8/29/99  Zwei says, "she is presently under the protection of the knights until such time as we may determine..."
8/29/99 1:25:47p Sendorian asks, "Protection?"
8/29/99 1:25:49p Sendorian says, "I see..."
8/29/99 1:25:53p (Sendorian shakes his head)
8/29/99 1:25:55p Zwei says, "the extent and particulars of her case."
8/29/99 1:26:04p Sendorian asks, "Case?"
8/29/99 1:26:11p Sendorian asks, "There is a case against her?"
8/29/99 1:26:38p Zwei says, "there are certain aspects of her life's tale that are under ... dispute ..."
8/29/99 1:26:45p (Sendorian brings out a parchment with the seal of Mobius at the top.)
8/29/99 1:26:59p Zwei says, "it has been long... friend..."
8/29/99 1:27:03p Sendorian says, "Yes, well, this island is under the jurisdiction of the Emperor."
8/29/99 1:27:20p Sendorian says, "And, we have a case against her ourselves, on the mainland."
8/29/99 1:27:24p Zwei says, "since one has dared show such signs and sigils here in far lok'groton."
8/29/99 1:27:33p Sendorian says, "We fear she may commit yet more crimes."
8/29/99 1:27:40p Sendorian says, "I um...."
8/29/99 1:27:46p Sendorian says, "don't think you understand your situation"
8/29/99 1:27:59p (Zwei grips the haft of her axe casually.)
8/29/99 1:28:10p Zwei says, "aye, do tell, noble sendorian."
8/29/99 1:28:18p Sendorian asks, "How do you think Mobius might view the formation of a knighthood here on the isles?"
8/29/99 1:28:35p Sendorian says, "Of course,"
8/29/99 1:28:39p Zwei asks, "we are exiles, surely, and not worthy of the mighty's attentions?"
8/29/99 1:28:50p Sendorian says, "Hardly."
8/29/99 1:29:03p Sendorian says, "But this Lorian."
8/29/99 1:29:13p Zwei says, "also an exile."
8/29/99 1:29:26p Sendorian says, "She is of interest to a small group of us under his Emperor's authority."
8/29/99 1:29:30p Zwei says, "i see."
8/29/99 1:29:37p Sendorian says, "It would be..."
8/29/99 1:29:39p Sendorian says, "a shame..."
8/29/99 1:29:42p Zwei says, "and are you also aware, good sendorian...."
8/29/99 1:29:43p Sendorian says, "if it should come to the attention"
8/29/99 1:29:47p Sendorian says, "of his highness..."
8/29/99 1:29:50p Sendorian says, "of your efforts."
8/29/99 1:29:55p Zwei asks, "of a sylvan going by the name of "lilit"?"
8/29/99 1:29:56p Sendorian asks, "yes?"
8/29/99 1:30:09p (Sendorian checks through his notes...)
8/29/99 1:30:17p Zwei says, "for one's case has much to do with the other."
8/29/99 1:30:19p Sendorian says, "Ahh yes."
8/29/99 1:30:24p Zwei says, "they seem intertwined."
8/29/99 1:30:30p Bullingbrook is now Clanning.
8/29/99 1:30:31p (Sendorian reads....)
8/29/99 1:30:40p Sendorian says, "Indeed they would seem so."
8/29/99 1:30:49p (Sendorian nods as he reads...)
8/29/99 1:30:53p Sendorian says, "Yes... I can see why."
8/29/99 1:31:02p Sendorian says, "Interesting."
8/29/99 1:31:06p Zwei asks, "perhaps, if you'd care to enlighten me....?"
8/29/99 1:31:14p Sendorian ponders, "I wonder if this.. Lilit.. could be of use to us as well..."
8/29/99 1:31:28p Sendorian asks, "Tell me... what may happen to Lorian?"
8/29/99 1:31:35p Sendorian asks, "what is the nature of these charges?"
8/29/99 1:31:39p Zwei says, "i fear her soul is at peril."
8/29/99 1:32:00p Sendorian asks, "Yes... well... none of us want that to happen now, do we?"
8/29/99 1:32:11p Zwei says, "but of the particulars of the case i may not speak alone."
8/29/99 1:32:18p Zwei says, "nay, noble sendorian...."
8/29/99 1:32:19p Sendorian says, "And I'm sure the Knighthood would continue to enjoy such anonymity."
8/29/99 1:32:32p Zwei says, "what you seek is a convocation of the order."
8/29/99 1:32:45p Sendorian says, "That does seem in order, yes..."
8/29/99 1:32:48p Zwei says, "and i am not presently empowered to act for all concerned."
8/29/99 1:32:50p Sendorian says, "but..."
8/29/99 1:32:59p Sendorian says, "I am only concerned for the one."
8/29/99 1:33:06p Zwei says, "i must caution you however:"
8/29/99 1:33:26p Zwei says, "the lady lorian does fall under our ... aegis ... as it were."
8/29/99 1:33:33p Sendorian says, "She is, after all, under my authority, not those of your... um... order."
8/29/99 1:33:54p Zwei says, "i would caution you against any direct action, and here, you may find 
your "authority" carries but little weight."
