The Destruction of Silverwood Manor

Part One * Part Two * Part Three

The Story:  Anilas returns to the Landing to perform a magical ritual to restore the Lorekeeper Manor to the city.  The events that transpired are as follows:

(this log compliments of Lorekeeper Heuward, who logged whilst Delyorik had a massive headache)

Today is Tilamaires, day 25 of the month Imaerasta in the year 5101.  It is 22:23 by the elven time standard.

 [Silverwood Manor, Courtyard]
Stone cobbles lead from a wrought-iron gate to an empty expanse of green lawn.  Borders of waxy green boxwood interspersed with pale yellow roses hem in either side of the path.  Close-cropped grass stretches away from the borders towards a stone wall.  You also see a silver bell with a long silken rope, a sign you really should READ, a very important placard and a donation bin.
Also here: Niseg, Makkyver, Lord Kabann, Izler, Ardwen, Vanthar, Azorack, Shadowmaiden, Ruffelin, Drallen, Journeyman Lomondil, Kedryn, Aedynh, Avidleigh, Evelle, Sistermarie, Mentor Trainer Joter, Lord Nindy, Triena, Jadex who is seated, Kieliah who is seated, Gunyan, the Legendary Durason, Alisaire, Seesfar, High Lady Nephrenia, Lord Jullius, Guilliomme who is seated, Mikare, Delyorik

You cough.

Nindy strokes his gold-bellied lizard behind its little eye ridges, and the creature hums contentedly.  Then, just to show how much it cares, the lizard turns its head and gives Nindy's finger an affectionate bite.

Seesfar surveys the area.

Nindy removes a twisted black fel staff from in his long black cloak.

Nindy leans on his staff.

Nephrenia asks, "Hmm?"

The Symbol of Thought begins to burn in your mind and you hear Jullius thinking, "Greetings friends.  I come here because we are in need.  We are in need of all who can join us in the performance of a ritual in attempt to bring back what was taken from us.  If ye are an able body and willing please come to the site of the Silver"

Your mind tingles with Sistermarie's thoughts, "I be in the courtyard.  I would like to see what Anilas says."

Seesfar recites:
    "Over the past few nights, Silverwood manor came under attack by strange storms"

Joter slings an empath crested iron shield over his shoulder.

    "Eve before last, the storm struck again, and Silverwood manor disappeared"

You glance at Anilas.

You see Anilas Elril-Galith the Elf.
He appears to be in his 140's, has long, braided silver hair, violet eyes, and tanned skin.
He has several cuts and abrasions all about his exposed skin, and some grazing claw marks on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing some leather sandals, a blue veniom-worked satchel, and a floor-length cerulean damask robe cinched with a length of silver-white silk.

Sistermarie just tried to pull Anilas towards her!

Sistermarie says, "There"

Ylena says, "I didn't touch him.. my nails aren't that long."

Seesfar says, "emm, my mistake, tome"

Seesfar gazes up into the heavens.

(Sistermarie brushes the dust off Anilas.)

Ilvane gawks at Anilas.

Sistermarie gawks at Anilas.

Jullius groans at Anilas.

Arimantis asks, "Attacked by whats?"

Anilas says, "I didn't see it... a orc band, or something else, I know not."

    "All we have learned is the tome contained great magik that caused the Manor to disappear"

Sistermarie asks, "Were they singing?"

Sistermarie glances at Anilas.

Joter rubs Anilas gently.

Pyrocite says, "Wouldn't that be something."

Seesfar says, "quite please"

Pyrocite chuckles.

Mystra just kissed Dagor.

Pyrocite runs her hand softly over the surface of her crimson glaes symbol.  A crimson glow surrounds the symbol as its surface shimmers for a moment with the image of a black jackal's head on a field of gold.

Spaewife asks, "was there something special within your belongings?"

Dagor says, "Lo Ruffles"

Seesfar says, "let Anilas speak so that we may learn more"

Anilas says, "All I could save was my traveling satchel, and the precious relic within which I fear they were after."

