re: [RP Notepad]: 3/11/2010 Sun Rock Retreat

The Place: Sun Rock Retreat, a small outpost high in the Stonetalon Mountains of north-central Kalimdor. Cradled in a narrow valley between the high peaks and filled constantly with the song of the birds and the sound of the wind whispering through the canyons, it lies just south of Mirkfallon Lake, where the tawny wyverns befriended by the Horde windriders make their nests and rear their young, and is the last inhabited stop for young Tauren druids on the pilgrimage route to Stonetalon Peak.

The Players: Dayari Antarios, a Forsaken rogue whose memory is not what it could be; Jinjinn, a troll shaman suffering a crisis of faith; Solivar Eventide, a blood elf death knight in search of many lost things; Meton, a blood elf death knight, the strong but silent type; Aethris, a blood elf paladin who seeks to drown his sorrows quite literally in bourbon; Kalrion, a tauren druid and Aethris' companion, whose concern for his friend is very clear; Pantheion, an orcish warrior of jovial temperament and many, many children; Zentao, a blood elf priest with deep knowledge of the ways of the Forgotten Shadow; Darrzinn, a blood elf death knight, the strong but not at all silent type.

A Forsaken rogue settles stealthily down next to a campfire...

3/11 20:29:56.663 Dayari looks at the fire

[Jinjinn enters in the form of a translucent blue-silver spirit wolf.]

3/11 20:31:10.814 Dayari says: Hmm...you're a dog now?

3/11 20:31:17.412 Jinjinn says: What...

3/11 20:31:21.763 Jinjinn says: Are you doin' here?

3/11 20:31:30.410 Dayari says: Nevermind...not so much a dog anymore.

3/11 20:31:32.042 Jinjinn says: Dis be my home.

3/11 20:31:37.508 Solivar inclines his head in greeting to Dayari, and to the newcomer.

3/11 20:31:42.307 Dayari says: A lot of dirt.

3/11 20:31:45.624 Jinjinn says: Dey sent you to check up on me here didn't dey.

3/11 20:32:05.551 Dayari says: I'm not sure, but probably.

3/11 20:32:06.735 Jinjinn says: Joo tell dem t' leave Jinjinn alone.

3/11 20:32:19.166 Jinjinn says: I don' be answerin' dem no more.

3/11 20:32:26.779 Dayari says: Alright, I will tell them that.

3/11 20:32:31.762 Jinjinn says: So you can go now

3/11 20:32:40.061 Dayari says: I should write it down first.

3/11 20:32:44.626 Jinjinn taps his foot. Hurry up already!

3/11 20:33:02.822 Solivar gazes rather perplexedly at Jinjinn.

3/11 20:33:03.806 Dayari looks through a satchel, pulling a tattered piece of pale cloth free.

3/11 20:33:29.467 Solivar says: I...do not know if Dayari was sent here...

3/11 20:33:32.149 Jinjinn begins to have a conversation with Grawnal

3/11 20:33:54.794 Dayari then writes with a series of quick strokes.

3/11 20:33:56.377 Jinjinn says: I don't remembah joo, elf.

3/11 20:34:04.126 Dayari says: Hmm...problem...

3/11 20:34:09.159 Solivar says: But I have come here before when I sought solitude, and found it peaceful.

3/11 20:34:13.274 Dayari points at Jinjinn.

3/11 20:34:18.490 Dayari says: Who am I supposed to tell?

3/11 20:34:19.289 Jinjinn nods at you.

3/11 20:34:30.323 Jinjinn says: Dat be why I be livin' here... for a while now.

3/11 20:34:57.515 Jinjinn says: Those who sent you... dah damn Loa!

3/11 20:35:00.781 You blink at Dayari.

3/11 20:35:11.095 Solivar says: ....Dayari?

3/11 20:35:14.878 Jinjinn looks angrily at Dayari

3/11 20:35:17.793 Dayari says: I thought you were friends with them? I'm pretty sure you used to be.

3/11 20:35:52.987 Jinjinn says: Dey no friend o' mine.... or Steadfast....dey dah enemy to us all.

3/11 20:36:12.565 Solivar glances back and forth between the two, confusion evident.

3/11 20:36:34.728 Dayari says: Oh.

3/11 20:36:40.027 Solivar says: Greetings, brother. Join us if you will.

3/11 20:37:00.304 Dayari waves at Meton.

3/11 20:37:21.567 Dayari says: So where do I find these Loa that I'm supposed to tell about you?

3/11 20:37:55.193 Solivar 's gaze rests on Jinjinn, curious.

3/11 20:38:05.676 Jinjinn says: If you don' know.. if you really don' know... den don' be wastin' yer time. Do yerself a favor and never seek dem out.

3/11 20:38:24.489 Dayari says: I thought you said I was sent to check up on you? If I was sent, I should listen.

3/11 20:39:22.144 Jinjinn says: It's jus' be a conicidence den dat my ol' fellowship happens to show on Jinjinn' doorstep?

3/11 20:39:33.723 Dayari shrugs at Jinjinn. Who knows?

3/11 20:40:03.267 Solivar says: I am beginning to seriously doubt that.

3/11 20:40:39.525 Dayari says: I doubt it too.

3/11 20:40:47.658 Jinjinn says: Listen.... I be free o' dat path dey lead me down.... lead me astray I must add....

3/11 20:41:05.470 Jinjinn says: I hope dey not lead you to yer doom either.

3/11 20:41:31.447 Jinjinn says: What our fellowship was ... we were pawns....

3/11 20:41:42.795 Jinjinn says: .. but no longer....

3/11 20:41:54.310 Dayari says: We're supposed to listen to orders though. Discipline is important.

3/11 20:42:22.471 Jinjinn says: Joo make yer own orders now. Trust yer hearts.

3/11 20:42:46.067 Solivar says: What do you mean? By 'pawns,' that is?

3/11 20:43:00.444 Aethris greets everyone with a hearty hello!

3/11 20:43:04.393 Dayari eyes Aethris up and down.

3/11 20:43:19.491 Aethris winks slyly at Dayari.

3/11 20:43:21.042 Jinjinn says: Dems Loa brought Steadfast togetha... but it was fer dere own purpose... dey toyed wit us. ...

3/11 20:43:22.041 Dayari says: No pillows here: I didn't bring any.

3/11 20:43:26.739 Solivar inclines his head in greeting to Aethris.

3/11 20:43:45.336 Jinjinn says: When I needed dem dah most.... dey abandoned me.

3/11 20:43:52.920 Dayari says: If they were in charge, we're supposed to listen.

3/11 20:43:57.265 Aethris nods at you.

3/11 20:44:16.545 Aethris gently pats Perky Pug.

3/11 20:44:34.242 Jinjinn says: Dey not be in charge. We never should have listened.

3/11 20:44:39.841 Solivar says: Listening is one thing, brother, and blind obedience another.

3/11 20:44:44.106 Dayari says: Without order, we're no worse than the savage green-skinned-- wait, no that's from before.

3/11 20:44:44.706 Jinjinn gets a far away look in his eyes.

