Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed Apr 25 21:47:59 2007 [17:34:01] * Now talking in #Sharn [17:28:51] [The group of former detainees remains seated at the tavern, discussing the nature of their mysterious benefactor... and voyueristic avians.] [17:28:56] [Session Start] [17:30:33] * Phanos (~rustangel@ip-116-200.atvci.net) has joined #sharn [17:30:48] * Sev mumbles to himself, rubbing the back of his head. [17:33:44] How're you feeling? [17:34:19] * Marianysa eyes Sev. "You sure that drink didn't do something to your brain?" [17:36:13] I'm sure! [17:36:25] Leave it alone.. [17:37:37] "De dreenk, eet always affecks you brain, caus you brain tell you to swaller." [17:37:40] So what about you guys? Any major organizations you work with? [17:37:46] "Dat be a lie on too levels mon." [17:38:00] "I work for de raven. E' stan wif me." [17:38:42] Raven? [17:38:56] I don't work with anyone. I do favors for Faela but that's about it. [17:39:31] * Aun shakes her head. "I work for the Sharn Inquisitive, and I write for the Menthis Messenger sometimes, but I really wouldn't say I work *with* them." [17:39:44] [17:40:42] Huh? No. [17:40:56] "De raven. He standin' right der." he points to a windowsill, empty a bird. [17:41:46] I don't see any raven. [17:41:51] "E follers me. E help wif me juju, say I de standah of de threshold. You all de corn. I ave a sickle, I ave seeds." [17:42:08] "Dats cuz you don't believe." [17:42:17] "E's der mon." [17:42:39] ..Well that's what I was saying! [17:44:38] "Or e de vulcha. It depen." [17:44:43] * Sev grumps. [17:45:01] So the only one who believes me is the nonsense dead-raiser. [17:45:08] "E de vulcah, I still ave de sickle, de seeds." [17:45:22] Uhuh. [17:45:38] "I tase jus fine mon. I tase pinap joos earliah." [17:46:25] "I ear too mon. An see." [17:46:30] "Bettah den you." [17:46:37] "So how you say I got no sense?" [17:48:46] * Sev spits. [17:48:52] Maybe cause you don't? Ever think of that? [17:49:56] "Mebbe I do." [17:50:06] "How you know weddah or not?" [17:51:53] * Marianysa holds her head. [17:54:16] [As the group bickers amonst itself, business continues in the Tavern, with a roudy crowd coming and going.] [17:54:53] "so who is we to meet?" [17:55:17] "Who is we dat got me outter de jail." [17:56:29] No idea. [17:56:31] Well, we've basically got no leads there. I think we need to wait until they make the next move. [17:57:19] Anything we can do in the meantime? Aside from hunting down whoever made that club and dealing with the Ravers. Also, maybe having a chat with the inquisitives to see where they're standing [17:57:26] "Why sey put me in lock fo murdah when I ain't even kilt nobody?" [17:58:16] I think all we have right now for clues is the weapon, but that's not something that having all of us would help with. And the ravers, well, until we can find the source, it's like fighting the ocean. [17:59:20] How specific are you thinking for "Source"? [18:03:17] Well, the ravers started showing up maybe a weel after the tower fell, so I think their existance is more of a sociological condition. [18:04:38] Still, they're getting more common. At least, going by rumors. [18:04:43] * Aurora blinks, then tilts her head, then thinks for a bit. [18:05:10] I wish we had a body we could examine... or a live one. [18:05:40] * Sev rouses, getting to his feet. [18:05:57] You want a raver? A single one? Impossible. They're packrats. [18:06:05] We'd have to break up a group if we wanna haul one away and study it. [18:06:30] Yeah. And capturing one alive is too hard. [18:07:17] And besides, I don't think they're physically different, so much as insane. Examining a body would be likely fruitless. [18:08:15] Yeah... [18:08:39] What i"m worried about is that one guy commanding them and apparently boosting their population [18:09:55] They hit hard, but they can't take much damage. So basically, we need a