Day 80 of Autumn, 539


Tenebrion says, "I will listen to the three only. Observers may stay but I will not listen to them."
Tenebrion says, "Greetings."
Tenebrion says, "Which of the three is the user of a pendant."
(J'nder acknowledges Tenebrion)
(J'nder raises her hand)
Tenebrion says, "We may begin."
Elenis Reyav says, "Both Thuja and J'nder are..."
Thuja says, "J'nder and I have a pendant"
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
Tenebrion says, "I have two concerns I would like to make public."
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
Tenebrion says, "I value my privacy greatly."
Tenebrion says, "I would like to know what I can do to prevent the attacks upon my home."
J'nder says, "seal the back entrance"
Tenebrion says, "I have held my armies from attacking your town until this meeting in
the hope we may find a solution."
Tenebrion says, "The well is my water supply."
J'nder says, "extend the walls then"
Elenis Reyav says, "Perhaps if you enclosed the well entrance west of the lake within a wall as well."
Tenebrion says, "I will speak to my gardener of that."
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
Tenebrion says, "My second concern is that I wish to purchase more of the pendants."
J'nder says, "you must be aware Tenebrion , whatever we three may agree.
We cannot enforce those agreements on our fellow exiles"
Tenebrion says, "I understand J'nder."
(Tyking II ushers)
J'nder says, "and if I may make a point"
(Tenebrion listens.)
J'nder says, "I was amongst the first to talk with your first envoy"
J'nder says, "when he first mentioned your interest in a pendant"
J'nder says, "when accomanying him here"
J'nder says, "I was attacked by your guards"
J'nder says, "unprovoked"
Tenebrion says, "So many of my guards have been killed."
Tenebrion says, "I have asked them to stay their hands."
J'nder says, "this was before most of attacks"
Tenebrion says, "They seek vengeance for their fallen comrades."
(Tyking II glances at Elenis)
J'nder says, "my point being"
Tenebrion says, "No exile was attacked by my troops unprovoked."
J'nder says, "I was"
(J'nder looks at Tenebrion)
Tenebrion says, "I will investigate the matter J'nder. If I find the guard responsible I will punish him severely."
Elenis Reyav says, "On the subject of the Pendant sales Tenebrion..."
J'nder says, "publishment is not that which I seek"
Elenis Reyav says, "As with any transaction, the people of Puddleby would like to know
what the pendants will be used for."
J'nder says, "I was merely showing that both sides are being held resposinble for the action
of those not in their conrol"
Elenis Reyav says, "If we do..."
Tenebrion says, "A good point J'nder."
Thuja says, "If I may ask, Tenebrion..."
Tenebrion asks, "Yes Thuja?"
Thuja asks, "What is your interest in Purgatory?"
Tenebrion says, "I have never seen the ability to project your spirit into purgatory before I met an exile."
Tenebrion says, "The subject is one of interest to me."
Tenebrion says, "I understand that the pendant allows travel to purgatory without the experience of death."
Tyking II says, "They fear that you will invade Purgatory."
Tenebrion says, "I would like to see the place to continue my research."
Elenis Reyav asks, "Then why do you need more than the one you already possess?"
J'nder asks, "research into?"
Thuja says, "I believe the first one broke, Elenis."
Elenis Reyav says, "Ah..."
Tenebrion says, "The pieces of the one I have to not appear to reassemble correctly."
(Elenis Reyav nods slowly.)
Tenebrion says, "The pieces of the one I have do not appear to reassemble correctly."
J'nder asks, "how did it break? may i ask?"
Tenebrion says, "I was attempting to find the means with which it works."
Tenebrion says, "Please. I will listen the the three only."
J'nder asks, "would you share any knowledge gained with us?"
Tenebrion says, "That is a difficult question."
Tenebrion says, "I am inclined to say yes."
J'nder says, "a yes or no will suffice"
Tenebrion says, "But how can I offer you my word on that before I know what would be discovered."
J'nder says, "because we ask it =)"
J'nder says, "trust must flow in both directions"
Tenebrion says, "It would not be proper to give my word without knowing what I was promising."
J'nder says, "you merely promise the results of your reserch"
Tyking II says, "That I am, Terenas, that I am"
(Terenas smiles)
Tenebrion says, "Knowledge can be a dangerous thing."
J'nder says, "aye"
J'nder says, "and you are asking for ours"
(Tenebrion nods)
Terenas says, "Thank you Aurian"
Tenebrion says, "I understand your dilemma."
(Aurian recharges.)
J'nder says, "you must understand"
Tenebrion asks, "How may we build a better trust between us?"
J'nder says, "that many exiles, myself included"
J'nder says, "are scared to give away this knowledge"
J'nder says, "as this is what keeps us free from the DArshak and the like"
Thuja asks, "Would you explain to us what your research is about?"
Tenebrion says, "My research of the pendant is to find a means that I might visit purgatory and
see it for myself."
Elenis Reyav asks, "What is your intention beyond that?"
Tenebrion says, "Passage would be good."
Elenis Reyav says, "There must be some reason you wish to see such a place..."
