Thren's Ordeal (Part 3)

[Elrozin]

Elzorath peers intently at an Ice Demon.

Zuranok looks at Thren.

Elzorath's force shield shimmers then fades away.

Hermie bites his lip contemplatively.

Elzorath utters the words, 'abrazak'.

Gright says 'I do not know.'

Zuranok says 'Hrmm...'

Zuranok looks at Thren.

Gright says 'Do you feel better Thren?'

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Zuranok looks at you.

Hermie says 'Ma nuht ZszUhre yasSs knaow whhat yer doOoin.'

Zaniel retracks his arm 'There it moved! Someone banish it!

Gright peers at you intently.

Thren says 'I feel about the same as before.'

Hermie looks at you.

Elzorath sighs.

Thren says 'I've felt the same through all of this'

Zuranok says 'EmZSs luhKs Alot likEh mehR'

Thren nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.

Thren says 'I agree with me there fully.'

Zaniel takes a step back 'Before its too late and hurts someone.

Hermie looks at you.

Hermie looks at you.

Hermie snickers softly.

Hermie looks at Thren.

Hermie shrugs helplessly.

You sigh.

Thren sighs.

Drenos looks at Zaniel.

Hermie looks at an Ice Demon.

Thren drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Hermie looks at an Ice Demon.

His face revealing sadness, a single tear rolls down the cheek of Elzorath. 'I..I do not know what to do.'

Zuranok says 'Iice demUhn likesSs ice wineZsz..'

Hermie seems to measure you up and consider your size.

Zuranok says 'MahBbehr offer ehmss sSsUm/'

Thren says 'It does?'

Drenos smiles happily.

Gright says 'Sir Elzorath you are a Sigil. Can you sense something hiding here with us?'

Thren says 'Have some ice wine ice demon?'

An Ice Demon shrugs helplessly.

Zuranok hands a water skin fullof ice wine to the Ice demon.

An Ice Demon drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Zuranok says 'Yahh!'

Zuranok says 'SSzee!'

Zaniel snickers 'Don't offer it any wine!

Zuranok says 'Em like'

Gright says 'The statue moved!'

Zuranok ruffles an Ice Demon's hair playfully.

Thren says 'Are you trying to make it grow in strength?'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Even with all the blessings of the Light I cannot. My visions are all that I have to offer.

Zaniel looks at you 'You need to lay off the icewine yourself.

Zuranok says 'Who get sstronga when drunksSs?'

Zuranok peers intently at Zaniel.

Hermie snickers with Zuranok about their shared secret.

Zuranok says 'Cehpt fer mEgh'

Hermie says 'Ma jjuZszsSz Be mere cluhmszse.'

Drenos looks at the elfs, then the demon statue, bewildered.

Gright looks at an Ice Demon.

Zuranok licks his mouth and smiles.

An Ice Demon hiccups.

Thren mutters 'Ice demon' 'Icewine'.

Hermie hiccups.

Zuranok agrees absolutely.

Zaniel groans at Elzorath 'Try to peer harder.

Zuranok says 'Iice wiineoo!'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' I have not learned enough yet from the Oracles to be able to see anymore.

Hermie says 'WIIINE!'

Hermie drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Hermie drinks icewine from an icy pool.

Gright nods.

Thren says 'These are not the Thren you seek?'

Zaniel sighs 'Then its up to Thren and his icewine?

It starts to rain Merchant.

Drenos wonders aloud, 'Are they really searching for some...dark evil while that Demon moves about?'

Gright says 'For once Denos may be right.,'

You peer around yourself intently.

You boggle at the concept.

Zuranok says 'Mer Zszee dIisSs all da TiimesSs.'

Zaniel looks at someone.

It - really - starts to rain Merchant.

Thren says 'All the time?'

Drenos ducks out of the way.

Gright says 'I do not like statues of living demons.'

Zuranok says 'AaHhh mmmercHaont rAhiiniInss!!!'

Zuranok says 'DiisscjOouhnNnt!!!'

Thren ducks for cover.

Istas steps out from her cover.

Istas raises an eyebrow.

Zaniel looks at Istas.

Drenos peers about for an opportunity.

Drenos says 'Ahh! Welcome!'

Thren says 'Oh hullo Istas.'

Hermie looks at Istas.

Istas nods.

Elzorath looks at Istas.

Thren says 'Welcome Istas'

Hermie looks at Istas.

Istas says 'Why are we all here?'

Thren says 'Have some ice wine.'

Drenos spreads his arms wide, 'Icewine - corner. Herbs - well, you probably have that part covered.'

Thren says 'You just rained in.'

Zuranok says 'FeR daw free wIiNneZsz!!!'

Thren says 'Have some ice wine'

Hermie says 'WIiNnE!, dRInNnck ssome!'

Zuranok says 'Duh'

Thren says 'You just rained in'

It starts to rain Kyraena.

Zuranok looks at Istas.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Thren is suffering from some sort of possession or dark simulcra.

Elzorath looks at Kyraena.

Thren says 'I am?'

Drenos raises his hand, 'So that the Knight and his devout friend can try to discover the source of evil.'

Kyraena raises an eyebrow.

Hermie looks at Kyraena.

Zuranok makes some grunting noises.

Kyraena smiles at you.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' How else do you explain it?

Elzorath sighs.

Drenos says 'While looking everywhere but at the Demon in the corner.'

Hermie looks at Kyraena.

