Delryn is Deceived
Meanwhile, at the Guild...

You sigh
You say, "oh my.. Delryn"
You say, "I have to go.. something is wrong"
You say to Mhar, "great, we'll talk. It will help me to focus my thoughts  before preparing the speech"
You wave
Mhar nods

You gasp in astonishment!
You say, "Delryn"
You frown deeply
Delryn looks up
Delryn says, "hmm ?"
You say to Delryn, "Delryn?"
Delryn says, "yeah ?"
Delryn looks at you.
Minraed looks Delryn over and studies him carefully
You frown sadly
Delryn peers quizzically at you
You say to Delryn, "just as I though. I could not reach out to
      you, I feared the worst."
You sigh deeply
Delryn scratches his head
Delryn says, "there's nothing to fear here.."
You say to Delryn, "and you're a stubborn one.. you won't listen
      to me will you?"
You tap your foot
Delryn says to Minraed, "yer a weird one eih ?"
You raise your eyebrow.
You say to Delryn, "you're lucky I'm worried about you or I'd
       swat you"
Minraed scrunches up her nose at Delryn
Delryn hmms
Delryn says to Minraed, "i think i'd swat you back then"
You say to Delryn, "do you feel um.. yourself? Don't you feel a
       bit like something is missing, or you're forgetting   
       something?"
Delryn says to Minraed, "but tell me why didn't i listen to you ?"
Delryn says to Minraed, "oh yeah...had that feeling all day"
You say to Delryn, "you never listen to me, too stubborn for
        your own good. I want  you to come with me so I can talk to
        you. Perhaps I can help with that feeling, with things you
         need to remember"
Delryn tilts his head
Delryn looks at you.
You twirl around
You say to Delryn, "ok, look"
You remove silver diadem.
Delryn says, "well you don't look too dangerous...think it's okay"
You say, "to diadem see, exactly. How dangerous could I be"
You smirk in amusement
You cough
Delryn chuckles slightly
Delryn says, "you always talk to your diadem ?"
You say to Delryn, "you're getting me all confused, I'm worred
        about you"
You say to Delryn, "dont' get cheeky"
Delryn says to Minraed, "no need to be worried...i'm doing
         great"
You say to Delryn, "well you look fine at any rate"
Minraed reaches out and touches Delryn cautiously
You say to Delryn, "I am Minraed"
Delryn smiles politely
Delryn says, "tha's good to know"
You say to Delryn, "care to sit on the dock perhaps"
You say to Delryn, "yes, it is good to know"
You say to Delryn, "remember it"
Delryn smiles slightly
Delryn says to Minraed, "i'll try...now what do you know what i
        should  remember ?"
You say to Delryn, "so what do you think? are you going to
         come and walk with me"
Delryn says, "sure i'll walk with ya"


Dock #4 - Sable Shipyards

Delryn enters.
You smile
You say, "ahh, better"
You sit down.
You remove leather gloves.
Delryn sits down too facing you.
You sigh deeply
Minraed looks into your eyes for some sign of recognition
You say, "what's happened to you lately?"
Delryn narrows his eyes a bit
You say, "well something caused this"
Delryn says, "they've been whispering i've been eaten by a
        wolverine"
You gasp in astonishment!
You say, "ouch.. Delryn"
Jesatu enters.
Delryn says, "yeah.."
Jesatu says to Delryn, "You're a hard person to find, sometimes
         bud..."
You say, "we used to travel and adventure together. I think it
        best if I avoid travelling with you by the sounds of it"
Jesatu nods at you
You say, "Hi Jesatu"
Delryn says to Jesatu, "if you say so.."
You say to Delryn, "have you any recollection of Jes?"
Jesatu says to Minraed, "Thanks for the prompt reply over the
            link..."
Delryn says, "nope, who's she ?"
Jesatu grumbles
Jesatu says, "SHE?"
Jesatu blinks
Delryn looks at Jesatu.
Delryn nods
Jesatu bonks Delryn on the head.
Delryn acks!
Jesatu says, "I'm a HE, thanks"
You say to Delryn, "he he"
Delryn pokes Jesatu in the tummy
Delryn says, "yer Jes ?"
Jesatu nods
Delryn says, "Jes is a girls name..."
You say to Jesatu, "I was overwhelmed with concern, but you
         didn't need me to find him anyway"
Delryn wrinkles his nose
Jesatu says, "No it's not"
You raise your eyebrow.
You say, "so is Del"
You smirk in amusement
Delryn blinks
You say, "like delilah, delaena"
A faint glow appears in the east.
You chuckle
Delryn smiles slightly
You tease Delryn unmercifully.
