Long Log-possibly to do with update to Troll's Blood

[Rangerpuff]

During the Invasion three nights ago in Illstim, seven healers were poofed away, and kidnapped. My Sylph was one of them. I didn't catch the actually poofing part, or where she was bound by the Evil Ustus..however, here is what transpired.

Starlaz quickly says, "I hunt undead and i am erithi."

>sYou see Necromancer Ustus.
He appears to be an Erithian of the Surath Dai.
He appears to be in the meridian of life and tall. He has deep-set clear colored eyes and translucent pale skin. He has long, flowing platinum hair worn in a fringe around a hairless crown. He has a gaunt face, a thin nose and sunken cheeks.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a pair of braided rush sandals, a double-folded raw silk pack, an angular painted silk robe, and a glass amulet.

Ustus says, "What's your point? I still need your body."

Starlaz quickly asks, "Why capture a fellow erithi?"
>Speaking softly to Ustus, you ask, "Why would you need all of our bodies?"

Morgannia says, "But we are rather attached to our bodies."
>
Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny says, "You're not a fellow erithi to him! You're a traitor. You're an elf-servant."
>
Kiligen knowingly asks, "Where the heck are wel?"

>The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.

Weewillow softly asks, "Are we to become undead?"

>Chaliell says, "I kind of like mine. i've always thought it's cute."

>Ustus says, "Come to think of it...I will be right back. I need to gather something."
>
Ustus turns to face Shikinny.

>Starlaz quickly says, "I do not serve elves."

Weewillow makes a faint wheezing sound.

Shikinny stands up.

>Shikinny curtsies to Ustus.

>Weewillow softly exclaims, "You can't leave us here!"
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "How do i serve elves?"
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Apparently they dislike us healing elves."
>
Morgannia says, "Oh don't go."

>Speaking in broken common, Kapera asks, "You heal them, dont you?"
>
Ustus says, "Servant, watch over this place and prepare the bodies."
>
Shikinny gulps.

>Shikinny nods.
>
Morgannia says, "Eep."
>
Ustus says, "I shall return..."

>Starlaz quickly says, "I heal anyone in need."
>
Ustus just left.

>A slim white candle burns with a warm golden light.

>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I always dreamed of meeting a ruler, but this really isn't what I had in mind."
>
Morgannia says, "Shikinny, please, let us go."

Starlaz quickly says, "I don't approve of this i follow my own way."

>You softly say, "I heal those who aks for it.."

>Starlaz quickly says, "No one elses."

Speaking in broken common to Shikinny, Kapera says, "Please.. our friends need us."

You see Shikinny.
She appears to be a Burghal Gnome of the Winedotter Bloodline.
She appears to be young and untried and very short. She has bulging greenish-grey eyes and pallid, pockmarked skin. She has raggedly cut, frizzy copper red hair streaked with grey. She has a bony face.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a beaded crow feather hair-ornament secured with three blue ribbons, a carved bone fox skull medallion, a small variegated grey silk robe trimmed with peach blossom embroidery, a flaxen rope belt, a gold-clasped pleated silk bag, and a pair of braided silk sandals.

>Speaking quietly to herself, Shikinny says, "He's normally nicer than that... he's just under a lot of pressure."

Shikinny mumbles something in Gnomish.
>
Morgannia says, "Those who we help and serve are dying."
>
Speaking in broken common to Shikinny, Allesia asks, "Why do you do as he says?"

Shikinny says, "But they have to die, don't you see? It's the only way they'll ever learn."
>

Shikinny moves to stand in front of Weewillow.
>
Shikinny kneels down.

Weewillow softly says, "Shikinny...release us while he is away."

Morgannia says, "No, I don't understand."

>Shikinny exclaims, "No!"

>Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "Die? Did she just say die?"

Shikinny says, "You're bad. You're all bad people who serve the elves. The elves are cruel and bad and arrogant...."

>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I really think she said die."


frown shikYou don't seem to be able to move to do that.

>Shikinny blinks back tears and shakes her head fiercely.


Chaliell says, "Well i don't disagree with you there."


Weewillow softly exclaims, "Shikinny...he has filled your head with terrible wrong ideas!"

>Morgannia says, "But...I am an elf, of sorts."

>Chaliell says, "They are arrogant. at least some are."

>
Chaliell says, "But not all are."


Weewillow softly says, "Help us."
>Shikinny picks up a snow white silk cloth.
>
You softly say, "Release us.."
>Weewillow softly says, "His plan cannot be for anything good."