Seesfar says, "We will do what we can to aide you Anilas"

Anilas says, "No, I have not, I was just on my way this evening returning for the Ritual but I fear..."

Anilas says, "Something knew I was coming."

Seesfar scowls.

Delyorik says, "Or someone."

Ilvane says, "Well, we did tell everyone to come."

Ilvane says, "I don't know how they couldn't."

Mystra asks, "Wha' sort of somethin'?"

Spaewife asks, "something or someone?"

Spaewife peers quizzically at Anilas.

Anilas says, "Perhaps."

Anilas slowly empties his lungs.

Ilvane just hugged Mystra.

Nindy snickers.

Anilas says, "Thank you."

Pyrocite glances at you.

Spaewife nods to Sistermarie.

Pyrocite laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Anilas says, "I fear I might not be up to strength to attempt the Rituals this evening..."

Anilas says, "But let me tell you about them."

Mystra nods to Dagor.

Antalya nods to Dagor.

Anilas says, "When I was searching for a solution to the rogue Lorekeeper's doing, I stumbled across a tale in one of our tomes."

Mystra turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Indica turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Ionica just left.

Anilas says, "The tale was about an noble Faendryl Lady from old Ta'Faendryl."

Ilvane leans on Sistermarie.

Anilas takes a drink from his clear spring water.

Anilas slowly empties his lungs.

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Pyrocite nods to Antalya.

Antalya nods to Sistermarie.

Anilas says, "The woman was abit too full in her head for her own doing."

Seesfar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "She sought out powerful magic on purpose, and tried to claim it as her own."

Antalya nods to Dagor.

Anilas says, "If she could not find the powerful magic to do what she wanted..."

Anilas says, "She would forge it herself."

Anilas says, "The Enchantress did just that."

Jullius nods to Anilas.

Anilas says, "Below this Enchantress was a following, if you will.

Ilvane rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "She formed her own cult, even, in the dark warehouses and underground caves of the city."

Pyrocite mumbles something that you don't quite catch.

Mystra touches one finger to her lips.

Jaxia just arrived.

Jaxia covers her eyes with her hands.

Anilas says, "The city guard and the Partiarch didn't like this cult brewing, as no right Faendryl should worship anyone.  But the Enchantress didn't care what he had to say."

Delyorik says, "Listen closely, folks.  Anilas has an intriguing tale."

Anilas says, "To prevent her following from being caught, the Enchantress set to work."

Spaewife rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Spaewife turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Anilas says, "She would forge herself a powerful relic to transport her entire cult with the simplest of ease."

Antalya laughs!

Gowain's group just went out.

Antalya smiles at you.

Gowain's group just arrived.

Seesfar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "She called this relic the Vebril Mirror."

Ylena asks, "Oooh, a mirror?"

Delyorik nods to Anilas.

Anilas nods to Ylena.

Ilvane grins at Ylena.

Sistermarie just nudged Ylena.

Antalya grins at Ylena.

Mystra put a white ivory framed mirror in her claret velvet bodice.

Ilvane turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Anilas says, "It has the ability to pull anything, pebbles, rocks, trees or even... people into its glassy surface."

Seesfar frowns.

Ionica asks, "Even, manors?"

Antalya shudders.

Delyorik says, "Folks, I know this need not be said, but quiet tongues and lesser actions will lend to an easier telling."

Anilas says, "Yes, even manors."

Jullius says, "Sounds like the old mirror in Anwyn Castle."

Anilas nods to Ionica.

Pyrocite says, "That one just likes people."

Pyrocite nods to Jullius.

Pyrocite stares off into space.

Anilas says, "However, the Faendryl Enchantress had a small problem..."

Anilas says, "She was able to have things absorbed and stored into the mirror..."

You whisper, "wow, that sounds like fun...suck me into a bubble!" to your group.

Anilas says, "But she could not extract them."

