196th Meeting of the High Council (April 17, 2006)
Rand al'Thor: *nods in greeting*
Where will you search?
You carefully check the house and reveal several people.
You find nothing else in your house.
You see: Koale
You see: Daegoth's Ghost***
You see: Rose

Tanda: Hail
Rose: *looks annoyed at Tanda*
Tanda: *glances*
Tanda: Pardon
Gyute': May i sit any where?
Tanda: on any of the benches
Gyute': *nod*
Tanda: Welcome to the Council hall
Tanda: We will begin shortly
Gyute': *glances through her book*
Tanda: I hope tonight’s agenda's are legible
Tanda: and able to be read
Gyute': I can make it out..
Rand al'Thor: *blinks at the page*
Rand al'Thor: "Crazy hag?"
Gyute': hmm
Rose: Oh you mean Tanda was seen in Britain?
Rose: *giggles*
Tanda: *Giggles*
Rand al'Thor: Oh boy..
Tanda: Maybe
Rand al'Thor: M'lady...I'm too close for you to say things like that...
Rose: *pinches Rand's bottom*
Rand al'Thor: She may throw something and hit me instead
Rose: You could get closer!
Gyute': heh
Rand al'Thor: *turns a deep shade of red*
Rand al'Thor: Oh Boy...
Rose: *giggles*
Tanda: Nay I would never risk injuring you M'lord
Tanda: I am a patient sort
Bloodcryer: I however am not.
Bloodcryer: *smiles*
Tanda: Grand Marshall welcome
Rose: *rolls her eyes*
Tanda: *Smiles*
Rose: You're cute too.
Rose: No need to get jealous, sweety.
Polynikes of Yew: Good evening
Bloodcryer: *smiles*
Bloodcryer: *sighs*
Bloodcryer: *ponders why all reporters stoop to flirting*


Tanda: *pulls time piece from pocket of her dress*
Tanda: Welcome to the 195th meeting of the High Council
Gyute': *moves up one*
Shileena Undine: Hello master.
Tanda: The High Council will now come to order
Tanda: I regret to inform all here
Tanda: that news was given to me
Tanda: that Mayor Kimber of Skara
Gyute': ...
Tanda: has not been seen about in sometime
Tanda: Her house was found
Tanda: ransacked
Tanda: but no sign of blood or her
Tanda: There is some thought that perhaps
Tanda: those who consider Chaotic Justice
Tanda: to be their alliance may have been the last to know her whereabouts
Rose: *rubs her shoulder against Rand's and winks at him*
Tanda: I do hope her whereabouts if discovered soon
Tanda: As the Councilor of Yew and Whispering Winds
Tanda: are not present
Tanda: we will move to Officer's reports
Tanda: if any have items to address
Tanda: Justicars or Grand Marshall?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises his hand and looks to the door*
Tanda: anything?
Bloodcryer: *shakes head*
Tanda: Justicar Fl'Gith
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It distresses me greatly t' report this...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks to the figure at the door and frowns*
Rand al'Thor: *sighs and turns red*
Rand al'Thor: Master Heart...Mind switching seats...
Gyute': ....
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Word 'as come t' me from the City-State o' Dracona...
Rand al'Thor: *gulps*
Treybyre Heart: *Chuckles*
Princess Page: *shakes her head*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: There is an issue...
Treybyre Heart: *Winks to Rose*
Tanda: *tilts head*
Rose: *winks back at Treybyre*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Per'aps best discussed be'ind closed doors, but for security reasons, I think all should know...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: The Lord Enforcer 'as passed word that there 'as been activity in Northern Dracona.
Rand al'Thor: Oh look at that...a guard post..
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: And sightin' o' the one known as Darian Flight.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'ow this be possible is beyond me...
Tanda: *swallows hard*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: But...
Polynikes of Yew: *frowns*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'is tricks 'ave been most devious in the past, an' I fear there may be further t' come.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: The Enforcer 'imself 'asnae made a sightin' o' 'im, but the description matches.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs a little*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I cannae say for certain if it be true, but I wanted t' make e'eryone aware.
Tanda: *takes a deep breath*
Tanda: Thank you Justicar
Bloodcryer: *sharpens his sword*
Tanda: Any others members of the Council with a report?
Rose: *pulls out her notebook and writes a few things down*
Tanda: Given no hands are waving
Tanda: we'll move on to old business
Tanda: Justicars as Meneldur stands accused of Treason and murder
Tanda: is it proper for us to seek his official removal?
