Glowing Darju of Doom

[Seth Ventril]

Ok, here's the dealio. This all happened at around the time of 3pm.

Kinda long and jumbled, but I did my best.

Ghi Kada Gul says, "I must confess, there are dangers in this world which lie at the cusp of spilling into the ordinary lives of many, but that is why I am here with my companions, to deter this danger."
Mellie Knight turns to you and says, "He glows."
Mellie Knight points at Ghi Kada Gul.
You glance at Ghi Kada Gul.
Mellie Knight says, "Oh great."
Mellie Knight says, "See."
Mellie Knight says, "Dangers."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Mellie Knight.
Mellie Knight says, "Last time there were dangers, I was coughing up black shit for days."
Mellie Knight folds her arms across her chest.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "Surely you are accustomed to danger."
Anifaust Amresh says, "The arrival of many good guys isn't always a GOOD sign."
Mellie Knight says, "Unfortunately."
You say, "Last time there was dangers I got charged with Treason."
You stare blankly into the distance.
Ghi Kada Gul turns to Anifaust Amresh and says, "It does exceed the alternative."


You see The Fabled Ghi Kada Gul, a Darju Arch Wizard.
He has pure white eyes and an ashen complexion marked with dark golden bands.
He is bald.
He has a well aged and kindly face.
He has a lithe build.
He is surrounded by a constant but faint silvery glow.
He stands about 6' 6" tall, and seems to be timeless for a Darju.

He is not holding anything.
He is wearing a slouched white and gold wizard's hat, a long white robe with decorative golden trim adorned with peculiar silver sigils, an ocia ring covered with faintly glowing silver runes, a pair of modest sandals, a rugged traveler's haversack, and a masterfully crafted ghimra detailed with ornate representations of violent acts of nature.


Anifaust Amresh says, "True."
Anifaust Amresh grins at Ghi Kada Gul.
An aging technician strolls west.
The color fades from the locksmith's tote for a moment, as the image of the hologram decays into black and white static.

[Llanfair, Sihil Garden]
This beautiful garden is partially enclosed by curved ivy-covered walls. There are two gaps to the east and west. On the north wall, you notice a small waterfall. Oddly, the water crashes to the ground and immediately dissipates. Arranged in no particular pattern, a large variety of blooming flowers line the narrow walkway that passes through. You notice the sweet smell carried in on the cool air as you take a deep breath.

As you take note of your surroundings, you discover that the air has a sweet smell to it.