Delryn shakes his head disbelief
Jesatu points to himself
Jesatu says, "I would be most certainly male"
Delryn glances at Jesatu.
Delryn says, "true enough"
Jesatu says, "hrm..  so you don't remember me?  let's see if i
         can remind you.."
Jesatu wields shimmering poniard.
Delryn says, "though yer still an elf...most elves are a bit girlish"
Jesatu says, "Damn, you're still rude, even after death..."
Delryn says, "glad that didn't change much then"
Delryn leans against the sign
Jesatu says to Minraed, "I have to go, i know he's in good
          hands - contact me when you're done."
Delryn nods at Jesatu
Jesatu ruffles Delryn's hair playfully.
Delryn says, "Jesatu sounds better allready"
Jesatu says to Delryn, "Be safe.."
Delryn says, "i'll try"

You say to Delryn, "Im Minraed Arzhel, called Minkx sometimes by friends.  Jesatu here introduced us some years ago and you pissed me off so I didn't like you much then. Well, you're charm won me over in the end I suppose. Even if you are insolent and stubborn at times. We've spent much time travelling and adventuring together, and we've become very close. Close enough that I cannot bear to think of sleeping again with this link between us severed"

Jesatu leaves east.
Delryn smiles a bit painfully
Delryn says, "but.."
You say, "but?"
You raise your eyebrow.
Delryn says, "...i've been told....yer one of the more darker
        people...i  only have friends that are unlike you"
You raise your eyebrow.
Delryn is a contemptable being of vile evil.
He follows the neutral ethos.
You say, "who told you this?"
You say, "you've always leaned to the dark, why would you not
          have fiends as friends?"
Delryn says, "a friend...he explained alot to me...he came to the
          temple and  helped me get back on my feet"
You say, "really? and he told you that I was too much a fiend to
          be  considered a friend?"
You tap your foot
Minraed appears extremely annoyed
Delryn says, "..well no..he never mentioned your name"
You hmm
You say, "so someone is trying to adjust your mind when you
            are vulnerable.  Telling you that you should avoid those
             who are darker?"
Delryn says, "he said it was because of my on going process to
              lean more to  the light...because of my"
You raise your eyebrow.
You say, "to do what?"
You say, "don't let them get to you when you are weakened. Who said this?"
Delryn says, "love for nature...and efforts to prerserve nature
             and the faith of Silvanus"
You say, "you have never been interested in Silvanus?"
You say, "what are you talking about"
You say, "what of Lovitar?"
Delryn nods
Delryn says, "her too...both Loviatar and Silvanus"
You say, "you are a catfolk Delryn, in case you have not
             noticed"
You say, "what the hell would you be considering Silvanus for."
You bonk Delryn on the head.
You say, "think straight here"
Delryn looks up
Delryn says sharply "don't bonk me on my head then, i'm trying
             here..".
You say, "well you needed it. speaking of Silvanus that way. You should seek  out your catfolk friends. Perhaps Talithia."
You sigh deeply
Delryn says, "now who on Sable is Talithia"
Delryn says, "another friend of mine i suppose ?"
Delryn sighs staring out at sea
You say, "yes, and a very good person to know."
Delryn says, "i like this place....it's nice and quiet"
You say, "she will be concerned about you. I will tell her of your
            situation  if I see her"
You say, "and I will inform her that someone has been trying to
           brainwash  you apparently."
You say, "Silvanus indeed"
You sniff
You scowl
Delryn tilts his head
Delryn says, "why would anyone wanna do that then ?"
You say, "you tell me, I can't imagine who in their right mind
            would be  telling a proud catfolk that he was interested
             in Silvanus. That's just ludicrous."
Delryn hmms
Delryn says, "glad i only pretended to tithe to him then"
You say, "if you go prounouncing that faith you'll have some
           explaining to do"
You sigh
Delryn says, "i wasn't going to do that...i think"
You say, "you have been asked to join a guild I believe, or have
           at least been shown interest. Erebus is it? I am terrrible
            with remembering  this. My catfolk friend Bael was with
            the one catfolk guild that disbanded and I get the two
             mixed up"
You say, "but talk to Talithia"
You nod seriously
You say, "I am still curious who this person is who was trying to
           draw you to the light when you were vulnerable. Did this
            occur in the temple of  Vivoria?"
Delryn nods
Delryn says, "he chased away the wolverine that came after me
         into the  temple"
You gasp in astonishment!
You say, "it came into the temple?"
You say, "gods alive"
Delryn nods
You caress Delryn's cheek gently
You say, "thankfully you're ok after all of that"
You sigh
Delryn says, "it chuckled at me then tried to attack me again"
Minraed covers her mouth and gasps again in disbelief
You say, "you really must have pissed it off"
You grin
Delryn smiles slightly
Delryn says, "i don't remember that much of it...only the things
        after"
You nod
You stroke Delryn gently.
