Commune 'Locate Object' corpse The corpse of Hedegaard is in A Sheltered Alcove You tell Hedegaard in Dwarvish 'Do you wish my assistance? Though I think that what you're doing is wrong, I shall not let that bias your need.' [I think there was a war between Knight and Warmaster at the time.] You tell Hedegaard in Dwarvish 'That is, if your particular path will allow me to, that is.' [Gate to the Tomb of the Ancients.] A Sheltered Alcove The corpse of Hedegaard is lying here. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. (Translucent) Hedegaard is sitting here meditating. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Red Aura) A minor kindred reaches for you! Urist's Knight Avatar flies in. Hedegaard stops meditating and stands up. Sylf nods at you in agreement. Hedegaard says 'Gunna be an interesten one.' You nod at Sylf. You say in Dwarvish 'It's my nature to help, Regent.' Commune 'Resurrection' corpse You call onto Drokmar to grant Hedegaard new life. Hedegaard goes to sleep. Sylf says 'I doubt he will accept your prayers..' You say in Dwarvish 'Though I believe him to be in the wrong.' Sylf says 'As stubborn as he is.' You say in Dwarvish 'Probably not. But the offer is there.' Sylf nods. Sylf looks at you. Sylf smiles happily. Hedegaard wakes and stands up. Hedegaard shakes his head. Hedegaard says 'Nut gunna happen lad.' Hedegaard walks east. Sylf looks at you. You tell Hedegaard in Dwarvish 'The choice is yours. Ya need not accept. Just remember that the hand was offered.' You say in Dwarvish 'I just let him know that while the choice was his, he need not accept.' Sylf nods. You say in Dwarvish 'And that he should remember that the hand was offered.' Sylf says 'It is doubtful that he will..' You say in Dwarvish 'He did say otherwise.' You say in Dwarvish 'But that's not the point.' Sylf says 'I doubt he'll even consider it a favor..' Sylf says 'Let alone remember that the offer was made.' Sylf glows with a white light and his eyes flash with a furious anger. You say in Dwarvish 'Probably not. But one of these days he may open his eyes and even while he tries to undermine everything we've done, we've still attempted to assist him.' Sylf says 'I suppose so..' Sylf says 'He will no doubt come for me again.' You say in Dwarvish 'With luck, that seed will eat at his conscience.' You nod at Sylf. Sylf nods. Sylf says 'I'll need to get to the bank, he was carrying a large sum of coin..' You say in Dwarvish 'If he does, and you slay him, I'll still offer him Drokmar's assistance.' You nod. Sylf nods at you in agreement. A Sheltered Alcove Here, set into the ancient stone, is a small alcove which is adjacent to the large room alongside you. The lid of the coffin before you is unfortunately open, and while you crave the smell of fresh air in this dank, infernal place, you realize the thirst in the eyes of the creature before you is quite a bit stronger. The corpse of Hedegaard is lying here. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (Translucent) (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Red Aura) A minor kindred reaches for you! The corpse of Hedegaard holds: Nothing. An Immortal captures the soul of Hedegaard. Sylf says 'I would appreciate that.' Sylf raises an eyebrow. You shrug. You hear someone chuckle. You say in Dwarvish 'That doesn't feel like my patron...' You frown disapprovingly. Sylf says 'Hm..' You say in Dwarvish 'He would never do that, least not in that way...' Sylf taps his chin. Sylf says 'I do wonder...' You raise an eyebrow at the notion. An Immortal gives you some soap. You say in Dwarvish 'I'm all ears.' You raise an eyebrow at the notion. You are carrying: some soap a small keg a sturdy backpack (Magical) a gyvel potion a scroll titled 'Transient Decapitation' a barrel of milk (Magical) a seashell ring an ancient sceptre adorned with a glowing ember (Magical) (Glowing) (Humming) Urist's Ruin adorned with a jade figurine (Magical) (Glowing) an ancient charm a leather sack (Humming) the Dragon Slayer (Glowing) The Ring of the Sea-Elves Sylf says 'I wonder what interest the gods would have in such a soul..' Urist looks at the soap. 