The Ghost you Never Knew: Tobias closes the door quietly as he exits to the streets of Leringard. He glances around quickly as the rains comes down. For the first time he is glad for the rain. He flicks the collar up on his jacket as he walks slowly towards the dock. His mind races as he stares up at the rain letting the water wash off the tears. He was being stupid.. He knew that he couldn’t have kept her, yet.. for a moment.. he had hoped.. What a foolish thing to tell her that he loved her only to hear her say that they couldn’t be together. He fights back the urge to pull his coat tighter to refute the coldness. He needed to feel anything else then what he did now. We’ll be friends.. that is what he told her and she invited him to stay and enjoy the extra benefits but, not this time.. He did the same with Kali and that pain was too much for him to endure. He couldn’t do it again. Maybe this is for the best? He thought as he continued walking. She still was in love with Nym and only thought that she loved Tobias but, said he had no passions.. no desires. He shakes his head. She was his desire; his passion but, she didn’t want to be his only one. She asked him to search himself and find what his ambition in life would be and she would help him achieve that goal and have something to build a relationship on. When she told him that he wanted so bad to lie and make up something; to not lose her. He flashes a grins and quickly turns to a snarl.. Even by himself he can’t take off the mask. His fist clench tightly as a quiet rage was building inside him.. Why am I so empty?.. Why do I not have anything I want to accomplish? He stood there in the rain trying to calm the inner storm. “She did it for you Toby.. She wants you to live and love being alive. You can’t do that without passions or desires” he whispers to himself.. “She hasn’t given up on you and if she hasn’t.. you shouldn’t either..” As he said it he prayed to any gods that would listen that it was true. What defines you Toby? What are your loves in life? Passions? Desires? He repeated these questions in his mind.. His first thought was her. It would always be her. Then he thought of Raz and his passions and lengths he has gone to accomplish them. He wanted to be there for Raz and help him with his goal. but, after that though, he’d be left with nothing again… The curse then? But did he really want to give up the curse? It was the one thing that was interesting about him, that she wanted to know about.. and if there was a way to be free of it would he take it? The rain had stopped but, still tears fell. As he passes a building, Tobias slides down the wall, shoulders slumped in defeat. Your whole life has been a lie.. so deep is your hole you don’t even know yourself. Trying to fill the void with lies while the only thing it has accomplished is that emptiness has stolen your essence.. You are just a ghost in a shell that is no longer yours.. In the darkness of your heart, you have no name to call your own. He gritted his teeth.. He knew that was the real reason Zari could not love him. She couldn’t love a lie … But, she wanted to love the elf hidden by those lies or to at least to know him without the mask. Maybe that is what she was trying to tell him.. She said that she was more scared of him then of Nym.. Tobias thought now that she was scared that he would let her down. That there would be nothing behind the mask.. Lies were easy.. The truth was hard and scared him. Yet he was willing to show her where the lies had started. To pull off the mask and be vulnerable. To fill the void with truth and gain back what was stolen from him. Find yourself… That is your goal. Strip away the lies one at a time and leave the masks behind. Don’t hide from who you were meant to be.. What if he wasn’t meant to be with her? Could he still move on without her? Tobias let out a heavy sigh knowing that with her or without her, he would need to do it for himself. This could not be something he did for her or it would be a just be another lie.. Tobias tucked his knees close to his chest and wrapped his arms around them rocking back and forth as he did when he was a young elf lying in the cell waiting for his captors to come. For the first time in a very long time, he was scared to be alone in the darkness.

She tenderly places her hand over his thumb and pulls it a way and whispers softly so the family cannot hear. "Thank you my minstrel.. Perhaps in another life we could have been together and happy.. But, alas.. we as the song says we are worlds apart.."
She flutters off his shoulder and reluctantly flies toward the mage's room. She pauses and turns and looks at Andrew. She smiles and says "But, at least from a distance know that you will always be in my heart my minstrel. And I hope I would be in yours.. I am small.. I wouldn't take much room."
She turns away from him and and takes a deep breath. "And know that I will forever be your pixie.. No matter how much the mage complains.."
She tilts her head back and winks toward the bard and with the last glance she darts through the air, back to her room where the mage still slumbers peacefully on his chair.

