Thren's Ordeal (Part 2)

[Elrozin]

Zelabryn says 'LaZSst thinNng We nnEhed isSz Two of me...'

You say 'I think I'd much rather have a drink. Smoking just isn't going to cut it'

Drenos nods.

Thren says 'What drink would I like?'

Zelabryn gives you a bottle of ancient vintage wine.

Drenos nods at Zelabryn.

Zelabryn says 'THhere yoUh go rIigHt theRe.'

Zuranok tells you 'Wut going on!!!'

Zelabryn says 'Ehxcellehnt vInTagE...'

Drenos says 'A fine one, that.'

Thren says 'No, I don't think I like framboise that much.'

Zuranok tells you 'Yer here talkin ta us be not heres!'

You say 'I think we'd like, well, I'd like. Icewine'

Zelabryn says 'OOohh tHhaht ffIery stuff...'

Zelabryn says 'Iim Nnot ghoOoiiNG nNnear a ffIielD aof GiiantZsz for ZszOome ffrIgid wiNne..'

Thren says 'Icewine!'

Thren says 'I love icewine!'

Thren says 'Do I?'

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Zelabryn says 'You juhHZszt ZSsaiid youh diId..'

You say 'Of course we do, I mean, I do'

Zelabryn hiccups.

Drenos tries to determine which Thren to give over a canteen.

You shrug.

Zelabryn says 'Ii have an idea..'

You peer intently at Zelabryn.

Zelabryn says 'Youh ready foR my idea?'

Drenos says 'The two Thren's duel to see which will remain in this land, under that name?'

Thren says 'Ice wine, ice wine, where'd I drop my icewine.'

Zelabryn says 'I asssure yOoUh IiT is a truhly vbRiIlliianNnT plann.'

Thren will be right back!

Zelabryn says 'Nothhing sso vbraosh AZsz thHaoT..'

Zelabryn says 'We dRiinnnk tiil we pAssszs OuhHt.'

Drenos sighs.

You say 'With all this going on, I don't ever think I'll be ready. Go ahead'

Drenos straightens his mismatched armors as though they were a finely tailored suit.

You say 'Duel? I'm not dueling myself. Why would I fight....myself?'

Zelabryn says 'BecaussEh yOUhr a moouhhtHhy alcoHholiic.'

Thren says 'Yes, that would be really stupid.'

Zelabryn giggles.

Thren looks around with awe and says 'Now where'd I go?'

Zelabryn straightens his hair.

Zelabryn says 'YoUr right hHerEh.'

Drenos frowns, 'Well, you aren't going to let yourself wander around unaccounted for, are you?'

Thren exclaims 'There I am!'

Drenos says 'What if you start writing missives that you don't agree with?'

Anume appears right behind you.

You say 'How can I write something I don't agree with?'

Drenos winces and backs away quickly.

Thren says 'Did you see that?!' * Yes I saw that, but Thren doesn't have eyes in back of his head*

Thren drops an icy pool.

Thren asks 'What?'

Thren says 'Ice wine for everyone!'

Drenos says 'You...looked like someone else for a moment.'

Zelabryn says 'WEll ii szsuhhpPoOosse..'

Thren appears oblivous to what is behind him.

Zelabryn says 'Only To szsavEh my wiInEh yOuhH know..'

Thren says 'No, I just saw Anume!'

Thren shudders at the horror and represses tears.

You say 'Did I?'

Zelabryn gasps as the icy liquid fills his gullet.

Zelabryn says 'OHhoohHaohhOo'

Malchaeius cackles gleefully.

Zelabryn says 'ThHat iIsSs Zszomeh szseriIouhHszs BrEW.'

Thren blinks.

Drenos loudly whispers to Threns, 'I'm sure the icewine will help.'

Thren turns and looks behind himself only to turn back and shrug.

Thren nods.

Drenos sighs.

Zelabryn says 'Well...'

You say 'Nothing there'

You drink icewine from an icy pool.

You feel drunk.

You are full.

Thren walks in.

You say 'And you GuysSs THiInck iI'm ghoiIngh zjrahhzy'

*HIC*

You drink icewine from an icy pool.

You feel drunk.

You are full.

Thren walks in.

Drenos blinks innocently.

You say 'II ThinK you'rEh lossing iT'

Zelabryn examines the pool with one drunken eye, closing the other.

Thren says 'Losing what?'

Zelabryn says 'Ii do noot bELiEhvE I carE muchh foor ThhIisSz.'

Thren says 'Whatever' then hiccups 'They lost'

You shrug.

Thren says 'Lost what?'

Drenos looks back to the gore momentarily before returning his eyes to the portal.

You say 'Well, I don't really know'

Drenos mumbles, 'Who...lost what?'

Zelabryn says 'I THIinck I am ghoInG to sSsail off iinTo thHe ssunszset.'

Drenos says 'Oh, of course.'

Thren blinks slowly...

Drenos nods.

Thren asks 'Should I know?'

Thren says 'I should write a scroll for this young madman.'

Thren beams broadly at nothing in particular.

You say 'We're going to right a scroll for Drenos?'

Drenos looks at Zelabryn.

Zelabryn hiccups.

You say 'I mean, I'm going to?'

