Good Friends of Wayside!

Questions answered? How does a dead body answer questions?
 
Sir Blacklight, you don't act out of morality, you act out of personal conceit. Morality is based in the needs and wants of the group, and acts toward the betterment of those ideals. You have been outspoken in how little your regard the thoughts of those around you, and how much you reject local officials or their laws. Your inability to see anything but your own position suggests you don't really care about anything but your own selfish, unilaterial point of view. You are not acting in anything but your own capacity as a vigilante deviant. If your cause is to extend order and increase life, why do you act as an agent of chaos and death? As you say, power corrupts: your addiction to death and wrapping yourself in vainglory has wilted your spirit and destroyed your connection with the land. If you were ever a paladin, you are a mere shell of that man now.

Keeper of the Tainted Grove,

a title I must comment on is very... fitting for perhaps your current positioning in this conversation.

however to dispense with formalities, you are absolutely correct I do not act with some notion of morality.. nor did I suggest that I did. I do reject the local authority around here as an absurd notion, its a false pretense to call those in charge actual authoritative. And yes I do fairly off handily disregard the comments of others

My unilateral point of view comes from not walking the fence, I know what the goal is and I drive for it... perhaps one day you can say the same thing instead of pretty words with people.. perhaps one day you too will stand for your convictions and deliver on them in the hard times.

I do act as an agent of Death, you have to come to realize that death I have no quarrels with...as for the Paladin reference.. perhaps you mistook what kind of Order I was from.
 
Sir Blacklight, this goes beyond thy mere distaste for necromancy and is murder of those that disagree with you! Mister, you have thrown yourself off of the fence to fall upon the swords of the side you have chosen. My sympathies, friend. I wish no harm befall you.

~Marcey
 
Sir Blacklight, you are a charlatan and a fraud. If you were the unabashed zealot you say you are, you would have already traveled to Arbor and attacked Guildmaster Simeon Rice and the officials who sanction his research and subsequenly been obliterated in your foolishenss. If you walked so far from the fence as you suggest, you have already thrown yourself into a chaos node rending and tearing at the creatures for which you espouse such hatred. If you truly wished to act as an agent of Order, you would not spend your time attacking townsfolk or speaking libel against harmless travelers, but would have long ago died on the claws of a dracolich.

Perhaps it is cowardice, or perhaps it is a trembling iota of sense which still functions in your mind, but I don't believe you are the creature you show yourself to be in this dreamscape. And, I certainly hope you are not, for you seem to have a strategic mind and a cunning arm, and I would hate to see such resources wasted on a mindless zombie.

It's good to know, Sir Blacklight. More proof that your so called penchant for destroying undead is shallow and unfounded, what you truly crave is murder. It is a shame that you waste your Gift so. As I said before, your zealotry has turned you into what you hate the most, a mindless zombie incapable of thought or reason, an insane ghoul howling for blood. I've fought undead all my life and will continue to do so, but it is a true pain when I see a living person with a dead spirit. What killed you, Knight? How did you fall to this level of sadness and self-delusion?

Khale,
If you want to "resolve" anything.... you will resolve it with me or my Sheriff.

I will not allow you to make idle threats, nor will I tolerate actions which breach the peace we've long worked to establish. I have no wish to see you come to harm or to see your heart further flayed by your own misguided attitudes. In many respects people here in Briarpass look up to you and seek your aproval yet you've made no true ties to this community and have not grown any more quiesent with the slow but positive changes weve seen enacted but rather more impatient, heartbroken, and violent as time passes. This is of great concern to me, and to many that call this small community our home.

I care for you as I care for anyone in this Regency.... what can I or the citizens of Briarpass realisticly do to help you?

Dramthin,

No more replies are needed from you. Your opinions are stated now remove yourself from this conversation without any more than a "Yes Regent Rockfist" or I shall sign the order for your arrest on your arrival in Briarpass. This is not the first time your loud mouth has taken toll on the patience of this Regent. I shall have no further such consequence.

If you wish to speak on this further, I am available to you, in private, anytime before the marketday arrives.



Lord Effram Rockfist
 
Khale, I must admit that is disheartens me to know that your first reaction to someone thumbing their nose at you is to remove the offending thumb, most likely followed by the removal of the offending nose. It seems a most rash course of action. It is however your prerogative to do so, and it is well within your right insofar as no one seems to be able to prevent this regrettable loss of digits and facial features. Thus it would follow if a person is attached to their thumbs and nose they ought not thumb their noses at Khale Blacklight, unless they are wearing good solid gauntlets and a visored helm.

Which further proves the point I've been trying to make, do as thou wilt shall be the extent of the law. The issue of morality is not clearly defined for all, but the matters of action an consequence are less foggy. In this simple example someone chooses to poke a sleeping bear. Certainly there is no force preventing them from doing so, and when they bear wakes the poker obviously deserves whatever happens to them. Perhaps the errant finger should've considered the bears possible reactions before electing to rouse the bear in such a manner.

Now I'm not advocating anarchy or violence, I simply mean to say that if a person would simply consider the consequenses of their actions before they act a great deal of trouble might be avoided.

