The Padorn Inn.
This is the tap-room of the Padorn Inn, you can have a drink here, eat
something or just enjoy yourself talking with others. To the south you
can
leave the Inn to the main road and a door to the east leads on the
market
place.
Upstairs are the rooms for visitors of the Inn. You can get a key from
the
bar
keeper. ( Just look at the price list ).
There are three obvious exits: east, south, up.
A cuckooclock, a torch, a trashbin and a waterskin (0l).

Sniz, male gnome.
You see an extremely tiny little gnome, his shiny black eyes under

curiously.
You notice scars on his nose and left cheek.
He is very short and skinny for a gnome.

Padorn Main Road.
The Main Road runs west and east, through the central marketplace. To
the
north, you see the Padorn Inn, where you surely can get a drink or two.

***travelling to Tilverton with my prey removed***
> You are on the old graveyard of Tilverton, on a small place from which
four
paths emerge. Unlike the pathes, the ground here is plastered with
stones
that are still quite intact. The remains of wooden benches are
positioned
here with a small fountain in the centre. A small dragon serves as a
gargoyle, it's still emerging black, foul-smelling water.
There are four obvious exits: east, north, south, west.
Sniz slips in.
> You notice a horrible stench.

You say in xyllic:
gnomes are indeed funny, more so than dwarves.
> Sniz offers in xyllic:

You say in xyllic:

> Red snickers.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
It stinks!

Sniz smiles.
Red whispers to you in xyllic:
what exactly will you do with him?
You ask Sniz in xyllic:

> Red smiles curiously.
Red chuckles politely.
You say in xyllic:

> Sniz offers in xyllic:
LordChocoon is not around, mam

I cannot talk to brains, sorry, I gave you the choccie but Diz
talked
into your brain

> Sniz nods happily.
You say in xyllic:

> Sniz offers in xyllic:
But eating the choccie you did!
Sniz tries to pout but cant due to the rope.
You say in xyllic:

