** Aren had attacked Benedir earlier that day and threatened a squire

** managed to escape. During the evening sermon Aren taunted Arven asking
** why we had stopped hunting him. We then checked Aldea again, Both
** Arven and me had been invisible. Aren was in company with Vevila, a bard.
** Vevilla and Aren killed Arvens falcon and fled...
**
Someone sings in xyllic:
Okay, now Im mad
It's Night.
You say in xyllic:
Because Vevila helped him?
Someone sings in xyllic:
No, because Tracker is dead.
**
** Tracker is the name Arven gave his falcon.
**
It's Night.
This is the harbour of Aldea Morir. This is an old quay that looks as if
it could sink at any moment. The constant creaking of wood rings in your
ears. There is a consistent stream of burly looking sailors stumbling
drunkenly into and out of the pub to the north. To the west you can see
the cliff and to the east you can enter the marketplace. The shipyard is
to the southeast. There is a departure times table.
You can leave: north, east, southeast.
The feluke 'Black Tear' arrives.
It gets lighter.
**
** There they come again.
**
The feluke 'Black Tear' sails southeast.

< Priests of Rokoon > Stonebeard: There he is again
It's Night.
This is shipyard of Aldea Morir. The smells of freshly cut wood and water
sealing concoctions thoroughly permeates the air. The ringing sound of
hammering and perpetual sawing is a constant reminder of the work being
done. The partially finished hulks of ships sit in drydock. There is a
sign displaying important information about how to buy a ship. Beside the
shipyard is a small marketplace. Patapalo's Black Market is to the east
and Barbanegra's Weaponry And Armoury is to the south. To the southeast
you see the entrance to the local smithy. There is a banner above this
entrance. The market continues to the north. Northwest you can see the
harbour of Aldea Morir.
You can leave: north, east, southeast, south, northwest.
A feluke 'Black Tear', a schnigge 'Anagorisis', a schnigge 'Goblin' and a
schnigge 'Haven'.
Vevila[bard].
**
** Since Vevila attacked and helped kill Tracker, Arvens falcon, and since
** she did actively switch to attack me when we fought Aren, I decided to
** attack her.
**
Standing securely you deliver an adept and forceful kick against the thigh
of Vevila.
Vevila topples to the ground.
Vevila's wounds start to bleed.
You massacre the abdomen of Vevila with your hammer.
Vevila comes up with the body.
Vevila takes a deep breath and starts to sing...
Someone chants a prayer to his deity.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
What is happening here?
Battering aside Vevila's defense you smite your dwarven hammer diagonally
across the chest of Vevila dealing heavy injury.
Your dwarven hammer produces a small popping noise.
**
** Hehe, the pop of death...
**
Arven's hologram shimmers into view.
**
** There he is. :)
**
Vevila stands up again.
Vevila is bleeding heavily!
Vevila sings in xyllic:
Something's going on that's not quite clear.

but somehow recovers and continues to sing.

together at the hilt.

We're gonna have a party

Vevila is ready again.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
It's starting tonight
Arven hums a mystic melody.
You tickle the left leg of Vevila with your hammer.
Several faint whiffs of smoke rise from Vevila where acid burns away her
armours and exposed flesh.

When we're dancing on the ceiling

here.
You look up to Aren.
Aren is a slender dark-haired male human, presenting himself as:
Aren, male human.
As you examine this slender human you begin to feel a bit uneasy. The way he
carries himself hints at a darkness which he wears like a shroud. Despite the
fact that his wiry frame is layered with muscle, he still gives the impression
of being just a little too thin. His dark, unkempt hair flies chaotically in
every direction, and large, grotesque scars mar the skin on his cheeks.
You notice scars on his forehead, left cheek and right cheek.
There are several burns on his exposed skin.
He has glowing red eyes.
He is tall and normal for a human.
He looks ugly.
He is fighting Stonebeard.
He is not in a good shape.

wristbands, a dull black leathermail, two golden rings, a lyre shaped
silver earring, an official judge badge, a pair of V-shaped scabbards, a
pair of dull black boots, a pair of gloves, a pair of leathern leg plates
and a sash.
You guess he is wearing nothing additionally.
Vevila falls unconscious.
Your wounds stopped bleeding.
For a short time Arven and Vevila are connected by a cone of circling winds.

here.

