Gargish Dragon: to thank the Royal carpenter for furnishing
Gargish Dragon: Iron Will did a great job
Gargish Dragon: So what is this meeting about?
Gargish Dragon: I wanted to have you all here
Gargish Dragon: to discuss about the Militia
Gargish Dragon: As you may now Britannia is under a severe threat
Gargish Dragon: by an organization known as the Followers of Armageddon
Syrel Grenhame: More severe than many know...
Gargish Dragon: And we, the Yew Council must do everything
Gargish Dragon: to stop them from their evildoings
Grimlur: SO, how do we capture them?
Wired: we have to find them first
Caramon: Beat them into submission.
Santiago: But don't kill 'em!
Gargish Dragon: As you may now members of the FoA have been found already
Gargish Dragon: but at least one of them is still on the loose
Gargish Dragon: and their task is to collect blackrock from chests
Gargish Dragon: all over Britannia
Gargish Dragon: One of these chests is right inside the Abbey
Sky: Which one?
Wired: don't they have allies?
Syrel Grenhame: Junin.
Greywolf: what do they need blackrock for?
Warlin: Where is these chests?
AndDroid: The dreaded blackrock.
Sky: evil substance it is
Gildar: Are they trying to create a black gate?
Santiago: A spell to end the world.
Gargish Dragon: and we must prevent them at all costs to open it
Greywolf: aye I remember now.
Keuldan Vraal: hello all
Keuldan Vraal: I cant stay for long
Keuldan Vraal: and i hate to inturrupt
Gargish Dragon: Please tell us what you want to say
Keuldan Vraal: but I am sort of severed from this world for a while
Keuldan Vraal: (my hard drives both crashed)
Keuldan Vraal: hopefully I will be back with you all soon

Keuldan Vraal: errr absence
Gargish Dragon: Tis alright
Keuldan Vraal: i must be off now
Gargish Dragon: but the Militia must continue
Keuldan Vraal: I hope things are well for you all
Sky: The Militia must not be deterred
Keuldan Vraal: iss Cass here?
Gargish Dragon: Farewell and I hope you will feel better soon
Sky: nay
acb ii: mayor was mondain resurrected by staff of elements
Sky: Who leads us now?
Warlin: Ah , hail Thrawn
Thrawn: hello
Thrawn: sorry im late
Vargen: Dorillion, you are one of the Sergeants aren't you?
Dorillion: Yes I am
Sky: Then it is you
Vargen: are there any others here?
Warlin: Major, what was thou saying abouth those chests?
Gargish Dragon: Did you all read about the uniform?
Dorillion: Falkayn
Falkayn: I'm a sergeant too
Sky: Have you picked the last sarg?
Vargen: ah yes
Vargen: did Vraal ever choose a 4th?
Gargish Dragon: We only have 3 Sergeants right now
Sky: I would volunteer
Sky: for night shift
Greywolf: I would too
Vargen: he asked for a non-guilded volunteer
Sky: as I am
Greywolf: I have no guild
Vargen: I sent him word that I would do it
Vargen: if he wanted me
Sky: Thank thee
Vargen: I do not know of his decision though
Vargen: and he has already left. . .
Sky: I just wish peace for all
Gargish Dragon: I am not sure if he will make the decision
Sky: That is ont for now
Sky: That is for Vraal
Warlin: Canst we not carry on with the FOA discussion?
Gargish Dragon: but I suggest volunteers send me and Vraal their application
Thrawn: ah yes, the FOA
Greywolf: I have sent in an application but no answer
Sky: You seem versed on the FoA
Gargish Dragon: For now we should continue discussing the FoA, I think
Sky: Tell me your thoughts Syrel?
Syrel Grenhame: There is much I still must learn, but i'll tell thee what I know.
Thrawn: surely you have heard only Junin remains at learge...
Gargish Dragon: Yesterday I was helping to guard several chests
Syrel Grenhame: The FoA are not in charge.
Thrawn: how many of the chests do we know of?
Falkayn: Who is in charge then Syrel?
Gargish Dragon: It seems there were 9 or 10 chests
Thrawn: there are 12
Perianwyr: I suspect another force as well
Santiago: I heard thar were a dozen.
Warlin: NAy, that is wrong there are 12
Thrawn: Junin told me
Syrel Grenhame: I know not, yet. It could be Minax, it could be Winslow, it could be
Gargish Dragon: Actually?
Syrel Grenhame: Blackthorn even...
Gargish Dragon: Well there are two type of locations
Thrawn: I believe Winslow is innocent
Gargish Dragon: and this requires different strategy
Thrawn: they simply wanted his staff...
