[19:23:01] * Playback of 'recap.txt' complete
[19:23:22] * Spunky is now known as Nym_Gibran
[19:24:12] <+Regan> Um, Master Nym? You seemed to have blacked out there for a minute.
[19:24:57] <Nym_Gibran> ::blinks and his eyes refocus as if he has been remembering something:: "This attack reminds me of another I've seen."
[19:25:41] <Nym_Gibran> ::Turns to the apprentices present:: "What news do you bring from your investigation?"
[19:26:13] <+Llanth> "None good unfortunately."
[19:27:22] <+Regan> ::Places his hand on his forehead:: I think I lost everyone in the village."
[19:27:33] <~Bynw> *Caime* "It was as Regan told us. A slaughter."
[19:27:46] <+Llanth> "The village is decimated, the inhabitants we found were torn to shreds. We did however find a single foot print."
[19:28:07] <Nym_Gibran> ::Raises an Eyebrow::
[19:28:20] <+Taenor> "Completely eliminated, Master. That footprint brought about an image. If i may?"
[19:28:48] * +Taenor makes to reach his hand out and share the vision with master Nym.
[19:28:50] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Taenor and extends his hand to make a link::
[19:29:23] * +Taenor reaches out with his mind and shares the image with Nym.
[19:29:46] * +Regan winces at the memory of the slaughter.
[19:30:48] * +Llanth pats Regan on the shoulder.
[19:30:58] * elf has joined #teara-adan
[19:31:04] * +Regan nods to Llanth
[19:32:08] <+Regan> "Thank you, my friend." Regan says to Llanth in Souther Larethian
[19:32:35] <+Regan> *Southern*
[19:33:04] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Taenor and drops his hand::
[19:33:32] <Nym_Gibran> ::He scratches his chin in thought for a moment::
[19:34:51] <+Taenor> "What are you thinking, Master?"
[19:36:05] * SergiusMaximus has joined #teara-adan
[19:37:00] <+Regan> "Do you know who is responsible for this carnage amoung my people? ::Regan askes Nym
[19:41:13] <Nym_Gibran> ::shakes his head:: "No I'm sorry I do not."
[19:41:28] * +Regan frowns
[19:42:42] <+Llanth> "I am sure if it is possible we will find the ones who did this."
[19:42:54] <Nym_Gibran> ::Sighs:: "Regan. You are welcome to stay here with us, in the tri-sun fortress until we find the person responsible for this. Our home is yours."
[19:43:51] <+Regan> "I thank you Master Nym." ::Regan replies with a short bow::
[19:44:52] <+Daine> ::He turns and begins addressing thin-air:: "Alex. I need your help friend."
[19:46:58] <+Daine> ::A moment later a ghostly apparition appears in that spot. It is outlined in green hand-fire or the same color as Master Nym's. It is hard to tell if it is boy or girl, but it is young, perhaps barely a teen or younger::
[19:47:46] <+Regan> "I do intend to seek reven....." Regan starts to say then stops short at Daine's words.::
[19:49:00] <+Daine> ((sorry wrong guy, Nym said that))
[19:50:40] * +Regan Regan raises an eyebrow and steps back a step
[19:50:43] <Nym_Gibran> *Alex ::Looks up at Nym with a warm smile and cast a nervous glance the others assembled:: "Hello Master Nym. How can I help." ::waves to Tara and smiles briefly at her::
[19:51:12] * +Llanth blinks.
[19:52:57] * +Regan looks to Llanth in question
[19:53:18] <Nym_Gibran> "I need you to go find Camidus again for me. He might know who this man is and how best to handle him. Tell him I will send my students to him if he doesn't wish to travel here, though he is welcome of course."
[19:53:18] * +Llanth shrugs.
[19:54:24] <Nym_Gibran> *Alex ::nods to Nym and casts a mischievious grin to the others, then as fast as he appeared he is gone. He simply fades away into nothing::
[19:55:12] <+Regan> "Now I've seen everything." Regan declares
[19:55:56] <+Llanth> "I fear that you have yet to see anything friend."
[19:57:06] * +Regan looks to Llanth at his comment and realizes he's not joking. Regan gulps
[19:58:24] <~Bynw> *Michon* "They are need of rest. Their day and night cycle has been running opposite for several days now Master."
