//OOC: Here are the logs from the Feb. 5th council meeting. I finally got around to cleaning them up and posting them. This is for those of you who could not attend or had to leave early.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron *inclines his head*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Hello everyone.
Ezra : *slight nod to Marister*
Antoine Riviore: *Crosses her legs and leans back.*
Marister: *nods to all who see him
Octavian: *nods*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I am Lord Giogi Wyvernspur, Warden of the Western Marches.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I have been sent as the Crown's representative to look into current affairs in the Western Reach and to see that matters do not escalate to bloodshed.
Vennis Haler: *eyes follow the beautiful Antoine somewhat*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): There are a number of matters that have been raised to the Crown's attention and I hope that with the help of those gathered the pieces may be put together and a course may be determined.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *the paladin seems to be concentrating in the area*
Marister: *listens and observes all in attendance
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I know that a proclamation has been made by the Baron of Valkur's Roar about the collection of a certain precious material
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The Crown is also aware...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That an armed force landed upon Cormyrian shores and marched into Zorastryl lands.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Leaning lazily against the wall, the dark-skinned woman keeps her gaze turned toward the left end of the table, moving lightly between Lords Rothford and Truesilver.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): It has come to the Crown's attention that there is a dispute over the ruler ship of Zorastryl lands by two members of the family.
Ezra : *seems to watch room more than lords*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Seems to be on his toughs*
Vennis Haler: *eyes shift over to Matthias*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Concentrating*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): And I am aware that the Council of Greatgaunt has petitioned the Crown for support of it's autonomy in the midst of these circumstances.
Matthias Zorastryl: *crosses his arms and simply scowls as he hears Giogi speak*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I would like to hear from each respective interest in these matters so that the whole of this tale may be understood and that a course may be set for us all to follow to prevent tensions from escalating to the spilling of Cormyrian blood on Cormyrian soil.
Salina Pandora: *gives an appraising glance at Matthias' entourage*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): With this said, I would yield the floor first to our gracious host, Lord Baron Azorus Crownsilver.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *inclines his head and steps aside*
Vindel. Alow.: * a blue silver blade hums a pleasant tune at his side*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *seems to lose his head for a moment*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Gnn
Octavian: *his eye drawn to the sound*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he seems to rest his head on his hand on the table*
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Marister: *focuses on the lord*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *clearly showing sings of a huge headache*
Bao Gur: *bows in his seat*
Uggams Mantooth: *He speaks lowly to Dragon* Pace yourself...you'll cause a scene. *He offers Dragon a snack*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *gets the cookie*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *and eats it meanwhile seems like he clearly shows sings of being Dazzled*
Azorus Crownsilver: Firstly the proclamation that issued was nessisary for the safety and well being of every person in Comryr. You believe it stretched beyond the limits of my authority but.. I would say it didn't reach far enough.
Marister: *raises eyebrow*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards the Baron for a moment*
Octavian: *iron shod boots click the floor quietly as he moves, nearly unheard below the sound of talking. Pressing the cinnamon stick back to his lips*
Azorus Crownsilver: When I came to you. Lord Gigoi and asked that it be made Cormyr wide you. Dismissed my concerns as paranoia and my fears as unfounded.
Azorus Crownsilver: Our Mage Guard has given us ample reason to suggest the dangers inherent in this metal and their ties to Primordial forces; it became very clear that if the Crown would not step in, I would have to.
Octavian: *settles his hands to his leather belt*
Marister: *briefly locked over and nodded to Octavian then focused back to the lord
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks at Azorus Crownsilver*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Once he gets his senses back*
Azorus Crownsilver: As for the forces that marched through I granted a rite of petition to Matthias based on his claim that he needed a small force of men in order to rectify the curse upon his lands.
Ezra : *quietly scans crowd watching for anything out of place*
Vindel. Alow.: *stretches*
Runa Rothgar: Runa begins jotting down notes in her journal, using a piece of charcoal coiled with a firm paper strip.
Entori Be'te'wa: *listens folding his hands*
Abigail Constance: *nervously rubs her red cord*
Azorus Crownsilver: As far as Greatgaunt it is my bank that collects and funnels their taxes to the crown. This arrangement regarding them being autonomous is unnecessary. I only extend the proclamation over them because of the dire nature of the threat.
Azorus Crownsilver: As for the dispute between the two Lords Zorastryl...
Ezra : *listens to runas scratching with charcoal on parchment*
Azorus Crownsilver: It's clear to me that neither one of you is fit to rule.
Tanya Steel uses item's special power.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Arches a brow.*
Octavian: *his gaze moves to Mathias and Marister*
Lilith Starling: *draws a scrap of yellow silk from her bodice and quickly covers her mouth*
Marister: *surpised look on his face*
Vindel. Alow.: *chuckles at the words spoken then quites himself*
Abigail Constance: *darts a nervous glance at Matthias*
Mahanae: maintains an unphased look.
Matthias Zorastryl: *tilts his head*
Azorus Crownsilver: Marister- you say yourself you had over a decade you've been working to end this curse; and I have been informed that you have failed time and time again. While I trust that you have good intentions; My reserves have recommended you highly...
Ezra : *watches room*
Runa Rothgar: Runa jots more notes, her demeanor stoic and eyes analytical.
Azorus Crownsilver: I feel you lack the experience necessary to rule. You need to learn and garner proper experience. You could have been doing so in Greatgaunt.
Azorus Crownsilver: As for you, Matthias Zorastryl.
Ezra : *seems to be watching for hands near daggers and such*
Marister: *his weapons would be peace bonded*
Azorus Crownsilver: It has been clear since your unruly deception regarding the number of men you intended to lead through our domains that your intentions are quite devious. Those men of yours- a great portion of them are Sembian recruits, are they not? Do you have any intention on abiding by the Crown-
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *low tone to Uggams* It seems like..... In the end the quarrel might turn out against all odds...
Azorus Crownsilver: If they do not leave the lands to you?
Azorus Crownsilver: I do not think so.
Uggams Mantooth: *He says something low to Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks carefully at Azorus as he mentions Sembian troops crossing Cormyan borders*
Azorus Crownsilver: I am also aware you are said to be immortal. A creature beyond the divine law. You have no place to rule in Cormyr.
Aeron Nathos: *raises eyebrow*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *nods to Azorus*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *frowns.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *raises an eyebrow and glances at Lord Matthias*
Azorus Crownsilver: That's all I have to say.
Salina Pandora: *a small smile curls on her lips as she looks the rugged blond-haired baron up and down*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *low tone* I think we can trust him *looking at Azorus*
Matthias Zorastryl: *scoffs and waits his turn to speak*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Baron Crownsilver...
Marister Zorastryl: *Frowns pointedly at the Baron before looking over his shoulder at those behind him.*
Ving Lyonald: *Rubs at his chin while he regards the two Zorastryls calmly.*
Dimitri Golde : *Stays quiet, hands clasped behind his back.*
Salina Pandora: *pretends to jot down some notes*
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers Marister a confident look and nod.
Entori Be'te'wa: *simply nods to Marister*
Marister Zorastryl: *Shifts his attention forward, his confident stance maintained for now.*
Mahanae: a polite smile to Marister.
Vindel. Alow.: *nods to Lord Zorastryl*
Marister: *returned the smile* *back to stoic look*
Marister: *decudes to stand by ezra
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I recall when you visited Court in Suzail recently and the claims that were made. On matters supernatural I'm inclined to defer to the advice of the College of War Wizards. I suspect less was known than than now and perhaps the matters we discuss today will sway the Court towards these concerns.
Ezra : *maintains crowd watch*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *concerns.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Azorus, is it your true believe that these matters not only threaten to escalate tensions in the Western Reach but also pose a danger to the Kingdom at large?
Ezra : *looks like hes not used to new uniform yet*
Ezra : *slight nod to Marister*
Azorus Crownsilver: Absolutely. My High Mage and my mage guard have investigated the risks and have made a very convincing argument that we are facing dire threats. Made even more dire due to the nature of the star metal. It is unlikely that some supposed Immortal would emerge during such
Azorus Crownsilver: troubling times.
Matthias Zorastryl : *he looks to Giogi*
Entori Be'te'wa: *hm*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): A supposed immortal?
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I understand that the High Mage of Valkur's Roar is a Red Wizard of Thay. Is that correct?
Uggams Mantooth: *He nods at something, to Sir Callen*
Marister: *looked over at Sir Callen's table then back to the lords*
Azorus Crownsilver: Indeed and as the crown the forces me to endure. However, Salazar has been performing exceptionaly well compare to his predecessor.
Ezra : *keeps watching filled hall*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is the High Mage of Valkur's Roar present, Lord Baron?
Azorus Crownsilver: Salazar step forward.
Marister: *briefly nodded to Tanya*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): High Mage. *nods*
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he tips his hat* Warden
Octavian: *looks up and around*
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks*
Octavian: *coughs into his hand*
Marister: *wonders what the whispering is*
Marister: *focuses on the lord*
Ezra : *listens quietly , watching crowd*
Entori Be'te'wa: *over his shoulder*I believe Crownsilver is 'playing the field'*
Entori Be'te'wa: **whispered*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Watches Lord Rothford.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): High Mage?
Frankfurt Rothford: *winks at Yashiera*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Yes Warden?
Yashiera Jassaan: ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Please elaborate about the concerns you raised with the Baron.
Azorus Crownsilver: I called you up here to explain the risks with the metal. Perhaps I should call the stand in for Arician?
Aeron Nathos: *clears throat*
Entori Be'te'wa: *smirks*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Very well
Runa Rothgar: Runa perks an eyebrow. Pencil in hand, wriggling... ready to get .. it.. on .. with the journal.. as the High Wizard speaks.
Vennis Haler: *nods respectfully to the Baron*
Salazar Von Nefzon: This star metal as we call it, arrived with the appearance of a comet that has appeared occasionally. At first, the only thing that was known is that it was next to impossible to work into metal. Doing so, would kill or harm the person who attempted it.
Salina Pandora: *nods to Azorus with a smile*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances back to Ambrose for a moment*
Salazar Von Nefzon: One of the unique and obvious qualities, was that the Star Metal seemed to have its own song. After the initial rush and grab new evidence came about. And it was discovered that Star Metal could in fact be smith-ed into weapons, armor and the like. However the process is dangerous.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back at High Mage Salazar*
Mynian Copperhand: *takes a slow look around*
Salina Pandora: *watches Salazar*
Salazar Von Nefzon: With the aid of my second in command, and a few others we have discovered that Star Metal carries a sinister element. Should enough of this metal be gathered together, we could trigger a cataclysmic event that would certainly change our existence as we know it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards the Baron for a moment*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Seems not impressed whit Salazar and what he says*
Aeron Nathos: *turns his head toward Bryce, then back to Sal*
Mynian Copperhand: *blinks looking down then nods once*
Frimgarold Scheppenfiedlen: *twitch and glare at Matthias*
Mynian Copperhand: *tips her hat in pardon*
Frimgarold Scheppenfiedlen: *twitch and warm smile at Marister*
Lilith Starling: *smiles*
Octavian: *dips his head*
Salazar Von Nefzon: They carry with them Chaos, and we are already seeing evidence that Chaos is taking a firm grip in Cormyr. Urbuchek, the proclamation, the family dispute. All elements we believe can be traced back to the metal itself.
Ezra : *watchs room and people in it*
Aeron Nathos: *touches his scar on his face for a moment*
Mynian Copperhand: *folds her arms, leans back on the wall and crosses her legs at the ankles*
Vennis Haler: *glances over to Mynian*
Azorus Crownsilver: So you can see Lord Giogi there is indeed credible risk. Thank you Salazar.
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he nods and looks to Lord Giogioni*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I have a question, gentlemen
Salina Pandora: Salazar dear, any word on that special little dagger that was stolen off of Shamoke? It seems to play a "key" role in this.
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he shakes his head*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): You said that enough of this metal if gathered together could trigger a cataclysmic event. If that is case, what was the purpose of the proclamation? Doesn't that gather all the metal together in one place?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks between the two*
Marister Zorastryl: *smirks*
Salazar Von Nefzon: That is my current fear yes. You see...
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Giogioni and thinks*
Azorus Crownsilver: I uh.. Well it was advised to me that we must gather it to keep it out of the hands of Urbuchek and out of the hands of Matthias as well as Marister...
Entori Be'te'wa: *eyes Tanya*
Azorus Crownsilver: And.. *he yield to Tanya*
Ezra : *watches and listens quietly*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: ....
Salazar Von Nefzon: If a piece of metal is to be placed upon an altar of the owner's god. A vision will be granted. This vision drives one to gather all of the metal they can. And should they do so, their vision will come to pass.
Mynian Copperhand: *eyebrow arches slightly at that*
Ezra : ....
Abigail Constance: *perks up at that*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Their vision?
Salazar Von Nefzon: Several suffer from this affliction already. Including a certain orc.
Azorus Crownsilver: We gathered it to keep it out of dangerous hands... but Lord High Marshall...
Ezra : *seems worried at that*
Azorus Crownsilver: We are here to discuss a fief dispute.
Salina Pandora: My understanding is that it would open a rift to another plane, such as where the Chaos Hound resides.
Aein Sulus: *Ahems*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Azorus*
Uggams Mantooth: *Lowly* Oh, thank goodness. Here I thought I'd misread the proclamation about the council...
Entori Be'te'wa: *he nods to Tasar*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over at the lady in white at that*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at the Baron and then back at Salazar*
Matthias Zorastryl: No! You corrupt lord. You just want it all for yourself! You have been obsseded with it.
Salazar Von Nefzon: The vision is a ruse I believe. And it is tailored to the inner desires of one's own heart. A truely effective way to garner soldiers to collect the metal.
Aein Sulus: Matthias.
Mahanae: quietly listens, her eyes closed and serenity adorning her facial traits.
Aein Sulus: Please wait your turn my lord
Runa Rothgar: Runa quietly walks up behind Marister to whisper in his ear.
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *Looks to the door*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *crosses his arms and leans back, looking troubled.*
Ezra : *remains alert*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks at Sir Callen for a moment*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Are you able to tell me who you believe suffers from this afflriction, High Mage?
Zodika Alho'ohani: *brown eyes looka round the room, eventually settling on Mynian a moment*
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods to Aein and smirks a little*
Aein Sulus: *he smiles back to Matthias*
Kali Jarnna: *Nods to Marister
Octavian: *dips his head lightly looking to Zodika*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *seems mildly distracted by the sudden appearance of Zodika.*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks forward again*
Kali Jarnna: *Stands in the back to observe*
Entori Be'te'wa: *slides up to runa*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Urbuchek. The current warlord of Arabel's orc forces. I can not say other names with confidence.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *she nods politely to Octavian*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks to Runa and Entori*
Salina Pandora: *murmurs quietly*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he turns his attention back to the high mage as he speaks.*
Abigail Constance: *glances at Zodika, seems to shrink in her chair*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I see.
Matthias Zorastryl: *coughs* Azours *cough*
Kali Jarnna: *nods*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Baron Azorus*
Marister: *murmers low tones to kali*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Ezra : *stands strait , back to wall watches crowd more the lords*
Mynian Copperhand: *glances over slightly at Zodika, tips her hat slightly at her*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is there anything else you wish to say, High Mage?
Zodika Alho'ohani: *smiles and nods some then tugs her hood back up*
Aein Sulus: *he simply smirks*
Salazar Von Nefzon: I only wish to express that we end this business swiftly. That we consider the threat of war that looms over us when making that decision. Aside from that, I will yield the floor.
Mynian Copperhand: *looks around at the various folk and the hall*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Threat of War. War with whom is concerning you, Mage Salazar?
Entori Be'te'wa: *slides back to his position*
Abigail Constance: *darts a nervous glance at Zodika*
Salina Pandora: Personally, I believe these lords and others are being manipulated by a force far greater that poses an existential threat to this realm. *said cocktail conversation style as she plays with her rings" ...just a theory
Salazar Von Nefzon: Urbuchek intends to destroy us all. *he starts to move towards his seat*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *motions a slight nod at Wyvernspur*
Matthias Zorastryl: Salazar speak true. The orc is a grave concern. Much more than men.
Matthias Zorastryl: *me*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Lord Matthias*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back to Baron Azorus*
Matthias Zorastryl: *gives Giogi a huge smile*
Aein Sulus: Lord Matthias and his men, the men I am commanding, they represent no threat to Cormyr.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): You issued the proclamation to requisition this star metal to keep it from being accumulated by others who are a threat to the kingdom?
Vindel. Alow.: *looks to Aein*
Entori Be'te'wa: *looks to Aein*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Glances over towards Vindel*
Vindel. Alow.: *rubs his face some*
Abigail Constance: *finds the floor interesting*
Azorus Crownsilver: Yes. That is correct.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Looks to Lord Rothford, then to Matthais, then back. Frowns.*
Ezra : *keeps eye on crowd watch for hands near weapons*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): And in so doing you imposed your will upon the township of Greatgaunt?
Azorus Crownsilver: It is my duty to protect everyone in my charge it was necessary to prevent the interaction of the star metal with the curse. Yes I did. I stand by it. I would do it again.
Entori Be'te'wa: *taps his staff with his nails*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Frowns pointedly at Azorus*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron, who exactly falls under your charge?
Vindel. Alow.: *shakes his head*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods at something whispered.
Ezra : *slight nod to marister*
Azorus Crownsilver: As Lord of Cormyr I am charged with the township and surrounding lands of Valkur's Roar. The threat is greater than my lands and as a Lord of Cormyr I move to protect the whole of it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Would a representative of Greatgaunt step forward?
Marister: *looks top Sir Callen*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He stands, his old bones creaking.* Come along, gentlemen.
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a breath*
Marister: *then back to the lords*
Vindel. Alow.: *pushes up then speaks softly to Mathias*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Greetings, Lord Giogi Wyvernspur. *A weary smile* I am Sir Callen, of Greatgaunt. It has been some time.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Uggams in silence but whit determination on his eyes*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Well met Sir Callen. It is good to see you once again.
Uggams Mantooth: *He starts to sweat like a pig*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): These two with me acted as Volunteers in Greatgaunt and also have some pertinent information to the case they may wish to share on Greatgaunt's behalf. This is Uggams, and this fellow goes by Dragon.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *bows his head*
Uggams Mantooth: *He also bows his head*
Abigail Constance: *blinks at Dragon*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Uggams, Dragon *nods to each then looks back at Sir Callen*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): The Greatgaunt Council has heard these concerns- and the heart of this dispute has been felt within our township. It's..caused discord m'lord. I only have a few things to say.
Mynian Copperhand: Coor ... *coughs*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): When the Western Reach Accords were dissolved, our council was formed to rule over the fief of Greatgaunt autonomously.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): While we understand the ease of having our taxes passed through Lord Crownsilver to reacht he crown, we feel as a Council that he has overstepped his bounds.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): None of these reasons expressed here today were sent to us before the Proclamation was made.
Ezra : *scowls at Thurian*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): I had to respectfully decline carrying out this edict to the Baron's Reservists, Chief Inquisitor Steel, Magus Arician, and others.
Ezra : *keeps watchs people in the hall*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If the threat is truly so great as it has been made out to be- why were we not informed of the details or included in the deliberation of how to handle this proclamation?
Salina Pandora: *perks an ear*
Ezra : *ingnors him as hes on duty , keeps watching crowd*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *her dark hood faces forward, easily being able to observe the Ilmateri from its direction*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If you thought to reach out to the Crown, then you may pass edicts over your own lands. The Proclamation needn't have included Greatgaunt until you had the proper approval.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Perhaps a member of the Greatgaunt Council could have been brough with you to Court, if they have a stake in these circumstances. The autonomy of the Council must be maintained, even if that means further negotiations.