>The white candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

look [Ritual Chamber]
Lines of shimmering silver and gold twine across the floor, forming a large circle of runes upon the dark surface. Deathstones have been set into the floor at even intervals along the circle. A slim white candle burns beside each stone, but the gems seem to suck away the radiance of the flames, leaving the room shadowed and gloomy. The room is flawlessly clean, but the smell of scented soap mingles with the smell of sick troll on the air. You also see the Allesia disk, a mithril-barred ironwood door in the west wall, a drugged and heavily chained Agresh troll warrior and a pentagonal stone table set inside the circle of runes.
Also here: Lord Kiligen who is sitting, Morgannia who is lying down, Kapera who is lying down, Lady Starlaz who is lying down, Chaliell who is lying down, Great Lady Allesia who is lying down, Weewillow who is sitting, Shikinny who is kneeling
Obvious exits: none

>Shikinny says, "I can't help you. If we help you, the elves won't learn what they need to learn."

>Morgannia says, "You must let us go...he will not know."


look warr
You see a fairly typical Agresh troll warrior.
It appears to be in good shape.
It has nothing at this time.


Morgannia says, "Tell us, we can teach them."
>
Weewillow softly asks, "How can we help you teach the elves?"

>Shikinny dampens the cloth carefully.

>Chaliell says, "Not all elves are as ignorant as they used to be."
>
Shikinny says, "They turned away from the gods. They don't listen to the gods."

>Shikinny says, "They don't listen to anyone but themselves."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "See you elves got me in trouble."

>Shikinny says, "They live forever, and they don't care about people, and they aren't nice to people..."

A slim white candle flickers a moment and nearly goes out, then its flame springs to life again, burning merrily.
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Hehe."

>Shikinny exclaims, "They expect everyone else to just be servants and slaves!"

>Morgannia says, "I'm nice to people."

Shikinny exclaims, "And you do what they want!"

>Kiligen knowingly says, "I want to go back."

>Kiligen knowingly says, "I dont want to be here."

>Shikinny says, "I can't do that."

>Shikinny sniffs.
>
Chaliell says, "None of us do, Kiligen."

Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Kiligen we all want to go back."
>
Weewillow softly says, "It is what we do shikinny."
>
Weewillow softly says, "We heal."

Morgannia says, "That's right."

>Kiligen knowingly says, "We help."
>
Chaliell says, "We have to help people. it's who we are."
>
Morgannia says, "Perhaps not as much as we once did, but we still do."
>
The white candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.
>
Weewillow softly says, "Our deaths will na mean anything."

>Shikinny dabs at Weewillow's injuries with her damp cloth, cleaning away blood and grime.
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "If.. elves are as arrogant and bad as you say, then how do you know they will learn from this?"

Shikinny says, "They won't have a choice."
>
Weewillow softly says, "Thank you Shikinny."

>Shikinny stands up.

>Shikinny moves to stand in front of Allesia.

>Shikinny kneels down.

Weewillow softly says, "I know you want to help us."

Starlaz quickly asks, "So am i only suppose to heal eriti?"
>
>Shikinny exclaims, "If you were good people, you wouldn't be in an elven city!"
>
A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.
> *
Shikinny says, "You're bad, and mean, and hurtful..."
>
Morgannia exclaims, "No!"
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "You could let us go and then come with us, get away from that bossy man."

Morgannia says, "We are good."
>You softly say, "Though some of us are elves of sorts, and we are not mean and hurtful..."
>
Weewillow softly asks, "Oh Shikinny...who has filled your head with such nonsense?"
>Chaliell says, "I'm not mean.. usually."
>Shikinny says, "No. He's good. He sees how it has to be."
>Starlaz quickly asks, "You know why i am here?"
>Shikinny rubs at Allesia's injuries with her damp cloth, washing away blood and grime.
>
You softly say, "On a grand scale of things, I'd say we are more than helpful."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Put better critters in the erithi areas."
>Starlaz quickly says, "Ha."
>
Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny says, "You're here because you were helping the elves, and then he found you and took you here."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I know this."
>Shikinny says, "I... I'm sorry to do this to you. I know you aren't elves, not really..."
>Shikinny stands up.
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "I wasn't helping anyone, and he took me anyway."
>Shikinny moves to stand in front of Chaliell.
>Shikinny kneels down.
>The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I will continue to help elves."
>Speaking worriedly to Chaliell, Shikinny asks, "Does your nose still itch?"
>
Starlaz quickly exclaims, "No matter what!"
>
Chaliell says, "Nae."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I help everyone."
>Morgannia says, "We help, regardless of race or past hurts."
>Chaliell says, "I think it was a stray hair."
>
Shikinny glances over at Chaliell and winces.
>

sighYou don't seem to be able to move to do that.
>Shikinny rummages through a gold-clasped pleated silk bag, pausing once in a while and then quickly resuming the search.
>
A faint silvery glow fades from around Allesia.
>Morgannia says, "But your master, he will harm us."
>
Shikinny picks up a wet acantha leaf poultice.
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "You really seem too nice, too kindhearted to be following his orders. You should think about that."
>
You softly ask, "He will be the bad person, then, yes?"
>The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.
>
"We only aid those who suffer. * Goldspot joins the adventure.
>You softly say, "We only aid those who suffer."


