Meeting beginning

Tanda: The High Council of Britannia will come to order
Tanda: I have no formal agenda tonight
Tanda: as Primary concern is the decree
Tanda: that has come forward from the Empress
Tanda: of the Viaxus Clan
Tanda: and the Empire
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Meneldur: *nods*
Tanda: As I guess in hindsight should have been anticipated
Meneldur: Chancellor if I may?
Tanda: please
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: The city of Magincia is obviously preparing for the inevitable attack that will be made.
Tanda: *smiles at Ra'Dian*
Undead Hunter: *eyes ra'dian with a smile*
Meneldur: I have not yet had a chance to speak with Polynikes about this issue yet but do hope to do so
Meneldur: after the meeting tonight.
Meneldur: As Magincia is still weak and our guard is still lacking numbers
Meneldur: We are very open to an attack that will come with little hope for real defense without the aid
Meneldur: of the BAF.
Meneldur: As I mentioned before this was to be expected after I was forced to divulge the information
Bloodcryer: liars, pfft
Meneldur: leading to the...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises an eyebrow*
Meneldur: *watches*
Tanda: *tilts head*
Meneldur: ...that I had upon the drow...
Meneldur: This of course is their response.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Meneldur: However I feel there are darker more sinister dealings with the drow that have not yet been...
Meneldur: ...uncovered.
Meneldur: A source has informed me that it was mentioned in the UCS meeting that the Drow would be
Meneldur: attacking Magincia and they expected us to ask for aid. This information was given a full week
Meneldur: before the empress of the drow's decree.
Meneldur: Due to the weakened state of Magincia I ask this council to sharply look upon the trades
Meneldur: in hopes of stalling the attack that is sure to break out in Magincia.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Meneldur: *nods to Ra'Dian*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Whose trades?
Meneldur: I would ask that we take a closer look at the trades done in our lands by those in the UCS done
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles heartily*
Meneldur: in our lands, to make sure that the Drow are not on the receiving end of any weapons or
Meneldur: machines of war.
Meneldur: Their fore knowledge of this attack is cause for concern.
Meneldur: I mearly ask for caution and a closer look into our trade lanes while we attempt to fortify
Meneldur: Magincia.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Honestly, I've got t' ask...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'ow does the Temple o' Mondain benefit from all o' this?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Frankly, yer on trade about as much as Justicar Bloodcryer is on about you.
Meneldur: *archs an eyebrow*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' it stinks verily as much.
Meneldur: There is no benefit for the Temple other than the city in which it dwells is kept safe.
Tanda: If I may
Meneldur: And you seem to be misunderstanding my intentions.
Tanda: I believe this reference to trade
Meneldur: I am not asking for an action of new policy or law.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Yer intentions 'ave been clear for months.
Meneldur: Only to inact the laws we have already passed.
Tanda: is in response to the Drow's Decree
Tanda: of Magincia as a target
Meneldur: *nods to Tanda*
Tanda: as they seek the Temple of Mondain
Meneldur: Exactly
Tanda: for violation of "their law"
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Then let us ask ourselves 'ow much o' a target Magincia would be if
Tanda: for saving Ailieve
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: we didnae 'ave Councilor Meneldur 'ere openly discussin' e'ery little secret
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'e's 'eld.
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' lets nae be blind either.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'e certainly wouldnae be dumb enough t' stand 'ere an' tell us about 'is contact
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: wi' the drow if they didnae already expect 'im t' do so.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It's gettin' a bit long in th' proverbial tooth.
pabII: *raises eyebrow*
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Meneldur: I didn't have much choice about whether I could divulge the information or not could I?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Magincia's state is directly related t' those who currently lead it.
Meneldur: I was being forced with a censure.
Meneldur: *nods to the Grand Marshall*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *laughs*
Tanda: thank you
Tanda: Polynike
Tanda: *nods to Leon his hand has been seen*
Polynikes of Yew: *waits for Meneldur to sit*
Meneldur: *smiles*
Tanda: *pats chair up here*
Meneldur: Begging your pardon, Grand Marshall.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Good luck on that, Grand Marshall.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Polynikes of Yew: Dont want others getting hit
Polynikes of Yew: when I am the target
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: We have expected an attack by the Drow for some time
Polynikes of Yew: we have had several incursions
Polynikes of Yew: by raiding parties since the last High Council meeting
Polynikes of Yew: in Yew and Skara Brae
Polynikes of Yew: I would ask that we hold an executive meeting
Polynikes of Yew: to discuss our response
Polynikes of Yew: rather than parade our plans in this public forum
Tanda: *Nods*
Leon DeLucsil: *nods*
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have to say at this moment
Meneldur: *nods in agreement*
Tanda: M'lord DeLucsil
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks at Meneldur with a grim smirk*
Leon DeLucsil: Well, in response to Meneldur's concerns
Leon DeLucsil: You say the UCS had prior knowledge of the drow's plans correct?
