Meany::p

Meany:Yo.

TMG:..oh, so THOSE are the 'messages' Ghost left wverywhere. :B

TMG:Yipe!And time to go!

Meany:Ta.

Cadamon's Horse:How strange.

Landon's Horse:Quite.

Flint's Horse:Agreed.

Liatai:Okay, need tea and VAE.

Half-Orc Man:Even me know how to spell &quot;Ghost&quot;. That CLEARLY said &quot;Ghast&quot;.

Liatai:Ack!

Liatai:Drayco!!

Liatai:Great you just ruined my ambush. :P

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">...Ooops/..

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The players can't see those. :P

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Hmm?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">All I see is a token Drayco dragged out.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Then rapidly deleted when his lines was done.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Ambush&quot; as in &quot;The GM made a map for this area, so OBVIOUSLY something's going down?&quot;

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Okay, I'm gonna go get meself a GMPC token...

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">Yo.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">I have no idea who you are...

<font color="#0000ff">VAE has connected.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#B22222">How very strange.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wha --

* VAE mrows

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany, how are you able to select everyone?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#B22222">I apparently have ownership of everyone's token but Edaric's.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#B22222">No, him too.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Doo you hear the lynxes mrow, mrowing the song of angry... lynxes?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#B22222">But every time I click him, vision goes nill.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so do I

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... Ohhhhh. D

VAE:<font color="#000000">probably was one of the thingies that have to be set.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Draaaaayco.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#B22222">I have no idea.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Strict token ownership or so

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You forgot to set strict token ownership. :P

Calrach:<font color="#B22222">Hurr durr.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tea's still brewing...

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">LOOK! IT'S A DISTRACTION TO KEEP LIATAI FROM MURDERING ME!

Tathi:<font color="#B22222">Hee.

* Drayco flees!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do we reset the server and risk Tech's annoyance, or soldier on and deal with the fact that our rolls -- one moment.

14 Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Okay, where I find setting?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep, our rolls won't show up right either.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You have to set it when you start the server.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">:p

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Crap...

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Le restart?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, let's restart. Sorry, Tech. We'll save a log for you.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Okay, WHat settings do I need?

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Strict token ownership and what else?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">That we don't need to add e: in our brackets.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Display rolls, I think.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment...

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

You have disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">VAE has connected.

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco has connected.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 13&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187;

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Okay, that works.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Meany:<font color="#B22222">*chews popcorn*

Meany:<font color="#B22222">I've been looking forward to this way too much.

GM:<font color="#000000">You may be disappointed. The GM is grumpy today, but she'll try not to spill that over onto Cadamon.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what happen, GM?

* Drayco hugs Liatai.

GM:<font color="#000000">Estrogen happened. :P And I need to call a break for a few minutes, help required to unload groceries.

VAE:<font color="#000000">test?

<font color="#0000ff">VAE is disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">VAE has connected.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Vae, you're connected, but nobody's saying anything.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Guh. Okay. I'm back. =w=;;;

* VAE mrows

GM:<font color="#000000">Right then! Let's kick this off.

GM:<font color="#000000">The talk about Sszeyl's little 'condition' has just happened, to set the stage. It is Cuthon 17th, the evening after a cool and drizzly day, and Cadamon has asked to speak with Miron.

* Cadamon Gardner stands and begins to walk a distance away from the group, checking over his shoulder to make sure Miron is following.

VAE:<font color="#000000">map?

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron follows, silently, throwing a few angry glances at the other Vigilant Guardians, mainly Tathi this time.*

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

* Cadamon Gardner takes a deep breath and lets it out with a sigh, sittting against a tree trunk to be at gnome height.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Dray, send me a log of everything since you restarted the server over the IRC?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Also, I can't seem to see anyone else talking. :/.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... How are you, brother?&quot; He smirks as he says it, as though realizing how weak of an opening that was.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Log of everything?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Present.. concerned... and still somewhat sore from the impact. *weak smile in response*

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yes.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have any idea why I wished to speak with you?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">The Rin peers. #3#

