From Caelwiki

[22:38] * Marrin mutters somethign about the simplemindedness of actually nameing a forest "Lore Forest"

[22:39] Genoclysm: lol

[22:39] Lkeas: lol

[22:39] Leo: ((Remember, Geno. You can never share it with ANYONE))

[22:39] Falerin: People frequently do such things

[22:39] * Marrin is definately amused by it

[22:39] Falerin: It is why they incessantly stick the word new in front of the names of other places

[22:39] Falerin: when labelling new locations

[22:39] Marrin: Yes... we would know that quite well.

[22:40] Marrin: Pilgrems: HEY look! we set out from Plymoth.. and landed in Plymoth!

[22:40] Genoclysm: Heh. Isn't that the truth. Very interesting map.

[22:40] Marrin: We just went out in a circle!

[22:40] Marrin: What does.. Keld mean?

[22:40] Marrin: I hav eheard in another plane it means fire...

[22:40] Lkeas: K'eld?

[22:40] Falerin: K'eld means Walled City

[22:40] Marrin: ah.

[22:40] Lkeas: i assumed as much

[22:40] Falerin: Or Domed City

[22:40] Falerin: In the tounge of the Krathari

[22:40] Genoclysm: Ah, the Drakel.

[22:41] Falerin: er Kruathari

[22:41] Genoclysm: i think...

[22:41] Marrin: There is me, confusing planes again

[22:41] Falerin: Aye the Drakel

[22:42] Marrin: Falerin, many of these places look WONDEROUS to travel to.. have you any favorites?

[22:42] Falerin: K

[22:42] Falerin: Gah

[22:43] Falerin: K'eld Alorin is quite lovely.. their knowledge is quite vast and unique in all of lore

[22:43] Falerin: It is a bit unapproachable tho

[22:43] Marrin: Sounds incredible..

[22:43] Falerin: They broke with traditional Drakel teaching several hudnred years before any other did...

[22:43] Marrin: ah... but not to a roc...

[22:43] Marrin: Oh.. that reminds me.

[22:43] Falerin: They consider Dwarves among the Drakel there....

[22:44] Marrin: Just to clarify... Vinces family took an elemental side, correc.... what?!

[22:44] Falerin: Alas... they learned from me of the death of Sigarin

[22:44] Marrin: Dwarves and drakel?

[22:44] Genoclysm: Is that where Dwakel came from then?

[22:44] Falerin: so I am not sure I am welcome there anylonger

[22:44] Marrin: Sounds... like an amazing city.

[22:44] Genoclysm: oh.

[22:44] Marrin: That is.. upsetting. BUt it seems to be a wonderful place... not far from Stone Deep, correct?

[22:44] Falerin: no not far

[22:44] Marrin: I really must make a point to tame a roc...

[22:44] Marrin: though how it would transverse continents without thermals is beyond me...

[22:45] Marrin: Perhaps a lightening spell...

[22:45] Falerin: They have Moglin and Elves among the Drakel and even Ulgathi.. what the humans call orcs

[22:45] Marrin: Sounds... like a truly amazing city.

[22:45] * Lkeas marvels at Marrin's amazing cartography skills :P

[22:45] Marrin: I can see why you would appreciate it.

[22:45] Genoclysm: I thought orcs didn't get along with them.

[22:45] Marrin: er no... just literary.

[22:45] Marrin: That, in part, Geno, is what is so incredible.

[22:46] Falerin: K'eld Alorin is the closest thing to multicultural utopia as lore has ever known

[22:46] Falerin: It will doubtless be among the first places The'galin destroys in his rampage

[22:46] Lkeas: that's very sad.

[22:46] Marrin: Thats... upsetting. Is there no way to protect it?

[22:46] Falerin: But fairly unavoidable

[22:46] Falerin: He knows of its exitance

[22:46] Falerin: He sent the Brilhado to learn its location specifically

[22:47] Lkeas: hmm

[22:47] Falerin: They captured Sigarin their Dwarven T'Palo

[22:47] Falerin: Used the cold on him....

[22:47] Lkeas: that's terrible!

[22:47] Falerin: I witnessed those events myself

[22:47] * Falerin frowns

[22:47] Marrin: I remember the story... in the histories is it not?

[22:47] Falerin: It is recorded

[22:47] Damsel: Have we no chance to turn The'galin away before he actually attacks K'eld Alorin?

[22:47] Lkeas: i thought the name sounded familiar...