It stats to rain Zaniel. Again.

Drenos shrugs helplessly.

You shrug.

Hermie says 'DOwn comeZSs Zzzaniel...'

Kyraena scans all around.

Istas says 'I tried to gate from here and was erm...summoned back?'

Elzorath signs, ' Two of you, you do not remember things at times, you have conversations with yourself.

Thren says 'I do not.'

Gright says 'I propose that we disassemble the statue.'

Thren says 'I do not'

Thren nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.

Hermie says 'Nor do i...'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' We are all your friends here, Thren. We have seen you do it.

Thren says 'I never talk to myself. Unless I talk to me. '

Zaniel folds his long arms across his chest taking a peek at Kyraena 'I suppose its raining monks now?

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' We would not lie to you.

Thren says 'Erm.'

Thren says 'And I've only talked to me here'

Thren says 'I am my friend too.'

Thren says 'Aren't I?'

Kyraena sits down and rests.

Elzorath shakes his head.

Zuranok snickers with Thren about their shared secret.

Drenos looks at Istas.

Kyraena drinks water from a magical spring.

Thren says 'I sure am.'

Thren says 'Well, I guess I am then'

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

Hermie smiles happily.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Not whilst these dark forces grip you. You cannot trust what it makes you say or feel.

Thren says 'I can't trust myself now?'

Thren boggles at the concept.

Thren says 'Well, if I can't trust myself, who can I trust?'

Thren agrees absolutely.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' A very sad and unfortunate question.

Elzorath sighs.

Drenos raises his hand once more, 'Me.'

Hermie says 'Thhren, gIits hHold af yersSzelF...'

Drenos smiles at you.

Hermie says 'YasSs vbe you!'

Zaniel chuckles politely.

Hermie says 'Good manss, helpsSs mansSz..'

Thren wraps his arms around himself and replies 'Like this'

Hermie snorts derisively.

Kyraena says 'Are we going on an adventure or something?'

Zuranok chuckles politely.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' It is not a matter of trust at this point, it is faith. You must believe that this ailment does not control you.

Thren says 'No idea.'

Hermie looks at Kyraena.

Thren says 'Are you?'

Zaniel looks at Kyraena.

Zuranok says 'Venture!!'

Kyraena says 'Might aswell.'

Zuranok chuckles politely.

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' life is but an adventure.

Hermie says 'GEhaor!'

Zuranok says 'DiZsz exciing nUFf.'

Hermie throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Gright nods in enthusiastic agreement with Elzorath.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' You must banish it from within, you must not let it control you.

Hermie says 'WawsSz vehntUrEh bEfoReh.....sshoUhld oF sSzeEhn iTss kyraaehnaa..'

Thren says 'I don't believe it does Elzorath. If it did, I wouldn't be me anymore'

Thren says 'Do I feel controlled by myself?'

Hermie says 'MA flew froom heRe, And bAhck ZSsOo fast...'

Kyraena raises an eyebrow.

Kyraena stands up.

Hermie says 'Tru tru, oone minute ma iZsz heRe...'

Hermie scans down.

Kyraena walks in.

It starts to rain small black puppies.

Zuranok says 'HhRmm'

Thren says 'And all this started with a blasted minotaur summoning circle'

Zuranok says 'PuhppIiEhsSs!'

Hermie says 'PuhPPiiehs!'

Gright says 'Summoning circle?'

And pop they go as they tough the ground, black ink everywhere!

Hermie says 'Ehww!'

Zuranok smacks a fallins puppy with his axe handle.

Thren sighs and replies 'Don't ask

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Is it so hard to believe that some sort of dark magic escaped that circle?

Elzorath peers at you intently.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Setzer dabbled in magicks he had no business dealing in. I was there Thren, do you not remember?

Thren says 'You should eat something Sir.'

Thren says 'I remember clearly'

Zuranok says 'Eat dis.'

Thren says 'I was there to'

Thren says 'I do not remember that you were there when Setzer was here though.'

Thren says 'That's true'

Zuranok says 'PUpPyZsz ghUhd EhatTIiNnsSz...'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' I most certainly was. The wisps had you by the ankle.

Hermie snickers with Zuranok about their shared secret.

THE SUN RISES IN THE WEST.

Gright gasps in astonishment.

Zuranok says 'ZSsuN Zszhinnness!!!'

******D 0 it's midnight******

Drenos beams a smile at Gright.

Thren says 'But not here.'

Drenos says 'See?'

Gright says 'Again!'

Thren says 'Third time now.'

Zuranok says 'LeasT nnnoT RainniNn puppieZsz....'

Drenos says 'I'm going to visit some friends.'

Drenos bows deeply.

Drenos walks down.

Hermie says 'ThHe waoRld iZsz backWarDss?'

Gright says 'Perhaps it is a sign that Drenos is right. That the culprit is the statue.'

You shrug.

Zuranok says 'But....'

Hermie looks at an Ice Demon.

Zuranok says 'ZsztatUE nNnoOot aLWays Hehre..'

Thren says 'I think that is Sir Gright's fault.'

Zuranok says 'Dis Been goiNn oN Fer lonnng Timess.'

Thren says 'I think I should eat something.'

Zuranok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.

You get a magic steak.

Zuranok says 'Wunt Puppieszs meatsSz?'

Gright says 'See, the demon is defending himself, by forcing Thren to speak lies.'

