Balazar takes an intrest in the longsword infused with light and pens a response*

Sir i see an Iron longsword that you have, if perchance that you purchased this sword from the Orc bashers I would be interested in seeing if it was one that I unfortunately traded long ago, as it had some sentimental value to me. please respond.

........continued.
Just then i noticed Quantum cone into the temple and say sa short prayer and come over to Michaelis and I. He asked to sit beside us and greeted Michaelis as if they were old friends. I dare think the places that they have traversed In Torans name, just as Michaelis spoke of as well going places where  ever great adventurers dare tread.

Well anyways I told  Michaelis about what Lyons had said to me, "not caring about what others think of you but what Toran thinks of you."
after i told Michaelis this he said Lyons was correct, that we need to protect the people of this world should they wish it or not, and also to instill confidence in them as their protectors and our churches as there safe havens. As a Champion you may be hated more for what you do is inconvenience to there lust and greeduntil the time comes where you are needed by them. But then our duty is not to expect reward or praise, because it happens all to often he said.
I commented that I've seen honest people from those i expected it not. Just then Quantum mentioned the name Hurm.. I asked him what was that all about, and he retold a story of a party going to revisit a black dragonhe was in this party and chose to leave thinking that the dragon would harm the people of Hurm, and knowing he would get arrested when he returned to Hurm. Well his story goes on that he was arrested but later let out to protect the poeple of Hurm when the dragon attacked it. after the dragon left the city Quantum returned to the guards and they promptly threw him back in jail.

Apparently Michaelis wasent aware of this and wanted further details, well the two talked long about an Oak tree, pirates, Driuds a treaty of some sort, a cauldron, and some nature seeds, all of which i was thoroughly confused by this time, I said a silent prayer for wisdom in these matters of great importance. Well afterward Michaelis wanted Quantum to file a full report wit hthte church and asked to retire for the evening. I stayed at teh temple and prayed after the two had left and thought on all we had talked about.

In my silent prayers i know not what my future holds but i pray i can uphold the name of Toran  as these two great leaders have done thus far. Alas my writing hand grows weary until the next great adventure in the life of one paladin ..of Toran.

I came to the temple today and prayed. I asked for wisdom. Wisdom with all ive gone through and thats been spoken to me. I prayed that someone would help me understand what is a champion and what does it take to be chosen by Toran. For i do his will I am his sword to carry out justice and meet injustices. and who should come into the temple but Michaelis.

 I heard  footsteps pass me as i knelt on the steps and saw him praying over the bindstone to Toran. I rose to his warm greeting and knew this was my answered prayer.
 We greeted each other and he asked me to sit with him at the steps to the alter.
well I asked him my question what defines a champion and who are chosen? He went on to tell me it can be equated with somewhat of a reputation.I said I desired to be one of the chosen no matter the cost. He grinned a bit at this statement and i felt that he too had made many such decisions that would be a heavy burden to follow this through.
 
I told him how there were shining lights for Toran, but sadly those lights have faded. they  have chosen things of the world over Toran. Sadly he agreed many have fallen to the hurt of the world.
 He said that Toran chooses his followers by issues of the heart for Toran knows there hearts are ready for the sacrifices they must make for his name.

He went on to tell me what faith is ..that it is fickle if you judge your worth by laws rules and reputation.
He asked me why i serve Toran, and i had only one though that has kept my hand steady through these years. To do that which is good that is all I know and that is all I care to know. He asked me why i serve Toran? and i had only one thought come to mind, to do that which is good and that it is all I know it is all I care to know.
He said My life would be devoted to toran, no family to call upon and a life of reaching into the dark places. Since i was adopted by teh church this is al I have known Toran has adopted me Now i feel i must adopt him not for following laws and regulation but out of Love and adoration. he said that i would be required to go into places that even the bravest of heroes fear to tread adn only one thing comes to mind, that i am here to serve ,"and so I shall", he said.

He also said that we are his followers and his hands we are his swords and he our shields, that by his will he moves us, then he confirmed mt prayers by saying that his will brought me here, I felt overjoyed in knowing that he guides my steps however small they may be.

I told him how i felt that Toran had tested me adn all that happened with Mylindra adn where my heart will go for that is what i called her ..my heart. afterwards he asked me what i felt called to do.
I said to be a shining Light in the dark places to polish the tarnished name of Toran into what it once was and to be a force of good in these dark times. to bring about a change in the church for the better.
He wished he has help such as I long ago as he has wished for the very same thing many times beforeadn went on to tell me about people who drive away those who wish change for the better.
He went on to tell me about 2 types of people that drive away followers, The Obvious, drunks and debaucherers and those that follow torans dogma without understanding why they do. These people have not prepared themselves  for the times when they will encounter a situation where there is no real right answer, no clear way to prevail the line between black adn white never fades and while admirable can drive people away.

