods at Kougen, obviously agreeing with his views.
Fairich says, "From a theological standpoint, Favor orbs are a peice of the god themselves...Not just material things..."
Tizzie angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Fairich.
Segenam says, "Perhaps those with favors will not be allowed to be returned to life."
Tizzie says, "oh didn't know that"
Segenam coughs.
Segenam says, "Without."
Talarien nods to Segenam.
Combust asks, "A loss of memory, Favors, Maybe how much loss could be linked to favors?"
Trislan says, "Perhaps there is something else out there lurking. Something trying to gain power and doing so when people depart. Possibly something tied to necromancy."
Talarien says, "I was just about to say the same"
Persayis ponders.
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Tizzie says, "excuse me, I am young"
Segenam says, "That is true. That necromancer in the Prydaen lands never did die."
Tizzie asks, "but what happens now if a person dies without favor?"
Terra says, "There are many necromancers who have not died."
Rekletiva slowly and deliberately empties his filled lungs.
Tizzie asks, "do they not leave forever?"
Segenam says, "A cleric can give that person one of their own."
Mordimer stops teaching.
Mordimer begins to lecture Kulinban on the proper use of the Climbing skill.
Fairich nods to Tizzie.
Combust says, "Their soul will walk the starry road."
Tizzie exclaims, "Lyras is still alive!"
Trislan says, "Who would a necromancer worship? Perhaps that would be a good question. What if its not any of the Gods we currently know."
Tizzie lashes her tail.
Tizzie ponders.
Shalii says, "some one rezzed her I probably"
Tizzie asks, "eylhaar and alduath?"
Jamaru asks, "Their soul will walk the starry road.. but what if there is something there to stop your soul from leaving?"
Malzard says, "I would not want speculation to take us too far."
Rekletiva sighs.
Jamaru says, "Something evil.."
Malzard says, "These visions seem to be about -our- death, not necromancers perverse form of unlife."
Malzard scowls.
Malzard glances at Kougen.
Fairich nods to Malzard.
Trislan nods to Malzard.
Malzard says to Kougen, "If he meant favors...."
Segenam nods to Malzard.
Persayis just left.
Terra ponders.
Malzard says to Kougen, "What if the visions are not the Gods abandoning us at all, but simply our natural use of the favors they grant us."
Shianalee just left.
Shianalee silently steps from the shadows.
Malzard says, "The animals depart, as our favors do when we use them."
Terra says to Malzard, "Interesting theory."
Tizzie asks, "whisper ere ok is she considered undead then?"
Tizzie says, "oops"
Segenam glances at Tizzie.
The wings of Mordimer's boots flap for a moment.
Wildluck grins at Tizzie.
Tizzie coughs.
Fairich chuckles.
Rekletiva grins wryly.
Tizzie shifts uncomfortably for a moment.
Tizzie ducks her head.
Shianalee stands up.
Tizzie twitches one ear in a gesture of disinterest.
Enthraller Shianalee just went east.
Kougen says, "That makes some sense."
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Malzard says, "I will also say I expected none of us to leave with a definite answer to these questions."
Trislan grins at Malzard.
Segenam nods.
Combust nods.
Fairich says, "Perhaps only more questions? "
Fairich grins at Malzard.
Malzard says, "My hope is that we will all continue to study the skies for insight, and perhaps engage in discussions more broadly."
Trislan asks, "Do you ever get definite answers to your visions?"
Segenam mutters into the air something about the largest room is room for improvement.....
Malzard says, "I would certainly like to speak with more Clerics about this."
Rekletiva says, "After the fact, yes."
Rekletiva grins at Trislan.
Segenam nods to Malzard.
Sylverus nods to Malzard.
Wildluck says, "I'm beginning to suspect it is a warning to stock up on favors. And to not let them dwindle."
Wildluck chuckles.
Sylverus says, "I would be happy to help if I can"
Segenam says, "Wise."
Sylverus nods in agreement.
Malzard gives Wildluck a slight nod.
Fairich says, "Sound advice for anyone, Echoed by this cleric. "
Talarien says, "Well the ones prior to the stars disappearing were pretty obvious."
Malzard says, "It has always been sage advice."
Trislan says, "Thats a lot of warning for common sense though."
Tizzie says, "always wise"
Sylverus nods.
Sylverus exclaims, "Prehaps one day!"
Sylverus nods politely.
Malzard says, "But if these visions are about the benefit of favors, I suspect it means something about them will change."
Wildluck asks, "Common sdense? Didn't that die in one of the wars a while back?"
Shalii grins.
Rekletiva snickers at Wildluck.
Tizzie exclaims, "well as I get visions of me handcuffed and being marched to the marriage altar...or curse myself regularly, I'm not going to trust MY visions!"
Tizzie lashes her tail.
Terra says, "I can't help but think about those crystals we found in the mechanical spider. When rubbed, the avatar of your chosen God would show inside the crystal, it's state of health determined by your devotion to that God which you last sought favor."
Shalii grins.
Erelieva grins at Tizzie.
Segenam says, "Don't worry, I am sure you will not have to worry about that anytime soon."
Segenam glances at Tizzie.
Malzard gazes thoughtfully at Terra.
Tizzie purrs happily in Segenam's general direction.