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I presume it has to do with either the drow's possession...&quot; *looks down* &quot;or by my leave without permit.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">Cockroach man rub hands together. &quot;Good. Good.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">This is far too much fun for me. =3=

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Testing. :v

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

* Cadamon Gardner allows Miron to continue if he'd like.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yay~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;.. If it's the second... I shall bear any disciplinary action set forward. In the end, it proved to be less than beneficial towards our aims, though my intent was good.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">The priest smiles. &quot;Don't worry. We'll consider that little Dissociative Visual Disorder the disciplinary action for that, unless the commander says otherwise.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">*Dissociative Visual Disorder prank

Miron:<font color="#000000">*nods* &quot;That halfling got me well... I seem to have gone out of practice with pranks.&quot; *smiles weakly*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;After all, there was little reason for fun in the recent months&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What has stood out as different to you in recent months?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Wait...

Meany:<font color="#B22222">What madness is this.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Vae is using quotes!

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll be frank, brother... I'm growing rather concerned about you. You've been far angrier in these past few months than I've seen you in some time. Almost hateful.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There seems to be a rather .. higher incidence of trouble in Castleton. I mean... necromancers ,brigands and heretics were and will be, but usually, no one higher than those depraved brothers we sent to the gallows.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Angrier, you say...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who doesn't feel anger towards the wicked..&quot;

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

<font color="#0000ff">Ghostwish has connected.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;True... but to allow anger to consume us lends itself all too easily toward becoming lost in it and begin walking the same paths as our foes. Is there something troubling you, brother?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Testng.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Can anyone see me?

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">...Secret of Mana tokens?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Troubling me... there's always trouble, and it's getting worse. You heard Tathi... it might be she is biased due to her own intermittent possession... &quot;

Drayco:<font color="#6600CC">Yes, Meany, we see you.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, she isn't above attempting something ... less than rational&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Cool. Internet's been rapidly blinking on/off.

VAE:<font color="#000000">we see you

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Such as...?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;That does remind me, though. We should talk with her and ask if she'd like help with her own possession problem. It sounds far less complicated than Sszeyl's.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot; You heard her. Suppose the commander sides with me, and orders the drow contained, or... more than that. She is all well capable of stirring trouble, which... let's say that in our current situation we can hardly accord to fight our supposed allies.&quot;

Box:<font color="#B22222">Silly Gnome.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Testing, again.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">:x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. It seems to me, from his standing as if the drow... pondered embracing that which possesses him, instead of fighting it. Never mind that it's something far worse as it can take over his body as well as mind. With her.. .it's merely the mind, and usually only during periods of calm and exhaustion, when her mind isn't occupied. It's a risk still, but so far, it has paid off, and subduing her isn't that problematic, as long as there's always someone next to her, ready.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">standing might not be the rigth word

VAE:<font color="#000000">I fail at english.. something like appearance, but not physical, but of personality, through speech, actions

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">viewpoint, I think?

VAE:<font color="#000000">no, not entirely

VAE:<font color="#000000">in slovak would be &quot;vystupovanie&quot;.. .lemme see some dictionary online

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Standing works.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">It gives it an olde timey feel. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Standing does work. :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Demeanor i think

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Also good.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So where are these crazies? :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Demeanor works well. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Forest Road.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah. Couldn't recall the word. Thanks Bastet for google

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, UNINSTALL is an awesome vocaloid

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TinEKRWS3k

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about his demeanor suggested that to you?&quot;

* VAE is listening to it pretty much all day

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHv4rpBo7ss&amp;feature=related

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">EN GARDE

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, Calrach's kinda-sorta theme song.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You.. seen it yourself when he attempted to explain the situation to the group. That man is.. a cocooned danger.. well, but then, that's unsurprising.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm afraid I didn't see it. Could you explain in more detail?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not the coccooned danger part, that much is apparent... but I didn't see any desire to allow the beast control.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might be because I've been assigned to this group as a liaison for a few months now. &quot;