Zuranok pokes you in the ribs.

Elzorath nods in enthusiastic agreement with Gright.

Thren says 'I didn't speak any lies'

Kyraena walks in.

Thren says 'My memory is near perfect'

Gright says 'Another prof of the Statue involvement.'

Elzorath beckons Kyraena to follow...hmmm what's going on?

Hermie says 'YoOou ZszPeahk fer demonsSz nOows, yass caugHht ZszelfZSs oOoUt..'

Hermie winks at Thren.

Gright says 'Perhaps you should face your demons Thren.'

Thren says 'Well, if I speak for demons, then why am I telling the truth?'

Thren raises an eyebrow at Hermie's weird actions.

Hermie snickers softly.

Thren says 'Why are they all the sudden my demons?'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' You do not know what the truth is, Thren. That's the point my friend.

Elzorath sighs.

It starts to rain Fin.

Zuranok says 'FiN!!!!'

Fin says 'Greetings.'

Fin stands at attention and gives a brisk salute.

Hermie says 'SSsaome WiNe?'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' No one has said they are YOUR demons. They escaped that summoning circle Setzer conjured.'

Zaniel groans 'Now its raining Fin.

Gright whistles appreciatively.

Thren raises an eyebrow at Hermie's weird actions.

Thren says 'Then wouldn't they be Setzer's demon?'

Thren says 'Did that make any sense to you?'

Hermie snickers softly.

Hermie says 'NnnEver..'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' It could have been anyone's Demon...but it chose you.

Kyraena raises an eyebrow.

Hermie nods in enthusiastic agreement with Elzorath.

You shrug.

Thren says 'The ice demon?'

Elzorath shrugs helplessly.

Kyraena raises an eyebrow.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' That is what we have yet to discover.

Elzorath stands up.

Gright says 'Are you saying we should strike Setzer?'

Hermie says 'Nnoo.'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Of course not. He is just a fool who dabbled in things he should not have.

Elzorath sighs.

Thren says 'That's a wonderful idea the more blood the better.. erm, never mind that.'

Gright says 'SEEE HE CALL FOR THE BLOOD OF HIS FRIEND. It is the statue.'

Thren says 'I did not'

Thren says 'Bad statue.'

Kyraena looks at an Ice Demon.

Zuranok pokes Gright in the ribs.

Fin looks at an Ice Demon.

Thren says 'It seems to have a bad influence on Sir Gright.'

Zuranok says 'CannT cjhaop demuhNn!'

Fin looks at Hermie.

Fin looks at Zuranok.

Kyraena beams a smile at Zuranok.

Gright says 'The demons protects itself with Thren mouth.'

Thren says 'My mouth is mine'

Zuranok looks at you.

Zuranok says 'HrmMmm'

Fin looks at Elzorath.

Thren says 'Agreed.'

Fin looks at Drenos.

Kyraena looks at Drenos.

It starts to rain Drenos.

Drenos winces in agony.

Thren says 'Your resolve will not help here, but thank you anyways'

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

Zuranok snickers softly.

It starts to rain Zaniel.

Drenos tells you 'You know, I just scouted the Minotaurs.'

You tell Drenos 'And?'

Drenos tells you 'I couldn't find that circle you mentioned. I'm happy to return, if you have more information.'

Thren walks over to the 'other' Thren and begins pacing around himself.

Drenos sits down and rests.

Fin looks at Gright.

Kyraena looks at you.

Gright looks at Fin.

You tell Drenos 'The circle wasn't there. It was IN winter'

All around trees grow.

[Elrozin]

Drenos tells you 'Oh, well.'

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

Zuranok says 'TreeZSs!!'

Drenos tells you 'I do doubt I'm heading in there.'

Drenos sighs.

Thren says 'If I'm me, and you are me then...'

Thren says 'We are us?'

Zaniel holds his hands up toward the heavens 'Behold! The reckoning of Gaia!

Thren says 'Or I am me?'

Thren says 'You are you'

You say 'I am me'

Zuranok says 'LeZSst meR get szsome sSshelta fRom falliin sZzanIelss'

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

It starts to rain yellow mice.

Thren says 'That means, you can't be me, you must be you'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' That's it, Thren. Realize that you and this abomination are seperate. He has no power over you.

Drenos covers up, muttering about mice

Gright says 'Yes, face yourself'

Drenos sigh, 'Are we still trying...counseling?'

Zuranok claps his hands togehter crushing a yellow mouse between his palms.

Thren says 'No, no councilling is needed. I just know who I am'

Fin looks at Kyraena.

Thren agrees absolutely.

Kyraena says 'My head..'

Thren says 'And if you get involved, I'm sure I'll be the one to suffer'

Zaniel sermons loudly. 'Is it not proof that Aabahran is taking itself back!

Kyraena says 'Something is in my head..'

Zuranok snorts derisively.

Zuranok says 'Rainin oRDeR.....'

Thren says 'Hello Zoichan.'

Thren says 'So, theorectically, I cannot be you if I am me'

Thren says 'Nice of you to rain in.'

Zoichan says 'Hello...peoples...'

Thren says 'I am me though not you me.'

Thren says 'Right'

Kyraena raises an eyebrow.

Gright says 'What are you doing here Abomination!.'

Thren says 'So you are you being me being you'

Hermie says 'Thats what ma thought!'

Zoichan says 'An excellent question. I had just asked myself that.'

Elzorath frowns.

