The Viper Clan orcs gathered hostages and tied them together in the lower Minoc mine. Vonak helped prepare the chargesfor their next attack. As soon as the hostages were tied down and the blast charges were set the orcs climbed over and out of the mine.

Backing an almost safe distance the orcs threw rocks to detonate the charges.

The intense heat from the fire caused the stone of the mountain to become brittle and began to buckle.

The explosions weren’t finished by the time the rocks fell blocking the entrance to the lower mine.

The rubble continued to burn as the orcs could hear the hostages scream from inside.

Some of the hostages manged to break free of their bonds but were unable to make it out of the mine. With the few tools they have and low light it will be hard for them dig their own way out.

More hostages were gathered and brought to the upper mine. Again they were tied down and left to scream. Dan’tub laughed at them as he climbed over the charges he set.

Again the orcs took turns throwing rocks at the barrels ofhighly volatile explosives.

The blast blew shards of stone and ore from the mountain side and caused an avalanche of fire and stone.

Pieces of rock hit the orcs who cheered in delight.

The orcs danced in revelry for their Bloodgod.

Again inside the hostages were just as injured and trapped.

Since the attacks on the bridges leading into the city of Vesper the orcs had been content running a guerrilla campaign in the forests just outside Vesper and Minoc against small caravans. But since the caravans never made it to Vesper no one successfully came looking. The orcs grew impatient. They were not getting the tribute they expected. Their leader Dan’tub decided to stalk one such caravan until it got to the border of Vesper. This would leave little the imagination to the people of Vesper and the orcs would get the tribute they deserved!

In total twenty innocent lives were lost and their cargo stolen or destroyed.

The Orcs reveled in delight. They disemboweled the corpses and danced with their intestines. they ate the still warm hearts.

The trail of bloodshed soaked into the snow and soil as they killed almost anything that moved.

They nimbly crossed what was left of the North West bridge when they ran into some Zoogi Fungus. Whilst distracted by the intoxicating mushrooms Quacklebush and some other men startled the orcs in what they perceived to be an ambush.

I apologize for the lack of screenshots from here on. By this point I was more concentrating on staying alive and not getting captured since I had live witnesses. Thanks to those that were able to chase us and do some fighting, even if it was just emote fighting to start with.

They took off across the newly reconstructed North Bridge feeing down the path to Minoc. Luckily Dan’tub had thought ahead and had his brute ambush Quacklebush and his men. Quacklebush turned his skin to stone and turned a nearby rock into a juggernaut. The orcs continued to flee until they got to the mines just outside of Minoc.

There they took a begger hostage unless Quackleebush stopped following them. Quackleebush seemed to retreat. Dan’tub killed the begger anyway and created a gate to Umbra. The Orcs made it through to Umbra but so had Quackleebush just before Dan’tub managed to dispel his gate. Dan’tub cast another gate to Dagger Isle in Felucca. Quackleebush had been tricked into going through but somehow Vonak fell in as well. Dan’tub opened a gate to their camp and ordered Krugrak and the rest of the orcs to retreat for now.

They did as ordered and Dan’tub recalled to Dagger Isle in Felucca to see Quackleebush in stone form standing over the unconscious body of Vonak. Dan’tub attacked the towering figure and led him on a chase across the tundra. Dan’tub used the seemingly abandonded buildings to dodge Quackleebush. Dante would duck under homes only to found once more. He dipped into a pile of snow but the stone behemoth followed after. Dan’tub dove into the icy water only to climb out with Quackleebush still on his tail. Dan’tub finally dodged Quackleebush long enough to summon some imps to keep Quackleebush busy as he double backed to rescue Vonak. Throwing the female orc over his shoulder he ran as fast as he could he buried themselves in a pile of snow long enough for him to rest so he could open a gate back to their camp finally giving Quackleebush the slip.

Reposted for Dante Darkheart with his permission.

Three orcs of the Viper Clan gathered in secret in the town of Vesper with mysterious cargo. They began unloading it and their leader began assembling several contraptions designed to blow up They began by lighting the wick at the docks..
Dan’tub: Latz reddi!? *Raises his torch* (English/Common:You ready?)
Krugrak: Yub (English/Common:Yeah)
Kodish: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Dan’tub: Weez maak bubhosh boomaz. Da Hoomeez nub leeb izland. Da hoomeez nub get nom nomz. *lowers the torch to the wick, he chases the sparkle to the explosive charges* (English/Common:We made a great bomb. The Humans will not leave the islands. The Humans will not be able to get food.)

As it counted down the orc closest plugged his ears with his fingers and ducked.

The Orcs’ eyes filled with wonderment as they set off their first charge littering the harbor with debris.

The left for the north bridge before the flames finished settling at the docks. Again the orcs cheered in delight as the bridge exploded and burned.
Dan’tub: Okiez!! nuw wi blo da north bridgez!! (English/Common:Okay!! Now we blow the North Bridge)
Krugrak: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Kodish: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Dan’tubiz iz et urkz!!! Dis iz da tyme fur da urkz!!! *lowers his torch to the wick* (English/Common:This is it orcs!!! This is the time for the orcs!!!)

The Orcs then went around to the North East Bridge.and began setting their charges
Dan’tub: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Krugrak: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Kodish: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Dan’tub: Da norf ov da cityy will bi cut uff from da hoomeez. Dey nub getz nom nomz. (English/Common:the North of the city will be cut off from the humans. They will not be able to get food)

Dan’tub: *lights the wick*
The orcs watch gleefully as they feel the flames of the initial blast singe their eyebrows.

As the orc watch the bridge burn and crumble into the canal below Lady Khaleesi showed up.
Dan’tub: Run liik latz stolez it!!! (English/Common: Run like you stole it!!!!)
Krugrak: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
Kodish: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)
The three began running south to the next two bridges. Dan’tub and Krugrak lost Kodish in the forest.