* Ghostwish lols at the computer beep at 3:02

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It.. is more than that. He.. many times has showed signs of defiance where it could cause risk to the entire operation, is reckless, which in this case works for the beast's favour, and more of all... i have gotten the idea he meets with other Drow in Castletion. Which just adds another dimension to the whole problem.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;How so?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot; For one, imagine them finding out and attempting to.. use it for their own ends.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It wouldn't be the first time, either.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Lol.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">They already know.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh goodness. And Cadamon has no idea that Ebonwood and Zairith are the same person. :B

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yep. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Neither does Miron

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Really? :.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Let's keep it that way.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Forever. =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Plots... &gt;:3

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What ends are you referring to, exactly?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll have to forgive me; you've likely had far more face-to-face experience with drow than I have.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm sad to say, it is true&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So far, it took a full-fledged wizard to subdue the thing. Having such a power at hand under the guise of a single, ordinary looking drow... &quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh dear. x3 Trying.. not... to snicker...

Meany:<font color="#B22222">And thati.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Is why I'm enjoying this to much.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's put it this way. Gnogglebolt.. you know him? The de-facto leader of the Guardians? With his goal of uniting Kellonian gnomes once again?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wasn't aware that that was his eventual goal, but yes, I know who you're talking about.&quot; Cadamon looks mildly confused as to where Miron could be going.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, picture the same.. but on the other edge. A dragon in a drow's body, trying to unite whatever's left of them. Drow worship power and cunning, and although this one's rather dull, what possesses him likely has that in stacks. It could be the old times all over again, and sooner than we think.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Oh poor miron.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Doomed to be murdered by a tree.

* Teeny Rin saws through tree trunk.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">You will not stop my plans, not this time.

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Sprays Rin with Mace. ))

* Cadamon Gardner touches the bridge of his nose lightly and closes his eyes before speaking. &quot;Miron... I would like to ask you to consider something, and please, take a few moments before you answer. Just as a small thought experiment... Would your opinion of Sszeyl and his position be different if he was, shall we say, a high elf?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Testing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Looks into the ground for a while, thinking* &quot;As a high elf... interesting. On one hand... his ... defects still present... but then, he'd be a lone loose cannon... well more alone. The drow in general are inclined towards evil, as they have shown many times in our history... what would took a strong push in another takes merely a nudge...&quot; &quot; He'd still be a danger..but not such an overwhelming one.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#B22222">Aww, he's afraid of me.

Sszeyl:<font color="#B22222">Good.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What if he were, instead, a half-orc?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Half-orc .. hmm. Still, less dangerous. While the half-orc are aggressive and arrogant, they usually lack the wit necessary to cause ... evil of such extent. Once again.. while he'd be dangerous, at worst we could expect him being yet another chieftain of a pillaging tribe, dedicated to Tiamat. But then.. most half-orcs live on border of society, it'd be a clear threat, not such an insidious one. &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;One last one, perhaps. What if he were human, or a gnome?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Hello?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Vae?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">You alive? =3=;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry, questions with long, complex answers. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE's been typing.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Human or gnome... I doubt such a force would have chosen a human body... &quot; *stares at his shoes* &quot;- mainly due to their short lifespan - some plans take dozens of years to hatch.&quot; &quot;But suppose so... we have, after all seen what humans can do just a few days ago, and gnomes.. i don't particularly want to think about what some of us have done as assasins or such.. Still.. the menace of the Drow overcomes it.&quot; *pauses* &quot;They.. have been essentially bred for evil and deceit for countless years by Lolth's cult.. they are to elves what a vicious wolf is to Smoke. Furthermore... they have an example in history as I have said.. it's always easier to rally towards something that has been done once already.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Almost thought he'd ghost dced.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Very well. Brother Miron... I've been noticing a few things about your behavior and language regarding Sszeyl. Please tell me if any of this is inaccurate, but this is what I've observed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at Cadamon*

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;When referring to him, you never refer to him by name; it's always as 'drow' or some other identifier, even to his face, unlike other members of the Guardians. When describing him, positive descriptions are few and far between, if present at all. Even before this issue came to light, your demeanor has been noticeably more hostile whenever he is mentioned or present... and even now, when describing these hypotheticals, your language seems to focus on the possessing spirit and the danger it poses to the outside world than to the danger it poses to the victim of its possession, which extends even to his immortal soul.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#B22222">My soul's seen worse than a dragon. =3=

