[19:54:15] * Playback of 'recap.txt' complete
[19:56:19] * +Regan is up early, ready to move on.
[19:56:36] <~Bynw> *the kings men awake at the rising of the sun and begin to break the camp*
[19:56:49] * +Risira wakes up, packs up her little tent and bedroll, and waits for Nath's instruction.
[19:58:22] * +Llanth comes wandering into camp from behind a near by tree.
[19:59:07] * +Regan sees Risira packing up and wanders over to her. "Sleep well?"
[19:59:15] <~Bynw> *Nath gives orders to his men to break the camp and be ready to ride after a light breakfast*
[19:59:20] * +Taenor stands up, stretches, wanders into the woods to relieve himself, and returns to pack up his supplies.
[19:59:38] <+Daine> ::Wakes up with a yawn, a sour expression on his face. He glances daggers at Ceadda as he packs up his meager belongings::
[20:00:00] <~Bynw> *Ceadda gives Daine a slight bow*
[20:00:15] <+Risira> ::To Regan, quietly:: "Yes, thank you."
[20:00:21] * +Taenor throws a rock at Daine, but pretends ignorance and goes back to packing.

[20:01:20] * +Regan nods:: "At least someone did." Smiles

[20:01:29] <+Daine> ::Just stares at Ceadda, not returning the bow::

[20:06:11] <+Daine> ::Looks to Regan:: "Are you leading us to this archive this morning then?"

[20:08:09] * +Regan smiles again at Risira with a look of loss and reaches out and gives her arm a slight squeeze and then turns to Daine.

[20:08:51] <+Regan> "I never thought of it as an archive, but yes, I will."

[20:09:19] * +Taenor glares briefly at regan but checks his healer's satchel to count supplies, then folds it up.

[20:09:28] <~Bynw> *Nath* "We better get going. The next village will take a day's ride"

[20:09:54] * +Risira checks that her belongings are secured to her horse's flanks and mounts up.

[20:11:22] <+Daine> ::Gathers up his things, then to Regan:: "Lead on"

[20:11:46] * +Taenor walks next to Daine, occassionally kicking him.

[20:12:48] <+Daine> ::Shoves Taenor, meaning it to be gentle but over does it not knowing his strength::

[20:13:45] <+Daine> "Pagan, can you not even walk correctly?"

[20:14:11] * +Taenor braces himself against the shove, but corrects his walk after being shoved.

[20:15:14] * +Regan points to a building up to the right. "The library is in that building, but it seems quite destroyed." *Sighs*

[20:15:21] <+Taenor> "Oh, I can walk. You just can't aim. Nor can the rest of your people, Heathen. That's why I didn't see any arrows at my monastery, Infidel." *sticks his tongue out, grinning*

[20:16:29] <+Daine> ::Looks ahead with a grin:: "We don't shoot arrows Pagan." ::pats the pistol at his side::

[20:17:38] <+Taenor> "Bah. Crude weapons. Yet effective. But I mostly saw bladed wounds, Infidel."

[20:18:33] <+Regan> "When we first came through Kylemore, the library looked ransacked."

[20:19:59] <+Daine> ::Shrugs:: "No reason to waste bullets when blades will do. Besides..." ::shoots Taenor a look that sends shudders up his spine:: "Blades are so much more personal."

[20:20:23] <~Bynw> *Nath* "We should move on to the next village Regan. There is nothing here now."

[20:20:38] * +Regan nods

[20:20:39] <+Daine> ::To Regan:: "Perhaps the Chadwick is searching for the same thing Master Nym is searching for?"

[20:21:42] <+Taenor> *shrugs off the look* "I've seen men have their bodies mutilated in many ways, my Heathen brother. I've had mine scarred in several of them. And I carry my blade and have killed more men than the Lord our God will likely forgive. I know how personal a blade can be."

[20:22:48] <+Llanth> "Is searching for or has already found."

[20:24:34] * +Regan looks over to Raider and snaps his fingers lightly twice. Raider lifts his head up and snorts.

[20:24:45] <+Taenor> *kicks Daine one more time and wanders over to Risira, flirting with his fellow Healer again.*

[20:25:34] * +Regan mumbles to himself. "What's his problem."

[20:26:51] * +Regan walks over to his mount.

[20:28:09] * +Risira bows her head and blushes at Taenor's flirting.

