XL2

 [17:51] Jeice: This is... unsettling...

 [17:51] Rimblade: "Imagine a mythal in reverse without existing at the speed of potatos!"

 [17:51] Daniel: This is fun.

 [17:51] Little_Brown_Box: Happy faces everyone. Look like you belong at least.

 [17:51] * Iago smiles... a but like a politician

 [17:52] Adam_Hartholm: Heya, Graylord? Can you gag Rim?

 [17:52] * Dyn winces.

 [17:52] * Legault chuckles.

 [17:52] Dyn: "You don't have to call me that."

 [17:52] Dariel: The mumbling like a mad man probably helped

 [17:52] >Ambiance<: There is the sound of metal clanging.

 [17:52] * Malcolm smiles a thin smile and heads closer to the building

 [17:52] Adam_Hartholm: I'll bet.

   [17:52] Dyn: "And I might be able to turn him off, but not gag him."

 [17:52] * Eitak_Razal smiles, she has obiusly had lots of practice at making it look real if it is   indeed fake...

 [17:52] Eitak_Razal: Will he be allright when he's turned back on?

 [17:52] Rimblade: "Hah!  Hah!"

 [17:52] * Lkeas heads after Malcolm, scanning the building for entrances, windows, signs, the   like.

 [17:53] >Ambiance<: A voice can be heard calling "En Garde"

 [17:53] Adam_Hartholm: So, are we going to services, or the party?

 [17:53] Rimblade: "You should know I'm right!"

 [17:53] Rimblade: "It is!  It is!"

 [17:53] >Ambiance<: A voice responds "Point"

 [17:53] Adam_Hartholm: I have no reason to want to go in. I highly doubt that my patron is
 represented inside.
  [17:53] * Legault 's mouth is always covered by a scarf, smiling and frowning is never a problem.

 [17:53] Lkeas: Not sure, Adam..

 [17:53] Adam_Hartholm: As such...

 [17:53] * Legault walks after Lkeas and Malcolm.

 [17:53] Dyn: "There's no reason NOT to go in."

 [17:53] Dariel: There is no god but Eldron

 [17:53] Dyn: "I truely like fine art."

 [17:53] * Adam_Hartholm looks around, trying to figure out where all the noise is coming from.

 [17:53] Iago: "I wish I was healthy, I enjoy fencing"

 [17:53] * Dariel chuckles

 [17:53] * Eitak_Razal wispers, I wonder if God from terra or Chronos of terra are represented

 [17:54] Rimblade: "It's that preist who likes fudge!"

 [17:54] Little_Brown_Box: Aside from the fact that you're, you know, you, Dyn?

 [17:54] Rimblade: "Is it true!"

 [17:54] Dariel: This is primarily a museum

 [17:54] Little_Brown_Box: What if you trip a ward?

 [17:54] >Ambiance<: A cool wind begins to blow tempering the hot afternoon sun

 [17:54] Dariel: To the old pantheon

 [17:54] Adam_Hartholm: Really?

 [17:54] Daniel: A priest? Do you worship Eldron then?

 [17:54] Iago: "Hmm, I wonder about the theology here."

 [17:54] Dyn: "I recall it so."

 [17:54] Eitak_Razal: Ignore the talking hilt...

 [17:54] Dyn: "And I think the inane hilt is right."

 [17:54] * Adam_Hartholm looks at Dariel. "Hello sir." He extends his hand and grins winningly.

 [17:54] * Iago looks at Dariel, "I am a monk, but not of Eldron"

 [17:54] Eitak_Razal: He's "Drunk"

 [17:54] * Lkeas turns to face Dariel. "Oh wow, it's been quite some time since I've had the pleasure, Dariel."

 [17:54] Dariel: I am .. the temple's Proprietor.. it's Curator if you will

 [17:54] Dariel: That is what I do

 [17:55] Rimblade: "Can we go in!?"

 [17:55] Eitak_Razal: I don't belive we

 [17:55] Rimblade: "Can we can we can we can we!?"

 [17:55] Eitak_Razal: 've met, Dariel was it?

