Azani says: Gah!
[Officer] Mniaron: I cannot aim a campfire
[Officer] Doskious: ROFL
Mniaron giggles at Azani.
Mniaron says: Zani, tell a story!
Mniaron eyes Azani up and down.
Mniaron says: I know you have good stories somewhere...
You eye Azani up and down.
Azani says: I don't know any stories.
Mniaron stares Azani down.
Azani looks about shiftily.
Mniaron frowns with disappointment at Azani.
Mniaron says: Azani is.... boring.
Azani says: .gasp
Azani gasps at Mniaron.
Doskious says: Concealed under that outfit? They'd have to be short vignettes...
Azani says: I am not!
Mniaron giggles at Azani.
Mniaron gently pats you.
Azani says: Rogue stories are very short.
Mniaron says: Surely you've snuck somewhere interesting before... and had something unexpected happen?
Azani says: I walked somewhere, I stabbed someone, I obtained something, and I came back.
Mniaron says: ....That does sound boring.
Mniaron sighs at Azani.
Azani says: Not exactly something to write a novel about.
Doskious says: That would seem to cover most everything...
Mniaron says: Doskious! I know you have many tales and.... philosophies you like meandering about.
Doskious says: Except for those few occasions when you did *not* obtain anything and came back.
Mniaron says: Hmmm?
Azani says: ... When were these?
Mniaron lets out a hearty chuckle.
Azani says: Clearly Dosk is insane. I always get my man... or woman... or inanimate object.
Mniaron says: Oh. Really.
Azani nods.
Mniaron eyes Azani up and down.
Mniaron ponders the situation.
Doskious says: Well, I suppose I could tell you about the time when Great Aunt Nettia decided to catalouge her turnip recepies...
Azani facepalms.
Mniaron says: ....A fine gnomish tale, if ever there was one.
Mniaron laughs at you.
Mniaron says: Um, but I think you told that one before... Right, Azani?
Azani says: Yes. Yes indeed.
Doskious says: And all I meant, 'Zani was that there were times, I'm sure, when you walked, stabbed, obtained nothing, and came back.
Azani says: Let me think for a minute.
Azani screws up her face in concentration.
Azani says: Well, there was the time I snuck into the Undercity.
Mniaron says: Ooooh.
Doskious says: Ugh.
Mniaron says: That sounds dangerous.
Azani raises an eyebrow at Doskious.
Azani says: What is this... ugh?
Mniaron says: And possibly smelly.
Azani nods.
Doskious says: That sounds depressing. Dangerous to be sure, but...
Azani says: Took ages to get the smell out of my armor.
Mniaron scowls at the thought.
Mniaron says: "But," Dosk?
Doskious says: I rather liked Lordaron City as a child.
Mniaron says: Ah, I see.
[Officer] Mniaron: OMG, gnomish feetses are cute.
Azani says: Very nice place, I think.
[Officer] Azani: Hee!
Doskious says: I used to live outside Brill, you see.
Mniaron nods at you.
Azani says: Ah, Brill, visited there as well.
Doskious says: Did you find it much changed, or was this your initial visit?
Mniaron says: ....Why were you in the Undercity anyway?
Azani says: I don't... think I've ever visited Brill before, but it looks somewhat run down and zombified.
Doskious says: ... Pity.
Mniaron says: Depressing.
[Officer] Mniaron: And.... aim.....
Doskious says: I never saw it after the Plague hit... Uncle Nestor wouldn't allow it.
Azani says: Well, I had this grand idea to sprinkle Ol' Varimathras with some of these.
Azani holds out a Handful of Rose Petals.
Mniaron says: I can understand that, Dosk.
Mniaron stares Azani down.
Azani says: Thought it would be amusing, you see.
Azani says: ... Alcohol was likely involved in the formation of this plan.
Mniaron laughs at Azani.
Mniaron says: And now, it makes more sense.