3/11 20:45:23.031 Aethris says: [Thalassian] Well....this is certainly maudlin thus far....

3/11 20:45:27.313 Dayari says: He did that in Orgrimmar once.

3/11 20:45:38.696 Jinjinn says: Dis has brought back too many memories... too many bad ones....

3/11 20:45:41.878 Aethris clears his throats

3/11 20:45:59.073 Solivar flicks a glance at Aethris.

3/11 20:46:04.606 Dayari says: You could forget them.

3/11 20:46:04.839 Jinjinn says: I must rest... rest from this pain.

3/11 20:46:07.288 Aethris says: Excuse me, I still sometimes find it unnatural to speak the Orc's language.

3/11 20:46:30.866 Jinjinn nods at Aethris.

3/11 20:46:45.247 Solivar says: I suspect there is more at work here than we know.

3/11 20:47:05.159 Jinjinn admires the fire.

3/11 20:47:11.973 Aethris says: Well, I feel completely overdressed.

3/11 20:47:25.355 Aethris says: Excuse for a moment fellows.

[Aethris retrieves a jug of bourbon.]

3/11 20:47:43.984 Jinjinn says: Nah, joo look jus' like what I expect from yer people.

3/11 20:48:12.478 Jinjinn says: Please... enjoy the fire.... it'll keep yah warm.

3/11 20:48:17.927 Solivar says: Brother...if it is not too private a thing...may I ask you a question?

3/11 20:48:23.692 Jinjinn says: In more ways then one if you let it.

3/11 20:48:32.439 Jinjinn says: What is it?

3/11 20:48:54.768 Solivar says: How did these 'loa' communicate with you?

3/11 20:49:15.013 Jinjinn says: I hear dem...

3/11 20:49:19.046 Jinjinn cries on your shoulder.

3/11 20:49:25.498 Jinjinn says: ... even now....

3/11 20:49:31.943 Jinjinn says: dey won't stop.

3/11 20:49:35.776 Jinjinn says: evah

3/11 20:49:49.490 Solivar starts slightly and pats Jinjinn somewhat nervously on the shoulder.

3/11 20:49:49.490 Aethris says: Whoa...a little to warm.

3/11 20:50:10.718 Jinjinn says: Take care.

3/11 20:50:14.550 Dayari waves goodbye to Jinjinn. Farewell!

3/11 20:50:20.249 Aethris waves goodbye to Jinjinn. Farewell!

3/11 20:50:22.566 Jinjinn says: Joo'll be needin' it.

3/11 20:50:52.992 Solivar looks more than a little disturbed by that answer.

3/11 20:51:01.141 Dayari says: That Troll was familiar. I'm sure there are some notes on him somewhere.

3/11 20:51:06.240 Aethris says: Well, this is far to quiet. That means....

3/11 20:51:51.462 Dayari Pulls a piece of cloth from a bag.

3/11 20:51:55.528 Aethris gently pats Worg Pup.

3/11 20:52:02.410 Dayari says: Says I'm supposed to tell the Loa to leave him alone...

3/11 20:52:14.292 Dayari says: That doesn't sound right. I don't think he liked them.

3/11 20:52:23.222 Dayari tosses the paper into the fire.

3/11 20:52:30.287 Solivar says: Wait!

3/11 20:52:43.401 Solivar rescues the bit of parchment and blows it out.

3/11 20:52:45.651 Dayari says: Oh, was I not supposed to do that?

3/11 20:53:12.444 Solivar says: This might be worth remembering, brother.

3/11 20:53:19.393 Dayari says: Hmm. Maybe.

3/11 20:53:36.423 Dayari says: Hard to tell sometimes. I remember I stole a loaf of bread once.

3/11 20:53:43.755 Dayari says: But that doesn't seem worth remembering.

3/11 20:53:56.669 Aethris looks absolutely lost

3/11 20:54:11.218 Solivar says: True. Some things are more worth remembering than others.

3/11 20:54:34.644 Solivar 's eyes flick closed, and his face is very still for a moment.

3/11 20:54:50.640 Dayari says: Remember something too?

3/11 20:55:13.703 Aethris says: [Thalassian] Well, theft is really just a matter of perspective...ash most thingsh tend to be.

3/11 20:55:21.252 Solivar says: I...suspect that anything related to these 'loa,' whatever they are, may be one of those things.

3/11 20:55:45.512 You let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

3/11 20:56:10.857 Aethris says: Always sho shomber at these get togethers?

3/11 20:56:18.356 Solivar says: Yes, I have been remembering a great deal lately. But that is neither here nor there.

3/11 20:56:26.503 Dayari says: What get-togethers?

3/11 20:56:56.764 Aethris says: Um...hmmm...don't mind me....

3/11 20:57:30.057 Solivar tenses suddenly, listening sharply to the watch-call.

3/11 20:57:42.638 Aethris says: I've been in Icrown waaaaaay to long....just thing maybe my brain is frozen....

3/11 20:57:54.419 Dayari says: Angellis tells me I should pay more attention to things. I don't think I'm supposed to ignore people as much.

3/11 20:58:43.774 Solivar says: Angellis has an excellent point.

3/11 20:59:13.934 Dayari says: He ususally does. I remember that.

3/11 20:59:17.816 Aethris lies down.

3/11 20:59:24.631 Dayari looks at Meton.

3/11 20:59:27.614 Solivar says: Dayari...did you do as I asked when last we spoke?

3/11 20:59:36.512 Dayari says: Do what?

3/11 21:00:20.688 Solivar says: Do you remember the book, brother? The one we found in Winterspring?

3/11 21:00:53.053 Dayari says: Oh, the poison. Yes, it didn't fit in a bottle like most poisons. So I put it somewhere else.

3/11 21:00:57.868 Dayari waves at Pantheion.

3/11 21:00:58.144 Pantheion says: greetings to all

3/11 21:01:02.598 Pantheion waves at Dayari.

3/11 21:01:06.229 Aethris says: Hello friend! ...hic!

3/11 21:01:10.423 Dayari says: You're a living one.

3/11 21:01:52.586 Solivar nods to Pantheion.

3/11 21:02:05.577 Solivar says: Greetings, brother.

3/11 21:02:16.225 Aethris mumblesh shomething about sheeing Arthash for the first time

3/11 21:02:42.120 Solivar glances at Dayari and nods slightly.

3/11 21:02:54.399 Kalrion pokes Aethris. Hey!

3/11 21:03:18.594 Aethris says: Hello Kalrion!

3/11 21:03:24.494 Kalrion greets Aethris warmly.

3/11 21:03:29.710 Aethris says: My good friend.... ...hic!

3/11 21:03:49.404 Aethris leansh on Kalrion

3/11 21:03:56.208 Kalrion laughs at Aethris.

3/11 21:04:05.695 Aethris laughs at Kalrion.

3/11 21:04:30.180 Aethris says: Sho how are thingsh my Tauren friend?

3/11 21:04:38.745 Solivar says: I think we should ask our trollish friend about it when next we have the opportunity.

