My latest doodle of my tricksy Johanna.

Noticed this gem while surfing the web. Its a good one for Nina. Hair is about the right length as well. The outfit is also not too unlike a few of her day-to-day outfits except that rose would be replaced by decorative brooches in the shape of flames.

// This is back in the hands of Johanna Hardingdale. I have wiped the original post, clean slate style, for Okra has left Amia with the old fund.

//Actually Ukre still has the money, but he left with his brother back to Luiren, I just haven't gotten around to writing it up. I can meet you somewhere to OOCly transfer the funds if you want though, they wouldn't leave ICly without handing it over, was just an oversight on our part.

// Oh, right! Ahh, okay, we can do that, surely! If they wouldn't have forgotten ICly we can sort of rewind no problemo.

The townsfolk of Bendir Dale have decided that Law X: "Merchants may only set up shop if they are residents of Bendir Dale. A 10% tax will be applied to every sale for the treasury" is no longer in effect.

This should bring more trade from outside sources and ultimately help Bendir Dale prosper.

Various regular militia members breathe a sigh of relief as the extra duties are lifted off their shoulders. A few particularly eager ones set to making replacements for the current law signs.

*a small note is handed to the clerk in the town hall, adressed to Johanna*

"I would like to apply for a grant of around one hundered thousand coins, to further my magical research

Hazy Springmorn"

--

after some discussion the request was turned down, Hazy tries to gather the cash herself, leaving the request in place for a later date.

//A friendly reminder that this list should still be in effect. Just because the Dale is under new management, does not mean that former KOS/banned folks are suddenly absolved and forgotten unless Mayor Jo actually states otherwise.

*a Hin is seen at the Hinn Inn chuckling to himself and enjoying a meal of two chickens.* "Mmm!" *Toby grinned, thinking of the look on the face of the goblins when they reached their body count and nothing happened on account of the meal he was enjoying.* "Maybe I'll write a book highlighting my finer works..."
A few months later he finally got around to it. Dedicating a title page and skipping a few blank pages later, Toby begins his first draft of a guide to Amia for Halflings, knowing full well he may edit entire pages out later. This book was to be his warm up to a full guide to Elves.

Wayward Tales

A Halfling's Guide to Amia

Toby's Incredible Tale

Sent to:

- Samantha of Kohlingen,

- The Grove (through or Malandria)

- The Cordorian Guard, Adventurer's Division through Capt. Nevaeh Tarvencia

- Bendir Dale's leadership.

- The Dawnguard (Via Adela)

- The Triadic Knights (likely through Samantha but otherwise, Sent to the keep by Tuomas)

- The Shrine of Eilistraee.

- The Monolith.

- Winya Ravana

- Wharftown's authority.

And in particular additionally:

* Lyle Torrowfire

* Mayae

* Erelkacha

* Azaquis

The time for the final Obelisk's attempt is soon at hand. Specifically , the Obelisk to be attempted is at the Shrine of Eilistraee. This will be attempted on the following date, exact time to be determined:

((January 6th, 2010 *If the people primarily involved are amenible I'd like to go with 10:00 PM Eastern as has been the relative pattern for other Obelisk attempts* ))

However , given as this Obelisk is the last one to be tested, it is anticipated that a reaction will happen both with the other Obelisks, and quite possibly at the Epicentre of the five of them, estimated to be within the Mylock Hills.

I request iyou all help in watching the other Obelisk sites, or the Mylock hills dependant on your individual location when this occurs. Specifically, it is needed to see if after the Obelisk's fall in the Eilistraeen Shrine if there is any reactions to the Obelisks that yet stand, or in the Portal Focii that are exposed.

If possible, I ask that all of the Obelisks have people present at them to observe any reactions , and be ready to fend off potential interference. Additionally if any sort of reaction seems to be occuring, have a Banishment spell (not scroll) ready to be cast on the exposed portal Focii themselves. If multiple casters are present, attempt to gauge the most potent.