Miron: <font color="#0">(( am unsurprised ))

Miron: <font color="#0">(( It *is* worse than a dragon ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#B22222">Oh you tho thweet.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It seems as though -- this may sound strong, but it seems almost as if you are making a choice to see him as a dangerous drow than a person in need of help.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. would say that he gives me little choice in that matter. Furthermore.. the danger to the outside world was,and is always the key thing to consider. &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Little choice?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">Silly Gnome.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed... for a long time I thought him to be a danger.. and now, my words turned to truth in a way even I didn't anticipate. Who knows what more we'll see from him&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother Miron, I treasure your intuition and knowledge as an archivist, and as such, I ask you to think back.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;On one side ,it's good we have our eyes on him.. on the other, he's getting insight into Mace operations&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;For a 'long time, you thought him to be a danger.' When did this start, and what evidence did you have?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I.. when I first met him in the tavern, i was .. more than suspecting, as anyone reasonable would be. However, Gnogglebolt has guaranteed for him, and for the time, that was enough to justify keeping him around. However... as time went on... I have said it already. Asides from all personal dislike... He is rather dull.. and as such, has several times demonstrated what could be seen as evidence he works for .. other masters. His somewhat odd behaviour during the apprehension of the Spindlethorn brothers would be an example &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Further and further, i'm getting the impression that his cooperation is merely a poorly maintained facade, under which the bricks are cracking with sabotage. &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, remember that bit folks? He was babbling something about not being ordered by Zairith to do whatever we needed him to

VAE:<font color="#000000">And only started being useful when he found the drowish corpse

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron remembers it well.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What behavior was this?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He let a few remarks slip about orders... and his behaviour changed drastically when we encountered a drowish corpse among the slaughtered. I believe if it wasn't so, he might even have sided with the two heretics. &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Orders from whom, to do what?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have little idea. He isn't that dull. Either way, it wasn't sufficient to warrant a full interrogation, but i have noted it regardless.. and so far, his case is only getting worse. Furthermore, he's surely in contact with other Castleton drow... one of them even unexpectedly helping us.&quot; *looks Cadamon straight into eyes* &quot;I believe they are intent on using us to get rid of their rivals, those that won't compromise with them. It's a perfect plan... much ,more so than when they pitted the elves and the dwarves against each other, mainly because the other groups are at the least just as much reprehensible as them, and so vanquishing them raises no suspicion. But we should be ready, as the fifth collumn stands by the gates.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Cadamon listens quietly for a while, before speaking again. &quot;I know this may be difficult for you, inquisitor... but I'd like to ask you to think back once more. Tell me one positive thing Sszeyl has done.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, brother. Even a rotten apple might have a flawless peel.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know, but humor me a moment.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Positive... flinging a pew at one of the necromancers in Sargano's tomb could be called that... but even that was forced by necessity&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Outside of battle, preferrably.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Outside of battle... the only prudent thing i have seen him do was furnishing abandoned buildings and caves. It is for his personal profit, but it makes sure the evil won't find a ready lair in them. To be honest, we should have been doing that, if only the Mace had more funds.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given how his situation is far from sure though, i'm still at odds at whether that's a good thing to happen.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k11ZfUy8ls&amp;feature=related This should be Tathi's themesong. Is called &quot;Demon Girlfriend&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just as I suspected.&quot; The priest gives a sad smile, tilting his head back against the tree trunk.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*nods* &quot;I'm glad you agree.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;On the contrary, my friend... you just confirmed something I was suspecting about your relationship with him.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that is, brother?&quot;

* Teeny Rin lowers glasses. &quot;You're a racist. |U&quot;

Miron: <font color="#0">(( And you're a japanese fly. Now shut up or i use Raid ))