3/11 21:04:53.940 Dayari says: Yes, I'd be curious about the arrows myself.

3/11 21:04:59.256 Kalrion says: Quite well actually.

3/11 21:05:38.650 Aethris says: That'sh good. Sho what bringsh you to Shun Rock Retreat?

3/11 21:05:41.498 Dayari says: Had it coming to them. Eating people...disgusting.

3/11 21:05:53.697 Solivar reaches into his pack and removes a neatly folded piece of parchment.

3/11 21:06:22.841 Kalrion says: The wind old friend, the wind.

3/11 21:06:30.381 Aethris falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.

3/11 21:07:04.366 Solivar says: I spent a good bit of time skipping from place to place after we last spoke, and eventually returned to Zul'Drak, seeking the one I met there...

3/11 21:07:44.788 Dayari says: A troll again?

3/11 21:07:46.290 Solivar says: I found his camp, but not him. This was there, stuck to a thorn tree.

3/11 21:08:48.124 Aethris shtrugglesh with getting his helmet off

3/11 21:09:05.601 Dayari chuckles at Aethris.

3/11 21:09:26.716 Aethris says: Hard to get good ale when Tirion is alwaysh watching you... ...hic!

3/11 21:09:32.502 Solivar opens the page and holds it up. Scribed there is a complicated, interlocking pattern of shapes: spirals twining into one another, almost serpentine. As you watch, the entire mandala begins to slowly rotate widdershins though his hands are rock-steady.

3/11 21:10:17.923 Aethris shways a little getting up

3/11 21:10:18.256 Dayari says: That's strange writing. The kind that moves...it's called something. Magic, maybe?

3/11 21:10:55.581 Aethris says: Thish is my Druid friend! Hish people are the chosen of Cenarius! Did you know that?!

3/11 21:10:58.331 Solivar says: I am beginning to wonder if our troll friend's 'loa' are not trying to find another way to speak to us.

3/11 21:10:59.446 Aethris hugs Kalrion.

3/11 21:11:25.507 Dayari says: Chosen of Cenarious...no I did not.

3/11 21:11:45.436 Dayari says: When someone won't talk to you face to face, they're usually powerful.

3/11 21:11:55.334 Aethris says: Yes, it'sh true. I learned that in Desolace.

3/11 21:12:00.346 Solivar says: Or...if not them...

3/11 21:12:00.583 Kalrion agrees with Dayari.

3/11 21:12:07.582 Aethris burps

3/11 21:12:10.347 Aethris says: Excuse me ...hic!

3/11 21:12:23.994 Aethris says: Oh my...I'm a mess

3/11 21:12:32.492 Aethris laughs.

3/11 21:13:08.617 Dayari says: Lots of voices...lots of thems, maybe.

3/11 21:13:20.708 Solivar nods slightly.

3/11 21:13:57.042 Dayari says: You look different.

3/11 21:14:08.920 Zentao bows deeply to show respect for those fellow members of Steadfast

3/11 21:14:12.935 Zentao bows down graciously.

3/11 21:14:14.435 You blink at Dayari.

3/11 21:14:31.016 Dayari points at Zentao.

3/11 21:14:39.331 Zentao says: Good evening everone, I am very sorry that I'm late

3/11 21:14:44.181 Solivar inclines his head in greeting to Zentao. And then glances down at himself.

3/11 21:15:27.673 Solivar says: No apologies necessary, brother....

3/11 21:15:31.644 Aethris takesh a shwing at the shprite darter ...hic!

3/11 21:15:36.486 Dayari says: DId I drink a lot?

3/11 21:16:12.397 Solivar says: No, you did not. I am trying to be...slightly less conspicuous.

3/11 21:16:18.495 Kalrion watches the group curiously.

3/11 21:16:37.258 Dayari says: Oh. There are more Elves than there were before then?

3/11 21:17:41.779 Solivar says: Not as such. I mean, I am attempting to look less...blindingly white. It is apparently memorable enough to be...somewhat problematic just now.

3/11 21:18:04.901 Aethris says: I defeated it.

3/11 21:18:13.039 Kalrion sighs at Aethris.

3/11 21:18:14.021 Dayari says: Not supposed to be noticed if you're sneaking. That's almost a rule.

3/11 21:18:20.302 Aethris hugs Kalrion.

3/11 21:18:27.117 Aethris says: Please don't judge me.

3/11 21:18:28.265 Kalrion bows before Aethris.

3/11 21:18:41.778 Aethris says: I get enough of that from Tirion.

3/11 21:18:44.230 Meton says: That's a definite rule

3/11 21:18:51.527 Solivar says: Sneaking is not something I generally excel at.

3/11 21:19:03.040 Solivar smiles wryly.

3/11 21:19:12.038 Dayari says: I'm not a judge and I don't think I ever was.

3/11 21:19:12.362 Kalrion says: Perhaps if you did your job properly.

3/11 21:19:18.502 Aethris glaresh into the fire ...hic!

3/11 21:19:41.266 Zentao clears his throat, listening intently, trying to pick up on the conversation in which he arrived in the middle of

3/11 21:19:41.480 Aethris hugs Onyxian Whelpling.

3/11 21:19:49.463 Dayari says: Well, if everyone remembers what you look like, you probably don't do a good job at it.

3/11 21:19:56.045 Kalrion kneels down.

3/11 21:20:34.953 Solivar glances sidelong at Zentao.

3/11 21:20:41.210 Aethris trps

3/11 21:21:12.363 Dayari says: I fell yesterday too. Don't feel bad.

3/11 21:21:23.530 Kalrion shakes his head at Aethris.

3/11 21:21:44.975 Zentao looks at Solivar, but can't help but to notice the apparent drunk elf pacing back and forth, a wry smile percies his lips...

3/11 21:21:51.340 Solivar says: Some of the brotherhood have been having odd experiences recently, Zentao.

3/11 21:21:57.525 Zentao says: Had a little too much I'd say

3/11 21:22:10.153 Zentao ears perk

3/11 21:22:16.412 Zentao says: Really?! Do tell

3/11 21:23:28.419 Solivar says: Dayari and I came to Winterspring independent of one another, but found there a stange book. Its pages change their form, much like this one.

3/11 21:23:38.804 Aethris says: Do guys feel like mayby Garrosh shhouldn't be representing ush at the Argent Tournament? I mean, he ish one mean warrior, but.....not much for etiquette

3/11 21:24:02.260 Meton says: Maybe you should represent us Aethris.

3/11 21:24:08.493 Zentao looks on intently

3/11 21:24:18.657 Kalrion says: Not in the state he is in.

3/11 21:24:26.688 Zentao chuckles

3/11 21:24:39.487 Aethris says: No, I don't think sho. I respect Thrall, but I fear he may shtep down shoon ash ish the way of hish people..

3/11 21:24:40.753 Dayari says: That's right, it wasn't poison. It was a book.

3/11 21:25:04.816 Solivar says: And now our brother Jinjinn was just telling us that he feels that the 'loa' who guided him were leading him astray....using the Steadfast botherhood as pawns, though he did not say how.