> Sniz offers in xyllic:
Yes, Mr. Paris attacked you
Sniz smiles.
You hiss softly in xyllic:
that was not so nice!
> Sniz offers in xyllic:
i didnt ask him to!
You emote: Zahara wiggles her finger in front of Sniz.
Red snickers.
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.
> You fail to keep your concentration.
Mana overcast. You totally fail the spell.
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.
> You force Sniz to sleep and send him evil dreams.
Sniz falls unconscious.
You are in front of a large crypt, some stairs are leading down into it.
There are two obvious exits: down, west.
A rope tied to Sniz and held by you and a rotten sign.
Sniz (unconscious) (bound with a rope).
Wafts of mist float around you.
You cannot subdue someone that is already bound.
You untie the rope and get it.
You grab Sniz's arm and pull it up behind his back, subduing him.
You drag Sniz down.
> Delniq presses the runes on the skull.
Delniq attacks Sniz.
Delniq guards the up exit.
You are standing before a small shrine. The sign of Bhaal, a skull
surrounded by blood drops, flickers in the air above it. The stench of
blood and gore emanating from rotting corpses piled up around the shrine
is
unbearable. Steep, slippery stairs lead back up onto the surface. A sign
was fixed to a wall.
The up exit is blocked by Delniq.
There is one obvious exit: up.
A donation box and a skull on a short pillar.
Red.
Delniq.
Sniz (unconscious).
Sniz is fighting Delniq.
Delniq is fighting you and Sniz.
You place your hands on either side of the skull and thrust your thumbs
deep
into the eye sockets.
> Sniz's wounds start to bleed.
You hear a strange crackling sound....
An eerie reddish glow begins to emanate from the skull and pillar. Smoke
begins to rise and a faint moaning sound, mingled with insane laughter
echoes
through the room.
> Suddenly, the pillar starts to rise quickly from the ground, and row
upon row
of white ribs rushes past you.
You step into the shimmering earthgate and are flung through the void!
A reddish glow rushes towards you and you have reached your destination.
You drag Sniz X.
At the base of the long, steep stairs is a weird crypt with a domed
ceiling. In the centre of a low dais stands a wicked-looking skull on a
short, black wooden pillar, and shelves carved from the rock walls are
stacked with old bones. A lever is on the wall next to the steps.
An open earthgate.
Sniz (unconscious).
> Sniz is bleeding.
You bandage Sniz's bloodloss.
You bandage Sniz's bloodloss.
First aid is meant to treat bloodloss.
> Sniz wakes up.
You look at Sniz.
Sniz is a black-eyed green-haired male gnome, presenting himself as:
Sniz, male gnome.
You see an extremely tiny little gnome, his shiny black eyes under
his green-coloured hair glitter at you like precious jewels. While
you continue looking at him he seems not to be able to stop and
stay on one place for a longer time and always seems to eye you
curiously.
You notice scars on his nose and left cheek.
His arm is pulled up behind his back with you holding it tightly.
He is very short and skinny for a gnome.
He looks unpleasant.
He is not in a good shape.
He is slightly weary.
He is wearing a black cloak with silver trim, two golden rings, a
greenish
metal medallion, a large blue-green robe, a large scabbard (with a
golden
tschekal sheathed inside), a medium backpack, a money belt, a pair of
gnomish boots, a plum wristband and a red gnomish hat with a wide brim
and
black feathers.
You guess he is wearing a black headband with three white stars, a
gnomish
ringshirt, a pair of gnomish green trousers, a pair of leathern leg
plates
and a tiny blue shirt additionally.
>
The reddish shimmer between the open ribs of the earthgate suddenly
flickers
and disappears. The ribs creak and groan, then snap inwards! The two
wooden
beams hinged on the ribs meet the rear half of the totem with a
resounding
bang!
A sound like thunder rumbles through the room and the skull begins to
gleam
with inner red light.
The skull totem sinks quickly into the ground, and row upon row of white
ribs
rushes past you and disappears from sight.
The pillar slows to a stop three feet above the ground. Some wisps of
smoke
dissipate and receding laughter sounds through the room, then all is
quiet.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
oh
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Red: I am in the crypt..come thru the earthgate.
At the base of the long, steep stairs is a weird crypt with a domed
ceiling. In the centre of a low dais stands a wicked-looking skull on a
short, black wooden pillar, and shelves carved from the rock walls are

Skeleton# Gwenderon says in an unfamilar tongue: Borras?
You say in xyllic:
no.
> Skeleton# Gwenderon looks at you.
Sniz offers in xyllic:

to
the nether realms!
Skeleton# The skeleton cries out and crumbles to dust.
Skeleton# You died. You can see your dead body from above.
> Sniz looks at the lever.
Skeleton# Gwenderon dances in.
Skeleton# Gwenderon presents a holy symbol and shouts: I banish thee to
the nether realms!

Skeleton# You died. You can see your dead body from above.
You say to Sniz in xyllic:
you are not bound, but you got no chance of escape.
A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
lets talk about Sniz and if you feel like releasing him?
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
You smile mischievously at Sniz.
> Sniz offers in xyllic:
ah
Red suddenly appears from the earthgate in a glare of red light.
> Sniz offers in xyllic:
good to know!
Sniz offers in xyllic:

Sniz offers in xyllic:

Sniz smiles curiously.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Gwenderon: Fine.. lets talk.
Red smiles at you.
You say in xyllic:

You ask Red in xyllic:

Atlantis.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
do you have a bit fresh air or such?
You shake your head at Sniz.
At the base of the long, steep stairs is a weird crypt with a domed
ceiling. In the centre of a low dais stands a wicked-looking skull on a

Red.
Sniz.
> Red looks at the pair of leather bracers.
Red goes hmmmm.
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.
> You smile comfortingly at Sniz.
> Sniz offers in xyllic:

You tried to force Sniz to sleep, but he resists your attempt.
A spectral image of Tabricolon appears and tells you:
Greetings , how is the smell of undeads today?
and the image disappears as quickly as it appeared.
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.

> Red goes hmmmm.
A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
Well you got the wrong person then. He is a satai and no mage
and
mages are the ones who chained your ship and killed you.