Drenos looks at you.

Thren says 'So some drow female shows up and tortures him to death slowly!'

Thren says 'Ahem.'

Zelabryn says 'Ii behliEhve I am THheh mad man...'

Thren says 'Never mind that.'

Zelabryn says 'DrEhnoss iszs obviously complehtely sSsanE..'

You say 'How do we, I, know?'

Drenos frowns.

Zelabryn says 'After aLl, HhE nEhveR ssaw muhHssHhRoOmszs..'

Zelabryn says 'That'ZSs jjuhHsT crazy taLk...'

Thren says 'Which mushrooms?'

Zelabryn hiccups.

It starts to rain frogs.

Zelabryn says 'The bUtTehrED yellow aoneZsz thaT ah cloUhd rawiNEd oOonnn uhHszs...'

Drenos says 'I did, however, see minatures of myself falling from the sky and exploding.'

Thren says 'No, the potatoes were buttered.'

Thren counts on his fingers 'Or taters, or Thren, or Zelabryns, or spiders, or drow assassin

Thren looks at the frogs.

Drenos mutters about the frog rain and pulls his poncho over himself, 'I'm sure this would have helped one of you. 11,000 coins.'

Thren says 'I never cared for frogs much.'

Thren gives Drenos some gold.

Zelabryn says 'OOoh, wEhlL THat MmMakEhZsz mMucjh MooReh ssEnZszEh..'

Drenos stops using a chameleon poncho.

Zelabryn says 'WHhoo bUhTTEhrsSs mMusSzhroaoMs anNnyway.'

Drenos gives you a chameleon poncho.

Drenos nods.

You boggle at the concept.

Drenos says 'Wait, was that the right Thren?'

Drenos sighs.

Thren says 'Oh thank you, but I didn't pay for this.'

You say 'I'm me, I swear'

Drenos says 'Yes you, or he, or one of you did.'

Drenos rifles through his things.

You say 'One of me?'

Drenos gets a bear-skin cloak from a sturdy backpack.

Zelabryn eyes the framboise bottle.

Thren says 'I didn't did we? I?'

Drenos wears a bear-skin cloak about his body.

Thren looks at Thren and squints his eyes.

Thren squints his eyes, looking back.

Drenos tries to pull the cloak over his frame to protect the frogs, but to obviously lesser effect.

Thren says 'Must be the wine talking'.

Thren giggles which turns into fits of laughter.

Thren says 'Does anyone like frogs? I hear some people like them.'

Drenos shrugs, 'You paid for the poncho, and I never let a customer walk away without his purchase.'

Thren says 'I'd like... ice cream!'

It starts to rain icecream. Oh wow... sticky.

You say 'Of course we'd, I, love icecream!'

Thren says 'Urg, not that much!'

Zelabryn grumbles as he pours framboise through his hair trying to get out the sticky mess.

Drenos frowns, 'Not nearly as exciting as I would have imagined it.'

Thren pulls himself out of a mound of icecream and begins giggling while shivering.

Zelabryn says 'YeZsz. i plAhn on ZSsahhliing off into tHe ZszunsSzet ahhcrosssSs a ZSsea of IicecreAhm.'

Drenos blinks innocently.

Thren exclaims 'You need a boat!'

Drenos looks at you.

Zelabryn says 'Whoszs coming WiTh me?'

Another cloud appears overhead, growling.

Thren looks up.

Zelabryn shambles into his canoe.

Zelabryn says 'Well.'

Thren says 'Do cloads usually growl?'

Thren looks up, too.

Zelabryn says 'ThhaT Doess Nnaot look pRaoMiisInNng.'

You say 'No, but then again, I don't normally talk to myself either'

Zelabryn pulls his cloak over his head.

You say 'Or do I?'

A rather long tail sticks out of the cloud.

Drenos has wandered from his mind.

Drenos has snapped out of his trance.

Drenos mutters something quietly to himself.

Thren says 'I'm not sure.'

Zelabryn says 'Oh bOoThEhr.'

Zelabryn says 'SEeh.'

Drenos says 'What?'

Thren says 'Clouds with tails. How... interesting.'

Thren boggles as he looks up and says 'Though, I don't remember clouds having tails....'

Zelabryn says 'I'vEh gaot naothhiingh..'

Zelabryn says 'II blawme ThisSz ooNn elvesSz..'

Thren exclaims 'Minotaur magic!'

Drenos steps out of the shadows.

Amaruil appears in a cloud of smoke.

Amaruil frowns deeply.

Amaruil appears in a cloud of smoke.

Amaruil frowns deeply.

You peer around yourself intently.

Drenos steps out of the shadows.

Drenos shudders at the horror and represses tears.

Zelabryn says 'EHhmm..'

You stand up.

Drenos says 'I do not think I want to...'

Drenos says 'Oh, good.'

Zelabryn says 'YouhH kNow..'

Humming to himself, Thren obviously appears in deep thought about something.

Zelabryn says 'YoUh Two, errr.. three.. '

Zelabryn says 'Youh caUZsze sSsome haavozj..'

Drenos says 'I doubt you would have liked his remaining.'

It starts to rain....

Zelabryn says 'II WahZSs fine tIl youhh sHhoWed up tHren..'