'I think that I'm being told I stink.' l soap A piece of foamy lavender soap is here. Urist uses the soap. You may only use objects that are worn or are on the ground. You frown disapprovingly. You stop using the Shield of Gear adorned with a heartgear. hold soap You can't wear, wield, or hold that. Commune 'Create Spring' A magical spring flows from the ground. Urist puts the soap in the spring, bringing forth a lather. Commune 'Identify' soap Object 'soap' is type trash, material plant. Extra flags: none. Weight is 1, value is 10, level is 1. Sylf turns his eyes away from you. Sylf says 'Please, let me know before you bathe in the future..' You say in Dwarvish 'Just me beard, Regent. Worry not.' Urist takes care to place the later in his beard, rubbing vigorously. About half the hair falls out. Sylf gasps in astonishment. You bat your eyelashes. You say in Dwarvish 'Oh, that's not good.' Sylf says 'I'd wash all of that off, quickly!' The Vanguard says 'Is there not something you need to do Urist?' Urist splashes frantically at the stream to his face. The Vanguard looks up into the sky. Sylf conjures a small column of water from the spring and aims it at your face. cough Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time! A very thin beard is all that remains, sorry remains of the former glory! The corpse of Hedegaard decays into dust. With a faintly audible sigh Hedegaard's spirit appears in the room. Sylf says 'Sorry about that..I felt you needed some help.' Hedegaard's spirit walks east. YOU ARE DROWNING! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! Sylf says 'Then I remembered how you dwarves loathe water.' Sylf frowns. Urist flails frantically! e A large room of coffins (Red Aura) A minor kindred reaches for you!

You feel as though you can breath easily underwater. Sylf says in Drenish 'Asy lseyjs sygew wehlek qeqb i lnekwc buitb..' You frown disapprovingly. Sylf says 'He did not drown.' Sylf says 'He's alive and well, and...strangely cleaner.' You say in Dwarvish 'That ... that wasn't nice.' Look A Sheltered Alcove Here, set into the ancient stone, is a small alcove which is adjacent to the large room alongside you. The lid of the coffin before you is unfortunately open, and while you crave the smell of fresh air in this dank, infernal place, you realize the thirst in the eyes of the creature before you is quite a bit stronger. ( 2) (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Red Aura) A minor kindred reaches for you! The Vanguard scans all around. You say in Dwarvish 'And me beard is in tatters ...' Urist looks as if he's about to sniffle. Probably the dirt was all that held it together. [Just ... wow.] You frown disapprovingly. Sylf says 'Hm, I don't believe that for a moment.' Sylf says 'Urist had one of the finest beards of all the dwarves I've ever known.' You beam delightedly at nothing in particular. HAD. Sylf frowns. But Urist's face falls. 'Had.' Sylf says 'It seems the heavens have it out for the Knights lately..' Sylf says 'It must mean we're doing a good job.' A small bottle appears out of thin air with a *pop*. You say in Dwarvish 'It seems.' You raise an eyebrow at the notion. You say in Dwarvish 'That... ' Sylf says 'Perhaps it will regrow your hair?' Sylf says 'Then again...' Sylf taps his chin. 'It might be a trick. You can make out SUPERGLUE in flashing letters on the side. Urist shrugs as he reaches for the bottle, cautiously uncorking it. Sylf raises an eyebrow. Sylf says 'Superglue..' You say in Dwarvish 'From Brambus?' The bottle jumps out of the hand, applying itself to the dwarven face. All over it. Sylf says 'Hm, perhaps another of his inventions.' Sylf boggles at the concept. Urist screams loudly and starts beating his face with his hand. Sylf says 'A haunted bottle of super glue..now I think I've seen it all..' Hair floats up into the air, collecting in the air in front of Urist. cough Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time! You yell in Dwarvish 'It's possessed!' Urist runs in tiny circles. You have trouble getting your hand off your face again. Sylf boggles at the concept. As the hair-cloud does not seem up to expectations, OTHER hair starts to pop in out of nowhere. The hair cloud grows LARGER! Urist whines, one hand plastered to his face, 'Help me, Regent!' Sylf flicks a ball of flame to and fro between his hands. Sylf throws the ball of flame into the cloud of hair! The hair-cload dodges nimbly! Sylf frowns. Urist throws himself to the ground ... dangerously close to the stream. Finally, the hand comes off the very sticky face. Sylf