If you have a better idea for the new title - just say it!

"Meeting old and new friends"?

I started the summary, but was to tired(say lazy) to look all things up which I didn't know exactly anymore (but that doesn't matter probably). If you find something very wrong, please tell me and I edit.

Out of curiosity, is there anything against Raspberry and I being in the Quallian already when you all arrive...? Or was there something else already in mind? *feels disoriented*

Edited by: Morcaanan at: 8/4/05 21:36

No,Morcanaan, you just need a good reason to be there (maybe get the order to find out who has the heart ??), Raspberry I would say we meet outside in the vale of the brownies - I don't think that brownies venture just like this in the Quallian.

You've also got to take into consideration that Raspberry is not from the Vale of Brownies. With his desire to explore, its very likely that he could be found in the Quallian.

Ooh, look, we lose one shadow and gain another... or is it a different character you're playing, Melor? Or Erian, whichever you prefer.

I can't think of a good reason someone would want me searching for the Heart, but (I don't think) the story isn't at that point yet, so my imagination should have enough time to kick in before then.

Oh, and as for the name, Reunion is good. Concise and poetic, all at once.

Just Erian is fine. And Raspberry is the char I'm joining this story with.

He would, but not without some resistance, and only if he does not sense any ill intentions on the part of the one who took his reigns. If Tal'as tried to mound Coore that would be a totally different story and would be in a world of hurt.

The reason Coore acted the way he did towards Malor while he was stealing the sword was that Coore sensed Malors ill intentions of taking something that was not his from the sattlebags, and doing so in the middle of a battle.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

hello  Ta'las!

Capher, did you pick up the flute already - I was not sure, didn't want to go through all the posts again.

To Talias recovery. Ta'las has mentioned a good point - my aj'nuvic should be allowed access to me, which is not the case so far. Ta'las, propose this to the elves - this is your first good thing you can do for Talia - the elves weren't aware of the close bonding.
The second thing is of course hearing Ta'las voice and dialect
The next could be Fluffy, my dunemouse licking my face or something like that, that being the last bit Talia needed to come back entirely.
This is what I had in mind.
However, with Capher, we could add something more ... a turning point.
I have to talk to Rayne first, but my idea was, that Talias soul is somehow captured, bound to the fire demon who by returning into his realm drew it with him  - to an certain extent. Therefore she is going down this barren hillside with the firepits all around, though nevertheless without light - like as if she would step down into the realm of netherworld.

Capher , you could now be the one reaching down into this realm and  virtually turning me around, so that I face again the path up the hill. Ta'las voice then is the one who attracts me and sets me in motion , brings me to walk up the steep, stoney path again. So both of you are needed to bring me back. That doesn't tell us yet, why I should be important for the case!

Btw, where is Garrek in the moment with heart and sword?

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Sounds ok to me Talia

And welcome back Ta'las.  I was floundering a bit with your character.  I hope I did not damage it too much.

Have no idea about Garrek.

Capher.

Hello all!  

I'm glad to be back and writing again!  I will make sure to do as you've said Talia, and insist that Swift be brought to you.  I recall reading somewhere (I can't find it now) that your Aj was, in fact, not with you, so I thought I would bring up the importance of the bond.

Capher, I thought you did a great job!  Thank you for puppeting my character!

Ta'las

Ta'las, you would likely not know Terra's name as her voice was soo soft and weak that only Capher would be able to hear it, and even if Ta'las has better than average hearing he would need to be standing right next to Capher to hear her at all.

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Sorry about that - I made the change.  You even mentioned in your post that your voice was only audible to Capher.

Ta'las

Now that I had a idea how to integrate Morcanaan, Capher is back to his full self!  No problem, I'll will have another idea hopefully soon.
(The idea was, that Morcanaan could meet Capher in his wolfform - both injure each other - Morcanaan needs afterwards the help of the group-Ta'las or Lieofin were looking after Capher- Capher has a minor injury, as man just a blooy arm, ... but well, has anybody another idea, how we could meet Morcanaan AND see the need to invite him in our group?

What about that assasin Terra mentioned? Perhaps I am hunting the assasin (for some obscure reason) and find him dead, and then track down the rest of you...?

"assasin Terra mentioned"
help me, what assasin??

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I am somewhat wondering this myself... could you mean Malor or whatever his name is? The one that nearly got the snot kicked out of him by Coore while he stole Talias sword?

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Gah, I MUST stop staying up till two in the morning. Sorry, I misread something. I'll shut up now.

Actually, 'Teri mentioned Melor, who is more or less out of the picture now; he got himself scared stiff by the demon, and decided it's too much for him.

As for Garrek... He really don't know where to start back up. We kinda got lost, and have just been playing in the moment. My apologies, but I've been doing that everywhere now, not just here.

Anyway, any ideas as to how to introduce him again, he is most likely at Aer now, would be helpful. I think I have something, if it would work, about him trying to visit Talia/getting the story from one of the healers. Seriously floundering in the dark, though, and I apologize.

-------------------
Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.
I have so sworn...

No problem, Teri, I knew, that Melor dropped the sword at some place or person, and it doesn't matter how exactly it happened. If you have an idea how to integrate Garrek (in the group), fine. If not, he could just follow the group out of curiosity to get to know, which items he carries, and why they might be valuable. The group could go forward without the gem, for Siroled could have a vision and the high elven circle tell them, that the gem will follow them, and that they should go on...


The Ylfferhim don't like to leave their forest, so maybe they would hire a human warrior to search for the gem - outside the forest? Then they could call in Morcanaan to Aer'yferhim and give him instructions. There he could accidentically meet Garrek - who makes himself suspicious , asking for "the burned woman"??
What about that?
How both proceed is still open. (Morcanaan can still join the group later, when all leave the Quallian)

Sorry Talia, for messing things up.  I had no idea what you were thinking.  About Morcanaan that is.  I thought that Capher needed to have complete control of himself to not only help Terra, but to also heal you.  I kind of thought that only with my magic along with your dunemouse, Ta'las's voice, could we pull you back from the brink of death.

I do have an idea to get Morcanaan into the story.  If I recall correctly, and correct me if I am wrong, but did not Garrek have the sword and the Heart?  If that is the case, could not Morcanaan be tracking him, for some offense, maybe he did not get paid enough for the last job he did for Garrek or whatever.  And his tracking leads him to where we are all are, in the meadow, all except you that is.  Would that not be one way to get him integrated into the story?

Or am I wrong and Garrek only has the Sword or is it the Heart?  I wish those storylines were still around?

Capher.

well, that would certainly be in Character for me...'cept, what would keep me from trying to lobb his head off when I catch up with him?

Teri, Ta'las, I still need some guidence on what you want to do right now before we move to morning. I can puppet Leiofin as needed but I am looking toward you for direction on the emediate events. If you wish me to puppet you through to morning then just let me know what you intend your charcters to do.

Capher, if you have any plans during the night perhaps its best if you let me know as well so I can leave you an opening.

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Capher, n worries, you didn't know, what I planned, couldn't, because it was an idea I had maybe after you had posted already.
Garrek is just now in Aer'Yfferian with sword and gem.

And I try to finish the new  overview soon, Capher.

Btw, have you seen, that themain posts of the story, where the demon transforme from the mage to himself have reappeared?


To the next posts: I can post for Lieofin - but everybody can of coirse as well - but I don't know, what you want, how to spend the night - will Capher come back in the morning - or what will we do?


Capher, maybe you could still be a bit unsure abiout what you can do, or you don't trust yourself - but Talia definitely needs your help, so you are forced to use them , with Terra this might be not so evident, or urgent.

Terra,

Ta'las expects the next few days will be long ones.  He has finished eating, and unless the others wish to speak more, he will sleep tonight.  There will be time in the morning to speak more about their journey.

Ta'las

People, are  we stuck again? Shall I (Lieofin) just carry us to the morning, when Capher joins us again and  then we go in one post to Aer'Yfferian?

