"No, actually not at all, really--I set an Alarm spell to tell me when you two opened your door," Alyria replies with a wink, "Saves a lot of trouble, don't you think?"

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

[SBLOCK]“Certainly does, it also puts my mind at ease that we won’t keep you waiting too often,” Zaeryn replies chuckling a little.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil:[SBLOCK]

"If she dies now, having lost herself to the Taint, then yes, her spirit truly is lost..."

'Perhaps the monks or priestesses here may be able to do something to help her recover some from the taint, though I am not certain such a thing is possible,' Yuriko thought.

"I'm glad, but don't take that as an excuse to be even later," Alyria teases, as she eats some of her toast.

[DrZombie]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]

"We will have a ship ready to take you to Eldiz soon," it says to him, tossing its silver hair back, "Once you get there, you should report to the captain on the ship Hesychia--that is where the expedition shall take place"

Gaius looks up from his meal.
"Thank you. Tell your mistress I'm ready to go."

He looks around.

"Euhm. Where do I sleep? And where do da guards train?"

[SBLOCK]“Of course not,” Zaeryn replies with a mock pout, before winking at Valyssa as he begins to consume a few pieces of the toast, in between bites he asks, “What do you like to talk about over breakfast Alyria?”[/SBLOCK]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*The production of Culana is skillfully performed--the actress playing the title character is particularly good. With five acts and a short intermission after Act III, the play ends tragically with Culana's tearful suicide. At the end, many members of the audience give the performance a standing ovation.*

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
"If she finds help, and her will is strong, it could be contained, so that she may walk the night as herself, but it would still be there, waiting for a moment of weakness...Even so, gaining control over the Taint is sometimes enough to purify the soul such that the spirit will not be lost."
[/SBLOCK]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
"You will be able to sleep belowdecks on the ship, no doubt. And the deck itself is a good place to train, I suppose."

*After waiting for a while, the Pleb leads Gaius out behind the mansion where a Spelljamming ship is floating, a ropeladder sent down for Gaius to climb up.*

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, we could talk about the trip, if you like, where we are right now, and where we are headed. Or about how to use the helm if you ever want to try that. Or perhaps you could tell me a little bit more about yourself, and I would do the same."