8/29/99 1:33:59p (Sendorian takes out an official looking parchment...)
8/29/99 1:34:07p Sendorian says, "See for yourself..."
8/29/99 1:34:16p (Zwei takes the parchment.)
8/29/99 1:34:29p (Sendorian hands you the parchment detailing Lorian's accountability to a group called "the core"...)
8/29/99 1:34:35p Zwei asks, "ah, the arms and seal of the emporor?"
8/29/99 1:34:49p (Sendorian nods slowly)
8/29/99 1:34:58p (Sendorian pulls his cloak about him)
8/29/99 1:35:02p Zwei says, "it seems odd that mighty ones would take such an interest in one more lowly exile."
8/29/99 1:35:11p Sendorian says, "I of course am prepared to taoke no immediate action."
8/29/99 1:35:16p Sendorian says, "Interest..."
8/29/99 1:35:17p Sendorian says, "well..."
8/29/99 1:35:26p Sendorian says, "surely you must know of the..."
8/29/99 1:35:29p Sendorian says, "magnitude..."
8/29/99 1:35:33p Sendorian says, "of her crimes."
8/29/99 1:35:48p Zwei says, "mutterings and distant rumor only, good sir."
8/29/99 1:35:50p Sendorian says, "We could find a way to take her off your hands, if we so desired."
8/29/99 1:36:04p Zwei says, "ah, is't so? is't so..."
8/29/99 1:36:04p Sendorian says, "They interest me not."
8/29/99 1:36:09p Zwei says, "well... hmm."
8/29/99 1:36:14p Sendorian says, "I am only concerned for her well being"
8/29/99 1:36:19p Sendorian says, "that proper justice is served"
8/29/99 1:36:34p Zwei says, "many people, it seems, are "concerned" for this one's "well being.""
8/29/99 1:36:35p Sendorian says, "and that your.... order... remain in tact of course."
8/29/99 1:36:37p (Sendorian coughs)
8/29/99 1:36:53p Zwei asks, "and how would our order be otherwise?"
8/29/99 1:36:53p Sendorian says, "Well."
8/29/99 1:37:04p Zwei says, "please speak plainly, sir."
8/29/99 1:37:10p Sendorian asks, "It would be a shame if some of you should disappear, wouldn't it?"
8/29/99 1:37:16p ¥The Sun rises.
8/29/99 1:37:22p Zwei says, "i am but a simple artisan, practising my craft here."
8/29/99 1:37:31p Sendorian says, "Yes."
8/29/99 1:37:33p Sendorian says, "To be sure."
8/29/99 1:37:35p Zwei says, "and many have recently disappeared."
8/29/99 1:37:55p Sendorian says, "In short,"
8/29/99 1:38:02p Sendorian says, "to be brief, for I must go..."
8/29/99 1:38:06p Zwei says, "so any threat your masters may offer may seem.... trivial to the horrors we have suffered."
8/29/99 1:38:14p (Sendorian nods)
8/29/99 1:38:23p Sendorian asks, "Such is the way of life we have laid out for you here is it not?"
8/29/99 1:38:24p Sendorian says, "Now."
8/29/99 1:38:29p Sendorian says, "To be brief."
8/29/99 1:38:34p Sendorian says, "Convene your.... group..."
8/29/99 1:38:38p (Sendorian says gruffly)
8/29/99 1:38:43p Sendorian says, "And decide."
8/29/99 1:38:46p Sendorian says, "I will return,"
8/29/99 1:38:56p Sendorian says, "and knowing the wisdom of your peers,"
8/29/99 1:38:57p Zwei asks, "decide upon... what, exactly?"
8/29/99 1:39:05p Sendorian says, "I trust you to come to the right conclusions"
8/29/99 1:39:20p Sendorian says, "You do not seem as dimwitted as that...."
8/29/99 1:39:24p (Sendorian looks at his notes)
8/29/99 1:39:27p Zwei says, "i thank you for your courtesie in this matter."
8/29/99 1:39:27p Sendorian says, "vagile...."
8/29/99 1:39:40p Sendorian says, "... so I'm sure you get my meaning."
8/29/99 1:39:46p Zwei asks, "vagile?"
8/29/99 1:39:57p Sendorian says, "A most short circuited one, yes."
8/29/99 1:40:01p Sendorian says, "Most unfortuate."
8/29/99 1:40:01p Zwei says, "no mention of the squire has been made in present circumstances."
8/29/99 1:40:05p Sendorian asks, "Was she hit in the head?"
8/29/99 1:40:19p Sendorian says, "No... but one did give me her name as a knight."
8/29/99 1:40:21p Zwei says, "the motile one? nay, she is but a zo."
8/29/99 1:40:26p Sendorian says, "She is only a squire in fact."
8/29/99 1:40:28p Ravenstorm is no longer Clanning.
8/29/99 1:40:35p Zwei says, "and thusly subject to fits of ... temper."
8/29/99 1:40:39p Sendorian says, "She probably did not remember to pass along the details."
8/29/99 1:40:40p (Sendorian nods)
8/29/99 1:40:47p Zwei says, "ah, i see."