Shalii closes her eyes and starts murmuring under her breath.
Segenam sighs.
Tizzie says, "oh dear well, meraud is dead then"
Segenam says, "Don't do that."
Segenam shudders.
Tizzie gets a shard of pearly crystal from inside her suede satchel.
Shalii says, "no"
Segenam glares at Tizzie.
Sylverus gasps at Tizzie!
Tizzie says, "and so is Hodierna"
Tizzie exclaims, "so says my shard!"
Talarien gasps at Tizzie!
Terra ponders.
Terra gets a jagged black shard from inside her belt pouch.
Terra puts her shard in her belt pouch.
Tizzie rubs her fingers over the surface of her pearly crystal, smiling to herself.
Sylverus kneels down and touches his lips with the tips of his fingers.
Rekletiva rubs his head.
Erelieva blinks at Tizzie.
Wildluck says, "Heh, thats why I stayed away from them crystals. Meraud would probably smack me silly for the fact I grab any favor and not search him out cause I'm so lazy"
Segenam blinks.
Tizzie rubs her fingers over the surface of her pearly crystal, smiling to herself.
Wildluck chuckles.
In the traveler's cloak you see some lujeakave elixir, an oak-handled burin, a jagged blue shard, a jagged blue shard, an oak-handled burin, a mirkik sokis, a jagged black shard, a jagged blue shard, a mirkik sokis, a jagged black shard, a jagged blue shard, a jagged black shard, a mirkik sokis, some bread pudding, some warm bread, a jagged black shard, a jagged blue shard, some tomato-herb flatbread, a jagged red shard, a jagged red shard, a jagged blue shard, a jagged red shard, some bread pudding, a jagged red shard, a jagged blue shard, a jagged blue shard, a jagged red shard, some boar bones, a bowl of Seven Race stew, a mirkik sokis, a mirkik sokis, a jagged black shard, an oak-handled burin, an oak-handled burin, some warm bread, a rough bath towel, a clear crystal hourglass, an oak-handled burin and a mixing stick.
Terra taps something inside her belt pouch.
Tizzie grins at Wildluck.
Kougen gets a shard of sky-blue crystal from inside his linen sack.
In the journey pack you see a crocodile-skin buckler, a crocodile-skin buckler, a leather bank book, a yelith root, a bag of jalapeno popcorn, a bag of jalapeno popcorn, a bag of jalapeno popcorn, a bag of buttery popcorn, a bag of jalapeno popcorn, a bag of caramel popcorn, a bag of caramel popcorn, a bag of caramel popcorn, a bag of buttery popcorn, a storyteller's hat, a vault book, a ocarina, a wax tablet, a piece of hhr'lav'geluhh bark, a moldering scroll, a yellowed scroll, a simple bison-hide scroll, a clay tablet, an ivory-hilted jambiya, a pair of traveler's sandals, some oravir slivers, a tarnished spoon, a white fishbone, a white fishbone, a white fishbone, a white fishbone, a white fishbone, a dried jadice flower, some georin grass, some hisan salve, some hisan salve, a jadice flower, a jadice flower, some bundling rope, a jadice flower, a braided bundling rope, a braided bundling rope, some sufil sap, a yelith root, a cebi root, some muljin sap, a simple snakeskin scroll, some green sea glass, some dried georin grass, some crossbow bolts, a hide scraper, a yelith root, some dracon powder, a large jar, a red leather mask, a sapphire prism, a riolur leaf, a soft gem pouch, a goblet of sainyuso suur, a goblet of black suur, a cup of spring water, a mug of dark mint tea, a mug of dark mint tea, a wax tablet, a white fishbone, an ironwood quadrello, a blued-steel steel broadsword, a piece of black flint, a duffel bag, a bag of buttery popcorn, a shark's tooth, a butcher knife, a steel-bladed harki knife, some miniature pirate ships, a stone mortar, a razor and some clippers.
Tizzie says, "well I look at this crystal and see a unicorn dead"
Tizzie sighs.
Tizzie puts her crystal in her suede satchel.
Fairich begins to carefully examine a sable iron shield with a brass boss.
Tizzie says, "the same happened for thw wolf"
Terra gets a shard of dove-grey crystal from inside her belt pouch.
Segenam blinks.
Kougen says, "Looks like I'm safe."
Shalii stops listening to Terra.
Tizzie says, "and I had just gotten favors from them"
Rekletiva says, "Perhaps you cannot serve two masters."
Kougen chuckles.
Terra says, "Albreda favors me, it seems."
Terra rubs her fingers over the surface of her dove-grey crystal, smiling to herself.
Talarien says, "I think that represents your relationship with your God, not the God itself."
Tizzie says, "oh"
Tizzie says, "heh a friend gave me one"
Tizzie grins.
Kougen puts his crystal in his linen sack.
Terra puts her crystal in her belt pouch.
Tizzie exclaims, "well I'm young, I can't be expected to have a lot of favors!"
Combust smiles and takes notes on memory loss and favors. Look intent on focusing his details.
Tizzie lashes her tail.
Trislan says, "You should. Favors are easy."
Terra nods at Trislan, obviously agreeing with his views.
Tizzie says, "the gods shouldn't be dead if I just got favors from them"
Malzard says, "For me I take away a more confident belief that these visions are about something that will impact all of us, and likely something to do with favors and memories upon death."
