[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *rolls his eyes* Everyone is jealous of my kingdom. 
[SirKyleWaz] Je'Kelnar: [Talk] Kingdom? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods seriously* Everywhere these flowers grow.  And the tent. 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] His kingdom is comprised of a pink tent, daisies of some sort, and a pot. 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] I'm lacking the correct words to say to a man who has just declared a small patch of flowers, a tent, and a kettle of something that most likely tastes putrid , his kingdom. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *shrugs indifferently* You have to start somewhere. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] and he's not even wearing Red Robes 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] The words you're searching for are "I cannot take you seriously" 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] I know it has something to do with...standards..... 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] *scratches his chin* Setting your sights high....*waves a hand* something along those lines. 
[Keldor The Barbarian] Aarin: [Talk] I'd call it  "elysian" ~speaks in a disguised voice~ 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] A good one as well. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] I'd call it sitting in a patch of poison flowers 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] He's going to have a nasty rash in the nether regions 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] They may be poisonous to outsiders, but they know their king. 

...

[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] But, i think its illegal to lay claim to land that is part of Elysia. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] So.. i'm going to have to report this. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] Does that mean I can blow it up? 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] No.  We need it for evidence. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] Evidence is only useful for research 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] It just delays stuff otherwise 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *chuckles lightly* The new, society-friendly Bedlam, everyone. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] I'm researching, I'm researching. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Perhaps you'd like a share of my kingdom, then? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] A fief of your own, perhaps? 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Thief?   
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Amir, when did you get there? 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] Yes Bedlam...lay claim to six daisies as your own fief. 
[Primal Lotus] Amir Danolyan: [Talk] *chuckles softly* Now or originally? 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Now. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] I have no desire to lay claim to anything. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I could grant you the rock to the southwest of my domain. 
[Primal Lotus] Amir Danolyan: [Talk] I've been standing here for a moment My Dear. 
[Primal Lotus] Amir Danolyan: [Talk] No more. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] I'm waiting to be able to levitate a small island magically and permanently before I claim independent lands 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] It's a quality rock bordering a major trade route. 
[L1t3r] Vesdrac  Noss'tau: [Talk] *looks back at Amir and looks him over* 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Good... I thought I was not paying enough attention. 
[Primal Lotus] Amir Danolyan: [Talk] And how are you liking Avlis? 
[Primal Lotus] Amir Danolyan: [Talk] Last I recall seeing you was in the mines of Deglos. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Hmm.. I think if a portion of land floats away, it is up for grabs to anyone who claims it. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Once it leaves its motherland, its fair game. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Tell me Aur.  How stable is your kingdom in regards to its connection to the Vortex? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *looks around* Looks fairly stable to me. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Are you sure? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I can grant you my royal permission to test the stability if you like. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Commence the testing. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] Are we still here? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] That would seem to be the case. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] How about now? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Still breathing. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] And lastly.... 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] This is usually how Bedlam ends up in jail 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Loudball? 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] You want a loudball? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] If it helps the testing.  Don't destroy the flowers if you can help it.  They add character. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] I'll see what i can do, but realize that we're both in danger. 
[MythosLoki] Archibald Thel: [Talk] Well I'd be ready to cover your ears 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *puts on a helmet* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods once* 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Oh, dear. 
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] *shrugs* 
Bedlam Dender casts Fireball
(... and turns into a cow.)
[Joey Blackheart] Bedlam Dender: [Talk] MRROOOOO!!!!

...

[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] I challenge you to a duel, sir. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *looks up* Excuse me? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *takes a seat by the fire* 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] A duel for the tent. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *sighs dramatically* Must we? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I rather like the peace and quiet. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] You can yield the throne to me peacefully, of course. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] I will let you live the rest of your life in exile. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *looks pointedly at the guards* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *hrmfs softly* 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] This is that most sacred of challenges, sir. No mere guard can oppose it. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] *brows raise* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *sighs* Theinna, can I trust you to watch my kingdom while I show this miscreant the meaning of pain? 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] What are the boundaries of your kingdom... sire? 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Everywhere the daisies touch.  And the tent. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] As you wish 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods* Fantastic. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] The terms I propose are this: No healing, no magic. You and your equipment. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I shall return promptly. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] No healing, no magic, no abilities enchanted on your armor. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] Of course. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *smiles* After you. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] This way, then. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Have at it, then. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Fool. 

Dierys Chimera : Initiative Roll : 18 : (17 + 1 = 18)
Dierys Chimera attempts Knockdown on Drir : *miss* : (6 + 18 = 24)
Drir attempts Improved Knockdown on Dierys Chimera : *critical hit* : (18 + 26 = 44 : Threat Roll: 15 + 26 = 41)
Drir attacks Dierys Chimera : *hit* : (13 + 25 = 38)
Drir damages Dierys Chimera: 95 (95 Physical)
(and so on...)
You are bleeding to death...