Zelabryn says 'WaIiT..'

Zelabryn says 'SomeThing iszs wrong..'

Zelabryn says 'This iZsz normal rain.'

You peer intently at Zelabryn.

Drenos steps out of the shadows.

Drenos says 'Now, now something is wrong?'

Zelabryn screams in terror as he covers himself in his cloak.

Zelabryn says 'ObvioouZSsly!'

WINTERWOLVES!

Zelabryn says 'It iiZsz rawIining raiIn..'

Someone wields a thin handled spear.

Someone wields a spider blade in his off-hand.

Drenos steps out of the shadows.

A Male Winterwolf's freezing bite MUTILATES Drenos!

You gasp in astonishment.

Drenos groans loudly.

Zelabryn begins to paddle furiously.

Drenos looks at a Male Winterwolf.

You yell 'Yee!'

Drenos says 'Down.'

Drenos looks at a Male Winterwolf.

Thren walks right up to the Winterwolf and pats it on its head, giggling.

Thren says 'I don't think this is usually part of the rain is it?'

Drenos says 'It is...docile?'

Zelabryn says 'I hoopeh not..'

You say 'Isn't it?'

You say 'Winterwolves are just par for the course!'

Drenos looks at a Male Winterwolf.

You sing 'wait, aren't they?'

You say 'Oh, who knows anymore'

You drink icewine from an icy pool.

You feel drunk.

*HIC*

You drink icewine from an icy pool.

You feel drunk.

A glowing blue ball of light

Blue light glows all around you as a white center beckons you toward the

entrance to the portal. A dull humming sound is heard all around you as

resident creatures shriek at you in anger and frustration. as you

edge closer, time begins to rift and rip apart ..tearing at you body and

your soul. You feel like that you are burning up. Dying .... forever

dying....

An icy pool is here, almost purple in color.

An IMPORTANT magical sign floats here.

Thren the Master Bard is here.

A Male winterwolf prowls the snowy wastes of desolation.

You hear a Male Winterwolf's death cry.

Thren gets 424 gold coins from the corpse of a Male Winterwolf.

Zelabryn says 'WeLl ThhiZSs iiszs juhhst szsiiLly.'

You say 'Uhmmm, I'm just as strong as I always was'

You shrug.

You draw a tarot card it reveals [ Hanged Man ].

Luck has abandoned you...

You say 'Unlucky as ever as well'

Zelabryn looks at you.

Drenos quietly cuts a piece of fur from the corpse, stuffing it in his pouch.

Thren draws a tarot card and reveals [ Tower ] to you.

You shall stand tall and face your difficulties...

Thren shrugs helplessly.

Thren says 'I think I like tower more.'

Zelabryn now follows you.

You chuckle politely.

Thren looks at you.

Zelabryn says 'Naow That wEh are done with aLl Theh madnEhsSzsSs.'

Zelabryn coughs loudly.

Thren says 'Do I?'

You sing 'I'm not sure'

Zelabryn says 'PerhHaPZsz yaoUh would cjonnnsiIder WriITiiNng Thhat sSzcroLL?'

Zelabryn says 'ThisSz is oBvIOusly The wOrck Of femalesSz.'

Hermie tells you 'Reall need yas aid.'

Zelabryn hiccups.

Drenos says 'There are still...two Thren.'

Thren says 'Yes, I think I should write that scroll so that drow female shows up and kills him in a nasty messy way.'

Thren says 'Ahem.'

Thren says 'Never mind that.'

Zelabryn says 'YoUhr jUsSsT DrUnck. sSzeeing douhHBle.'

Drenos says 'What drow female is coming, and to kill whom?'

You say 'But, I started drinking AFTER I saw myself'

Zelabryn says 'ObviouhhsSzly meh.'

Thren says 'Did I?'

You say 'Didn't I?'

Zelabryn says 'I am THEh faThher of a rEhbehllionnn.'

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Thren says 'I'm not sure.'

You say 'Nor am I'

Drenos looks at Zelabryn.

Zelabryn says 'ThHreN REfuhsehd Too ZSsehnnd OoUht my recruhhiTmENnt leTtEr.'

Drenos says 'Oh, are you?'

Zelabryn says 'ThIsSs IiZsz OobviiOuhhsSzly aa ploOoT fRom maoTron maoTHher ZiThHeR to maake me tHhiink I HAve ghOone mAd.'

Zelabryn says 'WEhLl I Tehll yoUh it diID naoT wOorK.'

Thren has created some cyan leaves!

Thren gives some cyan leaves to Zelabryn.

Zelabryn winces in agony.

Zelabryn shrugs as he packs the leaf into his pipe

Zelabryn lights some cyan leaves and smokes it.

Zelabryn starts to move in slow motion.

You say 'If I remember, I refused to send out that letter because you wanted me to do it in my name'

Drenos seems to return to his senses a bit, 'When things are less...volitale'

Drenos says 'Let us speak of your rebellion.'

Drenos nods.

Drenos offers a very slight smile, eyes still searching the area.

Zelabryn says 'NoOo, jussT nNnaot iNn MY nnnamE.'

You say 'But MY name would be attached'

You say 'Or his name'

You say 'Or our name'

[Elrozin]

Zelabryn says 'Only as the poor bastard....'