She closes her eyes and lets the music take control. She sways lightly; her wings fluttering..Her wings beat faster as the music comes louder and intense.. Slowly she rises off the piano, twirling in the air. Her lips part and her voice matches his rhythm of his violin.. "Worlds apart; We've finally meet.." Her voice is soft but, alluring. "You sent me sailing into your arms.." She dances deftly in the air around Andrew drawing his eyes to her.. " In your warm embrace, There I will find no harm.." Little by little she move closer to him still in her dance. "Without you, I am incomplete..."
Closer she comes and she stretches out her hand and strokes his cheek as she passes.. "Hear my voice on the wind calling out your name, I am the voice of your desire." As she passes across the field of his vision she smiles lightly and her voice grows in strength and more enticing. "Come good sir, come and dance in my flame, Take my hand as the fire grows higher.."
She lingers in his view, swaying in rhythm of his bow strokes, her movement graceful and beguiling. "I'm the light of your earth, I will give you sight to your eyes.." She cups her hand to her chin and blows lightly as the pixie dust flutters from her hand. "Here at the moment of our birth, With your new vision, I have been stripped of my disguise."
She slides forward in the air toward his shoulder and delicately lands. Her voice is faint as if whispering to a lover. " Feel the rhythm of my heart, Do you hear the lover's call?. " she steps closer to his ear. "Worlds apart; Our love they will condemn." Her hand touches his cheek and strokes it lightly at first but then she leans her body into him, holding him. "Alas, this is my requiem.. But, let's make it a sweet, sweet goodbye. Sing ,Sing me to sleep.. It will be our only time.." He can feel something cool and wet touch his face. "As our eyes close, you will not see me weep."

She giggles a bit before speaking. Her demeanor cool and relaxed and she purrs "Mm You may call me Lynessa Wind m'lord and I believe you know my master, Celador Blackleaf? He wasn't the one whistling at your.." she pauses a moment to find the word. "..physique.."
She smiles lightly as the looks him up and down. "And might I had you look rather delicious this evening.." She tucks her legs under her and lays on the piano.. "I'm very eager to see the song I inspire..."

She clears her throat lightly at first to get the bards attention. As he turns he sees a beautiful pixie in a exotic dress that barely falls past her midsection. She sits on top the piano with her legs crossed and a finger in her mouth eyeing him as a prize.
"You play very well minstrel.. Each note pulls at my heart.." Her words come out as a light whisper but get stronger as she gains courage. "Do you think you could possibly play one more song for me?" She bats her eyes at the bard and gives him an enchanting smile. There is something dangerous and mischievous behind the look she gives him. After a short moment, her eyes never leaving his she says pleadingly. "Please?" As she gestures at the piano with her hand, inviting him closer.
There she sits, biting at her lower lip, arms propping up her body as she waits for his response.

The latch finally comes free and she finally struggles to push the door open. With another curse she darts out of the room and into the shadows to stalk her prey...
As she flutters deftly out of the door she catches a glimpse of her mark as he heads to off to the stage.. The pixies whispers to herself.. "Just a bit closer to hear him better.. to gaze upon his eyes and look upon his soul.. to see if he is wearing tight pants.." She covers her mouth to suppress a giggle. Then she zips to the shadows to pursue her desire..

I actually have at the ready enough cure essences to cover your contract.
I can usually be found at the Silver Buckle or if my work carries me to Mistone, I can be found in Center.
Best regards,
Celador

In my opinion there are enough rewards for players especially now with the autoXP, WL XP wands, General xp awards for good RP, GM Quest rewards, and of course kudo's. Also lets not forget at the end of the Dragon Storm Campaign everyone got a level and then at the end of the year the the double xp for quest and 1.5 for killing monsters. For me that's enough. Really I am just content with hearing/reading at the end of the night. "Thanks man! I really enjoyed RPing with you!" That always brings a smile to my face and fills me with pride.