You softly ask, "What bad can be seen in that?"
>
Shikinny carefully applies the acantha leaves to Chaliell's broken legs.
>

Shikinny asks, "Don't you see that this can't go on?"
>
Chaliell says, "Thank you."
>Morgannia says, "He is harming all those who need us desperately now, and we are not there to help them."
>
Shikinny exclaims, "I'm sorry you got involved in this... I'm really sorry... but they don't need you! We need you more!"
>Shikinny stands up.
>Starlaz quickly exclaims, "A shame to the erithi race!"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "He is."
>

Shikinny moves to stand in front of Starlaz.
>Shikinny kneels down.
>A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.
>
Shikinny says, "No. He sees things, important things."
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "Like what?"
>Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny asks, "Don't you know what the elves stole from your people?"
>
Morgannia asks, "How can helping just one be better than helping the masses?"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Yes."

Starlaz quickly says, "Not these elves."


>
Kiligen knowingly says, "The people need us."

>
>Chaliell says, "Not entirely supporting the Erithi, but, if he was all bad, he would nae have his helper take good care of us."
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "They will die without our assistance."
>Shikinny exclaims, "City elves are all the same!"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "These elves stole nothing thatw as the pass."
>
A slim white candle burns with a warm golden light.
>

Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "He's not here, he may not know about this Chaliell or support it."
>Speaking softly to Chaliell, you say, "He said to prepare the bodies, I don't get a good feeling from that."
>
Morgannia says, "We have all been welcomed in the Shining City."
>Starlaz quickly says, "That was the pass."

Shikinny says, "He's just angry, he gets like that when he's angry. He's normally so kind..."

Chaliell says, "Too true, kapera."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "What happened to make him so angry, exactly?"
>

>Starlaz quickly exclaims, "I will continue to heal elves!"
>
Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny says, "No. No, you won't."
>Starlaz quickly says, "No matter what."

You softly say, "All those who seek aid.."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Oh oh."
>
>Starlaz quickly says, "Yes i will."
>Morgannia says, "All who are in need."
>
>Speaking softly to Starlaz, Shikinny asks, "You won't ever leave here, don't you see that?"
>
The white candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

>Shikinny moves to stand in front of Kapera.

>Shikinny kneels down.
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Good."
>Starlaz quickly says, "I need a break."
>
Shikinny washes blood and grime away from Kapera's injuries.
>
Shikinny stands up.
>Speaking softly to Shikinny, you ask, "We will never leave?"


>Shikinny turns to face you.
>Starlaz quickly says, "I am not skeerd."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "If this is the kind of ritual Im thinking of.. You won't have to worry about ever working again Starlaz."
You quickly say, "I must leave..he needs me."

Shikinny says, "Well... not never... but not... as you."

>Morgannia asks, "You are frightening us, Shikinny, is that the way of your master?"
>
Starlaz quickly exclaims, "I am not skeerd!"
>Shikinny says, "I'm sorry I'm frightening you."
>
Shikinny bites her lip.
>
Shikinny says, "I won't talk any more."
>
A wisp of smoke rises from a slim white candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "No no, keep talking."
>
Shikinny says, "It's probably best if you think about... well, nice things... forests and butterflies and friends...."
>Shikinny shrugs.
>
Morgannia says, "No, we need you to tell us what is happening."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "We're obviously skittish, I mean we're here. And we cannot move."
>Shikinny moves to stand in front of Morgannia.
>Starlaz quickly says, "If my hands was lose i would pick you up and put ye in my pocket."
>Shikinny kneels down.
>
Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny exclaims, "See? You're just like an elf!"
>Chaliell asks, "Why should we think about friends if you want to destroy our friends?"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "No that was a compliment."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "Your so cute."
>Shikinny says, "If you don't have any friends who aren't elven, then you're in sad state indeed."
>Morgannia says, "Our friends are dying, as we sit here, in captivity."
>Kiligen knowingly says, "Not very kind of you Shikinny."
>
A faint, flickering light emanates from a slim white candle, warming the room with its glow.
>
Chaliell says, "I have many friends, both elf and not."
>
Shikinny washes blood and grime away from Morgannia's injuries.
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "Our friends in family are in need of us, and we are here."
>Shikinny says, "I'm sorry for your other friends."
>Shikinny stands up.
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera asks, "So sorry you'll let them die?"
>
Shikinny says, "Um. Do any of you have messages you want to send them? I could take a message, I think..."
> "He will come for me.."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Not a sincere apology."
>
Shikinny glances nervously at the door.
> .You quietly say, "Please, Shikinny."
>Starlaz quickly says, "Yea i do."
>
>
Starlaz quickly exclaims, "Tell them to kill the demons!"
>
Shikinny turns away from Starlaz, ignoring her.
>Speaking softly to Shikinny, you ask, "Can you get a message to my milari's Ad'shai..Lord Xandalf?"
>
A small draft catches the flame of a slim white candle and it flickers brightly.
>
Morgannia says, "Tell them we are sorry."
>
Speaking carefully to you, Shikinny asks, "Ad'shai Xandalf?"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "No sorry."
>
Speaking softly to Shikinny, you say, "Xandalf.."
>Starlaz quickly asks, "Sorry for what?"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "It was elves that did things long ago."
>Shikinny says, "Xandalf."
>Morgannia says, "Sorry for their pain and death, that we were unable to stop."

