[Of Wind and Flame] Estate Holder Meeting Minutes

I apologize in advance, our minute meeting taker lost the first few pages of her notes.. we begin where Sulic has proposed that all Paladins should receive mansions... [The Shanty, Living Area] Though somewhat muffled, the indistinct sounds of patrons coming and going and the work being done in the kitchen are still prevalent in the small living space used by the facility's maintainers. The room is decorated in soft shades of yellow and blue, and a couch of matching striped fabric sits before a carved oval window that looks out to the sea beyond the dock. You also see a large striped couch and some narrow stairs. Also here: Kythera who is sitting, Legionnaire Sulic who is lying down and Pipesmoker Abson who is sitting. Sulic flatly says, "Those stinkin preachers dont get nottin." You ask, "What else besides a mansion?" Sulic grins. Abson says, "Well, it's your meeting after all, seems fair." Abson nods. Sulic flatly says, "Yea." Sulic ponders. You say, "They are useful when you anger the gods." You shrug. You say, "To death." You nod. Abson chortles softly at some secret joke. Abson nods to you. You point at Kythera. Sulic flatly says, "Yea." You say, "He knows." Sulic nods. You nod to Kythera. Sulic flatly says, "Yea I take it back if I die." Abson says, "Katamba has no sense of humor." Abson says, "Oh that's another moon." You say, "He leaves puddles everywhere." Abson takes a sip of his wine. Abson blanches. Kythera asks, "Are you going to put an angry flower that throws you around, like the empaths did, in your mansion?" You grin. You peer quizzically at Kythera. Kythera says, "I am not a fan of those." Kythera takes a bite of the bread. Sulic flatly asks you, "Hey can ya zip a shadow-buddy in here?" You blink. Moving with the grace and temerity of a drunk goblin, Sulic begins flailing his arms and legs in a poor imitation of what you can only imagine is the mating dance of some now long-extinct animal. Kythera asks, "A shadowling?" Sulic suddenly starts jerking around and flailing his arms wildly. Sulic nods to Kythera. Abson laughs! Sulic flatly says, "Yea onna." Kythera says, "I don't have one yet." You point at Kythera. You say, "He is the crazy one." You grin. Sulic sighs. You say, "Not me." Kythera says, "I think I have one in my bank." You say, "Well not really." Kythera takes a bite of the bread. Sulic takes a bite of the biscuits. Abson says, "I brought a ranger." You ask Kythera, "You lock one in your vault?" Abson gets a forest green bear in a brown tunic holding a miniature bow from inside his journey pack. Kythera scoffs at Abson. You gasp at Kythera! Abson squeezes his green bear close to his chest, smiling. Kythera nods to you. You say, "I saw one get shredded apart the other day." A tear runs down your face. Abson winces. You say, "It was awful." Abson shakes his head. Kythera takes a bite of the bread. Kythera says, "They don't mind." Sulic flatly says, "I think everyone shoul getta buddy." You nod at Sulic, in complete agreement with his views. Abson nods to Sulic. Sulic flatly says, "Warmies get those panthers an birds an stuff..." You nod to Sulic. Sulic flatly says, "Moonies the shadowstuff." Sulic glowers. Kythera asks, "Do paladins have a buddy?" Abson says, "Empaths get ozzing pustules." You say, "Which do not get torn in two." Sulic flatly asks, "Whaddya I get?" You shake your head. Sulic shakes his head at Kythera. Kythera points at Abson. Kythera says, "I give you Abson." You ponder. Abson blinks at Kythera. Sulic flatly asks, "I risk my skin ta kill undead stuff an whats in it fer me?" You ask, "You get horses?" Kythera says, "You can have a ranger buddy." You peer quizzically at Sulic. You say, "War horses." You nod. Abson squeezes his green bear close to his chest, smiling. Sulic shakes his head. Sulic flatly says, "Nah I don like horses." Kythera takes a bite of the bread. You say, "For fighting and jousting and stuff." Sulic coughs. Kythera takes a sip of his wine. Sulic flatly says, "Im allergic." You say, "Well that is a problem." You nod. Kythera says, "Oh, one of those smaller paladins with less armor." You peer quizzically at Kythera. Kythera ponders. You ask, "Like, to ride?" Sulic flatly says, "Nah I like smooth an fast. I wanna...." You squint at Kythera. Sulic ponders. Kythera exclaims, "Squire!" Sulic flatly says, "I want somethin new." Sulic