Gyute': ...
Tanda: or was his flight considered resignation
Bloodcryer: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It would, but good luck findin' a Councilor t' vote upon it.
Tanda: We have one
Tanda: *looks to pabll*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That would leave it a tie, one t' one then. Ye need at least another.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I'm certain Meneldur wouldnae vote 'imself out.
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Polynikes of Yew: does the charter allow someone
Polynikes of Yew: to vote on their own censure
Polynikes of Yew: or other discipline?
Polynikes of Yew: I am just asking
Bloodcryer: *looks to the senior justicar*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Let me check t' see if that particular loop'ole was e'er closed.
Polynikes of Yew: seems to be like
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *flips a couple of pages*
Polynikes of Yew: allowing the accused
Polynikes of Yew: a vote on the jury
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks up*
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Nope...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Still as e'er it was written.
Tanda: Meaning he would have the right to speak to charges
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: A Councilor maintains 'is vote up until bein' removed or convicted o' a crime.
Polynikes of Yew: fine
Polynikes of Yew: but he has to be present
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Thus they are allowed a vote on their own censure as well.
Polynikes of Yew: to exercise that right
Polynikes of Yew: correct?
Tanda: He would have to be given notice
Polynikes of Yew: *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye, but one vote in favor is still nay two thirds o' the seated Council.
Tanda: and an opportunity to speak in his own defense
Polynikes of Yew: I agree
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: 'e's already spoken in 'is own defense.
Tanda: Aye
Polynikes of Yew: was just defining the situation
Tanda: true enough
Tanda: We just are short Councilors
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye.
pabII: aye
Gyute': *nods*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Nay a good sign.
Rand al'Thor: *whistles innocently*
Tanda: Perhaps Mayor Kimber's disappearance
Rose: *raises hand *
Polynikes of Yew: we have what 3 seated Councilors?
Rose: *raises hand*
Tanda: *points to Rose*
Tanda: M'lady
Rand al'Thor: *places a hand on her shoulder*
Leonidas: *glances at Rand *
Arrenathian: *relaxes back a bit*
Rose: Oh sorry
Imadii: *Pats his hand looking up at him*
Dutches: *looks back and smiles*
Rose: Nothing to do with Councilor Meneldur
Rose: But I found a body the other day
Shileena Undine: Oh we on the rest of the meeting?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Yew...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Whisperin' Winds...
Rose: And was wondering if there were any investigations.
Shileena Undine: *twiddles her hand in the air*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Magincia, if ye want t' call it that at present...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: An' who knows what the situation wi' Skara Brae is now.
Rose: Oh and doesn't Councilor or former Councilor or whatever he is now
Rose: have an adjutant?
Tanda: Not that we are aware of as of yet
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Certainly, an' if that adjutant cares t' step forth, I'd enjoy it immensely.
Tanda: Katheryne was adjutant for Simon
Tanda: I know not how to reach her
Tanda: As for the body you found
Tanda: I know not if that has been investigated
Rose: It was rather gruesome actually
Rose: stabbed twice and staked out as if for display
Tanda: and where abouts was the body
Rose: At the Skara crossroads
Tanda: I will certainly have this looked into
Rose: You know the ones that lead to Britain?
Tanda: if they were not aware
Shileena Undine: *twists her hand in the air some more*
Tanda: I have never been personally to Britannia on foot
Rose: Oh you never know where you might find interesting people or headlines
Tanda: But I’m sure there are members of the Military that know of where you speak
Rose: *giggles*
Tanda: The lass in blue
Tanda: Shileena
Shileena Undine: Ooooo
Shileena Undine: I am the Water Elemental Shileena..
Imadii: *looks over at Shileena*
Shileena Undine: Servant to Amirah Imadii of Nujel'm
Shileena Undine: And..
Shileena Undine: *holds up newspaper*
Shileena Undine: I see that you keep your islands secure..
Shileena Undine: Evil running amok in Magincia and now Skara Brae..
Shileena Undine: Is certainly not how business is done is it?
Shileena Undine: My Mistress would like me to ask this gathering..
Rose: *sits up a little straighter and grins*
Shileena Undine: How anyone can be expected to feel safe..
Shileena Undine: In the sea, in the air , on land or in the ether..
