brushes herself off, an incredulous look on her face as she turns to Galrick. "You don't remember who you are?"
[20:56] Galrick: "Suddently"
[20:56] * fattywirelord stands up and dusts himself off
[20:56] * Kira groans at the sudden change in velocity
[20:56] *** Damsel has joined #epic.
[20:56] Galrick: "Portals are ... nice"
[20:56] Ness: That was even worse than portal travel
[20:56] * Ness stands
[20:56] *** Mode change "+vv Damsel Jeice" for channel #epic by Falerin-[Asleep].
[20:57] * Nicholas shakes his head. "Gah...."
[20:57] * Galrick stands and presses on the edge of the gem which opens
[20:57] * Galrick falls out
[20:57] * Galrick looks arround
[20:57] * Donto_M falls, and quickly tries to regain his composure. "How the..."
[20:57] * Ness looks around, attempting to determine where he is
[20:57] Galrick: "This is not Deren"
[20:57] * Galrick frowns
[20:58] * Lkeas frowns. "Must be because we weren't in Central Park... where are we?"
[20:58] *** RoD|AFK has joined #epic.
[20:58] Galrick: "Didn't you say we were to land and book passage from Deren?"
[20:58] *** Mode change "+v RoD|AFK" for channel #epic by Falerin-[Asleep].
[20:58] * Galrick sighs
[20:58] *** RoD|AFK is now known as Hadin|Useless.
[20:58] Galrick: "Well then"
[20:58] * Kira looks at Galrick "de-ja-vu...ive heard that somewhere before i think"
[20:58] Galrick: "It seems that instead I have come home"
[20:58] Galrick: "literally"
[20:58] Jeice: Wouldn't "booking passage" mean getting a boat?
[20:58] * Lkeas looks around, her eyes widening slightly.
[20:59] * Galrick frowns and walks slowly away from where the stone Land toward a small city near the beach
[20:59] Lkeas: Are... is this Lolosia?
[20:59] >Ambiance<: It is clear that this city was once a thriving metropolis but is dead now more or less devoid of life.....
[20:59] Galrick: "
[20:59] Galrick: "No"
[20:59] Galrick: "This is Sentar"
[20:59] * Donto_M looks around at the others, shocked, "Why...hello Lkeas, long time. where is this literal home anyw..."
[21:00] * Nicholas takes a breif look around.
[21:00] * Lkeas pads after Galrick, taking in the sight of the rundown city.
[21:00] Kira: so..you remember this location at least?
[21:00] >Ambiance<: Much of the cities buildings have been utterly destroyed. By fire or even worse things....
[21:00] * Ness walks over to Lkeas and whispers to her
[21:00] Galrick: Here stood Darin and Tralin as they fought their way off of Neld
[21:01] Voice: This city is closed. It is after curfew. In the name of the Crown who goes there
[21:01] Galrick: Cerin?
[21:01]

• Hadin looks about quizically for a while, placing himself relative to

where his Workshop ought to be...leaving himself slightly confused and very annoyed at that.
[21:01] Voice: Galrick?!
[21:01] * Lkeas halts in disbelief. "Then you truly are home.."
[21:02] A: man comes out dressed in armor he is literally riding a Frogzard
[21:02] * Jeice 's eyes widen slightly.
[21:02] Donto_M: This place is...astonishing. Horrific...but astonishing.
[21:02] * Damsel strides out from the gem a bit belatedly with Useless' hand in her own, a slight blush upon her cheeks.
[21:02] Galrick: "Since when did you become a Frogzard Knight Cerin. I though you were a Knight of the Crown"
[21:02] * Ness looks at the man
[21:03] Cerin: That I am. However it is a difficult time
[21:03]