Doskious says: The absence of alcohol at this stage of planning does seem contra-indicated.
Azani stares you down.
Mniaron stifles a giggle.
Azani says: Ok, whatever.
Mniaron says: And your "plan" succeeded?
Doskious sips tea.
Azani says: So I had to dash past these two giant undead abominations into the elevator.
Chatty Night Elf says: The Lunar Festival holds special meaning for the night elves. We seek out the wisdom of our elders across the world.
Mniaron nods at Azani.
Azani says: Snuck my way through the inner ring and into the Throne Room.
You listen intently to Azani.
Mniaron narrows her eyes, attempting to imagine the setting.
Azani says: And right as I was trying to line up my shot for maximum coverage...
Doskious offers tea around.
Azani says: Ooh, thank you.
Mniaron says: ....Maximum ... petal coverage....
Mniaron thanks you.
Doskious pours out tea and hands it around.
Azani says: Suddenly, a blood elf spied me and I was down for the count.
Azani lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Mniaron says: Oh my.
Azani says: Just one swing of the sword too.
Doskious says: A Blood Elf, you say?
Azani says: Yes, Dosk, a blood elf.
Azani says: Are you paying attention?
You ponder the situation.
Azani peers at you searchingly.
Mniaron says: I haven't run across *that* many Blood Elves so far... Hm.
Mniaron says: There was a surprisingly friendly one in Moonglade who followed me around, actually. He made me nervous... but I digress.
Azani says: Well, their primary ally is the Forsaken, so it's only natural that a few reside within the city.
Mniaron says: Yes, that makes sense.
Mniaron says: I take it you haven't made another ill-plan--I mean... somewhat-planned attempt at this petal-throwing business.
Azani says: Actually, I did.
Doskious says: I wonder at the sanity of a race who has as it's "Primary Ally" a group intent on the cessation of all life everywhere...
Azani says: I got a picture too!
Mniaron nods at you.
Azani holds up a Gnomish Picture Capturing Device.
Mniaron says: OOooh.
You blink your eyes.
Azani says: But old Varimathras got camera shy and was behind a pillar when I took it.
Mniaron says: ...Where did you get this device?
Azani lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Mniaron says: Aww.
Azani says: ... I know people.
Mniaron coughs.
Mniaron says: Of course.
Doskious coughs quietly.
Mniaron blinks at Elimanning.
Elimanning says: you bitches give it up easy?
Azani says: And as for you Dosk, I think it's the fact that the races of the old Horde mistrust them that has forged their alliance.
Azani blinks at Elimanning.
Azani says: Beg your pardon?
Mniaron shrugs at Azani. Who knows?
Mniaron says: Another mad one; probably abusing the powder. Pay no heed.
Doskious says: I still question their sanity and long-term planning capability.
Elimanning says: im just saying where can a human go to get down in this town
Elimanning blows Azani a kiss.
Azani blinks.
Elimanning dances with Azani.
Azani says: Sorry, not interested.
Azani averts her eyes.
Elimanning says: stop playing you know you love it baby
Doskious says: That purple emanation field behind the tree will allow one to "get down" I believe.
Lycophon greets Treeshade warmly.
Treeshade salutes Lycophon with respect.
Mniaron shakes her head. "Humans."
Azani says: I would recommend Goldshire for your... interests.
[Officer] Azani: ROFL
Mniaron says: Ah, good point, Dosk.
[Officer] Mniaron: Bound to happen. >_>
[Officer] Doskious: ty <bows>
Elimanning says: baby you're my only interest right now
[Officer] Mniaron: ^_^
Elimanning says: me you and an empty tree think about it i can make it happen
[Officer] Mniaron: And people can die. ^_^
Lycophon salutes Treeshade with respect.
Mniaron says: Anyway...
Azani says: Yes.
[Officer] Mniaron: Aiming.....
[Officer] Mniaron: BAH
Azani says: Now, what were we talking about?