[20:30:35] <+Daine> ::Snorts at both Risira and Taenor::

[20:32:22] * +Regan mounts Raider and starts to ride west. "Will discuss this later" he says to Raider

[20:32:34] <~Bynw> *the group rides westward following Regan. they stop around midday to rest the horses and themselves for a while before continuing onward.

[20:32:35] <+Daine> ::Looks around for Ceadda as he begins walking::

[20:33:11] <~Bynw> *Ceadda rides double with one of the other men*

[20:34:45] <~Bynw> *after their midday rest the group continues until reaching the village just as the sun is setting*

[20:35:35] <~Bynw> *this village is full of live and sounds as the group comes upon it. the local tavern is the meeting place at the end of a hard days work*

[20:36:12] <+Daine> ::Looks around the village to take it in, noticing a Tavern:: "Perhaps we can sleep in a bed tonight?"

[20:36:45] <+Taenor> "You heathens know what beds are???"

[20:37:10] * +Regan smiles at Taenors comment

[20:38:07] <~Bynw> *Nath* "A bed." *he smiles* "That would be most welcome"

[20:38:23] <+Daine> ::Sniffs at Taenor::

[20:38:40] * +Risira smiles her agreement with Nath.

[20:38:57] * +Taenor sniffs near Daine, then waves his hand in front of his nose.

[20:39:21] <+Taenor> "Well, if you know what beds are, you might know what a bath is. But you sure don't take them."

[20:39:53] <~Bynw> *Nath moves forward towards the welcome Tavern*

[20:39:56] <+Daine> "That's your upper lip Pagan."

[20:40:06] <+Llanth> "He is only slightly more offensive in scent than you Taenor."

[20:40:09] <+Daine> ::Follows Nath::

[20:40:22] * +Risira follows Nath as well.

[20:40:25] <+Taenor> "Or your imagination, Heathen." *grinning*

[20:40:34] <+Daine> "I still smell bat dung." ::smiles::

[20:40:45] * +Regan looks to Risira with a smile. "The tavern is quite good. You should sleep well."

[20:41:22] <+Taenor> "Ah, but Elves are so pure, Master Llanth. And just. And wouldn't splash if they pissed on a platter. And their dung doesn't smell even if left in the open for a year."

[20:41:41] <+Llanth> "This is true, yes.

[20:41:43] * Elf-sleeping is now known as Elf

[20:41:55] * +Taenor throws his head back and laughs.

[20:42:09] <~Bynw> *on enterning the tavern ... it is packed. maids move about with drink and food to a number of tables and other locals. smoke of many pipes fill the air and the sounds of conversation and games of chance abound*

[20:42:17] * Nath has joined #teara-adan

[20:42:25] * Bynw sets mode: +v Nath

[20:42:51] <+Taenor> "If that's true, Llanth, this place is a palace."

[20:43:03] * +Regan walks over to a man with a clean kitchen apron and smiles.

[20:43:37] <+Llanth> "What man is not king in his own home?"

[20:44:05] <+Taenor> "One who has no home and only a heathen brother."

[20:44:07] <+Master_Nym> ::Turns to face the others as they enter:: "Your late." ::smiles::

[20:44:35] <+Master_Nym> ::Stands at the bar, a mug in his hand::

[20:45:12] * +Taenor walks over to the bar, sets his satchel down, sits next to Nym, and calls for an ale.

[20:45:17] * Ranart has joined #teara-adan

[20:45:24] <~Bynw> *Tara sits next to were Nym is standing also drinking from a tankard and waves Llanth over*

[20:45:36] <+Daine> "You'd never be king in any house you shared with me Pagan..." ::Trails off as he spots Nym::

[20:45:43] * +Llanth approaches.

[20:45:59] <+Llanth> "Good evening Lady Tara."

[20:46:17] <Ranart> ::Listens to Regan and nods::

[20:46:28] <~Bynw> *Tara* "The barkeep tells me there is a some Elven wine here. If you are interested of course" *she says to him*

[20:46:28] <+Llanth> ::As an afterthought:: "And Master Nym."

[20:46:32] <+Master_Nym> ::Bows at the shoulders to Llanth:: "Welcome student."

[20:46:34] <+Taenor> "You would only be a prince in a minor fiefdom in the privvies of my kingdom if we shared a home, Heathen brother of mine."

[20:46:58] * +Taenor bows before drinking to Nym.

[20:47:43] <+Taenor> *and Tara

[20:47:47] <~Bynw> *Tara takes another long pull from her tankard*

[20:48:00] <+Master_Nym> ::To the assembled members:: "I trust your trip was uneventfull?"

