Ry'leh

Ghyt says (to Morna) ''Lo dere, fallah'

You say 'Morthak shall wait five minutes before starting.'

Morna smiles at Ghyt.

Morna says (to Ghyt) 'Salaam.'

Morna curtseys gracefully to Ghyt.

Morna, right here.
Fastia, right here.
Furboza, right here.
Eridras, right here.
Ghyt, right here.
Aldhelm, right here.

Fastia purses her lips, drawing her hands behind her hack and intertwining her fingers as she peers around the room curiously.

Inside the Temple of Ry'leh
     Soft, rancid earth covers the floors of this desolate place. Scattered all around are the bones of several recognizable races, and a few that are not so recognizable. The smell of mildew and brackish water is all around and mushrooms grow in small clusters here and there. There are two doors set into the northeast and northwest corners of this large hall.

     A rickety altar draped in black adorned with a symbol of Dragoth is here.
     A small cluster of mushrooms grows here.

Aldhelm glaces around the room curiously, and with a last glance at Fastia, sheathes his blade.

Aldhelm stops using a bastard sword etched with runes.

Kingdom: 'If all who wish to join the Mass to the Lord of Decay have come, Morthak shall begin.'

Morthak looks about the room, frowning slightly.

You say 'Seems we have more who wish to attend.'

You sigh.

Chamber of Summoning
   As you enter this room you feel the oppressive feeling that has been
with you through the entire tower leave as if a heavy weight has been
lifted. A huge pentagram has been carved into the floor into the grooves, a
thick red liquid that looks like blood flows endlessly around with life of
its own. The walls and ceiling are bare but bear marks of severe scorching.

[Exits: down ]
     The skeletal remains of what looks to have been a human male lie here.
A small black pony stands here.

Fastia tells you 'Do tell me where you are making a nexus to. Another of my Guardsmen wish to attend.'

You hold a glittering white stone in your hand.

You draw upon the power of a glittering white stone.
It flares brightly and vanishes!
A shimmering gate rises up before you.

Ghyt walks in.

Xiervence has arrived through a shimmering gate.

Xiervence nods.

You tell Fastia 'The same place, Sultana.'

Ghyt says (to You) 'Need more stones or anything/'

You say (to Ghyt) 'Show Xiervnece where we meet.'

You kneel and pray for the blessing of wisdom.

Fastia tells you 'Thank you.'

Ghyt bows to Xiervence.

You cough.

Xiervence bows to Ghyt.

Ghyt walks down.
Xiervence Panaint walks down.

Kingdom: 'There is a gate, the last gate, Morthak shall make at the TaskMaster.'

Aldhelm is surrounded by a white aura.

You say (to Fastia) 'Best tell them to hurry.'

Fastia nods at you.
Morna scans the room slowly from one side to the other.

You say 'If all are here...'

Ghyt looks all around.

Ghyt shrugs.

Fastia tells you 'He is in the Tower. Which way does he travel/'

You tell Fastia 'Down.'

Aldhelm takes a long look at the floor, gathers up his tattered robes, and sits.

Aldhelm sits down on the ground.

You say (to Ghyt) 'Go find her guard, please.'

Eian looks at Fastia.

Fastia glances at Eian.

Ghyt walks northwest.
Xiervence Panaint walks northwest.

You say 'Ah, there they are.'

Fastia says (to You) 'No need.'

You tell Ghyt 'Return.'

Morna nods at Eian.

Ghyt walks in.

Fastia grins slightly at Eian with a nod.

You say (to Fastia) 'You bring a kender?'

Eian says (to You) 'I'm her bodyguard.'

Fastia says (to You) 'You question my protection?'

Eian is in excellent condition.

Aldhelm says (to Eian) 'Suiting.'

Eian crosses his arms across his chest.

Ghyt gets a bowl of gravebone soup from a spirit hoard.

Ghyt eats a bowl of gravebone soup.

Eian says (to Aldhelm Lyghar) 'I thought so too.'

You snort.

Fastia says (to Eian) 'Churmanb, yos?'

You tell Xiervence 'Return.'

Fastia says (to You) (Goblin) 'Your notice said to come in peace and so I have. Do preach, Morthak.'

Eian says (to Fastia TideWeaver) 'Like an eel.'

Morthak takes his place before the altar.

Morthak kneels before it and bows his head.

Morna kneels to a prone position.

Morna sits down and rests.

Morthak murmers a quiet prayer.

Ghyt gets a decanter of endless water from a spirit hoard.

Fastia looks all around.

You pray 'Lord of Decay, may you be pleased by those that come to hear your praise and show their respect.'

Morthak slowly stands.

Morthak turns to the crowd.

You say 'Greetings to you who have come to pay your respects to the Lord of Decay.'

You say 'It is a pity there are none of His fold who have come.'

You frown.

You say 'Regardless..there is much to say.'

You say 'The Lord of Decay's powers are misunderstood by many who do not seek to delve into it's True power.'
Ghyt nods.

You say 'Poison and Decay are not just implements of pain but serve a higher purpose.'

You say 'Poison does not always bring death, nor plagues slay the strong. The powers of the Lord are there to cull the weak.'