Anilas says, "This lead to some... messy situations, if you can imagine."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Anilas smiles.

Gowain scratches his chin.

Anilas says, "So the Enchantress searched among her tomes, and then crept to the Library at night..."

Anilas says, "She broke her way into the ancient, rare tomes and read nights upon nights."

Sistermarie just tickled you.

Anilas says, "Finally, she found her answer."

Anilas slowly empties his lungs.

Anilas says, "The answer to her problem lied in an even more magic than her collection."

You grumble.

Anilas says, "Please... move as a rock if you can, the moving around is making me more dizzy."

Anilas says, "Where was I..."

Anilas furrows his brow.

Spaewife nods to Seesfar.

Anilas says, "Oh, right."

Anilas nods.

Mystra says, "Somewhere closer to a name and an answer I trust."

Mystra nods to Anilas.

Anilas says, "She found a ritual created by an older Shamaness used in her tribe."

Anilas says, "The Ritual of Origin."

Spaewife blinks.

Spaewife peers quizzically at Anilas.

Gowain's group just went out.

Seesfar rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Gowain's group just arrived.

Anilas says, "This Ritual allowed anything to extracted, moved, or placed within any object, dimension or existence."

Ylena gasps.

Gowain mutters veil.

Ylena asks, "You could move anything anywhere with it?"

Ilvane rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Spaewife blinks.

Anilas says, "The main potent of this magic was to retrieve... things from objects."

Spaewife says, "thats a scary but facinating thought"

Anilas raises an eyebrow.

Ilvane asks, "Like a mirrored world?"

Ilvane blinks at Anilas.

Jullius nods to Anilas.

Anilas nods to Ilvane.

Anilas says, "Like a mirrored world."

Ilvane nods.

Spaewife says, "hmm "

Seesfar frowns.

Joter rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "Ah, but the mirror does..."

Spaewife says, "or like a building in a say snow globe"

Ilvane asks, "So we would pull the manor from this mirrored world?"

Ilvane rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "You see, this Ritual can only move things once, and within a short distance."

Ilvane says, "If that is where it is.."

Ilvane nods to Anilas.

Jullius says, "So the manor is near by."

Anilas says, "The Mirror can store infinite amount of mass, and travel as easiyl as a pocket mirror."

Spaewife asks, "how short of a distance?"

Spaewife peers quizzically at Anilas.

Seesfar gazes up into the heavens.

Ilvane grumbles.

Arimantis just kissed Ilvane on the nose.

Anilas slowly empties his lungs.

Anilas asks, "Does anyone have a spot of water on them?"

Gowain removes some pure spring water from in his black hooded greatcloak.

Arimantis removes some golden malt whiskey from in his spidersilk vestment.

Gowain offers Anilas some pure spring water.

Anilas says, "Ah."

Anilas accepts Gowain's pure spring water.

Gowain nods to Anilas.

Anilas says, "Please, settle down again... my tale is long but is almost over."

Mystra says, "Why shuld we think it nae goin' anywhere? The whole dern mannor evaporated."

Mystra says, "and the manor too"

Mystra coughs.

Joter asks, "Anilas, couldn't anything that was taken into the 'mirror' be takn out again?"

Anilas says, "So with Ritual instructions in hand, and mirror in the other, the Faendryl Enchantress moved her cult around the country-side in stealth."

Anilas says, "The mirror was limited."

Alisanne just went out.

Anilas says, "It can absorbed and take anything into it, of any mass..."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Spaewife rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Clerac put a sign you really should READ in his white silk longcoat.

Seesfar sighs.

Gowain grins at Clerac.

Ilvane beams happily at Clerac!

Arimantis grins at Clerac.

Ilvane giggles.

Clerac leans on his staff.

Anilas says, "But it has a limited use on it, with each item it absorbed.. the crystals grew more dull."

Pyrocite grins.

Antalya beams happily at Clerac!

Sistermarie's jaw drops.

Anilas says, "And with the mirror, it was only one way... thus the Ritual."