Gildar: What about the talk of Mundains ressurection
Gargish Dragon: The ones in towns
Gargish Dragon: and the ones in the wilderness
Syrel Grenhame: Aye, Sky. He has had some... suspicious circumstances.
Sky: Surely even he doesnt tire of this world?
Gargish Dragon: The ones in towns are difficult to guard
Greywolf: how many people guard the one in our town at one time?
Sky: If we surrounded it?
Syrel Grenhame: Perhaps it wasn't his choice.
Thrawn: was anybody at the capture last night?
acb ii: can we open them remove contents
Dorillion: we need a good thief to be in town
Sky: What mean you Syrel?
acb ii: put it somewhere else
Caramon: you have a thief
Thrawn: they are locked well...
Caramon: at this table
Vargen: Khellendros is back
Gargish Dragon: Khellendros.. did you find something?
Khellendros: False alarm.
Khellendros: I'm sorry.
Perianwyr: Got to check those necklaces
Syrel Grenhame: Perhaps an evil sought him out, Sky, and corrupted him.
Gargish Dragon: so currently the outpost near the desert and the library in the hedge maze are
Perianwyr: For those of you who might not already know
Syrel Grenhame: He was present at Humbolt's demise.
Sky: I have heard of things like this
Gargish Dragon: locations where there are locked chests
Perianwyr: the FoA are easily distinguished by their necklaces
Wired: in the desert, then
Sky: They were in a book i read, called Shadowlords
Thrawn: Junin likes to cast incognito
Gargish Dragon: they are wearing a necklace with an orb in the form of a black wisp
Perianwyr: Damn addicted he is
Perianwyr: The wisp is small
Perianwyr: you have to look closely
Gargish Dragon: I havent seen one yet
Perianwyr: can't just tell at a glance.
Gargish Dragon: Does it look like the necklace I am wearing?
Thrawn: I have a feeling Junin will be lying low for a few days
Perianwyr: No, it is a string of gold orbs
Thrawn: with his two friends out of the picture
Syrel Grenhame: Wisps are the supposed power of the Timelord...
Sky: Has anyone spoken with the Seekers?
Perianwyr: Or he might feel increased urgency
Syrel Grenhame: I've sought them out.
Warlin: So is there guards at all the known chests locations?
Perianwyr: as we seem to be onto his game.
Vargen: the Seekers are friends but
Wired: I hear they have lots of blackrock already
Vargen: if the wisps are behind this I'm not sure we can trust them
Gargish Dragon: What chests are left?
Gargish Dragon: There is one in the Abbey, one in Jhelom
Vargen: many of them departed this world at their command
Thrawn: I believe the one in Trinsic is unclaimed
AndDroid: Fare thee well.
AndDroid: And good hunting.
Dalyn Orcsbane: same to yourself
Gargish Dragon: one in the guard outpost and one in the hedge maze
Gargish Dragon: I dont have information about the one in Trinsic
Warlin: What dost the chests in the wilderness look like?
Santiago: I've heard it's to the right of the river in Trinsic.
Thrawn: Azreal fouund it
Thrawn: it is along the southern wall
Vargen: where did these chests come from, anyway?
Thrawn: good quiestion...
Perianwyr: Hadies, hmm... perhaps a contraction for Hell Women?
Sky: Shal we split into fire teams?
Sky: to guard the chests?
Warlin: so.... What aer the plans now?
Gargish Dragon: so does anyone have information on other chests?
Thrawn: I believe I know the location of 8 of the 12
Khellendros: I know the location of 10
Khellendros: and there aren't 12
Khellendros: the number is unknown
Thrawn: yes there are
Thrawn: Junin told me
Dalyn Orcsbane: could he not of lied to ye?
Gargish Dragon: I mean the ones which are not yet empty
Sky: Are you in cahoots with Junin?
Vargen: and you believe him?
Khellendros: Zendella told me she didn't know
Thrawn: but 2 are not readily available
Khellendros: Junin must have known more than him
Thrawn: from what the news says..
Thrawn: 2 must be reached through some strange ritual
Santiago: If ye know where ten are...
Warlin: Are there any chests in Hytloth island?
Santiago: Could ye list 'em?
HallGreywolf: should we be setting up some kind of watch schedule?
Sky: not readily available?
Khellendros: I will name the 10 locations now.
MasterNewt: I believe a chest is in the N part of Hythloth Isle as well
Khellendros: Trinsic.
