Awatu nods at you.
Qabian nods.
Lupinum claps for Feyde, clearly unimpressed.
[Feyde]: There is Alliance in the area...
[Nathandiel]: Bah! Who needs portals. Not us.
Lupinum blinks at Feyde.
Nathandiel lets his dog out.
[Feyde]: Below us... Looks like a meeting
[Feyde]: Just you know. Giving you all the heads up
[Nathandiel]: Should we kill them?
Lupinum check on his poor pupper.
Lupinum claps excitedly for Eepah.
Lupinum pets Drinn.
[Nathandiel]: I hope the new guy is hot
Nathandiel loves Drinn.
[Feyde]: New guy?
[Nathandiel]: There's a new guy
[Nathandiel]: Apparently, can't cook.
Lupinum sighs at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: Thus...must be pretty.
[Lupinum]: More Elves. ...hic!
Lupinum laments.
Nathandiel caresses his ears.
You roll your eyes.
Lupinum looks at Zalanjo and groans.
Nathandiel pats down his hair. "Should I get a new look?"
[Zalanjo]: Ya puppy dere not be lookin' too good deady.
Lupinum blinks at Zalanjo.
Nathandiel gasps at you.
Lupinum pets Jenafur.
[Nathandiel]: We have the power of portals!
Nathandiel points at you.
[Nathandiel]: We could have used them....
[Canaie]: Where do you wish to go?
Nathandiel sets out appetizers.
Zalanjo sniffs the air around him.
Lupinum sets up a rickety keg,
[Zalanjo]: Why dat be smellin' funny?
Nathandiel blinks at Haneman.
Nathandiel reaches for Haneman's rear.
[Lupinum]: Oh thish one is pleasant. What a surprise.
Lupinum tells Zalanjo NO. Not going to happen.
[Zalanjo]: What? I can't be tryin' de brew?
[Lupinum]: Not until you apologize to my dog.
[Canaie]: It's green...
[Nathandiel]: Ah yes, excuse juice!
Nathandiel claps excitedly.
[Zalanjo]: I fixed 'im. He be lookin' all sick bein' round you all de time I bet.
[Zalanjo]: Now look. I didn't get ta try it.
[Lupinum]: Well he's undead! We tend to look disgusting!
Nathandiel pours himself a magical flask.
Lupinum waves his hand, "I'll get another keg soon. When more people show up."
Vellanoria greets everyone warmly.
[Feyde]: Oh you got me a snack. Thank you
Feyde peers at Illygolon searchingly.
Nathandiel looks down on the new kid.
[Zalanjo]: De puppy be fine. I give him de powda again lata.
Nathandiel grins wickedly at Haneman.
Feyde pouts at everyone around her.
[Nathandiel]: Drink, new kid!
Nathandiel points at the barrel of ale.
[Nathandiel]: Oh---where did it go!?
Lupinum narrows his eyes but says nothing.
[Canaie]: Somebody drank it all
[Zalanjo]: De deadmon drank it all. Not be wantin' ta share
[Nathandiel]: Good thing we all brought booze!
[Nathandiel]: amirite!?
[Nathandiel]: I can FEEL music
Lupinum pours himself a few quick glasses.
Nathandiel dances with Eepah.
Zalanjo kneels down.
Zalanjo kneels down.
Lupinum peers at Zalanjo searchingly.
[Zalanjo]: Ay dere little one.
[Zalanjo]: Ya want de powda again?
[Zalanjo]: I bet ya do!
Zalanjo gently pats Eepah.
[Zalanjo]: Shhh.
[Zalanjo]: It be okay.
Lupinum looks at Zalanjo and covers his face with his palm.
[Zalanjo]: Much betta!
[Lupinum]: You are the true evil in the world, Troll. ...hic!
Nathandiel checks his pocketwatch.
[Nathandiel]: ITS TIME ...hic!
[Zalanjo]: Nonsense. I fixed it.
Lupinum packs up his poor shrunken dog.
Lupinum shoos Zalanjo away. Be gone pest!
[Awatu]: I believe this is all we will be getting this evening.
[Nathandiel]: An army!
Vellanoria pets Jenafur.
Lupinum looks around for a moment.
[Awatu]: As everyone here likely is already aware, this marks our 15th anniversary since the founding of The Mandate.
Lupinum cheers!
Zalanjo claps excitedly.
[Awatu]: As such, I planned for this evening to be one of rememberance and respite. We will hear old tales from our past and reflect on how those might shape our future in the coming seasons.
Nathandiel bows his head.
[Awatu]: I will say that I am pleased to see us ever persistent in pushing Horde supremacy, and that we outlast those who seek our downfall. It marks another failure on their parts.
Nathandiel cheers at Awatu!
[Awatu]: As such, I will open the floor now for the first one who has a story to share this evening. It may be your greatest or fondest memory with The Grim, or another memorable moment from our past.
Lupinum points at Canaie.
Nathandiel looks at Canaie.
Zalanjo looks at Lupinum.
Zalanjo ribs Lupi in the side.
Awatu looks at Lupinum.
[Zalanjo]: Say someting'
[Vellanoria]: did someone volunteer to go first?
Nathandiel points at Canaie.
[Awatu]: I believe Brother Lupinum has been conscripted.
Nathandiel re-stashes his cue cards.
Vellanoria peers at Lupinum searchingly.
[Lupinum]: I heard Canaie say something.
Canaie eyes Lupinum up and down.
Feyde cheers at Lupinum!
[Lupinum]: You have to listen hard, shhe's softspoken.
Awatu eyes Lupinum up and down.
[Nathandiel]: Waiting for Canaie to speak has always been a favourite memory of mine.
Lupinum drinks to buy time.
