Sorry about the grief Llexyn

by Ethelon

Back to Common Grounds.

Well, first off, just wanted to say sorry to Llexyn for the "grief", if she had not snubbed
and issued me so fast then leave the realm she would have learned I was going ot return
her items. I've been trying to figure out a way to become unenemied to both Glomdoring and
Magnagora for awhile now. Awhile back, I remember helping in getting Valek's sword back for
him and in return he made some deals with me on behalf of Celest. The same later happened
when I killed Murphy outside Magnagora ( back in the days when he summoned people a room outside
Magnagora and killed them or tackled them into guards) and got alot of his herbs and gold I
believe, I ended up bartering with him and making him agree to stop doing such attacks ( I know
my dumbass did it down the line later, minus the guards part) in exchange for his items. So, I
figured if I can figure out a way to get someone important I can barter with Magnagora on a whole
to get unenemied and at the same time get unenemied to Glomdoring. All in all, it worked..I almost
got thrown out of the Hartstone for it, but was worth the risk I think. Yet again, sorry you just
happened to be the target Llexyn, but all your items are returned now.

From: First Sergeant Jadryga, Trademistress of Gluttony
To : Ethelon, of the Wilde
Subj: Ethelon's recent robbing spree.

Ethelon,

As of late, you have been sneaking into Magnagora in dreamform and
harrassing the citizens. I have been attacked by you, and seen you kill
Revan and others. Your pegasus gave you away, and you ran when we
rallied and retaliated on you and your mount. Most recently, you
possessed Llexyn while she was asleep in the city, and stole her
possessions, then killed her.

While this does not break the rules set by the administrators of the
realms, I find it despicable that you are able to do such a thing while
claiming to be a follower of Terentia, who is said to favor those who
strengthen themselves "through honorable means". Thievery, no matter who

the victim is, is a sly and dishonorable act. I've heard arguments that
such a thing is fine as long as the victims are Tainted, but I believe
that is the very epitome of hypocrisy. One standard for Tainted, and
another for non-Tainted is a blatant double standard, no matter how one
looks at it.

Shame on you, Ethelon.

**********After being yelled at trying to explain what my purpose was*************

Niara tells you, "Bricriu asked me if you would be willing to negotiate with
her about Llexyn's things."


You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Greets."

Bricriu tells you, "Greetings."


Bricriu tells you, "Would you be more comfortable proceeding dealings in your
commune, or, a neutral area?"

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Are you enemied here?"

Bricriu tells you, "No."

You declare that Bricriu, the Poison Tongue will no longer be one of your
enemies.

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Give me a momement."


You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "You may tele to me."

You feel a slight tug within your chest and the air around you sparkles with
motes of bright light.

Among the sparkling motes of light, a translucent figure appears in the air and
then quickly solidifies as Bricriu comes into view.
Bricriu enters your demesne.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially.

Bricriu doffs a platinum crown of thorns cordially.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Greetings."

You say, "Greetings."

Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.

You say, "To be clear, I did not intend to keep her things."

You say, "I am not a thief in that sense."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "That is good to hear."

You say, "I did this because I know she was wealthy and I needed to barter with
Magnagora."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue raises a pale eyebrow slightly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Barter?"

You nod your head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Over what, exactly?"

You say, "I wish to get myself unenemied to both Magnagora and Glomdoring."

You say, "I've tried to in the past, but have failed."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We have no ties with the Glomdoring."

You say, "True."

You say, "But I cannot become unenemied personally."

You say, "Not can any of my current alleis do it."

You say, "We cannot parley with the undead."

You say, "Only those of Magnagora can."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I do not believe we can do that, as Viravain
seems to be in control of it, now."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "She is very possesive over who enters that
forest, and seems to consider us enemies."

You say, "Well, I was hopinh, someone of transcendant influence could go
Parlery on my behalf with BRennan."

You say, "I would even put up the gold for it."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "That could be possible, if Viravain was
distracted."

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

Bricriu creases her brow in a frown.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As for being unenemied to Magnagora, theft is
not the best way to approach it for bartering."

You say, "Well, I tried by being peaceful for eyars."

You say, "Didn't work either."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Generally, you would contact me, and we'd go
through your records."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Then we'd tell you what time is left, if any,
and fine."