3/11 21:25:48.888 Kalrion eyes his old friend from the the corner of his eye warily.

3/11 21:25:59.769 Meton looks at Onyxian Whelpling.

3/11 21:26:04.736 Zentao ponders what he has heard thus far...

3/11 21:26:09.386 Dayari looks vaguely to his right

3/11 21:26:15.216 Dayari says: We were supposed to go North.

3/11 21:26:16.049 Meton says: Did you just breath smoke at me you little whelp?

3/11 21:26:28.995 Solivar says: As Aethris suggests, in his own way, things have begun to change in other ways, as well.

3/11 21:26:29.628 Kalrion says: You okay, Aethris?

3/11 21:26:42.509 Zentao says: And you think this action is somehow entwined with the tome you menttion?

3/11 21:27:07.983 Solivar nods slightly, first to Dayari and then to Zentao.

3/11 21:27:40.198 Solivar says: I think it unlikely to be coincidental that the two things should happen so closely together.

3/11 21:27:54.011 Kalrion nudges his odd drunken comrade.

3/11 21:28:09.924 Zentao nods at you.

3/11 21:28:35.986 Aethris greets Kalrion with a hearty hello!

3/11 21:28:39.203 Solivar says: I...do not hear the 'loa' as Jinjinn does, or speak with the spirits of the wild as the druids may...but I have heard the voices of the dead for many years now.

3/11 21:28:49.582 Kalrion bows before Aethris.

3/11 21:28:49.982 Aethris says: Where did you come from, Kalrion?!

3/11 21:28:58.848 Zentao says: Indeed... I think caution should become a part of our normal activity as we progress further into this issue

3/11 21:29:10.511 Kalrion says: I have been standing here for a while.

3/11 21:29:22.343 Aethris says: Kalrion, I'm drunk.

3/11 21:29:22.394 Solivar says: And I can say, with some certainty, that they are as unsettled as the living.

3/11 21:29:29.763 Kalrion laughs at Aethris.

3/11 21:29:37.038 Aethris laughs.

3/11 21:29:44.303 Aethris burps

3/11 21:29:53.635 Kalrion says: I've never known you not to be Aethris.

3/11 21:29:54.353 Dayari says: I hear the dead in Undercity all the time. They seem the same.

3/11 21:30:17.413 Aethris says: I know. It'sh because of Tirion. Just shaying his name stressesh my $%^. ...hic!

3/11 21:30:55.089 Kalrion says: A state I cannot completely understand.

3/11 21:31:25.585 Zentao says: Quite interesting, but I'm not sure how the tome plays a part,, is it secured? Are we having our arcame specilists looking at it?

3/11 21:31:39.613 Kalrion says: Are you not cold walking about without a tunic and boots?

3/11 21:31:54.492 Solivar says: It is, I believe.

3/11 21:32:05.090 Dayari says: No one's looking at it though. I put it somewhere with no eyes.

3/11 21:32:12.638 Kalrion laughs at Aethris.

3/11 21:32:57.914 Solivar says: And that is part of the reason why I wish for Jinjinn to examine it. The writing on
the first pages resembled the carvings one might find on trollish ruins.

3/11 21:33:00.312 Zentao nods solemly

3/11 21:33:10.525 Solivar says: Except...moving.

3/11 21:33:17.959 Aethris says: Do you remember that time we shpent three daysh in Shadowprey Village with the four gypsy pirates?

3/11 21:33:52.616 Aethris pointsh at Kalrion'sh tabard

3/11 21:33:56.133 Kalrion says: How could I forget? We nearly met our end out there.

3/11 21:34:02.516 Solivar says: I neither speak nor read any of the trollish tongues -- I do not even know for certain that they possess written language.

3/11 21:34:06.746 Aethris says: Kalrion! You're explored the world!

3/11 21:34:15.678 Dayari says: Do they?

3/11 21:34:41.108 Kalrion says: Indeed I have. My tabard is an accolade I treasure greatly and wear proudly.

3/11 21:34:41.323 Aethris says: Kalrion, can you turn into a tree?

3/11 21:35:01.050 Kalrion says: I am not that kind of druid.

3/11 21:35:06.650 Aethris says: Okay.

3/11 21:35:12.051 Solivar says: That is one of the things I would like to learn. The Drakkari are not particularly forthcoming on the topic. Even when they are dead.

3/11 21:35:18.514 Kalrion says: Perhaps a bear for your amusement?

3/11 21:35:30.645 Kalrion says: Or a cat?

3/11 21:35:32.598 Dayari looks at Kalrion.

3/11 21:35:45.691 Kalrion says: How about a dancing cat?

3/11 21:35:48.042 Dayari says: Druids are very hard to recognize. They change so much.

3/11 21:35:50.657 Kalrion bursts into dance.

3/11 21:36:05.487 You blink at Kalrion.

3/11 21:36:22.167 Solivar says: ....That they are.

3/11 21:37:23.386 Pantheion waves at Aethris.

3/11 21:37:27.170 Aethris stares at Pantheion

3/11 21:37:41.293 Pantheion says: yes sir?

3/11 21:37:41.953 Aethris says: Pantheion, I found your shon.

3/11 21:37:46.081 Pantheion says:

3/11 21:38:01.962 Solivar says: In any case...I suspect tthat much is transpiring and we are all only seeing parts of it.

3/11 21:38:30.740 Pantheion says: woah! twins?

3/11 21:38:32.456 Aethris says: What?! Pantheion, where do you find the time?!

3/11 21:38:33.893 Zentao says: Even if their written language is not as complex as ours, they must posses some form of written means of communication for their level of advancement, even if hieroglyphical in nature... so I am certian there would be some benefit to our Troll brother...

3/11 21:38:38.405 Zentao says: examining the tome

3/11 21:38:49.734 Dayari says: Probably, but he was angry.

3/11 21:38:58.627 Pantheion says: wow! trips?

3/11 21:39:02.765 Pantheion says: im a busy man

3/11 21:39:10.849 Aethris says: Pantheion, are trying to start your own army?

3/11 21:39:17.066 Kalrion says: Apparently Pantheion has sired more than he knows.

3/11 21:39:19.330 Pantheion says: to over throw thrall

3/11 21:39:24.608 Pantheion says: shh dont tell anyone

3/11 21:39:29.428 Aethris laughs.

3/11 21:39:56.057 Dayari says: Orcs breed like something...there was a word we used to use.

3/11 21:40:00.888 Kalrion says: I fear if you make anymore it will grow far too obvious.

3/11 21:40:03.053 Pantheion says: rabits?

3/11 21:40:24.516 Zentao says: or rabid?

3/11 21:40:26.531 Zentao laughs at you.

3/11 21:40:35.164 Dayari says: Rabbits, yes it was like rabbits.

3/11 21:41:02.474 Aethris says: Oh great, I'm sober again. My life is so much better....

3/11 21:41:12.971 Pantheion says: anymore bourbon?