Starlaz quickly says, "This isn't right."
>Shikinny takes a deep breath.
>Shikinny nods.
>
Shikinny moves to stand in front of Kiligen.
>
A small draft catches the flame of a slim white candle and it flickers brightly.
>
Shikinny says, "I'm sure he'll give enough warning for everyone else to leave Ta'Illistim."
>
Shikinny says, "It's just the elves and their servants who will get hurt."
>Starlaz quickly says, "Pfft."
>
T
>Shikinny washes blood and grime away from Kiligen's injuries.
>Shikinny stands in front of you.
>
Shikinny kneels down.

Starlaz quickly says, "If you know anything about erithians you know we don't back down."
You softly say, "Oh my.."


Shikinny earnestly says, "It won't hurt you. Really."
>
A wisp of smoke rises from a slim white candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.
>
Starlaz quickly says, "We stand our ground."
>Shikinny says, "That's why the troll is here."
>
Shikinny dabs at your injuries with her damp cloth, cleaning away the blood and grime. She has a very gentle touch, and it doesn't hurt at all.
>Shikinny stands up.
>Morgannia says, "You do know that it is not just elves who live in the Shining City."
Speaking softly to Shikinny, you ask, "Can you send the message?"
>

Kiligen knowingly says, "What about the other people within the city."
>Speaking to you, Shikinny says, "I'll get it to him after the ritual. I can't leave now."
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "Is is just the elves that are going to be destroyed? or all."
>
Shikinny glance at the cloth in her hand.
>
Shikinny folds her cloth carefully.
>
A wisp of smoke rises from a slim white candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.
>
Shikinny put a bloodstained damp silk cloth in her pleated silk bag.
>
Shikinny put a wet acantha leaf poultice in her pleated silk bag.
>
Shikinny says, "It won't hurt a bit. He'll use the troll for the offering. I know you're afraid... I wish you weren't afraid..."
>
Shikinny wrings her hands nervously as she looks around the chamber.
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "If that were true you could let us go."
>
Shikinny says, "No, you'll just go to the elves. That can't happen."
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "Otherwise you are just spouting empty words to placate us."
>
Starlaz quickly exclaims, "I am not afraid!"
>
A wisp of smoke rises from a slim white candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.
>
Shikinny takes a deep breath.
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "What could we possibly tell the elves that would make sense?"
>
* Halgard joins the adventure.
You softly say, "I only fear for my Milari..without me.."

Morgannia says, "All this talk of elves, I'm afraid."
>
Shikinny hesitantly asks, "Mejinia Milari?"
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I am not elf."
>
Shikinny hesitantly asks, "Milari?"
>
Shikinny peers quizzically at you.
>
You softly say, "The ruler of my heart."

Speaking to Starlaz, Shikinny says, "You're worse than an elf. You're a traitor to your own people."
>Starlaz quickly says, "Pfft."
>
A small draft catches the flame of a slim white candle and it flickers brightly.
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I nae see it that way."
>
Speaking to you, Shikinny says, "But at least you had him. You knew him. He'll remember that he loved you, and go on after."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Starlaz helps people who need it -- there is nothing wrong with that."
>
Shikinny smiles nervously, plainly trying to be encouraging.
>whisper shik Please let Evarin, or Xandalf know..I simply said...always..he will understand.You don't seem to be able to move to do that.

Shikinny exclaims, "The elves don't need help!"
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "You are a slave of an erithi?"
>
'He knows no love for me..You quietly say, "He knows no love for me.."
>Shikinny exclaims, "I'm not a slave!"
>Shikinny says, "I'm his friend...."
>
Shikinny gulps.
>You quietly say, "He knows of love, because of me."
>Starlaz quickly says, "He tells you what to do."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "Is that why he was bossing you about?"
>
Shikinny says, "He knows what needs to be done. I help him because we're friends."
>
Chaliell says, "If you are his friend why does he treat you so."
>

Morgannia says, "Not just you, but us, too."
>
Shikinny exclaims, "He's not normally like that!"
>
Morgannia says, "As you have said."
>
A bit of melted wax drips from a slim white candle with a hiss. The flame jumps, burning high for a moment, then settles into a warm glow.
>Shikinny says, "He's nervous, he's upset! He doesn't want to do this, but it has to be done."
>
Morgannia says, "He doesn't need to do anything."
>Chaliell says, "Very little in life HAS to be done."
>
Shikinny says, "It makes him... worried."
>Starlaz quickly exclaims, "He is a trader!"