way to hit a large number of them at the same time [18:10:04] * Aun hits her forehead with the heel of her palm. "Shit, hold on, they regenerate. You humans don't do that." [18:10:09] Know any alchemists? I hear they're good at setting things on fire. [18:10:40] I hardly noticed, since Sev was doing so well at cutting them down. [18:11:05] * Sev chuckles. [18:11:09] ... they regenerate? Huh. That makes things harder. [18:11:11] What about getting them all in the same spot and locking them down? [18:11:13] So it must be that they're manufactured somehow. [18:11:17] If they can't get out their healing doesn't do anything. [18:11:43] Hm. But what can sustain being hit by them? [18:11:44] Just being crazy doesn't make them harder to kill, after all. [18:12:08] There has to be some kind of connection between the tower fall and the ravers. [18:12:40] (Spot checks, -5 for not actively looking) [18:12:51] Someone engineered it? Someone took advantage of it? Hum. [18:15:30] ... hm. [18:16:37] * Aurora speaks softly. "Okay, I'm starting to think Sev might be onto something. There's a cat staring at us right now. One animal's nothing, but two starts to get a bit weird, doesn't it?" [18:18:04] * Sev suddenly gets up, slamming his fist into the table. [18:18:05] [The cat closes its eyes and purrs as it's pet.] [18:18:05] What the HELL?! [18:18:14] * Marianysa looks around blinking, trying to catch sight of the phantom animals. [18:18:20] * Sev advances on the tavern patron seated with the cat. [18:18:41] [The rest of the tavern turns to look at Sev oddly. The man watches him approach.] [18:18:49] "Uhh.. what?" [18:18:57] I didn't see anything. But with two people, I'm more wiling to believe- Aura, it's a guy with a cat. How are cats suspicious? [18:19:50] Normally, it wouldn't, but tha tmakes two animals that've been staring at us now. [18:20:49] [The cat calmly sumbers on the patron's lap, swishing it's tail. It seems entirely unconcerned with Sev's advance.] [18:23:56] [18:24:11] It's...it's a cat, Aura. Animals look at people. [18:24:13] * Sev slams his palms into the table, pointing a stern finger at the cat's owner. [18:24:24] What's the big deal, huh? [18:24:39] "Hey buddy, why don't you point that thing somewhere else. What the hell's your problem anyway?" [18:24:57] What's this cat's name/ [18:24:58] ?* [18:25:33] Hey, all I said was "starting to think". Didn't mean anything conclusive by it. [18:26:12] [The bar patron's face screws up at the question.] "How the fuck should I know?" [18:26:41] [The cat bolts off his lap and out the door.] [18:26:49] * Marianysa laughs nervously. [18:27:11] Oh geez. [18:27:13] Sev, calm down [18:27:19] "Look what you did, you scared it off." [18:27:20] * Sev leans in, grinning oddly. [18:27:28] Funny how you're in here all cozy with a cat that ain't even yours, ain't it.. [18:27:43] At least we have something useful to do now. [18:27:49] "I'll take whatever drinking company comes my way. Except yours. Beat it, asshole." [18:28:47] Sev, calm down... [18:28:53] * Marianysa (~dlarmour@wnpgmb01dc2-24-134.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [18:28:57] * Sev grits his teeth, turning and heading back to his seat, sitting down. [18:29:01] Something fucked up is going on here. [18:29:47] Yeah, but we pretty clearly don't have anything to go off of, yet. Except that this started after we found out about the benefactor, so it's likely linked. Still, not much [18:30:35] * Marianysa (dlarmour@wnpgmb01dc2-24-134.