[02/19/04 21:02:22] Morreion smiles and nods to all.
[02/19/04 21:02:30] Trinsic says, 'I'vee been told Chan was on a few nights ago, probably Tuesday'
[02/19/04 21:02:38] Ihriwuen turns and bows to Morreion as she sits again
[02/19/04 21:02:50] You sit down.
[02/19/04 21:02:51] Cadence offers a smile to Morreion
[02/19/04 21:03:01] You stand up.
[02/19/04 21:03:06] Morreion bows low.
[02/19/04 21:03:08] You sit down.
[02/19/04 21:03:10] Trinsic says, 'Greetings Morreion'
[02/19/04 21:03:17] You say, 'Greetings, friends!'
[02/19/04 21:03:21] Cadence says, 'Well thank you for asking... I was rather curious... as I hadnt seen him in quite sometime. '
[02/19/04 21:04:12] Trinsic says, 'You are welcome'
[02/19/04 21:04:45] Trinsic says, 'So how has everyone been?'
[02/19/04 21:04:54] You say, 'Quite well!'
[02/19/04 21:05:16] Cadence says, 'Quite well actually and yourself?'
[02/19/04 21:05:47] Trinsic says, 'Thats good to hear, I have been doing fine myself'
[02/19/04 21:07:56] Trinsic says, 'Greetings Loops'
[02/19/04 21:08:01] You stand up.
[02/19/04 21:08:05] Morreion bows.
[02/19/04 21:08:07] Loops says, 'Greetings'
[02/19/04 21:08:08] You sit down.
[02/19/04 21:08:28] Cadence says, 'SO nice of you to join us Loops... '
[02/19/04 21:08:28] Ihriwuen gives a bow from where she sits
[02/19/04 21:08:41] Trinsic says, 'Aye you hear for the gathering?'
[02/19/04 21:09:09] Morreion is almost mesmerized by the electric glow from Cadence.
[02/19/04 21:09:27] Loops says, 'I'm afraid I'm only passing through... I have pressing business with a horde of Crushing Ogres'
[02/19/04 21:09:27] Cadence chuckles
[02/19/04 21:09:48] Trinsic says, 'Well, good luck with the Ogres'
[02/19/04 21:09:49] You say, 'Ack! Them Ogres be a grumpy lot!'
[02/19/04 21:10:28] Trinsic grins
[02/19/04 21:10:52] Loops says, 'They are very difficult to reason with unless you quite... forceful'
[02/19/04 21:11:13] Morreion nods, smiling.
[02/19/04 21:11:13] Trinsic says, 'I eat my peas with honey, i've done it all my life, it makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on the knife'
[02/19/04 21:11:33] You say, '!'
[02/19/04 21:11:38] Loops says, 'Good day to you all'
[02/19/04 21:11:44] Cadence peers at Trinisc..
[02/19/04 21:11:48] You say, 'Fare well Loops!'
[02/19/04 21:11:57] Morreion coughs politely.
[02/19/04 21:12:07] Trinsic grins
[02/19/04 21:12:30] Cadence says, 'well i suppose its no worse than Chan's affection for bubble baths in fountains... '
[02/19/04 21:12:37] Trinsic says, 'does anyone here have an accurate timepiece? I think it must be getting close to the time'
[02/19/04 21:12:56] Morreion looks at the shadows upon the wall.
[02/19/04 21:13:08] Calla has logged out.
[02/19/04 21:13:14] You say, 'Fountains!'
[02/19/04 21:13:28] Cadence nods
[02/19/04 21:13:28] Ihriwuen glances at Morreion in bemusement
[02/19/04 21:13:28] Trinsic says, 'Fountains?'
[02/19/04 21:13:45] Cadence says, 'Yes.... Fountains.... namely the ones here in Tazoon... '
[02/19/04 21:14:04] Morreion scritches his head and blinks, having too great a visual imagination
[02/19/04 21:14:32] Ihriwuen says, 'I lost track of the time too well before... now I've no idea'
[02/19/04 21:14:32] Cadence says, 'Its quite upsurd really... '
[02/19/04 21:14:55] Trinsic says, 'Well, one has to keep one's scales nice and shiney clean somehow'
[02/19/04 21:15:06] [Guild: Morreion] I will follow my Paladins Oath, no matter how much Fiend lasses talk of bubble baths in the fountains here at Tazoon!
[02/19/04 21:15:31] Morreion grins and nods!
[02/19/04 21:15:36] [Guild: Celawen] has it started then ? i wait impatiently for Oorhan who has kept me waiting while he hunts *frowns*
[02/19/04 21:15:59] [Guild: Morreion] Heh, well right now it be four of us, we be waitin on others.
[02/19/04 21:16:09] Cadence says, 'Your absolutely right.... just wondering when hes going to get into trouble for turning them into his own personal bubble fountains... '
[02/19/04 21:16:23] Trinsic says, 'So do any of you fine folk have a story or song to share?'
[02/19/04 21:16:29] [Guild: Celawen] well .. two of us will come ...*sigh .. taps foot*
[02/19/04 21:16:39] Ihriwuen looks at the small harp case by her side and smiles
[02/19/04 21:17:04] You say, 'Aha! Lady Ihriwuen has methinks!'
[02/19/04 21:17:14] Trinsic smiles as well
[02/19/04 21:17:22] Cadence says, 'Actually I came to simply listen.... '
[02/19/04 21:17:28] Ihriwuen blushes, giving a small nod
[02/19/04 21:17:47] You say, 'I know some barroom ditties that my Paladins Oath would frown upon the retelling of'
[02/19/04 21:17:56] Trinsic says, 'That great Ihriwuen, would you like to go ahead and share it?'
[02/19/04 21:18:01] You say, 'Aye!'
[02/19/04 21:18:25] Ihriwuen says, 'I will... though I warn you that like most elven tales... it's not brief, though it's more so than many'
[02/19/04 21:18:38] Ihriwuen pulls the harp from its case and quietly tests its tuning
[02/19/04 21:18:44] Morreion nods, and listens.
[02/19/04 21:18:55] Cadence leans back and listens..
[02/19/04 21:18:59] [Guild: Morreion] A song by an Elvish lass begins!
[02/19/04 21:19:12] Ihriwuen nods to herself, slowly pulling forth a soft trickle of notes, steady and empty sounding, speaking over them
[02/19/04 21:19:53] Ihriwuen says, 'Long, long ago, in a time so far back it has dimmed in elven memory...there was a man, a great king who had a son'
[02/19/04 21:20:18] Ihriwuen says, 'His son, Elnai was gentle, and grew up studying music and history, and the statecraft of his father's rule'
[02/19/04 21:20:48] Ihriwuen says, 'When Elnai was of age to be a man, his father asked him how he would begin the duty of learning to be a king'
[02/19/04 21:20:56] [Guild: Celawen] i will strangle the paladin
[02/19/04 21:21:11] Ihriwuen says, 'The young man thought for many days on this, and finally returned to his father with an answer'
[02/19/04 21:21:11] [Guild: Morreion] Jest make sure ye throttle the right one Milady!
[02/19/04 21:21:40] Ihriwuen says, '"I would see this kingdom in its whole, my father, not simply as it shows itself to a prince. I would walk its roads and meet its people without them knowing me." His voice was quiet and sure. The king nodded, pleased with his son's answer'
[02/19/04 21:22:21] Ihriwuen says, 'Then you will do so, and you will learn what it is to be a man instead of a prince. Do you still have your old harp, the one you put aside a few years ago.?" When the prince nodded, his father continued. "Then go, my son, and take that harp with you. Clothe yourself as a humble harper, and you will know welcome anywhere within the kingdon."'
[02/19/04 21:22:53] Oorhan shouts, 'here maybe'
[02/19/04 21:22:53] Ihriwuen says, 'Elnai smiled and bowed deeply to his father. "I will return to you, my lord, when I have seen what I need to see." He left the king's rooms and returned to his own, gathering together his harp and traveling packs.'
[02/19/04 21:23:18] Ihriwuen says, 'He went quickly to the marketplace and bought some clothing, well made and warm, but not as fine as his princely garb. By morning, he was ready, and with the harp and pack upon his back, he set off to see the kingdom.'
