Grim Views

[[ Because tonight was particularly entertaining. ]]

19:00:15 Tronto closes his eyes and lets the battle wash over him.
19:00:20 [Atticus]: Aye. Good then. We'll interview ye soon.
19:00:27 [Filora]: Sorry I'm late.
19:00:28 Damienar nods at Atticus.
19:00:29 [Atticus]: But first, there be a bit of other business te tend.
19:00:35 Atticus nods at you.
19:00:41 [Damienar]: Understood.
19:00:44 You look at Khorvis.
19:01:21 Syreena winks slyly at Khorvis.
19:01:27 [Atticus]: Ay Drinn. Ye don't have te stand with the supplicants.
19:01:44 [Drinn]: I'm just observing.
19:01:47 Drinn shrugs. Who knows?
19:01:50 Filora looks over her shoulder at Drinn and smiles.
19:01:51 [Atticus]: As ye will, then.
19:01:54 [Syreena]: What do we got tonight? Two Supplicants, and two interviews?
19:02:08 Feorn glances at the elf beside him and mumbles something about dressing in blue.
19:02:10 [Atticus]: Looks that way.
19:02:11 [Syreena]: Supplicants, step forward then, and report on your progress.
19:02:15 You look at Feorn.
19:02:19 Sunderpalm eyes Khorvis... and grins slyly.
19:02:22 Feorn lets out a hacking cough.
19:02:25 [Khorvis]: Where is that piss sucking Cobrak?
19:02:33 [Atticus]: Behind ye.
19:02:53 Khorvis grunts at the shoddy hunter.
19:02:57 [Atticus]: I think he be far-seeing or something like that though. Trapped in the mind of a parakeet.
19:03:05 Syreena snickers at Atticus.
19:03:06 [Feorn]: I sent my note about my interview with the Wordbearer. I'm waiting for my assignment of who to interview about the meaning of loyalty, or whatever.
19:03:14 [Quezt]: Sorry I am a little late. I was confronting from Warriors on the Isle of Thunder.
19:03:18 Filora wonders who the Wordbearer is.
19:03:33 Quezt coughs.
19:03:41 [Quezt]: Some Warriors...
19:03:45 [Atticus]: I've yet te review yer note, Feorn. But in the meantime, I have decided ye must interview Greebo.
19:03:53 Syreena grins wickedly.
19:04:02 [Atticus]: Might be best te try reaching him through the guild hall, first.
19:04:03 Quezt rubs her chin. "That one must have really hit me harder than I thought."
19:04:12 [Feorn]: Mmhmm.
19:04:18 You smirk slyly at Feorn.
19:04:32 Khorvis crosses his arms and fondles an empty loop round his harness. "I will need more scalps to fashion my tool ..."
19:04:54 [Atticus]: Have ye any questions, Feorn, afore we cut ye loose fer yer next interview?
19:04:56 You look at Cobrak.
19:04:59 Quezt begins to check her weapon for malfunctions and tweaks.
19:05:07 [Feorn]: None.
19:05:14 [Atticus]: Aye then, carry on.
19:05:19 [Khorvis]: Beware that felmancer!
19:05:20 [Filora]: Don't forget to mug someone on your way out.
19:05:25 [Cobrak]: Heh! When did the party start?
19:05:25 [Atticus]: Filora.
19:05:31 You nod at Atticus.
19:05:33 Drinn side glances to Khorvis a moment.
19:05:37 Cobrak nods at Khorvis.
19:05:37 [Feorn]: Pfft, I'm staying to watch the interviews.
19:05:47 [Atticus]: Have ye interviewed another Grim?
19:05:56 [Filora]: I have. I interviewed Drinn.
19:06:08 Atticus looks at his wife, looks back at Filora.
19:06:21 [Filora]: I'm still working on the report. She was very insightful.
19:06:21 Khorvis paws his coinpurse, glaring furtively at Drinn.
19:06:25 Cen inspects the crowd... looking for grim faces.
19:06:36 [Atticus]: Drinn, what do ye make of this one?
19:06:42 Cen tilts her head side to side screwing up her face.
(Drinn responded something to the effect of she approves of anyone with the guts to conduct an interview in the bowels of an alliance city.)
19:08:01 Cen mumbles to herself with a self confirming smile. "This looks right."
19:08:07 [Atticus]: Aye then, Filora. Ye can give yer report te me in person or ye can leave it at the hall. The choice be yours.
19:08:10 [Feorn]: I thought you two were there to mug people with us.
19:08:34 You nod at Atticus.
19:08:49 [Atticus]: Any questions?
19:09:04 [Filora]: Not in particular.
