Nilan tells you 'the only true Tel'Quessir are Drow'
Nilan tells you 'remember that ranger'...

You tell Nilan 'i will remember it when i see the mark of Tel'Quessir upon your drow grave!...

Nilan tells you 'and will you dare send me there elf....before your lands fall to my people...we who rightly own them''

'You tell Nilan the only lands that belong to your kind are those that are dead, like youselves, and void of a capacity to live in harmony with that which gives you life. you are your own scorn, and Oberon's Hand will return to CrUsH you. Remember that.'

Nilan tells you 'i carry one of the twelve chosen rings should i not destroy mine when the others do,the ritual will fail and it is said that demons shall unleash a fury that will destroy the surface.....ware your tongue elf and insult me no more. for i am on the surface, come to me if you dare'

t nilan ahh.. now my vision makes much clearer sense. your ring is but another denial of yourself. show me these demons. i dare you thus.

Nilan tells you 'sorry was invis running to wd
You tell Nilan 'invisibility only proves your cowardice...

Nilan tells you 'im not invis now and im at the gates of a human city'
You tell Nilan 'the humans are as clueless and heartless as kinder drows anyways.. what would they care?

Nilan tells you 'snicker im not afraid to walk your world'
You tell Nilan 'as i am not afraid of your coming.. i lie, i am afraid for you my would be brother. your blood runs thickly into your brain..'

Nilan tells you 'i have taken a elf wife are we indeed brothers?'
You tell Nilan 'unless she is my sister, which i have not, then no. no sister of mine, or of my bretheren would love one of your kind.'

Nilan tells you 'the noble elven priestess has already become my wife'
You tell Nilan 'do tell me her name..'
You tell Nilan 'so i may add it to the count of your losses in this war...'

Nilan tells you 'one by one i will take back what was taken from my people ... starting with your blood line if i must'
Nilan tells you 'the lady elisten is my wife'

t nilan her error is hers to repair while she can. and you took everything away from yourselves.. noone forced you to wage war against your own brothers.

Nilan tells you 'wage war?....twas you that banished my people...Tel'Quessir *spit*...i will see my people to glory once again'

You tell Nilan 'out of much love and difficult counsel were you banished.. "your people" once enveloped "ours" as well.. it was "your people's" choice of jealousy and hatred and the failure to capacitate harmony that led to your vanquish. i do not call war. i call love. and love is a very painful thing indeed.'

Nilan tells you 'love bah what do your kind know of love, you know only haughty hatred'

You tell Nilan '*spit* your words of confusion.. you mistake me. was i not helping you earlier? i will continue to help you, but i will not if you desire to destroy the beauty of the life that can be had.'

Nilan tells you 'tell me elf what does the Tel'Quessir stand for?...the extermination of my people....you have taken enough from us....why do you want to help me?'

t nilan i am of oberons own blood.. the same blood your ancestors forsook. i do not hate, in any scope. but i seek peace, and you yourself have threatened of your ring, and its surreal ability.. of your wish for destruction and war. you yourself stand for the destruction of peace, and that is what we stand for. that is what you are against. and those who oppose peace, will perish. remember that.

Nilan tells you 'you have no idea what i desire, you have no idea what i have sacrificed and what i will sacrifice'

You tell Nilan 'i want to help you, because courtesy and indifference are my nature.. but you renouncee it now. so i shall no longer aid you. i can only hurt for you, and your fragmented soul. '

Nilan tells you 'it is the surface that will destroy themself if these rings are destroyed....they will not believe the evidence i carry'

You tell Nilan 'you are correct, i have no idea what it is you truly desire.. you speakl only of destruction and hatred. you have sacrificed a peaceful method, for an erroneous one of battle. one which you shalal surely lose.'

Nilan tells you 'why do you think i acquired this ring? i was not chosen as the others were'
Nilan tells you 'i aquired it my my own drow methods to see that this destruction...this ritual is never performed.....i intend to safe my people'

Nilan tells you 'the gods help us all if these rings are destroyed....'

You tell Nilan 'of these rings i know nothing. and believe nothing, for i know nothing. and your choice to acquire it if it is of destruction, speaks of your heart.. however black it may be. do tell me about them.. and what you are doing with yours.. if you were not chosen, why should you hold it?'

Nilan tells you 'where are you now elf?'
You tell Nilan 'i am on my land.. elf.'

