[Wehnimer's, Outside Gate]
Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read. You also see a rolton that is webbed, a mischievous golden brown fox and a Wayside Inn.
Obvious paths: north, east, southwest, northwest
You yawn.
You lean on your bow, taking a momentary rest.
A rolton struggles fruitlessly in the webbing entangling her.
You gesture while summoning the spirits of nature to aid you with the Call Swarm spell...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a rolton.
Surging like a single-minded entity, a swarm of insects converge on its webbed prey, surrounding a rolton in a frenzied grey haze. Inevitably, the sticky strands capture the insects, and their struggles bring forth a bevy of tiny black spiders, which encase the insects in silk, strengthening the original structure of the webbing.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Interlocking your fingers, you slowly extend your arms up over your head in a long, satisfying stretch.

You hear someone cough.
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Whisker.
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "Your arrogance is misplaced and misguided."

You say, "Rot there, then."
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Although not sure in your case if it's arrogance or simple lack of self-esteem.."
You see Boddiker.
He appears to be a Human from Trauntor.
He is taller than average and appears to be mature. He has piercing clear colored eyes and tanned skin. He has cropped, straight silver hair. He has a clean-shaven face.
He has a silver-banded black invar pipe clenched between his teeth.
He appears to be DEAD!
He has a completely severed right leg, a blinded left eye, and severe head trauma and bleeding from the ears.
He is bleeding from the right leg.
He is holding a wicked diamond-studded stiletto in his right hand.
He is wearing a large gold ring, a wide-brimmed black felt hat, a black hood, a small crystal wraith earcuff, a crystal amulet, an enruned star sapphire neckchain, a ruby amulet, a jet black greatcloak, a burnished golden sigil, a golden feather charm, a murky grey scarf, a coal black sash, an ebony vest, a perfect midnight black rose, some fitted deep black gloves, a zombie head-shaped clasp, an emerald Luukos symbol, a miniature black coffin holding a small canvas wrapped body, a ring of golden keys dangling from an obsidian pin, some silvery vultite cufflinks, a black neckerchief, an ebony scarf, an articulated gold skeleton pin inlaid with bone chips, a small Silvergate pin, a shadowy black pin, a scowling skull pin, a rose-twined ruby skull pin, a nicked glaes shield slung over his shoulder, a black oilcloth backpack, some midnight black rolaren-studded brigandine, a blackworked crimson silk shirt, some dark mithril bracers, a delicate silver charm bracelet, an etched mithril bracelet adorned with broken sapphire shards, a green serpent-embossed signet ring, an ornate poison ring, a ruby-eyed scaly green serpent finger puppet, a black suede knife belt, a small shadowy black velvet pouch, a fine gold alloy flask, a small gold locksmith kit, some gold-edged deep black pants, and some deep black silver-tipped boots.

Boddiker gives a ghostly chuckle.
Tonklin asks, "Boddiker would ya like some healing?"
Tonklin whispers, "I want exp!"
Tonklin grins at you.
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "With a higher percentage going towards the "I need to act like a big shot to hide my real inadequacy" route..."

A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.
The ghostly voice of Boddiker asks, "Am I getting close there, "tough guy"?"

A silvery translucent thread extends from Whisker encompassing Boddiker's corpse.
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Oh, no need. They're already quite plain to see, trust me.."
>
Whisker gestures at Boddiker.
Chanting slowly, the sound reminiscent of cogs moving through a large machine, Whisker gazes down at Boddiker with a sense of greater understanding in his eyes. Briefly touching upon Boddiker's forehead, Whisker reignites the spark of life within him.
Boddiker seems slightly different.
Tonklin whispers, "Deed him."
Cinabar heartily asks, "How he die?"
Tonklin says, "Bandit got him."

>
Whisker offers Boddiker a loaf of dark crusty ale bread.
>
Boddiker says, "People like you are textbook, actually."
>
Speaking to Boddiker, you ask, "One, because you somehow lack the intelligence of a shellfish, you decided the best course of action tonight was to walk up and insultingly ask why a rolton was webbed. It was webbed because it tried to bite me. Then you parlayed that nonsense into an insult over whether I was insecure, so I webbed you. Then you questioned my abilities and intellect, so I killed you. Any further questions?"
>
Boddiker smirks at you!
>
Boddiker accepts Whisker's crusty ale bread.
You roll your eyes.
>
Boddiker watches a loaf of dark crusty ale bread closely for a moment.
The voice of Cyrroc says, "Sounds pretty straight forward to me."
Speaking to Boddiker, you ask, "You realize that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result?"
>
Boddiker says, "No, as I said no questions at all. You are a textbook case of inadequacy masked by an overly-developed tough guy act."
You glance appraisingly at Boddiker.

Soullslayur says, "More fightin words."