Tizzie says, "I am working on them"
Tizzie nods to Trislan.
Sylverus says to Trislan, "If only they all thought that way"
Sylverus smiles.
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Segenam nods to Malzard.
Trislan grins slowly.
Malzard says, "The resurrection chamber still concerns me."
Terra says, "You know, I seem to have been right about a few God related things recently, so I am going to go out on a limb."
Sylverus stands up.
Terra ponders.
Malzard says, "Not being able to rise..."
Malzard frowns.
Tizzie says, "I got that same vision too"
Fairich nods to Malzard.
Tizzie nods.
Malzard glances at Terra.
Rekletiva says, "But the soul is in the body, at least."
Tizzie scoots over a little closer to Erelieva.
Combust says, "As you felt heavy as if trapped.."
Terra says, "Perhaps our devotion to the Immortals will somehow impact our experience with departure. Meaning, my experience as a devout Albreda follower, may be different than yours as a follower of Firulf."
Malzard gives you a slight nod.
Terra cocks her head at Malzard.
Malzard says to Rekletiva, "That is something, at least."
Erelieva nods to Tizzie.
Malzard gives Terra a slight nod.
Segenam asks, "And that brings up the idea...what does devout really mean?"
Terra says, "The visions seem to indicate that people are being abandoned, perhaps for a lack of faith? "
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
Tizzie nods to Erelieva.
Terra says, "I do not know, the more I speak about it the more wrong I feel."
Terra furrows her brow.
Malzard says, "You are not the only one to suggest it. The Gods may begin to define their roles in our deaths more specifically."
Talarien says, "I do know that the more favors a person has, the easier it is for a cleric to resurrect"
Fairich nods to Talarien.
Terra says, "Well, Clerics would obviously have a different definition of devout than non clerics, given their roles."
Tizzie asks, "might I add an experience a friend of mine had?"
Tizzie purrs happily in Erelieva's general direction.
Tizzie's ears perk up happily.
Fairich nods at Terra, obviously agreeing with her views.
Terra says, "But to me, I only gain favors from one Immortal. I consider that devout."
Malzard gives Tizzie a slight nod.
Combust nods to Terra.
Tizzie says, "your remark about gods intervening more"
Combust says, "Good opinion I think."
Talarien says, "No, I mean the easier it is for them to resurrect us the more favors we non-clerics have."
Rekletiva raises an eyebrow in Talarien's direction.
Tizzie says, "she got, when she depart after her memories were protected the vision that only kertigan and his will got her alive"
Tizzie says, "and she worships Kuniyo"
Terra fixes Tizzie with a serene, lofty stare.
Tizzie shrugs.
Terra says, "Now that is interesting."
Tizzie says, "is what she told me"
Student Niijuvish just arrived.
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Fairich ponders.
Segenam says, "That seems normal. I had the same when I departed."
Fairich gets an oaken icon of the god Chadatru from inside his canvas backpack.
Tizzie says, "I only have depart the once"
Tizzie says, "i don't know"
Fairich gently rubs the Chadatru icon, brushing away any dust and grime.
Tizzie says, "and that time I got the vision Malzard had of the resurrection chamer"
Tizzie says, "er chamber"
Segenam says, "Kertigan was the one who decided that favors would be able to bring people back from death."
Terra says, "I often remember fleeting memories upon departing, but not much else."
Rekletiva asks, "When you departed?"
Rekletiva glances at Tizzie, a female Prydaen.
Tizzie says, "I have departed once"
An obstreperous Shadow Servant disappears.
Bubbling just left.
Bubbling just arrived.
Fairich nods to Segenam.
Tizzie says, "and my mems were no protected"
Tinkerer Totenus just went east.
Rekletiva asks, "And you saw a prophetic vision?"
Wildluck says, "I haven't had to depart in a long while. When I used to, I'd depart so fast the grave would be above the ground."
Wildluck chuckles.
Combust says, "maybe a study of how many favors with the gods they were granted may play a part"
Terra says, "Me? I saw no prophetic vision."
Tizzie says, "all I saw was a resurrection chamber where I had awful feelings and couldn't rise"
Rekletiva says to Terra, "I meant Tizzie."
Tizzie says, "i don't know if it is prophetic"
Aristron asks, "Is this phenomena widespread amongst those in here who have recently departed from their remains?"
Terra nods to Rekletiva.
Terra says to Rekletiva, "My apologies."
Tizzie says, "I'm just barely the littlest moon mage"
I could not find what you were referring to.
Rekletiva waves his hand dismissively.
Combust closes his eyes and starts murmuring under his breath.
Segenam says, "I departed recently without my memories protected, and I saw nothing of the sort."
Tizzie shrugs.
Tizzie says, "I have only died once"
Tizzie says, "I have no other experience"
Talarien asks, "Perhaps the level of favor you have with your God will determine how protected your memories will be. And with the references to childhood, what if older memories become vulnerable?"
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
Battle Mage Mordimer's group just went east.
Segenam says, "That is a reasonable speculation."
Sylverus nods in agreement.
Segenam nods to Talarien.
Anabel gives Jamaru a gentle poke in the ribs.