You say, "The way of Magnagora has been through using such tactics, as such, I
have used the same in hopes."

You say, "Well."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If you wish for that to be considered, all
you need to do is ask, and give us time to sift through your case."

Bricriu shrugs helplessly.

You say, "It is what I ask, as I asked about 2 years ago of Daevos."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Cases go through myself first, since I keep
the records."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Then I bring them to the council."

Bricriu shrugs helplessly.

You say, "Well."

You say, "I will not lose or spend Llexyn's gold or items."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "For the deal to go through at all, first
thing I have to ask for is her keys."

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Once those are returned, I can go to Daevos
and explain the other terms your request."

You shake your head.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You rquest, pardon."

Bricriu gives a pained sigh.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Apologies, bit tired."

You say, "This is my deal."

You say, "Aye."

You say, "It's ok."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Daevos is one of our key influencers, and
actually able to go for diplomacy."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It is in your best interest to appease him by
returning the keys, as he is one able to parley for you."

You say, "I will return all her items once my request has been fullfilled. For
me to return her items puts all my trust in you and Magnagora....for you to
meet my needs, it costs you nothing if I fail to uphold my end."

You say, "You must see of course the trust issue here."

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

You say, "Or we can do it in small bits."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I have never been described as much for lying
- give us the keys, at least, and I can at least promise your Magnagora case to
be looked at immediatly."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As that will also improve your chances for
Daevos to parley for you, this is obviously a choice with merit."

You say, "Have Daevos get me unenemied to Glomdoring, which will be easy for
him to do. I will give you the 75k for it. Once done, I will return the keys.
After I am unenemied to Magnagora I wil lreturn her gold and other pack items."

Bricriu ponders the situation.

You say, "I was not trying to imply you personally lie."

You say, "I've been on false end of dealing with Magnagora before though."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If daevos agrees to do such, give us at least
one key beforehand, the others after he finishes."

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

keylist
Key #84825 unlocks the door(s) between:
"Magnagora council chambers" and "Stairway leading up to a magnificent
court"

You say, "This will please Daevos I'm sure."

You give a key to Bricriu, the Poison Tongue.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Aye."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I will go speak with the Warlord, then."

Bricriu doffs a platinum crown of thorns cordially.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially.

Bricriu searches the air in front of her, then tugs upon an invisible strand of
force.

You say, "Thank you."

Bricriu turns translucent and then vanishes, leaving behind a cloud of
sparkling motes of light.
Bricriu leaves your demesne.

**********After a short time**************

Bricriu tells you, "Daevos has agreed to use the money you provide to try ang
get you Glomdoring amnesty."

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Thank you."

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Tele for the gold when ready."

Bricriu tells you, "You may flow, or teleport in, whichever you wish or is
possible."

Bricriu tells you, "You can sit one room outside, to make sure nothing fishy
occurs."

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "I have your word I will not be attacked?"

Bricriu tells you, "We have no wish to do so at this time."

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "You outside Brennan?"

Bricriu tells you, "We merely wish to recover the items, as Llexyn is most
upset over this."

Bricriu tells you, "Aye."

You shed Mugwump form and flow as a spirit through the verdant leaves,
embracing the physical once more and arrive at below the forest.
Below the forest.
The forest gleams with an unnatural purity. Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of
Death is here. He wields a exquisitely crafted draconic broadsword in each
hand. Bricriu, the Poison Tongue is here. She wields a bloody looking needle in
her right hand.
You see exits leading east and west.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially.

Bricriu doffs a platinum crown of thorns cordially.

You bow respectfully to Daevos.

You get 75000 gold sovereigns from a leather backpack.

You give 75000 gold sovereigns to Daevos.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Be sure it is enough."

Daevos leaves to the west.

You say, "It is."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "They tend to be greedy."

"Heh heh heh" Bricriu chuckles.

The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.

Daevos arrives from the west.

Daevos gives a pained sigh.

You say, "So far 75k has always been enough."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "They keys, as per agreement?"

The corners of Bricriu's mouth turn up as she grins mischievously.

You give four keys to Bricriu, the Poison Tongue.

Bricriu nods her head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As per your case regarding the city status.
It is currently being looked into, and soon to be discussed, and then announced
to you."

You nod your head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "However, be aware theft IS a crime, and will
reflect on your fine, as well."

