Lightning strikes the ground nearby, revealing Olyn, the Lord of the Sands.
Tearea bows her head.
Chamber of Soul
[Exits: up] Some small cushions are on the floor. Olyn the Lord of the Sands is here. Isamu the monastery grandmaster is here teaching the young monks.
You say 'Greetings.'
Olyn says 'Well met, Warmistress.'
You say 'Where shall I begin.'
You ponder the question.
You relax your posture as your resolve fades. The town clock tolls once as the evening begins.
You say 'As I stated the alliance served the purpose of both our organizations well, but since has come to stagnation.'
You say 'Our purposes are not mutually exclusive, and can be reconciled with each other.'
You say 'I propose we put everything on the table for discussion. But the first step would be ascertaining who would support a merger, and who would not.'
You say 'The halls of the Warlords seek glory through honorable combat, swear off all magic or other advantages in battle, and adhere to a strict code.'
You are allowed to leave the realms.
Olyn says 'I can say that I am open to discussion. It is difficult to say more without knowing what your vision for this would look like.' The smell of pumpkin candy wafts out of some of the shops.
You say 'The Keepers seek to maintain the balance of power in the world, both by keeping the organizations of the world in check and also by challenging the most powerful in the lands, swear off the use of powerful artifacts.'
You say 'Am I missing something there?'
Olyn says 'That is accurate.'
You nod.
You say 'On the most basic level, the only unreconcilable items are the swearing off of magic, and the use of powerful artifacts.'
You say 'The Warlords have demonstrated they too can maintain the balance, though currently this is mostly through maintaining supremacy.'
You say 'The Keepers, I believe, could adhere to the Warlord code and maintain honorable combat at all times.'
You say 'Would you agree with these statements?'
[WARLORD] Davairus : 'Did you see the battle royale scroll?'
[WARLORD] (Warmistress) Tearea : 'Perusing it now as I discuss with Lord Olyn.'
Olyn says 'I am not certain the two paths cannot be reconciled.'
[WARLORD] Davairus : 'Ah, good. don't let me distract you.'
You say 'I'm getting to that part, which is the core of my proposal.'
Olyn says 'Often, two paths may lead to the same place.'
You nod.
You say 'I believe currently each organization has three members, and an active patron.'
You say 'What I propose is a merger of the active members and facilities.'
You say 'Our core purposes being honored by each side.'
The town clock tolls twelve times as noon approaches.
You say 'Those who currently are active may choose to accept the restrictions of the other organization, and in doing so gain access to their facilities or training.'
You say 'Considering it a "grandfathering-in" as it were.'
You say 'New members would be required to accept both.'
Olyn says 'What do you mean by restrictions?'
You say 'Not using magic, not using powerful artifacts.'
You say 'I would expect all to adhere to the balance as well as the Warlord Code, with no dissent.'
You say 'Also until something changes, the dictates of the pendulum.'
Olyn says 'You would have your Warlords throw down their items of power?'
You say 'Future warlords, yes.'
You say 'As for the two blademasters, I would allow them to make a decision.'
Your awareness diminishes. You feel your extra awareness drain away.
You say 'The benefit being access to keeper facilities and techniques.'
You say 'And the same for the keepers who choose to swear off magic.'
You say 'But requiring it for any in the future.'
The town clock tolls once as the evening begins.
You say 'That would be something I think you and Lord Davairus would need to discuss to see if is possible.'
Olyn says 'Could your new house simply not ask each new recruit which Honorable Path they wish to follow?'
You say 'All things are on the table.'
You say 'You desribe different factions in the same organization.'
You say 'More difficult to manage, but completely possible.'
The smell of pumpkin candy wafts out of some of the shops.
The town clock tolls twelve times as midnight arrives.
The goblin leader yells 'Goblins...Attack!!'
Olyn says 'Many of our members, although not currently, have included druids, invokers, and bards, among others.'
You nod.
You are hungry. You are thirsty.
Olyn says 'They would find it difficult to adhere to both Codes.'
You say 'And ours have included those who do not choose neutrality.'
You eat a Wayfarer's Cake. You are full.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice. Your thirst is quenched.
You say 'It would allow both to still exist.'
You say 'I see three possible factions in such an organization.'
Olyn says 'And both factions would uphold the Pendulum's Balance?'
You say 'As we currently do.'
The town clock tolls once as the day begins.
You say 'And all would be required to adhere to the code including openly declaring their intent to do battle.'
Olyn nods.
Olyn says 'I will think on this.'
Olyn says 'Have you spoken to Davairus about this?'
You say 'I still forsee three possible factions.'
You say 'I have declared my intent to him, if not the form we just discussed.'
Olyn says 'Three factions?'
You say 'Those who adhere to either restriction, and those who adhere to both.'
The town clock tolls twelve times as noon approaches.
You say 'Something to think about, but I would be willing to take up the mantle of both to inspire such change.'
Olyn nods.
Olyn says 'I look forward to seeing what the others from both houses have to say.'
You say 'As do I.'
You say 'I believe two factions are just fine as well, but three will announce to the world that the new organization is true change.'
The town clock tolls once as the evening begins.
You say 'Once we receieve some response from everyone we can have an open forum to discuss different visions within the basic framework we laid out.'
You say 'Those who oppose without reason will be troublesome, but with reason we can identify what we are overlooking.'
Olyn nods.
Olyn says 'We will see what the others have to say, then.'