Dan’tub made it to the West Bridge in time to light the wick.
Dan’tub: HOOWAH!!! Keep runnin’ tu da next bridgez and booma dat bridge tu!!. (English/Common: Keep running to the next bridge and blow up that bridge too)
Krugrak: HOOWAH!!! (English/Common:Hooray)

Dan’tub danced with delight as the charred bridge fell into the canal below.

Krugrak made it to the south bridge and began lighting the wick.

Krugrak too danced in reverie as the bridge collapsed under the flames.

Soon after Dan’tub and Krugrak met up between the now charred rubble of the two bridges.
Dan’tub: Da hoomeez be luukin fur uz urks. (English/Common:The humans will bbe looking for us orcs)
Krugrak: Yub. (English/Common: yeah)
Dan’tub: uz urks bedda runz inta da furrest an’ hydeez. (English/Common: us orcs had better run into the forest and hide)
Krugrak: HOOWAH! (English/Common: Hooray!!)
Dan’tub: HOOWAH!! (English/Common: Hooray!!)

On an OOC note I think it is appropriate to assume that the bridges and docks leading into the city are not fully broken and can be crossed very carefully. Maybe a railing with a slight ledge still remains. or a narrow plank still holds strong. Either way the bridges need to be repaired and in the mean time it will be close to impossible to get any large amount of supplies into or out of the city across the bridges or through the docks though reasonably fit individuals can come and go with some care.
At tonights Tavern night I will offer my services. This may be that the people of Vesper are in fear and need weapons to hunt orcs more effectively. Or armor to protect themselves from orcs. To ship goods from an alternate port such as my Red Fang Pointe. Or help rebuilding the bridges. Either way my services will not come free.

Captain Flair and Captain Hook were out at sea…

To be continued…

The back story as was provided by the governor of Minoc, Yosef…

It was a brisk cold night within the mountains of Minoc. The afternoon shift just ended and the night was on site. All the duties were being given out by the night supervisor and normal operations were conducted.
Early into the shift, two miners were seen running into the camp from the north most tunnels. At once Yosef appeared like a bat out of hell, demanding why miners were sent into the top tunnel. Ordering that the north most tunnel be closed and not entered.
*Posted a Minoc Mine*
“On the Order Of Yosef…The North most tunnels shall not be entered by any persons.
Signed,
Yosef Governor of Minoc “
Miner One Log: *With shaking hand* everything was normal till…We found that crack within the rock….It was glowing white….Then these voices….”You shall not enter our Sanctuary”…At once a white flash and white figure appeared…. I do not recall after that….
Miner Two Log: The voices are still in my head….The white light……The White figure…..

The Vampric Sanctuary…this sacred island is a safe haven for vampires of the realm. Within the boards of the island you’ll find 2 buildings; The Hub and The Ancients Crypt.
The Hub:
At this location you will find a 2 story building:
On the first floor, you’ll see a tavern like area. This area is used for social events, as well a starting point for hunting parties.
A stair case within the building will take you into the second floor. On this floor you’ll find the elder’s table where important matters are discussed, as well the elder’s work table.

The Ancients Crypt:
At this location you will find a 3 story building:
On the first floor you’ll find the “tunnel” (tele portal) that links Minoc to the Vampric Sanctuary.
Climbing the ladder outside will take you onto the second floor where you’ll find three coffins that hold the Ancients.
“Ancients are those that have lived for thousands of generations, there are only three within The Vampric Sanctuary that reside asleep within tombs and are only called on during times of need, otherwise Elders handle the governing of the Sanctuary.”
Another ladder within the Crypt will take you onto the roof, where rituals take place.

Any vampires in need of a safe Haven; are welcomed into the Sanctuary. Within the Sanctuary you will be provided with all the care you need. We hold some of the most trained medical personal within the realm. Once in the Sanctuary you’ll be required to help protect and build our sacred island.

Minocians blood has been shed…The mines have collapsed… There has been a direct attack to the people of Minoc and the realm…Capture all the Orcs you wish…Give them a fair trial…My Orders stand for the people of Minoc
“By the decree of Governor Yosef…All Orcs are order to death…
All Citizens Of Minoc have the right of law to the execution of any orc found within the surrounding borders of Minoc. Shall Orcs…be found outside the boarders of Minoc…Execution shall be of cause…”