My Desert Rose,
I am in high hopes that this letter finds you well and in good company. My spirits are elevated as I come closer to finding a cure for this blight.
I have had my meeting with Andrew as we discussed over our first days together and many magical sunrises and sunsets. What he told me was along the same conclusions I have come up from my test. Now we work on a way to revitalize the soil. I wish to share what I've learned with you but, I fear to put it in writing in case this letter does not reach you but, trust when we are together I will share all that he told to me. I have agreed to assist him and his staff to work on a plot of land to see if we can re-fertilize the soil. Due to this most of my time will be spent on Alindor. It brings me great sadness that I will be away with you for longer than I anticipated but, like I said before I must give it my all for you, Melaa, our friends, and all of Layonara.
Over the past couple of days I have been to several of the temples in Mariners Hold but, still nothing that calls to my heart. The search continues I guess but, I did hear about a temple of Aragen south of Mariners Hold. If the weather permits and if your patients and staff could do without you for a couple of weeks I would love to meet you and Melaa at the Buckle and we could journey there together. Get a chance to spend more time with you and your daughter on the open road with the wind at our backs.
Oh and I think Lynessa has a crush on Andrew the bard. She spends most of her time spying on him and when she is with me she won't stop talking about his voice, eyes and his butt.. mostly she talks about his butt.. Every time he bends over she whistles and cat calls but, he just sees me and gives me the oddest looks.. Thank the gods for silence spell or he might have thrown me out or worse; invited me to dinner..
And...there is another Poetr! They breed like rabbits.. Perhaps the earth could take a leaf out of their book how to be fertile... Hells bells they could populate a whole city..
I am looking forward to seeing you two in a couple of weeks and I wish upon you safe travels and safe waters as you set out.
Love,
Celador

Celador enters the Silver Buckle and glances around looking for a familiar face. He does not see the man that he has traveled to see so he heads straight to the bar and lowers his hood. He looks over the bar staff before speaking making sure he has their attention.
"Pardon me, I was hoping I would be able to find Andrew Reid here. I believe he is expecting me? The name is Celador Blackleaf. Perhaps anyone of you might know where I could find him, if at all possible?"

CB, right back at you. With you and Alatriel, I cant tell you how much I have been amazed at the quality of RP you two dish out. It's really like a drug I can't get enough of
Kudo's to you both!
And a Kudo's to Fern (Serissa).. Celador really is starting to become protective of that gnome.
Really enjoy the RP sessions with her as well.

