Binding the Tainted - Part I

The Tasks:

The Sanctuary of Fate
[Exits: north]
The breathtaking loveliness of a midnight shadowed garden embraces you. The
night sky is filled with stars... no, not stars, but strands of light which
shimmer at the edges of sight. The soft call of unseen birds provides sweet
melody to please the ear and the low hoot of an owl echoes out of the trees.
A thick tangle of web-shrouded briar roses marks the boundaries of the area
and every conceivable variety of flower blooms within, despite the darkness.
Here and there, care has been taken to create gathering places in the glade,
from an intimate nook of soft, thick moss beneath a veiling willow tree, to
a low, gentle dell where a large group could rest in comfort. Each cardinal
point is marked by its own unique archway. Ebon flames beckon within a trio
of them, and the fourth is sealed by an enormous spiderweb. At the heart of
the clearing is a large round seal of orichalcum.
A shallow pool, its waters troubled and crimson-hued, lies here.
A small weaving loom is barely visible amidst the trees.
(Light Cyan Aura) Tranquility is resting here.
(Invis) (Light Cyan Aura) Solaron is here.
(Light Cyan Aura) Katrana is resting here.
(Light Blue Aura) Garland is resting here.
(Light Cyan Aura) DarkClaw is here.
(Light Cyan Aura) Clue is here.
Midas is resting here.

A low moan echoes through the garden.

Tranquility looks about.

Elae peeps her head out of the willow.

Her expression is troubled, and she bites her lip.

Tranquility smiles happily.

Elae looks in the pool.

Katrana raises an eyebrow.
Katrana gazes to the pool.

Tranquility says (in common), 'Lae, are you alright?'.

Tranquility gazes at Lae, then at the pool.

l in pool
A shallow pool with unquiet waters contains:
The web-like indigo strands of an enchantment seem to be unravelling...
The waters shimmer here with the reflection of an angry Drow woman.

The dryad turns to you all, and whispers, 'I pray it isn't too late...'

Clue looks around.

Tranquility blinks.

Elaeshavarn says, 'We must strengthen the bindings on the Tainted One.'
Elaeshavarn says, 'We must do this, you and I. The Weaver cannot interfere.'

Tranquility nods.
Clue nods.
Katrana nods.

Elae bites her lip murmuring, 'Were one of the Three to actively battle the others...'
Elae whispers, 'The world could shatter.'

A shadow passes over the full moon above. Then another.
A flock of ravens circles overhead, strangely silent.

You hear a low, angry whisper: *Give....*
You hear a low, angry whisper: *...Me...*
You hear a low, angry whisper: *...Release...!*

Tranquility shivers uncomfortably.

The water of the pool turns a bloody crimson and moves violently.

Solaron looks forlornly towards the closed door.

Tranquility says (in common), 'Clue, I missed the first of this....'.

You hear a low, angry whisper: *Healer, you know my name.... speak it!*

Tranquility says (in common), 'What do we need to do to bind?'.

You hear an angry scream *SPEAK MY NAME!*

Clue says (in old-common), 'the Incarna of Wyld has been temporarily bound in the pool by Elae'.

Elae puts one finger to her lips, in a gesture of silence.

Katrana looks around for the whisper.

Elae murmurs, 'DO NOT speak the Tainted's name. Names have power.'

Katrana nods to Elae.

Clue says (in old-common), 'she is the Tainted one, daughter of the Spider Queen'.

A dark stain flows outwards from the pool, stretching towards the Shamaness Adept.

Tranquility nods.

Midas shudders from the sheer thought of it.

Katrana follows the stain carefully with her eyes.

Tranquility looks to Katrana, stepping backwards involuntarily.

It creeps ever closer, like a sanguine flood.

The dryad takes a step, making a sound of protest.

Katrana jumps then turns to Elae.

Involuntarily, the hands of the Blades creep towards their weapons.

The Weaver says, "I may not intervene. But this is yet MY holy place."

The Dryad says, 'The deaths in Southshire just made Her stronger...'

Elae says, 'The Passionate's first knight can tell you what happened there...'

The Dryad glances at the Lady's Handmaiden.

Clue says (in old-common), 'Keller?'.

Tranquility nods slowly.
Tranquility says (in common), 'Indeed.'.

The Dryad nods at the Healer.

Tranquility says (in common), 'He and I spoke of this...'.
Tranquility says (in common), 'of the slaughter, the imprisonment...'.