You also see a small shop with a beaded doorway, an iridescent silver chovn who is flying and a champagne chovn who is flying.
Also here is The Fabled Ghi Kada Gul who is sitting, The Merc Anifaust Amresh, and Chief Warrant Officer Mellie Knight.
You notice exits leading east and west.
You ponder.
Mellie Knight gazes at you.
Mellie Knight says, "Oh."
Mellie Knight says, "Right."
Mellie Knight says, "In a nutshell."
A gust of wind seems to slip from under Ghi Kada Gul's hat, pass through his robe, rustle the leaves around him, then return to his slouched hat.
Mellie Knight says, "He glows, that thunder is footsteps which lets face it, thats some seriously big people and they are following him."
Mellie Knight says, "Or lots of people."
Ghi Kada Gul ponders.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "They are my size, more or less."
You say, "Ok. So wait."
Anifaust Amresh says, "Her interpretation skills need some work still."
Mellie Knight says, "Then that means lots and lots of them."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
You say, "Cause I really hate when I have to use reason."
You say, "Glowey Darju appears."
You say, "He thunder when he walks."
You say, "He warns of danger."
An aging technician strolls in.
You ask, "We believe him?"
Mellie Knight says, "He glows."
Mellie Knight says, "Of course we do."
Anifaust Amresh says, "His buddies thunder when they walk, because there's so many of them."
You ponder.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "I am not here to warn you. I simply warn you because you are here."
Mellie Knight says, "I'd take him home if I could get away with it."
Anifaust Amresh says, "We found you, you didn't find us."
Mellie Knight looks at Ghi Kada Gul with a wishful look.
Anifaust Amresh nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
Anifaust Amresh turns on his remote for a few seconds.
Mellie Knight squeals and jumps back with a start, her eyes begin to glaze over as her face blushes deep red and she becomes completely subdued.
Anifaust Amresh says, "Down woman."
Mellie Knight is no longer stunned.
Mellie Knight suddenly faints!
You turn to Mellie Knight and say, "I can produce the same effect with a rigged comm and batteries."
Anifaust Amresh grins at you.
You glance at Ghi Kada Gul.
Ghi Kada Gul raises his eyebrow at you.
Mellie Knight sits up.
Mellie Knight just bit Anifaust Amresh!
An aging technician wanders off.
Mellie Knight jumps to her feet!
Anifaust Amresh asks, "May we ask where you and your bretheren are from?"
Ghi Kada Gul says, "Isn't it obvious? We reside in the Plane of Air."
A little Human boy looks around with interest.
You ponder.
Mellie Knight says, "I've never been there."
Anifaust Amresh says, "Don't believe I've ever met anyone from another Plane before."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Mellie Knight.
Mellie Knight says, "I've been to the hiepharedic altar though. Its like... HOT."
Ghi Kada Gul says, "I know not many of here have been to the Plane, but I admit I am surprised it is such a mystery to you."
You say, "I hunt elementals for fun so..."
Anifaust Amresh says, "You're talking to the wrong man about magic and plane knowledge."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
You say, "I'm not so shocked."
A little Human boy glances around as if he heard someone talking to him, but shrugs it off.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "That ... is the reason we are here. That place - the Plane of Fire - is corrupt."
Mellie Knight snickers at Anifaust Amresh.
Mellie Knight says, "But watching you blow your head up with magic is fun."
Mellie Knight looks at Anifaust Amresh and hums a soft tune.
Mellie Knight asks, "Wait, what?"
Mellie Knight gazes at Ghi Kada Gul.
You say, "And here, I woulda put all my money on something with the plane of shadow."
Mellie Knight says, "See! Turn the mages of Llanfair loose on something and it corrupts."
Ghi Kada Gul chuckles.
A little Human boy brushes off his ragged shirt.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "It is not your mages. It is the Asai, who corrupt both the element and the spirit."
You blink.
You ask, "The asai?"
Ghi Kada Gul ponders.
Mellie Knight says, "Oh our mages are corrupt, trust me."
Mellie Knight nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
Anifaust Amresh laughs!
Ghi Kada Gul says, "You are a Human, have you heard tales of ... I am searching for the word ..."
A little Human boy brushes off his ragged shirt.
You say, "Not to mention...If you take a look at their behavior, you'd be surprised the lot of 'em can handle a cantrip."