Ilvane just gave Clerac a smooch.

Gowain's group just went out.

Seesfar says, "shhh"

Gowain's group just arrived.

Clerac declines Nindy's offer.

Clerac says, "Not 'til my door returns."

Clerac grumbles.

Anilas says, "Unfortunately for the Enchantress, her cult did not last long."

Sistermarie just nudged Clerac.

You whisper, "oh my god...clerac refuesd a drink" to your group.

Mystra glances at Anilas.

Spaewife rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Antalya's jaw drops.

Spaewife says, "hmm"

Mystra asks, "wha' does tha' mean? Her cult dinnae 'last' long?"

Anilas asks, "I couldn't imagine being stuffed into a mirror everytime a constable would come down the trail, would you?"

Clerac whispers to the group, "They go for the bell I'm drawing blood."

Antalya grins at Clerac.

Ilvane whispers to the group, "Heh"

Anilas says, "When the cult dispanded, the Enchantress fell out of her noble power."

Pyrocite whispers to the group, "As well you should. Limbs everywhere, no blood on me, if you please."

Jullius whispers to the group, "Hehe."

Anilas says, "And the mirror, and Ritual text was lost..."

Spaewife rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Seesfar sighs.

Anilas says, "Until a few years ago."

Spaewife says, "so if you can go into the mirror"

Nindy put a snifter of 75 year old cognac in his ale-stained satchel.

Spaewife says, "you can bring yourself out"

Anilas says, "The Order of Lorekeepers in the Eastern hubs found both the mirror and the Ritual texts."

Nindy waves a hand at Clerac, dismissing him indifferently.

Clerac mutters under his breath.

Nindy grins drunkenly.

Anilas says, "It is with these items that I will bring back the safety and security of the Lore in Western Elanith."

Gowain asks, "but how?"

Anilas says, "This is my plan..."

Gowain turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Joter turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Spaewife turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Xulia scratches her ear.

Jullius raises an eyebrow in Anilas's direction.

Anilas removes an antiqued golden mirror inset with sapphire-hued jewels from in his veniom-worked satchel.

Jullius slowly empties his lungs.

Pale moonbeams glint off the jewels, washing everyone nearby in an oceanic blue.

Ilvane blinks at Anilas.

Ylena says, "Ooooooh..."

Anilas gazes at his mirror.

Ilvane says, "How pretty."

Anilas smiles.

Nofret closes her eyes for a moment.

Ylena says, "I would keep that very safe for you."

Ylena nods to Anilas.

Anilas says, "I do need assistance, beyond the circle..."

Anilas says, "I have heard of a tale..."

Nofret says, "Put it away before you get killed."

Jullius nods to Anilas.

Gowain asks, "is that the Verbil Mirror?"

Seesfar says, "shhh"

Anilas says, "A crystal that has the power to create... worlds within it."

Spaewife rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Ilvane nods to Anilas.

Arimantis scratches his head.

Ilvane says, "I am aware of a world like that myself."

Ilvane blinks at Anilas.

Anilas says, "From my sources.."

Anilas says, "There is a organization nearby in control of this crystal.  The Grey Winds."

Ilvane nods to Anilas.

Nephrenia nods.

Ilvane says, "Yes sir."

Anilas gazes fondly at Ilvane.

Anilas asks, "Do you know of this place?"

Nephrenia says, "Yes there is.  The executive officer is right there."

Nephrenia points at Ilvane.

Ilvane says, "I am the Executive officer of it."

Nephrenia chuckles.

Ilvane nods.

Anilas gasps.

Anilas says, "Then I have a task for you."

Anilas nods to Ilvane.

Ilvane says, "What can I do."

Ilvane says, "Anything you need."

Seesfar smiles at Ilvane.

Ilvane says, "As long as it brings back our manor to us."

Seesfar nods.

Anilas says, "This is my plan..."

Anilas says, "I am in need of this crystal."

