A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.

Creating a myriad of colorful whorls in the air, a flock of small rainbow-winged lizards swirls into
the room. Diving and darting, they cavort above the corpse of Zentalin in an intricate dance that is
breathtaking to behold. As they dance, their wings shimmer and shed multi-colored sparks all along
Zentalin's body. The aerial display ends in one final loop and the rainbow-winged lizards dart off into
the distance, only to wink out of sight a moment later.

Dasmik [General]: "Who killed Barnom?"

extending towards Rlen. As the light envelopes Rlen, you see a thick layer of frost covering his body.

The ghostly voice of Rlen says, "I'm working on it."
You softly say, "That will cost you barnom."

You see a wave of energy emanate from Skydream toward you. It coalesces around your body and then
seeps in, leaving a glow around your body.
(You sense that your soul has been bound to your body for 13 minutes longer.)

You softly say, "And you will be brought to justice."
Vikira begins to twitch.
Vikira says, "The bodies do pile up around you."
The ghostly voice of Rlen says, "Eventually, poking your eye will be permanent, Slime."
Vikira gazes in amazement at Barnom.
Cruxophim bitterly says, "The Arkati seldom intervene on mortal's behalves, unless it suits their whims."
Barnom asks, "Justice?"
You focus on recalling magical assistance that will be of use when you rise again, and feel the power of
Lorminstra suffusing your spirit.
Barnom says, "Your mayor is a zombie."
You sense deep within your soul, a rage that burns upward and out of your lips in a terrible scream of
rage against the undead!
As the symbol takes shape in your mind, you feel a force project outward, unfocused like a wall in all
directions!
Barnom asks, "What justice would you have him bring?"
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily exclaims, "I transcend death and will again, but this Lich will never
again be alive!"

bears?"
Barnom says, "Let us have a moment of silence please for Zentalin."
Sefina takes a moment to observe Zentalin.
You softly say, "I didnt attack you."
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "Other members of our Order will come to our aid."
A bloated krolvin corpse strides in, his weapon at the ready!
With great effort the spirit of Zentalin gives a keening cry, spectral tears falling to the ground.
Katrynne glances at a bloated krolvin corpse.
Katrynne gags.
Barnom seems to be waiting for something.