19:09:06 Cen sits down just outside the group and observes.
19:09:20 Cen *observes
19:09:23 [Atticus]: Aye then.
19:09:27 Atticus looks at Syreena.
19:09:36 [Atticus]: That be it fer me supplicants, fer now.
19:09:54 [Syreena]: And none of mine showed up tonight. Khorvis can whip them later.
19:10:05 A sly smirk spreads across your face.
19:10:11 [Khorvis]: With relish!
19:10:11 Cobrak shudders.
19:10:15 [Syreena]: All right! If you're here for an interview, stand on the furry bear rug in front of me, so we can see who's here.
19:10:23 Cobrak lets out a loud belch.
19:10:28 [Cobrak]: Right here!
19:10:30 Cen inspects herself.
19:10:39 Cen bows before Syreena.
19:10:44 Filora looks at the boisterous orc, then the two elves.
19:10:50 Atticus slaps Sunderpalm on the shoulder. "Good te see ye again, Grim."
19:11:04 Syreena snorts, "Apparently, Silvermoon is still burning."
19:11:22 Feorn mumbles something about armor.
19:11:23 Sunderpalm rustles suddenly as if woken up and snorts "OH... yeah thanks.
19:11:29 Cen nods in thought.
19:11:32 [Syreena]: Here's how we do things in The Grim. New Grims must prove themselves by completing three tasks.
19:11:36 Quezt clicks the cylinder of her gun about.
19:11:36 [Khorvis]: More elves. Bah, so be it. The Mandate knows not the length of ear.
19:11:46 [Syreena]: The first is to prove themselves in a Trial of Combat.
19:11:51 Syreena grins wickedly at Khorvis.
19:11:52 Filora wonders if any of the three were smart enough to bring gifts.
19:11:54 Drinn raises an eyebrow as she watches the three for the interview process step up. Her gaze narrows slightly.
19:11:54 [Cobrak]: Who ya want me to kill?
19:12:01 Cobrak growls menacingly.
19:12:07 [Atticus]: Cobrak.
19:12:13 [Atticus]: We want ye te kill everything.
19:12:16 [Syreena]: The second is a Trial of Resolve, where you learn what it means to be Grim by speaking with ranked Grims.
19:12:17 Cobrak laughs at Cen.
19:12:19 You snicker at Atticus.
19:12:31 [Atticus]: But ye won't get the chance if ye interrupt the Irredeemable again.
19:12:35 Cen seems to be making mental notes.
19:12:43 Quezt looks up with her eye, quickly jolting between the three then back down to her work.
19:12:43 Cobrak bows before Syreena.
19:12:57 [Syreena]: The final trial is a Trial of Sacrifice, to prove you have left your old life behind. This can be a physical sacrifice of a family member, or a special item.
19:13:14 [Syreena]: Or it can be a sacrifice of your time for a significant dedication to The Grim.
19:13:20 Filora eyes the tauren.
19:13:26 [Syreena]: In the case of elves, a sacrifice of ears is more than acceptable.
19:13:29 Tronto is embarrassed..
19:13:30 Syreena nods.
19:13:34 You sigh at Tronto.
19:13:41 Sunderpalm laughs at Syreena.
19:13:43 Khorvis cackles maniacally at Syreena.
19:13:44 Cen wonders at whose ears.
19:13:54 Damienar smiles.
19:13:54 [Syreena]: You will get more details on each Trial as you approach them. you will have about one month to complete each one.
19:14:06 Feorn mumbles something about not using them half the time anyway.
19:14:13 [Syreena]: Any questions?
19:14:14 You agree with Feorn.
19:14:38 Cen ponders...
19:14:45 [Cen]: I have many a question.
19:14:47 [Damienar]: No questions for me.
19:14:57 Cen turns inward in thought...
19:15:04 Filora eyes the thoughtful elf.
19:15:05 [Cobrak]: I got one...but the elfess can go first.
19:15:23 Cen mumbles to herself. "not the right questions Cen..."
19:15:27 Khorvis grunts, spittle dancing a majestic jig through his jowls towards Cen.
19:15:32 [Cen]: Oh, no questions now.
19:15:39 Atticus looks at Cen with a confused look.
19:15:40 Syreena stares Cen down.
19:15:42 [Atticus]: Cen.
19:15:46 Filora makes note of the elf's talking to herself, and mentally places her in the same category as Feorn.
19:15:50 [Atticus]: Ye are Cen, yes?
19:15:58 Cen looks around.
19:16:06 [Cen]: Oh, me. Yes. I am called Cen.
19:16:08 [Syreena]: All right then. Cobrak, what's your question?
19:16:15 Khorvis cheers at Cobrak!