[King Blackthorn]: Lord Yosef of Minoc, a new face.
[King Blackthorn]: What can we do for Minoc this evening?
[Yosef]: *nods*
[Yosef]: I come with Information about the mines and the town…
[King Blackthorn]: *nods*
[Yosef]: Due to the resent contained flooding within Minoc mines….
[Yosef]: The mines are now at 95% operation statues,
[Yosef]: I am sure you have heard about this…
[King Blackthorn]: A fine achievement considering the size of the issue.
[King Blackthorn]: *nods*
[Yosef]: the mines…they are such at 95%
[Yosef]: due to the high content of waste and not away to disposes of it.
[Yosef]: But an more important manner….
[Yosef]: During the operations “our” Sanctuary has come into the light….
[Yosef]: within Minoc mines….the discovery of the tunnel to the Vampric Sanctuary…
[Yosef]: this being a sacred location.
[King Blackthorn]: *shifts in his seat a bit*
[Yosef]: We request that the location on Blanche Island be under the protection of the king and his guards
[Yosef]: If or ever this island is under attack by person’s who do not have the kings interest in mind.
[Yosef]: *looks at the king*
[King Blackthorn]: *strokes his beard a moment*
[Sofia Elias]: *lowers her voice*
[Sofia Elias]: Did he say Vampire?
[Corinthian]: The vampires have a stake in this?
[Khaleesi]: *looks intently at the king*
[Alexander]: VAMPIRE?!?!?
[King Blackthorn]: I share the concerns of the crowd.
[Yosef]: *looks back and back at king*
[Lew]: *looks nervously at Yosef*
[King Blackthorn]: However…
[Corinthian]: Someone should shed more light on this matter
[King Blackthorn]: Lord Lew.
[King Blackthorn]: *looks to his left*
[Galathan]: you did say to extend friendship this coming year…
[King Blackthorn]: Lord Lew?
[Lew]: aye my Liege
[King Blackthorn]: *smiles*
[Lew]: oh my turn
[King Blackthorn]: I task you with investigating these, people that the Governor of Minoc is speaking of.
[King Blackthorn]: As a neutral party.
[Lew]: *shivers*
[Galathan]: *looks at Lew*
[Lew]: I am at your service my Liege
[King Blackthorn]: I would like to know the type of people they are, their morals, their issues both good and bad.
[Lew]: ummm
[King Blackthorn]: Governor Yosef, you will permit my investigation of the issue before adopting it as my own?
[Lew]: *looks around*
[Lew]: Sire given my past with the undead, are you sure you would like me to do this?
[Galathan]: *whispers*
[Yosef]: if that is what is need to be done
[Galathan]: is he serious?
[Lew]: I will not make the same mistake I did last time
[King Blackthorn]: Do you feel that you can be impartial?
[19:34:21] [Galathan]: *nods*
[19:34:37] [Lew]: I can be impartial yes
[19:34:49] [King Blackthorn]: A group of people is asking for protection from within my lands.
[19:35:00] [King Blackthorn]: It is something that needs to be investigated.
[19:35:14] [Lew]: I will gather my wardens sire, and investigate for you
[19:35:15] [King Blackthorn]: Then the task is yours Lord Lew.
[19:35:18] [King Blackthorn]: *nods*
[19:35:23] [King Blackthorn]: My thoughts exactly.
[19:35:25] [King Blackthorn]: *broad smile*
[19:35:28] [Yosef]: *nods*
[19:35:32] [Lew]: It will be done sire
[19:35:38] [King Blackthorn]: Have you anything else Governor Yosef?
[19:35:44] [Yosef]: Lew shall be allowed within the Sanctuary.
[19:35:46] [Yosef]: yes..
[19:35:58] [Yosef]: The first Minoc meeting will take place this Wednesday at 9pm est within the Town hall.
[19:36:11] [Yosef]: that is all…

It was settled then.. we were to go to this meeting and investigate these “vampires”. What kind of people are they? Are they friend or foe? We hoped to find those answers at the meeting.
Lord Lew and I, along with Captn Norrington and some of his guild mates, went to investigate. The meeting was very ordinary.. same as any other towns until just before the end when a gentleman ran in screaming “The Sanctuary is under attack…They have taken everything and burnt the rest…”
What that meant no one knew but Yosef ran off to investigate so we followed. What we found when we got there was horrific..



We all felt we needed to investigate this further and upon walking around the island this ship was spotted. It was of orc design but barred no obvious markings of a clan. Yosef was so distraught he ordered the ship sank…

A complete search of the island was ordered.. and this orc head, heart, and latern were found on the northeastern corner of the island…

At that point we all knew that something foul was a foot here and that the King was to be brought up to speed at once…
Lord Lew ordered me to carry this message and put it straight into the hands of the King and no one else..

My Liege,

This evening a small group from Trinsic attended the new Governors meeting in Minco for his first term. The meeting started normally with the basic diplomacy, but was interrupted by a runner from the Sanctuary that you sent me to investigate. The runner brought news of an attack on the sanctuary, and the meeting was quickly ended, as we accompanied Governor Yosef to the sanctuary island. He took us there though a freshly cleared area in the mines outside of Minco that the Orcs attempted to destroy and flood.
Within the mine, Yosef located and moved a rock, revealing a hidden passage. On the other side of the hidden passage we found a small island in chaos, the sanctuary and vault had been utterly destroyed. As we searched the island, we came upon an orc ship anchored in a small bay on the north side. After a cursory search of the vessel, the decision was made to sink the ship, to keep the responsible party from leaving the island. We began a search of the island moving from west to east, finding nothing in the search at first. Oddly, the island was devoid of life, neither human nor animal roamed it. We were about to give up the search when one of Yosef’s guards called out from coast behind the Sanctuary itself.
As the group gathered, the guard led us to a small peninsula to show us what he found. The ground here was stained red the only thing left was an Orc Head, and a heart, eerily illuminated by a lantern.
It seems that the Orcs themselves may be responsible for this destruction. There was no sign of the vampires you asked me to investigate, we are under the assumption that they were kidnapped, but this will require further investigation.

I await your reply with instructions of how we should proceed.

Lord Lew
Governor of Trinsic

Galathan mounted the fastest steed in Trinsic and set off for Castle Blackthorn at a gallop.

[19:54:37] [Lew]: *looks at Khaleesi’s belly*
[19:54:48] [Khaleesi]: Vesper is continuing to flourish despite the bustle of the holiday
[19:54:57] [Khaleesi]: *looks back at the guards*
[19:55:07] [Khaleesi]: Our Vanguard is growing and we find the need for such.

[19:56:46] [Khaleesi]: There were orcs seen about just before..
[19:56:59] [Khaleesi]: The guards have been in search of the culprits but none to be seen
[19:57:37] [Yosef]: governor was hit and guards did not move?
[19:57:45] [Tatiana Thorn]: *blushes*
[19:57:46] [Yosef]: *looks uneasy*

[19:59:12] [Khaleesi]: Also
[19:59:27] [Khaleesi]: We are coordinating a vote
[19:59:53] [Khaleesi]: for a mayor for Vesper.. with its growth we feel the need
[20:00:15] [Galathan]: .
[20:00:20] [Khaleesi]: Faeryl has stepped forward and we shall swear her in this Friday at the Town Meeting
[20:00:28] [King Blackthorn]: *nods*
[20:00:32] [Sinful Obsession]: *claps*
[20:00:35] [Khaleesi]: That is all ..