Nilan tells you 'well i can not meet you there...you know your people would execute me'
Nilan tells you 'should you dare meet me face to face i am 2e of turning point and north in a tent'

Nilan tells you 'know that i have stol...err aquired this ring to stop a ritual...because i saw no other way...'
You tell Nilan 'i shall make this journey.. to appease you if i must, but out of curiousity more than any other thing.'
Nilan tells you 'come alone...'
You tell Nilan 'that i can assure you..'

A Tattered Patchwork Tent
Patched together from the old parts of many
other tents, this temporary dwelling looks as if
a strong wind may topple it to the ground. Only
the band of purple velvet that encircles the top
of the tent gives any clue to its homeland. No
windows or ventilation offer respite from the
stale and unmoving air. Colorful carpets from the
weavers of Calisham cover the ground, and full
luxurious pillows are scattered accross the floor
offering a comfortable place to rest and relax.
- South
Nilan ShadowStalker - Velg'larn - Orbdrin D'oloth (RP) (Drow Elf) stands here.

You bow deeply.

Nilan peers around intently, looking for something.

You say 'search'

Nilan closes the flap.

You say 'see that i come alone'
Nilan says 'you are alone ranger?'

You nod.

You sit down.

Nilan paces the floor and eyes you intently

Nilan says 'well here you see me'

Nilan bows deeply.

You nod.

Nilan says 'i am not the monster that those would say'

You say 'i have no such words, nor thought likewise'

Nilan says 'you intrigue me ranger'

Strands of stark white hair rebel against a long single braid that cuts down
the middle of his back. Eyes of some unfathomable colour contrast against
flesh as black as night. His dark skin is unmarred except for a long jagged
scar that extends from his left shoulder to the centre of his chest. A
tattoo of a dagger dripping with blood runs the length of his right forearm.
Nilan appears to be Drow Elf and is in excellent condition.

Nilan says 'my name is nilan'

Kanenan raises an eybrow

Nilan bows deeply.

You say 'mine is Kanenan'

Nilan says 'well met....kanenan'

Nilan gets a rothe-hide backpack from his bottomless bag of the Tinkers.

Nilan gets a ring of soul entrapment from his rothe-hide backpack.

Nilan gives a ring of soul entrapment to Nilan.

You nod.

Nilan says 'you see i posses it'

Kanenan looks at the ring curiously

You nod.

Nilan says 'a show of good faith incase you doubted my claim'

You shake your head negatively.


Nilan says 'what do you sense about this ring'

You say 'i believed you to have a ring, but i still have no feelings about it'

Nilan fingers it slowly in his palm

Nilan says 'nothing?'

You say 'what do i sense?'

You say 'i sense nothing, for i know nothing'

Nilan says 'yes...sense...is it evil? is it good?'

Nilan says 'most claim it is wicked and must be destroyed'

You say 'i believe it could be very neutral in nature, but that which seeks to trap a soul is evil by default.. only evil could torment one in inertial hell.. but a good cause may drive it as well'

You say 'because to attain peace, great evils must be performed sometimes..'

You say 'such as the banishment of "your people"'

Nilan says 'interesting words from a Tel'Quessir'

You say 'for example'

Nilan says 'according to all these rings must be destroyed'

You say 'twelve, no?'

Nilan says 'no offense taken...yet'

You detach from reality for a moment, pondering.

Nilan says 'aye 12'

Nilan says 'see you have heard'

You say 'no, you have said'

Nilan says 'did you also know how they are to be destroyed'

You say 'this is very curious indeed.. for yesterday i had an overwhelming vision that left me perplexed'

Nilan says 'all twelve must assemble and simultaneously cast each ring into the fires of avernus'

< P: sit > You say 'and later, i remembered littel of it..'

Nilan says 'i shall refreash your memory then'


Nilan says 'unless all twelve are so cast it is said demons will destroy our lands'

You wiggle to find the most comfortable position.

Nilan says 'yours....and mine'


Nilan says 'while i care little for your lands i do so greatly care for mine'

Nilan says 'do you know who has spoken this profecy?'

You say 'but yet if they are not destroyed, your lands will suffer?'

Nilan says 'ah thats if you believe what is said'

Nilan says 'i dont'
You say 'unless they are destroyed the lands will lay in ruin?'

You say 'no.. i do not know who said this thing'

Nilan says 'Sssazz Tam, a lich of thay'

You nod.

Nilan says 'and his minions'

You pull out your unused thinking cap, and begin to think.