Zelabryn says 'Ehm scribe who wrote it.'

Thren walks in.

You chuckle politely.

Zelabryn stares downward obviously embarassed at the slip of his tongue.

Thren says 'I'd just say the other Thren wrote it.'

Thren nods.

Zelabryn says 'See.'

You say 'Yeah, and I'm sure the city would just leave the poor scribe alone'

Zelabryn says 'You obviously know what your talking about.'

Drenos says 'A reminder of my original statement. Letting yourself wander about like this is dangerous.'

You say 'Letting myself? I am me'

Drenos looks at you.

Drenos says 'But are you he?'

Zelabryn says 'Ah, and my clanmaster.'

You say 'How can I not be?'

Zelabryn says 'Sends me to find an arch-mage in winter'

Zelabryn chuckles politely.

Zelabryn says 'Truly mad these times.'

Drenos says 'I'm sure we can see.'

You frown disapprovingly.

Drenos taps his chin, thoughtful.

Hermie tells you 'Need yas ta sneak passed dem guys en steal keys from red determinant.'

Drenos says 'If you cut you, does it hurn him?'

You tell Hermie 'I would, but the trouble is, which me do you want?'

Zelabryn says 'I am sure if you cut Thren it will hurt Thren.'

You sing 'exactly'

Drenos looks to Zelabryn, 'Of course, a normal backpack, or a quiver?'

Hermie tells you 'You.'

Hermie tells you 'Not this one here.'

Drenos says 'There is, of course, only one way to know.'

Thren turns swiftly upon....himself and states 'Hey! Wait a min, where is that travel sack I stole from me?'

Zelabryn says 'So thren.'

Zelabryn says 'You seem to have changed your mind about that scroll haven't you.'

You peer intently at Zelabryn.

Zelabryn says 'You know, you can attatch my name to it.'

Zelabryn says 'I have grown in power to a point where I am comfortable.'

Drenos sits down and thinks deeply.

You shrug.

You say 'If you want to sign your own death wish..'

Thren looks at everyone, saying nothing.

You mutter quietly to yourself.

Zelabryn says 'It just rained ice cream.'

Zelabryn says 'I am not really too worried about females.'

Drenos coughs loudly.

It starts to rain something that looks like water.

Drenos says 'A moment.'

Drenos walks down.

Zelabryn winces, expecting something beyond.

Drenos walks in.

Drenos nods.

Drenos gives a sturdy backpack to Zelabryn.

Thren looks up in the sky and smiles.

You notice that all of your clothing has turned completely invisible as soon as it got wet.

Thren says 'Oh my.'

Thren blushes.

Drenos grins evilly.

Zelabryn slowly lowers his head to view his naked body.

Drenos says 'Now that is a trick that will sell!'

Drenos licks his mouth and smiles.

Drenos looks at himself.

Thren exclaims 'GAH!' and quickly tries to run behind the portal, covering himself.

Zelabryn says 'Well.'

Drenos sighs, 'Oh don't be so modest. We're all made of the same stuff.'

Zelabryn says 'This madness is unheard of.'

Drenos touches his garments, testing the material.

Zelabryn says 'Mine just happens to be much prettier.'

Thren has created a nice calming Wowipop.

Thren gives you a nice calming Wowipop.

Thren says 'Calm myself.'

Thren nods.

You say 'I'm not calm? But, I'm just standing there with myself all out in the open.'

Drenos seems lost in thought, 'Is it the rain, or the thread?'

Drenos says 'The other one, Thren.'

You say 'What other one?'

It starts to rain izurrelk.

Drenos looks up, seeming to lose his patience, 'This is why you can't simply go about with two of you!'

Drenos says 'Agh!'

*mission accomplished. Drenos just lost it*

Zelabryn tells you 'I believe I may have a touch of madness you know.'

Izurrelk looks about the area..

Izurrelk says 'HHmm..'

The rain suddenly dissolves Zelabryn.

Zelabryn says 'Did it just rain him?'

Drenos holds his hands out, empty, 'Welcome, master Ranger, to our nightmare.'

Drenos offers a nervous laugh.

Izurrelk says 'YouhHr nigHhtmare...'

Thren says 'No mine.'

Izurrelk looks at you.

Thren chuckels and replies 'Yes, mine!'

Drenos says 'Or dream, or reality, whichever you prefer.'

Thren says 'Said so!'

You sing 'see!'

You chuckle politely.

It starts to rain Gright.

Thren peers intently at Gright.

Thren climbs out from behind the portal, licking his wowipop and humming a tune to himself.

Drenos says 'My favorite zealot! Straight from the sky.'

Thren scans north.

Izurrelk scans all around.

Izurrelk walks in.

Drenos says 'And gone.'

Thren shrugs helplessly.

You peer around yourself intently.

Izurrelk says 'WHahht HAhppenszs Hhere?'

Izurrelk scans all around.

You sing 'What doesn't?'

Drenos frowns at what Izurrelk did.

Gright says 'Who summons me?'

Izurrelk says 'THe weathher...'

Izurrelk sits down and rests.

Drenos says 'Have a drink, relax, and enjoy the experience.'