You say, "I would rather not pay a fine, otherwise it would be better for me to
just wait out my time and use Llexyn's gold for such."

You say, "I know Magnagora pardons others no matter the crime if it suits
them."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Any community does what suits them."

You nod your head emphatically.

You say, "Aye."

You say, "As I said, I tried the peaceful way before to become unenemied, but
it didn't work out."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I don't recall you requesting a meeting, but
no matter."

You say, "I spoke with Daevos actually."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "In the future, any attempts at something like
this from anyone will be regarded as a wish to become a permanent enemy to the
city."

You say, "Did not know I would have to go through you."

You nod your head emphatically.

You say, "Of course."

Daevos looks about himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say, "My guild is upset aswell with me."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I know."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As per your fine, however."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It would not be looked kindly upon to use the
spoils."

You say, "I would just rather become unenemied and just not have to be against
Magnagora anymore."

Daevos nods his head at Bricriu.

Bricriu nods her head emphatically.

Bricriu yawns suddenly and mightily.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "The council has determined your fine, based
on previous crimes."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Regretfully ignoring the current action for
the sake of the citizen victimized, the total for all previous actions against
the empire is 300k, but the time limit of having to remain an enemy is already
fulfilled."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You have quite the record."

Bricriu creases her brow in a frown.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It filled several pages of my books."

You say, "No offence, but when Amaru, a raider of a great deal of your villages
has been let go of his crimes with but a nod of the head...300k is abit much."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Daevos, do you care to explain that, or shall
I?"

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "We do not appreciate
blackmail."

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say, "It's bartering."

You say, "I'm not blackmailing you sir."

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "I prefer my defination."

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says to you, "When you harm one of
us, you harm us all."

You say, "It was an action I knew would be noticed...unlike two years ago when
I asked about being unenmied through being peaceful, which I fulfilled for
those years."

You say, "I do not raid your vilalges, I have not been part of a raid in what,
atleast five years?"

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says to you, "Maybe if you had
approached me peacefully again, after that period it would have been
considered."

You say, "I've raided Nil but one time, nearly half my eyars ago."

You say, "I've never killed a member of your city without just cause, as far as
I knew atleast."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "No more pissing contests, please. I think it
is fair to assume Llexyn's items, worth quite a bit, have a fair chance of
being used to pay the current fine, correct?"

You say, "I tried to uphold fair stadards with your citizens, esoecially seeing
as how I have 3 or 4 brothers within."

You nod your head at Bricriu.

You say, "Her items would cover 300k, but I'd rather not grief the poor girl
further and do such."

You say, "But I cannot afford 300k personally either."

You say, "I am trying alone to piece together a family for teh Treerippers and
that is costing me everything I have already."

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "Maybe you should have
considered that before you acted."

You say, "Well, I have achieved one goal I would have not been able to without
doing such."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I prefer discussion first, to sending troops
to recover what is lost."

You say, "But I do feel bad for upsetting her to such a level."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I find it a bit more civil."

You say, "I am honest when I say I tried to contact her to make this
arangment."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "She was rather upset and left the realms soon
after."

You say, "I know."

You say, "She issued, cursed my name, and snubbed me aswell, but I still
tried."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "There could be another way...hmmm."

Bricriu looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Daevos jerks slightly as the air fills with sparkling motes of bright light.
You sense Amaru pulling on the strands of aether surrounding Daevos.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You could also pay tribute through essence,
or commodities, perhaps..."

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

Bricriu creases her brow in a frown.

Among the sparkling motes of light, a translucent figure appears in the air and
then quickly solidifies as Amaru, riding a magnificent unicorn, comes into
view.
He is followed by a celestial archangel, a magnificent unicorn, and the
Handmaiden of Shakiniel.

Bricriu mutters and traces a cobalt blue pentagram in the air that remains
hovering before her.

Daevos looks about himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Gwynevere arrives from the east.

High Majestic Commander Amaru La'Saet, Circle of Elohora says, "Something
happening over here?"

Gwynevere leaves to the west.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially to Amaru.

High Majestic Commander Amaru La'Saet, Circle of Elohora says, "Just got a
tipoff."

Daevos raises an eyebrow at Amaru.

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says to Amaru, "Oh?"

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "We are just resolving a
issue."

You say, "Bartering is all."