Vellanoria begins hastily scribbling a speech
[Feyde]: I believe in your Lupinum!
Zalanjo reaches over to knock the mug out of his hand.
[Nathandiel]: Oh Lupinum, just go!
[Lupinum]: There wash a time that Leyu'jin, myself and a few othersh utterly destroyed Goldshire, of course.
[Lupinum]: Your turn ...hic!
Nathandiel eats an old, stale [Candy Cane]
Lupinum points at Zalanjo.
[Zalanjo]: Dat's it?
[Nathandiel]: That's alL!?
[Nathandiel]: Thats no story!
[Lupinum]: There was another time I fell off my bat and crashed onto Taz's shhip.
Nathandiel lifts up Lupinum's matted hair.
[Zalanjo]: Not be havin' much brain left in dat skull of yas?
[Nathandiel]: Of course...your brains are falling out.
[Nathandiel]: Bah! Perhaps next in the circle...
Nathandiel blinks at Zalanjo.
Lupinum cackles maniacally at the situation.
[Zalanjo]: I guess I be goin' den.
[Zalanjo]: I haven' been wit de Grim long. But de best memory I got be de scalp hunt.
Zalanjo looks at Feyde.
[Zalanjo]: Ya be a fierce competator dere elf.
Nathandiel cheers at Zalanjo!
[Zalanjo]: Ya made de hunt fun.
[Zalanjo]: It be close dat one.
[Haneman]: G'day ya'll. I may not have a story of the past to share with you, but I hope to make new ones with you that we can speak about in the years to come.
[Zalanjo]: Course bein' an elf ya lost doh.
Zalanjo laughs.
[Zalanjo]: Dat be it fo' now
Awatu nods at Zalanjo.
[Nathandiel]: Seriously?
[Haneman]: I want to thank ya'll for inviting me to join you and for doing so when the stars aligned on such a memorable day, such as today.
[Nathandiel]: Have we no story tellers amongst us!?
[Nathandiel]: The new kid has more to say than these two.
[Vellanoria]: give me a moment, i have a story
Awatu grins.
Haneman eyes Nathandiel up and down.
[Nathandiel]: I have one also.
[Nathandiel]: AT LEAST ONE.
[Zalanjo]: Jus one?
[Zalanjo]: Surely ya talk a big game.
[Zalanjo]: Betta be good.
[Nathandiel]: Well...not all are fit for the company of women....
Nathandiel winks slyly at Vellanoria.
[Nathandiel]: You all know how I got here. How I found the mandate. Through the coaxing of a beautiful woman....
Nathandiel begins his tale.
[Nathandiel]: She was lithe and slender, built like a doe! But ruthless like a spined plant that lures you with beautiful flowers and bleeds you with thorns!
[Nathandiel]: She found me on the waters of the lake behind the dead city. She found me fishing for awful creatures...and she simply walked up to me, appearing from the shadows...little else than a smirk on her face.
Lupinum looks over at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: You know who I'm talking about. The Hand...of a time long past. Of Drinn Sel'Quar.
[Nathandiel]: A comrade to many of you, I know.
Nathandiel looks around the circle.
Nathandiel glares at Lupinum. "She taught you to fight!"
[Nathandiel]: And you had no story of her...
Lupinum nods at Nathandiel.
[Lupinum]: I have many stories about Drinn. She yelled at me... oh every time we fought.
[Nathandiel]: Drinn LOVED the mandate. She held it as clsoe to her heart as she did the lessons of her husband...atticus.
Lupinum cackles maniacally at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: The undead corpse she married under the dead tower.
[Nathandiel]: Drinn and I were in love. That is no secret. But I think her love of the mandate, of The Grim, of ALL OF YOU, was greater than even her love of me, of Atticus, of her own skin.
[Nathandiel]: Her love and her ruthlessness are my greatest memory of the Grim. And when I fight, I think of how she would want me to fight. For peace. For annihilation.
[Nathandiel]: And I miss her...
Nathandiel pats his fox.
Nathandiel geatures to Vellanoria. "Your turn."
Nathandiel wipes his eyes.
[Vellanoria]: T'was the tale of a Horde General, a Forsaken drudge named Duranor
[Vellanoria]: Through life and undeath, always traveling with his once unseperable, insufferable companion Gavril
[Vellanoria]: The General and Gavril had a rough time finding proper allies...
[Vellanoria]: they once served a sickly guild called <Infection>
Awatu snorts in amusement.
[Vellanoria]: I once heard that the General, over the course of 3 months killed over 50,000 alliance wretches in Alterac Valley, using his powers of undeath to rise again and again
[Vellanoria]: Dissatisfied with the progression of the sickly phillistines, he sought out an alliance, and was introduced to The Grim within the molten core
[Vellanoria]: His fate became sealed when The Grim allowed him to take possession of the Bindings of the Windseeker, the very vessel of Thunderaan's wrath
[Vellanoria]: With the Oath of Thunder and Fury, the General signed undying fealty to The Grim at the dawn of the Burning Crusade
[Vellanoria]: It was this general and his companion that saved me from the destruction of the sunwell, and that gave me the very book that allowed me dabble in the demonic arts
[Vellanoria]: His story is sealed in the Mandate, as mine barely began.
[Vellanoria]: Peace Through Annihilation!
Awatu nods at Vellanoria.
Vellanoria bows down graciously.
Lupinum seems to be staring into the wood grain with a smirk on his face.
Nathandiel loves Drinn.
[Awatu]: It is always good to hear of The General's exploits before my own time.
[Feyde]: I hope I can add such grand tales to the Grim in time.
[Nathandiel]: Ther ewas a time before YOU?
Awatu nods at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: Was it the bald guy?
Feyde peers at Erscydiol searchingly.