You nod.
Olyn says 'Thank you for sharing your plans.'
You say 'Thank you for hearing and discussing them.'
Olyn bows deeply.
A flash of brilliant white light assails your senses. When it passes, Olyn is gone.
You tell your group 'If you have some time once you have recovered, I would like to discuss the matters on the table currently.'
Gerok tells the group 'Aye, bes' be gettin' to those. Ah dun go' distracted.'
Szrevan tells the group 'I have sshaid all I could, thissh politikissh issh not for me, I let you two talk.'
Szrevan tells the group 'Gerok knowssh me, perhapssh he issh only one of Keeperssh who doessh.'
You tell your group 'Yimir has a bar in the Dwarven Encampment, let us meet there.'
Szrevan tells the group 'Mosstly towardssh the monk and Keepermassterh.'
You buy a bottle of firebreather. Yimir the Barkeep says 'You ought to be checking out the priest of Darkhaven, if you haven't yet.'
Szrevan tells the group 'Their undertone wassh not welcome.'
Szrevan tells the group 'Assh if we are lessher becausshe Keeperssh have ssomething of a real purpossh and we do not? We are jussht dumb brutessh looking to fight?'
Szrevan tells the group 'Ssho we sshould not challenge the threat if we pleasshe ssho?'
Szrevan tells the group 'Yessh no, have heard and ssaid enough.'
You buy a bottle of firebreather. Yimir the Barkeep says 'You ought to be checking out the priest of Darkhaven, if you haven't yet.'
Gerok tells the group 'Aye, ah think ye read the undertone correc'.'
You are hungry.
Gerok tells the group 'It bein' disrespec'ful.'
Gerok tells the group 'N' ye called em ou'.'
Gerok tells the group 'Regardin' yer missive, there be still a counter arguement to ye.'
Gerok tells the group 'Thing tha'
(879/879h 697/697m 478v) (no opponent) ([##########][##########]{ }) (calm) Gerok tells the group '... stands between' Keeper and anudder threa' bein acknowledgemen' o' the balance, n' anyone's potential ter throw 'er off.'
Szrevan clanks in. A dragon hatchling flies in. Yimir the Barkeep looks up from making coffee as you enter.
Szrevan burps loudly.
Szrevan sits down and rests.
You give a bottle of firebreather to Szrevan.
Szrevan tells the group 'I sshit and lissten, you two have more to talk than I.'
Gerok tells the group 'If a Warlord be goin' roun', as things stand, puttin' down threats', tha' only strengthens the Warlord's position as the bigges' threat, aye?'
Szrevan lets out a deep gutteral grunt.
Gerok tells the group 'Aye, if tha' be yer wish.'
Szrevan looks at you.
You say 'Firebreather, see how it goes down.'
Gerok walks in. Yimir the Barkeep looks up from making coffee as you enter.
Gerok shows his approval by clapping his hands together.
Gerok sits down and rests.
You give a bottle of firebreather to Gerok.
You nod at Gerok.
Gerok gallantly tips his hat to you.
Gerok drinks firebreather from a bottle of firebreather.
Gerok utters in a thick, rolling brogue 'Aah... nothin' be washin' down the tas' o' defeat like good firebreather.'
Gerok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Gerok stands up.
Gerok yells out his warcry. Gerok yells 'Bastian o Balance, guide me blade along ye narrow path!'
You say 'Let me lay out my proposal, and my discussions thus far regarding it.'
Gerok sits down and rests.
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Tearea gestures with an open hand.
Gerok says 'The floor be yours, Warmas'er.'
Gerok opens a Big Ol'Pack Sack.
Gerok puts a light mithril hand-axe in a Big Ol'Pack Sack.
Gerok closes a Big Ol'Pack Sack.
You say 'My premise is that our beliefs and purpose are not mutually exclusive.'
Gerok says 'Ah think ye be righ' there, but some siftin' be needed.'
You say 'The Warlord's Code, and the maintainence of the balance through observing the dictates of the pendulum.'
You say 'There are two sticking points, being our unreconcilables.'
You say 'We swear off the use of magic, where you swear off the use of artifacts.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Gerok says 'Aye, tha' be one.'
You say 'First I discussed this with Lord Olyn.'
Gerok says 'Aye?'
Gerok stands up.
Gerok bows his head in worship of Virgil.
Gerok sits down and rests.
You say 'We discussed the possibility of two separate factions under one banner.'
Your awareness diminishes. You feel your extra awareness drain away.
You feel more alive as your awareness improves! You become more aware of the motion around you.
You say 'While if we had access to your armories, we could abandon artifacts easily.'
Gerok sits down and thinks deeply.
You say 'However, the Keepers historically have welcomed magi and druids into their ranks.'
Gerok says 'Hmm... tha' meanin' we swearin' off magics as well.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
You shake your head.
You say 'Two separate factions. I indicated a third as well.'
Gerok says 'Tha' third bein'?'
You say 'One that swears off magic, one that swears off artifacts, and one that embraces the challenge of swearing off both.'
Gerok sits down and thinks deeply.
You say 'The third faction ideally would have access to the Warlord teachings as well as the Keeper facilities.'
Gerok says 'Hmm.... coun' me intrigued. Twice the price, twice the reward.'
Gerok stands up.
You say 'While the first two would remain as they stand.'
Gerok drinks firebreather from a bottle of firebreather.
Gerok sits down and rests.
