"Well... it's probably part of what he keeps trying to teach us."

[18:54] <Iago> Sometimes a shopping list is just a shopping list

[19:29] <Elaith> Fencing is quite interesting. I wonder what kind of fencing is performed. Perhaps we could go and watch a match too?

[19:29] <Legault> I'd doubt it's a fight, you don't call instructions out in the middle of a fight.

[19:29] <Durroth> indeed

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="29" w="" st="on">19:29</st1>] <>Ambiance<> A cool wind begins to blow tempering the hot afternoon sun

[19:29] <Deathbringer> I'd love too.

[19:30] <Durroth> unless your crazy

[19:30] <Necro> Wait, fencing daily... I'm curious... did y'all visit the temple?

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="30" w="" st="on">19:30</st1>] <Iago> Yes

[19:30] <Lkeas> We did, a few days ago.We met up with the gardener and Dariel, the curator.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="30" w="" st="on">19:30</st1>] <Elaith> Nope. This is my first time roaming the city.

[19:30] <Lkeas> Ah well.. some of us did, anyway.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="31" w="" st="on">19:31</st1>] <Necro> Odd...

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="31" w="" st="on">19:31</st1>] <Legault> And Fizzle.

[19:31] <Lkeas> It is something of a marvel, the temple houses statues to several deities, even though the community dedicates their worship to one.

[19:32] <Necro> I'm curious, the weather we expierienced, is it similar to previous days weather conditions?

[19:32] <Durroth> yup

[19:32] <Durroth> previous days have either been sunny or rainy

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="32" w="" st="on">19:32</st1>] <Voice> louder "Gwydion said that it was more perfect then Avalon"<o p=""></o>
[19:33] <Necro> No, I meant the random shifting of the weather in that order

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="34" w="" st="on">19:34</st1>]

• Lkeas tilts her head in the direction of the harker's call. "I think

it's over this way.."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="34" w="" st="on">19:34</st1>]

• Iago follows Lkeas

[19:34] <Lkeas> Anybody spotted Transworld Imports yet?

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="34" w="" st="on">19:34</st1>] <Deathbringer> Nope...

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="34" w="" st="on">19:34</st1>]

• Elaith follows as well. "Nope, but to be honest, I haven't been looking

for it. I've just been enjoying the scenery."

[19:35] <Deathbringer> Such a cheery town... much better than Zelatar...

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="35" w="" st="on">19:35</st1>] <>Ambiance<> The smell of grilled meat begins to become apparent

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="36" w="" st="on">19:36</st1>] <>Ambiance<> In the distance a bell chimes repeatedly.

[19:36] <Iago> "Wow, an hour already"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="37" w="" st="on">19:37</st1>]

• Necro mutters something, taking note to further inviestigate later.

"Guess we better get shopping"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="38" w="" st="on">19:38</st1>]

• Lkeas nods. "We need some chicken, ricotta cheese, and that Martini and

Rossi stuff."

[19:38] <Iago> "Let's go in the next building and asl for directions..."

[19:38] <Deathbringer> That sounds like wine...

[19:38] <Durroth> I think he also asked us for garlic

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="38" w="" st="on">19:38</st1>] <Iago> And Oregano

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="38" w="" st="on">19:38</st1>] <Legault> Mhm.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="38" w="" st="on">19:38</st1>]

• Lkeas scratches her head. "Didn't he say he had spices?"

[19:38] <Durroth> ah

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="39" w="" st="on">19:39</st1>]

• Lkeas shrugs. "Well, we can pick up some extra just in case."

[19:39] <Durroth> maybe he was just talking to himself

[19:39] <Iago> He could always use more

[19:39] <Necro> He did say that we can get whatever

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="39" w="" st="on">19:39</st1>]

• Iago mutters something about god of evil and good housekeeping and chuckles

[19:39] <Deathbringer> We need a desert too.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="39" w="" st="on">19:39</st1>]

• Lkeas scans down the list. "What sort of antipasti would be good?"

[19:40] <Deathbringer> What is an antipasti?

[19:40] <Durroth> appetizer

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="40" w="" st="on">19:40</st1>] <Deathbringer> Ah...