[02/19/04 21:23:26] Klump gasps in excitement, trying to remain quiet as he enters late.
[02/19/04 21:23:33] You stand up.
[02/19/04 21:23:50] Ihriwuen smiles, pausing to look up, then continues
[02/19/04 21:23:52] Morreion bows low to Lady Celawen, and sits quietly once more.
[02/19/04 21:23:56] You sit down.
[02/19/04 21:24:04] Ihriwuen says, 'Spring and summer passed quickly as the harper, calling himself Lennas, wandered the roads. Every town and village he passed called to him for news and songs and tales, and he passed nearly every evening inside an inn or tavern, surrounded by the people of his father's kingdom.'
[02/19/04 21:24:21] Oorhan smiles back...motioning to his group to sit quietly...
[02/19/04 21:24:28] Ihriwuen says, 'When his voice was tired, he would ask one of the local storytellers to give him tales from the town, and by the end of the evening, he was one of them, a friend in the tavern.'
[02/19/04 21:24:52] Ihriwuen says, 'Now it was the middle of autumn, and the wind had turned cold. Lennas found himself very far from his home city, and thinking of the coming winter.'
[02/19/04 21:25:15] Ihriwuen says, 'His wanderings took him to the manor house of a noble lord, where he asked humbly for a place for the winter. So distant was he from the castle that his news from there was still new, and his stories fresh.'
[02/19/04 21:25:40] Ihriwuen says, 'The lord welcomed him greatly, giving him a guest's place at table, and comfortable, warm rooms.'
[02/19/04 21:26:08] Ihriwuen says, 'The winter began with harsh snow and wind as the harper entertained the lord, and his lady and daughter. He wove story and tale and song each evening for them, and all their household, but soon enough it was only the daughter his thoughts were on when he sang.'
[02/19/04 21:26:33] Ihriwuen says, 'In his eyes, his harpstrings became her honey brown hair, the smooth wood of the wood, the smoothness of her cheek, and as his heart filled with love for her, his songs filled with magic.'
[02/19/04 21:27:12] Ihriwuen says, 'Ilithe smiled on the harper, feeling the magic of his songs twine around her spirit. She spoke to her father about him, and the lord thought long and hard about the match his daughter and the harper might make.'
[02/19/04 21:27:23] Ihriwuen says, 'Then a message came from the king's palace that changed everything."'
[02/19/04 21:27:23] Bada says, 'is there a chat going on by chance'
[02/19/04 21:27:43] Ihriwuen looks up, the melody changing slightly on the harpstrings
[02/19/04 21:27:47] Klump says, 'we is listenin, Bada'
[02/19/04 21:28:02] Klump raises a finger to his lips, grinning/
[02/19/04 21:28:15] Ihriwuen says, 'The harper hid while the messanger was within the manor, fearing anyone sent by the king might recognize the young prince even in disguise.'
[02/19/04 21:28:41] Ihriwuen says, 'He smiled, seated with his harp near the fire, making plans for when he would bring Ilithe home, to be married. His fingers drifted lovingly over the strings as he planned the day he would ask her, the day he would tell her his true name and nature,'
[02/19/04 21:28:49] Bada says, 'I heard many decision where going to be talked about'
[02/19/04 21:28:55] Klump smiles at Joxer.
[02/19/04 21:29:15] Ihriwuen says, 'but still, he was silent on it when she entered the room. Playing harper was too comfortable, and there would be time enough later to be a prince.'
[02/19/04 21:29:28] Ihriwuen says, 'There was not'
[02/19/04 21:29:28] Klump tries to listen to Ihriwuen.
[02/19/04 21:30:04] Ihriwuen says, 'Some few days after the messanger had returned to the palace, Ilithe came to him. Her face was drawn and pale as she faced the young harper and told him of her betrothal. '
[02/19/04 21:30:24] Ihriwuen says, 'A great lord has asked my father for my hand, in marriage to his son." she said softly as the whisper of harpsong stilled. "It is a match none with sense would refuse.. and my parents are sensible people. It is.. a great honor."'
[02/19/04 21:30:46] Ihriwuen says, 'She tried to smile, but her voice was flat, her eyes filled with unshed tears. She looked for a long moment at the harper, and then sat on the stool next to him. "I would rather.."'
[02/19/04 21:30:57] Ihriwuen says, 'He cut her words off with a shake of his head'
[02/19/04 21:31:12] Ihriwuen says, '"Let me sing for you, my lady, and ease the pain away. Very few of noble birth have the luxury of choosing their marriage, but.. you will find love in it. You could do naught else."'
[02/19/04 21:31:30] Ihriwuen says, 'His voice was hoarse as he began the singing, but soon grew warm and strong again. With his music, he stilled her twisting thoughts, and his own, and for an evening, there was peace in that small room. '
[02/19/04 21:31:55] Ihriwuen says, 'When the singing was done, she rose quietly, seeming calmer. He almost told her then, but any talk of marriage would have shattered the peace. "There will be time enough tomorrow." he said to himself, banking the fire and climbing into bed.'
[02/19/04 21:32:14] Ihriwuen says, 'When morning came, Lennas rose and dressed quickly in his finest clothing, slipping on the signet ring he had left off for so long. He made his way quickly to the study the manor's lord spent most of his days in. '
[02/19/04 21:32:28] Ihriwuen says, 'Where usually there was peace, he found disarray. Lord Noral was questioning his servants urgently, and guards ran off quickly in every direction.'
[02/19/04 21:32:41] Ihriwuen says, 'My lord?" he asked quickly. Noral didn't even take the time to look at the harper before speaking'
[02/19/04 21:32:54] Ihriwuen says, 'She's gone, Lennas. She left a letter for me, saying she wouldn't stay to marry some strange lord. Ilithe has run away'
[02/19/04 21:33:06] Ihriwuen says, 'The harper's breath caught. His heart stilled, thinking of Ilithe out alone in the wind and snow'
[02/19/04 21:33:32] Ihriwuen lets her hands fall still on the strings, the story continuing over the echo of music
[02/19/04 21:33:51] Ihriwuen says, 'If I'd only know how she'd react to being betrothed, I would never have accepted. Better to lose her to a humble harper than to the snow."'
[02/19/04 21:34:08] Ihriwuen says, 'Lord Noral's hands shook as he waited for word to return to him. He and the harper both paced the floor, and Lennas found himself drifting away, barely listening to Noral's words, until-'
[02/19/04 21:34:19] Ihriwuen says, '"She wouldn't even let me speak to her of Elnai. I'm told he's a gentle, good man."'
[02/19/04 21:34:37] Ihriwuen says, 'The harper stopped his pacing and turned to face Noral completely. "It was Elnai who she was asked for, the prince?"'
[02/19/04 21:34:58] Ihriwuen says, 'When the lord nodded, he closed his eyes and drew a breath. "Bring her back, my lord. Bring her home and all will be well." He opened his eyes again, turning quickly away and going to his rooms. No music echoed in the hallway.'
[02/19/04 21:35:04] Oeli has logged in.
[02/19/04 21:35:13] Ihriwuen says, 'Days passed, and all of the guards returned from their search empty handed. Lord Noral went out to search himself, with the silent harper at his side.'
[02/19/04 21:35:15] [Guild: Morreion] Hallo Miss Olly!
[02/19/04 21:35:25] Ihriwuen says, 'Together they combed the base of the winter touched mountains, one calling out her name, the other simply watching, trying as if his eyes could see through the stone. Long past where the others had given up, this pair searched together.'
[02/19/04 21:35:32] [Guild: Oeli] Greetings, Morreion .. everyone
[02/19/04 21:35:37] Ihriwuen says, 't was dusk when they saw her'
[02/19/04 21:35:49] Ihriwuen says, 'Any darker and they would have missed the shadow against the snow. The harper, silent for days suddenly cried out and fell to his knees.'
[02/19/04 21:35:53] [Guild: Celawen] greetings oeli .. we listen to a pretty story by ihriwuen this night
[02/19/04 21:36:01] Ihriwuen says, 'He dug into the snow, freeing Ilithe's still form and lifting her up into his arms. Noral stood beside him, eyes shut against the wind. '
[02/19/04 21:36:03] [Guild: Oeli] Oooo wonderful !!