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: I found out just after the decree was made.
Leon DeLucsil: ANd this knowledge is why you would like something to be looked at
Leon DeLucsil: Just to be safe
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: Just a cautionary step.
Meneldur: Nothing more.
Leon DeLucsil: Might I ask how you knew the UCS knew of these things?
Meneldur: As I mentioned, as "Source".
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *laughs*
Meneldur: I can divulge the source in a non public forum if you wish.
Leon DeLucsil: Perhaps the UCS has a 'source' as you say with the drow as well
Tanda: No, I'd rather you didn't
Meneldur: But as it seems the last time I publicly announced my sources....
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: I would not dispute that.
Leon DeLucsil: Just something we must consider later
Meneldur: But then we must ask why we were not informed right away.
Leon DeLucsil: They may have simply overheard
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: I am merely asking for caution.
Leon DeLucsil: Perhaps they would, but they are not bound to
Leon DeLucsil: I understand
Meneldur: It is questionable that they knew before hand and did not bother to mention it to us.
Leon DeLucsil: Just wanted clarification
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: Of course.
Leon DeLucsil: That is all for now
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *tilts his head*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises his hand looking at the Chancellor*
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Just curious if I missed the point where we became a member o' the United
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Council o' Sosaria.
Tanda: We are not
Polynikes of Yew: *nods and smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I wonder if that might 'ave anythin' t' do wi' not sharin' security
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: issues wi' us.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs and looks at Meneldur*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But I'm sure we can scare up a few more strokes o' paranoia.
Leon DeLucsil: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That's all.
Meneldur: *arches an eyebrow*
Tanda: I do not wish to further increase risk
Meneldur: It is not my intent to stir up paranoia, it is my job to protect Maginica
Tanda: by being to detailed
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: One's simply a bonus o' the other.
Tanda: I will however, relate that as the first information was given
Tanda: there were questions asked of many
Tanda: and it seems that the Decree has more issue with the Temple
Tanda: than with Magincia
Tanda: unfortunately it is the easiest location to find them
Tanda: They feel the Temple
Setatabon: Please have a seat and await the Chancellor.
Tamashi: I will stand thank you
Tanda: in Freeing Ailieve
Tanda: removed her from their rightful custody
Tanda: *rolls eyes*
Tanda: now as we know that holds no water by our law
Tanda: as the Empire has no says so
Tanda: and I seriously doubt
Tanda: Ailieve willingly joined them
Tanda: so their kidnapping Ailieve
Tanda: pretty much negates their claim in my eyes
Tanda: that they have any rights
Tanda: We will meet in a more secure location than this following this meeting
Tanda: to address issues
Tanda: *looks to the floor*
Tanda: As for my view
Tanda: Magincia is Britannian soil
Tanda: their invasion would be an act of war
Tanda: One of many
Tanda: Are there any items to be brought up from the assembly?
Tamashi: *coughs slightly*
Tanda: The fellow in the red helmet
Tanda: Please
Tanda: *motions to the center*
Tanda: *bows head*
Tamashi: I have been requested by my Prince, to come and clarify some items
Tanda: The Prince?
Tamashi: Hai
Tanda: of Tokuno?
Tamashi: Prince Morimoto Nakamura
Tanda: *Nods*
Tamashi: it would seem there is some confusion
Tamashi: on the ban of the temple of mondain upon our shores
Tamashi: is there any specific questions I can answer before I deliver the Prince's message
Meneldur: *watches with an amused expression*
Saipher: *coughs*
Tamashi: Well then
Tamashi: currently the Temple of Mondain
Tamashi: stands in disregard of our customs and laws
Tanda: laws?
Tamashi: Hai
Meneldur: *archs an eyebrow*
Tanda: How so?
Meneldur: I was unaware we broke any laws.