 [17:55] Malcolm: can you tell us about the Temple?

 [17:55] Jeice: Which pantheon is this place dedicated to, exactly?

 [17:55] Dariel: I stopped by Master Arden's estate yesterday but you were either not in or indisposed

 [17:55] Dariel: I did have a nice chat with Lady Damsel and some of these here

 [17:55] * Lkeas nods. "I had heard."

 [17:55] Dariel: So then do you wish to go inside the Temple?

 [17:55] Adam_Hartholm: Well, sir, I realize that this is a bit of a
 non-sequitor, but could you tell us where the mercantile district is?

 [17:55] Rimblade: "Yayayayaya!!!"

 [17:56] Dariel: Or are you on your way elsewhere?

 [17:56] Rimblade: "D'you ken?  D'you ken!?"

 [17:56] Adam_Hartholm: We're partygoing.

 [17:56] * Adam_Hartholm glares at the others.

 [17:56] Dyn: "Please, let Lkeas talk.  We're confusing ourselves."

 [17:56] Jeice: We were on our way to the source of the music, but I'm interested in the temple.

 [17:56] Dariel: Ah well there is none of that in the temple

 [17:56] Eitak_Razal: We're looking for a festival, and we were wondeing if it was inside.....

 [17:56] Lkeas: Well... we had been chasing after a Harker who was
 advertising the Festival Fantastique.  Have you heard of it?"

 [17:56] Dariel: The rest of these bounds form the university

 [17:56] Dariel: Beyond to the south and east is the merchantile district

 [17:56] Dariel: beyond that is the seaport

 [17:56] Dariel: and the harbor

 [17:56] Dariel: and the estuary

 [17:56] * Adam_Hartholm grins at Lkeas, mouthing "Thank you."

 [17:57] Dariel: Festival.. fantastique...

 [17:57] Dariel: hmmm

 [17:57] * Rimblade wavers as another connection gives."

 [17:57] * Eitak_Razal tilts her head in a fassion that seems to say "Do
 you guys want to see the temple before we find the fesitval..."

 [17:57] Rimblade: "Runtest1 IamIamIamIamIamIamIam...etc."

 [17:58] * Dariel looks at Iago

 [17:58] * Iago looks back at Dariel, politely

 [17:58] Dariel: "By the by I suggest not admiting that"

 [17:58] * Eitak_Razal wishs Rim had a mouth she could put her hand over...

 [17:58] Eitak_Razal: Not admitting what?

 [17:58] * Rimblade shudders and drops to the ground.

 [17:58] * Iago bows, "I concur, thank you"

 [17:58] Dariel: "The worship of eldron is prescribed by law. The worship of any one else is     proscribed by it"

 [17:58] Dariel: "And that little vowel makes all the difference"

 [17:58] Iago: "As I realized when part of your creed was recited"

 [17:59] Dyn: "Ah.  Is aetheism permitted?"

 [17:59] * Iago bows again, "I did not mean to offend, my apologies"

 [17:59] * Eitak_Razal keeps her mouth shut about her connection to the god chronos of her world..

 [18:00] Rimblade: "Runtest2 IamnotIamnotIamnot...etc"

 [18:00] Dariel: Monotheism is all the vogue

 [18:00] * Adam_Hartholm crosses his arms and taps his foot, but keeps a
 respectful silence as the others continue their respective discourses.

 [18:00] >Ambiance<: The smell of grilled meat begins to become apparent

 [18:00] Jeice: Worship of only Eldron... whatever happened to the rest of the Farpoint?

 [18:00] * Eitak_Razal sniffs. Mmmm...

 [18:00] Dyn: "Ah.  Well, in that case, all hail Eldron."

 [18:00] Lkeas: So is your museum just for historical purposes?

 [18:00] Eitak_Razal: Like the lore master...

 [18:00] Little_Brown_Box: Unless you have an exhibit about a god of
 partying hard in that museum, I must say that I'm not interested...

 [18:00] Dariel: Happened?