[02/19/04 21:36:14] [Guild: Oeli] large turnout, I hope?
[02/19/04 21:36:26] [Guild: Morreion] Eleven!
[02/19/04 21:36:32] Ihriwuen says, 'As Lennas cradled her against him, he began to sing again, a solemn, wordless cry sent out to the goddess above'
[02/19/04 21:36:39] [Guild: Morreion] Twelve even!
[02/19/04 21:36:46] Ihriwuen says, 'Perhaps the heavens heard him, but Ilithe drew no breath.'
[02/19/04 21:36:48] [Guild: Oeli] Not too bad for a first Storytelling Night, not bad at all
[02/19/04 21:36:56] Ihriwuen says, 'Both men were silent as they returned with her body to the manor'
[02/19/04 21:37:10] Cadence sniffles
[02/19/04 21:37:28] Ihriwuen says, 'The harper sang at her funeral, song speaking grief that others had no way to voice. His voice was rough from the cold, choked with tears, but it drifted clearly over the snowy plains. When the singing was done, and the funeral pyre lit, only those closest heard his whispered words. "Is this what it means to be a man instead of a prince?"'
[02/19/04 21:38:02] Ihriwuen says, 'The next day, Lennas the harper went to lord Noral's study once more. The mountain passes were clear, and spring was coming to the land. He stood silent before the nobleman for a moment before Noral looked up to see him. "What am I going to tell the king, and his son?" Noral asked. His face was further lined with grief, but as always, his mind was on duty.'
[02/19/04 21:38:18] Ihriwuen says, 'You need not worry my lord. I will speak to the king upon my return. It is the least I owe you." The harper's voice was quiet, tinged with an edge of bitterness Noral had never before heard it carry. He searched the young man with his eyes, shaking his head.'
[02/19/04 21:38:26] Ihriwuen says, 'What do you owe me?'
[02/19/04 21:38:38] Ihriwuen says, 'The truth at least, for if she or you had only known it sooner, you would still have a daughter, and I a wife." Slowly, the harper drew the signet ring from his finger and placed it on the desk between them.'
[02/19/04 21:38:57] Ihriwuen says, 'Noral drew the ring to him, turning it over in his hands. As recognition dawned in his eyes, so did anger'
[02/19/04 21:39:10] Ihriwuen says, 'You.. YOU are the high prince? You are the very man my daughter would die to keep from losing, and die to avoid?" His voice rose sharply. "Why did you not tell me?"'
[02/19/04 21:39:25] Ihriwuen says, 'It was a promise between myself and my father, though he had no way of knowing I would end up in this place. When Ilithe came to me, I knew not which lord she had been betrothed to. I thought.. I didn't know she would run. I thought I has time to speak."'
[02/19/04 21:39:38] Ihriwuen says, 'Elnai's voice was a husky whisper. "If I had known...'
[02/19/04 21:39:50] Klump tears up.
[02/19/04 21:39:56] Ihriwuen says, 'The games of princes and kings!" Noral roared, crossing the room to where the young prince stood. "Harper, be gone from my home at once. You will not pack, you will simply go from the door. If you live to see your father, tell him what this game has cost'
[02/19/04 21:40:08] Trinsic bows his head sadly
[02/19/04 21:40:12] Ihriwuen says, '"My harp.." the prince began.'
[02/19/04 21:40:15] Cadence offers Klump a hankerchief
[02/19/04 21:40:19] Morreion looks stricken.
[02/19/04 21:40:25] Celawen sniffs
[02/19/04 21:40:35] Ihriwuen looks down at her harp strings.. playing softly once more, the notes coming slowly
[02/19/04 21:40:45] Clump pulls out his handkerchief and wipes his eyes....
[02/19/04 21:40:49] Klump takes the hankerchief.
[02/19/04 21:41:21] Klump balls without masculine pretense.
[02/19/04 21:41:29] Ihriwuen says, 'Your harp will die here, where you should. Were you any other man I would have your life for my daughter's. Instead, you will live, knowing what has been lost." Noral turned cold eyes to the harper turned prince's face for a moment more, then turned his back to him. "Go, before I call the guards."'
[02/19/04 21:41:30] Zak sobs
[02/19/04 21:41:57] Ihriwuen says, 'Elnai took the ring from the desk and slipped it into a pocket. Harper he came, and harper he would go, though when he left the manor, he didn't rest or tarry, but walked until he could walk no more, then after a short rest, began again.'
[02/19/04 21:42:00] Cadence gives up ... just cries..
[02/19/04 21:42:11] Bada says, 'gu and when you get to 11'
[02/19/04 21:42:16] Ihriwuen says, 'He reached his father's castle in a matter of weeks, worn to exhaustion from travel and cold. Soon enough, he told his father the story, and the fate of his betrothed, Ilithe.'
[02/19/04 21:42:30] Ihriwuen says, 'The king said nothing for a long time, simply nodding and watching his son. Finally, he rested his hand on Elnai's shoulder and sighed'
[02/19/04 21:42:42] Ihriwuen says, '"You have learned more of being a man than I ever wished. Remember her, my son, and love her for as long as you breathe. She will live in you."'
[02/19/04 21:42:47] Clump bawls his eyes out....
[02/19/04 21:43:00] Ihriwuen says, 'The king died several years later, and his solemn son took the throne. In time he married, and his queen bore him children. All the tales of him spoke of a good king, thoughtful and caring, generous without being foolish,'
[02/19/04 21:43:20] Ihriwuen says, 'They also spoke of the gentle king who now never sang, and rarely spoke unless he had to'
[02/19/04 21:43:39] Ihriwuen says, 'n time, age took its toll on him. His wife passed many years before him, and his son was long past old enough to take the throne. The ceremony that made his son king was brief, and quiet as ceremonies go. In the midst of the celebration, after a tender farewell, the harper Lennas again took to the roads."'
[02/19/04 21:43:57] Cadence goes about her silent crying...
[02/19/04 21:44:06] Oorhan inhales deeply
[02/19/04 21:44:08] Ihriwuen lets the harpsong rise stronger as her voice quiets
[02/19/04 21:44:12] Ihriwuen says, 'Few travelled to this part of the land in winter. The manor house within the valley was all but cut off by the mountains around it. Bent with age and wind, Lennas made his way to the plains before the manor and stopped. Not far from where he stood was the outcropping of stone by which he'd found Ilithe. His steps were slow as he found the spot, then knealt on the packed snow.'
[02/19/04 21:44:38] Ihriwuen says, 'Someone in the manor house, out on a winter hunt, heard the singing. '
[02/19/04 21:44:51] Ihriwuen says, 'The hunt was called over, several well wrapped men and their shivering dogs making their cautious way toward the source of the sound'
[02/19/04 21:45:07] Ihriwuen says, 'They couldn't make out the words until they were very close... but several times, they heard the song repeated'
[02/19/04 21:45:22] Ihriwuen says, 'When they finally found the old harper, he was still singing, but ice had frozen his eyes closed, and his words were slurring. The cold had long since stiffened his hands'
[02/19/04 21:45:24] Clump regains his composure....listening intently to the story....
[02/19/04 21:45:40] Ihriwuen begins to sing in a low, soft voice
[02/19/04 21:45:59] Ihriwuen says, 'Who do you hear on the wind.. and who do you wait for on the ridge?'
[02/19/04 21:46:08] Ihriwuen says, 'In the snow.. in the cold of longest night'
[02/19/04 21:46:25] Ihriwuen says, 'your breath, a white puff in the sky... your tears clear water frozen dry...'
[02/19/04 21:46:37] Ihriwuen says, 'In the snow, as you watch the rising light..?'
[02/19/04 21:46:53] Ihriwuen says, 'I hear the whisper of my love... she calls my name...'
[02/19/04 21:47:04] Ihriwuen says, 'I wait to see her walking over the snowy plain..'
[02/19/04 21:47:14] Ihriwuen says, 'I hear the echo of the only song our voices ever shared...'
[02/19/04 21:47:24] Ihriwuen says, 'I wait for her... she will melt the snow...'
[02/19/04 21:47:45] Ihriwuen lets the last line dim out and repeat twice as the harpsong fades quietly back to normal
[02/19/04 21:47:58] Ihriwuen says, 'When the song was done this time, his voice fell still, and winter took him."'