Sefina chuckles to herself.
Barnom says, "Apparently."
Zentalin's spirit lets out a hollow moan.
You softly say, "And your a bad person Barnom."
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily exclaims, "Vile Lich!"
Barnom says, "All of those Koar zealots drag in the filth."
Cruxophim presses his fingers to his chain. A brief spasm wracks his shoulders in shivering.
Cruxophim gets an odd look on his face.
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily exclaims, "Uncover me! This is not befitting a Cleric of Koar!"
You softly say, "Thats why Koar will seek redemption."
Barnom says, "Yes, YES it is."
Barnom points at Zentalin.
Barnom kicks some dirt on the corpse of Zentalin.
Curator Raincail just arrived.
Cruxophim takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.
Barnom kicks some dirt on your corpse.
Barnom asks, "Where is your Koar now?"
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "You took my life, yet I did not attack you with magic."
Barnom exclaims, "You see!"
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily exclaims, "By the Great Drake I will use your bones for soup
spoons!"
Speaking to Barnom, Sefina asks, "Aren't you making it filthier by... killing them?"
Sefina scratches her head.
Barnom asks, "He will not protect you against me. What makes you think he'll protect you against the
shadows?"
You softly say, "Koar does appease the meek."
Sefina says, "Bodies are so messy."
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "It seems your protection will just cause me to become a still corpse."
The ghostly laughter of Zentalin echoes through the room, sending a shiver down your spine.
Barnom says, "Blood is a good filth."
Barnom nods at Sefina.
You softly say, "He will show himself on his terms not your."
Vikira says, "Who can tell, in this town."
Vikira gazes in wonder at her surroundings.
Cruxophim tightens his grip on his viridian oak crosier.
Barnom says, "Oh, yes."
Barnom nods to you.
Barnom says, "Excuses."
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily says, "The Great Drake is attuned to both light and dark. He is able to go where shadows alone can conspire."
Barnom says, "From the faithless."
Katrynne rubs her chin thoughtfully.
The ghostly voice of Rlen says, "I'm not looking for the Arkati to protect me against you. I'll fight you
until I am no longer able, Arkati or no."
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "The shadows do not come."
Cruxophim glances at Zentalin.
You concentrate on the Symbol of Need.
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily says, "He will transcend your philosophy.. just wait and see.. time will be on our side!"
The ghostly voice of Rlen says, "You raised hand against the Rest and continue to be an abomination."
Barnom says, "I'm immortal. Time is on my side, trust me."
Cruxophim settles his gaze on Barnom, watching him intently.
Darielyn rubs her chin thoughtfully.
The ghostly voice of Rlen asks, "As immortal as the Lich in the Gratoff Mountains?"
Barnom asks, "Still loyal today?"
You softly say, "You should repent Barnom and return the souls that you took from their graves."
Barnom peers quizzically at Cruxophim.
A crested owl flies in and lands on the floor.
Speaking simply to Barnom, Cruxophim replies, "Aye."
Barnom says, "Even liches must aspire to greatness."
Barnom nods at Rlen.
Katrynne ponders.
Barnom says, "Some, achieve it."
Pale, swirling mist begins to billow out from nothingness before you, and quickly coalesces into a small orb of shifting essence. Suddenly, the orb expands and forms an elliptical portal of swirling blues and blacks, its edges shrouded in dancing blue-white mist.
Qaatil steps out of the shifting portal.
The shifting portal shimmers slightly, the haze within its glowing outline growing opaque as it contracts to a pinpoint of blue-grey mist and vanishes.
Qaatil scowls at Barnom.
Qaatil smiles and then lunges for Barnom! He then quickly recoils from the foul scent of death.
Barnom taps his chest, maggots falling from his tunic.
Cruxophim sighs.
Qaatil says, "Ugh."
Cruxophim hangs his head.
Qaatil cringes.
Barnom begins chuckling at Qaatil!
The ghostly voice of Rlen says, "You will end just as did that lich, if not by my hand, by another."
Raincail's face turns slightly pale.
Speaking to Barnom, Katrynne asks, "Have you met the lich.. Skryn?"
Katrynne rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Barnom says, "Cute."
As the lich points at Qaatil, mystical energy envelops him.
Qaatil looks stunned!
You softly say, "You should be ashamed crux."
Barnom says, "For even considering it."
Barnom nods at Qaatil.
Qaatil tries to pull Barnom towards him.
Speaking indifferently to you, Cruxophim asks, "Why?"
Raincail winces.
Qaatil says, "A Lich.."
Darielyn rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Qaatil says, "Death does not phase me."
Qaatil asks, "What does he want?"
Barnom exclaims, "Sweet bones...these bodies talk more dead than they did alive!"
Qaatil asks, "Why so much controversy?"
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily says, "Quiet, slave."
Vikira begins chuckling at Barnom!
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily says, "Know your place."
Raincail quietly says, "Not likely."
Suddenly, Whorten appears in the room holding onto a ring he has just placed on his finger.
A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Rogane.
A frolicsome forest spirit floats in, following Rogane.
Qaatil says, "You're dead and I'm alive, Master."
Rogane ponders.
You softly say, "You sit and watch while we die."
Barnom detaches his ears from his scalp and puts them inside his tattered cloak.
Rogane removes an elegant fireleaf runestaff from in his suede harness.
Qaatil peers quizzically at Zentalin.
Barnom says, "Ah....there."
Raincail laughs at Barnom!
Rogane waves to Barnom.
Darielyn gawks at Barnom.
Barnom says, "Peace and...well, just quiet."
Rogane deeply says, "Hello fellow mayor."
Katrynne's face turns slightly pale.
Raincail shakes his head.
Barnom stares at Rogane, trying to read his lips.
Barnom exclaims, "I'm sorry, speak up sir!"
The crested owl ruffles his feathers.
Barnom turns, holding his cloak out more.
Barnom says, "Into the cloak son."
Qaatil removes a fine orase runestaff from in his spidersilk cloak.
Barnom applauds.
Speaking loudly to Barnom, Rogane says, "Hello fellow Mayor."
Barnom yells, "HELLO!"
Rogane yells, "Why are we yelling?"
Qaatil shivers.
Barnom yells, "WHAT?"
Sefina says, "He took off his ears."
Vikira gazes in wonder at her surroundings.
Barnom yells, "Speak up son! My ears are in my cloak!"
Barnom cackles!
You send a wave of energy toward Wintersylph. It coalesces for a moment around her body, but then
fades with no effect.
Rogane rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Katrynne looks at Barnom blankly, at a loss to express herself.