Nilan says 'so i ask you'

You say 'a deceitful soul'

Nilan says 'do you believe this profecy'

Nilan says 'do you believe mere words of a lich'

You say 'i can not answer without contemplation'

Nilan says 'i carry hard evidence'
You say 'it could be truth, but yet it could be the way to destroy the lands.. a falsity.. destroy them or else, or destroy them to unlock the souls within them'

Nilan says 'evidence which tells me that these rings must not be destroyed'

Nilan says 'but i am drow'

You nod.
You say 'yes.. and the other chosen ones.. who are they?'

Nilan says 'i do not expect the surface to accept or even listen to my words or the evidence i carry'

Nilan says 'so i did the only thing i thought to save my people'

Nilan says 'to stop a ritual'

You say 'understandable..'

Nilan says 'i acquired one of these rings myself....not chosen as the others'

Nilan says 'and i will die before i see this ring pried from my hands and cast into the pit in avernus'


You say 'have you worn it?'

Nilan says 'do you consider me a monster now?'
You say 'for trying to avert the destruction of your land?'

You say 'no..'
You say 'and at the same time avoiding destrruction of the lands of the greys?'

Nilan says 'i was curious but no i will not wear it others have worn it and it controls them'

You say 'nay as well'

You say 'i can respect you deeply for this'

You agree with Nilan.

Nilan says 'i have few allies elf'

You are getting thirsty.
You say 'i did not consider you as a monster ever '


Nilan says 'i will stand alone before the army of this lich if i must but i will not allow the ritual to occur'

Nilan says 'i can not'
You say 'so why not hide this ring somewhere else?'

Nilan says 'and risk another find it?'

You say 'you risk much i assume'

Nilan says 'nah'

Kanenan looks at you with great pity and honor...

Nilan says 'i know my path i do not trust another to keep my people safe'

Nilan says 'why do you look at me like that?'

Nilan squints his eyes and peers at you. Wonder what he thinks?
You say 'you are a brave person.. and one with much more heart than i assumed'

Nilan says 'never have i been called that....i am an assassin'
You say 'this sounds like a task that must be consuming of the mind and soul'

< P: sit > You say 'tell me what it is you live for..'

You say 'blood'

You say 'or what is right?'

Nilan says 'my allies grow thin and those i have will betray me'

Nilan says 'what i live for?'
You say 'be it what it may.. you are not just an assassin'
You say 'that is a skill..'

Nilan says 'i live to see my people reclaim the glory that was once theirs....i live for my kin'

Nilan says 'i am not noble...im a mere male....of little station'
You say 'but what you seem to be undertaking now is above the scope of a mere assassin. you are plotting to save something very large, and wil undergo many trials of your skill and heart'
You say 'yet you undertake this doing as a mere male?'

Nilan shoots you a questioning glance
You say 'if these rings are real, and their purpose what you have said, then much power resides in your palm'

Nilan says 'i undertake it because all are blind to see what is really happening'

You say 'that is what i am saying...'

Nilan says 'much power indeed'

You say 'you are not a mere male..'

You say 'you have hindsight and knowledge.. and clean eyes'

Nilan says 'im no monster'

Nilan says 'believe that'

You say 'and you are definitely doing something of great justice for your people.. and, mine.'

Nilan says 'i am trying to stop one though'

Nilan says 'yours?'

You say 'you say that if the rings ARE destroyed.. your lands, and my lands will fall'

Nilan says 'all will'

You say 'but, be it of selfishness, you choose to save yours, at the same time you are saving mine'

You say 'and those of others'

Nilan says 'if yours are saved so be it....mine are all that matter to me'

You nod.

You say 'i can respect that'

Nilan says 'my wife resides within your gated city'

Nilan says 'i can not see her, i can not touch her....i have forgotten what being hugged by her feels like'

Nilan says 'i love her i do not want her harmed because of what i do'

You say 'i know your want.. i can relate to you in this way.'

Nilan says 'they know all 12 must be cast together and they know only i among all will not cast it'
You say 'they know you have it?'

Nilan says 'they will come for this ring or they will use my wife to get it'

You comfort him.

Nilan says 'yes the demon minion death knight aldric discovered it and has told all upon the surface i carry it'

You say 'if it is such a power that drives this deed, they will stop at nothing to get it back nilan'

Nilan says 'i have received threats from the ring bearers themselves'

Nilan looks deep into your eyes

Nilan says 'i know that'

Nilan says 'i know that all to well'

You say 'and now that they know, they will force you to go to avernus?'

Nilan says 'perhaps'

You say 'when must they be cast?'
Nilan says 'when all 12 are recovered'

You detach from reality for a moment, pondering.