19:16:19 [Cobrak]: Can I sacrifice THEIR ears?
19:16:25 Syreena grins wickedly at Cobrak.
19:16:27 Atticus begins to speak but stops when Syreena questions Cobrak.
19:16:29 Cobrak smiles at Cen.
19:16:33 [Feorn]: How much are you willing to pay, orc?
19:16:41 Damienar smiles politely, "You could try good sir."
19:16:41 Cen smiles a lazy careless smile back.
19:16:41 You sigh at Feorn.
19:17:08 [Atticus]: Eh, ye know what bores me about elves?
19:17:12 [Syreena]: So we have a Cobrak, a Cen, and....who's the other one?
19:17:18 You look at Atticus.
19:17:20 [Feorn]: We talk too much?
19:17:25 Syreena peers at Damienar searchingly.
19:17:27 [Atticus]: They like te swing their nether parts around and have pissing contests.
19:17:43 Filora snorts quietly.
19:17:58 [Atticus]: Some orcs, too.
19:17:59 Quezt blinks, tilting her head.
19:18:17 Cen ponders what parts are nether... "Could be phantasmal... no..." she mutters to herself...
19:18:21 Atticus looks meaningfully at Cobrak.
19:18:25 [Damienar]: Damienar.
19:18:25 [Syreena]: You....what's your name?
19:18:26 [Cobrak]: Only at Brewfest!
19:18:30 Syreena nods at Damienar.
19:18:36 You grin wickedly at Damienar.
19:18:46 [Syreena]: Have you three all read about the Mandate?
19:18:53 [Cobrak]: Aye.
19:18:56 [Cen]: I have.
19:19:02 [Damienar]: I have.
19:19:03 Drinn looked to Atticus while doing her best to keep a neutral expression and not roll her eyes.
19:19:09 [Syreena]: Cen, what does it mean to you?
19:19:24 Cen places her fist under her chin in thought.
19:19:32 Filora is pleased that she managed to avoid most of this initial grilling by bribing the High Inquisitor.
19:19:34 Tronto looks at Cen.
19:19:49 [Cen]: TO me it means, well, to each one... what is different but the same accross your order... yes...
19:20:12 [Cen]: At all cost. Yes, well costs are different in meaning, but all ALL the same.
19:20:27 Cen ponders a moment.
19:20:36 Filora mentally moves Cen a few categories further down than Feorn.
19:20:39 Khorvis fondles a dagger hidden in his bracer, twisting it against a sickly looking stretch of his armored flesh and eyeing the babbling elf.
19:20:44 [Cobrak]: Thrall's balls! Do you elves talk in nothing but riddles?!
19:20:45 [Cen]: It means doing what must be done for what must be done.
19:20:54 Cen nods to herself.
19:21:05 Sunderpalm 's eyebrows start to contort at the random thoughts spewing from Cen's mouth. He's clearly confused.
19:21:21 Cen looks on to see if she was clear.
19:21:25 Filora keeps a neutral expression about as well as Drinn did earlier.
19:21:30 [Syreena]: Uh huh....
19:21:44 [Cen]: Shall I try again?
19:21:52 Cen seems open and earnest.
19:22:00 [Syreena]: Sure.
19:22:06 [Khorvis]: Speak orcish, elf! What is the Mandate?!
19:22:09 Filora wishes Syreena had said no.
19:22:17 Khorvis points at Cen.
19:22:18 Sunderpalm smiles at Khorvis.
19:22:26 [Cen]: This mandate means, for all involved, doing what must be done.
19:22:43 [Atticus]: What must be done, Cen?
19:22:45 [Filora]: That's oversimplifying it, and it didn't start out that complex.
19:22:56 [Cen]: For those in your Grim, each their own, I do not know the small inside... the ah, nether parts wiggling as motivation.
19:23:16 Drinn is delighted Syreena said yes. She idly shifted her weight to one side and folded her arms.
19:23:28 [Atticus]: Alright, here.
19:23:31 [Atticus]: Cen.
19:23:35 [Atticus]: Shut yer mouth a second.
19:23:43 [Cen]: But to destroy the Alliance. To destroy them at all costs so that we may bear fruit: this seems to be the meaning in common.
19:23:48 Cen shuts her mouth.
19:24:17 [Atticus]: I'm just gonna ask ye a question or two, and ye just nod or shake yer head, yes or no.
19:24:31 Syreena looks around, thought she saw a keg here a moment ago, and now suddenly feels she needs it.
19:24:37 Cen turns to Atticus.
19:24:46 Khorvis smiles at Cen while the rogue questions Cen, thumbing the blade of his massive axe.