Erscydiol gasps at Feyde.
[Awatu]: Abric, yes.
Erscydiol pokes Feyde. Hey!
[Nathandiel]: The one with no sense of humour?
[Nathandiel]: Yeah I heard stories about him....
Lupinum cackles maniacally at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: ...not that YOU have a sense of humour.
[Nathandiel]: You aren't bald though.
Nathandiel winks slyly at Awatu.
Feyde smiles at Erscydiol.
Erscydiol grins wickedly at Feyde.
[Qabian]: Abric at least thought he was funny. But no one laughed.
[Awatu]: True, though I like to imagine I have more humor than him.
[Lupinum]: He is indeen very furry, Nath.
Canaie hails Erscydiol.
[Nathandiel]: Emmons.
Lupinum nods at Erscydiol.
[Nathandiel]: Emmons was funny.
Erscydiol hails Awatu.
[Nathandiel]: So many good men and women lost or dead!
[Erscydiol]: Well well well!
Nathandiel weeps.
[Erscydiol]: Look at this lot!
[Lupinum]: Inzema... Atticus, as you said.
[Nathandiel]: If we had a graveyard it woudl span an ocean!
[Lupinum]: Lazy deaders, just need to be dug up!
[Feyde]: I thought you were dead somewhere. Oh...
[Vellanoria]: it would be the most Grim Graveyard ever imagined
[Nathandiel]: That weirdo, Cotter Whats-his-face.
[Nathandiel]: And who the fel is this?
Nathandiel gasps at Erscydiol.
[Erscydiol]: Me?
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Awatu.
[Erscydiol]: Who the fel are you? Pointy ears?
[Nathandiel]: Hotter than Syreena....
[Nathandiel]: ME?
Lupinum chuckles at Erscydiol.
[Nathandiel]: I am Nathandiel the Great.
[Erscydiol]: You look, *delicious*
[Nathandiel]: Women love me.
[Lupinum]: "The Great."
Erscydiol licks her lips.
Nathandiel bows before Erscydiol.
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at the situation.
[Erscydiol]: mmm
[Nathandiel]: I'm here to help repopulate The Grim
[Erscydiol]: I bet they do, handsome
Nathandiel winks slyly at Vellanoria.
Erscydiol winks slyly at Nathandiel.
Canaie lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Zalanjo lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
You cover your face with your palm.
[Erscydiol]: You look good enough to eat!
[Zalanjo]: Elfs.
[Awatu]: You can flirt on your own time. You're on my time, now.
[Nathandiel]: You look...salty.
Erscydiol eyes Nathandiel up and down.
[Erscydiol]: like a salt lick!
[Erscydiol]: You don't know the half of it!
Nathandiel lowers his face to lick the woman.
[Haneman]: I prefer 'Drow,' personally.
Haneman looks at Zalanjo.
[Erscydiol]: Maybe you can help me swap ichor later
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Nathandiel.
[Erscydiol]: Yesss
[Erscydiol]: Am I salty enough!?
Nathandiel licks Erscydiol.
Lupinum shudders.
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: mmmm....a gets hints of moss, mocha....terra firma....
[Awatu]: Ahem.
[Nathandiel]: We should---
[Awatu]: Can it.
[Erscydiol]: Oof!
Vellanoria gasps at Awatu.
[Nathandiel]: Oh.
Nathandiel winks slyly at Erscydiol.
[Erscydiol]: Boss man says can it!
Erscydiol salutes Awatu with respect.
[Nathandiel]: Later baby, later.
Erscydiol nods at Awatu.
Awatu grunts.
Nathandiel salutes Awatu with respect.
[Canaie]: Is this what flirting looks like?
[Erscydiol]: *whispers* I'm more into women these days anyway
Nathandiel whispers back "Me too. Let's team up."
Erscydiol gives Nathandiel a high five!
Nathandiel smirks slyly at Erscydiol.
[Nathandiel]: Who has another story!?
Lupinum blinks at Canaie.
Awatu clears his throat. "Now then, for remembrance... Was there anyone that desired to share more words?"
[Feyde]: Oh Legion take us. *she says almost as a prayer to the star in the sky*
[Erscydiol]: Speaking of!
[Erscydiol]: My plus one is a bit green
[Erscydiol]: I'm going to go fetch her
[Nathandiel]: ...'her'?
[Erscydiol]: Yes!
Nathandiel rubs his hands together greedily.
[Erscydiol]: Back off!
[Erscydiol]: She's mine, elf!
[Erscydiol]: I bite!
Nathandiel winks slyly at Erscydiol.
[Feyde]: I have some. I think. Yeah why not.
[Nathandiel]: Sharing is caring.
You raise your eyebrow inquisitively at Feyde.
[Feyde]: So... Syreena might kill me for sharing but she is not here!
[Lupinum]: There was another time when we attacked Darnassus. That was fun.
Awatu nods at Feyde.
[Nathandiel]: SHARE
Feyde peers around as if checking for SURE
[Nathandiel]: I need dirt on that witch.
[Canaie]: As far as we know, yes she's not here.
[Zalanjo]: Can I have ya tings when she gets ya?
[Nathandiel]: She hasn't gotten me yet. She wants me...
[Feyde]: Back before I joined the Grim. Syreena wanted to have a little fun. We decided to fill a box of some of my demonic spiderlings.
Nathandiel looks at Feyde.
[Feyde]: We put it in a place where those Sancturay folks would find it. Things chased them around for fel knows how long!
Lupinum chuckles at Feyde.
Nathandiel laughs at Feyde.
[Lupinum]: I had forgotten about them.
Feyde breaks down into a fit of cackling
[Nathandiel]: What a stupid name for a guild.
[Lupinum]: They were misguided, Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: Weaklings.