 [18:00] * Iago realizes he is fairly hungry, but remains attentive. Intrigued by the theocracy here.

 [18:00] Dariel: Do you want to go inside?

 [18:00] * Iago nods

 [18:00] Dariel: Or stay out here

 [18:00] >Ambiance<: In the distance a bell chimes repeatedly.

 [18:01] Dariel: Ah it is the hour

 [18:01] Jeice: I think I would like to enter.

 [18:01] * Adam_Hartholm shakes his head. "We're looking for the festival..."

 [18:01] Dariel: Sunset in fact

 [18:01] Eitak_Razal: I suggest we take a look, it can't hurt.

 [18:01] Daniel: I definitely wanna check it out.

 [18:01] Legault: As do I.

 [18:01] Rimblade: "Runtest3 Nothingisbutwhatisit....etc."

 [18:01] Daniel: I take it there is a look but don't touch policy on anything inside?

 [18:01] * Rimblade slowly rises into the air, wobbling.

 [18:02] * Iago stands close to Dariel, very interested to enter

 [18:02] Rimblade: "I desire to become very drunk!"

 [18:02] Eitak_Razal: And no lose magic, lest we set off a magic artifact of unimaginambe evil power?

 [18:02] Dariel: "How concerning"

 [18:02] * Eitak_Razal laughs slightly...

 [18:02] Dariel: "I am sure I can bottle you in a cask"

 [18:02] Dariel: "Going inside are we?"

 [18:02] Rimblade: "Gwhahaha.  Satoris Syndrome!"

 [18:02] Dariel: "Have you come to some conscensus"

 [18:02] Malcolm: I believe thats a good idea

 [18:02] Malcolm: lets go inside

 [18:02] Rimblade: "The big hand goes around once!  ONCE!"

 [18:02] Daniel: We're going in.

 [18:02] Eitak_Razal: Lets go in, but leave rim here please...

 [18:02] * Adam_Hartholm throws up his hands in defeat, almost dropping LBB as he does so.

 [18:02] * Lkeas shrugs at Adam. "Well... now that we know where the
 merchantile district is, we can visit there later, how about it?"

 [18:03] Adam_Hartholm: Sounds fine to me.

 [18:03] * Iago thinks about an afterparty

 [18:03] Lkeas: Alright, let's head in.

 [18:03] Eitak_Razal: And the festival will likely be running for a while... if there is one..

 [18:03] * Dyn looks sadly at the building.

 [18:03] Little_Brown_Box: Wow. That just completely killed my buzz.

 [18:03] * Dariel enters the Temple immediately inside is a very large
 room with 4 vaulting stone statues. 2 look vaugely elven 2 vaugely
 human.

 [18:03] * Iago follows Dariel's lead a bit uncomfortably closely into the building

 [18:03] * Rimblade looks around.

 [18:04] Rimblade: "Elves again!"

 [18:04] * Malcolm follows after him

 [18:04] Dariel: This is the main Entry

 [18:04] * Adam_Hartholm follows Dariel in, calling out "Excuse me? Is flash photography permitted?"

 [18:04] * Lkeas tilts her head up, taking in the scene. "Those look familiar.."

 [18:04] Eitak_Razal: Are those statues of any gods?

 [18:04] * Legault follows Dariel's lead quietly.

 [18:04] Iago: "Youre temple is very nice. Reminds me a bit of home"

 [18:04] * Dyn looks at the statues. He sighs.

 [18:04] * Iago chuckles

 [18:04] * Jeice looks at the two elven ones.

 [18:04] Dariel: "Nothing in this area is photosensitive"

 [18:04] Adam_Hartholm: Thanks.

 [18:04] * Eitak_Razal pulls out a camrara she carries and snaps a photo.

 [18:04] Rimblade: "Hah!  Counterweight Elves, eh?  Eh?!  And to WHAT?!"

 [18:04] >Ambiance<: They are in appearance very very similiar but one has lighter colored attire and hair"

 [18:05] Rimblade: "Fizzle that!"

