Don't forget...your Oath!

This is a highly cleaned log of events that took place today while in the Commons. The interaction carried on for a good deal past this log. However, I believed this to be the most interesting part of the evening.

Special thanks go out to GM Khaladon, both for his timely handling of the situation and for his portrayal of Lacheis, A NPC character I have met before and love.

I would also like to thank Geremiah, Hashum, Savageheart, Solmarar (Once he got into it), Arastil, Lieya, and many others for helping this event along.

[I've additionally edited further, removed some unnecassary movement, bolded certain things, and corrected Solmarar's horrid spelling of distroy, among others :)]

[River's Rest, Town Commons]
Fresh green grass, green as the greenest emerald, is soft underfoot and a pleasing foreground for a weathered wooden bench resting in the shade of a graceful willow tree. Chirping crickets fill the air and mingle with the voices of folk who stroll through the commons, and on occasion stop to exchange a tale or two with friends they meet along their way. A dusty path to the south and a riverstone walkway to the north are joined by a tall evergreen hedge which borders the edges of the lawn.

Solmarar asks, "Anyone here know if the council can be joined in this town?"

Geremiah asks, "What council?"

Yundah raises an eyebrow in Solmarar's direction.

Geremiah shrugs.

You warily ask, "Of which council do you speak?"

Solmarar says, "The one of light."

You clench your jaw.

Yundah asks, "There is such a thing?"

Yundah peers quizzically at Solmarar.

Geremiah blinks.

You harshly say, "I know of no such organization."

Geremiah shakes his head.

Solmarar suddenly appears to be very nervous.

Geremiah says, "In all my years, never heard of it."

Yundah signals, "Where's the danged Dark Assassins when you need 'em?"

Hashum rubs his right cheek with his left thumb. He is a fellow member of the Council of Light.

report Solmarar should be watched, he is speaking aloud of the council.

Solmarar says, "Dear lord... you people know its real just you wish to keep it a secret because you fear of the dark assassin."

Solmarar says, "Give me a break."

Geremiah raises an eyebrow in Solmarar's direction

SEND[Khaladon] gimme a moment...

Geremiah says, "Tell me more."

Geremiah sits up.

Geremiah nods to Solmarar.

You darkly say, "I would mind your tongue, fool, should you wish to keep it."

Solmarar rolls his eyes.

Hashum asks, "Solmarar, what are you talking about?"

Hashum peers quizzically at Solmarar.

Geremiah says, "I'm curious." Hashum works his fingers under his white crystal crown and scratches his head.

Solmarar looks considerably shaken.

Solmarar says, "If i was afraid of losing my tongue i wouldnt have said anything."

Solmarar nods to you.

Geremiah asks, "So, what is this organization?"

Geremiah nods to Solmarar.

You angrily say, "You will lose much more, I assure you, if you do not quickly come to your senses."

Dhuul scratches his left shoulder with his right pinky. He is a fellow member of the Council of Light.

Geremiah asks, "What do they do?"

Geremiah cocks his head at Solmarar.

Solmarar says, "We sorcerer's only fear one thing.. that is our nightmares."

Solmarar says, "And Ive lost my life many times."

Solmarar says, "My soul belongs to Luukos."

Speaking angrily in Guildspeak, you exclaim, "I am QUITE aware of what can scare a Sorcerer!"

Solmarar appears startled.

Dhuul rubs a long high-collared serpent skin cloak stitched with a dark Luukos symbol.

Hashum shakes his head.

Speaking to you, Geremiah says, "Don't distract him."

Solmarar says, "Well looks like the assassin is here for me."

Dhuul says, "Solmarar...do you like snakes."

You glance at Geremiah.

Solmarar says, "Geremiah... save ya life."

Dhuul pokes Solmarar in the ribs.

Solmarar says, "Dont speak more of it."

You angrily ask, "Assassin?"

Geremiah blinks.

Dhuul shows Solmarar his bronze medallion.

Solmarar says, "I have honor in my deaths."

Geremiah asks, "I should fear them? Who are they?"

Solmarar says, "As all my death's honor my Lord."

Yundah says, "I see no assassin."

Yundah shrugs.

Hashum says, "Solmarar I suggest you shut up I am tired of listening to you."

You angrily say, "Doubtful. If you would realize there is no such conspiracy, you will be quite fine I assure you."