You say, "I'm still worried about you now"
Minraed stares at you sadly
You say, "please tell me you were not convinced to seek the
        light?"
Delryn says, "very confusing this all......he said you'd say
         something like  that"
Minraed bares her teeth slightly and grrs
You say, "Who was it!"
You say, "I will not stand for this"
Minraed stands up and stomps about the dock
You pace back and forth, back and forth, back and forth....
Delryn looks at you.
Delryn hmms thoughtfully
Minraed peers down at you and continues pacing
You say, "I won't let this happen"
You say, "I dare anyone to take you from me, it will NOT
          happen"
Minraed stands firmly with her hands on her hips
Delryn frowns slightly
Delryn says, "i don't have any saying in this ?"
You say, "not until your mind is clear again"
You smile softly and kneels beside you
You caress Delryn's cheek gently
Delryn stares into your eyes
You sigh sadly
You say, "unless of course you want to be taken from me"
Delryn says, "how do i know you're not trying to do the same.."
You frown
You say, "you don't know, you have to trust your instincts."
Minraed kisses you on the cheek tenderly
Delryn nods agreeingly and looks away
You say, "I can talk all I want I suppose, it will do no good until
          your mind clears and you see"
Minraed sighs deeply and slumps to the dock
Delryn nods
You say, "what else can I say?"
You shrug
Delryn says, "i want to hear both sides...i'll talk to him again.."
Minraed rubs her temples and grimaces slightly
Delryn wraps his hands around his legs and rests his head on
         his knees
You say, "this is a nightmare"
Delryn says, "wish it was.."
Minraed sits and turns to face you again. She holds her hand
          out to you hopefully.
Delryn looks at you.
Delryn takes your hand
Minraed sqeezes your hand slightly and stares deeply into your
          eyes.
You whisper to Delryn, "try hard to remember Delryn. Please. I
          don't want to lose you."
Delryn closes his eyes and frowns slightly
Minraed's eyes well up slightly with tears. Quickly she turns
            away from you.
Delryn says, "really wish i could Minkx, really do"
Jesatu enters.
Delryn rubs his temples
Minraed rubs her eyes slightly and tries to smile
Jesatu eeks!
You sigh
Jesatu leaves east.
[MAGE] Minraed: hey Jesatu, come back
Delryn sighs
From the east, someone yells: I get scared when you do that
            rubbing head  thing - you always do that before a
             fight!#
Delryn says, "i do ?"
[MAGE] Jesatu: You sure it's safe?  he's not gonna blast me or
            anything?
Delryn yells: it's okay...not going to fight today
Jesatu enters.
Jesatu blinks
You say to Delryn, "was it him?"
Minraed points at Jesatu
Jesatu says, "Was what who?"
Jesatu says, "me?  was what me?"
Delryn says, "no, i only me this fella just now"
Delryn says, "Jesatu eih ?"
Jesatu blinks
Delryn nods slowly
You say to Jesatu, "did you see Delryn when he was in the
            temple of  Vivoria.. oh,nevermind then"
Jesatu says, "Nope, last time i saw him was at the theatre,
            must've been over a week ago"
You say to Jesatu, "I thought I was going to have to kill you, but
           it's ok. Come sit. Perhaps you can help get his might
           straight"
Delryn scratches his head
Minraed stands again
You pace back and forth, back and forth, back and forth....
Delryn says, "theatre....doesn't sound familiar either"
You grin
You say, "yes yes!"
You say, "the theatre. You were going to participate in a play."
You say, "you were going to show me backstage"
Jesatu looks at Jesatu.
Minraed smiles hopefully
The clouds vanish and the sky is completely clear.
Delryn says, "the one with the little door where you can sneak
          on stage  through ?"
Jesatu nods
You shrug
Jesatu says, "That's the one"
You say, "I don't know, I've not been there"
You smile weakly
Jesatu says to Delryn, "Okay, let me show you a trick I showed
           you a  while  back...  perhaps you'll remember it."
Delryn looks at Jesatu.
Jesatu says to Delryn, "I was trying to prove that just because
          you can see  something, doesn't meant it's there"
Jesatu says to Delryn, "But you thought I meant just because
           you CAN'T see  it doesn't mean it's not there..  Well, it
           confused you a fair bit..."
Minraed sits a bit away and watches on with a distraught look in
            her eyes
Jesatu says to Delryn, "The point was, you thought it was
            interesting, so..."
Delryn hmms
Jesatu makes strange somatic gestures as if weaving thin air!