Tanda: It is certainly not preferred that situations shift from peace to war
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Shileena Undine: I certainly o not..
Arrenathian: Your words are venom my watery witch.
Gyute': ... .
Tanda: *nods he is next*
Shileena Undine: But then I just swim!
Shileena Undine: *giggles*
Rand al'Thor: *raises hand*
Shileena Undine: *throws down the newspaper*
Tanda: M'lord after Justicar Fl'Gith
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: M'lady...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Much like the Isle o' Nujel'm, it is impossible t' police e'ery alleyway, e'ery buildin',
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: e'ery minute o' e'ery day.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I see few askin' what t' do about a vampire roamin' the desert isle...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Though some might ask why a vampire would WANT t' be on a desert isle in the first
Arrenathian: *rubs his chin*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: place... nor does anyone question th' passin' o' Mondainites or other pirates through the Isle
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: as well.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I doubt any would attend a meet o' the fine Isle and ask such questions o' its leadership,
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: as we understand it is impossible to be omnipotent o' all actions wi'in one's land.
pabII: *smirks*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I would suggest such the same be true for Britannia... Tokuno... and elsewhere as well.
Gyute': ...
Tanda: M'lord al'Thor
Rand al'Thor: *speaks calmly*
Rand al'Thor: I must say..I would love the idea that we could settle every issue that
Rand al'Thor: came into our land..
Rose: *looks over at rand and sighs*
Rose: Isn't he handsome?
Gyute': ...
Rand al'Thor: If it was in our power Miss Undine to fix everything we would...
Rand al'Thor: Please believe that...
Rand al'Thor: But we are not the Creator nor the Light..
Rand al'Thor: We do what we can...
Rand al'Thor: How we can..
Rand al'Thor: We will fall short...
Shileena Undine: Certainly you can do more than nothing against a host of Atalan and Empire..
Rand al'Thor: But I promise we will fix any trouble that’s come...
Rand al'Thor: We have done it before...
Rand al'Thor: We will do it again..
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Much like Nujel'm did durin' it's last invasion?
Rand al'Thor: Britannia's strength never gives...
Rand al'Thor: *nods to the Justicar*
Polynikes of Yew: *raises hand*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I'm sorry... that was Britannia that drove 'em out an' gave ye yer freedom back, wasnae it?
Shileena Undine: This has nothing to do with Nujel'm..
Arrenathian: Ra’Dian that is enough
Imadii: That is not in question....
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Then why are you 'ere?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks to Arrenathian*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Yer right... it is enough.
Imadii: I have never denied the assistance the BAF did for the people of Nujel'm
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Enough pointin' fingers at Britannia.
Imadii: *sighs*
Tanda: Grand Marshall
Arrenathian: Hold thy tongue elf
Imadii: Tis not pointing fingers but asking questions, for the betterment of us all
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Rather than comin' an' bein' informative, they come wi' accusations.
Gyute': ...
Arrenathian: *looks to Ra*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: And what if I do not?
Polynikes of Yew: *waits for everyone to shut up*
Tanda: *raps stick on the floor*
pabII: *sighs*
Arrenathian: YOU Will only continue to waste precious time of this council
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: And we elected ye king when?
Polynikes of Yew: *crosses arms and looks angry*
Arrenathian: *smiles*
pabII: children please!
Bloodcryer: *chuckles*
Tanda: The Grand Marshall has the floor
Tanda: Can we please continue?
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you Chancellor
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *stands and stares at Arrenathian*
Polynikes of Yew: I thank Rand for trying to answer
pabII: i would like to hear what the grand Marshall has to say
Tanda: *looks back to Arren then to Ra'Dian*
Polynikes of Yew: but we are not impotent
Polynikes of Yew: just because you do not see action
Arrenathian: *listens to Polynikes*
Polynikes of Yew: does not mean none is being taken
Polynikes of Yew: Is the problem solved
Polynikes of Yew: no
Polynikes of Yew: It is being given our principle effort at this time
Polynikes of Yew: If you do not feel safe
Polynikes of Yew: fence sitters
Polynikes of Yew: hide in your homes
Polynikes of Yew: til we clean up this
Polynikes of Yew: yet again
Polynikes of Yew: another mess
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: But please
Polynikes of Yew: do not
Gyute': ...