Thren says 'I think that sums it up nicely.'

Zuranok says 'If you meszs HimmsSs,deNn DaT musSsT maKeZsz demms ThhrensSz?'

Zoichan says 'Why AM I here?'

Zaniel sermons 'He's come to stain the coming of Gaia!

Thren exclaims 'Which means, I am me all by myself!'

Thren says 'You rained in here.'

Thren says 'Yes!'

Thren beams broadly at nothing in particular.

Gright closes his eyes momentarily.

Gright brandishes his holy symbol and utters words summoning Drokmar's divine power!

Zoichan yells 'Die! Gright, you sorcerous dog!'

Gright wields "Masher," the Chieftain's Mace adorned with the eye of a fire maggot.

Gright's faith *** DEMOLISHES *** Zoichan!

Zoichan's eyes widen in fear of Drokmar's power.

Zoichan has fled!

Zoichan walks down.

The gods protect Zaniel from Gright.

The gods protect Fin from Gright.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' A dark power has summoned you, fiend.

You mutter quietly to yourself.

Elzorath nods at Gright.

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

Fin smirks.

A bolt from the heavens smites Gright!

A bolt from the heavens smites Gright!

Thren has restored you.

Zuranok says 'Sjrazy we haVin'

Hermie looks at Gright.

Hermie winces in agony.

Zoichan walks north.

Fin scans all around.

Hermie scans north.

Gright says 'Bleed'

Thren says 'See, violence doesn't help'

Gright says 'I'm bleeding and burning all over.'

Zuranok says 'VolEhnce alwayZSs anZSswER!'

Gright weakly bleeds all over the floor.

Thren says 'Yes, looked like you got hit a lot by lightning.'

Zaniel closes his eyes momentarily. ' let us not start violence in this peaceful sanctuary.

Fin looks at Zoichan.

Zoichan looks at Gright.

Elzorath glares at Zoichan.

Zoichan says 'Start? I don't intend to start. I WILL finish it though.'

Gright grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...

Zoichan peers intently at Gright.

Thren says 'Sanctuary? It's been raining EVERYTHING!'

Thren says 'Later and somewhere else.'

Gright says 'I shall deal with you later.'

Kyraena says 'Maybe we should pray?'

Elzorath seems to concentrate deeply as runes flare about him.

Zoichan says 'Later? Fine then. Ask him to apologize.'

Elzorath seems to concentrate deeply as runes flare about him.

Fin smirks.

You sigh.

Thren sighs.

Hermie looks at Elzorath.

Zuranok says 'Aohh now noow..'

Gright says 'I apologize that I did not turn you into a pile of ash.'

Zuranok snorts derisively.

His lips parting slightly, Zoichan's mouth forms a thin grin.

Zoichan says 'Good enough for me.'

Zuranok says 'Dat wurk'

Zoichan says 'So again...why are we here?'

Zuranok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Zuranok points excitedly at Thren!

Zuranok says 'Ems'

Hermie points excitedly at Thren!

Thren says 'I don't know why you are here, but I know why He is here'

Zoichan says 'Which one?'

Zaniel raises his hands up high. 'We welcome the coming of nature!

Gright says 'I thought Zoichan was the one you refered in your visions Sir Elrorath.'

Kyraena raises her hands high.

It starts to rain Amaruil.

Zoichan says 'Oh? Is that true?'

Hermie looks at Amaruil.

Amaruil blinks innocently.

Zoichan says 'Seeing me in your sleep, elf?'

Hermie blinks slowly...

Zuranok says 'AhhhHh NUhdda oOones'

Thren looks at Amaruil.

Fin looks at Amaruil.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Lord Amaruil...

Elzorath stands up.

Elzorath bows before Amaruil.

Amaruil says 'On your feet.'

Hermie looks at Amaruil.

Thren says 'Oh hello. You do not explode?'

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

Thren says 'I am on my feet'

Thren agrees absolutely.

Amaruil seems confused, but covers with bluster, 'You SALUTE me, Knight.'

Zuranok falls down laughing.

Elzorath proffers a brisk salute to Amaruil.

Thren pokes Amaruil in the ribs.

Elzorath blushes.

Amaruil leaves in a swirling mist.

Thren sits down and thinks deeply.

Hermie blinks slowly...

Thren says 'Did not explode.'

Thren says 'Going to go pop now?'

Thren says 'No he didn't, which is surprising'

Amaruil appears in a swirling mist.

Zuranok says 'Mer didnNn eitha.'

Thren says 'Which either means I've gone completely mad or completely sane'

Thren says 'An interesting question isn't it?'

Zoichan makes an obvious showing of a fake yawn.

Zuranok shrugs helplessly.

Zuranok says 'I know how Tells!!'

You peer intently at Zuranok.

Zuranok says 'Yer twao sSstart sSzingin!'

Thren says 'I wouldn't bet my hopes on that'

You shrug.

You prepare to sing 'Battle Hymn'.

You lost your concentration.

You chuckle politely.

You prepare to sing 'Good Tidings'.

You sing 'A rabbit's foot, a shooting star,'

You sing 'Good omens for a brand new start.'

You sing 'A golden horseshoe, a four leaf clover,'

You sing 'Sounds of good tidings ever so closer.'

You sing 'The future looking ever so bright,'

You sing 'Lady luck, stay by my side tonight.'

You feel a little luckier.

Zuranok looks at you.

