Serpenteye:The Wolf God is retiring the former clerics of Iuz (now without magical powers); while most are sent into administrative work, those who appear potential threats (given their NE alignment, a fair number) are retired in more permanent fashion. In their place, clerics of Al'Akbar's...

"Guilty."

OOC: The Regalia might block all scrying on its target; whether it's a perfect effect, or one defeatable by the efforts of a very high-level divination specialist, is up to the DM. What the Regalia doesn't block is the use of spells which function like Stone Tell: not scrying on a current...

OOC: If magic could do it, a Heal would suffice. And, I assure you, attaching capillaries and nerves to each other takes a lot more than knowing what goes where. Danged things are tiny as all get out.

"I should, at this point, attempt to anticipate arguments regarding later events, and head them off. If it should be determined that Iuz was in breach of the Treaty of Erelhei-Cinlu when he stole the Regalia of Lordly Might from said treaty's founder, it follows that the Brotherhood's actions...

"If the monarchs of Aliador fear my handful of legions, they do so without cause. I have no quarrel with them at this time, nor anticipate one in the future. Should a non-aggression pact be desired, I am more than willing to draft and sign one."

"What you forget, little imp, is that witnesses are not the only way to reveal the truth. Through extensive use of divination magics, my servants have provided a reconstruction of the events in question. Behold!": "Thus, indisputably, the regalia was not taken up for defense, but for...

OOC: I feel obligated to point out that the cosmetic surgery required to reattach hands and keep them from turning gangrenous, let alone be usable, is a fairly recent development; looks like a Tech Level somewhere in the 80s to me. Best of luck with that.

OOC: That assumption would be incorrect. The Scarlet Brotherhood has charged you with actions (as per post #27), and it is that for which you must answer, regardless of Eclavdra's feelings on the matter. It's a crime against the Treaty, not against a member.

OOC: Then, I suppose, as the charges have been levied, we await only the defense. Not that I expect us to stick to American evidentiary patterns; it's more like a good game of Mafia, except when we can play back a tape of Serpenteye saying "Mafia, wake up" and Rikandur pointing at Eclavdra with...

OOC: I don't believe that the Gibenei Affair was voted onto the agenda. After objections from Aerdi and the Wolf God, it was withdrawn from the table, followed by another two opposed votes (totaling 5, for a decisive veto). Otherwise, that agenda appears correct.

"While perhaps prejudicially stated, it is correct that a 2/3 majority of members had voted in favour of dealing with the Iuz affair as soon as the Eclavdor affair was dealt with, which it has been. As Brother Craylor has already presented his case against the Old One, it seems proper that Iuz...

"We are, I believe, waiting upon only three nations: the Iron League (with allies), Aliador (and its thralls), and the Orcreich/Khanate. As that still leaves us with eleven nations, more than a quorum, it would indeed be possible to discuss some business, albeit with the understanding that a...

"I agree that it would be most improper for actual legislative action to occur before all members, or their chosen proxies, have arrived. Nevertheless, I do not see a need to refrain from public speech, provided that it does not degenerate into a verbal or non-verbal brawl. I agree that the...

"I will, of course, request that Iuz be given a chance to defend his actions, either in person or by proxy, yet I must admit such a task would be formidable. It is true that Iuz did remove the Regalia, as noted both a symbol and a means of power, from the disabled founder of the Treaty. He...

"That is a question that must be addressed by the council. One member cannot unilaterally declare another member's citizens exempt from the treaty; that way lies anarchy. When the question is brought up, you may speak on it; until then, let us attend to the order of business. If any have...

The lizardmen look at the mug suspiciously; they do not appear to recognize ale, either by scent or appearance. OOC: Any sign of DM_Matt? I'd intended to give him a chance to respond to Skreg's message.

The Wolf God objects to Faerinala's recommendation, on the grounds that said trial cannot be concluded fairly without a determination of the legal status of the drow who were in question. Trying him before such a determination is made would be an unjust presumption of a crime committed before...

The Wolf God himself comes to the summit, one of his rare public appearances; as always, he is accoutered in the mail which is his second skin, and bears the great blade Grimcleaver. He is unaccompanied; he trusts the scribes of the Triumvirate, and needs no servants for his own needs. Initial...

"I am Khana Vhearshalkhoura, consort and minister to the Wolf God. His counsel is in line with yours: we must not allow the petty struggles of chaotic half-nations to split our forces, weakening us and distracting our watch from the Whispered One's return. As to how this can be done, well . ...