[02/19/04 21:48:12] Ihriwuen says, 'The hunters never forgot him, nor did their children, or their children's children. And if you find the manor house today, tucked away in its snowy valley, there will still be those who swear they can hear the old man, king and harper, singing his simple, final song into the wind."'
[02/19/04 21:48:12] Oorhan begins swaying to the angelic sound
[02/19/04 21:48:27] Klump begins to quietly sob again.
[02/19/04 21:48:29] Ihriwuen lets her hands finally fall still, and dampen the sound of the strings
[02/19/04 21:48:40] Cadence is still silently crying.. never stopped
[02/19/04 21:49:17] Oorhan says, 'looks to snap out of a deep trance...'
[02/19/04 21:49:21] You say, 'That be a haunting, beautiful tale, Lady Ihriwuen.'
[02/19/04 21:49:33] Cadence sniffles
[02/19/04 21:49:37] Ihriwuen bows her head, eyes closed
[02/19/04 21:49:40] Celawen applauds
[02/19/04 21:49:43] Oorhan speaks up," indeed mlady!!
[02/19/04 21:49:44] Zak claps quietly and sobs loudly.
[02/19/04 21:49:46] You stand up.
[02/19/04 21:49:50] Klump says, 'dat make me sad *sniff*'
[02/19/04 21:49:54] Oorhan appluads hooting....
[02/19/04 21:49:58] Morreion stands and applauds strongly.
[02/19/04 21:50:01] Trinsic says, 'Wow, that was a wonderfully lovely, sad song'
[02/19/04 21:50:01] Cadence says, 'I think thats the saddest thing Ive ever heard... '
[02/19/04 21:50:05] Klump says, 'but it berry gud'
[02/19/04 21:50:07] Oorhan says, 'very well met...such a beautiful tale..and sound...'
[02/19/04 21:50:14] Ihriwuen says, 'I'm glad you found it well...'
[02/19/04 21:50:20] Venge says, 'any gnomes around?'
[02/19/04 21:50:21] Celawen says, 'thank you ihriwuen'
[02/19/04 21:50:26] Klump applauds.
[02/19/04 21:50:34] Oorhan says, 'you have done us all quite well with the favor of your song.....'
[02/19/04 21:50:35] Ihriwuen gives a small smile, carefully packing the harp away and sitting back
[02/19/04 21:50:37] Zak says, 'Dats bout da sadest ting I ever hurd!'
[02/19/04 21:50:39] Trinsic says, 'Indeed, I doubt there is a dry eye left under the dome now'
[02/19/04 21:50:44] Oorhan says, 'Thank you...'
[02/19/04 21:50:47] Zak says, 'Breath your last, if breath you do!'
[02/19/04 21:50:59] Venge says, 'well heres a story that will cheer everyone up'
[02/19/04 21:51:03] Cadence says, ' was beautiful... '
[02/19/04 21:51:12] Venge says, 'except maybe some gnomes - they may get angry'
[02/19/04 21:51:13] Trinsic says, 'Greetings to all of the new people have arrived, glad to see you could make it tonight'
[02/19/04 21:51:15] Klump says, 'YAY Venge!'
[02/19/04 21:51:20] Ihriwuen gives a small grin and turns to Verge
[02/19/04 21:51:30] Oorhan smiles loooking around the room of sobbing people and their smiles.....druying his own eyes
[02/19/04 21:51:34] Zak smiles and wipes his eyes.
[02/19/04 21:51:39] Venge says, 'kind of a long one so bear with me'
[02/19/04 21:51:47] You sit down.
[02/19/04 21:51:56] Klump bears with Venge.
[02/19/04 21:52:10] Venge says, 'Dew glistened on the leaves, and spiderwebs looked like crystal strings hanging in the air'
[02/19/04 21:52:12] Oorhan says, 'Huzzah to Ihriwuen for her wonderful ballad'
[02/19/04 21:52:12] Trinsic grins, "GO ahead Venge"
[02/19/04 21:52:23] Venge says, 'The wind was blowing from the north and the forest was still'
[02/19/04 21:52:40] Cadence thinks they are going to hear a story about gnomes and a hole they were put in..
[02/19/04 21:52:43] Oorhan ..whispers oh sorry,
[02/19/04 21:52:51] Venge says, 'Softly, quietly a young blue and gold dragon crept among the trees, scales upright with wings tucked close'
[02/19/04 21:53:04] Fistandauntilus perks up and the sound of gnomes.
[02/19/04 21:53:10] Shesta hug everyone.
[02/19/04 21:53:13] Venge says, 'Putting his nose to the ground the dragon picks up the scent of his quary.'
[02/19/04 21:53:42] Venge says, 'He won't get away this time, thought venge. All of his senses straining, mind searching for any errant thought he tracks his enemey'
[02/19/04 21:53:56] Venge says, 'The lingering scent of his prey led to a stream'
[02/19/04 21:54:10] Venge says, 'So he thinks he can loose me in the water does he'
[02/19/04 21:54:15] Oorhan smiles at the familiar winged ones....
[02/19/04 21:54:41] Venge says, 'Just recently returned from chiconis, Venge had command of more than just physical senses and knew that sooner or later his prey would be caught'
[02/19/04 21:54:58] Venge says, 'SNAP. A twig broke. Venge's enemy had doubled back'
[02/19/04 21:55:27] Venge says, 'he had just enough time to turn before a large black shape hurtled through the air and threw Venge to the ground'
[02/19/04 21:55:39] Venge says, 'haha, gotcha exclaimed Lohgre as he tore off into the forest again'
[02/19/04 21:55:49] Cadence ponders the size of somehting throwing Venge tothe ground...
[02/19/04 21:56:01] Morreion grins!
[02/19/04 21:56:01] Oorhan laughs hearitly!! a the surprise
[02/19/04 21:56:03] Venge says, 'This was the one game the trainers at dralk let the hatchlings play.'
[02/19/04 21:56:19] Venge says, 'a form of tag that the human played but with a more draconic twist'
[02/19/04 21:56:25] Klump loves games.
[02/19/04 21:56:26] Ihriwuen chuckles softly
[02/19/04 21:56:34] Cadence makes a mental note to never play tag with dragons
[02/19/04 21:56:44] Venge says, 'the objective was to track and hunt your opponent through the forest, simple emought, except that your prey was a dragon'
[02/19/04 21:56:46] Trinsic grins
[02/19/04 21:56:58] Venge says, 'and the forest was riddled with boats that any other creature with sense avoided'
[02/19/04 21:57:23] Venge says, 'CRUNCH CRUNCH "Wait, cried Venge, "Do you hear that?"'
[02/19/04 21:57:42] Venge says, 'lohgre and venge both turned and tilted their heads in the direction of the sound'
[02/19/04 21:57:58] Venge says, '"it sounds like something is eating" said lohgre'
[02/19/04 21:58:00] Klump wonderrs how boats got into the forest, then gives it up as another thing better left to smarter folk.
[02/19/04 21:58:19] Celawen stifles a giggle
[02/19/04 21:58:19] Venge says, '"wheres fist?' exclaimed Venge'
[02/19/04 21:58:52] Venge says, '"i don't know, I assumed he was trackind Chanlmee. YOu don't think... " Lohgre trailed off'
[02/19/04 21:59:07] Venge says, 'they had both heard the rumors, even though the elders denied them'
[02/19/04 21:59:19] Cadence snorts and thinks Chanlmee was off having a bubble bath in a fountain or killing golems
[02/19/04 21:59:29] Venge says, 'Fang had been seen here far from his home in the wastelands, raising and army for the aegis'
[02/19/04 21:59:49] Venge says, 'The werewolf had virtuallly emptied the are of hte biped population'
[02/19/04 22:00:12] Venge says, 'Together nothing would trouble a pack of dragons, but a hatchling on his own/'
[02/19/04 22:00:17] Klump gasps for the bipeds, which he was pretty sure he was.
[02/19/04 22:00:26] Venge says, 'Fange wouldn't hesitate to kill and eat one'
[02/19/04 22:00:39] Cadence smiles at Klump... thinks the dragons wouldhave been scratching posts..