[20:48:21] <+Taenor> "The usual master. Crude remarks aside."

[20:48:31] <+Master_Nym> ::Drinks lightly from his mug::

[20:48:48] <Ranart> "I have only a few rooms my lad, but it should accomodate your party. The lady can stay with my daughter in her room, if that will suffice?"

[20:49:21] * +Risira nods. "Yes, that will do fine."

[20:50:30] * Ranart nods to Risira then turns back to Regan. "How is your father? I have not seen him in a few seasons."

[20:51:32] <+Regan> "I know not of his fate." then takes the tavern owner and walks away from the others hearing.

[20:52:26] <+Daine> ::Looks about the Tavern for a musician::

[20:52:55] <+Taenor> *to Daine*"Looking for something, brother?"

[20:53:03] <~Bynw> *there is a lutist playing in one of the corners*

[20:53:36] * +Nath gives some instructions to Rus quietly, who appears ill at ease in the tavern.

[20:53:59] <+Regan> :: Talks to Ranart for a few moments. Then turns back to Risira and whispers in her ear. "Mayla is a quiet girl, she will give you privacy and not disturb you."

[20:54:10] * Elf is now known as Knos

[20:54:35] <+Daine> ::To Taenor:: "I do not partake of drink, and your pagan women are not to my liking, but It has been a long time since I've heard music. The simple things in life are the best."

[20:54:45] <~Bynw> *Tara* "If Nym stops dragging me with him every place he goes I should be around more to give further instructions to my fellow apprentices in areas that they need it." *she says to Llanth* "Do you even drink?"

[20:54:53] * Knos wanders up to the bar and orders and ale, smirking as Rus leaves the tavern "Bah that one does not appreciate the civilized things."

[20:55:26] <+Taenor> "Ah. So you like giant hairy women that can throw you across the room? Well, I guess music will have to do for you then."

[20:55:33] <+Llanth> "Only occasionally."

[20:55:54] <+Risira> ::to Regan::  "It will be nice to have some female company after so many days in the company of men."

[20:56:20] <+Daine> "Pagan, you have no idea what Uthani women are like." ::Walks slowly to the Lutist and leans in to make a request::

[20:56:21] * +Nath moves orders an ale and food and then moves to a tabel where he eats quietly observing the tavern and it's occupants while he eats

[20:56:37] <+Taenor> "Obviously not."

[20:57:02] * +Risira buys watered wine and some food and sits at the table with Nath.

[20:57:17] <+Master_Nym> ::Eyes Tara skeptically for a moment, then takes a shallow drink::

[20:57:17] <~Bynw> *Ceadda quietly moves through the crowded tavern and sits at Nath's table*

[20:57:48] * +Nath nods at Risira and Ceadda as they sit down

[20:57:50] <+Regan> :: Smiles at Risira's comment then walks over to Nath, then Daine telling both that the rooms will be ready soon and that they are already paid for.

[20:57:58] <~Bynw> *she smiles at Nym and takes another pull on the tankard*

[20:58:29] * +Taenor finishes off his ale and calls for another, flirting a little more openly with Risira

[20:58:33] * Knos orders another ale and some food after finishing the first and joins Nath and the others at the tablel

[20:58:59] * +Regan turns to Nym "Master, a separate room has been provided for yourself and....."

[20:59:30] * +Regan looks to Tara

[21:00:05] <+Nath> "Thank you Regan, it was necessary though."

[21:00:17] <+Nath> "Thank you Regan, it was unnecessary though."

[21:01:03] * Ranart stands near the kitchen and orders the barkeep to give a round to Regan's party.

[21:01:24] <~Bynw> *the lutist plays a few songs that are upbeat and lively

[21:01:39] * +Taenor drinks first from his current round then from his free round

[21:01:46] * +Regan nods. "He and my father go way back"

[21:01:52] <+Daine> ::Smiles at the Lutist and begins clapping along::

[21:02:01] <~Bynw> *Tara* "So what is next m'Lord?" *she asks Nym*

[21:02:49] <+Master_Nym> ::Bows at the shoulder to Regan:: "Thank you." ::To Tara:: "I think it is time Regan and I spent some time with the medallion."

[21:03:37] <Ranart> :: Walks over to Regan. "Lad, do you and your friends require a private room for discussion?"