Drenos gestures to the icewine pool, smiling.

You say 'Might as well because I guess I'm buying'

You say 'Aren't I?'

Drenos nods.

Thren says 'Ehrm I'm not sure I am.'

Gright scratches his head, looking very confused.

You say 'Well, then I guess someone is buying'

Drenos says 'The offer may come better from you, Threns. I doubt Gright trusts me much.'

Drenos sighs.

Thren says 'You just rained in-.'

Drenos straightens his mismatched armors as though they were a finely tailored suit.

Izurrelk looks at you.

Gright says 'I do not.'

Izurrelk looks at Gright.

Izurrelk looks at himself.

Izurrelk looks at Thren.

Izurrelk looks at Drenos.

Izurrelk looks at you.

Thren blinks slowly...

You bat your eyelashes.

Izurrelk sits down and thinks deeply.

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Izurrelk says 'There arEh Two of yOouhh...'

Drenos sighs, 'And yet we've barely met.'

Thren says 'This is all so confusing.'

A soft buzzing can be heard from several small hornets zooming around Izurrelk.

You say 'There are?'

Thren says 'At least you rained in only once.'

Gright says 'I agree thren. Confusing.'

Izurrelk stands up.

You sing 'There is only me'

Gright says 'I was praying at my Temple, and and... I am here.'

You say 'I think'

Thren says 'Right.'

Drenos says 'And him?'

Thren says 'Whom?'

You say 'Who?'

Thren says 'I think I should have another wowipop.'

Thren walks in.

Thren gives you a nice calming Wowipop.

Drenos says 'It can only help.'

Drenos sits, sighing.

Gright says 'Poison.'

You sing 'bUht if I hHave tOoao mannny, wonNn't iI rot my teeth?'

You chuckle politely.

Gright says 'I shall not fall to your murdering ways.'

You mutter quietly to yourself.

Thren says 'Doubt it.'

You shrug.

You eat a nice calming Wowipop.

A warm feeling fills your body.

Drenos turns his head sideways, 'If I wanted to poison you, I promise I wouldn't offer herbs.'

Izurrelk looks at Gright.

Drenos looks at Gright.

Thren says 'You'd offer poison?'

Gright says 'Your words are as true as a midnight sun.' *just had to say it didn't you??!!*

Thren munches happily on the Wowipop, licking his finger when he's done.

Drenos nods at you in agreement.

Drenos says 'Correct.'

It starts to rain tiny paper umbrellas.

Drenos says 'And likely get him to pay for it. OW!'

Gright glares at Izurrelk.

Gright looks at Izurrelk.

Izurrelk looks at Gright.

Thren says 'Well better than the Gright or Izurrelk rains.'

Drenos covers himself in his cloak, muttering.

Izurrelk says 'WhHat, elf?'

Thren shrugs helplessly.

Gright says 'Nothing.'

Thren claps his small hands together and says 'Now we've decoration for the drinks'

Thren drinks icewine from an icy pool.

You eat a nice calming Wowipop.

A warm feeling fills your body.

Thren says 'Right!'

Gright says 'For a moment I noticed an evil shadow passing over you.'

Thren says 'Anyone got a cup?'

Drenos smiles, 'Gright likely saw your shroud fading and assumed you've been consorting with some form of devil.'

You say 'Wait, buhHt no gLaZszsSzEss'

Drenos mutters something quietly to himself.

*HIC*

Gright nods.

Izurrelk nods.

Thren hiccups.

* I decide to hell with it, time to make it even more confusing* alias sa emote says '$'

Gright says 'I would be warry of such artifacts. They lead into a dark path.'

Thren walks in.

Alias added: sa = 'emote says "$"'

Izurrelk lifts a heavy hand, a small hornet flies from his palm and lands near Gright..

Izurrelk says 'ThHehre arE aotHhER coOonNncehrNnsSs...'

A full moon rises.

Thren howls uncontrollably at the moon, then quickly stops and oogles.

Izurrelk lifts his head, small pieces of bark falling away..

Drenos giggles and looks to the sky.

Thren says 'Isn't it a bit early for the moon?'

Izurrelk nods, ' Yes..

Drenos says 'Our midnight sun, no doubt.'

Thren says 'Wait, I think I'm right'

Gright says 'I think the same Thren.'

Drenos winks at Gright.

Thren says 'Yes, I think so too.'

Gright says 'It is not midnight.'

Thren says 'My, I think I am hungry.'

Thren says 'I should eat something.'

You say 'I am?'

Drenos says 'No, but that is the only sun that shines at midnight.'

Thren closes her eyes momentarily. *this is where people should have caught on to what was going on. HER EYES!*

A magic meal suddenly appears.

Gright says 'I do not trust this place.'

Darinus scans north.

Thren says 'I do not trust you either.'

You shrug.

You say 'Trust me, better me here than me running all over'

Drenos says 'And icewine numbs certain...painful truths.'

Drenos licks his mouth and smiles.

Thren says 'Yes, I hate it when I see myself running by without a word.'

Gright says 'Do not smile at me Drenos. Your white teeth cannot hide your black heart.'

Thren nods.

Thren says 'Did too!'

Thren says 'That is not very nice of you to say.'