You say 'All would have to adhere to the dictates of the pendulum, and follow the Warlord code.'
Gerok nods.
Szrevan hisses 'Can I make the former Keeper faction to sserve assh my sservants, ridding Sserin of valuablessh and contributing them to my hoard assh I ssit in my Lair, overlording their ranssacking?'
You say 'But would be allowed a choice of either or both restriction and be limited by it.'
Szrevan hisses 'I do akksept blood offeringssh of young warmbloodssh too.'
You roll on the floor, laughing hysterically.
Gerok lets out a hearty laugh.
You say 'You would have to negotiate for such a dispensation, Serpent King.'
Szrevan lets out a deep gutteral grunt.
You say 'Or should I say Dragon Lord?'
Gerok sits down and thinks deeply.
You say 'Anyway.'
Gerok says 'Eider of you well-read on if the Consortium be operatin' under similar pretenses?'
You say 'The main point was Lord Olyn sought to maintain a place for the druids and magi historically attached to the Keepers.'
You shake your head. Gerok sits down and thinks deeply.
You say 'I am not familiar, what we seek to create may be similar, but better.'
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
You say 'My discussions with Fenlorn were different.'
Gerok says ''e wen' a bi' more defensive, ah take?'
You say 'Fenlorn termed such an agreement a half measure, and sought a single faction that embraced all of the restrictions.'
Szrevan stands up.
Szrevan looks more enlightened.
Szrevan sits down and rests.
Gerok says 'Innis, mah opinion bein' unique, as ah considered joinin' warlords a' one point.'
You say 'I pointed out that this would exclude the casters and the druids.'
You say 'Against Lord Olyn's desires.'
Gerok says 'We ain' 'ad a caster in our ranks fer a while, bu' tha' can change.'
Gerok sits down and thinks deeply.
You say 'We might make a dispensation for communers, but that would be a stretch.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
You say 'It wouldn't affect us as it currently stands.'
Gerok says 'A'ri, so, dealin' widdis one adda time.'
Gerok says 'Three factions risks lots of empty halls, if ye ge' me meanin'.'
You say 'I also pointed out that the current members could be "grandfathered in" as it were.'
Gerok nods.
You nod.
Gerok says 'Or, Halls where ours be the only ones filled in.'
Gerok drinks firebreather from a bottle of firebreather.
You say 'I think we can come to a consensus, failing that a majority if we get everyone together for a discussion.'
Szrevan drinks firebreather from a bottle of firebreather.
Szrevan drinks water from a gigantic gold chalice.

You say 'My main problem now is with the tenor of these notes.'
Gerok says 'ahhh'm thiNnkIinnn' yeR riIghh'.'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
Szrevan puts a bottle of firebreather in a garb of an assassin.
Szrevan gets a strip of squirrel meat from a garb of an assassin.
Szrevan eats a strip of squirrel meat.
Gerok says 'Aye, which is why ah suggested a mee'in in person. N' ye be wise schedulin' it durin' a near storm.'
You say 'It seems the keepers are unhappy with the alliance that was formed before our leadership was instituted.'
Gerok nods.
You say 'An alliance which has only benefitted one party, the keepers.'
Gerok winces in agony.
Gerok says 'Inna way, aye, and inna way, nay.'
You say 'We adhered to the dictates of the pendulum as instructed by the Blood Lord due to the alliance formed.'
You say 'We squashed the legions who sought to upset the balance like bugs.'
Gerok says 'Aye, bu' if ah be so bold, the Blood Lord ain' been tendin' to the pendulum fer centuries.'
You say 'Then we squashed the corrupt justices who sought to chain us with their unjust laws.'
Gerok says 'N' accordin' to the Balance, evil mus' be allowed to persist, jus' no' proliferate.'
You say 'It was an agreement between Lord Olyn and him, I believe.'
Gerok says ''ere's why, ah reckon, tha' was star'ed.'
You say 'And yet we are to be detested and receive thinly veiled insults due to upholding it with no benefit to ourselves.'
Szrevan hisses 'Jussht ssaying that the Warlordssh have dissmantled Legion ssinglehandedly, ended the tyranny of all Justissh and punisshed the overly bloodthirssty Knightssh.'
Szrevan hisses 'Sserin hassh never been at more peace or equilibrium before.'
Szrevan hisses 'Jusst ssaying.'
Gerok says 'Peace n' equilibrium be differen' things.'
You say 'You are correct Gerok.'
Szrevan hisses 'Issh there an overwhelming forsshe to dominate the realm? No.'
Gerok peers intently at Szrevan.
Szrevan hisses 'Legion issh gone for good, for now.'
You say 'However surely you can see the outcome of what ending the alliance summarily will entail.'
Gerok says 'Ye know me answer to tha'.'
Gerok nods at you in agreement.
Gerok says 'Aye, which gets me to the poin' the serpen' king made a'fore, this be a good time to do some thinkin', n' reorganizin.'
You nod.
You say 'I won't elaborate then.'
Gerok says 'If Keepers n' Warlords proceed forward, under the same banner, then tha' can' 'appen again.'
Gerok says 'If Legion be rebuildin', ye leddem rebuild, til they become a threa'.'
Gerok says 'Same bein' fer Knights.'
You say 'The tenor of these notes bothers me because we have upheld our end and allowed the current situation where Keepers are flourishing to come about, for no benefit.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
You say 'We have not gone about targetting organizations out of bloodthirst or greed.'