You say 'They are a test of ones physical power, they are there to show the strong shall remain'

Leshrak has arrived, riding on a small pony.

You say 'It is this, purification that is the first part of the Lord's blessings.'

Ghyt says 'putrification?'

You say 'No, purification. Separating the weak from the strong.'

Ghyt nods.

You say 'Decay also serves to purify and to humble.'

You say 'All manner of life is touched by decay.'

Morna sits down and rests.

Someone sits down on the ground.

You say 'Without rot mortals would never grow old, their bodies would not wither.'

Ghyt agrees.

You say 'By the service of Turpa's power are Mountains decayed into pebbles. By rot are the trees of the forest turned to new soil.'

You say 'Without decay life we would be as it is and never change.'

You say 'Those who seek to serve the Lord of Decay can do so from warrior to spellcaster in many ways.'

You say 'Let the swordsman slay the weak and let their corpse rot upon the ground to fester and further His will.'

Veriak kills with the army of Bloodlust.

Someone utters the words, 'oculoinfra uizug'.

You say 'Let the assassin bring poison to the weak, separating the weak of mind and body from the world.'

You say 'May the cleric, by his faith, utter the truths of the Lord and send pestilence to all.'

You say 'And may the magus practice the art and create new more powerful poisons for the glory of the Lord.'

You say 'There is but one simple truth.'

Morthak turns to Leshrak.

Fastia kneels and prays for the blessing of wisdom.

You say 'His hand is upon all Mortals of this world.'

Xiervence Panaint walks in.
A nasty looking black charger gallops in.

You say 'Weither they accept it or defy it, they will succumb to it.'

You say 'Morthak asks how many of you know of this worm's Imprisonment?'

Eian shrugs.

Morthak scans the crowd.

Ghyt shakes his head.

You say 'Morthak was imprisoned for his misunderstandings of the Lord and his place amongst the Darkness.'

Eridras smirks, then nods once.

You say 'He works well with His father and serves to further the Darkness.'

You say 'It is easy to see His link with Fatale, from decay follows death.'

Xiervence watches you closely

Leshrak has returned from the void.
Leshrak returns from AFK.

You say 'From Drakkara was he tought the gifts he now brings. '

Aldhelm says (to You) 'I must attend to some matters. May dragoth bless your sermon with his mighty presence, Priest. Farewell.'

Aldhelm stands up.

You nod at Aldhelm.

Aldhelm wields a bastard sword etched with runes.

Aldhelm says (to Fastia TideWeaver) 'I do hope we will converse soon enough, Sultana.'

Aldhelm nods at you.

someone scratches his chin, oddly quiet for one of his race.

You say 'He works well with Devion as well.'

You say 'His plagues hide themselves from view until it is too late for the subject.'

You say 'Already they are doomed.'

You say 'Poison and steath are valued allies.'

You say 'Decay is patient and with that does Vengeance become all the more sweet.'

You say 'For those who follow the Lord know that all things will decay and there in will He have his due. '

You say 'May we now bow our heads in humility before He who touches all things.'

Morthak bows his head.

Ghyt bows his head.

Morna lowers her head.

<1361hp 1088m 281mv>
Fastia lowers her head politely, keeping her eyes open.

You whisper 'Lord Dragoth, we accept the gifts and trials you pass before us. We respect and revere your power.'

someone chews on his bottom lip before slowly bowing his head out of politeness.

You say 'We seek to bring decay and pestilence to all that they may be tried and found strong or die in the attempt.'

You say 'May you be pleased and bless those that seek to do your will.'

You say 'Dragoth bless.'

Morthak raises his head to gaze at those in attendence.

Fastia lifts her head, her hands still intertwined behind her back.

You say (to Leshrak) 'Please stay afterward.'

Leshrak nods at you.

Morna lifts her head and scans the room again.

Ghyt bows.

You say 'To exit, return up the stairwell.'

Ghyt walks northwest.

Morna stands up.

Fastia looks at Morna and Eian, beckoning to each.

Fastia says (to You) 'Well-spoken. Blessed be, Morthak.'

You say 'Northwest, then north and through the door.'

Eridras nods at you.

Fastia TideWeaver walks northwest.
Morna walks northwest.

You nod at Eridras.

Eridras Ka'vanth walks northwest.

You say (to Leshrak) 'You seek to bring Vegence and Rage to Althainia now?'

Leshrak nods at you.

Eridras smirks.

You say (to Eridras) 'Need assistance?'

Fastia TideWeaver walks in.

Eridras says (to You) 'Better directions, Morthak?'

Fastia glances at Eridras.

Fastia nods at you.

Leshrak says (to You) 'I feel that we need a well rounded following of the Evil Gods.'

You say 'Follow, Leshrak, stay here.'

Morthak motions to all.

You say (to Leshrak) 'The Lord's power touches all, is a part of all. How is that not well rounded?'

You raise an eyebrow.

Morthak places a hand upon the altar.

Leshrak says (to You) 'I feel that I have much Vengence within me, and Mencius is a better God for me to follow...'

Leshrak says (to You) 'it is not a matter of who is stronger, or more powerful...'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Vengence for what? Hmm? Do you know that even now there are attacks against Althainia?'

