Dialogue 79 March 27, 2002 Jantaro: Hail Herald. TopGun4 sends word that he on the way Herald nods Herald: I will wait Jantaro finds a blank scroll and starts scribing. Herald notes that the Son of Balance is Scribing Herald nods Herald: I will be here but a short time, I come to you at this time to set right a response that was made when last we met. In thinking on the words which were spoken, I have come to see that an error was made in the haste of the moment. The Son of Light, Elmer, spoke 9 answers. He was told that none were correct, when in fact 1 was indeed the right answer. For this inconvenience, I will give a hint not meant until you were further into the Words. Morningdove: hello Herald Herald nods Herald: There is one of the nine that contains but instructions about the others. In itself it is not a required answer. If there are questions before I return to my meditation I will take a few. Perhaps it is too early. Jantaro: It might be that Herald. Herald: Very well, I leave you now to your tasks. I wish you guidance as you walk your chosen paths. Herald mumbles 'Halome sadar!' under his breath. A teleportation aura envelops Herald. top Dialogue 84 April 5, 2002 Morningdove raises hand Herald: Morningdove? Morningdove: I have something for you. Herald: What is it Daughter? Morningdove: this is the oil you needed Herald: Daughter Have you passed it to me already? Thank you, my life will have far much less stress with this oil. Morningdove: you're welcome. Herald: The Young One can take her bath without complaints this day. And to my dismay, she will wash away the smell of battle and replace with the cloying scent of a flowery garden. Are there any amongst you that will scribe these words? Flamewolf: I am Herald Herald notes that Flamewolf is scribing TopGun4: Herald, is Finvarra is here??? AirosJK: Herald a question, please? Herald: AirosJK, your question? Finvarra does not yet walk these Lands. AirosJK: I have heard rumors that the invasion will be to the west. Are we to travel to the west to meet this threat?? Herald: Airos, the precise place where the Mists will be breached is not yet known. I see the Hero of Spielburg attends this day Herald smiles Yorick: Aye, speaker of the Balance. THEGOD2: Is the God Finvarra walking the lands today? Herald: THEGOD2 Finvarra is still at his forge, this land he does yet walk. I must correct a wrong. When I last visited these words were given. Four Answers, Basics of basket weaving, white thread, a found token, Plaza Eaterie , 14. I replied that 5 were correct, when in fact there were 6. There were several answers given in quick succession. Kalin: May I offer an Answer? Herald: Kalin? Kalin: the four, carved flute, ? , tent, token, 14 Herald: Kalin, ? is not an acceptable answer. THEGOD2: four Answers, Basics of basket weaving, found token(tent), a found token(oasis), Plaza Eaterie , 14 Herald: THEGOD there a 6 correct there Trancekuja: Four Answers, Parchment of Drune, found token(tent), a found token(oasis), Plaza Eaterie , 14 Herald: 6 are correct Trance Stella: May I give an answer? The 4, Berals, white thread, tent (token), oasis (token) 21 Herald: Stella there are 7 correct THEGOD2: The 4, Berals, white thread, tent (token), oasis (token)14 Herald: You have now ventured even close to the solution. THEGOD2 you have 7 correct. I will accept several more attempts before I must return to my Master. Kalin: The four, carved flute, metals , tent, token, 14 Trancekuja: The 4, Berals,Ancient Rune from Drune, tent (token), oasis (token)14 Herald: slower please, wait. Kalin you have 6 correct, Trance you have 6. Stella: The 4, Berals, tool kit, tent (token), oasis (token), 4 Herald: Stella you have 6 correct. Are there any others? Herald thinks 2Bit needs some #2 KatLongfellow thinks maybe 2Bit had a little too much #2 already 8 2Bit is afraid to ask what #2 is... Kalin: The 4, white thread, tent, token , 24 Herald: Kalin you have only 8 answers THEGOD2: The 4, strynx, white thread, tent (token), oasis (token) 21 Herald: 7 THEGOD2. I will take one more attempt. Trancekuja: the 4, Berals, white thread, pumpkin, oasis (token)14 Herald: Trance just 6. May you all walk in the protection of the Lord of the Scepter. top Dialogue 85 April 6, 2002 all present greeted Herald Herald: Good Morning to All. I was going to scour the Land for some Hand Lotion, But since you are here I will visit instead. Herald nods TopGun4: Hail Herald Herald nods Flamewolf: Did zuzu give you a more peaceful eve after getting the mimosa oil? Herald: Bah, she smells like a garden. TopGun4: Herald, Ansuz was here for a long time, alas we didn't find her. Herald: She comes too soon I think. TopGun4: Aye, she should visit the Temples first Herald? Herald: The Young Seer is preparing to make her visits even now. It will grant me some peace for a change. She is most demanding, now it is Hand Lotion. Morningdove: What kind of hand lotion Herald Herald: Who is to know, she wants it for the calluses on her hands THEGOD2: A guess if I can herald? Herald: Very well a guess but first I must qualify something. When you gave the ninth answer, please specify the item and not just the number. It will eliminate simply guessing at all numbers. Proceed then. THEGOD2: The 4, 2 carved flutes, white thread, tent (token), oasis (token)6 walls Herald: 7 are correct THEGOD2 THEGOD2: One more if I may Herald: Proceed THEGOD2: The 4, 2 carved flutes, white thread, tent (token), oasis (token)10 walls Herald: You still have but 7 Morningdove: The 4, authorization x2, white thread, tent(token), oasis(token), 19 walls Herald: Still 7 Darceia: The smell of battle may be desired by some, but as a girl looking for a potential suitor, the smell would be unattractive. Herald: My hands get warm in anticipation of that which comes. Even the Bishop remembers the old days and the Heat of battle , ask him some time. 2Bit: Is that a slander against the forces of light? Herald: Well he preaches peace now, but there was a time... TopGun4: We should hear the story sometime maybe Herald? Herald: He can tell it better than I. But be not deceived by his words and actions of late. Darc0: the 4, Scroll of Astilrades, white thread, tent token, oasis token, 12 healing shops Herald: 7 Darc0. We will see if my Lord allows me to fight by your side. Oh that it is so. Darc0: the 4, Lemon Balm and Pewter Polish, white thread, tent token, oasis token, 3 healing shops Herald: just 7 Darc0 and I suspect that part of them were just wild guesses. I tire this day. You have taxed my mind and I must go take it out on some practice dummies. Walk in Balance or in Dark or in the Light. At this point I cannot say Herald smiles top Dialogue 87 April 10, 2002 all present greeted Herald Herald: Are more coming? Nie: aye Herald: For I have words to speak. Have any of you solved the ninth question? Nie: may I Herald? Herald: You may Nie: 864 hit points of all the gatekeepers Herald: Not correct Firepower2000: May I have some guesses... I have many Herald: One at a time Firepower2000: 39 windows on chapels Herald: Sorry no tobac leaf Firepower2000: 6 TP doors Herald smiles. Herald: The path down this road of three sets of 9 riddles has been long and tricky. The god that you follow will be pleased that you have prevailed over the challenge. You have demonstrated knowledge, cooperation, cleverness, and sheer tenacity in the pursuit of the answers needed. I am proud of each and every one of you for partaking in this quest and showing the results possible when many work as one. That which was promised will arrive now that you have succeeded. I could tell you the form that it will take but it seems more fitting that you be surprised, and surprised you shall be. However, think not that you have seen the end of the Words of Mystery. I leave with but two words this eve: It begins. top Dialogue 90 April 15, 2002 all present greeted Herald Herald nods to all present KatLongfellow: Herald is ZuZu okay? Herald: I am not pleased this night. Let all know that if any harm comes to the Young One, My Lord demands that his vengeance will be swift and final. And I most assuredly will be the instrument of that vengeance. I take no questions this eve. Let my words be known to all. top Dialogue 92 April 17, 2002 all were told to go to F7 BishopAlexander: We three Herald: Speak as One Virulent: As were you told: BishopAlexander: Thou shall respect all other mortals, always; regardless of the god they follow, if any. Thou shall respect all temples, at all times, regardless of provocation. Thou shall respect all prophets, regardless of their path, for truly it is they who guide you to the legends you yourselves create. Herald: Without these things, there will be nothing. Understand that clearly. Without these things, there will be nothing. And so it has come to pass. All have not shown the respect you were asked to demonstrate. Virulent: So, for now, until further notice there will be nothing. BishopAlexander: As you were told. Herald: We shall eventually return to you. Virulent: When we do, BishopAlexander: it is with our sincerest hope that we, Herald: each and every one of us, Virulent: can proceed in a manner that clearly demonstrates respect for all, BishopAlexander: at all times. Herald: Until then, Virulent: we wish you the very best. top Dialogue 94 June 14, 2002 Jantero: Hail Good Sire. Herald nods Herald: There are but a few in the Temple at this hour. Jantero: Many of us are still sleeping Sire. But your visits are not less appreciated for that. Herald: I see. Well it is not often that I visit at this time. It feels good to back amongst you. Jantero: And its good to have you back with us. We have missed all of you. Herald: I appear before you today, a contented old warrior. The Young One has returned for a time and the Temple is once again vibrant with life. The demands have begun once again and they are welcomed by all. She demanded that I spar with her so that I could see how much she had improved. And, indeed she has. TopGun4: Hail Herald nods Herald: I think I will soon have to call her the Young Knight rather than simply the Young One. Her skills are even better than I had imagined, but for now, I will keep that fact from her. If I were to say more, she would become even more unbearably arrogant and living with her would be more trying than it sometimes is now. Her youth, strength, and enthusiasm will one day make her skills match or surpass mine. The Gods help us all if that occurs. Nie: Hail Herald Herald nods Herald: While I think upon it, Will one amongst you PLEASE obtain some Golden Lip Gloss for her. She will not relent. But, silently I thank the powers she is back even if only for a while. Have any here solved the test Words of Mystery? Magra: Yes but I don't have the item with me Herald: Daughter what item do you believe to be the correct one? Nie: Aye I have what you look for Herald I think Herald: Tell me your findings. Nie: It is the Rat Deterrent Magra: Pest Deterrent? Herald: Ah ha I see that your wit has not dulled with our long absence. Nie: Would you like the said Item? Herald: On the morrow, I will give you the first set of the real test. For the test answer the item is not necessary. I will leave you now. The Young One has requested another practice spar, and I for some reason find it hard to deny her. Sons and Daughters, walk the path of Balance or walk hand in hand with them. top Dialogue 99 June 22, 2002 Herald was not visible to us, he was hiding. Everyone present cast see invisible. Herald: I am always with you, remember, always. I speak to from a different plane. Sons and Daughters I am pleased so see so many standing watch over this place of the Scepter. YiraDR: Hail Herald Jantero: Greetings Sir Nie: Hello Sir Herald: I will not ask about the words tonight. Nie: We have been trying to see the witch but she is none to be found Herald: Well perhaps 1 set only. Who will speak? YiraDR raises her hand Nie: our Scribe has one Herald: Daughter?

Herald: She now operates within her own schedule. The only exception is when she has tests. GeoWiz: Have you had pizza today Herald: I am growing to care for this strange dish, but how can I not, the cook is forced to make it all day. Walk in Balance or by their side. May the Lord of the Scepter guide you. |