conjures a large wall of flame between you and the ball of hair. Sylf grins evilly. Sylf says 'That should help.' Urist looks at his now furry palm, 'I do hope so, Regent.' Sylf maintains concentration, keeping the wall of flame burning high. With a wooshing sound, the hair-cloud pops out of existence, then into existence again right in front of Urist! scream ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! Sylf frowns. East A large room of coffins (Red Aura) A minor kindred reaches for you! Urist's Knight Avatar walks in. Sylf yells 'RUN!' [Urist runs through the Tombs, trying to escape.] A descending stairway Urist's Knight Avatar walks in. South Alas, you cannot go that way. It lunges itself at the dwarf's face! [Run away!] A shadowy Well A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. Urist's Knight Avatar walks in. You get hit by a huge cloud of hair! You yell in Dwarvish 'AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' The Vanguard walks in. A shadowy Well A seemingly bottomless well is here, with a large, iron ladle sitting in an old wooden bucket at its top. The area around it is hewn from the same ancient rock, and the well itself is only a gaping hole in the stone, with a small stone ledge attached to a rusted iron chain. If your thirst wasnt so unbearable, you would drink elsewhere. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (Translucent) Sylf is here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. Sylf drinks water from a well. Well. It does stick. It is a LOT of hair. Commune 'Create Spring' A magical spring flows from the ground. Sylf drinks water from a well. It is long, some of it is blonde, other strands are red, brown, dark and a few even.. green? Urist cautiously looks into the stream, a look of horror crossing his face. Sylf raises an eyebrow. You say in Dwarvish 'It's ... a beard of many colors..' Sylf tries to be nice and says, 'It certainly is...colorful. It is a marvelous beard, no doubt. The coloring is a bit .. unusual. You say in Dwarvish 'Aye. It does appear to be so, yes.' Urist shifts his face from side to side. 'Although ... ' Sylf flies closer to you and examines the beard, 'Interesting.. Some few strands have singed edges. You get the Light of Hope from a leather sack. Sylf says 'So many colors, different textures..' Sylf says 'Some curly, some coarse, some fine..' Sylf says 'I might say you've the best of all the beard-world has to offer..' Urist holds the light up toward his face. 'It's gonna be hell to braid.' Sylf says 'Depending on how you tie it, you could have a beard for every occasion.' You say in Dwarvish 'So it would seem.' Urist gives a cautious tug on his locks. Sylf reaches up to touch the beard but withdraws, remembering his manners. Urist rummages around his backpack, looking for a pair of scissors. You say in Dwarvish 'It's fine, Regent.' Sylf says 'Hm..' Urist trims those singed bits of hair. Sylf says 'I think I'll hold off for now..' You nod. Sylf says 'I'm still wary of that hair..' Sylf says 'Seeing as how it was possessed only hours ago.' You say in Dwarvish 'And I'm not. May try to smother me in me sleep.' Sylf says 'I'll give the spirits time to settle in.' You say in Dwarvish 'It did seem otherworldly, didn't it?' You say in Dwarvish 'And all starting with this soap...' Sylf nods enthusiastically, 'Indeed it did.. Urist throws the soap against the wall. You drop some soap. In a strange metalic voice the Vanguard belches out: Danger Sylf Starkholm, Danger! You say in Dwarvish 'If you only knew, Vanguard.' Urist's Knight Avatar says 'But it looks fetching, Sir.' You peer intently at Urist's Knight Avatar. You say in Dwarvish 'Really? Did you not just see what happened?' The Vanguard says 'I believe I do know, Urist.' You frown disapprovingly. The Vanguard says 'Is there not something we should be doing?' Urist peers into the spring again. 'I'm not sure.' A shadowy Well A seemingly bottomless well is here, with a large, iron ladle sitting in an old wooden bucket at its top. The area around it is hewn from the same ancient rock, and the well itself is only a gaping hole in the stone, with a small stone ledge attached to a rusted iron chain. If your thirst wasnt so unbearable, you would drink elsewhere. A piece of foamy lavender soap is here. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (Translucent) (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. You frown disapprovingly. An Immortal forces you to 'l self'. Below a pair of beady brown eyes and a nose ruddy and slightly bulbous, a thick beard as black as a ravens wing is intricately braided into twelve prominent columns while smaller braids interconnect between the major braids. These major braids end in a metal trinket, each of a different metal and showing a symbol of each of the Twelve Great Clans. These braids rattle about from time to time due to a small, white rat that has decided to make its home within the locks. Bracketing the beard are twin hearts, masterfully engraved and with lines radiating from them as if to show that they were glowing, upon the ladybumps-free breastplate. These images are repeated upon his faulds, the same care and attention going into these engravings as upon the breastplate. His legs and feet are similarly armored with cuisses and sabatons, both free from decoration yet no less masterfully crafted. Due to his being half as wide as he is tall, he resembles the rock that he and his brethren are famed for working and living beneath. His legs and bare arms are thicker than the average humans while only reaching to their chest in height. He has travelled quite a lot. Urist is in excellent condition. 100+% Urist is using: <worn on face> a multicolored beard The Vanguard looks up into the sky. Sylf frowns. You say in Dwarvish 'This is going take some getting used to.' You raise an eyebrow at the notion. Sylf says 'At least it wasn't a third arm coming from your head.' Urist tugs his multicolord beard. You say in Dwarvish 'That's a point.' The beard wriggles. Sylf says 'Morlhach..mutated Neggimthrug in that way..' Sylf says 'Perhaps it was a foot?' scream ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! Sylf raises an eyebrow. You say in Dwarvish 'It's wriggling!' Morlhach, pha. Sylf raises an eyebrow. Sylf looks at you. You say in Dwarvish 'I haven't felt this since me rat ran away.' Sylf says 'Hm..' Sylf says 'That is certainly something you don't see everyday..' You say in Dwarvish 'That's an understatement.' You say in Dwarvish 'Never has a dwarf had a beard like this.' You beam delightedly at nothing in particular. Sylf says 'Repai knew of the whereabouts of your rat...sadly the drow is gone..' A long lashed eye appears in the beard for a second and winks at you. Or did you just imagine that. You nod. Sylf shudders at the horror and represses tears. You bat your eyelashes. You say in Dwarvish 'Do I want to know?' Urist cautiously looks at his new beard, carefully digging further inside. You come up with a chicken and tomato sandwich. Urist gasps in astonishment. 'What the ...' Sylf raises an eyebrow. Sylf says 'What is it, Urist?' You say in Dwarvish 'Seems like wherever this came from, took someone's lunch with it.' Urist pulls out the chicken and tomato sandwich. Sylf sniffs the air and gags. Sylf drops to his knees and vomits. It looks very fresh. Urist sniffs it cautiously. Sylf wipes his mouth, 'It looks fresh, but it smells terrible! Sylf says 'To me, anyway..' Rubbish, it smells delicious. Faeries have no taste. Sylf grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong... Sylf says 'I prefer seafood.' Urist gingerly takes a nibble from the corner. Sylf says 'So, the suspense is killing me..' Sylf asks, 'How is it? You say in Dwarvish 'It's ... not bad.' Wooooooosh. Sylf says 'I prefer seafood.' A giantic crab lands on top of the faerie! scream ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!! Express delivery. Sylf glows with a white light and his eyes flash with a furious anger. You yell in Dwarvish 'REGENT!' Seafood. A shadowy Well A seemingly bottomless well is here, with a large, iron ladle sitting in an old wooden bucket at its top. The area around it is hewn from the same ancient rock, and the well itself is only a gaping hole in the stone, with a small stone ledge attached to a rusted iron chain. If your thirst wasnt so unbearable, you would drink elsewhere. A piece of foamy lavender soap is here. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (Red Aura) A Gigantic Crab scuttles about looking for trouble. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. Sylf says 'I'll boil it up nice!' Sylf utters the words, 'yzh ghzaw'. Sylf channels energy into the water. Sylf's jet of steam DISMEMBERS a Gigantic Crab! [Makes short work of the crab.] Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Urist stands aside from the gouts of steam. [Few more rounds of cooking.] Urist speaks with a bit of a lilt, 'Careful regent. I can feel the heat from here.' Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! Sylf's jet of steam *** DEMOLISHES *** a Gigantic Crab! A Gigantic Crab has fled! A Gigantic Crab limps north. Your beard starts to hang down from all the steam. Sylf says 'My dinner is running away!' The Vanguard walks north. You hear something's death cry. The Vanguard walks in. The Vanguard walks north. The Vanguard walks in. Urist's Knight Avatar gets some soap. Urist nods absently as he tries to braid the multiple lengths of hair into some semblance of ... something. Sylf chows down on a freshly steamed crab claw. A shadowy Well A seemingly bottomless well is here, with a large, iron ladle sitting in an old wooden bucket at its top. The area around it is hewn from the same ancient rock, and the well itself is only a gaping hole in the stone, with a small stone ledge attached to a rusted iron chain. If your thirst wasnt so unbearable, you would drink elsewhere. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (Translucent) (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. Sylf says 'This thing is huge!' Sylf peeks out from behind the pincers and smiles. You chuckle politely. Sylf utters the words, 'qcandusahz yaae'. A magic berry suddenly appears. Sylf eats a magic berry. Sylf says 'Ahhh, a little berry sauce to go with it!' You say in Dwarvish 'Enough to feed you for a while, eh?' Sylf nods. Sylf says 'I'll be eating on this until it spoils!' Sylf says 'Thank you, whatever you are that lurks in the ether!' Sylf picks at a far corner of the claw with his staff, extracting a large lump of meat. Sylf stuffs his face and smiles at you, 'Would you like some? Sylf says 'There's plenty to go around.' You say in Dwarvish 'It lives in the water. Gives me nightmares just thinking about it. Thanks, but no.' Sylf shrugs helplessly. An explosion of crab shell and meat comes flying out of the claw as Sylf dives in head first. Urist ducks behind the well. Commune 'Holy Armor' The Commander's Aegis begins to shimmer with Drokmar's power! You are now resistant to disease. 'Ooooooh, yeah!', can be heard from deep within the shell as Sylf continues his gluttonous feast. You say in Dwarvish 'Yer gonna come out looking like a winged melon, Regent.' After a few hours, Sylf returns, nearly doubled in size and breathing heavily. Sylf says 'Ohhh, goodness..' Sylf says 'Talk about a food coma...' Sylf says 'I...think...I'll...' Sylf goes to sleep. You say in Dwarvish 'Poor Regent.' You ponder the question. You get an Emblazoned Surcoat from a leather sack. Urist places the surcoat on Sylf. You give an Emblazoned Surcoat to Sylf. Urist walks to the far end of the alcove, keeping watch, idly running his fingers through his new beard. [KNIGHT]: 'Inductee Sargorth has joined the fray.' A shadowy Well A seemingly bottomless well is here, with a large, iron ladle sitting in an old wooden bucket at its top. The area around it is hewn from the same ancient rock, and the well itself is only a gaping hole in the stone, with a small stone ledge attached to a rusted iron chain. If your thirst wasnt so unbearable, you would drink elsewhere. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. (White Aura) Sylf is sleeping here. (Charmed) (White Aura) Urist's Knight Avatar stands here. Sylf wakes and stands up. Sylf rubs his eyes and belches. Sylf drinks water from a magical spring. [SIGIL] (Sigil) Urist: 'Greetings, Sargorth.' Sylf says 'Where...am I?' [Hope](Veteran) Sargorth: 'Hello.' A squire rides by yelling, "Let it be known Sir Sylf, righteous Knight of the Crown, walks the lands. Tremble in fear, servants of Darkness!" You say in Dwarvish 'Yer in the tombs, Regent. You looked cold, so I gave you my surcoat to use as a blanket.' Sylf smiles happily. sylf The faerie's stomach is round and full... Fat faeries? Who's ever heard of that. Sylf gives you an Emblazoned Surcoat. You nod. You put an Emblazoned Surcoat in a leather sack. Sylf thanks you heartily. Sylf says 'I'll burn it off in no time..' Sylf lets out a short, squeaky laugh. Sylf flutters his wings in a spectacle of magic and raw energy. You say in Dwarvish 'Now that you're conscious again.' You chuckle politely. You say in Dwarvish 'No doubt.' Sylf flutters his wings, but can't seem to stay airborne. Sylf says 'Hm, that's not good!' *PLOP* the fae lands back on the ground. You say in Dwarvish 'You may have to ride your Vanguard, Sir.' Sylf begins doing jumping jacks, 'One, two, three...four...five...........six................... Sylf collapses down on to his butt. Urist quirks an eyebrow. 