Soullslayur rocks back on his heels.
Boddiker says, "And if you think that whatever you do to me, and how many times, is going to change MY view of you, and whether I voice it or not, is truly mindless."
>
Boddiker says, "Even for you."
>
Boddiker winks at you.
>
Whisker gestures into the air.
You say, "He's just running his mouth in a sanctuary now."
You roll your eyes.
Boddiker says, "Hardly. Drop the sanctuary, child."
Tonklin's jaw drops.

You scratch your chin.

Soullslayur says, "Well.. Hes still linked to cleric."

Soullslayur says, "I think."

Tonklin stands up.
>
Boddiker says, "I will speak what you are, any time, any place."
The voice of Cyrroc says, "Don't, not while the cleric still has a risk."
>
Speaking to Boddiker, you ask, "Do you realize that I have at least 70 years on you?"
Boddiker says, "As I do with all morons.."
Whisker says, "Nawp links down."
You say, "You should think of a better insult."

Tonklin gestures at you.
An invisible force guides you.

Tonklin chuckles.

Tonklin ducks his head.
You chuckle at Tonklin.
Whisker says, "So Ill let you folks get on wit your business."

You are now in a defensive stance.

Boddiker asks, "And I have about 70 IQ points on YOU, but why quibble?"

Boddiker smirks.

The voice of Cyrroc exclaims, "You too!"
>
Tonklin asks, "What is IQ?"
The sense of peace and security begins to wane from the area.
Boddiker says, "A question I have no problem believing you'd need to ask..."
>
The sense of peace and security passes away from the area.
>
Boddiker begins chuckling at Tonklin!
Speaking to Boddiker, you exclaim, "Assertions are useful, aren't they? Look, I'm the king of Solhaven!"
You hold yourself up straighter and inhale, striking your most refined pose in an attempt to look a little bit more lithe and hopefully more elven.
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "It's true because I said it."
>
Tonklin gestures at Boddiker.
Boddiker looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.
The force of Tonklin's power warps the air as it surges toward Boddiker!

Tonklin says, "Very bad."

Boddiker gives a ghostly chuckle.
Speaking to Tonklin, you say, "I think this might become a theme."
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Whisker.

Whisker gestures at Boddiker.

Psyryn smirks at Tonklin.

Speaking slowly to Tonklin, Bristenn asks, ".. was that really necessary?"

The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "It's hardly an insult to state the obvious."
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Bristenn, for him it was. That;'s the point."

Speaking to Bristenn, Tonklin says, "It was, his lack of imagination made it so."

You lean on your bow, taking a momentary rest.

Bristenn takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.

Whisker nods.
Tonklin says, "Boddiker ye can take your seer's philosphy and go screw a rolton."

The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "The sad part, is that no matter what they do, or how many times, it won't change the facts."

The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Which actually, deep in their minds, they know.."
Bristenn slowly says, ".. indepth glance into their residual ids aside, I don't think violence is actually necessary."

Bristenn tiredly corrects, "Glances, rather."

Whisker raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "Your arrogance is both misguided and misplaced. And your psychology holds as much water as a sieve."

Whisker gestures at Boddiker.
Chanting slowly, the sound reminiscent of cogs moving through a large machine, Whisker gazes down at Boddiker with a sense of greater understanding in his eyes. Briefly touching upon Boddiker's forehead, Whisker reignites the spark of life within him.