[19:59:41] <Nym_Gibran> ::Looks at the others, his face the usual stoic mask:: "You students have much to learn."
[20:00:16] * +Regan nods at Michon's comment. "I do feel the need for some rest. I also need to fix my bow."
[20:00:25] <~Bynw> "They are also young yet." *Michon states*
[20:00:52] <Nym_Gibran> "My old friend Camidus can shed some light on this for us. It wont take Alex long to find him, if he wants to be found that is of course."
[20:01:05] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Michon::
[20:02:12] <Nym_Gibran> ::Yawns:: "Get some rest. I will meditate on this and have more for you at dusk"
[20:02:44] <+Regan> ::Regan turns to Master Michon:: "Master Michon, may I have a word?"
[20:03:05] <~Bynw> *Michon* "Yes Regan?"
[20:03:31] <+Regan> "My medallion?"
[20:04:24] <~Bynw> "Your medallion is safe at the moment. Rest is needed before we explore that further. You shall have it back this evening"
[20:04:59] <+Regan> ::Regan nods:: "Very well, thank you sir."
[20:06:19] <Nym_Gibran> "Master Michon, please find our guest some quarters."
[20:06:27] * SergiusMaximus has quit IRC (Software caused connection abort)
[20:06:46] <~Bynw> *regan is given quarters, near the apprentices*
[20:07:16] <Nym_Gibran> "Regan, do not wander the halls here in the fortress. This place is old and even I do not know all that it might hold."
[20:07:17] * +Regan gets some needed rest, though he sleeps lightly.
[20:07:41] <Nym_Gibran> ::Turns and strides away to find rest::
[20:07:51] <+Daine> ::Goes for rest as well::
[20:09:16] <~Bynw> *by dusk the apprentices and everyone is well rested
[20:10:37] <+Daine> ::wanders into the practice yard to start his morning routine::
[20:11:08] * +Taenor wakes up and goes to check on his patient.
[20:11:30] * +Regan gets up and heads down to the practice yard with the staff he procured from the armory
[20:12:28] <~Bynw> *Dennis is still out ... his mind seems to be unreachable by Taenor's touch. His body is whole and does not require any healing
[20:13:12] <Nym_Gibran> ::Goes to check on Dennis::
[20:13:52] * +Regan nods to Daine upon entering the practice yard
[20:14:11] * +Llanth wanders through the kitchen and finds a cup of tea before heading out to the practice yard.
[20:14:42] <+Taenor> "Master, I'd like to try again, just to see if i can find out what's wrong in his mind. With your permission?"
[20:15:02] <+Daine> ::Pauses as Regan approches and nods back to him:: "You have any idea who would want to do this to your village Regan?"
[20:15:40] <+Regan> "No I don't. If I did, he'd be dead by now."
[20:15:50] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Taenor:: "I was never gifted with the power of healing, by all means apprentice."
[20:16:41] * +Taenor reaches out his hand, and his powers, to see what is wrong, pouring all he can into the analysis of Dennis.
[20:17:13] <+Daine> ::Nods and smiles to Regan:: "So quick to kill. What if he had a reason to do what he did?"
[20:17:32] <+Taenor> roll 9df+
[20:17:33] <+BoxCars> Taenor rolls 9df+ and gets (+)( )(-)(-)( )(-)(+)(+)(+) Epic
[20:17:55] <+Regan> "Then I would kill him twice." Regan says to Daine
[20:19:16] * +Llanth walks onto the practice yard hearing that statement.
[20:20:03] <+Llanth> "Kill who?"
[20:20:30] <+Regan> "Whoever's responsible for the attack on my village.
[20:20:33] <+Regan> "
[20:20:47] <+Daine> ::Stops and blinks at Regan. He seems sad somehow, he lowers his voice:: "I...knew a boy once, who did horrible things. He did it because it was all he knew...."
[20:20:57] <+Llanth> "Are you sure it was intentional?"
[20:21:18] * +Taenor pulls out of Dennis's mind, and looks up, sweating slightly and has a concerned look on his face.
[20:22:03] <+Daine> "He did it because he was told to by the only person who ever took care of him, taught him. It was all he was taught."