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Err...if you want me to, I can try Capher's idea and be in pursuit of Garrek if you want - if that will help; I don't think it would be too hard for me to do, I just don't want to post without a green-light.

In my last post I was coming back to camp.  Since Liefolin was keeping watch.  I would think he would see my coming back especially since I am glowing at the time.  But maybe I did not make myself clear as to how close I was to the camp.

Capher.

Well, I am kind stuck as Terra is asleep, I was hoping to find out what Teri wanted to do so we could continue on in that front. Not much you can do while you are asleep.  

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Oh yes, Capher, I misinterpreted your last  post, thought you wanted to write  another post coming back to the camp.

Morcanaan, what if you watched the shapeshifting of Capher - accidentically - and then you are of course curious and follow Capher.
Why we should accept you in the group, is another question
Capher?

Hmm, maybe we (Teri??)  injure you somehow and feel obliged to take you into the Quallian with us?

Why you will stay with us - that could be another story - we can find a reason later.
Maybe you meet Garrek in Aer'yfferian, or you protect Teri from his affronts...  anything...
Teri, you would have a special relation to Morcanaan, feeling a bit guilty.

Ideas, just ideas...

Well, who is going to save Morcaanan?  Teri or Capher?

I could easily by just hearing the scream and coming to his rescue.

But I think Teri wants to do the rescuing?  Or maybe she wants to help the wolves  LOL

Anyway who is going to be?  I suppose even Lieofin could as well, since he is a magician.

Talia as far as why we should allow Morcaanan into the group could be as simple and yet complex as Seyella telling me so.  Why? she does not answer.  We can figure that out as the story progresses.  Maybe it is something he has to do voluntarily, but does not know what it is: for example, maybe he has to save an enemy, instead of kill him.  Or he has to fall in love, get married, and start a family line that has implications far into the future.  Just ideas ideas.

I have a million of them (grins evily)

Capher.

What did I do to 'Teri...?

Anyhoo. If I do get saved, I would probably feel a little bit honor bound to pay you people back, so that could certainly strengthen any reasons for keeping me on with the group

Lieofin won't act quickly - I think it is elven belief, that it is natural to die die - why should he take part of the human and not the wolves?

I think, you three should do the rescuing, maybe Ta'las and Teri, but Morcanaan should see Teri      (for later relation-emotion-complications    ) Capher, your help might be needed as well, there are a lot of angry wolves around!

Jeharaid, your post is great, I knew, why I wanted to have you on board!

I think, we still need your CD - finished or not finished!

Is it ok if I just link it, then post the whole thing when I finish it?

I just re-read your post. You mean I have to fall in love with 'Teri? *ponders*

Or, I know! I could be the object of insatiable jealousy and such between Terra and 'Teri! Yeah! The handsome rogue sort of thing, lol.

I'm kidding really, but glad you like my post, it's good to be in the action.

Don't forget Talia! Though  I will be quite sad for some time to have lost Koldar - and there is Ta'las, another handsome man as well, don't forget that! I didn't say, you have to fall in love (How could I , love is something unpredictable! ), but surely you will have a special relation to those who have saved you from the certain death!

Well, they should do it soon, otherwise the wolves may succeed in tearing you apart!

Yeah, no one loves an old man, who happens to be a dragon

I will probably save him, unless Teri did.

Capher.

Capher, you know, that Talia loves you! At least, I kissed you already, what no other man can say so far!

Capher, why so impatient! I had hoped, you would give Teri and Ta'las the chance to fight the wolves as well, so that they couldhave  developed a special relation from the beginning! We could have imagined the wolfpack so big, that your intervention would have been necessary as well.

To your wolves - half sentient or not - do you think, they know Avá? I doubt that.

Er, I kinda feel like I'm over-posting with that one, and taking exceptionally huge liberties with Lieofin, where I think I spelled the was'sthing wrong. If he ran for some distance back as a wolf, and got somewhat exhausted, that would be an even longer run and more exhausting for the rest of us, right?

Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.

Oh well, I think, Lieofin would not have slept, if someone is screaming, but that doesn't matter. The situation is a bit unrealistic anyway  

Btw, Capher, I finished the summary of the story till where some posts reappeared in the last part "In the quallian". I think, now all new ones are informed, what has happened. I will go on with the summary later - and write it a bit better. Terra, Teri, is all ok this far? The fight was a bit ..turbulent, I don't know, what happened when..

Not sleeping, exactly. More like meditating. The difference is focus versus lack thereof. Whereas meditation is a deep focus and sleep is a complete relaxation.

The review looks good to me.

A few point of clarification for the summery.

Terra and Hajarian arrived at/near the clearing while Talia was burned. Seeing Furchego use his power to burn Talia promted Terra and Hajarian to try and attack Furchego. Terra and possibly Hajarian where knocked from their horses in there initial attempt of attacking, and Terra began sucoming to her old wounds and decided it was better to safeguard Talia and the Heart instead of attacking directly.

Melor got into a tangle with Coore (Not Coór), and not Terra, at this time Terra was busy chacing the young elf into the forest trying to recover the Heart. Terra did catch the young elf after he passed off the Heart while he was watching the fight, and brought him before Hajarian just before Furchego transformed and Leiofin came driving off the demon.

I thought I would offer these up.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Oh boy did I mess things up?  I can always edit my post if you wish to have Ta'las and Teri have a play in it?

whatever you tell me to do I will do it.  I will not post until the decision is made.

Capher.

No need to worry, Capher,

We snoozed and we lost.  I thought your post was great!  I say let's keep it going.    

Ta'las

Ok, then we continue.

Capher.

Morcaanan, read this:

I'm putting all of what happens here before 'Teri has ever been to the Thirsty Herald. Just so you know what past meetings these two have had you might could go off of. Namely, none.

Oh, and Capher or Morcaanan, or both, puppet 'Teri a little right here, moving to help as soon as Morcaanan starts to stand up.

-------------------
Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.
I have so sworn...

I was going to say the same to you, glad we agree.

Terra will not be joining in on the meet and greet till morning. I was thinking though that she does not wake when everyone is ready to go and Capher has to gently but forcefuly rouse her from her sleep. Teri or Leiofin could likely safely wake her as well, but if Ta'las or Morc tried they would likely end up injured, and I would especially hate to see Morc hurt more than he is.

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

*cocks an eyebrow* Are you implying I couldn't take you in a fight?

*frowns* Seems the action is centered on me for the moment...better reply to Ta'las I guess.

---

Just spotted your signature, Morcaanan. That's a pretty good one. We halflings are full of all kinds of interesting wisdom, aren't we? Like, "If it has teeth, chances are it bites," and "Once I tried that on an urban tree, and now look what it's done to my back!" Seems we're always learning something interesting. Why, just not too long ago, I learned that a fore was roughly the length of a fore-arm, but for some reason everything I try to measure ends up being way too big. Guessing it might have something to do with the way things grow around us hobbits. Plants always like to grow really well for a halflings in general, although there are some exceptions like myself. I, for some reason, can't get anything to grow, although I did learn that most tubers can be fried into just about anything. Ever tried it? Just pluck one at random, it has to be edible, if it isn't edible, it'll probably kill you, and then you wouldn't be here to enjoy the party would you? Not like we're having much of a party....

----------------
...only guess that you're still listening. But let me tell you a little about myself...

I am not saying you could not take her in a stand up fight. Lets just say that in her condition if she is woken forcefully with a face she does not know over her, she is not going to take any chances that they don't mean her harm. IE, expect a fist in the face, or some other less than desierable outcome.

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Hmm...Morcaanan and Teri is there something you wish to tell us about...like what happened at the Hearalds Inn?  LOL
Inquiring minds would like to know.

Capher.

Actually, you should, by all means. After all, you did state fitful sleep, didn't you? I don't see anybody else's posts fitting in that context.

Well, I replied, but it took me four tries...and I'm still not satisfied with it.

Nah, I think we can go from here, do a little tea-party-style posting, back and forth. Nobody else is really going to move, I think.

Ah, thanks Talia for the information.  I just thought any elf could heal.  Guess I learn something new everyday.