19:24:56 Filora looks at Atticus, hoping his brand of sense will get this finished.
19:24:58 Cen seems excited at this process.
19:25:07 [Atticus]: Ye be out ranging and find a farm what provides grain te Stormwind. The family be peaceful folk, but they serve the war in their own way.
19:25:28 [Atticus]: Do ye pass them by?
19:25:29 Syreena thanks Cobrak.
19:25:37 Cen shakes her head.
19:25:54 [Atticus]: And if, in the house, ye find a child, do ye let it survive?
19:25:55 Quezt stops turning the cylinder of her gun and looks up.
19:25:57 Damienar grins thinking would he would do.
19:26:02 Cen seems to be having trouble containing her excitement as the questions build.
19:26:03 Drinn 's lips quirked to one side in a half smile.
19:26:42 Cen gestures her neck about in an unclear manner, sort of a shake, but with a deeper thought and intent behind it.
19:27:11 [Atticus]: Ye got a broke neck, what was that?
19:27:23 Cen raises her hand to ask a question.
19:27:36 [Atticus]: Aye speak.
19:27:55 Cen takes a moment to compose a clearer question.
19:28:26 Filora looks at Khorvis, wondering if she has the patience for all this nonsense.
19:28:38 Feorn nudges Quezt and quietly asks, "Do you know if the Forsaken would buy their corpses? You know these hypothetical farm folk?"
19:29:13 [Cen]: If the child will aid the Alliance, it must be destroyed. *pauses* But greater destruction can be sewn from within as I was once an elf associated with the Alliance... yet I am not dead. BUT that elf is dead so that better I can serve truth.
19:29:42 Atticus thinks for a moment.
19:29:44 Cen hopes she was clear in her abstraction.
19:29:53 You look at Atticus.
19:29:57 Quezt snaps from her stare and turns her head. "I'm sure... certain members of the Apothecary would buy any types of bodies..."
19:30:18 Khorvis can barely contain his frothing within his feedbag.
19:30:32 [Atticus]: Kodo shit. Ye kill the child. But yer answer be close enough fer me te say ye pass my questions. That be all I have te add fer this one, Syreena.
19:30:34 Filora looks over at the warlock who approaches. Another elf. Syreena will be overjoyed.
19:30:48 Khorvis flings a handful of bloody and fresh scalps in Cen's delicate face, cackling like a mad goat! "Give us a howl, she-wolf!"
19:30:53 Syreena shakes her head, muttering something about a simple question.
19:31:02 Cen seems pleased and smiles.
19:31:05 [Sunderpalm]: Calm down, Khorvis.
19:31:09 [Cen]: That went well.
19:31:15 [Syreena]: Damienar, your turn. Do you remember the question after all that?
19:31:18 Cen nods to everyone assuming agreement.
19:31:23 You look at Damienar.
19:31:55 Khorvis glares at Sunderpalm, then settles and takes a deep draught from a friendly brew.
19:31:56 Filora realizes she doesn't remember the question; is glad she's not being asked.
19:32:21 Feorn mumbles something about staying awake through the answer.
19:32:23 [Damienar]: If you are speaking of the farm I would slaughter everyone and contact the nearest horde settlement to help me haul the grain.
19:32:33 [Syreena]: Good.
19:32:37 Damienar says matter factly.
19:32:38 Khorvis cackles maniacally at Damienar.
19:32:44 [Syreena]: The question was, what does the Mandate mean to you?
19:33:06 Drinn fully smiled.
19:33:45 [Damienar]: The mandate to me is a set of guidelines for how the horde SHOULD be ran, rubbing should with humans and dwarves makes me sick.
19:33:59 Damienar coughs, "shoulders,"
19:34:10 [Atticus]: ...rubbing...
19:34:13 Atticus makes a face,
19:34:20 You look at Syreena.
19:34:22 [Syreena]: Thank you.
19:34:24 Damienar nods at Atticus.
19:34:25 [Syreena]: Cobrak?
19:34:25 Khorvis rubs his gauntleted finger-hams together, nodding in satisfaction.
19:34:56 [Cobrak]: The Mandate is something simple for me. It means crushing all those who stand in the way of the Horde's domination.
19:35:10 [Atticus]: Cobrak.
19:35:21 [Cobrak]: Hup.
19:35:23 Cen pats Damienar on the shoulder and half whispers. "I think they like your words!"
19:35:25 [Atticus]: If the warchief of the Horde seeks peace, what do ye do?
19:35:37 Khorvis eyes Atticus up and down.
19:35:40 Damienar smiles at Cen.
19:35:40 [Khorvis]: The fel ...