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even not having been traveling with him, only reading reports and interacting with him on a short basis in headquarters and on the road, I've noticed several positive things about Sszeyl. One of which is a tremendous capability for forgiveness. In the Sargano tomb, all reports indicated that he even offered Miss Lundy an opportunity for salvation before battle began, more than any of us did before encountering her again. Even when his own home was broken into, he forgave his would-be assassins and requisitioned Mace aid in attempting to make amends with the very person who sent them after him. And as for the buildings themselves...&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you aware that one of them was donated to the Mace for the same reasons you spoke of above; it would be kept out of the hands of the evil forces of the world? There are plans in the works to turn it into a training ground for junior inquisitors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forgive me for the interruption, brother, but that's a good thing, how exactly? Saint Cuthbert teaches us to give evil no quarter, after all. Miss Lundy and the others have chosen their path long ago. &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also... donations. Buying trust with gifts.. that has existed as long as civillisation.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forgive me for putting it bluntly, but as the story with the cat and a bird shows, sometimes, the only reason someone pulls someone from shit is to eat him afterwards&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;We must give evil no quarter, but we must also not be unduly cruel, for there is evil in cruelty and prolonged punishment. Once punishment has been meted out, even the wicked should be shown the error of their ways and given a chance to change. This also eradicates evil, but on a far deeper level. Not only in the physical world, but in the hereafter as well.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*eat him whole

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed, which is why the heretics are given a chance to repent before they are executed&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, though I am not sure if it's for the best, those that cooperate with the hands of justice in apprehending their former colleagues are often given a pardon.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, justice is, and should be the guiding principle behind any such ocassional act&quot;

<font color="#0000ff">Ghostwish is disconnected.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and as for people choosing their paths long ago and being unable to sway from them... I would present several examples among our very brothers and sisters in the Leaden Mace Society.&quot; The priest fingers his holy symbol. &quot;Do you recall when Brother Flint joined our ranks, Miron?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Moment, gotta make more tea

Miron:<font color="#000000">I don't recall precisely - it was around the time I was assigned to Castleton that he already had his badge, albeit as an Inquisitor In Training.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which is one of the reasons we became friends of sort.&quot;

He came to us not as a potential recruit, but clad in the stinking refuse of the street, with language coarser than most sailors, and an attitude more abraisive than sandpaper.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, no worries, sounds like yours starts at the beginning\

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm good

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's the first sentence you have?

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;A necromancer had slain two of his friends in the sewers, similar penniless men and women, who disappear every day without fanfare or justice... and that is exactly what many of the inquisitors at the time whispered to themselves. They didn't want to take on a case which surely offered little reward, chasing down a two-bit necromancer for the sake of some gutterfolk who were probably criminals themselves.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Especially with Flint's attitude.&quot; =3=;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... but some did. Inquisitor Skar and the late Inquisitor Rockfield were two of them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed... I remember he managed to have an argument with Landon,even.&quot; *smiles* &quot;Either way... I'm glad things changed since then. After all, like a tree grows from a sapling, great evil grows from small roots.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rockfield... the one I was assigned to patrols with, right? &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, Rockfield was Skar's superior, though you may have patrolled once or twice with him. But, as some elves say, a beautiful lotus flower only grows from soiled water. Everyone thought that once the case was done, Flint would go back to the streets, 'surely robbing people -- we're sure to see him again in cuffs, mark my words.'&quot; He smiles sadly. &quot;That was Inquisitor Golrunn, bless him. And now look. One of our finest inquisitors.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;To say nothing of the Malinos. My word. Robin had such an arrest record.&quot; ^^;;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">read up. Fascinating. :U

TMG:<font color="#000000">also;; VAE using quotes! Woohoo, good on ya mate! Thank you for ending the headaches for us!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">SMILEEEEEYS &gt;:O *points!*

TMG:<font color="#000000">yes, oops, fixed

Meany:<font color="#B22222">And Tech says that as smileys appear.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">|B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, right... by the Cudgel.. all the names and faces.. it might have to do with age&quot; *smiles apologetically* &quot;But regardless..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There are people like Flint, who go rotten on the surface due.. due to what the society does to them, like fruit that has been tossed around. But, like said fruit, you cut out the rotten piece, and you move them, and you'd never been able to tell who they were.&quot; &quot;In others, however, like Miss Lundy we have encountered, the rot is on the inside, so that when it seeps out through a blister on the peel. it's entirely too late, and the least you can do is toss it out to avoid spoiling the whole batch.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">test?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yo.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah, good

