Title: The Great Convention of Magicks and Mages= a player organized event- can you hel
Post by: Roled on March 12, 2013, 10:35:34 pm
Spring break!
:sweatdrop: As promised, we’re working on the planning for the first to my knowledge ever Domewide Convention of all things magical and all players, magic training or not!

And by “we’re” I mean   :whistling: YOU!!!   :love: And me!   And anyone/ everyone who wants to help and participate!  :thumbup:

The ideas are still in the planning stages, so there’s lots of room for your suggestions. And as player organized, its another chance for anyone to help make this a great roleplaying opportunity for all.

TIME AND DATE: I’m thinking Sat March 24, 10 am to 2 or 3 pm PDT, which I think is GM-8 or -9 depending on daylight time zones in Europe.

LOCATION: Somewhere where there is enough space that lagging/ crashing from magic and items is minimized, somewhere close to a city so travel is easy for newer players, safe from mobs, and with room for a variety of activities AND social space for rping.
Like maybe right outside East Gate of Hydlaa on the grassy plane before the portal? Ideas?

People who know about lag and such (which isn’t me) please suggest the ‘best’ spot

ACTIVITIES I’ve been thinking about.

 :sorcerer: The MASTERS OF ALL WAYS: A presentation panel featuring at least one full Master player from each Way.  The Masters will talk briefly about their magic, and why it’s the best. This isn’t meant as a debate, but instead, as a recruitment and informative discussion, with Q and A from attendees, and demonstrations of spells from each Way.

Maybe even a demonstration of the rarest of glyphs used in a spell, so those of us who will never find that glyph or train that high might see the spell in use, and hear it described?

 :sorcerer: The INNER SANCTUM of MASTERY : a time specifically for those in magic training, and especially on the master quests, to meet each other from different ways, to lend and borrow items we need to advance in our master quests, and come back quickly to each other.

 :sorcerer: THE GRAND FEAST OF MAGICK: An all day offering of food and beverages with lots of long tables to sit down and have conversations in a purely social rp environment.  Could include an offering of toasts, or special flaming desserts!

 :sorcerer: SPELL BINDING DEMONSTRATIONS of magic and magic lessons, alchemy, enchantments, for small group role plays and for those newer to magic ingame to ask questions, meet fellow magicians, ask for magical help in role plays, etc. Some can be scheduled – other lessons can combust spontaneously throughout the event, but perhaps not during the ‘big’ community wide parts- the Masters of all Ways presentations, and the Tales of Magic storytelling.  This would be a great place for Guilds to staff booths or areas giving ongoing demos.

 :sorcerer: The Merchants of Magicks Market:  Stalls and booths by anyone who wants to sell magic related items- enchanted armor, potions and alchemies, glyphs, books on magic, well, frankly, anything folks want to sell, but with an emphasis on magick stuff.

 :sorcerer: Mage vs. Mage: For those who like dueling, there could be competitions and matches.  Again someone who knows about dueling and how to make it fair, we need your technical and rping expertise to organize and run such a tournament.

 :sorcerer: The Arts of Magick- Guilds and/ or individuals are invited to set up sculptures on the perimeters of the fair grounds (like those great ‘palm trees’) made out of everyday items. Magically themed entries are encouraged.  Players view the sculptures throughout the event, and vote (in a public book) for their one favorite: the winning team/ artist gets some good prize.

 :sorcerer: Tales of Magick and Wonder: And ending the day, with the help of the weather goddess and the GMs, as darkness falls, the campfires are lit, and torches ring the circle of magic.  All gather for the great Tales of Magic storytelling!  The ale flows, and the listeners sit in the ‘dark’ , under the enchantment of really good stories!  These short stories could come from rps, or could be fictions, whatever. The best tale teller will get a big prize, like maybe a rare glyph or rare enchanted weapon, or something!  \\o//

Other ideas????  ::|

There is room for all players of any skill levels from zero to High Masters to celebrate the Magic of our Dome.
Who would like to help?
   Be a High Master Way presenter/ speaker (what way are you master in?)
   Teach tips about magic and its uses
   Demonstrate and discuss alchemy
   Demonstrate and discuss enchanted armor, buffs

Town criers about the event, encouraging folks to sign up in advance for some events
Make flyers for IG passing out to everyone!
  Coordinate a magic duel tournament, or contest, or just little competitions, I don’t know!
  Bring food and drink
  Arrange the food and drink tables, with some decorations that won’t lag us all too much

Set up and clean up
Coordinate the placement for the sculptures
Coordinate the Arts judging
Coordinate and emcee the Tales of Magick
Recruit storytellers for the tales of Magick
Get campfires and torches and set up/’ clean up same

Overall timing coordinators- 2-3 stage managers who can be there for the whole event to keep things on course.

I know this is ambitious! But hey it’s SPRING  :sweatdrop: BREAK and I don’t have the bucks to go to  X-/ Cancun!!
Who wants to play?   :love: We need YOU!  :love:

Your Spellbinding Elf,
Roled

Hmm, this sounds more extensive than the Ball, but I hope you can pull it all off.

However, I would say that people could start RPing about it now, say RPing getting their character prepared for it, and start building up the buzz and expectation of it. Even characters that aren't magically inclined or that can't make it themselves can start finding ways to work it into their RPs.

However, to assist in making things like flyers and spreading the word, who is ICly putting this on and what, if any, advertising lines would you like to use?