8/29/99 1:40:55p Sendorian says, "Decide..."
8/29/99 1:41:00p Sendorian asks, "do you really need clarification there?"
8/29/99 1:41:01p Zwei says, "yes, she is esquired to sir west."
8/29/99 1:41:07p Sendorian asks, "for vagile's sake?"
8/29/99 1:41:09p Zwei says, "aye, i think it may be helpful."
8/29/99 1:41:14p Ramza has fallen to a Rat in Puddleby.
8/29/99 1:41:15p Zwei says, "since i am so dimwitted."
8/29/99 1:41:16p Sendorian says, "Simply,"
8/29/99 1:41:30p Sendorian says, "No, you seem quite eloquent, Zwei."
8/29/99 1:41:39p Sendorian says, "Regardless... to put it bluntly...."
8/29/99 1:41:47p Zwei says, "eloquence is not always a betrayer of wisdom, sire."
8/29/99 1:41:51p Sendorian says, "you must decide if Lorian is to remain in your care"
8/29/99 1:41:57p Zwei says, "ah, i see."
8/29/99 1:42:08p Sendorian says, "or if you will yeild her to me without disruption."
8/29/99 1:42:17p Zwei asks, "and may i keep this parchment as testimony to your credentials?"
8/29/99 1:42:23p Sendorian says, "Of course."
8/29/99 1:42:44p Sendorian says, "It does, after all, testify to her willing collaboration with  and submission to us.."
8/29/99 1:42:52p Zwei asks, "and have you any other signs by which we might know the truth of your assertions?"
8/29/99 1:42:54p Sendorian says, "as it bears her signature at the bottom."
8/29/99 1:43:18p Sendorian asks, "Is any other evidence necessary to convey my authority?"
8/29/99 1:43:31p Sendorian says, "Forgery of the seal is, after all, a capital offence."
8/29/99 1:43:48p Zwei says, "aye, i think any further proofs you might provide would be helpful. remember, good sir...."
8/29/99 1:43:55p Zwei says, "that we are but exiles, after all."
8/29/99 1:44:00p Sendorian asks, "With our names on it, it would be foolish to let such a thing go... if it were indeed a forgery?"
8/29/99 1:44:15p Sendorian says, "If you insist."
8/29/99 1:44:19p Zwei asks, "many of our number are criminals, or need i remind you?"
8/29/99 1:44:23p (Sendorian ruffles through his papers...)
8/29/99 1:44:26p Sendorian says, "Most of you..."
8/29/99 1:44:26p Zwei says, "i feel i must."
8/29/99 1:44:44p Sendorian says, "but not with the prospect of..."
8/29/99 1:44:48p Sendorian says, "how shall I put this..."
8/29/99 1:44:54p Sendorian asks, "causing further problems?"
8/29/99 1:45:02p Zwei says, "indeed."
8/29/99 1:45:02p (Sendorian shuffles through his papers)
8/29/99 1:45:16p (Sendorian shakes his head...)
8/29/99 1:45:18p Rutabaga is now Clanning.
8/29/99 1:45:26p Sendorian says, "Finding something I can part with.... one moment please..."
8/29/99 1:45:34p (Sendorian shuffles)
8/29/99 1:45:40p (Zwei waits patiently.)
8/29/99 1:45:42p Sendorian says, "Here...."
8/29/99 1:46:15p (Sendorian hands you a letter written by Lorian to himself planning an attack on a sylvan town...)
8/29/99 1:46:25p (Zwei accepts the letter.)
8/29/99 1:46:28p Zwei says, "thank you."
8/29/99 1:46:42p Sendorian says, "Dun'Larel is no more, as she will tell you."
8/29/99 1:46:43p Zwei says, "i shall bring this matter to the attention of the rest of the council."
8/29/99 1:46:52p Zwei exclaims, "one thing further!"
8/29/99 1:47:00p Sendorian asks, "How could you want her to remain in your care?"
8/29/99 1:47:01p Sendorian says, "I see not."
8/29/99 1:47:10p Sendorian asks, "What is on your mind?"
8/29/99 1:47:16p Zwei asks, "do you have, by chance, any of the particulars of the one named "lilit"?"
8/29/99 1:47:29p Zwei says, "for if their destinies are bound together...."
8/29/99 1:47:35p Sendorian says, "I am sorry... I do not."
8/29/99 1:47:39p Zwei says, "ah."
8/29/99 1:47:42p (Sendorian tucks his notes away.)
8/29/99 1:47:48p (Zwei frowns, disappointed.)
8/29/99 1:47:54p Zwei says, "very well."
8/29/99 1:48:10p Zwei says, "i shall see that these materials see the council table."
8/29/99 1:48:10p Sendorian says, "Thank you for your time..."
8/29/99 1:48:14p Zwei says, "aye."
8/29/99 1:48:19p (Zwei bows.)
8/29/99 1:48:22p Sendorian says, "I will seek one of you out again, at the proper time."
8/29/99 1:48:25p (Sendorian bows)
8/29/99 1:48:28p Zwei says, "good day, sir."
8/29/99 1:53:38p Sendorian is no longer Clanning.