A rumbling snoring can be heard from the main level of the alchemist tower near Hlint. Celador hard at it. Sleeping. The chair he rest in is cocked back against the wall as three retorts and calcinator devices are in process on different tables. Moraken has already retired to his quarters. The only one awake is a pixie who is darting back and forth from the tables checking on the progress of each sample.
Every now and then she glances back at the mage slumbering in his chair. A slight grin flashes on her face every time she looks back at the young mage. She whispers quietly aloud to no one but, herself “All work and no play makes for a very tired wizard..” She zips around Celador and picks up some scrolls that are laying upon the floor. She moves them to one of the tables and opens one and begins to read.
Dear Andrew,
I hope you are well and forgive me for not contacting you sooner. It seems time has gotten away with me because of my studies. I have been back for four months now and I’m most interested in hearing the story of how the land has been infected with this blight. Also I have come up with a theory which I am testing now and would dearly care to listen to your opinions and suggestions.
If it would be convenient for you, I would like to perhaps meet at your inn and discuss this matter with you in person. As well as that, I’d most love to hear about the happenings in your life and any other gossip you’d like to share.
P.S. Also have you found a judge for your little get together for your fashion show? If not I would case my ballet to be the last judge.
Celador
Lynessa wrinkles her nose and glances back over at the mage still snoring and scoffs. “Oh Celador when will you realize you have no fashion sense.” She rolls up the scroll and ties it and sets it back down on the table. Then she looks at the next letter and reads.
Dearest Rose,
I humbly request an audience with you to discuss and urgent matter in regards to the famine and hopes your cards could lead me to some answers. As well I hope this time that we are together we can catch up on things that have transpired with our lives. I’m truly most interested on how your multiple talents have progressed since my absence. Please respond and let me know if by chance we can schedule a meeting.
Celador
Lynessa rolls her eyes as she finishes the letter. “Mumbo jumbo hocus pocus if you ask me and a waste of time but, I ain’t your keeper. Do what you wish wizard.” She takes the second letter and rolls it up as well.
She gathers up the scrolls and checks over the tables one more time making sure all is in order. She flies over toward the slumbering mage. She pauses a moment and watches him sleep peacefully. A smile stretches across her face as she gazes upon him. She flies closer whispering softly in his ear. “Wakey wakey wizard..You need to keep and aye on the last three samples. I’m off to deliver your letters.”
Celador flutters his eyes open and glances around. He leans forward and puts all four feet of the chair back on the floor. He runs his fingers through his hair and ask. “How long have I been asleep?” “Only two hours. You have one more hour on the first table to go and we setup the other tables to be an hour and behind each other.” He nods yawning lightly. He reaches for the his staff laying against the wall and rises slowly. He looks over at the pixie who has a huge grin on her face. He cocks an eyebrow. “Why are you grinning at me like that?”
She responds quickly. “Oh nothing. I better get going I don’t want to miss the post master.” She flies around the wizard once or twice before speaking. “Oh and I need to pick up some more ink.. Somehow we ran all out.”
She whistles innocently as she passes the wizard. Celador mutters. “Out of ink? That was a brand new bottle.. What in the devil where you doing with it?”
She giggles “Oh just drawing..”
“Drawing? I don’t see any paper?” He says still trying to figure out what happen to ink. Lynessa cackles “I know..” She exits the tower. Her giggling can still be heard outside.
For a moment he just stares at the exit trying to comprehend what she was hinting at. “Bloody hells, I hope she didn’t draw on the walls! Moraken will kill us!” He wipes his face muttering. “Too early to deal with her nonsense..” He then looks at his hand which is covered in purple ink and a sudden realization comes across his face. “That little witch!” he curses as he digs into his bag and pulls out a mirror. He appears at the reflection and sees her handy work. His eye lids are covered in purple ink and around his face he has a purple beard… On his forehead four words are written in purple ink. He squints trying to decipher the pixies writing..
“I”,
“We”,
“Todd”.
“It”,
Over and over he repeats the words. In that order.. “I, We, Todd, It, I, We, Todd, It..”
Moraken comes out of his chambers looking at the mage with purple eye shadow and matching beard repeating this. He flashes a grin before his scowl returns and says. “Son, you might want to go see the healer about your mental health and It might be best that once you’ve finished your last batch of whatever you are concocting, you find another place to conduct your experiments..” And with that he turns around and enters his chambers again.
Celador stands there dumbfounded, blinking at what just has transpired.. He mutters “Oh Lynessa, you are so going to get it..”
He lifts his robes to his face trying to remove as much of the ink as he can and returns to the alchemy tables.

Ahh! That bit I didn't think about. O.o Since I been awarded with RP xp quite a few times so for the last week it has just being on going. Thanks for the added research Dorg! And appreciate the quick response!

This happened last night while in Blackford Castle I used the remembering orb before I logged out and I was under the same assumption that it would fix it self with the next login. In an attempt to restore the flow I rested and then ported from West Server to Central Server in hopes that would reset the auto xp.
That didn't work so I went back to West and I have been engaged with CB in RP by the campfire In Center for about an hour and it hasn't sorted out yet.
I'm going to log off again and wait 10 minutes and log back in and see if that works. If not really no big deal. I can wait until i'm awarded for good RP again.