It can be used to fill in templates such as these:
__________




¸ø•*`*•ø¸Great Convention of Magicks¸ø•*`*•ø¸

[IC Event Oraganizers] is looking for mages of all ways and levels to attend a convention on the current issues regarding the Ways in the Dome Capital, Hydlaa. Come and learn about ways previously not explored, learn new techniques and tricks, recruit trainees, or merely come to socialize with fellow mages.

Events of the Convention:
[bulleted list of finalized events]


Come join us for [finalized time and date] in [finalized location]


__________


¸ø•*`*•ø¸Great Convention of Magicks¸ø•*`*•ø¸

Looking to join a way? Haven't decided which to follow or who to ask about such things? Come to The Great Convention of Magicks and Mages in the Dome capital of Hydlaa. Hear commentary from mages already trained in the various ways, exchange thoughts and learn new concepts from other trainees, come and socialize with your fellow mages.

¸ø•*`*•ø¸Great Convention of Magicks¸ø•*`*•ø¸

Have magical goods to sell but not the magical users to sell it to? Know that you have an item with magical properties but no clue who might want it? Just need to quickly get rid of magical items?

Then come join [IC event organizers] at The Great Convention of Magicks and Mages in Hydlaa where there will be a convergence of mages and magical goods. Ply your wares to mages of all ways an interested lookers on. Finally free up that shelf space that has been taken up by unsold magical goods.

Nice idea Roled. I have some questions/comments.

When you say 'A presentation panel featuring at least one full Master player from each Way.' I presume you mean an IC master so someone who has gained the rank by questing (and has masters items). As players use to confuse the two, I don't know how clear the difference is now amongst you all.

When it comes to time, do you mean Saturday the 23rd or Sunday the 24th? One problem with this is that it is only one weekend between now and then. I personally plan in terms of weekends as that's when most people are on and can learn about any events. So if you want this to go down well in 11or12 days you're going to need to get a move on with getting everything setup and advertise heavily this week(end) and get people signed up for doing things (you should also list them all here when you do so people can see how many are coming). You should pester sarva right now to get him to post this on the calender.

East Hydlaa is probably a suitable place for it. I can put the stage back there so it can be used. And there are already all the stalls/tables/chairs. The cooking/alchemy equipment can be moved back as well for anyone wanting to RP cook/alchemise(?) with.

Temporary KAs could also be added to archmages along with crazy levrus, if you want some more advertising. I can't do this directly as i don't have access so (unless Talad is nice and gives me access like I want) it needs a day or two to get added and then taken down after.

Locking stuff down to advertise is easy, any gm can do that.

Might (fingers crossed) have a selection of magic books released by then, if so ill turn up and sell em.

I think with all the activities if you get a good set of people to help you with each one it could go down really well.

Wow Roled you really was serious =]

Awesome ! Count me in for any kind of help you might need for preparation.

+ Azure Way Master signing in ! :sorcerer:

Maybe a message on Hydlaa board ?
If each people advertise inside their guild already, it would spread the word !

That's a great idea! :D
Congratulation Roled!
Maybe some GM's run char can auction/sell/RP gift some of the rarest glyph to the way's trainee (my idea is to allow a way student to gain access to the rarest glyph necessary to learn more advanced spells while those glyphs are not yet available through the related way quest chain).

I may be hardly available in game until the event, but this gave me a deadline to finish outlining my character and get the hell back into the game, so thumbs up for doing this.
Can't wait to attend the convention and I really do wish you all the luck in making it happen. If you come up short a pair of hands feel free to drop me a PM, I may not be the most up to date player but an old dog still has things worth sharing.

Title: Re: The Great Convention of Magicks - Update - ASAP VOTE! and sign up
Post by: Roled on March 14, 2013, 04:46:55 pm
Thanks so far to folks who are volunteering to help, and for the good suggestions all. 

FIRST TO CLARIFY TIME - /me facepalms . I meant Saturday.  Maybe Sat the 30th would give us more time to organize as Ven reminds me.... Who votes for Sat 23? Who votes for the 30th? 10 am to 2 or 3 Pacific Daylight time.  Voting means you can come then and will do your best to be there!

We NEED all of you, as Illy and Ven point out, not a lot of time to organize. Here's 1) specifically needed energy from you for a few pre-event organizing roles, and 2) answers to questions and unclear things from my little brain.  (I put some names in ? as suggestions and nudges only- no one has firmly committed yet so if you're interested in coordinating one of these areas but I didn't put you name in, VOLUNTEER!! there is room for all!!! I will attempt to act as liaison coordinator for all the activities within the event)

1)The Magicks Convention needs someone please in each of these roles, to start talking things up Now please!

A) Master Mage Panel Coordinator- find Masters (folks who have done the Quest series and have picked one Way and Mastered in it through the Quests) for each way and get them to commit to attending at least for that hour. (Gova? Herihi?)

B) STORYTELLING Coordinator: Recruit 5 or 6 folks ready to tell their stories and commit to attending at least for that hour.  One story focusing on each of the Ways would be tremendously superb! (Illy? Aleeana?)

c) GUILD ART SCUPTURE Coordinator: Recruit 4-5 guilds to commit to making a 'magical' sculpture to be ready by the beginning of the event. (Dannae?  Marianna?)

d) Merchant Coordinator: Recruit people to set up and sell some stuff (Taya? Derator?)