Nathandiel gestures towards Feyde. "Scared of spiderlings even!"
Lupinum lifts a shoulder to shrug,.
[Feyde]: What else was there. I have fond memories of Lupinum and Khorvis dueling me in Stormhiem while on a hunt. Makes me wonder how long you were all grooming me to join before I did.
[Nathandiel]: That's how they get you.
Lupinum tilts his head and narrows his eyes, trying to remember.
[Awatu]: That implies Khorvis and Lupinum planned ahead.
[Lupinum]: Sometimes we do.
[Lupinum]: Rarely.
[Nathandiel]: Grooming, in general, is not a Lupinum thing.
[Zalanjo]: I didn' know the deadmon could fight. I only ever see him drink and wiggle his fingas.
[Awatu]: He was once the leader of our warbands against the Alliance.
[Nathandiel]: Khorviss....and his big, brown sack.
[Lupinum]: I had excellent teachers.
[Nathandiel]: Such good warriors have carried the banner.
[Feyde]: Lupinum was very good. I can't recall if I won or lost those duels... I mostly remember falling off the bloody statue and laughing when the others couldn't glide down.
[Awatu]: Leyu'jin was quite fond of you.
[Lupinum]: Khorvis has a problem with... landing.
Lupinum winks slyly at Feyde.
Feyde nods at Lupinum.
[Nathandiel]: What happened to Ley-on-me?
[Lupinum]: I miss that old Troll.
[Awatu]: I believe he had a debt to Bwomsamdi that required handling.
Lupinum grins to himself.
[Lupinum]: He and Khorvis would drag me through the Goblin arena.
[Nathandiel]: Hmm. I thought Lilypad might've eaten him. He was a good warrior too.
[Nathandiel]: Ha. 'drag'
[Nathandiel]: First Legion....
[Lupinum]: They do have a knack for almost getting me killed.
[Nathandiel]: You're already dead.
[Lupinum]: But... dead dead.
[Lupinum]: Capital dee.
[Zalanjo]: Supa dead?
[Nathandiel]: ..I hate dead dead.
Lupinum nods at Zalanjo.
Nathandiel weeps.
[Awatu]: Cristok was the first Hand.
[Hyller]: hi!
[Nathandiel]: I know!
Lupinum nods at Nathandiel.
[Erscydiol]: Well that works
Awatu nods at Hyller.
[Qabian]: Cristok was an idiot.
[Nathandiel]: He was a mighty swimmer.
[Erscydiol]: Thanks, Magister
Lupinum lets out a boisterous guffaw!
[Qabian]: Mm.
[Nathandiel]: And Nymare!
Nathandiel weeps more.
[Erscydiol]: Grim! This is my plus one, Hyller! Fresh out the Grave!
Qabian scowls behind his mask.
[Lupinum]: Fresh as a daisy.
Nathandiel wipes his eyes to get a look at the new girl.
Hyller waves at you.
[Lupinum]: Welcome.
[Zalanjo]: Least it not be anoda elf.
Nathandiel waves at Hyller.
[Erscydiol]: - ripped her out of a fresh grave not two weeks past!
[Erscydiol]: She's got spunk!
Lupinum feels it is a good time to crack open a new keg,
[Nathandiel]: And she's here to...remember?
[Erscydiol]: - and got me to pop out of my coffin and dust off the ol' bones!
[Awatu]: I imagine she will learn.
Lupinum tries to catch Zalanjo's eye.
Awatu nods at Hyller.
[Erscydiol]: She's here to see how you're all degenerates!
[Nathandiel]: Melchisidech!
[Erscydiol]: Oh wait ... that's me
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Hyller.
Hyller bows before you.
[Erscydiol]: My favorite book!
[Erscydiol]: but I've written better!
Zalanjo looks at Lupinum.
[Awatu]: I do not believe I ever met Mechisidech.
Lupinum tilts his head to indicate the fresh keg.
[Lupinum]: Since you said shorry.
[Zalanjo]: I did?
[Nathandiel]: He was cray-zay
[Lupinum]: Shut up and drink.
[Zalanjo]: Okie dokie.
[Erscydiol]: Did we ever repair the old Guild Hall?
[Nathandiel]: Had sweet digs in the Hillsbrad Foothills though.
[Erscydiol]: - the one that I burned down?
[Feyde]: The old one is covered in Blight still I believe
Lupinum stumbles as he turns around.
[Lupinum]: Did...
[Lupinum]: Did anyone think to grab Maldictush from hish grave?
[Erscydiol]: Hah! I certainly made my mark, then!
[Awatu]: His grave is unmarked and unknown.
[Feyde]: You two bastards drank it all before I could walk around. I will remember this!
[Nathandiel]: Why?
[Qabian]: We haven't bothered to do that any anniversary previous. Why would we start now
Lupinum narrows his eyes.
[Zalanjo]: Erreting be all fuzzy lookin'.
[Nathandiel]: Deathshadow...
[Zalanjo]: Be shure to rememba dat and shhare it next time Fey
Zalanjo laughs at Feyde.
[Lupinum]: It'sh just a hop, shkip and glide away, Felhuntress.
Erscydiol whispers to Hyller, "so this is Feyde, the Demon Hunter ... she is an expert at ambushing unsuspecting Alliance scum who cause trouble at the Zandalar docks"
[Nathandiel]: Cessily...
Nathandiel weeps
Lupinum spits on the ground.
Feyde scratches the back of her head. "Not as easy now that everyone figured out how to manage the winds in Zandalar and fly around now.
[Awatu]: If we are listing names, then our founder was indeed Maledictus.
[Erscydiol]: "Qabian is the uptight looking elf and Magister of the Grim; not much fun but we love to razz his berries"
You roll your eyes.