Gerok shakes his head.
You say 'But rather followed the dictates of honor and the pendulum.'
Gerok says 'Aye, bu' them Knights could claim the same, aye?'
Gerok says 'N' ah was a lad inna days where Knights dominated all..'
You say 'The Knights captured an item, and bullied the weak.'
Gerok says 'Innere name of Honor.'
You say 'They were put in their place by the Blademaster for it.'
Gerok shows his approval by clapping his hands together.
Gerok says 'So, we be gettin' to the secon' poin' then.'
You say 'What are your thoughts on the two paths forward that I have laid out?'
Gerok says 'Firs' poin' ye successfully sol' ter me.'
Gerok says 'Ah'm intrigued by the oaths to be taken, since in nature they be similar.'
Gerok says 'An' ah won' lie to ye, ah'd be REAL interested in taken' the dual oath.'
Gerok says 'So coun' me bias movin' forward onnat.'
Gerok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Gerok says 'Bu', now we be talkin' abou' the stickin' poin', the one tha' go' me cabal-mates knickers inna bunch.'
You are thirsty.

You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice. Your thirst is quenched.
Gerok claps at your performance.
You say 'Lord Olyn and Lord Davairus would of course have to approve whatever decision we make.'
You say 'But I see it being tenable, if we reach a consensus.'
Gerok says 'Aye, bu' the way threats be addressed is a big sticker.'
You shrug.
You say 'Myself and Szrevan would represent most of the threats abounding.'
You say 'That ranger, as well.'
Gerok says 'As it stands, Warlords takin' down threats makes Warlords threats 'emselves. If ye stick to the edicts, though', ye figger tha' shouldn' be an issue.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
You say 'I have an idea I haven't shared for that as well.'
You say 'Because I'm seeking support before I put it out there.'
Gerok says 'Ah'll grab a bi', then ah'm ears.'
Gerok stands up. Gerok walks south.
Szrevan's nostrils flare as he says 'Assh I ssaid, we go for the biggessth challenge, not the biggessth threat.'
Gerok walks in. Yimir the Barkeep looks up from making coffee as you enter.
Gerok eats a helping of fish stew.
Gerok licks his mouth and smiles.
Szrevan hisses 'Assh I ssaid, we go for the biggessth challenge, not the biggessth threat.'
Gerok sits down and rests.
You agree absolutely.
Gerok says 'Aye, more respec' to ye ferrit.'
You say 'Well, we have a dragons support for hoarding artifacts.'
Szrevan hisses 'You sshee a threat to Balance, I sshee a formidable opponent to bessth in battle.'
You say 'My idea would be shifting the focus back to recovering them.'
You are hungry.
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Gerok says 'See, we already be reconcilin'.'
You say 'Without such powerful artifacts, the only thing that would challenge the balance would be skill.'
You eat a Wayfarer's Cake. You are full.
Gerok says 'Issin Warlords blood to challenge 'emselves.'
Gerok says 'Threats provide a means o' doin' jus' tha'.'
You say 'However, we would need access to your facilities to abandon such arms.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Gerok stands up.
Gerok opens a Big Ol'Pack Sack.

Gerok says 'Bu' oaths we make ourselves.'
Szrevan hisses 'I will not be sseparated from my hoard.'
Gerok says 'Secrets of exposin' armor, an' atonement.'
Gerok says 'Ye won' 'ave to be, Serpen' King.'
Szrevan hisses 'If it comessh down to thissh, I will tear down whole Sserin.'
You say 'You can hoard it wherever you will.'
Gerok says 'Ye jus' can' go stompin' baby birds 'afore they become eagles.'
You say 'I have stipulated to the grandfathering in of current members as well.'
Gerok nods at you in agreement.
You say 'I look to building for the future.'
You say 'New members would be required to abide by whatever we decide.'
Gerok says 'A'ri, so there be logistics to work ou', as well.'
Gerok says 'Widda mergin' of powers.'
Gerok says 'Bu', ah think we can agree 'ere n' now tha' i's possible.'
(879/879h 697/697m 478v) (no opponent) ([##########][##########]{ }) (calm) Gerok says 'Ain' no reason gettin' 'uffy o'er logistics.'
You nod.
Gerok yells out his warcry. Gerok yells 'Bastian o Balance, guide me blade along ye narrow path!'
You say 'So heres the question.'
Gerok sits down and rests.
You say 'Do you support three factions, or a complete merger?'
You say 'Or two factions.'
Gerok says 'Three factions firs', two factions secon'.'
(879/879h 697/697m 478v) (no opponent) ([##########][##########]{ }) (calm) You nod.
Gerok says 'comple' merger ain' gonna be possible. Edicts n' code differ jus' enough.'
You say 'You will have to try to convince Fenlorn, then.'
Gerok nods.
Gerok says 'Ah'll be sendin' a no'e, promotin' yer ideas oughta be 'eard ou'.'
You nod.
Gerok says 'Ah think the Blood Lord be anudder one ter convince.'
Gerok says 'Ah could see 'im agains' three factions.'
You say 'He has given me his support.'
Gerok says 'Since there be no preceden' ferrit.'
Gerok claps at your performance.
Gerok says 'Then ah think ye dun the hardes' par'.'
Gerok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
You say 'We can leave everything on the table, until they rule something out.'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Gerok says 'Aye, tha' be wise.'
