Yeah - congratulations, Haikan! You've really been rockin' the Roque and I can't think of anyone, myself included, who could match your energy in the Summer City.

Good show, man, good show.

In the Blood vision, Callara saw the man draw his hands together symbolically as well, an intense migraine enveloping her as she watched Raphaels' abused heart once more writhe within her grasp, deep in his chest.... The crowd was chanting - cheering - yelling...a smaller scale of the death cries th...

The reason for Jeet-Belan's intrusion became evident to all but the combatants - Callara blinded by choice and Raphael blinded by his strange infatuation with her - as the pair turned and moved at Raphael's lead, her blade sunk to the hilt in his side but no traces of blood yet to be seen in his tun...

"Raphael?" Jeet-Belan's voice came from the doorway as Raphael backed slowly toward it, his own defenses rising and offenses lowering as he and Callara found an unspoken rhytm like that of battle weary swordsmen calling wordlessly for flicker-long truces between strikes. Callara would hear...

To Ethau, nothing had happened - to his untrained eye, it appeared that Raphael stumbled backwards as if struck by a fist, a small stream of blood trickling from the noble's nose as his head lashed back and fore from the unseen impact. Raphael saw things differently, naturally, and his eyes narrowed...

Raphael calmly sat back in his chair listening to Callara as she explained her definitions of trust and foolishness, a smirk on his expression all the while, silently observing the nuances of her speech, expressions, body language, tone, aura, and - most importantly - her use of logic in her argumen...

Rain could almost feel the tug of the house as he ran through the front door and stumbled out into the darkened lawn, the moon looking nothing like it had the night he had re-entered Hammerlee. But, as he put more and more distance between himself and the house, things began to feel normal again, al...

Chappa listened closely, turning her head to face Taevia with a perched eyebrow when she had voiced her selection. "Rune magick?", she asked with a curious frown. "You're not a performer?" Carefully, the small woman stepped down from the cart and faced Taevia directly, waving her...

Nadia's smile broadened at the question, the huntress pleased that her rabbit was actually sniffing at the lettuce within the snare. "Well...", she replied calmly, placing a hand upon Amber's and gently patting. "I can't teach you everything, obviously...little time and..." she g...

"You are quite welcome, Gwayne, and thank you for the complements and understanding...both of me and the Mother - I have seen many a prospective priest and priestess walk through the temple doors thinking that Mother is nothing but kind and benevolant, forgetting that a rabbit torn asunder by a...

If Skylar feared that she would break the children by hugging them too hard, the children gave no such thoughts to the matter of breaking her as they burst through the door and latched on with a ferocity never before seen in nature, for even the hungriest constricter in the family of snakes held its...

Velvel nodded in agreement, made the appropriate signs, and Arnholt's companions took their leave, the meeting concluded. Brother Gentus stood at Rohan's doorway and held the door open for 'Brother Beacon', slipping in behind him as the next meating began. "Ahh, Brother Beacon, I am glad that y...

Of all of the residents, Margot, his grandmother's sister, was the only other early riser, a cloud of fumes swirling about her in the kitchen that would send even the most overstuffed eater into a renewed frenzy of hunger, the scents of spices, baked goods, and meats an invisible and intangibal hand...

"Wandering about and listening to stories is fine if you are a chronicler or a child." the ledger-writer said as the other man handed Nydar his completed pass. "But Roque's sun does not shine upon beggars and vagrants. Collect all of the stories you want, but I would also recommend yo...

Velvel nodded at the signs, making the proper ones where needed to assure Arnholt that the task would be prepared with care and executed just as carefully. It was shortly after Velvel finished his part of the conversation when Father Rohan and Brother Gentus came strolling past, the older priest's b...

Quinlan:

Looks good - skills updated as requested and relative is downgraded to deceased. Requested housing also approved.

Roque part of recess approved and noted that Maeve already skilled you. You are free to start/join threads in the city.

“You would have better luck striking him in the head with a book of magick than wakening him with a question about a book of magic, my dear...” said a female voice from behind the counter. Half a burn later, the voice grew a face as a squat woman – short even by Halfling standards – came nud...

“So...” Raphael said, his voice calm and non-mocking. “You can still see after all... Interesting.” He sat in silence, the songs of Roque d'Ancourt's avian wildlife chirping in the air beyond their terrace as Callara spoke, questioning his abilities. “The illusions? Nowhere near as fancy a...

Vighxunna listened to Gwayne's tale carefully, her smile fading only slightly, the old woman seemingly unshaken by his accounting of being in bed with not only one, but two women. And drinking. It seemed to be all in a day's work for this sprightly elderly priestess. She rose when he was done and wa...

Both men were looking at their respective papers when Nydar finally chose to observe the world around him and, as the Roque's luck would have it, interact with said world. “Name...”, said the ledger-writer, dropping down a line. “Occupation...” said the other man, grabbing a fresh pass and p...

Taevia: Sorry that my reply is even shorter, but the hour has tapped my writing skills and the recess looks good. Skills awarded and recess passed as written. Skylar Animal lore skill upgraded as requested, but the other skill stars need to be redistributed a bit as there are no rises above apprent...

Once in an anteroom, the elderly priestess pulled a kerchief from a plate of still-warm, fluffy rolls, doling out two of them on a plate and passing them to Gwayne, dishing out two for herself and taking a seat. Eyes which seemed far younger than the face they were sunken into twinkled merrily as sh...

"Mmmm..." the ledger-writer hummed as he wrote, the pass-writer scribbling along almost in unison. "Well then, Mister Artrien, you may want to check in at one of the inns - the Cliff is probably best for you, considering what you want. And yeah, I know fisherville pretty well - my wif...