Mniaron says: Blood Elves.
Azani says: Ah yes, the Blood Elf/Forsaken alliance!
Azani says: Within the alliance of the, um, Horde.
Azani says: Right.
Doskious says: And the delicate balance of power necessary for it to be stable in the long-term.
Mniaron says: I do feel pity for some of the Forsaken...
Treeshade says: Yes I can't believe the Blood-Elves have been so corrupted as to join with the Undead if you don't mind me saying... excuse the interruption
Mniaron blinks.
Mniaron says: Who is that?
Azani says: What?
Mniaron says: Um....
Azani says: Oh. Are we still going on about the mad human from earlier?
Mniaron says: No, no.
Mniaron says: I thought I heard someone, but I don't see where...
Azani says: Ah..
Doskious says: I pity those Forsaken intent on their plague schemes. The rest, I respect for having the courage to face their reality.
[Officer] Doskious: he's at the bank
[Officer] Doskious: underneath
[Officer] Mniaron: Oh. XD
[Officer] Azani: Treeshade?
[Officer] Mniaron: Yesh
[Officer] Doskious: 30 NE Rogue
[Officer] Azani: What about him?
[Officer] Doskious: he spoke before
[Officer] Azani: Oh.
[Officer] Doskious: in /s
Mniaron blinks at Giil.
[Officer] Mniaron: ....Ooookay. XD
[Officer] Mniaron: HEY! The Lunar people are still around, right?
[Officer] Azani: Ja.
[Officer] Doskious: yup
Mniaron says: I have an idea.... Just a moment, and please continue.
Azani points at Chatty Night Elf.
[Officer] Doskious: Sunday I think
Treeshade says: The Forsaken are not deserving of pity unless it is to be put out of their miserable evil existences!
Azani peers cautiously over the edge.
Azani waves at Treeshade.
Treeshade says: They do nothing but plot poison and destruction - mindless? no - they are not - their minds are driven and evil
Doskious says: Any sentient being can be deserving of pity.
Azani says: Yeah, and not all of them are bad.
Chatty Night Elf says: Legend says that the great beast Omen sleeps in the waters of Lake Elune'ara in Moonglade, only to appear once a year. But that's just a legend.
Mniaron blinks at Treeshade.
Azani says: Example, Leonid Barthalomew of the Argent Dawn.
Mniaron offers drinks.
Treeshade walks up to the fire and nods acknowledgement to the conversationalists
Azani says: Ooh, thank you muchly!
Doskious says: Having known a good number of them from before the plague, I must concur - their personalities have not, for the most part, changed.
Azani looks tipsy.
Treeshade says: Greetings, may I join you?
Mniaron smiles at Azani.
Azani says: Sparkly too.
Mniaron says: Certainly.
You feel tipsy. Whee!
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Mniaron giggles.
Treeshade looks tipsy.
Mniaron says: What did I miss?
Treeshade says: That's pretty cool
You feel sober again.
Mniaron says: You mentioned something about Argent Dawn?
Azani says: This fellow here disagrees with your opinions about the Forsaken.
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron says: Mm, I see.
Bynd prays to the Gods.
Azani says: I was providing an example of a member of the Forsaken who was striving for the betterment of society as opposed to its destruction.
Mniaron nods at Azani.
Azani seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade shakes his head bitterly, "the Forsaken are barely sentient but what mind they have is bent on destruction and the defiling of the land"
Akito waves at Razmote.
Mniaron says: But surely not all... Azani makes a good point.
Mniaron says: I've met that, um, man.
Mniaron looks tipsy.
[Officer] Mniaron: This effect has GOT to last longer! (But at least there is a little bit of alcohol around >_>)
Azani says: There are good people among the Forsaken, it's just, we don't pay any attention to them.