Kali Jarnna: *Peers around Marister*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He inclines his head appreciatively to Lord Giogi*
Azorus Crownsilver: *he takes a deep breath* Understood. Lord Giogi.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Now the Borders of the Zorastryl fief also cause us alarm.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Their old lands- those these gentlemen seek to reclaim, their border overlaps over half of Greatgaunt.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *head bow to Giogi*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): This fief cannot be claimed without redrawing borders and ensuring our autonomy.
Vindel. Alow.: *nods*
Ezra : *glance to the shadow group along the eastern wall*
Mynian Copperhand: *tilts her head slightly, eyeing the speakers*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Matthias has proven himself a disruptive force in Greatgaunt. His mongering nearly lead to blows in Greatgaunt between these two groups. I fear his rule.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Marister has proven...incompetent in some areas and has a few unsavory edges. However, he has been a common sight and villager of Greatgaunt for over ten years now.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If he would take a seat at the town council, I will take him under my wing and he would make a fine noble. That is the Council's wish.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): He can learn with time- and gain the experience he needs to be an effective ruler of his new fief.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Flicks a glance at Marister.*
Vindel. Alow.: *clears his throat at that*
Ezra : *slight nod to Maristers remark*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Sir Callen. I read over some history during my journey to Valkur's Roar for this moot.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The township of Isinhold was given autonomy by the Crown long ago when both Redmist and Zorastryl claimed the territory as their own. The autonomy of the township was established to prevent this dispute from escalating to bloodshed.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): This ruling still exists today and binds Greatgaunt, Valkur's Roar, and Zorastryl. The autonomy of Greatgaunt will be maintained.
Marister: *smiled
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias, and then looks at Baron Azorus*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *glances at Lilith as she approaches, but quickly returns his gaze and attention to the speaker.*
Lilith Starling: *polite clap*
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): With that said, is there more that the delegation from Greatgaunt wishes to say?
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a breath* I would.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Me too
Entori Be'te'wa: *studies uggams*
Mynian Copperhand: *crosses her ankles the other way, resettles herself against the wall*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances to Uggams with great interest.
Uggams Mantooth: *Thought he sweats like a pig, something is off, as soon as he speaks; he is uncharacteristically clear and audible, as well as confident*
Ezra : *raise's eyebrow at Dragon and Uggams wishing to add something*
Uggams Mantooth: First, there is something that I feel ought to be established. The Baron Crownsilver did say that Matthias Zorastryl sought permission for his landing...A small force. I do not doubt this happened.
Mahanae: smiles softly as she watches Uggams.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He smiles and pats Uggam's shoulder.*
Uggams Mantooth: Yet, it is the common understanding, of which I do not doubt, that the force he brought in numbered in hundreds. Some have said a 'thousand'. This is a force known as an 'army'.
Uggams Mantooth: And this force, it did indeed disrupt the peace in Greatgaunt. What is more, it was wholly unnecessary.
Marister: *nods to teh whisper*
Marister: *smirked at hi's words*
Ezra : *keeps watching crowd*
Uggams Mantooth: *He gestures vaguely towards Mattthias* I once marched at this man's beckoning, into the mansion belonging to the Zorastryl's. He has commanded the loyalty of powerful adventurers, and received the support of the Volunteers.
Uggams Mantooth: With these alone, taking the mansion was already bound to be a simple affair. The reason, then for the -army-, is clear to me.
Uggams Mantooth: It is his wish, that as in ancient times, he may support his claim through force of arms. The underlying threat of the tantrum he can throw, if he should now have his way.
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Uggams, taking in his words*
Uggams Mantooth: Cormyr, in its pursuit of fairness and justice, has long since surpassed such barbarity. It should not go unremarked upon, nor tolerated. *Clears throat* That..is my opinion. On that.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *nods at uggams*
Uggams Mantooth: As for Marister Zorastryl, and his eligibility as a ruler...Within the past two months, I have only become aware of his actions.
Lilith Starling: *nods, leaning a bit closer to him, but her eyes remain on Uggams*
Ezra : *slight nod to Uggams as well*
Uggams Mantooth: For over a decade, now, the Zorastryl Manor has been home to an endless supply of undead...A force that would always be a threat to Greatgaunt. As well as its neighbors. My hometown, and Valkur's Roar.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Marister for a moment*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *listens intently as Uggams speaks.*
Octavian: *folds his hands behind his back*
Uggams Mantooth: And for this decade, Marister has been at the forefront of quelling this threat. The undead have never rose into a significant force, for he always used his own coffers to make sure they were dealt with.
Marister: *nodded
Uggams Mantooth: He may not have made -rocks- fall from the sky, to bring a mysterious solution...But because he had done this, we have remained safe from that threat.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at the Baron*
Ezra : *watchs for hands near weapons
Uggams Mantooth: And for that, regardless of his abilities, or lack thereof, as a ruler...
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head to Uggams, standing with bolstered confidence.*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Smiles a bit*
Uggams Mantooth: He does deserve to be rewarded. As Cormyr wouldn't let its heroes fade into obscurity.
Marister: *grinned*
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a heavy breath, and seems vaguely like he wants to die as he squeezes out the ending* Thank you.
Runa Rothgar: Runa gives Uggams a nod of approval.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at uggams then at lord azorus*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back to Uggams* No, thank you.
Uggams Mantooth: *Wipes some sweat off of his face*
Entori Be'te'wa: *nods to uggams*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Do you have more to add, Dragon?
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks then smirks again*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *takes the center*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Mynian Copperhand: *corner of her lip turns up*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *rubs her face*
Ezra : *slight on duty smile to Uggams*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Lord Giogi , Baron Azorus , people of Greatgaunt and Valkur´s Roar
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I am dragon , paladin of Bahamut
Matthias Zorastryl: *snickers*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And today , i am going to unveil the secret that everyone is keeping off
Aein Sulus: Well this is already a mess
Aein Sulus: //whisp*
Ezra : ...
Mahanae: her face winces for a moment.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The true nature of the Star metal the Primordial of love who everyone fighted for in the past , Feyrza. And her wicked game to find her suitor
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As she hosts the power of will
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: To whoever wins and completes her game
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He raises a brow somewhat at Trauson.*
Vindel. Alow.: *a blue silver blade at his side hums a pleasant tune*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Eyes Dragon*
Abigail Constance: *finds the floor super interesting*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Primordial of love?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the crown should know
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Feyrza
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: A long time forgotten primordial
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Whit the help of Runa here , we asked Oghma
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And he told us the story of her
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Why did she left
Marister Zorastryl: *He glances over his shoulder at Runa.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: She was a primordial of beauty and love who everyone was after
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Dragon's pink belt*
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers a nod, confirming.
Uggams Mantooth: *He turns towards Runa, holds a shrug and makes a "Get a loadda this" face*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: All the gods and planar beings
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Fighted an endless war to captivate the primordial
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: She , as she did not decided who would be her suitor
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Left the planet on the form of the comet
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Only to come back to finish the long quarrel and to find whoever she is destined to bond whit
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As some individuals have been elected as the players in her wicked game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The dragons who you saw
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Where the arbiters on the game under her instructions
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Wearing the crowns that could communicate whit her directly and hear her voice
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The shards are the key for the potential of willpower of whoever dons it
Gulmog Drogal: *scratches his chin slowly and listens*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And the stronger the will the more Feyrza will give the user
Ezra : *watchs room*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As baron Azorus and I clearly share on simple sight a common goal
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I am tired of all this mistery
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Who is nothing that impending doom for all of us
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Bahamut gave me a vision but is not what i seek of her
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As others might know
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The power of Feyrza
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I got contacted by the silver dragon who is an arbiter of her game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And fought the blue dragon who currently helps the orcs
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the chromatics are breaking the rules of her game
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Baron Azorus*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And are partaking in the game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: So do I
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As feyrza told the dragon to seek where i was
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: My goal and the baron goal which i presume is simple
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Win the game and ask her to leave
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: If we keep hiding the truth and making each other enemies
Lilith Starling: *turns to face him, meeting his eyes for the first time*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: We no only have to fight the inner enemies but the big spectrum
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Amn
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Sembia
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Zenthel Keep
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Dragons such as Klauth or Balagos
Yashiera Jassaan: *Yawns.*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *rubs her face again*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Even the return of Ixamrunmaughzeraph
Marister: ....
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *winces*
Entori Be'te'wa: ....
Mahanae: sighs.
Mynian Copperhand: *blinks*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Frowns*
Salina Pandora: *deadpan look*
Entori Be'te'wa: *grits his teeth*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *clears his throat*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: So , stop hiding your secrets
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And cooperate
Vindel. Alow.: *yawns loaudly*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Dragon
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Sir
The Voice: *A hush from the table at the name spoken.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Was this star metal used to conjure your vision?
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He gives Giogi that Sir Callen look that can only mean he did not plan this at all.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes sir
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: But the vision
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Is not what i seek for
Matthias Zorastryl: *drums his fingers on the desk*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the vision showed me to build a Bahamut statue to challenge an impending doom
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is the person you mentioned, Runa of Oghma present?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As i do not seek that other than the complete removal of Feyrza and cast her away
Lilith Starling: *turns again to him, offering her hand*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Even if my life its the price of the coin for that
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *points at Runa*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks about* Runa would you join us for a moment?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Oghma does not seek the metal
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *looks down at the hand quickly, gives it a firm shake.*
Octavian: *brushes his thumb across his lips*
Uggams Mantooth: *Offers Runa a sympathetic look*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he grins.*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances to Dragon a moment, pursing her lips before standing up slowly and approaching, "Indeed , M'Lord . I am Runa Rothgar, Priestess of Oghma.. for the record."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Well met Runa.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Did you have a vision as well?
Kali Jarnna: *Watches the one called Runa*
Matthias Zorastryl: *shifts his weight*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Eyes Runa and the courtroom*
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head. "It will be difficult for the people here to believe my words, but I would not consider my encounter a vision, more of a.. divination, M'lord."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): A divination. Would you please elaborate?
Lilith Starling: *bright smile, but her eyes are on Runa*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods and glances about to all gathered, slowly pacing as her eyes settle randomly to the people. "My divination.. over a vision contained questions I asked.. and answers. Most who have visions are only seeing images in their mind, will of their dietes.." She gestures to Dragon..
Runa Rothgar: She continues..
Ezra : *keeps eye on crowd not speakers*
Runa Rothgar: " As Dragon explained his vision, the seem to be a will of their diety.. obscure in text, but precise in meaning.. no chance to really ask questions. I was met with one who guards the Font of Knowledge. I was able to ask questions regarding the Shards of Feyrza, as Dragon explained.."
Runa Rothgar: She continues..
Octavian: *reaches up to pinch the end of the cinnamon stick hanging from his lips. A quarter turn is given then he places his hands to his belt adjusting his feet*
Runa Rothgar: "I wanted to know the metal's history.. and.. as the HIgh mage stated.." She gestures to him. "His words confirm my divination as you can all see. The stories and analytic intertwine. Feyzra desires a suitor for her game.. and to be whole again.. if they are gathered.....
McGuffin : //ooc we will post logs of this for those who are here but had to leave
Entori Be'te'wa: *entori stands listening, beside others till the end of the evening*
Marister: *listen*
Ezra : *watches and listens*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *waits until Runa has finished*
Runa Rothgar: .. in whole, more and more, a 'winner' of sorts, it could bring about a result that is almost world shattering." She pauses a moment, glancing about. "Those visions.. when I asked about them to Oghma's representative.. or avatar.. stated that Dragon's vision could come to pass..
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Runa as she speaks*
Runa Rothgar: .. if he was to collect a very very substantial mode.. as the High Wizard explained earlier. In theory, this Orc Warlord may also have a vision from his diety as well.. many could.. this may sound fear mongering, but I am only stating facts of what I seen.. " She holds out a hand to pause..
Runa Rothgar: "You may all ask.. or wonder.."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Do you believe this primordial of love is real?
Mynian Copperhand: *quirks and eyebrow and looks at Zodika*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And i want to confirm it
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: By manifesting an small avatar
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods to Dragon and looks at Runa*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: By the power of will and the shards
Runa Rothgar: " Oghma is the one of Knowledge and many links have come together to prove it.. But one may ask..Why should I be believed. I can only state that when I wondered what Oghma's take in this was. The Binder is true to his word.. he is going to observe.. he desires none of the ..
Uggams Mantooth: *His jaw drops and he stares at Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he shows a fragment of Feyrza*
Uggams Mantooth: H- ...h-h-hey now!
Runa Rothgar: ..
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Feryza
Alyndra Greencloak: *Narrows her eyes*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Listen to my words
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances left to Octavian a moment*
The Voice: *A glowing silvery blue metal shard is pulled forth, emitting a quiet hum*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And SPEAK TO US
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over*
Mahanae: sighs as he brings out the metal.
Runa Rothgar: .. He desire none of the metal.. and will only document.. and observe.. I desire to do his will . But it will be difficult and trying."
Uggams Mantooth: *Mutters a bunch of curses as he puts one hand ready to get his weapon*
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *Steps forward.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he seems to hold determination and willpower to call her forth*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Will Save, Roll 1d20: 15 + Modifier: 8 = Total: 23

Salazar Von Nefzon: *takes the shard*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: ....

Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *holds out his hand*

Tanya Steel: Let's escort mister Dragon downstairs to rethink his mannerisms.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *chuckles.*
Seamus: *picks up the shard and hands it over*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *clears his throat.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Do your duty.
Seamus: Swordmajor
Tanya Steel: ~binds his hands and mouth~
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *He is paralyzed*
Ezra : aye ....
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *he nods* Thank you for securing this.
The Voice: *The tension in the air is palpable, council members murmuring to each other at the table, a low din of noise filling the air*
Bao Gur: Oh dear, what a mess.
Uggams Mantooth: *He rubs at his face*
Joseph Dugan: Does 'e need'a be carried?
Seamus: of course
Salina Pandora: And here I thought this meeting was going to be boring.
Tanya Steel: ~nods~ ... a couple of strong backs to help?

Tanya Steel: This way please, gentlemen... for now.
Ving Lyonald: Show is over, Dragon. Now follow us.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he simply seems to be quiet and cooperative*
Uggams Mantooth: Not the right time or place...Sorry. *He murmurs, looking to Dragon*
Dimitri Golde : *He rubs at his eyes.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *simply shakes his head at the chaotic response to such a simple metal object*

Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances about the room*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Just...show of hands...anyone else have a vision recently?
Azorus Crownsilver: *He folds his hands behind his back and looks away at the stoneworks.*

Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *clears his throat* Thank you Runa.

Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Sir Callen
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *shakes his head as if to clear it*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Yes, m'lord?
Uggams Mantooth: *He nods to Sir Callen, still seeming shaken*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He offers, his voice even more weary than before.*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If you think this is a circus, you should see the shows we have in the Greatgaunt Square.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): It is within the Council's authority to take Lord Marister among its membership, but this does not grant Greatgaunt control of Zorastryl Lands should they do so.
Marister: *smirked
Mynian Copperhand: *chuckle snorts*
Uggams Mantooth: *He snorts, despite himself*
Brianna Addams: *chuckles*
Runa Rothgar: Runa can't help but smile at Sir Callen's statement.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He inclines his head.* Understood, m'lord.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Sir Callen. Master Uggams.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He begins moving back to his seat.*
Uggams Mantooth: *He chuckles nervously and nods, before going back*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister, I yield the floor to you.
Marister Zorastryl: V...very good Lord Giogi.
Uggams Mantooth: *Offers a sympathetic look to Marister*
Mynian Copperhand: *adjusts her hat, resumes leaning on the wall*
Marister Zorastryl: I have many points to address. First...I feel I should remind everyone after that display that Matthias is still very much an abomination to the divine law. He has not ended the curse- he remains immortal.
Matthias Zorastryl: Allow me to interject!
Marister Zorastryl: ...
Matthias Zorastryl: *he turns and motions Abigail forward*
Abigail Constance: *rises sitfly*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *settles her dark hood on the cripple*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks between the Zorastryls*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister has the floor, Lord Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have resolved the curse and I am now mortal.
Abigail Constance: *timidly approaches*
Marister Zorastryl: I would like this interjection noted as I had barely began to speak. *He regards Abigail* I am willing to hear what this one has to say, Lord Giogi. *He offers quietly as he begins reviewing a few pages of notes.*
Ezra : *watchs crowd, and Abby*
Matthias Zorastryl: I was slain in a battle along side of my Magus and my Inquisitor. If not for their actions I would be dead even now.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Very well.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to that*
Matthias Zorastryl: Brianna is that not so?
Uggams Mantooth: *Takes off a glove specifically to bite at a nail*
Brianna Addams: *nods* This is correct. He had fallen and I raised him with a raise scroll
Matthias Zorastryl: Vindel is that not so?
Vindel. Alow.: This is Correct Lord Zorastryl.
Runa Rothgar: Runa raises her hand , asking to approach Marister.
Matthias Zorastryl: Abigale has examined me. I would let her testify to these facts.
Abigail Constance: I... t-tended his w-wounds myself... *meek voice*
Marister Zorastryl: *Tense, he approaches Runa.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Abigail*
Abigail Constance: *pales*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Frowns*
Abigail Constance: I... *eherm, then louder* I did... examine his Lordship Matthias...
Seamus: Gives Marister a reassuring look and thumbs up*
Abigail Constance: First on the day of battle...
Ezra : *remains at post watching people in hall*
Abigail Constance: and then I r-returned the following day..
Brianna Addams: *nods comfortingly*
Tanya Steel: Apologies, my lords.
Abigail Constance: And there I did examine him completely...
Abigail Constance: I am a .. h-healer of some ability.. both divine and mundane...
Matthias Zorastryl: *winks*
Marister Zorastryl: *Speaks quietly*
Abigail Constance: And I have.. a f-few... methods t-that aren't... common.
Aein Sulus: *he watches the scene, facial expression hidden by his helmet*
Abigail Constance: *winces at the wink*
Abigail Constance: I f-found his Lordship's mortal body t-to be... completely normal.
Salina Pandora: You could kill the lord now just to confirm it beyond a reasonable doubt...I'm just saying *looks at her nails*
Abigail Constance: He does appear... to be mortal.. physically.
Marister: *smirked at salina
Ezra : *raises eyebrow*
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you can keep those thoughts to yourself *he nods*
Marister Zorastryl: *He looks toward Abigail*
Abigail Constance: *glances back at Wyvernspyr*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks to Salina* I will pass on the offer.
Abigail Constance: But...
Abigail Constance: *seems indecisive*
Tasar Greencloak: *he quirks an eyebrow watching Abigail*
Matthias Zorastryl: *watches Abigail and stares at her*
Aein Sulus: *He watches Abigail*
Mahanae: looks over, watching Abigail carefully.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: *He looks to Abigail curiously*
Abigail Constance: *closes her eyes and takes a deep breath*
Abigail Constance: Im not a brave woman.
Abigail Constance: but I am a zealot.
Abigail Constance: That man terrifies me.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *frowns.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Abigail Constance: And there's some evil in him that I fear for all of our safety if he ever gains power.
Ezra : ...
Matthias Zorastryl: *his blank stare pieces through his helm*
Vindel. Alow.: But he appears normal Yes?
Aein Sulus: Allow me !
Abigail Constance: Physically....
Vindel. Alow.: Then.
Abigail Constance: I don't think the... curse is gone.
Vindel. Alow.: Slander I say.
Abigail Constance: and he knows it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at the High Mage*
Abigail Constance: and he sure didn't want me to mention that.
Abigail Constance: He might have good reasons....
Aein Sulus: *ahems*
Abigail Constance: But... everyone should know and its should be discussed openly.. not in secret like conspirators in the dark.