You say 'It is a process, and a negotiation.'
Szrevan hisses 'You sstill ssend raressh to your vault in the Keeper hall?'
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with Szrevan.
Szrevan hisses 'Sso I will make it my lair insstead.'
Gerok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Szrevan hisses 'And bring ten dragonssh to guard it.'
Gerok utters in a thick, rolling brogue 'That'll be possible, widda merger.'
Gerok snickers softly.
You say 'I would ask that you add your thoughts on each option to the scroll and make it as legible as possible, possibly employ a scribe.'
Gerok throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Gerok says 'Ah, ye figger ah ain' muchuva writer, eh?'
Szrevan hisses 'And if they would bessth my sservant dragonssh but would be unlucky enough to get into the vault when I awaken, they would have to deal with me.'
You say 'You write how you speak, I'm not even sure how that works.'
You scratch yourself on the head... confused.
Gerok says 'It bein' more a manner o'... literateness.'
Gerok says 'A'ri, ah be 'avin a scribe writin' me response.'
You nod.
You say 'We have a great opportunity here.'
You nod.
Gerok nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Gerok says 'ye be ri', change be needed.'
You say 'I'll leave you to it and return to my meditations for now.'
Szrevan stands up.

Gerok stands up.
Gerok salutes you briskly.
Szrevan bows deeply.
Szrevan hisses 'I return to my sslumber.'
Gerok says 'Le's 'ave ourselves a good n' proper drink, whennis is all done.'
[WARLORD] Aragmon the cyclops : 'Szrevan has left the fray.' Szrevan stops following you. Szrevan has left the realms. Szrevan has left the group. A dragon hatchling slowly disappears.
You nod.
Gerok says 'Til 'en, Warmas'er.'
Gerok sits down and rests.
You say 'I'm looking forward to a battle royale when we can get the numbers rustled up.'
You wave.
Gerok shows his approval by clapping his hands together.
[Exits: south] (Glowing) A bright, flickering spark hovers just above the ground here. A swirl of glowing mist is coiled on the ground here. Gerok is resting here. (White Aura) A sturdy male dwarf is cleaning the glasses and plates around the room.
Gerok nods.
You say 'Four would be enough.'
You say 'Or two of you against Szrevan perhaps.'
Gerok agrees absolutely.
Gerok lets out a hearty laugh.
Your awareness diminishes. You feel your extra awareness drain away.

You say 'You've been able to peruse your scrolls?'
Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'I have.'
You say 'Let me lay my proposal on the table, and the discussions I have had with your comrades and Lord.'
Mazin says 'Go ahead.'
You say 'You will be the last I have met with.'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
You say 'Our beliefs and way of life are not mutually exclusive.'
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
You say 'We Warlords follow a code of conduct, requiring us to fight with honor and not seek advantages in combat and in doing so will announce our intentions before attacking.'
Mazin nods.
You say 'The Keepers have edicts which they follow, and also follow the dictates of the pendulum in order to maintain balance.'
You say 'These are not exclusive and can be adopted.'
You say 'However, there are two irreconcilables we must overcome..'
You say 'The edict to not utilize powerful artifacts, and the swearing off of all magic.'
You say 'With me so far?'
Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'I am.'
Mazin gets a tin canteen from a heavy backpack.

You say 'My discussions with Lord Olyn reflected an idea of two factions under the same banner. I also indicated the possibility of a third faction under that banner.'
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
Mazin nods.
You no longer move sinuously. Mazin's movement is no longer as accurate.
You say 'The two factions taking on either of the irreconcilables.'
You say 'The third faction I speak of accepting both.'
You say 'The mandates of the pendulum and the code of honor are to be followed by all.'
You say 'Current members can be "grandfathered in" as it were, and new members will be forced to adhere to the functions we form during our discussions.'
You say 'The main concern with the suggesting multiple factions would be this:'
You say 'The Warlords have historically ignored moral dilemmas and allowed any ethos in, should they be worthy.'
Mazin nods.
A savage wind begins to blow, carrying the sounds of war.
You say 'The Keepers historically have allowed magi and druids into their fold.'
You say 'Lord Olyn would like there to be a way for that to continue.'
You say 'Hence the suggestion of factions.'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
You move with the swiftness and the accuracy of the crane.

Your accuracy fades.
Mazin says 'Your words intrigue me, I have a few concerns, but I will mention them when you are done.'
You say 'He believe factions to be a "half-measure" and wishes for a full and complete merger.'
Mazin nods.
You say 'That would limit our members to physical fighters who abandon magic and artifacts.'
You say 'I personally could agree to this, but I believe Lord Olyn would be opposed.'

You say 'As for my discussion with Gerok, he was intrigued by the possibility of that third faction.'
Mazin says 'I have questions about that, but again I will revisit that.'
You say 'Having access to the teachings of the Warlords and the facilities of the keepers, but being highly restricted.'
Mazin pulls out a scroll and starts scribbling notes.
You say 'Everything is on the table for discussion, but ultimately will have to pass the approval of Lord Olyn and Lord Davairus.'
You say 'And I think we are all agreed that we do not want to leave anyone behind.'
You say 'Your thoughts?'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
Mazin says 'Let me address them as you mentioned them.'
Mazin says 'My first concern wasn't really mentioned, but more glossed over.'
Mazin says 'I am concerned about private vendetta's. You call them deathmarks I think.'