High Majestic Commander Amaru La'Saet, Circle of Elohora says, "Nevermind, it
was only a newb tipoff."

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "The location is
insignificant."

High Majestic Commander Amaru La'Saet, Circle of Elohora says, "Damn newbs."

Amaru searches the air in front of him, then tugs upon an invisible strand of
force.

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.


Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Aye, perhaps a different location would be
advisable."

Amaru, riding a magnificent unicorn, turns translucent and then vanishes,
leaving behind a cloud of sparkling motes of light.
He is followed by a celestial archangel, a magnificent unicorn, and the
Handmaiden of Shakiniel.

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says to Bricriu, "Handle this."

Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death says, "I need to go fix something."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As you wish, Warlord."

Daevos searches the air in front of him, then tugs upon an invisible strand of
force.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If you would follow me."

You say, "To?"

Daevos turns translucent and then vanishes, leaving behind a cloud of sparkling
motes of light.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "To a neutral territory."

You say, "Go and I will teleport."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I have catacombs."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I thought you might prefer continuing in an
area loyal to your Commune."

You say, "Ok."

Bricriu shuffles some cards with the image of the Catacombs of the Dead out of
her deck.

Bricriu flings a tarot card at the ground, and it vanishes into the earth in a
spark of magic.

A shimmering, translucent image rises up before you, its darkly gleaming
surface displaying the twisting passages of the Catacombs of Death that
criss-cross beneath the Basin of Life.

touch estelbar
You reach out and touch the map before you. Your surroundings melt away as you
swiftly travel through the Catacombs of the Dead.
Ackleberry Highway near Estelbar. (road).
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. You see
exits leading northeast, east, and northwest.

Bricriu arrives from the ether.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As per other methods to cover payment besides
monetary value."

Bricriu looks about herself, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Power, essence is always an excellent choice,
as well as commodities."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I would think on power, a 3-1 value compared
to gold would be fair, considering how much essence is worth."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Thus, if done only by essence, 100k."
2952h, 3978m, 3186e, 10p exkdb-

You say, "One moment."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Or, matched with gold, more or less,
depending."

Bricriu nods her head emphatically.

You say, "On power?"

You say, "Err essence?"

You say, "How am I to offer essence to Magnagora?"

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You would gather essence, basically, and hand
it off to a poweraide, who would message myself and Daevos the amount."

You say, "Sorry."

You suck thoughtfully on your teeth.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It is fine, as I'm going over various other
choices as well."

Bricriu shrugs helplessly.

You say, "The thing is I'd rather not pay a fine/....two years ago when I spoke
with Daevos a fine was mentioned and at that time I was ok iwth it."

Bricriu puts her hands on her hips and goes "Hmmm!"

You say, "I've been ignroed and overlooked and my patience has worn over that
time."

You say, "Ie, why we are now here."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Procedure is everything in a city based on
keeping things orderly."

Bricriu raises her hand to her mouth and titters girlishly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Anyhow."

You say, "Hehe."

You say, "Of course."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If you were to return every last thing, gold
included, the Warlord would agree to unenemy you for only 25k instead, in 5
years time."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "But, if any of the above deals are not taken,
the next time you come to us, we would need to include the recent theft, which
would add at least 5 years time, as well, anyhow, plus even more gold."

You say, "I have a task I'm trying to fulfill."

You say, "Odds are I will be thrown from my guild already."

You say, "Which is a risk I knew."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "And which task is that?"

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue raises a pale eyebrow slightly.

You say, "I have reasons to be unenemoed to Glomdoring and Magnagora."

You say, "One that goes hand in hand with the other."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Perhaps to join with Viravain?"

You say, "To await five years or even the time to gather 300k is not what I was
looking for."

You flash Bricriu a joyous smile.

You say, "You are one of the more astute ones it would seem."

You say, "It would do me good to be unenemied to Magnagora for my purposes."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Magnagora has no ally of Glomdoring, nor real
interaction. Needing to be unenemied from us is not particularly neccessary to
join with Viravain."

You say, "Aswell, I believe Magnagora would benefit from me being unenemied."

You say, "I know."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Viravain has made it quite clear she does not
like us, and the feeling is fairly mutual."

You say, "Aye."

You say, "That is not actually what I was implying."