[Nathandiel]: I'm just so emotional all I can muster is names!
[Hyller]: Pleasure
[Lupinum]: Malhavik, my other other deader.
Nathandiel wipes his eyes. "Anaie"
Lupinum nods at Nathandiel.
[Awatu]: I am uncertain where he ended up.
[Awatu]: Perhaps he is still out there.
[Erscydiol]: "Awatu is the big boss man, and Canaie, the Lady of War is our front-line Healer; you want her beside you if shite hits the windmill"
Canaie smiles at Erscydiol.
[Nathandiel]: Izlude...
[Erscydiol]: "Vellanoria I don't recall much about, other than she always scoffs at my attempts at humor"
[Erscydiol]: EGADS!
Vellanoria scoffs at Erscydiol.
[Erscydiol]: Where is my favorite Goblin!!?
Lupinum peers at Jenafur searchingly.
[Nathandiel]: Ninorra...
Nathandiel is a mess.
[Erscydiol]: Where is Tweezle!?
[Qabian]: Ninorra was never Grim.
[Awatu]: Ninorra was, correct.
Lupinum smiles at you.
[Zalanjo]: Blown up I'm afraid.
Awatu nods at you.
[Nathandiel]: She's in the archives!
[Erscydiol]: What!?
[Qabian]: No.
Erscydiol gasps.
[Zalanjo]: Ya mon. Ya know how goblins be.
Lupinum raises his eyebrow inquisitively at Nathandiel.
[Lupinum]: I'm sure Kerala is in the archives, but she ish no Grim either.
[Feyde]: Tweezle is fine. Just out for the night I believe. Tinkering likely.
[Zalanjo]: Blown up!
Awatu nods at Lupinum.
[Nathandiel]: What about Skafloc?
[Nathandiel]: No?
[Awatu]: I don't believe so.
[Erscydiol]: Ah!
Nathandiel sniffles.
[Erscydiol]: Sounds about right
[Canaie]: I don’t really have a story but I have a memory of Abric, yelling at us during our fights against Gruul, the Dragon Killer. That was many years ago.
You peer at Canaie searchingly.
[Lupinum]: Acherontia - she was a lovely woman.
[Nathandiel]: HER
[Nathandiel]: That's the name!
[Nathandiel]: The one I sought....
Lupinum blinks at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: She was....so dry.
[Nathandiel]: What about enemies!? Did we have favourites!?
[Awatu]: Hmm, good question.
[Nathandiel]: Surely there was a worthy adversary in our history.
[Awatu]: I personally chose enemies, but I know Syreena liked to focus on targets.
[Nathandiel]: Syreena is crazy.
[Qabian]: Worth is debatable.
[Lupinum]: Ley would remember. Mine memory is deteriorating by the second.
[Erscydiol]: I love Syreena ! - especially with her collection of ears
[Erscydiol]: Pretty Elf ears
[Qabian]: Cavanaugh makes himself a nuisance whenever he manages to focus for more than thirty seconds in a row.
Erscydiol eyes Nathandiel up and down.
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: He's still around?
[Awatu]: Before my time, I know there was a Paladin order that was focused in Theramore.
[Qabian]: Sometimes.
Lupinum clenches his fist.
[Lupinum]: The Dwarves...
[Awatu]: Clan Battlehammer, specifically.
[Nathandiel]: They at least hold their liqour.
[Lupinum]: Battlehammer.
[Lupinum]: Them.
Zalanjo scoffs.
[Canaie]: Oh yes, that holy order. What was the name?
[Zalanjo]: De dwarfs.
[Feyde]: Oh I remember fighting them!
[Awatu]: Twilight Empire.
Lupinum cackles maniacally at Awatu.
[Awatu]: Rooks. That name feels familiar.
[Awatu]: Fabled Order was the Paladin order, I believe.
Canaie nods at Awatu.
[Awatu]: We harassed First Legion at times.
[Erscydiol]: So how is everyone handling this "peace"???
[Nathandiel]: Fynn
Lupinum spits on the ground.
[Nathandiel]: The Hair
[Erscydiol]: That's the spirit!
[Awatu]: Yes, Fynne.
[Lupinum]: Treaties come and go.
[Canaie]: Yes, we can wait.
[Awatu]: As for the armistice, we are taking time to lick our wounds and recover our strength.
[Awatu]: It will not last. We will be prepared when it breaks.
[Erscydiol]: I never did get to put Khadgar in chains and lock him in a basement ...
[Erscydiol]: a shame
[Nathandiel]: That's why we must remember!
[Nathandiel]: War will come again!
[Lupinum]: There was the time Lilly was captured.
[Erscydiol]: I will get my second chance!
[Nathandiel]: And our fallen and lost brothers will expect us to fight!
[Lupinum]: I got dismembered one time...
[Nathandiel]: I'll dismember you now
Awatu nods at Vellanoria.
Lupinum starts to number events on his fingers.
[Erscydiol]: You can count on my axe and board, should the time come!
Erscydiol licks her lips.
[Awatu]: Summon Syreenna, if you please.
[Qabian]: Acherontia murdered me once, at my request. Alphaeus made sure it wasn't permanent. We were all Grim then. There. A story.
[Nathandiel]: ...Do we have to
[Vellanoria]: The ritual begins
[Nathandiel]: Once the Grim was large.
[Canaie]: You can tell her how you feel in person.
[Lupinum]: Hmm and there was another gentleman..
[Nathandiel]: I hate her
Lupinum taps his chin.
[Lupinum]: Aquizit!
[Nathandiel]: He was cute.
Vellanoria bows before Syreenna.
Erscydiol gasps at Syreenna.
[Awatu]: Grainger.
[Nathandiel]: He was also cute.