> Sniz offers in xyllic:
How is ransom measured?
Red laughs.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
from size?

Red says to Sniz in xyllic:
I hope not...
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I could offer you 13 gold coins

does it matter if she did?
You hear a faint noise. Looking around you see no source.
You realize it is a voice in your head!
You recognize the voice as the voice of Delan. It whispers:
tormenting satais?
The voice fades into silence.
Red grins evilly at Sniz.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
everyone knows that a stone is not worth platinum stones
Red says to you in xyllic:
maybe you should make him unconscious again?
Red smiles hopefully.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
She makes me unconscious?
> Sniz offers in xyllic:
Well, lets make us a deal
> Sniz offers in xyllic:
I offer you my shimmering stone, and perhaps 5 more shimmering
stones,
Red hides himself in the darkness.
You shake your head at Sniz.
You say in xyllic:
Valcaran refused...
> Red looks at the shimmering stone.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
10 shimmering stones?
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
who needs that one...
Red snickers.
Red drops a shimmering stone.
Red sits down to rest a while.
Albertus pecunus# Ok.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Valcaran: Are you around, judge?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
hey, my stone!!!
Red goes hmmmm.
Red stretches his legs and stands up gracefully.
Bright flames suddenly erupt from the ground.
For a moment you can see the image of Valcaran within the flames.
He tells you:
i heard of your offer, i cant accept...
in a great flash the flames turn to smoke.
Red asks you in xyllic:
whats going on?
Zach suddenly appears from the earthgate in a glare of red light.
A group of eight Zombies arrives in a puff of smoke.
A group of seven Ghouls arrives in a puff of smoke.
A group of thirteen Skeletons arrives in a puff of smoke.
Red slowly scratches his head.
At the base of the long, steep stairs is a weird crypt with a domed
ceiling. In the centre of a low dais stands a wicked-looking skull on a
short, black wooden pillar, and shelves carved from the rock walls are
stacked with old bones. A lever is on the wall next to the steps.
An open earthgate and a shimmering stone.
Red.
Sniz.
Zach.
A group of eight Zombies.
A group of seven Ghouls.
A group of thirteen Skeletons.
Red laughs.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
oh, the moaning crew?
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
ahh
You smirk.
> Red looks at Zach.
Bright flames suddenly erupt from the ground.
For a moment you can see the image of Valcaran within the flames.
He tells you:
i would endanger all innocent if you have success with this
in a great flash the flames turn to smoke.
Red chuckles softly.
Sniz asks Zach in xyllic:
You are here to let me out?
Red says to Sniz in xyllic:
you wish
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I wish what?
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Valcaran: Well, there will be no peace until the unlawful
chaining of my ship has ended.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I want my stone!!
A ring of mystical fire begins to burn in the air.
A mystic image forms in the ring of fire resembling
that of Dralork saying:
Take me instead...Sniz is too young for this in his brain.
The image slowly disappears...
The ring of fire slowly disappears from view.
Red asks you in xyllic:
Valcaran refused to pay for him?
Sniz looks at the shimmering stone.
Sniz sniffs.
You say in xyllic:
I told valcaran that there will be no peace until the unlawful
chaining
of my ship is ended.
> Red nods solemnly to you.
Sniz asks Zach in xyllic:
can you give me my stone perhaps?
Red sighs deeply.
Zach peers hungrily at Sniz.
> Red whispers to you in xyllic:
he is pretty annoying...
Red snickers.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
if you eat me I am worth nothing
Bright flames suddenly erupt from the ground.
For a moment you can see the image of Valcaran within the flames.
He tells you:
why dont you just buy a new ship?
Suddenly the air near your head seems to freeze. Amazed you watch the
little
ice crystals puzzling themselves together forming the face of Paris .
With
a
crushing voice the icy face tries to tell you:
Me for him.
Speaking the last word the icy face breaks into thousands of pieces.
Sniz asks Red in xyllic:
want my coins now?
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
this is good practice for me
> A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
Well valc wont release your ship so now?