Morgannia says, "Except let us go so we can continue our work."
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Perhaps you would be doing him a favor to release us then, I mean if he doesn't really want to do this."
>

You quietly say, "Something he'll regret later, perhaps."
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "As his friend, I am sure you care about him and what's best for him."
>Shikinny quietly says, "I can't do that. He's good and wise. He knows the elves have to be punished.... they won't learn unless they're punished."
>The powerful look leaves Chaliell.
>A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.
>
Morgannia asks, "So why then is he punishing us?"
>Shikinny says, "They turned away from the gods, and they don't respect anyone but themselves, and they took away his people's history."
>Shikinny says, "He's not punishing you."

Shikinny says, "You're just necessary. He needs healers."
>
Morgannia says, "I consider this punishment."
>
Shikinny sighs.
>Chaliell asks, "Why does he need healers?"
>Shikinny says, "I'm sorry."
>Starlaz quickly says, "I will not back down on my own values,for someone elses values to be pushed on me."
>Morgannia exclaims, "My friends are dying!"
>
Shikinny says, "Soon, you won't consider it punishment. It'll be all gone."
>
The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.
>
Chaliell rubs her chin thoughtfully.
>

Starlaz quickly says, "Oh."
>Morgannia says, "Being held captive is punishment of the worst kind."
>
Shikinny says, "It won't be much longer."
>
'You quietly say, "Our bodies, bound, and not able to do the work we must, to help.."
You quietly say, "The ache.."
>
Shikinny says, "It will be over by dawn."
>
Shikinny says, "There's half of the ritual that comes before dawn, and then half that comes after. Then you go home. Sort of."
>A bit of melted wax drips from a slim white candle with a hiss. The flame jumps, burning high for a moment, then settles into a warm glow.
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "The not knowing is what bothers me most. It leads my thoughts to wander toward the worst."
>
Morgannia says, "My heart cannot bear it."
>
Kiligen just left.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "Sort of?"
>Shikinny says, "Sort of."

Speaking to Shikinny, Chaliell asks, "Tell us about this ritual, please. Maybe it will ease our minds a little?"

Shikinny says, "It's... well, it's a scary ritual."

Chaliell asks, "And you tell us not to be scared?"

The Agresh troll warrior moans and thrashes before subsiding again.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "Is..is that troll alright?"
>Shikinny closes her eyes for a moment.
>You quietly ask, "That troll seems pretty restles, why is it so drugged?"
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Uhh.. I don't like the sounds of that."

Shikinny asks, "I... I don't think so. Trolls aren't very bright, are they?"

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I s'pose this sounds odd, but I feel sympathy for the troll."
>You quietly say, "Not a word many use to describe him, he is wise, and strong willed, and very kind to me."
>
Shikinny says, "I guess that's why you're a healer. To feel sympathy for anything... an elf, a dog, a troll."
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I mean, it takes the challenge out of hunting to see him just chained there about to die."

Shikinny quietly says, "Or not, if you're a hunter."

Shikinny turns away from Allesia.

Shikinny bites her lip.

Morgannia says, "I do not kill without regard to how my prey might feel."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "See? It is for that reason that we heal elves, its in our nature to feel compassion for others."

Shikinny says, "He's kind."

Shikinny defiantly says, "Not like your milani."

Morgannia asks, "This is kindness?"

You quietly say, "My milari treats me very well."

Shikinny looks into the candle flame, and the shadow of her body leaves the room more shadowed.

A small draft catches the flame of a slim white candle and it flickers brightly.

Kiligen knowingly asks, "You would go against all healers to stand by Ustus?"

Shikinny exclaims, "I don't see any reason to do anything for you!"

Shikinny winces.
>Morgannia says, "Friends do not ration."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "A friend gives you a ration? Ahem."
>
Ustus says, "We better get started. I do not want to miss my deadline."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera asks, "Rations? you don't even get money for this Shikinny?"

Shikinny says, "We're friends. Friends take care of each other."

Ustus removes a polished green crystal bowl traced with golden swirls from in his raw silk pack.

The white candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

Ustus dips his finger into the blood-filled bowl, then begins to carve a rune upon the bleached snake skull resting upon the table.
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Maybe the spirit of snakes will agree with us on this one, considering its unquestioned wisdom and all."
>
Morgannia asks, "Blood and bone I can understand...but snakes?"

