Dad,

All is well here, or as well as it can be outside of Voltrex.  I fight undead every time I can find it.  My boyfriend is an Aerdinite, so he is helpful in his ability to destroy undead.  Jumbala is getting better at making arrows for us.  Leo is doing well.  

Sorry this is so short, but there isn't a lot to report on.

Robin

Emmaline,

Eghaas admitted he loved me and that I am his girlfriend.  I am still unsure of where this is all going.  We've been dating for years now and I haven't gotten him to let his guard down enough to truly kiss me.  Like truly mean it kind of kiss.  He does think I'm smart and beautiful and blah blah blah.  Guess we will see how that goes.

I actually tried flirting today.  It didn't work well.  Guess that is what I get for trying to be something I'm not.  

I did make one other friend.. I think.  A Wild Elf.  He's.. odd, but he at least acts like a real elf.  That is in short supply out here, outside Voltrex.  

More letters later Emma.

Robin

Life is an endless sea of meetings.  I swear I have a constant headache these days.  It is my duty though.  Miss Daniella has asked me to be her advisor and body guard.  I have a lot of catching up to do, but it is necessary if I am going to be any good at offering advice.  

Miss Daniella seems to be very set in her decision to help Lord Siphe keep his new lands upkept and his people fed.  I feel odd helping a former enemy, but I have to trust Miss Daniella.  Toran obviously has put his faith in her, and she hasn't led me astray yet.  I did finally hear a valid reason for why we are helping them other than Miss Daniella's gut though.  A vote.  Plain and simple.  We need their vote to keep bad things from happening.  That I can understand.

In addition to my endless hours of meetings lately, I did sit in with a meeting that included Beacon Bael.  I like him.  This comes as a shock to me, because when we were training him, I thought him a pain in the rear.  I wonder if that is what my teachers thought of me.  As I watch him behave, a lot of his behaviors remind me of myself.  He's... quirky.  I think I might have let Miss Daniella see a bit too much of the part I try to hide when among the more serious of the Toranites.  I've simply spent too much time along in crypts over the years.  My mind goes funny places and I have whole conversations with myself that make me chuckle.  Of course, this makes those around me think me mad.  Bright side about Beacon Bael, he just finds it amusing and thanks Toran that I am his Captain.  

I am actually supposed to see Riley soon, so I am going to wrap this up and get ready.

Emmaline,

More news of the best girl friend kind.  I have to say that I haven't gotten a whole lot done on the search for the source of undead since my last letter to you, but I have done a little more training and made new connections with people that I might be able to obtain help from when the time comes to destroy the undead.  The people here are strange, but for the most part at least they agree that undead should be destroyed.

I seem to have a problem where people don't see me.  It is a rather odd problem, as you know me... I rarely keep my opinion to myself.  I actually had one conversation with some Captain of his faith where I spoke to him and he would reply to Eghaas (who was standing next to me).  It was some sort of strange three way conversation.  A few weeks later, another man didn't see me sitting in plain sight next to Eghaas.  I can't decide if I'm just getting really good at hiding or if I am just so plain next to Eghaas that others can't see past him.  In any case, we'll see if this is a situation that repeats itself.

As for Eghaas, I can at least update you enough to say that the Ilsarian was very wrong.  I'm not sure what to call us, but I know the Ilsarian was wrong.  You'd think an Ilsarian could spot things like that, right?  Guess not.  

There is a famine going on here, but I am unsure as to the source at this time.  Nature is still providing for Jum, Leo and I.  

Tell my dad and brother that I love them.

Robin

Emmaline,

Hopefully dad relayed to you when I wrote to him last that I am doing well enough.  I miss you tons.  I have yet to find a single female here that I can talk to.  It figures that my life gets interesting on the man front when I am so alone.  It isn't like I'm going to talk about men with Jumbala or Leo.  Can you just picture that?  *smiley face drawn in*

Eghaas is a Wood Elf, so you would approve, but he is different.  He can't climb trees, he's blond, he doesn't follow Folian (he actually follows Aeriden), and he actually thinks he is calling from the Al'Noth for his magic instead of nature.  Despite all that though, he is a good elf if not a typical Wood Elf.  I actually am just grateful to have found him so that I have a friend outside Voltrex that isn't Jum or Leo.

I feel silly writing to you about a guy.  I'm barely old enough to even be worrying about men and yet I find myself going to exotic, beautiful places with him.  He tells me how great I am, which is a little hard to believe coming from him.  

He seems to care about me, but doesn't want me.  It's a strange place to be.  When we are alone, he's constantly kissing my forehead and holding my hand.  I guess part of me is wondering if ... well if he likes me but I'm not good enough in his eyes for public for some reason.  

He's honest.  He said he doesn't want a relationship.  So this pain I'm trying to hold at bay is my own fault for wanting more from someone who made it clear what they do and don't want.

Maybe I'm just misreading things because I am young and haven't done the relationship thing before.  Maybe there is something obvious there that I should see and don't because I don't know what to look for.