Qaatil says, "Barnom, before you spoke about a coming danger."
Qaatil asks, "Can you enlighten me?"
Rogane removes a glass bottle from in his blood red pack.
Qaatil says, "You mentioned the Shadows and Grishom Stone."
Qaatil says, "I wish to warn my people."
The crested owl flaps his wings a few times.
Appearing out of nowhere, a small scroll unfurls in front of Barnom. It begins to disintegrate almost
immediately, however, and has disappeared within seconds.
Cruxophim glances at Qaatil.
Rogane stares at Barnom.
Raincail slides a blackened vultite khopesh set with a bleached white troll skull guard into his swordbelt's elongated mahogany scabbard.
Rogane put a glass bottle in his spidersilk cloak.
Qaatil ponders.
Raincail inclines his ear, but doesn't hear anything unusual.
Whorten blinks.
Barnom reaches into his cloak, pulls out his ears and reattaches them to his head in a grisly fashion.
Barnom says, "Whew. Better."
Raincail glances over at Barnom and winces.
Qaatil says, "Ah."
Barnom asks, "Now, come again?"
Qaatil says, "Barnom.. you spoke of Grishom Stone and shadows.."
Qaatil says, "A coming danger."
Barnom says, "Yes yes."
Barnom nods at Qaatil.
Qaatil says, "I take this seriously, I wish to warn my people, the Tehir."
Barnom exclaims, "Grishom was but a man!"
Barnom says, "Who came to serve the shadows."
Qaatil says, "Would you elaborate and enlighten me? I seek no violence."
Rogane deeply says, "I remember Grishom."
Qaatil says, "I apologize for attacking the day before.."
Barnom says, "He was defeated, the island destroyed."
Rogane rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Barnom exclaims, "But it was only the beginning!"
Qaatil leans on his runestaff.
You softly say, "I didnt seek any either."
The crested owl preens himself quietly.
Katrynne blinks at Barnom.
Speaking to Barnom, Darielyn asks, "How so?"
Cruxophim peers quizzically at Barnom.
Qaatil asks, "Grishom.. was just a drop.. from an ocean of shadows?"
Rogane rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Cruxophim rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Barnom says, "Yes yes, you see."
Sefina ponders.
Barnom says, "The shadows had plans."
Vikira furrows her brow.
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Rogane asks, "So what are your plans?"
Qaatil ponders.
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "The lich taints our forest with pools of murky black liquid."
Barnom exclaims, "Grishom may be gone, the demon island sunk...but the shadows remain!"
Qaatil says, "Let him explain."
Barnom says, "Elithain Cross."
Cruxophim blinks in surprise as though just becoming aware of Skydream's presence.
Speaking to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Rlen says, "I suspect your fate will be no different than the
Grevisth or the lich from Gratoff. You'l be abandoned and will be lucky to find oblivion."
You softly ask, "You speak of the Arcane Eye Barnom?"
Barnom says, "He is your new enemy. and his urnon golem, Madelyne."
Lancecile just arrived.
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Barnom says, "The golem holds the spirit of his daughter, whom he tricked Grishom and all of you to
obtain."
Cruxophim peers quizzically at Barnom.
Raincail quietly says, "Madelyne?"
Barnom nods to you.
Barnom says, "Okay...okay..."
Barnom points at Zentalin.
Barnom points at you!
Qaatil says, "Had Vaalor allied with you, or the nations, how would that have benefited? I was there at
Fearling Pass when you arrived."
The ghostly voice of Zentalin huskily says, "Gah."
Barnom points at Rlen.
You are healed.
Barnom says, "Rise."
Zentalin gazes in awe at Barnom.
Zentalin huskily says, "How.."
You softly ask, "So Elithian is at work here?"
Barnom says, "And know the Lich King has showed you mercy this day."
Zentalin reaches out and touches his Koar symbol.
Rlen squints at Barnom.
Zentalin glances at his Koar symbol.
Rlen shudders.
Rogane deeply says, "I wish we had a reason to war with Vaalor."
Raincail agrees with Rlen.
Zentalin grunts pensively, deep in thought.
Barnom says, "Raise your hand or blade against me against."
Zentalin grunts sadly, a small tear forming in the corner of his eye.
Zentalin put a handaxe in his dark canvas pack.
Zentalin slings a scratched vultite aegis over his shoulder.
Barnom says, "I will see your corpse falls into eternity."
The ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "I still have pieces of him."
Whorten kicks some dirt on the corpse of Skydream.
Barnom asks, "Do you understand?"
Suddenly Barnom looms high above you, striking terror into your very soul!
Katrynne squints.
Zentalin glares.
Raincail coughs.
Rogane stares at Barnom.
Zentalin nods.
Zentalin nods slowly.
Rlen says, "I understand you make the same threat Grevisth did."
Lancecile ponders.
Rogane removes an ebon obsidian egg from in his spidersilk cloak.
Cruxophim nods slowly.
Qaatil shivers.
I fear not death
Qaatil glances at Zentalin.
Rlen says, "I'l give it the same heed."
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Barnom says, "I think I've been understanding."
Barnom says, "You attacked my town."
Barnom says, "Remember."
You softly ask, "Are the summoners involved with elithia?"
Barnom nods to you.
Speaking quietly to Barnom, Cruxophim inquires, "Is there any need for further incursion above the
ground? Or have the retaliations ceased, should they be wise enough to halt aggressions?"
Barnom says, "Yes, Elithain..."
