A Second Gift

Plot Summary

The group are still at the inn by next morning. They leave to find the next Gift to the east. As they travel they discover that the ancient map places a large lake to the north of Gift area, but the new map, and their eyes, have a series of mountains there. They arrive in the rough area of the Gifts. They begin hunting around when a clump of ground collapses, taking one of the group with it. The rest dive in after. The hole leads to a large, perfectly carved, tunnel, one way leading towards the mountains, the other side had been blocked up. They decide that this must be the tunnel for the Gifts. They start along the tunnel. They travel for several miles, and are now under the mountains, before the dark tunnel starts to widen. They arrive at a small chamber, on an alter are the two Dwarven Gifts, a axe of solid stone, and a suit of perfect amour. There was still no sign of the guardian. Suddenly, the room starts quaking, a crack opens above them, a trickle of water begins pouring through. Half of the room is torn away just as the group back away. A giant beast of stone, no doubt the guardian, swings it's arms at them. The tunnel out has completely collapsed. Their only exit out is the water above him. If, however, the lake was above them, so, too, was the mountains, they would be trapped in hundreds of gallons of water. They begin hacking at the ceiling. Mihwen throws an acorn into the crack that had been created above them. Suddenly a grand tree grows and splits the ceiling in two. Gallons of icy water thunder down on top of them. Everyone begins swimming upwards, after a Dwarf grabbed the Gifts. Shandor casts a series of spells which allow the group to communicate telepathically, breath water for a short time and makes all clothing light enough for swimming. They get to the top of the lake, to find a small pocket of air between the water and solid rock. They cast another spell which manages to brake through the rock and reach the outside. They dive out and begin sliding down a slope to the fresh grass far below. They walk back to the town in silent joy. They enter the same inn that they had left a few hours earlier. They sit down and talk for a short while before drifting off to sleep.

 

Full Log

Part I

Narrator: The group assemble at the entrance of the inn. Some still look sorrowful. They prepare to find the next set of Gifts

Shandor says, 'Gather what ever food you need. According to the map the gifts are a few miles east.'

Karron says, 'They are? Where about are they again?'

Shandor grabs Basserix and sheaths it

Mihwen looks like she didn’t get any sleep at all for one week

Shandor says, 'I am not sure as to the exact location, but they are in this mountainous region,' points to a spot on the map.

Karron says, 'There's nothing east but mines.'

Shandor says, 'Ancient maps don't lie. Unless one is telling you to find gold in Bal Fell, don't buy that map, trust me.'

Karron says, 'Nay one lives there.'

Shandor smiles a half-smile attempting to bring humour to the group

Shandor rolls his eyes, 'Karron that is the point, you can't stumble across something that isn't near you.'

Karron says, 'Nor have they for hundreds o' years, they say a stone is alive there.'

Shandor says, 'Karron, have you introduced yourself to the others of our group.'

Karron says, 'Karron Silveraxe, keep meself to meself.'

Mihwen nods 'we met again'

Dramicus says, hello Karron, my name is Dramicus

Karron says, 'Not for the last time, I hope, Elf.'

Shandor says, 'Now let us go forth.'

Shandor goes to the door and peers out, the weather has finally decided to favour them

Mihwen looks even worse in the shining sun

Shandor looks at the static group, 'Shall we move?'

Karron stands and walks out silently

Shandor pats Mihwen on the back, 'Don't worry, we'll find Lesharn, one day.'

Mihwen mumbles 'I know'

Shandor begins up a dusty path.

Narrator: the path leads to the outskirts of the town where it promptly becomes rocky grassland.

Karron says, 'You wish to cross the mountains?

Shandor shakes his head, 'No need Karron.'

Shandor says, 'According to this they are that way.' He points out in front of himself

Dramicus says, Shandor, it seems too easy just to walk in and get the gifts, is there anything you aren't telling us about

Karron says, 'They say it lives there

Shandor turns to the merman, 'I do not know the guardian of this place, but we shall defeat it.'

Karron says, 'In the mines, a creature of stone.'

Shandor says doubtingly, 'Really?'

Shandor continues on his way, 'What ever it is we shall defeat it, for Lesharn!'

Karron says, 'They say that's why nay more mine there.'

Shandor looks back on the four. The grand group that had left Tildruin had been whittled away to this.

Karron inspects his knives.

Dramicus turns to Karron, is there anything else you can tell us about this stone beast?