19:35:58 Filora reflects even Fhenrir would have had a hard time with that question.
19:36:25 [Cobrak]: It depends. How does this warchief seek peace? Is it one of lying over and letting the Alliance have their way? Is it one of simple coexistence in fairy land?
19:36:30 Syreena peers at Kalless searchingly.
19:36:36 Syreena chuckles at Cobrak.
19:36:46 [Atticus]: Coexistence.
19:36:55 Cen seems to flutter away in thoughts of this fairy land...
19:36:57 [Cobrak]: Then he is a fool.
19:37:23 [Cobrak]: Coexistence is a lovely aspect, but a child's dream.
19:37:23 [Khorvis]: That was not the question, brother.
19:37:27 [Khorvis]: What do we DO?!
19:37:34 Khorvis glares angrily at Cobrak.
19:37:34 [Cobrak]: Overthrow him.
19:37:38 [Cobrak]: We need a WARchief.
19:37:44 [Filora]: Brave.
19:37:45 [Cobrak]: Not a Peacechief.
19:37:48 Khorvis cheers at Cobrak!
19:37:50 [Atticus]: Close.
19:37:56 Sunderpalm laughs are cobrak's response.
19:38:04 [Atticus]: We already got all we need, and it be the Mandate.
19:38:14 [Atticus]: Syreena, that be all I need te hear from him.
19:38:20 Syreena nods.
19:38:20 [Filora]: High Inquisitor... Another has arrived.
19:38:24 You look at Kalless.
19:38:30 Syreena peers at Kalless searchingly.
19:38:36 Cen turns to see Kalless.
19:38:38 [Cobrak]: Hold. I am not done.
19:38:39 [Cen]: Kalless!
19:38:41 [Syreena]: If you're here for an interview, stand on the bear rug with the rest of the.m
19:38:42 [Cobrak]: The child.
19:38:44 Cen waves at Kalless.
19:38:47 [Cobrak]: I would not kill him.
19:38:55 Atticus tilts his head.
19:39:00 [Cobrak]: Let him come for me when he is able to kill me,
19:39:03 Filora wonders why applicants feel like they have to come up with an inventive answer.
19:39:09 [Kalless]: Cen good to see you gain, although I wasn't expecting you here
19:39:21 [Cobrak]: That is all.
19:39:27 Khorvis crosses his arms and considers Cobrak's words, looking to Ms. Syreena.
19:39:30 Cen makes a friendly hushing gesture to Kalless.
19:39:30 Atticus shakes his head at Cobrak.
19:39:44 Atticus mutters something about Orcs and their sense of honor.

19:40:00 [Syreena]: You. Elf in the back who's not Grim.
19:40:11 [Syreena]: If you're here for an interview, step forward to the bear rug.
19:40:21 [Cobrak]: Pah! Another bloody elf...
19:40:24 Cen makes room.
19:40:31 [Syreena]: Your name?
19:40:39 [Kalless]: I am Kalless
19:40:47 Drinn openly rolls her eyes.
19:40:51 [Kalless]: The one who sent the letter unsigned
19:41:00 [Khorvis]: What is your clan, elf wench?
19:41:02 [Syreena]: Kalless, you're late, so I'm not going to repeat what I said at the beginning.
19:41:04 Khorvis cackles into his flask.
19:41:19 [Syreena]: We'll fill you in about the Trials later. I assume you've read about our Mandate. Tell us what it means to you.
19:42:15 [Kalless]: The Mandate I take on means to bear all I have against the Alliance in blood
19:42:44 Cen frowns. "Answer clearly."
19:42:56 [Kalless]: There is one way to peace, and that is over their rittled corpses
19:43:17 Syreena ponders a moment, then turns to Atticus. "Ask her the farmer question."
19:43:31 [Atticus]: I have another, as well, after the farmer question.
19:43:35 Khorvis cracks his neck and adjusts his feedbag, The answer is expected.
19:43:35 Feorn mumbles something about vocabulary.
19:43:55 You agree with Feorn.
19:44:01 [Atticus]: Kalless, ye be out ranging and ye come across a farm, a peaceful stead, yet the farm provides grain te Stormwind.
19:44:10 Greynn-Lightninghoof nods at Atticus.
19:44:18 Cobrak growls menacingly at Greynn-Lightninghoof.
19:44:18 Feorn coughs at Greynn-Lightninghoof.
19:44:22 You look at Greynn-Lightninghoof.
19:44:23 Cen steps back to one of the burning crystals and begins breathing in the fumes.
19:44:25 Greynn-Lightninghoof apologizes to everyone. Sorry!
19:44:30 [Atticus]: The family ain't in the fight, but they contribute te the war in their own way. Do ye pass by the farm?
