You say in a multifarious voice, "Looking for some, yes."

Sothantos arrives from the down.

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says to you, "Leave."

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "You are not welcome here."

Caladbolg says to you with a deep Hashani accent, "What do you need?"

With a flourish, Sothantos enters the Thyr stance.

Draqoom eases himself out of the Scorpion stance.
Draqoom sinks back into the menacing stance of the Scorpion.

The Dragon Achilles thunders in from the down.

Synbios tells you, "At present, no. What makes you think that?"

Achilles peers at you unscrupulously.

Ermot arrives from the down.

The air ripples faintly as Synbios steps into view, pulling his cloak aside.

You say in a multifarious voice, "I come unarmed and without any malice."

You say in a multifarious voice, "However, I am sure the lack of active guards does make one as
myself a threat. Still, I come for information or one that wishes to barter any."

Achilles appears, a look of love in his eyes.

Sothantos raises an eyebrow questioningly.
A great weight seems to have been lifted from Sothantos.

been gathering information on what was old Shallam, the gods, and the ideals."

You say in a multifarious voice, "They say history is written by the winners, but there were no
winners it seems. I do not know how well records are being kept, but I would be interested to have a
look at them."

You say in a multifarious voice, "Surely such knowledge is not under confined wraps?"

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "We have no interest in aiding Mhaldorians,
regardless."

You say in a multifarious voice, "It seems to me knowledge and history should not have a political
or moral stance."


Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "Your city aided those who brought destruction to
ours, and you expect us assistance from us?"

You say in a multifarious voice, "Yes."

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "You will find none. Old Shallam is gone. I
imagine you have little interest in joining our faith. We will not indulge your curiosity."


You say in a multifarious voice, "It is a curious thing, withholding history from others."

You say in a multifarious voice, "Would you prefer history written in a way that sullies the name of
what once was?"

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "There are enough to carry those memories. You
will not be one of them."

Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "You have ten seconds to run."

Achilles's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.
A deathly calm descends upon your surroundings as Achilles draws himself up regally, eyes gleaming
with murderous intent.
WATCH OUT HE IS AIMING FOR YOUR HEAD (but thankfully not your penis)
WATCH OUT HE IS AIMING FOR YOUR HEAD (but thankfully not your penis)

You say in a multifarious voice, "Then. I'll request your permission to leave, as I'd prefer not to
"flee"."

In a single, sinuous motion, Achilles manoeuvres his imposing form to encircle your feet, fixing you
with a penetrating gaze as his tremendous jaws open wide.
Okay since you are still in the room at this point I assume you want to die, but if you really want
to escape, now would be a good time, though by the time you have finished reading this you are
probably dead so you should leave before you reach here oh wait nevermind

With a dismissive snort, Achilles resumes a casual posture.
Sir Achilles, Templar Emeritus says, "Ok."



Sothantos de l'Evanoir, Lord of the Crossing says, "Go."

"Shoo! Shoo!" Achilles says to you as he waves you away.

You suddenly perceive the vague outline of an aura of rebounding around Achilles.

An old, torn letter blows in from the north.

You say in a multifarious voice, "Very well. The codex has changed much it seems."


You say in a multifarious voice, "Duanathar."