Malzard asks Talarien, "Elaborate? The Gods will steal away our childhoods if we fail to maintain favors?"
Malzard wryly asks, "A benevolent kick in the pants before walking the starry road?"
Malzard frowns.
Segenam chuckles.
Battle Mage Mordimer's group just arrived.
Aristron says, "I have been serving the Gods in this field for a short while now, but there is one common thing I have noticed. Most who are in need of my services have sought after few favors with Them whom we serve. I believe this to be a warning, a call to wake up, if you will."
Terra asks Malzard, "Yours was so long ago, would you even have memories of it?"
Aristron says, "I believe this is a warning as to the increase in apostasy in the lands."
Combust nods to Terra.
Talarien says, "Perhaps we'll start forgetting things we already know, not just recent memories, but memories of the past as well."
Kulinban stops listening to Mordimer.
Kulinban stops listening to Terra.
Talarien says, "The departing of knowledge, as in the departure of the albatross"
Tizzie says, "that's scary"
Tizzie says, "but my people have been through that as I understand"
Combust says, "Memories of days before the inventions of buckets of vicious gloop"
Fairich just left.
Terra snickers.
Rekletiva smirks.
Bubbling chuckles.
Segenam snickers.
Terra says, "Dark days indeed."
Terra rubs a small bubbling cauldron of viscous gloop.
Jamaru grins at Anabel.
Shalii says, "losing memories might mean forgetting how to prepare spells"
Homikrin just arrived.
Combust nods at Terra, obviously agreeing with her views.
Talarien says, "Lemicus represents libraries in part, accumulated knowledge"
Segenam nods.
Malzard frowns at Shalii.
Tizzie brushes her toes with her tail.
Shalii mutters into the air something about sorry.
Malzard says to Shalii, "A cruelty I would not put past them."
Anabel grins at Jamaru.
Terra says, "My speculation is that it has less to do with what the Gods represents, and more the symbology of what is happening in the visions."
Aristron says, "They whom we all beseech for Their gift of renewed life may not forever grant boons to them who cannot take the time to worship and offer praise. This may very well be our final warning, one given in a form that cannot be dismissed or ignored."
Combust ponders.
Talarien says, "again the wolves could signify departing knowledge"
Terra says, "But then there is the question of the Jackal, of the resurrection chamber and of the bloody kittens."
Mordimer begins to lecture Kulinban on the proper use of the Perception skill.
Tizzie nods to Erelieva.
Shalii stops listening to Sylverus.
Sylverus exclaims, "Couldn't put it past the gods to make you travel backwards in your advancement for such a price of life!"
Malzard gives Aristron a slight nod.
Wildluck says, "Oh please, don't take me back to the days of no runes, no cambrinth"
Wildluck cowers in fear.
Talarien says, "Perhaps larger sacrifices will be required for favors? When we rub the orbs, we fill them with our recent knowldge, our curent memories."
Segenam shudders.
Malzard says, "If we shirk the Gods favor we will surely suffer."
Jamaru says, "Bloody kittens.."
A tear runs down Jamaru's face.
The shimmering ethereal shield fades from around Trislan.
Anabel pats Jamaru on the back.
Malzard says, "While I have you all here..."
Shalii glances at Jamaru.
Tizzie angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Malzard.
Malzard says, "The day the Kaldaran attacked the northeast gate."
Sylverus nods.
Tizzie lashes her tail.
Malzard asks, "Did any of you see him anywhere other than the northeast gate or the moon mage guild?"
Rekletiva slides an albredine crystal ring off his finger.
Rekletiva puts his ring in his journey pack.
Student Niijuvish just went east.
Malzard gives a slight nod.
Malzard says, "Very good then. Thank you."
Wildluck says, "He may have been in Theren. I was zoning out so much I can't say for sure."
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Malzard says to Wildluck, "He can move like us."
Malzard gives a slight nod.
Battle Mage Mordimer's group just went east.
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
The wings of Combust's slippers stretch for a moment.
Wildluck says, "But if he was, nobody said a word and I know not everyone was sleeping on their feet."
Wildluck chuckles.
Kelvena studies the faces around her.
Rekletiva grins.
Tizzie brushes her toes with her tail.
Malzard says, "Well, it seems we have reached a natural point of conclusion for the formal gathering."
As Tizzie pets the shadowling, it squints its eyes shut and flattens its wings against its body.
Talarien says, "I'm fairly young as a moon mage myself, and I do have a question regarding visions since we've been on the topic, although not realted to the newest ones."
Malzard says, "I recommend we all take whatever insight we may have gained here and couple it with continued observations and predictions of the future."
Segenam asks, "As our Guildleader said, enough babbling, back to our studies?"
Segenam smiles at Malzard.
Kelvena grins.
Malzard says, "Thank you all for coming. I'll linger here for a while if you'd like to stay and enjoy some fruitcake, or have any other questions for me."
Malzard gives Talarien a slight nod.
Malzard says to Talarien, "Go ahead."
Anabel nods.
Tizzie joins Erelieva's group.
Terra says, "Enjoy fruitcake."
Terra chortles softly at some secret joke.
Combust bows to Malzard.
Rekletiva grins at Terra.
Segenam says, "Thank you for hosting this, Master Malzard."
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Anabel says, "Thanks for hosting this Malzard."