3/11 21:41:14.614 Solivar almost visibly resists the urge to tousel any adorable orc heads.

3/11 21:41:22.519 Pantheion says: or should i go find some?

3/11 21:41:44.015 Aethris says: No, I definately cleared out my stock.

3/11 21:42:19.623 Dayari says: Strange place with baby Orcs wandering around.

3/11 21:42:31.589 Kalrion says: You never were one for conservation when it comes to a good drink Aethris.

3/11 21:42:54.997 Solivar says: I sometimes wonder about the Argent Crusade's child labor practices. But I digress.

3/11 21:42:56.319 Kalrion says: Jokes over kid, run along now.

3/11 21:43:09.447 Aethris says: I bought the Libram of Three Truths today.

3/11 21:43:26.677 Aethris says: You want to know what it says?

3/11 21:43:29.592 Solivar says: I am almost afraid to ask.

3/11 21:43:46.754 Aethris says: One: Love Life. Two: Get Paid. Three: Get Laid.

3/11 21:43:58.235 You look at Zentao and cover your face with your palm.

3/11 21:44:34.527 Dayari says: Strange truths. I'm not sure I know those.

3/11 21:44:38.594 Aethris says: Yep, that's right. Those are the three truths. Aparantly Pantheion can tell you all you'd want to know about number three.

3/11 21:45:02.422 Solivar smooths down his twitching left eyebrow.

3/11 21:45:18.602 Dayari says: Orcs breed like something...there was a word we used to use.

3/11 21:45:24.434 Solivar says: ...I will leave that to those more adventurous than myself. No offense intended, brother.

3/11 21:46:18.955 Solivar says: ...Rabbits. I do not think that needs to be written down.

3/11 21:46:37.768 Dayari says: Oh, maybe I should.

3/11 21:46:48.531 Pantheion says: i need more beer

3/11 21:46:55.496 Pantheion says: or bourbon

3/11 21:46:58.670 Dayari says: So there was this book I wasn't supposed to write in. We're supposed to find a Troll to read it now?

3/11 21:47:10.011 Solivar sighs and hands Dayari the slightly singed bit of parchment back.

3/11 21:47:18.311 Pantheion raises his hand?

3/11 21:47:27.273 Solivar says: Yes, brother?

3/11 21:47:48.152 Pantheion says: dayari said he needed a troll to read him a book

3/11 21:48:07.681 Pantheion says: wait im an orc

3/11 21:48:41.141 Zentao looks Pantheion over...

3/11 21:48:51.138 Dayari says: Yes, you are.

3/11 21:49:03.319 Zentao says: Yeah, I'd say you were one... the features are quite convincing, haha

3/11 21:49:10.020 Aethris says: Well friends, Argent Tournament calls.

3/11 21:49:12.869 Aethris waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!

3/11 21:49:22.530 Zentao waves at Aethris.

3/11 21:49:26.348 Zentao waves goodbye to Aethris. Farewell!

3/11 21:49:28.315 Solivar says: Farewell, brother. Go safely.

3/11 21:49:38.045 Pantheion says: Farwell brother Aethris

3/11 21:49:38.277 Dayari waves at Aethris.

3/11 21:51:01.042 Dayari shrugs. Who knows?

3/11 21:51:17.325 Solivar says: You are correct, Zentao, that the trolls *should* have some form of written language. And I hope that our brother Jinjinn will help us to puzzle it out, if it is in his power.

3/11 21:51:33.039 Dayari says: He was angry.

3/11 21:51:44.534 Solivar looks to Dayari.

3/11 21:51:49.052 Pantheion says: he has every right to be

3/11 21:51:56.442 Zentao says: Aye... but there are ways around that...

3/11 21:52:00.198 Zentao grins slightly

3/11 21:52:30.625 Solivar says: And in pain. Dayari, you said you had...notes on him? Do you recall what they were, or where you wrote them down?

3/11 21:53:16.915 Dayari says: He had something shadowy with him, I remember that. It was like my shadow, but different.

3/11 21:53:26.313 Zentao says: Although I have only use this power on my enemy, I am able to call upon the light to create a veil of peacfulness to one mind. But, alas, I have never tried to use it on a friend.

3/11 21:53:42.776 Kalrion says: It was nice meeting you fine folks. Have a good evening.

3/11 21:53:51.506 Pantheion waves at Kalrion.

3/11 21:53:52.289 Zentao says: be well Kalrion

3/11 21:53:56.422 Zentao waves at Kalrion.

3/11 21:54:02.187 Solivar says: Farewell, Kalrion.

3/11 21:54:57.809 Solivar considers Zentao's words, his eyes momentarily far away.

3/11 21:55:07.456 Dayari says: I don't think the Light has much to do with Trolls.

3/11 21:55:20.319 Solivar says: 'A veil of peacefulness'?

3/11 21:55:39.431 Solivar says: And Dayari...a shadow?

3/11 21:56:13.458 Dayari says: Yes, he had a Shadow. It laughed.

3/11 21:56:33.420 Dayari says: I'm used to paying attention to shadows. There's a lot in a Shadow.

3/11 21:56:38.852 Pantheion says: did it weigh 42 pounds?

3/11 21:57:09.065 Zentao says: Yes Solivar... I can soothe the mind of my enemies, and have done so on numerous occasion, but as i said, I do not know what effect if may have on a friend, as generally the enemy dies shortly after from some other affliction

3/11 21:57:12.144 Dayari says: I don't know.

3/11 21:57:19.976 Zentao grins

3/11 21:57:29.458 Pantheion says: you did not have a scale with you

3/11 21:57:34.856 Solivar says: Did you perceive what was in this shadow?

3/11 21:57:36.006 Pantheion flexes his muscles. Oooooh so strong!

3/11 21:58:00.885 Pantheion says: shadows have to weigh something? no?

3/11 21:58:04.634 You nod at Zentao.

3/11 21:58:10.082 Dayari says: Shadow was in the shadow.

3/11 21:58:17.047 Dayari says: But it made Jinjinn different.

3/11 21:58:28.828 Dayari says: I could hear him better. But he said things differently.

3/11 21:59:15.100 Solivar says: Differently? How so?

3/11 21:59:34.007 Pantheion thanks Meton.

3/11 21:59:43.979 Dayari says: HIs ideas were in the shadows. And he would forget too.

3/11 22:00:42.837 Pantheion says: i need to step outside for a moment

3/11 22:00:49.481 Solivar says: Brother...are you saying that Jinjinn's mind was not his own?

3/11 22:01:10.809 Dayari says: No. I don't think so, it was still inside.

3/11 22:02:16.312 Solivar looks more than slightly disturbed by this.

3/11 22:03:05.817 Solivar says: Was the shadow still with him today?

3/11 22:03:31.729 Dayari says: No, I don't think so. He looked different and he was angry. The Shadow was never angry.

3/11 22:04:44.847 Solivar says: The more I hear of this, the more I learn, the less I like it.

3/11 22:05:10.726 Dayari says: Jinjinn was a friend. But he went away.