[20:22:25] <+Regan> Regan looks at Daine and replies. "Killing is new to me, but it seems appropriate if someone is responsible."
[20:22:44] <+Llanth> "What if they are not?"
[20:23:12] <+Daine> "That boy changed. Would you kill him, or wish death on him?"
[20:23:23] <+Taenor> "He's retreated into his own mind, which, on the surface is damaged severely. We need a different kind of healing. That of the mind. It might even take mind control, Master, but only someone highly skilled, and someone we can trust. Do you know anyone that meets that criteria?"
[20:23:28] <+Regan> "Then they better tell me who is."
[20:23:51] <+Llanth> "
[20:24:03] <+Llanth> "What if nobody is responsable?"
[20:24:39] <+Regan> "Then I have alot soul searching to do Llanth."
[20:25:16] <Nym_Gibran> ::Raises an eyebrow at Regan:: "Let me see what, if anything, I can do for him."
[20:26:37] <Nym_Gibran> ::Takes a seat on the edge of Dennis's bed and grabs hold of his hand. His other hand takes a firm hold of the dagger at his belt, his Star Sword. He begins breathing deeply and slowly, closing his eyes as he does::
[20:30:43] <+Daine> ::Smiles and nods at Regan:: "A better answer. Though if I meet this Druid and he is not repentant I'll help you."
[20:30:53] <+Daine> ::grins at Regan::
[20:30:57] <+Llanth> "I would suggest searching your soul now. Even if someone is responsible, killing them will not change anything. And then you will have blood on your hands, and you will have to answer for that. To yourself if to nobody else."
[20:31:10] * +Regan returns Daines grin
[20:31:24] <Nym_Gibran> roll 5df+
[20:31:25] <+BoxCars> Nym_Gibran rolls 5df+ and gets (-)(+)(+)( )(-) Good
[20:31:28] * +Taenor asks Nym,"Master, may I observe while you do that which you are doing?"
[20:32:03] <Nym_Gibran> ::He seems to be asleep, or in a deep trance. he doesn't respond::
[20:32:37] * +Taenor checks Nym's pulse, watching for any problems while he is attempting to help Dennis.
[20:32:47] <+Regan> "Fine with me Llanth." Regan replies. He starts twirling his staff in practice as he walks away.
[20:33:45] * +Llanth shakes his head.
[20:34:10] <+Daine> "How do you suppose we find this mystery man of yours anyway? He might not even be the one that called the attack on your village you know. He was there, but so where we. That doesn't make him a killer."
[20:34:44] * +Regan glances back over his shoulder at Llanth. "That wasn't your best friend lying in pieces back there."
[20:35:14] <Nym_Gibran> ::his eyes flutter, his pulse quickens::
[20:35:48] * otter is now known as Mark
[20:36:05] <+Llanth> "I never claimed to know what you felt. But taking the life of another carries with it a high price."
[20:37:18] <+Regan> ::Regan sighs:: "It's not high enough if it is the one responsible."
[20:37:41] <+Llanth> "That will be up to you to decide."
[20:38:17] <+Regan> "Well then, we agree on something at least."
[20:38:48] * +Taenor frowns slightly.
[20:38:55] <+Llanth> "But what if you find the one who caused the attack, and they are not what you thought them to be?"
[20:40:15] <+Daine> ::rests his sword on his shoulder while he listens to the conversation::
[20:40:38] <+Regan> "If, if if! I don't know Llanth!" ::Regan shouts, then holds his hands up in abeyance. "Sorry my friend, I did not mean to shout."
[20:41:12] <~Bynw> *Michon enters the chamber and sees Taenor and Nym with Dennis* "Master..."
[20:41:44] <+Llanth> "You have every reason to shout. It can not be easy for you. But it is best to be prepared for every situation before you have to face it."
[20:42:16] <+Regan> "If I could do that, the villagers would still be alive."
[20:43:23] * +Llanth touches his head "Here."
[20:43:37] * +Llanth touches his arm "Not here."