 [18:05] * Daniel examines the work on the statues but resists the urge to touch *

 [18:05] * Dariel whirls about

 [18:05] Dariel: "Where?!"

 [18:05] Malcolm: those are amazing statues

 [18:05] * Dariel appears suddenly quite agitated

 [18:05] Rimblade: "Haha!"

 [18:05] Adam_Hartholm: Counterfeit, select P23.

 [18:05] Lkeas: Where... what?

 [18:05] Dariel: Where is he?!

 [18:05] Rimblade: "Fizzle!"

 [18:05] Lkeas: Who?

 [18:05] Iago: Where is whom?

 [18:05] * Jeice looks at the darker elf.  "Why did people stop worshiping him?"

 [18:05] * Little_Brown_Box flashes like a camera.

 [18:05] Rimblade: "Bob's your uncle when it comes to magic!"

 [18:06] * Eitak_Razal looks at the light haired one..

 [18:06] Dariel: "There are numerous illegal cults of Falerin on Main:

 [18:06] * Dyn looks confusidly at Dariel.

 [18:06] * Eitak_Razal looks at the dark one.

 [18:06] Adam_Hartholm: Hehe.

 [18:06] Eitak_Razal: Falerin..

 [18:06] Adam_Hartholm: Not surprising.

 [18:06] Dariel: "And of course off of the continent where Monotheism is not the rule.. there are many worshippers besides"

 [18:06] * Iago proceeds farther in the temple than the rest of the group, entranced by the building itself.

 [18:06] Jeice: Cult... is a relative term.

 [18:06] Dariel: "The thing is.... many worship falerin just because they refuse to worship eldron"

 [18:06] * Iago still remains in the first room, however.

 [18:07] Rimblade: "Where's Correlleon?"

 [18:07] * Daniel raises his eyebrows but keeps quiet.

 [18:07] Dariel: "Cults on the main land have paladins in them"

 [18:07] Rimblade: "Satoris syndrome!"

 [18:07] Adam_Hartholm: Paladins?

 [18:07] Adam_Hartholm: That term is degenerate.

 [18:07] Dariel: "Lord Eldron's father is said to haev left Caelestia before the second age"

 [18:07] Dariel: "Never to return"

 [18:07] Malcolm: what was his father's name?

 [18:08] Rimblade: "Haha!  Bob's your uncle when it comes to 'em!"

 [18:08] * Iago looks for a door to the main room (sanctuary?)

 [18:08] Rimblade: "Gotta mythallar!?"

 [18:08] * Adam_Hartholm edges over until he stands next to Rimblade, at which point he surriptitiously steps on him.

 [18:08] Jeice: For worshipping the god of good, making all the others illegal seems a bit... counterproductive.

 [18:08] * Dariel Moves north to a large sanctuary. This is the main worship space and is dedicated to the worship of Eldron

 [18:08] Adam_Hartholm: Who says it was Eldron's decree?

 [18:09] * Malcolm follows Dariel

 [18:09] * Rimblade has been stepped on. Several more connections fail, and his outline blurs.

 [18:09] Adam_Hartholm: An act like that smacks of mortal fanaticism.

 [18:09] * Jeice shushes Adam.

 [18:09] * Rimblade slides after Dariel.

 [18:09] * Iago follows Dariel, politely into the sanctuare

 [18:09] * Lkeas follows after Dariel, the awe of the sacred space slowing her pace.

 [18:09] Dyn: "Simple, Adam.  Whossagod?"

 [18:09] Rimblade: "OM!"

 [18:09] * Daniel wanders in and looks at everything inside *

 [18:09] * Jeice walks after Lkeas.

 [18:09] * Adam_Hartholm follows Dariel, supremely disinterested in his surroundings.

 [18:09] * Iago reverently looks at Dariel, "Are there any reverence customs we should attend to?"

 [18:10] * Dariel frowns

 [18:10] Dariel: "It is moral fanatacism"

 [18:10] Eitak_Razal: Moral wah?

 [18:10] Dariel: "The Council is a Theocracy"

 [18:10] Iago: "Clearly"

 [18:10] Adam_Hartholm: Knew it.

