(Posted this over in the Bad Names list by accident first.)
This was one of the more wunderbar exchanges I've ever had at the Dais ... :
After exchanging a few quips, Exitialis decides that he has no other response than to start calling me a retard and pretending he can't understand what I'm saying. Then he attempts to ward me with some spell, for a CS 100 below my self-spelled TD. He casts a lightning cloud. I glance at it, spike thorn him, and he dies.
I work out the matter with the judge and then head on back to the dais to tell him that lightning is a rather rude spell, and all he can do is call me a retard and swear to the high heavens that now no one will come and rescue my dead body (oh, noes! I is terrified). I quake in fear.
Speaking to Exitialis, you say, "I'm going to have to remember you. I'll give you a special place in my thoughts next to the memory of the town idiot in Baguka, who drank his own blood when he was thirsty."
...
After about ten minutes of nothing happening, this nonsense comes out of the blue:
Alyssea gestures at you.
The force of Alyssea's power warps the air as it surges toward you!
CS: +412 - TD: +351 + CvA: -9 + d100: +49 - -5 == +106
Warding failed!
A nebulous haze shimmers into view around you, plunging inward to envelop your abdomen!
... 5 points of damage!
Blast creates interesting designs on torso, but little damage.

Wide segment of skin disappears from chest.

A mischievous golden brown fox lunges her head forward and snaps her jaws shut where Alyssea's left leg was moments before. Alyssea was nearly bitten!
Alyssea gestures at you.

[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 wooden barrel and a floating dais.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest

Great Lord Exitialis just arrived.

Exitialis utters a light chant and raises his hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to his aid...

Exitialis gestures at you.
You notice a small cloud form above you.

[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
The city's general store provides the backdrop for this bustling area of the court. A few patrons wander in and out of the stone building's front entrance, conversing jovially amongst themselves as they shop. Two city guardsmen stand watch outside the store.
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest

You also see a churning cloud, a disheveled desert fox, a wooden barrel and a floating dais.

Exitialis traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...
Exitialis gestures.
A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.
You notice the storm cloud begin to churn rapidly!

Speaking in Elven, you say, "You are a coward to bar none."
After that nonsense, I head over to the fountain to chew some herbs, and then:
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
