Switch Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Ford blinks. "Hmm... well, I suppose that kind of justifies all this. But you didn't have to be so nasty about it, especially after we did you such a favour. We could have died in that maze!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 "You are from the same dimension as me?". Lisette tries to recall any mention of Uxenitza. "Perhaps those experiments are part of why Jourtres is so brutal now. You are sure Shaura cannot be killed for his crimes?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Siffli seems contrite. "Our links to Jourtres are so far back you can hardly say we are from there. We originated there. If my distant ancestors did what they said, Uxenitza is long since overgrown and forgotten. But there are two things of more importance to consider. If the key to the keeper is meant for you, you should see him. Tell me when you wish to do so. The second is about that piece of armour you went to fetch, Lurel. Why was it so important?"

ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 "In the Castle of Storms, we found an assortment of items.. one from each dimension. We didn't know where the armour piece was from.. nobody knew anything of Avelyssia. But in each case, the absence of the item caused problems for the dimension it came from. Those items have to be replaced. Tell me - can you think of any change in Avelyssia which began when Mara's tomb was disturbed?" Lurel explains. "And as for the Keeper - a dream told me about him. And I've learnt to listen to dreams. So I think we should go and see this Keeper - but perhaps we could eat and rest first?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Siffli agrees. "Yes, yes. If you think there is no urgency I will take you to the sleeping chamber and arrange for food. You eat fruit and nuts if I recall not our usual sustenance." She pauses. "My father is no better - I wish I knew what ails him. It's as if he was affected by magic. As for anything changing... I suppose that key. Ehglette and Cro-Chuff in the same room! That has not happened for some time. Perhaps there is the chance of a rapprochement. It is too early to say. Now would you eat then sleep or sleep then eat?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Ford lets out a sigh of relief at things calming down. "Thanks, Siffli. I sleep easier if I go to bed on a full stomach, personally..." He grins slightly. The grin soon fades, however. "But... are we seriously going to see this 'Keeper' guy? Are you sure he isn't still dangerous? I don't think I'd want to end up fighting an immortal sorceror." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 "I should think they would have him imprisoned far more strongly than they did us, and there was no way we could have gotten out. Besides, they parade him in front of everyone once a year. We should be fine as long as that keyring :tongue2: is nowhere near." Lisette feels her stomach rumble for the first time since the meal in the maze."As for a meal, I agree with Ford." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Siffli assembles your meal by telekinesis. It is a little strange to see the nuts and berries settling on plates in front of you one by one. She also floats over a large open bowl full of water and several goblets. "Does the child need special food?" she asks. In answer to Ford's question she says. "The Keeper is held here by more than a cage. His mind is held by wards in Avelyssia. Were he to try to leave, the pain would drive him insane. But that would not stop fools believing he can be more use free of the immediate prison." She pauses to assemble a scrumptious selection of pine cones for you. "I am afraid you will not enjoy your meeting with Shaura. He delights in telling anyone who will listen exactly how he will deal with us when he is free. It is unpleasant, nauseating to listen to. The other key-holders are willing to speak with you too at any time if you feel it will help." The assembling ends. Most of what is in front of you is comestible although you would probably be better off avoiding the yew berries and laburnum seeds. "Tell me when you would rest."

Abramul Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 "Thank you for preparing this for us, Siffli."Lisette takes a selection of food, picking out the yew berries (I know what they look like, but what's a lebensraum seed?) and checking for anything brightly colored that she doesn't know to be edible. She starts opening a pine cone, and eating the seeds of the gymnosperm. OOC: Fruits and nuts...what is this, California? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Lurel picks out the things he knows to be edible, and eats them. In between bites of food, he asks: "Has anyone ever tried to free this Keeper?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