Treeshade says: So there is one - how did it avoid the corruption of the Undead on it's plagued mind? I am sure it is but a ruse to fool us
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade emphatically waves his hand to the side
Mniaron says: Hm. I'm not one to judge an entire group of beings, though it is true many of the Forsaken would prefer to turn more...
Chatty Night Elf says: Legend says that the great beast Omen sleeps in the waters of Lake Elune'ara in Moonglade, only to appear once a year. But that's just a legend.
Mniaron says: But I have met more than one friendly Forsaken as well.
Doskious says: With respect, you are aware sir, are you not, that at present the Forsaken no longer must go through a seperate transient stage as "mindless" undead of the Scourge?
Treeshade says: They are not People! they are barely "Things" - mere containers of Evil!
[Officer] Azani: Remember your PSA about the Forsaken, Dosk?
[Officer] Doskious: eh?
Treeshade says: Recepticles
[Officer] Azani: The one to which I responded, "If I weren't already Forsaken, I'd sign up."
Mniaron says: Yes, they rebelled didn't they?
[Officer] Azani: You put this really awesome spin.
[Officer] Doskious: no I don't.
[Officer] Doskious: OHHHH
[Officer] Mniaron: Aw, Dosk!
[Officer] Azani: on the Forsaken's plans of evil.
[Officer] Doskious: YES!
Chatty Night Elf says: Have you seen the fireworks? This is the best time of year to buy them.
[Officer] Mniaron: GO WITH EET. I don't know much about the undead background, you know.
[Officer] Mniaron: Carry on.
Doskious says: Initially, after the Plague was released in Lordaron, there was the Scourge.
[Officer] Azani: It's Lordaeron, fyi. >_>
Mniaron grunts.
Treeshade says: Unfortunately the Horde and it's like in the Scourge and the Burning Legion, all bent on power and destruction, they depend on the big hearts within the Alliance to weaken our resolve and split us
[Officer] Mniaron: Terrible aim. XD
Doskious says: Controlled absolutely by the Lich King, yes?
Doskious says: There were a few of the undead that managed, somehow, to break free of the Lich King's control, and became the first of the Forsaken.
Treeshade says: They spread these stories so that there will be Horde sympathisers in our ranks, I myself, in my humble way, have unearthed more than one Horde Spy amongst our peoples
Treeshade says: I killed him of course
Azani says: Well, naturally.
Mniaron raises an eyebrow.
Azani says: I don't too much mind the Horde, but giving away our secrets is unacceptable.
Doskious says: They moved within the extant undead of the Scourge converting more and more to their ranks. Things came to a head, as such things tend to do, and to make a long story short the Forsaken won, within Lordaron at least.
Treeshade looks over at Azani, barely disguising his disgust
Azani says: Why are you looking at me? I was -agreeing- with you.
Chatty Night Elf says: During the Lunar Festival, we should take time to seek out our elders and consider their wisdom.
[Officer] Azani: Wanna help that gnome up?
Treeshade says: Don't very much mind the Horde you say?! Tell that to the Silverwing defenders that die each day to protect our trees in Eastern Ashenvale
Azani cheers at Binh!
Binh thanks you.
Mniaron says: Well... It's true that what they're doing there is.... <sigh>
Doskious says: People who refuse to see more than one side to a situation are the same people who perpetuate it.
Mniaron says: But I don't like judging the entirety on that group either.
Chatty Night Elf says: The druids of Nighthaven are holding a great celebration in Moonglade for the Lunar Festival.
Mniaron nods at you.
Treeshade says: Tell that to the countless who fight and die every day to keep our forests green and not like the Horde infested Barrens
Mniaron ponders the situation.
Treeshade says: I have seen my village of Auberdine burnt to the ground by Horde raiders too many times to give audience to your apologistic arguments
Doskious says: I have documentation, sir, indicating that the Barrens have been that way for quite some time, far ante-dating the arrival of the orcs and the recognition of the Horde as we know it.
Azani says: My sympathies.