Karron says, 'Nay, Nayone has ever survived to look at it

Karron seems to be indifferent on the subject.

Shandor says, 'Dramicus, there is no definite proof that a 'stone beast' is guarding the Gifts. If it were, why would it leave the confines of the Gift chamber?'

Karron says, 'I ne'er been there, I'm nay one for mines.'

Mihwen says 'Shandor got a point there'

Shandor takes out the map and begins examining it.

Shandor proceeds to take out a newer map and compare them.

Dramicus says, well we won't find out unless we go there

Karron keeps slipping into and out of shadows.

Shandor says, 'This is odd, according to the old map there was a body of water near the new mines, but on the new map it isn't there, instead is a series of mountains.'

Mihwen says 'how old is the old map?'

Shandor says, 'I do not know, but I've never seen mountains created.'

Mihwen says 'once I heard about a powerful magician who created a mountain to live on'

Shandor says, 'Karron, good news, the Gifts are those of the dwarfs, an axe and suit of armour made of stone built to perfection, I'm sure Darnum Stonecleave would be pleased.'

Shandor says, 'I suppose the Nanjarii could do such a thing.'

Karron says, 'Mountains aren't created, only destroyed

Shandor says, 'I wonder what could have happened to the water.'

Karron says, 'Our stone giant, drunk it all and turned into slurry

Shandor chuckles.

Shandor says, continuing looking at the maps, 'An Elven kingdom is on the boarders of AngleRia, perhaps we will visit there next.'

Mihwen nods slowly

Shandor says to Karron, 'Where is your brother, Kamrock?'

Karron says, 'Kamrock is resting, I thought he'd need it.'

Shandor says, 'How did you get here so fast anyway?'

Karron says, 'I sailed from emerald bay where you left me, as soon as news of the Serpents death reached the other shore the ships started sailing at once

Shandor nods.

Shandor says, 'It seems we will be trekking for a while more, a chance for us to get to know each other. For example, Dramicus, where is your homeland?'

Mihwen tries to smile 'the little worm'

Karron scans around.

Shandor smiles a half-smile, 'Yes Mihwen, if anything we taught it some manners, it won't be picking on innocent ships again.'

Karron says, 'Excuse me, people.'

Karron disappears, and returns with a rabbit in his hands.

Shandor raises an eye brow but says nothing.

Shandor says, 'So Mihwen, were you born in the A'lure woods?'

Dramicus says, Well my village was around miles east of the graveyard that we were in yesterday, but my homeland was by the shore west of the Elven village you were talking about

Shandor nods at Dramicus, 'Interesting, perhaps we can visit it while at the Elven kingdom.'

Karron kills the rabbit and starts to eat it.

Mihwen looks at Shandor 'yes I was born in a trading caravan'

Shandor says, 'Ah, I've met a few in my time.'

Shandor seems distracted in a memory.

Karron says, 'Perhaps, we've got to get there first.'

Dramicus replies to Shandor, well, it will be in ruins, it was long abandoned..

Shandor nods, 'Was it attacked?'

Dramicus says, no it was near underwater steam vents and underwater volcanoes, there was an explosion of fire and we were forced to relocate.

Mihwen says 'mother nature is powerful'

Shandor agrees, 'And she always seems to hate the travellers.'

Shandor looks back at the map, 'Who ever put these Gifts in the world must have had a fetish for sub-terrain dwellings.'

Mihwen says 'so, how far away are we'

Shandor says, 'About ten more minutes travel, that's to the area, we have yet to pin point it's location.'

Karron says, 'Does the map show the exact position?'

Shandor says, 'Not exactly, it gives an area of about one hundred metres squared.'

Mihwen says 'it's so old, and the land changes with the time'

Shandor says, 'it may be necessary to split up, hopefully not though.'

Karron says, 'And we are going down into the ground?'

Shandor says, 'I am not sure, but with these mountains so close it could be a cave.

Dramicus says, well if we find the right cave, we will probably get lost underground

Karron says, 'I can see underground

Karron says, 'It's the darkest darkness you can ever imagine, though.'

Shandor stops suddenly, 'Okay, we are now in the area indicated by the map. It is just a matter of finding the entrance.'

Shandor begins walking in a random direction.

Karron keeps scanning the ground.

Mihwen looks around

Shandor steps on an area of ground. There is a loud creak as the ground he was standing on collapses.

Karron jumps into the hole following Shandor.

Shandor coughs on the dust while looking around.