Sorry Teri, I did not mean to pry.  I was trying to be funny, but it did not turn out that way, sorry again to you to Morcaanan.

I guess I am having a bad day all around.  I wonder if my fish will die next?  

Capher.

Nothing to apologize for Capher.

I took a couple liberties with my last post, just to stay "in-sync" with the rest of the group. Correct me if I dropped the ball.

---

Well, I think it a bit unwise for you (and unlikely), that you get up with your injured leg which needs dearly rest to recover. You as a fighter should know about this.

Coore won't be very open to your friendliness , I think, and you  aren't amazed about the aj? I doubt , that you have seen one before, if you haven't travelled the Ráhaz-Dáth.

Well, I don't mind, I edit my post and write, that you got up.

Terra, do we have to wake you up?

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Talia I think Capher should wake her up. Just my opinon.

Morcaanan, Talia is right about everything she said.  I think you should revise your post and not the other way around.  Again my opinon.

Capher.

I forgot about the Aj-nuvic...

Hmm, as for a wolf bite, that is not as truely as severe as you might think - unless the wolf actually tore at the flesh, and I didn't think it would have the time.

Sure, I'll edit, it's not a problem.

---

Talia is right about Coore, even though he can tell you are injured already, you are still a complete stranger to him and would not be that welcoming.

As for the waking up part, as she did pass out she would exactly wake easily if on her own, so I would preffer to have her awakened as she would likely sleep to late morning on her own.

Hi all!

I will be away until Saturday on vacation.  Capher, would you mind puppeting Ta'las again?

Ta'las

Ok, Talia,

Ta'las no problem.  Have fun!

Capher.

Sorry for being gone so long!

Actually, Capher, I knew you were making a joke, which I honestly though was mildly amusing, but I didn't see any way to reply to it without being extremely awkward, highly impoetic, or a little cold, so I went with the lesser evil. ... I think it's a lesser evil, anyway.

Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.
I have so sworn...

Capher, I hope you're not going to be upset at me, but I edited your last post to be all in the present tense. I do not pretend to assume mastery over the English language, nor am I trying to indicate that I'm in any way superior to you. To be perfectly honest, I feel the opposite.

If you will, could you take the time to read it over and note the differences between what you originally typed and what I changed it to? Changing it from one to the other is a very simple process, but it does give the narrative an almost entirely different feel. I apologize if I did anything wrong.

Hi people, probably no way to make a decent post for me, though I have a limited internet access- till monday night!

No Teri I do not mind.  I guess I am not sure what present tense means.  I thought I was writing in the present tense, but in the third person.  Are we not supposed to write in the third person?  Or is it when I think and use italics that you are referring to.  Then I will use a different tense, as I am thinking of the past, present and future.

@Terra are you going to wake up yourself, or do you want Capher to wake you up.  You are the only one we are waiting for.  I am sure Talia would want us to be on the move.

@Talia- Yes Capher found the flute and has it stowed away in one of his many pockets in his cloak.  It was one of the objects that helped him recover his memory.

Capher.

I would preffer she be awoken up, but if this is going to be a problem I can have her wake up on her own.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

On second thought I will have Terra wake up, however I will have this happen after Teri's response as I do not want to barge in, and simply posting that Terra wakes will not really be much of a post. I more or less have the post planned, just at this point I need things to progress that little bit more.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Hello, I'm back! -

So I won't do a post with Lieofin now, ok?

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I don't see a huge pressure for Leiofin right now so that is fine. I may yet post for Terra if I have enough time.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

I was just about to wake you up Terra, are you sure you want to wake yourself up?

Capher.

Well, if you get to it before I see the conditions I am looking for you can wake her up, just basicly which ever is quickest. Terra was going to want to talk to you as soon as she woke up, but I did not want to interupt Caphers conversation with Teri. I wanted to see where it would lead if it was not interupted.

---

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Oh, ok I understand.  If the conversation is not concluded by today then wake yourself up, otherwise I will wake you up.  If the conversation is concluded then I will wake you up. Ok?

Capher.

Erm, nevermind. This just got rendered obsolete.

I hope you didn't touch the flute with bare hands!

Well, a dragon might not be affected !

Quote:

One thing has to be mentioned here: The flute Talia wants to buy a flute in a shop, but decides against a special one the shopkeeper offers her. Later she finds it in her pocket. The flute is a magical item which has to be covered well, otherwise it affects the mind of the person who touches it. It hums, when friends are in need, the louder the bigger the danger is. When taking it in your (bare) hands, you have a vision of where your friends are and what endangers them. But using it too long can drive you insane - or give other, maybe evil forces access to what you think as well.When covered with a cloth, its abilities are just weaker, but not entirely gone.

It was just one of the items that helped Capher regain his memory.  And I think I posted that it did show me visons of you Talia.

I edited my post to Terra telling her about the hum, the flute and how it drew both of them to it, to help Talia.

People. let's go on! I'm getting older with every day!

Morcanaan, you are away for some time next week or so?

Morcaanan, I hope you enjoy your time away.  It's too bad we weren't able to RP more before you had to leave!

Talia, I've assumed that Lieofin is leading the group now - he knows the area and as he said, it's time to move.  

Ta'las

Hey, dragonmaster, a bit more information would be cool. From the devboard I know you are away for two months or so, but not all have access to the members moot. How do you think we should handel your absence - do you want to come back? As I see it now, we have to leave you back in the Quallian when moving on..

I'll do a post later this day and bring us to the Quallian..

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Talia, I am not sure what you mean about the Quallian and leaving me.  I am riding Desert Rose along with Ta'las.  I assume since Talia's AJ made it through, so could Desert Rose, or am I wrong?

As far as the Dev board is concerned; I am not too sure what you mean about that as well.  If you could explain yourself better.

And what information are you looking for?

Morcaanan is disappearing?  For how long?  Is someone going to puppet him?

Capher.

Yes, I'd like to stay in Thalambath's heart - what do you think is the best option?

I have tidings of ill. I won't be able to get on the 'net for some time, a few months, probably. I'm working on getting a new computer, which will greatly ease a lot of strain. However, the one I usually use is dead, so...


Anyway, wish me luck!

Right! Capher, go to  Morcanaans teampage, and you will see, that he is in charge of dragons - and therefore he has the plaque "Dragonmaster" (I think I proposed it

Well, Morcanaan, your leg gets worse, so you have to stay in Aer'ylferian. Maybe the elves send you after us with a message, from Siroled f.e., she could have had another vision (these visions come in soo handy! lol)

Well, let us see first, how far we are in the beginning of November..

If I don't manage to get us to the quallian tonight, then because Helen-Elise had a wasp sting this evening in her foot, which hurts badly.... . she is not in bed, despite it's already 10:30 pm here..

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Awe no Teri, that is sad news.  However the good news is that you will eventually get a better computer.  But in the meantime we are going to miss you.

How are we going to puppet you out, until you can come back?  Talia do you have any ideas?

Oh, Morcaanan?  You are the DragonMaster?  Does that mean that you can control me? LOL  Ah, I understand.  So you have taken up the Dragons.  Have you come up with a language yet?  Bard and I, a long long long time ago was working on a concept.  I am not sure how it worked out.  At that time I was going through some very difficult personal problems, which shall remain nameless.  Anyway you might want to have a talk with her and find out what happened?

If Teri has to disappear, maybe Morcaanan can take her place somehow?  I am not sure how, though?  It would be hard to take Teri's place.

And yes, lets get to the Quallian.

And I hope your daughter is feeling better today, Talia.  I am allergic to bee stings or wasp stings.  I would be in the hospital right now.  Tell her I will think of her in my prayers.

Capher.

A language? Hmm...I have touched on that very briefly with the Sunset Dragon, but no, I have no general concept down yet; but it's an idea to work on when I get back.

I am going to be gone for two months, and it would seem Teri is too.
Why don't we say that Teri and I remained in the Quallian together, and when I get back, we'll see if she has shown up again, and maybe we can leave the Quallian together to find the rest of you. How does that sound?