Celador sits in the chair in Moraken’s tower with his hand in his hair muttering quietly to himself. “I must’ve been mad when I thought that this be a good idea..” Lynessa flutters down from one of the rafters eyeing the wizard curiously “ What you mean? You talking about all the research?” He scoffs. “No, I mean having you as an lab assistant! I might as well be doing it all myself!” Lynessa’s face turns red. “ Hey I would have helped but, you said it yourself you wanted to make the notes. Not my fault you are too proud and stubborn to put me to good use.” Celador grips his hair tightly and pulls at as he throws his hands up as he rises. “What help!? You hand me bags of dirt and then get all jump every time you hear a noise.” “That cat is around here somewhere. I just know it! He had a taste and he wants more!” She says as she zips up to the wizard’s face. “ And, I wouldn’t be so jumpy if you didn’t try to get him to eat me every time we walk in Hlint!” Celador ponders for a moment looking at the pixie then shrugs and says “Fair point.”
He shoo’s Lynessa out from his face as he begins to walk toward the alchemy table. “So do you even know what sample we are on now?” She stutters a moment before he speaks. “Five, we are on sample five, you cousin of a gnat.” He reaches onto the table re-positioning the retort and checking on the calcinator. “Excellent! Perhaps another hour before this sample is done.” He reaches over for his quill and dips it to the ink well and makes a couple more notes on the scroll. Lynessa flies over and lands on Celador’s shoulder leaning over looking at the notes before speaking. “So err, you know anything yet?” Celador shakes his head. “No and really I am not comparing any data yet. My goal is to get through all these samples then compare notes.. as I’ve said before. But, I think I’m missing some important information. I need to find that bard, Andrew. I think he could provide some more useful information of the blight and its origins. That is key. If we can trace where it came from and how it was created it would be much simpler to solve this enigma.”
Lynessa folds her arms and looks up to the wizard from his shoulder and speaks softly. “Why wizard, why do this? Surely there is other things we could be doing?” He rubs his eyebrow and scratches at the stubble growing on his face. “I don’t want to sit by as the people of the world suffer. I feel I know I can help and that is what I’m going to do and even if all my research fails I will be confident that I have done everything within my power to help.” He rubs at his temples and continues. “ I don’t want my conscience burden on the things I could’ve done but, didn’t. And I can hear the voices of my unborn sons calling out to me to make this world a better place for them. So I’ll push myself to the point of death to make sure I do what must be done to save the people and the lands.” Lynessa ponders that for a moment and stands up and walks across the wizard shoulder and reaches over and kisses him softly on the cheek and whispers quietly. “Thank you, Celador.” His eyebrows raise and ask “What is this? You do have a heart?” She grins and gives his ear a hard tug. “And if ye tell anyone I’ll cut off yer ear.” He rubs at his ear. “Fair enough.”
Celador reaches back and grabs the chair and scoots it up to the desk and sits down. He takes up the quill again and with his free hand reaches into his bag and pulls out another piece of paper. Lynessa looks on and curiously asks. “Now what are you doing?” He sighs lightly before answering. “ What I have should have done from the beginning.. Making a list. Now let us see.. First I want to talk to Andrew.” He scribbles on the parchment. “Then next I want to talk to clerics of Katia, Aeridin, Prunella, Folian, and Kithairien.” Celador scribbles some more on the paper. “Then after that I want to talk to the druids as they might have some better insight on what is happening to the land.” He makes another note before continuing. “Then I want to meet with that seer, Rose I believe is her name. I haven’t seen her in ages but, maybe I can get word through message board to find her.” Lynessa giggles “Seer? Really? You are putting your hope in that mumbo jumbo ?” Celador rolls his eyes “Can it shrimp, she has offered me great insight before and I’d be a fool not to try all avenues to find a cure. Even if you are skeptical.” He dips in the quill in the ink well and continues writing. He pauses a moment scratching at his forehead. “And between those meetings I’ll will head to the Great Library and the temple of Aragen. Perhaps I can find more information within their tomes.”
Moraken can be heard scoffing and muttering indecencies. Celador chuckles. “Don’t worry good sir, I saved the best for last.. But, first I need to finish getting through at least half of these samples. We still probably have a little longer on this one.. Perhaps we can speed up the testing by using more stations? Let’s see.. six hours is about average time per sample. I think we could use three stations and be done in a couple of days if we stay at it.” He turns to Lynessa and ask. “ So how bout it? Think we can do it?” She grins “Of course! Lets do it!” He grins and offers her a wink. “That a girl..”

Kudos to Feawen for delightful RP session. Oh and for putting up with his pixie.

I share both Cb's and RC's thoughts! No one runs off now worry about getting xp in for kills or hoping a GM is on awarding xp for good RP.
This is a great system that encourages RP. I have found myself looking forward to finding people a long the roadside or at a camp and engaging in some great RP. Just tonight I spent all my time enjoying a campfire discussion with Jo and Fern.
Kudo's to the Layo staff for implementing this system!

Evening Angels,
I have purchased using my store credit, two rings of bulls strength and amulet of strength. I believe the total of my purchase is five thousand six hundred and forty trues.
Please deduct my balance of credit.