Dramicus dives into the hole after Karron

Shandor says, 'This definitely isn't a mining tunnel.'

Karron slips into a shadow.

Mihwen follows

Narrator: The corridor into which they fell into is built perfectly and stretches on as far as the eye can see.

Shandor says, 'I think it's fair to assume we have arrived in the Gift's tunnel.'

Mihwen says 'okay which direction?'

Shandor looks around, 'Well, this side of the tunnel has caved in, so I guess we can only go that way.'

Shandor clambers to his feet and starts moving down the dark tunnel.

Karron slides into a shadow.

Dramicus runs after the group

Shandor says, 'Someone may need to light a torch, Dramicus, can merfolk see well in the dark? Elves and Dwarves have quite good night-vision.'

Dramicus says, not really

Shandor says to Dramicus, 'Then you may wish to light a torch.'

Dramicus replies, we do have good hearing though, I will just follow the noise of your walking

Shandor nods at Dramicus, 'Very well’

Mihwen says 'try not to fall'

Shandor lands face down on the ground, 'A wee bit late for that Mihwen.'

Shandor grins a little before getting back up

Shandor says, 'Let us continue, unsheathe your weapons and keep an eye, or ear, out for signs of danger.'

Dramicus pulls out his spear

Karron slips a knife from his belt and examines a wall, 'Looks like Dwarven nails, not tools made these.'

Shandor says, 'Judging on the direction of the tunnel we are heading closer to those mountains.

Shandor says, 'Karron, I doubt a Dwarf could make this tunnel considering it is here for the Guardian's use.'

Karron says, 'They are nay tool marks, they are claw marks

Mihwen says 'maybe it was made before they put the guardian here'

Karron says, 'Maybe, but maybe not?'

Shandor says, 'Perhaps, still if the dwarves knew it was here they would not have abandoned it.'

Karron says, 'What if they had reason too?'

Mihwen says 'or it was meant to be left alone'

Shandor says, 'A Dwarf's greed can never be stopped, if they had known about the Gifts here.'

Shandor says, 'I hope this tunnel actually leads somewhere, we have been following it for quite a while.'

Shandor says, 'By now we must be deep under those mountains.'

Karron growls and disappears into the shadows, bounding off silently.

Dytalorien appears out of nowhere...and nods to the group.

Dramicus says, how did you get here so fast?

Shandor is not surprised, ' Dytalorien, friend, I was wondering when you would get here.'

Mihwen says 'elves are fast'

Dytalorien replies, "Aye I was held up for a bit, I raced here as fast as I could."

Shandor says, 'It is good to have you here.'

Dytalorien pants and continues, "You're not easy to track..."

Shandor says, 'I should hope not, anything could try and follow us.'

Dytalorien replies, "Glad to hear it, shall we continue then."

Shandor says, 'We shall.'

Shandor resumes walking along the tunnel.

Dytalorien joins the rest of the group and follows along.

Dytalorien scratches his head, "Umm...exactly how long is this tunnel?"

Shandor says, 'We have no idea, we must be deep under the mountains though.'

Dytalorien nods and you witness a subtle movement of his hand but nothing happens...

Dramicus says, shhhh I think I hear something

Mihwen says 'how long have we walked so far?'

Dytalorien listens more intently.

Shandor says, 'At least four miles.'

Dramicus falls over as a bat flies past his head

Dytalorien mumbles as they screech shrilly..

Dramicus says, wow I am glad it was nothing more than a bat

Shandor nods

Shandor says, 'If this tunnel goes on much further we will need to eat all of our food reserves.'

Dytalorien blinks and continues in a monotonous pace.

Dytalorien grins, "We could always roast a few rats or bats...Though I'd prefer not to."

Narrator: The tunnel beings to widen

Shandor says, 'This could look hopeful.

Dramicus says, or it could get ugly...

Shandor says, 'I think I see something in the distance.'

Shandor begins jogging forward.

Dytalorien gazes in the same direction as Shandor.

Dytalorien cautiously moves forward.

Dramicus runs in front of Shandor

Dytalorien yells, "Mayhap you should be a bit more careful!"

Shandor says, ' Dramicus, get back.'

Shandor says, 'Does the word 'Traps' mean anything to you?'

Dramicus stops suddenly

Shandor moves past the merman. 'Let a thief go first.'

Shandor continues along, leading.

Dytalorien blinks at Shandor, "I thought ye was a mage?"

Mihwen looks at Shandor

Shandor says, 'Cannot one be both?'