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #sharn [18:30:44] * Aurora walks up to the guy. "Uh, sorry about the behavior of our friend over there. He had a drink of that Dr-... drell or draw or something stuff. [18:31:26] [He arcs his eyebrow at Aurora's attempt at an appology.] [18:32:25] * Marianysa whispers "Can we get out of here? I don't know if anything's really goig on, but it's starting to weird me out." [18:33:37] I'm getting out of here whether you guys want to or not. I've got a problem with Lei I gotta fix. [18:34:25] * Aun nods. "We'll see you, Sev. I think I've got a lot of research to do." [18:34:38] "Indeed, I must tend to my store if I want to make rent this month." [18:34:53] [Says Aurelis] [18:35:28] Alright. Phanos, what about you? [18:35:50] Where are we gonna meet back up? [18:36:34] How about tomorrow? I'll find you earlier if I find anything out. [18:36:40] And hold on. [18:38:22] * Aun gets up and walks over to the man. "Sir, our associate's drunk and beligerant, but I hope that someone as worldly as you understands the need for a bravo in this part of Sharn, and that you don't mind his antics overly much." [18:42:18] Psssshhh.. [18:42:20] [He shrugs.] "Don't worry, I wasn't gonna track you down where you live or nothin." [18:42:25] * Sev gets to his feet, heading to the door. [18:43:06] * Aun smiles. "Good to know that, sir." [18:43:32] "Wat bout me, mon?" [18:44:12] What're you doing after this? [18:44:31] "gonna go to de shop, run me bisness." [18:46:05] * Aurora nods. [18:46:11] Where should we meet tomorrow? [18:46:25] "Wherevah you won, gerl." [18:46:48] "Cept yo mama, she say I cain't bring no zombos in yah house, so not dere." [18:47:02] I guess Aun's place again? [18:47:06] "too dirty feets, she feels, tho I keeps em clean ya." [18:47:40] * Aurora nods [18:48:58] I guess we can meet at my apartment, though with any luck, it won't be mine soon enough. [18:49:07] Alright. [18:50:01] I don't suppose noone else has anything better to do than going to the Morgrave library and the city registry for a day, then? [18:50:09] Yeah, I could do that [18:50:22] I was halfway considering trying to chase that kitty, but that's just dumb. [18:51:09] [The group parts ways and heads back to their respective abodes. Unnervingly, they start to notice just how many animals live in Sharn. After Sev planted the seed of doubt in everyone's mind, every bird, rat, and stray dog seems to stare at them as they walk through the towers to their homes.] [18:51:46] * Phanos isn't very paranoid about it. Animals usually look at him strangely, what with the usual zombie cohort. [18:54:48] * Sev probably throws something at a dog here or there. [18:55:43] [The next morning, the group begins to file into Aun's apartment. Aurelis seems to be a no-show.] [19:05:43] Well, I found who made the weapons. She's from the elf ghetto up in Upper Northedge. She's not that old by their standards, but she's been here for about a century and a half, so there's a good chance she knows at least *SOMETHING* about the Crystal Tower, too. [19:06:00] Oh, nice. [19:06:03] Progress! [19:06:25] * Aun (CharlesHBo@c-75-69-187-78.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ) [19:08:41] "Well les go den." [19:09:33] * Charles (~CharlesHB@c-75-69-187-78.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) has joined #Sharn [19:09:36] * Charles is now known as Aun [19:11:03] * Aun nods, and heads out, leading the way to the shop. [19:11:24] Any ide awhere Aurelis is? [19:11:36] "Don't no. Thought it quiet, ya." [19:12:50] * Aun frowns. "I hope he's not in trouble. He was getting involved in some pretty stupid stuff. We ought to check his store." [19:14:08] Yeah... [19:14:25] If you want. I guess I'm getting used to him talking about himself. [19:14:41] * Marianysa shrugs. "He's probably just busy indulging himself." She doesn't sound entirely convinced. [19:15:11] [When they show up at Aurelis's shop later, they see a "For Sale" sign in the window.] [19:15:40] ... uh. [19:16:09] Whoa, no way. [19:17:56] ...Aurelis has better not be selling his shop to pay for drugs. [19:18:26] Huh. Shows where his loyalties are, eh? [19:18:43] * Aurora frowns, and tries the door [19:19:11] "A-ah, Miss Leyonard?" [19:19:14] This can't be right, he was just talking