You knew, didn't you? You you didn't bloody warn me! You mean bastard!! Well, I'm not going to fight - I've decided to atone for the sins of my heathen parents and devote my life to a god. A nice peaceful god like Phyloqure, God of Knowledge. But I'm not clever enough for him, so I'll stick with Novala. YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET INTIMATING MY WORSHIPERS ARE STUPID, CHILD. Easy-going as regards prayers and tithes, nice to cheats, liars and thieves and if the rumours are true, a sense of humour. Just what I like in a god - I should have converted earlier!
First things first, though. I'll have to destroy that shop list we've spent the last month compiling. I wonder if Novala knows why they build the shops so far apart? THEY DON'T, YOU'RE JUST INSIGNIFICANT. If they can't find the shop which sells chain mail, there's no point in having a fight. Right, I'm off to serve my god. GODDESS, IDIOT.
Right, shoplist destroyed. Taunus isn't happy, but there's nothing he can do now. Rochine is ecstatic; she's trying to pursuade Helca to let her spend the money at a magic shop she's found. Helca isn't convinced, though. The argument should be interesting: a charismatic (for an elf) elf mage against a half blood (need any other info?) fighter. Going by that alone, I'd say Helca, but Qara's been tutoring Rochine, so that makes her my favourite. Helca's never lost an argument yet, so she'd be upset anyway. but losing to an _elf_, and _elf mage_! She'd destroy anything in sight. I'm really looking forward to it.
She won; Rochine actually won! She was last seen heading to the Magic Cyrcle; no doubt hoping Helca won't recover until she's learned a Confusion spell. Hope she remembers she's out of 305 and 304; I think she has some of the other component, though. Qara's wandering around as if she's just robbed a bank and two jewellers in the same night - she's still rattling as if she has too. When I get a chance, I'll hide her lockpicks. No point trying to de-dagger her though, it would take hours; she had eight at the last count.
Oh, oh. Hang on a sec; we've got to go and get Helca out of jail; she's just severely injured a troll. The (few conscious) guards are very surprised, it was thought that Trolls were indestructable. Apparently, it was supposed to throw Helca out of the Pink Djinn, but it had to open it's big mouth and grunt "Time of the month, darlin'? Go home and pester your master 'til it wears Off." GARTHRANA! YOU'RE A WAR GODDESS; KILL!! Helca, unusually, gave him an opportunity to apologise. He laughed and asked what damage could a woman do to him? Quite a lot, as he found out. She's never been the same since she met up with that Belinda Bludgeon. Odd type: built like a barn, carries a two handed mace and is totally psychopathic. An absolute menace; she attacked a town once.
Whey, hey! That mages skill paid off; Rochine's learnt a useful spell - Teleport II. No more long, bum numbing carriage journeys, just three spell reagents and boom! We're there, like magic. Well, you know what I mean. Anyway, Rochine has decided it would be a good idea to do a practice teleport. She doesn't know how far we'll go, but she doubts that we'll get out of sight of the city; it's all fields and open to the south, you can see for sectors. Anyway, now that the battles have subsided it's quite safe around here. HEE, HEE, WHERE'S MY ATLAS?
Reports have been flooding in from all parts of Kharne, of Trolls spontaneously combusting. Garthrana is thought to be responsible following announcements from her priests the she has ordered her worshippers to remove "The vile, ignorant savages known as Trolls". In unprecedented actions, both Novala and Molwanh have let it be known that they wish their worshippers to aid Gathrana's groups by healing them. No reasons have been given for these sudden hostilities towards Trolls.