Dramicus mumbles something

Shandor smiles mysteriously.

Dytalorien replies, "Doubtful as each trade one require full focus of an individual."

Shandor says, 'Where do you think I got this golden gauntlet. Through honesty? Not likely.'

Dytalorien waves his hand dismissively, "Aye, as you wish it."

Shandor 's eyes widen, 'There! An alter, with the Gifts.'

Shandor moves a quickly as is safe to the alter.

Dytalorien scans the area warily...

Dramicus says, and no beast in sight!

Shandor says, 'We can't touch them, where did Karron go?'

Mihwen slows down a little

Dytalorien makes a deft movement with his hand, and a long curved sabre is in his grasp.

Shandor says, ' Dramicus, that is odd. I would have thought a Guardian would, well, guard.'

Dytalorien shouts, "Arm yourselves, I doubt any of these gifts are unguarded."

Narrator: Suddenly the room and tunnel begins shaking.

Dytalorien grabs a nearby tunnel wall for balance...

Shandor yells, 'Take defensive positions!'

Mihwen pulls a knife

Dytalorien yells, "Defence from what?! I can't see the threat!"

Shandor ducks closer to the ground

Dytalorien mutters and continues to struggle for balance as the violent shaking continues.

Shandor is hit by a small trickle of water.

Dramicus falls over

Dytalorien blinks.

Shandor looks up, a small crack has formed above the room.

Mihwen says 'we better run!'

Shandor says, 'No, wait.'

Dramicus says, what about the gifts?

Shandor says, 'Where is Karron?!'

Dytalorien exclaims, "Whatever we're going to do, hurry!"

Shandor says, 'That crack isn't widening, just stay still.'

Dytalorien grins, "That's easier said then done, with all this shaking."

Shandor looks at the walls of the room. 'This text, some of it is in ancient Elven, some of it isn't.'

Dytalorien yells, "Well what does the elven say?"

Shandor says, 'To hide the....the sentence seems to be in several languages.'

Dytalorien mutters about texts.

Shandor continues, 'hide the..........Must........Send.'

Shandor says, 'I have no idea.'

Shandor says, 'Where is Karron?!'

Dramicus says, do you have any idea what the other languages are?

Shandor shakes his head.

Karron slides into view with his hands full of stones.

Shandor says, 'Grab those Gifts, now!'

Karron drops the stone and reaches for the gifts.

Dytalorien yells, "Now let's hurry and vacate!"

Karron hastily throws the armour on and wields the axe.

Shandor tries to read the rest, 'Guardian........To..........Place.'

Narrator: As they try to move an earthquake begins above and around them.

Dytalorien furrows his brows at the word 'Guardian'.

Narrator: The tunnel out disappears in dust and rubble.

Karron says, 'What?'

Dytalorien rushes to the now gone exit and curse loudly.

Dramicus says, great....

Shandor looks around and yells, 'Quickly get to the other side of the room!'

Karron scans around in the darkness.

Shandor backs away from the tunnel

Mihwen runs

Karron flees

Dytalorien moves swiftly to the other side of the room.

Dramicus moves to the other side of the room

Narrator: Something large tears half of the room out leaving a large crater.

Dytalorien gasps at the sight before him.

Narrator: Above them is another chamber, a giant beast is above them.

Dytalorien grunts, "It looks happy..."

Karron jumps, pulling off some spectacular moves, and landing back on his feet.'

Narrator: a giant arm of stone pounds down at them.

Shandor leaps backwards.

Karron pounces on the arm, striking it with the axe.

Dytalorien is knocked to the floor with the force of the blow.

Mihwen say 'let's get out of here.. how shall we fight stone?'

Shandor yells, 'There is no 'out'.'

Karron says, 'I can cut this thing down shard by shard if I must.

Shandor is still being hit by the trickle of water.

Dramicus shouts, Try using a water spell Shandor!

Dytalorien struggles to free himself but his strength is too diminished to accomplish the feat.

Shandor says, 'Water weathers stone. If the lake is above us, we can try destroying it.'

Shandor says, 'Everyone start hitting the crack above us.'

Dytalorien screams and exerts all his strength, managing to slip away.

Shandor takes out Basserix and hacks at the ceiling.

Karron strikes the crack.

Dytalorien asks, "If it's a lake up there, wouldn't we get flooded?"

Narrator: The crack widens letting more and more water out. The stone beast looks as the water begins forcefully hitting into it.

Shandor says, 'Quite possibly.'