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

Thren says 'Did what?'

You say 'Welcome '

Zuranok says 'Its rAhiNniN szzanieLsSs!!! woogie bOoOgiesSz!'

Drenos grins evilly at Gright.

Drenos nods.

Drenos says 'Still saving?'

Thren says 'Yeah, I guess we, I, walked in'

Thren says 'I think I just was there.'

Thren says 'Was I?'

Thren says 'Yes I was.'

Thren says 'Oh, I guess I was then'

Thren says 'I was always there.'

Gright says 'I do not have a million.'

Zaniel nods in understanding 'Nevermind how we each got here. One of you must be wondering what our purpose may be?

Thren looks at Drenos.

Drenos sighs.

Gright says 'Gold means little to me Drenos.'

Zuranok says 'MmmeR kNOW Wut mer iZSs!!'

Thren says 'Oh hullo Sir, nice of you to rain in.'

Thren glances at Elzorath and yells to Elzorath 'It's starting again! The omen'

Drenos says 'Welcome, Sir Knight!'

Zuranok catches a cherry on his horn.

Zuranok says 'ELlo elfZsz!'

Zuranok pokes Elzorath in the ribs.

Elzorath beckons for you to follow.

Drenos gestures to various things, 'Icewine is over there. If you find yourself confused enough to need an herb for your nerves, simply ask.'

Thren says 'I would, but then I'd follow you too'

Zaniel says 'Perhaps you've the answers we seek.'

Thren says 'That is true.'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' I may. I have had horrible visions as of late.

Drenos returns to his brooding.

Thren says 'Visions, do tell!'

Elzorath looks uncomfortable as he speaks. 'I've seen waves after waves of demonic armies.'

Drenos perks up, interested again.

Zuranok says 'Diss ghUhd sSzTuhhff'

Thren plucks a strawberry from the ground and begins munching on it, 'Do tell more please.'

Thren says 'Hasn't rained any demonic armies so far.'

Gright says 'May the Light be with you Elzorath.'

Elzorath looks uncomfortable as he speaks. 'Even once I saw Lord Drokmar pressed to hold them back as they kept swarming.'

Thren says 'Though we did have some drow assassins.'

Drenos nods at you in agreement.

Elzorath looks uncomfortable as he speaks. 'Amidst the sea of Demons rose a large, black banner.'

Drenos sits, writing figures down on a small pad.

Elzorath looks uncomfortable as he speaks. 'On this Banner was that of a winged serpent, outlined in blood.'

Thren counts on his fingers 'No, just taters, and icecream, and drow assassin, and Gonturan, and Zuranoks. You get the point'

Zuranok snorts derisively.

Zuranok says 'Crazie demsSz'

Elzorath cluthes his head as he shrieks, something obviously overtaking his mind.

Elzorath screams, 'Drok...mar..!!'

Thren says 'Nothing would surprise me at this point'

Gright says 'We have seen the midnight sun rise from the west.'

It starts to rain Drokmar.

As soon as Drokmar hits the ground he goes pop.

Elzorath collapses to the ground, his entire body falls limp.

Elzorath goes to sleep.

Drenos winces in agony.

Zuranok whipes Drokmar from his eye.

Gright mutters something quietly to himself.

Thren says 'I really wish they wouldn't do that.'

Zuranok says 'MehR nEhEdin umbRehllass'

Drenos shrugs in response to your question.

Thren says 'I agree with me'

Drenos says 'Unsettling at first, but you adjust.'

Zuranok says 'Crazie Wetha We hhavin'

It starts to rain Zaniel. Again.

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' troublesome. Why then have most of us not seen them with our very own eyes?

Drenos perks up, 'Welcome back! Icewine, herbs, and such.'

Thren says 'Seen whom?'

Thren says 'Seen whom?'

Gright looks at an Ice Demon.

Zaniel says 'These hordes of demons.'

Drenos offers a bright smile before returning to his seat.

Zaniel looks at an Ice Demon.

You say 'Careful what you ask for here'

Drenos frowns at what Zaniel did.

Gright says 'Is that a statue?'

Zuranok scratches his head, looking very confused.

Zaniel points to the ice demon everyone seems to be ignoring 'Is that one of them?

Drenos looks at Elzorath.

Drenos chuckles to himself, standing.

Thren says 'It's pretty.'

Gright says 'Elzorath sleeps.'

Thren says 'In a disgusting way'

Thren nods.

Zaniel looks at Elzorath.

Thren says 'Yes, I think I am right there.'

Zaniel says 'Hmm.'

You say 'It's the claws that worry me'

Thren nods at you in agreement.

Gright says 'He is having visions.'

Thren says 'I think I am hungry.'

Gright blinks innocently.

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily.

A magic apple suddenly appears.

You say 'You are right, I am'

Gright says 'I stand here.'

Drenos walks over to prod at Elzorath, 'And Gright says I'm the evil one.'

You get a magic apple.

You eat a magic apple.

You are full.

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

Thren says 'More rain?'

Thren says 'Well, we can't be us or I wouldn't be me'

Zuranok says 'Rainin land fish!'

Thren says 'Sure I would be me.'

Drenos backs out of the main gathering slowly.

Zuranok drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' what makes you say that Gright?