You say 'adn how many are recovered thus far?'

Nilan says 'i tried to recover another recently but the ring almost tore me in half when i held it'

Nilan says 'i almost died'

You say 'how is it that you can hold this one?'

Nilan says 'convulsions...i collapsed, began bleeding from within...a drow priestess tended me '

You say 'did you have this one with you at the same time?'

Nilan says 'i think holding both at once was the problem'

Nilan says 'i did'

You nod.

You say 'this is an evil evil thing..'

You shudder.

Nilan says 'i do not believe the soul inside is evil'

Kanenan looks at the floor, tracing the designs with his eyes.. deep in thought...

Nilan says 'infact i have evidence showing that it is not'

You say 'really..?'

You say 'tell me more'
Nilan says 'i have much hard evidence'

Nilan says 'not the words of a lich'

Nilan says 'but i can show you much if you have the time'

You say 'go on'

Nilan says 'okies then listen well'

Nilan says 'I believed that if they werent stopped that eventually the same fate would befall my people in the underdark as well as other underdark races'

Nilan says 'My people, the Drow people, mean the world to me. I will see my kin take back what was taken from them so long ago. I will see the drow nation rise to glory once again'

Nilan says 'so i agreed to meet this Grey Elf....an enemy of his people. But at the same time, kin to my elven wife, Elisten'

You nod.

Nilan says 'n meeting this Elf i learned of rumors of House Rilant'tyr and a missing child. About the involvement of some insane man in a tower controlled by the elements (air, earth, fire, water). Coincidently , these 4 elements are also what controlls the weather'

Nilan says 'So , i agreed to assassinate whomever necessary to obtain a book that is rumored to contain some information and a bag. Perhaps there are clues to this missing drow.'

< P: std > Kanenan 's eyes pace around the tent.. in awe of what his ears are seeing...

Nilan says 'you are braver than most so far none dare listen to my words'

Nilan bows deeply before you in a gesture of recognition.

You bow deeply.

You say 'i have noticed new things in my lands, which i rarely leave'

You say 'i have been hit by visions that i could not understand'

You say 'i have found the bones of children'

Nilan says 'i do not consult the surface folk would not band together to help the drow people. Having dealt with the surface before, i dont believe they will aid him'

You say 'i see less and less wild life'

Nilan says 'see perhaps what i say means something to you then'

You nod.

You say 'thus far, yes..'

Nilan says 'listen further'

You say 'and now, more so'

You say 'yes'

You sit down and relax.

You give yourself a good stretch, in an attempt to relax your body.

Nilan says 'i return to Orbdrin D'oloth, my guild. There i gains aid to assassinate this evil man in the tower and retrieve the book'

You say 'this of the tower is very powerful Nilan'

You nod.
Nilan says 'indeed it was'

Nilan says 'many in my party were slain'

Nilan says 'the assassination was completed however'

Nilan says 'Returning the book to the Elf , both me and the Elf discover a message'


Nilan says 'would you like to read it'

Nilan gets a silvery sack from his bottomless bag of the Tinkers.

You say 'yes'


Nilan gets a rough piece of thinned bark from his silvery sack.

Nilan says 'interesting'

Nilan says 'please return it when you finish'

You say 'let me see this bark'

You receive a rough piece of thinned bark from Nilan.
There is something written upon it:

Dark Ones,
What must I do to end this suffering? The
rains pound my roof day and night!
What can be done? My crops have no yield, my
family are riddled with sickness. Please help
us! Please!

You give a rough piece of thinned bark to Nilan.

You say 'the elements are represented through colour'

Nilan says 'indeed'

Nilan says 'i then goes back to my kin and shows them (Orbdrin D'oloth) what i learned. They scoffed at me, called me a "slave to the surface" and a "heretic" in that i have aided the surface races. i endured a few smacks, spits and taunts'

Nilan says 'i pocketed the item and now needed aid to aquire this bag (within the same tower). my kin seemed about to lynch my, so i sought out the druid Deshana. a friend'

Nilan says 'i pocketed the item and now needed aid to acquire this bag (within the same tower). my kin seemed about to lynch me, so i sought out the druid Deshana. a friend'

Nilan says 'She agreed to try to obtain this bag. She eventually did, with the help of others and delivered the bag to me. i then took the bag to this Elf.'

Nilan says 'In destroying the bag i located the following.'

You say 'ok.. you assassinated the crazed one in the tower?'