E) Coordinator of Cooks: Recruit people to bring foods and drinks of different types- 10 to 12 folks at least bringing food! (Lumi? Minks?)

f) Duel Coordinator Set up the system, make the duel schedule, oversee the matches (Bonifarza? )

g) In Game/ Forum PR Coordinator: Make ig books to announce events, once the schedule is set (by this Friday night PDT) ; make schedule postings on forums, help get the word out quickly to folks .
This is a need that anyone can help pass info around to everyone you play with and see this weekend... but making the flyers etc is not my skill. (Illy? maybe a Guild could do this too? Is there a magician focused guild?)  Venalan thanks for the KA as soon as we nail down the date I thank you in advance for having world announcements!! 
 \\o//  \\o//

THANKS!!!!!! This could be fun! It will be more fun if YOU are there!

Answering questions:

Date- VOTE for March 23 or March 30- SATURDAYS!

 Master Mage Panelistsyes Venalan I meant Quested masters, not rp masters.. It doesn't mean you can't rp you are a master, but for the panel, actual skills and quests experienced people to help ICly talk about what Mastery of Ways is actually like to play.  Need to be able to cast spells as demonstrations.

Entevir- always a welcome to old dogs- wanna make hot dogs for the feast? heheh- Really you are welcome!

Ven-Eowind- thanks!!! I will get to you asap about potential prizes so we can advertize.  Sarva- thanks for correcting the posting to Saturday-- may need to change to the 30th when we see today's response to this notice.  Moia yes of course, welcome welcome!!

All newer Citizens- this is a low commitment event chance for you to meet folks, learn things that are both useful and lore related, and get tips from longer term players about how to do stuff-and a great chance for practicing in character role playing.

I'm not sure if I can make those times but we'll see. But, I will do what I can to try and find some other storytellers. However, next time you do an event this large in such a short period of time, please hand out the magic wands first. ;)

I'll see what we can do about flyers, but that's what the templates I posted earlier are for, we just need the specifics and then we can plug and chug in terms of forum posts. The words can also be used for in game flyers as well.

Good luck with this, it looks promising. So the time window is about 10-15 GMT-7 if i got that right. Good that the events.php will give you a count-down timer to avoid time zone confusions once you have things settled.

After talking to lots of folks in game and several here, it seems Saturday the 30th is the preferred date.  I know LigH it's Easter weekend, and I am really sorry we're likely to conflict with people's holiday.  The Saturday before Easter is often a quieter day for those of the christian persuasion, but I know not always.

None the less- it's now FIRMLY 30th March, Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm ish (or longer) Pacific Daylight Time, in East Hydlaa and outside on the lawn.

Folks are offering to help! Here's who's on board so far:  WE STILL NEED  :thumbup: YOU!! :sorcerer:

A) Master Mage Coordinator- Caraick has offered to be CW Master speaker and will help look for other way masters.  I think Mariana has offered to represent Red Way.  We need you Dark, Azure, Blue, and Brown Masters please!!!  See Caraick or Roled ig or pm either of us here.

B) STORYTELLING Coordinator: Illysia has offered to recruit 5 or 6 folks ready to tell their stories! See Illy or me ig.

c) GUILD ART SCUPTURE Coordinator: CALLING VISUAL ARTISTS-   ::| Still needed  ::|- If you want to help, please step up! Anyone see  Dannae to ask her?

d) Merchant Coordinator: ::| Still needed  ::|Recruit people to set up and sell some stuff (Taya? Derator?)

E) Coordinator of Cooks: Lumi has offered to bring food and recruit cooks!! See Lumi or me!

f) Duel Coordinator:  Lesson in "be careful what you ask for!  ;D  Herihi has offered to set up 20 death matches, or so she says... See Herihi, but watch your back!  :whistling:

g) In Game/ Forum PR Coordinator: Illy drafted some words, and will start to PR- ::| Still needed  ::| 2-3 more folks to get the word out ig please.

Venalan thanks for doing npc world announcements!!

This sounds like it should be a lot of fun, and I'll definitely try to make it.  I shouldn't volunteer to help though because I don't know if I'll be available and for how long, plus my client is really buggy and prone to crashes so there's no guarantee I'll even be able to make it in game even if I'm free.  But, this looks really well planned out and it should be fun.  I have an up-and-coming DW mage/alchemist who would definitely be interested.  If I can come I'll try to bring some potions or something to set out.

Just out of curiosity, how are things going to be arranged?  Will each Circle have its own little area/section? Or will it all be kinda lumped together?

It could be kind of fun to get some friendly (or not so friendly) competitions going between members of the different Ways.

Post by: Roled on March 19, 2013, 11:12:35 pm
tman- thanks I hope you can make it.

The schedule is a combination of people all Ways together (the Master Mage's panel and Q&A), smaller group demos (by Way), duels could be arranged between opposing way members to 'see which Way is best' hahahha.  And then just social rping time where you are likely to meet others of your Way, or learn more about magicks you haven't studied yet.

Schedule will be posted soon - we need a few more leader/volunteers  before I post.

A little bit of something for everyone, and rping for all!
Thanks, see you there!

To help get the word out about the Convention. I've made up some flyers and set out some crates for making them availible to everyone. The crates are located between Harn's Smithy and Octarch's Way on the edge of the plaza.

Please take a flyer and help to distribute others. Also, please help me to keep the crates stocked with flyers. You can get books from Jayose and copy the flyer text into a .txt file. Save them with your other stored books and quickly load the file to make new flyers. I would suggest keeping the title short like > [Flyer] Great Convention of Magicks.

Below is the flyer text. Copy and paste as is into a txt file and it should load properly in game. It only looks funny because it is formatted for the books.