Aristron says, "I must insist that any studying done is similarly accompanied by beseeches to Them who are granting us this insight into the future that is as of yet to transpire. This is no light warning."
Anabel leaps to her feet!
Segenam bows to Malzard.
Trislan grins at Malzard.
Anabel curtsies to Malzard.
Malzard nods graciously at Aristron, giving him a polite smile.
Terra says to Malzard, "I'm glad you were able to host this tonight."
Tizzie nods to Aristron.
Erelieva smiles at Malzard.
Combust exclaims to Malzard, "You are gracious with your insite! May the stars shine bright over you!"
Segenam stands up.
Aristron nods graciously at Malzard, giving him a polite smile.
Shalii smiles.
Malzard says, "Thank you all. It was...a twist of Fate."
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Segenam chuckles.
Anabel grins.
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Trislan grins.
Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.

Anabel says, "So modest."
Shalii stands up.
Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Tizzie stands up.
Tizzie stretches her arms.
Shalii glances at Levinas.
Segenam says, "Indeed."
Kaiyven curtsies to Malzard.
Anabel says, "It's the turban...squeezing his brain."
Tizzie brushes her shins with her tail.
Kaiyven glances at Pormithius.
Talarien says, "Well I've been studying the skies quite a lot and I've noticed patterns to a number of teh visions, but I'm insure as to how vital these are."
Kougen says, "Lunar fruitcake."
Kougen chortles softly at some secret joke.
Wildluck asks, "So whats it like being a cat herder now?"
Wildluck pokes Malzard in the ribs.
Shalii sighs.
Bubbling curtsies to Malzard.
Rubylane stops listening to Sylverus.
Anabel waves a slice of lunar fruitcake made with blueberries, cherries and black walnuts around.
Rekletiva chortles at Wildluck.
Malzard says to Kougen, "You missed my pushing it."
Tizzie angles her ears forward, gazing curiously at Talarien.
Anabel puts her fruitcake in her tattered cloak.
Anabel says, "Safe paths all."
Malzard says to Kougen, "It makes a fine weapon as well, take a few."
Anabel waves.
Segenam chuckles.
Segenam waves.
Kougen asks, "You didn't tell them it was out of this world, did you?"
Talarien says, "I mean, I'm not sure how recent these visions began to be experienced"
Stalker Anabel just went south.
Trislan says to Malzard, "I'm off. I'll come by and visit you in Shard sometime."
Pormithius puts his fruitcake in his tome satchel.
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Mathematician Segenam just went east.
Malzard nods politely to Trislan.
Trislan nods politely to Malzard.

Shalii takes a seat near Levinas.
Pormithius says to Malzard, "Until next time then, my friend."
Talarien says, "err recently"
Rekletiva says, "You can never be certain of that."
Bubbling stops listening to Terra.
Trislan waves.
Erelieva nods to Tizzie.
Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Wildluck says, "Oh, there are many old visions still showing. Keeps me so bored I miss the new ones"
Malzard wraps his arm around Pormithius's shoulder in a friendly hug.
Mystic Blade Bubbling just went south.
Aristron casually observes the area.
Trislan puts his fruitcake in a black spidersilk backpack.
Wildluck chuckles.
Pormithius wraps his arm around Malzard's shoulder in a friendly hug.
Malzard says to Pormithius, "Until later."

Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Trislan just went east.
Mystic Blade Bubbling just arrived.
Mystic Blade Bubbling just went east.
Pormithius nods in agreement.
Tizzie asks, "Talarian what was your question?"
Pormithius says to Kaiyven, "Off we go."
Pormithius holds hands with Kaiyven.
Malzard says to Kougen, "I didn't have to tell them."
Pormithius's group just went east.
Kelvena stands up.
Talarien says, "Well older moon mages might know what these visions relate to, that we wounger ones might not be aware of"
Malzard asks Kougen, "Can't you just taste it?"
Tizzie nods to Talarien.
Combust exclaims, "Yesterday is history, and tomarrows a mystory, but today is a gift, that is why it is called present!"
Malzard says to Talarien, "Elaborate."
Malzard asks Talarien, "What sort of patterns?"
Kougen asks, "Am I not supposed to eat it?"
Bluebella just arrived.
Erelieva takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Combust leaps to his feet!
Bluebella stands up.
Tizzie begins to carefully examine a lunar fruitcake.
Malzard says to Kougen, "You could throw it instead."
Contemplator Kelnorree just arrived.
Malzard looks at Kougen and shrugs.
Kelnorree takes a seat.
Tizzie takes a bite of the fruitcake.

Tizzie takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Tizzie takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Tizzie takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Tizzie takes a bite of the fruitcake.
The little seagull carving within Bluebella's seaglass wave darkens briefly as night-black specks whirl around it. Slowly, they fade, leaving only the memory of the shadows behind.
Tizzie licks her lips.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
A golden snake shifts its position on Bluebella's shoulders. Flicking its tongue against her cheek, it slides down to coil about her finger.
Kougen says, "Not with so many people around, I could put out an eye."
(Rekletiva would prefer flapjacks.)
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Rekletiva gazes at his fingernails.
Shalii grins.
