[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
The northern corner of the court is relatively quiet, the low hum of conversation punctuated only by the occasional bursts of laughter emanating from the nearby dais.

You also see the Slovigg disk, a skittery shadowy black scarab, a stubby-legged glossy red beetle, a long-horned light vermilion scarab, a stubby-legged shadowy black beetle, a stubby-legged shadowy black scarab, a tiny deep crimson beetle, a tiny dark-spiked beetle, a spotted shadowy black scarab, a floating dais and a wooden barrel.
Also here: Slovigg, the body of Veiss who is lying down, the body of Akaishae who is lying down

[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
The northern corner of the court is relatively quiet, the low hum of conversation punctuated only by the occasional bursts of laughter emanating from the nearby dais. A row of monir trees delineates the curvature of the cobblestoned lane, their leafy boughs creating a peaceful resting spot. You also see a tiny deep crimson beetle that appears dead, a floating dais and a wooden barrel.
Also here: the body of Reng who is lying down, the body of Slovigg who is lying down, the body of Veiss who is lying down, the body of Akaishae who is lying down

Then they started popping up on the dais itself and killing a bunch of folks there. And in all my brilliance... "cman move dais"? Yeah, good one, I know. Grr.