Gova here.  What about compiling a grimoire (shut up firefox it is too a word) containing glyph combinations submitted by attendees? That should help new players out a bit.  I'm also planning on releasing a couple books I've been working on regarding magic enchantments of the looted kind.
Title: Re: The Great Convention of Magicks and Mages= a player organized event- can you hel
Post by: Roled on March 21, 2013, 11:19:36 pm
Shatteringly kissy Gova-
grimoire! great word!

I admit my little elfbrain can't get around your first point- do you mean attendees make up possible glyph combos and name then, that don't actually exist, or do you mean glyph combos that do make implemented spells?  We are thinking that during the demos time, right after the Master's panel, people can ask one on one knowledgeable expert players about spells and how to find them.

Or am I totally not understanding you?

And the books, yes indeed, great! I will put you down on the vendors list! Thanks Gova!

Oh I just mean collecting the known spells in one book for attendees.  I could also work on determining the effects of player-made enchantments, but I'll have to try and find some time and a partner to help.  Only way to test those is to blast at someone wearing them and see what happens...

I'm currently trying to collect diamond crystals enchanted with glyphs from Ways other than Crystal, as I can't do them myself.  Hopefully it won't take too long to find some.

Edit:  Actually it might be quite difficult to find them.  Help!!!

No worries, Tessra. Enjoy the holidays.


We are now looking for a replacement Blue Way Master. If you or someone you know has some mad Blue Way skills, shoot me a message! We also are still in need of an AW Master!

So... I didn't think I could be here for this, but now it turns out that I 'probably' can be.

I don't think I want to do any kind of merchanting, but if there is a role I can fill, either from Tay or an alt, let me know.

(Tay can cast pretty much any spell unless there are ones I have not found, so if you are short on demonstrations for any certain way, just give the word.)

Hey Taya! GREAT you can come! Are you a Blue Master, by any chance? IF you have high blue lvls, please pm Caraick asap- it would be great if you filled in for Tesh on the panel, first event.

and ALLL
Don't forget to come early enough Saturday to join the parade of Mages, Magicians, and Citizens All! If you have robes and staffs, please wear them! Please don't cast spells during the parade, so we won't risk too many crashes!

SEE YOU AT MAGCON!!!

I'm not a blue way master, but I can RP faking it if you are really desperate? Not sure if that would be too confusing though, but I do have all the glyphs and spells. Let me know.

For those of you wanting to participate in the Parade!

The Parade starts at 10AM PDT! If you're participating in the Festival, or just coming to visit, Roled and Caraick invite you to take part! We will be meeting at 9:50 just outside of the Oja Road portal outside of East Hydlaa.  Note that you don't have to be a member of the Magic Panel, or any of the other events to participate! Try and get there on time so you can be a part of the parade!

We'll see you all tomorrow at the Festival!

This seemed to be an extremely well attended event in spite of the holiday. According to server stats, peak was about 77 people which means it probably could have been higher during another time. It is probably worth it to keep in mind to do this event again some time.

(18:22:44) [Shout] Caraick smiles to Roled, and steps up onto the stage. He turns to the crowd. "It is my great privilege to introduce to you five Masters of their respective Ways. First, we have Master Herihi, of the Dark Way!"
(18:23:01) Eldazar claps for Herihi
(18:23:07) Mordaan claps
(18:23:13) [Shout] Caraick motions for the Panelists to step up onto the stage as they are introduced.
(18:23:14) Menille cheers

(18:23:19) Herihi smiles slightly as she steps up onto the stage.