Ilvane nods to Anilas.

Arimantis asks, "This gonna be a dangerous task?"

Arimantis squints at Anilas.

Ilvane says, "I'm afraid there is only one place to get that crystal."

Ilvane says, "And it can't be removed from that place."

Anilas smiles at Ilvane.

Anilas says, "Oh, but it can, and I know of a way."

Anilas says, "My plan is to use the mirror, to draw forth an image of safety and security into the Vebril mirror."

Ilvane rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Anilas says, "And then I will conduct the Ritual of Origin to bring

Ilvane smiles at Anilas.

Gowain asks, "so then, the Manor as we know it, is gone beyond hope?"

Spaewife says, "it may work"

Spaewife nods.

Anilas says, "But your part is necessary for this to succeed."

Anilas says, "Each and every one of you."

Anilas says, "Especially you."

Nofret asks, "And how long will this take, assuming it works?"

Anilas smiles at Ilvane.

Seesfar turns an inquisitive ear towards Anilas.

Ilvane asks, "Being an elder Lorekeeper, you would not betray us..would you?"

Delyorik just went east.

Anilas smiles at Ilvane.

Anilas says, "Of course not, my oath stands for all."

Ilvane nods.

Ilvane giggles.

Pyrocite begins chuckling at Nindy.

Arimantis shifts his weight.

Anilas says, "Because of the unfortunate incident on the trail, I will need two days hence to prepare for the Ritual, and gather new supplies."

Delyorik just arrived.

Ilvane smiles.

Gowain's group just went out.

Ylena asks, "Do you need any help with the gathering?"

Gowain's group just arrived.

Dagor says, "Aye well... is ahrd to trust after all we hae seen"

Anilas says, "Unfortunately, no.  I can retrieve them myself."

Anilas put an antiqued golden mirror inset with sapphire-hued jewels in his veniom-worked satchel.

Ilvane says, "If he doesn't know how to wield the mist..it is useless."

Ilvane nods to Dagor.

Gowain asks, "what may prevent you from being attacked, and these items taken as well?"

Anilas says, "I ask this of you..."

Clerac whispers to the group, "Perhaps we should arrange an escort for our guest?"

Jullius nods to Clerac.

You whisper, "we offered last time and were declined" to your group.

Jullius says, "Anilas, let some of us escort thee this time."

Spaewife says, "ask"

Arimantis nods to Anilas.

Seesfar says, "Sire Anilas, with your permission, I would offer a escort for yer safety"

Jullius says, "Ye obviously need protection."

Antalya nods to Jullius.

Jullius says, "For our sakes nae just thine."

Anilas says, "On the eve of Niiman, gather your friends and family here once again."

Ilvane nods to Seesfar.

Anilas says, "On the same hour."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Spaewife nods to Anilas.

Anilas says, "I will be escorted here by this lovely lady..."

Anilas points at Ilvane.

Gowain snickers.

Ilvane blushes a delicate shade of pink.

You whisper, "now we're really doomed" to your group.

Jullius groans.

Ilvane stares at you.

Arimantis glances at you.

Anilas says, "With your help..."

Sistermarie just nudged you.

Jullius asks, "If we insist?"

Jullius glances at Anilas.

Anilas says, "We will draw from the Eldritch Crystal what we need, and then we will bring it out of its world..."

Anilas says, "Into ours."

Clerac glances at Pyrocite.

Seesfar shakes his head.

Clerac leans on his staff.

Anilas says, "I ask this of you..."

Anilas says, "Speak not of the mirror you have seen."

Jullius says, "Too much rides on this to ha'e just one escort thee Anilas."

Nindy says, "Goods luck"

Nindy rolls his eyes.

Ilvane says, "I am merely trying to retrieve our Manor."

Anilas says, "What has attacked me tonight might attack again."

Ilvane stands up.

Anilas says, "And it is after the relic."

Nofret says, "Considering the vast numbers of people here, I think it unlikely that it will remain a secret."