[19:40] <Iago> Brushcetta would be a good Italian starter

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="41" w="" st="on">19:41</st1>] <Lkeas> What's Bruschetta?

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="42" w="" st="on">19:42</st1>] <>Ambiance<> The smell of various baked goods is carried in to the abode.

[19:42] <Iago> Its, uh, tomato stuff over bread

[19:42] <Iago> To put it simply

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="42" w="" st="on">19:42</st1>] <Voice> louder "... the one thing that got me out of my problem." said Dr. Faustus<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="43" w="" st="on">19:43</st1>]

• Iago laughs at the voice

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="43" w="" st="on">19:43</st1>] <Legault> Hehehe...

[19:43] <Lkeas> Tomatoes plus bread works for me.

[19:43] <Lkeas> Alright, what are we doing, are we going to that Festival or getting ingredients?

[19:44] <Necro> I'm fine either way

[19:44] <Iago> Lets just go in the next building and see if we cant knock off a few of these items

[19:44] <Legault> Falerin ordered us to take our time.

[19:44] <Legault> He might smite us if we don't...

[19:44] <Iago> "We should get dessert at the fair"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="44" w="" st="on">19:44</st1>] <Falerin> "I definitely will"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="44" w="" st="on">19:44</st1>] <Falerin> "Severely too"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="44" w="" st="on">19:44</st1>] <>Ambiance<> Oddly falerin does not appear at all present<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="44" w="" st="on">19:44</st1>] <Deathbringer> Ow...

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="45" w="" st="on">19:45</st1>]

• Lkeas laughs heartily. "Well, we've been wandering around town for

neaerly an hour.."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="45" w="" st="on">19:45</st1>]

• Iago looks around

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="45" w="" st="on">19:45</st1>]

• Lkeas follows Iago's gaze, checking out the signs on various buildings.

[19:46] <Durroth> but its fun

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="46" w="" st="on">19:46</st1>] <Elaith> So, to the Festival?

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="47" w="" st="on">19:47</st1>]

• Necro frowns. "Something's up... Whatever, let's head to the

festival"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="48" w="" st="on">19:48</st1>]

• Iago starts in the direction of the festival, examining store signs

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="48" w="" st="on">19:48</st1>] <Lkeas> Alrighty then.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="48" w="" st="on">19:48</st1>]

• Lkeas follows after the others.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="48" w="" st="on">19:48</st1>]

• Legault follows after them.

[19:49] <Iago> "Shouldn't we be close by now?"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="49" w="" st="on">19:49</st1>]

• Deathbringer follows too.

[19:49] <Lkeas> The voices did seem louder..

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="49" w="" st="on">19:49</st1>]

• Elaith follows, obviously not knowing where he's going *

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="49" w="" st="on">19:49</st1>]

• Damsel is leaning against the wall of one of the buildings on their route,

looking troubled.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="49" w="" st="on">19:49</st1>]

• Necro joins the rest of the group

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="50" w="" st="on">19:50</st1>]

• Iago notices Damsel, since he's kind of in the lead, he hurries over to her

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="50" w="" st="on">19:50</st1>] <Iago> "Damsel!"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="50" w="" st="on">19:50</st1>]

• Lkeas perks up at Iago's outburst. "What?"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="50" w="" st="on">19:50</st1>]

• Damsel glances up at the sound of her name and, spotting the seekers, frowns

slightly.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="51" w="" st="on">19:51</st1>]

• Legault watches slightly, "... Huh."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="51" w="" st="on">19:51</st1>]

• Iago is happy to see her after she calmed him down last night.

"Hey!" he comes within about 100 meters of her

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="51" w="" st="on">19:51</st1>] <Elaith> Damsel! Are you alright?

[19:51] <Durroth> Hiya damsel

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="51" w="" st="on">19:51</st1>]

• Lkeas jogs to catch up, then slows to a halt a little ways away, noting her expression.

[19:51] <Lkeas> I missed you last night.. they told me you went home..