Zuranok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.

Hermie looks at you.

Zuranok says 'Gud!'

Zuranok says 'Now you'

Kyraena looks at you.

Zuranok points excitedly at Thren!

Zuranok says 'Nuffin eh...'

Zuranok says 'See!'

Zuranok points excitedly at Thren!

Thren says 'The problem isn't that you don't know which is which'

*Zuranok attacks and I take a round or two of combat before I flee*

You grumble distractedly to yourself.

Zuranok peers around himself intently.

A bolt from the heavens smites Zuranok!

A bolt from the heavens smites Zuranok!

A bolt from the heavens smites Zuranok!

A bolt from the heavens smites Zuranok!

Zuranok says 'Sorries...'

[Elrozin]

Hermie winces in agony.

Zuranok says 'Mer guessin rite...'

Thren says 'You look like a roast duck.'

Thren says 'Didn't I just tell you violence would only lead to me suffering'

Zuranok says 'No can tells.'

Zaniel raises his arms high 'Smite this one for bringing violence to her sanctuary!

Hermie says 'Smells like pork.'

Zuranok peers intently at Zaniel.

Kyraena gasps as she realizes what Hermie did.

Zuranok says 'Tree hugga...'

Zuranok says 'Yer watch it'

Zuranok points excitedly at Zaniel!

Thren prepares to sing 'Good Tidings'.

Thren sings 'The future looking ever so bright,'

Thren sings 'Lady luck, stay by my side tonight.'

You shrug.

Zoichan yells 'Oh Gright!'

Zoichan flies in.

The Blood Guard walks in.

*Zoichan attacks Gright. blah blah, punch, kick smash*

Gright has fled!

Zoichan waves happily.

Zoichan sits down and rests.

Setzer tells you 'I have the soul for adventure'

Thren says 'You know, with all this going on, this is never could to get solved'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Do not do that again, filth.

You tell Setzer 'I'm still in the same one you LEFT!'

Setzer tells you 'An immortal prison?'

You tell Setzer 'Accept this time, I'm sitting here looking at myself'

Thren says 'I think I may only get hurt.'

Thren says 'Good'

It starts to rain Setzer.

Setzer rides down.

Setzer rides in.

Elzorath sighs.

Hermie says 'Setzer himself is here.'

You say 'Then maybe we can finally get this all sorted out'

Zuranok says 'Eh der.'

Fin looks at Setzer.

Thren waves happily.

You grumble distractedly to yourself.

Thren says 'You started this whole mess'

Hermie looks at Thren.

Setzer says 'I have an odd feeling i've been here before'

Kyraena points excitedly at Setzer!

You mutter something to Setzer.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Everyone quiet down, let Setzer speak a moment.

Gright nods.

Setzer looks at you.

You peer intently at Setzer.

Setzer looks at you.

Setzer says 'This is all about Minotaur magic?'

Elzorath nods.

Kyraena peers intently at Setzer.

Zuranok peers intently at Setzer.

Thren says 'It was your circle I got tossed into, remember?'

Zuranok says 'Sex changin Threns only makes em two Threns.'

Zoichan flies in.

Zoichan dusts his coat off.

Zoichan says 'Vlad sends his best.'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Those wisps that you conjured that grabbed at Thren.

Setzer says 'It is true I have learned to dabble in some of the more primitive arts...'

Zoichan pulls the collar of his coat closer to his neck.

Setzer says 'Well then!'

Setzer takes a MAGIC rod out of a big sack.

You say 'Oh lord, not again'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Whoa there big fella...put that away.

Setzer says 'Thought you brought me here to show yo'

Elzorath shakes his head.

Setzer says 'To show you what it is I've learned'

Zuranok says 'Me wunt sees.'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' It's caused quite a lot of trouble my friend.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' I know you mean well, but.

Elzorath sighs.

Thren says 'I didn't bring you up here. Me did'

Zuranok says 'WUT truble?'

Zuranok says 'PuhhPpiIeZsz raIin?'

Thren says 'I mean I did.'

Thren says 'See'

Thren says 'I me and not me me over there.'

Setzer drops some gold.

Setzer drops some gold.

Hermie gets 2 gold coins.

Setzer says 'Look, a coin out of your ear'

Hermie drops some gold.

Hermie drops some gold.

Setzer looks at you.

It starts to rain Beiyahna.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Yes, yes, I taught you that trick, I know.

Zuranok says 'Oouht HhiiM eahhR EhN intahh hHehrmMiiE PockeT'

Setzer says 'Its thren... that bastard stole my sack'

Beiyahna sighs.

Zuranok snorts derisively.

Zuranok says 'HOoW come zZOican noOo get sSsmiteD'

Zuranok mutters something quietly to himself.

Setzer opens up an umbrella.

Beiyahna smiles slightly.

Zoichan says 'Vlad tried his best.'

Zoichan says 'That you can trust.'

Zuranok says 'AhlwayZSs mesSsisSsn Wiff MinoTauhHR.....'

Setzer says 'Ok, ok.'

Setzer strokes his beard thoughtfully.

Gright says 'Not hard enough.'

Setzer says 'Lets collect some blood from each of you'

Kyraena says 'We will sacrifice Setzer?'

Zoichan makes a twisted shape with his mouth, and says 'Better than you ever have, Gright.

Setzer says 'And then see what happens when I put this rod in it'

Kyraena gasps in astonishment.

You wince in agony.