You say 'I have ideas for that as well.'
Mazin says 'Correct me if I am wrong, but Warlords love to battle right?'
You agree absolutely.
Mazin says 'Dueling and testing yourself sounds intriguing. '
Mazin says 'I could find enjoyment in that.'
Mazin says 'Murdering someone because they offended me...'
Mazin says 'That's off the table for me.'
Mazin says 'I would never murder someone because they hurt my feelings or made me mad.'
Mazin says 'And that's my understanding of deathmarks.'
You say 'Has a Warlord done so?'
Mazin says 'I will pause so you can answer that.'
You say 'Most deathmarks are meted out due to dishonorable actions and violating the terms of a duel.'
Mazin says 'Isn't that the same thing?'
You say 'No.'
Mazin says 'I mean no disrespect to your beliefs I am trying to understand.'
You say 'We follow strict rules and uphold them.'
You say 'Lets say I challenge you to a duel to the death.... you refuse.'
You say 'I challenge you to the stun.'
You say 'You accept.'
You say 'You win and slay me and take some of my belongings.'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
You prepare your resolve and stand ready for battle.
You say 'Not only is it a violation of the terms of a duel, but it is a wholly dishonorable action.'
You no longer have the swiftness and agility of the crane.
Mazin says 'And naturally you are upset.'
You say 'Sneak attacks by thieves who refuse to stand and fight too have earned deathmarks.'
Mazin says 'This is where I take issue.'
Mazin says 'Let me explain my understanding, maybe I am wrong.'
You say 'You steal my possessions and run off with them, how is this not dishonorable?'
Mazin shakes his head.
You say 'You don't want to be marked for death, don't sneak attack me.'
You say 'It is highly offensive.'
You say 'I have an idea that may mollify you though.'
Mazin says 'I have no issue with you personally getting mad at someone that has wronged you and you personaly making your own choice as to what you will do.'
Mazin gets a Wayfarer's Cake from a heavy backpack.
Mazin eats a Wayfarer's Cake.
You say 'Deathmarks are a personal matter.'
You say 'They do not require action by others.'
Mazin says 'But they allow action by others?'
You say 'We handle our matters ourselves.'
Mazin says 'I join warlords, someone offends you due to dishonorable actions I can kill them for offending you?'
You say 'You can challenge them to a fight.'
You say 'For whatever reason you desire.'
You relax your posture as your resolve fades.
You say 'But meteing out a deathmark is a personal thing.'
You say 'Say I deathmark Hraozen.'
Mazin nods.
You say 'You kill him, my deathmark remains.'
You say 'It is up to me to seek redress for it.'
You say 'Those that have been dishonorable and break terms of duels have a bad habit of doing so to everyone.'
You say 'So its generally moot.'
You say 'I admire Flinnegan in that way.'
You feel your extra awareness drain away. Your awareness diminishes.
You say 'Hraozen bears Szrevans mark, but not mine.'
You feel more alive as your awareness improves!
You become more aware of the motion around you.
You say 'I didn't appreciate his refusal of my duel and his attack upon me after that, but he won fairly.'
You say 'We could put that on the table for discussion amongst all of it.'
You say 'I have an idea for them though.'
Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'What is your idea.'
You say 'As most of the current threats are active warlords, we could use them to determine who would be the threats.'
You say 'Based off of their prowess, artifact use, and heinous actions.'
You say 'I would of course reserve that for the highest ranks if it were my decision.'
You say 'To prevent abuse.'
Mazin says 'So let's make sure I understand what you are saying once again.'
You say 'Not dissimilar from what the knights do.'
Mazin says 'I don't want any misunderstandings here.'
Mazin smiles happily.
You nod.
Mazin says 'So you are saying that if Szrevan became too powerful, we would deal with that internally. Ourselves?'
Mazin says 'Or you are saying if someone defeated Szrevan they must be a threat?'
Mazin rubs his head with a baffled expression at the thought.
You say 'As the ones that maintain the balance, we would not threaten it.'
You are hungry. You are thirsty.
You say 'The pendulum makes such decisions.'
You say 'I would not mark someone as a threat for defeating someone one on one.'
You say 'It would take more than that.'
You get angry looks from the dwarves as you nearly knock some coffee pots over.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You eat a Wayfarer's Cake. You are full.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalic You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice. Your thirst is quenched.
Mazin shakes his head.
Mazin says 'I don't like that idea at all.'
You say 'Its just an idea.'
Mazin says 'No one, not you, not Fenlorn should decide irrevocably who is and is not a threat.'
Mazin says 'We are fallible.'
Mazin says 'We make mistakes, I could see that working out poorly.'
You say 'I believe a council of the higher ranked members can make reasoned decisions.'
You say 'It is what we enjoy in our halls currently, with myself and two blademasters.'
Mazin says 'So this question isn't one of my questions, but one I have been thinking about for a bit now.'
You say 'Or deathmarks can remain as is, the pendulum can remain as is and we can follow that.'
Mazin says 'What does this merger mean to you?'
Mazin says 'What would we become?'
Mazin says 'Would we be Keepers? Warlords? What?'
You say 'That has yet to be determined.'
Mazin snickers softly.
You say 'But I fully expect to accept the challenge of both restrictions if it comes to fruition. For the challenge.'
You say 'How can I utilaterally make that decision?'
Mazin says 'For that matter.'
You say 'Details like that need to be hashed out in a reasoned discussion with everyone, which is my goal.'