Barnom says, "Others too, I am sure."
You softly say, "Elithian."
Rogane put an ebon obsidian egg in his spidersilk cloak.
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "You were part of an attack on my town long before 'your' town here
was ever attacked."
Barnom says, "The shadows stretch far and wide."
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Barnom says, "And the forces are gathering."
Lancecile nods at Rlen.
Barnom says, "Only I can protect all of you."
Rogane removes a polished zebrawood bangle from in his spidersilk cloak.
Rogane waves a polished zebrawood bangle at Barnom.
Rlen says, "Your farce as victim is preposterous."
Rogane giggles.
Barnom exclaims, "For the shadows seek blood, flesh, souls!"
Rogane put a polished zebrawood bangle in his spidersilk cloak.
Qaatil asks, "Will they even reach into the barren deserts of the south?"
Speaking softly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Skydream asks, "Do you plan to keep me dead to serve
against my will?"
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Lancecile asks, "And you don't control these shadows?"
Qaatil says, "Surely a remote location such as that.."
Barnom says, "I can bring you into my kingdom of death, where he will not touch you."
Cruxophim sighs quietly.
Raincail quietly says, "Yeh werent so keen on protectin anyone when things din go yer way in ta'vaalor."
You softly ask, "Why take the souls of the dead from our lands where they laid in peace?"
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "And threats of oblivion are meaningless. I'd rather oblivion than see you stand unopposed."
Barnom shrugs at Raincail.
Barnom asks, "Am I not allowed my moments?"
Barnom says, "The elves were foolish."
Barnom says, "I will instead deal with individuals now."
Skydream seems slightly different. The stench of decay is growing more pervasive.
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Rogane says, "I will help you wage a war against the elves."
Cruxophim glances at Skydream.
Barnom says, "No longer will I seek out other nations."
Zentalin's body suddenly grows darker.
Cruxophim fidgets.
You feel the preservation on your spirit fade.
Cruxophim glances at Zentalin.
Barnom says, "I do not seek to go to war."
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Rogane says, "As long as you allow me to make a generation of half-elves."
Raincail nods.
Zentalin sighs heavily.
Cruxophim fidgets.
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Cruxophim appears consumed with inner conflict.
Speaking in Guildspeak, the ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "Someone keep me please."
You've gained 1 physical training point.
You softly ask, "Barnom is the Arcane Eye involved?"
Zentalin raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...
Zentalin gestures at Skydream.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Skydream, then fades into the body.
Speaking in Guildspeak, the ghostly voice of Skydream softly says, "Thank you."
You raise your hand while murmuring a soft orison, focusing on the Preservation spell...
>cast Skydream
Barnom says, "I do not control these shadows, no."
You gesture at Skydream.
You hear a gentle voice whisper to you, "The soul of Skydream is already bound by the web of
PRESERVATION, my child."
Barnom looks over at Lancecile and shakes his head.
Barnom asks, "How...did you die?"
Barnom peers quizzically at Skydream.
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
You glance at Skydream and immediately realize she has 0 spirit levels out of a maximum of 9, and is
currently preserved for 1552 seconds.
You also notice that she has some minor cuts and bruises on her left hand, deep gashes and serious
bleeding from her abdominal area, and deep gashes and serious bleeding from her back.
She is bleeding slightly from the back and profusely from the abdomen.
She is also quite dead.
Barnom exclaims, "I overlooked you!"
Barnom exclaims, "My goodness!"
Raincail quietly asks, "So, jest ta be clear. One of our most dangerous enemies is called .Madelyne?"
Speaking softly to Barnom, the ghostly voice of Skydream says, "You used that dark elf to attack me."
Darielyn casually observes her surroundings.
Barnom exclaims, "Here I thought I removed my ears!"
Barnom exclaims, "Not my eyes!"
Barnom points at Skydream.
Qaatil asks, "I wonder.. how did you originally die, Barnon.. were you always a Lich?"
Barnom exclaims, "Rise!"
Qaatil touches Barnom, but before he can, flames envelop his finger. Startled, he pulls his hand back
before it becomes a cinder, but not before the damage is done.
You softly ask, "Barnom?"
Skydream nods at Barnom.
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "The eye was my doing."
Qaatil gasps.
You softly ask, "Are the Arcane Eyes involved?"
Barnom peers quizzically at you.
Barnom says, "Why, yes, I suppose."
Cruxophim gazes at his surroundings.
Barnom says, "If Cross is involved."
You softly ask, "Which ones?"
Cruxophim idly flicks his blood red-veined deep black wings for a few moments and sleekly rests them
against his back.
Barnom looks over at Raincail and shakes his head.
Darielyn rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Barnom says, "Elithain is your danger."
You softly ask, "What do they seek?"
Lancecile leans on his spikestar.
Barnom says, "His daughter is but a spirit inside of a golem, to do his bidding."
Raincail nods.
Barnom says, "The shadows..."
Barnom says, "Yes...yes the shadows have a name."