You say 'the bark is from what?'

Nilan says 'an adamantium hair pin - this bore the insignia of House Rilynt'tyr. I believed it to belong to the missing drow child. My trips to the surface have caused the inscrpition upon it to fade.'

Nilan says 'bark was from the book'
Nilan says 'yes hes assassinated'

You say 'and the bag came from whence?'

Nilan gets an adamantium hair pin from his bottomless bag of the Tinkers.

Nilan says 'same tower'

Nilan says 'this is her hair pin'
You say 'the inscription has faded>?'

You say 'since you got it?'
Nilan says 'the missing drow child'

You nod.

Nilan says 'it has faded yes, it used to bear the house insignia rylant'tir'

You say 'very strange no?'
You receive an adamantium hair pin from Nilan.


You say 'i can see nothing on it'

Nilan says 'not really perhaps my visits to the surface have caused it to fade'

You give an adamantium hair pin to Nilan.

Nilan says 'of more disturbing was what i found next'

You peer intently around the room. Looking for something?

Nilan says 'within that bag'

You say 'ok'

Nilan gets a piece of blood soaked paper from his silvery sack.

You raise your eyebrow. Hmmm..

Nilan hands shake as he hands you the bloody paper

You receive a piece of blood soaked paper from Nilan.

You shudder.
Kanenan fears the words that may lurk within the blood
There is something written upon it:

Diary Entry,
Day .... ?
I have been trapped here for so long, will anyone
ever read this? I have been gone so long from my
house. Does anyone know that I still live?
How long have I really been gone? I just know
not if hope is worth the space in my soul.

Nilan says 'its from her'

Nilan says 'you see hard evidence i carry...not mere words from a thayian lich'

Kanenan takes a deep breath as he analyses it

You give a piece of blood soaked paper to Nilan.

Nilan says 'In learning other stuff , I discovered a parchment on the ground speaking of a lich Ssazz Tam. A Thayian. This struck me as interesting because I had heard rumors of a thayian spy soliciting money, arms within WD'

You say 'this is very disturbing news'

Nilan gets a sheet of crimson-dyed parchment from his bottomless bag of the Tinkers.

Nilan says 'yes very'

You receive a sheet of crimson-dyed parchment from Nilan.
There is something written upon it:

You still wish to see me? Shout it as loud as you can,
and I shall have my falcon bring you word of what I wish
to have before you can seek my audience in regards to
the rings of soul entrapment.

Szass Tam

You boggle at that concept.

You shudder.


You give a sheet of crimson-dyed parchment to Nilan.

Nilan says 'The presence of General Alsup, a demon, in WD and Lord Piergieron being err possessed for lack of a better word, also intrigued me. So i inquired of the contacts I have upon the surface'

You say 'shout what as loud as you can?'

Nilan says 'They told me of this Lich Ssazz Tam...however they speak of him as an Ally. They say that there are 12 Soul Stones that he desires destroyed inorder to supposedly stop Demons and an Undead Army from entering these realms'

Nilan says 'i assume his name'

Nilan says 'So far all those people I speak to desire the destruction of these "Evil" stones at all cost.'

You say 'i wish not to'

Nilan says 'I do not believe this lich is an ALLY!!! I believe he desires to bring an undead army into these realms. to bring demons...his demons...into these realms to control it. '

Nilan says 'I learned that Ssazz Tam, has somehow got these people to believe that is they essemble upon this mountain to toss these Soul Stones in to destry them, that these demons will not enter our world'

You say 'hence the visions.. powerful ones in order to create that thought'

Nilan says 'indeed you are catching on'

Nilan says 'Howerver I believe that once these twelve assemble to toss these Soul Stones in the fire they will NOT be destoying these demons, but instead will open a portal to the very foul place where these demons reside, thus gateing them into our realms!!!!'

You say 'HES USING THEM AS SLAVES!'

Nilan says 'yes....'

You agree with Nilan.

Nilan says 'I find it interesting that there are 12 Soul Stones, and equally 12 races upon these realms. '

You say 'this is very hard to take in, yet i can digest it'

Nilan says 'I find it interesting that these Soul Stones are appearing in the hands of one chosen from each of these twelve races.'

Nilan says 'I find it interesting that all 12 must be present to cast into the pit of fier simultaneously'

Nilan says 'I find it interesting that children from many races are reported missing'

Nilan says 'I find in interesting that the note from the drow child speaks of being trapped and of hope for her SOUL'

You say 'this is not good.. not at all.. true'

Nilan says 'I am Drow...I do not believe in coincidences!!!!'