Mazin says 'Fenlorn is Keepermaster, you are the leader of Warlords, is it Warmaster?'
Mazin says 'Who would be in charge?'
Mazin peers around himself intently.
You say 'Warmistress.'
You say 'Again, that has yet to be determined.'
Mazin says 'So let me ask you something more pointed.'
You say 'If there are separate factions, I see multiple leaders.'
Mazin says 'If it was decided, would you be willing to step down and let someone else lead?'
You say 'To achieve my goal of that challenge? I would.'
Mazin says 'For something like this to work there has to be an ultimate leader, multiple leaders wouldn't work.'
Mazin nods.
You say 'I currently serve as Warmistress at the leisure of my blademasters.'
Mazin says 'I respect you for being willing to say that.'
Mazin frowns.
You say 'If they wanted the post, I would be hard pressed to keep it.'
Mazin says 'That is an interesting idea.'
Mazin says 'At the leisure of your blademasters.'
Mazin says 'How so?'
Mazin drinks water from a tin canteen.
Mazin drinks water from a tin canteen.

Mazin gets a Wayfarer's Cake from a heavy backpack.
Mazin eats a Wayfarer's Cake.
You say 'They have accepted my leadership through their realization of my capabilities.'
You say 'Both from a judgement perspective as well as handling the administration of such an organization.'
You say 'It doesn't hurt that I can hold my own in battle, but for now they have bested me more than I have bested them.' Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'Does that chafe?'
You say 'I also hold seniority.'
You say 'It burns, yes. But I have secured some victories and enjoy the challenge.'
Mazin nods.
You say 'Not knowing you, I will tell you something about me.'
You say 'If you have time.'
Mazin says 'I have plenty of time.'
You nod.
You say 'When I petitioned for entry into the halls, they were empty.'
You say 'The Lord of Blood intervied me personally.'
You say 'I made two commitments. To give the all of my effort, and to increase activity within the halls. I knew I could not win every battle, but I would give the maximum of my effort to do so.'
Mazin says 'I can respect that.'
You say 'My current position is the realization of the accomplishment and continued effort of those two commitments.'
Mazin says 'Then you have done well.'
You say 'We have built something great.'
You say 'Now we have the opportunity here to build something even grander.'
Mazin says 'I can't help but feel like this merger you suggest is more Warlords absorbing Keepers though.'
You say 'It is possibel.'
You say 'Possible.'
Mazin says 'But let's address my other concerns and see how I feel when we are done.'
You nod.
You say 'I will also tell you one more thing to address that.'
Mazin says 'Go ahead.'
You say 'Consider the nature of this alliance.'
You say 'The decision was made before I joined the halls, and we have upheld our end of it without complaint.'
Mazin says 'You read my scroll?'
You say 'We have followed the dictates of the pendulum, kept the justices from getting out of hand, destroyed the legions for their dishonor, and dealt with the knights when they too became threats.' ) You say 'I did.'
Mazin says 'I had no idea there was an alliance before I liberated the Knight's item from Katarina.'
You say 'It was something done between our patrons.'
You say 'We had no hand in it.'
Mazin says 'Your words just now.'
Mazin says 'Destroyed the legion for their dishonor.'
You say 'But consider this, it only benefits the Keepers, and yet you chafe against it.'
Mazin says 'You have left a void in the balance.'
Mazin shakes his head.
You say 'The Warlords gain nothing from the Alliance.'
Mazin says 'I didn't even know about it before these talks began.'
Mazin says 'Most of my concerns are questions regarding my understandings of things.'
Mazin says 'So far you have answered them well.'
Mazin smiles happily.
You say 'Consider what would occur should the alliance suddenly end with no even bascially tenuous agreement.'
You nod.
You say 'I would hear your other thoughts.'
Mazin says 'We would be at odds.'
Mazin says 'And we would do battle.' Mazin says 'But won't we do that anyway?'
Mazin peers around himself intently.
You say 'There is battle, and there is war.'
You say 'The pendulum would focus war upon us for being superior in battle.'
Mazin says 'War doesn't scare me, but that is not what we are here to talk about.'
You agree absolutely.
Mazin says 'You saw the results of my battle with Hraozen.'
Mazin says 'Beyond my jokes about my gear did I seem upset?'
Mazin grins evilly.
You say 'It is good that you keep your chin up.'
Mazin shrugs helplessly.
You say 'I have lost as many battles as anyone.'

Duels: 230, Wins: 153, Losses: 77 (Win Rate: 66%) Mazin says 'I can only move in one direction. '
Mazin says 'I will learn and get better, or I will be no more.'
Mazin says 'Anyways.'
Mazin says 'You mentioned grand fathered members. '
You say 'Should Fenlorn's desire come to fruition, I would support that for existing members of either organization.'
You say 'We speak of six members.'
Mazin says 'I do not think that is a good idea.'
Mazin says 'If a course is decided on, it should be followed. '
Mazin says 'Orders are orders, and if some don't like it, well there is always retirement. '
You say 'Perhaps but we have all earned our consideration as well.'
You say 'It may be that some are left behind, but Fenlorn and I are in agreement that as few as possible.'
You say 'The only one I haven't spoken with that this point is Shaghroth.'
Mazin says 'I agree, but we are all talking about making sacrifices to make this happen no?'
You agree absolutely.
Mazin says 'For some the sacrifices may be harsher than others.'