[20:00:40] [Akera]: claps
[20:00:44] [Tatiana Thorn]: *claps*
[20:00:52] [King Blackthorn]: One moment.
[20:01:01] [King Blackthorn]: *scribbles a few notes on a scrap of paper*
[20:01:33] [King Blackthorn]: Alright.
[20:01:42] [King Blackthorn]: Lord Sunwolf, returns to us!
[20:01:49] [Tatiana Thorn]: *smiles*
[20:01:51] [Lew]: *cheers*
[20:01:56] [Galathan]: *cheers*
[20:01:59] [King Blackthorn]: The floor is yours Governor.
[20:01:59] [Khaleesi]: *grins*
[20:02:11] [Corinthian]: * smiles*
[20:02:15] [SunWolf]: I would like to thank Norrington for his time he had put into the city of Yew
[20:02:21] [Captn Norrington]: *Smiles*
[20:02:28] [Queen Arya]: claps*
[20:02:31] [Tatiana Thorn]: *claps*
[20:02:44] [SunWolf]: With the new year talk of increasing relations with other races and such
[20:02:54] [SunWolf]: We are lacking on that was one of the founding part of this kingdom
[20:03:03] [SunWolf]: Cornthian, present the evidence please.
[20:03:34] [Corinthian]: * sets down staff on table before King*
[20:03:35] [SunWolf]: Does anyone know the owner of this staff, or the society that she is apart of?
[20:03:41] [Tatiana Thorn]: *studies it*
[20:03:45] [SunWolf]: The same society that has build the Empath Abbey
[20:03:56] [SunWolf]: and has managed the Court of Truth for many years.
[20:03:59] [Vranthis Malikor]: howdy folks
[20:04:07] [Corinthian]: * nods*
[20:04:09] [SunWolf]: When has anyone here, seen the druids in along time?
[20:04:19] [Maki]: hi now kings meeting
[20:04:31] [SunWolf]: It is like they gotten wiped out and tried to be forgotten.
[20:04:43] [King Blackthorn]: The rumor is that all the Druids took to residing inside the great Yew Trees.
[20:04:48] [King Blackthorn]: But tis only a rumor.
[20:05:09] [Galathan]: .
[20:05:16] [SunWolf]: There is still evidence that they are around, but just never seen.
[20:05:32] [SunWolf]: I feel this kingdom, should try to find them, and try to bring them back to us.
[20:05:47] [SunWolf]: We are missing a major part of us
[20:05:57] [SunWolf]: And there would be no Yew, without them.
[20:06:09] [King Blackthorn]: I would suggest an expedition into the Heartwood, they may know something.
[20:06:18] [Tatiana Thorn]: *nods*
[20:06:41] [SunWolf]: *nods*
[20:06:56] [King Blackthorn]: But I agree, awakening the Druids if they be willing would be a major boon to our nation.
[20:07:19] [SunWolf]: I just am hoping, they are not in any trouble, and we been ignoring them.
[20:07:28] [SunWolf]: Or what was the reasoning for them vanishing.
[20:07:46] [SunWolf]: The meer helped with the swamp of all things.
[20:07:57] [King Blackthorn]: An interesting question, I bet they could be of use in the issues of Jhelom as well.
[20:08:10] [Queen Arya]: perks up*
[20:08:37] [King Blackthorn]: I encourage you and everyone to look into what Lord Sunwolf has suggested.
[20:08:49] [Queen Arya]: jots down notes8
[20:09:11] [King Blackthorn]: Anything else for us this evening Sunwolf?
[20:09:18] [SunWolf]: One more thing, about history
[20:09:21] [Corinthian]: * retrieves staff*
[20:09:38] [SunWolf]: During last year’s riots, the late queen’s house was ransacked and looted.
[20:09:51] [Tatiana Thorn]: oh my how awful
[20:09:54] [SunWolf]: I would like to ask for funds and make it a histocial landmark.
[20:10:04] [Galathan]: .
[20:10:16] [King Blackthorn]: Wasnt a memorial already erected there?
[20:10:21] [SunWolf]: *nods*
[20:10:33] [SunWolf]: But, we should reall clean up the place I feel
[20:10:38] [SunWolf]: And put a door back up
[20:10:41] [King Blackthorn]: Ah, a restoration.
[20:10:43] [Andrasta]: Its a small memorial for such a great Queen
[20:10:45] [SunWolf]: *nods*
[20:11:00] [King Blackthorn]: I will have Farthington explore the matter.
[20:11:06] [SunWolf]: A memorial stone outside of a crime scene, doesn’t do justice
[20:11:18] [Andrasta]: *nods*
[20:11:27] [Queen Arya]: I so miss her*
[20:11:27] [SunWolf]: That is all that I have for now.
[20:11:36] [King Blackthorn]: In closing I have three things.
[20:11:42] [King Blackthorn]: First for Lord Sunwolf.
[20:12:09] [King Blackthorn]: In the past term, I believe it was Governor Norrington that suggested a Tavern…
[20:12:33] [King Blackthorn]: I was wondering what you thought of using the existing Yew Winery as a foundation.
[20:12:41] [King Blackthorn]: And building a Tavern above it.
[20:12:53] [King Blackthorn]: hypothetically of course.
[20:13:06] [SunWolf]: Can I get back with you n that
[20:13:09] [SunWolf]: ??
[20:13:12] [King Blackthorn]: We could also add the monestary bell above it.
[20:13:14] [King Blackthorn]: *smiles*
[20:13:16] [Tatiana Thorn]: would make shipping easy….
[20:13:17] [King Blackthorn]: Sure.
[20:13:22] [Non-Union Worker]: what of the poor Monks with the excellent robes?
[20:13:28] [SunWolf]: The elves and others, asked for a tavern aswell, and I want to hear more of their thoughts
[20:13:28] [King Blackthorn]: Secondly…
[20:13:30] [Quacklebush]: sounds yummy
[20:13:43] [King Blackthorn]: As many of you know, Lady Amandine is with child.
[20:13:46] [Khaleesi]: *grins* never enough taverns
[20:13:48] [Corinthian]: I like it
[20:13:52] [Queen Arya]: aye
[20:13:53] [King Blackthorn]: She is quite far along now.
[20:14:07] [Tatiana Thorn]: *smiles warmly*
[20:14:07] [King Blackthorn]: However, the recent… disturbance in the castle…
[20:14:28] [Khaleesi]: *looks alarmed*
[20:14:29] [King Blackthorn]: I am a tolorant man, I accept all races as they come and believe they each add to the…
[20:14:32] [King Blackthorn]: Diversity of our land.
[20:14:35] [King Blackthorn]: However.
[20:14:44] [King Blackthorn]: For the sake of the health of Lady Amandine…
[20:14:55] [<14156588>SunWolf]: what happened in the castle?
[20:14:59] [Galathan]: .
[20:15:01] [King Blackthorn]: If any Goblin, or other being is caught deficating or urinating on the grounds of the Castle…
[20:15:12] [Queen Arya]: heh
[20:15:14] [King Blackthorn]: I will have to release the hounds upon them.
[20:15:21] [King Blackthorn]: Are we understood?
[20:15:29] [Queen Arya]: aye
[20:15:34] [King Blackthorn]: Thirdly.
[20:15:41] [Queen Arya]: I will pass that along to Ozog
[20:15:44] [King Blackthorn]: Our dear friend of Britannia, Lord Soar…
[20:16:12] [King Blackthorn]: Has submitted a proposal to use the area in Serpent’s Hold on a more perminant basis.
[20:16:26] [King Blackthorn]: For the election goings on each season.
[20:16:26] [Sinful Obsession]: *Yea Soar*
[20:16:35] [Tatiana Thorn]: *nods*
[20:16:36] [Queen Arya]: claps*
[20:16:49] [King Blackthorn]: I rather like his ideas and will be submitting them for review for the benefit of the entire
[20:16:52] [King Blackthorn]: Council.
[20:16:59] [Sinful Obsession]: *Claps*
[20:17:05] [King Blackthorn]: *claps for Soar*
[20:17:07] [Khaleesi]: *claps*
[20:17:12] [Akera]: :_)
[20:17:12] [Khaleesi]: He is a good man
[20:17:15] [Quacklebush]: *cla[s*
[20:17:15] [King Blackthorn]: If there is nothing else?
[20:17:16] [Andrasta]: *claps*
[20:17:17] [Sinful Obsession]: *Nods*
[20:17:21] [Quacklebush]: claps*
[20:17:28] [King Blackthorn]: Long Live Britannia!
[20:17:32] [Alward]: *angs on shield*
[20:17:35] [Lew]: Long Live the King
[20:17:36] [Corinthian]: Long live the king!!!
[20:17:36] [Queen Arya]: c;aps*
[20:17:38] [King Blackthorn]: Governor Lew.
[20:17:39] [Sinful Obsession]: Long Live the King
[20:17:40] [King Blackthorn]: You are with me.
[20:17:41] [Mc Nasty]: Long Live Brit!