Matthias Zorastryl: *his stare breaks in to a soft smile as he looks around the room*
Ezra : *watches for movement in crowd*
Salina Pandora: *winks at him*
Marister Zorastryl: *He offers Abigail a reassuring smile.*
Mynian Copperhand: *quirks an eyebrow slightly*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he moves but not closer to her Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: *He echoes Matthias's movements from across the room.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he waits for her to finish before he responds*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias, you do not have the floor.
Abigail Constance: Im sorry my Lord...
Matthias Zorastryl: Do not be. Abigail.
Abigail Constance: I felt terrible evil and I know you know of it... and you scared the wits out of me to be quiet about it.
Matthias Zorastryl: You spoke only the truth.
Marister Zorastryl: *He narrows his eyes at Matthias*
Abigail Constance: *shaking*
Dimitri Golde : *His fingers tap against his hip, frowning.*
Abigail Constance: that's...all ive got to say
Marister Zorastryl: Miss Abigail. Thank you for speaking candidly to us all this evening.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister has the floor.
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head.*
Tanya Steel: ~soft exhale as she rises, deciding to just stay on her feet for the duration of procession~
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Tilts her head, looking more directly at Matthias. She chews her lip.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *goes to speak glances to Giogi and moves back to his table*
Abigail Constance: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *turns his attention to Marister*
Vindel. Alow.: *moves to Mathias's side*
Marister Zorastryl: *He takes a deep breath. Sparing a glance at a collection of notes before folding them once down the middle, and again once more.*
Ezra : *nods*
Uggams Mantooth: *Nods to Marister, a reassuring look, briefly*
Marister: *focuses back to the floor*
Vindel. Alow.: *leans in speaking softly*
Marister Zorastryl: *he adjusts some very fine looking gauntlets, his cloak and belt appearing well made and regal; inspiring.*
Marister Zorastryl: If I may begin; m'lord Giogi. Lord Crownsilver. Sir Callen. My supporters here today. Thank you all for appearing.
Mynian Copperhand: *looks around, eyeing the furnishings*
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods to Vindel*
Vindel. Alow.: *dips his head*
Marister Zorastryl: It has been spoken today that Matthias has brought an army into our lands. An army of mercenaries from Sembia and other lands. Men of ill repute, not men of honor like our very own Militias and Purple Dragons. Sellswords.
Vindel. Alow.: *slips back to his seat*
Marister Zorastryl: All of these men may have foreign interests, outside influences within our borders. No matter what they say they'll raise their swords for- they do not fight for Cormyr.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances left towards Abby for a moment*
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias has shown a remarkable amount of 'free time' during his return. He seeks out adventurers and folks alike speaking of 'better times'. His longevity speaking volumes.
Marister Zorastryl: He criticized the current laws and lordships in Greatgaunt whenever he had the chance. As Sir Callen spoke, his voice has been one of discord.
Mahanae: puts a hand on Runa's shoulder, leaning in to speak in her ear.
Marister Zorastryl: He is positioning himself, as Dora Zorastryl attempted so long ago to be the sole immortal ruler of these lands.
Matthias Zorastryl: Mortal now!
Vindel. Alow.: *clears his throat*
Matthias Zorastryl: Key point. *winks*
Marister Zorastryl: He intends to keep on living eternally. His intents are clear so long as he holds the key to the curse and his immortality under wraps.
Marister Zorastryl: Not Mortal at all. He has spoken in confidence to others that his body takes days to reform.
Ezra : ....
Matthias Zorastryl: That was before the curse was lifted. Now it did not.
Marister Zorastryl: He may be raised in that time, who can say? Any witness from the Zorastryl Keep can tell you, Lord Giogi, that he used a Star Metal Shield as a capstone.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *small nods*
Marister Zorastryl: When we caused blood to seep out of the Well - the source of this curse, it ripped blood from anyone living nearby to refuel its power. He has not ended the curse- he has simply paused its recovery.
Marister Zorastryl: I believe I have the floor, Matthias. *sharply*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances back to Mahanae and nods.
Marister Zorastryl: He has sealed this...artifice with the shield. He could remove it and call upon the foul art of necromancy held as his prisoner any time he wished. A secret? Well, certainly one he may wish kept in case he has to battle the Crown.
Matthias Zorastryl: I see the support of so many has finally given you that spine. Marister.
Kali Jarnna: *Eyes Mathias*
Marister Zorastryl: Are you paying these Sellswords, or are they merely bodies for you to reanimate when they -fall-?
Mahanae: is unphased by Matthias taunts.
Marister Zorastryl: Do they know the truth about you? *He continues*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Smiles*
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looking between the Zorastryls as Marister speaks*
Vindel. Alow.: No matter the story they all end the same. *spoken just above a hush*
Marister Zorastryl: Without formal recognition as Lord of Zorastryl lands, he has already positioned and proffered this name- this title, of West Isinhold.
Salina Pandora: I love it when the plot thickens
Marister Zorastryl: Isinhold. A name changed to keep the peace- brought back. He has used permissions that he is unable to grant himself, to empower merchants to sell on his lands.
Marister Zorastryl: He has a tent, just outside meant for these merchants. A hasty decision when he is not yet recognized as a Baron.
Matthias Zorastryl: A decision that benefits you as heir.
Marister Zorastryl: *Shakes his head* Not with you as an immortal.
Marister Zorastryl: In continuation-
Marister Zorastryl: The means through which Matthias is assuming control of his lands is through this...' Sussession model
Matthias Zorastryl: Big word Marister. Did that come from the rune on your glove? Or the one on your neck? Or the one on your cloak?
Marister Zorastryl: By which a family can confer nobility upon their offspring. *He narrows his eyes at Matthias* And how about yours? Let me speak freely. You'll get -your- turn.
Vindel. Alow.: *looks to Mathias*
Aein Sulus: *He turns to Matthias*
Marister Zorastryl: *With an air of supreme confidence never quite before seen in Marister, he speaks further*
Ezra : *quietly watches crowd*
Matthias Zorastryl: Oh I certainly will. *he motions him to continue*
Marister Zorastryl: This succession works with the expectation that the noble will one day perish and pass on his titles and lands.
Marister Zorastryl: This was good enough for our very own Ondeth Obarskyr and all of our Cormyrian Royal Lines.
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias 'Zorastryl' is no King.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am glad you brought up the Royal lines Marister. Thank you.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias*
Marister Zorastryl: He is no less vulnerable to the c...*A pause, staring.*corruptions that this model is meant to prevent.
Marister Zorastryl: It is self-evident that Matthias is unable or unwilling to let natural succession occur. It is illegitimate for him to make claim by this same process.
Marister Zorastryl: I will make a few promises. I am the best for this position because I am the rightful heir.
Marister Zorastryl: I am not an abomination of the Divine Law. Matthias already worked to kill me.
Vindel. Alow.: False. *coughs*
Marister Zorastryl: He sent me to try and remove the curse when he knew good and well that I could not succeed without Star Metal. He sent me anyway.
Lilith Starling: *steps between Brianna and Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: I believe it was his intention to turn me over to Dora and that by doing that somehow she could become free from the bindings of the curse keeping her there.
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias. Cannot. Be trusted.
Marister Zorastryl: I am not a greedy baron who overstepped his authority in an attempt to seize lands that do not belong to him. *He looks to Crownsilver.*
Tanya Steel: ~levels her gaze at Marister~
Azorus Crownsilver: *smirks*
Abigail Constance: *subtly slips out of the hall with a Purple Dragon Escort
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head to Runa.*
Ezra : *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: My brother and sister in law made a pact with a primordial creature that was meant to ensure them immortality. My brother was to slay me. Instead betrayed Dora and went after the dogs. She betrayed him and stabbed him.
Matthias Zorastryl: This angered the primordial Chaos Hound who cursed the entire house.
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: The curse left them both for ever bond to the house as un-dead.
Matthias Zorastryl: To spite them both further this Chaos hound chose to give the gift to me instead.
Matthias Zorastryl: A gift I do not want.
Matthias Zorastryl: A gif I did not ask for.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Primordials again.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is the gift you speak of? Immortality?
Mynian Copperhand: *nods slowly at something and looks back to the floor*
Matthias Zorastryl: Yes. Lord Giogi.
Matthias Zorastryl: And yes the nature of the metal is the only reason I could not resolve the curse before now.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have tried for 200 years but could not until the metal surfaced. Finally a time when I could.
Matthias Zorastryl: Marister....
Ezra : *watches group standing near Matthias*
Matthias Zorastryl: Ran in there like a wild ... impetuous fool and started blasting the thing with Star metal weapons.
Joseph Dugan: Chaos Houn' ain' exac'ly low-key. Tha's th' one at ate Tyr's han'. Never 'eard of 'im givin' an'b'y an'thin' 'ough.
Matthias Zorastryl: He nearly ripped open the hells in his attempt.
Mahanae: looks back at Tasar.
Aein Sulus: He intended to walk on us to get to the the keep
Mahanae: then ahead.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *points at Joseph* That's what /I/ said...
Uggams Mantooth: *Also, directs a look at Tasar*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over to her right a moment*
Ezra : *slight nod*
Matthias Zorastryl: I and my men. *motions to those around him* And that army you disparage rescued everyone and saved the realms.
Aein Sulus: We let him go and offered help
Vindel. Alow.: *nods* And no matter what story you hear besides this. Mathias Cleansed the land.
Vindel. Alow.: Something the greedy and foolish could not.
Runa Rothgar: Runa purses her lips in thought and jots down a few more notes.
Marister: *looks over to Salazar after that remark*
Aein Sulus: *he nods* When Marister and his men almost shred the veil, we were stood ready and rushed in the keep to empty the pool from all the cursed blood that it contained and we sealed it with star metal
Mynian Copperhand: *squints for a score of seconds, then grins, looks back to the other speakers*
Aein Sulus: Add some wards and glyph s to protect the seal, and the curse wasn't anymore upon the land
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is this source of the curse? How did it come to be?
Vindel. Alow.: Noted as Marister and his men ran like cowering dogs,.
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes head*
Aein Sulus: Just like My Lord explained, when Dora betrayed Matthias' brother
Matthias Zorastryl: The source of the curse is a pool of blood used in a blood ritual just as Marister said.
Aein Sulus: Indeed, the blood in the pool was the reason for the unstoppable rising undeads
Aein Sulus: Now there is no undead on the land anymore
Vindel. Alow.: And Lord Zorastryl stopped it and cleansed it,.
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods and lets Aein talk*
Aein Sulus: The red mist that was floating around the keep is gone as well
Matthias Zorastryl: We.. *he nods to them* We did that.
Aein Sulus: It is My Lord and us that were able to get rid of the curse, not anyone else
Matthias Zorastryl: I did that with six pieces of star metal. No more no less.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have not sought a single piece after that.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *loud whisper* They finish each other's sandwiches, it is so cute.
Matthias Zorastryl: Just enough to make the world a better place.
Aein Sulus: The only thing Marister could do is make things worse, almost got the surrounding lands killed
Matthias Zorastryl: To prove what I say is the truth!
Aein Sulus: The only thing the men have been up to is patrolling around in fear of orcs
Vindel. Alow.: And by Law Lord Zorastryl is Eldest of his House.
Aein Sulus: That he is.
Matthias Zorastryl: I invite everyone to a celebration at my keep!
Tanya Steel: ~sigh~
Alyndra Greencloak: *Rolls her eyes*
Aein Sulus: It is a undeniable fact.
Salina Pandora: That you got rid of the curse, or contained the curse?
Vindel. Alow.: I do not see undead on the land any longer not taint.
Vindel. Alow.: Do you.
Aein Sulus: The curse is not anymore
Vindel. Alow.: I invite you to look for yourself.
Tanya Steel: ~purses her lips, waiting~
Matthias Zorastryl: I did the only thing possible. I contained it. I spell bound the star metal shield in place. Nothing can remove the shield and restore the curse that I know of. It is in effect ended.
Salina Pandora: *smirks* You think that's all there is to confirming the presence of a curse?
Mahanae: lifts a hand.
Matthias Zorastryl: There is not a power other than primordial gods who can remove it completely.
Aein Sulus: I believe myself capable enough to see through people, to see their intentions, the good and bad, and Matthias' intentions are right and good.
Ving Lyonald: *snorts at that*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Cough*
Marister: *rolls eyes*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Some say the curses is ended, others that this measure is only temporary.
Marister: *looks to Mahane's raised hand*
Uggams Mantooth: *He raises a hand, as well*
Vindel. Alow.: It is resolved Lord. *bows his head*
Matthias Zorastryl: Let them speak.
Aein Sulus: I have sworn to protect the pool, if anyone else has a better option or idea, then make yourself heard
Runa Rothgar: Runa sits back considering the words spoken.
Aein Sulus: I do not know any other way it can be dealt with.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Go ahead * looks at Mahanae*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): What, what! Oh hello there.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *small nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *lets them speak*
Aein Sulus: *He awaits for Maha to speak*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he looks to Mahanae*
Vindel. Alow.: He does.
Mahanae: "Thank you Lord Wyvenspur. My name is Mahanae; Wizardess and Priestess of Corellon Larethian. I only wish to point out the Lord Matthias has been speaking about the curse being ended, it being no more, to then later reiterate and then claim it is -contained-, therefore, I believe-
Aein Sulus: We already have a plan.
Mahanae: ..his entire argument is questionable.
Marister: *smiled sightly*
Uggams Mantooth: *He waits for Mahanae to speak up first*
Aein Sulus: *he nods to Matthais*
Vindel. Alow.: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he whispers to his supporters though few they are fierce*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Mahanae*
Mahanae: "I was also closely involved with dealing with this curse; upon my first voyage to this ...mansion of theirs, we had barely touched the font of the problem when this red mist was already pooling of its own devices, without our interference."
Mynian Copperhand: *quietly watches the rest of the goings on then leaves after the last speaker is done*
Matthias Zorastryl: *when Mahane is done he looks for other speakers*
Mahanae: "On the second journey, we were involved in the attempt to examine the origin of the curse then we attempted means to put an end to it; considering that this 'red mist' pooled out, eventually, our group, representing Lord Marister was by no means breaking anything loose as the-
Mahanae: ..lord Matthias and his council has mentioned. But more importantly, he has contradicted his argument, it should be noted"
Mahanae: "That will be all from me"
Vindel. Alow.: But did we not fix your mistakes?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Noted, Mahanae. Thank you.
Matthias Zorastryl: Anyone else?
Aein Sulus: The curse is dealt with, there's is no argument that can deny that fact.
Uggams Mantooth: *He clears his throat* There is an...inextricable tie, between the life of Matthias Zorastryl, and the curse. This is a conflict of interest; as long as he holds the source of the curse under his control, there must always be doubts about his sincerity.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Uggams of the Greatgaunt Delegation
Uggams Mantooth: With that in mind...I propose that regardless of who the land should go to...
Uggams Mantooth: The source of the curse, this blood pool; should be granted to the possession of the War Wizards.
Marister: *grinned
Uggams Mantooth: The curse represents an existential threat to Cormyr; it should never have been a personal crusade.
Uggams Mantooth: They can come to understand its nature beyond doubt; destroy it, if that is possible. I have faith in the Crown to resolve it.
Uggams Mantooth: Ahem...*He bows his head* That's all.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods* Noted Master Uggams.
Matthias Zorastryl: Enough.
Aein Sulus: His Lordship has been working longer than anyone else in this room for a cure to the curse
Marister Zorastryl: *Narrows his eyes and takes a step closer.*
Aein Sulus: And he's been revelant, now he's accepted to come to the meeting, and you still doubt of him
Salina Pandora: But the question, dear, is for whose benefit...
Matthias Zorastryl: You think your so clever. You think you have trapped me with my own words. I never said it the curse is gone. I said resolved. Resolved in the only way possible. For none of you can stop the power of the primordial that start the curse.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have as you said contained it.
Mahanae: shakes her head.
Runa Rothgar: Runa stands up slowly.
Aein Sulus: *he nods firmly*
Kali Jarnna: *nods*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances to her right*
Salina Pandora: Oh I am suitably impressed. But a single person should not be entrusted with its containment.
Runa Rothgar: Runa waist to approach, awaiting exchange of words between Marister or Matthias.
Runa Rothgar: *waits
Brianna Addams: Where were you when all this was happening? Not helping I assure you.
Matthias Zorastryl: And your only argument is my longevity... but I pout out that Vangerdahast the crowns own Royal Magician has similar longevity. That alone is not reason enough to remove a lord from his fief. Otherwise go bring me his head. But you fail to understand the very basic point.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *opens his mouth to speak and closes it again*
Marister: *looks as runa stands
Aein Sulus: *he nods once*
Matthias Zorastryl: IF I am immortal... how can you stop me? If my mortallity is tied to the curse and no power on this plane can stop it. How can you stop me?
Matthias Zorastryl: I do not ask for your permission to retake my lands?
Matthias Zorastryl: I already have.
Mahanae: sighs.
Runa Rothgar: Runa leans against the table, hands upon the top.
Vindel. Alow.: Indeed.
Mahanae: frowns at Vindel.
Aein Sulus: *he crosses his arms*
Aein Sulus: Correct.
Salina Pandora: Regardless of who gets to play Lord of the Manor, there still needs to be some oversight on the source of this curse.
Marister: *nods
Matthias Zorastryl: The fact is that I have already retaken my keep. Already resolved the curse. Already taken my lands and I have the ability to enforce it in fact even if not formally recognized
Vindel. Alow.: It is delt with and Under proper protection.
Aein Sulus: Well said, Magus
Matthias Zorastryl: Which considering the orc threats it would be in your best interest to join in alliance with me for our mutual protection. I do not think the Kingdom will stand against this horde if we are divided.
Mahanae: stares at Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am prepared here and now to pledge fealty to the Crown of Cormyr and to lend my entire army and considerable resources to her defense. I will settle for nothing less than title of Baron. But to show i am a reasonable man I will allow Isinhold to retain its autonomy.
Aein Sulus: Very wise of you My Lord
Marister Zorastryl: You overreach, Matthias. Calling for the head of another Lord? Your whole showing here today is based on a few carefully selected words to protect yourself. I don't have all the perfect words, but I listen to the hearts of my people. The heartfelt plea of the Ilmateri who spoke on your behalf.
Matthias Zorastryl: You are calling for mine!
Marister Zorastryl: The words? The darkness seen in you? I'll take twenty good-hearted men over your ill-gotten army.
Ezra : *watches room*
Marister Zorastryl: We've faced Orcs before. We're Cormyr.
Ezra : *sopt*
Marister Zorastryl: We'll face them again. Together.
Tanya Steel: After the floor is cleared and people have spoken their peace... if I may addendum a point of consideration to the floor, my lord? ~looks to Crownsilver~
Marister Zorastryl: You've not even been in Cormyr for the past two hundred ears.
Marister Zorastryl: years*
Marister: *looks to runa and tanya
Aein Sulus: And in a few months he was able to do so much.
Matthias Zorastryl: *goes to counter but yields to the others*
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you should think about giving him the chance, why do you doubt so much of a man
Azorus Crownsilver: *He watches this procession in careful, focused silence before he speaks up.* Lord Giogi. My Chief Inquisitor would offer words.
Vindel. Alow.: Last I recall you use to take up at the Inn in Gaunt no? You never lifted a finger Until Lord Zorastryl arrived.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Yes, Azorus. I will hear the Inquisitor.
Tanya Steel: I will wait until the... lords... have had their fill... with all due respect.
Aein Sulus: When that man in question has already done so much for this country, for Cormyr, let him help again and again, as I've already said, he is a well hearted and only means good for all.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Winks at Scar.*
Marister: I believe the lady wishes to speak
Marister: *motions to Runa
Vindel. Alow.: I belive Lord Zorastryl has the floor,.
Marister Zorastryl: *He shifts his gaze to Tanya.* I am finished. I think we all see the hearts on the table.
Runa Rothgar: "I just don't wish to be rude.. and speak out of turn.."
Tanya Steel: ~motions to Runa~ ... and then, her words.