about tending to it yesterday. [19:19:33] [Lanni leans out of the door to Mari's shop.] [19:20:21] Lanni? What's up> [19:20:40] "It's about your weird friend. He left a letter for you." [19:21:51] [Lanni holds up a wax-sealed envelope, with Aurelis's personal arcane mark on the seal.] [19:22:04] * Marianysa winces. "Thanks." She takes the letter and opens it. [19:24:32] What's it say? [19:24:49] [The letter reads. "Dear Mari, I am sorry I could not say goodbye in person, but my lightning rail tickets were for an overnight departure. I decided to leave town, and did so in a hurry so I left as little trail as possible. Things are getting entirely too dangerous, and all we've managed to do is piss Daask off even more. Someone will link the Truestrike agency snooping around the Arena to the docks, and then to us." it continues.] [19:26:13] "Please consider doing the same. It is for your own good. In the meantime I've instructed the realtor to give you the profits for the sale of my shop. You can pay me back if you wish should we ever meat again. Farewell, and safe travels. -Aurelis."] [19:27:16] "Dat aint no good. Gon' be quiet-like now a buncha." [19:27:25] He's...skipped town. [19:28:05] I see... [19:29:07] * Aun shakes her head. "That's a damn shame, though I'm not sure I blame him. From the sound of things, it seemed like he had more people trying to kill him than the rest of us do." [19:29:11] Yeah... [19:29:22] I just hope he's okay wherever he went [19:30:21] * Sev grunts. [19:30:31] Well it's not my problem now. Hope he does better whereever. [19:30:39] Yeah. [19:30:55] So what'll you do with a second store's worth of profits? [19:32:07] * Marianysa shrugs. "I could use it to keep the rent paid, but I'm not sure I want to be in debt to that guy." [19:33:10] * Aurora nods [19:33:40] Well, I guess we can go on to deal with that club thing [19:35:04] * Aun nods. [19:35:26] [Lanni nods.] "Alright. Stay safe, Mari." [19:35:54] Of course! [19:37:02] * Aurora waves to Lanni. "Good luck with busniess [19:37:51] [The group continues on to Shae Leias by skycab.] [19:38:03] [The district is filled with beautifully sculpted statues of long-dead elves. Densewood warriors stand guard at the gates of townhouses, while statues of priests and honored elders are spread throughout plazas and open-air orchards. The residents move quietly among these statues of the dead, carrying out their daily activities with silent grace.] [19:38:52] * Phanos examines the statues quietly, feeling in tune with this place. [19:39:04] * Aurora walks along, awed a bit. [19:39:48] This is a nice change. [19:40:24] Yeah... it looks like it was built with some sense of planning. [19:40:35] Yeah, definately. I can't wait until I move near here. [19:42:15] [The serenity of their journey to Solid Oaks, Leilunia's storefront, is marred when an elven youth spits on Phanos.] [19:42:15] [He doesn't do much else, giving Phanos the evil eye as he walks away.] [19:42:25] * Phanos spits back. [19:42:36] "Hello!" [19:43:41] Ah, hello [19:44:19] [He starts screaming back at Phanos in elven, gesticulating wildly.] [19:50:23] Translated as "Who the fuck do you think you are walking in here with your disgusting corpses, get the fuck out of our neighborhood before you fucking regret ever setting foot within 100 feet of an elf." [19:50:24] This is even more confusing, cause Phanos can see elves walking around that appear to be undead, with withered flesh. [19:45:16] * Marianysa stares. "I have no idea what's going on." [19:46:15] "Dey not copses. Dey zombos." [19:47:04] "Jes like dose zombos dere. De same. Black ya, but de same." [19:47:10] [The youth yells back.] [19:50:24] "ZOMBIES ARE DISGUSTING! You dare compare them to the Jhaelian house? You're filth! UTTER FILTH" [19:47:58] Well, the elves tend not to like the undead, Mari. So it's sort of like what happened back at the