I looked down at my arms upon the tatoos that i put there long ago. So sharp and contrasting they were when I got them clear and defined just as he spokeof ., But now they were aged and fading, where once was black and white now a black ran into the white,and vice versa, around my forarms it went circling it on each side, but now it had turned grey, white bleeding into black and black into white. Im starting to understand that between black and white there is a grey area. that which is neither right or wrong. And I go on to wear such a reminder. One on each arm. the arm that carrys his shield  as I am his sword.

I hate to be the bad guy here but you guys make it sound Soo easy ..everyone forgot to mention that the crafters badge is 1500 True, and it takes a new player awhile to save that kind of money. Oh and a strong ox is another 100 as well. then theres the price for all the tools you break and supplies you need while mining sewing tinkering cutting and sawing and infusing and tanning.

Excellent recipies though. Very detailed just like betty crocker. I like the "(may) have" X item. lol

It was Quantum that told us OOC after we had returned from Nameless dungeon and rolled for the items, that it was not to be sold or traded. I didnt stop and think at the time,.. Well what are we supposed to do with it anyways?..

It was an awsome time down there Thanks Quantum I never really knew how deep it goes, The party worked well together you know who you are!  I counted about four levels after the door to the crypt, Wow. !! More than you bargained for thats for sure,a great dungeon !
 Well thanks for the enlightenment on this folks, hope this helps someone else.

The opposite will hold true as well.. think about this.  How much time have you spent in a tavern Rp'ing at teh freelancers or Leillon arms,lets say 2 hours in RL. That means you stayed at the bar for near 2 days or am i reading that right?

Sometimes charts and graphs were just meant to keep us warm by starting a good fire with them.

I purchased some powerful weapon enhancements against undead not long ago from Quantum who worked at the orc Bashers shop, and I was able to prove there worth with Quantum, Erk, Ferrit, Mando, and some other brave adventurers where we penetrated into the forgotten dungeon. I had never known that the temple was that large below. We went down several levels it seemed to kill a Lich. We were victorious after cleansing so much undad and laying it to fianl rest, my sword arm grew weary. I found strength in our numbers and watched Quantum lead us deeper and deeper. I took It all in, learning how to fight then regroup, rest then continue on. after the battle with the Lich we removed a key from its neck and opened a sarcophogus where we found a few epic weapons. I am happy to report that i am the new owner of one such weapon. It seems to be a whip with a unholy fire upon it. I scarcely know what to do with it but Im sure in due time Toran will reveal that to me.

We returned to the surface where we drew lots for the items and that is how i came into possesion of it. I tied Miss Ferrit the first time and we tried again and then i prevailed. I must say it a learning experience down there the whole time watching the teamwork and comradery. I did on several ocassions try to make jovial comments and laugh to keep the tensions low during some tense moments down there.

It was refreshing to gulp in fresh air after being down there so very long.
I was thinking of speaking to Quantum about becoming one of Torans champions though i dont really know how to ask him or do i need to ask him,I feel as if I am a champion already, doing the things that I am called to do and doing it successfully as I have done. I will ask him this! What makes a paladin, a Champion of the faith?

She has given me her reply and spoken her decision.

 It grieved me somewhat after our departure  in finding out that she no longer desired our relationship to blossom further. She said she needed to have a lunch with this fellow to make her decision final. Either way she has won her heart or is it that she wanted it to be won by another, someone to fill a desire of that I seemed incapable of. Either way we will no longer be the same again. I am almost glad somewhat because she has found happiness although not with me or in me, she is happy with her choice and so am I.

 I feared from the beginning that us together would only tear at my desires to be committed to Toran. She has asked that we remain friends adn for that I am glad, I am sorry for the loss and happy at teh same time. Its hard to explain on paper I can only feel it in my heart that this is right. I am young and my friendly behaviors have reaped fully at the expense of another. Though i dont know what she really saw in my in the first place, I treated her no different than i would anyone else, saving her in battle fighting by her side, aiding whenever possible, and treating her as a lady as all ladies should be treated unless there actions deem otherwise. *shakes his head slowly,thinking*

I guess its time I moved on. I know where my heart really lies, and that is In torans will, performing the duties of a Paladin whatever they may be, perhaps after all it was a test from Him. He was trying to see where my heart really was. Dedicated to Toran or to the whims of the world and its desires. If it was a test I am thankful that I passed for I truly know I am dedicated to Toran. *He lays down his quill and gathers his belongings from the table. He makes his way to the temple at Fort Llast. Getting on his knees he looks upward and raises his hands high he repeats the vow he made at his inaguration for all to hear that would listen all the while knowing that Toran lstens to those that follow him and enjoy His will upon there lives first and foremost*.