'You alright?' Sylf hiccups. Sylf belches and a piece of crab meat comes out of his mouth and flops onto the floor. Sylf heaves, 'I think I'll be fine..I just need a little time. Eeeewww. You say in Dwarvish 'That ... how in the name of Drokmar did that happen? It's nearly bigger than you are!' Sylf says 'I guess I can't help myself when it comes to seafood..' Sylf says 'Lady Argarthel was the same way..' Sylf sheds a single tear. 'Lady Argarthel.. Urist does nothing other than nod. Sylf begins jogging in place. Sylf says 'I need to get back into shape quickly..' Sylf says 'Hm, actually..' Sylf says 'Pardon me a moment..' You nod. Sylf chuckles, 'Nature calls. The Vanguard looks up into the sky. cough Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time! North The bottom of a stairway (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. Urist's Knight Avatar walks in. whistle You whistle appreciatively. You yell in Dwarvish 'Are ya decent, Sir?' Sylf yells 'Indeed, thank you!' South A shadowy Well (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here. A large well with a wooden bucket has been built here. (White Aura) Sylf is here. (Charmed) (White Aura) A giant figure wholly covered in incandescent armor. Urist's Knight Avatar walks in. You nod. Sylf wipes the sweat from his brow and continues jogging. Sylf flutters his wings in a spectacle of magic and raw energy. You ponder the question. Sylf tries to take to the air and is successful, but can only float a few inches off the ground. Commune 'Esuna' sy You cure Sylf of his ailments. Sylf does not seem to be affected. Sylf says 'I'm back!' Sylf says 'Almost..' DAMN! You snap your fingers. Commune 'Vitalize' sy You lost your concentration. You have become better at vitalize! Commune 'Vitalize' sy You vitalize Sylf's metabolism. Sylf seems to be more energetic. You beam delightedly at nothing in particular. Sylf thanks you heartily. Sylf says 'That should certainly help!' Sylf continues jogging in place, sweat continues to pour from his face. Sylf seems to be slowly shrinking before your eyes, the fat is melting away! Sylf's hunger wounds him. Urist kicks a bit of crab behind the well, whistling innocently. Sylf turns his eye to the well, 'What was that? cough Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time! You say in Dwarvish 'Nothing. Nothing at all.' Sylf's hunger mauls him. 'Very well then.' says Sylf as he continues to jog in place. Urist slides it further back with his foot nonchalantly. Sylf's hunger devastates him! You heal Sylf. Sylf says 'Hm, it might be time for a healthy snack..' Sylf utters the words, 'qcandusahz yaae'. A magic meal suddenly appears. You feel a divine presence guide you to new found experiences! You earn 6 rp points! Sylf utters the words, 'qcandusahz yaae'. A magic berry suddenly appears. Sylf says 'Ahh, a berry!' Sylf eats a magic berry. A Gigantic Crab arrives from a puff of smoke. You say in Dwarvish 'Much heal... shit.' Sylf raises an eyebrow. It looks... delicious. Sylf says 'It DOES look delicious...' Sylf begins to drool at the thought. You say in Dwarvish 'Regent?' Sylf clears his throat, 'Yes, Sir Urist? You say in Dwarvish 'Please don't make me do anything rash.' Sylf smiles as his eyes drift back toward the crab, 'Rash? Sylf coughs loudly. Sylf's thirst mauls him. Sylf drinks water from a magical spring. You say in Dwarvish 'With all due respect, like plop a bucket over you.' Sylf says 'Hm..' Sylf says 'That would be rude..' An Immortal has created a slime bucket! Sylf looks at the crab, 'Are you as tasty as your cousin was? Sylf clenches and twists his tiny fists around the shaft of his staff in frustration. An Immortal gives you a slime bucket. Sylf says 'I don't like where this is going.' You say in Dwarvish 'Yes. But watching the Regent of the Knights plummet head first into a crab with reckless abandon ... gives the wrong image.'