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
then it was a good deal for you
Red says to you in xyllic:
we should do this more often
Red grins evilly.
You say in xyllic:
amazing, two morons already offered themselves to be exchanged for
the gnome.
Red chuckles politely.
Red laughs loudly.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Comeon, take my coins, thats more than nothing
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> Red offers you a piece of paper (with text).
You tell Gwenderon: His weight in platinum.
Red grins evilly at you.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Hey, my invention!!!!
You accept a piece of paper (with text) from Red.
This is a sketch of a great and famous gnomish invention.
You can see a big box and tiny ladders all around it.
One ladder stands a few feet away from the box.
You take 2 ropes and fasten them to something above, like a tree branch.
Should be able to carry some weight thought (the branch).
Then you tie the lower ends (those not tied to the tree)
around some kind of plank (something you can sit on).
Then you can sit down on the plank and swing back and forth.
Perfect for children to play. You can also try
some acrobatic stunts ;). Have fun.
> A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
500 plats?
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Give me back my invention!
Red goes hmmmm.
Sniz stomps his feet angrily on the ground.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
NOW!
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
he has nothing left in his backpack...
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Gwenderon: Exactly.
Red snickers.
Red hides himself in the darkness.
Red goes hmmmm.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I want I want I want I want I want it back!
Red sighs deeply.
Red drops a small pouch.
Suddenly the air near your head seems to freeze. Amazed you watch the
little
ice crystals puzzling themselves together forming the face of Paris .
With
a
crushing voice the icy face tries to tell you:
Is that a deal ?
Speaking the last word the icy face breaks into thousands of pieces.
Red drops a rope.
Red drops a blank sheet of parchment.
Red goes hmmmm.
Sniz looks at the medium backpack.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Paris: I cannot see why I should do that.
Red drops a vial of dark brown ink.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
give me back my papers!
Suddenly the air near your head seems to freeze. Amazed you watch the
little
ice crystals puzzling themselves together forming the face of Paris .
With
a
crushing voice the icy face tries to tell you:
You want something from a mage not from a satai. So why
capture a satai ?
Speaking the last word the icy face breaks into thousands of pieces.
Red asks you in xyllic:
you don't mind me dropping this stuff do you?
Red slowly stretches his tired body.
Red looks at Sniz.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
Sniz struggles slightly.
You say in xyllic:
pah, they are slow...
Sniz asks you in xyllic:
please give me back my papers!
Red chuckles politely.
A ring of mystical fire begins to burn in the air.
A mystic image forms in the ring of fire resembling
that of Dralork saying:
Hello??? YOU there?? *Bob Bop*
The image slowly disappears...
The ring of fire slowly disappears from view.
You ask Red in xyllic:
would you bring paris here, bound?
You ask Red in xyllic:
He offers to be exchanged.
Red goes hmmmm.
One of the zombies loses a leg.
Red says to you in xyllic:
I would not be able to
Red chuckles politely.
Red hugs Sniz tightly but his hand gets caught in Sniz's greenish metal
medallion.
Red snaps his fingers.
Red chuckles politely.
You say to Red in xyllic:
oh sure, he will sleep, you will bind him and bring him here.
> Red grins evilly at you.
Red gets a rope.
Red laughs.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
I will try...
You say in xyllic:
meet him at the shrine in OT
Red nods solemnly.
Sniz asks in xyllic:
may I have my papers back?
Sniz smiles hopefully.
You say in xyllic:
order him to sleep, subdue him, and come here via the earthgate.
> Red whispers to you in xyllic:
hmm... I press the eye sockets right? and this is the crypt?
You nod solemnly to Red.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
I shall try...
Red places his hands on either side of the skull and thrusts his thumbs
deep
into the eye sockets.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
....papers?
An eerie reddish glow begins to emanate from the skull and pillar. Smoke
begins to rise and a faint moaning sound, mingled with insane laughter
echoes
through the room.