Matthias Zorastryl: One last thing.
Aein Sulus: So now I ask you, are you jealous of his success
Yashiera Jassaan: *Yawns.*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *grins.*
Tanya Steel: ~looks to Runa and waits~
Matthias Zorastryl: Of course Abigail spoke the truth. I am touched by a horrible evil. But the mistake it to think I some how wanted it. To think somehow I am not the victim also.
Lilith Starling: *giggles*
Matthias Zorastryl: Ultimately the choice is your Giogi.
Matthias Zorastryl: Before I yield the floor.
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you will find some comfort in working with us, we do not need to be separated, we want to be united, a greater threat is facing us
Runa Rothgar: "I would like to reiterate the issue with that basin.. when we made for an investigation to seek information on ridding the curse.." She nods, looking about.
Ezra : *slight nod*
Salina Pandora: What an adorable little entourage they all make standing behind their lord *smirks*
Aein Sulus: My Lord Matthias has risked his very life for everyone in this room
Matthias Zorastryl: Speak now if you have more to add. *to his supporters*
Aein Sulus: The very least to do would be to allow him to do more.
Salina Pandora: *eye roll*
Marister: *looks to Runa*
Runa Rothgar: "The curse itself when being investigated.. did have some ill effects.. Lady Dora was there, speaking to us while we were examining the cursed basin.." She continues..
Aein Sulus: The best he can, and there is much to do
Brianna Addams: *opens her mouth to speak then waits and sighs*
Matthias Zorastryl: Speak loudly Inquisitor.
Runa Rothgar: "She began speaking of the curse.. and it's history. Obviously we couldn't believe her words.. we thought her deceitful.. however.. one thing I noticed.. "
Matthias Zorastryl: We shall be heard.
Tanya Steel: Not while you have the floor, good ser.
Aein Sulus: So let us not quarrel about this, but let us move together. That is all I had to say for now.
Tanya Steel: I will wait.
Vindel. Alow.: I belive he was Referring to Brianna.
Marister: Runa was speaking
Tanya Steel: Ah... right. ~half grins~ ... my mistake.
Brianna Addams: shhh
Runa Rothgar: "While we were examining the basin.. the crack.. " She gestures to Lord Matthias.. "The one Matthias issued upon the basin the first time.. by the Star Metal Dagger.. was there.." She continues.
Ezra : *stays on duty but watches old friends stand with Matthias*
Runa Rothgar: " That crack seemed to have an effect on Lady Dora.. for her face was also shown a distinguishable scar as well.." The priestess glances about. "One that mimicked the crack on the Basin.."
Matthias Zorastryl: Runa! Thank you... I didn't get any cracks in face did it?
Runa Rothgar: "When one of the investigators began firing arrows with Star Metal into the basin, causing it damage and leaking. Lady Dora began to wail..."
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks at his team* Did I?
Aein Sulus: Not at all My Lord
Brianna Addams: *shakes her head* You did not
Aein Sulus: Looking handsome as as well *he smiles*
Runa Rothgar: "No one will join your party.. Lord Matthias.. because you enjoy interrupting.." She continues.
Aein Sulus: always*
Uggams Mantooth: Let her finish, you blowhards! ...Sorry.
Alyndra Greencloak: *Grins to Uggams*
Matthias Zorastryl: *winks to Runa* How can I resist when you make my points for me.
Aein Sulus: *he snickers*
Runa Rothgar: " Anyways.. that Star Metal caused breakage into the basin.. and this brings up an issue with this bandage put on the Basin.. who is to say.. Star Metal can't break it again? " She adds. "Also.. Star Metal caused a ruckus above the keep.. Chromatic Dragons fighting each other.."
Marister: ...
Runa Rothgar: "Could that possibly be Dragons seeking that Metal?" She shrugs. "Who's to say.. but as of now.. The Basin remains a danger.."
Aein Sulus: *Ahems* May I ?
Marister Zorastryl: If there is no sign of the curse or cracks upon you, maybe your immortality was never due to the curse at all. Note that we only have -your- story to go off of. I don't know of any demonic, primordial force that would 'curse' something with eternal life. Perhaps you sought other means like your brot
Matthias Zorastryl: You see. Runa the army is not there to keep -me- safe from you. Its there to keep the curse safe from -you-.
Marister Zorastryl: Like your Brother? *He interjects, setting his hand upon the table.*
Runa Rothgar: "Oh.. now you are going to be polite..? She glances to Aein. "Your politeness is gone in the wind.. to the Trolls.."
Aein Sulus: Exactly, My Lord
Ezra : *slight chuckle*
Matthias Zorastryl: *cold stare at Marister*
Aein Sulus: I do not understand the reason for all this bickering, the only thing Matthias has done so far is help
Brianna Addams: Might I speak, please?
Runa Rothgar: "And Lord Matthias.. knew about this demon portal.. He wanted us to go down there and toy with it.. no knowledge to us. So he could place blame on us.."
Aein Sulus: And you all find a reason to complain. Of course, Inquisitor.
Tanya Steel: ~amused grin~
Aein Sulus: *ahems* Marister and his men insisted to go
Ezra : *see leaders in front and returns to watching crowd like good soldier*
Mahanae: patiently listens, eyes closed; facial traits serene.
Matthias Zorastryl: Brianna. Speak now.
Aein Sulus: We did not have any choice but to let you through.
Ezra : *dose not chuckle or smirk*
Brianna Addams: I would like to bring out three key facts. One, Matthias has come, dealt with the curse as best he could, cleaned up, fixed the area AND took care of a poisoning of the Zorastyl well. This all in a small matter of time. A land that can help keep Cormyr the great land it is
Brianna Addams: My second, Matthias did not send them to their death, We in-fact tried to stop them, but Marister demanded to go first. We waited letting them try to break the curse.
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head. "Irrelevant.."
Brianna Addams: We only entered without harming others to stop a massive reaction.
Brianna Addams: Shhh
Brianna Addams: Please
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Brianna Addams: The point is, you asked for the curse to be lift, take the basin to the war wizards, but Matthias has taken care of the lands as he should
Brianna Addams: The crown wanted the curse done, the lands taken care of and the people protected. All done
Aein Sulus: *he claps*
Brianna Addams: That is all I have to say. *quietly steps back*
Matthias Zorastryl: *waits for her to finish*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Brianna, taking in her words*
Ezra : ...
Runa Rothgar: "It's not done.. bandages on a basin is not done.. it needs to be fixed.."
Salina Pandora: *watches them all with the cold calculated look of someone who's been around the block a few times*
Mahanae: shakes her head.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to Brianna*
Matthias Zorastryl: *motions for Tanya to speak her peace*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Leans against the pillar, crossing her arms over her chest.*
Mahanae: "Discord on the people? That does not seem to by synonymous of protection either"
Marister: *looks to tanya
Mahanae: she quiets.
Azorus Crownsilver: *Looks over his shoulder, his expression a troubled one.* Speak up, Chief.
Matthias Zorastryl: I yield the floor to Crowsilver's Chief.
Tanya Steel: ~inclines her head~ ... I await the floor... when you are ready and seated. ~to Matthias~
Aein Sulus: Shall we, my Lord
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Speak Inquisitor.
Matthias Zorastryl: Do not presume to command me.
Matthias Zorastryl: If you want to be heard now is your chance. Other wise sit down and keep a lid on it.
Runa Rothgar: Runa mutters. "For Lord Matthias to yield the floor.. someone would have to gag him with a dirty sock.."
Azorus Crownsilver: Matthias. You will not speak to my subjects in that manner in my own Great Hall.
Azorus Crownsilver: Hold thy tongue.
Kai'Arias'tama "Among" Alodel: *Stands*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks to Runa*
Marister Zorastryl: Do you have a sock?
Aein Sulus: Runa, your behavior is strongly disobliged
Vindel. Alow.: Does not Lord Mathias have the floor currently?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): He yielded it.
Aein Sulus: Indeed.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Speak now Inquisitor if you are going to.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Grumbles*
Matthias Zorastryl: No . Vindel I yield it to Tanya who has yet to speak.
Uggams Mantooth: *Mutters to Callen*
Ezra : *keeps watch*
Runa Rothgar: Runa just sits down, calmly, amused by Marister's words.
Tanya Steel: Well, first off, I'm in agreement with my liege on one point specifically... I don't think either of you should be entrusted so quickly, by anyone... considering all matters.
Aein Sulus: *he chuckles at something whispered*
Tanya Steel: Long ago... two hundred years was it? The Zoroastryl family -lost- their noble claim to those lands by way of a dark pact. It could be construed by law that neither of you hold any claim at all, until the Crown weighs in and appoints one themselves... whether it's one of you two or not.
Marister: *grinned
Tanya Steel: My personal recommendations for consideration is this...
Uggams Mantooth: *Nods to Callen, a slight, awkward grin*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Oh, a recommendation? Sure, why not?
Matthias Zorastryl: ...
Aein Sulus: *Ahems*
Matthias Zorastryl: *holds finger up then shrugs and drops it*
Tanya Steel: The Crown might claim the land directly... establish an outpost, and assign a Lionar. This is obviously too dangerous to allow one family with a history to oversee it.
Aein Sulus: *he shakes his head*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Dips head to Tanya*
Tanya Steel: That is all... short and simple.
Marister: *smiles at tanya
Tanya Steel: By your leave, my lord. ~nods to Crownsilver~
Matthias Zorastryl: My Lords and Ladies...
Kali Jarnna: Good point
Marister: Very
Matthias Zorastryl: Your Chief wants to strip you of your blood rights just because it's a little murky. Or a little un clear.
Runa Rothgar: Runa speaks quietly with Marister.
Matthias Zorastryl: Would you stand idly by while your lands are stolen.
Tanya Steel: You did...
Tanya Steel: FOr two hundred years.
Aein Sulus: He sought a cure
Marister: *smirked
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *glances sidelong at Abigail.*
Aein Sulus: And he came back with one
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Abigail Constance: *whispers with Louis*
Tanya Steel: Holding a hand over a bleeding wound is no cure.
Matthias Zorastryl: Giogi... If you quash rightful inheritance and blood rites you throw the entire realm in chaos and civil war.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am sure your wiser than that.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That's enough grand standing Lord Matthias.
Tanya Steel: You lost those rights to the dark pact your family inked.
Matthias Zorastryl: *falls back in line* //ooc did the fallback emote and falls down
Marister: *nodded to tanya
Runa Rothgar: (( *likes how Matthias fell back in line* xD
Aein Sulus: The hand is there and no one else was able to do that before, Tanya.
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi, respectfully? *He speaks up calmly.* May I?
Tanya Steel: I commend you for that... which is why I suggest the Crown directly take interest.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *opens his mouth to speak and closes it again. With a sigh he nods to Lord Marister*
Matthias Zorastryl: //occ cries laughing*
Aein Sulus: If the lands are let to themselves, the risks for the curse to comeback will be much higher
Marister Zorastryl: While I am eager to see my lands restored and disagree with the Chief Inquisitor. I have waited ten years. I am willing to wait another two to let the War Wizards and trusted friends of House Zorastryl ensure the curse is properly dealt with before I take charge.
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods
Marister Zorastryl: I've waited ten. What is two more? I don't think Matthias is so willing to stand down and allow the same. I am...as always. A servant to the Crown.
Aein Sulus: There's a whole army to protect the pool.
Brianna Addams: Sir, if I may?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *exhales and nods* Noted, Lord Marister.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Aye, very well. *gestures*
Brianna Addams: If Matthias and Marister lost their lands, then why did the crown not take care of this curse? Why was it left abandoned
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Brianna Addams: Matthias dealt with the curse when no one else could
Brianna Addams: or did
Mahanae: lifts a hand.
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head.
Aein Sulus: May I add something?
Matthias Zorastryl: I do not recall the Royal Corps of Monster Hunters being sent in.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Surely, join the wagon train son.
Brianna Addams: *smiles slightly*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Stands and stretches*
Vindel. Alow. uses item's special power.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Aah...Mrh. These old bones. Can -I- say something please?
Joseph Dugan: *raises a hand*
Aein Sulus: The pool must be protected at all cost, My Lord Matthias is the one who was able to 'cure' it. I do not think anyone else is better placed to take care of that matter.
Mahanae: still has her hand slightly lifted to point she has a word.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He stretches and rubs at his shoulder*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Rubs her face*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Anyone else? Any visions?
Uggams Mantooth: *He feels empowered to have a snack of his own*
Joseph Dugan: I'd like t' make a comment if they's an opportun'ty.
Ving Lyonald: *laughs*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Yes. Where's the privy? We've been at this for ages.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Oh
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron?
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Adjusts his belt*
Brianna Addams: *chuckles*
Marister: *smirked at Callen*
Mahanae: "If I might add a short statement?"
Azorus Crownsilver: What I don't know I don't use it here.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Inquisitor?
Tanya Steel: ~rises~ ... sir Callen, this way.
Azorus Crownsilver: Chief?
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Thank you, darling.
Joseph Dugan: *still has his hand up*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The man in black...please speak clearly
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Oh? Books? You still keep those around here?
Mahanae: lowers her hand, having been skipped over two people, it is clear she is ignored.
Tanya Steel: ~opens the barracks~
Marister Zorastryl: *Motions to Mahanae*
Joseph Dugan: M' commen' is simply a reques' t' close th' discussion t' commen's. Seems like they's goin' in circles a' this poin'.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Noted. I'm about to.
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods in agreement to Joseph's words
Uggams Mantooth: *When his snack is finished, he has another snack*
Uggams Mantooth uses item's special power.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods to Mahanae*
Ezra : *watch crowd*
Marister: *looks to maha
Mahanae: "I simply wish to make emphasis on Brianna's earlier statement about the Crown doing nothing about the Curse for these last two hundred years I believe it was? And then refute it; We cannot blame the Crown for this? Shall we blame them for every single problem that has arisen? -
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods* Noted. Thank you.
Mahanae: ...for the orcs and undead that plague us for centuries now, left and right? No, of course the Crown is working to aid us, slowly as they are, the Crown has a Kingdom to manage."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: A good point. Lass. *to Mahane*
Mahanae: "I was not finished, but as you will"
Matthias Zorastryl: *he lets her finish*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Go ahead and speak your words quickly miss.
Runa Rothgar: "Are you finished now, Mahanae?"
Mahanae: "I am, yes"
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias
Runa Rothgar: She nods in approval to her words
Matthias Zorastryl: Yes?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is your true age in full?
Matthias Zorastryl: I am not certain any more. I was about forty winters when the curse fell. That was as I believe 206 years ago. So 246 ish?
Aein Sulus: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: Certainly younger that the elves?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias the Crown does indeed remove a family's privilege of nobility when it deems fit. Treason is the most expedient route.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I've heard you say that you will pledge to the Crown your loyalty if you are granted the title of Baron and given claim to the Zorastryl lands.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he frowns.*
Aein Sulus: *he nods and smiles to Brianna*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I remind you that your family has already sworn loyalty to the Crown of Cormyr and rule your lands at the Crown's pleasure.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Drops her hands, bending her knees into a more readied position*
Aein Sulus: *His glance goes all around the room*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): As of now House Zorastryl is recognized as the holders of the rightful claim of your keep and the surrounding lands.
Tanya Steel: ~watching, quite relaxed~
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): This claim excludes Greatgaunt.
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods listening*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The head of a noble house is usually considered an internal matter for a family to determine. However if House Zorastryl cannot determine this matter without shedding blood the Crown is more than willing to step in and appoint the head of the house or to raise up a new one.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That said
Aein Sulus: *he smiles*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): There are questions that need answering before such a determination can be made.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias a circle of War Wizards will visit Zorastryl Keep and inspect this cursed pool to gauge the threat it truly represents. They will also look into this planar gate while they're at it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister is not to be denied access to Zorastryl lands should he wish to set foot upon them.
Vindel. Alow.: We are reconstructing the barn next. *mutters*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): All powers in the Western Reach are to avoid acts of violence against each other. Those who draw blood to assert these claims will forfeit their own.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Save your steel for the orc menace.
Brianna Addams: *nods in understanding*
Aein Sulus: *he sighs of relief*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *exhales* The Crown officials will be dispatched to your lands forthwith. If you cannot settle these matters between yourselves without bloodshed the Crown will step in and the findings from these investigations will be determining factors.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I need a drink.
Tanya Steel: ~quietly rises at the implied conclusion~
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Marister Zorastryl: *A troubled frown crosses his features and he looks toward Runa and the others.*
You have sent a Party Invitation to Salina Pandora.
Matthias Zorastryl: Lord Giogi I have always and will always serve the Crown of Cormyr. I am here because you summoned me so. I will simply will not be subjugated to Crownsliver or the Isinhold. I have already offered a place for Marister in the mansion It is his stubbornness that prolongs this dispute.
Ezra : *slight nod*
Matthias Zorastryl: We are weak because we are a house divided. *to Marister* So I ask Lord Giogi when you make your decision that you remember a nation divided would be weaker still.
Ezra : *slight nod to marister*
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi. I will comply but I must voice protest. During this entire series of proceedings, we have presented evidence Matthias has made contradictory claims. Shown an utter lack of discipline. Shown disrespect. I believe in the Purple Dragon values that you stand upon.
Matthias Zorastryl: *he waits at Marister speaks before a final comment from each of them.*
Marister Zorastryl: I don't know if you're making this decision trying to protect us from the Orcs? But I truly hope that you're right and these foreign soldiers won't be the ones to be our undoing before the orcs.
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks at Matthias*
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks at Marister*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks at Giogi*
Matthias Zorastryl: *Looks at Giogi*
Tanya Steel: ~rests her hands clasped in front of her~
Mahanae: looks to Tanya a moment.
Matthias Zorastryl: Lord Giogi. Everyone here. Reason wisely your companions.
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi, everyone here....Reason wisely your companions.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to all*
Marister Zorastryl: *Shakes his head.*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *nods.*
Marister Zorastryl: *He gestures to his side of the room.*
Marister: *head dip
Ezra : *watchs long time friends leave*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Ambrose, see to the investigation.
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers a polite nod to a bow upon the hall before departing.
Dimitri Golde : What a pleasent evening. *He sighs, shaking his head.*
Uggams Mantooth: Sir Callen...he's been in there a while, hasn't he?
Mahanae: dips her head to the court and follows suit.
Ezra : *nod to runa and Mahanae*
Scar Caellen: That was a lot o' talkin'.
Bao Gur: All circles.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *speaks quietly with Baron Azorus*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron *inclines his head*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Hello everyone.
Ezra : *slight nod to Marister*
Antoine Riviore: *Crosses her legs and leans back.*
Marister: *nods to all who see him
Octavian: *nods*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I am Lord Giogi Wyvernspur, Warden of the Western Marches.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I have been sent as the Crown's representative to look into current affairs in the Western Reach and to see that matters do not escalate to bloodshed.
Vennis Haler: *eyes follow the beautiful Antoine somewhat*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): There are a number of matters that have been raised to the Crown's attention and I hope that with the help of those gathered the pieces may be put together and a course may be determined.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *the paladin seems to be concentrating in the area*
Marister: *listens and observes all in attendance
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I know that a proclamation has been made by the Baron of Valkur's Roar about the collection of a certain precious material
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The Crown is also aware...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That an armed force landed upon Cormyrian shores and marched into Zorastryl lands.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Leaning lazily against the wall, the dark-skinned woman keeps her gaze turned toward the left end of the table, moving lightly between Lords Rothford and Truesilver.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): It has come to the Crown's attention that there is a dispute over the ruler ship of Zorastryl lands by two members of the family.
Ezra : *seems to watch room more than lords*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Seems to be on his toughs*
Vennis Haler: *eyes shift over to Matthias*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Concentrating*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): And I am aware that the Council of Greatgaunt has petitioned the Crown for support of it's autonomy in the midst of these circumstances.