A slim white candle flickers a moment and nearly goes out, then its flame springs to life again, burning merrily.
>Starlaz quickly says, "Evilness."
>Ustus says, "The snake spirits will complete the binding of the bone."
>You say, "Snakes..perhaps they are simply..a symbol for something.."
>You say, "Yes..evil."
>Ustus says, "Although, I am not really sure why I am telling you any of this. You will not understand."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Because evil always monologues."
>
A wisp of smoke rises from a slim white candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.
>
Morgannia says, "We may be unfamiliar with evil, but we are not stupid."
>
Ustus says, "We should just move on to the Weave of Forgotten Spirit."
>
Ustus says, "Don't worry though, once we finish the Weave of Forgotton Will, it will be over."
>

Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "And we'll just be free to walk through that door when it is over?"
>A slim white candle burns with a warm golden light.
>
Ustus says, "Of course."
>Morgannia says, "Hmm."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera asks, "And how will this teach the elves anything again?"
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "So what will be different?"
>
Ustus says, "You will then transform at my will, to do my bidding."
>
Morgannia says, "Uh oh."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Oh I don't like the sounds of that."
>

Chaliell says, "I'm a scrawny giant, i won't be of much use for you."
>The white candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.



Ustus says, "Although I can control the undead, I am in need of a powerful type, to heal its wounds and my undead army."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "A scrawny giant? Heh."
>Ustus says, "You will serve that purpose."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I mean, ahem. Yes, she's rather scrawny."

Ustus says, "Upon my command, you will kill yourself, then be transformed into the undead, regenerative servants that I need."
>
Morgannia says, "I don't think we can heal your undead...no matter what you might do."
>
>Ustus says, "See, it's not so bad."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "See guys? that is evil."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "That's a matter of opinion there, Sir."
>
Speaking knowingly in Guildspeak, Kiligen says, "Terribly evil."
>
Ustus says, "Serving the greater good? Being on the winning side? You get it all."
>Speaking knowingly in Guildspeak, Kiligen says, "Told you we were going to be reanimated."
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I've never really been the suicidal servant sort, actually."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera asks, "As soon as my bindings are loosened how about we just off you instead?"
>Chaliell asks, "How do the gods that you swear the elves have forgotten feel about suicide?"
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "We'll serve that purpose."
>
The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.
> * Lendros joins the adventure.
Ustus says, "You can not, and will not, harm me."
>Ustus chuckles.
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "He obviously hasn't much experience with women, otherwise he'd know that the last thing a fella wants to do is anger a whole group of them."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "We'll see about that."
>
Morgannia says, "Exactly."
>
Ustus says, "And you obviously do not know the power of the Weave of Forgotten Will."
>
Chaliell asks, "Explain it to us?"
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "And who's fault is that, Mr. I can't explain because you won't understand anything?"
>A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.
>A shadow seems to detach itself from Ustus's body, swiftly dissipating into the air.
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I mean, Sir. Ahem."
>Morgannia says, "And you know nothing of the power of the Angry Empath."
>
Ustus says, "Well, we do have some time before the ritual must be complete..."
>


Ustus says, "Once the weave is complete, you will...will be replaced with mine."
>
Ustus ponders.
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "So i can be sitting and healing and if you want me to be a pink frog i will be?"
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "That what ye saying?"

The white candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the room.
>Ustus says, "No, you will be my undead healer."
>Morgannia says, "Perhaps an undead pink frog."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I will not."
>
Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Now on the one hand, that would be quite the sight to see.. I mean, if it happened to someone else."
>
You quietly say, "My will, my heart, my soul..will always return me to Evarin."

Starlaz quickly asks, "What if i refuse?"
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I'll shush. Never mind."
>You quietly say, "You will hold no power over me."
>
Chaliell asks, "We're not going to turn zombie-rotting fleshy are we?"
>
Ustus says, "It's not a matter of refusing. It's not optional."
>Morgannia says, "Our will might be stronger than you anticipate."
>
Speaking to Chaliell, Ustus says, "No."
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "We gonna be animated?"
>You quietly say, "Our combined will, is what you may not have planned on."
>Ustus says, "Because of your healing and regenerative properties, your bodies should stay intact."
>
Starlaz quickly asks, "That what ye saying?"
>
Chaliell says, "Should..."

A bit of melted wax drips from a slim white candle with a hiss. The flame jumps, burning high for a moment, then settles into a warm glow.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "We would be a cute group of undead, very stylish.. they normally wear those shrouds and rags."

Shikinny hurries quietly through the door.
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "I'm sorry, I'm trying to focus on a bright side to all of this."
>Morgannia says, "We do know how to dress."
>
Ustus glances at Shikinny.
> .You quietly say, "Oh definatly."
>Shikinny pushes the door closed again.

>Ustus asks, "What was the delay for?"
>Shikinny bars the door.
>Shikinny says, "Snakebite."