Solmarar appears startled. Yundah says, "I think you've become touched in the head." Yundah nods to Solmarar.

Solmarar says, "No other sees the assassin other then the one that speaks of them."

Dhuul raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

Dhuul gestures at a long high-collared serpent skin cloak stitched with a dark Luukos symbol.

A roiling storm cloud appears above you!

Dhuul opens his mouth to scream, but no sound comes out. The unleashed magical forces in the area coalesce around him!

An incredibly powerful force suddenly rips through Dhuul's body, causing it to explode into tiny pieces!

* Dhuul was just obliterated!

Hashum says, "Oh no."

Yundah says, "Oh oh."

The ghostly voice of Dhuul says, "It hurts."

Hashum gestures at Dhuul.
A luminescent web briefly forms around Dhuul, then fades into the body.

Geremiah blinks.

Yundah nods to Hashum.

Solmarar yawns.

The ghostly voice of Dhuul says, "Ah, thanks."

Geremiah says, "Oh, my ..."

Hashum says, "Sure it's what I do."

Solmarar says, "Dhuul."

Speaking in broken common to Hashum, Lieya says, "Thank for bring life."

The ghostly voice of Dhuul says, "I'll get that snake next time."

Hashum says, "Ouch I don't think I can tend all that."

Solmarar says, "Why.."

Solmarar appears startled.

Yundah asks, "What's the matter, Solmarar? You seem jumpy?"

A trio of hooded dark men wander in. One clips Solamarar with his mace, and he falls to the ground, stunned. Quickly, they tie his hands to the willow tree and his feet to a nearby team of horses. One slaps the rump of the horses and they lunge forward, tearing him in half. His entrails flop to the ground and the men wander off, chuckling.

* Solmarar drops dead at your feet!

* Solmarar just bit the dust!

You sigh.

You say, "These things do happen."

Yundah signals, "That'll teach the pup!"

You say, "It is a rough neighborhood."

You shrug.

Geremiah blinks.

Yundah says, "I think... that Solmarar has felt someone's wrath."

report Well done, sir.

Hashum says, "Well I wanted him to shut up."

Hashum shrugs.

Geremiah asks, "Which way did they run? Did anyone see?"

Yundah nods to Hashum.

SEND[Khaladon] hehe

You say, "Nonsense. The local thugs simply saw he was touched and decided him an easy mark."

Geremiah furrows his brow.

Lieya nods to you.

Goldenranger shrugs.

Goldenranger leans against a weathered wooden bench.

Geremiah sighs.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "If the Poobah wishes I will destroy him on even grounds."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar exclaims, "I do not fear his worthless hide!"

Geremiah glances at Solmarar.

Savageheart signals, "the first rule of the council is... wait no... nevermind."

Geremiah asks, "The whatzat?"

Yundah says, "Solmarar, I think you're gonna get dead a lot tonight."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "My deaths only praise my lord."

You glance at Solmarar.

Speaking to Solmarar, Goldenranger says, "Pooo baaa? Ye mean a rolton? Dey do that."

Speaking to Solmarar, you say, "Perhaps that blow to your head has somehow scrambled your capacity for rational thought."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "NO. The Poohbah is the leader of the Council that I speak of."

Yundah rolls her eyes.

(signal) Such is the fate of all who betray their oath.

Yundah asks, "Pooh bear?"

Hashum points to his left shoulder with his left forefinger. He is a fellow member of the Council of Light.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "Ya thats what many call him."

Yundah asks, "Who is this Pooh Bear?"

You see Solmarar the Cabalist.
He appears to be a Halfling.
He appears to have one foot in the grave and taller than average. He has twitching black eyes and tanned skin. He has a shaven head of titian hair with a black streak running through it. He has a broad face and a flaring nose.
He appears to be DEAD!
He has snapped bones and serious bleeding from the neck.
He is wearing a bronze-hued satin robe stained heavily with blood, a crystal amulet, a plain pink tourmaline clasp, a fine blue tourmaline buckle, a bronze-traced emerald serpent symbol, a green Luukos symbol, a bronze Luukos symbol, a beaded purple leather pouch, a Luukos crested imflass shield, a black opal bracelet, a chiseled fire opal earring, a silver targe-shaped kilt-pin, a moss agate inset silver headband, some torn snake skin gloves, a snake-etched imflass pin, some steel-toed knee-high black boots, some dark leather pants, an engraved fire opal clasp, a gold ring, an auburn backpack, a snake-etched silver alloy necklace, some ragged sea green full leathers, and a dark green satin ribbon.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "He resides in Solhaven."