You softly say, "I know of his daughjter."
Raincail quietly says, "Ah."
Barnom says, "But no, I will not speak it."
A grey wolf pads in.
Barnom says, "I cannot."
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "Another danger, perhaps. You are most assuredly a more concerning
one."
You softly say, "She was hiding in our town."
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Barnom says, "To say so, gives it power."
Zentalin nods.
Cruxophim gazes at Barnom.
Barnom says, "I do not know."
Barnom shrugs at you.
The grey wolf glances around the room, its eyes gleaming intelligently.
Zentalin huskily says, "To say the name could summon the very shadows we seek to avoid."
Barnom says, "The shadows seek to consume, they are chaos."
The grey wolf pads around the area.
Barnom says, "It is...all it knows."
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Raincail quietly says, "Yer still mad, but yer making slightly more sense den usual. If it's truth you
speak."
You softly say, "The Summoner sought her before Elithian got her."
Barnom exclaims, "Yes it's truth!"
Cruxophim fearfully repeats, "Chaos."
Barnom says, "You see, your people are so quick to...try to stop me."
Zentalin huskily asks, "Do the shadows have a particular enemy in mind?"
Barnom says, "Yes, I'm a lich, undead, blah."
You softly ask, "Tell me what Elithian wants?"
Rlen says, "If by truth you mean lies conveniently close enough to reality to seem truth to further his
ends."
Rlen nods at Raincail.
Rogane takes a deep breath and closes his eyes for a moment. A faint aura flickers around him.
Barnom says, "Sorry I can't be some cursed mayor in demon armor and eat flesh."
Barnom says, "Like Walkar."
Barnom cackles!
Raincail quietly says, "Can you blame people? even before becomin lich, you were not the person ta
trust."
Cruxophim quietly says, "People can be rather quick to their judgment, particularly in dire
circumstances."
Cruxophim frowns.
Rogane rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "True. Shame you couldn't be like that. You're much worse."
You softly ask, "Barnom One question please?"
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Barnom scratches his chin, blood dripping down his gruesome jaw and over his bony fingers.
Barnom nods at Raincail.
Skydream chants a short but reverent orison, asking for justice to be served.
Rogane gestures while calling upon the lesser spirits for aid...
Rogane gestures.
Rogane momentarily gets a faroff look in his eyes, and then returns to normal.
Barnom says, "Good point."
Cruxophim quietly muses, "Walkar, aye?"
Raincail adopts an agreeable expression.
Barnom peers quizzically at you.
Skydream turns an inquisitive ear toward you.
You softly ask, "Tell me what Elithian wants?"
The grey wolf sits down, his tail sweeping across the ground.
Barnom shrugs.
Rogane deeply says, "Walkar is a bafoon."
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Barnom says, "I don't know."
Barnom says, "The shadows move him."
The grey wolf stands up.
The grey wolf pads off.
You softly ask, "Do you know where the golem is?"
Speaking deeply to Barnom, Lancecile asks, "Do you have proof?"
Rogane traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...
Zentalin huskily asks, "Perhaps Voln's order will be a target?"
Rlen presses his fingers to his anklet. A warm flush suffuses Rlen's features.
Rlen gets an odd look on his face.
Rogane gestures into the air.
A silvery fog coalesces around Rogane, obscuring his form. When the fog dissipates, Rogane is gone.
Barnom says, "And the shadows seek to throw the world into chaos before consuming it."
A frolicsome forest spirit hurriedly flits out of sight.
Speaking softly to Barnom, Cruxophim inquires, "The... shadows move Walkar?"
Barnom looks over at you and shakes his head.
Barnom peers quizzically at Lancecile.
Barnom asks, "Proof?"
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Raincail quietly says, "My question exactly."
Barnom says, "Ask all who knew Grishom well, or even less then well."
Zentalin huskily says, "Is the Order of Voln a particular threat? I would assume they would be targetted."
Barnom says, "Elithain Cross used them all."
Raincail quietly asks, "DO the shadows move walkar as well?"
Zentalin huskily says, "Probably the dark gods."
Barnom says, "To kill Stone, get his golem, and move further into his goals."
Raincail ponders.
Barnom says, "Walkar's armor is from Cross."
You softly say, "Yes we know that story."
Barnom says, "It was a "gift" to keep him alive, so he could still fight Grishom."
Barnom asks, "So you tell me?"
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen asks, "As opposed to you who want to consume it before casting it into
shadow?"
Katrynne rubs her chin thoughtfully.
Speaking wryly to Raincail, Cruxophim replies, "That would likely be a 'yes'."
Barnom peers quizzically at Raincail.
Raincail grunts.
Barnom flails his arms about.
Barnom glances at Rlen.
Cruxophim presses his fingers to his chain. A brief spasm wracks his shoulders in shivering.
Barnom says, "You are misguided."
Barnom nods at Rlen.
You softly say, "The summoner wanted the Golem before grisham found her."
An emaciated golden-eyed wight just arrived.
Speaking softly to Rlen, Skydream says, "Careful, he'll use you to kill me again."
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Qaatil peers quizzically at an emaciated golden-eyed wight.
Skydream glances at Barnom.