You grumble under your breath.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "Tales of daemons? I believe that is the word, a Human concept."
You say, "Oh finally...My old world theology comes in use some where."
Mellie Knight says, "Explain."
Mellie Knight just smacked you on the back of the head!
You say, "Yeah. Demons and Angels."
A little Human boy stretches out and yawns.
You say, "Ow."
Ghi Kada Gul says, "The Asai are evil-ridden inhabitants of the Plane of Fire, who would devour all existence if such were in their reach."
Mellie Knight exclaims, "See!"
Mellie Knight says, "Danger."
Mellie Knight rocks on her heels.
Anifaust Amresh shrugs.
You say, "Yeah but..."
Anifaust Amresh says, "Evil stuff to nuke, I'm in."
You say, "This guy shows up out of no where."
You ask, "Or no air?"
You cackle with glee.
Mellie Knight says, "Hardy har har."
Mellie Knight leans on you.
You say, "Sorry for the *pun*ishment."
You say, "But really..."
A little Human boy looks around with interest.
You turn to Ghi Kada Gul and say, "And no offense..."
You ask, "We're just gonna take his word on everything?"
Mellie Knight says, "He glows."
Mellie Knight nods to you.
Ghi Kada Gul turns to you and says, "Pride is not in my nature."
You ask, "What if he's just some loon what escaped from a crazy bin?"
Anifaust Amresh says, "I heard my walls vibrating, and it wasn't cause I did it."
Anifaust Amresh folds his arms across his chest.
Mellie Knight says, "He glows."
Mellie Knight shrugs.
Mellie Knight says, "No, you weren't snoring at the time."
Mellie Knight sticks her tongue out teasingly at Anifaust Amresh.
You ask, "What if all this is true...But it's the plane of air that's corrupt, and they want something from the plane of fire!?"
A little Human boy looks around with interest.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "I suppose it depends on your concept of morality."
You stare blankly into the distance.
Mellie Knight says, "Seth, if someone dropped a newborn at your feet you would try to figure out what was wrong with it before you took care of it."
Mellie Knight pats you on the back.
A very young wanderer strolls in.
You say, "A baby is much much more different than a glowing Darju claiming to be from the planes of air."
You say, "That was a horrid analogy, Mellie."
Aroai rises from the western horizon.
An elderly courier strolls in.
Mellie Knight says, "Its true though."
A little Human boy heads east.
An elderly courier strolls east.
Ghi Kada Gul says, "If devouring the flesh of the innocent and chaining the souls of the fallen to one's desires for power, feeding upon the threads of their essence as they wail in torment for thousands of ages until no more of such soul remains ... then, yes, the Asai are evil."
Mellie Knight says, "Ok, lets look at facts."
Mellie Knight leans on you.
A very young wanderer strolls west.
You ponder.
Mellie Knight says, "He glows, he doesn't look evil, and there are thunderous footsteps following him."
Anifaust Amresh says, "We need a good population clensing every now and again."
Anifaust Amresh looks over to Ghi Kada Gul and shrugs.
You give Anifaust Amresh a high-five.
You say, "Ok stop."
You ask, "Why does glowing make someone good?"
Ghi Kada Gul raises his eyebrow at Anifaust Amresh.
Mellie Knight says, "Both of you should shoot when asked and stay quiet."
Mellie Knight nods to Anifaust Amresh.
Mellie Knight nods to you.
Anifaust Amresh stands next to Mellie Knight.
You ask, "All I gotta do to get my record at the Trooper HQ nulled is start glowing?"
Ghi Kada Gul turns to Anifaust Amresh and says, "I pray I am not forced to cleanse you from this world for such thoughts."
Mellie Knight says, "See! He is good."
Mellie Knight says, "Evil people agree with The Merc."
Mellie Knight folds her arms across her chest.
You say, "I cleanse people from the world for simply existing."
A very young wanderer strolls in.
You say, "That doesn't make me good."
Anifaust Amresh grins at Mellie Knight.
Anifaust Amresh says, "You agree with me most of the time."
Mellie Knight places her hand over Anifaust Amresh's mouth.
Ghi Kada Gul stands up.
Mellie Knight asks, "What did I say about staying quiet till shooting time?"
Mellie Knight kisses Anifaust Amresh on the nose.
A brown hooded aiba squeaks in his sleep.
A champagne chovn cries out with a series of playful chirps.
You say, "If the cause is..."
You ponder.
Ghi Kada Gul turns to you and says, "You reek of evil."
Anifaust Amresh says, "I apologize, as a mercenary I find humor in most anythting."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
Mellie Knight agrees with Ghi Kada Gul.
Mellie Knight says, "Yeah, he does."
You turn to Ghi Kada Gul and say, "And your glow hurts my eyes."