[02/19/04 22:00:42] Venge says, 'Together the two dragons turned and raced toward the sound, heedless of hte danger'
[02/19/04 22:00:43] Morreion thinks, 'was??' and counts Klumps legs.
[02/19/04 22:01:03] Klump is confused.
[02/19/04 22:01:07] Venge says, 'Bursting into a clearing Venge and Lohgre saw a black dragon sitting down '
[02/19/04 22:01:25] Venge says, 'casually eating something and holding down a small wriggling form with its claws'
[02/19/04 22:01:30] Cadence thinks "just like a dragon.. lazing around... worrying about his hoard.. "
[02/19/04 22:01:46] Morreion hides a smile.
[02/19/04 22:01:47] Venge says, 'With a desperation born of the doomed, the thing leaped free from Fists claws and sprinted for freedom'
[02/19/04 22:01:50] Klump hopes it's not a gnome.
[02/19/04 22:01:55] Fistandauntilus feels his stomach grumble at the thought
[02/19/04 22:01:57] Venge says, '"Catch that Gnome" yelled fist'
[02/19/04 22:02:04] Celawen shudders
[02/19/04 22:02:07] Klump gasps.
[02/19/04 22:02:16] Venge says, 'Leaping in pursuit Lohgre quickly caught up and snatched the gnome'
[02/19/04 22:02:28] Morreion winces!
[02/19/04 22:02:30] Klump curses./
[02/19/04 22:02:35] Shesta hugs Clump.
[02/19/04 22:02:38] Cadence hides her face in the hankie.. thinking losing her dinner might pose and issue.
[02/19/04 22:02:48] Venge says, 'Laughing venge joined the two. "Wheres Chanlmee, asked Vegne "weren't you supposed to catch him"'
[02/19/04 22:03:00] Ihriwuen tilts her head curiously to the side
[02/19/04 22:03:09] Cadence thinks.. "SEE... CHanlmee... taking a fountain bubble bath.. "
[02/19/04 22:03:22] Venge says, 'Fist shruggeed, " Igot distracted. Chanlmee's out there somewhere." he said waving a claw towards the forest'
[02/19/04 22:03:32] Klump is glad Sasie and Robo aren't here for this story.
[02/19/04 22:03:38] Venge says, '"Besides it isn't everyday you find a bunch of gnomes'
[02/19/04 22:03:47] Venge says, '"True enough, said lohgre'
[02/19/04 22:03:54] Cadence turns a few shades of green...
[02/19/04 22:04:00] Oorhan has a churning nausea in his stomach...
[02/19/04 22:04:00] Venge says, '"a bunch" exclaimed Venge, where are the others"'
[02/19/04 22:04:19] Klump slides away from Clump.
[02/19/04 22:04:24] Venge says, '"Over there." Fist replied pointing towards a shallow hole, "Help yourselves."'
[02/19/04 22:04:33] Zak scratches head an looks around too.
[02/19/04 22:04:58] Venge says, 'Venge looked ath the hole as he approached it. It had obviously been hastily made really no more than few claw strikes.'
[02/19/04 22:05:12] Cadence just shakes her head
[02/19/04 22:05:13] Klump looks terrified.
[02/19/04 22:05:19] Venge says, 'Peering over the edge, Venge saw the pit was no more than 5 feet deep'
[02/19/04 22:05:33] Venge says, 'easily deep enough to prevent a group of gnomes from escaping'
[02/19/04 22:05:42] Oorhan chuckles..gagging slightly..
[02/19/04 22:05:44] Venge says, 'Inside were four more of the diminutive creatures'
[02/19/04 22:05:51] Morreion tries not to laugh!
[02/19/04 22:06:08] Venge says, 'Round bellies poking through their torn shirts, the gnomes huddled together in obvious fright'
[02/19/04 22:06:15] Celawen gasps
[02/19/04 22:06:17] Klump cries out in panic.
[02/19/04 22:06:20] Ihriwuen tries to remember this tale to tell her gnomish friends
[02/19/04 22:06:27] Venge says, 'Laughing lohgre grabbed the gnome hanging from his jaws and twisted'
[02/19/04 22:06:27] Cadence eyes well up with tears...
[02/19/04 22:06:34] [Guild: Morreion] Miss Olly, Gnomes be takin some ribbing in the current story here!
[02/19/04 22:06:51] [Guild: Celawen] poor gnomes .. getting all eaten up by dragons !!
[02/19/04 22:06:56] Venge says, '"don't choke on it, " warned Venge. "That one has to be almost 3 and a half feet tall."'
[02/19/04 22:07:02] [Guild: Morreion] *nods vigorously*
[02/19/04 22:07:04] [Guild: Oeli] Well how rude !!
[02/19/04 22:07:16] [Guild: Oatik] agreed!
[02/19/04 22:07:21] [Guild: Oeli] Tis bad enough when I got licked by one
[02/19/04 22:07:30] [Guild: Morreion] !!!
[02/19/04 22:07:32] Venge says, 'Looking into the pit again Venge saw the remaining gnomes visibly flinsh with each crunch and tear of the two dragons meals'
[02/19/04 22:07:39] Venge says, 'and almost felt sorry for them'
[02/19/04 22:07:45] [Guild: Oeli] Aaah greetings, Oatik .. and welcome to our family. Always good to have another gnome in our midst
[02/19/04 22:07:47] Zak starts ta think these dragons aren't too friendly.
[02/19/04 22:07:52] [Guild: Celawen] really ? that sounds like a good story .. come over here Oeli *laughs*
[02/19/04 22:07:56] Cadence hopes one day the gnomes create a rotisserie and start making dragon for dinner
[02/19/04 22:08:02] Venge says, '"look at them, " said Venge, " You'd think these things had feelings."'
[02/19/04 22:08:04] [Guild: Morreion] Was he a drunkard lookin fer a lil taste? *ducks*
[02/19/04 22:08:13] Oorhan suddenly does not like being a biped
[02/19/04 22:08:13] [Guild: Oeli] I don't think so .. tis very scary
[02/19/04 22:08:23] Venge says, '"ah you've been in Chiconis too long. said fist'
[02/19/04 22:08:24] [Guild: Oeli]
[02/19/04 22:08:24] [Guild: Oatik] hello miss Oeli
[02/19/04 22:08:28] Klump begins to cry again, thinking this story more sad than the first.
[02/19/04 22:08:38] Cadence grumbles...
[02/19/04 22:08:40] Morreion envisions Gnomes on a rotisserie!
[02/19/04 22:08:42] Venge says, 'Gnomes don't think or feel, their brains are big enough for that, see look'
[02/19/04 22:08:47] Zak lays his battle axe across his knees, just in case.
[02/19/04 22:08:48] [Guild: Celawen] and the giants ahve been weeping the whole time .. poor big lugs
[02/19/04 22:08:53] Klump cringes.
[02/19/04 22:08:56] Venge says, 'Fist took the gnome from his mouth and showed Venge the skull cavity'
[02/19/04 22:08:57] Oorhan chuckles slightly at Klump
[02/19/04 22:09:00] Fistandauntilus envisions gnomes on a rotisserie also..
[02/19/04 22:09:05] Cadence casts Energy Attack II.
[02/19/04 22:09:06] Venge says, '"not much room in there"'
[02/19/04 22:09:08] [Guild: Oeli] Egads .. a poor gnome could drown in all those tears.
[02/19/04 22:09:16] Oorhan winces
[02/19/04 22:09:32] Klump doesn't know how much more of this he can take.
[02/19/04 22:09:34] Zak starts gettin sort of hungry.
[02/19/04 22:09:37] Celawen grimaces
[02/19/04 22:09:38] Cadence casts Energy Attack II on Zak.
[02/19/04 22:09:41] Venge says, 'Indeed the small opening looked barely big enough to fit one of venge's claws let alone a Sentient? creatures brains'
[02/19/04 22:09:57] Venge says, '"ya your probably right" said Vegne reaching for a snack of his own'
[02/19/04 22:10:03] Venge says, '"Wait Venge" '
[02/19/04 22:10:03] Cadence hopes Project X eats Venge
[02/19/04 22:10:12] Oorhan looks at the elf, smiling...