Elae says, 'so many deaths... deaths of those with the Weaver's bloodline...'
Elae hugs her tree for comfort.

Tranquility wraps her wings about her shoulders.

The Dryad says, '...And the strengthening of the Briar Rose, as She prepares for Becoming...'

Tranquility looks to Katrana.

Elae hides her face.
Elae whispers, 'She is so angry! and so much stronger than we expected...'

You hear a snarl: *WITNESS ME!*

### [Somewhere, Tranquility tells Katrana (in common), 'You are the Rose, are you not?']

Clue bares her fangs.

You hear a snarl: *WITNESS ME!*

As if summoned against her will, the Guardian Spider creeps down from the webs.

The Guardian spider hisses. *I Will NOT!*
The Guardian spider says (in old-common), 'I acknowledge another.'
The Guardian spider says (in old-common), 'I will not Witness you. I refute you, Tainted.'

Katrana turns to the Guardian.

Solaron ftells, 'Whew, she got told.'.

Tranquility bows low to the Lady Guardian.

Guardian bows deeply before the Handmaidens.
Guardian then turns to the Chosen and others present.
Guardian asks (in old-common) 'Have you gathered those things named?'

The web opens.
Humble arrives from the north.
Humble closes the web.
Humble bows before Clue.
Humble smiles happily.
Humble rests.

You say, 'May I ask whom invited you in when the door was closed?'.

Clue says (in old-common), 'i have the shackles and the Chalice'.

Humble says (in common), 'me'.
Humble says (in common), 'I am looking..'.
Humble opens the web.
Humble stands up.
Humble leaves north.

You close the web.
You create a silver weaving shuttle out of thin air!

The Guardian asks, "And the other items?"

Tranquility raises an eyebrow.

believe a vial of Cirth's has been obtained, hopefully it is still potent'.

The spider nods.

DarkClaw nods.

The Guardian spider says (in old-common), 'I know not the ceremonies.'

The Guardian asks, "Have you the Name?"

Clue says (in old-common), 'the Name of the Triat? or of the Tainted one?'.

The Guardian asks, "The name of the Three. Shar-Ti bid you seek it out."

Clue hangs her head and murmers, "not all three."

The Guardian frowns.

The Guardian says, "It is needed. The Shadow understood this."
The Guardian says, "It must be obtained."

Tranquility blinks as if confused.

Katrana nods in recognition to Tranquility.

Clue says (in old-common), 'i understood that Cordir's Shadow knew'.

The Guardian says, "Seek out the Name"

Solaron ftells, 'Which Name is this, Clue?'.

The Guardian says, "Then seek Okali"

Tranquility smiles happily.

Tranquility ftells, 'Of the Spire. That I know well.'.
Tranquility ftells, 'it is close to my home.'.
Tranquility ftells, 'how many do we have?'.
Tranquility ftells, 'or do we need all three?'.


Clue sighs loudly.
Clue so much i don't know ...

Clue says (in old-common), 'you say the Name ... do you mean Names?'.

Solaron shakes his head.

Until the day they make these fall.

Names are Theirs with no ending: each a facet of Their soul.
Countless aspects waxing greater: each a part of Ebon night.
Served by many. Magus. Prophet. Warder. Dhole.

One set of names at the center
One set of names and one alone
Recite and see the magic three
Turn thy foes to dust and bone

The Sanctuary of Fate

The Sanctuary of Fate
[Exits: north]
The breathtaking loveliness of a midnight shadowed garden embraces you. The
night sky is filled with stars... no, not stars, but strands of light which
shimmer at the edges of sight. The soft call of unseen birds provides sweet
melody to please the ear and the low hoot of an owl echoes out of the trees.
A thick tangle of web-shrouded briar roses marks the boundaries of the area
and every conceivable variety of flower blooms within, despite the darkness.
Here and there, care has been taken to create gathering places in the glade,
from an intimate nook of soft, thick moss beneath a veiling willow tree, to
a low, gentle dell where a large group could rest in comfort. Each cardinal
point is marked by its own unique archway. Ebon flames beckon within a trio
of them, and the fourth is sealed by an enormous spiderweb. At the heart of
the clearing is a large round seal of orichalcum.
(Token magic) A magical spring flows from the ground here.
A shallow pool, its waters troubled and crimson-hued, lies here.
A small weaving loom is barely visible amidst the trees.