Tamashi: we do not allow anyone, be they from our lands or not to simply disrespect our Empress
Tanda: I do understand this
Tamashi: upon as well, this "man" has accussed us in many places
Tamashi: to have committed acts against your country
Tamashi: the Prince wishes it to be known
Tamashi: that Tokuno is not and will not be doing anything that would be considered an act of war
Tamashi: or helping Britannia's enemies
Tamashi: in any form
Tamashi: which
Tamashi: would be of any use in war
Tamashi: we also
Tamashi: are lead to believe by many things
Tamashi: that the Temple of Mondain
Tamashi: was behind the kidnapping of our Empress
Tamashi: and therefore will be treated as criminals until they prove otherwise
Tamashi: since the temple has known about this charges
Tamashi: and has not responded
Tamashi: the Prince views this so far, as them being guilty of it
Meneldur: I believe it was your own Soke and greatest allie Ren the Conjurer who said flatly that this
Meneldur: kidnapping of your empress was the work of a group trying to frame the Temple and wholly agreed
Meneldur: upon it.
Tamashi: until you are a member representing you
Meneldur: The Temple neither has the resources nor is ignorant enough to attempt such an act against
Meneldur: Tokuno.
Tamashi: comes to the Prince with evidence that it was not you or done by your associates
Meneldur: To think so only shows the ignorance and foolishness of your leadership.
Tamashi: excuse you
Tamashi: do you insult the Prince
Polynikes of Yew: *looks disapprovingly at Meneldur*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles softly, looking at Meneldur*
Tanda: *looks to the Councilor*
Meneldur: I have made my feelings upon Tokuno clear, I think to revisit them is a waste of this councils time
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: You would.
Tamashi: then it is obvious
Polynikes of Yew: prehaps we can allow
Polynikes of Yew: the person on the floor
Tamashi: in your contempt of our land
Polynikes of Yew: to finish
Meneldur: *nods to Polynikes*
Meneldur: As you wish.
pabII: *looks at mendelur disgustedly*
Tamashi: that you may be the villain that did kidnap our Empress
Tamashi: in such I will report you actions and words to the Prince
Tamashi: may the Ancestors watch over your soul
Tamashi: if you have one
Tanda: Honorable Lord
Tanda: We do understand that your land
Tanda: has great respect
Tanda: and reverence
Tanda: for your Empress and the Prince
Tanda: that unlike our land
Tanda: loyalty to their rule
Tanda: is given without question
Tanda: We steadfastly hope that a friendly alliance
Tanda: can be maintained
Tamashi: it is so given because they have earned it, even if it is our custom to do it anyhow.
Tanda: as we learn of your ways
Tamashi: *nods*
Tamashi: the Prince has great respect for this council
Tanda: Tis only members of the Temple
Tamashi: and the country it represents.
Tanda: who have been given to this decree?
Tamashi: Hai
Tanda: Not Magincia at large
Tanda: *Nods*
Tamashi: on those who belong to the Temple
Tanda: We shall endeavor to get to the bottom of this issue
Tamashi: *nods*
Tamashi: the Prince wishes to maintain peace between our countries
Tamashi: and have great trade
Tamashi: but
Tanda: I rather feel the puppet on a string
Tamashi: sadly it seems others wish for our countries to be at war
Tanda: *Nods*
Tamashi: the Prince is working nonstop
Tanda: It shall be our goal to find out who
Tamashi: to foil that
Tanda: or whom
Tamashi: *nods*
Tanda: seeks to prevent such an alliance
Tamashi: Chancellor you have earned many of our people's respect
Leon DeLucsil: *raises hand*
Tanda: Please give our regards
Tamashi: as has Lord Ra"dian
Tanda: to the Prince and the empress
Tanda: *nods to Leon*
Tamashi: *nods*
Tanda: Leon
Tanda: a question for our guest?
Leon DeLucsil: Hail and well met sir
Tamashi: Konichiwa, and Hail
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks at his fingers and frowns*
Leon DeLucsil: I'd like to bring up a proposal to the council and to the honorable representative from Tokuno
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs his shoulders*
Tanda: *looks to him*
Tanda: which would be?
Leon DeLucsil: That perhaps we can work together to solve this problem, and perhaps share what information and
Leon DeLucsil: Prove those that want us apart that we can work together
Leon DeLucsil: in peace and harmony
Tamashi: *nods*
Leon DeLucsil: And put an end to this nonsense
Tamashi: if this council wishes this, then I believe the Prince will as well
Tamashi: but I must ask him before I can give any word
Leon DeLucsil: Of course
Leon DeLucsil: Perhaps we could gain an audience?
Tamashi: *nods*
Tamashi: I shall request an audience on behalf of the Council
Tamashi: if
Tamashi: the Chancellor so desires
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: please do
Tamashi: I know
Tamashi: that, the only members of this Council
Tamashi: the Prince will grant
Tamashi: an audience to
Tamashi: would be the Chancellor, Lord Ra'dian, and Lord General Polynikes
Tamashi: for he knows only honor amongst them
Tanda: I am honored
Meneldur: I have a question....