Matthias Zorastryl: *crosses his arms and simply scowls as he hears Giogi speak*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I would like to hear from each respective interest in these matters so that the whole of this tale may be understood and that a course may be set for us all to follow to prevent tensions from escalating to the spilling of Cormyrian blood on Cormyrian soil.
Salina Pandora: *gives an appraising glance at Matthias' entourage*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): With this said, I would yield the floor first to our gracious host, Lord Baron Azorus Crownsilver.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *inclines his head and steps aside*
Vindel. Alow.: * a blue silver blade hums a pleasant tune at his side*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *seems to lose his head for a moment*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Gnn
Octavian: *his eye drawn to the sound*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he seems to rest his head on his hand on the table*
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Marister: *focuses on the lord*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *clearly showing sings of a huge headache*
Bao Gur: *bows in his seat*
Uggams Mantooth: *He speaks lowly to Dragon* Pace yourself...you'll cause a scene. *He offers Dragon a snack*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *gets the cookie*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *and eats it meanwhile seems like he clearly shows sings of being Dazzled*
Azorus Crownsilver: Firstly the proclamation that issued was nessisary for the safety and well being of every person in Comryr. You believe it stretched beyond the limits of my authority but.. I would say it didn't reach far enough.
Marister: *raises eyebrow*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards the Baron for a moment*
Octavian: *iron shod boots click the floor quietly as he moves, nearly unheard below the sound of talking. Pressing the cinnamon stick back to his lips*
Azorus Crownsilver: When I came to you. Lord Gigoi and asked that it be made Cormyr wide you. Dismissed my concerns as paranoia and my fears as unfounded.
Azorus Crownsilver: Our Mage Guard has given us ample reason to suggest the dangers inherent in this metal and their ties to Primordial forces; it became very clear that if the Crown would not step in, I would have to.
Octavian: *settles his hands to his leather belt*
Marister: *briefly locked over and nodded to Octavian then focused back to the lord
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks at Azorus Crownsilver*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Once he gets his senses back*
Azorus Crownsilver: As for the forces that marched through I granted a rite of petition to Matthias based on his claim that he needed a small force of men in order to rectify the curse upon his lands.
Ezra : *quietly scans crowd watching for anything out of place*
Vindel. Alow.: *stretches*
Runa Rothgar: Runa begins jotting down notes in her journal, using a piece of charcoal coiled with a firm paper strip.
Entori Be'te'wa: *listens folding his hands*
Abigail Constance: *nervously rubs her red cord*
Azorus Crownsilver: As far as Greatgaunt it is my bank that collects and funnels their taxes to the crown. This arrangement regarding them being autonomous is unnecessary. I only extend the proclamation over them because of the dire nature of the threat.
Azorus Crownsilver: As for the dispute between the two Lords Zorastryl...
Ezra : *listens to runas scratching with charcoal on parchment*
Azorus Crownsilver: It's clear to me that neither one of you is fit to rule.
Tanya Steel uses item's special power.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Arches a brow.*
Octavian: *his gaze moves to Mathias and Marister*
Lilith Starling: *draws a scrap of yellow silk from her bodice and quickly covers her mouth*
Marister: *surpised look on his face*
Vindel. Alow.: *chuckles at the words spoken then quites himself*
Abigail Constance: *darts a nervous glance at Matthias*
Mahanae: maintains an unphased look.
Matthias Zorastryl: *tilts his head*
Azorus Crownsilver: Marister- you say yourself you had over a decade you've been working to end this curse; and I have been informed that you have failed time and time again. While I trust that you have good intentions; My reserves have recommended you highly...
Ezra : *watches room*
Runa Rothgar: Runa jots more notes, her demeanor stoic and eyes analytical.
Azorus Crownsilver: I feel you lack the experience necessary to rule. You need to learn and garner proper experience. You could have been doing so in Greatgaunt.
Azorus Crownsilver: As for you, Matthias Zorastryl.
Ezra : *seems to be watching for hands near daggers and such*
Marister: *his weapons would be peace bonded*
Azorus Crownsilver: It has been clear since your unruly deception regarding the number of men you intended to lead through our domains that your intentions are quite devious. Those men of yours- a great portion of them are Sembian recruits, are they not? Do you have any intention on abiding by the Crown-
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *low tone to Uggams* It seems like..... In the end the quarrel might turn out against all odds...
Azorus Crownsilver: If they do not leave the lands to you?
Azorus Crownsilver: I do not think so.
Uggams Mantooth: *He says something low to Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks carefully at Azorus as he mentions Sembian troops crossing Cormyan borders*
Azorus Crownsilver: I am also aware you are said to be immortal. A creature beyond the divine law. You have no place to rule in Cormyr.
Aeron Nathos: *raises eyebrow*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *nods to Azorus*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *frowns.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *raises an eyebrow and glances at Lord Matthias*
Azorus Crownsilver: That's all I have to say.
Salina Pandora: *a small smile curls on her lips as she looks the rugged blond-haired baron up and down*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *low tone* I think we can trust him *looking at Azorus*
Matthias Zorastryl: *scoffs and waits his turn to speak*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Baron Crownsilver...
Marister Zorastryl: *Frowns pointedly at the Baron before looking over his shoulder at those behind him.*
Ving Lyonald: *Rubs at his chin while he regards the two Zorastryls calmly.*
Dimitri Golde : *Stays quiet, hands clasped behind his back.*
Salina Pandora: *pretends to jot down some notes*
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers Marister a confident look and nod.
Entori Be'te'wa: *simply nods to Marister*
Marister Zorastryl: *Shifts his attention forward, his confident stance maintained for now.*
Mahanae: a polite smile to Marister.
Vindel. Alow.: *nods to Lord Zorastryl*
Marister: *returned the smile* *back to stoic look*
Marister: *decudes to stand by ezra
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I recall when you visited Court in Suzail recently and the claims that were made. On matters supernatural I'm inclined to defer to the advice of the College of War Wizards. I suspect less was known than than now and perhaps the matters we discuss today will sway the Court towards these concerns.
Ezra : *maintains crowd watch*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *concerns.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Azorus, is it your true believe that these matters not only threaten to escalate tensions in the Western Reach but also pose a danger to the Kingdom at large?
Ezra : *looks like hes not used to new uniform yet*
Ezra : *slight nod to Marister*
Azorus Crownsilver: Absolutely. My High Mage and my mage guard have investigated the risks and have made a very convincing argument that we are facing dire threats. Made even more dire due to the nature of the star metal. It is unlikely that some supposed Immortal would emerge during such
Azorus Crownsilver: troubling times.
Matthias Zorastryl : *he looks to Giogi*
Entori Be'te'wa: *hm*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): A supposed immortal?
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I understand that the High Mage of Valkur's Roar is a Red Wizard of Thay. Is that correct?
Uggams Mantooth: *He nods at something, to Sir Callen*
Marister: *looked over at Sir Callen's table then back to the lords*
Azorus Crownsilver: Indeed and as the crown the forces me to endure. However, Salazar has been performing exceptionaly well compare to his predecessor.
Ezra : *keeps watching filled hall*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is the High Mage of Valkur's Roar present, Lord Baron?
Azorus Crownsilver: Salazar step forward.
Marister: *briefly nodded to Tanya*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): High Mage. *nods*
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he tips his hat* Warden
Octavian: *looks up and around*
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks*
Octavian: *coughs into his hand*
Marister: *wonders what the whispering is*
Marister: *focuses on the lord*
Ezra : *listens quietly , watching crowd*
Entori Be'te'wa: *over his shoulder*I believe Crownsilver is 'playing the field'*
Entori Be'te'wa: **whispered*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Watches Lord Rothford.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): High Mage?
Frankfurt Rothford: *winks at Yashiera*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Yes Warden?
Yashiera Jassaan: ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Please elaborate about the concerns you raised with the Baron.
Azorus Crownsilver: I called you up here to explain the risks with the metal. Perhaps I should call the stand in for Arician?
Aeron Nathos: *clears throat*
Entori Be'te'wa: *smirks*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Very well
Runa Rothgar: Runa perks an eyebrow. Pencil in hand, wriggling... ready to get .. it.. on .. with the journal.. as the High Wizard speaks.
Vennis Haler: *nods respectfully to the Baron*
Salazar Von Nefzon: This star metal as we call it, arrived with the appearance of a comet that has appeared occasionally. At first, the only thing that was known is that it was next to impossible to work into metal. Doing so, would kill or harm the person who attempted it.
Salina Pandora: *nods to Azorus with a smile*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances back to Ambrose for a moment*
Salazar Von Nefzon: One of the unique and obvious qualities, was that the Star Metal seemed to have its own song. After the initial rush and grab new evidence came about. And it was discovered that Star Metal could in fact be smith-ed into weapons, armor and the like. However the process is dangerous.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back at High Mage Salazar*
Mynian Copperhand: *takes a slow look around*
Salina Pandora: *watches Salazar*
Salazar Von Nefzon: With the aid of my second in command, and a few others we have discovered that Star Metal carries a sinister element. Should enough of this metal be gathered together, we could trigger a cataclysmic event that would certainly change our existence as we know it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards the Baron for a moment*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Seems not impressed whit Salazar and what he says*
Aeron Nathos: *turns his head toward Bryce, then back to Sal*
Mynian Copperhand: *blinks looking down then nods once*
Frimgarold Scheppenfiedlen: *twitch and glare at Matthias*
Mynian Copperhand: *tips her hat in pardon*
Frimgarold Scheppenfiedlen: *twitch and warm smile at Marister*
Lilith Starling: *smiles*
Octavian: *dips his head*
Salazar Von Nefzon: They carry with them Chaos, and we are already seeing evidence that Chaos is taking a firm grip in Cormyr. Urbuchek, the proclamation, the family dispute. All elements we believe can be traced back to the metal itself.
Ezra : *watchs room and people in it*
Aeron Nathos: *touches his scar on his face for a moment*
Mynian Copperhand: *folds her arms, leans back on the wall and crosses her legs at the ankles*
Vennis Haler: *glances over to Mynian*
Azorus Crownsilver: So you can see Lord Giogi there is indeed credible risk. Thank you Salazar.
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he nods and looks to Lord Giogioni*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I have a question, gentlemen
Salina Pandora: Salazar dear, any word on that special little dagger that was stolen off of Shamoke? It seems to play a "key" role in this.
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he shakes his head*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): You said that enough of this metal if gathered together could trigger a cataclysmic event. If that is case, what was the purpose of the proclamation? Doesn't that gather all the metal together in one place?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks between the two*
Marister Zorastryl: *smirks*
Salazar Von Nefzon: That is my current fear yes. You see...
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Giogioni and thinks*
Azorus Crownsilver: I uh.. Well it was advised to me that we must gather it to keep it out of the hands of Urbuchek and out of the hands of Matthias as well as Marister...
Entori Be'te'wa: *eyes Tanya*
Azorus Crownsilver: And.. *he yield to Tanya*
Ezra : *watches and listens quietly*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: ....
Salazar Von Nefzon: If a piece of metal is to be placed upon an altar of the owner's god. A vision will be granted. This vision drives one to gather all of the metal they can. And should they do so, their vision will come to pass.
Mynian Copperhand: *eyebrow arches slightly at that*
Ezra : ....
Abigail Constance: *perks up at that*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Their vision?
Salazar Von Nefzon: Several suffer from this affliction already. Including a certain orc.
Azorus Crownsilver: We gathered it to keep it out of dangerous hands... but Lord High Marshall...
Ezra : *seems worried at that*
Azorus Crownsilver: We are here to discuss a fief dispute.
Salina Pandora: My understanding is that it would open a rift to another plane, such as where the Chaos Hound resides.
Aein Sulus: *Ahems*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Azorus*
Uggams Mantooth: *Lowly* Oh, thank goodness. Here I thought I'd misread the proclamation about the council...
Entori Be'te'wa: *he nods to Tasar*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over at the lady in white at that*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at the Baron and then back at Salazar*
Matthias Zorastryl: No! You corrupt lord. You just want it all for yourself! You have been obsseded with it.
Salazar Von Nefzon: The vision is a ruse I believe. And it is tailored to the inner desires of one's own heart. A truely effective way to garner soldiers to collect the metal.
Aein Sulus: Matthias.
Mahanae: quietly listens, her eyes closed and serenity adorning her facial traits.
Aein Sulus: Please wait your turn my lord
Runa Rothgar: Runa quietly walks up behind Marister to whisper in his ear.
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *Looks to the door*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *crosses his arms and leans back, looking troubled.*
Ezra : *remains alert*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Looks at Sir Callen for a moment*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Are you able to tell me who you believe suffers from this afflriction, High Mage?
Zodika Alho'ohani: *brown eyes looka round the room, eventually settling on Mynian a moment*
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods to Aein and smirks a little*
Aein Sulus: *he smiles back to Matthias*
Kali Jarnna: *Nods to Marister
Octavian: *dips his head lightly looking to Zodika*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *seems mildly distracted by the sudden appearance of Zodika.*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks forward again*
Kali Jarnna: *Stands in the back to observe*
Entori Be'te'wa: *slides up to runa*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Urbuchek. The current warlord of Arabel's orc forces. I can not say other names with confidence.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *she nods politely to Octavian*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks to Runa and Entori*
Salina Pandora: *murmurs quietly*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he turns his attention back to the high mage as he speaks.*
Abigail Constance: *glances at Zodika, seems to shrink in her chair*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I see.
Matthias Zorastryl: *coughs* Azours *cough*
Kali Jarnna: *nods*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Baron Azorus*
Marister: *murmers low tones to kali*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Ezra : *stands strait , back to wall watches crowd more the lords*
Mynian Copperhand: *glances over slightly at Zodika, tips her hat slightly at her*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is there anything else you wish to say, High Mage?
Zodika Alho'ohani: *smiles and nods some then tugs her hood back up*
Aein Sulus: *he simply smirks*
Salazar Von Nefzon: I only wish to express that we end this business swiftly. That we consider the threat of war that looms over us when making that decision. Aside from that, I will yield the floor.
Mynian Copperhand: *looks around at the various folk and the hall*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Threat of War. War with whom is concerning you, Mage Salazar?
Entori Be'te'wa: *slides back to his position*
Abigail Constance: *darts a nervous glance at Zodika*
Salina Pandora: Personally, I believe these lords and others are being manipulated by a force far greater that poses an existential threat to this realm. *said cocktail conversation style as she plays with her rings" ...just a theory
Salazar Von Nefzon: Urbuchek intends to destroy us all. *he starts to move towards his seat*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *motions a slight nod at Wyvernspur*
Matthias Zorastryl: Salazar speak true. The orc is a grave concern. Much more than men.
Matthias Zorastryl: *me*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Lord Matthias*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back to Baron Azorus*
Matthias Zorastryl: *gives Giogi a huge smile*
Aein Sulus: Lord Matthias and his men, the men I am commanding, they represent no threat to Cormyr.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): You issued the proclamation to requisition this star metal to keep it from being accumulated by others who are a threat to the kingdom?
Vindel. Alow.: *looks to Aein*
Entori Be'te'wa: *looks to Aein*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Glances over towards Vindel*
Vindel. Alow.: *rubs his face some*
Abigail Constance: *finds the floor interesting*
Azorus Crownsilver: Yes. That is correct.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Looks to Lord Rothford, then to Matthais, then back. Frowns.*
Ezra : *keeps eye on crowd watch for hands near weapons*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): And in so doing you imposed your will upon the township of Greatgaunt?
Azorus Crownsilver: It is my duty to protect everyone in my charge it was necessary to prevent the interaction of the star metal with the curse. Yes I did. I stand by it. I would do it again.
Entori Be'te'wa: *taps his staff with his nails*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Frowns pointedly at Azorus*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron, who exactly falls under your charge?
Vindel. Alow.: *shakes his head*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods at something whispered.
Ezra : *slight nod to marister*
Azorus Crownsilver: As Lord of Cormyr I am charged with the township and surrounding lands of Valkur's Roar. The threat is greater than my lands and as a Lord of Cormyr I move to protect the whole of it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Would a representative of Greatgaunt step forward?
Marister: *looks top Sir Callen*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He stands, his old bones creaking.* Come along, gentlemen.
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a breath*
Marister: *then back to the lords*
Vindel. Alow.: *pushes up then speaks softly to Mathias*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Greetings, Lord Giogi Wyvernspur. *A weary smile* I am Sir Callen, of Greatgaunt. It has been some time.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at Uggams in silence but whit determination on his eyes*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Well met Sir Callen. It is good to see you once again.
Uggams Mantooth: *He starts to sweat like a pig*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): These two with me acted as Volunteers in Greatgaunt and also have some pertinent information to the case they may wish to share on Greatgaunt's behalf. This is Uggams, and this fellow goes by Dragon.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *bows his head*
Uggams Mantooth: *He also bows his head*
Abigail Constance: *blinks at Dragon*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Uggams, Dragon *nods to each then looks back at Sir Callen*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): The Greatgaunt Council has heard these concerns- and the heart of this dispute has been felt within our township. It's..caused discord m'lord. I only have a few things to say.
Mynian Copperhand: Coor ... *coughs*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): When the Western Reach Accords were dissolved, our council was formed to rule over the fief of Greatgaunt autonomously.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): While we understand the ease of having our taxes passed through Lord Crownsilver to reacht he crown, we feel as a Council that he has overstepped his bounds.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): None of these reasons expressed here today were sent to us before the Proclamation was made.
Ezra : *scowls at Thurian*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): I had to respectfully decline carrying out this edict to the Baron's Reservists, Chief Inquisitor Steel, Magus Arician, and others.
Ezra : *keeps watchs people in the hall*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If the threat is truly so great as it has been made out to be- why were we not informed of the details or included in the deliberation of how to handle this proclamation?
Salina Pandora: *perks an ear*
Ezra : *ingnors him as hes on duty , keeps watching crowd*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *her dark hood faces forward, easily being able to observe the Ilmateri from its direction*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If you thought to reach out to the Crown, then you may pass edicts over your own lands. The Proclamation needn't have included Greatgaunt until you had the proper approval.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Perhaps a member of the Greatgaunt Council could have been brough with you to Court, if they have a stake in these circumstances. The autonomy of the Council must be maintained, even if that means further negotiations.
Kali Jarnna: *Peers around Marister*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He inclines his head appreciatively to Lord Giogi*
Azorus Crownsilver: *he takes a deep breath* Understood. Lord Giogi.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Now the Borders of the Zorastryl fief also cause us alarm.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Their old lands- those these gentlemen seek to reclaim, their border overlaps over half of Greatgaunt.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *head bow to Giogi*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): This fief cannot be claimed without redrawing borders and ensuring our autonomy.
Vindel. Alow.: *nods*
Ezra : *glance to the shadow group along the eastern wall*
Mynian Copperhand: *tilts her head slightly, eyeing the speakers*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Matthias has proven himself a disruptive force in Greatgaunt. His mongering nearly lead to blows in Greatgaunt between these two groups. I fear his rule.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Marister has proven...incompetent in some areas and has a few unsavory edges. However, he has been a common sight and villager of Greatgaunt for over ten years now.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If he would take a seat at the town council, I will take him under my wing and he would make a fine noble. That is the Council's wish.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): He can learn with time- and gain the experience he needs to be an effective ruler of his new fief.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Flicks a glance at Marister.*
Vindel. Alow.: *clears his throat at that*
Ezra : *slight nod to Maristers remark*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Sir Callen. I read over some history during my journey to Valkur's Roar for this moot.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The township of Isinhold was given autonomy by the Crown long ago when both Redmist and Zorastryl claimed the territory as their own. The autonomy of the township was established to prevent this dispute from escalating to bloodshed.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): This ruling still exists today and binds Greatgaunt, Valkur's Roar, and Zorastryl. The autonomy of Greatgaunt will be maintained.