Polynikes of Yew: come wringing your hands
Polynikes of Yew: and whining
Polynikes of Yew: when you offer nothing
Polynikes of Yew: please
Polynikes of Yew: do not waste my time
Polynikes of Yew: or the Councils
Polynikes of Yew: action is being taken
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
pabII: hear hear
Imadii: *Smiles sweetly at him*
Polynikes of Yew: already effective raids have been made into
Polynikes of Yew: the Spider city
Polynikes of Yew: causing many Drow losses
Polynikes of Yew: we will not tell you
Polynikes of Yew: or our enemies where we will strike
Polynikes of Yew: or when
Polynikes of Yew: all of you
Polynikes of Yew: I beseech you to render us what aid you hav4e
Polynikes of Yew: failing that
Polynikes of Yew: stick close to your homes while we deal with this.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *leans over to Tanda*
Polynikes of Yew: I mean no disrespect
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *whispers* And just WHAT is Arrenathian's function here?
Polynikes of Yew: and I understand everyone's concern
Polynikes of Yew: the wheels of war
Tanda: *whispers concerned citizen*
Polynikes of Yew: are not totally in anyone person's control
Polynikes of Yew: *smiles*
Polynikes of Yew: That is all I have for the group at this time.
Gyute': ...
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *whispers* I wasn't aware Concerned Citizen was a Seat on the Council.
Imadii: *Leans forward*
pabII: thank you grand Marshall
Tanda: Thank you Grand Marshall
Tanda: I appreciate your clarification
Tanda: *whispers to Ra'Dian didn't know where he sat made much difference*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises an eyebrow and looks at Tanda*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: That's new.
Gyute': ...
Tanda: It is just a chair is what I meant
pabII: *shakes head*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *chuckles*
Arrenathian: *grins*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Aye, an' ye'd say that if Mondain walked in too, I'm certain.
Tanda: Am I any less chancellor sitting on bench in the assembly?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: It's a bit disrespectful t' just take a seat wheree'er.
Tanda: Perhaps
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *shrugs*
Tanda: I will grant you that
Tanda: just seemed a smaller battle
Tanda: than others that face us right now
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *looks to Gyute'*
Gyute': *looks up from her pampflete*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: M'lady... I wish ye nae t' strain yer back... please 'ave my seat.
Arrenathian: My point exactly tanda
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *points to it*
Gyute': Oh that is too Kind M'lord
Gyute': i accept
Arrenathian: If all this council can worry about is seats and not the people
Gyute': *smiles*
Tanda: In the agenda
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Arrenathian, ye 'ave but three points... two on yer ears, an' one on yer 'ead... an' their about
Arrenathian: YOU might as well leave you children out for the orcs
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: as close t' valid as ye 'ave ever managed t' get.
pabII: *raises hand
Tanda: Do I have to chain the two of you in separate corners?
Tanda: *looks from one to the other*
Arrenathian: NO Ma'am
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Please do... it would at least distance me from that sorry excuse fer an elf.
Arrenathian: I shall leave
Rose: *giggles and writes in her notebook*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: He's got the manners o' a troll.
Tanda: Councilor Pabll
pabII: *raises hand*
Gyute': ..
Arrenathian: We will speak later sir
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Not if I see you first.
Tanda: Councilor Pabll
Setatabon: *mutters under his breath*
pabII: no need now M’lady thank you
Tanda: *Nods*
Tanda: There is a rough draft
Tanda: of what was discussed last meeting
Setatabon: *looks at Imadii and smiles*
Tanda: about removing the Temple of Mondain
Tanda: from being eligible for service to the realm
Tanda: Now thus far the only feedback I have gotten
Tanda: has been by messenger
Tanda: from the Templar
Gyute': *looks up*
Tanda: As we do not have quorum
Tanda: to vote on it
Tanda: I wished to see if any had read it or had any thoughts?
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: Justicar please
Rose: *raises a hand*
Tanda: *nods Rose will be next*
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Well... fer one... it's a bit wide sweepin'.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I'd personally limit the scope t' the Mondainites.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Otherwise, in six months, a year, a decade... someone upon this Council will find reason
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: t' exclude someone else from service because they wear blue shoes, or comb their 'air in a
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: treasonous manner.
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: Maybe tis just the wordin', but it leaves a lot o' room fer concern.
Polynikes of Yew: blue hair perhaps
Tanda: M'lady Rose
Polynikes of Yew: *grins*
Rose: Pardon me for making a comment, cause I don't normally...