begins to rise and a faint moaning sound, mingled with insane laughter

You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Paris: come to the shrine in old tilverton.
Suddenly, the pillar starts to rise quickly from the ground, and row
upon
row
of white ribs rushes past you.
With a sound like rumbling thunder, the pillar reaches its maximum
height
and
slows to a stop.
The two wooden beams hinged on the ribs strain and make creaking sounds,
then
bend apart to form an oval which fills quickly with a faint, reddish
shimmer.
The ribs suddenly snap outwards and the pillar splits apart!

shimmer.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Lady Zahara? Hello?
Red enters the earthgate and disappears in a glare of red light.
You say to Sniz in xyllic:
you are too funny to sacrifice, I fear.
You grin amusedly at Sniz.
The reddish shimmer between the open ribs of the earthgate suddenly
flickers
and disappears. The ribs creak and groan, then snap inwards! The two
wooden
beams hinged on the ribs meet the rear half of the totem with a
resounding
bang!

Sniz growls cutely.
A sound like thunder rumbles through the room and the skull begins to
gleam
with inner red light.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
my papers?
The skull totem sinks quickly into the ground, and row upon row of white
ribs
rushes past you and disappears from sight.
The pillar slows to a stop three feet above the ground. Some wisps of
smoke
dissipate and receding laughter sounds through the room, then all is
quiet.
You say in xyllic:
but seems your friends are greedy, they dont respond to the 500
plats
offer.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
can you give me back my stuff please
You get a rotten left leg.
You offer a rotten left leg to Sniz.
You emote: Zahara's dark eyes sparkle mischievously.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
thats not my leg
You lost your concentration.
You say in xyllic:
be happy, that could change.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I would also give you all my gold coins for my papers
You drop a rotten left leg.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
take my leg if you want, as long asI get my papers!
You ask Sniz in xyllic:
why is a not entirely dumb gnome like you member of the brainless?
You curiously raise your eyebrow at Sniz.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I will only answer if I get my papers back
You offer a piece of paper (with text) to Sniz.
> Sniz accepts a piece of paper (with text).
Sniz smiles happily.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Well...
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Do you know the mighty warriors from my homelands?
You slightly shake your head at Sniz.
Sniz asks in xyllic:
not?
You say in xyllic:
gnomes as mighty warriors?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
they protect KiErenHome
You say in xyllic:
Ah.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
They protect the weak and innocent
Sniz smiles.
You say in xyllic:
yes, they pour hot oil on attackers.
You snicker.
>Sniz offers in xyllic:
and I want to do as they do
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Yes, we gnomes are famous inventors
Sniz nods proudly.
You say in xyllic:
hmm.. do you know how that oil machine works?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
My uncle invented it
You say in xyllic:
I couldnt get it to work.
One of the zombies loses a leg.
You say in xyllic:

Sniz sniffs.
Sniz offers in xyllic:

You grin amusedly.
You say in xyllic:
no, but you will tell me.
Sniz goes hmmmm.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
if you give me my shimmering stone, yes
You smirk.
> A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
Well they try to gather it it seems
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
You get a shimmering stone.
You offer a shimmering stone to Sniz.
> Sniz accepts a shimmering stone.
Sniz smiles brightly.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Well, an accident, he somehow was below the buckets of oil and then
it
happened
Sniz offers in xyllic:
tragical
Sniz sighs silently.
You cackle gleefully.
Sniz raises his eyebrow.
A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
Well they have it so what now?

Sniz offers in xyllic:
I dont think its funny
You say in xyllic:

You funnily raise your eyebrow at Sniz.
You say in xyllic:
it definitely IS funny.
Sniz smiles curiously.
You say in xyllic:
must have been a nice smell... fried gnome.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Gwenderon: let someone deposit it in the shrine, better not a
follower of the winddemon, or Delniq will be angry.
The rotten left leg decays to dust.
You say to Sniz in xyllic:
there is hope, you might be free soon...
A falcon swoops down on you.
It lands at your feet and transforms into a fierce warrior.
He starts to speak with a thundering voice:
I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
he will always be angry no matter who does it. No we do it
different. I give you the money and you give me the gnome, deal?
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Hmm, may I go now?
You say in xyllic:
not yet ..
Sniz asks in xyllic:
why not?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
how about a monthly ration of chocolate?
You suddenly hear the voice of Griffin whispering into your ear:
I want to talk to you about this in person. Where can I come?
You smile sweetly at Sniz.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Gwenderon: come to the Shrine.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Well, as i am here anyways...

do you know where I can find buttons for my invention?
A falcon swoops down on you.