cathedral. [19:48:53] * Sev looks around, stroking his chin. [19:49:06] "Like youz don' live enough. I remembaz mines. I remembas dey name. I honahs dem wit de lotus. Dey say, dey die to protek me. Dey hold de knives. Dey cut dey own neks. Dey dies at my feet. Deys give demselfs to me. [19:49:08] They prefer Deathless. Which I'm told that are really a good thing and not a bad thing. [19:49:31] "Cleanah den you, dey be, cause dey don't spit. Dey don't talk de bad words. Dey stan vigil." [19:50:02] It's just weird hearing one half of a conversation. [19:50:05] (Aurora, ask what you know before you start talking about that) [19:50:35] "This place is.. boring. Can we do what we came here to do?" [19:50:38] "Iyain't nevah had no zombo go bad on me, and I keeps dem feet clean. I baves dem. I tell you, dey don even got no blood, dey not dirty no." [19:50:47] * Phanos is talking back at the screaming youth in calm common [19:52:58] Come on, Phanos. This isn't going to end well. [19:53:05] [The youth shakes with anger and looks about ready to slug Phanos before an elder elf walks over.] [19:53:20] "Wif you, de right han, de white zombos, dey an de lef hand, dey grip one annudah. Dey get noting done no, cause dey be too busy tryin' to snuff de uddah out ya. Non me. ME right an me lef, much respek fo' bof. You respect dese hans, de white and de black, and you stan at de edge like me mon, bof grant you dey gifts." [19:54:08] [He barks a order at the younger elf, who backs down, but still keeps his fists clenched.] [19:54:29] Elven: "Mealian! Be still!" [19:54:23] * Phanos looks to the elder elf. "I yain't got no quarrels wit dis boy. He jus don't tink I cleans de zombos good enough." [19:55:11] "Don't get no cleanah wif spittle no. I don' see how he tinks he helps dat along." [19:55:40] [The elder elf turns to Phanos.] "You might mean no harm by bringing negatively charged undead here. You don't look like you're around here and might not recognize our ways. We find undeath abhorrent, so if you truely wish no ill, please leave now." [19:56:21] "You want tells me to turn em white den? I do dat, ifn you shows me." [19:57:01] "If by white you mean positive energy, then it is too late. You've already made them into undead. To use your parlance, "white" will destroy them." [19:57:43] "Les try." [19:58:13] [The elf arches an eyebrow.] "If you wish." [19:58:28] * Phanos looks to one of his zombies impassively. His hand glows white, casting cure moderate wounds on it. As the flesh heals, the zombie falls to the ground, lifeless again. [19:58:55] "So now raymon heah, he ded again, ya? I got friends to protek me, dat okay." [19:59:00] [He takes out something from his pack, a bronzewood deathmask, and puts it on. Aurora recognizes it as the holy symbol of the Undying Court.] [19:59:06] * Sev has meanwhile busied himself observing a statue of an elf. [19:59:17] * Aurora blinks. She watches closely. [19:59:37] "I still knows he raymon. He not know, but I nose." [19:59:52] "I see youas. Dey white. Dey know, dey walk, dey talk, dey sing." [20:01:58] "The Translated as "Who the fuck do you think you are walking in here with your disgusting corpses, get the fuck out of our neighborhood before you fucking regret ever setting foot within 100 feet of an elf." [20:01:58] This is even more confusing, cause Phanos can see elves walking around that appear to be undead, with withered flesh. [20:01:58] "ZOMBIES ARE DISGUSTING! You dare compare them to the Jhaelian house? You're filth! UTTER FILTH" [20:02:02] (whoops!) [20:03:18] "Those?" The priest of the Undying Court indicates the mere hand-full of withered elves walking about. "Those are of House Jhaelian. They are not Undying, but merely alter their appearance to show veneration to their ancestors." [20:03:34] * Phanos 's hand turns black as he looks to his wounded zombie, touching its wounds, the disentegrated flesh rehealing. [20:04:17] "So, dey