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Lialag?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">:31

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which do you see Sszeyl as?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You probably know all too well, brother.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm afraid I do... and also that my perception is the opposite.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.. i can say little to that. Time shall tell which of one of us was correct, either way.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well... but given as his case is due to become Mace business, I have a suggestion for you that may smooth the investigation process. Not an order... but a friendly suggestion.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps so... after all we still have to hear Commander Ashmore's stance on the whole issue, and I think he'll take my side, making the point moot. One wise man said that history repeats twice- first as a tragedy, then as a farce. I have lived through the first, and don't want to see the second.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. :p

VAE:<font color="#000000">The above is actually a real quote by K. Marx :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">(the repeating twice bit)

Meany:<font color="#B22222">The one thing that came out of his mouth what wasn't sillyness.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ehm.. mainly because you know little that came out of his mouth.

TMG:<font color="#000000">ookay, let's not make this devole into political fighting...\

VAE:<font color="#000000">but well, that's not a matter for maptool :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Political fighting is fun!

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll have to see, but I doubt the case is quite as dire as you're making it out to be. Dangerous and dire, yes... but not about to spark a second Underdark War.&quot; ^^; &quot;In the meantime... I suggest that you start trying to call Sszeyl by name.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a courtesy we extend to every client of the Leaden Mace Society, and it can only improve your standing with those surrounding him, which if nothing else will make it easier to learn more.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If it's only that... &quot; *smiles* &quot;I suppose I can&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, there's a fair bit more that I would like to suggest, but baby steps are better than roadblocks.&quot; ^^ &quot;Thank you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you brother, for hearing me out on this, and for explaining your stance.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">|.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">No devolving into a screaming match? What kind of extremist group is this Mace?!

Meany:<font color="#B22222">:B

VAE:<font color="#000000">XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">The calm, rational, and utterly insane extremist.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Nothing in that sentence.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The Dr. Gears sort of one.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Describes followers.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Of St. Cuthbert.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at the ground again* &quot;I must admit that for a while, I thought the certain .. recklessness and hero spirit of some in the Guardians have brushed off on you&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">You seem to forget. Your group is supposed to be heroes. :B

* Cadamon Gardner smirks. &quot;Your short career in Castleton shows itself.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Short but eventful, I'd say. Up north it was far more straightforward&quot; *laughs*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most of the time, one could tell the enemy by his red eyes or rotting limbs&quot;

* Cadamon Gardner chuckles. &quot;I suppose it must seem very short to you.&quot; ^^ &quot;But let's simply say that there was quite a bit of 'hero spirit' behind the decision to swap acolyte's robes for an inquisitor's armor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? I know Thomas joined us in such a way... &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. didn't quite expect it from yourself.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Ashmore was secretly a bard before he joined the Mace.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Known throughout the land as Glitter Ash.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah. Coolidge McGrumpyface, the angry bard.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I may be so bold, brother... what originally drove you to join the Leaden Mace?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Drow burned down my home. I wanted to get back at them.&quot; &quot;....Things make a lot more sense now, and not in a good way. -_-; &quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(P )

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm not sure whether to x3 or to ^^;. :B

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Both.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">x3;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at the ground* &quot;That was.. years ago.. longer than you are alive, I'd say. Either way... it wasn't all that long after the Mace has formed, up in the north. See... after what the Drow did, a bunch of us survived, but .. like with Flint it went all kinds of wrong.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was left with an apprentice alchemy training, and not much left in the world. The thing that kept me from either just drifting along, or .. worse was the thought that if I, or the others do that, we'll act in line with them .. For a while, I made a living making healing potions, but as the war ended, there was a lot of such... furthermore, I wanted to do somethign more.. but I lacked the means to do so&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;After.. there was some major trouble in the mountains, It might have been the leftovers of the Lolth followers. The Mace needed new members, and suppose I was in the right place at the right time. One of the recruiters there who assessed me, I think he was a dwarf, said that if I know how to read and write, i'll do well enough for an inquisitor-archivist, and had me learn basic liturgy of the Cudgel.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">He thought you were a dwarf, too. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm not gonna lie.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I read that line as &quot;I think he thought I was a dwarf.&quot; :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bwahaha