You say, "But it's along those lines."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I have several ideas over why you need both,
but It would be rather rude to state them without proof."

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say, "It is fine."

Bricriu ponders the situation.

You say, "No matter, it still stands, I'd rather not pay a fine nor wait in
years."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "That is not likely to happen, however. There
is always a consequence for actions taken."

You say, "I can promise that you will not have to fear me, your city that is,
nor worry of me raiding or going against Magnagora after I am unenemied."

You say, "Which is of benefit to you."

You say, "Magnagora that is."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I assumed you meant the city."

Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I am only one, hardly a whole."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue flutters her wings slightly.

You say, "I can be a great thorn, which is what I'd rather not be, so I would
think it would be to both parties benefit to not be enemies."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We can be thorns as well, if we need to be."

You say, "But I'm not so worried about such."

You say, "As you can see, I knew the risk before hand and still went through
with it."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I know several things about the situation,
but, that is another matter."

You say, "Well, I'd like to see Llexyn return."

You say, "I hate pushing people into such grief."

You say, "Even for my own purpose as it is."

You say, "But I will not return her items untill unenemied."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We can always aide her, as we do all
citizens, in regaining what she has lost, or replacing them."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "A promise is not exactly something tangible."

You say, "She lost nothing though."

You say, "Maybe a single percent or two of her experience, but that is all."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "One moment."

You nod your head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "The previous offer of 25k and 5 years still
stands, but it will not go lower. The warlord refuses to have his generosity
abused."

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say, "I feel I've been the kind one."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I'm sure Llexyn would disagree."

You say, "Aye."

You say, "But without my deal I'm sure I will not hear her side either."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Appeasment is a good deal of what politics
are made of. I learned that early on."

You say, "Aye."

You say, "But I'm not being appeased."

Bricriu's eyes sparkle with amusement.

You say, "And I refuse to remain an enemy of Magnagora when I have the items
wanted."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Considering your fine once upon a time was 30
years and half a million, I would have to disagree."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Items are replaceable."

Bricriu shrugs helplessly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "All of our citizens take care of each other."

Bricriu's eyes repeatedly shut as she tries to stay awake.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If you do not return the items, we simply
aide her until she is repaid."

You say, "Then let her replace them, and I will remain an enemy."

You say, "Which is fine."

You say, "Though it's not want I want, I am sure I will find what I need
eventually."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "That is your choice, but the offer was very
generous."

You shake your head.

You say, "Nay."

You say, "It was not."

You say, "Me remanining an enemy only hurts Magnagora."

You say, "Me not being an enemy does not hurt."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It does should you abuse the status of not
being an enemy."

You say, "Infact, it helps seeing as how Llexyn will have her items returned."

You say, "Do you think I wouldrisk all this BRicriu to just become enemied

You say, "Honestly."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "People have attempted such before."

You say, "What harm can I do being unenemied that I could not do as an enemy?"

You say, "I'm smarter than most."

You say, "I could have easily already went in and taken everything from
Llexyn's shop."

You say, "I already saw her shop."

You say, "I decided not to."

You say, "Because that was not my entent."

You say, "But still...anything I would wish to do to harm Magnagora I can do as
easily enemied or not."

You say, "I'd rather just not be an enemy of Magnagora."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Considering you'll remain an enemy anyhow if
you do not, for a much greater cost, I'd see 5 years and only 25k as not asking
a lot."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "The previous 2 you have waitied may be
included in that time."

You say, "Me remaining an enemy is only Magnagora's loss."

You say, "Not mine in any way."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "My only purpose here is merely to barter
based on previous actions."

You nod your head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "A promise is not enough to cover previous
actions."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Nor is a threat."

You say, "It is not a threat."

You say, "It is how things work between enemies."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Not always. But sometimes."

Bricriu opens her eyes and yawns mightily.

Bricriu stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

Bricriu awakens with a start.

away and Bricriu nods knowingly.

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "Sleep for a moment."

Bricriu lets out a faint gurgle in her sleep.

Bricriu awakens with a start.

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "I will not bother you."

Bricriu takes a long drag off her pipe.

Bricriu closes her eyes, curls up into a ball and falls asleep.

Bricriu awakens with a start.

Bricriu clenches her fists and grits her teeth.

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As I said, items can be replaced."

You say, "Really?"

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

You say, "I can repeat my actions."