Khellendros: Valor
Khellendros: Neare desert
Khellendros: Xroads
Khellendros: Abbey
Khellendros: Maze
Khellendros: Jhelom
Khellendros: Magincia (looted)
Khellendros: Skara Brae (looted)
Khellendros: Serpant's Hold (looted)
Khellendros: Nujelm
Khellendros: Nujelm (inaccesible)
Khellendros: thet's it
Thrawn: inaccesible?
Khellendros: the ones I know of that is
Santiago: Two in Nujel'm?
Warlin: wasnt that 11?
Syrel Grenhame: Would someone plot these out on a map as well?
Vargen: do we know if they need to get them all?
Khellendros: 11
Sky: 9
Khellendros: but the nujelm one is innaccessible
Khellendros: at least to me
Thrawn: how is the one in Nujelm inaccessible?
Khellendros: they prolly won't need them all
Thrawn: the more they hav, the better their chance of casting the spelll...
Grimlur: How about the one at the Island of fire?
Vargen: well then, how many DO they need?
Khellendros: the Nujelm one should be in a dungeon that is entered through a trapdoor in the
Khellendros: palace
Warlin: Grimlur found a strange place at Fire island, with a locked chests.....
Warlin: Maybe thats the last chest (number 12) ?
Syrel Grenhame: But no-one really knows what the blackrock is used for. We just assume it's You can not pick that up.
Thrawn: blackrock is neeeded for the spell
Syrel Grenhame: So we know that for certain?
Gargish Dragon: If someone wants to draw the locations on this map...
Vargen: has anyone actually seen this blackrock substance?
Gargish Dragon: Legends say blackrock is a substance
Gildar: What do these chest look like?
Wired: normal locked chests
Thrawn: they are quite plain Gildar
Gargish Dragon: which can create a large explosion
Santiago: Black as midnight,
Santiago: Black as pitch.
Gildar: I found one a while back on Valor Island
acb ii: Cprp Bet Mani
acb ii: Corp
Gargish Dragon: I wonder how much Mariah in Moonglow knows about it
Syrel Grenhame: Vas Corp Bet Mani
Syrel Grenhame: Great Death Small Life
Thrawn: Mariah has vannished...
Khellendros: Mariah is gone
Syrel Grenhame: Oh, I know something which may be of some good news...
Thrawn: perhaps Gthunk will say spmomething soon...
Sky: I saw Julia in Minoc
Syrel Grenhame: There appears to be some disorder in the ranks of the "dark forces".
Sky: That is the way of Chaos
Sky: Where did you hear this?
Greywolf: tis would be a good time to make good order or our milita
Wired: well, what can we do about it all?
Syrel Grenhame: From the diary of CrawWorth, who heard it straight from the FoA's mouths.
Gargish Dragon: So this is the time to discuss how we act
Sky: I have the diary
Perianwyr: Of course, Evil seems to have its act together more than it ever has before
Gargish Dragon: Of course the wilderness chests must be guarded
Sky: And we without our two leaders
Sky: No offense Mayor
Vargen: so do the forces of good; we ARE the forces of good, right?
Syrel Grenhame: The FoA show contempt for the "fool" who commands the spell.
Syrel Grenhame: So I believe that is why they tried it themslves.
Sky: Zog!
Sky: hehe
Sky: Had to say it
Syrel Grenhame: This means the enemy is working less eficiantely.
Thrawn: well, with two being done in in one night..
Thrawn: I'd say we have the upper hand
Thrawn: did the FoA have any guild allies with them?
Syrel Grenhame: I don't believe so.
Gargish Dragon: I think there are no allies right now
Lori: who are the allies of FOA?
Thrawn: then they are in trouble
Sky: Their allies disperse
Perianwyr: I think they could not find sympathy
Sky: like all evil before good
Santiago: The Order of the Ebon Skull, perhaps.
Perianwyr: Although I believe the Mercs
Perianwyr: are just waiting and seeing
Sky: What of EiG?
Thrawn: I believe Fae was working alone dealing with Junin
Syrel Grenhame: That is the problem of using a cell system to organize your forces.
Thrawn: not the whole guild
Caramon: I haven't heard anything from EiG about allying with them.
Gildar: Even they wouldn't want the destruction of our world
Thrawn: I don't think this is the style for RiG
Thrawn: err EiG
Perianwyr: EiG would rather just curse at you
Sky: and well, i might say
Caramon: And besides, EiG has been in a downward spiral since Greybeard resigned.
Perianwyr: and nothing that would endanger their towers full of orc helms, no, no
Gargish Dragon: Alright.. now what about our plans
Perianwyr: Definitely not their style
Sky: Yes, to business
Sky: Who is defacto leader?
Gargish Dragon: There are people on the wilderness locations already
Thrawn: one person trying to get to 10 chests..