[20:43:41] <Nym_Gibran> roll 5df+
[20:43:42] <+BoxCars> Nym_Gibran rolls 5df+ and gets ( )(-)(-)(+)( ) Fair
[20:44:03] <Nym_Gibran> ::His mouth tightens into a hard line and his pulse races::
[20:44:32] <+Llanth> "You can be the bravest, smartest, strongest man in the world, and still time will pull the ones you love from your grip."
[20:44:37] <+Taenor> "He's busy, Michon."
[20:45:16] <+Taenor> "I found out what's wrong with Dennis. He's trying to help him."
[20:45:26] <Nym_Gibran> roll 9df+
[20:45:27] <+BoxCars> Nym_Gibran rolls 9df+ and gets ( )(-)(+)(-)( )( )(+)(-)( ) Great
[20:46:31] <+Regan> "Time, yes. I have no problem with Time taking one's soul. But not like they way they died." ::Regan points in the direction of the village::
[20:48:02] <+Llanth> "Time has strange cohorts sometimes."
[20:49:09] <Nym_Gibran> ::His eyes flutter open and he gasps in air, his face is flush. He drifts back for a moment in exhaustion, but rights himself::
[20:49:56] <Nym_Gibran> "I've done what I can, though it wont hold."
[20:51:41] <~Bynw> *Michon* "Master...we may have to move him"
[20:51:44] <Nym_Gibran> "He is lost in a nightmare to end all nightmares. I've walked many peoples dreams and never seen the like of it. He is at rest, but it will not last."
[20:52:33] * +Taenor frowns
[20:52:44] <+Taenor> "Master what can we do?"
[20:53:12] * +Regan eyes Daine's sword: "Are you any good with that?"
[20:53:31] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Michon:: "He needs a master mental surgeon to repair what has been done. I fear for his sanity if this continues too long."
[20:54:00] <+Daine> ::Shrugs:: "Good enough."
[20:54:34] * +Regan smiles. "I bet you are."
[20:54:41] <+Taenor> "I'd like to go with him up until we find someone, unless we are to bring them here."
[20:54:47] <~Bynw> "I agree. We should take him to Polaris and have the healers there help him." *Michon says* "He is beyond our abilities at this point I fear."
[20:55:17] <+Daine> ::Smiles:: "I've used it a few times."
[20:56:46] <+Taenor> "Masters, I would like to stay with Dennis until he is treated by the Healers at Polaris. Even my father knew of them, and spoke with them with the utmost respect."
[20:56:47] <+Regan> "Hmmm, some time soon I'd like to spar with you. The flat of your blade against my staff."
[20:57:03] * +Llanth smirks.
[20:57:20] <+Llanth> "Are you any good with a bow Regan?"
[20:58:00] <+Regan> "Good enough." Regan says copying Daine's answer
[20:58:12] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Michon:: "Yes I'm afraid your right. Either I or yourself will have to take him."
[20:59:22] * +Llanth unslings his bow and offers it to Regan.
[20:59:25] <+Daine> "Bah. That is no contest Regan. My blade would turn your stick into kindling in a fight."
[20:59:25] <~Bynw> "I shall take him. I am after all more practiced with long Portal jumps."
[20:59:55] <+Regan> "That's why I said the flat of your blade, Lunkhead."
[20:59:56] <+Llanth> "It isn't fancy like the bow you had, but it shoots true enough."
[21:00:20] * +Regan takes Llanths bow and examines it
[21:00:44] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Michon and scratches his chin in thought:: "I will wait for Alex to return, hopefully with good news. I don't want to leave the fortress without a Master."
[21:01:19] <~Bynw> *Michon* "I can take Taenor with me. I could use the extra energy boost anyway."
[21:01:38] <+Regan> "How far would you say that target is Llanth?" ::Regan points to the other side of the yard::
[21:01:55] * +Taenor laughs, then winks. "That would be unfortunate,master. The Heathen might try to take over in both of yours absence."
[21:02:48] <+Llanth> "Oh, 50 yards or so."
[21:03:10] <Nym_Gibran> ::Looks to Taenor, then to Michon:: "Yes. It is time the students visited the birthplace of the Anadari."
[21:04:00] <+Regan> "An arrow id you please, Llanth. A straight one, I've heard of the tricks elves can pull."