Tanda: and when are we expected?
Tanda: M'lord
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: *looks to the Councilor*
Meneldur: This is for our guest...
Tamashi: I will ask him, and bring word back as soon as I can
Tamashi: yes High Priest
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Oh, this'll be good...
Tanda: *Nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *pays attention*
Tamashi: ask your question
Meneldur: Tamashi... your statement before mentioned that you will in no way lead to an act of aggression
Meneldur: against this council or it's citizens is that correct?
Tamashi: towards this land
Tamashi: Hai
Meneldur: *nods with a smile*
Tamashi: we do not consider you and yours
Tamashi: people of this land
Tamashi: for your temple is made in Felucia
Meneldur: We are citizens of Britannia however...
Tamashi: that matter is yet to be resolved in the Prince's mind
Tamashi: we will not
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Was there a relvance t' yer question, Councilor, or is it more smoke 'n mirrors?
Tamashi: however
Meneldur: So you choose who you would recognize then with no other thought?
Tamashi: come here seeking your head
Tamashi: we will wait for you to enter our lands
pabII: *thinks *
Tamashi: before any attempt to apprehend you
Meneldur: So then I can assume you have no intentions of aiding the man named Poet in attacking in an
Meneldur: attempt to break into the temple?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tamashi: I have no knowledge of any attack
Meneldur: *smiles*
Meneldur: Of course not.
Meneldur: That is all.
Tanda: *nods to Ra'Dian he will be next*
Tanda: Justicar
pabII: *hum*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Nae offense to our esteemed Councilor from Magincia,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: but this isnae the 'igh Council o' the Temple o' Mondain, an' I'm about bloody
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: tired o' 'avin' be such.
pabII: *NODS*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Month after month we get t' 'ear bickerin' from Magincia about affairs o' state
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: that 'ave about as much t' do wi' this Council as Minax 'as t' do wi'
Meneldur: We are all entitled to our opinions Justicar as you so fondly point out.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: th' weekly bridge clean
Tamashi: hmm
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: And I'm about damned tired o' ye cuttin' me off whenever ye bloody well
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: please!
Leon DeLucsil: *raies hand*
pabII: *biased opinions*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Now shut yer trap, an' learn some 'umility.
pabII: amen
Tanda: *nods to Leon*
Meneldur: *watches with an amused expression*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: No one 'as elected ye king, an' yer mouth prattles on at whomever an'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: whatever ye wish, at any opportune moment that serves ye.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Ye've got a 'and, an' until it becomes a pair o' stumps,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I'll pray to the Virtues an' e'ery dragongod in the known multiverse
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: that ye'll learn 'ow to use 'em.
Meneldur: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I cannae speak fer the rest o' the Council,
pabII: well said
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: but I'm a weeeeeeeeeeee bit tired o' 'earin' about the Temple's issues
Meneldur: *watches for pab's stump to rise*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: wi' Tokuno, an' yer less than blatant efforts to cause a rift betwixt Britannia
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' Tokuno.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: At the very least, ye ARE a member o' this 'igh Council,
Tamashi: *bows in great respect towards Lord Ra'dian*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' I for one EXPECT, not request, an apology from you spoken THIS
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: evenin' in regard t' callin' the leadership o' Tokuno ignorant.
pabII: aye
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: This isnae a bloody circus, an' if ye want a captive audience,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: go back t' the temple from which ye bloody well came.
Meneldur: *smiles indignantly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But THIS chamber is not your soap box for yer personal religious affairs!
Tamashi: a moment
Tamashi: High Priest
Tanda: *Nods*
pabII: *raises hand*
Tamashi: you say that
Tamashi: or rather ask
Tanda: *nods to Pabll she'll be after Leon*
Tamashi: if I know about an attack on the Temple from which you hail from
Tamashi: I do not however, if it did occur, the temple is not under Britannian jurisditiction
Tamashi: nor is it on this land
Tamashi: just for a bit of clarification
Tamashi: *bows to the Chancellor*
Tanda: M'lord DeLucsil
Tanda: Please M'lord Tamashi
Meneldur: *raises his stump*
Leon DeLucsil: If I may make a suggestion perhaps
Tanda: have a seat in one of these chairs
Leon DeLucsil: To clear the airs
Tamashi: you honor me
Tanda: *nods that Councilor Meneldur will be after Pabll*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *starts searching his robe for something well sharpened to grant the wish*
Leon DeLucsil: Meneldur, you feel the people of Tokuno are perhaps conspiring against ye
Leon DeLucsil: And the honorable people of Tokuno suspect the temple of crimes against them
Leon DeLucsil: Now
Leon DeLucsil: If You sir were to meet with a representative of Tokuno to plead your innocence and try and
Leon DeLucsil: explain yourself, they may look away
Leon DeLucsil: And you could also learn that they are not conspiring
Tamashi: *nods*
Leon DeLucsil: against the temple
Rose: He has a nice butt.