Aleksandre Biggering, a man wanted by the King for various crimes, including, but not limited to, the capture and breeding of the protected White Hind, was spotted at the Marsh Hall in Vesper last evening. He claimed to be seeking to purchase rare animals to perform in a circus.

 Being known as a wanted man, several members of the Emerald Trading Company who were spending the evening at the Marsh Hall confronted Biggering, and a chase ensued. At some point during this chase, the wanted Aleksandre Biggering somehow managed to lose his pants.

He was finally trapped within the Marsh Hall, and surrendered on the condition that he be taken to Yew’s prison. His captors, agreeing to that condition, brought Biggering to the Yew prison. He was placed inside the prison cart outside until an official could be notified of his arrival.

As the group spoke to Governor SunWolf, Biggering attempted to assert his innocence, and downplay his crimes. It was decided that he would remain in the cart for the time being while the King was notified of his capture and imprisonment. Unfortunately, by the next morning, the slippery merchant had escaped the prison cart, and fled into the city. His exact whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Election Night Hoopla II was held Sunday December 15th. It included all the candidates for interviews as well as Mesanna and Lord Kyronix. Lord Kyronix took some time to do an interview and interact with some of the candidates and reporters. Tahani(Andrasta) held the first interview and then it continues with Flair from Stratics. There was some good information put out and here is some of the transcripts from these conversations. Good information both on the community of Atlantic and the governor system and how it works so I hope you all enjoy.

Flair: Mr. Kyronix your interview is this way
Kyronix: ok
Flair: the interviewer is ready
Flair: in the white area please
Tahani: *smiles*
Kyronix: Hello
Kyronix: Do I get to sit here?
Kyronix: Yayyy
Yosef: hello sir
Kyronix: Hello
Yosef: I am Yosef the miner
Yosef: nice to meet you
Kyronix: Nice to meet you as well

Yosef: I will be taking over Minoc next term
Kyronix: How exciting
Tahani: Welcome to Election Hoopla Night II
Kyronix: Excited to be here, thanks for the invitation
Kyronix: *smiles*
Tahani: I’m wondering how you feel about all this
Kyronix: Warm and Squishy
Kyronix: But that’s how I normally feel
Kyronix: *pokes self*
Tahani: they tell me you are the designer responsible for all this
Tahani: are you happy with the results?
Kyronix: So far I think it’s been exciting to see what players across all the shards have done

Kyronix: And I’m very happy with it, particularly when I see things like this
Kyronix: This is extraordinary
Kyronix: It purposely was left very open ended, because we wanted to see what players would do with it

Kyronix: From that it allows us to examine what needs to be changed
Kyronix: And what we can add moving forward
Tahani: This world has always been a world where creativity is the best part
Kyronix: Indeed

Tahani: all the Governors want to know
Tahani: how will you support them
Tahani: will you give them the tools they need to create this over and over?
Tahani: without grief?
Kyronix: It’s something we have to be very careful with
Kyronix: Because implementing something that is designed to prevent people from grieving
Kyronix: Can very quickly and unfortunately turn into a tool just to grief
Kyronix: That being said though, I think there were some great ideas from the global governor’s thread
Kyronix: And we’ll be looking to implement some of those in a future publish
Kyronix: The important thing to remember is this isn’t going to become abandonware
Kyronix: So we’ll be making updates so long as there is interest
Tahani: The Governors will put in extraordinary effort if you support them
Tahani: I think I can say that for all of them
Tahani: will you be adding more additions like Vesper’s stables?
Tahani: for other towns?
Kyronix: The requests portion of the system is something we’ve been kind of navigating our way through
Kyronix: And as you may suspect is a very popular feature
Kyronix: Something’s are pretty easy for us to do, others not so much
Kyronix: What appears to be simple on the surface, like removing some trees for example
Kyronix: is a little more complicated
Kyronix: Anything that is a worldbuilding change like that is always tricky