(18:24:10) Mordaan claps

(18:24:12) Qed waves to Wolferz
(18:24:16) Menille claps loudly for Wolferz
(18:24:26) Aluna smiles as she claps.
(18:24:39) [Shout] Caraick turns to his right, then. "Next is Master Jilare, of the Red Way!"
(18:24:57) Mordaan claps again
(18:24:58) Qed claps
(18:25:00) Jilare bows
(18:25:03) Gorub claps
(18:25:04) Menille claps for Jilare
(18:25:10) Zirkon claps
(18:25:13) Pakerl applauds merrily
(18:25:37) [Shout] Caraick looks to his right once more, and gestures with his staff. "Please welcome Master Taya, of the Blue Way!"
(18:25:57) Mordaan applauds
(18:26:00) [Shout] Caraick shouts: And last, but certainly not least, Master Lumi, of the Azure Way!
(18:26:04) Menille claps or Taya
(18:26:08) Stalfos cheers
(18:26:11) Mordaan remembers he has a robe and puts it on
(18:26:12) Gorub claps
(18:26:13) Pakerl yells "Hoorray, Taya!"
(18:26:21) Lumi smiles and claps too
(18:26:25) Qed smiles to Lumi
(18:26:30) Zif yea for Taya
(18:26:31) Stalfos realises he should have worn his robe over his armour not under
(18:26:31) Kaerli continues to applaud for the panelists
(18:26:35) Menille claps for Lumi
(18:26:39) Shelte steps over to take a seat as he legs start to ache.
(18:26:44) Lumi mumbles :" small in front !"
(18:26:55) Gonger says: Cheers to the panelists!
(18:27:13) Zif yes,yes, to them all
(18:27:30) Mordaan applauds
(18:27:32) [Shout] Caraick waits for the applause to die down, before raising his voice once more. "Today, I will give each of the Panelists a chance to speak briefly on their Way. Then, I will pose a fewe questions to the Panel, before opening it up to any questions that you, the audience might have!"
(18:29:23) [Shout] Caraick takes a step back, in line with the other Panelists, and gestures to Wolferz. "Master Wolferz, would you care to start by providing a brief speech about your chosen Way?"
(18:29:46) Wolferz nods and takes a small step forwards
(18:31:15) [Shout] Gag shouts: Let's welcome a Derghir to town!
(18:31:25) Mordaan's eyes catch Azarnith
(18:31:54) Kaerli waves to Azarnith "Greetings Azarnith, its good to see an old friend and mentor here."
(18:32:05) Barike turns and bows slightly to Azarnith
(18:32:15) Lumi notices Azarmith aswell and waves to him
(18:32:16) Gag says: And I forgot my Derghan Bell in my storage...
(18:32:25) Stalfos wonders what the Derghir is doing here
(18:32:29) Azarnith pulls out a bell and sets it in front of itself. It nods to the stage and hunkers down with eyes toward the stage.
(18:32:37) Kaerli says: I think he's here for the convention, too.
(18:33:24) Zalya leaves the food table for the moment to get a good look at the new creature that has wandered into town, staring at Azarnith in awe.
(18:33:37) Ezh says: 'My thanks good sir'
(18:33:58) Herihi eyes the dergir suspiciously, wondering why its come into town.
(18:34:24) Kaerli says: Welcome to the Faire and Convention of Mages and Magics.
(18:34:35) Kaerli smiles to Azarnith "I hope you enjoy your time here."
(18:34:42) Zalya looks to the stage, and then departs back to the stand.
(18:35:46) Kaerli says: Greetings Sorcianna.
(18:35:50) Kaerli waves to the Ynnwn.
(18:35:54) Azarnith nods slowly to Kaerli and returns its attention back to the stage.
(18:36:14) Sorcianna waves, smiling. "Hello, Kaerli"
(18:37:33) Menille says: Respect for the speakers please...
(18:38:13) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: Brown way is the way of nature, its is usualy used in deffence, but nature can be a powerful force when it is weilded in battle
(18:38:59) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: followers of the brown way also have the ability to influence the will of animal and plant life
(18:39:15) Qed says: as Levrus says, let's shout of ways
(18:39:35) Lumi giggles to Qed comments, discretly.
(18:39:39) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: due to its strong conection to nature, many of xiosia's followers practice it or at lease have a knowledge of it
(18:39:53) [GM] Aldaaren Phostle shouts: The Derghir menace is upon us
(18:40:10) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: its also has the ability to harden objects or cause strange effects to their weight
(18:40:24) Qed casts sound deprivation to Aldaaren
(18:40:34) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: although perhaps not the most widely practiced way it certainly has hidden power
(18:40:35) Lumi mumbles : " Oh nooo; not Aldaaren , not now"
(18:40:56) [Shout] Wolferz shouts: I would encourage anyone interested in it to persue an understanding of it
(18:41:05) [Shout] Gag shouts: Aldaaren ... you - have - no - idea!
(18:41:28) Wolferz rolls his eyes upon hearing Aldaaren
(18:41:32) [Shout] Caraick shouts: steps forward, as Wolferz finishes. The Clamod bows his head in thanks, then gestures to his left. "Next is Master Herihi." The Clamod steps back to his place in line, and nods. "Herihi?"
(18:42:01) Stalfos says: Mistress surely?
(18:42:19) Herihi nods but keeps staring at Aldaaren as she moves up a bit on the stage.
(18:43:33) Azarnith looks toward the crazy prophet. A low groan comes from the derghir. The shoulders rise slightly and then settle with a gravely sound. The head turns back to the stage.
(18:44:11) Pakerl says: Could someone give a drink to Aldaaren to shut him up?
(18:44:37) Lumi says: I doubt it even work but there is beer available in the food stand
(18:44:48) Lumi points behind the crowd
(18:45:09) Gova says: I don't think providing a madman with alcohol is a good idea...
(18:45:14) Zarre lowers her voice, "A bucket over his head may be a better idea."
(18:46:16) Lumi says: "Aaah he's not a bad lad... " Lumi pokes her head softly : " Jujst something miss there i think.."
(18:46:18) Zirkon thinks providing alcohol is always a good idea.
(18:47:22) [Shout] Herihi shouts: "Dark way is similar to Crystal in that it gains its power from a crystal although Dark gains it from the Dark Crystal in the Death Realm. Many mages in the dark way are some of the most innovative with their magic. This way can be used both for good and evil. Very powerful practicioners can call upon the very shadows to obey them, call upon or create terrifying creatures, and subtly control targets from a distance."
(18:50:03) [Shout] Caraick claps for Herihi, and steps up himself. "Thank you, Master Herihi." he says, before waiting a moment. "Crystal is the way in which power is drawn from the great Crystal most directly. Crystal is renowned for being the most powerful healing way, though the power of the great Crystal can also be channeled very effectively for offensive purposes."
(18:51:16) [Shout] Caraick shouts: Other applications of Crystal way include creating certain auras, and manipulation of light itself. I find it to be a very adaptive, and useful way, and I would encourage everyone to at least develop a basic understanding of Crystal, for the purposes of being able to heal yourself if in need. You might find it saves your life one day.
(18:51:36) [Shout] Caraick smiles, and dips his head, before turning aside to Jilare. "Next is Master Jilare!"
(18:51:59) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Thank you, Caraick.
(18:52:23) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Red Way involves the control and use of fire or heat.