If you are at one of the five sites, look to the skies for any sudden and drastic shifting of weather, if it gets signfiicantly darker, that will be the time ot cast a Banishment on the Portal Focii.

Additionally to this and intended to happen before the Obelisk attempt , I know that Clergy will be required for an additional effort related to this that Mister Lyle is heading up, I will ask you contact him if you are willing to assist. Clergy of the Morninglord, Selune and Eilistraee are ideal for what is required and he will provide details and directions.

The exact time will be at Mister Lyle's discretion.

We cannot falter in this matter, we must not falter. I ask of you all to prepare and be ready. When the day comes, avail yourself to one of the five locations and be ready to react as nescessary to whatever comes, once the Obelisk test has been completed one way or the other.

Together, we will do what must be done and see Terzaroch stopped for good.

//Monday Night at 4pm PST; -8 GMT.

After portalling into the Town center Lyam hops to a nearby bench to empty the Khemite sand that seems to always find it's way into his boots. He rubs at his red rimmed bleary eyes and spends a moment looking over the square. For a moment he appears lost in the music provided by the cascading water of the fountain. Then, slowly a grin stretches across his face, transforming his before weary expression. With a hop he leaves the bench, his somewhat thinned frame heading toward the Inn with what some with a keen eye might notice as a spring in his step. "Fendel! A bit o' the Brown eh?" After some small talk and half a pint later Lyam turns to the notice after it being pointed out by Fendel. With a small grin he spins and empties the contents of his tankard and tosses the empy vessel toward Fendel. He chuckles watching the clumsy barkeep fumble with the easy catch. "Thanks fer the heads up Fendel!". Humming a jaunty hin tune he mounts the stairs two at a time almost battering the door as he opens it and disappears upstairs.

//see ya' all at the meetin'

*Nina notes the notice and notifies Peter she would like to attend*
//6pm tomorrow CST if I am doing my math correctly?

Thank you for purchasing this wonderful bit of knowledge my fine friend. Is it alright if I call you that? Friend I mean? You did after all pay gold to purchase a T.I.T. So I think that makes us pretty close, don't you? Horrible joke, I know, just don't show this page to your kids. This book is dedicated to the delightful folks of Amia as well as the kin that in typical Hin fashion have made this island a rather enjoyable place. If ever for some reason I depart this place and never return, may we meet again in Greenfields and toss some cake around.
~Toby

P.S. A large thank you to Ziggy Gemfinder's perfectly legitimate legal pipe weed and Egan's cooking for getting me into the proper mood to write. Here's to you guys! Also, special thanks to my cousin Lyam and cousin-via-handfasting, Jo for without their getting handfasted, I likely would have never bothered getting around to this random rock out in the middle of the sea.

*Nothing is then written for 11 solid pages.*

': Ah! Good! You, my fine reader, have had the wherewithal to continue looking through blank pages! I bet you even thought this book was empty! That or maybe you thought someone up and stole the first part of the story. In any case I will reward your endurance of my humor with the next page upon which I will actually begin lending you some of the tricks I have learned in the art of bringing untold joy to the unsuspecting people of this silly island on the edge of the world. Turn to page 29 and remember not to tell the next fella that reads this that there are actually words in it!

Cindle,

I would like five or ten minutes to speak with the townsfolks.

Look at that! Here you are on page 29! Either you got my message earlier or got caught with your trousers around your ankles and only opened this book hurriedly to fake like you were totally reading the whole time as if you were some scholar or something... and randomly to this exact page no less! In any case I promised the blokes that read my earlier footnote some truths I have learned so do yourself a favor and reread pages 1-28 carefully so that you too can get something for something and not something for nothing.

Did you do so yet?

Are you sure?