Kyronix: We are trying to find ways to streamline that process for the future
Kyronix: So we can get additions added to more cities in a more efficient manner
Kyronix: Since those changes are going to be across all shards anyway
Kyronix: The worldbuilding ones I mean, like the Vesper stables
Tahani: Will you be including the Player towns and other towns like Sepent’s Hold?
Tahani: we held this here for a reason
Kyronix: Player towns gets tricky
Kyronix: There are some that are strongly rooted in the shard and its history
Kyronix: And have become pillars of the shards very existence
Kyronix: Others come and go very quickly
Kyronix: That being said giving more for those in player towns to do is definitely something
Kyronix: That’s been kicked around before
Kyronix: One of the things that makes Britannia come alive
Kyronix: And adds such a unique feel to the shards
Kyronix: As for other NPC towns
Kyronix: Like Serp’s and the like
Kyronix: Where it’s appropriate given the current state of the Kingdom
Kyronix: Not sure the Sultan of Nujel’m would be keen to have a King’s Governor Stomping about his island
Tahani: but there are a lot of Player towns
Tahani: that have put in years of effort
Tahani: and would love to be included
Tahani: A lot has been said regarding the voting system
Tahani: will there be any more changes to it?
Kyronix: Sorry I missed that last question
Kyronix: What was it again?
Tahani: will there be any more changes to the voting system?
Kyronix: We’ll continue to see how things play out and if adjustments need to be made
Kyronix: We’ll make them
Kyronix: I saw there was a call for longer voting terms
Kyronix: erm governor terms rather
Kyronix: Which I think has some merit
Kyronix: So we’ll see how it goes
Tahani: *smiles*
Tahani: Any thought to Felucca?
Kyronix: For right now Felucca is under the jurisdiction of the faction warlords
Kyronix: So a King’s Governor doesn’t really fit there just yet
Kyronix: Depends how things play out in the future
Kyronix: *grins*
Tahani: *smiles*
Tahani: one last question Lord Kyronix
Tahani: and we’ll let you enjoy the evening
Kyronix: Go for it
Tahani: what would you like to tell us about the system
Tahani: perhaps new upcoming things?
Tahani: I need a scoop *grins*
Kyronix: Nothing to report just yet
Kyronix: Our next step is to kind of evaluate
Kyronix: What has gone on so far
Kyronix: And see what changes we can make, what tidbits we can pull from the Governors and citizens
Kyronix: As to what they would like to see
Kyronix: And then execute on a plan for the future
Tahani: I would like to say on my own behalf
Tahani: that it’s important that you don’t make everything the same
Tahani: each shard is proud of their own unique history
Tahani: it’s what make us love our shards
Tahani: I’ve been an Atlantean for 16 years
Tahani: our history is important to us
Kyronix: That’s great
Tahani: on behalf of all the citizens of Atlantic
Tahani: I’d like to thank you for your hard work Lord Kyronix
Kyronix: Well I can’t take all the credit
Tahani: I’m happy you get to come see it for yourself
Tahani: *smiles*
Kyronix: None of this would be possible without the tireless efforts of our Event Moderators
Kyronix: And of course you guys who participate in it
Kyronix: So a huge kudos to them and you all
Tahani: we appreciate all you have done as well *smiles*
Kyronix: Yayyyy
Tahani: you are free to go have fun *smiles*
Kyronix: Thanks for having me
Tahani: it was our pleasure
Tahani: *claps*
Kyronix: I like the white chairs
Tahani: Three cheers for Lord Kyronix?
Tahani: hehe thanks
Kyronix: Natural dyes?
Tahani: yes
Kyronix: Neat!
Tahani: that’s my best seller
Tahani: ok it’s time to turn the interviews over to Flair from Stratics
Tahani: Welcome Flair
Kyronix: Do you have more questions for me?
Flair: evening
Flair: we just thought you liked our chair
Kyronix: I think this is all awesomesauce
Kyronix: Pretttty
Flair: and how do you feel about how things were run?
Queen Arya: we are stronger
Queen Arya: as one
Queen Arya: and not divided
Queen Arya: so I stand behind the king
Queen Arya: but
Queen Arya: I am not a puppet
Flair: *nods*
Queen Arya: if there are things
Queen Arya: I don’t agree with
Queen Arya: he will hear me
Flair: So then tell Kyronix if you could change anything about the system what would you change?
Queen Arya: make elections
Queen Arya: the governorships
Queen Arya: Stratics
Queen Arya: more popular
Queen Arya: get them noticed
Queen Arya: more information
Queen Arya: needs to get out
Queen Arya: many still don’t know of it
Queen Arya: gates from Luna
Queen Arya: for the two week election period
Queen Arya: a chat channel
Queen Arya: for elections
Flair: That seems to be the hot spot this election cycle
Lew: I’m afraid to close to call at the moment
Flair: wow
Lew: yes Trinsic is a rising star
Lew: its community continues to grow
Lew: and the ranks for the Trinsic Wardens as well
Flair: Kyronix I’m sure things like this is what you like to see from the system?
Kyronix: Absolutely
Flair: Did you have something to add Solus?
Solus: Uh
Flair: So anyways…
Kings: can we look forward to some faction change in the upcoming publish?
Kyronix: Working on prototyping something right now
Kings: that’s cool
Flair: *looks to Kyronix*
Flair: Governor Lew would you like to ask something?
Lew: Kyronix have you ever considered a change to the vote rules to only allow one per 6+ month account period?
Kyronix: Across all shards?
Lew: I know there is no perfect system
Lew: aye
Lew: one vote per account period
Kyronix: Unlikely, at that point we have to get databases involved so that we can access that information
Kyronix: From across all shards like we do with housing
Lew: ahh understood
Flair: sounds difficult
Lew: Just thinking of ways to augment the system
Flair: I’d like to know what your thoughts are on these close races like Lew’s
Lew: to avoid the vote buying and such
Flair: exactly
Kyronix: I think close races are a great sign that there is interest
Kyronix: Makes things more exciting
Flair: *chuckles*
Flair: you have no idea
Flair: So Lew how do you feel about your close race…
Lew: I for one would like to thank you Kyronix, you brought life back to Trinsic
Flair: I know that in the past it hasn’t always been so
Lew: I enjoy the competition I just wonder where Norrington is?
Flair: I dunno
Kyronix: Excuse me a moment
Flair: I asked for him… perhaps he is busy
EM Bennu: *psst Kyronix, tell them of our plans to turn Luna into a volcano*