Tenebrion says, "Beyond that can only be determined once I have visited it."
J'nder asks, "so if we could arrange such passage?"
Tenebrion says, "I would be grateful for that passage."
J'nder asks, "and how would you demonstrate that gratitude?"
Tenebrion says, "I am willing to offer a sword for each pendant brought to me in trade."
J'nder says, "I meant for passage"
Tenebrion says, "I would offer a sword for the person who could arrange passage as well."
Elenis Reyav says, "Tenebrion - I feel most exiles wouldn't feel that a fair exchange..."
J'nder says, "sword is of little use to a healer mi'lord"
J'nder says, "something that would benefit our community as a whole would be more of interest"
Elenis Reyav says, "And we would not do anything unless we know what exactly such did."
Elenis Reyav says, "For one thing..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Tyking's possession of such a sword..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Has made him *completely* devout to you."
Tenebrion says, "I felt he had those feelings well before he received a sword."
Elenis Reyav says, "Most exiles would see that a bit... ludicrious to trade something as powerful
as a pendant for."
J'nder ponders, "Tyking has a soul?"
Elenis Reyav asks, "Then what exactly is the nature of these weapons?"
Tenebrion asks, "You doubt the power of a Sword of Souls?"
Elenis Reyav says, "I do not doubt it's power, but I doubt it's nature."
J'nder says, "the nature of the sword is not an issue"
Tenebrion says, "You know as much of them as I do about the pendants."
J'nder says, "swords benefit the individual"
J'nder says, "we seek something to benefit us all"
Tenebrion says, "I am unclear how to offer something to your community when your community
has such a difficult time acting as one."
J'nder says, "nay"
J'nder says, "for example"
Tenebrion says, "I will willingly listen to a suggestion of what I may do for your community."
J'nder says, "a shop open to all, would benefit all"
J'nder says, "whatever their views"
Tenebrion asks, "A shop?"
J'nder says, "as an example"
Tenebrion asks, "You wish me to become a merchant?"
J'nder says, "it was merely an example"
Thuja says, "Many seem to be interested in buying weapons from your blacksmith."
J'nder says, "a service, some knowledge"
J'nder says, "that all exiles would have access to"
Tenebrion asks, "So if I intstruct DanDura'a to start selling his wares to you, what am I offered in return?"
Elenis Reyav says, "You are offered our trust as well and likely the sale of purgatory pendants."
Tenebrion says, "I confess to a reluctance to better arm the people who invade my home so freely."
J'nder says, "pendants i suppose, if the majority of exiles agree"
Elenis Reyav says, "We feel the same Tenebrion..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Pendants can be very dangerous to exiles in the hands of an enemy."
Tenebrion asks, "How many pendants?"
(Elenis Reyav turns to Thuja and J'nder for thoughts on pendants.)
Elenis Reyav says, "This is your field friends..."
J'nder says, "hmmmm"
Tenebrion says, "If no single exile would invade my home for a period of time I would take that as an act of
good faith that I could trust you..."
Tenebrion says, "...I could trust you to be better armed."
Elenis Reyav says, "Tenebrion..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Much like some of your troops can act against general wishes..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Exiles can do the same..."
(Lilit discreetly shakes her head to J'nder.)
Tenebrion says, "The J'nder Dilemma."
Elenis Reyav says, "There are extremist factions among us as well..."
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
(J'nder nods)
Tenebrion asks, "Would time to discuss this fully with the rest of your town help?"
Elenis Reyav says, "Doubtful."
J'nder says, "hinder morelike"
(J'nder smiles.)
Tenebrion says, "Then I am back to having to trade with individuals."
(Lilit stares at Tenebrion intently.)
Elenis Reyav says, "Not individuals..."
Elenis Reyav says, "With the bulk of the town... save a few individuals."
J'nder says, "community would be the favoured option"
Elenis Reyav asks, "J'nder, Thuja... do the three of us agree that trying to discus unification among exiles doesn't do much?"
Tenebrion asks, "Elenis, Thuja, J'nder. Would this meeting advance better were the observers to leave?"
Thuja says, "I think so, yes."
Tenebrion says, "The decision is for the three."
Tenebrion says, "Demonstrate to me if you can act as a community."
Elenis Reyav says, "I believe that for if people are willing to listen and not be silent they may stay."
Tenebrion says, "To resume then."
Elenis Reyav says, "If you are willing to stay, be silent, otherwise please leave."
J'nder says, "hear hear"
Tenebrion says, "My problem is I feel uncomfortable arming my enemies."
J'nder says, "as do we"
(Elenis Reyav nods in agreement with J'nder)
Tenebrion says, "Yet it is my home which is invaded."
J'nder says, "with all due respect"
J'nder says, "your security is your affair"
J'nder says, "even the simplest of exiles can breach your defenses"
Tenebrion asks, "So we are to be friends with high fences? Is that it?"
J'nder asks, "why not?"
J'nder says, "at least until trust has developed"
Elenis Reyav says, "Aye, in time such fences would come down."