[02/19/04 22:10:22] Venge says, 'The three dragons looked up and saw chanlmee coming through the trees towards them'
[02/19/04 22:10:43] Venge says, 'We can practice with these adn thest the theory of gnome sentience at the same time'
[02/19/04 22:10:54] [Guild: Oeli] I'm afraid I must g'night .. so sorry I wasn't able to make it to the Storytelling .. but next time I shall be there with bells on
[02/19/04 22:10:54] Oorhan smiles as the story twists...
[02/19/04 22:10:58] [Guild: Oeli] Be well, be safe, m'friends
[02/19/04 22:11:04] [Guild: Celawen] farewell Oeli
[02/19/04 22:11:11] [Guild: Morreion] Gnight Miss O!
[02/19/04 22:11:15] Venge says, 'Venge knew that Chanlmee believed the gnomes were sentient. HE wasn't sure himself but had enough doubt to drop the gnome he had picked up back into the pit'
[02/19/04 22:11:26] Oeli has logged out.
[02/19/04 22:11:32] Venge says, '"We can hunt each other well enough," continued chanlmee'
[02/19/04 22:11:34] Klump sighs with relief.
[02/19/04 22:11:43] Zak relaxes a bit.
[02/19/04 22:11:59] Venge says, '"but how well would we do against something that REALLY didnt' want to be caught'
[02/19/04 22:12:00] Cadence knew she liked Chan for a reason... he had half a brain
[02/19/04 22:12:16] Oorhan says, '...oh dear god'
[02/19/04 22:12:18] Venge says, 'If they are easily caught then they are probably not intelligetn and so can be food'
[02/19/04 22:12:20] Oorhan says, 'gods'
[02/19/04 22:12:37] Venge says, 'However if they do as I think they will, and set traps, hide well or just escape'
[02/19/04 22:12:47] Morreion feels a bit sorry for Gnomes, an odd feeling indeed
[02/19/04 22:12:48] Venge says, 'well then your skills need some work and we agree they can think'
[02/19/04 22:13:02] Venge says, '"sounds good to me," said venge'
[02/19/04 22:13:10] Venge says, '"deal" said lohgre'
[02/19/04 22:13:25] Oorhan now counts Morrien's legs, grinning
[02/19/04 22:13:36] Morreion looks down in alarm!
[02/19/04 22:13:39] Venge says, '"but they taste so good." complaind fist, "you just want to let them go becaues your a gnome lover'
[02/19/04 22:13:53] Cadence thinks.. Burnout.. multicast... fusion burn... Burning Hands... everyone could have barbequed dragon as a snack for the next stroy
[02/19/04 22:14:00] Klump realizes he must be a gnome-lover.
[02/19/04 22:14:03] Venge says, 'Chanlmee bristled and said ," do you think you'll be outsmarted by a biped"'
[02/19/04 22:14:04] Celawen is a gnome lover ...
[02/19/04 22:14:16] Venge says, '"fine let htem go, we'll give them a 10 minute headstart'
[02/19/04 22:14:19] Fistandauntilus eyes Cadence
[02/19/04 22:14:22] Morreion politely lets the term 'Gnome lover' pass without much scrutiny.
[02/19/04 22:14:33] Venge says, 'Fist walked over and scooped the gnomes out and let them go'
[02/19/04 22:14:45] Oorhan is too
[02/19/04 22:14:53] Cadence eyes Fistandauntilus back..
[02/19/04 22:15:01] Venge says, 'The gnomes either not intelligent enough, or not understanding dragon looked at the four young dragons in terror'
[02/19/04 22:15:13] Oorhan suddenly thinks well not..nevermind
[02/19/04 22:15:20] Venge says, '"Get moving" said chanlmee and let out a small puff of flame'
[02/19/04 22:15:25] Morreion hides a grin
[02/19/04 22:15:26] Venge says, 'That the gnomes understood'
[02/19/04 22:15:45] Venge says, 'They streaked off into the brush as fast as their stubby legs could carry them'
[02/19/04 22:15:57] Cadence cheers for the gnomes
[02/19/04 22:15:57] Venge says, 'tripping and pushing each other in thier frantic attmpes to get away'
[02/19/04 22:16:00] Celawen stifles a laugh at the picture
[02/19/04 22:16:01] Oorhan grins
[02/19/04 22:16:12] Morreion thinks of streaking Gnomes and covers his eyes, too late!
[02/19/04 22:16:20] Venge says, 'Laughing at thier antics Venge and the others watched them leave.'
[02/19/04 22:16:23] Zak pictures streaking gnomes.
[02/19/04 22:16:31] Cadence should reach over and pinch Morreion for that mental picture
[02/19/04 22:16:41] Venge says, '"if they're aegis creatures, your gonna get it from grazzilion" said fist'
[02/19/04 22:16:43] Oorhan laughs
[02/19/04 22:16:55] Venge says, 'Confident that he was right, Chanlmee smiled and said nothing'
[02/19/04 22:17:02] Morreion thinks ... too much
[02/19/04 22:17:19] Venge says, 'ACK, screamed a high pitched voice from a nearby bush, follwed by scamperign sounds'
[02/19/04 22:17:33] Venge says, 'Venge laughed and remembered an odd biped poem he once heard about dragon smiles'
[02/19/04 22:17:49] Venge says, '"times up" said lohgre "let the hunt begin"'
[02/19/04 22:17:56] Oorhan smiles broadly at the dragon bard
[02/19/04 22:18:10] Venge says, 'Leading the way lohgre dashed off into the bush, followed in a flash by fist'
[02/19/04 22:18:22] Venge says, 'Chanlmee and Venge follwed more slowly'
[02/19/04 22:18:31] Venge says, 'Chanlmee because he believed he wa right'
[02/19/04 22:18:38] Klump roots for the gnomes.
[02/19/04 22:18:45] Venge says, 'Venge because in chiconis he had met afew gnomes'
[02/19/04 22:18:59] Venge says, 'and while definately small, odd lookking and tasted great'
[02/19/04 22:19:08] Venge says, 'they were pretty good with their tools too'
[02/19/04 22:19:29] Venge says, 'Venge had to concede that gnomes were more intelligent than fist fist believed'
[02/19/04 22:19:30] Celawen nods
[02/19/04 22:19:44] Venge says, 'but were they really as intelligent as chanlmee thought?'
[02/19/04 22:19:56] Venge says, 'oh well he thought to himself as he ran to join the others'
[02/19/04 22:20:18] Venge says, 'soon all thoughts of sentience or food fled from his mind and Venge game himself over to the hunt'
[02/19/04 22:20:39] Venge says, 'In the distance, terrified squeals and laughter'
[02/19/04 22:20:42] Klump has been outsmarted by gnomes many, many times...
[02/19/04 22:20:45] Cadence adds Perfect spell to that lineup previously mentioned.. to make sure it worked... well.
[02/19/04 22:20:57] Venge says, 'alternating with shrieks of pain could be heard from both dragon and gnome alike'
[02/19/04 22:21:00] Venge says, 'The end )'
[02/19/04 22:21:07] Morreion !!!
[02/19/04 22:21:22] You say, 'Did the Gnomes win!'
[02/19/04 22:21:26] Fistandauntilus applauds wildly
[02/19/04 22:21:27] Cadence hopes the dragons found themselves on the end of gnome spells and sword... dragon pin cushions.. theres a marketable item
[02/19/04 22:21:35] Cadence snorts
[02/19/04 22:21:35] Celawen applauds
[02/19/04 22:21:39] Venge says, 'hehe we'll never know )'
[02/19/04 22:21:44] Morreion claps loudly!
[02/19/04 22:21:53] Ihriwuen chuckles quietly and claps
[02/19/04 22:21:58] Trinsic smiles
[02/19/04 22:22:02] Celawen feels sorry for the gnomes though
[02/19/04 22:22:14] Morreion waves at Khymera
[02/19/04 22:22:32] Morreion thinks that Gnomes always bounce back!
[02/19/04 22:22:39] Trinsic says, 'Thanks for sharing the story, Venge'
[02/19/04 22:22:41] Oorhan stnads, laughing.....calapping his hands...
[02/19/04 22:22:43] Ihriwuen stands and blushes
[02/19/04 22:22:48] Celawen says, 'thank you venge'
[02/19/04 22:22:49] Cadence hopes the gnomes Fist ate gave him indegestion
[02/19/04 22:22:52] Oorhan says, 'very good....dragon!'