Thren says 'Uh.'

Elzorath shakes a fist around with his left hand while he reaches behind Setzer's ear with his right hand.

Pulling back his right hand from Setzer's ear Elzorath reveals a blood-stained rose!

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' It's all about the flair, Setzer.

Thren says 'I don't think this sounds like a good idea.'

Elzorath gives a blood-red rose to Setzer.

Gright says 'Your day will come Abomination. Sooner than you expect.'

Setzer feeds the rose to one of his goats.

Thren says 'How about we get some blood from you instead?'

Thren says 'Oh fuddlestumps'

Zuranok says 'HRmm,'

The goat seems to grow in size, letting our a terrible bleat! Setzer looks on with amazement.

Beiyahna says 'Why is every one being mean?'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' Blood from who, Thren?

The goat blows up further and then goes... pop.

Zuranok says 'Mehr BlEd Ehm alReaody'

Kyraena beams a smile at Beiyahna.

Setzer dodges the goat flesh!

You boggle at the concept.

Setzer flips head over heels.

Gright says 'Be carefull Kyraena, that one is evil to the core.'

Zoichan says 'Hmmmmm'

Zoichan says 'Lets see here....'

Setzer says 'I seem to remember now'

Thren says 'I've had enough magic tricks to last a lifetime thank you'

It starts to rain blue panties. *Did noone else notice this???!!!*

Kyraena points excitedly at Beiyahna!

Kyraena says 'That one?'

Beiyahna says 'Why because i am a drow?'

Setzer says 'One Thren came out of the other Thren'

You nod at Setzer.

Zoichan says 'How about this one...'

Gright says 'Yes. Beyahna.'

Beiyahna sighs.

Setzer says 'So it seems to me we just got to put it back in.'

Zuranok sits down and thinks deeply.

Thren says 'Hey now!'

Zoichan holds the head of Malin out in frount of him.

Zuranok says 'Wuhht try chaargiinnn dem Inta Ehach Othha?'

Zuranok pokes Setzer in the ribs.

You say 'I don't want that me back in me if it ever was in me'

Beiyahna says 'Blind by skin tone....'

Thren says 'How'd I put myself into myself?'

The head of Malin clearly states from Zoichans outstretched arm 'Hello all.

Gright gasps in astonishment.

Kyraena screams loudly!

Setzer looks uncomfortable.

Thren says 'Hello Malin.'

Zuranok snickers softly.

Beiyahna scowls slighty at Gright

Zuranok says 'ElloOo hHEAdZsz'

Beiyahna says 'Why an i here anycase??'

Setzer says 'Aock'

Setzer says 'SZzuhhranock'

Thren says 'Why are any of us here?'

Setzer nods at Zuranok.

Zuranok says 'WuhHt'

Setzer looks at Zuranok.

The head, in Zoichans hand continues 'I...am clearly...Malin!' A small tooth falls out of his mouth, decayed and rotten.

Gright says 'Would you prefer to be inside a grave?'

Zoichan's eyes widen slightly as he attempts to suppress a laugh.

Setzer says 'Cjann yOouhh maannnaagE tO ZSsuvbduEh bothh thhREhn'szs?'

Zuranok says 'MavbberZsz.'

Elzorath raises an eyebrow at Setzer's weird actions.

Zuranok brings you down in a playful tackle!

Zuranok playfully tackles Thren.

Thren lets out a squeal.

Setzer nods.

Zuranok says 'GOtsSs Em!'

Setzer says 'Tie them uP...'

Thren frowns.

Setzer says 'REally tiIgHt...'

Kyraena says 'No!'

Setzer says 'Juhhst muhHshH Thhem baock taogEhThhaor.'

Zoichan stuffs the head of Malin back in his backpack and asks 'Why does Thren need to be subdued?

Zoichan puts the head of Malin in a sturdy backpack.

Thren yells 'Oh dear lord!'

Gright looks at Beiyahna.

Thren agrees absolutely.

Zuranok wraps a long strand of rope about both Thren's legs and arms.

Thren says 'Let go of me.'

Zuranok says 'CjuhHz!!'

Setzer says 'Ook, tiime fFoOor mAgIc Triick'

Zuranok says 'Dehmszs wOaoGIie vbaoogieszs'

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' This may seem odd, but if Setzer's magick did this, perhaps he can undo it.

Elzorath looks at Beiyahna.

Zuranok says 'Mackinnn bad Finghss happszs'

The rope dissolves as fast as it gets wrapped around them.

Setzer holds the magic rod up triumphantly!

Gright says 'Beiyahna you will stop your unholy study or I shall kill you where you stand.'

Zuranok says 'WuT!'

Zuranok says 'DAt MmMer bEhZszt ropeZSs!'

Setzer says 'Stay vback.......'

Zuranok mutters something quietly to himself.

Zuranok takes a step back.

Setzer draws a basic summoning circle on the ground before you.

Zoichan says 'The ninja studies? And I can't even grab a bite to eat....'

Thren jumps to his feet and dives across the portal area.

Zuranok says 'HhEy!'

It starts to rain nymphs.

Zuranok says 'GEt hhiIm!'

Zuranok lunges at Thren.

Staying far away from all of you, Thren cries 'Another circle? Really?'

Zuranok says 'SslipprieZsz!'

Setzer says 'NaoW thEhnNn'

Zuranok says 'SjiirsjlEsSz cirsjlehszs!!'