VAE:<font color="#000000">Actually, it might have happened

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't think he mentioned it, but the potionmaking he did was mostly for a dwarven army regiment

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's where he knows the language from

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Woo backstory! :D

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Wee~

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Some method to the madness. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you can see, I did learn.. maybe Saint Cuthbert rewarded me for taking his words into my soul as well... With his aid, I was finally able to strike back, at those who caused all of this. And then it went along.. Inquisitor In Training, Junior Inquisitor.... first success in solving a case, Inquisitor title.. in the time, i have walked pretty much all of the mountain cities, and their Mace branches.. then, they thought me fitting to be assigned to the big C as they call it... Castleton's been rather.. legendary among us up there, and not in a good way. And the rest.. you remember it more than myself.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, I hope I didn't cause Liatai too much headache with the backstory

VAE:<font color="#000000">As in, inventing places and people

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not at all! Love the backstory. :D

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tried to be reasonably vague about it

* Liatai clings to backstory and hoards it. 83

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, but tech was right. What kept Miron from becoming a criminal, a drunk, or just ending it was the sheer hate for the drow and their companions.

TMG:<font color="#000000">and now...

TMG:<font color="#000000">Cadamon's response. :3 *sits and waits eagerly*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Way to make one conscious of the spotlight. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">(oops, sorry. ^^; )

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well, I hope you weren't bored to tears by the confessions of an old stooge, Brother&quot; *laughs nervously*

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not at all, brother. In fact... it was rather illuminating.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, if you are up to returning such favour, I'll listen.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Ohno.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Asking the GM for random backstory.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Illuminating.. when one looks at it with a clear mind. As I told Thomas a few days ago.. it is interesting how the vile plans of some have ..unexpected consequences. &quot;

* Meany dives into the bunker.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hehe... well, it's nowhere near as interesting as your story, I'm afraid.&quot; ^^; &quot;I joined Saint Cuthbert's clergy at an early age...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hah! :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You say that like I DON'T have Mace character backstories written out in my head. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alberic Ashmore was one of my teachers at one point, as a matter of fact, though of course he wasn't the commander at the time. Merely a senior inquisitor... which really isn't very mere at all.&quot; ^^ &quot;While I was happy to minister to the sick and injured and help to teach others of the Saint's words, I felt as though I could be doing a great deal more good out in the world. And... I would be lying if I didn't say there wasn't a certain degree of teenage hubris and hunger for adventure involved.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cuthbert's clergy is closely involved with the Leaden Mace Society, so I accompanied a group of inquisitors on a mission as a liason with the church... and the rest is history, as they say.&quot; ^^

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Saint's cudgel, has it really been ten years since then?&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And rightfully so. Merely healing the injuries caused by evil without striking back resembles setting up a healer's tent at the bottom of a fissure&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">You know.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Time flows like ale.. frothy, unclear ,and can leave you with a headache, but without it there's little you can do&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">I think Miron might be sociopathic. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">And you say that as Sszeyl's player ... :B

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Sszeyl's just a good actor. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">yea... I SOO believe that

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Spoken like someone who has worked a long time with dwarves, indeed.&quot; ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, I quite like them. Straight up, honest folk.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#B22222">I'm not going to touch that. |B

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can imagine so.&quot; The priest suddenly frowns. &quot;... I do hope brother Gilric hasn't aggravated his injury any further.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's another thing I picked up there - if you're breathing, it isn't an injury.&quot; *laughs*

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You and Carthan. I swear.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As one of my superiors used to say. 'We'll catch up on the lying down in our tombs' &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitors are much more useful out of their tombs, though, and a little lying down is a small price to pay for staying out of them for a while longer --&quot; There he goes. Lecture tone. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps so... bloody slime... It almost accomplished what necromancers and diabolists have been trying for ages.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was worse than what that hellhound did&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're very lucky that you came out of it without any permanent damage. There are those who were affected by slimy doom and regardless of proper treatment never recovered their full health.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess that's bit of a reward from Saint Cuthbert.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps.&quot; ^^