---

Good!  
(For I proposed at least that you could stay there with your leg worsening...)
Teri, I just didn't see your post yesterday... I'm so sorry, that you have to be abstinent... but I'm sure you will be full energy when you are back - hopefully when Morcanaan comes back as well! I will miss you and Kenriil with whom Talia would love to meet!

Are you able to read your mail now and then?

PS: I just wondered, what Teri's reason might be to stay back....Morcanaan?  

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I think it would be appropriate for someone to stay back with Morcaanan, given that he is a stranger to the Quallian.  Given that 'Teri knows the customs, language, etc. of the place, and there is some obvious attraction, she would be an obvious choice.  'Teri, you know better than us, but based on your character, I think she would feel compelled to stay behind for compassionate reasons.

Ta'las

Good read Ta'las.  I think that would be a good way to explain away Teri's and Morcaanan's staying in the Quallian.

Capher.

I left open, who comes with Lieofin back to Aer'Ylferian. I don't think, that Teri would stay in Geaf, having traveled with Talia for a while. But she might watch Morcanaan, if she sees Talia well.

Btw, with Teri away, we have to see to get the sword  and heart from her other char, Garrek.

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I did not know that Terri played Garrek as well?

Should someone puppet Garrek?  Or should we have him pass it off to someone who wants to play, another player perhaps.  Or one who we are already going to play with and can make up another character?

Any ideas?

Capher.

Just curious when Raspberry will join the story.  

Soon, Rasperry, if you still are interested to play with me. I'm just about to push it forward a bit.

Hey Capher, don‘t you read my posts, or are they so unclear or my hints to what happens so misunderstanding? Please don‘t mind, if I point you to some things you missed!

In the “in the Quallian“ post Siroled promises Ylffiri more or less, to bring Talia to her Aj. (more or less, last sentence)

Then my last post before yours:

See what Talia does - she hesitates for a moment on her way down - but then carries on - that were your thoughts directed at her when you were in Geaf. Then she stops entirely and sits down - that is the Aj caressing her face, as described a few sentences later.

She is now on ground level - you are led into a room on ground level.

The flute is, as I explain, something dangerous which should better not be touched with bare hands. Though it can show you where your friends are and if they are in danger, it opens your mind as well to evil forces - as probably happened when Talia took it in Shatis presence. (this part is lost).So better not put it on Talias chest! The firedemon may give grab her immediately.


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Maybe I wrote my last posts  clear enough to give you a picture, where my soul might be. I didn‘t check with Rayne, if this is possible, but I imagined, that my soul has gone to a place the humans call Netherworld. Somehow the vanishing demon lord drew me with him, when he returned to his realm.

My proposals how to bring me back are following - if you have other ideas, please post.

As I wrote, my consciousness, my essence, myself is somehow lost. Maybe it is hidden deep inside me, like with a person who is in a coma. The aj, the dunemouse and Ta‘las voice can help me to come back, but they will not succeed, if I‘m not at least partly my former „me“. That could be your task, Capher. You don‘t know, where I are, so you might use the flute shortly, which will show you, where you have to direct your thoughts to find me. If you know where I are, you can try to bring me back, call me, or what ever you can do. As soon as this is done, the others have to persuade me to come back, for I‘m still tired and without will to come back.

Ta‘las, just talk to me, touch me, set the dunemouse on my chest and allow Swing to touch me as well, and you will see, what happens.

Garrek and the sword and heart: I have an idea, but I‘m not sure, if it is a good one.

That involves another player, who would like to join us - Coren with his char Aurelian. Though I admire the way, Coren plays Aurelian, I don‘t know, why such a man should want to join our desperate group, not why we should want him.

Garrek could be tired of having the heart and the sword and offer it Aurelian for sale - for he has obviously enough cash to pay a exorbitant  price. Or Aurelian sees the heart by chance and persuades Garrek to buy it.

OK, Aurelian has the heart, and Siroled has a vision which tells us, for which person we have to watch out to get it back.But where?

My plans where so far, that not all my lifeliness comes back art once, but the elves tell us
a) that my lifeforce needs to be restored, and that only the vale brownies can do that (I hope this is correct)
b), that we have to search for Kurriks anvil, and that the only dwarf that could that know is living .... the brownies have trading contacts (have written down this earlier already, will do it again - and there we meet this brownie char and Eden, maybe Gar‘s dwarf.)

But where should we meet Aurelian? I would love to go to Santhala at one point, but it is not directly on our way....

Ta'las, I know, I'm nitpicking today, but I think you can't know, that I'm lost - you seee only my body, but Capher might see, what happened.

Your choice of words however are splendid

True Talia.  Ta'las has no magical ability whatsoever, so he would not know that Talia is lost.  I was initially thinking that perhaps his mother-sister, the aid of Baveras who sent him on this journey, might have given him some insight into Talia's condition, but it is doubtful that even she would be powerful enough to divine someone's condition from such a distance.  I will edit my last post.

I've looked over Aurelian's CD.  He's a neat character, though I agree that without Thalambath's Heart he would offer little to the group.  Also, isn't he currently in Chylikis, which would mean we would have to backtrack on ourselves?   Maybe, the Duchess Sera Rose became tired of his antics and sent him away, and he's managed to work his way north to the Quallian.  Perhaps Aurelian travelled to Aer'Ylferian some time before our arrival to drink elven wine, charm elven women, and continue his hedonistic lifestyle under the guise of developing diplomatic ties with the elves.  It's possible that during his stay he acquired the gem from Garrek.  (BTW, I suspect Ta'las would not be taken in by what he would see as an individual with very shallow charm of little substance.  Good story fodder.)

I think the plan to first go to the vale of brownies and then on to find Kurrik's Anvil works best.  This is what was planned some time ago, and I agree we stay the course.

Edited by: Talas Anthavin at: 9/10/05 3:09

As I know, a char can well play in two stories at the same time, if he wishes so - even if that means he is at two places at the same time. Nothing for me, but it is allowed.
And yes, he could be passed on by anybody to the Quallian elves. I wrote back, that the Leias is not here and that the council waits for her return - she could bring him with her.

Capher, I have been meaning ask you. How is Voldar doing for players? Could you possibly handle one more? If not no worries. I was thinking with Bardavos quite likely inactive for a good portion of time rearranging my plans and have Arisa visit Voldar first and start building a Rep for herself, as well as her fortune.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Yes, staying behind with Morcaanan is an excellent choice.

As for Garrek, I seriously doubt he'd sell it off, especially since he senses that it might prove some amusement for him. I'll try to make some posts with him, but here's an idea: The heart will follow the group anyway, with Garrek. He's not going to let them out of his sight, especially now since he knows who he's dealing with. Thinks he knows, anyway. As for the sword, Garrek doesn't like to get his hands dirty, and has no idea that the sword has some other use than hacking and slashing. Have any warrior-types still with the party? They could get into a dispute with one of Garrek's legionous lackeys, who happens to be clumsily using the sword. Just an idea. I'll make a nice long post for Garrek now.


I can still borrow a computer every once in a while. I'm looking for November-December before I'm back online. I only get paid once a month. That's pending nothing unexpected happens.

Talia you were correct.  I mis-read your last post.  I will edit mine.

Terra, Voldar can always use more players.  Right now there is a very deep plot going on and I am trying to include all new players into the plot as best as I can.  I have not told the plot outright to them.  I have let the characters find it out for themselves, by giving clues and hints in my many and varied characters and posts.  It has become I think quite exciting.  If you do not wish to read all of the posts and get the feel of the plot line, then ask and I will tell you.  You can either PM me or email me. Ok?

@Talia, my last post.  I am in your mind.  If you do not wish me to follow this course of action then I will delete the post and try and do something else.  My idea would be that with Ta;las's, Swing, and your dunemouse, and Capher, that we tear down the wall seperating your essence from your body and us.  After I tear down the wall, I go and search for you.  I find you and after some conversation.  I help bring back you to yourself.