Rose: *looks at Leon and nods*
Leon DeLucsil: For the sake of peace might I suggest you agree to meet together in a place of peace
Tanda: *covers mouth to hide a giggle*
Leon DeLucsil: And discuss these problems
Princess Page: *looks at Rose and grits teeth*
Leon DeLucsil: And swallow any pride that may cause further misunderstandings
Rose: *looks all innocent and smiles serenely*
Saipher: all follow me
Saipher: *smiles*
Saipher: stupid animal
Leon DeLucsil: That is all, just a suggestion
Tanda: Councilor Pabll
pabII: thank you
pabII: i would just like to apologizes for the IGNORANCE of one of our councilors and
pabII: le tylou know we have respect for your empress and prince
pabII: that is all
pabII: thsnk you
Tamashi: no need
Tamashi: for apologies
Tamashi: for the ignorance of one who does not rightfully in our eyes sit on this Honored Council
Tamashi: but I thank you for your compassion and intelligence
pabII: *nods*
Tanda: Coucnilor Meneldur
Meneldur: *nods*
Meneldur: Well first I'll be responding to Ra'Dian...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *makes a little cheer and smiles*
Meneldur: Ra it appears you seem to have overlooked one slight problem with your statements.
Meneldur: The neither myself nor the Temple have asked for any of the allegations against us. It is not nor
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *coughs*
Meneldur: has it been our desire to be the focus of attention each and every week and if you were fair
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand for rebuttal*
Tanda: *Nods*
Meneldur: about the manner of conversations you would have seen that I merely responded to everything that
Tanda: *jots a note*
Meneldur: is constantly being thrown upon the temple, myself and Magincia as it comes at us.
Meneldur: You must notice, being that you are of course intelligent, that I neither asked for the Drow
Meneldur: to make such an attack upon Maginica. or that I wish meeting after meeting to continueally recieve
Meneldur: the taunts and jests of this council.
Meneldur: Nor do I wish meeting after meeting to be threatened with a censure or any of the other 101
Meneldur: accusations thrown upon me.
Meneldur: When I speak they are merely the responses to such allegations or in the matter of my duty as
Meneldur: Prime Minister for the protection or building of Maginica.
Meneldur: We have attempted time after time to gain a peaceful resolution with many only to be continually
pabII: *sighs*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *drums his fingers*
Meneldur: met with undo suspicion due to the Temples past, never mind that it was run by other beings not
You see: a timber wolf
Meneldur: one of which has survived the destruction of the Temple save Poet who is by all rights working on
Meneldur: his own and seeks to destroy the temple just as many here do.
Meneldur: Save your anger for some one else.
Meneldur: My interest has been the safety of Britannia, Maginica and this council.
Meneldur: And it has never faltered.
Meneldur: And I challenge you to find any evidence stating otherwise.
Tanda: *cringes*
pabII: *raises hand*
Meneldur: As for the represenative of Tokuno.
Tanda: *nods she will be after Justicar Fl'Gith*
Meneldur: The Temple has tried on more than one occasion to make a peaceful resolution with your leadership
Meneldur: Each time being shunted aside.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *rolls his eyes and starts playing with the candles in front of himself*
Meneldur: Most recently we have made such an attempt as a month ago. Just after your decree was
Meneldur: announced.
Meneldur: Tanda in fact I believe was there when our representatives were.
Tanda: *Nods*
Meneldur: They spoke directly to your Soke who shunted them aside as they aimed for peace instead of war.
Tamashi: and your lucky they where not imprioned on site.
Tamashi: *restrains from grabbing his honorable katana*
Meneldur: I see, so you suggest that a matter of attaining peace is worthy tresspass of imprisonment.
Tamashi: you are aware
Tamashi: of the decree
Meneldur: Your lack of respect for the leadership of the Temple and Maginica seems to go against your own
Meneldur: laws as well.
Tamashi: your "representitives"
Meneldur: If you truely have such a law.
Tamashi: we do not respect those
Meneldur: But I suggest if you are true to your word of wishing peace.
Tamashi: that disrespect our Empress
Meneldur: Then you should of course back it up with more than mere words.