Kyronix: I’ll be right back
Flair: Hello Solus..
Lew: Solus?
Solus: Helloooooo
Flair: How goes your race in Britain
Solus: Oh hello there
Kyronix: I have returned
Solus My sword is poking you *winks*
Flair: I missed you…
EM Bennu: Solus is gonna end up in the moat again.
Flair: *chuckles at Bennu*
Kyronix: Hello Bennu
Flair: Step up here and tell us Bennu
EM Bennu: Howdy
Flair: Don’t be shy
EM Bennu: Remember my short list sir. Luna = Volcano, and X level of elevation +50
EM Bennu: *winks*
EM Bennu: err, z level
Flair: *chuckles*
Kyronix: Well I live on the coast
Kyronix: I don’t think that’d do well for my garden *chuckles*
Flair: *chuckles*
EM Bennu: We could call the xpack Ultima Waterworld!
Flair: So Bennu tell us have you been following the race in Trinsic?
EM Bennu: Or.. Ultima Venice Edition.
EM Bennu *laughs*
Lew: with a collapsible sail?
Flair: *smacks Lew*
Flair: no boats
EM Bennu: To be honest, to avoid conflicts when the elections hit I try and stay out of everything.
Flair: Ahhh
EM Bennu: And let things fall where they will.
Flair: I understand
EM Bennu: I don’t want to sound bad.
Flair: It doesn’t
EM Bennu: But it avoids conflict, especially in races that are close.
Flair: It is extremely close in Trinsic]
EM Bennu: If I came across as preferring one candidate over another, it would look bad.
Flair: and both are former governors
EM Bennu: I just like to see how things work out in the end.
Flair: *nods*
EM Bennu: I do know the Trinsic race is close.
EM Bennu: And goes back and forth.
Flair: We see how you feel about Solus though…
EM Bennu: Solus I fear is a necessary evil.
EM Bennu: but it works out well.
Flair: Perhaps he should wear his swimming trunks instead of his armor
EM Bennu: *grins*
Flair: *chuckles*
Lew: I actually rather enjoy that
Lew: he brings a fun level of roleplay
EM Bennu: Exactly Lew
Lew: *glares at Solus*
EM Bennu: Without conflict, things would be very boring.
Flair: I must admit… it was funny
Lew: *thinks did I just say that out loud*
EM Bennu: I do need to figure out what we are doing for the holidays.
EM Bennu: I have a reputation to think of.
Flair: although I heard Lew got off on his charges
Flair: Any thoughts on that…
Lew: I had a good defense council
Flair: *nods*
EM Bennu: I think the King was relieved that Lew was found not-guilty.
Lew: as was Lew himself
Flair: My brother was his defense
Lew: it’s quite unnerving when you see a bloody head infront of you
Flair: I think everyone was
Flair: *nods*
Flair: I do have a question for Kyronix…
EM Bennu: The King found himself split between his faith in the Governor, and what he saw as a mistake.
Kyronix: fire away
EM Bennu: The trial was a necessity to settle the issue.
Flair: was this governors system intended as a rp system mostly to bring back communities
Kyronix: That was part of it
Flair: Trinsic was very very busy
Kyronix: the main goal was to provide a way for players to have a way to interface with the newly
Kyronix: crowned King of Britannia
Kyronix: We all know that for a long time the King was absent within the realm