At least that was what I was thinking.  If you have other ideas or any of you please express them.  I apologize if I seem to be taking over again.  It just seems to be in my nature, I guess. LOL  If you do not like this scenario, then Talia tell me and I will immediately stop it.

Capher.

Edited by: Capher at: 9/10/05 18:30

Capher, there is no wall you can tear down, there is more a hole or a thin spot in the "fabric" which divides the two planes of existence (with Raynes picture) or the possiblity to go from one plane to the next is here very good, the probability to be able change from one one world to the next. However, either nature tends to fix such a hole - or the weavers do it - it will close after some time. If this would happen soon, Talia would be lost, and even you as a mighty shapeshifting dragon might not be able to penetrate this "fabric". This is the concept for the place the humans call "Netherworld" Rayne and I were planning. So you are the only one, who can enter through this still thinner part and shake my soul, so that I start to remember, who I am. The others are just tiny efforts to get me back, to persuade me, still quite without own will, that it is worth to take the effort and go back. You have to reach out, maybe even thin out again the fabric, so that the others can get better through.

There are some incomplete entries in the magic forum, mostly done by  Rayne, one about the waevers: let me quote a bitout of it.

Quote:

---

Mending the Fabric: The purpose of the Weavers, as dictated by popular Santharian, scholarly and elven myth is the mending of the fabric of the dream. Before Ava dreamt Caelereth into existence, she closed her eyes and the fabric began to form. From this fabric all of Caelereth was created. On the other side of this fabric exists the Netherworld—a sort of nightmare of Ava, or else some distorted reflection created by her other self, Coor. The Netherworld is a place of darkness and shadow, where creatures powerful and dangerous reside.

The fabric that separates the two dimensions remained pretty much complete until the War of the Chosen, when powerful mages summoned creatures from the Netherworld. This not only weakened the fabric, but also brought the Netherbeasts the knowledge that there was another world, a rather pleasing one, just beyond this fabric. Since this time, monstrous and powerful Netherbeasts have been constantly trying to break through to the other side.

After the war of the chosen, the myth says that Ava asks the Weavers to mend the fabric. This they did, and still do. They have mended the holes that once existed from the War of the Chosen, but the beasts trying to break through along with summoners attempting to summon one of these beasts has caused new weak places in the fabric. The fabric is a dynamic surface that is constantly changing by beasts trying to break free, summoners trying to summon powerful creatures, and the weavers who are constantly repairing the destruction. For this reason, weak points in the fabric rarely remain there for very long, but are mended, so summoners must search for new weak points from which to summon.

---

My proposal for a revision of the netherworld concept is here:
p223.ezboard.com/fsanthar...1045.topic


So it would be nice to take this into account. If you do this thinning out of the „fabric“ - the danger of demons entering Caelereth is of course more probably then....

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

About Garrek: If the party moves, he follows, thus assuring the presence of the Heart. Of course, eventually it will have to fall into the right hands, but I kinda think that can wait a little while.

I'm using a Jhehellr'him elf on purpose. Several reasons, actually. They are naturally aggressive. They are, to some extent hated/despised by the Ylferrhim and Quaelhoirhim, particularly because they are a related tribe. And, he's bound to make a good fighter.

When I do manage to get back on a regular basis, I plan on working out a hand-off of the Heart.

As for meeting Kenriil, that could happen anywhere. You never know where the little fellow might end up.

-------------------
Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.
I have so sworn...

Just wanted to mention that only the Redbarks among the brownies can cast lifemagic. They are in every tribe, except rat brownies. Maybe several Redbarks working together could restore Talia's lifeforce? You could use however many you needed, as there is not a limit to the number of Redbarks that can work together.

Also, Raspberry is a Greenbark and could not help in the casting of lifemagic, though I'm sure you already know that. He also could not lead the party to the Vale of Brownies, as he has never been there before. He is a Aohu'o brownie from the continent of Akdor, and has no knowledge of Southern Sarvonia. I would like to play as Raspberry, but I'm not sure if he can be the guide you need.

I was aware of that, but the probability to meet you there is higher than somewhere else outside a brownie area - and if we are going to be there anyway...

Talia, is that how you want it played?  With the brownies giving back you your lifeforce and not the way Capher is doing it?

If it is, then I will just post that as many tears as I, Ta'las's voice, the dune mouse and Swing make the black hole just repairs itself and after awhile Capher realizes that only the life magic of the brownies can help Talia and that is what he tells the group.  Though, I can not imagine any magic stronger than what Capher possesses, But brownie magic may not be stronger, just different and the only type that Talia needs.  Capher would recognize that.

As you can see I am thinking outloud, everyone.  Anyone who wishes to join in the discussion is more than welcome, especially you Talia, as it seems every post I make, I am disturbing whatever plans you have already made.  Which I am sorry for.  Please help this feeble old man/dragon.

No Capher! You are the key to bring me back! Though Ta‘las is needed as well, without you he would not be able to help me. I copy from above:

As soon as this is done, the others have to persuade me to come back, for I‘m still tired and without will to come back.“

YOU are the only one who can go through the "fabric" like Rayne called it, maybe even make it thinner at this special point, maybe call it wall, if you want, though I never saw it as such. It is more a gate which is still open to a small degree and you need to push it open, and only you can do it, so that Ta‘las can reach through it, so that I can hear his voice. So far I‘m not able to hear him, for I don‘t know who I am, so why should shendar tales bother me? Maybe you have even to guard this „door“, so that no other evil presences come through.

Still somehow unconscious, but on a less deeper level (now, that i found my identity again) Ta‘las voice will help me to gain consciousness .

BUT - and there the brownie life magic comes into the game (and I looked only for a reason to go to the vale of brownies), my soul has still heavy scars, I‘m sad and always tired, not the Talia you know, and this illness they might be able to cure.

Ah, Ok, I understand a bit more.  I will continue tearing at the fabric then. In my last post I made a doorway.  If you read my post Talia is that what you were thinking?  

Finally you hear Ta'las's voice, you come to it, I find you and then we close the wall so the demons cannot get out. But because of that wall that is why you need the brownies life force.  So the wall can be destroyed and so will the opening from Coor's world to ours, at least through Talia's mind.  

Though I know that Coor's world is not like what we here in RL call "Hell"  It is somewhat like that, right?  Or am I wrong?  And should I have stated in my post, I think I saw "Netherworld" someplace, instead?  Anyway, we notice that even though you are out of your "Coma" like state, you are not yourself.

After that then that is when it will be said either by myself or maybe Kurrun or Siroled that only the brownie's life magic can help. After of course I tell Siroled, Kurrun and all of the rest of you the reason for our quest and what our quest is.  That could be another reason for Raspberry to join us?

As only a brownie would know where to find a dwarf willing to help.  Just a thought.

I‘m so sorry, Capher, but you misunderstood me again. You can‘t close the hole in the fabric, if you are not as strong with magic as a weaver. Are you?  It is the „Netherworld“ where I am, „Coors realm,“, if you want so. But opening a door into this other reality should not have the effect, that hordes of demons are coming wanting to get through - otherwise no mage could summon a demon without a horde following the first, if we want to stay true to the Santharian universe. I shouldn‘t have mentioned it, I thought there might perhaps be one in the last stage before Talia is really passing that thin part of the border between the realms , complicating her return and you fight it of.
I hoped you would call me somehow - so far you have nothing done, to get me my identity back. Ta‘las voice isn‘t of interest for me as long as this has not happened.

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Talia, I was always under the impression that dragon magic was the strongest of all magics, since the Dragons have been on Caelereth since the Tree of Life.  But as I look at the "Magic Section" on the dev side.  I see that there is no mention of "Draconian Magic" There used to be, but I guess with the new scheme of things, it was taken out or thought of as being not needed.  

Capher, being the only shape-shifting dragon alive, since his family died during the "Year of Darkness" can trace his families roots back to one of the three Adamant Dragons, who were the most powerful beings upon Caelereth, with the exception of the "Air elves?" I forget their real name.  It was because of his bloodline and his wanting to atone for his part in the burning of Voldar, that he decided to live his life as a human and try to understand them and help them all that he could.