Tamashi: we wish peace
Tamashi: with the council
Undead Hunter: *eyes Ren*
Tamashi: not
Tamashi: with criminals
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods to Ren with a brief smile and then focuses back on his candles*
Katheryne: *glances behind her*
Ren The Conjuror: *Returns the nod*
Tamashi: *smiles at the entrance of Ren and Takashi*
Meneldur: Like it or not, the Temple is part of this council.
Tamashi: you see High Priest
pabII: *looks to other aside of room*
Tamashi: your "men"
Tamashi: are not part of this council
Tamashi: just yourself
Tamashi: you
Polynikes of Yew: *shakes head negatively*
Meneldur: We are citizens of Britannia and thus you must recognize that we are a part of this land.
Tamashi: Hai
Tamashi: I understand this
Tamashi: however
Meneldur: Action against those who serve this council is an action against the council itself.
Tamashi: they
Tamashi: where not on your land
Tamashi: they where on ours
Tamashi: they do not server this temple
Tamashi: only you
Meneldur: *smiles*
Meneldur: I believe you are babbling now.
Meneldur: If you wish a true peace.
Meneldur: You know where to find us....
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *sighs*
Meneldur: We will be waiting with open minds.
pabII: *shakes head*
Tamashi: Soke
Takashi Mandaka: Hai
Tanda: Thank You Councilor
Meneldur: *nods*
Tamashi: perhaps you can put it into better words
Tanda: let us move on
Tanda: Justicar Fl'Gith
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Councilor Meneldur...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *claps slowly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That was per'aps the best performance I 'ave seen outside o'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: th' Britain Theater.
pabII: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Save yer righteous indignation for someone who cares though.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It was, in fact, ye who stood before this Council beggin' it t' investigate
Meneldur: *smiles amusedly*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: all incomin' shipments from the Tokuno Isles.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It was ALSO you who stood before this very Council braggin' about
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: the information ye were obtainin' from Drow contacts.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Let us not forget that at other times, ye were quite vociferous about
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: nae sharin' information, but yet, a matter that was o' such concern,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: a matter that ye now cite as partial reason fer the attacks forthcomin'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: from the Drow, that matter... that matter ye spoke about openly
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' plainly in this chamber.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Ye'll recall that I spoke out against the constant barrage o' censureships,
Meneldur: Perhaps you forgot the accusations Bloodcryer was making forcing me to tell how I knew?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: so I'm certainly ye'll understand that I do pay attention t' what transpires
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: ...
Meneldur: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Per'aps that serves well as an excuse for you.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *nods*
Ren The Conjuror: *Waits for Tanda to look his way to try and discreetly let her know he wishes to speak tonight*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But, I'll reiterate this once more.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: You are the Councilor o' Magincia, an' ye are responsible for the affairs
Tanda: *looks to the North*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: o' state o' Magincia.
Tanda: *Smiles*
Ren The Conjuror: *Returns the smile with a nod*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But yer constant an' repetetive angst about the Temple o' Ol' Moldy
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: is QUITE overrun its course, an' it can set sail from this chamber at
Ren The Conjuror: *Coughs to hide a smile at the last comment*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: any time.
Meneldur: I truly hope it would.
Meneldur: *smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Ye just stood right 'ere, not more than five minutes ago,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' AGAIN started 'arpin' in about the relations between the Temple an
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: the Tokunan Isles.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I 'ave t' tell ye...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It's yer bloody mess, an' ye can 'andle it on YER bloody time.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: This Council SHOULD 'ave better things t' do than to apologize fer yer
Ren The Conjuror: *Frowns*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: blatant disrespect for a foreign nation while sittin' as a dignitary o'
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: this land!
Ren The Conjuror: *Points the horse at the door*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: As for your final missive, directed solely at me...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Let me ask you one plain question...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Are you sure ye wish t' level that challenge at me?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: For I assure you, if I accept it, ye'll have quite the miserable time gettin'
Tanda: *stiffles a smile*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: me off o' it.
Kali: *whispers "How did you get in here?* come now
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That, 'owe'er, I'll leave to you, Councilor.
Meneldur: I would not have made such a claim if I did not mean it Ra'Dian.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But my last missive t' you...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Start portrayin' the role o' Councilor o' Magincia.
Meneldur: Of course if you are so determined to force a separation of Magincia from this council....
Meneldur: I'm sure you will find a way.
pabII: aye
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Oh, Councilor...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Unlike you, I ne'er need t' make up facts t' meet circumstance.
Tanda: *glares at Councilor Meneldur*
Polynikes of Yew: *frowns*
Meneldur: *eyes flare dangerously for the first time*
pabII: well said
Tanda: Councilor Pabll
Tanda: followed by M'lord Ren
pabII: thank you
Leon DeLucsil: *watches the councilors*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Pardon me a moment, Councilor Pab...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks pointedly at Meneldur*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Was that a threat o' secession?
