Nodwin's jaw drops as he attempts to contemplate what he has experienced. He is unable to respond for a short period of time.

"Well, that's informative."

Mario's eyes open to their limits.

"Ack, what was that?"


[Private to GM: 07:05, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 12 using 3d6.  Fright Check (12 -1).

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 376):

Thankfully, no one failed enough to get flashbacks. All of you are acutely aware that the shord once had three spellstones containing wishes of varying strength, and that one remains. You also have a better understanding of the nature of pain.

Perhaps using the last wish to heal or cure him?  Can't leave him like this and would feel guilty for doing further harm to him.

"E's not completely crazy.  Has some understandin of this situation.  Nodwin does Vejovis grant priests t'e ability to clear madness?"

Shaking off the images he had seen, Nodwin responds. "I am afraid I do not have that ability."

"Sure, but does Vejovis grant that miracle?  If so we can carry him to a temple maybe an get him cured.  Let him t'en decide with a clear mind."

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 381):

Make a psychology roll at +2

Mario, having recovered himself after the mental shock, checks the arrows that he stabbed into the wounded man.  Can't be long until the first one vanishes.

Narrator:

Make a psychology roll at +2

OOC:  01:39, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 12 using 3d6.  Psychology 13 (11 + 2).

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 384):

The rest of you may not be able to name what is wrong with the wounded man's mind, but Jareth percieves that he might be berserk, on the edge, with probable vouces and flashbacks along with confusion.

"Yeah, he's gone mad.  Definitely uncrazy him before further decisions...  or just kill him.  Always t'e option."

"Could the Hadereum heal his mind?  I'm pretty sure we can get him there in this state, if Ymid can keep him paralyzed long enough -- though we probably don't want to parade him in the streets if we can help it."  Mario glances at the fellow with an eyeball for a head.

"He was weak enough we could probably manage him anyway, if it would help.

"If they can't help him, we might do him a favor by cutting his throat."

Or perhaps the Ymid could just do it here to erase the anomaly...

"From what I -- we all -- just saw, I don't think he'd be a good choice to try to put a man's mind back right.

"But I think what he was perceiving was the magic on this man, and healing his mind probably won't change that."

Perhaps he could just remove the magic, allowing us some chance to get him ... um ... help.

"So... Nodwin, does Vejovis grant t'e way remove madness an is t'ere temple to yer god in town?"

Jareth has been keeping his eye on the cursed man during this conversation to see how much he's taking in , and how cognizant he is of the implications.

Mario glances at Ymid again.  "Can you even remove the result of a wish?  The Brothers always said that was impossible."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 392):

"Or my friend could just wrap him up, and have him for lunch. Pity to kill someone without a good reason..."

In reply to Clarence Montague (msg # 393):

"I would only be able to suspend the enchantment...there seems to be something
 of a conditional escape clause... Much as would be found in someone ensorcelled, although
 this seems voluntary...and something of a syntactical error, thus providing a loophole I
believe the slow legged one (grossly distorted image of Mario) and the one who is a conduit
to and pact with external geological allegorical entity (distorted image of Nodwin) have
already been exploiting."

In reply to Ymid (msg # 394):

"Huh, our friends are partly responsible for this?"

"I think he means how stabbing the Wounded Man with arrows restores him, to some extent."

Mario once more touches the fletching on the first arrow he stabbed into the man.
  "This should have vanished by now, shouldn't it?
 It usually takes between sixty and ninety heartbeats, but I lost count."

Is quiet as this mystical stuff is beyond her pay grade.

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 397):

The first of the three arrows disappears, leaving a wound. the second of the three is starting to look a bit misty as well.
