Destiny's Tears: Varylys (Almost at Chapter 1!)

[Rystil Arden]

"That's a good question. My guess would be that these outlaws who impersonated Trina successfully for that length of time must also have made a convincing show of you and yours heading downstairs, or that people didn't pay you much mind since Trina was serving you."

 

[Keia]

Zykovian leaned over to Mhrazhar and quietly offered in High Praetorian, [High Praetorian] "

"We needed to make a deal to get a ship to even get here and try for the gem, my Mojiin friend. The ability to explore and search for answers is tempered by the need to appease those whose ship we now use. I don't think for a moment that we've given up the search for the Arris and even the other gems. However, we hvae been cautioned to think and reflect . . . perhaps by doing so, gathering more information and not plunging forth blindly, we have an opportunity to do good for Arris and all of the Mojiin."

“Great, then let's find your Trina, and see what she has to say. And meanwhile, we could surely find out by asking your other employees, or some of the patrons, what happened afterwards.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, I think they've already been doing that upstairs with that Rowaini of yours."

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar, not happy, silently hisses. The Mojiin purses his lips leaving one fang just poking out of his mouth. [High Praetorian] "

Spoiler

It looks like we will be separating again. Alire may be going back with you, and Abdiel and I will find our way to Arris to investigate further.

[sblock]I really hate the idea of separating again, not only from the standpoint of a DM, but also as a player. I really enjoy the interaction. [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=FX]Me too. I had figured we could send Abdiel and Alire to get rid of some of the large number of NPCs and that Mhrazhar would want to go after his background Praetorian girl. However, I apparently miscalculated [/SBLOCK]

 

[FreeXenon]

Rystil[sblock]LOL! My single-minded devotion towards the most important mission for Arris. Dropping everything that is less important.

Maybe I should have Abdiel go forth and search for her mentors and elders and I could go back to Eldiz. You can have Abdiel try to convince me that this is the best. Maybe the elders might be skitish with an Zealous Inquisitor about and less likely to answer her call? Abdiel is my voice of reason and since she (the player) has gone Zykovian has sort of taken that place for Mhrazhar.

How does that sound?[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=FX]Sure--unfortunately Keia is going to be more sporadic at posting too now and told me to NPC him a bit to keep things moving, so both your voices of reason are semi-gone [/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Mojiin]"Sister, I think it might be best if I make the journey to contact the Elders alone. As it is, if any of the accusations are true, they have not told them even to Preserver initiates such as myself. I'd imagine they would be a lot less forthcoming in discussing this with an Avenger around, especially since it involves an accusation that they are as bloodthirsty as the Avengers, in their own way. I will contact the Elders, and you must take care of the threat to our people in Eldiz, for fighting the Taij that we can find is the work of the Avenger. Somehow, I think that wherever this 'L' may be, we wouldn't be able to find her anyway--Arris is a big place."[/SBLOCK]

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar hisses loudly and appears quite irate. [Mojiin] "

Spoiler

I do not like this Abdiel. The problem is on Arris as it always has been. The Dragon Lords need to be destroyed as well as all of their minions and anyone that espouses their vile beliefs.

" He shakes is head and is growing more angry by the moment. [Mojiin] "

Spoiler

How can I trust that the Preserver Elders will truly do what is best as our mother has suffered through their inaction. The best that can be done is to destroy every Taij that exists especially the ones on Arris and then we will be free to heal our beloved Mother.

Go. Go then to search out your mentors and your elders and we will join you on Arris once we are done. Hopefully you will have found out something useful for us.

I now have a date with a Praetorian, and some Rose Thorns to save. The rest have a mission of sorts with their Spelljamming Guild to finish.

I will search for a message where my village used to be unless you leave us a sign somewhere else.

"

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Abdiel bows his head slightly and nods.*

[SBLOCK=Mojiin]"I still believe that killing is not the way to end the pain, but even if you wanted to, the Taij outnumber the Avengers, indeed the Valsians outnumber all Mojiin. Trying to kill them all just wouldn't work. There must be a peaceful solution, and I can't accept what 'L' said, that the Preserver's solution is to sit and wait while Arris suffers until all but the Mojiin are dead."

"I shall leave my message where your village once was. Hopefully I will have found information that can aid our cause, my Sister. May Arris protect you and hold you close in the love she shares for all her children."[/SBLOCK]