[22:48] * Leo ((pretends fall didn't misspell "existance" as "exitance".))

[22:48] Falerin: None

[22:48] Genoclysm: Will we hear about its fall when it happens?

[22:48] * Damsel sighs sadly.

[22:48] Falerin: Likely not Geno

[22:48] Falerin: As the world at large does not know of any Drakel Cities

[22:48] Falerin: and Alorin is even more hidden then most

[22:49] Genoclysm: So we won't know when his movements entincify... >_<

[22:49] Falerin: No it shall fall to rubble and none shall feel or note it

[22:49] Falerin: But LORE will be lessened for it

[22:49] Falerin: be sure

[22:49] Lkeas: K'eld Alorin will fade into obscurity... and only be remembered should its Histories be recorded...

[22:50] Genoclysm: Falerin, what would be the first step to learning the identity of The'Gallin's current comunicant should we desire to know?

[22:50] * Marrin sighs, wanting to visit it...

[22:50] Falerin: The loss of all that knowledge....

[22:50] * Falerin shudders slightly

[22:50] Genoclysm: Yes, the loss will be terrible.

[22:50] Marrin: Its... a blow to more than just the mind, falerin.

[22:50] Falerin: The'galin's current communicant is Galrick son of Glenn

[22:51] Genoclysm: He isn't destroyed yet?

[22:51] Marrin: Can a deity posess a communicant?

[22:51] Falerin: In theory....

[22:51] Falerin: A deity could use a communicant as an avatar yes

[22:51] Genoclysm: i thought his life (undead or not) would be obver by now.

[22:51] Falerin: a communicant is rather uniquely suited for the purpose in fact

[22:51] Marrin: Then is it a good idea to send Galrik to that pocket of creation?

[22:52] Lkeas: hmm.

[22:52] Genoclysm: over*

[22:52] Marrin: If, say, The'galin were to... posess said man in that pocket...

[22:52] Falerin: You would have to ask the Traveler that question.....

[22:52] Genoclysm: I thought that was the pst though?

[22:52] Falerin: What he did and why,... will be shown soon enough

[22:52] Marrin: And here I was thinking you were the traveller...

[22:52] Genoclysm: Falerin, the description of the Traveler sounds remarkably like you.

[22:52] Lkeas: ...

[22:52] Genoclysm: past*

[22:53] Genoclysm: (I hate making typos.)

[22:53] Falerin: It does? Really? I had never noticed....

[22:53] Genoclysm: Who else looks like you?

[22:53] Falerin: I suppose if I wore a dark robe

[22:53] Leo: ((Darn it, we need to make a facts list to avoid these questions))

[22:53] * Falerin gestures and his suit changes into a robe

[22:54] * Falerin produces a mirror

[22:54] * Falerin GASPS

[22:54] * Lkeas laughs

[22:54] Falerin: "What is he doing in my mirror"

[22:54] Damsel: You know, it's a fine thing to suggest, but don't rant unless you yourself are willing to put in the time.

[22:54] * Falerin gesutes and the mirror vanishes

[22:54] Genoclysm: You didn't realise?

[22:54] * Falerin smirks

[22:54] Lkeas: too funny.

[22:54] * Falerin resumes his normal attire

[22:55] *** Macarisil has joined #755.

[22:55] Genoclysm: Still, if you aren't the Traveler, then how can we go about finding him?

[22:55] *** Marrin has signed off IRC (Killed (Falerin (you are an undead))).

[22:55] Lkeas: ...

[22:55] * Leo laughs.

[22:55] Lkeas: um

[22:55] Genoclysm: Clever kick.

[22:55] *** Macarisil is now known as Marrin.

[22:55] Falerin: It was true...

[22:55] Falerin: It was a Ghost

[22:56] Genoclysm: I know.

[22:56] Falerin: and as everyone knows a Ghost is undead

[22:56] Falerin: So.. there you are

[22:56] Lkeas: quite.

[22:56] Marrin: yes quite irratating, though i do have... several minds within me.

[22:56] Marrin: Though that is a story for another time...

[22:56] Genoclysm: Anyways, about my question a moment ago?

[22:56] Lkeas: haha do you have to change back into the robe to answer it?

[22:57] Falerin: Which... about finding the traveller...?

[22:57] Genoclysm: Yes.

[22:57] Falerin: I can aid that

[22:57] * Damsel starts writing up a large poster with the word "Traveller" in bold, bright colors and an arrow underneath.