(J'nder nods)
Tenebrion asks, "And I am to forgive excursions on my property?"
Elenis Reyav says, "I don't think so."
J'nder says, "if you improve your defenses,"
Tenebrion asks, "If I send you a list of those who invade, you will take care of them?"
J'nder says, "and we let it be know, that tresspassers will be left to fend for themselves"
Elenis Reyav says, "We would be unable to promise that..."
Elenis Reyav says, "Sadly our judicial system is far from decent."
J'nder says, "we just say they are "fair game""
Elenis Reyav says, "Aye - If an exile invades you in hostility..."
J'nder asks, "for say 3 zodiacs?"
Elenis Reyav says, "The bulk of exiles don't support his/her actions."
Tenebrion says, "Yet there have been repeated rescue attempts to save intruders."
Elenis Reyav says, "That has been in the past because exiles have been ignorant."
J'nder says, "and"
Elenis Reyav says, "If they knew that we were on good terms and saw your smith opened to us, I doubt they would continue."
J'nder says, "it is a healers duty to help fallens"
Tenebrion says, "Elenis, I am afraid I have made all the good will gestures I have in my store."
Tenebrion says, "I will need to see better faith on the part of your people before I offer more."
J'nder asks, "what do you suggest?"
Tenebrion says, "Until then I will trade with individuals only."
Tenebrion says, "I will improve my defenses."
Tenebrion says, "You spread the word that people who enter here are not to be helped."
(Thuja nods)
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
Tenebrion says, "If the rate of invasions decreases i will think more favorably of expanding some negotiation."
Tenebrion asks, "Does this seem fair?"
(Tenebrion waits for an answer.)
J'nder says, "hmmmm"
Elenis Reyav says, "We shall spread such a word... but as always... J'nder dillema."
J'nder says, "it would seem to be a step forward"
Elenis Reyav asks, "Tyking - Did you not swear before your lord to be silent?"
Tenebrion says, "We both agree to that problem Elenis."
(Lilit's eyes burn into Tenebrion.)
Tenebrion says, "I can at least hold my guards to my own property."
Tenebrion says, "If you draft a treaty to this effect I will sign it."
(Elenis Reyav looks to Thuja and J'nder for agreement.)
Thuja says, "Very well."
(J'nder nods)
(Elenis Reyav nods.)
Tenebrion asks, "Is there anything else?"
Elenis Reyav says, "Hmm..."
J'nder asks, "withdraw your guards whilst we raise our fallen?"
Tenebrion asks, "You have fallen today?"
(J'nder nods)
Tenebrion asks, "Where are they?"
J'nder says, "many were attacked on the way in"
Elenis Reyav says, "While coming here... the zealousness of your guards kept me from arriving."
Tenebrion says, "I will leave to attempt to clear the tower of my people. Go no further and stay no
longer than to collect your fallen."
Tenebrion says, "Good day."

-----Tenebrion leaves------

Elenis Reyav asks, "Could you open the gates to speed our departure then?"
(Soulmaster frowns)
(Elenis Reyav chuckles.)
Yojimbo says, "figured he'd beat a quick exit"
Saturnus says, "Hello, Terenas."
Mervine says, "Hmm"
Leogic says, "..."
Revlis ponders, "Hrm.."
Fyn d'Evon Rhay thinks, "Moof Power!"
K'Pyn says, "There is no one in the tower, unless some have fallen since I've been there."
Mervine says, "Lets torch the place"
Shadrock says, "im gunna go kill all he fuards"
Saturnus says, "Hail, Elenis Reyav."
Shadrock says, "im gunna go kill all he guards"
Revlis says, "Hail, all."
Elenis Reyav says, "Greetings Saturnus"
The partial name '|' is not unique.
Yojimbo says, "he wants to control Purg."
(Saturnus smiles.)
Yojimbo says, "too bad"
Terenas ponders, "sigh"
Mervine says, "cool."
K'Pyn says, "of that we're not sure Yoji"
Revlis says, "Lord Terenas."
Malkor is now Clanning.
Leogic says, "I must say"
Yojimbo says, "he wants Purg pendants"
(K'Pyn nods.)
Terenas asks, "Elenis will the exiles act as one?"
K'Pyn says, "that he does"
Yojimbo asks, "to do what, visit friends?"
Leogic says, "That you wherent negotating very forcefuly"
Elenis Reyav says, "Doubtful Terenas."
Aurian says, "ok, im outta here."
(Aurian): Aurian waves
(Terenas nods)
Yojimbo asks, "Hallwoeen gifts?"
Aurian says, "bye"
(Leogic shrugs)
Terenas says, "The question is though"
K'Pyn says, "perhaps there is more to Purgatory than we know"
Sa'Wrap ponders, "Zzzz"
Terenas asks, "Do they want to?"
Yojimbo asks, "perhaps happy meal toys?"
J'nder says, "there is"
Elenis Reyav says, "Hard to be forceful when we can't even present ourselves as united."
Maxmillian is sharing experiences with you.
Yojimbo says, "perhaps"
Terenas says, "Tyking doesn't help"