Lew: aye
Flair: *nods*
Kyronix: Then we had a Queen. she didn’t last very long unfortunately
Flair: *nods*
Kyronix: And before that we had Casca
Kyronix: And that was a whole bag of terrible
Flair: *shakes head yes*
Kyronix: So when we finally had a true Britannian as our sovereign again
Kyronix: We wanted a way for that to be real for the players
Kyronix: And give them a way to see that he was a real part of the realm
Flair: *nods*
Kyronix: So the governor’s council was a conduit for the citizenry to do just that
Flair: this community has really grown and come together
Flair: because of this system… I’m sure your very proud of it
Kyronix: When it gives rise to great events like this
Kyronix: It’s really hard not to be
Kyronix: *grins*
Flair: *chuckles*
EM Bennu: Seems like a success to me!
Flair: So Lew.. what grand plans are in the works should you win this battle?
Lew: we have a unique set of players there
Lew: my plan is always the same
Lew: to serve the citizens of Trinsic
Lew: I would like a carpenters shop in Trinsic
Lew: but I think that has been tabled
Flair: Khaleesi…jump up in here too
Flair: I’m sure you have lots of questions
Flair: running around
Khaleesi: Evening!
Flair: Since you are uncontested.. how do you feel about this election?
Khaleesi: Well it’s been a quiet week… *laughs*
Flair: and about Kyronix’s system
Flair: *chuckles*
Khaleesi: I was planning all sorts of stuff to campaign
Khaleesi: it’s part of the fun..
EM Bennu: Looks like a nice mix of new and old with the election so far.
Flair: *nods it does*
Flair: I bet your excited to work with everyone
EM Bennu: Maybe we can get Skara Brea their governor office this term.
EM Bennu: *sticks his tongue out*
Flair: *chuckles*
Khaleesi: I want to thank you, Lord Kyronix and all who helped you
Kyronix: You’re welcome
Khaleesi: It has truly brought a wonderful touch to logging in every day
Kyronix: Yayyy
EM Bennu: Alright, I am being called away by Mrs. Bennu.
EM Bennu: Have a good night everyone.
EM Bennu: Be nice to Kyronix, he is shy.
Khaleesi: Its truly brought the community out in front and I am projecting a Roleplay Revival this term
Khaleesi *giggles*
Flair: night Bennu
Flair: Thanks for chatting with us
Flair: So you have been with this from the start Khaleesi…
Flair: Tell us how it has grown
Khaleesi: *nods*
Flair: and you thoughts for changes
Khaleesi: Well at the onset of this… the towns were barren… people seems to just go about their business
Khaleesi: and not really engage with one another
Khaleesi: *motions around the room tonight*
Khaleesi: This birthed from this I believe
Flair: *nods*
Khaleesi: People putting aside their differences
Khaleesi: and coming together for a cause
Flair: So then.. what would you add or change to the system?
Khaleesi: well there has already been some wonderful suggestions
Khaleesi: Keeping the towns unique..
Khaleesi: is definitely one high on my list and keeping things in line historically
Khaleesi: My biggest thing that I have encountered
Khaleesi: when doing events is the trouble with grievers
Khaleesi: I don’t know the easy answer to that but would be on top of my list
Flair: We have had trouble all night
Flair: * nods*
Khaleesi: Aye, as we have countless times
Khaleesi: hours of setting up to be ruined in five minutes
Flair: *nods*
Flair: Kyronix.. do you know exactly when the voting stops by any chance?
Flair: is it midnight EST?
Kyronix: It’s different for every shard
Kyronix: The way it works is the internal clock for the stones is not updated in real time
Kyronix: It’s on a one hour loop
Flair: ahh
Kyronix: Every hour it checks to see if it is later then the time for the election to end
Kyronix: it also does it on server up
Flair: ahh
Kyronix: so it depends
Flair: interesting…
Flair: never knew that really
Flair: I was curious
Kyronix: Doing anything in real time is expensive for the server in terms of resources
Flair: I’m sure
Flair: so we are hoping voting wraps up soon then
Flair: as it is still very heated in Trinsic
Flair: So Khaleesi… what events do you have planned
Flair: for this term
Khaleesi: Well let’s see
Khaleesi: We are planning a few things… that are in talks that I think will bring a unified front
Khaleesi: with all the towns and hope that it peaks some interest
Khaleesi: We will be starting the “Chicken Fight” extravaganza in January
Khaleesi: *smirks*
Khaleesi: We have had a lot of interest
Khaleesi: we are planning a lot of “Vesper” things as well with the Vesper Vanguard
Flair: nice
Khaleesi: of course Valentine’s day
Khaleesi: we will need some “volunteers”
Khaleesi: for our Date Night Auction
Khaleesi: *grins*
Flair: you see where Volunteering leads me too…
Flair: *chuckles*
Khaleesi: So stay tuned…
Khaleesi: I know there are many lined up for a date with you
Khaleesi: *winks*
Flair: *chuckles*
Flair: Seems like it’s slowing down a bit it’s late….
Flair: unless I am just that popular all of a sudden
Flair: *chuckles*
Flair: So Lew update us on Trinsic
Lew: it’s still just too tight to call
Lew: I’m hearing its 52.3 to 47.6
Flair: *nods*
Lew: I have a slight margin
Flair: close still
Lew: it will be till the stone cuts off
Lew: I have a question
Khaleesi: it’s not over till it’s over.. We know that from experience
Flair: Anyone else have any questions for Kyronix about our governors system
Lew: Kyronix
Kyronix: Yes?
Lew: how hard is it work on code so old
Lew: and well
Lew: crammed together
Kyronix: hehe
Flair: *chuckles*
Kyronix: It is definitely challenging at times
Lew: it must be a challenge
Lew: do you have any plans to let us ride a dolphin?
Flair: *chuckles*
Flair: Lew…
Kyronix: Hehe they tried that with sea horses
Lew: what
Kyronix: Didn’t work out too well
Lew: wait
Lew: PETA
Flair: *facepalm*
Lew: *looks around*
Atlantic: People Eating Tasty Animals?
Lew: hey I did not ask for dolphin steaks
Atlantic: JK
Whitefire: could companions ever come back into game
Whitefire: I was one
Flair: what an evening…
Lew: I doubt legal will allow that
Whitefire: one guy messed that up
Lew: I may need to get back to Trinsic
Kyronix: Not sure what you mean, companies coming back?
Flair: sometimes that is all it takes
Lew: Companions
Khaleesi: we were talking about that other night
Whitefire: companions to the young
Flair: *nods*
Kyronix: Ohhh
Kyronix: Companions
Khaleesi Was very popular back in the early 2000s

Whitefire: I was one
Whitefire: loved it
Khaleesi: *giggles and hands him two strong toothpicks for his eyes*
Khaleesi: these work great!
Whitefire: one wanted to get paid it folded
Flair: Hey Yosef.. get up here and chat with us… you’re a first time governor
Lew: three cheers for Yosef
Yosef: well hello there
Khaleesi: Yes Yosef, it’s not like you to be so quiet hehe
Flair: Tell us your experience with the system from a first time perspective
Yosef: *flex*
Yosef: if you don’t know people you can’t win
Flair: *chuckles*
Daphnie: that’s not true Yosef!
Yosef: *laughs*
Flair: well come on up here and chat with us too then
Flair: aren’t you running in Moonglow
Daphnie: yes sir
Flair: Tell us about your experiences

Daphnie: I’m sort of new to Atlantic
Daphnie: so I went the route of reaching out to passersby within the city
Daphnie: asking for support, talking about plans to bring people back to the city
Khaleesi: *nods*
Flair: and how did you find our community?
Daphnie: Julianna introduced me to Quack and then I met the amazing community of Atlantic