Marister: *smiled
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias, and then looks at Baron Azorus*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *glances at Lilith as she approaches, but quickly returns his gaze and attention to the speaker.*
Lilith Starling: *polite clap*
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): With that said, is there more that the delegation from Greatgaunt wishes to say?
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a breath* I would.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Me too
Entori Be'te'wa: *studies uggams*
Mynian Copperhand: *crosses her ankles the other way, resettles herself against the wall*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances to Uggams with great interest.
Uggams Mantooth: *Thought he sweats like a pig, something is off, as soon as he speaks; he is uncharacteristically clear and audible, as well as confident*
Ezra : *raise's eyebrow at Dragon and Uggams wishing to add something*
Uggams Mantooth: First, there is something that I feel ought to be established. The Baron Crownsilver did say that Matthias Zorastryl sought permission for his landing...A small force. I do not doubt this happened.
Mahanae: smiles softly as she watches Uggams.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He smiles and pats Uggam's shoulder.*
Uggams Mantooth: Yet, it is the common understanding, of which I do not doubt, that the force he brought in numbered in hundreds. Some have said a 'thousand'. This is a force known as an 'army'.
Uggams Mantooth: And this force, it did indeed disrupt the peace in Greatgaunt. What is more, it was wholly unnecessary.
Marister: *nods to teh whisper*
Marister: *smirked at hi's words*
Ezra : *keeps watching crowd*
Uggams Mantooth: *He gestures vaguely towards Mattthias* I once marched at this man's beckoning, into the mansion belonging to the Zorastryl's. He has commanded the loyalty of powerful adventurers, and received the support of the Volunteers.
Uggams Mantooth: With these alone, taking the mansion was already bound to be a simple affair. The reason, then for the -army-, is clear to me.
Uggams Mantooth: It is his wish, that as in ancient times, he may support his claim through force of arms. The underlying threat of the tantrum he can throw, if he should now have his way.
Ezra : ...
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Uggams, taking in his words*
Uggams Mantooth: Cormyr, in its pursuit of fairness and justice, has long since surpassed such barbarity. It should not go unremarked upon, nor tolerated. *Clears throat* That..is my opinion. On that.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *nods at uggams*
Uggams Mantooth: As for Marister Zorastryl, and his eligibility as a ruler...Within the past two months, I have only become aware of his actions.
Lilith Starling: *nods, leaning a bit closer to him, but her eyes remain on Uggams*
Ezra : *slight nod to Uggams as well*
Uggams Mantooth: For over a decade, now, the Zorastryl Manor has been home to an endless supply of undead...A force that would always be a threat to Greatgaunt. As well as its neighbors. My hometown, and Valkur's Roar.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Marister for a moment*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *listens intently as Uggams speaks.*
Octavian: *folds his hands behind his back*
Uggams Mantooth: And for this decade, Marister has been at the forefront of quelling this threat. The undead have never rose into a significant force, for he always used his own coffers to make sure they were dealt with.
Marister: *nodded
Uggams Mantooth: He may not have made -rocks- fall from the sky, to bring a mysterious solution...But because he had done this, we have remained safe from that threat.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at the Baron*
Ezra : *watchs for hands near weapons
Uggams Mantooth: And for that, regardless of his abilities, or lack thereof, as a ruler...
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head to Uggams, standing with bolstered confidence.*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Smiles a bit*
Uggams Mantooth: He does deserve to be rewarded. As Cormyr wouldn't let its heroes fade into obscurity.
Marister: *grinned*
Uggams Mantooth: *He takes a heavy breath, and seems vaguely like he wants to die as he squeezes out the ending* Thank you.
Runa Rothgar: Runa gives Uggams a nod of approval.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *looks at uggams then at lord azorus*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks back to Uggams* No, thank you.
Uggams Mantooth: *Wipes some sweat off of his face*
Entori Be'te'wa: *nods to uggams*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Do you have more to add, Dragon?
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks then smirks again*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *takes the center*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Mynian Copperhand: *corner of her lip turns up*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *rubs her face*
Ezra : *slight on duty smile to Uggams*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Lord Giogi , Baron Azorus , people of Greatgaunt and Valkur´s Roar
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I am dragon , paladin of Bahamut
Matthias Zorastryl: *snickers*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And today , i am going to unveil the secret that everyone is keeping off
Aein Sulus: Well this is already a mess
Aein Sulus: //whisp*
Ezra : ...
Mahanae: her face winces for a moment.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The true nature of the Star metal the Primordial of love who everyone fighted for in the past , Feyrza. And her wicked game to find her suitor
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As she hosts the power of will
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: To whoever wins and completes her game
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He raises a brow somewhat at Trauson.*
Vindel. Alow.: *a blue silver blade at his side hums a pleasant tune*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Eyes Dragon*
Abigail Constance: *finds the floor super interesting*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Primordial of love?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the crown should know
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Feyrza
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: A long time forgotten primordial
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Whit the help of Runa here , we asked Oghma
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And he told us the story of her
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Why did she left
Marister Zorastryl: *He glances over his shoulder at Runa.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: She was a primordial of beauty and love who everyone was after
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Dragon's pink belt*
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers a nod, confirming.
Uggams Mantooth: *He turns towards Runa, holds a shrug and makes a "Get a loadda this" face*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: All the gods and planar beings
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Fighted an endless war to captivate the primordial
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: She , as she did not decided who would be her suitor
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Left the planet on the form of the comet
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Only to come back to finish the long quarrel and to find whoever she is destined to bond whit
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As some individuals have been elected as the players in her wicked game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The dragons who you saw
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Where the arbiters on the game under her instructions
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Wearing the crowns that could communicate whit her directly and hear her voice
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The shards are the key for the potential of willpower of whoever dons it
Gulmog Drogal: *scratches his chin slowly and listens*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And the stronger the will the more Feyrza will give the user
Ezra : *watchs room*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As baron Azorus and I clearly share on simple sight a common goal
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I am tired of all this mistery
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Who is nothing that impending doom for all of us
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Bahamut gave me a vision but is not what i seek of her
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As others might know
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: The power of Feyrza
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: I got contacted by the silver dragon who is an arbiter of her game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And fought the blue dragon who currently helps the orcs
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the chromatics are breaking the rules of her game
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at Baron Azorus*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And are partaking in the game
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: So do I
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As feyrza told the dragon to seek where i was
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: My goal and the baron goal which i presume is simple
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Win the game and ask her to leave
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: If we keep hiding the truth and making each other enemies
Lilith Starling: *turns to face him, meeting his eyes for the first time*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: We no only have to fight the inner enemies but the big spectrum
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Amn
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Sembia
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Zenthel Keep
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Dragons such as Klauth or Balagos
Yashiera Jassaan: *Yawns.*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *rubs her face again*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Even the return of Ixamrunmaughzeraph
Marister: ....
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *winces*
Entori Be'te'wa: ....
Mahanae: sighs.
Mynian Copperhand: *blinks*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Frowns*
Salina Pandora: *deadpan look*
Entori Be'te'wa: *grits his teeth*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *clears his throat*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: So , stop hiding your secrets
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And cooperate
Vindel. Alow.: *yawns loaudly*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Dragon
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Sir
The Voice: *A hush from the table at the name spoken.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Was this star metal used to conjure your vision?
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He gives Giogi that Sir Callen look that can only mean he did not plan this at all.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes sir
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: But the vision
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Is not what i seek for
Matthias Zorastryl: *drums his fingers on the desk*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As the vision showed me to build a Bahamut statue to challenge an impending doom
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Is the person you mentioned, Runa of Oghma present?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: As i do not seek that other than the complete removal of Feyrza and cast her away
Lilith Starling: *turns again to him, offering her hand*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Even if my life its the price of the coin for that
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *points at Runa*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks about* Runa would you join us for a moment?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Oghma does not seek the metal
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *looks down at the hand quickly, gives it a firm shake.*
Octavian: *brushes his thumb across his lips*
Uggams Mantooth: *Offers Runa a sympathetic look*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he grins.*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances to Dragon a moment, pursing her lips before standing up slowly and approaching, "Indeed , M'Lord . I am Runa Rothgar, Priestess of Oghma.. for the record."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Well met Runa.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Did you have a vision as well?
Kali Jarnna: *Watches the one called Runa*
Matthias Zorastryl: *shifts his weight*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Eyes Runa and the courtroom*
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head. "It will be difficult for the people here to believe my words, but I would not consider my encounter a vision, more of a.. divination, M'lord."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): A divination. Would you please elaborate?
Lilith Starling: *bright smile, but her eyes are on Runa*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods and glances about to all gathered, slowly pacing as her eyes settle randomly to the people. "My divination.. over a vision contained questions I asked.. and answers. Most who have visions are only seeing images in their mind, will of their dietes.." She gestures to Dragon..
Runa Rothgar: She continues..
Ezra : *keeps eye on crowd not speakers*
Runa Rothgar: " As Dragon explained his vision, the seem to be a will of their diety.. obscure in text, but precise in meaning.. no chance to really ask questions. I was met with one who guards the Font of Knowledge. I was able to ask questions regarding the Shards of Feyrza, as Dragon explained.."
Runa Rothgar: She continues..
Octavian: *reaches up to pinch the end of the cinnamon stick hanging from his lips. A quarter turn is given then he places his hands to his belt adjusting his feet*
Runa Rothgar: "I wanted to know the metal's history.. and.. as the HIgh mage stated.." She gestures to him. "His words confirm my divination as you can all see. The stories and analytic intertwine. Feyzra desires a suitor for her game.. and to be whole again.. if they are gathered.....
McGuffin : //ooc we will post logs of this for those who are here but had to leave
Entori Be'te'wa: *entori stands listening, beside others till the end of the evening*
Marister: *listen*
Ezra : *watches and listens*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *waits until Runa has finished*
Runa Rothgar: .. in whole, more and more, a 'winner' of sorts, it could bring about a result that is almost world shattering." She pauses a moment, glancing about. "Those visions.. when I asked about them to Oghma's representative.. or avatar.. stated that Dragon's vision could come to pass..
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Runa as she speaks*
Runa Rothgar: .. if he was to collect a very very substantial mode.. as the High Wizard explained earlier. In theory, this Orc Warlord may also have a vision from his diety as well.. many could.. this may sound fear mongering, but I am only stating facts of what I seen.. " She holds out a hand to pause..
Runa Rothgar: "You may all ask.. or wonder.."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Do you believe this primordial of love is real?
Mynian Copperhand: *quirks and eyebrow and looks at Zodika*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Yes
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And i want to confirm it
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: By manifesting an small avatar
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods to Dragon and looks at Runa*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: By the power of will and the shards
Runa Rothgar: " Oghma is the one of Knowledge and many links have come together to prove it.. But one may ask..Why should I be believed. I can only state that when I wondered what Oghma's take in this was. The Binder is true to his word.. he is going to observe.. he desires none of the ..
Uggams Mantooth: *His jaw drops and he stares at Dragon*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he shows a fragment of Feyrza*
Uggams Mantooth: H- ...h-h-hey now!
Runa Rothgar: ..
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Feryza
Alyndra Greencloak: *Narrows her eyes*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Listen to my words
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances left to Octavian a moment*
The Voice: *A glowing silvery blue metal shard is pulled forth, emitting a quiet hum*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: And SPEAK TO US
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over*
Mahanae: sighs as he brings out the metal.
Runa Rothgar: .. He desire none of the metal.. and will only document.. and observe.. I desire to do his will . But it will be difficult and trying."
Uggams Mantooth: *Mutters a bunch of curses as he puts one hand ready to get his weapon*
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *Steps forward.*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he seems to hold determination and willpower to call her forth*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: Will Save, Roll 1d20: 15 + Modifier: 8 = Total: 23

Bao Gur: *looks* Over here!
Salazar Von Nefzon: *he scoops it up carefully and places it away in a magical bag*
Ezra : ....
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *He looks defiant but sure on what he did*
Uggams Mantooth: *Lets out a heavy exhale*
Aein Sulus: Fair enough
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *holds out his hand*
Salazar Von Nefzon: Bind his hands.
Tanya Steel: Let's escort mister Dragon downstairs to rethink his mannerisms.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *chuckles.*
Seamus: *picks up the shard and hands it over*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *clears his throat.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Do your duty.
Seamus: Swordmajor
Tanya Steel: ~binds his hands and mouth~
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *He is paralyzed*
Ezra : aye ....
Purple Dragon Swordmajor: *he nods* Thank you for securing this.
The Voice: *The tension in the air is palpable, council members murmuring to each other at the table, a low din of noise filling the air*
Bao Gur: Oh dear, what a mess.
Uggams Mantooth: *He rubs at his face*
Joseph Dugan: Does 'e need'a be carried?
Seamus: of course
Salina Pandora: And here I thought this meeting was going to be boring.
Tanya Steel: ~nods~ ... a couple of strong backs to help?
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *He does not seem to oppose resistance*
Octavian: *
Ving Lyonald: Certainly.
Mynian Copperhand: *utters low* ... sure, come ta tha Hall fer a council. Stay fer tha world endin shananagains.
Salazar Von Nefzon: Is he bound?
Seamus: *goes back to sitting*
Tanya Steel: Yes.
Salazar Von Nefzon casting unknown spell
Salazar Von Nefzon casts unknown spell
Salazar Von Nefzon: Very well.
Tanya Steel: ~nods to Octavian~
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *He does not seem to fight anyone*
Ezra : *nods*
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *Or anything*
Tanya Steel: This way please, gentlemen... for now.
Ving Lyonald: Show is over, Dragon. Now follow us.
Trauson `Dragon` Dragonheart: *as he simply seems to be quiet and cooperative*
Uggams Mantooth: Not the right time or place...Sorry. *He murmurs, looking to Dragon*
Dimitri Golde : *He rubs at his eyes.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *simply shakes his head at the chaotic response to such a simple metal object*
Octavian: *extends a hand to the right* This way.
Kali Jarnna: *Shakes her head sadly*
Octavian: *his gaze falls on Trauson and the two beside him*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *takes a breath*
The Voice: *Trauson is escorted downstairs- the procession resumes*
Runa Rothgar: Runa scritches her nose and watches calmly as Dragon is escorted away.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances about the room*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Just...show of hands...anyone else have a vision recently?
Azorus Crownsilver: *He folds his hands behind his back and looks away at the stoneworks.*
Marister: Divine madness
Matthias Zorastryl: Marister had a vision of his own personal .... Calamity.
Marister Zorastryl: ....
Marister Zorastryl: *Scowls at Matthias*
Aein Sulus: *nods some*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *clears his throat* Thank you Runa.
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods and returns to her seat.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Sir Callen
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *shakes his head as if to clear it*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Yes, m'lord?
Uggams Mantooth: *He nods to Sir Callen, still seeming shaken*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He offers, his voice even more weary than before.*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): If you think this is a circus, you should see the shows we have in the Greatgaunt Square.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): It is within the Council's authority to take Lord Marister among its membership, but this does not grant Greatgaunt control of Zorastryl Lands should they do so.
Marister: *smirked
Mynian Copperhand: *chuckle snorts*
Uggams Mantooth: *He snorts, despite himself*
Brianna Addams: *chuckles*
Runa Rothgar: Runa can't help but smile at Sir Callen's statement.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He inclines his head.* Understood, m'lord.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Thank you Sir Callen. Master Uggams.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He begins moving back to his seat.*
Uggams Mantooth: *He chuckles nervously and nods, before going back*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister, I yield the floor to you.
Marister Zorastryl: V...very good Lord Giogi.
Uggams Mantooth: *Offers a sympathetic look to Marister*
Mynian Copperhand: *adjusts her hat, resumes leaning on the wall*
Marister Zorastryl: I have many points to address. First...I feel I should remind everyone after that display that Matthias is still very much an abomination to the divine law. He has not ended the curse- he remains immortal.
Matthias Zorastryl: Allow me to interject!
Marister Zorastryl: ...
Matthias Zorastryl: *he turns and motions Abigail forward*
Abigail Constance: *rises sitfly*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *settles her dark hood on the cripple*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks between the Zorastryls*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister has the floor, Lord Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have resolved the curse and I am now mortal.
Abigail Constance: *timidly approaches*
Marister Zorastryl: I would like this interjection noted as I had barely began to speak. *He regards Abigail* I am willing to hear what this one has to say, Lord Giogi. *He offers quietly as he begins reviewing a few pages of notes.*
Ezra : *watchs crowd, and Abby*
Matthias Zorastryl: I was slain in a battle along side of my Magus and my Inquisitor. If not for their actions I would be dead even now.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Very well.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to that*
Matthias Zorastryl: Brianna is that not so?
Uggams Mantooth: *Takes off a glove specifically to bite at a nail*
Brianna Addams: *nods* This is correct. He had fallen and I raised him with a raise scroll
Matthias Zorastryl: Vindel is that not so?
Vindel. Alow.: This is Correct Lord Zorastryl.
Runa Rothgar: Runa raises her hand , asking to approach Marister.
Matthias Zorastryl: Abigale has examined me. I would let her testify to these facts.
Abigail Constance: I... t-tended his w-wounds myself... *meek voice*
Marister Zorastryl: *Tense, he approaches Runa.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Abigail*
Abigail Constance: *pales*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Frowns*
Abigail Constance: I... *eherm, then louder* I did... examine his Lordship Matthias...
Seamus: Gives Marister a reassuring look and thumbs up*
Abigail Constance: First on the day of battle...
Ezra : *remains at post watching people in hall*
Abigail Constance: and then I r-returned the following day..
Brianna Addams: *nods comfortingly*
Tanya Steel: Apologies, my lords.
Abigail Constance: And there I did examine him completely...
Abigail Constance: I am a .. h-healer of some ability.. both divine and mundane...
Matthias Zorastryl: *winks*
Marister Zorastryl: *Speaks quietly*
Abigail Constance: And I have.. a f-few... methods t-that aren't... common.
Aein Sulus: *he watches the scene, facial expression hidden by his helmet*
Abigail Constance: *winces at the wink*
Abigail Constance: I f-found his Lordship's mortal body t-to be... completely normal.
Salina Pandora: You could kill the lord now just to confirm it beyond a reasonable doubt...I'm just saying *looks at her nails*
Abigail Constance: He does appear... to be mortal.. physically.
Marister: *smirked at salina
Ezra : *raises eyebrow*
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you can keep those thoughts to yourself *he nods*
Marister Zorastryl: *He looks toward Abigail*
Abigail Constance: *glances back at Wyvernspyr*
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks to Salina* I will pass on the offer.
Abigail Constance: But...
Abigail Constance: *seems indecisive*
Tasar Greencloak: *he quirks an eyebrow watching Abigail*
Matthias Zorastryl: *watches Abigail and stares at her*
Aein Sulus: *He watches Abigail*
Mahanae: looks over, watching Abigail carefully.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: *He looks to Abigail curiously*
Abigail Constance: *closes her eyes and takes a deep breath*
Abigail Constance: Im not a brave woman.
Abigail Constance: but I am a zealot.
Abigail Constance: That man terrifies me.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *frowns.*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Abigail Constance: And there's some evil in him that I fear for all of our safety if he ever gains power.
Ezra : ...
Matthias Zorastryl: *his blank stare pieces through his helm*
Vindel. Alow.: But he appears normal Yes?
Aein Sulus: Allow me !
Abigail Constance: Physically....
Vindel. Alow.: Then.
Abigail Constance: I don't think the... curse is gone.
Vindel. Alow.: Slander I say.
Abigail Constance: and he knows it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *glances at the High Mage*
Abigail Constance: and he sure didn't want me to mention that.
Abigail Constance: He might have good reasons....
Aein Sulus: *ahems*
Abigail Constance: But... everyone should know and its should be discussed openly.. not in secret like conspirators in the dark.