Delryn arches an eyebrow
Delryn says, "ya gonna weave thin air ?"
Jesatu bonks Delryn on the head.
Jesatu says, "Okay, you see these boots?  or this badge?  or
             the Poniard I wield??"
Delryn looks at Jesatu.
Delryn nods slowly
Jesatu says, "You know they're there, because you can see
             them."
Delryn says, "told Minraed too....Don't! bonk me on me head"
You scowl
You say, "you needed it"
You say, "talking such nonsense, getting me upset like this"
You pout
Jesatu says, "Well, what if you can't see them?"
Delryn looks at Jesatu.
Jesatu says, "does that mean they're not there?"
Delryn hmms
Jesatu says, "What if you can feel them?"
You say to Jesatu, "I'd be impressed if I were not so upset just
             now"
Jesatu prods Delryn with the now invisible poniard
Delryn walks around Jesatu
You sigh sadly
Jesatu says, "You know it's there, even though you can't see
              it..."
Delryn rubs his ribs
Jesatu says, "It's the same with everything"
Jesatu sprinkles a pinch of salt about the area.
Jesatu says, "Does your belief dissapear because you can't
            see it?"
Delryn gets the idea in his thick skull and gives an 'AH' of
             comprehension
Jesatu looks at Jesatu.
Delryn says, "the salt.."
Minraed turns away and dangles her feet over the dock at the
             side
Jesatu grins
Jesatu says, "The point of the trick was to prove that everything
            is not as  it seems.."
Jesatu says, "well, that and I can cast realy cool spell"
Jesatu grins mischievously
Delryn says, "no....the question is what if someone tells you
            one belief...and someone else another.."
Minraed glances over with an icy look
Jesatu says to Delryn, "..then use salt to discover the truth!"
Delryn looks at you.
Jesatu exclaims, "HEEEEEE!"
You say to Jesatu, "someone is feeding him lies"
Jesatu says, "who?"
Delryn hmms
Jesatu says, "lies about what?"
You say to Delryn, "or perhaps I have been wrong about you all
            along"
Delryn sits down next to Minraed
Minraed turns back again and stares into the water
Delryn says to Minraed, "you think you've been wrong all this
            time ?"
Delryn says to Jesatu, "another friend of mine helped me get
             back on my feet  when he came to the temple"
You say, "I'd like to think not, but as Jesatu says. Sometimes
            everything is  not as it seems"
Delryn says to Jesatu, "he explained to me my process of
            turning more toward  the light...and more paying
             hommage to Silvanus"
You say, "I wonder about him being a friend"
Jesatu says to Delryn, "Who was it?  what was their name?"
You say, "you've never spoken of such things before"
Jesatu says, "never to me either"
Delryn says, "perhaps not to either of you....he told me that'd
              be the case  since you both...."
You say to Jesatu, "he will not speak the name"
You say, "since we both what?"
Jesatu has a malevolent soul.
He follows the neutral ethos.
Delryn says, "have different beliefs the he does"
You say, "oh? and what about you?"
Jesatu says to Delryn, "I told you a long time ago I always
          wanted to follow Silvanus, and was thinking about joining
           his church..."
You nod
Jesatu leaves west.
You say, "I was going to say, Jesatu is not like me"
Jesatu enters.
Jesatu says, "hehe, sorry, just playing with my fun cantrips"
Delryn says, "he didn't mention your names...just general other
          friends i might have"
Jesatu looks at Delryn.
Jesatu says to Delryn, "You were joining a clan..  Was it
           Eberus?  i can't remember which one...  but you were
           joining one."
You say to Delryn, "I don't think you have any idea how angry I
            am right now."
You nod at Jesatu
Minraed stands and paces again, stomping across the dock as
            she does
Delryn says to Minraed, "i thihnk you're right....but tha's why i'm
            not  telling his name"
Delryn says to Jesatu, "i was ?"
You say to Delryn, "good, protect the one who is offending me"
Delryn says to Jesatu, "minraed said something similar yeah"
Minraed gives a sarcastic smirk
Delryn says to Minraed, "you'd prolly fly at his throat and tear
         him to  pieces..."
You say, "yes, I will"
You nod seriously
Minraed's eyes appear red and swollen in her anger and
           frustration
Minraed rubs her  eyes and paces some more
Delryn says, "can't afford that risk...what if he's the only link to
           the  past ?"
Delryn says, "not untill the fog inside my mind lifts"
Jesatu blinks
Delryn looks at Jesatu.
You say, "I can't take this anymore."
Minraed waves her hand dismissively
Delryn sighs sadly
You say, "maybe I was just wrong"
You say, "but this is not the end of this"
Minraed stomps out
to the top
back home