Khale, you would be wise to consider not your single opponents strength, but the strength of their friends. Many of the citizens of and visitors to the town of Briarpass have little love for you, and would not stand to see you assault their friends. If it's a death at the hands of the masses you want, or a stand against the horde, I can think of a far more noble cause to die for.

To the assemblage, it is known that Khale as a short temper and is quick to resort to the sword. In the past he has raised his sword against enemies to Wayside and to Briarpass, to defend the people there. What is to be gained from turning his ire onto ourselves, when there are so many enemies left to be fought.

On a more personal note. Khale, if your sword demands blood and is driving you to kill, it must be destroyed. There must be foul magic involved to turn a proud warrior into a rabid beast, you are not in your own mind. I wish that you would consent to allowing myself and Lady Mariel to examine the sword and its effect on your mind. I would see you stand once again in the light of honor that I know shines within you.

May we forever be free peoples,
Hennessy
 
I have seen all of your dreams and this again is something that can not be resolved in this realm, only in person face to face will this be settled. I do have one thing to say in response of Master Rice’s question about the 9th circle spell that appeared suddenly. This was a result of Venus retro grade and Mars rising. Venus the star of love moved backwards in the sky and Mars the star of war and violence rose and overtook Venus. Venus thus lost her place in the sky and Mars being so close to Draco the celestial dragon caused an influx of magic to come form the stars. This happens very rarely and this unsual event effected us here.

Liddia FallingStar
 
That would explain its apearance on our Celestial Books... how does one explain the earth magic phenomenon?

Simeon Rice
 
Friend Simeon,

Perhaps, iz Fortannis forcing compromise to de sky expelling power... iz happened before. Flux in sky magic cause sheeft in winds of de earth, dis shift forces de healing energies to rotate deeferently and sometimes backwards... creating extra expulzon of de internal energies uv Fortannis.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I extend my regret and sympathy for the death of the Lady
Vadoma Drabardi Lyuba Josephina Nadya Tsura Domari, and for the lamentable deaths of her family. Lyuba was a kind woman with a heart only matched in size by her trout.

Jonathan Domari, and any other survivors, you may always find shelter in the house of Hennessy. I offer onto you my hospitality and protection.

I believe the creature known as "Lady Death" was responsible for their demise. We destroyed her loathsome form at the scene of this carnage, but I believe she still lives. As I once vowed to end prince Quassim I now vow to destroy Lady Death.

Dearest Lady Death, as I said to Quassim, you have died once by my blade but I have not even begun exact the price for your crimes. You may run Lady Death, and as long as the land tolerates you to stand on her, I shall hunt you. May you find solace in the only in the searing light of day and the peace of your final demise.

Hennessy
Sheriff for the free peoples of Briarpass
 
:cry: At the loss of mi sorella, I do mourn greatly the dearest of losses of the Market Day! Mi sorella, may love and honor keep your name whole fore'er and e'er.

Who is this Lady Death?! What business has she to slaughter the innocent Romani of Briarpass?! She kill mi familia! She must nye live! As I once laid to rest mi fallen fratello Quassim...you as well shall sleep sound beneath a shower of my arrows!

Jonathan Domari and him familia, I would I meet thee. All the more hospitality, ah?
 
Just deserves gotten of being a filty Gypsy!

Joe Thatcher,
Your words are unkind and quite unwarranted. I myself although not a Gypsy have made many friends of that sort. I would vouch for them without hesitation and in particular Marcena is a good friend and kind hearted soul. You should think twice before you say such things.

Marcena,
I am sorry but I believe we encountered the Lady Death after you had to leave Wayside to return to your ship. Henesy, Nanashi, Togashun, Lady Falling Star, and I pounded nearly everything we had into her and reduced her to dust almost as soon as we saw her. In fact I believe it was a somewhat surprising and pleasingly crushing defeat compared to the last time I heard she came to the lands of Wayside and I hope she never returns. I personally unleashed all my undead harming magical items on her. I am sorry the Gypsys were killed but we put as many of them to rest as we could. It was a sad sight. =(

I too am saddened by the loss of yet another with the gift of the Sight. I had hoped to have time to converse on the techniques of seeing the future, and the mystery of the inner eye, but that was not to be.

Go to the ether, good spirit and find your contentment there. We here in the tangible will do what we can to keep to fate's course, and remain good and true.

Whether she was a gypsy or not -- it makes no difference. The adventurers of Wayside will miss her and know loss -- with every missed smile and every twinge of their hungry bellies, if nothing else. Her removal from this plane is a loss, a deficit that will forever effect the fates of those who knew her, and you Joe Thatcher are a scathing reminder to that fact. Show some respect to those of us who mourn the dead and hold your tongue. Keep your politics out of my humanity, and consider the fact that your beliefs, though your own to keep -- are not a sentiment of adventurers. We've enough of our own politics to handle, we don't need you trying to veer us off course with biggotry. I've Seen where paying attention to your sentiments will take us, and it is a dark and convoluted path littered with nothing worthwhile, so you might as well save your breath and instead plan out how you would survive if your treachery were to be inadvertently brought to light.