[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] The day is mine. 
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] <eyes widen>
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *limps back and says unenthusiastically* Long live the king. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] I return the kingdom to your able hands 
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] <looks confused>
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] <as if she's found herself surrounded by madmen>
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] *smooths her skirts and delicately takes a seat in the daisies* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods to Thienna* My thanks.  Perhaps you would like a fief for your service? 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] I would be honored sire 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Fantastic.  You can have the pot to the south, and the land between it and the road. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Bedlam owns the rock already. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] You are very gracious 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Stew for everyone! 

...

(Nax walks over the daisies)
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *rises* Sir! How dare you trample the Royal Gardens? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *mock outrage* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *grins under his hood* 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] *raises a brow* You claim ownership of this land, Sir? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *motions to Aur with his sword* He does. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *looks up at Nax* I bid you welcome to the newly founded Kingdom of Aur. 
[rdamiani] Aerie Angeltear: [Talk] Elf gate as usual 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] *looks around the tent opening to Drir* Ahh. Lovely.  
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods* I'm glad you think so. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *takes out a royal scepter* 
(The scepter in question is a tree branch.)
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *jumps in place very slightly, as if struck by an idea, then rummages through a bag* 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] *grins to Aerie* 
[Cougar] Gurth Istar: [Talk] I merely said he was studying backwards 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *pulls out a flag, hops atop the rock, and waves it around* 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] ...That is a very remarkable flag. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods approvingly at Dierys* 
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] shall i presume this to be your national banner? 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] I do hope this is merely an elaborate jest. I would hate to have to contest this claim. *grins slightly* 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Ah well, Welcome to the Kingdom of Aur 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] All kneel before the standard of the Kingdom of Aur! 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] Perform Check, Roll 1d20: 3 = Total: 3
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] <is uninclined to kneel>
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *chuckles lightly* The kneeling is unnecessary. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I do approve of the standard, though. *nods approvingly* 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *looks disappointed at his lackluster heralding* 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *removes his helm, puts the flag away, and sits on the rock* 

[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Wow. 
[iamn00bforce] Nax Lazzar: [Talk] Sephira! *smiles* G'day! 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] *waves* Hello. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods* I bid you welcome to the Kingdom of Aur! 
[Cougar] Gurth Istar: [Talk] *inclines head* Vedui' Sephira 
[andarivushipadnatsuwara] Cendri: [Talk] pelail mrs. raynes. <smiles>
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Vedui. Pelail 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Fegalishaaven, Gorr, and all that good stuff 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Kingdom of Aur? 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Do you have stamps? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *jumps up and pulls the flag out once again* 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] We do have tea 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *nods excitedly* 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] *nods* Got your flag covered, good. 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] But do you have stamps. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *waves it around, a bit less excitedly than before* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *shakes his head* Sadly not.  I have not found a master of post. 
[Sephira Everliss] Sephira Everliss: [Talk] Not a proper nation yet, then. Sorry. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] Shit. *ponders* 

...

[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Are those... Cookies? 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] They are 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] The finest chocolate chips in the land 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Where are they from..? 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] The chocolate chips... 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Visimontium 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] From Truely's Chocolates 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] Does it explode..? 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Not at all 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] It is illegal for cookies to explode in the Kingdom of Aur. 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] ... Are you sure? 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] I also have milk, but that might explode 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] I do not want to explode... 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] It was provided by Magus Flenken 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] You see?  Milk of Arcane Power 

[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk] ... I do not want to explode... 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] erm, *coughs* POWER 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] May I? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] Holding this flag makes one thirsty. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] If you wish 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I suppose we can name you the royal taster as well. 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *folds the flag carefully, and tucks it away* 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Do you have any latent talents towards teh arcane? 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] None that I know of. 
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Hrm 
[Lethara] Jal'Vasia: [Talk]  
(Thienna casts some kind of protection on herself)
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Very well, you may proceed 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] *picks up the bottle carefully* 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *watches Dierys with interest* 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] FOR THE KINGDOM! 
(Thienna casts Mantle of Egregious Might on Dierys)
[GunnJ] Thienna Relimion: [Talk] Ooohh! 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] Tastes like... arcane POWER! 
[Zebranky] Dierys Chimera: [Talk] Actually, it tastes like milk. I think the spell you just cast was the arcane bit. 

...

[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] *shakes his head* I'm afraid I have pressing Kingdom business elsewhere.  Do take care in your travels. 
[StrakenAur] Drir: [Talk] I must launch a preemptive strike against the rats while they sleep, lest the royal garden be overwhelmed by the morrow.