Hi Vevila

You say in xyllic:
Aparently you keep bad company
Arven points at corpse of the green-eyed olive-skinned female halfelf, and it
looks better again.

**
You drop a corpse of the green-eyed olive-skinned female halfelf.

You say in xyllic:
Corpse is too heavy for the disc.
Arven gets a large backpack from the corpse.

Could someone tell my husband to come get my things.
Arven looks at the large backpack.
It gets lighter.

** Aren's ghost entered, he died from bloodloss a couple of rooms away.
**
You say in xyllic:
Who is that?

Lias
Arven hums a mystic melody.

Where is your stuff Aren?

So, why'd you attack Vevila?
Arven gets a backpack from the disc.
You say in xyllic:
Get visible!
Arven looks at the backpack.
You say in xyllic:
I don't talk with those I cannot see.
You say in xyllic:
She was in bad company, picked up arms against a knight of Rokoon and
helped kill a messenger of Rokoon
You say to Aren in xyllic:
You should know better than to take along "innocent" beings when you hunt
and are hunted.
You suddenly hear the voice of Lias whispering into your ear:
*sigh* Understood. I will get my ship from clouds, I am in Padorn
currently.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
Your idea of bad company and mine is different.
Aren says in xyllic:
She was in bad company, perhaps, but she never attacked you.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
I think you keep bad company.
You say in xyllic:
She willingly switched targets before the falcon was dead.
You say in xyllic:
She could have left and she would have been left alone then.
Grey clouds drift across the sky, and the air becomes heavy and humid.
You say to Vevila in xyllic:
Your husband will come. He has to pick up his ship first though it seems.
Arven sings to Vevila in xyllic:
This is the penalty for your previous choices.
Vevila laughs at Arven.
Arven sings to Vevila in xyllic:
If you repeat your actions again, this this penalty will be repeated.
Vevila laughs.
Arven sings to Vevila in xyllic:
You can choose a different path - You are not condemed to this penalty
always - only Aren is.
You say in xyllic:
Aren hunted a satai earlier today. And threatened a knight with death.
You say in xyllic:
Aren also was attacked earlier by Arven and me. And he mocked Arven
about us not persuing him any further.
You say in xyllic:
So Aren cannot claim that he knew nothing about the upcomming action.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
I knew what I was doing.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
I am not an idiot as you may think.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
Although you claim righteousness, you are both scum.
Arven sings in xyllic:
In what way?
Arven smiles curiously.
Vevila laughs.
You say in xyllic:
Just because you make poor judgement does not make you an idiot. Nor
does making poor choices due to lack of knowledge of the consequences.
Aren looks at the shimmering blue disc.
Arven looks at the shimmering blue disc.
You say to Aren in xyllic:
Have no fear, your gear will be returned to the usual place.
Aren blows away.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
You are not better than the people you comdemn, you are judgemental and
arrogant.
Arven sings in xyllic:
The people we condem are those that murder and slaughter people for fun,
or for the purpose of their misguided relegion
Vevila sings in xyllic:
And what is it that you are doing.
Arven sings in xyllic:
Even if we are arrogant and judgemental as you say, how does that make
us equal to them?
Vevila sings in xyllic:
You hunted Aren for fun.
The schnigge 'Dove' arrives.
It gets lighter.
Lias arrives.
It gets lighter.
You offer a corpse of the green-eyed olive-skinned female halfelf to Lias.
Lias accepts a corpse of the green-eyed olive-skinned female halfelf.
Lias nods to you.
Arven sings in xyllic:
We hunted Aren because he threatened to kill a Squire of Rokoon.
Arven sings in xyllic:
And he attacked a Satai
Lias nods.
You say to Vevila in xyllic:
We do not accept transgression against members of our guild.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
Yes well
Lias leaves onto the 'dove'.
It gets darker.
Arven waves in Vevila's direction.
Vevila sings in xyllic:
I do not accept pompus pricks running around killing my friends.
Vevila blows onto the 'dove'.
It gets darker.
A male voice shouts: coming, Vevila?
You ask in xyllic:
The backpack?
Arven sings in xyllic:
Dropped it back into the corpse
The schnigge 'Dove' sails northwest.
It gets darker.
You say in xyllic:
Ah, ok.
You say in xyllic:
well, successful hunting day.
You say in xyllic:
I suggest we go to the monastery first, beg Rokoon for forgiveness about
the death of his messenger and return stuff to Aren with a new messenger.
Arven sings in xyllic:
Her arguement was pretty.... pathetic
Arven sings in xyllic:
I find my anger over the loss of Tracker has been assuagued.
Arven sings in xyllic:
Now, it is only grief.
You say in xyllic:
He served Rokoon well.
You say in xyllic:
It was my fault not to rescue him in time.
You say in xyllic:
I was too focused on bringing down Aren
Arven sings in xyllic:
I will not ask Rokoon for another falcon for now..
You say in xyllic:
ok

