Jaspurr takes two knees in solemn humility.

You sheath your weapon.

Jaspurr opens his arms.

You pray 'I am prone before you, My Lord. If you have more questions of me or my decision, I am here, ready to take what may come.'

The sky is getting cloudy.

Best to meet your new pupil and inform him that his behavior will reflect right back on yourself.

Jaspurr closes his arms and nods slowly and humbly.

[GLADIATOR] (Blademaster) Jaspurr: 'Traexin, come to me, please.'

[WARMASTER] (Inductee) Traexin: 'where ye be?'

[GLADIATOR] (Blademaster) Jaspurr: 'In the Camp to which you now belong.'

*Waiting for Traexin*

Traexin rides in.

A large mammoth walks in.

A large spotted leopard walks in.

Traexin stands at attenion and gives you a brisk salute.

You raise your hand in salute to Traexin.

You beckon for Traexin to follow -- sure hope they do!

Traexin now follows you.

*Showing Traexin around the Warmaster Cabal*

The Tribal Council

Guards stand to either side of the large doors as you enter the room. A

large table sits in the center of the room with chairs littered around it.

Maps of the realms cover the walls with smaller maps stacked in the center

of the table. Fruit bowls, plates of cheese, and goblets are placed at

intervals around the table with documents scattered around them. A heavy

door is directly to the north.

[Exits: north (south)]

(Charmed) A large spotted leopard sits here.

(Charmed) A large, shaggy mammoth is here.

(OUTCAST) Traexin is here, sitting astride a large mammoth.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' Now, what I am about to say may come off as a lecture.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' It is intended to.

Traexin nods.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you may think you know all of what I will say.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you may, but you must internalize it.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' to know not to lower your hands in a boxing match is not the same as never doing it.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' You have been inducted to the Camp, as you have much promise.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' but as you know, you carry much baggage. That is not the topic of this conversation.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' the topic of this conversation is the attitude and the behavior of a Warmaster.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' particularly one attached to my name.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' Soon I will be gone, and as I have left no children, much of what will be remembered of me will come of you.

Traexin raises an eyebrow.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' do you understand so far?

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' have you not yet noticed what the people call you?

Traexin says 'II've NOoT heaRd..'

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' You are Traexin the Attendant of Jaspurr, Grunt of the Camp.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' as such, you are my namesake, until you carve a new name of your own.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' more than that, you shall live up the second portion of your title.

Traexin nods.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' all that is ordered by those who are ranked above you, you shall do.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' even one ranked equally.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' Now, your behavior.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' things of your past that were considered:

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you have been deadly before.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' then you have been a deserter.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' then you have been a mind-changer.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' then you have been called complacent.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' then you have been called a hoarder.

Jaspurr points to Traexin’s fine outfit.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' all considered.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must shatter ALL this baggage.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you MUST be valiant, you must be brave and courageous, as all Warmasters...

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' but more than any other.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you MUST show dedication.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you MUST show honor and perseverance.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must live up to MY title.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must be RELENTLESS.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must never fight a foe without warning.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must never take from a corpse you did not make.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must always, always be at your best.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must not show disrespect to ANY foe.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' strong and brave.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' do you understand thus far?

Traexin says 'Ii unnndeRssTaNnD..'

You nod.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must be an EXAMPLE, as you are my namesake.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must offer your opinion on all issues regarding Warmaster, but you must be humble.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must never offend your brothers, but you must COMAND their respect.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must speak sternly and with little emotion.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you may show weakness, but you must always show growth.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must never be negative, never doubt yourself, never doubt your brothers, and never offer a discouraging word.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' have you ever heard such from me?

Traexin says 'NEhvehr..'

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' and you never will, even on my dying day.

Jaspurr looks down low and then raises his head.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I feel like this day shall come sooner than the rest know.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must not say a word about that.

Jaspurr removes his undercoat, showing a DISGUSTING wound.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' it will not heal.

Traexin nods with a stern expression.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I have tried all herbs.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I have tried meditation.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I have heard of an art of bloodletting for purification.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I have tried it.

Jaspurr shows smaller puncture wounds all about his body.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' this wound will not heal.

A bit of puss and blood drips from Jaspurr's gaping wound.