You say, "Easily."

You say, "And would become a further enemy."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "It is not in our interests to let previous
actions go without some consequence."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I will speak with the Warlord further, to see
what I can or can not haggle on."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "But I fear I do need to sleep."

You say, "My patience wears thin."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Patience is everything."

You say, "I am not a common thug or enemy. I have proven what I can do
Bricriu."

You say, "And I have no problem with repeating my actions to prove my point."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Please don't resort to threats, as they do
not affect me."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I can only work within the bounds that have
been set."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I have no authority to change them."

You say, "If I am to remain an enemy I will make sure I have cause to be."

Bricriu's eyes repeatedly shut as she tries to stay awake.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You would need to speak with Daevos to cover
that. I'm afraid I cannot appease you and Daevos, according to the demands you
both have set."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "Greets."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "You wish for your actions to be let go."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "It seems Bricriu will not
meet my needs and only you have such power to do so."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Daevos is not willing for that to happen
without a consequence."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I'm afraid even I cannot make those two
things mesh."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "It would be best for both
sides to let this go and be on peaceful terms than enemies I would think."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As much as I would like to do so, if only to
finish up this case."

Bricriu's eyes repeatedly shut as she tries to stay awake.

Daevos tells you, "If you wished to resolve your issues with my city
peacefully, you have definately chosen the wrong method."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If you wish, I will suggest lighter
punishment, but I highly doubt I could convince the warlord to let you off,
scot free."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "I can further my methods
Daevos or this can be finished peacefully now."

Daevos tells you, "Threats now."

You say, "Your warlord is not helping the matter."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "Its not a threat."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I can only do as I am allowed within my
bounds."

You say, "It seems Daevos will not deal on my terms."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "As I said, we cannot let such actions go with
no consequence at all."

Your eyes twinkle enchantingly.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "That just doesn't happen, I'm afraid."

Bricriu gives a pained sigh.

You say, "Go back to your city then Bricriu...I will let you go then."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I will continue speaking with the Warlord."

Bricriu doffs a platinum crown of thorns cordially.

Bricriu shuffles some cards with the image of the Catacombs of the Dead out of
her deck.

Bricriu stands up and stretches her arms out wide.

Bricriu shuffles some cards with the image of the Catacombs of the Dead out of

Bricriu flings a tarot card at the ground, and it vanishes into the earth in a

You say, "But I will make sure your city pays."

Bricriu gives a pained sigh.

Bricriu reaches out and touches the map, and melts effortlessly into the image.
Bricriu leaves to the ether.

You shed Mugwump form and flow as a spirit through the verdant leaves,
embracing the physical once more and arrive at the Moonhart Mother Tree.
In the trees above The Moonhart Mother Tree.

************After a few minutes*****************

Daevos tells you, "Ok."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "Hmm?"

Daevos tells you, "I would like to see this resolved as well, but we must have
every last thing that you stole."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "The only thing I do not
have is hte pack, which I was told had 0 months or was artie."

Daevos tells you, "*nod*."

Daevos tells you, "Give them to Bricriu and she will unenemy you."

You tell Warlord Daevos Feyranti, Marshal of Death, "Aye, thank you."

You tell Bricriu, the Poison Tongue, "You may tele to me for the items."

You feel a slight tug within your chest and the air around you sparkles with
motes of bright light.

Among the sparkling motes of light, a translucent figure appears in the air and
then quickly solidifies as Bricriu comes into view.
Bricriu enters your demesne.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "I see he listened to me, then?"

Bricriu tilts her head and listens intently.

You say, "Aye, I think so."

You say, "So I will be unenemied and not enemied again until I do something to
justify it?"

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We do not work in such ways."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We have laws, and follow them."

You say, "That is what I was to understand from DAevos just now."

You say, "So I will not be unenemied then?"

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We won't just enemy you right after the items
are returned."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Only if you break our laws again."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

You say, "Soprry."

You say, "Though you meant the other part."

You say, "Aye."

You say, "Just wanted to make sure."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "We are strict, not unfair."

You give twenty-one glowing powerstones to Bricriu, the Poison Tongue.

You give a magically-preserved letter to Bricriu, the Poison Tongue.

You give 217000 gold sovereigns to Bricriu.

Bricriu puts some gold sovereigns in a black leather and silk backpack.