look like zombos, but you no like mines." [20:04:56] * Marianysa tries not to stare. [20:05:39] * Phanos turns to his zombies. "Shebuti! Youz not welcome heah! Go along home ya! Dese people, dey tink yous too dirty to step round!" [20:05:46] [The priest's expression is unreadable behind the mask.] "This is not the place for a theological discussion. Your undead are causing unrest and I'll be forced to alert the Watch to your disturbance of the peace if you do not leave soon." [20:05:54] They turn and shamble off. [20:06:17] [The priest bows when Phanos orders them off.] "Thank you." [20:06:51] "Dey gone. I sen dem away. I don't mean no boddah. You mind we stay, or at leas not me but dem? Me friens, some o dem no like my zombos eidah." [20:07:08] "If you wish to learn the difference between your undead and the Undying, please come to the embassy, but leave them at home." [20:07:39] "I does, I learns, ya, so dat I shows you no disrespec." [20:07:43] "No, sending them away is a road to peace. Thank you for your cooperation." [20:08:37] "No problem mon. You not de only one dat disagrees wif me. I ain't found no home in de Vol or de burny snake. Maybe dis somewheah I can." [20:09:08] "Leas a little." [20:09:28] * Phanos looks to his companions. "I come wit him, you go do whatchu gotta." [20:09:48] I might drop by there later myself... I'm kinda curious. [20:10:29] * Aun nods. "I may, too. But first, let's find out what we came here to find out." [20:10:54] Right [20:10:57] * Aurora checks the door [20:11:15] (Door?) [20:11:25] ( The shop has a door, right? ) [20:11:43] [The group continues on, Phanos parting ways to head for the Aerenal Embassy in Central Plateau.] [20:12:02] ( Oh, we aren't there yet. :downs: ) [20:12:30] [They eventually find Solid Oaks, and it appears to be open for business.] [20:12:53] * Aun heads inside, looking for the elf who owns it. [20:13:58] [Aun finds a handsome, if effeminate (even for an elf), male heading the counter.] [20:14:18] "Hello! Welcome, welcome. What can I do for you?" [20:14:31] ( Does he have a golden metallic eye and purple hair? :V ) [20:14:40] (What?) [20:15:02] ( Maximillion Pegasus ) [20:15:10] (Heh) [20:15:22] Morning, sir! We're looking for the owner, if they happen to be in. [20:16:31] "My mother is in back. Can I ask what this is about?" [20:19:22] Well, we're wondering about two things. A weapon made by her made its way into the hands of a bravo who tried to kill us, and we were wondering if anything was known about the sales history, and we were also curious wether she knows anything about the fall of the crystal tower. Any assistance on either would be appreciated. [20:19:31] [The store is furnished with several racks of bows, of different types. Three of them, closest to the back of the store, are more than six feet in length.] [20:20:50] * Aurora looks over the bows while Aun talks business [20:20:53] [There is a smaller section of other wooden weapons. Clubs, greatclubs, and even swords and daggers made from exotic lumber.] [20:21:21] "Oh, absolutely. She'd be glad to help. Tsk, just one problem though..." [20:22:02] "She's currently crafting an item on comission. She should be done within an hour." [20:23:07] * Aun nods. "Do you mind if we wait in the store, or should we find a plaza to spend the time?" [20:24:11] "The more the merrier I say!" [20:24:27] "So... who's your friend?" [20:24:32] [He glances at Sev.] [20:26:32] Oh, that's Sev. Though I'm sure he could introduce himself better than I could. [20:26:58] * Marianysa seems to have lost herself in looking at the weapons. [20:27:31] * Aurora glancse back. "I'm Aurora Lumines. Priestess." [20:27:50] * ChanServ changes topic to 'Init: Alexander, Sigma, Mari, Phanos, Aun, Sev, Aurora, Ban, Aurelis, Gnolls' [20:27:50] * ChanServ sets mode: +ntr [20:28:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [20:28:38] * Sev