[02/19/04 22:23:05] Ihriwuen says, 'my apologies... the hour grows late, and I should check on my gnome friends before sleeping'
[02/19/04 22:23:07] Oorhan says, 'quite...er...entertaining......'
[02/19/04 22:23:07] Klump says, 'me no tink me liked dat story...'
[02/19/04 22:23:11] Klump pouts.
[02/19/04 22:23:12] Ihriwuen gives a small grin and waves
[02/19/04 22:23:16] Venge says, ')'
[02/19/04 22:23:20] Fistandauntilu says, 'I can check on them for you.'
[02/19/04 22:23:24] You say, 'G'night Lady Ihriwuen!'
[02/19/04 22:23:28] Venge says, 'I guess its more dragon oriented hehe'
[02/19/04 22:23:32] Oorhan smiles at the female bard
[02/19/04 22:23:36] Ihriwuen says, 'take care all'
[02/19/04 22:23:37] Zak claps and is glad no more gnomes got et.
[02/19/04 22:23:41] You stand up.
[02/19/04 22:23:42] Klump says, 'buh bye Ihruwuen'
[02/19/04 22:23:43] Oorhan says, 'perspective...'
[02/19/04 22:23:48] Trinsic says, 'Fare well Ihriwuen'
[02/19/04 22:23:48] Morreion bows low.
[02/19/04 22:23:49] Oorhan says, 'good journey mlady'
[02/19/04 22:23:58] Klump waves goodbye vigorously, producing a tangible current of wind.
[02/19/04 22:24:01] You sit down.
[02/19/04 22:24:04] Cadence says, 'I quite agree.... hopefully Chanlmee will knock some sense into you before you go eating other races of bi-peds.. r '
[02/19/04 22:24:11] Trinsic says, 'So who would like to go next?'
[02/19/04 22:24:24] You stand up.
[02/19/04 22:24:31] Zak says, 'Dat wus good story. Tank you.'
[02/19/04 22:25:50] Klump wishes he had a story to tell.
[02/19/04 22:25:51] Venge says, 'I have one more if your so inclined'
[02/19/04 22:26:00] Venge says, 'this one is not about eating anything )'
[02/19/04 22:26:00] Zak says, '*wispers* Youz tink nomes really gud ta eat Klump?'
[02/19/04 22:26:01] You say, 'Revenge a the Gnomes?'
[02/19/04 22:26:09] Klump says, 'does gnomies get eated?'
[02/19/04 22:26:18] Venge says, 'hehe sadly no'
[02/19/04 22:26:18] Trinsic grins towards Morreion, "I believed you mentioned something about some barroom songs?"
[02/19/04 22:26:27] Morreion winces!
[02/19/04 22:26:35] Venge says, 'its about the beginnings and the gods'
[02/19/04 22:26:42] Zak says, 'Bar?'
[02/19/04 22:26:42] You say, 'My trainer will have my hide!'
[02/19/04 22:26:47] Klump says, '*whispers back* no way...imagine wut Sas do ta you on da way down...'
[02/19/04 22:27:07] You sit down.
[02/19/04 22:27:16] Zak turns pale
[02/19/04 22:27:20] Venge says, 'ok here goes, this one isn't mine'
[02/19/04 22:27:28] Venge says, 'borowwed this from a friend'
[02/19/04 22:27:29] Zak says, 'Never mind.'
[02/19/04 22:28:00] Venge says, 'Many ages and eons ago, from the will of the ethereal was the realm of the physical created'
[02/19/04 22:28:04] Oorhan says, 'please do, friend Venge'
[02/19/04 22:28:12] Venge says, 'for the ether sought balance'
[02/19/04 22:28:28] Venge says, 'from this blance the multiverse spwered forth and whole worlds were born'
[02/19/04 22:28:46] Venge says, 'From this ether came the most ancient of dragons,'
[02/19/04 22:29:02] Venge says, 'curious about a whole new reality to explore, they came forth in all shapes and sizes'
[02/19/04 22:29:02] Klump hasn't understood a word yet...patiently waits to.
[02/19/04 22:29:23] Venge says, 'The first to come through were dragons that burned wit ha great ghostly fire'
[02/19/04 22:29:30] Cadence listens and hopes this story doesnt revolve around the eating of dwarves
[02/19/04 22:29:40] Venge says, 'Flames consumed every inch of their body, but never harmed them'
[02/19/04 22:30:08] Venge says, 'When they passed from the ether into reality they became the starts, and for the first time Light was seen in the physical realm'
[02/19/04 22:30:26] Venge says, 'The second to come through were truly Titanic in nature.'
[02/19/04 22:30:39] Venge says, 'Matrons who spread life wherever they went'
[02/19/04 22:30:55] Morreion whispers to Klump, 'when ye dont understand a word, pretend he be sayin' Gnomes'
[02/19/04 22:31:08] Venge says, 'These Gaian giants come through and wandered the empty reality.'
[02/19/04 22:31:32] Klump whispers back 'but me unnerstan nuttin...nome nome nome nome don' make sense
[02/19/04 22:31:35] Venge says, 'sooner or later they wandered cloes to the stars and stayed there to bask in their warmth'
[02/19/04 22:31:44] Venge says, 'These dragons becaem the planets.'
[02/19/04 22:31:56] Morreion answers, 'but Gnomes be funny'.
[02/19/04 22:31:56] Zak thinks Giants?
[02/19/04 22:32:03] Venge says, 'Their mates who followed them wherever they went became the moons'
[02/19/04 22:32:04] Celawen stifles a laugh at poor lost klump
[02/19/04 22:32:19] Venge says, 'AFter the matrons came dragons of all types and sizes'
[02/19/04 22:32:31] Venge says, 'Small ones with wings of butterflies'
[02/19/04 22:32:32] Klump agrees about the always-funny gnomes.
[02/19/04 22:32:46] Venge says, 'DRagons of water, earth, ari and fire.'
[02/19/04 22:33:10] Venge says, 'Some dragons could not bear to leave behind their reality but did not want to miss out on the new adventure'
[02/19/04 22:33:31] Cadence can relate to the dragons that didnt want to mis sout on adventure
[02/19/04 22:33:34] Venge says, 'These dragons dragged some of the ether through with them and this wild force became magick'
[02/19/04 22:33:58] Venge says, 'This magick had its own thoughts and plans and shaped many new races in a myraid of shapes and forms.'
[02/19/04 22:34:07] Morreion thinks that Reality is overblown, personally.
[02/19/04 22:34:15] Celawen wonders where all the elves are ...
[02/19/04 22:34:21] Cadence agrees with Morreion
[02/19/04 22:34:27] Venge says, 'The last of the dragons stayed at the boundary between the ethereal and the physical'
[02/19/04 22:34:53] Venge says, 'Since these dragons were neither fully in one or the other of the realms, they gained the ability'
[02/19/04 22:35:09] Venge says, 'to change their physical form with the fluidity of the Ether.'
[02/19/04 22:35:28] Venge says, 'These dragons blended in an became watchers and scholars, recording history as they saw it'
[02/19/04 22:35:54] Venge says, 'and passing it on to the first new genereations of dragons that were being born'
[02/19/04 22:36:34] Venge says, '"Granther, how do you know all this." one little dragon asked while he poked the old dragon'
[02/19/04 22:36:42] Morreion tries to imagine Klump's version of the tale, but it is mostly the word 'Gnome' repeated, with an occasional 'the' and 'of' thrown in.
[02/19/04 22:36:56] Celawen laughs
[02/19/04 22:36:59] Venge says, 'The only reply he got as a small, barely, perceptible smile, while the old dragon dreamed of ages past'
[02/19/04 22:37:13] Venge says, 'and thats how all you other races really came to be hehe'
[02/19/04 22:37:23] You say, 'Well-told!'
[02/19/04 22:37:30] Morreion applauds!
[02/19/04 22:37:30] Oorhan laughs quietly
[02/19/04 22:37:31] Celawen thank you for explaining that venge
[02/19/04 22:37:35] Cadence says, 'Well that was MUCH better than the first '
[02/19/04 22:37:42] Trinsic smiles
[02/19/04 22:37:43] Zak says, 'Aye. Well told indeed!'