Nilan says 'I believe that these missing children, were abducted quite possibly by this lich Ssazz Tam or his agents'

Nilan says 'i believe they have been imprisoned in these stones to bring about a scarifice worthy of opening a gate to the underworld'

You say 'do you think that they could be used for undead purposes? such as rasiing them with opther souls? giving these unknown souls a home on this world?'

Nilan says 'I believe that its Ssazz Tams desire to open a portal/gate to another plane and gate in this undead army and demon generals'

Nilan says 'i do'

Nilan says 'I believe that once this ritual takes place, this undead army under the control of Ssazz Tam and possibly whatever god he serves will gain control of these realms'

Nilan says 'i believe that that god is Myrkul'

You say 'damnnn'

You raise your eyebrow. Hmmm..

Nilan says 'Myrkul's final words were "if the realms are to be destroyed, then i shall be the one to do it"'

You say 'do you know of the grey ring bearer?'

Nilan says 'deshana'

You gasp in astonishment.

You say 'my heart bleeds for her'

You say 'have you spoken to her?'

You say 'and more importantly .. has she listened?'

Nilan says 'she is my friend'

ilan says 'she is the only one that does not wish to bound me drag me off to be executed'

You nod at him.

Nilan says 'when i posessed both rings and allmost died i spoke in a strange tongue'

Nilan says 'i do not know what i spoke'

Nilan says 'perhaps you do'

You say 'was there witness or record to what you spoke?'

< 271h/271H 130p/130P 135v/135V >
< P: std >
Nilan says 'yes the priestess who aided me'

Nilan says 'these are the words'

You say 'what did you say nilan?'

Nilan says 'Fefran oernic guztrilo revirgna, trzel tuy grrk vedelidz'

Nilan says 'what does it mean....do you know te tongue'

Nilan gets a partially eaten a strip of rothe jerky from his bottomless bag of the Tinkers.


You say 'i am unsure'

Nilan says 'does any sound familiar'

Nilan paces the room

Kanenan seems to strain as he repeats the words over and vover

You say 'it sounds like a cant of some kind, like an invocation.. it is ancient'

You say 'yet i cannot place its origin'

Nilan says 'my god...i never thought of that'

You say 'it seems to be fluid and based on shared language phonetics, yet incorporates harsh vowels with fluid elvish kind..'


You say 'it is of a magical nature'

Nilan says 'so now you know why i stol err aquired this ring....do you condemn me for it'

You say 'that i can assure'

You say 'no'

Nilan says 'perhaps you are right'

You say 'but your doubt in the words of this ssam or whoever he is is notedd.. and i see why'

You say 'and the others fear disobediance..'

Nilan says 'you see'


Nilan says 'and that is why i can not let then....take me'

< P: std > You say 'what if the rings are not destroyed as they say...'

You say 'will we perish? best not risk it'

You say 'yet you are of the observer kind.. like myself.. i too would have questioned many of the same things you did'

Nilan says 'say they say if rings are not destroyed the demon army will conquer the realms'

You say 'and perhaps opted to hold this ring back..'

Nilan says 'so will you hunt me too....when your people do'

You say 'which ring is it you have? of what race was it intended for? may i ask?'

Nilan says 'i honestly do not know'


You detach from reality for a moment, pondering.

Nilan says 'you hestitate to respond to my question'

You say 'will i hunt you too?'

Nilan nods slowly


You say 'when are my people set to hunt you? '

Nilan says 'the rings must be destroyed...all believe that, when mine is not thre they will come'

You say 'no i will not.'

You say 'omg'

You say 'i just remembered'


Nilan begins to ponder on something.

You say 'i was in the moonsheas not long ago'

You say 'and i found this'

Nilan says 'yes'

You get a wooden spinning top from a Llewyrr bag of depth.

You give a wooden spinning top to Kanenan.

Nilan says 'nice toy'

You say 'but it was by the docks.. and not in the mountains, with the child that should normally be playing with it'

Nilan says 'i do not undersand'

You say 'and then i went to llewyrr..'

You say 'the children werent there..'

You say 'they always are'

Nilan says 'none'

You say 'not one'

You say 'i remembered that, but thought nothing of it'

Nilan says 'hmmm'


You say 'and all of these explosions as of late.. you can see them on bgr.. and on em'

You say 'in my land.. volcanoes????????'

You say 'since when?'


You give a dagger of carved bone to Nilan.