(18:52:56) [Shout] Jilare shouts: Powerful practitioners can throw molten rock and call down bolts of lightning!
(18:53:27) [Shout] Jilare shouts: It is probably the most damaging of the Ways in combat and is commonly practiced by metalurgists and crafters.
(18:53:50) [Shout] Jilare shouts: I also have a confession to make - I am not a master of Red Way.
(18:54:13) [Shout] Jilare shouts: I am a Shadowcaster and therefore Adept in all ways.
(18:55:02) [Shout] Jilare shouts: So I encourage you to think about whether to become a Master in one Way or follow in my path.
(18:55:20) [Shout] Caraick bows his head to Jilare in thanks. The Menki smiles, and claps politely. "Thank you, Jilare. I'm sure there are many who are curious to learn more about your Way, and about the Shadowcasters. Next we have our Blue Way Master!" The Menki looks to Taya, and dips his head.
(18:56:14) [Shout] Taya shouts: Blue way magic concerns itself with all that is flowing and fluid, be this water or time itself. It can be used for many purposes.
(18:56:32) [Shout] Taya shouts: As an offensive magic, it channels water and freezes it, using blades of ice as weapons or it can be used to freeze the ground. But the way is better known for it's use in healing, for many of us, after all, require water to survive.
(18:56:56) [Shout] Taya shouts: But of course, perhaps the most interesting aspect of Blue Way magic is it's ability to peer into the future and to discern what might happen in the days ahead; with this you can judge what an enemy will do before they attack as well, and so respond quicker than they would anticipate possible. True skill is needed to achieve this, but it can be done, just as it is possible to view events from far away and to divine the nature of items with properties that might otherwise remain unknown.
(18:57:53) [Shout] Caraick bows his head to Taya in thanks. The Clamod claps his paws, then turns towards the dwarfess near the end of the stage. "Last, we have Master Lumi, for the Azure Way!"
(18:58:46) Pakerl claps
(18:59:36) Aluna giggles, clapping her hands in joy "Oh wonderful wonderful!" she looks about at the empty stalls "Do I just.... set up somewhere?"
(19:00:05) Pakerl shifts uneasily on the bench and falls off.
(19:00:35) Pakerl says: Sorry...
(19:00:37) Alya smiles when realising the azure way master is a stonebreaker.
(19:00:38) Stalfos looks at the Dermorian and tries to gauge how much she has had to drink
(19:00:50) Zalya looks back and forth. "I guess so... I mean I don't think you need to have anything preregistered."
(19:01:19) [Shout] Lumi shouts: Azure Way Magic has nothing less then the Air as Alie !
(19:01:28) Aluna smiles "Alright. Hmm. Maybe I will wait untill they are done on stage."
(19:01:47) Alya listens,, then blows on her hands, lookingn slightly unsure.
(19:01:51) [Shout] Lumi shouts: Air is everytwhere, Air surround us and is vital.... So is Azure Way magic. It is basically sneaky and an insidious energy as the wind
(19:02:08) Stalfos takes a deep breath, worried that the air might run out
(19:02:36) [Shout] Lumi shouts: The Wind that the Azure Mage can control. Deeper the Azure Magic is the Mind.. The illusions.. The dreams. The Azure Way mage will be able to control any inteelignet beeing WILL
(19:03:19) [Shout] Lumi shouts: It is not the more powerfull in damage but the Mage can win over by controling its ennemy behaviour, digg deep inside his tought and is drived by Nature intuition
(19:03:20) Zalya nods "Thats a good idea. Not many people have been coming over here. I think the'll come and explore the stalls after the speaches."
(19:03:35) Stalfos goggles at the Ylian sinking into the ground and levitating
(19:04:13) Pakerl yells: Yeah Lumi!
(19:04:25) [Shout] Caraick nods his thanks to Lumi, as he steps back forward. "Thank you, Master Lumi," he says, clapping politely for the dwarfess. The Clamod turns his attention towards the crowd, and tilts his head. "At this time, I would open the floor to questions from the audience, but I believe we have a special guest with us today." The Clamod's attention turns over and towards the Derghir standing neadr the crowd's edge. "Perhaps you might have some understanding you wish to share with the Convention today?" he calls over.
(19:04:25) Menille claps in appreciation for all the speakers
(19:04:42) Qed nods to Menille and claps
(19:04:43) Kaerli claps vigorously in appreciation for the panel.
(19:04:44) Gonger says: Yes, let Azarnith speak!
(19:05:12) Aluna looks over at the Derghir "Oh wow! How amazing."
(19:05:15) Pakerl stands up and bows to Azarnith
(19:05:15) Stalfos says: Has everyone else got a Derghan Bell to hand?
(19:05:33) Pakerl nods
(19:06:13) Azarnith raises it's head and looks at Caraick. The head nods slowly, as the voice talks the bell translates. "I was moved by a sense that something interesting was happening."
(19:06:37) Zalya nods "I know. I've never seen one of them up close before. He just wandered in. Should I can them a he? Maybe I should use kra. They are like kran right?"
(19:07:07) [Shout] Caraick dips his head to the Derghir as the bell in the creature's hands translates for the group at large. The Clamod steps back, and gestures to a point near the front of the stage. "Would you care to contribute, then?" he asks.
(19:07:36) Gonger quickly moves out of the way.
(19:07:52) Azarnith listens for a moment and then slowly nods. The stone legs unfold and the derghir moves to the stage.
(19:08:08) Gonger says: Welcome Azarnith.
(19:08:08) Kaerli applauds for Azarnith
(19:08:33) Aluna scratches her head "Oh dear.... I didn't think about Kran! I didn't make anything for them!"
(19:08:39) [Shout] Roled mumbles "Tis Amazing! I haint ne'er seen a Derghir move from the Colony!"
(19:08:42) Zalya looks to Aluna, "I want to go up and listen to what kra has to say."
(19:08:57) Zalya smiles and moves up "Kran don't wear clothes that often."
(19:09:09) Aluna giggles running over to the crowd
(19:09:13) Azarnith eyes the crowd. The eyes linger a moment on the kran in the crowd. The derghir mounts the stage with a tremondous effort.
(19:09:23) [GM] Aldaaren Phostle shouts: You are all going to die. don't say I didn't warn you.
(19:10:10) Azarnith head pivots toward the prophet. The eyes narrow slightly and a low groan comes from the derghir.
(19:10:34) Kaerli grumbles something about crazy people.
(19:11:00) Azarnith sets the bell down at the stone feet. "We are not exempt from being misunderstood, just like all the other races in Yliakum."
(19:11:07) Zalya pushes her way into the crowd. After a moment she spots Lilura. A mischiefous grin spreads accross her face she tars Lilura's right shoulder and then ducks around kra's leftshoulder.
(19:11:47) Azarnith speaks up slightly.
(19:11:53) Kaerli nods in understanding to Azarnith.
(19:12:05) Shelte starts to fall asleep as the derghir speaks, his old eyes needing a little rest.
(19:12:10) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: It is not a well known fact there are actually two types of Derghir in this world.
(19:12:11) Lilura looks to kras right
(19:12:34) Pakerl looks up, surprised
(19:12:35) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: The Agate and the Granite.
(19:12:47) Azarnith steps back away from the kran.
(19:13:04) Lilura looks around confused