The sky crackles with energy and dark clouds roll into view as a mighty bolt of lightning issues forth and darts in your direction!
Mortally wounded, you release a final sigh and succumb to the cold embrace of death.
You've died! You'll either have to wait until a Medic comes to help you or type RESTORE to be restored from a copy of your genetic image.

Your last image was taken 1 day, 6 hours, 7 minutes, and 12 seconds ago.
If you were to roll back to this image, you would lose 9371 experience points and 0 levels.


Anifaust Amresh whistles.
Mellie Knight exclaims, "See! I told you! Lightning!"
Mellie Knight gives Anifaust Amresh a high-five.
The core temperature of your body slowly declines as algor mortis sets in.
[You have 45 minutes before your body auto decays and forces a restore.]


You seem to have complete loss of muscle control.
You have a completely destroyed head, a completely destroyed left eye, a completely destroyed right eye, a completely destroyed neck, a completely destroyed chest, a completely destroyed back, a completely destroyed abdomen, a completely destroyed left arm, a completely destroyed right arm, a completely destroyed left hand, a completely destroyed right hand, a completely destroyed left leg, a completely destroyed right leg, a completely destroyed left foot, and a completely destroyed right foot.

Bleeding Locations:

Head: Extreme
Left Eye: Extreme
Right Eye: Extreme
Neck: Extreme
Chest: Extreme
Back: Extreme
Abdomen: Extreme
Left Arm: Extreme
Right Arm: Extreme
Left Hand: Extreme
Right Hand: Extreme
Left Leg: Extreme
Right Leg: Extreme
Left Foot: Extreme
Right Foot: Extreme

You are dead and completely exhausted.
Your inner focus is nearly fully spent.

Anifaust Amresh gazes up.
Ghi Kada Gul turns to you and says, "I deliver you unto judgment. May your existence find virtue."
Ghi Kada Gul says, "I must go, I have rested long enough. Please be well."
Anifaust Amresh nods to Ghi Kada Gul.
Ghi Kada Gul steps up into the sky as if walking on stairs, and disappears into the clouds.

So then this happens:

You also see an Asai reaper and an alajsh hunter.
You notice exits leading southwest and west.
>
An alajsh hunter tiptoes in.
>
You feel the presence of Anifaust Amresh nearby for a brief moment.
>l reap
This infernal undead warrior is imbued with the element of fire which seems to mend cracks in its brittle bones. The dull glow of a spark of fire stares from its empty eye sockets.

Yeah, he royally kicked my ass. Like, in a bad way.

*Edit* I am in utter anticipation of where this is going.

Heh, someone's been reading too much of Elizabeth Haydon's Symphony of Ages. Sounds really cool though, will be fun to see where it goes.


*minor side note* Whatever happened with the Darju mob, burning of the darju sector, ghosts talking to Wei, etc event? Was it just dropped in favor of this new one?

[soundless]

[HR-Trevor]

I'll say that the two aren't linked. I'm running this event myself, which is a first, for a major event. And, I've never heard of Elizabeth Haydon's Symphony of Ages, btw. Everything in this event is purely what's spilled out of my head.

[Llanfair, Northern Road]
The road from Llanfair forks into two roads at this intersection and someone has conveniently placed a large rock here to sit and rest on. A patch of grass and flowers grows around the rock and a small sign has been stuck in the ground nearby.

You also see a small sign, a collection of softly glowing stones and a shaggy bright green gamojab.
Also here is Airwalker Hecta Tagore, Royal Air Colonel Jade Venra, Bruiser Zafire Stone, Expedition Guide Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear, The Merc Anifaust Amresh, Archer Anyet Alqualonde, and Chief Warrant Officer Mellie Knight.
It is dark here.
You notice exits leading northeast, south, and northwest.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "How ken we halt em."

You see Airwalker Hecta Tagore, a Human Holy Warrior.
She has leaf green eyes and a lightly tanned complexion.
She has short sandy blonde hair which is in a curly halo around her head.
She has an angular face.
She has an athletic build.
She is surrounded by a constant but faint silvery glow.
She stands about 5' 6" tall, and seems to be very young for a Human.
She appears to be feeling humble.

She is not holding anything.
She is wearing a silvery-blue silk headband tied loosely in the back with flowing tails, a starched white overcoat with winged shoulders, some white underrobes, a broad white sash, some long flowing white pants, and a white rayskin scabbard with gold ornamentation at the throat and chape.

You become one with the shadows and disappear from sight.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

Mellie Knight says, "I would ask what I missed... but yeah."

Mellie Knight folds her arms across her chest.

Zafire Stone asks, "Ok millon cred question how do we stop thim?"

Anifaust Amresh says, "We apparently defiled Hecta's transport stones on accident."

Zafire Stone asks, "Any sugestions?"

Hecta Tagore says, "You must prepare, strengthen your spirit. Even I fear my sword will falter against them."

You slip out of hiding.

You say, "You."

Hecta Tagore says, "These stones do not belong to me. I am merely a guardian."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "I pray ta ateon."

You turn to Hecta Tagore and ask, "You are associated with Ghi?"

Hecta Tagore gazes at you.

Hecta Tagore says, "I am."

You say, "Maybe you can answer me a question."

Anyet Alqualonde nods to Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "How ken we keep dese stones safe n pure i do naw mind offering pray to keep em cleansed."

Hecta Tagore says, "Your prayers will be accepted, but at this stage the construction is highly vulnerable to attack."

You stretch.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "We can guard em."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear nods.

Jade Venra says, "I could guard them with you, lady."

You turn to Hecta Tagore and ask, "The Asai...They hunted *me* down. Where I went, they were made manifest. Any clue as to why?"