[21:04:09] <+Regan> *if*
[21:04:11] <Nym_Gibran> "Follow me." ::Pushes himself up and walks, shorter strides then usual, out of the room and towards the courtyard::
[21:04:21] * +Llanth offers his quiver.
[21:05:43] * +Regan pulls two arrows out of the quiver and looks them over, then returns one to the quiver an nocks the remaining arrow.
[21:05:57] <+Daine> ::Shakes his head:: "Sticks and arrows. Am I the only one that trusts steel here?"
[21:06:13] * +Taenor follows Nym.
[21:06:30] <Mark> "I don't really trust fighting..."
[21:06:41] * Mark follows the crowd
[21:06:42] * +Regan laughs at Daine. That sword won't help at 50 yards, Daine."
[21:06:47] <+Regan> "
[21:07:35] <+Llanth> "Don't say that, we might have another spontanious combustion incident with another archery target."
[21:07:48] <+Daine> ::Pats his Revolver:: "But this will. Well at a bit closer then fifty yards..." ::trails off::
[21:07:52] <Nym_Gibran> ::Enters the courtyard, dark lines undercut his eyes as if he's not slept::
[21:09:03] * Mark enters the courtyard as well
[21:09:20] <~Bynw> *Michon follow Nym into the courtyard*
[21:10:06] <Nym_Gibran> ::Stands in the center of the courtyard and raises his voice to be heard:: "Gather your traveling gear, your leaving to the homeland of the Anadari, Polaris."
[21:10:33] <+Daine> ::Smiles and sheaths his sword::
[21:10:43] * +Regan regan aims at the target briefly and lets the arrow fly as Nym speaks
[21:10:53] <+Regan> roll 7df+
[21:10:53] <+BoxCars> Regan rolls 7df+ and gets (-)(+)(+)(+)(+)(+)(+) Epic
[21:12:16] <+Llanth> "Not bad."
[21:12:55] <+Regan> ::Arrow hit's dead center of the target after Regan turns away::
[21:13:15] * +Regan winks at Llanth
[21:13:40] <+Regan> "Thanks, nice bow if I may say so."
[21:13:47] <~Bynw> *Michon* "All of them? I wont be able to take all of them."
[21:13:55] <+Llanth> "Just a plain Bow."
[21:14:42] * +Regan trots over to the target and retrieves the arrow and returns it to Llanth. "Thanks."
[21:14:57] <~Bynw> "I can only take myself and 2 others at most. Especially over that distance."
[21:15:41] <Nym_Gibran> ::Takes notice of the arrow and target for a moment, then turns to Michon:: "Then you'll have to make shorter hops. Tara can help if needed."
[21:16:09] * +Regan turns towards Nym and waits, listening
[21:16:27] * Mark walks up and stands next to Llanth. "What's the plan?"
[21:17:07] <+Llanth> "It looks like we are going on a trip, though it may be that all of the details have not yet been worked out."
[21:17:19] <Nym_Gibran> ::Eyes Regan for a moment:: "You are a problem though."
[21:17:48] <Nym_Gibran> "I'm afraid you are not ready for the trip to Polaris just yet."
[21:17:55] <+Regan> "You sound like my mother" Regan says with a smile
[21:18:15] <Nym_Gibran> ::Frowns at Regan's comment::
[21:19:30] <+Regan> "I'm not? May I ask why? Respectfully, Master."
[21:20:34] <Nym_Gibran> ::Raises an eyebrow at Regan:: "You are not Anadari, nor are you an apprentice."
[21:21:28] <+Regan> "Ah. And you go only where Anadari can go."
[21:22:15] <Nym_Gibran> ::His eyes bore into Regan's:: "Can you wield the Akasha?"
[21:23:00] <+Daine> ::looks to Regan with curiosity::
[21:23:41] <+Regan> "Probably, if I knew what it was. But I was conceding to your judgement with my last comment."
[21:24:39] * +Regan bows slightly
[21:26:34] <~Bynw> *Michon* "Master. I can jump from here to Polaris in a single jump. Taking Dennis and Taenor with me. With Taenor I will still be conscious on arrival. Without him I will not be. Otherwise taking all the apprentices with me and 2 at a time. It will take days. That Dennis may not have."