3/11 22:06:02.462 Solivar says: Do you know why he went away? Was it because of this shadow? Or the 'loa'?

3/11 22:06:33.014 Dayari says: He had a friend he followed.

3/11 22:06:41.230 Zentao says: And this shadow... did it acknowledge your presence?

3/11 22:07:26.958 Dayari says: No, it was just there.

3/11 22:07:42.854 Zentao nods slolwy

3/11 22:08:58.440 Solivar says: I would be lying if I did not confess myself deeply concerned -- for the safety of our brotherhood, and many others beside.

3/11 22:09:39.396 Dayari says: Oh?

3/11 22:10:20.441 Solivar says: Dayari...I know I asked you to conceal the book, but if you could bring it to me when you can, I would appreciate that greatly.

3/11 22:10:56.166 Dayari says: I will find it. I wrote down where I put it.

3/11 22:11:09.995 Zentao , not one to take chance reaches into his small pack and withdrawls a candle, light it from the fire in the center of the circle and places it before him

3/11 22:11:26.657 Solivar says: I...feel...that there are great forces at work. Events have been set in motion that none of us can predict or control...

3/11 22:11:55.386 Zentao looks deeply at each member of the circle and begins to mumble incoherently

[Zentao casts a warding spell against Shadows on the gathered brethren of Steadfast.]

3/11 22:12:02.282 Pantheion says: we must fight to control what we can

3/11 22:12:03.298 Dayari eyes Zentao up and down.

3/11 22:12:06.137 Pantheion says: the Forge of Souls is calling my name i shall be back

3/11 22:12:43.707 Zentao says: I do not know if this is of any use, but any mitigation is worth the effort

3/11 22:12:44.039 Solivar says: ...But which we will all feel the bite of nonetheless.

3/11 22:13:05.035 Solivar says: I thank you, brother. It is, indeed, worth the effort.

3/11 22:13:43.143 Dayari says: The Shadow. They say something about it.

3/11 22:13:59.789 Solivar says: What do they say?

3/11 22:14:24.250 Dayari says: It's different than the Light, which turned its back to us.

3/11 22:15:12.042 Dayari says: We must seek out to put our will upon the world.

3/11 22:15:40.668 Dayari says: Seek power, endure, and show respect. The Dark Lady mostly with the last one.

3/11 22:15:46.767 Dayari says: Always the Dark Lady.

3/11 22:16:00.812 Solivar 's mouth flattens into a thin, tight line.

3/11 22:16:14.526 Dayari says: Well, not for everyone.

3/11 22:16:56.385 Dayari says: But, respect is important. We should listen to those more powerful.

3/11 22:17:41.591 Solivar says: I do not know if the Light abandoned us...or if we failed the Light in some way.

3/11 22:17:59.703 Meton says: It's called being a Death Knight

3/11 22:18:06.035 Meton says: We and the light do not mix

3/11 22:18:10.884 Dayari says: The Light couldn't stop the plague...

3/11 22:18:38.013 Zentao interjects

3/11 22:19:23.688 Solivar says: I...do not remember how I fell, or how I died. I...know...that before this, I swore by my blood and my honor to serve it. And though, by my own actions, I have defiled that vow...I still feel it binding upon me.

3/11 22:19:30.086 Zentao says: It is the wielders of the light who choose how to use it... the light itself does not 'do' or 'do not' it is we who have the ability to wield it that make the choice

3/11 22:20:10.809 Meton says: So by that logic anyone could wield the light?

3/11 22:20:16.941 Dayari clearly states, NO.

3/11 22:20:37.421 Solivar says: Respect is important, yes. But there are more important things than yielding to those with greater power.

3/11 22:20:53.052 Zentao says: Nay, that is not what i said my brother... 'those of us who have the ability to weild it...' not all have that power

3/11 22:21:08.114 Solivar says: If there were not...you would be facing me across the battlefield in Icecrown right now.

3/11 22:22:29.179 Zentao looks at Solivar and is thankful that is not the case, nods to his brother respectfuly

3/11 22:22:57.507 Solivar says: You are my brothers now, and I would kill or die for you. And if you -- if we -- at some peril from dangers we cannot see....

3/11 22:22:58.539 Zentao nods also to Meton with similar gartitude

3/11 22:23:15.801 Meton says: Solivar, what were you before you changed?

3/11 22:23:30.049 Solivar says: I think we must bring the to light and deal with them accordingly.

3/11 22:23:50.028 Dayari says: Perhaps we should go looking for the source?

3/11 22:24:03.575 Meton says: Source of the Light?

3/11 22:24:14.606 Solivar looks at a point somewhere beyond Meton's shoulder, unable to meet his eyes.

3/11 22:24:31.987 Dayari says: No.

3/11 22:24:39.633 Dayari says: Something else. Something bad.

3/11 22:24:48.648 Meton says: Source of that Shadow?

3/11 22:24:53.979 Dayari says: What Shadow?

3/11 22:25:03.295 Solivar says: I was a paladin -- a brother of the healer's order within the Silver Hand.

3/11 22:25:53.386 Zentao says: I belive our brother speaks of the shadow surrounding Jinjinn

3/11 22:26:08.731 Dayari says: It's not there anymore.

3/11 22:26:20.812 Zentao says: But....

3/11 22:26:28.348 Zentao ponders slightly...

3/11 22:26:35.159 Zentao says: ... it... is somewhere

3/11 22:26:45.435 Dayari says: It used to come and go. Must have went.

3/11 22:27:08.052 Solivar takes a steadying breath and nods at Dayari.

3/11 22:27:19.734 Pantheion says: I heared him speaking today to the guild and it seems as though he is happy

3/11 22:28:03.274 Solivar says: Perhaps we should, as you suggest, find where 'went' truly is.

3/11 22:28:47.082 Dayari says: Could ask?

3/11 22:29:24.938 Solivar says: Do you think Jinjinn would know?

3/11 22:29:36.979 Dayari says: He remembers things.

3/11 22:30:06.928 Solivar says: ...Point.

3/11 22:30:59.018 Dayari says: There was a reason for him to remember things too.

3/11 22:32:03.487 Solivar says: Do you know what that reason was?

3/11 22:32:15.249 Zentao listens intently

3/11 22:32:17.174 Dayari says: Yes, yes I do.

3/11 22:32:38.480 Dayari says: It had something to do with Steadfast.

3/11 22:33:02.313 Dayari says: He was suppose to remember things for us.

3/11 22:33:06.456 Dayari says: So we didn't forget.

3/11 22:33:12.520 Pantheion says: in his paths today he had mentioned that

3/11 22:34:17.439 Dayari says: Many paths.

3/11 22:34:24.804 Dayari says: Or was it Manypaths?

3/11 22:34:49.281 Solivar nods slightly.

3/11 22:34:49.931 Pantheion says: many paths

3/11 22:35:06.611 Dayari says: No, that doesn't sound right.

3/11 22:35:09.794 Dayari says: It was one word.

3/11 22:35:34.939 Solivar says: He was...a chronicler? A lorekeeper?