Zuranok says 'GET in cjiirclehZSs!'

Setzer reaches out and grabs a you by the collar.

Setzer says 'GiiT YehR iN'

Thren squeals 'Umphhh!'

Zuranok slams Thren hard back into the circle.

Thren says 'You think this is a good idea?'

Hermie snickers softly.

Thren raises an eyebrow at you.

Setzer unceremoniously throws a Thren into the summoning circle.

Hermie raises an eyebrow at Thren's weird actions.

Setzer says 'ZUranOock, geht the oother oOonneh!'

Zuranok says 'OKEhr'

Thren bounces and bounds as he lands.

Elzorath speaks with a light hearted voice, ' I think magic begets magic. And if Setzer's circle did this, perhaps it can undo it.

Zuranok pins Thren down to the circle between his horns.

Zoichan reaches over and tickles Zuranok's belly.

Zuranok says 'GOotsSz Ehm!'

Setzer nods at Zuranok.

Setzer says 'GIt yEhR iIn'

Zuranok says 'LEmmEr know WHhEn readiEhZSs'

Setzer points towards Thren in the summoning circle.

Setzer says 'BotH in thHerE...'

Thren tries to spring up, but is overwhelmed by Zuranok's weight.

Zuranok pushes Thren back down and jumps out of the circle.

Zuranok says 'Yuhp'

Thren looks at Setzer expectantly.

Zuranok says 'WooooOogiE BOoooOogIieEE'

Hermie snickers with Zuranok about their shared secret.

Hermie says 'Too stronk!'

Setzer with a grand flourish, Setzer recites an ancient chant! Shimmery blue walls erupt around the circle.

It starts to rain Barnabee.

Kyraena looks at Barnabee.

Zuranok says 'BraNabee'

Hermie looks at Barnabee.

Setzer kicks Barnabee out of the way.

Zuranok says 'JuZSsT EhNn TiImMEszs.'

Kyraena falls down laughing.

Barnabee drops on his butt.

Barnabee proffers through a gap-toothed grin, 'That's not funny.'

Setzer says 'Truhhm dal ghranteren'

Again the swirling mist rises from the circle, encasing both Thren in the center.

Setzer says 'PEhrszsimEht nuhhan'

Thren says 'Do I feel any different?'

Setzer says 'IOo leriI '

Thren raises an eyebrow at you.

Barnabee looks at you.

You grumble distractedly to yourself.

Setzer says 'KaTaoOossh!'

Thren peers intently at Setzer.

Zuranok says 'BlaHh vblahb BlahH'

Zuranok says 'Zzzap em!!'

The you begins to vibrate violently! Setzer looks on and continues the chant.

Kyraena gasps in astonishment.

Zuranok grins evilly.

Thren turns to Thren and replies 'See, this is what I was afraid of'.

Thren says 'Being?'

Zuranok says 'HuhsSsh huhHszsh'

Thren says 'How many Thren are we going to have this time?'

Zuranok says 'HhiimsSz finKinnn'

It starts to rain chocolate pie.

Hermie says 'MmmMmMM PiiE!'

Thren says 'Well we will see.'

Barnabee opens his mouth wide.

As the you vibrate, both seem to start to disappear. They cry out, translucent and in anguish. Setzer seems unperturbed.

Barnabee proffers through a gap-toothed grin, 'Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...'

Zuranok says 'Uht ooh'

Thren grits his teeth.

Zuranok says 'YeR ZSshuhhre yeR knooW how wavinnn daT szstickszs sSzetzeR'

Hermie says ''Iims ZszeEmM taw knPw waoT '

Suddenly, you and you crash into each other! Blood begins to pour out of their eyes. Setzer zaps the circle again with his rod.

Hermie says ''imZSs daoinNn.'

Zuranok winces in agony.

Zuranok says 'Nao luhHkin ToOo gud....'

You wince in agony.

The Threns crash, then one seems to pass through the other.

Barnabee raises an eyebrow.

It looks like a terrible mess.

Barnabee sighs.

Zuranok winces in agony.

Zuranok says 'Yuhhkk'

Thren screams 'Eeeeyaaah!' as he falls through the other Thren and lands flat on his face.

Barnabee proffers through a gap-toothed grin, 'What the heck going on here...?'

Finally, both Thren stand there again, both a bit roughed up.

Elzorath cringes, realizing he may have made a mistake. 'Setzer, please. Careful...

Setzer falls down, exhausted from the effort.

Thren says 'Urg.'

Zuranok says 'Mer fFOouhgHt hHimsSs did Gud jaobZsz'

Zuranok says 'HHoW FeeliInss thHrenss?'

Setzer wipes some of Thren's blood off of his rod.

Hermie says 'MmAh tHhiinkIin sSzo.'

Thren says 'Awful.'

Setzer says 'No..... THe curZSse isSz Too powerfFUhl'

Zuranok says 'Ohh...'

Thren picks himself up slightly and quickly turns around.

Zuranok says 'MmmabBer emMszs not cuhHRssed...'

Setzer says 'This will take more thHan Magic to mmmake righT'

Zaniel looks at Setzer.

Zoichan creates a chii bolt from his chii.

Thren says 'Well, at least there aren't more' before wiping himself cleaner.

Zoichan says 'Have either of you thought about...just killing one?'

Kyraena says 'We will need the blood of a virgin!'