19:45:25 [Kalless]: In short, no.
19:45:36 Filora nods in approval of the "in short" part.
19:45:43 Atticus nods.
19:45:52 Cobrak grumbles, upset that he couldn't add another worgen-skin cloak to his collection.
19:45:57 [Atticus]: And say ye find a small child, little more than a babe, at the farm.
19:46:05 [Atticus]: Do ye let it live?
19:46:36 [Kalless]: I do not
19:46:56 [Atticus]: Good. One last question from me.
19:46:57 Khorvis stares intently at Kalless, salivating at every dark word behind his feedbag.
19:47:09 Filora looks at Kalless. She'd covertly whispered that she should be to the point, but this was a bit much.
19:47:19 Cobrak looks displeased at the elf's answer.
19:47:45 [Atticus]: There be many what would be made stronger by joining the Grim. Tell me how the Grim might be made stronger by taking ye?
19:48:23 Raliq the Drunk says: Raliq teach you lesson now!
19:49:53 [Kalless]: My contribution is that of power. I intend to seek out all that the Grim seeks of importance to the Horde
19:49:53 [Atticus]: Ye gonna answer?
19:49:55 [Atticus]: Ah.
19:50:25 [Atticus]: Then we will see how much power ye truly have te give.
19:50:30 [Khorvis]: Power?! Hah! The proof is in the kodo blood pudding.
19:50:30 Atticus nods at Syreena.
19:50:38 Cen begins dumping out the personal belongings from her bag into the little crystal pyre and chanting something to innitiate their burning.
19:50:52 You look at Cen.
19:50:53 Khorvis eyes Syreena. "This one needs a hard testing, Ms. Syreena!"
19:50:57 Quezt turns her head to see what the elf behind her is doing.
19:51:13 Cen continues taking in the fumes.
19:51:15 [Syreena]: I have opinions on all these applicants, except Damienar. Tell me something about yourself. Why do you want to join us? What do you bring to The Grim?
19:51:19 Syreena nods at Khorvis.
19:51:33 Sunderpalm looks around for a moment and bows to Syreena, "Great Lady, I must take my leave. My apologies."
19:51:41 Syreena nods at Sunderpalm.
19:51:47 [Syreena]: Have a drink for me.
19:51:47 Khorvis tosses Sunderpalm an offhanded salute.
19:51:47 [Atticus]: Oooh, great lady he says.
19:51:48 Syreena winks slyly at Sunderpalm.
19:51:52 Quezt turns her head back.
19:51:59 Syreena snickers at Atticus.
19:52:10 [Damienar]: I bring my blades to the grim, to fight and shed blood where they are ordered.
19:52:28 [Syreena]: Are you always so quiet?
19:52:40 Cen seems to cleanse the beautiful bag to new with the soft chanting and smokes.
19:52:42 Tronto looks at Khorvis.
19:52:49 [Cobrak]: Same thing as I said before when I sent that letter. We hunt the same prey and from what I have seen from your crew...
19:52:50 You look at Khorvis.
19:53:00 [Cobrak]: They make a fine pack to hunt alongside with.
19:53:04 Cobrak nods at Khorvis.
19:53:05 [Damienar]: Not always, but always when I need to be.
19:53:12 Khorvis pokes and prods the applicant. "Look at the clean skin on this one!"
19:53:20 [Syreena]: Hm.
19:53:21 Tronto snorts.
19:53:32 [Syreena]: Grims, do any of your have any questions for our applicants?
19:53:39 [Feorn]: I have a question!
19:53:40 Filora considers.
19:53:41 Damienar takes a sidelong glance at the orc.
19:53:44 Cen gestures that she has something to address.
19:53:44 You look at Feorn.
19:53:58 Khorvis removes his feedbag and sneers at Damienar, his face a hideous mass of scars and boils.
19:53:59 Drinn blinks at Atticus.
19:54:00 Atticus stands beside his wife and whispers.
19:54:19 Cen kneels before Syreena.
19:54:22 [Feorn]: Since when do members of the Horde wear blue, huh? Can we wear blue now? That would confuse the dwarves I think, they're pretty stupid.
19:54:23 [Cen]: A gift.
19:54:34 Tronto nods.
19:54:34 You snicker at Feorn.
19:54:46 [Syreena]: Thank you.
19:54:46 Filora looks at Cen. This one might have some sense, she thinks.
19:54:48 Syreena smiles at Cen.
19:55:03 Damienar looks at Feorn.
19:55:15 Cen happily gives the beautiful bag which has far superior craftmanship to the rags she wears.