** Some walking to Old Tilverton
**
It's Night.
You are at a large pile of stones which once must have been a house. To the
east is a cracked road leading through the ruins of a large town. To all
other directions you can't see anything but forest. A rotten, mold-covered
sign stands here.
You can leave: north, east.
Aren[bhaal_warrior, BANISHED, Padorn_OUTLAW] is resting here (naked).
Arven dances in.
A disc hovers in.
Your team order:
First row:
Stonebeard (leader) is in good shape.
Second row:
Arven is in good shape.
Arven makes a gesture.
The disc falls to the ground and disappears.
Arven sings in xyllic:
We did not check your gemlines either
Aren says in xyllic:
It's not like you don't know who I associate with.
Aren shrugs.
< OOC >: Arven: thats really too annoying for everyone involved :P
You say in xyllic:
We had to wait for Lias to pick up Vevila and her corpse.
< OOC >: Arven: gemline raiding is for assholes
< OOC >: agreed
Aren nods.
< OOC >: thats why we don't do it
< OOC >: apart from the mages getting enchant improves, its just damn annoying
Arven blesses this area in the name of Rokoon.
Aren snarls at Arven.
Arven sings to Aren in xyllic:
Go in peace Aren... until the next time
Aren sits up and clambers to his feet.
< Priests of Rokoon > Stonebeard: And it will be soon I fear
< Priests of Rokoon > Arven: We will be ready
< Priests of Rokoon > Stonebeard: As Rokoon wills us to be.
< Priests of Rokoon > Arven: We are the Dragons breath
< Priests of Rokoon > Stonebeard: We burn those that stand against the dragon.

** Back in the temple...
**
You say in xyllic:
I think we should add Vevila to the watched list.
You say in xyllic:
Her actions and statements clearly show her to be a potential threat to
our faith.
You concentrate on your gem, it begins to glow brightly.
You tell Thoraine: Aren has been dealt with. Unfortunately, a guild colleague
of your wife, Vevila, assisted Aren and was also brought to justice.
You say in xyllic:
I informed Thoraine about Aren's death and the death of Vevila, as
Adelle is a bard just like her.
< Priests of Rokoon > Arven: You open the watched status voting for Vevila?
< Priests of Rokoon > Stonebeard: I will
You suddenly hear the voice of Thoraine whispering into your ear:
Yes, Arven had told me. 'Twould seem Vevila requires a bit more
watching than I had previously expected.
**
** As we noticed that Vevila had been set to watched earlier, though she somehow
** was not listed in the brown book, we decided to put her for banishment.

Greetings fellow council members.
When Arven and me hunted Aren today, he
was in company of a halfelven bard by the
name of Vevila.
Vevila not only assisted Aren in killing
the falcon that served Arven, she also
attacked me while I was fighting Aren.
Both fled and when they returned, only
Vevila was visible, I attacked her and
both Aren and Vevila died.
Following her death Vevila made clear
that she assisted Aren in full conscience
of the consequences and her attitude in my
eyes clearly shows a potential future threat
against our church and faith.