Thren says 'We had fish.'

Thren says 'Then who would I be?'

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' I sense nothing.

Thren says 'And buttered potatoes.'

Zuranok says 'Mmmm.....'

Thren says 'Me.'

Gright says 'Elzorath Visions.'

Zuranok says 'BUhTta'

Zaniel looks at Elzorath.

Thren says 'Oh'

You scratch yourself on the head... confused.

Zaniel looks at Gright.

Thren says 'And yellow mushrooms.'

You say 'Don't forget the drow assassin'

Thren says 'You can't eat those though.'

You say 'Icecream?'

Gright says 'We should all be on our guard.'

Zuranok says 'TRufflesSs!!'

Elzorath wakes up and starts resting.

Slowly rising to his feet, Elzorath seems terribly afraid of something.

Elzorath stands up.

Drenos looks at Elzorath.

Drenos says 'Ahh, welcome back.'

Gright smiles happily.

Thren says 'I would be Gright, but how can I guard myself from......myself?'

Thren says 'That would be stupid,'

You say 'Wouldn't it?'

Gright says 'There are worse fates than death.'

Drenos flips a dagger into his hand and picks at his nails.

Elzorath nods in enthusiastic agreement with Gright.

Zuranok nods at Gright.

You draw a tarot card it reveals [ Tower ].

You shall stand tall and face your difficulties...

Drenos frowns at what Gright did.

It starts to rain green squirrels.

Drenos says 'I am not so sure about that.'

Drenos winces in agony.

Zuranok says 'SzsQuhHrllleeess!!!'

Zuranok screams loudly!

Elzorath sits down and rests.

Thren cowers under Zuranok's legs again.

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' such as torture that'll make you wish you were dead.

Elzorath looks at an Ice Demon.

The squirrels do not seem to be please. With either being green or raining.

Drenos frowns at what Zaniel did.

Drenos says 'Have you died, Zaniel?'

Thren says 'Like torture by squirrel rain?'

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Thren frowns as he watches the squirrel bounce across the ground.

Zaniel disappears in a mushroom cloud.

Gright says 'Look at the statue. To be stoned into eternity might be such a fate.'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Dear me...

Zuranok winces in agony.

Elzorath stands up.

Elzorath scans north.

Drenos looks at Gright.

Zuranok scans north.

Thren says 'The weather has been a bit strange lately.'

Zuranok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.

Elzorath yells 'What foul sorcery is this!? Reveal yourself!'

Thren says 'Slightly.'

Zuranok says 'Yahh fIink so......'

Thren points at himself.

Zuranok says 'Mer naoT noOoTicEhszs.'

Thren says 'It is me'

Elzorath looks at you.

Thren says 'It is me?'

Drenos quietly points at you.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' You? No, surely not.

Gright says 'It is back.'

Thren says 'No, it's me'

Thren says 'Me me or you me me?'

Thren says 'You me me, not me me'

Thren says 'No me me you or me me me?'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' ...possessed...

Gright nods at Elzorath.

Drenos nods at Elzorath.

Drenos says 'Without doubt.'

Gright says 'I so suspected, Sir Elzorath.'

You say 'How can I possess myself and argue with myself?'

Drenos digs through his pouches.

Thren says 'This is all so confusing.'

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

You say 'Clearly this isn't possession'

Thren says 'Though it is downright confusing' *speaking seriously here? Victory won! Score: Thren 1/Imm 0*

Gright says 'A doppleganger?'

Zuranok says 'All wogghIie boogiIesSs iif yer aszsksSs mer'

Drenos whispers, 'You should kill it to be sure.'

Thren says 'Hey! No killing me!'

Drenos says 'Isn't that always your answer, Gright?'

Thren agrees absolutely.

Zuranok peers intently at Drenos.

Drenos looks at you.

Elzorath sighs at the sight of you. 'My friend, you are most certainly, at the very least, under the affect of dark magics.

Thren says 'So brutal.'

Zuranok says 'Leave lil sSzcrappieZSs alone!'

Thren shakes her head in dismay.

Zuranok stands up.

Drenos says 'Why?! There's a perfectly healthy bounty, a clear case of possession...'

Gright says 'I sense no evil in here other than you Drenos. If someone is to die, it should be you.'

Drenos says 'The reasons are obvious.'

Hermie rides in.

Hermie agrees absolutely.

Zuranok bows before Hermie.

Hermie looks at Zuranok.

Hermie looks at an Ice Demon.

Drenos beams a smile at Gright.

Gright nods at Hermie.

Thren says 'Oh hello Hermie.'

Thren frowns.

Thren says 'You did not rain in.'

Drenos says 'Oh, no. I don't think I agree with your assessment, friend.'

Hermie disappears in a mushroom cloud.

Drenos ducks behind his cloak and watches.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Gright, oh Gright, priest of the Pure. Surely you know what we can do for him.

It starts to rain Hermie.

Hermie rides north.

Hermie rides in.

Hermie throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Zuranok says 'AnuhhMmMeh!!!!!'

You peer around yourself intently.

Zuranok peers at you intently.

Thren says 'Where?'

Zuranok says 'HHEhrEh!'

Thren says 'Where?'