[Lupinum]: Val and I helped purge the corruption from his blood.
[Qabian]: Are we listing names again?
Erscydiol salutes Syreenna with respect.
Awatu blinks at Nathandiel.
Syreenna salutes Awatu with respect.
Erscydiol winks slyly at Syreenna.
[Nathandiel]: I like names...
Lupinum waves at Syreenna.
Awatu nods at Syreenna.
Nathandiel points at Drinn.
Erscydiol gasps at Mellinoe.
Erscydiol hails Mellinoe.
Mellinoe hails everyone around her.
Erscydiol cheers at Mellinoe!
Canaie waves at Mellinoe.
Lupinum nods at Vellanoria.
[Qabian]: Yichimet.
Lupinum nods at Mellinoe.
[Awatu]: And Mohan.
Syreenna raises a brow.
Mellinoe tilts her head curiously, not recognizing these names
[Syreenna]: If you mention Mohan, you can't forget Ohoye.
[Awatu]: I only ever met them once.
[Nathandiel]: Lovely.
[Vellanoria]: Lascivious
[Lupinum]: I know Syreena has stories.
[Feyde]: What happened to Kiannis? I remember greatly enjoying pissing him off.
[Erscydiol]: We were just talking about your necklace of ears, Syreena!
Lupinum cackles maniacally at Feyde.
[Lupinum]: I remember that lad.
Syreenna grins wickedly at Erscydiol.
Nathandiel glares angrily at Syreenna.
Mellinoe eyes Jenafur up and down.
[Canaie]: Did anybody mention Greebo yet? That dead warlock?
[Qabian]: Lupen.
[Nathandiel]: GREEBO!?
[Awatu]: Maurt.
[Nathandiel]: I thought that was a type of rum.
Mellinoe hushes her, even though no sound was made from the animal
[Erscydiol]: Also, Blood Guard, this is a fresh recruit, Hyller here! Another Forsaken fresh out the grave!
[Nathandiel]: Hail Hyller
Syreenna eyes Hyller up and down.
Syreenna nods at Hyller.
[Erscydiol]: She is looking to strengthen her skills under my, unfortunate tutelage; I know I'm a terrible teacher, okay!
[Mellinoe]: Welcome to the waking world
[Erscydiol]: She hopes to draw blood together, some day.
[Mellinoe]: And us.
[Nathandiel]: War will come again.
Erscydiol nods at Hyller.
Haneman waves at Syreenna.
[Syreenna]: The Triplets.
[Syreenna]: Skash.
[Qabian]: Regnanetah. Making me do his work because he couldn't keep his eyes open.
[Lupinum]: The Triplets!
[Vellanoria]: Bloodscream!
Syreenna snickers at you.
[Syreenna]: Chavi.
[Qabian]: Chaindog.
Qabian runs his hand over his face. "We've been at this too long."
Syreenna agrees with you.
[Nathandiel]: how the world has changed...
[Canaie]: There was also that old orc hunter with a funny name. Something warrior...
Lupinum looks at you.
[Syreenna]: Muatah.
[Awatu]: Grolish.
[Nathandiel]: Juhnaa
[Syreenna]: Grolish taught me how to read.
[Lupinum]: Alright, what if instead of naming the old Grim, we spill some blood IN their names?
[Nathandiel]: Please, you don't read.
[Lupinum]: Hmm?
[Canaie]: Oh, hmm. What abour Gorvena that warrior?
Syreenna glares angrily at Nathandiel.
[Nathandiel]: For all the Grim that have passed and fallen by the wayside....
[Erscydiol]: Here, here!
Erscydiol nods.
[Nathandiel]: Baalthemar...I slept with him.
Lupinum snorts.
[Nathandiel]: He was ok.
[Lupinum]: He wants to give me a new body.
[Lupinum]: I can't see why.
[Nathandiel]: He never did though.
[Erscydiol]: Speaking of ...
Mellinoe blinks, "New body?"
[Erscydiol]: it wouldn't be an Erscy without strong drink and a toast to the fallen!
[Qabian]: Baal was at Tahz's last week.
[Awatu]: Malebrignon. I recall him constantly questioning my loyalty.
[Erscydiol]: Drink up, mates!
[Awatu]: Though I believe he treated everyone that way.
[Syreenna]: My rogues.... Abric, Emmons, .....Drinn... So many others we caused havoc with.
[Nathandiel]: TO MALBRIGNON!
[Nathandiel]: TO AWATU!
[Qabian]: Curiously, I don't think he ever questioned mine.
Nathandiel claps excitedly for Awatu.
Lupinum stumbles away.
[Nathandiel]: Who leadsh ush still even in times of PEACE!
[Mellinoe]: I remember Gavril... I hope he is doing well.
[Erscydiol]: To Awatu, and to the glorious fallen!
Nathandiel cheers at Awatu!
Lupinum falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
[Awatu]: Quite, curious.
Awatu raises his hand. "To the Mandate."
[Syreenna]: Peace through annihilation!
[Erscydiol]: - and to the Honored dead, who were not able to rise once more of course!
[Nathandiel]: TO THE MANDATE!
[Nathandiel]: TO THE GRIM!
[Vellanoria]: Peace Through Annihilation!
[Lupinum]: Peace Through Annihilation!!
[Mellinoe]: He assigned me my mission for my Trial.
[Nathandiel]: Peace Through Annihiltion!
[Erscydiol]: Peace through Annihilation!
Mellinoe smiles, "To The Mandate!"
[Erscydiol]: heh ... that felt good
Nathandiel loves Drinn.
[Feyde]: Peace Through Annihilation!
[Erscydiol]: - like ol' times!
[Nathandiel]: Strong always, even in peace.
Erscydiol cheers!