19:55:41 [Quezt]: I suppose, as a rogue, the act of surprise would work as a deterrent or allow for first blood... Maybe.
19:55:54 Drinn leaned into Atticus and quietly replied in her own whispers.
19:56:10 [Syreena]: Do the rest of you have anything to offer?
19:56:21 [Cobrak]: Yes, my courier will be arriving shortly.
19:56:25 Filora folds her arms, not indicating she has anything to ask.
19:56:34 Kalless gestures forward
19:56:35 [Quezt]: I'd like to know something...
19:56:47 Khorvis jiggles his coinpurse, thinking himself very sneaky.
19:56:51 [Kalless]: a hide from the alliance
19:57:10 Syreena nods at Kalless.
19:57:13 [Syreena]: Thank you.
19:57:15 Drinn mm's softly and nodded.
19:57:29 Feorn mumbles something about being terse.
19:57:31 [Quezt]: Sir Cobrak, where did you find that gun?
19:57:46 [Cobrak]: This guy?
19:58:00 Filora begins to wonder if her advice to Kalless was even necessary; the woman barely spits out whole sentences.
19:58:14 [Cobrak]: Picked him offa dead dwarf a few years ago.
19:58:35 [Quezt]: Alliance again...
19:58:40 Quezt looks at her gun.
19:59:00 [Quezt]: Thank you, sir Cobrak.
19:59:07 [Cobrak]: Err...No problem?
19:59:10 Khorvis dons his feedbag, clearly disappointed in his loot.
19:59:12 Quezt continues to look at her gun.
19:59:20 Filora looks at Syreena, wondering if the meeting is to be concluded.
20:02:13 Kalless polishes off her hearthstone
20:02:20 [Cobrak]: There ya are, boy!
20:02:42 Cobrak 's courier appears to lugging a massive rate filled with ores, skins, and herbs.
20:02:53 Kalless chuckles
20:03:00 [Cobrak]: I collect most everything I come across in my travels.
20:03:17 [Syreena]: Cobrak. Damienar. You will report your Trial progress to Khorvis.
20:03:23 [Syreena]: Cen, you will report to Atticus.
20:03:26 [Cobrak]: Hah! Excellent!
20:03:30 Cobrak salutes Khorvis with respect.
20:03:31 You look down upon Atticus with pity.
20:03:32 Cen waves at Atticus.
20:03:33 [Syreena]: Kalless, report to me.
20:03:33 [Atticus]: Don't I be the lucky one.
20:03:39 Damienar nods at Syreena.
20:03:45 [Syreena]: You're used to elves. You married one.
20:03:51 You snicker at Atticus.
20:04:06 [Syreena]: Any questions?
20:04:17 [Cen]: Yes.
20:04:25 You sigh at Cen.
20:04:33 Cen was holding her tongue a long time, proud of herself for doing so.
20:04:43 Drinn muttered, "You like working out riddles."
20:04:44 Syreena eyes Cen up and down.
20:04:53 [Syreena]: Attie, your Supplicant has a question for you.
20:04:58 Cen waits for a go signal.
20:04:59 Syreena smiles sweetly at Atticus.
20:05:06 Cen waves at Atticus.
20:05:12 [Atticus]: What's up Cen?
20:05:27 Khorvis nods at Cobrak.
20:05:27 Drinn looks to Atticus and mimes his last whisper out with a mocking shake of her head.
20:05:28 [Cobrak]: Lady Syreena, I will have my man deliver this crate to your base then.
20:05:29 [Cen]: Do you like green?
20:05:32 Khorvis grunts at Damienar.
20:05:38 Syreena nods at Cobrak.
20:05:45 Atticus thinks.
20:05:51 Damienar grins wickedly at Khorvis.
20:05:54 [Atticus]: Why?
20:06:15 [Cen]: Answering with a question?
20:06:19 [Khorvis]: Damienar! Cobrak! You will follow me to the bar!
20:06:31 [Cobrak]: Don't need to tell me twice!
20:06:32 Cen seems so pleased for all the talks they'll have.
20:06:34 [Atticus]: Am I?
20:06:37 [Cobrak]: C'mon mutt.
20:06:46 You look around.
20:06:51 [Cen]: I have my answer.
20:07:00 Cen seems grateful and sincere.
20:07:10 [Atticus]: What just happened?
20:07:25 [Cen]: They left to get drinks.
20:07:29 Drinn padded up behind Atticus and whispered quickly in his ear.
20:07:31 [Cen]: Shall I show you where?
20:07:35 Cen smiles at Atticus.
20:07:37 Tronto shakes. Causing blood to spray everywhere.
20:07:41 [Atticus]: Nay.