Polynikes of Yew: *looks at Meneldur*
Meneldur: *Eyes narrow*
Tanda: puts hands on head and cringes
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Answer the question, Councilor, an' answer carefully.
Meneldur: You seem quite adamant about removing me as councilor from this Council.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I said no bloody thing!
Meneldur: That does not stop me from being in charge of Magincia....
Meneldur: Suggested...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I told you to start ACTING like the Councilor o' Magincia.
Princess Page: *shakes head*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: No, I didnae suggest anythin', ye paranoid, sorry bastard.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I don't mince words.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: One more crack about secedin' from Britannia,
Meneldur: You seem to be awfully angry Ra'Dian...
Oona: *Lowers her head and smiles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: an' ye'll not be servin' upon this Council from anywhere than a jail cell.
Princess Page: *puts hands on sides of face*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I 'ope I make myself clear on that.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *narrows his eyes*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks back to Pab*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: My apologies, m'lady.
pabII: One thing that bothered me
Tanda: *raises an eyebrow*
pabII: in the statement you made meneldur
Tanda: *thinks only one*
pabII: you say you are only interested in the safety and well being of Britannia
pabII: right
Meneldur: *smiles*
Meneldur: Of course.
pabII: then
pabII: how can you as a councilor go to a land such as tokuno and insult the leadership and say that
pabII: I must say the act doesn’t go along with the profession
Meneldur: Pab like so many others you seem to see only what you wish. And fail to take in all the facts.
pabII: oh stop babbling every time you are put on the spot
Meneldur: You so easily forget that not a few meetings ago a witness or two came forward to mention
pabII: the only one evading facts here is you
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *stares at the wall and mutters that he's bloody lucky that*
Meneldur: that I HAD gone to Tokuno with friendship and peace in mind.
pabII: that is all
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chopping his hands off would be assault*
Tanda: M'lord Ren
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shakes his head and lets out a long, drawn out sigh*
Meneldur: They did not like the fact that I had no tangible gifts
Tanda: *motions to the front*
Meneldur: to offer.
Meneldur: And thus threw me out.
Ren The Conjuror: *Watches Ra'dian with a small smile before turning back to the conversation*
Tamashi: a moment please Chancellor
Tanda: *Nods*
Tamashi: Liar.
Tamashi: flat out
Meneldur: Shall I call her forward?
Tamashi: your disrespect was your words
Meneldur: She was of your ranks before then?
Tamashi: not your lack of gift
Tamashi: and you know that all to well
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *rubs his temples*
Tamashi: and
Meneldur: *eyes flash dangerously as they glow emerald*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Chancellor, if ye'll excuse me, I think I'll best serve this Council at present
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: by sweepin' the floors o' the courthouse.
Meneldur: I believe I have had quite enough of this for one night.
Tanda: *Nods*
Meneldur: If you wish a censure, or to arrest me on some charge.
Meneldur: Then do so.
Tamashi: if Sachi be your witness, she also is a criminal for treason
Ren The Conjuror: *Flips open his book and reads over a few sections while listening*
pabII: *wonders if the ring is glowing too*
Meneldur: If you think I am plotting against Britannia
Meneldur: Then prove so and take the necessary action.
Tanda: *looks to Councilor Meneldur*
Tanda: Ren
Meneldur: You all squander about some miraculous plot devised against you all...
Ren The Conjuror: *Looks up and closes his prayer book*
Ren The Conjuror: Lady Tanda?
Meneldur: and yet you can come up with no more than accusations.
Tanda: *pulls stick from cloak and raps the floor*
Tanda: That will be quite enough Councilor
Meneldur: *eyes narrow*
Tanda: don't you glare at me
Meneldur: *smiles*
pabII: *hides smile*
Meneldur: I believe, you can understand my frustration.
Tanda: Aye
Tanda: and you mine
Tanda: now hush
Tanda: M'lord
Meneldur: I did not ask for this speculation, or accusations or constant sneering.
Tanda: Ren
Tanda: Did you have a reason for coming here?
Meneldur: *shoots a sideways glance at pabs*
Ren The Conjuror: *Slips his book into his pouch and steps forward*
Ren The Conjuror: *Nods*
Ren The Conjuror: May I?
Tanda: I'm thinking of expanding to a three ring show
Tanda: please
Ren The Conjuror: *Nods*
Ren The Conjuror: Thank you.
Ren The Conjuror: Just a few minor matters I wished to bring before the Council.