Lupinum roars with bestial vigor. So fierce!
Erscydiol roars with bestial vigor. So fierce!
Lupinum pets Drinn.
Awatu looks at Hyller.
[Awatu]: You seek to run with this warband?
[Lupinum]: We have no place for the weak or the infirm.
[Lupinum]: Khorvis told me that the day I joined.
[Hyller]: Indeed. If allowed
[Awatu]: Front and center, then.
[Erscydiol]: It will be a long road!
Lupinum cheers at Hyller!
Nathandiel cheers at Hyller!
Hyller bows down graciously.
[Awatu]: You have seen brief moments of our history and heard some names, but we run deeper than this.
[Erscydiol]: She is very Eager, ... we plan on strengthening her up a bit of course
[Erscydiol]: ... a lotta bit
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at the situation.
[Awatu]: We will expect your commitment to our cause: Peace Through Annihilation. Is this something you can live by?
[Hyller]: If that is the code in which you live by, yes
[Erscydiol]: The mandate!
[Nathandiel]: She has a darkness about her!
Nathandiel is excited.
[Awatu]: So be it. We will see if you will last.
Nathandiel cheers at Hyller!
Vellanoria cheers at Hyller!
[Hyller]: I will make you proud
Erscydiol cheers at Hyller!
Lupinum applauds at Hyller. Bravo!
[Awatu]: So I have been told before.
Lupinum grins wickedly at Awatu.
[Erscydiol]: You better or it's my bony ass they'll grind up!
Erscydiol cackles maniacally at Hyller.
[Nathandiel]: Two new meats in one day!
[Lupinum]: Try not to throw this one in the fire, hmm?
[Erscydiol]: Then how will I moon the Westfall Brigade!??
[Syreenna]: Make sure you show the Commander the proper respect. Kneel and bow and such.
[Erscydiol]: That was ONE TIME!
Syreenna nods at Hyller.
Erscydiol nods at Hyller.
Hyller kneels before Awatu.
Awatu looks at Hyller and groans.
Syreenna grins wickedly.
Lupinum chuckles at Syreenna.
[Awatu]: Stand.
Erscydiol salutes Awatu with respect.
Erscydiol nods at Awatu.
Nathandiel blows Jenafur a kiss.
Zalanjo quietly snickers to himself.
[Qabian]: Has that ever successfully gotten a supplicant pummeled? Or was that reserved for me?
[Erscydiol]: Are you talking about the lash?
[Awatu]: Reserved for you. Syreena goads them into it, and I do not play her games.
[Qabian]: No.
[Erscydiol]: "thee" lash?
Qabian nods at Awatu.
[Erscydiol]: I heard stories ...
Awatu looks at Hyller.
Erscydiol shivers in her boots. Chilling!
[Nathandiel]: She doesn't have game.
[Qabian]: Khorvis is afraid of me for some reason. Can't imagine why.
[Awatu]: I am not your lord, so there is no need for those formalities.
Erscydiol welcomes Hyller.
Awatu looks at Vellanoria.
Feyde locks in on the imp dancing around. Every skip it takes brings it closer to death.
[Awatu]: Summon Kharazaak, if you please.
Awatu nods at Vellanoria.
Erscydiol winks slyly at Hyller.
Canaie waves at Kharzaak.
Kharzaak smiles at Canaie.
Lupinum blinks at Kharzaak.
[Awatu]: Are there any final stories or moments to share this evening?
[Lupinum]: Out of all...
Kharzaak greets Lupinum warmly.
[Lupinum]: Between the two Trolls.
[Zalanjo]: De bes' place ta be!
Lupinum lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Awatu looks at Syreenna.
[Awatu]: Surprised you don't have anything to offer right now.
Syreenna frowns, patting her pockets. She pulls out an elf ear and holds it out in offering. "Snack?"
[Lupinum]: Oh, I'll take one.
[Zalanjo]: Ya me too.
Lupinum moves to join Syreena.
Awatu grunts and shakes his head.
[Qabian]: I assume he meant a story.
Lupinum pokes Syreenna. Hey!
Lupinum sighs at Zalanjo.
[Syreenna]: No? What did you have in mind? Oh, a story?
Feyde watches Syreena. Did she just offer someone else a snack of her favorite ears!?
Lupinum shoos Zalanjo away. Be gone pest!
Zalanjo tells Lupinum NO. Not going to happen.
Syreenna eyes Lupinum and Zalanjo and shoves the ear back into her pocket.
Lupinum frowns with disappointment at Syreenna.
Nathandiel glares angrily at Syreenna.
Zalanjo lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
[Syreenna]: Who wants a story?
[Feyde]: I do!
[Erscydiol]: Grim! I thank you all again for the opportunity to train this newly risen hunk of meat into a fighting machine! We certainly have training to attend to, that's for sure ...
Lupinum raises a hand.
Erscydiol grins wickedly.
Nathandiel cheers at Erscydiol!
[Erscydiol]: - one last toast to old times, old friends, and new!
Lupinum cheers at Erscydiol!
[Nathandiel]: To the old and the new!
Haneman nods at Erscydiol.
Erscydiol cheers!
Nathandiel cheers at Erscydiol!
[Erscydiol]: For the Mandate!
Lupinum tries to slip away from Zalanjo.
Zalanjo claps excitedly.
[Syreenna]: All right....here's an old story, some of you may have heard before.
Hyller cheers at Awatu!
Syreenna grins wickedly.
Erscydiol bows down graciously.
Nathandiel looks at Syreenna.
[Syreenna]: It's called... The King of Rats.
[Nathandiel]: Oh here we go
[Syreenna]: Shortly after The Grim was formed...
Syreenna eyes Nathandiel up and down.
Lupinum claps excitedly for Syreenna.