[22:57] Lkeas: ...

[22:57] * Falerin gestures and a portal appears... I will send him out

[22:57] *** Falerin has left #755.

[22:57] Lkeas: geez.

[22:57] >Ambiance<: A bell chimes loudly in the distance its note deep and haunting.

[22:57] *** TheTraveller has joined #755.

[22:57] * TheTraveller appears, ghostly at first, but then gestures a cutting motion at his throat and becomes more solid. Even as he does this the bell stops ringing.

[22:57] Marrin: Mmm... interesting..

[22:57] * Lkeas looks at Damsel

[22:58] * Damsel hums as she colors.

[22:58] TheTraveller: Who pray disturbs my rest?

[22:58] Lkeas: rest?

[22:58] * Lkeas throws hands in the air

[22:58] Genoclysm: I wondered if you could assist us in the gathering of knowledge?

[22:58] Lkeas: alright, ask the question then

[22:58] Marrin: Even gods enjoy a mock sleep, Lkeas... I'm sure the traveller does as well.

[22:58] TheTraveller: When you are as world travelled as me darling you are always jet lagged

[22:58] Lkeas: i suppose so

[22:58] * Damsel giggles

[22:59] TheTraveller: Yes indeed.. I am told Therlion slept for eons

[22:59] TheTraveller: Now where were we.... Knowledge... well I suppose I can be of some assistance

[23:00] * TheTraveller fumbles with the collar of his robe a splash of purple cloth visible beneath the collar

[23:00] TheTraveller: Darn thing

[23:00] Lkeas: ROFL

[23:00] TheTraveller: Now where were we... Assistance?

[23:00] *** Macarisil has joined #755.

[23:00] Macarisil: by the GODS thats annoying

[23:00] TheTraveller: Well if you have no questions.. another time perhaps

[23:00] Genoclysm: Two things I was wondering.

[23:00] Lkeas: ask!

[23:01] * TheTraveller points at Marrin

[23:01] *** Marrin has signed off IRC (Killed (TheTraveller (Exorcized!))).

[23:01] *** Macarisil is now known as Marrin.

[23:01] Genoclysm: Why does The'Gallin use comunicants?

[23:01] * Damsel snaps her fingers and starts drawing up a second poser with the word "Falerin" written in bold, bright colors and an arrow.

[23:01] Marrin: And, if he can possess said communicants, is it truly wise to send Galrik to the pocket of creation?

[23:01] * Leo laughs.

[23:01] TheTraveller: They provide convenient vessels for his power..... it is the standard way powers operate on LORE

[23:01] TheTraveller: a good shade superior then the simple clerics of other realms in fact

[23:02] Genoclysm: Why does he follow the standards?

[23:02] TheTraveller: Its a pattern some might consider adopting elsewhere actually

[23:02] Lkeas: is there an advantage to using communicants over golems?

[23:02] TheTraveller: Of course there is

[23:02] TheTraveller: Communicants can think for themselves

[23:02] Marrin: Golems... are generally strict programs

[23:02] TheTraveller: And continue working while the god is attending other things

[23:02] Lkeas: i see

[23:02] Marrin: However, i have read certain spells that can give them artificial life...

[23:03] Marrin: I do not know if said spels would operate on Lore...

[23:03] Lkeas: but what of the risk of the communicant acting against the deity's wishes?

[23:03] TheTraveller: Artificial Life is a messy wicket

[23:03] Lkeas: due to thinking for themselves

[23:03] Marrin: True..

[23:03] Genoclysm: Another thing. The'Gallin is supposed to be very powerful. Why has he not uncreated the elemental Lords?

[23:03] * Damsel taps TheTraveller and, offering him the second poster, asks, "Would you mind holding this for me for a moment please?"

[23:04] * Lkeas stifles her laughter in a piece of pumpkin pie and takes an overly large swallow of cider

[23:04] TheTraveller: That risk is outweighed by the fact that the communicant can do things without direct guidance

[23:04] TheTraveller: A golem not direct possessed can only do mindless tasked

[23:04] TheTraveller: er tasks

[23:04] Lkeas: ah

[23:04] Marrin: what oif the Emet rune?

[23:04] TheTraveller: One directly possessed takes far more of the deities time

[23:05] TheTraveller: Artificial Minds are always inferior to the real product

[23:05] Marrin: coupled with Naud and that of thought.