 [18:10] Rimblade: "Hehe.  Omnian!  Omnian!"

 [18:10] Malcolm: Very interesting

 [18:10] Eitak_Razal: I'm as confused as a person trying to make sense of rim.

 [18:10] Lkeas: Council?  Is that the same council Arden was swearing about earlier?

 [18:11] Dariel: "Though if you speak that outside these walls loudly or inside them even"

 [18:11] Iago: "Is the council well supported?"

 [18:11] * Dyn sighs.

 [18:11] Jeice: That takes a load off of my mind.

 [18:11] Dariel: "And the wrong ears here.. you will end your life in a
 cell. You need not worry about The'Galin any longer.... for even
 Falerin could not get you out"

 [18:11] Jeice: I thought you might be like the rest of them.

 [18:11] Adam_Hartholm: I've seen this sort of thing before. Luckily, it doesn't seem to have degenerated into a crusade yet.

 [18:11] Dyn: "Dispite the fact that all mortals need something to believe in..."

 [18:11] * Lkeas shivers. "That does not sound pleasant."

 [18:11] Malcolm: thats a grim thought

 [18:11] Dariel: "Society here is decidely progressive

 [18:11] Eitak_Razal: Then we best keep the fact that the lore master is our protecter...

 [18:12] Dyn: "I still can hardly understand why gods allow worshippers."

 [18:12] Jeice: Your prisons are that strong?

 [18:12] Dariel: "But blasphemy is taken as a felony"

 [18:12] Dariel: "A very serious one"

 [18:12] Adam_Hartholm: Of a progressive mindset? Or pregressive in truth?

 [18:12] Dariel: "The latter"

 [18:12] Dariel: "

 [18:12] Dariel: "Their mindset is utilitarian"

 [18:12] * Iago nods in understanding

 [18:12] Adam_Hartholm: But not necessarily liberal, by the sound of things...

 [18:12] *** Nick has joined #epic.

 [18:12] Dariel: Not at all liberal

 [18:13] Dariel: Socialist

 [18:13] Dariel: but not liberal

 [18:13] Jeice: How berserk would they be if someone were to tell them that Eldron and Falerin were good friends?

 [18:13] Malcolm: how many people agree with the Council?

 [18:13] Rimblade: "Erm.  Antisatoris Syndrome?"

 [18:13] Iago: "A Socialist Theocracy, intriguing"

 [18:13] * Legault observes this silently.

 [18:13] * Dyn looks around the room sadly.

 [18:13] * Iago looks to Malcolm and nods along, as he is reiterating his earlier question

 [18:13] Dariel: The thing is every single one of them knows Falerin exists

 [18:14] Dariel: and every single one of them knows eldron does NOT endorse what they are doing

 [18:14] Dyn: "I suppose this is what Eldron meant then, eh?"

 [18:14] * Lkeas tugs at a lock of hair as she looks around the worship
 space. "So why would Falerin have brought us to a place where his

worshipers are not welcome?"

 [18:14] Dariel: but the Church of Eldron is not run by Eldron's clerics

 [18:14] Dariel: The Church of Eldron is run by priests

 [18:14] Malcolm: so they are using the Church to maintain power?

 [18:14] Eitak_Razal: Then we're supposed to over throw the curch?

 [18:14] * Eitak_Razal laughs

 [18:14] Adam_Hartholm: Is there an inquisitorial branch?

 [18:14] * Dariel laughs hysterically

 [18:14] Dariel: You have to be kidding

 [18:14] * Adam_Hartholm shoots Razal a murderous look.

 [18:14] Rimblade: "HAH!  Antisatoris Syndrome!!!  I knew it!  I know it!"

 [18:15] Dariel: The church runs the Millitary, The University, The Government"

 [18:15] Adam_Hartholm: Watch your mouth! That's suicidal.

 [18:15] Rimblade: "Even the funnel cake!"

 [18:15] Legault: Yeah, we'd be over-run.