[21:03:52] <+Master_Nym> ::Nods to Regan::

[21:03:56] * +Regan looks to Nym in question

[21:04:58] <~Bynw> *Tara nods and has the barkeep refill her tankard* "I shall mingle with others then" *she gets up and heads over in Daine's direction*

[21:05:55] * +Nath looks to Nym "We will be parting ways then? UNless you think this will help find my quarry."

[21:06:02] <+Daine> ::Glances about the room, and lays mischievious eyes on Tara. He suddenly grabs her hand and begins dancing about in front of the Lutist. He even manages to crack a smile::

[21:07:15] <~Bynw> *Tara dances with Daine and takes a few drinks while doing it*

[21:07:40] * +Regan glances at Risira

[21:07:41] <+Master_Nym> ::To Nath:: "Do you think it is conicidence that my students parents where attacked, when they held the key to possibly explaining the medallion?"

[21:08:31] <~Bynw> *Ceadda watches the conversation between Nym and Nath .. while sipping on a steamming mug of tea*

[21:08:42] <+Nath> "No I do not, too many coincidences for my liking all around Master Nym. I am sure that you are as aware of them as I."

[21:08:48] * +Regan turns back to Ranart "The room will be appreciated"

[21:10:17] <+Master_Nym> ::nods to Nath:: "Yes. It seems likely that this is all connected. I think the Akasha will keep our paths together a bit longer."

[21:10:25] * Ranart turns back to a young female girl and tells her to prepare the private study for Regan's party. She then scuffles up the stairs.

[21:11:21] * +Nath watches as Knos starts on a third tankard "Knos, you are going to be on sentry duty shortly."

[21:12:21] * Ranart turns back to Regan, pionting at the young girl. "My youngest Onora, do you remember her?"

[21:12:51] <+Master_Nym> ::Bows at the shoulders to Nath:: "if you will excuse me Captain, I mean to confer with my student on the matter of the medallion now."

[21:12:54] * Knos puts down his tankard "Aye Captain" he says with a pained look.

[21:13:06] * +Regan looks surprised. "Onora? She has grown."

[21:13:31] <+Nath> "By alll means Master Nym... Knos will ensure that you are not disturbed if you wish."

[21:13:35] <~Bynw> *after cutting a few with Daine, Tara moves on to Nath's men*

[21:13:48] <Ranart> "Yes, the last of the lot, thank the heavens"

[21:14:16] * +Taenor drinks for a few, then decides it's time for food and water.

[21:15:27] <+Daine> ::Laughs as Tara moves on, he stops infront of Taenor and Risira. He extends his hand to Risira:: "My good lady. Would you do me the honor of a dance." ::He wears an ear to ear grin and is already sweating from his dance with Tara::

[21:15:31] <+Regan> "Exuse me master Ranart, but a hear a livey tune and walks over to where Risira is and holds out his hand with a bow

[21:16:07] * +Regan smiles at Daine

[21:16:12] * +Risira blushes. "Well, now what do I do?"

[21:16:24] * Knos snorts at the attention that Risira is getting, looking slightly envious

[21:16:25] <+Master_Nym> ::To Regan:: "Apprentice, we have work to attend."

[21:16:28] * +Taenor swats Risira lightly on the bottom and says, "Have fun!"

[21:16:35] <+Regan> "What you wish"

[21:16:39] * Knos snorts at the attention that Risira is getting, looking slightly jealous

[21:16:50] <+Risira> "Daine asked first.  He can have first dance."

[21:17:00] <+Taenor> "I want the second!"

[21:17:26] <+Taenor> "Brothers have to share, afterall. What would Nym say if we didnt, Heathen brother of mine?"

[21:17:31] <~Bynw> *Tara sits next to Knos* "So what have you got there?" *she says pointing to his tankard*

[21:17:47] * +Regan smiles at Risira." Seems I have to attend to Master Nym anyways>" Bows to Risira and moves to Nym

[21:18:01] <+Daine> ::Smiles at Risira and pulls her to her feet and twirls her around. He sticks his tongue out at Regan while her back is turned, but smiles playfully at Regan afterwards and dances on::

[21:18:23] <Knos> "Ale! Nothing like a good ale to wash the travel dust otta yor mouth!"

[21:18:26] <~Bynw> *others join in the dance as well*

[21:18:52] * Ranart shakes his head and smiles at Regan's misfortune

[21:19:04] <+Master_Nym> ::Follows the young lady into the private room, looking over his shoulder to make sure Regan follows::

[21:19:09] <~Bynw> *Tara* "Ale's alright I guess. If you like water with a bit of flavor"

[21:19:46] <Knos> "I would ask for a stout but frequently do not find worthy ones."