Traexin speaks in a hard tone, 'The cause?

Jaspurr wraps his wound and places his undercoat on once more.

Jaspurr smiles weakly.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' this life.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' my wound is not like yours, for I accept it as part of me.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I shall fight it as long as I can.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must be prepared for my passing.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I want you to take care of my burial and my ceremony.

Traexin purses his lips tightly.

You nod.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I wish to be wrapped in our banner.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I wish for all to see my body.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I wish to be paraded through the Hamlet.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' and I wish to be set off into the sea near the Hamlet.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you, the greatest archer, shall shoot an arrow.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' this arrow I shall fletch soon enough.

Jaspurr smiles weakly.

The sky is getting cloudy.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you will shoot it.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' and you had better not miss.

You chuckle politely.

Traexin shows a slight smile.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' It will put my body to flame, and my soul to rest.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' then you are to constantly live as example of a Warmaster and a Gladiator.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' until your dying day.

You look at Traexin.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you've a very fancy outfit, and you will lose it.

Traexin nods.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' without the use of magic or our secret abilities, life will be very difficult.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must NOT let that deter you.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must NOT let that suit rule you, as many speculate it does.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must come back and FIGHT!

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you must be RELENTLESS as I have been.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' now.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' what questions have you of me?

Traexin says 'NonnEh at thiisSz tiimMe.'

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' ask them as time passes.

Traexin nods.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' never forget, the goal of a Warmaster is not to eradicate Savants.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' although that comes.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' the goal must be to improve yourself beyond what you could ever imagine.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' this goal will never be completed, as it is something you must always seek.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' it is chasing a sunray.

Jaspurr smiles weakly.

Traexin gives you A steak of the corpse of an ice behemoth.

Traexin gives you A steak of the corpse of an ice behemoth.

You shake your head.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' it is best to hunger a bit.

You are starving.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' You are a blade. You must be tempered by FIRE.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' do not place yourself under the heat too long, chasing something that will never come.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' take time to rest and cool and harden.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' and you shall come back sharper…

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' more deadly than ever.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' even if you come back without a bit of weaponry.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I have nearly single-handedly conquered all these lands from Savant.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' when I started, they backed us up to the Ford. Now it is they are backed to their Tower.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you are to keep the way I have left it when I am gone.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' now, I will scroll to the others that you are to do their bidding until enough time has passed.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' I am done.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' you are dismissed.

Traexin stands from the cherrywood chair.

Traexin stands at attenion and gives you a brisk salute.

You raise your hand in salute to Traexin.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' STRENGTH, HONOR, SELF-RELIANCE!

Traexin bows before you.

Chieftain's Chamber

[Exits: down]

A large table is here littered with maps.

The Warmaster Chieftain stands here glaring at you with bloodshot eyes.

You look at The Warmaster Chieftain.

A tall powerful man, clad with layered armor of metal and leather. A

mane of hair flows freely about his head giving him a look of a lion, tamed

yet still full of anger and fury. His bloodshot eyes glare in your

direction as the mouth slowly chews some herbal extract.

The Chieftain is in excellent condition.

the Chieftain is using:

Chieftain's Chamber

Two of the chieftains personal guards stand outside the door leading into

this small room. Inside a simple wood desk sits against a wall off to the

side. It is covered with papers, maps, and old food. Bookcases and shelves

line the walls all filled with books and personal objects. Set on the wall

above the desk is a huge shield with a battleaxe and great sword crossed

behind it. A simple trapdoor leads back down.

[Exits: down]

A large table is here littered with maps.

The Warmaster Chieftain stands here glaring at you with bloodshot eyes.

You bow before him.

Jaspurr sits at the table.

Jaspurr examines the maps.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' we have conquered much.

You cough.

Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time!

Jaspurr smiles weakly.

The Chieftain nods sternly to Jaspurr, without expression.

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' what do you think of this Traexin?

The chieftain considers Jaspurr's question, shrugs a bit, and responds speaking slowly, 'Only time will tell. For your name's sake, I hope he does well.'

Jaspurr utters in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, ' agreed.

The Chieftain salutes Jaspurr.

You raise your hand in salute to the Chieftain.