[21:27:34] <Nym_Gibran> ::Nods at Regan, but his face softens, if granite can be said to soften:: "I  did not mean to be cross with you, only to ask a question. Have you been trained as a mentalist?"
[21:29:51] <Nym_Gibran> ::Sighs at Michon's comment, but seems to concede his point. He nods to Michon:: "Very well. Take Taenor and Dennis and go. The students will have to wait for another day."
[21:30:31] * +Regan shrugs in answer
[21:31:00] <~Bynw> *Michon nods to Nym and then turns to Taenor* "Help me carry Dennis to the portal." *and the 2 walk away*
[21:31:24] * +Taenor nods, and follows.

[21:35:26] <Nym_Gibran> ::his eyes go unfocused for a moment, then return. He nods to himself::
[21:35:50] <Nym_Gibran> "You have the gift."
[21:36:19] * +Regan raises both eyebrows::"Oh?"
[21:37:21] <Nym_Gibran> "No one has ever told you. That is unfortunate. You are untrained then."
[21:38:07] <+Regan> "It may be called something else in my country."
[21:38:56] <Nym_Gibran> "You have the possibility to use your mind to do wonderous things. Some would call it magic."
[21:39:09] <~Bynw> *Tara comes running into the courtyard. Her hair flowing in the wind* "Master!"
[21:39:30] * +Regan turns towards Tara
[21:39:44] <Nym_Gibran> ::Turns to Tara as she approches:: "What is it?"
[21:40:24] <Nym_Gibran> ::His face shows concern::
[21:41:30] <~Bynw> *She stops and has a smile on her face* "I just received word from my father. Cardinal Eev'yh's successor has been named and is due to be enthroned within days"
[21:42:18] <Nym_Gibran> ::Raises an eyebrow at Tara:: "Who is to step into his place?"
[21:43:20] <~Bynw> *Tara* "The Archbishop Poole. Of the Order of the Voice of God. Apparently the Aman are most displeased."
[21:43:48] * +Regan turns to Llanth and whispers: "Who's her father?"
[21:44:12] <Nym_Gibran> ::A Genuine smile comes to his face now:: "Good news indeed."
[21:46:09] <+Llanth> "I have no clue, Tara is a mystery to me."
[21:47:02] <Nym_Gibran> "I'll make contact with the council in Tennes tomorrow and have a missive sent to Bishop Elius."
[21:47:07] * +Regan "I like mysteries" Regan whispers back with a smile
[21:49:22] <Nym_Gibran> ::He looks back at the fortress for a moment, then back to everyone:: "We have a guest."
[21:49:53] <+Llanth> "A guest?"
[21:50:04] <Mark> "Who would it be?"
[21:50:17] * +Regan nonchalantly picks up his staff, listening
[21:53:00] <Nym_Gibran> "Let's go find out." ::Begins walking back into the fortress, winding his way deeper into the massive complex and eventually to the transfer portal room::
[21:53:19] * +Taenor follows once again
[21:53:42] * Mark takes the rear
[21:53:59] * +Regan follows next to Mark
[21:54:27] <~Bynw> *the portal square is protected by a ward ... blocking those who are not of the Horizon from leaving its confines once they arrive*
[21:54:33] * Rasamune has joined #teara-adan
[21:55:14] <Nym_Gibran> ::With just a slight hesitation he un-bars and throws open the massive doors that close the portal room off from the rest of the fortress. Standing in the doorway and looking into the room too see who has arrived::
[21:56:18] <~Bynw> *on the portal is a man, robed and hooded in the tradition of the Anadari. he is kneeling in meditation. his sheilds tight against him, obscuring his identity as best as possible*
[21:56:52] * Papaganoush has joined #teara-adan
[21:57:20] * +Regan raises his shields reflexively
[21:57:24] <~Bynw> *the hooded cloak hides any colors of his house*
[21:59:08] <Nym_Gibran> ::Raises and eyebrow at the figure:: "Stay here." ::he motions the apprentices to stay outside the wards, while he himself steps through and into the room with the mystery figure::
[21:59:25] <~Bynw> *he rises and pulls back his hood. he looks like an older Nym. both Nym and Daine recognize the man instantly*
[21:59:56] <Nym_Gibran> ::Smiles at the man:: "Welcome Uncle."