Mniaron says: If that is documented, then... There's nothing we can do about that.
Doskious says: As for the the conflict that exists presently...
Azani says: However, I refuse to condemn an entire group of people to death over the mere squabbling of factions!
You shrug. Who knows?
Treeshade says: I have fought defending Astranaar to my last breath as Sentinel after Sentinel is cut down by your "friends" in the Horde
Treeshade spits on Garryeth.
Treeshade spits on the ground.
Mniaron says: ....You make a large jump in logic from sympathy to "friend."
Azani says: I have no "friends" in the Horde.
Mniaron says: That kind of mindset is what prevents any sort of progress of any kind in any direction.
You nod at Mniaron.
Azani says: My visit to the Undercity was marked with much violence and flash powder.
Mniaron says: Well, that's not terribly surprising.
Azani says: Of course not.
Treeshade says: Sympathy, Friendship - Silence is consent - if you are not prepared to fight them, then you are merely aiding and swiftening their victory over your brethren
Mniaron lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Chatty Night Elf says: The Lunar Festival holds special meaning for the night elves. We seek out the wisdom of our elders across the world.
Mniaron says: Obviously, I'm in a different position, as a druid. I care for nature in ways you, as a rogue, can never dream of.
Mniaron says: And believe it or not, as a druid, many of my allies in the matter are... Tauren.
[Officer] Azani: I say we give the Chatty Night Elves to the Horde.
Chatty Night Elf says: The Lunar Festival holds special meaning for the night elves. We seek out the wisdom of our elders across the world.
Mniaron says: And I have met many a Tauren who eschew the terrible destruction others--the orcs--bring to the earth.
Doskious says: Nor should it be surprising that when elements of the alliance attack Horde holdings in the Barrens or the Stonetalon Mountains, that a reprisal raid would be launched against Astranaar.
Mniaron says: Such is the nature of the tension....
Mniaron lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
Doskious says: Nor should it be surprising if an alliance reprisal raid were to be launched in secondary response.
Azani looks tipsy.
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Mniaron waves a hand at Doskious.
Treeshade says: Hmmm, I am no rogue ma'am, I am but a humble fisherman from Auberdine... but I take your point about the Tauren, poor dumb cows, threw in their lot with the wrong side if you ask me but they are often at the forefront of attacks on our villages
Treeshade grins wickedly at Mniaron.
Azani seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron raises an eyebrow. "I see."
Mniaron says: My point is actually that alliances are actually possible across lines for a greater good.
Mniaron says: Of course, not everyone agrees with the Cenarion Circle, I suppose.
Mniaron says: But that is where I throw *my* lot in... Tauren and Kaldorei alike.
Doskious says: Do you know the last time that the official Armies of the Horde and the Alliance marched upon the same plain of battle?
Azani says: It'd be awfully boring if everyone agreed with everyone else.
Azani grins wickedly at Treeshade.
Azani grins wickedly at Mniaron.
Mniaron says: Point, Doskious.
Chatty Night Elf says: Have you seen the fireworks? This is the best time of year to buy them.
[Officer] Mniaron: Stupid chatty elves. XD
Azani says: ... Hyjal, wasn't it?
Azani says: And they fought side by side too.
Doskious says: The opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, actually, as I recall...
Mniaron nods.
Azani says: Meh, I wasn't there for that.
Doskious says: They were side by side for that as well.
Azani says: Come to think of it, was I at Hyjal either.
Azani ponders the situation.
Doskious says: There is no problem in the maintainence of peace between the respective *governments*
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Azani says: Exactly! What we have here is faction violence.
Treeshade says: Well we don't agree with them, we are not openly "At War" but they wage war upon us all the time - they encroach on our forests, they kill our messengers, they attack everything good and living - others might want to see their "good side", I don't
Doskious says: All actions fueled by individuals.
Mniaron says: Mmm, makesh sense. Faction violence--uncondoned by the official bodies themselves.