Leshrak says (to You) 'I am aware of this, and I seek to instill a greater sense of Rage within our halls'

Leshrak says (to You) 'so that our fighters may move swiftly, and kill without regret.'

You say (to Leshrak) 'They do not kill with regret now.'

You say (to Leshrak) 'They do not move because the King has decreed now is not the time.'

Leshrak says (to You) 'Even now as we speak I feel as if our fighters are calming...and I feel that I can help them bring a greater Vengance to the War!'

You say (to Leshrak) 'But decay heeds not kings or queens.'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Do believe all must act in haste? What about patiences and thoughtfullness?'

You say (to Leshrak) 'It is this unpreparedness that brought Marup to Althainia's jail.'

Leshrak says (to You) 'Decay and Disease spread in vast ammounts, but we still need Rage, to fuel the fires within!'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Faith fuels the fires within. '

Leshrak says (to You) 'I am not saying they must act with haste...'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Rage burns out quickly.'

Leshrak says (to You) 'and Mencius can help us to build those fires to their greatest roars!'

Leshrak says (to You) 'I don't doubt Dragoths great power, I simply feel as though Mencius has helped me to fuel my own rage, and my own Vengance'

Leshrak says (to You) 'together we can accomplish much destruction'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Do you understand the Lord's Vengance?'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Dragoth's Vengeance?'

Leshrak says (to You) 'I do indeed'

You say (to Leshrak) 'What is it then?'

Furboza snickers.

Furboza says 'Mez haf shurpun tu Menkiush pershunaly'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Eh?'

Furboza stares off at the walls with a strange grin.

Leshrak says (to You) 'But Mencius is the Lord that I follow, and I will help to insue the pain and anguish that is needed in althainia'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'Before my training in assassination..'

Leshrak says (to You) 'with the combined powers of our Lords, we can accomplish so much more, and create much more havoc'

Morthak stands before Leshrak.

Leshrak stands up.

You say (to Leshrak) 'Then remember this as you go about this new faith.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'When I wondered the streets and sewers of Althainia. I met with a messenger of Mencius himself, who came to me, and my lord shattered the skies with lightning and thunder to show his approval of me.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'That messenger was none other..'

Leshrak says (to You) 'I will. as I will help to spread the proper influences of the Dark Kingdom'

You say (to Leshrak) 'When all the enemies have been slain and vengeance has ben taken the fires will be put out. Yet Dragoth will still remain, decaying all things and all people.'

You say (to Leshrak) 'Your choices are your own..which ever you may believe.'

Leshrak says (to You) 'indeed. '

Leshrak bows to you.

You say (to Leshrak) 'Be well then, Leshrak.'

Leshrak says (to You) 'you too, Priest'

Furboza eats a jerkied trail steak.

Leshrak mounts a small pony.

You say (to Furboza) 'Sounds like Turpa.'

You snort.

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'It was not Turpa, there was a book the man had'

Leshrak waves.

You nod at Leshrak.

Leshrak leaves northwest, riding on a small pony.

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'an ancient thick book of writings of the gods themselves'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Yes, and what did it speak of?'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'written by scribes who have been servants of the gods for countless years...It spoke of the war between Althainia and our old kingdom.'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Truly, and what did it say about the goblin wars?'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'It was when I vowed vengeance on the Althainians that the building shook and thunder hit..'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'He only spoke of the lord's pleasure in my own, and our kin's burn for vengeance.'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Truly? And even now does Mencius' Deacon welcome Gorter as Overlord?'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'The Betrayer is second in command of the Horde.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I know not of these recent matters, I stick to myself and do not study religeon and current political matters..'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I have been blessed with the Lord Mencius' sign of approval and all that matters is answering his call for revenge.'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Then where have you been?'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Morthak has yet to see you raise your blades to aid those of our people who fight even now.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I have been around, in and out of Althainia and our own city. As well as the goblin kingdom. Years have I spent training, and focusing on nothing else'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'There shall be an attack, soon. Be visible and perhaps you shall have a defined place in this.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I admit I have much to catch up on, but when I was given this goal I could not turn away no matter how hard I tried, even if to follow the current events of our world.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'It is what I have been training for, no longer was I a petty criminal outcast, living in Althainia's sewers and feeding off of scraps.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I am trained to do what our people have no other choice but to do.'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Finish your training. We shall speak again. For now Morthak must go tend to other things.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'A simple soldier, a servant of our cause to be used in whatever means you see fit to take back what is ours'

Morthak starts taking apart the altar.

Furboza nods at you.

You nod at Furboza.

Furboza salutes you.

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Be well then.'

You nod at Furboza.

Furboza mutters.

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'Follow.'

Furboza says (Goblin) 'Yes, this maze..'

You nod.

<1361hp 1088m 267mv>
Furboza salutes you.

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'again, always good to speak with you in private.'

You nod at Furboza.

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'We shall do so again.'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'Until another time, Priest. If you wish to speak with me leave a note'

Furboza says (to You) (Goblin) 'I am always around, watching.'

You say (to Furboza) (Goblin) 'morthak shall.'

Furboza bows.