[02/19/04 22:37:51] Trinsic says, 'Very nice indeed Venge'
[02/19/04 22:37:53] Klump wonders what it was that the Dragon explained.
[02/19/04 22:37:57] Fistandauntilus nods in remembrence of the history of the ages.
[02/19/04 22:38:03] Venge says, 'hehe poor Klump'
[02/19/04 22:38:27] Zak says, '*wispers to Klump* You tinks dose dragons wud share som of dat stuff day been smoken wit us?'
[02/19/04 22:38:32] Trinsic says, 'Morreion, Im sure you wont get in trouble if no one tells your trainer'
[02/19/04 22:38:38] Venge says, 'heh'
[02/19/04 22:38:44] Celawen laughs
[02/19/04 22:38:50] Morreion smiles painfully.
[02/19/04 22:38:57] Klump says, '*whispers to Zak* me hopes so, but metink it jus fer dem...dem always smokin'
[02/19/04 22:38:59] Trinsic says, 'Sure Zak, nothing quite like dragonnip'
[02/19/04 22:39:11] Celawen says, 'Morreion is walking the straight and narrow path these days'
[02/19/04 22:39:30] Morreion nods his head vigorously, hoping that is true!
[02/19/04 22:39:39] Celawen laughs
[02/19/04 22:39:45] Oorhan says, 'Very well told Dragon...'
[02/19/04 22:39:54] Oorhan says, 'we are honored by your wisdom...'
[02/19/04 22:40:10] Oorhan wonders at the wisdom of eating gnomes...gaggin
[02/19/04 22:40:16] Venge Venge searches but can't find any gnomes
[02/19/04 22:40:16] Zak Claps for Venge telling two stories!
[02/19/04 22:40:30] Fistandauntilus sniffs the air
[02/19/04 22:40:40] Venge says, 'smell one fist?'
[02/19/04 22:40:56] Morreion wonders if the night would have ended in chaos already if the audience were made up of Gnomes
[02/19/04 22:41:00] Fistandauntilu says, 'I think one passed by not long ago...'
[02/19/04 22:41:23] Zak is glad he is unlikely to be mistaken for a gnome.
[02/19/04 22:41:36] Trinsic says, 'So who would like to go next?'
[02/19/04 22:41:39] Klump worries for Sasie and Robo again...not sure he could handle holding off the Dragons.
[02/19/04 22:41:41] Venge says, 'yes your too big, for awhile anyway )'
[02/19/04 22:41:45] Fistandauntilu says, 'Not to say I would have eaten it. I don't eat "every" gnome I see..'
[02/19/04 22:41:57] Cadence ponders the creation of a growth potion... cause shes smaller than some gnomes..
[02/19/04 22:42:10] Oorhan has cats that play with mice whenever they can
[02/19/04 22:42:27] Klump notices Cadence's tail, thinking that an obvious sign of Ungnomedom.
[02/19/04 22:42:30] Venge says, 'hehe really?'
[02/19/04 22:42:47] Venge says, 'its all the fat too, makes them taste yummy'
[02/19/04 22:42:55] Trinsic says, 'Aye, I havent seen many gnomes with tails'
[02/19/04 22:43:06] Oorhan says, 'aye...but you have to get variety once and a while...'
[02/19/04 22:43:17] Trinsic says, 'I wouldnt be surprised if some gnomes made themselves mechanical ones'
[02/19/04 22:43:27] Venge says, 'hehe'
[02/19/04 22:43:33] Fistandauntilu says, 'Do not worry, as we age toward adulthood gnomes become less appealing due to size. Larger beasts are more attractive for general prey.'
[02/19/04 22:43:42] Cadence glances to her tail...is happy its there... like her tail.. does not wish to see it dangling form Fist's jaws
[02/19/04 22:43:43] Morreion scritches his head
[02/19/04 22:44:34] Venge wonders at the lack of gnomes here
[02/19/04 22:44:38] Cadence for once is glad shes scrawny too....
[02/19/04 22:44:45] Oorhan is glad Paladins sword are hard to swallow...then realizes they make great picks for fangs
[02/19/04 22:44:47] Fistandauntilus glances around innocently
[02/19/04 22:45:01] Cadence wonders how Burning hands would feel from the inside..
[02/19/04 22:45:05] Klump kinda wishes he wasn't so beefy.
[02/19/04 22:45:07] Zak pulls out axe again, unsure of the meaning of recent comments.
[02/19/04 22:45:12] Oorhan wonders if there was some hidden message in the story
[02/19/04 22:45:16] Morreion would not have used the word 'scrawny'...repeats the Paladins Oath urgently!
[02/19/04 22:45:28] Fistandauntilu says, 'Fire already burns inside of us hotter than a smelter.'
[02/19/04 22:45:55] Venge says, 'hmm I think we're getting a bad reputation fist'
[02/19/04 22:45:58] Cadence says, 'Then well just trying Binding Crustals now wont we.... '
[02/19/04 22:45:58] Trinsic says, 'the straight and narrow, eh Morreion?'
[02/19/04 22:45:58] You say, 'So Fist, ye be sayin thet Dragons be fulla hot air?'
[02/19/04 22:46:11] Venge Roars and Burns the area
[02/19/04 22:46:13] Fistandauntilus grins
[02/19/04 22:46:36] Cadence casts binding crystals on herself to avoid Venge's fire.,... like cold... cold is good
[02/19/04 22:46:37] Trinsic chuckles
[02/19/04 22:46:39] Klump screams, knowing all too well the pain following accidental Dragon fire.
[02/19/04 22:46:49] Venge says, 'sorry I sneezed'
[02/19/04 22:46:53] Oorhan grins at Morreion
[02/19/04 22:47:17] Venge says, 'well well, you are just a tiny thin aren't you'
[02/19/04 22:47:21] Venge says, 'err thign'
[02/19/04 22:47:25] Zak eyelids droop and head nots.

[02/19/04 22:47:48] [Guild: Morreion] Heh
[02/19/04 22:48:01] Fistandauntilus would never waste a good bard on a meal though.
[02/19/04 22:48:09] Morreion wonders which end is the business end of a Dragon!
[02/19/04 22:48:37] Cadence says, 'Unfortunately the height passed me over.. like i said.. barely taller than a gnome.. '
[02/19/04 22:48:39] Venge says, 'I guess its hard for bipeds to tell, all 6 ends are pointy )'
[02/19/04 22:48:44] Trinsic says, 'Well, if there are people who would be interested in hearing my hoard song?'
[02/19/04 22:48:47] Oorhan wishes he didnt know
[02/19/04 22:48:54] You say, 'Surely, Trinsic!'

[02/19/04 22:49:08] Fistandauntilu says, 'We're all business on every end. Especially the sharp ones.'
[02/19/04 22:49:18] Zak bows to the room

[02/19/04 22:49:24] Klump says, 'me say wut Zak sed'

[02/19/04 22:50:11] Oorhan says, 'Well met, Klump!!..good journey'
[02/19/04 22:50:14] Klump waves goodbye vigorously, producing a tangible current of wind.
[02/19/04 22:50:15] Cadence backs away so in case Trinsic does burpo.. she still has hair and skin left
[02/19/04 22:50:16] You say, 'Me too, Klump!'
[02/19/04 22:50:25] Gilresk has logged in.
[02/19/04 22:50:32] [Guild: Morreion] Hallo Gil!

[02/19/04 22:50:50] [Guild: Oatik] greetings
[02/19/04 22:50:52] Cadence does not wish to be hoarded by any dragon...
[02/19/04 22:50:58] Trinsic says, 'yes they are all mine, hoard'
[02/19/04 22:51:06] Trinsic says, 'the well-crafted armor'
[02/19/04 22:51:08] Morreion thinks ... too much
[02/19/04 22:51:15] Trinsic says, 'how the shields do shine, hoard!'
[02/19/04 22:51:17] Venge stares at Cadence questioningly, and wonders why not?
[02/19/04 22:51:24] Trinsic says, 'delights for all tastes'
[02/19/04 22:51:34] Trinsic says, 'kegs of rarest wine, hoard'