That is when Seyella came to him and told him about the first  "Wizard of the White Tower." Ethan Hawke.  Since then he has been helping Ethan's son, Talon Hawke, the current Wizard of the White Tower to help protect Caelereth from any evil that the humans can not battle themselves.

And I was also under the impression that there were no wizards, magics, magicians, whatever/whoever who were as strong as the ones during the "War of the Chosen."  because those wizards, and there were only a few, had or were given God-like powers from whatever God chose them.  Eckra was chosen by Foiros, so he would be a "Fire mage" if I can use that term, of such skill and power, that all fire mages now days, would not even have a clue of the power he possessed.  

But, I guess I am wrong, I guess the Weavers magic is the strongest now.  Tarq, I believe, is/was his name.  He made the Weavers?  Or was it someone else?  Anway it does not matter.  I will play my character as you wish, Talia.

It is no one's fault except my own.  If I had stayed around I would have made sure that the Draconian Magic would have stayed..  Maybe I should ask the Dragon Lord to help out poor old Capher when and if he returns.

Capher.

Sorry, Capher, but it is my fault as well. All what I said about the weavers is based on Rayne's new concept (which she discussed with Art during Santhmoot), which is discussed, but not yet up the site, for she is busy with school now.
You can find it here

If you read about theie origin there, you will find, that they are linked to Avá herself. I don't know, how Rayne will manage to implement the old entries as well.

I don't doubt, that you are the mightiest person in the Caelereth of today, what I wanted to say is just, that I don't know, if dragons have this kind of power to play around with holes between dimensions.

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Your probably correct Talia.  I do not think that dragons could fool around with doorways to different dimensions.  However, Capher does know that Talon comes from different dimension.  Is not the Isle of Mythe in a different dimension?
That is where Talon came from, following his father's mission.  Of course that is only according to my still yet to be finished novel, 'Wizard of the White Tower."  but I play Capher and Talon as if they were characters right out of my novel, if I ever finish it, that is.

Also Talia, my MS has decided to become worse and I forget a lot of things.  It is affecting the cognitive part of my brain, now and it is very infurirating, as i can not spell, remember, or anything when it comes to cognitive reasoning.  I find playing these RP's here in Caelereth, helps.

I think the concept of the Weavers that Rayne has is interesting.  I will need to read more about it...later.  I am tired now.  See you all tomorrow.

Oh Blast I forgot. I did edit my last post Talia.  So Ta'las and the others maybe you should check your posts afterward to make sure their are no contradictions.

Capher.

Edited by: Capher at: 9/13/05 19:16

Capher, I hope your MS does not get worse enough to take you from RPing. You are so good at it, and I for one look up to you in this area.

On another note, I just wanted to state that the elves, and possibly would likely be able to sense Terra's minor magical ability, though I doubt it would be strong enough for them to sense what element. This is just for referance as I have worked on her magic section some with a little guidence from Arti. Feel free to referance the changes Here.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

That would be horrible! But I hope even more, that you can finish your story! Though I love RPing with you, I think I would prefer to have your story completed! Are you working on it? Every day?

I know MS comes in episodes (?), I hope your illness worsening stops again - and maybe it gets better again  

Hmm, I think I'm not in my head - so this "gate" or the "wall"  is not necessarily in my head, but just "somewhere", maybe at the point where the demon vanished? But you can reach me of corse by concentrating on my brain.

Terra, I didn't know, you had magical abilities! However, I don't have an idea now, how it could help you in yur present situation. The elves could see it, but otherwise?


Edit: Capher, I could even imagine, that part of you "materialises" in Talias grey world - so that she can see you there.

Edited by: Talia Sturmwind  at: 9/13/05 21:56

Its always been in the CD Talia, its only very recently that I brought it in line with Santharian magic. The whole folding of space thing was just FAR to complicated to try and explain to people, so using the Telekenesis spell is much simpler to explain her ability. Its not something she can really control at will though, she may learn to control it when she is much older, but not likely going to happen while I RP her actively.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Talia, yes MS, at least the RR or relapsing/remitting kind does do what you said, and I had that, but since I have had it for so long it is becoming progressive.  As far as my story is concerned.  I sent in a chapter almost before I left, but he turned it down as my description of the Losh-Oc commander and their race did not fit in with the way they were described on site. So, since then I have not worked on the story.  Now things have changed so much, on the dev side and Caelereth has changed, and I have reread my story and I can see where I made some huge mistakes and need to do rewrites. Those rewrites are what I am working on.  But it is slow progress.  I am even amazed that anyone would still want to read it, since it has not been written for so long.

Thanks for your concern Talia and Terra.

Capher.

Well, I would like to see it finished!

As do I, Capher!      

Ta'las

Ta'las you have read my story?  Well since I have so many fans, that I did not know I had, I guess I will give it a try.  I will finish the story and then rewrite it, as I know it needs to be.

I just hope Art has the time to help me, like he did before.  I made alot of grammatical and spelling errors that Art was gracious enough to point out and correct before he put the finished chapter upon the site.


Talia, I am calling to you.  Do you want me to find you?  I thought I could not enter another dimension?

Capher.

Oh, I think you can, for even smaller demons can, if they are called , so you are surely be able to do it withoout calling. However, you don't have to go there in persona, a kind of projection, part of your mind would be enough - just the way Talia is there.

Capher, if there is any way I can help you with your story - I'm no Judy to find all grammer errors and such, but I can do a spellcheck - or better, check if the Santharian related things are ok and point you to possible errors. You have my e-mail .
I promise I start rereading it again in October - when the turmoil here at home is over.

Ta'las

*wipes a tear from his eye*  Thank you my friends.  I guess I will continue my story as long as I have such support.  I can have Talia as a fact checker and Ta'las as a grammar checker.  Hopefully then I can finish what I started, once and for all.

Capher.

Capher, I hope it is alright, acting for your char a bit - I think you would have reacted like this. I wanted to push the whole thing a bit forward...

You write, you are fading - I think, if I'm once on the way up, Ta'las voice can bring me back..

Capher.

You could write her a mail, possible with a pic of a hen or a penguin attached  , for she has a brand new email address and is happy about every single mail she gets, and she knows you from what I tell my family about Santharia: merle(at)feen-wald(dot)com

Talia, I sent her an E-card.  I hope she recieved it and it was not put into a spam file or something.  The Card came from a place called "We got cards.com"  I could not find a picture of a hen or a penquin, but I did find a picture of a very pretty parrot.  I hope both you and her think the picture and what I wrote was appropriate.


I am curious how the other players are handling this long time for Talia to finally come out of her coma.  I am sure they want to play soon.  Unless they all have other obligations and welcome the respite.

Capher.

Edited by: Capher at: 9/22/05 16:33

Well, I would like to get Terra up and playing agian, or likely just playing again. I think Terra is going to take her time and rest up before running off to do anything too effort intensive.

'I am grey. All but those like me see only darkness and light, they do not see the grey between them. In this greyness I dwell. I would not wish this fate on any other.'

Oh well, one more post and I'm out! Realistically I will need a few weeks (three or so) to recover, and Terra should cure out her head as well. So after a nice "reunion" I would say, I (or one of you?) write a post saying , that three weeks have past and then we are summoned to the elven circle, the Leias will be then here as well and we get our instructions or information , so that we know what we have to do and can leave the Quallian. Though I'm started already on that elven circle session, I won't be able to finish it before, say Monday, for RL things are pressing in now (My parents in law coming today to celebrate Helen-Elises birthday, tht means tidying up and the farewell of Christoph who leaves on Sunday for Japan for a whole year and hasn't packed a single piece yet - so if I'm away... you know where I am struggling..)

Capher, thanks for the mail! She did like the parrot very well and she will answer you, though that will take some time and be very short , her vocabulary is still very restricted of course. She fights still with he's and his, you're and your, apart from that learning foreign words for the first time is difficult, expecially if it is not just cat and dog or to look , but this, that, you, yours,theirs at , if,  from, how and of... she had only about six lessons yet.

