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? Meeting at Yew Town Council 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.