mutters to himself. Sulic shakes his head at Kythera. Sulic flatly says, "I wanna Shadowlin too." You cough. Sulic grins. You say, "They are very cute." Sulic flatly says, "It could hold my stuff." Sulic nods to you. Kythera takes a bite of the bread. You shake your head at Sulic. Abson nods to Sulic. Sulic flatly says, "An jump aroun to hide me." You say, "I think those are the bigger ones." You say, "The servants." You hear a flat voice say, "Yea I want one." You say, "They carry your stuff and vomit it back up to you." You hear the sound of someone cackling! Your skin takes on a pasty color. >search This is not an appropriate place for that. Abson glances at you. You hear a flat voice say, "Why do moonies get the good stuff." Abson shrugs. You say, "They pay a price for it." You pat Kythera on the back. Kythera takes a bite of the bread. Abson nods. You hear a flat voice say, "I do all the stuff savin from the demon and all that." Abson says, "Sanity." You say, "And structural integrity of their bodies." You nod to Abson. You hear a flat voice say, "Ah foo." Kythera says, "We do to. I fought a bat skull thing the other day in the Astral realm." Kythera takes a bite of the bread. Kythera takes a sip of his wine. You gaze upward. You hear a flat voice say, "I gave all that away fer nuttin." You ask, "Where did the bats go?" Kythera glances outside a moment. You say, "Shadowlings look like fuzzy little bats." Sulic taps a bottle of Asketi's ride on the ground. Abson nods to you. You pick up a bottle of Asketi's ride. Kythera takes a sip of his wine. You take a drink of your Asketi's ride. It's really tasty! However, as soon as you swallow the chilly liquid, you swear you hear insane cackling and feel an icy grip on your throat. You shiver uncontrollably, and your lips start going numb. You are stunned! Sulic flatly says to you, "There ya go." Sulic winks at you. Abson starts chortling at you! A ghost's deathly wail sounds nearby, and your vision goes darker for a brief moment. Abson waves to you. Abson says, "Bye." You blink. Kythera grins. You leap to your feet! You settle yourself on the striped couch. You give a bottle of Asketi's ride a hug. I'm quite sure that the ride appreciates the sentiment. Appearing out of thin air, a black unicorn starts charging straight toward you. You dive out of the way, barely managing to make it in time and conking your head in the process. You are stunned! Sulic flatly says, "Alright so Pallys get Shadow Servants too." Abson grins at you. Sulic flatly says, "Moonies." Sulic shrugs. You laugh! Sulic flatly says, "Better gates." You sit up. Kythera nods to Sulic. Leathern wings flap all about you, and you can swear you see red eyes glaring from the darkness. You cover your head with your hands. You say, "I know to wait for it now." You give a bottle of Asketi's ride a hug. I'm quite sure that the ride appreciates the sentiment. Sulic flatly says, "Rangers trees to build an all." Abson says, "Holy gates." Sulic seems to be waiting for something. Sulic grins at Abson. At last it seems like dawn is breaking, and your tormenters finally leave you alone, disappearing into nothingness. Sulic flatly says, "Holy gates I like that." Abson says, "That open to the immortals’ houses." Abson clears his throat. You let out a long sigh of relief. Abson takes a sip of his wine. You put your ride in your hip pouch. You get a bottle of Dreamer's Blend wine from inside your hip pouch. Sulic flatly says, "We covered Clerics they gotta lot anyway." Abson shrugs. Abson nods. Sulic flatly asks, "Whadd bout Bards what do they want?" Sulic takes a seat. Abson asks, "...fans?" You say, "You were reading my mind." You squint at Sulic. Abson furrows his brow. You say, "Lots of fans." You nod. Sulic flatly says, "They jus got the big Nagga beast magik." Kythera says, "Bards want zills that make drinks appear." Sulic flatly says, "Heard it's as big an bad as it gets." Abson nods to Kythera. Sulic grins. Sulic flatly says, "Put Pallys fer that too." Sulic flatly says, "Who else who we missin." Sulic rubs his hands together. You ask, "Do Paladlins dance when they play their zills?" You ponder. Sulic shakes his head. Sulic leaps to his feet! You say, "It would be odd not to." Abson says, "Drink wine." You say, "Okay." Abson studies the ground for a moment. Excitedly, Sulic prances around in a tight circle. You take a sip of the wine. Abson