(19:13:35) Zalya chuckes a little but her joy is cut short by Aldaaren's rantings. She seems to grow a little scared of what the Derghir might do."
(19:13:49) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Unfortunately it is unlikely that you will see an Agate near civilazation. They are less social then the granite.
(19:14:13) Azarnith opens its mouth and a drawn out gravelly sound comes out.
(19:14:15) Gag says: I believe he means Ryger as example...
(19:14:17) Munital eyes the derghir with wide opened eyes closely taking notes.
(19:14:41) Aluna looks back at Zalya and smiles as she rushes back by her "So interesing that one would come here!"
(19:15:16) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: I am enjoying my chance to learn more about the city culture.
(19:15:35) Gonger smiles at Zalya. "I do not believe Azarnith means harm. And even if, what could one
(19:15:59) Gonger says: [Sorry, some keyboard trouble...]
(19:16:08) Zalya smiles and looks back "I know. I don't know what to think about kra. It cetainly seems nice, but Aldaaren has been saying that they are no good for years now."
(19:16:16) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Perhaps I can answer a couple questions since this seems to be a peaceful gathering.
(19:16:56) Gonger says: I have a question: There seem to be so few Derghir. Why is this so?
(19:16:56) Beristie smiles at Azarnith "Did I notice well, you don't really like krans? Why is it that, Azarnith?"
(19:17:01) Gova whispers "Jardet wrote a couple books on the Derghir that you can find in the library. Far more reliable than Aldaaren's mad and racist ramblings."
(19:17:11) [Shout] Zalya's hand shoots up in the back, waiting to be called on.
(19:17:15) Pakerl turns to Zalya: But science has proven Aldaaren wrong. He is just mad...
(19:17:17) Aluna giggles
(19:17:25) Gonger says: Maybe we should form a queue for our questions.
(19:17:26) Azarnith looks Beristie.
(19:17:52) Gag raises his hand
(19:18:06) Munital waves a hand. waiting to be heard and others to be answered.
(19:18:09) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: that is a long and ancient history. Kran for some reason developed a taste for our silicone based bodies and some of our kind have been eaten by kran in the past.
(19:18:27) Azarnith looks at Gag.
(19:18:41) Zalya eyes Lilura suspiously. Still keeping her hand raised.
(19:18:49) Lumi's mouth form an "o" as she listen to Azarnith : " Never knew that.."
(19:18:50) Elhorien waves
(19:18:56) Gag points over to Zalya first: "This lady asked first."
(19:18:59) Wolferz's eyes widen slightly and he glances at the nearest kran with a raised eyebrow
(19:19:19) Pakerl looks up worried...
(19:19:22) Azarnith looks at Zalya, "Please repeat the question."
(19:20:56) Zalya keeps her hand in the air, waiting her turn.
(19:21:10) Gag nods at Zalya
(19:21:22) Lilura glances around for pie
(19:21:27) Azarnith stares at Zalya. "Please ask your question, enkidukai."
(19:22:30) Zalya lowers her hand "I've heared that the Derghir where planning a sort of invasion, is there any truth to that, or is it just rumor?"
(19:22:54) Mordaan hears Roled and chuckles
(19:23:09) Sarras snickers.
(19:23:14) Lumi heard the word "pie" and looks around : " In the stand behind" she shouts in the crowd
(19:23:38) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: "No. There is nothing here that we want or need."
(19:24:10) Gag takes his turn now...
(19:24:23) Zalya nods at the answer to Azarnith's question, visibly relaxed.
(19:24:31) Azarnith turns toward Gag.
(19:24:40) Gag says: I believe I remember that Jardet visits you sometimes. Did you ever have the chance to visit him here in his garden?
(19:24:52) Gag says: Or is Aldaaren always in the way?
(19:25:46) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: Perhaps today I'll visit him.
(19:26:01) Munital clears his throat and waves again.
(19:26:19) Gag says: Then I guess we would try to give you a safe passage...
(19:26:28) Lumi thinks Aldaaren might flee seeing Azanith anyways.
(19:26:56) Gonger says: I would also like to repeat my question: There seem to be so few Derghir. Why is this so?
(19:27:02) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: The spirit of the world has moved me here. I'm sure it will keep me safe, if that is the purpose.
(19:27:29) Azarnith looks to Gonger.
(19:27:46) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: We produce slowly through Gemmation.
(19:28:00) Azarnith looks to Munital.
(19:28:38) Munital says: I would like to ask in regard to the Kran eatin derghir incident. Have the derghir ever fought back in such a situation?
(19:29:02) Azarnith stares at Munital a moment.
(19:29:21) [Shout] Azarnith shouts: If someone tries to eat you, would you stand still?
(19:29:36) Mordaan smiles
(19:29:49) Menille grins
(19:29:58) [Shout] Caraick steps back toward and looks to Azarnith after the Derghir answers the latest question. The Clamod dips his head in thanks. "Thank you for your perspective, Azarnith," he states. "Let's give a roudn of applause to our special guest, and all of our Panel members!"
(19:30:08) Zalya looks back to Lilura and speaks softly to kra. "You've never tried to eat one, have you?"
(19:30:16) Gonger cheers loudly.
(19:30:17) Mordaan applauds
(19:30:18) Eredin claps
(19:30:19) Azarnith shifts and rolls its head. The derghir looks over to Caraick and nods. "thank you."
(19:30:20) Kaerli gives a long round of applause for Azarnith.
(19:30:27) Moja applauds.
(19:30:29) Pakerl claps loudly, hailing the speakers
(19:30:31) Lilura shakes kras head "no"
(19:30:31) Lumi claps to Azarnith effort : " Thank you friend !"
(19:30:42) [Shout] Roled shouts: Lets hear it fer all our Masters of Magicks, and our special guests, Master Azarnith and uh, well, Sir, I suppose, Aldaaren!" Roled claps heartily.
(19:30:54) Menille claps loudly for Azarnith
(19:30:55) Mordaan cheers
(19:30:55) Munital to the leaving derghir"I would protect myself and my loved ones."
(19:31:09) Pakerl stands up, clapping
(19:31:15) Shelte's head pops up with all the clapping and joins in "Very interesting."
(19:31:21) [Shout] Zarre shouts: "Cheers to all the speakers today."
(19:31:22) Gova says: Thank you for sharing with us, Azarnith. It's a pleasure seeing you here.
(19:31:24) Aluna claps "Wonderful you all!"
(19:31:29) Shelte looks about trying to work out what he has missed.
(19:31:31) Zalya turns and starts to head back to her post at the food stand.
(19:31:32) [Shout] Roled shouts: Tis a wonderful start to our Convention! We are about to open the vending stalls, and the demonstrations of alchemy and potition. We also have expert inall magick ways if ye has questions. Ye still haa few moments to register fer our first drawing, in one minute! Whisper yer manme to me and I will asdd ye to the list!
(19:31:46) Azarnith nods to Gova.
(19:31:49) Helka burps quietly, letting out a stench that reeks of vomit and fresh ale. "Damn noise... freakin woke me up...."
(19:31:50) Caraick bows his head to Roled, then motions for the other Panelists to follow him down from the stage.
(19:32:10) Colvax claps and smiles.
(19:32:15) [Shout] Roled shouts: Welcome All to the Great Convention of Magicks and Mages! Be sure ye register for the prize drawings- see Roled Rolak to get yer raffle number!
(19:32:20) Aluna claps with glee as she runs to set up.