You say, "That is all of what I took."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "No robes?"

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue raises a pale eyebrow slightly.

You say, "None."

You say, "I made her remove hers, not drop them."

You say, "She still has them."

Bricriu nods her head emphatically.

You say, "Everything I got was only the pack."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "If it's not the case, we'll have to
investigate further."

You nod your head emphatically.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "For the sake of time, please don't be lying."

You say, "It all should be there."

You say, "I am being honest."

'ohh
You say, "Ohh."

You say, "There was an empty letter that was about to decay I dropped around
here."

You say, "It had nothing written on it."

You give 1000 gold sovereigns to Bricriu.

Bricriu puts some gold sovereigns in a black leather and silk backpack.

You say, "Just incase I was a few hundred off."

You cast a suspicious eye about your surroundings.

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Allright."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Once I am back in my home, you shall be
unenemied."

Bricriu doffs a platinum crown of thorns cordially.

You doff an open-faced plume crested helm cordially.

Bricriu searches the air in front of her, then tugs upon an invisible strand of
force.

You say, "Thank you."

Bricriu, the Poison Tongue says, "Do not do this again."

You say, "I will not."

Bricriu turns translucent and then vanishes, leaving behind a cloud of
sparkling motes of light.
Bricriu leaves your demesne.

Bricriu has declared that you are, heretofore, no longer a formal enemy of the
Mighty Empire of Magnagora.

I wouldn't of killed you, and I wouldn't even provoked you. I'd just grab my wife's stuff and be gone from there. I told Bricriu that Llexyn won't return this month or probably next month, but she still wouldn't let me 'negoiate' with you, so I called her dense... then decided to leave.
Ethelon2005-04-09 21:47:23

I'd just poke Llexyn when she returns, or poke Kaervas. Bricriu, is just an idiot, which has been said many times.
Bricriu2005-04-09 21:50:23
And Silvanus is just a censor.gif, already censored to Ninja Shiri-bot.

Silvanus doesn't have the position to work with cityenemies in that case, at all. I was working with Daevos already, and had spoken to Niara on my own.

All I saw Silvanus do was call his own wife stupid, and act like an ungrateful lil censor.gif when I actually got things set up for a deal, anyhow. But that is gratitude from him, for yah.
Silvanus2005-04-09 21:52:40
You have to be stupid to get robbed by possess.

What a lovely person you are in general, Silvanus. How lucky Llexyn is to have you.

//sarcasm
Silvanus2005-04-09 21:56:02
If I was robbed by possess, I'm pretty sure Llexyn would call me stupid. And, Bricriu, I was never asking to be set up the deal, I wanted to be handed the items, because I don't really trust you, your clan is pretty stupid, full of idiot people who can't take things seriously, when it switches between ic/ooc, and Erion still acts like it is his clan when its an IC clan, and acts OOC (Well, I wouldn't really call his pointing/commenting/wanting/talking about rape as OOC).

Just seeing the post here confirms my belief that it's better to never pay blackmail no matter the form it comes in or the price. *Wonders how many people are going to try the same tactics with Magnagora now*

Isn't there some sort of saying that blackmail never ends? As he himself said, it isn't the first time he used such a tactic. Why stop when the victims keep paying?

You seem to enjoy calling everyone stupid, but the person who actually is, which is yourself. I have no reason to slight Llexyn of her items, as we are actually friends. I have no idea what my clan has to do with ANYTHING on this topic, or Erion, either. In fact, I'm the one who called Llexyn to let her know we actually have her things, because she was that upset. So stfukthnxbai.

If the purpose is to get unenemied, it won't help them to do as it will result in Perma Enemy. As for getting off Scott-free, well, don't be so sure about that at all. () smile.gif

That means, Ethelon had to tell Llexyn to drop everything, move one room away, coalasce, then move east, grab it, and teleport away. Most likely, Llexyn was AFK.

Sorry, I don't do butt buddies. As for what other people think of me, you should obviously know I care very little about it by now. Unless you lack the intelligence to realize that after several RL months.

My clan has nothing to do with this, at all. Obviously, people are happy with it, enough that we could even buy it, and they are members. Your opinion on it means squat.

Erion also has nothing to do with this. At all. Who I choose to have as a friend is neither your business, or concern. So bugger off.