An emaciated golden-eyed wight chants an evil incantation.
An emaciated golden-eyed wight gestures at Zentalin!
CS: +227 - TD: +321 + CvA: +12 + d100: +33 - +15 == -64
Warded off!
Barnom waves a hand at the golden-eyed wight, shooing it off.
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "I've been accused of that, previously."
Zentalin chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...
Zentalin snarls menacingly!
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Zentalin grunts and snarls at the same time, looking mighty fierce!
Barnom moves to stand in front of Rlen.
Speaking to Barnom, Rlen says, "Seems I was right and the accuser is gone."
Skydream cowers away from Rlen.
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Qaatil shakes his head at Zentalin and clucks his tongue.

Barnom exclaims, "Boo!"
The lich gestures at Rlen. Rlen begins to flicker and fade, a look of agony etched upon his face. A
moment later, he simply winks out of sight.
Barnom cackles!
Barnom applauds.
Barnom applauds.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Raincail winces.
Skydream blinks at Barnom.
Zentalin shudders.
Vikira blinks.
Speaking softly to Barnom, Skydream asks, "Where did he go?"
Whorten blinks.
Lancecile deeply says, "Umm."
Cruxophim examines Barnom closely, sizing him up and taking note of all the details.
Sefina casually observes her surroundings.
Skydream searches around for a moment.
Barnom exclaims, "Well, it's time to return to the matters of court!"
Barnom asks, "Where? or when?"
Sefina says, "Poof."
Barnom peers quizzically at Skydream.
Zentalin huskily says, "I was placed into a temporal rift by you the other night.. it was.."
Barnom cackles!
Barnom nods at Zentalin.
Zentalin huskily says, "Enlightening.."
Skydream blinks at Barnom.
Barnom exclaims, "Thrilling!"
Zentalin looks thoughtfully at Barnom.
Skydream cowers away from Barnom.
Zentalin sighs heavily.
Raincail begins chuckling at Barnom!
Zentalin huskily says, "This is all much to take in."
A look of introspection flits across Cruxophim's face.
Cruxophim hangs his head.
You sense Trennia looking in on you.
Zentalin huskily says, "Especially for a recluse like myself."
Lancecile deeply says, "He annoyed you so made him vanish."
Lancecile rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Barnom strolls off into the darkness of the inn, his tattered cloak dragging behind him.
Darielyn gives a short little hum of surprise.
Zentalin shakes his head.
Skydream nods.
Katrynne shifts her weight.
You softly ask, "Barnom you will help us fight Elithian and the golem?"
Lancecile put a vicious onyx-handled spikestar with a large black viper wrapped around it in his viper
skin scabbard.
Zentalin huskily says, "He's got personality for a Lich, that's for sure."
Skydream softly says, "He'll return."
Raincail quietly says, "I have ta say. hard ta chose between listenin to someone who eats faces and
someone who looks like 'is face has been et."
Lancecile waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Lancecile seems a bit weaker than before.
Qaatil says, "The Xanlaari in the Sea of Fire should be alerted."
Lancecile deeply says, "He's just trying to scare us with tricks."
Qaatil says, "They would ally with Voln for this occasion."
You softly say, "He killed me for Refusing to follow him."
Cruxophim sighs.
Lancecile shrugs.
The dim aura fades from around Whorten.
Katrynne shuffles her feet.
An emaciated golden-eyed wight just arrived.
Skydream softly says, "We should all prepare for what is to come."
Zentalin chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...
Zentalin channels at an emaciated golden-eyed wight.