Mazin says 'It boils down to what we can live with.'
Mazin says 'And if it meets our needs as a whole. '
You nod.
You say 'Will you be able to make the appointed meeting time?'
Mazin says 'Did you expect this conversation to go this way?'
Mazin says 'I am uncertain, when is it?' Mazin says 'Three storms?'
You say 'Check my last scroll.' You say 'The time is very specificly noted.'
Mazin says 'Oh.'
Mazin snickers softly.
You say 'It would be the storm after the next one.'
You say 'We would be able to hammer out the finer details you seek answers to, and then we could seek approval.'
Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'I can make it.'
You say 'If we have a majority attend that is.'
Mazin says 'I only have one more question really.'
You nod.
You say 'Certainly.'
Mazin says 'You have mostly answered it.'
(879/879h 697/697m 478v) (no opponent) ([======####][########==]{ }) (calm) Mazin says 'Warlords forswear the use of magical aid.'
Mazin says 'Yet, we talk of factions to allow druids and magi within.'
You are thirsty. Your awareness diminishes. You feel your extra awareness drain away.
Mazin says 'I do not really like the idea of different factions.'
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice.
You feel more alive as your awareness improves!
You become more aware of the motion around you. Mazin says 'But I do not like the idea of excluding the balance minded magi either. ' You drink water from a gigantic gold chalice. Your thirst is quenched.
You say 'I can take it or leave it, but it was a consideration for Lord Olyn.'
Mazin says 'And if this were to go through...'
You say 'Leaving it would also limit the morality of those who had previously been in warlords, if we fully combine without separate factions.'
Mazin says 'Would you consider magical aid acceptable? '
You say 'Think about it as I described it.'
You say 'A faction that accepts the restrictions of magic, a faction that accepts the restrictions of artifacts, and a faction that takes on both.'
You say 'Or a full merger leaving only the third faction.'
You say 'A full merger leaves no room for magi or good or evil fokl.'
You say 'The factions leave magical aid acceptable for those who do not accept that restriction.'
You say 'And that faction only.'
You say 'It is a compromise.'
Mazin nods.
Mazin says 'I will have to think about that one.'
You say 'But then those who refuse magical aid may wear artifacts.'
You say 'Another compromise.'
You say 'To obtain my vision I would accept either vision.'
You say 'But I would prefer the challenge of a full merger.'
A dragon hatchling reappears! Szrevan has entered the realms. Szrevan creates the Light of Immortal Favor. [WARLORD] Aragmon the cyclops : 'Szrevan has joined the halls of honor.'
You say 'I will tell you this now.'
Mazin peers around himself intently.
Szrevan grins evilly.
You wave at Szrevan.
Mazin says 'That was unexpected.'
You say 'We were speaking here earlier.'
You say 'With Gerok.'
Szrevan's nostrils flare as he says 'Who awakenssh me?'
Szrevan hisses 'A challenger!'
Mazin drinks water from a tin canteen.
Mazin drinks water from a tin canteen.
You say 'That black dragon.'
Mazin drinks water from a tin canteen.
Szrevan points his spear towards Mazin.
Mazin gets a Wayfarer's Cake from a heavy backpack.
Mazin eats a Wayfarer's Cake.
Mazin shakes his head.
You nod at Szrevan.
You say 'We are almost finished here.'
Mazin says 'Not at this time Szrevan.'
You say 'He was just slain by Hraozen.' Szrevan's scales on his back and tail slowly raise with tension.
(879/879h 684/697m 478v) (no opponent) ([======####][########==]{ }) (calm) You say 'Look at him.'
Mazin says 'I have tasted defeat, and the loss of all my wares as a result.'
Mazin shakes his head.
Szrevan looks at Mazin.
You say 'Gone by now, I think.' ) Szrevan peers around himself intently.
You say 'I will say one more thing, Mazin.'
You say 'I have left everything on the table for our discussion.'
You say 'However, only eight of us have anything to say about it.'
You say 'The three of us Warlords, the three Keepers, and our patrons.'
Mazin agrees absolutely.
You say 'I have been limiting the conversations thus, because the rest of them don't have any skin in this.'
You say 'I expect spies to start leaking information any day now.'
Yimir's Foamy Beard
[Exits: south] (Glowing) A bright, flickering spark hovers just above the ground here. A swirl of glowing mist is coiled on the ground here. Szrevan the Serpent King, Blademaster of Warlords is here. (Charmed) A dragon hatchling is here, its scales changing colour every moment. Mazin is resting here. (White Aura) A sturdy male dwarf is cleaning the glasses and plates around the room.
Mazin says 'I agree completely.'
Mazin says 'I certainly hope not.'
You nod.
You say 'I would ask for one favor.'
Mazin says 'That would be disappointing in the extreme to know that there was one such who could not keep this where it belongs. '
Mazin says 'Ask.'
You say 'Send a note as did Gerok regarding your thoughts on the visions for our joining.'
Mazin says 'I shall, but it will be later after I have sorted my thoughts.'
You nod.
You say 'Fair enough, I just want everyone involved to have as much information possible.'
Mazin says 'For now, how about some adventure?'
Mazin says 'I have need to refit.'
Mazin snickers softly.
You say 'I have overstayed for now and must return to my meditations. I will return later though.'
Mazin nods.
Mazin bows before you.
Mazin says 'It was a pleasure actually sitting down with you.'