Matthias Zorastryl: *his stare breaks in to a soft smile as he looks around the room*
Ezra : *watches for movement in crowd*
Salina Pandora: *winks at him*
Marister Zorastryl: *He offers Abigail a reassuring smile.*
Mynian Copperhand: *quirks an eyebrow slightly*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he moves but not closer to her Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: *He echoes Matthias's movements from across the room.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he waits for her to finish before he responds*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias, you do not have the floor.
Abigail Constance: Im sorry my Lord...
Matthias Zorastryl: Do not be. Abigail.
Abigail Constance: I felt terrible evil and I know you know of it... and you scared the wits out of me to be quiet about it.
Matthias Zorastryl: You spoke only the truth.
Marister Zorastryl: *He narrows his eyes at Matthias*
Abigail Constance: *shaking*
Dimitri Golde : *His fingers tap against his hip, frowning.*
Abigail Constance: that's...all ive got to say
Marister Zorastryl: Miss Abigail. Thank you for speaking candidly to us all this evening.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister has the floor.
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head.*
Tanya Steel: ~soft exhale as she rises, deciding to just stay on her feet for the duration of procession~
Lilith Starling: *claps politely*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Tilts her head, looking more directly at Matthias. She chews her lip.*
Matthias Zorastryl: *goes to speak glances to Giogi and moves back to his table*
Abigail Constance: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *turns his attention to Marister*
Vindel. Alow.: *moves to Mathias's side*
Marister Zorastryl: *He takes a deep breath. Sparing a glance at a collection of notes before folding them once down the middle, and again once more.*
Ezra : *nods*
Uggams Mantooth: *Nods to Marister, a reassuring look, briefly*
Marister: *focuses back to the floor*
Vindel. Alow.: *leans in speaking softly*
Marister Zorastryl: *he adjusts some very fine looking gauntlets, his cloak and belt appearing well made and regal; inspiring.*
Marister Zorastryl: If I may begin; m'lord Giogi. Lord Crownsilver. Sir Callen. My supporters here today. Thank you all for appearing.
Mynian Copperhand: *looks around, eyeing the furnishings*
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods to Vindel*
Vindel. Alow.: *dips his head*
Marister Zorastryl: It has been spoken today that Matthias has brought an army into our lands. An army of mercenaries from Sembia and other lands. Men of ill repute, not men of honor like our very own Militias and Purple Dragons. Sellswords.
Vindel. Alow.: *slips back to his seat*
Marister Zorastryl: All of these men may have foreign interests, outside influences within our borders. No matter what they say they'll raise their swords for- they do not fight for Cormyr.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances left towards Abby for a moment*
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias has shown a remarkable amount of 'free time' during his return. He seeks out adventurers and folks alike speaking of 'better times'. His longevity speaking volumes.
Marister Zorastryl: He criticized the current laws and lordships in Greatgaunt whenever he had the chance. As Sir Callen spoke, his voice has been one of discord.
Mahanae: puts a hand on Runa's shoulder, leaning in to speak in her ear.
Marister Zorastryl: He is positioning himself, as Dora Zorastryl attempted so long ago to be the sole immortal ruler of these lands.
Matthias Zorastryl: Mortal now!
Vindel. Alow.: *clears his throat*
Matthias Zorastryl: Key point. *winks*
Marister Zorastryl: He intends to keep on living eternally. His intents are clear so long as he holds the key to the curse and his immortality under wraps.
Marister Zorastryl: Not Mortal at all. He has spoken in confidence to others that his body takes days to reform.
Ezra : ....
Matthias Zorastryl: That was before the curse was lifted. Now it did not.
Marister Zorastryl: He may be raised in that time, who can say? Any witness from the Zorastryl Keep can tell you, Lord Giogi, that he used a Star Metal Shield as a capstone.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *small nods*
Marister Zorastryl: When we caused blood to seep out of the Well - the source of this curse, it ripped blood from anyone living nearby to refuel its power. He has not ended the curse- he has simply paused its recovery.
Marister Zorastryl: I believe I have the floor, Matthias. *sharply*
Runa Rothgar: Runa glances back to Mahanae and nods.
Marister Zorastryl: He has sealed this...artifice with the shield. He could remove it and call upon the foul art of necromancy held as his prisoner any time he wished. A secret? Well, certainly one he may wish kept in case he has to battle the Crown.
Matthias Zorastryl: I see the support of so many has finally given you that spine. Marister.
Kali Jarnna: *Eyes Mathias*
Marister Zorastryl: Are you paying these Sellswords, or are they merely bodies for you to reanimate when they -fall-?
Mahanae: is unphased by Matthias taunts.
Marister Zorastryl: Do they know the truth about you? *He continues*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Smiles*
Matthias Zorastryl: *smirks*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looking between the Zorastryls as Marister speaks*
Vindel. Alow.: No matter the story they all end the same. *spoken just above a hush*
Marister Zorastryl: Without formal recognition as Lord of Zorastryl lands, he has already positioned and proffered this name- this title, of West Isinhold.
Salina Pandora: I love it when the plot thickens
Marister Zorastryl: Isinhold. A name changed to keep the peace- brought back. He has used permissions that he is unable to grant himself, to empower merchants to sell on his lands.
Marister Zorastryl: He has a tent, just outside meant for these merchants. A hasty decision when he is not yet recognized as a Baron.
Matthias Zorastryl: A decision that benefits you as heir.
Marister Zorastryl: *Shakes his head* Not with you as an immortal.
Marister Zorastryl: In continuation-
Marister Zorastryl: The means through which Matthias is assuming control of his lands is through this...' Sussession model
Matthias Zorastryl: Big word Marister. Did that come from the rune on your glove? Or the one on your neck? Or the one on your cloak?
Marister Zorastryl: By which a family can confer nobility upon their offspring. *He narrows his eyes at Matthias* And how about yours? Let me speak freely. You'll get -your- turn.
Vindel. Alow.: *looks to Mathias*
Aein Sulus: *He turns to Matthias*
Marister Zorastryl: *With an air of supreme confidence never quite before seen in Marister, he speaks further*
Ezra : *quietly watches crowd*
Matthias Zorastryl: Oh I certainly will. *he motions him to continue*
Marister Zorastryl: This succession works with the expectation that the noble will one day perish and pass on his titles and lands.
Marister Zorastryl: This was good enough for our very own Ondeth Obarskyr and all of our Cormyrian Royal Lines.
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias 'Zorastryl' is no King.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am glad you brought up the Royal lines Marister. Thank you.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *looks at Matthias*
Marister Zorastryl: He is no less vulnerable to the c...*A pause, staring.*corruptions that this model is meant to prevent.
Marister Zorastryl: It is self-evident that Matthias is unable or unwilling to let natural succession occur. It is illegitimate for him to make claim by this same process.
Marister Zorastryl: I will make a few promises. I am the best for this position because I am the rightful heir.
Marister Zorastryl: I am not an abomination of the Divine Law. Matthias already worked to kill me.
Vindel. Alow.: False. *coughs*
Marister Zorastryl: He sent me to try and remove the curse when he knew good and well that I could not succeed without Star Metal. He sent me anyway.
Lilith Starling: *steps between Brianna and Abigail*
Marister Zorastryl: I believe it was his intention to turn me over to Dora and that by doing that somehow she could become free from the bindings of the curse keeping her there.
Marister Zorastryl: Matthias. Cannot. Be trusted.
Marister Zorastryl: I am not a greedy baron who overstepped his authority in an attempt to seize lands that do not belong to him. *He looks to Crownsilver.*
Tanya Steel: ~levels her gaze at Marister~
Azorus Crownsilver: *smirks*
Abigail Constance: *subtly slips out of the hall with a Purple Dragon Escort
Marister Zorastryl: *He inclines his head to Runa.*
Ezra : *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: My brother and sister in law made a pact with a primordial creature that was meant to ensure them immortality. My brother was to slay me. Instead betrayed Dora and went after the dogs. She betrayed him and stabbed him.
Matthias Zorastryl: This angered the primordial Chaos Hound who cursed the entire house.
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: The curse left them both for ever bond to the house as un-dead.
Matthias Zorastryl: To spite them both further this Chaos hound chose to give the gift to me instead.
Matthias Zorastryl: A gift I do not want.
Matthias Zorastryl: A gif I did not ask for.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Primordials again.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is the gift you speak of? Immortality?
Mynian Copperhand: *nods slowly at something and looks back to the floor*
Matthias Zorastryl: Yes. Lord Giogi.
Matthias Zorastryl: And yes the nature of the metal is the only reason I could not resolve the curse before now.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have tried for 200 years but could not until the metal surfaced. Finally a time when I could.
Matthias Zorastryl: Marister....
Ezra : *watches group standing near Matthias*
Matthias Zorastryl: Ran in there like a wild ... impetuous fool and started blasting the thing with Star metal weapons.
Joseph Dugan: Chaos Houn' ain' exac'ly low-key. Tha's th' one at ate Tyr's han'. Never 'eard of 'im givin' an'b'y an'thin' 'ough.
Matthias Zorastryl: He nearly ripped open the hells in his attempt.
Mahanae: looks back at Tasar.
Aein Sulus: He intended to walk on us to get to the the keep
Mahanae: then ahead.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *points at Joseph* That's what /I/ said...
Uggams Mantooth: *Also, directs a look at Tasar*
Mynian Copperhand: *looks over to her right a moment*
Ezra : *slight nod*
Matthias Zorastryl: I and my men. *motions to those around him* And that army you disparage rescued everyone and saved the realms.
Aein Sulus: We let him go and offered help
Vindel. Alow.: *nods* And no matter what story you hear besides this. Mathias Cleansed the land.
Vindel. Alow.: Something the greedy and foolish could not.
Runa Rothgar: Runa purses her lips in thought and jots down a few more notes.
Marister: *looks over to Salazar after that remark*
Aein Sulus: *he nods* When Marister and his men almost shred the veil, we were stood ready and rushed in the keep to empty the pool from all the cursed blood that it contained and we sealed it with star metal
Mynian Copperhand: *squints for a score of seconds, then grins, looks back to the other speakers*
Aein Sulus: Add some wards and glyph s to protect the seal, and the curse wasn't anymore upon the land
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is this source of the curse? How did it come to be?
Vindel. Alow.: Noted as Marister and his men ran like cowering dogs,.
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes head*
Aein Sulus: Just like My Lord explained, when Dora betrayed Matthias' brother
Matthias Zorastryl: The source of the curse is a pool of blood used in a blood ritual just as Marister said.
Aein Sulus: Indeed, the blood in the pool was the reason for the unstoppable rising undeads
Aein Sulus: Now there is no undead on the land anymore
Vindel. Alow.: And Lord Zorastryl stopped it and cleansed it,.
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods and lets Aein talk*
Aein Sulus: The red mist that was floating around the keep is gone as well
Matthias Zorastryl: We.. *he nods to them* We did that.
Aein Sulus: It is My Lord and us that were able to get rid of the curse, not anyone else
Matthias Zorastryl: I did that with six pieces of star metal. No more no less.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have not sought a single piece after that.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *loud whisper* They finish each other's sandwiches, it is so cute.
Matthias Zorastryl: Just enough to make the world a better place.
Aein Sulus: The only thing Marister could do is make things worse, almost got the surrounding lands killed
Matthias Zorastryl: To prove what I say is the truth!
Aein Sulus: The only thing the men have been up to is patrolling around in fear of orcs
Vindel. Alow.: And by Law Lord Zorastryl is Eldest of his House.
Aein Sulus: That he is.
Matthias Zorastryl: I invite everyone to a celebration at my keep!
Tanya Steel: ~sigh~
Alyndra Greencloak: *Rolls her eyes*
Aein Sulus: It is a undeniable fact.
Salina Pandora: That you got rid of the curse, or contained the curse?
Vindel. Alow.: I do not see undead on the land any longer not taint.
Vindel. Alow.: Do you.
Aein Sulus: The curse is not anymore
Vindel. Alow.: I invite you to look for yourself.
Tanya Steel: ~purses her lips, waiting~
Matthias Zorastryl: I did the only thing possible. I contained it. I spell bound the star metal shield in place. Nothing can remove the shield and restore the curse that I know of. It is in effect ended.
Salina Pandora: *smirks* You think that's all there is to confirming the presence of a curse?
Mahanae: lifts a hand.
Matthias Zorastryl: There is not a power other than primordial gods who can remove it completely.
Aein Sulus: I believe myself capable enough to see through people, to see their intentions, the good and bad, and Matthias' intentions are right and good.
Ving Lyonald: *snorts at that*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Cough*
Marister: *rolls eyes*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Some say the curses is ended, others that this measure is only temporary.
Marister: *looks to Mahane's raised hand*
Uggams Mantooth: *He raises a hand, as well*
Vindel. Alow.: It is resolved Lord. *bows his head*
Matthias Zorastryl: Let them speak.
Aein Sulus: I have sworn to protect the pool, if anyone else has a better option or idea, then make yourself heard
Runa Rothgar: Runa sits back considering the words spoken.
Aein Sulus: I do not know any other way it can be dealt with.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Go ahead * looks at Mahanae*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): What, what! Oh hello there.
Zodika Alho'ohani: *small nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *lets them speak*
Aein Sulus: *He awaits for Maha to speak*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he looks to Mahanae*
Vindel. Alow.: He does.
Mahanae: "Thank you Lord Wyvenspur. My name is Mahanae; Wizardess and Priestess of Corellon Larethian. I only wish to point out the Lord Matthias has been speaking about the curse being ended, it being no more, to then later reiterate and then claim it is -contained-, therefore, I believe-
Aein Sulus: We already have a plan.
Mahanae: ..his entire argument is questionable.
Marister: *smiled sightly*
Uggams Mantooth: *He waits for Mahanae to speak up first*
Aein Sulus: *he nods to Matthais*
Vindel. Alow.: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: *he whispers to his supporters though few they are fierce*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Mahanae*
Mahanae: "I was also closely involved with dealing with this curse; upon my first voyage to this ...mansion of theirs, we had barely touched the font of the problem when this red mist was already pooling of its own devices, without our interference."
Mynian Copperhand: *quietly watches the rest of the goings on then leaves after the last speaker is done*
Matthias Zorastryl: *when Mahane is done he looks for other speakers*
Mahanae: "On the second journey, we were involved in the attempt to examine the origin of the curse then we attempted means to put an end to it; considering that this 'red mist' pooled out, eventually, our group, representing Lord Marister was by no means breaking anything loose as the-
Mahanae: ..lord Matthias and his council has mentioned. But more importantly, he has contradicted his argument, it should be noted"
Mahanae: "That will be all from me"
Vindel. Alow.: But did we not fix your mistakes?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Noted, Mahanae. Thank you.
Matthias Zorastryl: Anyone else?
Aein Sulus: The curse is dealt with, there's is no argument that can deny that fact.
Uggams Mantooth: *He clears his throat* There is an...inextricable tie, between the life of Matthias Zorastryl, and the curse. This is a conflict of interest; as long as he holds the source of the curse under his control, there must always be doubts about his sincerity.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Uggams of the Greatgaunt Delegation
Uggams Mantooth: With that in mind...I propose that regardless of who the land should go to...
Uggams Mantooth: The source of the curse, this blood pool; should be granted to the possession of the War Wizards.
Marister: *grinned
Uggams Mantooth: The curse represents an existential threat to Cormyr; it should never have been a personal crusade.
Uggams Mantooth: They can come to understand its nature beyond doubt; destroy it, if that is possible. I have faith in the Crown to resolve it.
Uggams Mantooth: Ahem...*He bows his head* That's all.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods* Noted Master Uggams.
Matthias Zorastryl: Enough.
Aein Sulus: His Lordship has been working longer than anyone else in this room for a cure to the curse
Marister Zorastryl: *Narrows his eyes and takes a step closer.*
Aein Sulus: And he's been revelant, now he's accepted to come to the meeting, and you still doubt of him
Salina Pandora: But the question, dear, is for whose benefit...
Matthias Zorastryl: You think your so clever. You think you have trapped me with my own words. I never said it the curse is gone. I said resolved. Resolved in the only way possible. For none of you can stop the power of the primordial that start the curse.
Matthias Zorastryl: I have as you said contained it.
Mahanae: shakes her head.
Runa Rothgar: Runa stands up slowly.
Aein Sulus: *he nods firmly*
Kali Jarnna: *nods*
Zodika Alho'ohani: *glances to her right*
Salina Pandora: Oh I am suitably impressed. But a single person should not be entrusted with its containment.
Runa Rothgar: Runa waist to approach, awaiting exchange of words between Marister or Matthias.
Runa Rothgar: *waits
Brianna Addams: Where were you when all this was happening? Not helping I assure you.
Matthias Zorastryl: And your only argument is my longevity... but I pout out that Vangerdahast the crowns own Royal Magician has similar longevity. That alone is not reason enough to remove a lord from his fief. Otherwise go bring me his head. But you fail to understand the very basic point.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *opens his mouth to speak and closes it again*
Marister: *looks as runa stands
Aein Sulus: *he nods once*
Matthias Zorastryl: IF I am immortal... how can you stop me? If my mortallity is tied to the curse and no power on this plane can stop it. How can you stop me?
Matthias Zorastryl: I do not ask for your permission to retake my lands?
Matthias Zorastryl: I already have.
Mahanae: sighs.
Runa Rothgar: Runa leans against the table, hands upon the top.
Vindel. Alow.: Indeed.
Mahanae: frowns at Vindel.
Aein Sulus: *he crosses his arms*
Aein Sulus: Correct.
Salina Pandora: Regardless of who gets to play Lord of the Manor, there still needs to be some oversight on the source of this curse.
Marister: *nods
Matthias Zorastryl: The fact is that I have already retaken my keep. Already resolved the curse. Already taken my lands and I have the ability to enforce it in fact even if not formally recognized
Vindel. Alow.: It is delt with and Under proper protection.
Aein Sulus: Well said, Magus
Matthias Zorastryl: Which considering the orc threats it would be in your best interest to join in alliance with me for our mutual protection. I do not think the Kingdom will stand against this horde if we are divided.
Mahanae: stares at Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am prepared here and now to pledge fealty to the Crown of Cormyr and to lend my entire army and considerable resources to her defense. I will settle for nothing less than title of Baron. But to show i am a reasonable man I will allow Isinhold to retain its autonomy.
Aein Sulus: Very wise of you My Lord
Marister Zorastryl: You overreach, Matthias. Calling for the head of another Lord? Your whole showing here today is based on a few carefully selected words to protect yourself. I don't have all the perfect words, but I listen to the hearts of my people. The heartfelt plea of the Ilmateri who spoke on your behalf.
Matthias Zorastryl: You are calling for mine!
Marister Zorastryl: The words? The darkness seen in you? I'll take twenty good-hearted men over your ill-gotten army.
Ezra : *watches room*
Marister Zorastryl: We've faced Orcs before. We're Cormyr.
Ezra : *sopt*
Marister Zorastryl: We'll face them again. Together.
Tanya Steel: After the floor is cleared and people have spoken their peace... if I may addendum a point of consideration to the floor, my lord? ~looks to Crownsilver~
Marister Zorastryl: You've not even been in Cormyr for the past two hundred ears.
Marister Zorastryl: years*
Marister: *looks to runa and tanya
Aein Sulus: And in a few months he was able to do so much.
Matthias Zorastryl: *goes to counter but yields to the others*
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you should think about giving him the chance, why do you doubt so much of a man
Azorus Crownsilver: *He watches this procession in careful, focused silence before he speaks up.* Lord Giogi. My Chief Inquisitor would offer words.
Vindel. Alow.: Last I recall you use to take up at the Inn in Gaunt no? You never lifted a finger Until Lord Zorastryl arrived.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Yes, Azorus. I will hear the Inquisitor.
Tanya Steel: I will wait until the... lords... have had their fill... with all due respect.