• Useless appears to have an entirely innocent air about him, though

his smile is beaming with having finally reunited with his lady love.
[21:03] * Cerin is a very young looking man. Foppish. With a rush of unruly blonde hair nearly white in color.
[21:03] Galrick: "
[21:03] Galrick: "The FrogZard knights are lending their mounts"
[21:04] Cerin: Not lending. They cannot lend. The FrogZard was asked if it would serve as my mount. It volunteered. For the good of all.
[21:04] Ness: Well, I suppose we should try to get to Deren
[21:04] Cerin: I am in charge of the Guard of Sentar.
[21:04] Galrick: What has Vandar withdrawn.
[21:05] Galrick: They had little choice. Attacks on Vandar did not stop at Alorin
[21:05] Galrick: They could not afford the Division
[21:05] Galrick: The troop that was assigned here withdrew to ShadowDeep
[21:05] * Donto_M looks at Cerin, "Cerin, Galrick's memory might be...off in some points."
[21:05] Hadin: "Aye...maybe lad. Let Galrick catch up first, ye never know what he might learn, and then maybe. It would depend on who is who and what is what...since things have evidently changed."
[21:05] Cerin: If you know the answers why ask the questions?
[21:05] Galrick: Just making sure
[21:06] Galrick: So the Crown has taken over Neld
[21:06] * Ness clears his throat "We were supposed to land in Deren, therefor we should try to GET to Deren."
[21:06] * Donto_M looks to Hadin, "A fair point. Just trying to make Cerin more aware."
[21:06] Cerin: such as it is. Most of the citizens have long since withdrawn. This place is accursed. Beyond just the undead that still remain. There are strange monsters. Mutant creatures that stand in the Wake of The'Galin's forces.
[21:07] Galrick: "We need to get to Lolosia"
[21:07] * Lkeas frowns and turns to Ness. "Are we sure that's wise..?"
[21:07] Cerin: can you afford to go to Deren first....? The king will want to see you.
[21:07] * Galrick looks at the Group
[21:07] Kira: why Lolosia?
[21:07] Ness: Why wouldn't it be. It was Falerin's intent we be there, so we should get there.
[21:07] Galrick: "We were not meant to come here....."
[21:08] Galrick: "We were supposed to Leave from Deren. At this point travelling to Deren would be out of the way....As it is with the way time flows I am concerned that we have run out of time already...."
[21:08] Hadin: "No, we weren't...but thinking back I am more sure that you were right about using the blasted thing early."
[21:08] Ness: Why would Falerin lead us astray?
[21:08] Galrick: "We avoided Lisa"
[21:09] Lkeas: Lisa... not quite..
[21:09] Galrick: "Whatever else happens happens hadin"
[21:09] Galrick: "We cannot just second guess ourselves"
[21:09] Galrick: "What do you mean not quite?"
[21:09] Galrick: "Have you seen her?"
[21:09] Lkeas: Lisa visited the estate where the truth seekers stay..
[21:09] Galrick: "Let me guess. She claims to have planned this along?"
[21:09] Lkeas: She said NOVA is aware of our actions.
[21:09] Galrick: Let me tell you something about Lisa.
[21:10] Galrick: She never admits she was outmanouvered and she never admits being wrong.
[21:10] Ness: Galrick....she said you are the Communicant
[21:10] Galrick: And I am Ness
[21:10] Jeice: Ness, this is old news.
[21:10] Galrick: Thats no suprise
[21:10] * Ness shrugs
[21:10] Donto_M: A vessel.
[21:10] * Lkeas chuckles. "Perhaps, but we should still be careful."
[21:10] * Damsel confers quietly with Useless, clearing up a few things while still trying to follow the conversation
[21:10] Galrick: "I intend to be careful"
[21:11] Cerin: We do not have boats bound for Lolosia though... nor can I procure one that can be diverted.
[21:11]

• Ness shrugs again "Perhaps I should have elaborated. Lkeas had a

vision that your returning home would allow the Manifestation to proceed."
[21:11] Galrick: you are a communicant Cerin. Of the water lord.
[21:11] Cerin: Yes. And?
[21:11] Galrick: Make me a portal.
[21:12] Ness: You're a communicant of the Water Lord?
[21:12] * Cerin frowns
[21:12]

• Useless speaks very swiftly yet softly, his entire being almost

yearning with the desire to scurry about this way and that as a ferret now that the air of Lore is surrounding him once more.
[21:12] Cerin: I would like to send you all to Lolosia but the energy required. I cannot spare it I would be incapacitated. There are alot of you....
[21:12]