Arastil snorts at Solmarar.

Arastil clearly asks, "That guy?"

Arastil clearly says, "I wanna put an arrow in his eye some time."

Yundah signals, "Twit won't learn to seal his mouth!"

Arastil begins chuckling at Solmarar!

You say, "This foolish creature must have obviously ate a bad batch of tarts."

Arastil clearly says, "Looks like yer gonna get assassinated again."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar exclaims, "Grand Poohbah! You dare send pitifull assassins to me! I will destroy you one on one... but no! You are too weak to fight me in person as you know my lord Luukos will smite you! YOU WORM!"

Arastil smirks at Solmarar.

Yundah says, "I don't know if we should raise him. He'll be killed again before we're unbound."

Arastil clearly asks, "Luukos?"

Goldenranger says, "Now we know who needs to enter the asylum on Teras."

Arastil waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.

Yundah nods to Goldenranger.

Geremiah says, "The poor fellow seems to have lost his mind."

Arastil clearly says, "He'll only be killed when he's alone."

Arastil nods to Yundah.

Arastil clearly says, "Here in the commons he won't be."

Arastil clearly says, "More than likely."

Savageheart softly says, "Really? he just was."

Savageheart chuckles.

Arastil clearly asks, "Oh?"

Arastil clearly asks, "They change their tactics?"

Speaking to Savageheart, Goldenranger says, "Just passing thugs."

Savageheart softly says, "I mearly make the point he was killed."

Savageheart winks at Goldenranger.

Lacheis leans back.

Solmarar appears startled.

Arastil clearly says, "Hmm...good to know.."

Speaking harshly to Solmarar, you say, "You earn yourself more than death this night, fool. Your Arkati should pass your loyalties to his enemies, as obviously you have the intelligence of a Hill Troll."

Arastil clearly asks, "By who?"

Savageheart shrugs.

Lacheis signals, "Good evening."

Savageheart softly says, "They wore hoods, its so hard to tell these things."

Lacheis signals, "Fools."

Arastil chuckles.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "You are a worthless being! You think killing me will stop me from speading the word of your return! I was there when you were found in the Landing! I watched and laughed as your bathhouse hideout was destroyed! I will again have a posse go to your new hideout and destroy it! ."

Yundah signals, "Evening."

(signal) It most certainly is not.

Lacheis acknowledged your signal.

Arastil raises an eyebrow in your direction.

Lacheis signals, "My name is Lacheis."

Geremiah says, "I couldn't even see which way they went."

Geremiah nods to Arastil.

The sun gently sinks below the horizon, leaving a quickly darkening crimson sky.

You see Lacheis Taurvon.
He appears to be a Dark Elf.
He appears to be very young. He has hazel eyes and black skin. He has very long, black hair.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a well-balanced steel sabre in his right hand.
He is wearing an iron-bound hide shield, an unlaced pleated black silk shirt, a jeweled sabre sheath, some black linen trousers, a wide-brimmed black felt hat, a rugged leather harness, and a dark grey travelling cloak.

Arastil clearly says, "Wow, lively crowd tonight eh."

Hashum nods to Lacheis in greeting.

You nod to Lacheis in greeting.

Lacheis signals, "I am the Grand Assassin of the Council."

You blink.

Speaking clearly to Solmarar, Arastil says, "Except you..."

Yundah signals, "We have one that is defying the rules and speaking of things he shouldn't."

Arastil pokes Solmarar to see if he will move.

Yundah beams happily at Lacheis!

(signal) Silence this fool immediately!

Lacheis acknowledged your signal.

Yundah bows to Lacheis.

(signal) Has has said far too much.

Lacheis acknowledged your signal.

Dhuul pokes Solmarar to see if he will move.

Dhuul says, "He has been silenced."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar exclaims, "You will suffer for every death that is passed upon me!"

Lacheis says, "Solmarar."

Arastil leans against a graceful willow tree.

Lacheis says, "I am here to remove your tongue."

Geremiah begins chuckling at Arastil!