Wildluck says, "Eat fruitcake? Are you nuts? Save it, and in a few weeks it'll be the hardest hitting tkt ammo you can find"
Talarien says, "well for example there's a series of visions of people of different races who have just made some sort of discovery, and yet at their moment of triumph some form of death or disaster looms"
Sylverus gets a circle of obsidian from inside his spidersilk backpack.
Sylverus presses a circle of obsidian against his forehead. The gem glows hotly for a moment, clinging to his skin.
Tizzie raises an eyebrow in Talarien's direction.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Larhea just arrived.
Combust opens his scribe's rucksack.
Rekletiva carefullys search the skies looking for insight into future events.
The constellation of The Wolf seems to have a fluctuating influence.
The constellation of The Cat's celestial position warrants consideration.
The constellation of The Wolverine's celestial position warrants consideration.
The constellation of The Spider sees all from its heavenly perch.
The constellation of The Goshawk seems to have a potent power over the future.
Rekletiva feels a lingering sense of dissatisfaction and think the heavens bear further observation before you attempt to unravel the mysteries of the future.
Roundtime: 10 Seconds.
Combust gets a circle of obsidian from inside his scribe's rucksack.
Combust presses a circle of obsidian against his forehead. The gem glows hotly for a moment, clinging to his skin.
Larhea's flower charm flickers a moment before reverting to its natural form.
Larhea stands up.
Kelnorree gets a smooth black crystal from inside his traveler's haversack.
Kelnorree concentrates intently on a smooth black crystal.
Kelnorree puts his crystal in his traveler's haversack.
Sylverus holds hands with Bluebella.
Sylverus holds hands with Larhea.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Shalii says, "Oh Valleseria"
Malzard says to Talarien, "Ah, these lingering predictions of events are an interesting thing."
The light refracts deep within the cat's eye flaw of Larhea's ruby, causing it to flare into a bright flame for a moment.
Sylverus's group just went east.
Rekletiva gestures.
Jamaru says to Kougen, "You'd be surprised, there are some skilled fruitcake-eaters here."
Rekletiva gestures.
Kelnorree takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Kelnorree takes a bite of the fruitcake.

Talarien says, "another series seems to relate to some sort of military activity, and yet another series seems to warn of some sort of espionage plot"
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Tizzie's tail swishes through the air.
Shalii says, "Master Malzard, about the cleric Valleseria"
Tizzie nods to Erelieva.
Dreamer Erelieva's group just went east.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Malzard says to Talarien, "Are they truly future events happening often? Are they visions of events so significant they resonante decades in advance of their happening? Or simply a meaningless relic of our attempts to collectively organize massive amounts of possible futures."
Aristron strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Malzard glances at Shalii.
Shalii says, "she is a friend of the family and she is always dying"
Malzard gives Shalii a slight nod.
Talarien asks, "are these relating to specific past events adn are still echoing in the heavens?"
Shalii says, "just as she has now done"
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Malzard says to Talarien, "For many of them, I know of no specific event. But I am a single man, and a novitiate. They may well have occured."
Malzard says to Talarien, "Or not."
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Talarien sighs deeply, looking very depressed.
Wildluck says, "Thats the bad part. Some are past events, and yet could also portend to future events. Everyone knows we need another war"
Kougen says, "Any of them which I can think of that have now occured in hindsight, I no longer see."
Malzard gives Shalii a slight nod.
Talarien asks, "need? how can you possibly say we need a war??"
Kelnorree asks, "why is a war needed? And where is the knowledge found of the need of it?"
Rekletiva says, "There are cleansings that need to happen."
Rekletiva gazes at his fingernails.
Rekletiva says, "Or so I've heard."
Kelnorree asks, "Cleansings?"
Wildluck says, "I'm just saying what I hear from the war mongers. We need another war."
Wildluck chuckles.
Motes of glimmering cerulean light trail from the orb as it hovers placidly near Aristron.
Kelnorree asks, "who decides what needs cleaning?"
Rubylane's cloak flutters softly in the breeze.
Rekletiva says, "Tallis, last I checked."
Kougen says, "The head butler."
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Terra says, "The Children of Kaelstrum need to be cleansed from the Moon Mage Guild, and I think Tallis wishes to cleanse all of the unfaithful of Elanthia. She's quite the inquisitor."
Rekletiva says, "I'm sure Annael would start a war, too, if she could."
Talarien says, "There are humanist factions out there too, as I have been unfortunate to discover. Direct racial prejudice"
Kelvena studies the faces around her.
Kelnorree sighs softly as the pale yellow sparks surrounding his body fade away.
Terra nods to Rubylane.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Talarien says, "hm. well that appeared to be a conversation stopper..."
Shalii glances at Levinas.
Shalii grins at Talarien.
Wildluck chuckles.
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
(Rekletiva notices a distinct lack of Humans present.)
Kelvena studies the faces around her.
Aristron says, "It is far from my place to impose on these proceedings, but I believe that we are ill prepared to face the looming threat. I believe these visions are but another in a series of warnings attesting to this."
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Kelnorree asks, "how will dividing the guild, cleansing it of members, lead to greater wisdom and understanding?"
Kelnorree says, "it would seem to create the opposite"
Rekletiva asks Kelnorree, "Who said anything about wisdom and understanding?"
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Kelvena raises an eyebrow.