 [18:15] * Iago laughs, "I'm actually liking this place"

 [18:15] * Lkeas smirks and leans towards Rimblade. "Don't forget the cheese fries."

 [18:15] Eitak_Razal: I took over a whole word... Do you really think i couldn't halde a joke like that..."

 [18:15] Dariel: Eldron has no like for what they do I suspect

 [18:15] Dariel: But eh has no say

 [18:15] Jeice: At this rate, they're going to get themselves annihilated by Eldron.

 [18:15] Dariel: If they were Clerics he could just deny them spells

 [18:15] Malcolm: Dariel, is there a underground movement to overthrow the council and the church?

 [18:15] Rimblade: "cheese fries?  Ah, you mean the Temporis Theory?"

 [18:15] Dariel: but as they are bureaucrats

 [18:16] Dariel: and not clerics at all

 [18:16] Iago: "Can a monk get a position in government, hypothetically?"

 [18:16] Adam_Hartholm: Well, as long as I'm not here when the deity
 gets fed up and starts smiting things, they can do whatever they want.

 [18:16] Dariel: Temple Priests

 [18:16] * Lkeas shudders. "Don't say that, Jeice.. we're not too far from Pinecrest.."

 [18:16] Dariel: No

 [18:16] Dyn: "Hmmm."

 [18:16] * Eitak_Razal leans over to Lkeas, don't bother he's busted...

 [18:16] Dariel: And I am saying far to much

 [18:16] Dariel: It could cost me my job

 [18:16] Legault: Why does he have no say? He's a god.

 [18:16] Malcolm: it could cost us our lives

 [18:16] Dyn: "Well, lead on then.  Let no misfortune befall."

 [18:16] Jeice: A bureaucracy won't save them from uncreation...

 [18:16] Dariel: and bring attention to the fact that I spend a bit to much time in Analla's shrine

 [18:16] Rimblade: "Fizzle!"

 [18:16] Eitak_Razal: Analla?

 [18:16] * Adam_Hartholm nods. "So, you were telling us about the museum."

 [18:16] Dariel: Where Dammit!

 [18:16] Adam_Hartholm: Oh, right.

 [18:17] * Dariel whirls arround again

 [18:17] Rimblade: "Package!!!"

 [18:17] * Dariel seems quite nervous

 [18:17] * Iago walks away from the conversation into the middle of the sanctuary and looks up into the rotunda.

 [18:17] * Adam_Hartholm glares at Eitak again. "That last bit meant he was done talking about it."

 [18:17] Dariel: You know what "seekers"

 [18:17] Daniel: I would be quite interested in heading to the festival I think...

 [18:17] Dyn: "Seekers?"

 [18:17] * Lkeas elbows Rimblade, causing a small welt to form where she

made contact with the hilt. "That's probably a bad buzz word."

 [18:17] Dariel: "I think you are not really after the truth but your own amusement I today"

 [18:17] Dyn: "More like 'Fall-intoers'"

 [18:17] Dariel: "And I suggest you seek elsewhere"

 [18:17] Dariel: "Goodbye"

 [18:17] * Rimblade considers this.

 [18:17] * Dariel turns and walks away

 [18:17] * Adam_Hartholm shrugs. "That depends upon what truths await uncovering."

 [18:17] * Lkeas sighs.

 [18:18] Daniel: I am no seeker.

 [18:18] Legault: Alright, nice seeing you.

 [18:18] Adam_Hartholm: You're not exactly being coherrent.

 [18:18] Malcolm: that won't be good

 [18:18] Jeice: Someone offended him...

 [18:18] * Iago is still in the middle of the sanctuary, and looks a bit perturbed, "What was that?"

 [18:18] Rimblade: "Simple as simple."

 [18:18] * Daniel frowns.

 [18:18] * Jeice groans.

 [18:18] Malcolm: we should think about keeping our mouths shut from here on out, I don't like the way he ran off like that

 [18:18] * Adam_Hartholm mimicks Dariel's voice. "Where is he, dammit?
 Where? Where?" Frowning, he turns and walks towards the door leading

outside.