takes a sip of his wine. Sulic squats down, barely touching the floor, as he crosses his arms and begins kicking his legs out infront of himself in a wild fashion. What amazing strength! Raising your Dreamer's Blend wine to Abson, you give him a toast. Cheers! Abson grins. Abson rummages through a journey pack with a frantic look of loss. Sulic flatly asks, "Whadd bout the guys who play wit dead stuff?" Raising your Dreamer's Blend wine to Sulic, you give him a toast. Cheers! Sulic falls over. Sulic flatly asks, "Whaddya they get?" Kythera asks, "Empaths?" Sulic nods to Kythera. Sulic flatly says, "They jus gotta new guild house." Abson gets a steaming mug of midnight black coffee from inside his journey pack. Abson takes a sip of his coffee. Sulic flatly says, "They're taken care of." Abson sniffs at a steaming mug of midnight black coffee. You say to Kythera, "I think he meant the other ones.." Abson takes a sip of his coffee. Kythera says, "They should get a badge that shows how many limbs they lost that day without dying." Sulic flatly says, "Oh yeah that reminds me another guys who gets buddies." A nervous tic starts up around Abson's eye. You say, "The ones that hate rangers." You nod to Kythera. Sulic ponders. Sulic flatly asks you, "Who hates rangers?" Abson asks, "Other rangers?" Abson furrows his brow. You chuckle. Abson gets some cheese biscuits from inside his journey pack. Sulic flatly asks, "Rangers get animal buddies right?" Abson takes a bite of the biscuits. Abson nods. You look at Abson and shrug. You say, "In theory." Abson says, "Very easy to feed to eagle buddies." You grin. Abson sniffles. Abson takes a bite of the biscuits. Sulic flatly says, "An those dead fellas get those mudmen, an zombies an glass stuff." Sulic shudders. Abson takes a bite of the biscuits. Abson nods. Sulic flatly says, "So that jus leaves us Pallys all alone." You say, "See? the ones they take to the ranger guild and leave behind." You nod. Abson asks, "Oh, what do Barbarians get?" You say, "Even empaths get pets, their warriors." Abson asks, "Talking axes?" Abson nods. Sulic nods to you. You ask, "Paint?" Sulic flatly says, "Yup." You peer quizzically at Abson. You say, "For their faces." Sulic flatly says, "Forgotta bout the Alfies." You nod. Abson puts his bear in his journey pack. You say, "Traders have pigs and kittens and rats.." You say, "Like lots of them." Sulic flatly says, "Oh an what bout those sneaky guys..." Abson furrows his brow. Abson nods to you. Sulic breaks out in a silly grin. You ask, "Shadows?" You smile at Sulic. Sulic quietly says, "Teefs." You say, "Pet shadows." You nod. Sulic nods. Abson nods to you. Sulic flatly says, "Pet shadows is fine but we already gave em to Pallys too." Kythera asks, "Everybody is going to get shadows?" Sulic flatly asks, "So Pallys, teefs an moonies all get shadows?" Abson whistles loudly for a moment. A baby raccoon scrambles in. You ask Sulic, "What other pet is left?" Sulic shakes his head. Abson gets some wild corn from inside his journey pack. Sulic ponders. A baby raccoon begins to whimper. A baby raccoon eats some wild corn from Abson's hand. Sulic flatly says, "Teefs should getta..." Abson pets his baby raccoon. Sulic sits up. You wave to a baby raccoon. >wait Time drags on by… Sulic stands up. Sulic paces back and forth. Abson signals to his baby raccoon to hide. A baby raccoon tries to find a hiding place but fails. Abson just touched Sulic, barely brushing his skin. Abson chortles softly at some secret joke. Sulic lets out a high-pitched yelp! Sulic glances at Abson. You chuckle. Sulic flatly says, "Hm." Sulic flatly says, "Dragon." Abson says, "Oh, I thought that comforted everyone." Sulic grins. You say to Sulic, "He thought you were his raccoon." Sulic laughs! Sulic cackles! You glance at Abson, a male Halfling. Abson pets his baby raccoon. Sulic flatly asks, "Wahddya think?" Abson smiles at the baby raccoon. Sulic peers quizzically at Abson. Abson nods to Sulic. A baby raccoon stands on its hind legs and does a little dance. Sulic flatly says, "I think thats fair." Sulic takes a seat. You say to Abson, "You are not wearing your spectacles." Sulic flatly says, "All things considered." Abson says, "Everyone likes Dragons." Sulic nods to Abson. A baby raccoon looks around curiously. Abson adjusts the fit of his glasses. You blink. Abson blinks at you. You ask, "A pet dragon?" Sulic