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... though please don't let it happen again.&quot; *_*

Miron:<font color="#000000">*smiles* &quot;I don't intend to... getting infected, that is. &quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&gt;8O &quot;Inquisitor...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks down* &quot;Allright, brother. I seen for myself that my presence here has accomplished little for such a risk&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;That was mainly a case of poor timing, brother... but I suppose I'll take a minor victory?&quot; ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">Shall we draw this to a close soon? :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Poor timing, and an undead bird I barely persuaded to let me go. &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Indeed

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, I guess the matters between us are clear now.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or is there anything else you wished to discuss?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#B22222">Miron's wrong, Cadamon's right, and let's all have pie.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Y'know, that's a good question. How come I'm the one who got sick? &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Actually, as an aside, this makes me wonder about what the Mace was in Castleton when Miron came in.

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">You stood out in the rain overnight.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">I was under a tree and a hat... &gt;.&gt;;;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I had to wing it a bit here, and the fact that Miron has been alive for hundreds of years kinda helped, but still.

VAE:<font color="#000000">There's a lot of stuff he'd probably recall.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ashmore was commander, Cadamon was a senior analyst (edging away from inquisitor into support status a little), and there were... at least six inquisitors who are no longer with the Mace, either retired or killed on duty.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Silly Flint.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">The tree was indifferent to your suffering.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's what sort of interests me

VAE:<font color="#000000">The two mentioned for example. Asides from that, who was Miron assigned to pair with, when he came in?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You have free reign to make that up. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nice.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm trying to build the Lorellon Mace branch. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Of course, then, there's all the Mace branches in the north. If we ever go into the mountains, people might actually recognise Miron as former colleague

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Including the region's High Commander. ASHMORE'S superior. I am fighting the urge to make it not Alex Louis Armstrong's sister who was the CO in Briggs. What was her name. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">This is one bit of backstory i didn't quite think through, i guess, in terms of workload

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Olivier.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Fortress in the frozen north.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">A big dam-like structure set in a mountain pass.

* VAE bets there's a branch somewhere up north where half the inquisitors are dwarves.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">The other half are Snow Elves.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They probably think the cudgel is a kind of a hammer :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mladshiy Serzhant&quot; - junior sergeant for example

VAE:<font color="#000000">So i find it kinda natural.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lieutenant Commander, Commander, High Commander, and perhaps... hmm. What would be the title for a single, overarching commander? Commander in Chief will probably result in people calling the leader Mr. President. :B :B :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Do they have one?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Good point.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, you could have an acting council body

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Hmm.

VAE:<font color="#000000">After all, there aren't that many regions

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Marshal?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And Council of High Commanders sounds... pardon my language, a little badass. x3 Me likey!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Besides, don't forget the temporary Acting Commander title. Basically someone can take a branch over with a letter of permit if situation calls for it

Liatai:<font color="#000000">True. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">And it indeed does, though not as badass as O5 Council XD

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Or wartime titles.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(SCP Foundation stuff)

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Captain Commander of the Order.

VAE:<font color="#000000">of the Society you mean

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Yes. |B

VAE:<font color="#000000">They are not a monastic order, even though some live kinda like it.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Not all Orders are monks.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Knights, for example.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Er

VAE:<font color="#000000">Knights WERE monks

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Nah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They were.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">They pretended to be monks.

Meany:<font color="#B22222">They were soldiers. |B

VAE:<font color="#000000">They were the badass sort of monk that'd chop off your heretic head, but still

Meany:<font color="#B22222">They were also hypocrites.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, folks, shall we head back to Liatalk?

Meany:<font color="#B22222">Sure~

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

GM:<font color="#000000">Before most of the log is taken up by OOC talk? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Liatalk and my atrium XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Since the first is getting a bit overpopulated

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, Drayco, server can go down at your leisure. Thank you! :D