[23:05] Marrin: Ah... wait thats the binding of the spirit spell...

[23:05] Lkeas: can we assume though that a powerful deity such as The'Galin might employ both communicants and golems?

[23:05] TheTraveller: unless very carefully designed

[23:05] * Damsel snapping her fingers, stands on her toes and reaching above TheTraveller's head holds the poster so the arrow points downward at him.

[23:05] TheTraveller: And then.. they are no longer artificial in any meaninful sense

[23:05] TheTraveller: They are just a new form of life

[23:05] Genoclysm: How would Galrick be able to harm The'Gallin in any way? Are the pockets that strong?

[23:05] Lkeas: hmm

[23:05] * Damsel looks about meaningfully.

[23:05] TheTraveller: With all the attendant problems of any other form of life

[23:05] TheTraveller: Give a being sentience and you give it volition

[23:06] TheTraveller: it is unavoidable

[23:06] * Damsel tucks her crayons and posters under her arm and takes a seat at the table.

[23:06] Marrin: Well travelelr, how can we believe that sending a communicant to act against a deity will not result in posession

[23:06] Lkeas: possession by the deity it is meant to act against, you mean?

[23:06] TheTraveller: Because Marrin... dear marrin... You operate under a misaprehension

[23:07] TheTraveller: 1) Deities have constant watch over their communicants

[23:07] TheTraveller: 2) Deities are omnisicient in regard to their communicants thoughts or intentions especially while the communicant is not in communion

[23:07] TheTraveller: Both of these are false

[23:07] TheTraveller: Completely and utterly

[23:08] TheTraveller: Most deities in fact have several dozen communicants and could hardly watch them all at once if they wanted too...

[23:08] Marrin: I see... but if say Myr and the comminicant were to see each other..

[23:08] TheTraveller: They also generally have extracurricular or direct interests

[23:08] TheTraveller: they must Exist for themselves

[23:08] TheTraveller: not just for their vessesls

[23:09] TheTraveller: By the type Myr of Stone Deep reaches Galrick of Glen... Galrick will have made his choice one way or the other

[23:09] TheTraveller: And I will either assist him in hiding the truth from his god myself.....

[23:09] TheTraveller: Or I will have killed him

[23:09] TheTraveller: Good day friends

[23:09] *** TheTraveller has left #755.

[23:09] >Ambiance<: A bell chimes loudly in the distance its note deep and haunting.

[23:09] *** Falerin has joined #755.

[23:09] * Falerin appears, ghostly at first, but then gestures a cutting motion at his throat and becomes more solid. Even as he does this the bell stops ringing.

[23:09] Marrin: interesting

[23:10] Lkeas: heh.

[23:10] Genoclysm: You are getting sloppy Falerin.

[23:10] * Damsel stands, picks up the poster which reads "The Traveller," and offers it smiling to Falerin.

[23:10] Falerin: Artsy... I think I have one...

[23:10] * Lkeas sighs

[23:10] Falerin: I am never sloppy Genocylsm

[23:10] Leo: The Traveler gave me an eerie feeling. ((Ignoring the fact that it was Fal))

[23:10] Genoclysm: : [01:09] * TheTraveller (falerin@Operator.Caelestia.net) has left #755

[23:10] * Damsel grins and returns to her seat.

[23:10] Falerin: Never Sloppy at all

[23:11] Falerin: Your point being?

[23:12] Genoclysm: Do you and the Traveler share a connection or something?

[23:12] Falerin: I should think so

[23:12] * Damsel 's hits the table, rattling the silverware.

[23:12] * Lkeas grabs a rather large trout and weilds it over Geno's head

[23:12] Damsel: *head*

[23:12] Genoclysm: Meh, oh well.

[23:12] Genoclysm: *covers his head*

[23:12] Lkeas: aaanyway.

[23:13] Lkeas: since you brought it up, Falerin... there's still a big fat question mark surrounding the "agents" of the network

[23:13] Falerin: Genoclysm... my dear man....

[23:13] * Falerin dons the Robe again and gasps

[23:13] * Falerin makes the robe vanish

[23:13] Falerin: vacuousness is amazing

[23:13] Lkeas: you will never cease to amuse me, LoreMaster

[23:14] * Damsel sighs, stands up with both posters, gets behind Falerin, holds both posters above his head, arrows pointint at his body, and JUMPS UP AND DOWN

[23:14] * Lkeas tells Damsel not to bother

[23:14] Genoclysm: So does that mean you are admitting it, or should I still play dumb?