The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.
>
Shikinny gives an unconvincing grimace that might be a smile.
>Morgannia says, "Oh, so it was not the elves afterall."
>Speaking knowingly in Guildspeak, Kiligen asks, "You died from a snake bite?"

Chaliell says, "Yes i've never seen any undead with sandals such as yours, Kapera."
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Why thank you Chaliell."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "I have nice sandals too."
>Shikinny says, "I was washing the needle and tripped and... er... there was a snake..."

Ustus asks, "And what about this massage they claimed you gave them?"
>
Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "I just wish I didnt have to be undead with all these scars."
>Ustus glares at Shikinny.
>Starlaz quickly asks, "Can we keep our clothes?"
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Oh those are lovely sandals.."
>Shikinny asks, "What?"
>Shikinny's face turns slightly pale.
>Chaliell says, "Massage."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "In case Galesmight shows up again."

Shikinny exclaims, "I would never do anything like that!"
>Shikinny says, "You're my friend..."
>Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "We didn't say massage, we said she had a gentle touch.. just as refreshing as a massage."
>
Ustus shifts his eyes to Shikinny.
>
Ustus says, "I hope so."
>Shikinny stares up at Ustus.
>
A small draft catches the flame of a slim white candle and it flickers brightly.
>Shikinny hesitantly asks, "We are friends... right?"
>"You quietly say, "Her touch..was soothing, as a massage would be."

Starlaz quickly asks, "We being animated?"

Kiligen knowingly says, "He isnt your friend."

Kiligen knowingly says, "He is using you to do his bidding."

Kiligen knowingly says, "You are nothing more than an object."

Morgannia says, "And to bring us harm."
>Ustus glances at Kiligen.
>Shikinny asks, "Right?"
>Shikinny stares at Ustus.
>
Kiligen knowingly says, "He doesnt care for you or love you and he certainly doesnt consider you a friend."
>Kiligen knowingly says, "He laughted when you died."
>
Ustus exclaims, "Do not listen to them. They want to seperate us!"
>
Shikinny exclaims, "He did not!"
>Speaking quietly in broken common, Allesia says, "Don't be so terribly hard on her, that's very harsh, Kiligen."
>Shikinny stares at Kiligen.

Kiligen knowingly says, "Didnt give a damn one way or the other."

Morgannia says, "Laughed and did a little dance."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "He did too."
>A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.
>Starlaz quickly says, "He laughed."

Kiligen knowingly asks, "And yet you are willing to do his bidding?"

Shikinny says in a low, defeated tone, "I don't believe any of you. Not even a little bit."

Shikinny shudders.
>Kiligen knowingly asks, "A man so cold and caluoous he doesnt care a whim for you?"
>Starlaz quickly says, "You notice he didn't come look for you."
>Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "He just using you Shikinny, you are his pawn."

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "What he says is true, but.. I'm sorry you have to hear of it this way."
>Kiligen knowingly says, "You could do so much better Shikinny."
>
Starlaz quickly says, "He didn't care."

Speaking quietly to Ustus, Shikinny asks, "What's next?"
>Kiligen knowingly says, "There are much better people out there then the likes of him."


Morgannia says, "We could be your friend, all of us."

You see Morgannia Holycraft the Martyr.
She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Kytawa D'ahranal.
She appears to have come of age and taller than average. She has sparkling multi-hued eyes and alabaster skin. She has waist length, silky deep red hair with burnished highlights that flows together over her shoulders to create a single thick plait. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and tall upswept pointed ears.
She has a complex wheat and eye tattoo on her neck, and a series of gold rings adorned with shield-shaped faceted crystals set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.
She has old battle scars on her right leg, developed slurred speech, and a scar across her face.
She is holding a crystal-set witchwood runestaff in her right hand and a scratched thanot coffer in her left hand.
She is wearing a water-filled sapphire teardrop suspended from a triple-strand veniom chain headband, a twisted veniom and silver knotwork hatpin set with a dragonfire opal, a malachite-set white lily symbol, a deeply hooded cloak of shimmering opalescent silk, an elaborately tooled staff sling, an opal-set veniom-threaded pack, a bell-sleeved amethyst silk cotehardie embroidered with a cluster of fragile lily blossoms around the neckline, a pale white cotton blouse with embroidered full sleeves, a delicate multihued jade handflower, a sleek gold sylvan-crafted wristband, a hazy glass ring, a thick velvet coin pouch, a leather and tapestry book bag, a wispy cobalt chiffon skirt with a soft cream underskirt, some shapely sylvan-crafted leathers, and a pair of lily-clasped slippers.
>Ustus says, "The Weave of Forgotten Spirit."

Kiligen knowingly says, "Someone that is so cold he has to stop us from healing people."

A slim white candle glows warmly with a soft, flickering light.

