==The Mysterious Master Bard Performs - Log by Gwyrdain==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Kitchen&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits: west]&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hum [ Ra:21 Ma:22 Th:21 ] Gwyrdain is scribbling at a long bench in the Kitchen.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'hello, again.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You blink.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
look&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Kitchen&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[Exits: west]&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Any experienced adventurer can tell you that it isn't always easy to&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
find food. For new adventurers this task is even more difficult.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Originally this room was built to feed those adventurers who could not&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
do it for themselves. Dues negotiations with guild members forced&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
cutbacks in the staff and building maintenance so that all that is left&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
now is a fountain where you can still get a drink.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A small white fountain gushes forth here.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in common), 'It wasn't imagination... or maybe it was. In either case, hello'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain rolls out a parchment.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone smiles happily.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'it wasn't. You asked for a song..'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Did I?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'perhaps I misunderstood. Perhaps it was I that was asleep and dreaming.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Oh the sprite who would be bard.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I am more bard than sprite.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I heard the words.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar licks you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar yawns.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'how goes?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Hrmm, slowly. just jotting down some old memories'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You wield a long black quill.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar peeks over your shoulder.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Perhaps another time would be better..?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'hmm...yes...farfen gruuten, I remember that'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar nods at himself; he must be getting senile.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Belsambar. Did you hear that voice?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'what voice?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You frown. What's bothering you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'I hear lots of voices. I shoulda said 'which voice'.  Wwoulda gotten my joke across better'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone takes a seat on the edge of the fountain, swishing fingertips through the water.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'did you see the waves in the fountain's pool just now?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar nods.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'You asked me, last night, to 'sing you a lay' to help the words to flow. One a'plaisance and cheery.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone tells Belsambar, 'Bels.. can you pretend to be oblivious?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar tells Someone (in common), 'I have to pretend?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone tells Belsambar, 'DO NOT reveal my presence... but stay in the kitchen...'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar tells Someone (in common), '*salutes* Captain Oblivious reporting for duty'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone giggles at Belsambar's actions.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I did not have one ready. I do now. If you would hear it.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain tilts his head in curiosity.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Yes hidden muse, I do wish it'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone smiles happily.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'well, as I am no sprite ... I wrote of another bard, who inspired me greatly.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone sings, 'Have you ever heard the tale'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone sings, 'Of Oook, the Ogre Bard?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Someone sings, 'and the wilds beyond the ghosts:'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Someone sings, 'Blood and gore, he proudly wore,'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Someone sings, 'Our Oook was dearest dear'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain cracks what may even be the hint of a smile.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The bard falls silent, a smile of remembering flashing across their face.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I apologize.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You bow deeply.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'For what?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I disbelieved this strange voice and questioned its veracity. Bard you are. My heart is less weary for a little while'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says quietly, 'Then I am glad.'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Thank you. But if bard you are and no sprite our to do mischief...'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;###&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; DarkClaw is visible to all mortals.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;gl&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(Intense Dark Purple Aura) DarkClaw is here.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw smiles happily.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I am not a sprite. Though I cannot pretend never to have done mischief.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw shows off her Oook Fan Club button.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'That is the very button I mentioned!'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone points at DarkClaw accusingly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
loo dark p&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To stand in Her presence is to be rendered speechless: This is no mere mortal,&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
but the quintessential seductress, potent in her ripe perfection, incarnate in&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
her beauty. Lilith herself pales in comparison: the gleaming scarlet luster of&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Her eyes, the tawdry tumble of Her long sable hair -- as if just risen from an&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
evening's pleasures...dangerous sensuality is a tangible aura around her, like&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
the corona of the full moon. Voluptuous curves to make any heart pound, grace&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
of a stalking leopard, this is not a woman who can be underestimated. Her prey&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
is delight and sacrifice and sustenance, Scions enraptured in their service to&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Her. The particulars of Her ensemble are nearly irrelevant save for the loving&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
way that an inky velvet gown enfolds Her, falling in regal folds to the ground,&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and leather caresses her, drawing in an already narrow waist. The rarest gems&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
and metals have been crafted into elegant jewelry that cannot compete with Her &amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
beauty, and the delicate flutter of the wings of bats flitting about Her makes&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
a living, chittering frame to draw every eye. Ancient but untouched by Time, a&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
power to stir the dreams of the living, She is the gatekeeper of Death itself:&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
unliving yet utterly alive, undead yet filled with every passion of existence.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw is bathed in the essence of charisma.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw is in perfect health.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You raise your eyebrow.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'It sings!'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'I apologize. I heard myself in song and had to show off the button.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw grins evilly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I am honored that you heard, and sought to share, Lady.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'were you going to ask something? Since I am a bard, if sometimes a mischievous one... '.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'only this. What bard lives beyond sight?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'All that have studied certain scrolls.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'The bard invis is QUITE strong.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You frown. What's bothering you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'hrmph'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'are you here are you there?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I am here. Sometimes I am there. Sometimes I am where I wish to be, and sometimes I am not. But at this moment - this, here - is where I am, and wish to be.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Will you be a muse to me? I still have much work'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone blinks.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'But do you not write of your family history?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain dips quill to ink.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I'm not sure how I could, in proper muse fashion, inspire such things.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Ur-hmm'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'No matter, perhaps the soft trickling of the fountain will suffice'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I could fetch fancy inks, from grumpy octopi beneath the sea.. Or chase ostriches about, plucking their feathers until they squawk...'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You chuckle.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You cough.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Excuse me'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'tell me of what you write. I can ask uneducated questions, and perhaps it will spark further memory. If sparking memory is what you wish.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw grins, envisioning that picture.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone grins mischievously at DarkClaw.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone winks at DarkClaw.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'spark? Or....sparkle?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Bels, NO!'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone glares at Belsambar.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar stares at the sky.