Mihwen says' decide now, you want the crack to open or not?'

Karron keeps hacking at the ceiling, not hearing anything through the rush of water.

Dytalorien grins, "What a choice, stone or water..."

Shandor says, 'Be crushed by a stone beast or drown, so many great options

Shandor says, 'We could try swimming to the top, there might be a cave, or perhaps I can create one with magic?'

Mihwen runs up to the crack and places an acorn in it'

Dytalorien looks to Mihwen, questioningly.

Narrator: the room has filled halfway up with icy cold water.

Dramicus says, well, I could try to save someone, I can breath underwater, but I could never save everyone

Mihwen on seconds a big tree starts to grow

Mihwen widening the crack

Shandor yells, 'Okay everyone take deep breaths.'

Narrator: The ceiling gives way and hundreds of gallons of water rush in.

Karron stops hacking as he realizes what's the other side of the crack.

Dytalorien mutters and fills his lungs with as much air as possible.

Shandor yells, 'GO NOW!'

Shandor begins swimming upward

Dytalorien swims toward the surface...

Karron seems to float upward.

Mihwen swims for her life

Shandor continues swimming while trying to chant with signs. Suddenly magic rushes from him and goes to everyone, he telepathically says to everyone, 'These spells will allow us to talk, make our armour lighter than air and allow us to breath under water.'

Dytalorien breaches the surface and gulps in a lungful of air.

Dramicus notices Mihwen needs help getting to the surface

Narrator: The surface is just a small bubble of air, above them is solid rock.

Dytalorien hits his head on the roof and mutters...

Dramicus swims down to help Mihwen get to the surface

Dytalorien yells, "I thought this was a lake!"

Karron keeps floating upward.

Shandor yells back, 'A lake under a mountain!'

Dytalorien curse, "Lady luck must be in a joking mood today..."

Shandor yells, 'Everyone back away, this is very dangerous.'

Dramicus grabs Mihwen and swims up

Shandor says, 'I'm going to try sending a shockwave from myself, in all directions, into the mountain wall, hopefully it will break through to the other side.'

Shandor says, 'I advise you duck under water.'

Dytalorien plunges downward away from the roof.

Shandor begins chanting.

Mihwen holds her breath

Karron is still floating slowly up, still without taking a breath.

Dramicus goes back under water

Shandor begins to glow and suddenly an explosion sounds and a section of water completely disappears. A channelled beam of energy fires from his body and it thunders into the side of the cave.

Dytalorien slices the water at invisible enemies in frustration of the situation...

Narrator: The beam explodes through the other side of the mountain into the open air.

Narrator: The beam stops.

Dytalorien rushes to the opening as water pours outward.

Shandor meekly shouts, 'Lets get out of here!'

Mihwen swims to the opening but it isn’t easy to swim in a dress

Dytalorien halts suddenly and ponders of how far up on the mountain they are...

Shandor swims out to find himself rolling and sliding down a steep mountain.

Karron breaks the surface and races to escape.

Dytalorien sighs and continues forward, as there is nowhere else to go.

Shandor is being cut, bruised and battered as he continues rolling down the mountain

Dramicus climbs out of the hole and follows the group

Mihwen looks over Shandor 'nothing really bad, we can fix you later'

Dytalorien leaps away from the side of the mountain as he reaches the opening, avoiding rolling down...

Karron slips and follows Shandor down the mountain.

Dytalorien ponders his new fate as he freefalls to the ground at great speeds...

Mihwen looks around 'everyone safe?'

Shandor says sarcastically, 'Oh yes, I'm just fine.'

Dytalorien slams into the ground, with a sickening THUD!!

Shandor gets to his feet.

Karron stands, 'Aye, stone is lovely armour.'

Dramicus says, ummm I don't think Dytalorien is alright

Dytalorien wheezes as he struggles to his feet...blood trickling from his mouth...

Mihwen runs to Dytalorien 'lay down'

Dytalorien dusts himself off, "I'll be alright..."

Shandor says, 'We should head back to town.'

Mihwen puts her hands over Dytalorien and concentrates

Dytalorien waves Mihwen off, and mumbles a few strange verse...

Mihwen says 'internal bleedings'

Dytalorien says to Mihwen, "I'll be fine.."

Shandor begins walking towards town.

Shandor muses, 'I wonder was the beast destroyed?'

Mihwen say 'stay still!'

Dramicus says, what way is town?