You say 'it is not much'

You say 'but take that as a sign from me'

You say 'that i will not hunt you when the question of the ring is up'

Nilan says 'you need not give me anything...im not worthy'

You say 'i will trust you, nilan'

Nilan says 'you guild will hunt me'

You say 'i asked others about the vision i had'

Nilan says 'and others will too'


You say 'noone even respondeed to me'

Nilan says 'may i ask one favor'

You say 'yes'

Nilan says 'you are elven so i shall ask it'

You nod.

Nilan says 'my wife Elisten she is of your folk'

You nod.

You say 'i know her'

You say 'but never of your union'

You say 'ask'


Nilan says 'if i am captured , they will kill me...we both know this'


Nilan says 'your people will execute me for what i am'

Kanenan nods haltingly

You are getting hungry.

Nilan says 'please see that my wife is not there to see that'

You say 'and how could i stop her?'

Nilan says 'its one memory i wish her not to have'

You say 'she is much more powerful than i ...'


Nilan lowers his head and turns away

You say 'and would be called upon for such a task'

Nilan says 'task?'


You say 'if things happen for the worst'

You say 'that war is called'

Nilan says 'do not let her see that'

Nilan says 'please'

You say 'but i will promise you that i will do anything and everything in my power to avoid what you desire.'

Nilan says 'fair enough Tel'Quessir'

frown
What's bothering you?

You say 'my name is kanenan'

Nilan says 'Kanenan'


You bow deeply.

Nilan bows low

You say 'this has been much news to ponder'

Nilan says 'do not speak of what we spoke of openly'

You say 'and much information to figure out'


Nilan says 'it is dangerous'


You say 'i understand that'


Nilan says 'Kenanan, one more thing'


You say 'alot of background questions i had, are now in the immediate foreground'

Nilan fingers a dagger at his waist


You say 'alot of visions.. dreams..'


Nilan says 'do not betray me'


Nilan says 'your people and mine stand to suffer'


Kanenan cracks a one tooth grin at you.. eyes deadly serious.

You say 'i am only as strong as my word my friend.. '


You say 'which is indestructable once spoken'


Nilan says 'lets hope you have honor and it is strong'

You say 'and to you i give it'


Nilan says 'stay safe then'

You say 'i informed suimar of our initial contact.. but not of the rings.. only that first few lines of dialgoue..'

You say 'i may be questioned..'

<Nilan says 'suimar'


Nilan spits over his left shoulder.

Kanenan breathes deeply


Nilan says 'he desires drow blood on his blades'

You say 'he, nilan, is a friend.. i cannot be torn.. he is a general, set to a code.. '


You say 'i cannot change his heart, but i can reveal mine.'


Nilan says 'i want nothing to do with him or the Tel'Quessir...they have sworn to butcher my people'


You say 'i once did too.. your haughty hatred.. as you call it'


Nilan says 'what do your follow,....your general or your word'

You say 'but you are far from "drow"... as others would say it'


Nilan says 'when he orders me dragged before him in chains will you do it because he ordered it?'

l nilan
<
You rub your chin and ponder about him.


You say 'no nilan'


You say 'have i not already given you my word'

You say 'have i not said i would not allow your wife to see you at that time?'


You say 'have i not listened to you fully?'


You say 'no, i would not.'

You say 'you have revealed much to me tonight'


You say 'and most makes sense..'


Nilan says 'and i risk much in doing so'


Nilan says 'take it to your general then if you must....i will await his elven arrow'

You say 'it is on a shadow of a doubt that you do not cast the ring into avernus, and on the same shadow, i will not seek you nilan'
Nilan spits over his left shoulder.


You say 'take what to my general?'


You say 'itake nothing'


Nilan says 'information i have told to you...you will wont yu?'


You shake your head negatively.


Nilan says 'and if he asks'


You say 'you underestimate and still confuse me with someone else nilan'


Nilan says 'i do not for a second think he approved of our meeting'


You say 'he knows not of it'


You say 'noone does'


Nilan says 'i thought you said he will question you'


Nilan squints his eyes and peers at you. Wonder what he thinks?