Boddiker watches a loaf of dark crusty ale bread closely for a moment.
The voice of Cyrroc says, "Sounds pretty straight forward to me."
Speaking to Boddiker, you ask, "You realize that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result?"
>
Boddiker says, "No, as I said no questions at all. You are a textbook case of inadequacy masked by an overly-developed tough guy act."
You glance appraisingly at Boddiker.
>
Boddiker smirks at you!
>
Tonklin agrees with you.
>610 bod
You gesture while summoning the spirits of nature to aid you with the Tangleweed spell...
Your spell is ready.
>
Be at peace my child, there is no need for spells of war in here.
>
Soullslayur says, "More fightin words."
>
Soullslayur rocks back on his heels.
Boddiker says, "And if you think that whatever you do to me, and how many times, is going to change MY view of you, and whether I voice it or not, is truly mindless."
>
Boddiker says, "Even for you."
>
Boddiker winks at you.
>
Whisker gestures into the air.
You say, "He's just running his mouth in a sanctuary now."
You roll your eyes.
Boddiker says, "Hardly. Drop the sanctuary, child."
Tonklin's jaw drops.
>
You scratch your chin.
>
Soullslayur says, "Well.. Hes still linked to cleric."
>
Soullslayur says, "I think."
>
Tonklin stands up.
>
Boddiker says, "I will speak what you are, any time, any place."
The voice of Cyrroc says, "Don't, not while the cleric still has a risk."
>
Speaking to Boddiker, you ask, "Do you realize that I have at least 70 years on you?"
Boddiker says, "As I do with all morons.."
Whisker says, "Nawp links down."
You say, "You should think of a better insult."
>
Tonklin gestures at you.
An invisible force guides you.
>
Tonklin chuckles.
>
Tonklin ducks his head.
You chuckle at Tonklin.
Whisker says, "So Ill let you folks get on wit your business."
>
You are now in a defensive stance.
>
Boddiker asks, "And I have about 70 IQ points on YOU, but why quibble?"
>
Boddiker smirks.
>
Whisker says, "Be well."
>
Whisker just went through the wooden gates.
>610 bod
You gesture while summoning the spirits of nature to aid you with the Tangleweed spell...
Your spell is ready.
>
Be at peace my child, there is no need for spells of war in here.
>
The voice of Cyrroc exclaims, "You too!"
>
Tonklin asks, "What is IQ?"
The sense of peace and security begins to wane from the area.
Boddiker says, "A question I have no problem believing you'd need to ask..."
>
The sense of peace and security passes away from the area.
>
Boddiker begins chuckling at Tonklin!
Speaking to Boddiker, you exclaim, "Assertions are useful, aren't they? Look, I'm the king of Solhaven!"
You hold yourself up straighter and inhale, striking your most refined pose in an attempt to look a little bit more lithe and hopefully more elven.
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "It's true because I said it."
>
Tonklin gestures at Boddiker.
Boddiker looks less calm and refreshed than a moment ago.
The force of Tonklin's power warps the air as it surges toward Boddiker!
CS: +354 - TD: +139 + CvA: +2 + d100: +15 == +232
Warding failed!
A nebulous haze shimmers into view around Boddiker, plunging inward to envelop his left arm!
... 20 points of damage!
Portions of musculature disappear, revealing bones beneath!
He is stunned!
... 30 points of damage!
Strike to left forearm strips away skin, exposing bleached bone and useless tendons!
Cloudy tendrils creep outward from Boddiker's left arm before vanishing into his chest.
... 70 points of damage!
Blast hits chest and expands to envelop entire body! Boddiker is no more!
* Boddiker drops dead at your feet!
The deep blue glow leaves Boddiker.
The dim aura fades from around Boddiker.
The light blue glow leaves Boddiker.
The powerful look leaves Boddiker.
* Boddiker was just disintegrated!
Tonklin says, "Don't insult my intelligence."
You adopt an agreeable expression.
Tonklin says, "That was bad."
Tonklin says, "Very bad."
>
Boddiker gives a ghostly chuckle.
Speaking to Tonklin, you say, "I think this might become a theme."
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Whisker.
>
Whisker raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Whisker gestures at Boddiker.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Boddiker, then fades into the body.
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "You are a dolt, as is your boyfriend."
>
Psyryn smirks at Tonklin.
>
Speaking slowly to Tonklin, Bristenn asks, ".. was that really necessary?"
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "It's hardly an insult to state the obvious."
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Bristenn, for him it was. That;'s the point."
>
Speaking to Bristenn, Tonklin says, "It was, his lack of imagination made it so."
>
You lean on your bow, taking a momentary rest.
>
Bristenn takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.
>
Bristenn slowly empties his lungs.
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "The two of them have nothing. So this is how they try to fill the void in their self-esteem."
>
Boddiker gives a ghostly chuckle.
>
You hear someone chuckling.
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "As I said, textbook.."
>
Whisker nods.
Tonklin says, "Boddiker ye can take your seer's philosphy and go screw a rolton."
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "The sad part, is that no matter what they do, or how many times, it won't change the facts."
>
The ghostly voice of Boddiker says, "Which actually, deep in their minds, they know.."
Bristenn slowly says, ".. indepth glance into their residual ids aside, I don't think violence is actually necessary."
>
Bristenn tiredly corrects, "Glances, rather."
>
Whisker raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "Your arrogance is both misguided and misplaced. And your psychology holds as much water as a sieve."
>
Whisker gestures at Boddiker.
Chanting slowly, the sound reminiscent of cogs moving through a large machine, Whisker gazes down at Boddiker with a sense of greater understanding in his eyes. Briefly touching upon Boddiker's forehead, Whisker reignites the spark of life within him.
Boddiker seems slightly different.
You shake your head.
>
Your companion takes up a position of watchful wariness in front of you.
Tonklin agrees with you.
>
Boddiker says, "You've already used the "arorigance misguided misplaced" blah blah line.."
Boddiker smirks at you!
>
Boddiker stands up.
>
Boddiker says, "And the fact still remains... You are nothing."
Speaking to Boddiker, you say, "Yes, but it apparently didn't sink in the first time."