Zuranok says 'MeR tRiehd'

Thren says 'Yeah, they did, and it didn't go well for me'

Suddenly, with a great POP Thren disappears!

Setzer says 'We ssHOuhHld cOnNnZszuhhlT withH tHEh oOoraclehszs oF yOur casSsTlE, Ehlzorathh'

Zuranok says 'GRii'

Zuranok says 'YeR blEhEhInss?'

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

Elzorath boggles at the concept.

Barnabee rides down.

Zoichan says 'Well...I think the problem just solved itself.'

Barnabee rides in.

You peer around yourself intently.

Thren says 'Are you sure?'

Zuranok says 'Ffer noOoW weh GoOotta keEpZsz deEhsSz two TagEhtha.'

Setzer looks on suspiciously.

Barnabee looks at you.

Zoichan says 'A little late for that, Setzer.'

Zuranok says 'Hoow we guhhn do dat...need Take ZSshifT watchin dem.'

Zoichan says 'One is gone.'

You sigh.

Setzer looks at you.

Thren says 'The question is, which one is left'

You shrug.

Hermie shrugs helplessly.

Setzer says 'Thren woOouhHldn'T say that'

Zuranok says 'DUhn matTa?'

Zoichan says 'I still say kill it, just to make sure.'

Setzer says 'ZoicHan haZSs a POint..'

You sigh.

Zuranok says 'Long as dEhr juhhsSzT oOonEhZsz'

Thren says 'I knew it would go bad for me'

Thren says 'Always violence, always blood'

You shake your head.

Hermie says 'Lehave tHREnszs.'

Zoichan says 'Just as the ancient Herald texts read.'

Zoichan says 'The only good halfling is a dead halfling.'

Barnabee raises an eyebrow.

Zuranok peers intently at Zoichan.

Zuranok says 'QUhite duhHsTy'

Hermie steps across infront of Thren.

Hermie says 'HhIim be ffriIends.'

Zuranok says 'Hhiimmms been trhhooUghH enughh'

Barnabee grits his teeth toward Zoichan.

Setzer says 'Thereh iZsz szstiLl the mMatter oofF theh caodEx'

Zoichan pats Gright on his head.

Zoichan walks down.

The Blood Guard walks down.

Thren says 'It's gone. Stolen. You were there'

Hermie says 'Ma trUhZSst daT disSz be THhrenZSs.'

You sigh.

Hermie looks at you.

Thren says 'All those days of work, down the drain'

Setzer says 'I dOn't fehEl sSsoo Well'

Hermie says 'Ya book?'

Kyraena looks at you.

Setzer shivers from the rain.

Thren says 'More than just a book'

Zoichan walks in.

Hermie blinks slowly...

Thren says 'It was everything I had planned'

Elzorath raises an eyebrow at you.

Elzorath sits down and rests.

Setzer says 'Wehll then, wEh muhhZszt help thrEn finD theh TEhxtsSs.'

Hermie grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...

Thren says 'An entire Codex of behaviour, gone...'

Zoichan says 'Don't leave me waiting, Gright.'

Setzer says 'A prIzeh ssHOUhld go To whHoomeVer retRiEvehsSz it'

Zuranok says 'Where dems loose em'

Hermie nods in enthusiastic agreement with Setzer.

Zuranok nods in enthusiastic agreement with Setzer.

Setzer says 'ThaT iss THhE truhe pOoWeR Ooff miinnnOtauhr magIic..'

Zuranok says 'Mer in!'

Kyraena nods in enthusiastic agreement with Setzer.

Zoichan runs a finger outlining the face of Elzorath stating 'You would be fun as well...

Zuranok says 'Have mer honors fer cause!'

Thren says 'I will, but not right now'

Thren says 'Right now, I think I'm going to go get a nice bowl of tater soup'

Hermie smiles at you.

Zoichan says 'Ahhh! A knight to imprison.'

Zuranok snorts derisively at Zoichan.

Hermie snickers softly.

Kyraena says 'That's not Thren.'

You peer around yourself intently.

Thren says 'What's not me?'

Zoichan says 'In a days time, meet in Val Miran for a good old fashioned...hanging.'

Setzer says 'DOo you hHEar That?'

Setzer says 'Ii Hear szsaommmEhONnE cjalLiinnng mME'

Setzer says 'Mama?'

Zoichan walks down.

The Blood Guard walks down.

Setzer walks down.

Thren says 'I give up, I need a good long rest'

Hermie smiles at you.

Kyraena peers at you intently.

Thren says 'I'd thank you all for coming, but I don't think you really had a choice'

Hermie says 'Kyraena up fer a duel?'

Zuranok says 'ALWay Haveh sjHhoice'

Kyraena says 'Alright.'

Zuranok says 'WEh WuhHnna vbe heReZSs.'

You tell Barnabee 'Well, I'll be writing something on it. You may very well help'

Barnabee smiles at you.

You dazzle Zuranok with your smile.

Kyraena says 'A battlemaster?'

Barnabee hugs you.

Thren says 'Thank you for the support'

Kyraena says 'I mean blademaster?'

Zuranok says 'Yer gUn Be okehr Lil sSzcraappy'

Barnabee gallantly tips his hat.

Zuranok ruffles your hair playfully.

Barnabee tells you 'Good luck, my friend.'

Zuranok says 'We ghuhnNnnNn fFix diszs'

Thren chuckles weakly and hobbles off down through the portal.

*The End...for now*