I shall tell you from Gwenderon:
And you know me well enough to know i wont do anything to break
a
deal. Let me get the money
after delivering his message he transforms again into a falcon and flies
away.
> You suddenly hear the voice of Griffin whispering into your ear:
Before you get anything, I need to talk to you.
Sniz asks you in xyllic:
do you?
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Griffin: Hmm, not much to talk, but come with Gwenderon if
you
must.
You say in xyllic:
your friends are boring me.
Sniz shrugs helplessly.
You say in xyllic:
excuse me for a minute, i will get the coins.
Sniz asks in xyllic:
what do they do?
Sniz smiles curiously.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
what coins?
You say in xyllic:
500 plats, your ransom.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
oh
Sniz rubs the already more or less old scar on his nose.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
shall I follow you?
You say in xyllic:
the problem is, our shrinekeeper attacks you.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
oh
You say in xyllic:
lets try to be quick.
You say in xyllic:
defend yourself only, it increases your chances.
Sniz smiles merrily.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
I have walked all around OT and back, and he wasn't anywhere...
Red chuckles politely.
You say in xyllic:
pah.. all bragging about exchanging, and then he doesnt show up.
You say in xyllic:
mages....
You roll your eyes in exasperation.
Red grins evilly.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
shall I go back?
You suddenly hear the voice of Griffin whispering into your ear:
Where to meet you?
Red shakes his head in disagreement.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
no one came...
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
> You tell Griffin: in front of our Shrine.
Sniz asks in xyllic:
why dont you use a hammer to break the chains,btw?
You say to Red in xyllic:
come with me...
> Red nods solemnly to you.
You place your hands on either side of the skull and thrust your thumbs
deep
into the eye sockets.
You step into the shimmering earthgate and are flung through the void!
A reddish glow rushes towards you and you have reached your destination.
Delniq attacks you!
You drag Sniz X.
You are standing before a small shrine. The sign of Bhaal, a skull
surrounded by blood drops, flickers in the air above it. The stench of
blood and gore emanating from rotting corpses piled up around the shrine
is
unbearable. Steep, slippery stairs lead back up onto the surface. A sign
was fixed to a wall.
There is one obvious exit: up.
A donation box and an open earthgate.
Delniq.
Sniz.
Two skeletons.
Delniq is fighting you and Sniz.
A group of eight Zombies arrives in a puff of smoke.
A group of seven Ghouls arrives in a puff of smoke.
A group of thirteen Skeletons arrives in a puff of smoke.
Zach arrives in a puff of smoke.
Delniq goes back.
You drag Sniz up.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
is it interesting?
It gets lighter.
A horrible scream resounds from somewhere to the south.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
you know I could flee now?
Red chuckles politely.
Sniz starts to tap west.
Sniz slips west.
It gets darker.
Sniz slips in.
It gets lighter.
Sniz twinkles his eyes merrily.
Red asks you in xyllic:
did you give him his stuff back?
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.
> You smile comfortingly at Sniz.
> You force Sniz to sleep and send him evil dreams.
Sniz falls unconscious.
You say in xyllic:
rope pls
Red laughs.
Red offers you a rope.
You accept a rope from Red.
You bind Sniz so he can't move anymore.
You get the other end of the rope which is tied to sniz.
Sniz wakes up.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I thought I have slept enough, I wonder why I am still so tired
Sniz yawns.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
hey, where are you?
Red whispers to you in xyllic:
must be fun at times being a Necromancer
Red chuckles politely.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
ah, I understand
Sniz offers in xyllic:
blindfold, heh?
Griffin arrives.
Gwenderon dances in.
A bald fat male genie floats in.
Dargent dances in.
Dargent looks at Sniz.
You say in xyllic:
ah, finally.
> Red grins evilly at you.
Dargent looks at Zach.
You curtsey sarcastically to Dargent.
> Griffin asks you in xyllic:
What tells us you won't try this again?
Dargent looks at Red.
Griffin looks at Red.
You say to Griffin in xyllic:
Good question..
Sniz offers in xyllic:
does this take much longer? I still wanted to hmmm, eat something
Sniz offers in xyllic:
try what again?
Red nods slightly to Griffin.
Red nods slightly to Dargent.
You say to Griffin in xyllic:
but my ship was chained, and I dont like that.
The longsword shivers with glee as Dargent wields it.
Dargent wields a longsword in her right hand and left hand.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
As I said, use a hammer to break the chain
Sniz smiles wisely.
Griffin yells in xyllic:
And why do you think Satais were responsible for that?
You say to Dargent in xyllic:
unwield.
Dargent looks at the rotten left arm.
You peer intently at Dargent. Hmm...
Sniz offers in xyllic:
can someone please bring me out to fresh air??
You say to Griffin in xyllic:
I said Gwenderond, not her.
You point at Dargent.
Dargent says in xyllic:
i have to watch this nasty pp won't steal it.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Lady Zahara, who is there? please please tell me!
Griffin yells to you in xyllic:
She came on her own.
Red whispers softly in xyllic:
nasty?
You say in xyllic:
well, back to this business, then...
Griffin yells to Sniz in xyllic:
Gwenderon, Griffin, and Dargent are here.