Oh, wow Talia! Sound like you have a full plate on your hands.

Tell Helen-Elise, even if she just says thanks, I will treasure it. I forgot that she has a hard time reading and writing English.  If she wrote to me in German, The only words I know are Sprechen Si Deutsch; which I think means, "Do you speak German?"  The only thing I learned in my High School German class.LOL  I was terrible at foreign languages, I was even terrible at my own language. LOL

 I am glad she appreciated the Parrot.  Closest thing to a chicken I could find. LOL

I won't be around until Monday either. I have some housework to do and will be going to the hospital, only for the day, to receive some treatments for my M.S.  So everyone have a great weekend and we start fresh on Monday.

Terra and the rest we will be on the road again soon...I promise.

Capher.

Good news all across the board, folks. I finally got my computer! I swear, Talia was right. The withdrawal symptoms are finally starting to ease up a bit, but they won't be gone until I can have not only my computer with me wherever, but also the 'net.

It's an Averatec C3500 Tablet PC... Which is pretty much a laptop with tablet capabilities. Real fun. Now if only I knew how to draw...


But anyway, happy birthday to your little one. I'll probably be on... later today, I guess it'll be, as I'm up late at a friends' house typing this out. After I get up Saturday, I'll see about plugging my lappy into my father's internet dial-up phone line, and surfing. At least getting Opera on it. Then... I'll still be really if-y for several weeks, but I'll keep trying.

Silence! You could give your excuses until Injèrá hides her head from all Santharia, but it will never preserve your life.

Yeah, Teri is back. If only for a short while.  I hope you become a more permanent fixture as soon as you can.


@Talia, so come on give what did Helen-Elise get for her birthday?  Inquiring minds want to know, well at least I do.  

Capher.

Great Teri! Just join us in Aer'Ylferian, Morcanaan is surely in good hands and don't have to have a guard...

Would Capher sense that the heart is so near?

I think, we should have a small talk, as soon as Talia is awake - and Terra as well, maybe Teri is then here again and then jump to a date three weeks in the future, is that ok?

@Capher: Presents? lol, Well, a voucher about a DVD from the newest penguin film which comes to our cinemas soon, a book about painting which she wanted to have, a book for kids about knitting which she didn't want to have, then a "Kugelbahn" (dic doesn't translate it): You can construct with wooden pieces (which have partly holes in it) a kind of building , throw a little ball out of glass in the top part and it rolls down all the way.... or jumps out..
Her other favourite is a device to catch little insects and another where she can put things in it (insects, leaves) and look at them through a magnifying glass (which is actually scrap). Some manga pics and a poster from Johanna, a cake from Christoph. Well, yes, that was it mostly.. yes, a voucher for a dress for her doll... which I didn't manage to do in time..

Aside from the fact that it clicking on the pictures doesn't expand them, yeah, pretty much the same thing, only the marble slides my grandmother, who was a speech therapist at the school I went to first grade at, had was plastic, and therefore brighter colors, and all the pieces interlocked. Closer to the one there that says 1096 by it.

Reading German like that is fun to me, for some reason, even though it makes so little sense. I much prefer Germadic over Latinic languages.

Why do you ask?

Talia, Capher would sense the Heart if he was not so much concentrated upon you.  So Garrek do not get too close or Capher will sense that you have the heart and will go searching for it, though Capher will search, and sense it as long as Garrek kept on moving it would be difficult for Capher to find it directly.  In fact it probably would be frustrating to him, knowing that he can sense the Hearts presence, but not being able to find it as it goes in and out of his sphere of influence as Garrek moves close and then farther away.

Capher.

Talia you want us all to have a little Talk when you wake up right? I am assuming that Talia will sleep for some hours given her condition as will Terra given her agrovated injury, so a small fast forward may be coming into play. I'll be waiting for your cue.

Ok, Terra, I think the day after would be fine. How Capher and Ta'las will join though, now that they are elsewhere .. don't know what will happen here..

Capher, it is actually Garrek who offered to lead you to a room, and I'm not sure, that what you have written is that what he had in mind... Ta'las would not know, where a bed for you two is available.And I called your name while you are still standing at my bed, I think..

True, Ta'las would not know where they are going, but he also would prefer not to be far from Talia and Terra at the moment.  As well, Capher is obviously not able to travel too far, so Ta'las will insist on finding a place to rest very close to where the rest of the group is sleeping.

Of course I have nothing against you personally, but I'm afraid I've told you more than is safe...

But I do think that Ta'las would wake up before Capher, considering what he went through to help Talia recover.  If you like, I will have Ta'las check on Talia and Terra.  Perhaps the two of you could be up first and already in conversation?

Yes, I think that would be a good idea, Ta'las, for Talia might sleep longer than you as well. But if you are coming with a nice cup of cha'a, the smell may help to wake me up

Hey everybody. I see my brother wrote to you. It sounds like I was dying. Well, I guess to him, since he lives in Virginia, and has never seen me go through a serious flareup, as I call them, that it would seem like I was. But I am not and I am back home. But, I am still a bit weak, so I probably will not post until Tues, OK?

I thank you so much for your prayers and good thoughts toward me. You do not know how much that meant to me as I was laying there. I truely dislike hospitals. But, they have become my love/hate relationship. LOL

Anyway take care and I will be back on the roller coaster soon. Bye,

Well its good to hear that t was not as bad as your brother made it out to be. It would be a shame to loose the last shapechanging dragon in Caelereth. Just don't rush yourself on our account.

I couldn't find Garrek's notr teris Cd with a quick glance through the archiv - I hope they are not lost and Teri has them still somewhere! They were both excellently written chars!

Basically, Garrek is Teris evil brother, who killed his parents, if I recall right, and whose only purpose seems to be to nearly kill Teri - just nearly, to frighten her to death.

"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Pretty much. In my estimates, although the numbers I used will all have to change, now that I've actually used Mortus/Terra's awesome converter, 'Teri stands at roughly 5'7", while Garrek is slightly shorter, 5'5".

I put up a long description of Garrek a few pages back, when he first noticed the healing process. For now, it will have to be your reference.


Sadly, Talia, they were all lost. Everything. I have re-written my simplest one, Kaelan, and have put it up for re-approval, which he seems to have a hard time getting.

For the record, their father Sean was Eyelian/Quaelhoirhim.

And, Garrek is far more than just to terrorize 'Teri, actually that's more a part of 'Teri's character than Garrek's. Garrek is more of the evil underground overlord-type. Hence his seemingly limitless resources, and constant influx of antagonistic "NPC"s.

I saw it, I should have moved you down once I saw your repost, but now it is too late, and I don't want to confront the others. Look at the Mimi Cd, it was a repost from a copy!
Did you play with Garrek in other stories where you posted your char and where it might still be?

Ok, Teri and thanks.  I guess I will have to find that descrip and then post.

Capher.

Garrek wasn't in any other stories. That, and Kaelan was in two, both CDs lost.

Ta'las, your post seem to at first suggest that Capher helped Terra, where he actually helped Talia. Perhaps you should edit it so it is more clear.

Well, I really don't know Teri. I would love to have him back, but then he has to jump over his own shadow, and that might prove difficult, won't it, Koldar?

@Capher: What I forgot to mention yesterday, Koldar sends to you especially the best wishes hoping you will get soon as well as possible!

Sorry guys/gals, but I went home to early, I should have stayed in hospital.  I was taken by emergency last Wed night. I had what is called an MS Aspiration attack, in laymens terms: My lungs shut down on me.  I am back home again, but I am very very weak.  I am sorry for leaving this thread in such a lurch, but I will try and get better soon

Capher.

Thats all we ask Capher. There is no rush.

@ Terra, thanks for catching my mistake - post has been edited.

@ Talia, it would be neat to have Kolder return to the story.  I never got a chance to meet him, but I've read the entire story (at least what could be recovered), so I know a little bit about his character.

@ Capher, yes, please get yourself better!  

