In reply to Warwick (msg # 69):

Trysk chuckles, "Keep this up, Warwick, and your legs will begin to atrophy!"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 70):

You all walk outside, you see Trinny and Morteft just looking around as the dwarves and gnomes work away.  You then hear a shrill whistle and all the dwarves stop working and come to gather in front of Warwick.  The lead dwarf, presumably, speaks

"We has heard what ye did for our world and we thank ye.  Now we heard ye a Lerd on ye world and even though it ain't official here, ye still a Lerd as we're concerned."  They all give a bow at the waist.

"I am glad I did not have a big lunch." you hear Dualis in the background.

Warwick bows back.  "Thank ye for the honor.  If ye need anything, ye let me know, okay?"

In reply to Warwick (msg # 69):

Shorty nods to the squires.  “Practice sword ebery day.  Bows too.  Listen ta Know Man an Birdie Max.” Shorty smiles then follows his friends out.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 73):

The squires nod at Shorty's instruction and reply "Yes, sir."

Dualis says: "Gather around, we shall head to the doorway."  he addresses Alannon "Thank you for the borrowing of your Knight."  Alannon nods.

You all are teleported into the midst of a forest that is familiar to most of you except Ez'ard.  Before you is the shimmering outline of a door that 'hangs' in the air, it is not attached to anything and all around it is just the forest.

Dualis addresses Ez'ard.  "Ez'ard, you are about to enter my home.  Few are invited to enter and share in its luxuries.  I expect a certain level of conduct, many things will be available to you and there are many protections as well.  I know how, shall we say curious you can be, so please be aware untempered curiosity can be dangerous. Yes."  he smiles, but no humor in it.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 74):

Ez’ard smiles at Dualis’ comments/warning. “Got it; don’t touch and more importantly don’t gain weight.”

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 75):

Dualis responds with a drawn out "Yes." at that he waves and the 'doorway' opens.  Beyond is what looks like a large library.  Trinny and Chest will go thru first, followed by the rest of you and finally Dualis.

OOC: For the benefit of Gary/Ez'ard

You find yourselves in a huge library, large bookshelves stretch as far as the eye can see. Looking to either side each bookshelf appears to extend a long way.  Looking up it looks to have at least 4 floors.  Ahead about 100' it appears to open up, you see a couple of large oaken tables and massive double doors behind them.  Standing in front of the tables are an Efreet and an Illithid.  They see you and begin to move toward you.

Dualis will say "We will meet in the mountain conference room in 1 hour.  Ez'ard, this is Artharlian and Orkex." He indicates the Efreet and Illithid.

The Chest scuttles away between some bookshelves.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 76):

As Artharlian and Orkex. Get within polite speaking distance Ez’ard waves and says “hello” as he has no idea where the mountain conference room is he will follow the others.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 76):

Trysk greets Art and Orkex. He sighs and plops into a chair, "More waiting...."

In reply to Trysk (msg # 78):

Warwick goes looking for Celestron.  Once he finds him, he says, "Celestron, I need to brush up on me knowledge of the Nine Hells. Do ye have anything I can peruse?"

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 77):

Shorty nudges Ez’ard.  “Dem lwrt youse read muches books.  Buts no bend paper or somebodies get grumpy”

In reply to Trysk (msg # 78):

Trysk asks, "Orkex, are there items or devices that can store psionic energy?"

In reply to Warwick (msg # 79):

Celestron, a little sliver dragon about the size of an eagle flies around the library and Warwick flags him down and asks his question.  Celestron says "We have a few books on the Nine Hells and its denizens. Politics of Hell is a interesting volume.  There is some information about all the layers; however it is somewhat incomplete.  Just ask the assistant for any of them."

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 77):

The efreeti looks at Ez'ard. "Another small fry."  Art booms.

Orkex tentacles wave in the air and Ez'ard hears in his mind *Hello.*

--DM2

In reply to Trysk (msg # 81):

Orkex replies *Yes there are items that store psionic energy, however you need to be a master Psionicist to create one and are typically attuned to the psionicist.*

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 82):

Warwick flags down an assistant and asks for the "Politics of Hell."

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 84):

Trysk nods and replies, "But in theory I could hire someone to create one, right?"

<<The efreeti looks at Ez'ard. "Another small fry."  Art booms. >>

Ez’ard replies to the fire elemental, “Being smaller makes it easier to get into and out of tight places. There is also less mass to hide when hiding is prudent.”

<<Orkex tentacles wave in the air and Ez'ard hears in his mind *Hello.*>>

Ez’ard does a quick double take at the mind speak remembering who is in front of him. He subconsciously keeps his distance from Orkex.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 87):

Shorty has done his book work for the day.  He begins to wander to where he remembers the mountain room to be.  Better to enjoy some fresh air and watch the view than to sit inside and think.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 88):

Morteft says. "I am going to head to the mountain room. A room with a view would be nice."

He heads that way.

Ez’ard follows everyone else…

In reply to Trysk (msg # 86):

*In theory.* comes Orkex mental response *few if any are likely to do so.*

--DM2

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 87):

"It seems we have a rabbit." Art chuckles.

--DM2

In reply to Warwick (msg # 85):

A large volume comes floating down from somewhere within the library and lands gently on one of the tables.

--DM2

In reply to Morteft (msg # 89):

Everyone begins to move to the mountain conference room, the same one you went to after the last adventure.

You enter the 'room' that has a large mahogany table surrounded by 10 chairs, couple of large ones and some smaller sizes.

The 'room' has no 'walls', 'floor' or 'ceiling'.  The table appears to sit atop ledge of a mountain vista. Beyond the ledge is a lush valley with a river snaking its way through.  The 'door' looks to be a cave entrance on the side of the mountain that extends toward the sky, and the sky is blue with some wisps of clouds.  The scene is later in the day for it looks like the sun has set behind the nearest mountain top on the other side of the value.  The mountains themselves that still catch the light have a purplish hue.  The ledge itself is roughly 40x50 and the table about 16'x5'.

Trinny, Art and Orkex join you as you wait for Dualis.