Good. Now here come some notes:

1: Tallers, Humans more than most, are about as gullible as they come outmatched only by the Orcs and Ogre kin. If you ever need gold enough to feed your family just come up with a reason for them to invest in you.
Here is my primary example:

It all began when I was partaking in the respectable old sport of toss the rock at the rats eating garbage out back of some Inn out in the middle of nowhere. Tossed a rock and hit the rat, of course as I am a respectable Hin after all, and what do I spy as I watch the flea ridden vermin fall into the gutter, but a wooden leg sticking out of the trash! So I wandered on over to the large heap and was certain to clog my nostrils as I did so and investigated finding a large supply of chairs all slightly broken from what must have been a brawl inside. That is when genius struck... for the minimal cost of running these broken chairs through a stream to clean them off and reinforcing the broken parts, these chairs could once again be used! Not for sitting on mind you but for drunks and brawls and general mayhem caused by mischief.

Page 31 wrote:

So I did just that, coming up with a marketing scheme, getting some close kin in on it, and set to work.

Time passed as it always does. Speaking of Time, he is not a very friendly bloke. Just keeps passing you without so much as a kind wave or anything but I digress.

Was a joke. Smart people, help the slower folks.

A few weeks later I had sold over 56 such chairs to mostly Humans and Orc kin most of whom looked at me holding a chair upside down as being potentially the greatest invention next to the wheel. Good times, that. I especially liked the part where they funded my efforts in creating this very book and the many copies to come. Hats off to you my tall, lovable marks! This book goes out to you! Scamps blessings!

Moral of the Story: Weaponize some everyday item and Tallers will eat it up like one of those pies my buddy Egan makes. Hells bells is he a good cook.

// this should be in about half an hour, roughly.

To all the listed destinations above, another missive goes around:

I bid ask your attention please,

Due to flareups of Planar activity both from the Focii themselves, and the central portal within the Mylock Hills, we were forced to carry out the Shrine of Eilistraee Obelisk test last evening , a test which was completed successfully.

As I did not go inside myself, I cannot provide details of the test itself save to say that it only allowed one as anticipated.

Unfortunately, we now have two Obelisks remaining and their Portal focii that we cannot get to because of them. I need to meet with those whom are likely to possess the gems and arrange their transfer as soon as possible, so that a means to either remove the Obelisk using them can be deigned or to be able to recharge the 'Test' function of the Gem and Obelisk combination to re-attempt the test and complete it successfully to expose the Portal Focii.

What is needed of all at this point:

1) The requested mission that Lyle was heading up will still be taking place soon, I ask you get into contact with him if you think you'd like to assist though understand, it will be imperative to follow any and all instructions he gives.

((This I believe is lined up to happen tonight))

2) The two remaining Obelisk sites and the location of the Central portal
still need to be observed. Those sites are:

- The Green Lake ruins

- The Skull Crags Monestary of the Crouching Lemur.

- The Central Portal is located in the Mylock Hills in a ruined tower.

3) Your continued patience and diligence in reporting and observing anything out of the ordinary that might be tied to this entire mess. Though the Portal Focii themselves were removed as of last evening, the sites themselves still hold likely significance and such should be watched as well. These sites are:

- Cordor's Central District, Northern portion (likely covered by Cordorian Guard personnel but extra eyes can be helpful so long as you respect their sovereignty)

- Wharftown (somewhat likely covered by it's residents and the Temple of Selune but regardless, please be ready to lend a hand)

- The Shrine of Eilistraee.

Should, somehow you find yourself facing a Portal Focii (A series of red sigils on the ground with a red glowing light), the best course of action if it is exposed, is a Banishment spell.

Please be alert, please be patient, and please be vigilant. We will overcome this if we work as a greater whole.

Together, we will see Terzaroch and his machinations stopped.

Posts, and in person. Radilith Hax seems to come near every place and hole in Bendir dale!

The notices and word say as such:

I'm interested in meeting the guy running the Hin Inn, I'm holding an important offer! It's worth hearing, I'll be around, please contact me!