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="52" w="" st="on">19:52</st1>]

• Necro follows the rest, but staying back slightly, waiting and observing

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="52" w="" st="on">19:52</st1>]

• Iago lets Lkeas take the lead, following her

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="52" w="" st="on">19:52</st1>]

• Deathbringer stays with Necro.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="52" w="" st="on">19:52</st1>]

• Damsel sighs softly and pushes off the wall gently to come to a more freely

standing position. "I apparently am unable to leave this realm."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="53" w="" st="on">19:53</st1>] <Necro> Odd... why?

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="53" w="" st="on">19:53</st1>]

• Legault keeps his distance, still feeling slightly guilty about last night.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="53" w="" st="on">19:53</st1>]

• Lkeas frowns slightly. "Sorry to hear you couldn't make your

destination... we're trying to get out and enjoy our new locale, actually."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="53" w="" st="on">19:53</st1>]

• Lkeas gestures to the other Seekers."We're on a mission to find some groceries!"

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="53" w="" st="on">19:53</st1>]

• Damsel shrugs, obviously frustrated though she appears to have had time to

come to grips with it.

[19:54] <Durroth> its actually rather fun

[19:54] <Durroth> so far we've been out here an hour without buying a single thing

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="55" w="" st="on">19:55</st1>]

• Elaith frowns. "My apologies. Hopefully later we will be able to

continue our discussion where we left off yesterday. I was really enjoying listening to what you have to say."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="55" w="" st="on">19:55</st1>]

• Parts: Astral (Astral@Caelestia-29984DC1.bb.netvision.net.il)

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="56" w="" st="on">19:56</st1>]

• Damsel appears to consider for a moment, then shakes her head. "I

suppose I shall continue with you and follow you again to the abode. There is really no where else for me to go in this realm."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="56" w="" st="on">19:56</st1>]

• Iago bows slightly to Damsel, "Thank you for your reassuring words last

night. They meant a lot to me"

[19:56] <Durroth> oh! and we have a pet now!

[19:57] <Necro> If you're still interested in last night's discussion, I delved up a tad more infos, and actually have some theories... crude, but still there.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="58" w="" st="on">19:58</st1>]

• Deathbringer watches TruthTruffle flys off his should and over to Damsel's.

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="58" w="" st="on">19:58</st1>]

• Damsel nods her head in acknowledgement to Iago, then turns to Necro. "I

found what may be some interesting tie-ins as well."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="58" w="" st="on">19:58</st1>]

• Lkeas smiles broadly and gives Damsel a quick embrace. "I'm so glad I

got to see you, sister.I wanted to share my experience at the Festival with you.."

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="58" w="" st="on">19:58</st1>] <Falerin> The event that made me say"Holy Crap!"<o p=""></o>
[19:59] <Lkeas> I know you and I had talked about our concerns with unity and all that before..

[<st1 time="" hour="19" minute="59" w="" st="on">19:59</st1>]

• Legault walks towards the front of the group, "Ah... Damsel, I'm sorry

about yesterday."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="0" w="" st="on">20:00</st1>] <Damsel> "I'm still not certain I trust that Festival Fantastique

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="0" w="" st="on">20:00</st1>] <Iago> "I don't either, but I think it might be something worth exploring"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="0" w="" st="on">20:00</st1>]

• Necro preks up at Damsel's last words. "Oh, good, I thought I was the

just being paranoid when I first heard about it. Glad to see I'm not alone"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="0" w="" st="on">20:00</st1>]

• Lkeas nods. "Understandable.I

wouldn't want to force you to go in, just to relay you the vision I had of a possible future, that was presented to me.It gave me such a great sense of hope and energy."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="0" w="" st="on">20:00</st1>] <Iago> "I mean, I'm the one who went crazy about it! But, Damsel, there might be something good in it for you, especially now"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="2" w="" st="on">20:02</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "For the longest time I thought it was a dream still or something. Or illusion magic"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="2" w="" st="on">20:02</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "I am now convinced that it is a probability engine"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="2" w="" st="on">20:02</st1>]

• Lkeas turns at the sound of the voice. "Engine...?"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="2" w="" st="on">20:02</st1>]

• Damsel listens quietly for a moment, then sighs. "Perhaps we should go

about getting these groceries of yours."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="2" w="" st="on">20:02</st1>] <CaelestianCitzen2> A probability engine? But thats impossible there would need to be a serious boost of neurology to power such<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="3" w="" st="on">20:03</st1>]

• Lkeas leans in to Damsel. "You don't think.. David's..?"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="3" w="" st="on">20:03</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "I know but it definitely seems to have the principles... For a moment the mind EXISTS in that other world"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="3" w="" st="on">20:03</st1>] <Necro> What the... Modern Terran advertising techniques but using low tech communications methods?