Zuranok points at you. How rude!

Thren looks at you.

Hermie hopping up and down, shouts 'AGAIN! AGAIN!'

Thren says 'Doesn't look like a god to me.'

Gright says 'Are you sure on the demonic possession?'

Drenos dusts himself off, 'Ahh, hello, welcome! There is Icewine in the corner, and herbs if you need them to handle the...stress.'

Drenos nods at Gright.

Zuranok says 'DemsSz ZSspoken To em!!! thHrensSz!!'

Drenos says 'Positive'

Thren says 'What?'

Hermie drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' No, this could be simuclara.

Zuranok says 'What all diss woogie boggieZSs!'

Thren says 'What is simclara?'

Thren says 'If it is, then I'm clearly lost'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' A lesser form of possession. Mirroring another. The Nexuns often employ this.

Elzorath taps his chin thoughtfully.

Zuranok says 'Yar..'

Zuranok nods at Elzorath.

Hermie looks at an Ice Demon.

Thren says 'Simulacra throughout history can only mimic one'

Gright says 'Yes, I to have such suspects.'

Zuranok says 'Demunszs!! Ehn green sSsquuiirrleszs!!'

Gright says 'You think it to be the Lich?'

Drenos smiles, 'So the solution, again, is to kill it.'

Thren says 'I've seen MANY of me running around'

Hermie snorts derisively.

Thren says 'I'm against killing me still.'

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

Zuranok pokes Thren in the ribs.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' We cannot be too careful, it could be Volgathras himself.

Hermie says 'Yaszs, leTss see ya kill it.'

Elzorath snarls angrily.

Hermie nudges Drenos.

Hermie looks at Drenos.

Zuranok says 'SSsee hHeR hHereesSs!!!'

Zuranok screams loudly!

Hermie looks at Thren.

Thren says 'I wouldn't hit me if I were you'

Hermie looks at Thren.

You say 'You might hit me'

Thren says 'And that after I helped you too Hermie, shame on you.'

Drenos says 'Me? Oh no, sir. I'm simply a Merchant trying to offer consultation.'

Hermie beams a smile at Thren.

Hermie says 'Ma not say kiIll yaZSs, drEhnosSz sSsaysSz kiills.'

Hermie snickers softly.

Zuranok bleeds on Thren. Watch out, YOU might be next!

Elzorath looks at first you and then second you. 'Hrmm...this is not good. Not good at all.'

Hermie says 'MehR juhHszssSs wAnnaa sEe hoW dawt drenOsSz finck himszs goOonnAh ckillszs what can noT tRUhehly be sSsEhEn..'

Hermie snickers softly.

Gright says 'Sir Elzorath I know of a ritual that will work on Abominations. It is powerless on demons, but it could reveal the hand of death.'

Zaniel rides in.

Hermie looks at you.

Thren says 'What do you want me to do about it? Ask me instead'

Drenos says 'But Gright is ALWAYS so quick to want to kill. I simply can't understand why he suddenly is less enthusiastic.'

Hermie blinks slowly...

Hermie says 'GrigHt szsawy himm noT wAnNnt fighhT..'

Gright says 'I will not kill someone just because they are missguided.'

Elzorath turns to Gright, 'At this point we must try anything if we are to save the Herald.'

Drenos says 'But you don't even know me and certainly want to do so!'

Drenos frowns.

Drenos straightens his mismatched armors as though they were a finely tailored suit.

Thren says 'What are we saving me from agani?'

Gright says 'I will require some room. Please stand back a bit.'

*HIC*

[Elrozin]

Hermie looks at you.

Thren says 'Again?'

Hermie shrugs helplessly.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Yourself, it seems.

Zuranok steps backwards.

Elzorath sighs as he thinks of you. Touching, huh?

Gright looks at you.

Hermie says 'Du knowss..'

Hermie says 'SSzeemsSz yasSzelf wanna huhrt yaszself..'

Hermie blinks slowly...

Drenos smiles happily.

Thren says 'Why would I do that?'

Gright approaches Thren.

Drenos steps back, grinning.

Thren says 'I surely do not want to hurt myself.'

Hermie says 'Or juZSssSs wanna be walking, talcking and being more thHan one person..'

Hermie throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Drenos whispers loudly, 'This could be fun!'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' You are not in control, Thren, you must realize this.

Hermie says 'Ma duhn Wiszsh deRE waszs two aF mEhr.....'

Gright says 'Do not move Thren. I do not wish to harm you.'

Thren says 'I'm just one person, I can assure you of that.'

Hermie smiles at you.

Zaniel looks at you.

Hermie looks at Thren.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' These people disappearing in clouds of smoke, did you want that either?

Gright places a hand on Thren shoulder.

Zaniel looks at an Ice Demon.

Elzorath stands behind you, watching Gright carefully.

Hermie looks at Zaniel.

An Ice Demon looks at Zaniel.

You hear a disembodies voice booming from near Gright ' LORD OF THE LIGHT SHOWER US WITH YOUR LIGHT

Gright says 'I sense presence of something very powerful.'

Drenos mutters at his smoking clothing.

Elzorath places his hands at the back of the Herald, holding him within the Light.

Zaniel points a shacky finger at the ice demon.