Hecta Tagore nods to Jade Venra.

Zafire Stone says, "Ill help keep thim safe."

Zafire Stone says, "Be funny if i die doing it."

Hecta Tagore says, "Perhaps they sensed something on you that drew them, like a fine thread of magic, a sort of beacon. I cannot say."

Anifaust Amresh grins.

You smirk.

Anifaust Amresh says, "I can, Ghi bolted his ass just prior."

Anifaust Amresh whistles.

You say, "Very clever Ghi."

You say, "Very clever."

You become one with the shadows and disappear from sight.

Mellie Knight asks, "Or reeked of evil?"

Hecta Tagore nods to Mellie Knight.

Anyet Alqualonde stretches.

You say, "I'm starting to like Ghi even more than Rkaren."

Hecta Tagore says, "I had not considered it, but there is the possibility."

Mellie Knight scoffs.

Mellie Knight says, "You'd like anyone with a little bit of power if you can attach yourself to their ass Seth."

You say, "I don't like you."

Anyet Alqualonde smiles lightly.

Zafire Stone giggles at Mellie Knight.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "Is der a way we ken protect ourselves in da presence o da asai?"

Anifaust Amresh says, "She's not powerful anymore."

Anifaust Amresh shrugs.

Mellie Knight says, "Because obviously, I won't tolerate coattailers."

Mellie Knight rocks on her heels.

Ghi Kada Gul says, "Evil does not regard evil as brethren. The Asai are allies to none."

[Llanfair, Northern Road]
The road from Llanfair forks into two roads at this intersection and someone has conveniently placed a large rock here to sit and rest on. A patch of grass and flowers grows around the rock and a small sign has been stuck in the ground nearby.

It is dark here.
You notice exits leading northeast, south, and northwest.

Anifaust Amresh blinks.

You say, "Amen."

Hecta Tagore says, "We do not work to gain such followers. We are here to quell the evil that has arisen on the Fire Plane."

Zafire Stone asks, "Hi?"

Anifaust Amresh gazes at Ghi Kada Gul.

You slip out of hiding.

Anifaust Amresh says, "Hello, again."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear bows before Ghi Kada Gul.

You turn to Ghi Kada Gul and say, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Anifaust Amresh smiles at Ghi Kada Gul.

Anyet Alqualonde nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

Mellie Knight says, "There goes Seth's dreams."

Hecta Tagore bows before Ghi Kada Gul.

You say, "So evil or not..."

Ghi Kada Gul turns to Hecta Tagore and says, "It is good to see you, Warrior Hecta."

Zafire Stone says, "Hi Ghi."

You say, "I don't think anyone is in a place to deny an ally."

Hecta Tagore turns to Ghi Kada Gul and says, "And you, fair Mage."

Ghi Kada Gul turns to you and says, "You underestimate the confidence of evil. Such as your own confidence."

You turn to Ghi Kada Gul and say, "I'm offering you my aid."

You say, "I have a personal bone to pick with the Asai."

You run your fingers through your hair.

Hecta Tagore gazes at you.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "Hecta .. ghi ken ya explain why da balance o yersels and da asai has tipped ?"

Ghi Kada Gul says, "If there lies virtue in your heart after all, the time will come soon for such to come forth."

You say, "Ha."

You say, "I have one more question."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "As surely ya need to be in harmony for each ta keep da balnace o our plane?"

You stretch.

You see The Fabled Ghi Kada Gul, a Darju Arch Wizard.
He has pure white eyes and an ashen complexion marked with dark golden bands.
He is bald.
He has a well aged and kindly face.
He has a lithe build.
He is surrounded by a constant but faint silvery glow.
He stands about 6' 6" tall, and seems to be timeless for a Darju.

He is not holding anything.
He is wearing a slouched white and gold wizard's hat, a long white robe with decorative golden trim adorned with peculiar silver sigils, an ocia ring covered with faintly glowing silver runes, a pair of modest sandals, a rugged traveler's haversack, and a masterfully crafted ghimra detailed with ornate representations of violent acts of nature.

You turn to Ghi Kada Gul and ask, "This whole...ordeal...Does it pertain to the 7 Magi?"

Ghi Kada Gul turns to Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear and says, "Power is gathering. Power of good, power of evil. Power of aggression, power of peace. This is the eternal dance of the elements, and the eternal dance of the dark heart and the kind heart."