Aein Sulus: When that man in question has already done so much for this country, for Cormyr, let him help again and again, as I've already said, he is a well hearted and only means good for all.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Winks at Scar.*
Marister: I believe the lady wishes to speak
Marister: *motions to Runa
Vindel. Alow.: I belive Lord Zorastryl has the floor,.
Marister Zorastryl: *He shifts his gaze to Tanya.* I am finished. I think we all see the hearts on the table.
Runa Rothgar: "I just don't wish to be rude.. and speak out of turn.."
Tanya Steel: ~motions to Runa~ ... and then, her words.
Matthias Zorastryl: One last thing.
Aein Sulus: So now I ask you, are you jealous of his success
Yashiera Jassaan: *Yawns.*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *grins.*
Tanya Steel: ~looks to Runa and waits~
Matthias Zorastryl: Of course Abigail spoke the truth. I am touched by a horrible evil. But the mistake it to think I some how wanted it. To think somehow I am not the victim also.
Lilith Starling: *giggles*
Matthias Zorastryl: Ultimately the choice is your Giogi.
Matthias Zorastryl: Before I yield the floor.
Aein Sulus: Perhaps you will find some comfort in working with us, we do not need to be separated, we want to be united, a greater threat is facing us
Runa Rothgar: "I would like to reiterate the issue with that basin.. when we made for an investigation to seek information on ridding the curse.." She nods, looking about.
Ezra : *slight nod*
Salina Pandora: What an adorable little entourage they all make standing behind their lord *smirks*
Aein Sulus: My Lord Matthias has risked his very life for everyone in this room
Matthias Zorastryl: Speak now if you have more to add. *to his supporters*
Aein Sulus: The very least to do would be to allow him to do more.
Salina Pandora: *eye roll*
Marister: *looks to Runa*
Runa Rothgar: "The curse itself when being investigated.. did have some ill effects.. Lady Dora was there, speaking to us while we were examining the cursed basin.." She continues..
Aein Sulus: The best he can, and there is much to do
Brianna Addams: *opens her mouth to speak then waits and sighs*
Matthias Zorastryl: Speak loudly Inquisitor.
Runa Rothgar: "She began speaking of the curse.. and it's history. Obviously we couldn't believe her words.. we thought her deceitful.. however.. one thing I noticed.. "
Matthias Zorastryl: We shall be heard.
Tanya Steel: Not while you have the floor, good ser.
Aein Sulus: So let us not quarrel about this, but let us move together. That is all I had to say for now.
Tanya Steel: I will wait.
Vindel. Alow.: I belive he was Referring to Brianna.
Marister: Runa was speaking
Tanya Steel: Ah... right. ~half grins~ ... my mistake.
Brianna Addams: shhh
Runa Rothgar: "While we were examining the basin.. the crack.. " She gestures to Lord Matthias.. "The one Matthias issued upon the basin the first time.. by the Star Metal Dagger.. was there.." She continues.
Ezra : *stays on duty but watches old friends stand with Matthias*
Runa Rothgar: " That crack seemed to have an effect on Lady Dora.. for her face was also shown a distinguishable scar as well.." The priestess glances about. "One that mimicked the crack on the Basin.."
Matthias Zorastryl: Runa! Thank you... I didn't get any cracks in face did it?
Runa Rothgar: "When one of the investigators began firing arrows with Star Metal into the basin, causing it damage and leaking. Lady Dora began to wail..."
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks at his team* Did I?
Aein Sulus: Not at all My Lord
Brianna Addams: *shakes her head* You did not
Aein Sulus: Looking handsome as as well *he smiles*
Runa Rothgar: "No one will join your party.. Lord Matthias.. because you enjoy interrupting.." She continues.
Aein Sulus: always*
Uggams Mantooth: Let her finish, you blowhards! ...Sorry.
Alyndra Greencloak: *Grins to Uggams*
Matthias Zorastryl: *winks to Runa* How can I resist when you make my points for me.
Aein Sulus: *he snickers*
Runa Rothgar: " Anyways.. that Star Metal caused breakage into the basin.. and this brings up an issue with this bandage put on the Basin.. who is to say.. Star Metal can't break it again? " She adds. "Also.. Star Metal caused a ruckus above the keep.. Chromatic Dragons fighting each other.."
Marister: ...
Runa Rothgar: "Could that possibly be Dragons seeking that Metal?" She shrugs. "Who's to say.. but as of now.. The Basin remains a danger.."
Aein Sulus: *Ahems* May I ?
Marister Zorastryl: If there is no sign of the curse or cracks upon you, maybe your immortality was never due to the curse at all. Note that we only have -your- story to go off of. I don't know of any demonic, primordial force that would 'curse' something with eternal life. Perhaps you sought other means like your brot
Matthias Zorastryl: You see. Runa the army is not there to keep -me- safe from you. Its there to keep the curse safe from -you-.
Marister Zorastryl: Like your Brother? *He interjects, setting his hand upon the table.*
Runa Rothgar: "Oh.. now you are going to be polite..? She glances to Aein. "Your politeness is gone in the wind.. to the Trolls.."
Aein Sulus: Exactly, My Lord
Ezra : *slight chuckle*
Matthias Zorastryl: *cold stare at Marister*
Aein Sulus: I do not understand the reason for all this bickering, the only thing Matthias has done so far is help
Brianna Addams: Might I speak, please?
Runa Rothgar: "And Lord Matthias.. knew about this demon portal.. He wanted us to go down there and toy with it.. no knowledge to us. So he could place blame on us.."
Aein Sulus: And you all find a reason to complain. Of course, Inquisitor.
Tanya Steel: ~amused grin~
Aein Sulus: *ahems* Marister and his men insisted to go
Ezra : *see leaders in front and returns to watching crowd like good soldier*
Mahanae: patiently listens, eyes closed; facial traits serene.
Matthias Zorastryl: Brianna. Speak now.
Aein Sulus: We did not have any choice but to let you through.
Ezra : *dose not chuckle or smirk*
Brianna Addams: I would like to bring out three key facts. One, Matthias has come, dealt with the curse as best he could, cleaned up, fixed the area AND took care of a poisoning of the Zorastyl well. This all in a small matter of time. A land that can help keep Cormyr the great land it is
Brianna Addams: My second, Matthias did not send them to their death, We in-fact tried to stop them, but Marister demanded to go first. We waited letting them try to break the curse.
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head. "Irrelevant.."
Brianna Addams: We only entered without harming others to stop a massive reaction.
Brianna Addams: Shhh
Brianna Addams: Please
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Brianna Addams: The point is, you asked for the curse to be lift, take the basin to the war wizards, but Matthias has taken care of the lands as he should
Brianna Addams: The crown wanted the curse done, the lands taken care of and the people protected. All done
Aein Sulus: *he claps*
Brianna Addams: That is all I have to say. *quietly steps back*
Matthias Zorastryl: *waits for her to finish*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *regards Brianna, taking in her words*
Ezra : ...
Runa Rothgar: "It's not done.. bandages on a basin is not done.. it needs to be fixed.."
Salina Pandora: *watches them all with the cold calculated look of someone who's been around the block a few times*
Mahanae: shakes her head.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to Brianna*
Matthias Zorastryl: *motions for Tanya to speak her peace*
Yashiera Jassaan: *Leans against the pillar, crossing her arms over her chest.*
Mahanae: "Discord on the people? That does not seem to by synonymous of protection either"
Marister: *looks to tanya
Mahanae: she quiets.
Azorus Crownsilver: *Looks over his shoulder, his expression a troubled one.* Speak up, Chief.
Matthias Zorastryl: I yield the floor to Crowsilver's Chief.
Tanya Steel: ~inclines her head~ ... I await the floor... when you are ready and seated. ~to Matthias~
Aein Sulus: Shall we, my Lord
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Speak Inquisitor.
Matthias Zorastryl: Do not presume to command me.
Matthias Zorastryl: If you want to be heard now is your chance. Other wise sit down and keep a lid on it.
Runa Rothgar: Runa mutters. "For Lord Matthias to yield the floor.. someone would have to gag him with a dirty sock.."
Azorus Crownsilver: Matthias. You will not speak to my subjects in that manner in my own Great Hall.
Azorus Crownsilver: Hold thy tongue.
Kai'Arias'tama "Among" Alodel: *Stands*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks to Runa*
Marister Zorastryl: Do you have a sock?
Aein Sulus: Runa, your behavior is strongly disobliged
Vindel. Alow.: Does not Lord Mathias have the floor currently?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): He yielded it.
Aein Sulus: Indeed.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Speak now Inquisitor if you are going to.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Grumbles*
Matthias Zorastryl: No . Vindel I yield it to Tanya who has yet to speak.
Uggams Mantooth: *Mutters to Callen*
Ezra : *keeps watch*
Runa Rothgar: Runa just sits down, calmly, amused by Marister's words.
Tanya Steel: Well, first off, I'm in agreement with my liege on one point specifically... I don't think either of you should be entrusted so quickly, by anyone... considering all matters.
Aein Sulus: *he chuckles at something whispered*
Tanya Steel: Long ago... two hundred years was it? The Zoroastryl family -lost- their noble claim to those lands by way of a dark pact. It could be construed by law that neither of you hold any claim at all, until the Crown weighs in and appoints one themselves... whether it's one of you two or not.
Marister: *grinned
Tanya Steel: My personal recommendations for consideration is this...
Uggams Mantooth: *Nods to Callen, a slight, awkward grin*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Oh, a recommendation? Sure, why not?
Matthias Zorastryl: ...
Aein Sulus: *Ahems*
Matthias Zorastryl: *holds finger up then shrugs and drops it*
Tanya Steel: The Crown might claim the land directly... establish an outpost, and assign a Lionar. This is obviously too dangerous to allow one family with a history to oversee it.
Aein Sulus: *he shakes his head*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Dips head to Tanya*
Tanya Steel: That is all... short and simple.
Marister: *smiles at tanya
Tanya Steel: By your leave, my lord. ~nods to Crownsilver~
Matthias Zorastryl: My Lords and Ladies...
Kali Jarnna: Good point
Marister: Very
Matthias Zorastryl: Your Chief wants to strip you of your blood rights just because it's a little murky. Or a little un clear.
Runa Rothgar: Runa speaks quietly with Marister.
Matthias Zorastryl: Would you stand idly by while your lands are stolen.
Tanya Steel: You did...
Tanya Steel: FOr two hundred years.
Aein Sulus: He sought a cure
Marister: *smirked
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *glances sidelong at Abigail.*
Aein Sulus: And he came back with one
Alyndra Greencloak: *Shakes her head*
Abigail Constance: *whispers with Louis*
Tanya Steel: Holding a hand over a bleeding wound is no cure.
Matthias Zorastryl: Giogi... If you quash rightful inheritance and blood rites you throw the entire realm in chaos and civil war.
Matthias Zorastryl: I am sure your wiser than that.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That's enough grand standing Lord Matthias.
Tanya Steel: You lost those rights to the dark pact your family inked.
Matthias Zorastryl: *falls back in line* //ooc did the fallback emote and falls down
Marister: *nodded to tanya
Runa Rothgar: (( *likes how Matthias fell back in line* xD
Aein Sulus: The hand is there and no one else was able to do that before, Tanya.
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi, respectfully? *He speaks up calmly.* May I?
Tanya Steel: I commend you for that... which is why I suggest the Crown directly take interest.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *opens his mouth to speak and closes it again. With a sigh he nods to Lord Marister*
Matthias Zorastryl: //occ cries laughing*
Aein Sulus: If the lands are let to themselves, the risks for the curse to comeback will be much higher
Marister Zorastryl: While I am eager to see my lands restored and disagree with the Chief Inquisitor. I have waited ten years. I am willing to wait another two to let the War Wizards and trusted friends of House Zorastryl ensure the curse is properly dealt with before I take charge.
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods
Marister Zorastryl: I've waited ten. What is two more? I don't think Matthias is so willing to stand down and allow the same. I am...as always. A servant to the Crown.
Aein Sulus: There's a whole army to protect the pool.
Brianna Addams: Sir, if I may?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *exhales and nods* Noted, Lord Marister.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Aye, very well. *gestures*
Brianna Addams: If Matthias and Marister lost their lands, then why did the crown not take care of this curse? Why was it left abandoned
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Brianna Addams: Matthias dealt with the curse when no one else could
Brianna Addams: or did
Mahanae: lifts a hand.
Runa Rothgar: Runa shakes her head.
Aein Sulus: May I add something?
Matthias Zorastryl: I do not recall the Royal Corps of Monster Hunters being sent in.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Surely, join the wagon train son.
Brianna Addams: *smiles slightly*
Vindel. Alow.: *smirks*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Stands and stretches*
Vindel. Alow. uses item's special power.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Aah...Mrh. These old bones. Can -I- say something please?
Joseph Dugan: *raises a hand*
Aein Sulus: The pool must be protected at all cost, My Lord Matthias is the one who was able to 'cure' it. I do not think anyone else is better placed to take care of that matter.
Mahanae: still has her hand slightly lifted to point she has a word.
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *He stretches and rubs at his shoulder*
Alyndra Greencloak: *Rubs her face*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Anyone else? Any visions?
Uggams Mantooth: *He feels empowered to have a snack of his own*
Joseph Dugan: I'd like t' make a comment if they's an opportun'ty.
Ving Lyonald: *laughs*
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Yes. Where's the privy? We've been at this for ages.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Oh
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Baron?
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): *Adjusts his belt*
Brianna Addams: *chuckles*
Marister: *smirked at Callen*
Mahanae: "If I might add a short statement?"
Azorus Crownsilver: What I don't know I don't use it here.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Inquisitor?
Tanya Steel: ~rises~ ... sir Callen, this way.
Azorus Crownsilver: Chief?
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Thank you, darling.
Joseph Dugan: *still has his hand up*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The man in black...please speak clearly
Sir Callen (Greatgaunt Militia): Oh? Books? You still keep those around here?
Mahanae: lowers her hand, having been skipped over two people, it is clear she is ignored.
Tanya Steel: ~opens the barracks~
Marister Zorastryl: *Motions to Mahanae*
Joseph Dugan: M' commen' is simply a reques' t' close th' discussion t' commen's. Seems like they's goin' in circles a' this poin'.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Noted. I'm about to.
Runa Rothgar: Runa nods in agreement to Joseph's words
Uggams Mantooth: *When his snack is finished, he has another snack*
Uggams Mantooth uses item's special power.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods to Mahanae*
Ezra : *watch crowd*
Marister: *looks to maha
Mahanae: "I simply wish to make emphasis on Brianna's earlier statement about the Crown doing nothing about the Curse for these last two hundred years I believe it was? And then refute it; We cannot blame the Crown for this? Shall we blame them for every single problem that has arisen? -
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *nods* Noted. Thank you.
Mahanae: ...for the orcs and undead that plague us for centuries now, left and right? No, of course the Crown is working to aid us, slowly as they are, the Crown has a Kingdom to manage."
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias.
Matthias Zorastryl: A good point. Lass. *to Mahane*
Mahanae: "I was not finished, but as you will"
Matthias Zorastryl: *he lets her finish*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Go ahead and speak your words quickly miss.
Runa Rothgar: "Are you finished now, Mahanae?"
Mahanae: "I am, yes"
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias
Runa Rothgar: She nods in approval to her words
Matthias Zorastryl: Yes?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): What is your true age in full?
Matthias Zorastryl: I am not certain any more. I was about forty winters when the curse fell. That was as I believe 206 years ago. So 246 ish?
Aein Sulus: *nods*
Matthias Zorastryl: Certainly younger that the elves?
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias the Crown does indeed remove a family's privilege of nobility when it deems fit. Treason is the most expedient route.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I've heard you say that you will pledge to the Crown your loyalty if you are granted the title of Baron and given claim to the Zorastryl lands.
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *he frowns.*
Aein Sulus: *he nods and smiles to Brianna*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I remind you that your family has already sworn loyalty to the Crown of Cormyr and rule your lands at the Crown's pleasure.
Yashiera Jassaan: *Drops her hands, bending her knees into a more readied position*
Aein Sulus: *His glance goes all around the room*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): As of now House Zorastryl is recognized as the holders of the rightful claim of your keep and the surrounding lands.
Tanya Steel: ~watching, quite relaxed~
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): This claim excludes Greatgaunt.
Matthias Zorastryl: *nods listening*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): The head of a noble house is usually considered an internal matter for a family to determine. However if House Zorastryl cannot determine this matter without shedding blood the Crown is more than willing to step in and appoint the head of the house or to raise up a new one.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): That said
Aein Sulus: *he smiles*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): There are questions that need answering before such a determination can be made.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Matthias a circle of War Wizards will visit Zorastryl Keep and inspect this cursed pool to gauge the threat it truly represents. They will also look into this planar gate while they're at it.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Lord Marister is not to be denied access to Zorastryl lands should he wish to set foot upon them.
Vindel. Alow.: We are reconstructing the barn next. *mutters*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): All powers in the Western Reach are to avoid acts of violence against each other. Those who draw blood to assert these claims will forfeit their own.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Save your steel for the orc menace.
Brianna Addams: *nods in understanding*
Aein Sulus: *he sighs of relief*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *exhales* The Crown officials will be dispatched to your lands forthwith. If you cannot settle these matters between yourselves without bloodshed the Crown will step in and the findings from these investigations will be determining factors.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): I need a drink.
Tanya Steel: ~quietly rises at the implied conclusion~
Aein Sulus: *he nods*
Marister Zorastryl: *A troubled frown crosses his features and he looks toward Runa and the others.*
You have sent a Party Invitation to Salina Pandora.
Matthias Zorastryl: Lord Giogi I have always and will always serve the Crown of Cormyr. I am here because you summoned me so. I will simply will not be subjugated to Crownsliver or the Isinhold. I have already offered a place for Marister in the mansion It is his stubbornness that prolongs this dispute.
Ezra : *slight nod*
Matthias Zorastryl: We are weak because we are a house divided. *to Marister* So I ask Lord Giogi when you make your decision that you remember a nation divided would be weaker still.
Ezra : *slight nod to marister*
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi. I will comply but I must voice protest. During this entire series of proceedings, we have presented evidence Matthias has made contradictory claims. Shown an utter lack of discipline. Shown disrespect. I believe in the Purple Dragon values that you stand upon.
Matthias Zorastryl: *he waits at Marister speaks before a final comment from each of them.*
Marister Zorastryl: I don't know if you're making this decision trying to protect us from the Orcs? But I truly hope that you're right and these foreign soldiers won't be the ones to be our undoing before the orcs.
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks at Matthias*
Matthias Zorastryl: *looks at Marister*
Marister Zorastryl: *Looks at Giogi*
Matthias Zorastryl: *Looks at Giogi*
Tanya Steel: ~rests her hands clasped in front of her~
Mahanae: looks to Tanya a moment.
Matthias Zorastryl: Lord Giogi. Everyone here. Reason wisely your companions.
Marister Zorastryl: Lord Giogi, everyone here....Reason wisely your companions.
Aein Sulus: *he nods to all*
Marister Zorastryl: *Shakes his head.*
Louis-Henri de Loménie: *nods.*
Marister Zorastryl: *He gestures to his side of the room.*
Marister: *head dip
Ezra : *watchs long time friends leave*
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): Ambrose, see to the investigation.
Runa Rothgar: Runa offers a polite nod to a bow upon the hall before departing.
Dimitri Golde : What a pleasent evening. *He sighs, shaking his head.*
Uggams Mantooth: Sir Callen...he's been in there a while, hasn't he?
Mahanae: dips her head to the court and follows suit.
Ezra : *nod to runa and Mahanae*
Scar Caellen: That was a lot o' talkin'.
Bao Gur: All circles.
Lord Giogioni Wyvernspur (Warden of the Western Marches): *speaks quietly with Baron Azorus*