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="3" w="" st="on">20:03</st1>] <CaelestianCitzen2> Is it just a possible world<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="3" w="" st="on">20:03</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "Oh come on you know better then that kind of rhetoric. All possible worlds can be realized ones too"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "A probability engine..... thats astounding where did it come from"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>]

• Damsel frowns at Lkeas' comment.

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>] <CalestianCitizen2> "Not Caelestia"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>]

• Lkeas frowns as well, following the conversation.

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>] <CalestianCitizen2> "The Technology does not exist here. Psionics is basically nonexistent"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="4" w="" st="on">20:04</st1>]

• Durroth listens intently

[20:04] <Deathbringer> No psionics here...

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="5" w="" st="on">20:05</st1>] <CalestianCitizen2> "I hear its something about psionics not belonging in high fantasy"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="5" w="" st="on">20:05</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "Yeah but he is fine with it so long as the psionics come from a NON high fantasy world.. and since its all connected."<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="6" w="" st="on">20:06</st1>] <CalestianCitizen2> "Well I have a meeting with Fizzle"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="6" w="" st="on">20:06</st1>] <CalestianCitizen> "Good day Melcor...."<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="6" w="" st="on">20:06</st1>] <CalestianCitizen2> "You as well Mordenkainen.... I just hope my student is lucid for once"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="7" w="" st="on">20:07</st1>]

• Lkeas rubs the back of her neck somewhat awkwardly, her face hot."If it was set up by those mirrors.. but

under whose direction?"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="7" w="" st="on">20:07</st1>]

• Damsel shakes her head as the conversation appears to be breaking up.

"That's rather troubling. Even more so than I suspected."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="8" w="" st="on">20:08</st1>] <Deathbringer> Mordenkainen... I wonder if that is the same as the one the spells are named for...

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="9" w="" st="on">20:09</st1>]

• Necro frowns, slightly perplexed but still feeling a negative vibe of some

kind from the conversation.

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="9" w="" st="on">20:09</st1>]

• Lkeas turns back to Damsel. "But sister, if they had malicious intent, I

certainly experienced none of it.I don't know whether they might turn it to ill use later, but my reckless behavior perhaps led me to one of the greater inspirations I've had.."

[20:10] <Necro> But at what cost...

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="11" w="" st="on">20:11</st1>] <Lkeas> Well.. that is the question, I suppose.

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="11" w="" st="on">20:11</st1>]

• Damsel shakes her head. "I'm sorry. I just don't trust it."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="11" w="" st="on">20:11</st1>]

• Iago turns to Damsel, "You shouldn't its far too powerful. But, so far,

it seems to be safe"

[20:11] <Lkeas> I just wish we knew more about the operator.What his intent is.

[20:12] <Iago> I tried to inquire, however rudly, but I was thought the cynic

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="12" w="" st="on">20:12</st1>]

• Lkeas chuckles. "I was labeled that as well."

[20:12] <Deathbringer> I am still confused on how it knows the background on things of otherworlds...

[20:12] <Iago> That was the question that stopped the adventures last night

[20:12] <Necro> This could be serious...

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="12" w="" st="on">20:12</st1>]

• Lkeas shrugs. "I think there's a saying, one should not look a gift

horse in the mouth?"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="13" w="" st="on">20:13</st1>]

• Lkeas sighs contentedly. "I know I shall not take it for granted."

[20:14] <Necro> What actually happened in there... are you sure that the area around you was created, or was it all caused by mental stimulus?

[20:14] <Iago> It was definitely real

[20:14] <Deathbringer> Iam not sure... but things were brought up that I had no knowledge of...

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="14" w="" st="on">20:14</st1>]

• Iago stretches his healed limbs, "very real"