Particles of dust and soot rise from the floor at Zentalin's feet as he releases a pulsating, platinum ripple
of energy toward an emaciated golden-eyed wight!
CS: +448 - TD: +148 + CvA: +10 + d100: +94 == +404
Warding failed!
The golden-eyed wight is cloaked in a blinding platinum light and assailed for 236 points of damage!
... 50 points of damage!
Tremendous plasma discharge slices deep into the golden-eyed wight's chest!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the golden-eyed wight's
body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The golden-eyed wight falls to the ground motionless.
Zentalin searches an emaciated golden-eyed wight.
Zentalin gathers the remaining coins.

An emaciated golden-eyed wight crumbles to dust.
Lancecile nods at Skydream.
Lancecile concentrates deeply for a moment.
Whorten slides an ornate gold ring off his finger.
Whorten slides a gold and brass ring on his finger.
Suddenly Whorten vanishes!
Zentalin ponders.
Cruxophim nods slowly at Skydream.
Qaatil joins Zentalin's group.
You sense Windtalker looking in on you.
Raincail quietly says, "He seems genuinely concerned about what is coming."
You softly say, "Thank you skydream for coming."
Qaatil asks, "Who, the Lich?"

An old memory bubbles up from your past, and causes you to reflect a moment. With a flash of insight,
you realize you understand yourself a bit better than you did a moment ago. The sudden feeling of self-
knowledge is a pleasant one.
Skydream curtsies to you.
You hug Skydream.
Katrynne just went north.
You recognize Skydream using the Symbol of Recognition.
Cruxophim nods gravely at Raincail.
Skydream hugs you.
Katrynne just arrived.
Katrynne just climbed down a dark staircase.
Raincail quietly says, "Even if it isnt truth, he is worried about something."
Cruxophim darkly says, "He may have good reason to."
Qaatil says, "The shadows will pass over and through him."
You hug Zentalin.
Zentalin grins at you.
Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.
The feeling fades as quickly as it came.
Skydream softly says, "I will always come to the aid of one of our fellow Voln Members."
Zentalin huskily says, "Ahh woman of Koar."
Skydream smiles.
Zentalin huskily says, "Good to see you alive again."
Sefina's group just climbed down a dark staircase.
Skydream softly says, "I am indeed."
Skydream nods at Zentalin.
Chalica just arrived.
Lancecile sighs.
Darielyn just climbed down a dark staircase.
Lancecile places his hand on his round mithril brooch.
Suddenly, he vanishes!
Chalica leans on Cruxophim, giving him a companionable grin.
You softly say, "He said Koar was false and woundnt help us."
Cruxophim smiles at Chalica.
Chalica frowns.
Zentalin grunts.
You softly say, "He is wrong."
Raincail quietly says, "He's mad. He'll say what he will to cause unrest and bring us to his side."
Cruxophim sternly says, "Any who believe the shadows to be defeated by a simple display of bravado
or faith are fools. A wise person might ponder their course of action in the coming days. Give it due
thought."
Raincail quietly says, "But that doesnt mean there isnt a threat."
Chalica ponders.
Raincail quietly says, "Another threat I mean. one that he is trying to hide behind us to avoid."
Raincail shrugs.
Speaking gently to you, Cruxophim says, "It is not my place to dispute that."
You softly ask, "How much thought before you joined him crux?"
Raincail slings an invar-spiked glaes tower shield over his shoulder.
Cruxophim ponders.
Raincail glances at Cruxophim, inspecting him carefully with an expression of cocksureness.
The glowing specks of energy surrounding Qaatil suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade
away.
You softly say, "You know nothing of what you speak."
Qaatil is no longer protected by the shimmering field of energy.
Speaking softly to you, Cruxophim says, "None. Or years of thought, depending upon how you look at