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "Try me."

Lacheis says, "And your life."

Arastil blinks at Lacheis.

Dhuul begins chuckling at Lacheis!

Dhuul exclaims, "Don't threaten!"

Dhuul pokes Lacheis in the ribs.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "And your life will be worse."

You say, "The latter has been done once before."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "Your death will come faster."

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "Then any other."

You say, "The former should prove quite useful, however."

Lacheis says, "Truly."

You glance at Solmarar.

Arastil clearly says, "Eh? why'd ya wanna do that? He already has goons after him."

Lacheis chuckles.

Arastil nods to Lacheis.

Dhuul pushes on Lacheis without much success.

Dhuul sighs.

Lacheis gives Dhuul a harsh shove!

Dhuul falls down!

Lacheis growls, "Get out of my way!"

Dhuul stands up.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "As your life will be sacrificed for all to see."

Dhuul says, "Eh."

Dhuul exclaims, "Bow down to me!" Dhuul chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...

Dhuul gestures at Lacheis.
CS: +243 - TD: +296 + CvA: +19 + d100: +79 - -5 == +50
Warded off!

Dhuul shrieks!

Dhuul just wandered down a dusty path.

Lacheis scowls.

Arastil clearly asks, "Oooh, you're one of the goons huh?"

The ghostly voice of Solmarar exclaims, "I will have your hideout shown!"

Lacheis signals, "Fools, truly."

Arastil clearly says, "I get it now..."

Hashum says, "I hate assassins, they has no honor."

Yundah signals, "All need castration of the tongue!"

(signal) It would be best for the lot of these fools to be purged from Elanthia.

Lacheis acknowledged your signal.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "Nope."

Lacheis says, "Make this garbage heap alive so I can end his existance."

Yundah nods to Lacheis.

The ghostly voice of Solmarar says, "They are only worms hiding in shadows for the Council of Light."

Hashum looks over at Lacheis and shakes his head.

Hashum exclaims, "I won't do it!"

You glance at Yundah.

Yundah says, "As you command."

Yundah raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

The ghostly voice of Solmarar exclaims, "In which they only steal souls!"

Yundah raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

Yundah gestures at Solmarar.
A silvery translucent thread extends from Yundah encompassing Solmarar's corpse.

Hashum traces a sign while beseeching the spirits for empowerment...

Hashum gestures at Yundah.
CS: +148 - TD: +152 + CvA: +2 + d100: +39 - -5 == +42
Warded off!

You gesture at Yundah.
A brilliant luminescence surrounds Yundah.

You gesture at Yundah.
A bright luminescence surrounds Yundah.

You gesture at Yundah.
A silvery luminescence surrounds Yundah.

Yundah says, "Just please, do not kill him until he is unbound."

Lacheis leans back.

Yundah raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison...

Yundah gestures at Solmarar.
Yundah suddenly looks very drained.

A bolt of soft white light streaks down from the sky bathing Solmarar in it.

A brilliant glow forms around Solmarar, lingers for a moment, and finally fades. Solmarar awakens looking somewhat confused and seriously drained.

Solmarar seems slightly different.

Lacheis says, "I make no promises."

Speaking clearly to Lacheis, Arastil asks, "Why ya wanna kill him anyway? is he really worth it?"

Lacheis says, "So, you want to try me, fool."

Solmarar exclaims, "You will take me nowere!"

Solmarar stands up.

Lacheis hauls off and slaps Solmarar up'side the head!

Lieya frowns.

Solmarar glares.

You gesture at Solmarar.
CS: +203 - TD: +58 + CvA: +14 + d100: +69 - +20 == +208
Warding failed!
His eyes flash with a searing jolt of light!
He is badly stunned!

You quietly say, "There is no running for you."

Speaking in broken common, Lieya asks, "What happening?"

Lieya frowns.

Solmarar gives Lacheis a friendly slap on the back.

Lieya's wings flutter, trembling slightly.

Arastil clearly says, "Maybe if you let him spout of a while people will think him crazy and just ignore him."

Solmarar gives Lacheis a playful little punch to the shoulder.

Hashum glares at Lacheis.

Yundah signals, "He violates the purity of the Order!"

Solmarar says, "I will distroy you."

Solmarar just kissed the symbol!

Lacheis says, "As a quick demonstraion."