Pyrocite laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Anilas says, "The purpose is simple."

Spaewife just touched a silver Zelia symbol.

Ylena says, "Anilas, that was the best way to be sure it won't be a secret."

Spaewife giggles.

Ylena sighs.

Lorekeeper Ionica just went out.

Seesfar gazes up into the heavens.

Joter says, "Anilas, as a Lorekeeper and an Empath may I go with you?  You may need me."

Anilas says, "To bring a foundation of a haven of Lore to the Western

Gowain says, "ok , so I understand whats gonna happen, you are going to forgo this occurance with our old manor, and bring a new manor from the crystal, corect? what then will prevent this -rogue- as you named her, from stealing the new away as well? She seems to me, to desie to be stopped"

Ilvane smiles.

Nindy says, "Doubtful."

Nindy nods to Nephrenia.

Anilas takes a drink from his pure spring water.

Anilas says, "So upon two days forward, on Niiman, on the ten and a half strike of the Elven clock..."

Anilas says, "We shall arrive here."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Ilvane giggles.

Arimantis says, "An.. Im wonderin why ya say it is safe.. yet you are worried bout them tryin ta get it again"

Spaewife nods to Anilas.

Arimantis glances at Anilas.

Anilas says, "However, I will need to meet with this lovely Lady and her organization prior to... bring the Crystal."

Anilas smiles at Ilvane.

Dagor says, "With luck an assumin ye na attacked agin"

Jullius groans.

Anilas says, "My intent is simple, to restore what was lost."

Anilas asks, "Yes?"

Seesfar says, "All, please forgive us for the extra time it will take to prepare for the ritual"

Anilas says, "Yes."

Anilas says, "After we have completed the ritual here."

Anilas says, "We will travel to Icemule.."

Ilvane nods.

Anilas says, "I will need an escort for that."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Sistermarie asks, "Do ye nay need to travel there this eve?"

Sistermarie cocks her head at Anilas.

Nofret says, "The fact that he has shown us A mirror proves nothing."

Gowain says, "so while we are all off in Icemule, she can walk back here and take the new creation, bravo"

Anilas says, "I will use the mirror to extract an image from the crystal, and then the Ritual will move it from the mirror into our world."

Ilvane says, "It's what is behind the mirror, not the mirror itself."

Nofret says, "Blood sacrifices, I suspect."

Nephrenia asks, "Buffer if the ex-lorekeeper comes back.  Everyone is expendable?"

Seesfar stands up.

Nephrenia snickers.

Arimantis asks, "Sweetie.. how ya know he don just want yer crystal?"

Arimantis glances at Ilvane.

Anilas asks, "Why do you claim such?"

Clerac says, "I suggest you learn to exercise a bit of respect, it would serve you well."

Clerac grumbles.

Pyrocite whispers to the group, "Uhoh, got a loud one. Still up for delimbing, Clerac?"

Pyrocite grins slowly.

Gowain seems to be in a different place than you remember.

Seesfar says, "All, hear my words and take them as you will"

Anilas says, "We will do the ritual in two nights.  No more attempts to stop it will happen, even if it means death."

Clerac whispers to the group, "Do not cross a doorman with no door."

Ilvane grins at Clerac.

Anilas takes a drink from his pure spring water.

Pyrocite clasps her hand over her mouth.

Seesfar says, "I will stand with Anilas no matter what, use your hearts and your heads to make up your own minds"

Anilas smiles at Seesfar.

Ilvane nods to Seesfar.

Nofret says, "I don't like the fact that he wants the Eldritch Crystal--and it belongs to another organization altogether."

Spaewife says, "well we all know my mind is a bit umm...touched"

Arimantis glances at Anilas.

Arimantis smirks.

Seesfar says, "If you wish to aide us and him, then so be it, If you can not find it in yourselves, no one will think the less of you"

Anilas says, "I will be controlling the mirror, and the ritual... it is my purpose to restore what was taken."

