"For example, Toke's mother is known as Marianna in our town. How does Knowledge give birth to The Sea ? And how is The Sea claiming dominion over lakes, rivers, and springs far from the sea? Is there a court of the gods we can go to, to contest Toke's claim over us, and his subsequent displeas...

If the Hydra has not destroyed Harrisbridge, we can still trade goods with them. A caravan is fine, we should just take a mix of goods so we can adapt. I will go. And I'm glad you'll join me. It'll be like old times, before all of these gods started butting in. We'll learn the truth of things, make ...

Azver, if we believe that Harrisbridge has recently encountered the Hydra, that seems the most useful place to go for information. And if the Hydra has recently demolished the city, our caravan of goods would be very welcome. I can see many synergies that could come of this trip. So, I suggest that ...

I have heard that there are some specific uses for the substances we call "waste". Fertilizer is a prime example, but also the tanners of animal hides find... ahem... that there is value to the more golden of the two forms of waste. I have begun looking into ways that we might be able to h...

[ooc - Um... player goof... I was thinking of an entirely other fish. Nothing to do with the Hydra or the Tether Fish.]

Gener, in response to your concerns for the city's sanitation (you're not the first I have heard brings up this topic I might add) and the overall issue of crowding, I hope to propose a possible solution to the Builder's Guild. Not just for sanitation, but to help mitigate the broader concern for th...

Gener. Ianua. I have some small experience with these fish as well. I am not at liberty to share all the details, though I will seek permission to reveal more. It is not my secret to expose. However, I wanted to at least share that I have seen them to be very beneficial. I might go so far as to desc...

[At a time after Gener has laid his friend to rest, Krinn visits his house again. This is not strictly "public" but since I'll probably tell other players about this "private" conversation, it's just easier to print it publicly. This mostly deals with things I'm going to put int...

"Gener, my apologies for the confusion. Azver and Laurel, you and Brand, all choose to follow gods, for your own reasons. I do not. I choose Twinsriver itself. I will accept that Li or Kimer may bring some measure of prosperity to the village, but there may come a day when devotion to a god and...

Turn sent, slightly late. Also, Gener and Brand, check the PMs I sent you.

"Yes, there seems to be some confusion. My apologies for that. The expectation is that the fighters will arrive, pick a place, fight, judge each other's fighting, settle on a Champion, and eventually go home. Nothing we discuss will change that. And, if we tried, they'd just ignore us anyway. S...

"These are as beautiful as they are sublime." "Which, you know is flattery, but I want you to feel confident that I will be equally as smarmy with the recipients of these gifts, to better encourage them to return here themselves to find more like these." "I'm not sure how to...

[Sorry for the out-of sequence posts. This conversation is actually meant to happen maybe a couple days after the above with Azver, but I didn't want to wait for Azver to get home and post replies to me before I can post this one, so I'm just putting it all out there now.] A couple days after Krinn...

Krinn looks up from his table in the town's square. There's Azver, standing around giving speeches again, he thinks. For a great fighter, he sure talks a lot. He pours another drink for... whatever her name is. The one to his right. Her cup looks empty, and a good host can't allow that to happen for...

Oh wow. Last night was intense. Awesome. Blurry. But I'm pretty sure it was great. Okay, it's really blurry. But, there's this one moment. Crystal clear. There was this girl. Woman, really. She knew what she was doing, if you know what I mean. I don't remember where we were, but she was dancing agai...

I am Krinn. I'm a pretty good fighter, though maybe not the best. I'm just a hobbiest, really. My family is rich, and I have a lot of free time. Sparring is fun, and they're very interesting people. And the ladies of Twinrivers really like the good fighters. That Azver guy... they line up for his at...

All of them.

Don't get mad; get even.

I'm sure we could. But since you have already found it, why should we have to?

That's the point of cooperation, right?

<sigh>

He put pieces in our stuff so we'd SHARE and WORK TOGETHER.

That doesn't mean "drop a cryptic 'that's cold' and rush off by yourself."