Solmarar softly kisses his Luukos symbol, murmuring to himself.

Arastil clearly says, "Eww."

Lacheis nimbly flips a silvery dagger at Solmarar!
... 20 points of damage!
Nailed in lower back!
He is stunned!
The dagger shimmers and disappears!

Arastil looks at Solmarar and gags. Goldenranger closes his eyes and makes a quick, subtle gesture.

Arastil blinks at Lacheis.

You grin at Solmarar.

Lacheis says, "If you do not think I can end your existance."

Solmarar says, "You are pitiful Lacheis! You attack me in fear ."

Lieya blinks.

Lieya frowns.

Arastil clearly asks, "Can't ya kill him like a normal person would? without the fancy stuffs?"

Lacheis says, "You are truly wrong."

Hashum chants a reverent litany and clasps his hands while tightly focusing his thoughts...

Hashum gestures at Lacheis.
A sickly, violet haze encompasses Lacheis.
CS: +144 - TD: +296 + CvA: +19 + d100: +32 - -5 == -96
Warded off!

Hashum snaps his fingers.

Solmarar exclaims, "Yes it is true!"

Lacheis nimbly flips a silvery dagger at Hashum! ... 25 points of damage! Damaging strike to chest, several ribs shattered! He is stunned! The dagger shimmers and disappears!

Lieya attempts to hide her head behind her fluttering wings.

Yundah exclaims, "Eep!"

Arastil clearly says, "Guess not."

Speaking to Lieya, Goldenranger says, "Best to leave or get out of the way."

Yundah signals, "Not good."

Lacheis signals, "Rather pathetic."

Speaking quietly to Hashum, you say, "Do not interfere with what you do not understand."

Solmarar says, "You can kill me a million times and not stop my quest."

Lacheis loudly chants, "Burzash collo huine!"

As he claps his hands together, a brilliant flash emanates from him!

Your mind explodes in brilliant greens and purples! You realize your eyes are open but you cannot see!

[River's Rest, Town Commons]
Fresh green grass, green as the greenest emerald, is soft underfoot and a pleasing foreground for a weathered wooden bench resting in the shade of a graceful willow tree. Chirping crickets fill the air and mingle with the voices of folk who stroll through the commons, and on occasion stop to exchange a tale or two with friends they meet along their way. A dusty path to the south and a riverstone walkway to the north are joined by a tall evergreen hedge which borders the edges of the lawn.You also see the Pavender disk, a simple maoral chest, an iron-bound tanik chest, a smoke tiger and a large wooden barrel.
Also here: a stunned Lord Pavender, a stunned Drakaz, Lacheis, a stunned Arastil, a stunned Lieya, a stunned Hashum, a stunned Yundah who is sitting, a stunned Solmarar, a stunned Savageheart who is sitting, a stunned Lord Goldenranger who is sitting, a stunned Ravier who is lying down
Obvious paths: none

Lacheis asks, "Do you really think you can beat me?"

Solmarar is able to move again.

The cloudiness in your vision fades as your vision returns.

Arastil clearly says, "Doing that only proves my point.."

Hashum utters a light chant and raises his hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to his aid...

Hashum gestures at Lacheis.
Hashum hurls a roaring ball of fire at Lacheis!
Lacheis evades the bolt!

He is knocked to the ground!

Solmarar says, "I have three others waiting to expose you should I die more then once."

You gesture at Hashum.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around Hashum.

Hashum returns to normal color.

You gesture at Hashum.
A bolt of energy leaps from Hashum to the ground.

You gesture at Hashum.

Warding failed!
His eyes flash with a searing jolt of light!
He is badly stunned!

Solmarar exclaims, "Your clan will not stop me!"

Lieya cowers away from Lacheis!

Yundah signals, "Hashum! Stop!"

Arastil clearly says, "Can't even swing a weapon properly."

Arastil shakes his head.

You gesture at Hashum.
CS: +203 - TD: +116 + CvA: +12 + d100: +96 - -5 == +200
Warding failed!
A ragged wound rips open Hashum's jugular, which begins spurting blood.<

You say, "Now stop, fool."

Goldenranger signals, "Aye Hashum! Ye must remember the order!"

Hashum stands up.

Lacheis says, "Solmarar, you will regret this night for the remainder of your life."

Lieya frowns.

