12:55AM - Kythera just dragged a massive boulder with him as he went southwest.

[Middens, Crossbow Bend]
Before you stands the Observatory of the Southern Crossbow. It is a three-story edifice, its sixteen-sided walls capped with a crystal dome. The top floor is also the nerve center of the Moon Mages' Guild, a most powerful and revered arcane circle throughout Elanthia. All in all a rather quirky structure, it manages to inspire awe and curiosity at the same time. A carved ivory door leads inside. You also see a massive boulder, a salt-stained copper box, a Wayerd pyramid, some grass, and an ivory urn.
Also here: Determinist Kythera, Greklin, Rinet who is sitting, Beast Dreheart, Contemplator Serburis, Researcher Grandpere, Phaotean, and Diviner Helemer.

11:49PM - You try to creep out of hiding but your injuries cause you to stumble and crash to the ground!

>You stand back up.

I never made it down to Leth for the street faire, my training in Haven has kept me too busy to travel much. Not too mention the wounds making it difficult to even stand at times.

Dagreth has been so pleased with my training that he taught me a new spell. Now I can actually restore my own vitality as I give it to another. Not that missing that spell ever stopped me before...

~Just Me, Whyt

Thursday, July 8, 2004

10:22PM - >Your spell backfires by a large amount.

You rub your head.

Training is difficult at times. Dagreth finally taught me the last spell I need to be independent, to be able to heal my own wounds and not rely on herbs or others to help. But more times than not I cannot control the power of my spells and I do even more damage.

I'm not sure exactly how much longer I will stay in Riverhaven, things here seem tense and most of the other empaths have already left. I mostly stay outside of town and help Suruli and her friends when they return from hunts...

[Mistwood Forest Road]
Faded red bricks, once neatly laid in a herringbone pattern, now exist only as scraps of pavement heaved up and broken by years of neglect. Weeds grow through the crumbled mortar, obscuring the direction of the road. Wild roses climb in a high thicket along the northern side of the road to form a tangled mass of sweetly scented thorns. You also see a tattered sign nailed to a tree.
Also here Gadabout Urusai, Abson, and Medic Jenell.
Obvious paths: north, south.
>Jenell says, "Triksy.."
>Urusai picks up the pace of his chant, letting each measure roll after the other with a simple grace excelled only by the precision at which he performs it.
>Jenell says, "we cant heal you if you hide"
>You hear the voice of Triksy say, "yes"
>Triksy comes out of hiding.
>Triksy jumps back from Jenell!
>Jenell just touched Triksy.
>You laugh!
>You nod to Triksy.
>You say, "Know the feeling"
>You shudder.
>Abson points at Urusai, waggles a finger at his temple and then brings both fists to his chest.
>You sense that Triksy's left leg scars are fully healed.
>You peer quizzically at Abson.
>You ask, "what was that?"
>You ponder.
>Abson says, "Urusai is a crazy friend"
>You sense nothing wrong with Triksy.
>Jenell just left.
>Abson roots around the area for a moment.
>You say, "all healed Triksy"
>Urusai continues to chant the infectious strains of "Faenella's Grace," seeming to lose himself in the very rhythms he produces.
beam trikI could not find what you were referring to.
>You preen!
>You hear the voice of Triksy say, "thanks"
>You say, "anytime"
>Determinist Kythera just arrived.
>Kythera slowly empties his lungs.
>You ponder.
>Kythera wipes his forehead.
>read sign
>A tattered sign reads:

Greetings and Salutations!

Come one, come all to the Leth Deriel Street Faire! Join in the games, fun activities, workshops, and lectures. Singers, dancers, and food galore, storytelling contest, jousting, archery and so much more. There's eve
raffle! Fun, games and who knows what else, will be found at the

I could only read half the sign, but it was enough to make me homesick and long to visit.
Things sound much happier there now...
~Just me, Whyt

9:29PM - Jenell feels her blood begin to pound at the sound of the rousing chant, "Rage of the Clans".

While we were cleaning up after helping the hunters, Jenell told me a little story about the last time she had hunted, er helped the wounded in this same spot a few days before............

(As told by Medic Jenell)

6:21PM - I've moved to 'Haven for the time being..

Until I am strong enough to return home to Leth where I can help those that are left there. Those I have met along the way tell me that it is much easier and friendler to train here in 'Haven than the Crossing, even though I do miss the Velah'tor plant.
It was a bit of a perilous journey North. I took one or two wrong turns on the NTR and was chased by windhounds, they would kill me the first strike. So I mostly staying in hiding, and crept quietly along the trail..
Last night I finally met Shawntelle, I had heard so much about her since she's a good friend of Suruli's and one of Jadzi's family who I met at the plant.

>smile pantherThe black panther stares at you as if trying to figure out what you're doing to your face.

>per healYou close your eyes, drawing all your thoughts inward, and then slowly reach out to sense the life essences of those around you...

You fail to sense anything, however.