Kelnorree asks you, "is that not our purpose?"
Malzard asks Aristron, "Are you ill prepared?"
Rekletiva asks, "Says who?"
Kelnorree says, "says the Accord"
Shalii holds a sky-blue imnera runestone in both hands and closes her eyes in concentration.
Rekletiva smiles.
Kelvena says, "The Children of Kalestraum are not a part of the guild."
Kelvena folds her arms across her chest.
Rekletiva says, "Neither is Tallis."
Kougen takes a bite of the fruitcake.
Aristron says to Malzard, "I have long been pursuing this enemy in its myriad manifestations. I consider myself blessed for being able to witness these resurgances for what they are."
Aristron says, "I also feel blessed in that, though recently placing my soul in Their hands by departing from my body, having received no vision or portents of doom or looming pain."
On the donation shelf you see a silver armband, a piece of hhr'lav'geluhh bark, a mug of dark mint tea, a soft iron keyblank, a set of colorful balls and a field goblin skin.
Urzhad just left.
Kelnorree asks, "then how do the Children and Tallis have such an involvement with us if they are not of the guild?"
Rekletiva squints at Kelnorree.
Wildluck says, "Same way the Outcast armies did. They just rolled on in"
Wildluck chuckles.
Rekletiva asks Kelnorree, "Are you dense, or just idealistic?"
Malzard says to Aristron, "Is that a unique achievement? I have not been clear on the exact occurances of such post-departing sensations."
Kelnorree says to Rekletiva, "a fair question and the answer is most likely both"
Rubylane just left.
Rekletiva nods to Kelnorree.
Rekletiva says, "Tallis is over there."
Rekletiva points west.
Rekletiva says, "Kalestraum is over there."
Rekletiva points south.
Aristron says to Malzard, "I am not privvy to how widespread these occurances have been. I hear murmurings in groups of those who have experienced it. In my calling, I am honored to be Their tool, to bring Their gift of life back to those in need of it. Those I interact with on a daily basis do not depart."
Rekletiva says, "Oh, and Taramaine is that way."
Rekletiva points north.
Kelvena points northeast.
Malzard gives Aristron a slight nod.
Kougen chortles softly at some secret joke.
(Rekletiva points north-northeast.)
Malzard says to Aristron, "I don't know, would have sufficed."
Kelvena grins.
Aristron says, "Therefore, on that basis, I am outside of the direct line that leads to these visions."
Kelnorree smiles at Malzard.
Kougen says, "Okay, I'm off to resume keeping an eye on the south."
Malzard smiles at Kougen.
Shalii grins.
Malzard says to Kougen, "It was good seeing you. I'm sorry I didn't wait."
Kelnorree sighs.
Kougen grins at Malzard.
Wildluck says, "Well, if ya see Urv, tell him I'm still waiting on that spell."
Kougen says, "Not at all, I was trying to be fashionably late."
Wildluck chuckles.
Malzard chuckles to himself.
You've gained a new rank in scholarship.
Aristron says to Malzard, "I was under the impression this was an institute for advanced thinking. I would not presume to speak down to learned individuals, you have earned the respect of a complete thought."
Lightcrafter Kougen just went south.
Rekletiva snickers at Aristron.
Malzard says to Aristron, "Then you honor me."
A looming Shadow Servant trudges off, following its master.
Malzard nods graciously at Aristron, giving him a polite smile.
Talarien says, "shali} It's good to see you by the way. I haven't been around much of late."
Shalii smiles at Talarien.
Talarien coughs.
Aristron says, "And too many nuances are significant when it comes to visions. Perhaps a minor detail may be recognized by someone here for what it's value truly is."
Shalii says, "It was good to see yuo again"
Talarien smiles at Shalii.
Kelnorree raises his arms skyward, chanting.
Shalii says, "I have been studying hard"
Shalii smiles.
Malzard says to Aristron, "Collaboration is vital, indeed. You seem quite convinced in your interpretation of the enemy and the course ahead, however."
Apprentice Moon Mage Homikrin just went south.
Aristron asks Malzard, "If I may, has there been any fortelling or visions relating to the events recently dealt with, concerning the mold eminating from the old manor?"
Malzard strokes his beard in thoughtful contemplation.
Shalii says, "mutter 'that worker sure comes in here a lot"
Talarien says, "Have the clerics had any other visions? I know you were having some that corroborated the ones we were having prior to the Holy Festival"
Kelnorree says, "the hallucinations the mold causes lingers"
Aristron says to Malzard, "I have been witness to recent events that reinforce my views, aside from these visions."
Aristron nods to Kelnorree.
Malzard says to Aristron, "None that I have interpreted as reference to mold, or the effects it has had on the men and goblins in that area."
Malzard says, "However I have not experienced these hallucinations."
Aristron says, "I have been working with the Keep for some time now in the investigation into this mold. What troubles me is not the halleucenegic properties. It is the properties tainted with necromancy."
Kelnorree says, "they are "
Kelnorree says, "realistic"
Malzard asks, "Is some of your insight coming from that?"
Aristron nods to Malzard.

Kelnorree asks, "are the visions they give tied to what happenedin the manor house?"
Wildluck says, "Well, better go see what Martyka is going to sell me befor she thinks I really don't have any money left."