Lacheis says, "No matter how short that is."

Arastil clearly says, "You two are terribly entertaining."

Solmarar says, "Remember this."

Lacheis loudly chants, "Burzash dolen minn ia!

With a deft wave of his hand, Lacheis vanishes into a bright flash and a cloud of dingy grey smoke!

Lieya attempts to hide her head behind her fluttering wings.

Pavender clearly asks, "Who da ell was thats?"

Arastil chuckles.

You shake your head.

Solmarar says, "Others you do not know of."

[Expulsion. Until I find something more accurate.]

-------------------------------------------------
 You sense the thoughts of the Grand Poohbah:
 My child, you have not abided by your vow of
 secrecy and have permitted non-members to identify
 your affiliation. As such, I strip you of your
 powers for all eternity and expel you.
-------------------------------------------------

Hashum exclaims, "You robbed me of my powers now you will pay!"

Solmarar exclaims, "They will have your hide!"

Solmarar appears startled.

You gesture.
A dense fog gathers around you, but soon fills the area.

Arastil clearly says, "They talk about being weak and can't even swing a proper weapon."

Arastil scoffs.

Yundah signals, "Watch your step now. I still feel his presence."

Pavender clearly says, "Nyun care to splain all the grab ass'n? I no like walking into getting stunned."

Hashum snaps his fingers.

You say, "He carved their flesh into ribbons." * Hashum drops dead at your feet!

* Hashum just bit the dust!

You glance at Arastil.

Arastil clearly says, "Bet he couldn't even do it."

You grin at Hashum. >Pavender recites a series of mystical phrases while raising his hands...

Goldenranger shakes his head at Hashum and clucks his tongue.

The ghost of Hashum whispers, "Thanks you kill me." >Dhuul raises a hand while murmuring a soft orison... >Dhuul gestures at Hashum. A luminescent web briefly forms around Hashum, then fades into the body.

Solmarar grows indistinct. Slowly it dawns on you that he isn't there anymore.

Goldenranger signals, "Ye knew better, tis a sad day when an assassin must come out"

You monotonously say, "Such is the fate of those who do not know their place in life."

* Solmarar just bit the dust!

You grin.

Pavender signals, "who da ell is lacheiswhatsits."

Dhuul says, "Aah."

Arastil starts chuckling at you!

Yundah signals, "T'was the Dark Asssissin. He was punishing Solmarar for speaking what is not supposed to be spoken." >Pavender nods to Yundah.

Dhuul signals, "don't fear, I shall destroy the fiend Lacheis"

the ghostly voice of Hashum exclaims, "And I tried to kill her and evarin killed me!"

Yundah signals, "Unfortunately, Hashum defied him."

(signal) Blessed are the gifts of the Council. Those who betray their oath shall suffer fates far worse than death.

Pavender holds his sides and lets out a rumbling belly laugh.

Arastil clearly says, "We all know our place, it's when someone tries to force what they think our place is on us that there's conflict."

You say, "The fool was touched, Hashum."

You say, "In my culture, we euthanize the insane."

You shrug.

Arastil clearly says, "Ones place is defined by himself, not other.s."

You say, "As you just plainly saw."

You say, "Solmarar as learned his place this evening."

The ghostly voice of Hashum exclaims, "Evarin you are going to pay for this i swear!"

You glance at Hashum.

Arastil snorts.

You softly say, "I may."

Arastil yawns.

With a sudden flash of insight, you realize you now understand more of what you have experienced.....

You close your eyes for a moment.

You smile quietly to yourself.

(signal) The Council has repaid my services in full. Know that, and be ever ready to protect what we have earned.

Maleficius signals, "I beg your pardon old boy?"

(signal) As I said, my deeds on the council's behalf do not go unnoticed.

Dhuul just wandered down a dusty path, dragging Solmarar with him. D

Dhuul says, "Here we are."

Dhuul flexes his muscles, doing his best to look strong and powerful.

You hear someone tongue-clucking nearby.

(signal) Just as the words of the Council's enemies bring quick vengeance upon them, so are the actions of the faithful rewarded.

Dhuul acknowledged your signal.
Maleficius acknowledged your signal.
Hashum acknowledged your signal.
Yundah acknowledged your signal.
Savageheart acknowledged your signal.
Ravier acknowledged your signal.