(19:42:44) Azarnith looks back to Gonger, "It is the will of Her for me to return to the village."
(19:43:06) Gonger nods solemnly. "We are honoured by your visit. Travel safely."
(19:43:32) Butat says: Greetings
(19:43:54) Butat says: I am surprised to find you in our city
(19:44:01) Azarnith starts out the gate. "Interesting place this city."
(19:44:05) Butat says: But you are quite welcome
(19:44:24) Butat says: It is unusually busy today
(19:44:49) Azarnith pauses to answer Butat, "I was drawn here for a purpose. I suppose it was so I could learn more about the ways of the city that you all come and go from."
(19:45:09) Butat nods thoughtfully.
(19:45:15) Butat says: Did you find your trip worthwhile?
(19:45:25) Azarnith nods, "I did."
(19:45:37) Zalya pauses and approaches Azarnith, "Oh excuse me mister umm Azanirth. I had a question to ask before you left."
(19:45:37) Butat says: Good.
(19:45:45) Sanrai says: Greetings, teacher.
(19:45:51) Butat says: Perhaps it will improve relations between our kind.
(19:46:07) Azarnith greets Sanrai. "Keep up your studies. It is time for me to return to the village."
(19:46:12) Elhorien says: Lord Arioch
(19:46:19) Lumi says: And one crayfigh delight, one !
(19:46:29) Sanrai says: Good to see you. *smiles*
(19:47:40) Sanrai says: Quite a surprise to see him....
(19:47:48) Butat says: I hope you managed to keep Aldaaran away from him!
(19:48:30) Moja nods again to Sanrai "Yes, but a good one..."