I wish you were hear to slap me upside the back of the head for letting a guy make me second guess myself.  I think I was doing a bit better, but there is an Ilsarian elf who traveled with Eghaas and I recently and he asked me what was wrong, so I gave him the brief answer.  He actually said that I had to figure out where I stood in liking/loving Eghaas before I did anything else.  He said Eghaas might just not think me good enough.  That was tough to swallow (the not good enough part, not the liking loving part).  I know I'm still very young.  Who knows at my age and this soon into.. well, not a relationship.. into a friendship what they heck the future might hold?  I think the Ilsarian just made me feel worse and confused me more.  

I can hear you in my head now telling me to ignore the Ilsarian and do whatever feels right.  Nothing feels right out here though.  I do miss home so much.  I miss you very much.

Thank you for letting me babble to you about an elf or two you've never met and talk through my troubles.  I feel better actually.  I hope everything is good for you back home.  Has your beau made any steps?

Write me Emma.

Love you,

Robin

Richard is nearly five now.  Time has certainly flown by.  It won't be long before we are earnestly teaching him how to use a sword.  Riley is wonderful as usual and life in the Shining Hand is.. well.. as normal as life in the Shining Hand can be.

The reason for this entry is to write out and thus work out my thoughts from a recent trip I took at Daniella's request.  She has made friends with Lord Siphe.  He was once a General of our enemy and is now, according to Daniella, her friend.  She states that he is an honorable man and has good intentions.  She is concerned for his safety however, because she does not have the same feelings for those who would inherit his title if he were to perish.  

So, my job was to simply accompany her on her next trip to visit with Lord Siphe and give my opinion of his second in command.  It is a good thing that Lord Siphe having a good opinion of me wasn't necessary, because almost from the start he decided he did not like me.  I can't say that it particularly offends me.  He is military to his very core and although I was raised military, all the time I have spent in the Shining Hand and doing what must be done instead of necessarily what the military would do has taken it's toll on the finer points of my manners.  It is what it is.  

In the end, it did not hinder my ability to get a read on Nijau.  His actions almost completely mirrored mine.  It wasn't long before I was fairly certain that his feelings for Lord Siphe were similar to mine for Lady Daniella.  He trusts him and would give his life for him in a moment.  I was given the opportunity to fight along side him, and that cemented my opinion.  Lord Siphe doesn't have to fear his second in command taking him out of leadership, Nijau may not agree with all his decisions but he will do whatever he is told and will trust Nijau to the end.  I think he is mostly just afraid of how we will affect his people.  If they teach us, will we teach them our bad habits?  

Besides that, Lord Siphe had lots of information to share with Lady Daniella.  The stories varrying from Corathites attempting to corrupt the Toranite temple that is being built there to a story of a dragon named Shadorixkly and  how in service to Molvaren, Lord Siphe had to leave behind his whole army.  The Dragon possessed creatures that were near impossible to fight because you couldn't see them even if you knew they were there.

I need to find Daniella and tell her my conclusions.

Robin happens to be walking thru and hears the yell and winces, mumbling "I will have to speak to Leo again."  *sighs* "I thought we were through with this when he stopped peeing on shoes as the puppy."

//Guardian is correct.  I would consider books to be like other consumables and thus as long as it fits in the chest it is fine.

As for the rest of the items, the rule of only two per chest is still the rule.  If I notice that someone broke the rule, I try to send them a PM correcting the behavior.  However, I don't always notice it or notice it in a timely manner.  

That and what Guardian said answer your questions?

Whatever the fluke was, it seems to be fixed now.  Call lightning is working as normal again.  

Thanks for the time.

I tried it with a hostile in the red light caverns (and the spell did not go off).

After that I tried it in goblin wastelands, that board with the skunk outside haven, and haven city (no hostiles in the immediate area) without the effects either.

I have cast that spell "underground" tons of times, including in the red light caverns.

Roleplaying isn't about level.  In my past I've had great rp with people twenty levels below me or twenty levels above me.  What matters is getting to know your characters and how to interact with them.  Get in the head of your character, make a history, a past, a personality for them.  If you are stuck on it, sit around a campfire and listen to others tell their stories and let that inspire you.  You'll quickly find that as you interact with others, you don't have to make up a past because you are writing your history just by interacting with others and that will give you something to talk about with the next person you rp with.

Bashing for xp (which is what you sounded like you were talking about and not saying you can't do it in addition to rp) is totally different than rp.  

Just my two cents.

So .. this morning I was minding my own business and suddenly someone I don't know asks to roleplay (and only completely different timezones excuses my thoughts that he was a newbie who needed help ;)  )... so of course I drop what I'm doing and head on over.  I'd like to say thanks for a great little bit of rp and character development from Eghaas.  Robin had a chance to not be stuck up for once. It was fun and hope to repeat it again.

Sure.  Added a case for it.

Chests for Garnet, Birch Bark, Thistle, and Almonds added at customers requests.

Anyone have any others?

There are 4 things that I know are in the shop right now without a price on the box.  I will try to fix this, but in the meantime if you want any of the three items, this is their price:

Belt of Eluding - 6k
Gargoyle Boots - 8k
Assassins' Parasol - 6k
Dragonscale Bracers - 15k

Thanks for patience in updating the prices.