• Donto_M looks at Ness, "Yes. For safe measure, next time they

something you aren't sure about, go with it. It can work."
[21:12] Galrick: so just send me....
[21:13] Galrick: I will send the Loremaster back to aid them in leaving this place
[21:13] Jeice: Galrick, should at least one person travel with you?
[21:13] Galrick: I am the one who must get to Lolosia
[21:13] * Ness bows low to Cerin
[21:13] * Ness turns to Donto "Hm?"
[21:13] Cerin: I can transport one... anymore and I push resources
[21:13] * Lkeas turns to Galrick, a look of concern on her face. "You said you would not go alone.."
[21:13] Donto_M: Oh, nothing to worry about.
[21:13] Hadin: "I doubt it would save you too terribly much energy, but my workshop *is* north of Vizier Lake...which is not a terribly far trek from Lolosia as I recall."
[21:13] Galrick: "Well then there you have it...."
[21:13] Galrick: "Into battle"
[21:13] Ness: I merely asked to double check, Donto.
[21:13] Galrick: "And I sure as hell won't
[21:13] Galrick: I am going to meet the Traveller
[21:14] Galrick: I have no plans to fight anyone now prophet
[21:14] * Nicholas remains quiet, listening and observing.
[21:14] Ness: In my time on Lore I served the Water Lord, but never had the honor of meeting a Communicant
[21:14] Lkeas: But.. why?
[21:14] Lkeas: What do you plan to do?
[21:14] Jeice: Careful Galrick. Our enemies are rather diligent, and it seems as if they are more than ever.
[21:14] Cerin: Stick arround then. In Tralin's service there is not one but two
[21:15] Galrick: I plan on making my meeting with Falerin
[21:15] Galrick: He will know what to do next
[21:15] Galrick: He always has before
[21:15] * Lkeas scowls. "Have you forgotten your convictions, then?"
[21:15] Galrick: Whatever else happens I trust him
[21:16] Galrick: "Forgotten?"
[21:16] Galrick: "Have you so little faith in me Lkeas?"
[21:16]

• Useless pauses for a moment and whispers aside to Ness. "Be diligent

and faithful, and you might yet meet more, if the life of the Ronin is any indication."
[21:16] Galrick: "I stuck to my convictions to try and aid you"
[21:16] Lkeas: No, of course not, but you appeared confused when we travelled..
[21:16] Galrick: "At the cost of great personal suffering"
[21:16] Galrick: "Confused.. yes.. by life"
[21:16] Galrick: "By how it all turns out"
[21:16] * Ness looks at Useless "Hm?"
[21:17] * Lkeas sighs shakily. "Yes I know, and I owe you greatly for that.."
[21:17] Galrick: "I have not forgotten my convictions and when the time comes I will fight. Now is not that time"
[21:17] Galrick: "Now is the time I find Falerin and find out where we go from here"
[21:17] * Lkeas nods slowly. "Alright.."
[21:17] Jeice: I only wish you could have an escort, Galrick.
[21:17] Galrick: "I have a feeling we will see each other again sooner or later"
[21:17] Galrick: "Perhaps sooner"
[21:17] Cerin: fine... I will send two
[21:17] Donto_M: Hopefully to join in good hopes.
[21:17] Cerin: You owe me though...
[21:18] * Jeice looks at Cerin.
[21:18] Cerin: And I can absolutely NOT afford a third
[21:18] * Damsel looks around at those assembled. "So one other?"
[21:18] * Hadin glances between Cerin and Galrick with interest at this.
[21:18] Galrick: Hadin lives close
[21:18] Galrick: Falerin indicated Hadin is of use on Lore
[21:18] Galrick: Hadin is the logical choice
[21:19] Jeice: If you could Cerin, I'm very grateful. It will put my mind more at ease.
[21:19] Wrakigink: I am from Lore.
[21:19] Galrick: I do not really know you Wrakigink
[21:19] Galrick: Not to disparage you
[21:19] Galrick: but I know Hadin
[21:19] Galrick: and if its a choice between the two of you covering me
[21:19] Galrick: I will take the Artificer
[21:19]

• Hadin grins slightly at this. "I'd be honored, and yes, I do live

fairly close. Close enough that the Hematite Pack might even be called to our side if trouble is a brewin', since they range far enough about the area.
[21:20] Cerin: well then say your goodbyes
[21:20]

• Lkeas nods. "Hadin has a knack for being keen on his surroundings and

understanding events, as well. He will make a good escort."
[21:20] * Damsel nods her head after a quick glance at Hadin and Useless. "It is sensical at that."
[21:20] * Cerin closes his eyes aparently deep in prayer
[21:20] Jeice: See you again soon Hadin, Cerin.
[21:20] Jeice: Er, Galrick, sorry.
[21:20] * Cerin mutters a prayer softly and a Glowing Watery Circle appears
[21:20]

