//   Zahara was causing trouble one day, she and Sapo had a rocky
	     relationship from previously ;)

	Logged by: PO Sapo (probably sometime in 2000.)


Zahara sings to you in xyllic: We will meet again and you will learn a lesson.

You are on the old graveyard of Tilverton, on a path between the graves,
ending at the rusty, iron-spiked fence that surrounds the graveyard. The
graves here have been violated.
There is one obvious exit: west.
A northern grave.
Griffin (surrounded by a shimmering barrier), Gwenderon, Kyrei (surrounded
by a shimmering barrier), Shame, Sherekhan, Shev (surrounded by a
shimmering barrier), Zach, Zahara, a group of eleven Zombies, a group of
twelve Ghouls, (many purple-eyed furry neuter demons) and a skeleton.

You leave your leader.

You say in xyllic: learn now?
> 
> Shev sighs deeply.
> 
> Zahara sings to you in xyllic: You want to duel me?
Zahara snickers.

> You are physically feeling very well and mentally in full vigour.
You are extremely alert.

> Zahara sings to you in xyllic: Be my guest.

You shake your head in disagreement.

> Zahara sings to you in xyllic: I challenge you.

You say in xyllic: I don't care for a lesson at all.

You say in xyllic: but you wanted to teach me one, you just said.

> You sit down to rest a while.

You say in xyllic: I wait for a lesson now.

> Kyrei whispers something to Sherekhan.
Sherekhan raises its arms and mumbles some arcane syllables.
You recognize the spell as shield.

Zahara sings in xyllic: or any other mage that wants to take that gnomes
place.

Sherekhan touches Kyrei's shimmering indigo aura.

You are physically feeling very well and mentally in full vigour.
You are extremely alert.

You shuffle your legs nervously and jump to your feet.

You point your wand at Zahara and shout: mutanlim.
> You point at Zahara and flames shoot forth from you to her.
All of a sudden she is engulfed in flames.
You notice how the forces are building up inside yourself,
as your body is merging with the flames you summoned.
You turn to attack the skeleton.

>  Gingali: Greetings Mages.

Zahara sings to you in xyllic: You will learn more when we are alone.

You point your wand at Zahara and shout: abtanlim.
> You point at Zahara and flames shoot forth from you to her.
All of a sudden she is engulfed in flames.
Shev sighs deeply.
Shev looks at Zahara.

Zahara starts moving west.
Zahara skips out west.
Zach starts moving west.
Zach flaps west.
The skeleton starts moving west.
The skeleton leaves west.
The group of eleven Zombies leave west.
The group of twelve Ghouls leave west.

> Kyrei whispers in xyllic: Sapo . . .

 Mohegia: Greetings from me as well
You shrug helplessly.

Shev whistles slightly.
You say in xyllic: lesson learned.

Shev closes her eyes and starts to concentrate.

You say in xyllic: I die next time.
> Kyrei sighs deeply.
Shev opens her eyes again.
 Maedhros: Hello, Mohegia.

Gwenderon sings in xyllic: How badly did you hurt her?

You spit on the ground.

> Griffin says in xyllic: That was slightly amusing.
Shev sings in xyllic: she was in bad shape.
Shev closes her eyes and starts to concentrate.
Shev opens her eyes again.

You say in xyllic: I still had two charges to go and staffbound.
> Shev sings in xyllic: after the second inferno.  she was far west, she's gone
now.
Shev closes her eyes and starts to concentrate.
Shev opens her eyes again.
Shev closes her eyes and starts to concentrate.
Your eyes flicker and then your magical sight is gone.
Shev opens her eyes again.
Kyrei whispers to you in xyllic: That was really unfair . . .

You shrug helplessly.

You say to Kyrei in xyllic: She said she teaches me a lesson.
> > Kyrei whispers in xyllic: Not that her response will be any more fair . . . 
The wheel turns again.
The shimmering barrier around you vanishes.

> You start with a magical gesture.
> Shame looks at the large backpack.
You trace the rune of earth into the air. It flares up briefly, then a translucent mass of earth arises and surrounds you.
Gwenderon sings in xyllic: You will learn that you cant always be fair Kyrei
Shame gets an emerald ring from the backpack.
Your magic resistance is gone.
Shev says to Kyrei in xyllic: The wheel keeps turning forever, Kyrei.

You start with a magical gesture.
> Shame concentrates on his emerald ring.  The ring flashes brightly, then
returns to its normal colour.
You make a magical gesture to resist against magical influence.
Shev says to Kyrei in xyllic: only reason it may stop for us is if we get off
it.
Kyrei asks you in xyllic: do you want to settle this now?
Kyrei whispers in xyllic: I will stand for you.
Gwenderon takes a deep breath.

You shake your head at Kyrei.

You concentrate on zahara.

You are surrounded with a light blue aura.
You are wielding a gray ash staff.
You are wearing a badge, a dark green shimmering robe, a dark green shirt,
two golden rings, a medium backpack, a pair of worn leather trousers, a red
gnomish hat with a wide brim and black feathers, a small herbbag and a
snake suit.
  You are carrying a precious gem, a restore Mana potion, a scrollcase,
  a simple bag and two wooden wands.
> 
> Gwenderon chants a prayer to his deity.
Kyrei whispers in xyllic: If she will promise not to harm you later.  I can
defeat her.

You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Zahara: We can finish now, you can kill me.
Gwenderon blesses himself in the name of Rokoon.
You hear a falcon cry high in the sky.
Kyrei whispers in xyllic: Even in this lousy potential.
Shev smiles at Gwenderon.
A spectral image of Zahara appears and tells you:

        I am the one that dictates the terms and the time, not you.

Quickly, the image dissolves.

You say in xyllic: I told her she can kill me now.
> You shrug helplessly.

	// The end. She never killed me, but she did come after Sapo a time or two.
	
	   Moral of the story: When you've got plenty of backup, it's not a bad time
           to showcase your firepower. ;)