glances at the elf, leaning against a wall. [20:28:39] Yeah, Sev. [20:30:49] "So.. how did you get so strong, Sev?" [20:30:53] [An hour passes.] [20:31:36] [The group is allowed into the backroom after the shop owner's son calls out to her.] [20:33:41] * Sev movse into the back room, mumbling. [20:33:50] Something seemed goofy with that guy. Why did he wanna know how often I work out? ~_~ [20:33:52] * Aurora steps in. [20:33:55] [There are unfinished bows and weapons, a worktable with a 2x4 of bronzewood slowly being sanded down into a rapier. Several other devices for crafting bows and wooden armor are set about.] [20:33:58] Dunno. Maybe he admires you [20:34:26] * Marianysa snickers. [20:34:33] Yeah, that's definately it. [20:35:22] [An elderly elven woman sits at a counter, she's turned around and leaning against it. Her skin seems to glow, but sheds no visible light, as if her body was less connected to the physical plane.] [20:35:33] (This is normal for elven aging) [20:35:58] Ah, hello... [20:36:01] "Hello there, young ones. What can I do for you?" [20:36:35] Good afternoon, Madam. If you don't mind, we have some questions for you. [20:37:08] "Take your time." [She nods, slowly.] [20:41:05] Well, first things first, we were wondering if you kept records of sales. Earlier this week, we were attacked by an assassin weilding a weapon, excellently crafted, by the way, made by you. We were wondering if you could say who it was sold to, in case it was supplied to him by a third party. [20:41:31] * Sev nods. [20:42:08] We were also wondering if you could tell us anything about the fall of the Crystal Tower [20:42:24] One thing at a time, Aura. There's no rush. [20:42:31] Alright [20:43:41] "I am truly appalled by such reckless use of my creations. The assassin must have pilfered his treasure from the corpse of a person more deserving... In any case, I'm afraid the only records of specific weapons sold are in my head. What did he wield against you?" [20:46:08] He had a club... and a sword, I think. But that other weapon was House Cannith make. I thought it was weird that he had weapons from different manufacturers. [20:46:36] * Sev shrugs. [20:46:46] A weapon's a weapon. There's good and bad ones. [20:48:17] "Pfft. Cannith. So eager to hoarde the treasuries of nations, they are. They sell to both sides of a conflict without any regard of either side's cause. And they play Sovereign, creating life in the form of weapons." [20:48:39] [She shakes her head slowly, sadly.] [20:48:54] "The club was mine, I take it? Can you describe it to me?" [20:50:43] It had silver bands with some kind of symbols engraved... [20:53:04] [The takes per him, pondering. She just starts to stretch your patience, when she speaks.] "Yes, I sold that club a year ago, to a human male. He had short, dark hair." [20:53:11] time* [20:58:28] Did you get a name? [21:00:13] [She purses her lips and taps her chin... for over five minutes.] [21:00:17] * Sev twitches at the three minute mark, grinding his teeth by the fifth. [21:00:17] "Daniel Sune." [21:00:25] Someone write that down! [21:00:30] Wow. You've got quite a memory [21:00:44] "It's all in there somewhere." [21:01:38] Do you remember where he lived or anything like that? [21:01:53] * Kesuke (crazysapia@ip24-252-34-39.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Sharn [21:01:57] * Kesuke is now known as Sev` [21:02:06] Daniel Sune you said? Alright, good. [21:02:11] "Well I don't deliver my creations, so I can't imagine he told me where he lived." [21:02:23] "But I can try and recall if he did, if you like." [21:02:47] That would be wonderful, madam. [21:03:00] "Well, alright." [21:03:15] Thanks [21:03:27] * Sev (~crazysapi@ip24-252-34-39.