Dytalorien pushes Mihwen out of the way, and continues forward.

Dytalorien yells back, "I said..I'll be fine!"

Shandor smiles, 'Now, now children, no fighting.'

Shandor continues on his way to town.

Karron pulls a number of stones from his pocket.

Dytalorien gazes forward and continues on blithely..

Dytalorien says in elvish, "Yer ears need tuning, my friend."

Dytalorien wipes away the blood at the sides of his mouth.

Shandor ignores the comments and continues, gingerly, towards town.

Dytalorien shrugs and continues forward, wincing noticeably..

Shandor says, 'I'm not sure saving the world is worth all of this.'

Karron holds a few stones to the light, 'GOLD!'

Mihwen follows

Shandor arrives at town.

Shandor enters the inn.

Karron looks around, 'not sure that you want to save the beautiful forests and grasslands?'

Dytalorien reaches the town behind Shandor, one hand grabbing his ribs.

Shandor looks about, the inn is still empty.

Shandor he sits down on a chair

Karron wanders into the Inn.

Dramicus says, Karron why do you keep all the worthless stones you found?

Dytalorien stumbles into the inn, and plops down on a nearby stool.

Shandor says, 'Who is up for some cooking?'

Karron says, 'Worthless?'

Karron says, 'I gathered these at the gold seam, this is gold.'

Dytalorien grins at Dramicus, "Not good to call stones worthless in front of a dwarf."

Dramicus says, thanks for the advice

Shandor says, 'I don't know about the rest of you but I would like to sleep.'

Dramicus answers, good idea

Dytalorien mumbles and scratches his head.

Shandor stand up and walks to the fireplace, 'Dothi-plino' the fireplace lights with a bright blue flame.

Mihwen walk up the stairs 'just going to get some new clothes'

Kamrock enters the Inn, and looks around.

Dramicus asks Shandor, how far away is that elven city on the map?

Karron whispers with Kamrock, and passes him a few stones.

Shandor says, 'A day or so travel on horse.'

Dramicus replies, but we don't have any horses

Shandor says, 'We can....'acquire' some.'

Dytalorien coughs and grimaces.

Karron leaves with Kamrock.

Shandor says, 'Mihwen, feel up to cooking?'

Mihwen says 'okay but don’t expect a feast, not feeling so good'

Shandor says, 'If you don't want to you don't have to, I could cook.'

Mihwen smiles 'and kill the rest of us? I don’t think so'

Mihwen goes out in the kitchen

Dytalorien replies to Mihwen, "Don't think any of us are..."

Shandor grins

Dramicus smiles weakly

Mihwen looks at Dytalorien and says in elvish 'people should not speak about things they don’t know'

Mihwen walks out in the kitchen

Dytalorien mumbles about grumpy people.

Dytalorien waves a hand dismissively and settles down comfortably on his stool.

Shandor says, 'We all have to get along while on this trip so lets hear less bickering.'

Dramicus says, well I am not hungry

Dytalorien replies, "Tell that to the cook."

Shandor says, 'Now, now Dytalorien

Dytalorien shrugs and frowns in distaste.

Shandor says, 'So Dytalorienn, tell me, where were you born?'

Mihwen comes out of the kitchen with some ham, cheese, appels and bread

Shandor says, 'I find myself asking everyone that today.'

Dytalorien says to Shandor, "I'd not like to disclose that."

Shandor says, 'It looks fit for a king, Mihwen, thank you. And I see you brought some apples.'

Shandor smiles

Dramicus grabs an apple and takes a bite out of it

Shandor says to Dytalorien, 'Care to tell us anything about yourself?'

Mihwen smiles at Dytalorien 'enjoy the meal'

Dytalorien shrugs and says, "You can tell yourself about me...I'd not to force my self-image on you."

Shandor takes out one of his three golden daggers and slices the bread into slices. He takes one slice of bread and puts a few slices of ham and cheese on it.

Dytalorien eyes Mihwen appraisingly, and nods.

Shandor takes a bite out of his food.

Shandor says, 'Very well Dytalorien, if you refuse to tell us anything, shall we hear something Mihwen, or Dramicus.'

Mihwen asks 'hear what?'

Dramicus says, I am going to sleep

Shandor answers, 'Something about yourself, your past, anything really.'

Shandor nods

Dramicus walks upstairs

Mihwen says 'good night'

Dytalorien moves out of sight.

Mihwen walks up to her room

Shandor puts out the fire with another spell and goes up to bed.