[21:19:59] * +Regan shakes his head and follows Nym while looking over his shoulder at his friends having a good dance.

[21:20:03] * +Llanth leans back against the wall and watches the goings on.

[21:20:34] <+Master_Nym> ::Looks about the private room as he enters, getting his bearings::

[21:20:43] <+Nath> "Knos why don't you and the fine lady take that table over there"

[21:20:55] <~Bynw> *she sets down her tankard* "Try a swig of this"

[21:21:00] * +Nath points at a table by the exit where Nym left

[21:21:05] <Ranart> The room can be permanently warded

[21:21:22] * +Llanth waits for Knos to die from the drink.

[21:21:30] <Knos> "What is it lass?"

[21:22:10] * Knos accepts the mug and inhales the aroma

[21:22:39] <~Bynw> *she looks around* "A dwarven liquor. It will put hair on your chest, chin and any place else too. It's how the dwarves do it." *she nods at him*

[21:23:15] * Knos takes a swig of the tankard

[21:24:48] * +Regan follows Nym into the room

[21:24:50] <+Master_Nym> ::Takes a seat in the private room and motions Regan to do the same::

[21:25:17] * +Regan takes a chair across from Nym

[21:25:40] * Knos sets the tankard down and coughs a little. "Aye that be good!" but tis not ale!

[21:25:55] <Knos> roll 4df

[21:25:56] <+BoxCars> Knos rolls 4df and gets (+)( )( )(-) Fair

[21:26:13] * Ranart smiles knowingly at Knos's comment

[21:26:20] * Knos continues couging and spluttering a little

[21:26:46] <+Regan> "Yes master?"

[21:26:46] <+Master_Nym> "I think it is time we took a closer look at that medallion of yours."

[21:26:52] <~Bynw> *tara smiles at him* "No ... Ale is like ... water."

[21:27:08] <~Bynw> *she helps him up and moves over to the table near the door to the private room*

[21:27:27] <+Regan> ?

[21:27:35] <+Regan> (Sorry)

[21:28:57] * +Regan looks at Nym. " I  not have it on my person, I shall return in a moment." gets up to leave.

[21:29:13] * Knos smiles as he continues coughing "Aye, this be good sipping ale not wash down dust ale!"

[21:29:23] <+Master_Nym> ::Looks startled, but quickly hides it::

[21:30:32] * +Regan leaves the room and goes down to the main room, catches Risira's eye and winks as he go through the kitchen door.

[21:30:33] <+Master_Nym> ::Sits back in his chair and scrubs his hand through his hair in agitation as he waits for Regan to return::

[21:30:41] * +Nath chuckles as Knos moves off "I think Knos has found a drinking companion..."

[21:31:14] * +Regan walks out the back door and goes to where the horses are stabled

[21:31:18] * +Nath calls out as they move away "Sentry duty!"

[21:32:00] * +Regan approaches Raider and puts his hans in his bedroll that is tied to his mount

[21:32:34] <+Daine> ::Dances wildly with Risira for awhile, then sits down for a bit, his chest heaving:: "Ahhh it's been awhile since I've done this."

[21:32:36] <~Bynw> *Tara takes a good pull from the tankard again* "Thats good" *she goes and orders a large portion of whatever the nightly fair is for herself and drinking companion*

[21:33:04] * +Risira sits down and takes a sip of her wine to cool herself from the dancing.

[21:33:08] <+Daine> ::Makes that odd gesture of respect to Risira:: "Thank you my lady healer." ::smiles at her::

[21:33:26] <+Risira> "You're welcome."  She smiles shyly back.

[21:33:27] * Knos calls back "Aye!" and then sighs "That man is all business like a bllod hound on a scent.. He be good though."

[21:34:02] * +Taenor stands up, and offers his hand to Risira

[21:34:10] <+Taenor> "May I?"

[21:34:11] * +Regan retrieves a small chest and unlocks it with his thumb, hearing a small click and opens it and takes out the medallion and places the chest back in the bedroll. Then puts the medallion aroung his neck and tucks it in

[21:34:23] * +Risira smiles shyly and takes Taenor's hand to dance again.