Syreenna shoos Nathandiel away. Be gone pest!
Nathandiel settles in for story time.
[Zalanjo]: Dat elf be smokin' someting.
[Syreenna]: Maledictus, the Founder, summoned us all to Dustwallow Marsh.
Erscydiol waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
[Syreenna]: This was way before we had elves. *She gives Nath an annoyed look*
Lupinum grins wickedly at Syreenna.
Nathandiel looks up at Syreena's boobs with joy.
[Syreenna]: Anyway, weeks before, The Grim had discovered the Human king imprisoned in a cell in some sewers on Alcaz Isle.
Nathandiel is shocked
[Syreenna]: They had injected him with their latest version of the plague they were working on, and now it was time to see the results.
Nathandiel leans forward to get a better look at Syreena's toes.
[Syreenna]: But somehow, the Alliance found out about the plans, and they showed up in force on that little island.
[Zalanjo]: Dat elf ain' right.
Lupinum nods at Zalanjo.
Nathandiel counts off her toes on one hand.
[Syreenna]: There was a HUGE battle! All the magic in that little area knocked us all out!
[Syreenna]: But later, when we all woke up....some Grim managed to make their way to the cell.
Canaie agrees with Zalanjo.
[Syreenna]: But....the king was no longer there.
Syreenna lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
[Feyde]: Slippery bugger
Nathandiel leans over to examine Awatu's hoof.
Mellinoe looks... concerned at Nathaniel, said towards Zalanjo, "I may have to agree with you."
Lupinum blinks at Jenafur.
[Syreenna]: We think the Alliance resued him or got him moved when they found out our plans.
Syreenna shrugs. Who knows?
Feyde doesn't have eyes. Jenafur can't eat them!
[Syreenna]: The end.
Syreenna stares Nathandiel down.
Haneman stands at attention and salutes.
[Syreenna]: You can go away now.
Nathandiel compares the hoof to Syreena's feet.
Syreenna shoos Nathandiel away. Be gone pest!
[Nathandiel]: Your feet are uneven.
[Nathandiel]: Look
Nathandiel points to Syreena's feet.
[Syreenna]: Yeah? I'll take it up with my plastic surgeon. *GLARE*
[Canaie]: I think she tells that story differently every time...
[Nathandiel]: I can fix it.
[Syreenna]: No.
Nathandiel bends over and pulls out a tape measure.
[Nathandiel]: Just snip a bit here.....stitch a bit there.
[Nathandiel]: Hey!
[Mellinoe]: There were some nobles in Suramar that were that... interested... in other peoples' feet... It was regarded as a sickness in a few cases.
[Nathandiel]: But I did such a good job on your teeth and tits!
[Nathandiel]: She'll be back.
Awatu blinks at Mellinoe.
Mellinoe mostly mused that to herself
Feyde snickers at Mellinoe.
Qabian laughs.
Mellinoe still looks rather... concerned
Nathandiel examines Mellinoe's feet.
Lupinum sighs at Nathandiel.
Mellinoe frowns
[Nathandiel]: Your feet don't appear to need fixing.
Nathandiel points at Syreenna.
[Nathandiel]: Just her's.
[Mellinoe]: I should hope not.
[Syreenna]: I've heard there were some nobles in Suramar that were interest in sharing their spouse's lover.
[Nathandiel]: Sounds like a good place to vacation.
You raise your eyebrow inquisitively at Syreenna.
[Awatu]: On... that note?
Syreenna grins at you wickedly.
[Mellinoe]: It was rather common for a discretionary interest, yes.
[Nathandiel]: We have returned to present squabbles
Qabian points at Mellinoe, then shrugs.
[Nathandiel]: Do you have a spouse who wants to share you?
Nathandiel winks slyly at Mellinoe.
[Mellinoe]: No, my husband wasn't fond of sharing.
[Nathandiel]: ...selfish.
[Awatu]: On this evening, we have remember those who cam before us and laid the foundation of The Mandate.
Nathandiel cheers at Awatu!
Mellinoe seems to remember something, chuckling quietly to herself
[Awatu]: Upon this foundation has been built a grand temple towards our cause, and we continue to build and improve upon it.
Lupinum eyes Jenafur up and down.
Lupinum salutes Awatu with respect.
Nathandiel is so hyped.
Kharzaak salutes Awatu with respect.
[Awatu]: We will continue on, into the new seasons, and another year shall pass us by.
Nathandiel cheers at Awatu!
Nathandiel flexes at Awatu. Oooooh so strong!
Feyde laughs at Vellanoria.
[Awatu]: Now then, if there is nothing else to share this evening, then this meeting is sealed to the Mandate. Go forth, and do not forget what has brought us to this moment.
Nathandiel cheers at Awatu!
Qabian looks up at the grey sky. "Here's to at least another decade of making memories I'd prefer to forget."
[Vellanoria]: Peace Through Annihilation!
[Nathandiel]: OK! Memorial Orgy in my room!
Nathandiel winks slyly at Syreenna.
[Syreenna]: Peace through annihilation!
Mellinoe smirks at Qabian, "Aw, but we've had so much fun."
[Mellinoe]: How is my family doing, by the way?
Qabian shrugs. "I don't know. I moved out of that office."
[Awatu]: You are all dismissed. Fifteen years, Grim. Well done.
[Nathandiel]: We're almost legal.
Syreenna feels old.
[Lupinum]: Peace through Annihilation!
Canaie cheers!
[Syreenna]: Peace through annihilation!
[Nathandiel]: PEACE THROUGH ANNIHILATION!
Mellinoe shushes Jenafur again
Lupinum blinks at Jenafur.
[Feyde]: Peace Through Annihilation!
Syreenna nods at Feyde.