flatly says, "But we gave everyone else stuff so teefs get dragons." Sulic nods to you. You say, "I would become a teef for that." You nod. You nod. A baby raccoon sits down. Abson asks, "Don't they already get Dungeoons?" A baby raccoon scratches at the ground before you looking for some attention. Abson pets his baby raccoon. Sulic flatly says, "Yea see ya cuz nothings stealthy an quit like a big dragon." Abson says, "They can't have Dungeons and Dragons." You say to Abson, "Really big dungeons to hold their dragons." Abson pets his baby raccoon. Sulic nods. Abson nods to you. Abson says, "OK, that does make sense." Abson reaches over and tickles his baby raccoon playfully. It gets a twinkle in its eyes and begins to run back and forth snapping playfully at Abson's finger. Sulic flatly says, "Yea we store all our loot an have the dragons guard it." Sulic grins happily. Abson says, "Great idea." You say, "I need loot first." A baby raccoon licks at its paws. You nod. Sulic flatly says, "An they burn anyone who touches the gold." Sulic nods to you. Sulic leaps to his feet! Abson nods. Sulic flatly says, "Yea. Gives me an idea." A baby raccoon scratches its nose with its two front paws. Sulic flatly says, "Everyone give me all yer money." Sulic flatly says, "I needa start a collection." You dust yourself off. A baby raccoon stands on its hind legs and does a little dance. Sulic blinks. Abson looks at Sulic and applauds! You say, "I am mostly out." You smile. A baby raccoon sits down. Sulic sighs. Sulic rubs a tear-shaped blue diamond. You ponder. Sulic flatly asks, "Alright well anyone else wanna help me get started?" You rummage through an elegant spidersilk traveler's backpack and see … Abson nods to Sulic. Sulic waves a tear-shaped blue diamond around. You get a Guildleader Tallis card from inside your traveler's backpack. You offer your Tallis card to Sulic. Abson rummages through a journey pack but it's clear he hasn't a clue if what he is looking for is there. Sulic has accepted your offer and is now holding a Guildleader Tallis card. You ask, "Will this help?" Sulic shrugs. Sulic flatly says, "Cant hurt." Kythera takes a sip of his wine. You say, "You never know when it will be worth something." You nod. Sulic flatly says, "As a holy elf I'll take anything I can stick to my lil greasy palms." Abson gets a Famous Faces Sirolarn card from inside his journey pack. Abson offers Sulic a Famous Faces Sirolarn card. Sulic accepts Abson's Sirolarn card. Abson exclaims, "That's two!" Abson grins. Sulic flatly says, "All to charity fer the poor teefs tryn to get dragon loot." Abson nods. You nod in agreement. Sulic puts his diamond in his gem pouch. You hear a flat voice say, "Alright well thanks everyone fer ya time." You leap to your feet! Kythera nods. You bow. Abson says, "It was a great meeting." You hear a flat voice say, "Much apprciated." You say, "And thank you." Abson nods. Sulic falls out of hiding! You say, "Good luck with the charity." A baby raccoon stands up then paces back and forth nervously. Abson grins. Sulic leaps to his feet! Kythera says, "I hope you get your shadowling soon." Abson nods to Kythera. Sulic comes out of hiding. Sulic sweeps a black cavalier hat with a wide firesilk band holding multiple plumes off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing at the same time. Abson paws at the ground with a mischevious look and then puts two fingers on a flattened palm before jerking them up and down. Sulic raises two fingers to his brow in a quick hand salute. You say, "Everyone needs a shadowling." Sulic flatly says, "Later friends." Sulic nods to you. Sulic flatly exclaims, "If ya needta see me seek out the Temple!" Sulic bows. Legionnaire Sulic climbed down some narrow stairs. Abson says, "I will." Abson chuckles. You settle yourself on the striped couch. Kythera says, "Was...." Kythera asks, "Was that the meeting?" Abson says, "I need a keg of Asketi's Ride." You get a bottle of Asketi's ride from inside your hip pouch. Kythera takes a sip of his wine. You offer your Asketi's ride to Abson. Kythera gazes solemnly at the sky. You shake your Asketi's ride at Abson. Abson says, "I can't stow the raccoon." Abson puts his corn in his journey pack. Abson has accepted your offer and is now holding a bottle of Asketi's ride. You chuckle. You say, "If it was a pig you could." You nod. You say, "Would also be tastier."