>Shawntelle says, "I love Lang best for healing"
>You say, "I plan to probably set up shop in Leth eventually"
>You shrug.
>You notice as a black panther yawns lazily for a moment, showing large white fangs.
>Shawntelle asks, "Think there's enough business in Leth?"
>You say, "I haven't spent enough time there to really know"
>Shawntelle says, "It's usually empty"
>You say, "And when I did everyone was hiding "
>Shawntelle says, "Jadzi passes through there a lot and it's usually empty"
>You nod to Shawntelle.
>Shawntelle says, "Which is sad, it's lovely town"
>You nod to Shawntelle.
>You say, "It is"
>Shawntelle says, "Pluse your an Elf and all"
>You say, "Originally from there"
>Shawntelle nods to you.
>You notice as a black panther looks around cautiously.
>You sigh sadly.
>You say, "escaped when Raenilar ran through"
>Garyne's group just arrived.
>You say, "Hello"
>You hug Garyne who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile.
>The sharp pang of screaming comes from the nearby hospital. They must be breaking in another trainee.
>Garyne smiles at you.
>Medic Shawntelle entered the Empath's Guild.
>Garyne rests his hand on your arm with a soft smile.
You feel a warmth radiate from Garyne's touch.
You have a brief sensation that leaves your wounds tingling.
Medic Shawntelle just arrived.
>Shawntelle yawns expansively.
>You shake your head at Garyne.
>You say, "Shawntelle just got them all"
>You squint at Shawntelle.
>Shawntelle asks, "Hmmm?"
>Shawntelle asks, "Got all what?"
>Garyne waves to you.
Garyne's group just went north.
>You say, "You are not tired"
>Shawntelle says, "No"
>Shawntelle asks, "Oh, so you're fixed now?"
>You say, "Garyne was looking for fresh wounds "
>You chuckle.
>You say, "Nope"
>Shawntelle says, "Oh"
>Shawntelle laughs!
>You rest your hand on Shawntelle's arm with a soft smile.
>You sigh.
>You say, "Still can't see..."

I also got to meet Garyne, another Elven Empath just starting out, though much much older than me. I may have to start calling him 'Gramps'.

Shawntelle was nice enough to help me out, and as I am still having a really difficult time seeing wounds. This of course doesn't add to my mood, though maybe that's a good thing since I'm told I'm a bit of a baby.

That's all for now, I have so much work to do...

~Just me, Whyt

Thursday, May 20, 2004

12:25AM - You imagine a happy place, filled with creme tarts and bunnies, and yourself, as their supreme ruler

You wake up from your daydream, and begin paying attention again.
You take in a great breath of air.
You gaze off to the south.

As if in a dream, a vision forms in your mind...

'The Elven woodland fortress of Leth Deriel looms before you to the south, its walls of defensive deobar trees forming huge arcs to the southwest and east. The high tops and entwined branches of the Alder Bower Gate overshadow the south section of the road. Even from this distance, you see the tallest, most ancient and most venerated tree in the Elven lands, the Sana'ati Dyaus, which stands at the center of the city.'

My family was brutally murdered when Raenilar and his Outcasts rolled over Leth on their way South to try and take Shard.

I had been high up in a treetop when the troops arrived, lost deep in a daydream. Only a child myself, I hid, I'm not even able to heal my own wounds yet. My mother had told me that I wasn't ready to learn that spell, she kept saying 'Maybe tomorrow' and smiling brightly at me. She didn't know that tomorrow wouldn't come for her.

Once the screaming stopped, and the smoke stopped rolling off the boiling vats of oil the Outcasts set on barricades...I started sneaking slowly, methodically to the north. The opposite direction of Raenilar.

You sneak north...

[Southern Trade Route, Bosque Deriel]
Sounds unlike any you know whirl about you in a choir of whisperings, rustlings, murmurings, and guttural hisses. Strange calls, unlike those of any bird, reverberate in the treetops. You feel as though this is all for your benefit or rather to your detriment, as though someone or something were watching all the traffic along this route, and signaling your approach.
Obvious paths: northeast, south, southwest, northwest.


You sneak northeast...

>[Southern Trade Route, Endrus Forest]
Shadows envelop the foliage to the southeast as if hiding an ancient and shameful secret. The deobars weep silent tears from mossy tendrils, and even a majestic sana'ati tree shies away from the heart of Endrus Forest.
Obvious paths: north, southeast.

You sneak north...

Until I found some safety within the gates of Crossing, and in the gardens of the Temple.

[Temple Grounds, Garden]
A veritable forest of color explodes before you as the cobbled path comes to an end amidst this lush garden, blooms of every flower imaginable skirting the path. The vegetation here is oddly vibrant year round, as if bolstered by some subtle vein of life energy itself. You also see Gardener Eaadrich and a large vela'tohr plant.

A fuzzy black and orange caterpillar wiggles its way into view at its own lethargic pace, stopping to closely observe and scale over anything that rudely obstructs its path.
The tendrils of the vela'tohr plant twitch in agitation as the caterpillar munches on one of the dark-green leaves it is perched upon.
A dark-green leaf of the vela'tohr plant suddenly begins to shake angrily.

The caterpillar is flung to the ground by the violent tremor!

>Your concentration slips for a moment, and your spell is lost.

I am struggling to learn...so easily distracted...so that one day I can travel south and help heal the hurt that this war has caused.

~WHYT
