Meeting Minutes – 9/9/2000

Imaerasta, Day 9, in the year 5100

[House Phoenix, Library]
The library of the House is a largish room, with the walls completely hidden by bookcases. A wide selection of reading material can be seen from a cursory glance at the shelves. Treatises on science and history stand next to ancient volumes on forest lore and magic. One rather extensive section seems devoted to arms and armor and the many subjects dealing with the arts of war. Locked glass-fronted cabinets hold rare tomes and fragile scrolls and even the odd clay tablet. You also see a spiral staircase, a carved red sandstone pedestal with an ancient volume on it, a trash barrel and a plain wooden tabl with a gold-trimmed modwir plaque on it.
Also in the room: (Lady Evialla who is scribing), Journeyman Ronyo, Arimantis, Guarrin, Hyssopp, Aurach, Lord Shirkon, Moriah, Falicor, Kaliri, Lord Cynric, Lord Kahlmulandr, Lady Elidan, Hierona, Lord Eahlstan, Cryheart, Lord Geijon, Lord Waldo2.

Geijon asks, "Kristing update th' clerk on those changes?"

Cynric says, "I'm not sure."

Waldo2 says, "initially we will have to use what they say as the minimum age until the mechanics are updated"

Elidan says, "ok"

Geijon says, "So th' clerk will accept 5th and 20K, we'll have to invest people who are 10th then manually deposit th' othah 20K til she fixes it, or if she doesn't."

Cynric says, "Heathyranne asks that the hunt leaders please send her a letter concerning the hunt totals. She hasn't heard from some of the leaders in a while. She does have a new scroll address, if anyone needs it let me know."

Geijon says, "Drizzsdt would enjoy that ahm sure."

Elidan asks, "whats her reason behind this insurrection?"

Cryheart says, "aye..sic Drizzsdt on em..tell him they made fun of his name or something"

Geijon says, "He'd run around an' tackle them all"

Shirkon asks, "Dat all on dat. Dids ya wants a report on da maneuvers we helds wid Northern Fury in Ice Mule las nights?"

Geijon nods to Shirkon.

Shirkon says, "I tooks 5 Protectors ta Mule las nights ta meets and does manuevers wid Northern Fury"

Herry asks, "what is Northern Fury?"

Cryheart says, "Mule militia"

Shirkon says, "Trainin wents real well and I thin's we kin mesh well wid em. Valicar be da leader. Alsa gots some ideas ter gives ter Germinal on how ta does some things and alsa how nots ta. Some o' der ideas be goods and some nae sa goods"

Kahlmulandr says, "mainly the handling of the dead i think is one"

Geijon says, "Valicar psuedo leads the remnants of the Wehnimer's Guard and parts of the RR and Solhaven groups."

Falicor asks, "What were his ideas, do you know?"

Hyssopp says, "There is a difference between undead and unlife"

Elidan says, "hmm that is bad"

Shirkon says, "One thin what boddered all o' us was dey leaves bodies an nae takes care o' em. I donna agrees wid dat"

Hyssopp peers quizzically at Shirkon.

Shirkon says, "I means leaves our dead and continue fightin"

Geijon asks, "Handling of our own casulties?"

Geijon nods to Shirkon.

Shirkon says, "Nae makes pickup and gits em outs a der"

Herry says, "Should designate ahead of time who's responsible for looking after the fallen"

Geijon says, "We don't leave our dead."

Shirkon says, "Kin nae agree wid dat part"

Geijon asks, "Is that a point o' contention?"

Cryheart says, "they dinnae make medical contingencies..hmm"

Falicor asks, "So they just leave them there and no one takes care of them, what happens to them?"

Shirkon says, "Der methods a clearin areas o' invaders be real goods doh"

Cynric asks, "Do they need clerics in this militia to just hang around and help when needed?"

Kahlmulandr says, "cept for in the swap"

Elidan says, "I could never leave a fellow Phoenix fighter dead in the field"

You ask, "I'm confused, which group leaves their dead?"

You furrow your brow, probably adding a wrinkle or two in the process.

Shirkon says, "I will reports dat in detail ta Germinal"

Eahlstan says, "the mulers."

Eahlstan nods to you.

Cynric says, "Oh, Mulers."

Elidan says, "tis not good for morale"

Shirkon says, "Well, say we fightin and someone falls, ya donna LK, drag er fog em, ya jist keeps fightin. Dat I canna agrees wid"

Geijon says, "Protectors is a bit too regiment'd actually, we've been workin on makin it more field effecient."

You say, "me eithah"

Kaliri asks, "Shouldn't they just have a medical corps to deal with the dead and injured?"

Shirkon says, "Well, las night was troopers from all 3 units and we dids real well"

Geijon says, "We do, Landing Guard did alsae."

Kaliri says, "But the Fury doesn't."

Kahlmulandr says, "they keep a medic in each group for field heal but not raise just a quick heal to keep fighting"

Geijon says, "Valicar prefers to blast through opposition, pro's and con's."

Shirkon says, "Dey nae even calls out dat someone has dropped"

Elidan says, "every fighting unit should have one healer and one field cleric if possible"

You say, "if I had to ignore a wounded or dead person, I guess I would just have to get fir'd or hung, or whatever it would be"

Geijon says, "My meetin remindah nevah went through, bleh."

Shirkon says, "Guarrin kin tells ya more o' dat group o' Dark Elves, him me source on it. If anyone gots questions on what we dids las nights kin asks aftah da meetin. I gaves em a brief outline, Guarrin, jist her name and her aim.

Shirkon says, "Would likes ta agin commend dem what wents up ta Mule las nights too"

Cynric asks, "Does anyone else have anything they wish to discuss?"

Elidan says, "we need more ideas for events"

You snuggle up to Geijon and rest your head on his shoulder.

Elidan says, "everythink I come up with has been done already"

Elidan flails her arms about.

Geijon says, "used to run the annual wintahfestival around this time, donnae have much fer prizes though."

Cynric nods.

Cynric says, "It is hard to do."

Shirkon says, "Oh, House Onoir also wents wid us"

Elidan says, "I had a great carnival idea but Aspitis already had a carnival"

Guarrin says, "An' willow hall has one comin' up"

Elidan says, "I say that we can have one too, if it be different"

Geijon says, "One can only differ on festival ideas so much. Party is a party is a party, as long as you reach your goals for said party."

Elidan says, "I also thought of a riddle quest"

Cynric says, "I would think that the events would have the house in mind first."

Geijon says, "Seasonal events were always a huge undertaking."

Falicor says, "I got an idea, but if I say it I get whacked"

Elidan says, "spit it out fella"

You say, "Geijon wants to do another famous Trivia Marathon, is what I heard"

Falicor chuckles.

You cough.

Geijon says, "uhm"

Falicor says, "I DO think we should have sime type of riddle thing. Like a riddle to find the location of the next riddle to find a prize. Sumpin like that"

You say, "that was actually verra fun, 'cept for carrying it out was a bit..trying"

Geijon says, "Haephestus suggested a rather unique Pun Contest a few months ago. It's similar to Aspis Bardfest catagory"

Cynric says, "If no one has any pressing matters that wish to be discussed then I shall call the meeting closed until next month on the 4th at 10pm elven."

Cynric says, "Thank you all for coming and stay safe."