But you just feasted enough to feed a family of badgers for a year.' Sylf belches, 'And it was...DELICIOUS! You say in Dwarvish 'I'm sure it was, sir.' Sylf says 'Maybe I can freeze some for a snack later..' Sylf says 'Or, I could take some to mother to feed the men at the Castle.' You say in Dwarvish 'Ah, a much more appropriate measure.' Sylf grins evilly at a Gigantic Crab. If it ever arrives there... Sylf raises an eyebrow. Sylf says 'How rude!' Sylf utters the words, 'uquqrz'. Sylf conjures a magical bolt.

Sylf says 'Damnable crabs, always running away.' The Vanguard walks north. You hear something's death cry. You say in Dwarvish 'Oh, boy.' n The bottom of a stairway The corpse of a Gigantic Crab is lying here. (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here.

A magical spring flows from the ground. The bottom of a stairway You have reached the bottom of the stairwell, and up ahead you can see only whispering gloom. To your south, you can hear the sounds of dripping water quite loudly. West of you lies yet another corridor hewed from the ancient stone. ( 2) (Magical) A magical spring flows from the ground here.

I've been here with you the entire time!' Sylf taps his chin. 'Oh, yes...that's right. The corpse of a Gigantic Crab decays into dust. Sylf apologizes to you and begs for forgiveness. Urist waves it off. The Vanguard looks around and whistles innocently. Sylf clenches and twists his tiny fists around the shaft of his staff in frustration. Urist looks slowly to the Vanguard. Sylf bonks the Vanguard upside the head with the butt of his staff. Sylf says 'You're supposed to protect me, not rat me out!' Urist looks to the Avatar. 'Don't you dare think about doing anything like that to me.' You grant Sylf Drokmar's favor. Sylf thanks you heartily. Sylf says 'I'd best get this to the Castle. Will you come along?'

You say in Dwarvish 'I suppose here is as good a place as any.' Sylfs mother says 'There's no need to be so loud! The Chapel You enter through a great archway into a quiet, softly lit chamber. Light flickers across the walls as a gentle draft wafts through the room, blowing over the tops of hundreds of candles. Pews line each side of the room where masses can gather for prayer or sermon.

Sylf says 'I got you some delicious crab meat to prepare for the men, mother.' Sylfs mother grins, 'Ooooh goodness. You know how I love crab meat! Sargorth walks in. Sargorth bows deeply. Sylf whispers to you, 'That must be where I get it from.. Urist hopes vehemently that another episode like in the tombs doesn't happen again. Sylfs mother asks 'What was that son?

Sylf says 'Hold the line, Urist..' Sylf lets out a short, squeaky laugh. Urist quickly regains his composure. You say in Dwarvish 'Aye, sir.' Sylfs mother looks at Sargorth, 'And who is this? Sylf says 'It is our newest recruit, Sargorth.' The Vanguard says 'Is there not something you need to do Urist?' Sylf says 'Sargorth, this is my mother, Lillie.' Sargorth says 'I am Sargorth!' Sylfs mother smiles at Sargorth. Sargorth says 'A pleasure to meet you.' You say in Dwarvish 'I'm trying, Vanguard. Though I'm not sure that these goggles will fit over my beard anymore.' Sylfs mother chuckles, 'The pleasure is all mine. Sargorth thanks you heartily. Sylfs mother takes the crab meat and says, 'I'd best get this to the kitchen.

You judge that it is in perfect condition. Sylf says 'In a Rune Vault in the Underdark.' Sylf looks at you. Sylf says 'You and I both..' Sylf lets out a short, squeaky laugh. You chuckle politely. You say in Dwarvish 'But found her you did.' You beam delightedly at nothing in particular. Sylf nods. Sylf says 'With the help of Laelanis, oddly enough.' Sylf looks into the sky, 'Would you look at the time..I fear I must be going. Sylf takes a deep breath and sighs. Sylf says 'It has been an enjoyable experience with you today, Urist.' Sylf smiles at you. Sylf says 'I do hope your beard fits well in the end.' You say in Dwarvish 'It's been ... interesting, sir.' Sargorth chuckles politely. Sylf stands at attention and gives a brisk salute. Sylf says 'Godspeed, men.' You stand at attention, and give a brisk salute. Sargorth proffers a brisk salute to Sylf.