I departed the temple that day with a desire and passion like no other i roamed the lands fighting evil wherever it stood and replaced it with a cleansing from Toran. That very day Toran gave me that which i sought after. Renewed strength, and vitality.Powerful spells of great strength and protection in fighting evils like ever I had felt before. I am truly His as He is my strength. I will bring his word to those that dont know it and they will see the power that resides upon Torans chosen. I go to sleep today knowing my purpose.

My return to fighting has brought me pain. Sadly my first encounter with my heart Mylindra had brought me unexpected pain. She has told me another suitor is trying to win her heart. She is confused as to which way to go, she desires our love to be stronger but these months that i have been away I have slipped form her desires. She no longer greets me in the same way with a hug and a kiss with fleeting hints of marriage only a smile. It is with a troubled heart that i cause this pain in her as she ran from my presence that day after i asked her not to discuss this further as it brought more pain upon both of us. as it seems it only made the situation worse. I searched the lande for her but alas i did not find her.  I placed a note on her door in Leilon and hope for the situation to improve between us. I did tell her that the duties of a paladin were demanding as she seems to understand that but as we spoke further on this other gentleman and what i thought of it, our time together turned sour. I shall have to amend this somehow, though the only thing that i know what to do is simply give her my time, as this seems to bring her the greatest joy.
I can only hope this works and our relationship improves, If this does not i fear that i shall have to let her go or marry her as she has told me of someone else she knows is getting married, someone like us she said. a Toranite and a Rofireinite. I told her i would check into this at the temple and i have failed in that respect, fir that i am sorry. If I am to place her where she belongs than i must keep my word as due a Paladin, and due to the one that holds my heart.

*He looks up from his writing lost in thoughts of adventure and love of romance and fun, wondering if those moments will continue or they will be lost to another who desires the moments that he has experienced with his heart, his Love, .. Mylindra. For it was Her that captured his heart and took it away for herself as he was glad to let it go to her. He bows his head in solemn prayer as the dark night draws near with all that it gathers, the gloom and the darkness and askes for torans guiding light in the coming days for wisdom and maturity to do that which is right always.*

My time of many travels and long road journies has been quite diminished. I have been spending much time at home with mother and siblings here in fort Llast. weve been helping the many orphans in the streets the come to town from other cities that are much worse than here.
  Thankfully it gives me more time to focus on who I am and what my purpose is, for by helping others it helps me to understand the greater good of things. I often begin my evening prayers with my usual routine of prayers to those less fortunate than I, but later i start to think of my many travels places ive visited and roads that were full of brigands, ogres, goblins and such. what lands are these that are so frequented by these creatures. I know they need to have a home also but must it be so close to ours, and are they getting closer or are we growing bigger, taking what is not ours and encroaching into areas which are not ours. To what end will this bring but a continual war.
  perhaps someday I shall have  the resources and power to form some sort of alliance with these tribe of creatures, forming a treaty perhaps, so we dont go further into their lands and taking what is theirs, and likewise them going into our lands and killing our women and children when we are away fighting wars elsewhere. for if we do not have peace at home then we cannot make it better elsewhere for someone less unfortunate than us. This will rob us of a peaceful thought while we are away from our homes.
   These thoughts they haunt me.
 At night I close my prayer with a blessing to Mylindra, I pray for her safety and blessing physically spiritually and mentally to help guide her in these troubled times. Torans blessing of wisdom be upon his chosen in these dark times for guidance and direction for those in need, with discernment in ways to help that are a true blessing to those that need us.

*balazar closes his journal and thinks fondly of the way Mylindra calls out in battle and the funny way she calls out that she needs rest. He smiles knowing that she holds a place in her heart for him, and he too holds a place in his heart for her*.

"soon we will be at each others side again, defending the lands and fighting for freedom from the darkness that surrounds us", he says. *looking at his younger brother fast asleep in the bed beside him he closes his eyes and falls fast asleep*

Regarding some old characters (those that have been banned, deleted or unused for months) could it be posible for GM's to use old characters in a NPC fashion? Boy i sure miss some earlier characters when i first started. Just seeing the players name brings back alot of good memories.

Probably a dumb question since all things are within the realm of DM's.  

Have you ever created a persistent NPC from a deleted character or unused character?

 Did you read my message regarding 188 rillon. I would hate to have it go back up on the market. Mara is a fairly active guild member for the freelancers, though at this time shes really limited to some RL situations that are beyond my control. please reply thanks.
 as for the conversations with Dorganath they were all OOC Tells. he did recall them though.