Thrawn: better bring some playing cards to guard the chests
Warlin: OK we located the last chest
Thrawn: could get a bit dull
Perianwyr: Ah! that healer just turned into Kehllendros
Warlin: the 12th chest is at Fire Island
Greywolf: I'd think we need to make a list of all Yew Militia members.
Perianwyr: Excellent
Khellendros: afk, brb
Warlin: as i just showed Khellendros
Sky: Is it guarded?
Gargish Dragon: where on Fire Island?
Warlin: NAy, ungaurded
Perianwyr: Guards must be sent then
Warlin: im not familiar with that island
Syrel Grenhame: Where is Fire Island, exactly?
Warlin: But i have a rune
Falkayn: I'm afraid I must a leave. A critical prior appointment. I will be back soon
Warlin: there
Sky: Avatar Isle
Warlin: As do Khellendros now
Gargish Dragon: Is it in some sort of building?
Warlin: Nay
Warlin: It looks like it should be
Warlin: Because there are a table and a bookcase there
Caramon: ahhh
Warlin: As well as 2 locked books
Sky: Most odd
Gargish Dragon: Oh no...
Caramon: I know what you are talking about
Caramon: I have been there before
Wired: strange...
Sky: Did you scribe them
Gargish Dragon: I know this one
Lori: locked books?
Warlin: One is titled "Heart of Darkness"
Caramon: and it has been there quite some time
Gargish Dragon: It was Telwyns house
Warlin: Nay i did not try to scribe them
acb ii: i scribe at 97
Gargish Dragon: and it has been there for ages now
Gargish Dragon: including the chest
Syrel Grenhame: Wait, I missed something... what bookcase is this?
Warlin: So it is not one of the places the FOA are after?
Gargish Dragon: I dont think so
Warlin: There *is* a locked chest there
Perianwyr: (does the lock message show up over your head when you try it?)
Perianwyr: (or over the chest?)
Sky: very astute peri
Warlin: So ye are saying it is a leftover from some old quest?
Gargish Dragon: It is a leftover from a seer house it seems
Perianwyr: Telwyn was a demonslayer
Perianwyr: who often went to Hythloth with his magic staff
Santiago: There is also a chest on Valor Isle...
Perianwyr: and hasn't been seen in a while
Santiago: But I've been told it's a leftover.
Santiago: from some grand quest.
Thrawn: of the chests that have been looted, can you tell they have been looted?
Thrawn: do they appear unlocked now?
Warlin: Ok forget that chest then
Gargish Dragon: the one in Skara Brae is unlocked now
Warlin: Khellendros, that chest i showed you is apperantly an old one
Warlin: Seers house they say
Perianwyr: though my personal suspicion
Khellendros: I just found out
Perianwyr: is that they're locking them after they're done with them
Perianwyr: The Skara Brae chest was left unlocked because of the message within
Perianwyr: REmember, the "Ye are too late"
Warlin: Which was?
Perianwyr: from Martoo
Wired: can no one unlock them?
Caramon: Has anyone attempted to pick the locks? To move the rock elsewhere?
Santiago: The forces o' darkness just don't play fair.
Perianwyr: Never said they didn't
Greywolf: good question
Perianwyr: I have been living by that assumption from the very beginnng
Grimlur: `How about keys to these chests?
Khellendros: even a GM picker can't pick
Grimlur: someone must have some kind of key
Gargish Dragon: As I understand they have keys
Perianwyr: They are as stout as my personal chest
Perianwyr: built as if by royal carpenters
Caramon: If I see Junin. His keys will be in my hands.
Gargish Dragon: At least tats what the not in the Trinsic hideout said
Khellendros: I'll be back soon.
Sky: Well, we can assume Junin will strike this evening
MasterNewt: Why tonight?
Warlin: How come?
acb ii: can we kill him?
Sky: To make it interesting
Santiago: No, acb.
Syrel Grenhame: Newt, I just know...
Vargen: (besides it being friday?)
Greywolf: How do we go about capturing him?
Santiago: It is possible to kill these blokes...
Gargish Dragon: well there was one great idea about the town chests
Santiago: But ye lose all the reward.
Gargish Dragon: put pets around the chest
Perianwyr: You beat him up until he begs mercy
Wired: he can fight like 10, though
Warlin: Have anyone hear battled them?
Caramon: I have
Sky: Or possible trapped chests filled with ore!
Perianwyr: Ha ha
Greywolf: lock the door behind him
Warlin: Are they good mages, and can they heal themselves?
Perianwyr: If I could get him into my tavern kitchen
Perianwyr: he wouldn't be getting out- that door double locks
Caramon: They seem to be good at everything.
acb ii: will he go in gate
Gargish Dragon: I think Junin is a good mage
Santiago: Evil mage, rather.