[21:34:25] <~Bynw> *Ceadda gets up and gives his nod of respect to Nath and goes outside*

[21:35:04] * +Taenor walks her over to the lute player, and whispers in his ear a name, and he strikes up something slow after nodding.

[21:35:08] * +Regan returns through the kitchen, then smiles at Risira and goes upstairs back to Nym

[21:35:44] * +Regan takes the medallion and hands it to Nym

[21:36:02] * +Taenor turns and dances with Risira, pulling her close,placing his hands on her hips, but chastely.

[21:36:09] <+Daine> ::waves in disgust at Taenor and gets up to talk to Ranart:: "You do have a bath?"

[21:36:42] * +Nath nods at Ceadda

[21:37:01] * +Nath finishes his ale and watches the crowd

[21:37:07] <+Master_Nym> ::Sighs in relief and picks it up, he waves it at him like an accusing finger:: "Student, I thought I asked you to keep watch on this?"

[21:37:10] * Ranart has left #teara-adan

[21:37:59] * Ranart has joined #teara-adan

[21:38:47] * +Regan waits

[21:39:51] <+Master_Nym> ::shakes his head at Regan:: "You simply have no idea what this can do."

[21:40:20] * Knos turns to Tara "So did you bring this Dwarven ale with you or is it available locally?"

[21:40:34] * Ranart turns to Daine. "Yes, one moment sir."

[21:40:38] <+Master_Nym> ::Closes his eyes for a moment as he holds the medallion::

[21:40:52] * +Taenor whispers in her ear very closely just as the song ends, then swats her lightly on the rear again and walks her to the bar.

[21:40:57] <~Bynw> *Tara* "the barkeep had a case of it. no one has been drinking it and its well aged"

[21:41:23] * +Risira blushes quite deeply, deeper than one might think so fair-skinned a girl could blush.

[21:41:32] <Knos> "I see, I'll have to ask him where he got it then."

[21:41:47] * Ranart nods to another girl. She approaches. "Set a bath for our guest please Raina"

[21:42:02] * Knos orders a mug of water and a dwarven ale from the serving maid.

[21:42:56] * +Regan nods at Nym's comment but stays silent, then closes his eyes

[21:43:13] <+Master_Nym> ::Sighs in relief and opens his eyes:: "I would like to impart something to you, a bit of deryni lore. Please take my hand and open your mind." ::extends his hand to Regan::

[21:43:43] * +Regan relaxes and takes Nym's hand

[21:43:49] <+Daine> ::Follows Raina to the bath with intention to use it::

[21:44:20] <Ranart> Raina looks back at Daine and smiles

[21:45:56] <+Daine> ::Eyes Raina apprasingly and smirks at her back, he continues to follow::

[21:46:17] <+Master_Nym> @@::There is a flash of knowledge that passes to Regan from Nym's mind::@@

[21:46:21] * Ranart walks to the bathing room and sets to pour hot water in a large copper tub

[21:46:37] * +Llanth wanders over to where Tara and Knos are and takes up position on the other side of the door. "Since you two will likely be inebriated very shortly, I think I will just sit here."

[21:47:14] * Ranart finishes and starts to help Daine undress, with a smoldering look in her eye.

[21:47:18] * Knos smiles at Llanth "I doubt it. I am on duty."

[21:47:23] <+Master_Nym> ::Hands Regan back the medallion:: "Now use what I've taught you::

[21:47:47] <Ranart> ((Raina))

[21:48:04] * Knos looks at Tara "However if you know of anyother fine drinks like this one let me know!"

[21:48:33] <+Daine> ::Allows Raina to undress him, with a roguish smile. Then without further words pulls her into the bath with him::

[21:49:00] * +Regan holds the medallion in his hand and smiles as he turns it over.

[21:49:22] <+Llanth> "Has she introduced you to the smoldering acid on ice yet?"

[21:49:58] * +Taenor feels something for a moment, then throws up solid steel shields against the intrusion, shutting out the mental images coming from his brother.

[21:49:58] * Ranart is now known as Raina

[21:50:13] * Knos lloks at Lanth "long name for a drink."

[21:50:25] * Raina giggles, but does not try to get out of the tub

[21:50:34] * +Taenor shudders

[21:50:51] <Knos> mister innnocent.... not!

[21:51:20] * +Taenor grumbles about lying moronic heathen infidels who don't know how to keep their hands off of non-heathen women.

[21:51:48] <+Llanth> "Well at least that is what it seemed like to me."