Spaewife says, "but till proven otherwise i'll trust em"

Gowain works his fingers under his fierce dragon cap and scratches his head.

Nofret says, "Describe the ritual, please, and our part in it."

Spaewife says, "and if he lies well. then i'll have fun practicin more skinning"

Spaewife taps a witchwood hilted skinning knife.

Anilas says, "I did not expect to be mugged upon the trail here..."

Ilvane nods to Anilas.

Ilvane says, "You can't expect that."

Anilas says, "I will be here, and I hope every one of you will be too."

Nofret says, "I mislike this much. "

Gowain says, "and there is only one sure way to gaurentee this occurance will not be repeated to confront the witch and shatter her mirror"

Seesfar bows to Anilas.

Nindy says, "Coun' on me beins at d'bar."

Nindy shrugs.

Nindy stands up.

Anilas says, "For now, I must go rest and then retrieve supplies and some more things."

Nindy is no longer officially acting as a Mentor.

Ylena nods.

Ilvane nods.

Nofret asks, "Could I loresing the mirror?"

Lorekeeper Dagor just went east.

Anilas asks, "Lady, would you care to escort me to the nearest Inn?"

Ilvane grins.

Anilas peers quizzically at Ilvane.

Seesfar says, "Joter, I ask you and your party to carry the word to Icemule on what has transpired here"

Ilvane nods.

Spaewife says, "he's a dark one he'd know how that enchantress'es mind would work"

Ilvane leaves your group.

Lorekeeper Ylena just went east.

Anilas nods to Ilvane.

Ilvane clasps Anilas's hand tenderly.

Joter says, "I will, I feel sorry for my wife."

Ilvane says, "Good night everyone."

Anilas says, "Please, spread the word..."

Seesfar nods to Anilas.

Nindy asks, "Spread d'word?"

Anilas says, "Upon Niiman, at the ten and a half mark of the Elven clock."

Nindy asks, "I'se thought we were s'posed t'be quiets?"

Nofret exclaims, "Spread the word? But you said to tell no one of this!"

Nindy looks rather confused.

Anilas says, "The Havens of Lore will be restored."

Nindy nods to Nofret.

Anilas nods to Ilvane.

Seesfar bows to Anilas.

Mentor Trainer Ilvane's group just went east.

Clerac wrings his hands.

Sistermarie rubs Clerac gently.

Spaewife rubs Clerac gently.

Nofret says, "He left."

Sistermarie says, "You will get your door back soon."

Sistermarie nods to Clerac.

Clerac smiles.

Spaewife says, "we'll get the manor and yer ale back Clerac"

Seesfar says, "was nay due to his stubborness, you saw his wounds as we all did"

Arimantis whispers to the group, "bah.. I don trust him one lil bit"

Nindy glances at Clerac.

Sistermarie says, "We are to return in two days."

Nindy says, "Let's go gets drunk."

Nindy nods to Clerac.

Gowain says, "I will be on the road to Ta'Vallor two days hence, I trust that all will be well upon my return"

Antalya says, "I'm glad you did not disappear along with your door, Clerac."

Antalya shudders.

Clerac glances at you.

Sistermarie works her fingers under her engraved silver circlet and scratches her head.

Sistermarie smiles as she fluffs out her flaming red hair and pulls out a key.

Arimantis stares at you.

Spaewife nods to Antalya.

Gowain says, "good eve to you all"

Gowain's group just went out.

Lorekeeper Nofret just went out.

Arimantis stands up.

Sistermarie blushes a lovely shade of bright pink.

Clerac whispers to the group, "Dies?"

Joter recites:
    "Lorekeepers going to Icemule on Zosopage of the Northern Furies please.  They came all this way to help us and will escort us back."

Arimantis stares off into space.

Seesfar recites:
    "My friends and neighbors, again i thank you for coming this eve, please bear with us in these trying times"

Seesfar recites:
    "If you so wish, please join us again"

Nephrenia says, "Excuse me."