it."
Raincail quietly says, "Not much. not that I saw."
Qaatil appears somehow different.
Qaatil seems a bit less imposing.
You softly say, "Faith is everything."
Qaatil no longer bristles with energy.
Chalica agrees with you.
The layer of stone surrounding Qaatil crumbles away.
Qaatil just arrived. Wait, wasn't he here already?
Qaatil makes a quick gesture while calling upon the powers of the elements...
Raincail quietly says, "Yeh were compelled though. i must say."
Speaking quietly to you, Cruxophim adds, "Only the end will tell."
Skydream hugs you.
You softly say, "And I have faith in the landing and what we all stand for."
Qaatil says, "Quite an unusual Lich, that one is."
With a flap of his wings, the crested owl launches himself into the air.
The crested owl flies off.
Speaking cryptically to Raincail, Cruxophim says, "Not by what you might think."
Cruxophim shrugs his shoulders, lifting his wings slightly.
Qaatil traces a series of glowing runes while chanting an arcane phrase...
Chalica frowns at Cruxophim.
Qaatil gestures.
Speaking softly in Guildspeak to you, Skydream says, "I'm going to return to the monestary."
Cruxophim softly says, "But, there is a more important plight at hand."
Speaking in Aelotian, Chalica asks something you don't understand.
Skydream waves to you.
Cruxophim blinks in surprise as though just becoming aware of Chalica's presence.
You softly say, "I spoke to the Te'hir before Qaatil."

An emaciated golden-eyed wight just arrived.
Zentalin chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...

Warding failed!
The golden-eyed wight is cloaked in a blinding platinum light and assailed for 305 points of damage!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the golden-eyed wight's
body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.
The golden-eyed wight falls to the ground motionless.
Zentalin searches an emaciated golden-eyed wight.
An emaciated golden-eyed wight crumbles to dust.

The air about Raincail stops shimmering.
Cruxophim smiles at Chalica.
Lady Skydream just went north.
Raincail gazes heavenward.
Chalica frowns at Cruxophim.
Raincail seems to lose some dexterity.
You softly say, "They came to warn us of Elithian."
Cruxophim paces back and forth.
Raincail quietly says, "These walls are suffocating. I need the sunshine."
Qaatil clasps Zentalin's hand tenderly.
Qaatil steps into the shifting portal, followed closely by his group.
The shifting portal shimmers slightly, the haze within its glowing outline growing opaque as it contracts
to a pinpoint of blue-grey mist and vanishes.
Cruxophim darkly says, "Something may need to be done about Walkar."
Raincail quietly says, "What little there is these days."
Chalica sighs.
Raincail nods at Cruxophim.
Chalica turns around.
Chalica just climbed down a dark staircase.
Cruxophim gazes at Raincail.
Raincail quietly says, "That I can agree with you completely."
The area becomes darker.
Speaking softly to Raincail, Cruxophim says, "That may be up to your lot to decide, however."
Rlen just arrived.
Rlen mutters under his breath.
Rlen says, "Coward."
Raincail quietly says, "I dont disagree. My lot is still my own however."
Speaking softly to Raincail, Cruxophim warns, "I don't mean a lynch mob, of course. But there's more at play here than the surface would show, as always."
Cruxophim rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Rlen says, "More like a lich mob."
Cruxophim begins chuckling at Rlen!
Raincail groans at Rlen.
Raincail snickers.
Cruxophim slaps himself on the forehead.
Cruxophim grins crookedly.


Winter was also sent several nites ago to a temporal rift like Rlen was here. She said she wandered around aimlessly for a while and finally fell out of it into a pond.

If anyone has any advice that would help her remove the curse that Barnom put on her please let her know.

Lady Warlord Roelaren