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:03:50] [She holds her chin in her hand and furrows her brow. Five minutes come and go, and she still concentrates.] [21:08:32] * Aurora turns to the others. "Okay, so we've got someone to look for. How do you wanna do this? Just knock on the door and then... ?" [21:08:40] [At ten minutes, she shifts her position and "hmmms", but keeps thinking.] [21:09:20] [Another ten minutes pass without a sound from her.] [21:10:50] Um... [21:11:38] [Finally she draws in a breath to speak... and then exhales, going back to thinking.] [21:11:52] * Aurora frowns [21:12:31] [When more than half an hour passes since they asked her the question, she shrugs slowly.] "Nope, he never said where he lived." [21:13:19] Hm. [21:13:19] * Sev` is leaning against the wall, snoring. [21:13:32] * Marianysa 's face falls. [21:16:38] "You wanted to know about the Crystal Fall?" [21:17:55] NO! [21:18:02] I've heard enough! I know! [21:18:10] * Sev` leans up from the wall, waving his hand. [21:18:14] We've bothered you plenty! [21:18:31] I do, but... how hard would it be for you to remember details? [21:18:46] I'd imagine it'd stick out in your memory more than a single random guy you only saw one time a year ago [21:18:57] "Well, I sell my creations every day. The Crystal Tower only fell once." [21:21:31] "I remember the Crystal Tower used to be the jewel of the city. World-class entertainment and food, wealthy residential areas, balls and galas. It was like a combination of Upper Menthis, Upper Northedge, and Skyway. Beautiful too." [21:21:55] Yeah, and then it fell. [21:23:05] "Yes. The chronicles at the time said it was a freak accident involving the abjuration magic protecting the magical device that kept it aloft, anchored to the manifest zone." [21:24:09] "If you want more information, the Korranberg Chroncile had the most detailed report. The Inquisitive wasn't around back then." [21:25:13] I already know all I need to about it. [21:25:51] "Most of us who lived through the Last War think the Crystal Fall was the only time the fight was brought to Sharn. Thrane was our 'enemy of the decade' back then, and many patriots felt it was thranish terrorism that brought the tower down." [21:29:02] "The King's Citadel also pledge to launch a full-scale investigation, but I don't recall off-hand how that turned out." [21:29:03] Maybe it didn't turn out at all.\ [21:29:03] Like you said, it only fell once. I think you'd remember. [21:28:31] "Well with the War, we were easily distracted by new dillemmas. They weren't as close to home, but loosing West Breland to ogre hordes was pretty worrisome even for an immigrant such as me." [21:30:42] * Demota is now known as Aurora [21:31:29] Uh huh.. [21:32:02] We're concerned about the fall because we've been having some problems with ... well, beings coming from that area. That are rising in number. And started appearing not long after it fell. And their population's jumping. [21:32:29] * Marianysa scratches her head. [21:32:41] "Out of Godsgate?" [21:34:59] Um... I'm not familiar with the term Godsgate... [21:35:32] "Oh yes, of course. Everyone calls it 'Fallen' now, when they even bother to speak of it." [21:35:47] Ah. Yeah, out of there... [21:35:55] "Used to be Sharn's first temple district." [21:37:01] "Well I wouldn't know anything about creatures in Fallen. I don't venture forth from Shae Leias much these days." [21:40:09] Aun, is the Korranberg Chronicle still around? [21:40:18] (YES) [21:40:22] ( Is it? ) [21:40:25] (That's common knowledge) [21:40:35] ( Whoops. ) [21:40:38] ( Strike that question ) [21:40:40] (It's the most popular newspaper on the continent) [21:40:53] ( I thought that was the Sharn Inquisitive. I mean, even Wizards of the Coast carries their articles. :V ) [21:41:21] Hah. Godsgate, huh? Sad state it's in now. [21:41:22] Hey, Aun? Think they might still have a copy of that article? [21:47:33] [The conversation continues... next week!] [21:47:37] [Session End.] End of #Sharn buffer Wed Apr 25 21:48:00 2007 Everyone gets 100 xp