• Donto_M smiles, looking at Hadin, "I'm afraid we never had much time

to know eachother. So do good because I want to be good friends!"
[21:21] * Lkeas looks to Hadin and smiles. "Be well, Artificer. Don't let him get into trouble, if you can."
[21:21] * Wrakigink backs away from the water
[21:21]

• Hadin turns and clasps his hand on Talo-Toecan's shoulder briefly,

then turns to give most of the rest a nod of farewell before grumbling softly with a twinkle of humor in his eye. "Finally get to grab my good cane, too."
[21:21] * Damsel moves to give Hadin a swift hug, knowing that it might not be entirely appriciated. "Take care of yourself until we can meet again."
[21:21] * Jeice chuckles.
[21:21] Donto_M: Galrick, I wish you the best of luck. Don't forget, we will always have faith for you. You are a light of hope in our spirits.
[21:21] Galrick: "Goodbye my true Friends. I have a feeling we shall see eachother sooner then you imagine"
[21:21] * Lkeas then turns to Galrick and embraces him lightly. "Thank you... for everything.."
[21:22] * Hadin ambles over to Galrick's side after pushing Damsel aside. "Ye have my son about, now no need fer that!"
[21:22] * Galrick returns the hug giving a fang filled grin before continuing toward the Portal
[21:22] * Ness nods to Galrick
[21:22] * Galrick nods and walks through
[21:22] * Damsel can't help but laugh at Hadin's reply, giving a quick wave to both him and Galrick.
<a href="http://psyham.googlepages.com/sessionxxviii-hadin">[21:22] * Hadin follows a pace behind Galrick.</a>
[21:22] * Nicholas stifles a yawn.
[21:23] Donto_M: Well everyone, it seems they're gone. I wonder what will happen when our paths cross.
[21:23] * Donto_M starts to look around, "Speaking of paths...where to?"
[21:24] * Nicholas shrugs.
[21:24] Jeice: I imagine we wait until someone comes up with a mode of transportation.
[21:24] *** Ness has signed off IRC (Broken pipe).
[21:24]

• Damsel shrugs slightly after once more joining hands with Useless.

"Well, I'd imagine we shouldn't go far until Galrick has a chance to convey his message."
[21:25] *** fattywirelord has signed off IRC (Vanished: ).
[21:25] >Ambiance<: A black gem stone flies out of the portal even as it dissapears and falls rolling on the Ground
[21:25] >Ambiance<: The Gemstone increases in size 1000 fold
[21:25] * Lkeas watches the two disappear through the portal, and blinks as the gem pops out.
[21:25] Jeice: Ah, I guess that will be our transportation. Do you think so Lkeas?
[21:25] >Ambiance<: A door opens in the gem
[21:25] * Donto_M jumps backward, avoiding the growth, "Well, we have our mode."
[21:25] * Lanfire Dupre walks out of the stone
[21:26] Lanfire: I am to show you back to the Abode
[21:26] Lanfire: Lets get this car moving
[21:26] Jeice: Back to the Abode?
[21:26] * Donto_M stops in his tracks, "Hello."
[21:26] * Lanfire walks back into the stone
[21:26] * Jeice goes to the gem, but lingers to hear an explanation.
[21:26] Lanfire: That was Falerin's instructions
[21:27] * Lkeas grins at the other seekers. "Lanfire is another of Falerin's avatars."
[21:27] * Lanfire Return the seekers to the haven
[21:27] * Donto_M follows hesitantly. Before stepping in, he looks at Cerin, "Beautiful frogzard, take care."
[21:27]

• Damsel smiles slightly. "Well it's be a while since I last visited

there. I imagine there is much I need to catch up on."
[21:27] Jeice: Alright Lanfire. Did he say why?
[21:27] Lanfire: And so I am
[21:27] * Jeice steps in.
[21:27] * Kira sighs "i suppose it is time to get back..i will miss this place tho"
[21:27] Lanfire: Because it is a safe place to wait.... for the time to come
[21:27] Lanfire: Ask me no more questions. I will tell you no more lies.
[21:27] * Useless sighs softly to himself. "Ah well, here today and gone tomorrow, that has been the trend for a while."
[21:27] * Lkeas waves to Cerin as she approaches the door. "Thank you for your assistance, good Knight."
[21:28] * Nicholas sighs, and walks in.
[21:28] Cerin: be careful
[21:28]

• Donto_M frowns, "Well everyone, I suppose this will be my goodbye.
