Mem seems to laugh out loud. It is a delicate laugh, but a sweet one, the kind that would leave an unpleasant flavor in one’s memory. As if she was amused with you, but only in her heart, and when no one else was looking, so that it was only between the two of you and so you could prove nothing of the sort.
“Pelor be no lord of mine.
Irthos, correct mine mistake, but hath not all the vermin verily kept in our cells, at a time or afore in their contemptible lives, paid their homage to Pelor as their deity, where after they did enter their new homes but below us?
Anon, doth Allister Brightstar, Priest of Pelor, seek our help outside of his own god. By what faith should then we judge Pelor or his flock to be lawful or worthy of his namesake? Nay, say I to all this that must be done in secret, like thieves and little men, away from the priest’s very own laws. What we have done thus-far, and rightly so, for the public, and in the public.

((you know, it's not gonna be popular, but you've got a point there... by the way, this guy is NOT a high priest, and the shakespearian is pretty cool, not actually hard to understand either... for me, anyway.))
[Sblock=ooc] occ: This is a cool intro to our job--it's a great way to start Cog =), and I would love to know what the priest wants. Made tjhe edit from high priest btw.
I'm just trying to find a way to get Mem out of the picture so I can rp Es more. U know give Mem an excuse to steelsteal and let the rest of the group go check out everything.[/sblock]

((thank you, tha last time I ran this, the group's response to the box was fireball, eld.blast, barb rage/swing and flame strike... didn't last long... anyways, tell me what you would all like to do the next day, if anything, and (if you don't mind) a brief summary of what steelsteal is please, thanks.))
[sblock=ooc] OCC: no problemo.
1) If you look under Mem mechanics, goto powers sblock section.
2) Click on steelsteal sblock it will tell you how and why Mem uses this power. Want more?
3) Then goto the powers list just below. 5th level power steelsteal. Click on it there is a link at the bottom of the link is the power Steelsteal (full discription)
Hmmm anyone other players around?[/sblock]

(Sorry about the lack of posting- I've been gone all weekend and haven't been able to get to a computer.)
At Mem's words, for the first time in a very long while, a small chuckle escapes Irthos's lips. "Well said, Mem. What can be said of a priest who asks favors of heretics? He must be a very desperate man."
After this, he coughs slightly, and his gaze returns once again to frozen rock, expressionless. "Considering that," he says, in a tone that sounds almost bored, "As Iejir was so quick to notice, this man offered a reward... and if he, a priest of Pelor, has decided to turn to a group such as we, then we are likely his last resort. Our payment could very well be on our terms." He shrugs apathetically.
In direct contrast with Irthos's tone, Iejir laughs aloud at this, a deep grin on his face, his eyes alight. "And if he's got connections within the church, then he's bound to be good for whatever we ask for... and if he's not, then gods know how useful it could be to have a priest of Pelor indebted to us." He laughs again. "Especially if he doesn't want this debt to be public- which is likely, considering our line of work," he finishes, polishing the coin he had been idly tossing on his robe sleeve.

Porthaven
Two hundred years ago, the coastal town of Porthaven was built on a site that was advantageous for trade but both geologically and meteorologically unstable. A volcano in the nearby mountains threatened to erupt and destroy the town, and earthquakes, tidal waves, and hurricanes were common. But the doughty townsfolk stayed and rebuilt after each disaster, determined to make the town prosper.
Via the magic of Khyber Mercane, the harsh windstorms that had previously blown through the valley softened to mild breezes, and the high waves that had battered the shoreline shrank to harmless ripples before reaching the coast. The earthquakes that were once common occurrences no longer shook the land. Even the seasons seemed to even out until the temperatures rarely reached uncomfortable extremes.
The crews of ships now find the calm waters and friendly people of the city a welcome sight, as do many weary travelers along the coast.

tiluvias:wow, and I thought mem was bad... 
ink: thanks for the thorough explanation, will look at the power soon. I like the story, but want the whole place be toned down. This is not FR, level20 is not compulsory
. Honestly, khyber can just be a sorcerer with special access to control weather(hmm... otherwise,say, level 6?) have the mayor be level 1/2 aristocrat, less soldiers and make em level 1 warriors with a few level 1/2 fighters. Knock down the levels of everyone else majorly, as I showed above... again, this is not FR and i want you guys to be special in terms of power level, I quite like the level of power in eberron, for reference. tying the two threads together? That would be messy, sorry, don't want to have to reconfigure the whole thing for eight. Finally, do you realize that the gold limit is about 10 times that of a planar metropolis? Something is wrong... they should not have artifacts in every house. Sorry about the criticism, I do like it, but the whole thing is faaaaar too high-end...
So, fast-forward to the next day? By the way, I'm not concerned about you two not posting much, as you two are the most frequent posters here other than me. LG mentioned why he's not posting, and I have no idea what happened to Ryfte...