Ustus smirks.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Probably not mine, I don't really have a great spirit. Its generally a bit downtrodden and rather ditsy, too."

Shikinny says, "I mean, it worked for the blood... so we didn't have to hurt them."

Kiligen knowingly says, "Use my spirit."

Ustus says, "No, no, I have just the person in mind."

Flame burns through Shikinny's abdomen. Greasy smoke billows forth.

* Shikinny drops dead at your feet!

Shikinny appears less secure.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Disgusting, I say."

Ustus scowls.

Ustus says, "It matters not. They will never find this chamber."

A faint, flickering light emanates from a slim white candle, warming the room with its glow.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia says, "Don't cry, don't cry. Be strong, Shikinny."

Morgannia says, "Poor thing, betrayed by the likes of him."

Ustus utters, then geatures at Shikinny's body. A dim outline of her body lifts up, then hovers slightly abouce the pentagonal stone table.
>Morgannia exclaims, "Xandalf, we are in here!"

Starlaz quickly says, "We told you shikinny."

A scream of utter agony trembles through the chamber... and Shikinny's corpse slowly dissolves, breaking into its component pieces and trembling away as nothing but dust.

Ustus cackles!

Morgannia says, "Oh, the poor dear."

Chaliell says, "You should have taken mine, Ustus. At least that would have presented a remote challenge."

Morgannia says, "I don't think so, Allesia."

Ustus says, "Her spirit will be used to channel the binding."

The glow from a slim white candle softly illuminates the room.

Speaking in broken common, Allesia asks, "Doesn't something coming unprepped in a ritual constitute stopping and trying again another day?"

Ustus chuckles.

Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Allesia, he doesnt have all empaths.. there is still Violenttmoon out there."

look[Ritual Chamber]
Lines of shimmering silver and gold twine across the floor, forming a large circle of runes upon the dark surface. Deathstones have been set into the floor at even intervals along the circle. A slim white candle burns beside each stone, but the gems seem to suck away the radiance of the flames, leaving the room shadowed and gloomy. The room is flawlessly clean, but the smell of scented soap mingles with the smell of sick troll on the air. You also see a set of bloodstained chains, the Allesia disk, a mithril-barred ironwood door in the west wall and a pentagonal stone table set inside the circle of runes with a bleached snake skull on it.
Also here: Necromancer Ustus, Lord Kiligen who is sitting, Morgannia who is lying down, Kapera who is lying down, Lady Starlaz who is lying down, Chaliell who is lying down, Great Lady Allesia who is lying down, Weewillow who is sitting

[Amber]

Wow, exciting night for y'all and saved just in the nick of time.

[Leetahkin]

What a LONG but interesting read.
Were they truly saved though? They are marked, they have something under their skin... interesting to see if it continues.

[Jolena]

Check out the events calendar on the play.net site for tomorrow I believe it is. There is a scheduled in game event surrounding this log and saving the healers afflicted.

[Xandalf]

I have a log of the same event, only from the rescuers point of view.

It's actually longer. If you want it I can post it though.

[Jolena]

Please do, I would love to read it.

[Xandalf]

Uggh.... now I gotta edit this 2+ MB log.

[ElanthianSiren]

Event is tonight at 7 EST, I think. I'm debating if or if not to bring my Empath. Little psychopath would probably want to help the other side, so I might just leave you all to your fun.

-M

[Fallen]

8pm tonight, in front of the Ta'Illistim Empath's guild. All empaths, regardless of any previous involvement are desperately sought. Non-empaths will play a prefunctionary role, and those evil types who want to aid the enemy are going to get a disk full of pain.

Come one, come all.

Edited to add: I read this log soon after Merjinia finished it. Aside from a bad apple or two, it was a great read.

[Edited on 8-17-2005 by Fallen]

[Burnt out Priestess]

I thought it was thursday night?according to the calendar anyhow.

[Artha]

Kiligen knowingly asks, "Where the heck are wel?"
Nice.

[Snapp]

Great read. Thanks for posting it Rangerpuff.

[Fallen]

I thought it was thursday night?according to the calendar anyhow. >>

Correct, I believe several of us may have gotten confused on the date. Myself included. I blame this on the fact that there is no explanation of the damn days of the week. The time verb lacks greatly.

So, TOMORROW. Not tonight. 8 PM

[Artha]

CALENDAR has all the days and months and holidays.

[Fallen]

Well color me retarded. I could have sworn I tried that verb. I couldn't imagine it not existing.

Thanks Artha, no excuse for missing that.

Ooooo SO SO HARD NOT TO SIG THIS! :smilegrin:

[Fallen]

The truth is the truth. I sat there swearing my head off, attempting to figure out the IC days of the week. I must have misspelled Calendar, and blamed the game for my own damned idiocy.

Live and learn.