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone giggles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw groans loudly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'I do NOT wish to sparkle!'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'NO idea what you're talking about...'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You blink.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'You'll ruin his ink and scrolls... so don't you dare.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar chuckles, evidently amused.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'I'll do it some other time when he doesn't have things out and about'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'See, Gwyrdain? There is your motivation.. if you stop... We are all doomed to sparkly horrific-ness. Write, man, write!'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You raise your eyebrow.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Did I tell you my name, muse?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You frown. What's bothering you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone hesitates. &amp;quot;No. You did not. But you are known.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Am I for this? I think I deliberate over much -- is it this word or that?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain closes one eye and looks to the ceiling with the other.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Are you for what? Conversation?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'oh, sorry'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone rises from the fountain's edge, fingers trailing one last time through the clear water.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'No, no. The scrolls'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Ah. Well, they are a family history, yes?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'er'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Tales of distant uncles, famed old warhorses.. and maiden aunts with huge warts upon their noses?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Not... exactly?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone giggles.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw chuckles, evidently amused.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Surely there's a dreadful monster or two..?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I write what I must because if I do not these things will be lost'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Are they things that should not be lost? Some times prefer it that way.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Perhaps, but I think not.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'There are those of us who have lost quite a bit throughout our lives.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Even in pain and loss He teaches us'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone frowns.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'now, if I was scolded for the thought of singing dirges... why should you write of them?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'Those of us who walk a lost path, even.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I only refer to things 'preferred lost.'' I don't cross that bridge today. These tales inform our descendants. These tales inform ourselves'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'So you write of future history?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone thinks that maiden aunts with huge warts sounds far more cheery.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw grins evilly at someone.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You frown. What's bothering you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'That sounds like another Oook song.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I write so that I may see a path marked down through the ages. A path whose end is Him'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw ponders what you are talking about.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'It is easy to lose track of'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone gets out a worn scrap of parchment, dark with ink traces, and a bedraggled quill.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'Do you believe the same path should be sought after generation through generation?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'believe?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'should?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You frown. What's bothering you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'No. But there is a path therein woven. Whether desired or no. Sometimes it is plain to see. Sometimes not'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'But, just as the ground shifts with time, so do the paths.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Sometimes throughout the journey. Sometimes only at journey's end. Sometimes only to be see from another's vantage point...'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone fills a water skin with water.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone scribbles a quick line or three.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'We perceive some paths to shift'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Surely that is so'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone bows before DarkClaw.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw beams a smile at someone.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone nods in recognition to you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'But there is a hand at work. Perhaps smaller hands may be allowed or even encouraged to meddle'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone glances up from her writing to ask, 'Always? Is His hand in all things?'&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'Perhaps more than one hand.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Yes, in all things. Through care or disregard'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain purses his lips.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone nods silently, falling silent.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Belsambar says (in common), 'apparently my Thoras is rusty at best'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'I've never heard such humble words'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You poke him in the ribs.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain spends a minute alone with his parchment.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone echoes his movement, the quill flying across the page.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'I'm going to take my leave and leave you to your writings. I apologize for interrupting.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Nice to see you, young DarkClaw'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You bow before her.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone beams a smile at DarkClaw.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Thank you for showing him the button.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw smiles happily.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'Always a pleasure, Gwyrdain.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You wink suggestively at DarkClaw.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'and for listening to my silly little song.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'The song was not silly at all. I quite enjoyed it.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw beams a smile at someone.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw says, 'Be safe, both of you.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone bows formally, fingertips flicking in some complex gesture. &amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw grins and bares her fangs. Tendrils of fog rise from the ground, twisting their way up and around her form to shroud it from view.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone continues writing, glancing up briefly as the priest enters.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone looks up from the scrap of parchment.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'I've another....'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Zounds'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone indicates the scribbles, ink still wet.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Though it's a touch bawdy. Based on our aforementioned awful uncle and aunt.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain smirks wryly.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone asks, grinning a touch: &amp;quot;Do you dare to hear it?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You say (in old-common), 'Please'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Gwyrdain waves a hand to the table top.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone rises from the fountain's edge, and stands, leaning against the table.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone clears their throat.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Sitting here, I grumble at this awful pale expanse'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'Quill clutched within my fingers, pooling inkstains on my pants'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'With furrowed brow and clench of teeth, I hollar at my muse'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), 'And wonder why my epic tale seems more like strangest news:'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Someone says (in old-common), '&amp;quot;It started back, before the war, with Uncle Mitchell May,'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: Of course.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tells DarkClaw, '*quietly* I am taking the guise of a mortal bard...to perform a piece at Gwyrdain's request. You are mentioned in it. If you wish to hear, in silence... you are invited.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tells DarkClaw, ':)'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir tells DarkClaw, 'I'm glad you enjoyed it. . . it was surprisingly fun to write. I have not written since .. since Isolas left.'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw tells Cordir, 'So it is alright if I go vis as long as I don't give away your illusion?'.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: *nod*  I was rather surprised as well.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: *breaks into a smile of her own.*&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: *tilts her head a bit with curiosity*  Why do you lead him on to think you are just a faceless bard instead of who you really are?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: Because he does not see Cordir. He sees only a Goddess.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: *blinks, thinking those words through*  And...you wish for him to see more of you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: not just the Deity.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: You wish for him to see the dear friend that lies beneath.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: just .. me.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: Gwyrdain has always been one of the wise ones.  Are you so certain that he does not see the real you?&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: twice, no.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: Only the Incarna.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: *softly*  Yet, because you are invis...he still does not see you.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: There are those who have no desire to see beyond the face of their Deity.  Some even fear what they may find.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DarkClaw: I'm heading out for now.  Have a good rest of the evening.&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cordir: take care, Star&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