3/11 22:36:13.762 Dayari says: Who were we talking about? Which one was the lorekeeper?

3/11 22:36:30.491 Solivar says: Jinjinn.

3/11 22:36:41.088 Dayari says: Oh, was he?

3/11 22:37:22.414 You look at Dayari and cover your face with your palm.

3/11 22:38:13.052 Solivar says: ....You were telling us that Jinjinn was the one charged to remember things for the brotherhood.

3/11 22:38:32.329 Dayari says: Oh, yes he was.

3/11 22:38:32.330 Pantheion says: brothers i bid farewell

3/11 22:38:37.829 Dayari waves goodbye to Pantheion. Farewell!

3/11 22:38:41.611 Pantheion says: i am off to adventure

3/11 22:38:50.462 Solivar says: Farewell, Pantheion. Go carefully.

3/11 22:38:50.692 Zentao salutes Pantheion with respect.

3/11 22:38:58.191 Zentao says: be well Pantheion

3/11 22:39:00.325 Dayari says: If you see any Shadows, steer clear. I don't think that they're good for Orcs.

3/11 22:39:00.540 Pantheion salutes Zentao with respect.

3/11 22:39:17.071 Pantheion says: i will be sure to weigh and mesure them

3/11 22:39:23.619 Pantheion says: before i cut them down to size

3/11 22:39:53.296 Zentao chuckles at Pantheion.

3/11 22:39:56.612 Pantheion laughs.

3/11 22:40:05.495 Dayari says: I don't think they weigh much....

3/11 22:40:12.309 Pantheion says: good evening brothers

3/11 22:40:20.257 Zentao waves goodbye to Pantheion. Farewell!

3/11 22:40:52.704 Dayari says: We were talking about Orcs, right?

3/11 22:41:01.362 Solivar says: .....

3/11 22:41:12.860 Dayari says: Trolls?

3/11 22:42:15.651 Solivar says: Jinjinn. Whose charge it was...to keep the memories of the brotherhood. Who now feels himself betrayed and manipulated by the forces that once guided him.

3/11 22:42:40.164 Dayari says: Yes. He was different today.

3/11 22:42:58.506 Dayari says: Still a Troll though.

3/11 22:43:32.447 Zentao tries to hide the slight chuckle, but it escapes slightly

3/11 22:43:37.314 Solivar says: I do not like this very much at all. I think, perhaps, we should all ward one another, to the best of our ability.

3/11 22:44:13.671 Zentao agrees with you.

3/11 22:44:34.135 Dayari says: A good wall is your best defense. Put a tower at the top and you can have archers.

3/11 22:45:16.325 Zentao reaches into his pouch and begis to withdrawl various reagents

3/11 22:46:03.332 Solivar contemplates that for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitching back slightly.

3/11 22:46:28.160 Zentao lights the candles from the freshly stoked fire

3/11 22:47:11.384 Solivar says: Enfilading towers...plunging fire. I wonder if there is a spiritual equivalent of such things.

3/11 22:48:16.053 Solivar says: I do not pretend to possess any deep knowledge of those arts.

3/11 22:48:51.179 Solivar says: In the forms I am most...skilled in now...

3/11 22:49:00.828 Zentao says: Indeed there is... but these items you see before you allow me to augment the spiritual with the natural, thus increasing the potency

3/11 22:49:04.560 Dayari says: Not sure about it either.

3/11 22:49:55.882 Solivar glances down at his hands, the arcane embroidery, the wards of binding and containment, etched into his gloves glittering in the firelight.

3/11 22:50:17.144 Zentao says: Even with the knowledge I have now, there is is still so much i do not yet understand

3/11 22:50:54.685 Dayari says: Sometimes being curious is painful. Best to not worry.

3/11 22:51:42.578 Solivar says: There are principles by which the souls of the dead may be bound, compelled to serve whether they will it or not. But not much in the way of...defense, per se.

3/11 22:52:08.203 Dayari says: No. No there wasn't.

3/11 22:52:32.049 Darrzinn says: greetings Friends

3/11 22:52:36.847 Zentao bows before Darrzinn.

3/11 22:52:45.923 Zentao says: good evening Darrzinn

3/11 22:52:49.395 Darrzinn says: it has been a long time since I was here...

3/11 22:52:59.059 Dayari says: Another Not-Scourge.

3/11 22:53:12.057 Solivar bows from the neck to Darrzinn.

3/11 22:53:22.840 Darrzinn says: well I am undead, is that close enough

3/11 22:53:25.487 Solivar says: Greetings, brother.

3/11 22:53:27.669 Darrzinn lets out a hearty chuckle.

3/11 22:53:39.549 Darrzinn says: Greetings

3/11 22:53:45.965 Dayari says: No. Not all undead are Not-Scourge. Some are Scourge.

3/11 22:54:21.159 Darrzinn says: Well you will always be able to count as a friend, and that I would think is most important

[About here, Zentao realized he was the only living member of Steadfast present around the fire.]

3/11 22:54:25.409 Zentao is beginning to feel painfully out of place... his blood runs warm, not a comon theme all of a sudden

3/11 22:54:56.917 Solivar smiles wryly at Zentao.

3/11 22:55:10.631 Dayari says: I'm supposed to make friends.

3/11 22:55:27.894 Darrzinn says: Well it can come in handy at times

3/11 22:55:45.890 Dayari says: Friends end up behind you sometimes.

3/11 22:55:46.423 Solivar says: Fear not, we only bite when there are no other weapons handy.

3/11 22:55:53.806 Darrzinn says: but now it is a bit harder for me to, the living has no love for my kind

3/11 22:56:24.800 Zentao senses the badge of Steadfast means more than the temperature of blood or the color of eyes. Although the badge is new to him, he feels at home in this company

3/11 22:56:59.108 Zentao says: Not all living...

3/11 22:57:21.168 Darrzinn says: thankfully not, my friend

3/11 22:57:28.366 Darrzinn smiles at Zentao.

3/11 22:57:30.232 Zentao places a friendly hand upon Darrzinn's shoulder

3/11 22:57:36.916 Dayari says: Air-gulpers are different though.

3/11 22:58:11.925 Zentao smiles whilst looking for Dayari's gills

3/11 22:58:29.520 Darrzinn chuckles at Dayari.

3/11 22:58:42.503 Dayari says: No, it's different for the living. They busy themselves with things the Not-Scourge don't.

3/11 22:59:00.348 Darrzinn says: this is true...

3/11 22:59:07.246 Zentao says: Aye, like sleeping...

3/11 22:59:22.781 Zentao says: Which, i am sorry my brothers, but slumber calls me

3/11 22:59:28.042 Darrzinn says: there are better things to do then sleeping....

3/11 22:59:34.873 Darrzinn winks slyly at Zentao.

3/11 22:59:51.122 Dayari says: Waste of time, usually. I tried to sleep a few times. Ceilings have lots of dots.

3/11 22:59:58.339 Zentao says: so, if it would not be too rude of me to excuse myself... ?

3/11 23:00:08.950 Dayari says: Manners, another living thing.