Sniz goes hmmmm.
Gwenderon looks at Red.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
ah, hi!
Dargent says in xyllic:
okay excuse me for judging, but you keep a bad company.
Sniz smiles.
You snarl angrily in xyllic:
Valcaran chained MY ship.
Red nods slightly to Gwenderon.
Dargent chants a prayer to her deity.
Dargent points at her silver ornamented cleric's robe and a draught of
air
moves towards it and stirs it gently.
Gwenderon nods slightly to Red.
Dargent looks at the rotten sign.
You say in xyllic:
I sent them several warnings, to unchain it.
Griffin yells in xyllic:
And why do you capture a Satai to take revenge for that?
Griffin yells in xyllic:
Did Sniz chain your ship?
Dargent says in xyllic:
what do the mages care about satais?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
not really...shall I?
You say in xyllic:
This gnome was in the team that drove me away from Atlantis.
Gwenderon takes a deep breath.
You say in xyllic:
so he is allied with those mages.
You say in xyllic:
and I dont care if someone is a mage or a mage ally.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I asked you to go away with your moaning people
Griffin yells to you in xyllic:
You can ignore all other offers and such from my guild members, by
the
way. It seems everyone wants to be the hero.
Gwenderon looks at Sniz.
You laugh at Griffin.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
can someone remove that thing in front of my eyes please?
Red chuckles silently.
uhm
One of the zombies loses a leg.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
no please dont
Sniz offers in xyllic:
these moaning people keep on losing things
You say in xyllic:
well, originally I planned to sacrifice the gnome, but I think he
is
too
small and BHAAL would not be pleased.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I am not small!
Red snickers.
You advance.
You place your needle deep into the left hand of Sniz!
Dargent says in xyllic:
yes, you wouldn't want to anger your god.
You look at the small black needle.
A short needle with something like a small leather bulb on the blunt
end. The tip is very fine, but you notice that it has a tiny opening
instead of a point. You guess that the needle is hollow, like a
syringe.
The leather bulb seems to be filled with liquid. You can force it out
by pushing on the bulb.
You smile contentedly.
You go back.
Red looks at Sniz.
Griffin looks at Sniz.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
compared to a few others I am really big
Sniz smiles.
You say in xyllic:
well, Valcaran told me I need to buy a new ship.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
shall I chain the new one then?
You say to Sniz in xyllic:
ah, you want to visit my friends again?
Sniz offers in xyllic:
your friends? these moaning people are your friends or you mean
that
guy
below here that beat me up badly?
You ask in xyllic:
so, you got the money?
You say in xyllic:
I think its fair. The gnome's weight in platinum.
Griffin yells in xyllic:
I want one more condition.
You say in xyllic:
ah... we didnt talk about conditions.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
copper would be fair
Sniz smiles friendly.
Griffin yells in xyllic:
Can you promise that you'll not do this anymore?
Red whispers to you in xyllic:
when did this turn into a negotiation?
You nod solemnly to Red.
Red slowly scratches his head.
You say to Griffin in xyllic:
I will do this again if I am bothered again, my ships are chained,
or
any other annoying events.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
well, my weight in platinum
Sniz offers in xyllic:
perhaps I should remove my clothes so its really fair
You grin amusedly at Sniz.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I carry heavy things, you know?
You say to Sniz in xyllic:
nah, my servants might go crazy if you do that.
Red chuckles politely.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Why dont you send them away then?
Dargent says in xyllic:
the red-haired elf?
Zach peers hungrily at Sniz.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
I dont like their moaning anyways
Sniz offers in xyllic:
and that smell
Dargent looks at Zach.
You say in xyllic:
oh, they are all former Satai, I think.
> Gwenderon says to Zach in xyllic:
Behave or i will banish you
Sniz offers in xyllic:
does the smell go off your clothes when you wash them?
The rotten left arm decays to dust.
Red grins evilly at you.
Griffin whispers something to Gwenderon.
Gwenderon nods solemnly to Griffin.
Gwenderon whispers something to Griffin.
Zach peers angrily at Gwenderon.
Griffin nods solemnly to Gwenderon.
You twiddle your thumbs.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
Hello? is there anyone?
Sniz struggles slightly.
You say in xyllic:
at least the gnome is almost undamaged.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
almost?
Red snickers.
Gwenderon smiles at Zach.
Griffin whispers something to Dargent.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
That guy beat me up, so we reduce the ransom 50%
Red says to you in xyllic:
good point...
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
Dargent says in xyllic:
hmm.
Red grins evilly at you.
Zach hides behind Zahara.
Dargent takes a deep breath.
Dargent chants a prayer to her deity.
Dargent chants louder until her prayer fills the whole room and you are
unable to hear anything else.
Dargent blesses herself in the name of Rokoon.
You hear a falcon cry high in the sky.
Dargent whispers something to Griffin.
Red growls silently.
You say in xyllic:
hmmm.. I am getting bored slowly.
Sniz offers in xyllic:
let me free and you can do whatever you please
Sniz smiles hopefully.
Griffin whispers something to Dargent.