[21:52:42] <~Bynw> *Tara looks up at Llanth* "I assure you good sir. I am not anywhere close to being inebriated" *she takes another drink*

[21:53:04] <+Daine> ::Begins pulling her cloths off:: "I must say the service here is much better then I'm used to."

[21:53:07] <+Regan> "It feels different Master. I seem more aware of it."

[21:53:26] * Knos to Llanth "You look like a fairly heart elf... how did it compare to this?" as he holds up the dwarven ale

[21:53:56] * Raina frowns. "This is not a service. It is my will."

[21:54:32] <+Master_Nym> ::nods:: "As I suspected. It must be attuned to your bloodline. This presents you with a choice student."

[21:54:56] * +Llanth sniffs the drink. "Less.. disgusting."

[21:55:08] * +Regan "Oh?"

[21:55:17] <+Daine> ::Smiles and nods:: "Then let your will be done my lady, as you command."

[21:55:50] <+Daine> ::Kisses her hotly and pulls the rest of her clothes off::

[21:56:03] <Knos> "It was less disgusting than the dwarven ale? I have to try some then; I like this ale"

[21:56:42] <Raina> "Then shut your trap and enjoy, you big lunk!!"

[21:59:02] <+Master_Nym> "I strongly suspect this medallion will allow you to access the Matrix that your ancestor, Ethan the Dark Sun discovered and used. It is tied to your blood. I also strongly suspect that tapping that Matrix at your level of ability would burn your mind out like paper set to flame."

[21:59:20] <+Daine> ::Does just that::

[21:59:58] <+Regan> "Very well. If you will teach me...?"

[22:01:41] <+Master_Nym> ::Smiles warmly at Regan:: "It would take many many years." ::chuckles:: "I recall having this very conversation with one of the Masters that taught me when I first went to the Polaris Matrix."

[22:02:10] <+Regan> "If we link?"

[22:03:06] * Llanth is now known as Elim-Sleep

[22:03:10] <+Master_Nym> ::Nods his head once and smiles again:: "I do not know."

[22:03:28] <+Master_Nym> "Your Family line is no more, correct?"

[22:04:00] * +Regan frowns. "Neither do I master. Neither do I."

[22:04:23] <+Regan> "No. There is another."

[22:05:06] <~Bynw> *Tara chats with both Knos and Llanth while having her meal and drink*

[22:06:26] * Knos sips his ale but drinks mostly the water and finshes his meal while talking with Tara and Llanth; although his eyes are constantly sweeping the room

[22:06:57] * +Risira finishes her wine and then goes looking for Onora, in search of a bath.

[22:08:03] <+Master_Nym> ::Sits back and puts his hand on his chin:: "The Akasha has put the medallion in your hands Student, and brought you to my house. I will trust you to make the choice here."

[22:10:07] <+Master_Nym> "You do not possess the skills needed to use the Matrix to it's full potential. I and the other Masters on the Anadari council have sensed a comming darkness in the near future. Plans are being carried out by this darkness and pieces are being moved by both sides even now."

[22:10:46] <+Master_Nym> "The Matrix here in these mountains could tip the scales dramatically in the favor of one side or another."

[22:11:35] <+Master_Nym> "You must decide, but you must do so now. I suspect Chadwick is here for the medallion as well."

[22:14:12] <+Master_Nym> "This medallion is more than just a key, it can control that Matrix, or so I strongly believe. I do not know much beyond that. One of my former masters warned me not to attempt to control the matrix in Polaris when I was an Apprentice myself."

[22:16:10] <+Master_Nym> ::Raises an eyebrow at Regan and just listens::

[22:17:10] * +Regan relaxes and just thinks on it.

[22:17:16] * +Taenor finishes his food and goes upstairs to sleep.

[22:19:42] * +Nath finishes his meal and moves through the crowd checking on any rumours before heading to be himself

[22:21:03] * +Risira bathes, washes her hair, and beds down in Onora's room for the night.

[22:22:08] <~Bynw> *the crowd thins out until only a few of the patrons remain at night

[22:22:11] * +Daine asks Risira to kindly leave the bathing room and return at a better time

[22:22:53] * +Regan opens his eyes and looks at Nym. "Are you sure that this medallion is for the matrix?"

[22:23:25] * +Daine resumes

[22:24:17] * Raina giggles and keeps Daine busy.

[22:24:53] <+Master_Nym> ::Frowns at Regan:: "As sure as I can be."