Gyute': ...
Rose: But when I read the whole thing it really seemed to me to bar anyone from serving
Rose: that doesn't follow the virtues.
Rose: What about the mother goddess, or the dragon gods?
Setatabon: *raises hand*
Rose: They way its worded
Tanda: *nods to Setatabon he is next*
Rose: would bar them from service.
Rose: That's all, thanks.
Tanda: Setatabon
Setatabon: I must say that I agree with Rose and RaDian...
Setatabon: I mean what is next there are followers of Blackthorn...
Setatabon: Do we exclude them?
Rose: *looks back and notices Calibus' shield*
Rose: *nods*
Rose: *looks forward*
Setatabon: And.... well I don't share all beliefs you normally do as well I am what I am does that bar me?
Grey Ghostbuck: *whistles for his puppy*
Grey Ghostbuck: *rubs her ears*
Seraphina: *sits*
Gyute': ...
Setatabon: Just wondering?
Grey Ghostbuck: *looks over to his mother and smiles genuine*
Tanda: It was not the intent
Tanda: but that was the Templar's feeling also
Tanda: is that in its current form
Tanda: it leaves it to open to interpretation
Tanda: and a means to exclude any at will or whim
Seraphina: *rests head on his lap*
Tanda: Thus a re-write is in order
Tanda: Thank you
Grey Ghostbuck: *pets her softly*
Tanda: Any other items of old business before we move on?
Tanda: *looks around*
Seraphina: *wags tail*
Tanda: In new business
Tanda: news is spreading
Tanda: of a strange woman
Tanda: muttering in the streets of Britannia
Tanda: also that she has been seen in the land of Malas
Tanda: and Nujel'm if I am not mistaken
Gyute': *Raises hand Timidly*
Tanda: M'lady
Gyute': I ahh... i never met the Old hag, but i hear she accepts a type of Donation...
Grey Ghostbuck: *feeds the pup some rations*
Seraphina: *takes the rations*
Gyute': ..thats, ah, all
Tanda: donations? She is a beggar?
Gyute': like i said i never met her, i hear she is insane
Gyute': *taps her head*
Tanda: Wonder if she's kin of mine
Gyute': *laughs*
Grey Ghostbuck: We should show her compassion
Tanda: *looks around*
Tanda: any one else know anything of her?
Grey Ghostbuck: *hooks a letter to the collar of the puppy*
Tanda: Seeing no hands
Tanda: I would like to ask folks to keep their eyes and ears open
Gyute': *nods*
Tanda: be cautiously friendly
Tanda: or curious
Tanda: I would not want to see anyone harmed
Tanda: Any other new items
Tanda: needing to be addressed?
Tanda: From the Assembly?
Tanda: no one?
Seraphina: *looks at the door*
Tanda: announcements
Tanda: is next
Grey Ghostbuck: *tugs ont eh pup's collar*
Tanda: Any one in the hall with an announcement
Tanda: I have three brief bits of news
Tanda: one a reminder there is a public calendar
Tanda: in the High Council Public office
Tanda: to be used or referenced
Tanda: for upcoming meetings, events
Tanda: I am working to build or reconstruct
Tanda: the history of the birth of the High Council
Gyute': *listens*
Tanda: As a rather large anniversary looms near
Seraphina: *sniffs book*
Tanda: May 15th This Council
Tanda: will host its' 200th meeting
Tanda: I would like to have most of the history complied by then
Tanda: and host a modest celebration
Tanda: due to the circumstances of the realm
Tanda: celebration with reckless abandon seems inappropriate
Tanda: Just refreshments, fellowship
Tanda: and reflection
Tanda: still contemplating
Tanda: any ideas please contact me
Seraphina: *paws at collar*
Tanda: any other bits of news?
Rand al'Thor: *looks to the dog and tilts his head*
Grey Ghostbuck: *shhh Vahka*
Gyute': ..
Tanda: Seeing no hands
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *raises hand*
Tanda: or calls for the floor
Tanda: Justicar
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: I just wanted ye t' see a 'and before ye adjourned.
Princess Page: **Yawns**
Ra'Dian Fl'Gith: *winks*
Tanda: *Smiles*
Tanda: We are adjourned then

OOC Yellow* changed to blue* is pre-meeting fellowshipping and bantering
Purple was my detecting hidden, Daegoth is dead the word "Ghost" I added to clarify for plotline purposes.