Wildluck chuckles.
Wildluck waves.
Kelnorree nods to Wildluck.
Aristron says, "Some is. There is an evil that has long existed in these lands. We see manifestations in pockets, from the Silverwater area, to the areas of the Abbey which have been reclaimed."
Shalii says, "Magus Malzard, May I ask a question"
Malzard gives a slight nod.
Aristron says, "And knowing the magical source of this mold, I feel this is but further evidence."
Shalii says, "if one hears voices speaking, ist that similar to a vision"
Master Moon Mage Wildluck just went east.
Rekletiva glances at Shalii, a female Rakash.
Talarien asks Aristron, "Have you found anything out about the spores?"
Aristron says, "What troubles me is that in the face of even physical manifestations, ghouls and zombies, that a majority of those seeking my assistance in being brought back to life have few favors. Whether by apathy or apostasy, the result is the same."
Terra sighs.
Malzard gives Aristron a slight nod.
Malzard says, "We shirk the Gods favor to our own demise."
Malzard says, "Nothing could be more true."
Talarien says, "I think the Gods might feel that the Holy Festival didn't accomplish what they wanted. Perhaps this is going to be round two in their goal of schooling us in devotion."
Aristron says to Talarien, "We have experimented with them through every alchemical process we know of, but have not found anything. We have the last notes of the Lord of the manor, whose mage created the mold. We also have statements of the Goblins, who have experienced it directly. But nothing substantial."
Rekletiva chuckles at Talarien.
Kelnorree asks Aristron, "are the spores a conduit?"
Rekletiva says, "Note to self. Plats do not appease gods."
Kelnorree smiles at you.
Aristron says, "There were trinkets sold at the Holy Festival that defy magical discernment, yet are used frequently for their magical properties."
Talarien says, "And there are these..."
Talarien gets an elegantly crafted wyndewood nightingale totem from inside his deep indigo sack.
Talarien taps an elegantly crafted wyndewood nightingale totem that he is holding.
Aristron says to Kelnorree, "I, along with Cyiarriah and Powerhaus, was one of the first in the manor. We have been continually exposed to the spores throughout the investigation. We each have seen visions; however, they defy my own attempts at interpretation."
Terra says, "I must be going class. Thank you for holding this, Malzard."
Terra waves.

Malzard says to Aristron, "Hallucinigenic mold created by some vengeful necromancer."
Kelnorree asks, "what was their original purpose?"
Kelnorree removes a cambrinth wren medallion from his neck.
Malzard says, "...I'm not saying it is not a relatively accurate comparison to our form of prediction and visions..."
Aristron says, "However, they were noted as exceeding their own designed purpose even before the Lord of the manor killed himself. And there were no necromantic reactions documented at that time."
Malzard chuckles to himself.
Aristron nods to Malzard.
Malzard asks, "But could it be that those hallucinations are entirely unrelated to these visions?"
Kelnorree says, "I had the sense they were related to events in the manor house"
Shalii glances at Levinas.
Aristron says to Kelnorree, "The mage was hired to create prey of a challenge worthy of a great hunter, as the Lord of the house claimed to be. The mage was unwilling and was summarily beaten."

Dreamer Shalii just went south.
Aristron says to Kelnorree, "He responded to this by creating a mold that would affix itself to the property around the Lord of the house, then the burrowers were created to consume everything tainted by the mold."
Kelnorree asks, "but they have begun to fail in that task, have they not?"
Aristron says, "But before this Lord killed himself, sparing him the agony, he noted the mold had begun to take on to itself a sort of life and had begun spreading on its own."
Malzard says, "You are lucky not be completely insane."
Aristron says, "In fact, the only thing that seemed to prevent a widespread outbreak has been a wall of slime sealing the one navigable passage inside and out."
Kelnorree says, "the mold is on both sides now though"
Aristron says to Malzard, "We three watched ourselves for days after the initial exposure. That was a definite possibility at the time."
Malzard gives a slight nod.
Aristron says to Malzard, "Of course, Prince Vorclaf also jokingly threatened to have us burned for public health. But to be sure, there is no telling what any long-term effects might be."
Malzard says, "I believe our visions relate to a broader change to come, beyond what has happened in the manor and surrounding preserve."
Levinas just left.
Kelnorree nods to Malzard.
Malzard says, "I also believe they relate strongly to out experiences upon death and our favor with the Gods."
Aristron says, "I have continued my vigils and continue to beseech Them whom I serve for strength and purity."
Aristron nods to Malzard.
Malzard says, "Your charge to increase devotion can only been seen positively in that respect."
Rekletiva says to Malzard, "The cleric's talk reminds me of Teleology."
Malzard smiles slightly.
Malzard wryly says to Rekletiva, "Luckily we have some experience in having reasonable discussions with both."
Aristron says, "That is troubling, but seems to fit in with a general warning against the growing spiritual apathy."
Rekletiva grins wryly.
Aldoraan stands up.
Mystic Aldoraan just went east.
Kelvena studies the faces around her.
Malzard gives Aristron a slight nod.
Kelnorree raises his arms skyward, chanting.

Segenam says, "It was not."
Rekletiva says, "Urvkil was mentioned."
Segenam says, "Please do not mention his name."

Rekletiva smiles.