[22:25:10] * Luc|Watch has quit IRC (Quit: )

[22:25:12] * +Regan nods

[22:30:05] * +Regan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, then lets it out as he centers himself

[22:31:38] <+Master_Nym> ::folds his arms across his chest and continues to stare, with raised eyebrow, at Regan::

[22:33:16] * +Regan maintains a normal level with his shields as he delves towards, with his mind, to the medallion.

[22:35:47] * +Regan enters into a full rapport with the medallion

[22:36:05] <+Regan> roll 7df+ for MindSpeech

[22:36:06] <+BoxCars> Regan rolls 7df+ for MindSpeech and gets ( )(+)( )(-)( )(+)( ) Great

[22:37:54] <+Master_Nym> ::Pushes back from the table with a small shake of his head, he begins pacing hand on his chin in thought::

[22:39:18] * +Risira has left #teara-adan

[22:39:44] * Bynw sets mode: -v Elim-Sleep

[22:39:44] * Bynw sets mode: -v Taenor

[22:40:40] * +Regan eyes pop open wide as he visibly shakes. He then is somehow flung back over his chair as he tries to assimilate the barrage in his mind. The meallion flies out of his hand as he hits the floor.

[22:41:11] * Knos gets to his feet as he hears a body fall in the room

[22:41:31] <~Bynw> *the medallion hits the floor with a clang*

[22:41:58] * Knos puts his hand on his pistol and moves to the door of the private room

[22:42:29] * +Regan tilts his head towards the medallion, stunned.

[22:42:30] * +Daine looks up for a moment, then shakes his head

[22:42:39] <+Daine> "They can do without me just this once..."

[22:43:12] <+Master_Nym> ::Sighs and moves to stand over Regan, his hands go to his forehead::

[22:43:23] * +Regan winces in pain as his rapport with the medallion continues

[22:43:36] * Taenor looks up, then rolls over and falls back to sleep.

[22:44:36] * Knos knocks lightly "Master Nym? Regan?"

[22:44:39] * +Regan finger ever so slowly, desperately, e medallion.

[22:44:57] <+Regan> *reaches for the medallion

[22:45:51] * +Regan grabs the chain as he winces in more pain, closing his eyes tightly.

[22:46:28] * +Regan lets out a small cry of angony.

[22:46:32] * Taenor has quit IRC (Quit: )

[22:47:02] <+Master_Nym> ::Stands, a look of worry on his face as he gazes down at Regan. He razes his voice:: "We are okay."

[22:48:03] <Knos> "It sounds like some one is hurt should I call Risira?"

[22:48:12] * +Regan pulls the chain towards him as he barely hears Nym's words

[22:48:52] <+Master_Nym> ::Thinks for a moment to himself, leans down to Regan:: "Student do you need help?"

[22:49:44] <+Master_Nym> ::Looks into Regan's eyes and grips his shoulders:: "Do. You. Need. Help?"

[22:50:02] * +Regan shakes his head in the negative

[22:50:52] <+Master_Nym> ::Razes his voice to be heard by Knos:: "No, we are fine. Nothing to worry about, yet."

[22:51:13] <+Regan> roll 7df+ for full shields

[22:51:14] <+BoxCars> Regan rolls 7df+ for full shields and gets (-)(+)( )(-)(-)( )(-) Fair

[22:51:57] * Knos says doubtfully "Ok then.." and returns to the table.
[22:53:04] <+Master_Nym> roll 7df+
[22:53:04] <+BoxCars> Master_Nym rolls 7df+ and gets (+)(-)(+)( )(-)(-)(+) Superb
[22:53:11] * +Regan arches his back as he brings up his shields. Contact is broken and he slumps....completely exhausted
[22:54:30] <+Master_Nym> ::Sighs and kneels near to Regan:: "Are you okay?"
[22:55:37] * +Regan brings the medallion to his chest and looks at Nym. He then nods and says: It is washing away...the pain and exhaustion....
[22:55:59] <+Master_Nym> "That was very foolish."
[22:56:46] <+Master_Nym> "I believe your ancestor saved you."
[22:57:52] <+Regan> "Master"
[22:59:34] <+Regan> "I felt like I was floating. I was floating in a room with a tall, vaulted ceiling....and..."
[23:00:59] <+Regan> "And....there was a beautiful....mural....no, painting or mosaic upon the floor..."
[23:02:05] <+Regan> :: Holds the medallion up to Nym, dragon symbol forward:: "Of this! And I know where it is!"