[23:14] Falerin: I admit nothing

[23:14] Falerin: ....

[23:14] Falerin: I deny less

[23:15] Lkeas: that much is certain.

[23:15] * Falerin munches on a pear

[23:15] Falerin: Hot Cocoa anyone.... its belgian

[23:15] Genoclysm: Yes please!

[23:15] Lkeas: belgian chocolate!!

[23:15] * Damsel puts the posters on strings and places them about Genoclysm's neck

[23:15] * Falerin produces a pot of belgian hot chocolate

[23:15] Genoclysm: Damsel, why are you doing that?

[23:16] * Falerin produces the bowl of whipcream again

[23:16] Damsel: I give up

[23:16] Marrin: hmm...

[23:16] Marrin: Belgian?

[23:16] * Lkeas inhales the heavenly aroma

[23:16] Genoclysm: Damsel, I know.

[23:16] Marrin: A one time... associate... of mine had an adopted grandmother that was belgian.. she made WONDERFUL turkey....

[23:16] * Damsel plops down next to the table with an audible *thump*

[23:16] Falerin: Yes from Belgium in the Luxomborgian Galaxy

[23:16] * Marrin mutters obviously slightly insane

[23:16] Leo: Can't... Resist...Urge... I would like some, please.

[23:16] Genoclysm: Did you miss the part where i said "playing dumb"?

[23:17] Lkeas: heh :)

[23:17] Damsel: The problem is, tomorrow someone will come here and mention wondering who the Traveller is.

[23:17] * Falerin produces a set of cups

[23:17] * Marrin sighs suddenly "Sometimes... I wish i had nametags.

[23:17] * Lkeas pins a nametag on Marrin reading "DragQueen of #755"

[23:18] Damsel: So, now you can share your newfound knowledge with them. I've done my part for educating the populice

[23:18] Marrin: Psh... I havent had a female form in ... er.. two hundred years...

[23:18] Genoclysm: Anyways Falerin, how exactly will this pocket plan work? Or at least, what effect will it have on The'Gallin?

[23:18] Marrin: Save on stage.

[23:18] * Falerin gesutres and nametags appear on everyone.... Falerin's however reads. A. Sojurner

[23:18] * Falerin frowns

[23:18] Falerin: "Wrong one"

[23:18] Lkeas: lol

[23:18] * Damsel covers her mouth we her hand and tries not to gaffaw.

[23:18] * Marrin chuckles.

[23:18] * Falerin gestures and its replaced by F. Ardendor

[23:18] Marrin: Are you as me... more than one soul, Falerin?

[23:18] Genoclysm: *chortles*

[23:18] Falerin: More then one mind almost certainly

[23:19] Falerin: And.. given some of my Avatars.... yes

[23:19] Marrin: Ah... this explains the traveller perhaps?

[23:19] Falerin: probably more then one soul too

[23:19] Marrin: Ah... i may be no god.. but i am well aware of the effects of possession...

[23:19] Marrin: Especially when done at birth, often the souls fuse...

[23:19] Genoclysm: Falerin, you've had avatars?

[23:19] Falerin: Though in fact... Falerin contains all of me

[23:19] Marrin: All of you that is you, or all of you that is one aspect.

[23:19] Falerin: My past is not for distribution Genoclysm

[23:20] Falerin: But yes Numerous ones

[23:20] * Damsel proceeds to use her crayons to make her nametag more colorful.

[23:20] Falerin: I am after all a deity

[23:20] * Marrin Marrin's nametag seems to flutter between approximately four names

[23:20] Falerin: Now if you will pardon me my attention is demanded in other realms

[23:20] * Lkeas sighs

[23:20] Lkeas: no agents for me tonight i guess

[23:20] Marrin: Be well. Loremaster.

[23:21] Lkeas: goodnight!

[23:21] Leo: Farewell.

[23:21] Genoclysm: Good bye.

[23:21] * Damsel conforts Lkeas.

[23:21] Falerin: Agent is a title

[23:21] Falerin: and a generic one at that

[23:21] *** Falerin has left #755.

[23:21] Lkeas: The Messenger listed them as a race??

[23:21] Marrin: There are... several definitions.

[23:21] Damsel: And so, he leaves us once again with more questions.

[23:21] Lkeas: bah.