Dralork is a stout young male dwarf, presenting himself as:
Dralork, male dwarf.
His long golden brown hair is in a perfect pony tail as it runs clear
down his back. He has a scar over his right eye. He has a large tattoo
of a glowing tschekal on his right arm. His body is very muscular. He is
clean shaven with the exception of a short goattee. His eyes are as blue
as the sky.
You notice scars on his nose, left hand, right hand, forehead, left
cheek
and right cheek.
He is tall and lean for a dwarf.
He looks nice.
He is in good shape.
He is somewhat alert.
He is wearing a black cloak with silver trim, a black-silver robe, a
dull
brown earring with a gem, a dwarven helmet, a glowing black-silver
earring
with a gem, two golden rings, a greenish metal medallion, a large
scabbard
(with a blacksilver tschekal sheathed inside), a medium backpack, a pair
of
black leather boots and a sash.
You guess he is wearing a black headband with five white stars, a
black-silver shirt, a black-silver trousers, a dwarven coat of mail and
a
snake suit additionally.

how kind.
You say in xyllic:
certainly.
You tell Griffin: I think the AMs should reimburse you.. *smirk*
> You tell Sniz: You were brave, little one. When you are older, you
might
even become a worthy sacrifice.
You suddenly hear the voice of Griffin whispering into your ear:
Sniz asked me to tell you that he will not enjoy being a
sacrifice
when he is older.
You start to concentrate upon the spell.
You tell Sniz: Oh, I ensure you its a nice experience.... lying on the
cold floor, in a chalk circle,
surrounded by burning candles. Cold steel at your throat ...
You suddenly hear the voice of Griffin whispering into your ear:
Sniz says he would prefer warm steel, and that that the floor
not
be that cold.