3/11 23:00:09.950 Solivar says: Rest, brother. You will not lack for guardians this night, I think.

3/11 23:00:22.947 Zentao thanks you.

3/11 23:00:23.281 Dayari says: I should write them all down.

3/11 23:00:33.593 Darrzinn says: rest is a need, so go enjoy

3/11 23:00:38.693 Zentao says: Indeed, I think not...

3/11 23:00:49.591 Zentao says: Until we meet again my friends...

3/11 23:00:53.906 Dayari waves goodbye to Zentao. Farewell!

3/11 23:00:55.258 Darrzinn says: farewell

3/11 23:01:15.952 Dayari thanks Zentao.

3/11 23:01:22.317 Darrzinn thanks Zentao.

3/11 23:01:22.551 Solivar says: Farewell, brother. Go safely.

3/11 23:01:31.464 Zentao waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!

3/11 23:01:40.731 Zentao kneels down.

[Zentao departs in a glittering cloud of violet-black shadow.]

3/11 23:01:57.125 Darrzinn pokes a stick in the fire

3/11 23:02:33.568 Dayari says: That looks familiar

3/11 23:02:37.448 Dayari points at Zentao.

3/11 23:02:48.565 Dayari says: He had a Shadow with him too.

3/11 23:03:17.680 Darrzinn says: you never know when you may need one

3/11 23:03:20.839 Darrzinn smiles.

3/11 23:04:20.810 Dayari yawns sleepily.

3/11 23:04:27.742 Dayari says: No. Nothing.

3/11 23:05:06.568 Solivar glances at Dayari, lifting his gaze from the fire for the first time in several minutes.

3/11 23:05:16.798 Solivar says: ...Nothing?

3/11 23:05:30.695 Darrzinn gently pats Gryphon Hatchling.

3/11 23:05:37.845 Dayari says: The yawn didn't do anything.

3/11 23:05:53.858 Darrzinn says: it's the thought that count

3/11 23:05:57.606 Darrzinn laughs.

3/11 23:06:19.219 Solivar opens his mouth, closes it again, and smiles helplessly at that.

3/11 23:07:07.091 Darrzinn says: I think the thing I miss the most is being warm.....

3/11 23:07:41.700 Dayari says: Too much warm was bad, I think. I remember sweat.

3/11 23:08:20.675 Darrzinn says: yes it was

3/11 23:08:28.491 Solivar says: ...Sweat was not so terrible a thing in comparison.

3/11 23:08:42.404 Darrzinn says: true, it did mean one was alive

3/11 23:09:16.364 Dayari says: Lots of things do that though. Most of them useless now.

3/11 23:09:56.906 Darrzinn nods.

3/11 23:10:38.013 Solivar says: Or tears. I -- Yes. It would be...pleasant...to feel warm again.

3/11 23:11:06.356 Dayari says: You don't like being dead?

3/11 23:11:46.648 Solivar says: ....No.

3/11 23:12:09.346 Dayari says: One of them is supposed to be a curse. I can't remember which right now.

3/11 23:13:33.444 Solivar says: There was a time...a very long time...when it did not matter. When I did not *care* what I was, or what I had become, because it allowed me to serve my lord, my King, and the brothers and sisters beside whom I fought.

3/11 23:13:53.854 Dayari says: That sounds better.

3/11 23:14:26.365 Darrzinn says: and those times seem like a bad dream now...the kind you never forget

3/11 23:14:49.813 Dayari says: I wouldn't know.

3/11 23:15:10.622 Solivar says: ...It would be a lie to say that nothing in me wishes I still did not care. It would be so simple to even stop trying.

3/11 23:15:12.070 Darrzinn says: I am glad you do not, friend

3/11 23:16:33.172 Solivar says: But, if I did, I would not be worthy of you, or of this brotherhood. I have...failed...too many who placed their trust in me already.

3/11 23:17:19.994 Dayari says: Hmm...failure is bad. Mistakes cost people. If you're still walking, they couldn't have been that bad.

3/11 23:18:42.409 Solivar says: Being the one to survive your mistakes is its own punishment, brother.

3/11 23:18:49.576 Dayari says: Oh.

3/11 23:19:53.943 Solivar says: It is also an opportunity to make matters right.

3/11 23:20:10.688 Dayari says: Yes, it is. Do you have a list?

3/11 23:20:55.565 Solivar says: I keep it in my other armor.

3/11 23:21:11.792 Dayari says: Ahh. Good place to keep notes. I do that too.

3/11 23:21:22.823 Dayari says: Not in these though.

3/11 23:22:31.408 Solivar smiles slightly.

3/11 23:22:58.636 Dayari says: It got dark out.

3/11 23:23:08.634 Darrzinn says: that happens sometimes

3/11 23:23:11.732 Darrzinn laughs.

3/11 23:23:19.349 Meton says: Hmm. Yeah. Been almost 3 hours

3/11 23:23:21.397 Dayari says: Yes.

3/11 23:23:30.946 Dayari says: I have some things to do. I wrote them down somewhere.

3/11 23:23:41.809 Solivar says: We have been speaking a long time. Monopolizing this poor orc's fire.

3/11 23:24:11.153 Dayari says: Yes. Well, he can sit if he wants.

3/11 23:24:19.768 Solivar rises and bows deeply to Dayari.

3/11 23:24:59.142 Dayari says: Quiet place, by the way.

3/11 23:25:17.125 Solivar says: If you must go, brother, I do understand. We can discuss the book later, if you wish.

3/11 23:25:17.739 Darrzinn says: yes it is a nice change

3/11 23:25:22.988 Meton says: I must be going as well.

3/11 23:25:23.221 Dayari says: What book?

3/11 23:25:39.600 Dayari says: Oh wait. Nevermind.

3/11 23:25:41.650 Dayari says: That book.

3/11 23:25:44.566 Solivar says: Yes.

3/11 23:25:46.266 Dayari says: I'll find it again.

3/11 23:25:52.748 Meton says: I have duties to attend to, goodbye until next time.

3/11 23:25:59.729 Darrzinn says: Farewell

3/11 23:26:07.477 Solivar says: I thank you. Farewell, brothers.

3/11 23:26:12.742 Darrzinn says: take care

3/11 23:26:17.209 Darrzinn waves goodbye to you. Farewell!

3/11 23:26:22.407 Solivar says: ...Not a man of many words, that one.

3/11 23:26:25.901 Darrzinn waves goodbye to Dayari. Farewell!

3/11 23:26:30.738 You bow before Darrzinn.

3/11 23:26:36.421 Dayari says: YEs.

3/11 23:26:37.604 Darrzinn says: I tend to say too much

3/11 23:26:42.652 Darrzinn says: get myself in trouble

3/11 23:26:47.818 Darrzinn lets out a hearty chuckle.

3/11 23:26:54.268 Dayari says: Careful, people do things with what you say.

3/11 23:26:58.783 Dayari waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!

3/11 23:27:13.430 Solivar says: You are not alone in that, brother. Farewell. Go carefully.