Ghi Kada Gul shakes his head.

Jade Venra says, "There is so much here we do not understand."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "The Seven Magi... put such an idea from your thoughts."

Jade Venra nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

Zafire Stone nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

Anifaust Amresh ponders.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "I fer one do naw want to fight i want to protect da lands and da beasts i walk amongst i jest need ta know o wha i havta withstand to be able ta protect."

Ghi Kada Gul turns to Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear and says, "The Asai would claim this plane for their own. This is not to be permitted. They do not belong here. Neither do we, in fact. But, we must stop those vile beings."

Hecta Tagore says, "A noble ambition in its own right."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear grunts in agreement with Ghi Kada Gul.

Anifaust Amresh asks, "Humor a magically ignorant person, but there's seven elements...they're not associated with the seven Magi?"

Zafire Stone says, "Good question Anifaust."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "Today is not a day for a lesson in the elements, but I would tell you that your scholars are lacking in true knowledge of the plains. Of course, this is not their fault. It is a realm few know well."

Anifaust Amresh nods.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "Is der places o safety we cud go."

Anifaust Amresh leans on Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear.

Anifaust Amresh says, "Never known you to be one to run away from a fight."

Anifaust Amresh grins at Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear.

You say, "Those things popped out of no where."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "Cowering in fear will not serve your desire for peace."

Mellie Knight says, "My house. Huge party. Lots of wine..."

Mellie Knight says, "Wait. Nevermind. I sold it all."

Mellie Knight whistles.

Hecta Tagore says, "Such are few and far between. The nature of this is in its danger."

Zafire Stone asks, "How do we protect each auther is there something we can use to or advantege?"

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "Tis naw fear but o da ones who cannot fight?"

Ghi Kada Gul gestures toward the collection of stones.

[Llanfair, Northern Road]
The road from Llanfair forks into two roads at this intersection and someone has conveniently placed a large rock here to sit and rest on. A patch of grass and flowers grows around the rock and a small sign has been stuck in the ground nearby.

You also see a small sign, a collection of softly glowing stones and a shaggy bright green gamojab.
Also here is The Fabled Ghi Kada Gul, Airwalker Hecta Tagore, Royal Air Colonel Jade Venra, Bruiser Zafire Stone, Expedition Guide Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear, The Merc Anifaust Amresh, Archer Anyet Alqualonde, and Chief Warrant Officer Mellie Knight.
It is dark here.
You notice exits leading northeast, south, and northwest.

The stones are very large, seemingly cut with fine precision. They are covered with azure markings which issue forth a slight silvery glow. Currently, they seem to have no particular order or arrangement.

Zafire Stone asks, "The stone we can use?"

Anyet Alqualonde stares blankly into the distance.

Jade Venra kneels.

Jade Venra pets a shaggy bright green gamojab affectionately.
The green gamojab chirrs happily and flops onto her back.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "We ken lead da young here."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "These stones will form a gateway to the Plane of Fire, where a battle against the Asai must take place. But it seems the growth of the portal has been halted by a corrupt force."

Mellie Knight glances at you.

You say, "..."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "We, the Cuori, will determine this corruption and put it at an end."

Anyet Alqualonde nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

regonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "A gateway to? and only to?"

You say, "I hate the Asai as much as anyone else. So don't look at me."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear asks, "Or ken it be used by asai to come ere?"

Ghi Kada Gul turns to Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear and says, "Those who would use the gateway would not be abandoned there."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear nods.

Hecta Tagore says, "I feared such may have happened, whereupon I chose to examine the transport. It must not come to pass that these stones receive further damage."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear nods to Hecta Tagore.

Jade Venra stands up.

Jade Venra gets a blackened dnuhze with a hoaweisho antler hilt from an oiled leather knife sheath.

Jade Venra says, "Well, one thing i can do is fight."

Ghi Kada Gul says, "There are Cuori assembling a battle force on the Plane of Fire as we speak, and the portal there to this realm will be heavily guarded."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "Jade we must naw rush into dis place."

Jade Venra says, "Not at all, mama. i meant right here."

Zafire Stone says, "So this is the only advantage we have over the Asai or is there some thing we can use that will hert thim i am young but willing to fight."