20:07:43 Filora wonders if Cen would get lost trying to find the exit.
20:07:52 [Syreena]: Kalless, any questions?
20:07:53 Filora frowns at the tauren in disapproval.
20:08:09 [Tronto]: Sorry. It got bad in there.
20:08:14 [Cen]: Oh!
20:08:30 Cen finds a deep respect in these next words. "What shall I call you?"
20:08:42 Tronto snorts.
20:08:46 [Tronto]: Ma'am.
20:08:50 Cen peers at Atticus searchingly.
20:08:52 You look at Tronto.
20:08:59 [Kalless]: There are three trials am i correct?
20:09:04 Syreena nods at Kalless.
20:09:15 Atticus flashes sign language at Drinn.
20:09:25 Filora ponders how to make her exit. The tauren is in the way of doing it subtly.
20:09:36 [Syreena]: You'll have the details of the first one waiting for you in the guild hall when I get back there later this evening.
20:09:49 Drinn gestured with both hands at the priest with some frustration.
20:10:07 [Kalless]: Wonderful
20:10:11 Cen turns to Drinn with a smile.
20:10:23 [Syreena]: Any other questions?
20:10:28 Drinn mutters something about dragons while gesticulating wildly.
20:10:37 [Kalless]: Not for now
20:10:40 Syreena nods at Kalless.
20:10:54 Atticus Looks at Cen more closely.
20:10:56 [Kalless]: However thank you for the chance to prove myself
20:11:03 [Syreena]: I'll look for you later this week to see how you're doing. if you have any questions, find me for a chat or leave me a note in my office.
20:11:06 [Kalless]: to The Grim
20:11:19 Syreena nods at Kalless.
20:11:25 [Syreena]: Tronto.
20:11:31 [Syreena]: Where's my desk?
20:11:41 You look at Tronto.
20:11:43 [Atticus]: Cen.
20:11:52 [Cen]: I am also called Cen!
20:11:56 Cen cheers at Atticus!
20:12:17 Kalless smiles at Cen.
20:12:24 Drinn pressed her lips in a tight line before folding her arms once Atticus seemed to understand what she was getting at.
20:12:39 [Atticus]: There be a Scalp Hunt among the grim, a competition fer who can kill the most alliance before midnight on the fifth.
20:13:05 You laugh at Tronto.
20:13:20 [Atticus]: Ye will find a place at the guild hall where ye can sign yer name and join the competition.
20:13:26 Syreena sighs at Tronto.
20:13:36 [Atticus]: Ye would do well, as my supplicant, te participate.
20:13:47 You look at Atticus.
20:13:48 Cen nods in thought.
20:13:58 [Atticus]: And Drinn seems te think ye got the look of one who knows her way around a fight.
20:14:14 [Syreena]: I am going to head back to the guild hall to take care of the paperwork.
20:14:20 [Cen]: I often hunt in packs as I mend those who are more, er, savage, but I can strike out on my own if you prefer.
20:14:24 [Atticus]: Ye would do well, as a living thing, te not prove her wrong.
20:14:32 Drinn held up her hand, her thumb and forefinger about an inch apart in measurement.
20:14:32 You look at Khorvis.
20:14:47 Cen finds this fascinating.
20:15:02 [Atticus]: Nay, if ye be one who mends, we'll count the bodies that fall near ye as part of yer tally.
20:15:14 Cen turns to Drinn. "Can the dead prove you wrong without remorse?"
20:15:30 Cen nods at Atticus.
20:15:40 Drinn clipped her response, "Yes."
20:15:55 Cen smiles warmly at Drinn.
20:15:57 Cobrak whistles at Leatei.
20:16:01 Syreena waves goodbye to everyone. Farewell!
20:16:08 Atticus waves goodbye to Syreena. Farewell!
20:16:09 Quezt curtsies before Syreena.
20:16:10 Cen waves at Syreena.
20:16:16 Cobrak claps excitedly for Leatei.
20:16:34 Drinn didn't smile back but focused her interest a moment.
20:17:02 Cobrak beckons Leatei over.
20:18:54 Tronto glances at Filora
20:19:00 Filora leans back against the wall, arms folded. Other than when Atticus asked her for a report, she said one thing all evening. Though she has plenty of thoughts.
20:19:36 Drinn nodded to Atticus before padding away.
20:19:45 Drinn away too..
20:19:47 Cobrak is clearly intoxicated.
20:21:12 Tronto pops a keg.
20:21:14 Cen seems to go off into a haze of random thoughts... pointing and mumbling to herself...
20:22:10 [Cobrak]: Wooo!

((huh))

[[ It's like you were there! ]]