Nilan says 'what will you tell them'


Nilan folds his arms before him

say i told him what you said to me initially.. and perhaps i did stutter what you said to me... Nilan tells you 'i carry one of the twelve chosen rings should i not destroy mine when the others do,the ritual will fail and it is said that demons shall unleash a fury that will destroy the surface.....ware your tongue elf and insult me no more. for i am on the surface, come to me if you dare'
You say 'i told him what you said to me initially.. and perhaps i did stutter what you said to me... Nilan tells you 'i carry one of the twelve chosen rings should i not destroy mine when the others do,the ritual will fail and it is said that demons shall unleash a fury that will destroy the surface.....ware your tongue el'

You say 'because at first you were challenging me..'
ou say 'that is all i couldve said'

Nilan says 'good. that is all he need know'


You nod.
You say 'tha IS all he knows..'
You say 'frrom me'

Nilan says 'tell him in a demon if you must he will believe that'

You throw back your head and cackle with insane glee!

You flash a wicked grin at him.

You say 'i may choose to say nothing at all'

You say 'i mostly keep my affairs private'


Nilan says 'i despise him and his order'


Nilan says 'best to keep it between us'


You say 'i have good friends in the clan'


Nilan says 'i risk much by speaking to you'

You say 'but you are a friend as well nilan.. i risk alot as well'

You say 'as i said before i do not hate your kind.. but seek an understanding and a harmony.. here , tonight, we have sparked one'

Nilan says 'do not think for a second you have my trust'

Nilan says 'trust is not a word in our toungue'

You say 'although my Gods may curse me for this meeting, i do not.'

You nod.

Nilan says 'the gods'

Nilan spits over his left shoulder.

You say 'i now have a question then'

Nilan eyes you suddenly

You say 'why did you reveal all of this to me?'

Nilan says 'because....'

You say 'if you did not trust me, or believe i would be silent about it?'

You say 'why do you ask me to save your love from seeing her love die? if you do not trust me in some way?'

Nilan says 'because your people should know they are making a big mistake'

You say 'we are?'
You say 'deshana .. is she to cast the ring?'

Nilan says 'its not just deshana'

Nilan says 'your people will hunt me soon enough'

Nilan tells you 'i trust none suspect you'

You tell Nilan 'our meeting was ours alone nilan.. '

Nilan tells you 'i told then i took you hostage and let you go to deliever a message regarding your fair queen. they will never connect you to having dealing with a drow elf'

You tell Nilan 'and my queen is something different altogether. be forwarned.. that any action against her will see your complete destruction.. do not take this diectly.. but you will be sought out and slaughtered for such an action. i am too small.. but there are many who are great who will search for you.'

Nilan tells you 'i will be sought and and slaughtered regardless my friend, and you know this'

You tell Nilan 'deshana prepares herself before me.. her ritual garb says enough..'
Nilan tells you 'what do you mean...'

You tell Nilan 'her vestige speaks of the task at hand.. your name will be sought soon enough..'

Nilan tells you 'i expected nothing more from one who thinks he is Tel'Quessir....hunt me then...at your peril and your nations destruction'

t nilan have you not given thought to the possiblity that if all the rings are cast, save yours, you will encounter terrors beyond your wildest dreams? you may simply die by the ring.. and someone will come to cast into avernus.. regarding deshana her gear is ritualistic.. i see her now before me. perhaps i am mistaken, but she looks very sullen indeed..

Nilan tells you 'i have given that possibility thought yes...but i must chance it. i will stand alone before the armies of both ssazz tam, the surface, and yes even your precious lil band'

Nilan tells you 'if you were me, would you do less'
You tell Nilan 'hehehe... so ye shall. and no, in your place i would not.'

Nilan tells you 'really? what then would you do'
You tell Nilan 'i would not do anything different.. thats what i mean.'


See now, how I had just joined th Tel'Quessir this day. And that my nerves were somewhat shot. The fact that this Assassin began attacking me out of nowhere, only helped to irk me, or make me feel awkwardly afraid of what others might think of our meeting.
Now days later, I can publish my diary of our meeting, and fear no repercussion. While Nilan chooses to do what he must, in the name of only his kin, he is at the same time saving others.. but his stubbornness.. if he weren't bent on trying to kill my queen… I have much respect for this man.. for he has yet to deceive me.
And even yet, he still fails, as most do, to be able to recognize my level of empathy and understanding. I judge noone. Lest they commit some horror to me, or my blood. I easily forgive and forget, and until trust is challenged, I feel most would like to trust me.
The rings may well be the end of us all..
And all though I would love to turn all of this into a story format, its much too long!! (( almost three hours?! ))

A story format? There are many, and this is already one of them.

[kanenan]

Nilan.. seek me.
It seems as though you did destroy the ring, for there are demons walking the lands that I used to call Friends. And they are causing much disturbance.