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  

Ta'las

I'm worried about Capher - he hasn't shown up for quite some time now

I think, this is the right time now to push us a bit forward. I will try to get it done before tomorrow (Carlos coming!!!). Just post as long as you like, I will start a new thread with us going to the High Elven Circle and getting our instructions/informations or what ever we need to be able to continue.

Garrek, I don't know, how we should go on with Capher not here, just post in this thread.
Teri, when is Morcanaan back, mid of November? For the high elven circle might want to ask you things as well, so your presence might be needed. If we should be quick enough to leave the Quallian before Mrcanaan is back, you can return to him afterwards -and join us the in the Vale of the brownies or whereever we are.

Btw, our brownie(Erian) can't play here, he said, he can't play him as he designed him. So another brownie char as guest char would be nice, if any of you know one. Luca has one, but it is a Milken one.

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I am worried too, Talia.      

I'm not sure how to handle Capher's absence, except perhaps the elven council can suggest that Capher must remain behind to away Teri and Morcaanan while we go on.   Not sure - it's not a very strong suggestion.

I'm not sure about any brownie characters.  The only one I know of is Erian's.  I agree that we should try to move on as much as we can.  We also have to work the dwarf character (Eden I think?) into the story.

Ta'las

The Garrek situation could probably just be forgotten, moved along as unnoticed, and thus no painful extrications needed. As for 'Teri's absence... Gah! Well, if that is the case, as likely it will be, yes, I'll just send her back to pick him up. I even have a handy excuse for his absenteeism and the time that has passed, although I'll have to ask him when the time is right.

I do hope all is well with Capher.

Hey all, I am still here and I thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  I thought I could recover quickly, but I got pnuemonia and was battling it.  It seems to be losing, yeah!

I know you all want to push forward so whatever you want to do with my character at this point and time I will agree with.  I am hoping really to be back on the boards more reguarly within the week, but it depends upon how I am doing.

I miss you guys/gals alot.  Maybe I can post quickly, if there is anything for me to post, if not, then continue with your plan, Talia.  I trust you.  Hopefullly I will be back in full swing....soon.

Take Care,

Capher.

Prrrrr, I can't do much, I have to fight my terrible cold, now that Carlos is here, it is so annoying, I dare not to come too close to him.

I've got the plan, what to do and how already in my head and try to get it done as soon as possible - and I will drag you along, Capher!

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

Sorry about your cold Talia, and thanks.  I am not to sure about my last post.  I may have revealed too much. What do you all think?  Anyway, if you do not like it or want to change it be my guest. In fact with Terra's question and Talia's questions as well about her own destiny and  about Sophronia I think I am going to edit my last post somewhat and get rid of all of that changing voice  It was too theatrical and not necessary.  Sorry you may all have to edit your own posts afterward as well, but I think it is the best, especially since I do not know how long I shall have to be gone.  Hopefully, the docs say, I should be able to be better in another few days or so.

I am going to be fighting for a bit longer.  If my nurse found out I was on now, she would probably kill me. LOL

But, I miss you guys/gals and It is so boring, just laying here with IV tubes in your arms being a pin cushion for whatever drugs they seem fit to put into your veins.  But I know that these drugs and therapy will help me in the long run.  So I endure.

Take Care my friends;

Capher.

Well Talia, Capher, I hope you are both feeling better real soon. Don't rush yourselves, I would rather hear that you are well.   Besides I have other stories I can prod along, and it has come to my attention that perhaps I am too impatiant waiting for posts, so waiting for posts may actually do me some good.

PS. Capher I was kinda interested by the whole Sophronia thing. Perhaps later when you feel better you can work it in again.

I tell you what - I'm not used any longer to boys about a year old - they are tiring!

I know what you mean, Talia!  Our little boy is 4, and he tires us out every day.     But he's a lot of fun.  

Capher and Talia - I hope you are both feeling better for the weekend.  BTW - I am really enjoying getting back into collaborative writing.  You are a great group of people to write with!  Thanks for letting me join TH!!!    

Ta'las

I am back, but only on a limited basis. No long posts. Just enough to keep the story going. My pneumonia has cleared up and I can thankfully breathe without hurting. I have no more IV tubes and I am well on the way to full recovery. However as anyone who knows MS, you never fully recover the nasty little disease takes a part of you each time. But I thank God for each moment he gives me and I continue on. Playing and meeting with you all is such a joy I could never describe it. Finding Santharia many years ago was and still is such a joy, I could never ever thank Art enough for allowing me to join, contribute on the dev side, and then role play.

Thank you all!!!  

Capher.

I am glad to hear you are feeling better Capher. As always don't push yourself on our account, we don't like hearing of you getting sick. Especially when the news comes from another.

Hi all!

Haj talked to me and said, he would like to come back - though not with empty hands. He thinks of retrieving either sword or Heart, but I told him to speak with Teri and surprise us.

I'm starting today the High elven circle thing in an extra thread and will hopefully be able to post it tomorrow.Till then, we can talk on in this room we are now.. I thought now of making the gap not this wide between now and the elven circle, or should we have to wait a bit longer, to allow Taia and Terra to rest?

***Astropic of the day***
"For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path   that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. ~Don Juan"

I would be in favor of going forward in time to the meeting with Siroled.  Ta'las is itching to be on the road again.

That's one idea, I had forgotten about another...

I was thinking, would it be possible to substitute my char with a new one, rather than returning the old one? I know you don't accept new characters, but I'm wondering if I didn't return Haj if I could use a new character instead. Main reason being that, while I like this story, I don't really like Haj as a character, and would prefer it if I could use a different character. Using one of my other ones also means that I'm more likely to post on a regular basis, as a large reason for my sluggishness in the past was due to the fact that I didn't really like the character I was posting with.


If this would be allowed, that'd be preferable to returning as Haj.

That depends of which char you want to introduce, for Rheine would probably not fit in.(Why should she want to travel with us, why should we take responsibility for her and take her with us, when we face terrible dangers? This was complicted with Avour already, but back then we didn't know much of our destiny)  Just tell us (link) of which char you are thinking.

Edit:
What about rewriting Haj and making him to a char you like better? You did it once. I don't know, what you don't like, but a powerful mage might be of more use for the group than every other char.
We surely could meet Rheine somewhere, outside the Quallian, but would probably not consider to take her with us. See reasons above.


Edit 2:
She could retrieve the heart or sword for us, though, that could be the only reason the group tolerates her afterwards as well.

Well, waiting for your proposals.

*maybe* Rheine, I'm sure I could come up with reasons for her to be with the group.... though I have two other characters who could possibly work, but their bios are currently works-in-progress.


**EDIT** Curse your edits!!

I *might* try rewriting Haj, though I'm kinda swamped with work as it is!! 2 char bios on the way, another revision of Rheine's (extended history, magic details), the entry on witchcraft...

Though I'll try and see if I can do that...


The other characters (aside from Rheine) would in general be about as powerful as Haj (who either way is getting a reduction in power as I've already had to RP a bit less of him than he technically should be able to do, due to balance issues...), perhaps a bit less, but around the same skill level as the other characters in the story .

I vote for whatever the majority votes.  

And I also would not mind speeding things up a bit.  The High Elven Circle should be interesting.  And I am sure Siroled would recognize the name "White Wolf" if not Capher.  As the elves know him better as White Wolf"  Also at the council I tell all, that should be interesting. LOL.

Capher.

Dasson/Haj?,

I think you would need a compelling reason for Rheine to be in the Quallian.  Admittedly, she is a drifter, but if I read her CD correctly, she is also a racist, and without good reason I am not sure she would be tromping about in one of the hearts of elven territory.  Perhaps she could have fallen in with Garrek at some point during their respective travels.

It would be easier to justify Haj's return, and you might even grow to like him!

Ta'las

Again, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.


I'm just really not a fan of bringing back Haj... I used him for 3 years, don't think I'm gonna grow into him all of a sudden, heh.

Oh, we should be posting in the High Elven threads. Ok Talia, will do.