Jade Venra says, "Although, should i be required elsewhere, it is just as good."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "We must orgnize da triages an da fightin force."

Hecta Tagore says, "Your courage is admirable, child."

Hecta Tagore nods to Zafire Stone.

Anifaust Amresh blinks.

Zafire Stone smiles at Hecta Tagore, her fangs flashing into view.

Ghi Kada Gul turns to Zafire Stone and says, "The assistance of anyone will be of help when the time for battle comes."

Hecta Tagore nods.

Anyet Alqualonde says, "I'll come if needed."

Zafire Stone nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

You stretch.

You say, "I just want revenge."

You grin.

You say, "They tore my tanktop."

Zafire Stone laughs at you!

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear runs her hand over a shaggy bright green gamojab's back.
The green gamojab relaxes and seems to enjoy the attention.

Anyet Alqualonde stares blankly into the distance.

Zafire Stone asks, "They killed you to didnt they?"

You say, "Life is fleeting."

You say, "Good clothes are hard to come by."

You nod.

Ghi Kada Gul says, "Well, I believe there is a corruption that must be found. Please do be cautious, any Asai who do find their way here will be extremely dangerous. Few of this realm would have any hope to defeat a single Asai minion for now."

Zafire Stone nods to you.

Anifaust Amresh asks, "So...you just refered to yourself as Cuori. Is that meaning anyone from your Plane or what?"

Mellie Knight turns to Anifaust Amresh and says, "I guess its time to lighten up and go dig in the weapon cabinet."

Hecta Tagore nods to Anifaust Amresh.

Mellie Knight looks at Anifaust Amresh and sighs.

Hecta Tagore says, "We are the Cuori."

Anifaust Amresh nods to Mellie Knight.

Anifaust Amresh says, "Who exactly is "we"."

Occult Researcher Vyraal Vywrath arrives from the northwest.

You ask, "Cuori is the name for denizens of the plane of air...Like Asai to fire?"

Vyraal Vywrath waves.

Anyet Alqualonde waves to Vyraal Vywrath.

Vyraal Vywrath asks, "Did I miss something?"

Anifaust Amresh nods to Vyraal Vywrath.

Zafire Stone nods to Vyraal Vywrath.

Vyraal Vywrath asks, "And that would beeeee?"

Zafire Stone says, "Going to be a big fight in the plane of fire."

Vyraal Vywrath asks, "Now?"

Ghi Kada Gul says, "The Cuori is an Order from the Plane of Air, dedicated to the protection of the Plane and carrying the
hand of Justice."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "We havta defend ourselves."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear nods to Vyraal Vywrath.

Vyraal Vywrath rolls his eyes.

Vyraal Vywrath says, "But I cant play now."

You ask, "Play?"

You say, "This isn't a game."

Vyraal Vywrath says, "Fighting is a game to me."

Vyraal Vywrath seems more focused and driven.

You say, "Ha."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "Dis will naw be jest defendin oursels but our plane."

Vyraal Vywrath says, "Well best of luck to you guys."

Vyraal Vywrath says, "Im going to go defend my cave."

Vyraal Vywrath waves.

Vyraal Vywrath says, "Peace."

Occult Researcher Vyraal Vywrath goes south.

Ghi Kada Gul says, "I must go. Do heed my warning, avoid the Asai should you find them here."

Hecta Tagore appears to be kneeling and forming a protective sign with her hand over a collection of softly glowing stones.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear gets a finely-crafted bone urjakana from a pitch black thigh-quiver trimmed with razor sharp berami teeth.

Anyet Alqualonde nods to Ghi Kada Gul.

Using a finely-crafted bone urjakana to form lines in the dirt, Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear begins to create a ward. However, it doesn't seem like her efforts produced the results she was hoping for.

Hecta Tagore says, "We shall continue to be vigilant."

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear nods.

Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear says, "As will we."

You say, "Looks like it's time to train twice as hard."

Using a finely-crafted bone urjakana to form lines in the dirt, Dregonard Kruhtha-Lefear begins to create a ward. However, it doesn't seem like her efforts produced the results she was hoping for.

You stretch.

Ghi Kada Gul nods to Hecta Tagore, then fades from vision.

Some characters just aren't good at combat. You chose to make that type of character, to have other strengths. But, it would help if you lighten your burden. I checked earlier and you were like 42% encumbered.