Syrel Grenhame: Restless for action, Newt?
Gargish Dragon: any ideas ?
MasterNewt: Yes...
Gargish Dragon: I think we should also watch the roads
Vargen: several, but I doubt Lord British will lend us his cannons
Sky: This is Yew, do we have trackers?
Perianwyr: Indeed
Santiago: Aye!
Perianwyr: I can track well
Caramon: I can track
Greywolf: Aye
Vargen: as can I
Wired: aye
MasterNewt: Ah trackers. Very good.
Warlin: So which chest should we look after?
Sky: You must scout around the chest spots i think
Perianwyr: I do
You see: Santiago
Caramon: perhaps we should split into teams
Sky: That is the point, Warlin
Santiago: Perhaps we ought to split up...
Vargen: ok, trackers are covered; is anyone good at detecting hidden things?
Santiago: cover all bases, if'n ye know what I mean?
Perianwyr: Already being done
Gargish Dragon: Sergeants, please stand up
Sky: at least one mage and one archer
Caramon: Aye, Santiago
Sky: per team
Dorillion: I am the nly one here
Vargen: who's your second then?
Dorillion: have noone
Sky: Do you speak in telepathy?
Warlin: (someone posted just now important FOA info on COB -discussion board)
Gargish Dragon: what did he post?
Vargen: Mayor Gargish, given that this is a crisis situation...
Gargish Dragon: Vargen?
Warlin: (a lot, im reading it now)
Vargen: I say you should call the shots
Gargish Dragon: will you lead another team?
Vargen: we don't have time for a democracy
Sky: I second
Sky: that makes it democratic
Syrel Grenhame: I second Vargen's motion.
Syrel Grenhame: Well, third, then.
Greywolf: aye aye
Perianwyr: Don't see why not
Sky: Has anyone marked the map?
Santiago: If we need assistance...
Santiago: (an' we surely will...)
Gargish Dragon: As we know there are only two roads in to Yew
Santiago: Ye mought contact the Lost Order of Akalabeth.
Gargish Dragon: I would think if they wanted to get the Abbey chest
Gargish Dragon: they would have to travel on one of the roads
Warlin: (posts was about chests status on all shards. detailed information)
Wired: what about this shard?
Gargish Dragon: (or recall but that wouldnt be fair)
Vargen: (atlantic?)
Grimlur: I thank thee
Perianwyr: (Junin recalls, all over the place)
Warlin: (this shard: less information than we know!)
Syrel Grenhame: So do we, Perin.
Vargen: (YES!)
Santiago: I've heard Junin was seen last night...
Warlin: (they listed only8 chests)
Santiago: walkin' through the woods in Britain.
Santiago: So he don't always use spells . Warlin: Britain?
Syrel Grenhame: He won't strike there.
Santiago: Aye.
Perianwyr: I am receiving news from the Hedge Maze
Greywolf: that's good
Vargen: not only is he evil, he has poor taste in towns.:)
Warlin: spill it!
Perianwyr: JUNIN ATTACKED TE HEDGE MAZE
Perianwyr: GOT THE CHEST CONTENTS
Lori: let'sgo!
Wired: damn!
Santiago: Ar!
Vargen: Damn!
Perianwyr: 5 MINUTES AGO
Sky: Whos watching the Abbey?
acb ii: open a gate to there
Caramon: Let's move!
MasterNewt: Damn!
Gildar: Fie
Caramon: we cannot sit here idle as they steal the chests
Syrel Grenhame: I knew he would strike this eve...
Gargish Dragon: all right..
Sky: I too
Wired: let's at least guard the Abbey!
Gargish Dragon: yes
acb ii: is he there now?
Dorillion: yeah
Perianwyr: I tell you the Abbey is done for
MasterNewt: I believe Yew is next.
Perianwyr: DAyel Stormcrow surprised Martoo as he was in the room
Vargen: then why are we waiting here?
Perianwyr: I have NO IDEA
Warlin: move to Abbey!
Sky: To Arms!
Perianwyr: All right
Grimlur: Gate me
Vargen: I move we continue this discussion in the abbey
Dorillion: Vas Rel Por
(This was a quite forced ending of the meeting as forces hurried through the gates opened to the Abbey.)
And thus began the long watch guarding the chests of the FoA. Many brave citizens of Yew contributed to trying to catch the last leader of the FoA, Junin. The chest at Empath Abbey was surrounded by beasts and brave men guarding it with their body. Then even Dragons were brought into the room and made covering the chest.