Ren The Conjuror: First, Newcastle and our Princess sends their greetings to the peace loving citizens and friends
Ren The Conjuror: of Britannia.
Ren The Conjuror: We hope all is well.
Ren The Conjuror: Second...and another minor matter.
Tanda: *Nods*
Rose: *whistles appreciatively at Ren*
Ren The Conjuror: For those who may be able to be engaged by the Forces currently under control of the Vice
Ren The Conjuror: Chancellor I believe...
Princess Page: *shakes head*
Ren The Conjuror: There seems to be some confusion lately and a group known as MPX has been enlisted into those
Ren The Conjuror: forces that do not understand nor abide by our rules of engagement.
Ren The Conjuror: They have attacked a number of individuals without cause.
Ren The Conjuror: I believe this is an unknown issue to Lore and may have been done in his absence.
Ren The Conjuror: Just a warning to our friends to be careful if you encounter them.
Ren The Conjuror: *Nods at Polynikes*
Tanda: This may be, I shall send him a messenger
Ren The Conjuror: *Turns back to the Council at large*
Ren The Conjuror: The last issue.
Ren The Conjuror: Seems to be a rather popular one this evening.
Ren The Conjuror: Anyways...
Ren The Conjuror: I dispatched a squire some time ago with an urgent message to be delivered to the council.
Ren The Conjuror: The Squire assures me it was delivered but I have received no word in return
Ren The Conjuror: regarding the purpose and action of some...members of the Temple.
Ren The Conjuror: Did this message reach the chambers?
Tanda: *thinks*
Ren The Conjuror: It would have been listed on the ethereal tome...
pabII: *shakes head*
Meneldur: *shakes his head*
Tanda: I think I remember a little bit of it
Ren The Conjuror: *Sighs*
pabII: *trying to remember*
Tanda: something about Lady Ailieve
Tanda: and her kidnapping
Ren The Conjuror: It was a rather long read, but the information contained within was of vital importance
Tanda: and Newcastle readying for war?
Ren The Conjuror: regarding the plots undertaken and an artifact...
Ren The Conjuror: *Looks for the ring*
Ren The Conjuror: Of some concern.
Tanda: *places wand to her head*
Ren The Conjuror: It is titled "Urgent Missive" I believe.
Ren The Conjuror: I wished to follow up on that letter to see if action had been taken.
Tanda: Ah yes
pabII: *looks at ring on Meneldurs finger*
Ren The Conjuror: It seems not yet...
Ren The Conjuror: For those who have not read the missive...
Meneldur: yet another cock and bull story to accuse the temple of some conspiracy.
Ren The Conjuror: I urge you to do so.
Ren The Conjuror: If one then is curious...
Ren The Conjuror: One can clearly see from the implications in the letter
Ren The Conjuror: that a drow invasion of Magincia would only work to the advantage of a certain individual
Tanda: *raps back of counter with her stick*
Ren The Conjuror: setting the stage for him to attempt what he mentioned tonight...
Ren The Conjuror: *Shrugs*
Tanda: oh was not rapping at you
Ren The Conjuror: Should any member of the council or the military
Ren The Conjuror: wish more information...
Ren The Conjuror: Seek me out and I will share what I know.
Tanda: *Nods*
Ren The Conjuror: Until next we meet...
Ren The Conjuror: May the Virtues bless you and the stars light your way.
Tanda: Thank you M'lord
Polynikes of Yew: Be safe Templar
Undead Hunter: *smiles warmly*
Ren The Conjuror: *Looks at the Undermarshal and cocks his head to the door*
Oona: *Stands*
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Oona: Knights, form ranks
Tanda: Well as this meeting has taxed everyone's nerves
Tanda: I am taking official liberty and adjourning
Tanda: Time to cool off and ponder events
Tanda: *takes a deep breath*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Tamashi: I will bring word
Tamashi: as soon as I can
Tanda: Thank you
Tanda: Do you have a few moments
Katheryne: *stretches arms and rubs legs til they wake up*
Polynikes of Yew: yes
Polynikes of Yew: of course
Undead Hunter: *sighs heavily*
Tanda: Hunter will you Joins us
Polynikes of Yew: *stretches*
Undead Hunter: Aye m'lady
Tanda: to my office
Tanda: upstairs
Undead Hunter: *glances to Mat and smiles*
Tanda: the walls here can have ears
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Tanda: so I would like
Polynikes of Yew: lead on
Tanda: to move this to someplace away from here
Tanda: if you need to communicate with your men, Setatabon
Tanda: knows where to find me
Tanda: most times
Tanda: Gate coming up