Treeshade says: you think?
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade says: I think not!
Azani says: The RAS, not the Forsaken as a whole, facilitate the spread of the plague.
Azani says: The Warsong Clan alone defiles the forests of Ashenvale.
[Officer] Mniaron: Dosk, gimme some more moonshine >_>
Azani looks tipsy.
You feel tipsy. Whee!
[Officer] Mniaron:
You have requested to trade with Mniaron.
[Officer] Mniaron: just 2-3
[Officer] Doskious: meh
Mniaron looks tipsy.
[Officer] Mniaron: XD
Treeshade says: I think their violence has been orchestrated as an active policy of slash burn and strike - and it is not Warsong Banners that enter Auberdine and killed my wife...
[Officer] Doskious: I forget to drink 'em ...hic!
Treeshade looks tipsy.
[Officer] Mniaron: Fine XD
Azani says: As for the trolls, well... I think they're all pretty weird.
Azani pages through An Exotic Cookbook.
[Officer] Mniaron: You're the intelligent gnome, so no drinking for you.
Treeshade cries.
You feel sober again.
Azani comforts Treeshade.
Mniaron says: Mm, my condolences.
Treeshade cries on Azani's shoulder.
Azani soothes Treeshade. There, there...things will be ok.
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Doskious says: If you are uninterested in looking for any side other than the one you want to see, then you are doomed by your lack of vision.
Treeshade looks tipsy.
Mniaron says: Well, it is understandable with familiar grief...
Azani agrees with Mniaron.
Mniaron says: But there must be an impetus for change as well.
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron says: That, I suppose, is a personal issue.
Treeshade seems to be sobering up.
Treeshade says: I may have the guise of a humble fisherman but now I take a different tack - I will hunt down and kill any Horde I encounter, silently and effectively, while taking their ill-gotten wealth from under their rotten noses!
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Treeshade says: As they have been doing to us
Azani says: Well I'm all for silent and effective, but...
Chatty Night Elf says: Have you seen the fireworks? This is the best time of year to buy them.
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron says: If that is the path you have chosen, then so be it. All anyone else can do is point out other potential directions.
Azani says: Is it really justice to murder Horde, some of whom have never seen the elven lands, much less your wife?
Mniaron says: Loss of family is a grave event, of course.
Mniaron says: Point, Azani.
Treeshade says: Once I can afford the training the Guilds here charge for showing me how to slit their throats, I mean they should be paying us to learn these war-skills not charging us for them
Azani says: I wish that were the case also, but they need to make a living.
Mniaron looks tipsy.
[Officer] Mniaron: DANGIT {Editor's note - this refers to Mnia's placement of the campfire}
Azani says: Apparently a very nice living, considering how much gold I paid them recently.
Treeshade says: I will have to put it to good use - incidentally I have not ventured into "their" territory, all the Horde I've killed have been in the defence of Ashenvale and Darkshore even though I am always outranked and outweaponed
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron nods.
Azani seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron says: In that context, then...
Treeshade agrees with Azani.
Azani says: That's... actually fairly reasonable.
Treeshade says: I can imagine it doesn't get any cheaper for us practisioners of the suble arts...
Azani says: Definitely no.
Treeshade sighs at Azani.
Chatty Night Elf says: Legend says that the great beast Omen sleeps in the waters of Lake Elune'ara in Moonglade, only to appear once a year. But that's just a legend.
Azani says: I spent about... 12 gold or so, and I didn't even learn very much.
Azani sighs at Treeshade.
Mniaron blinks at Azani.
Mniaron says: Is that true? I've spend 20-odd the last two times.
Treeshade gasps at Azani.
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Azani says: Well, I learned naught but one combat ability and two poison recipes.
Treeshade gasps even more emphatically at Mniaron
Chatty Night Elf says: The druids of Nighthaven are holding a great celebration in Moonglade for the Lunar Festival.
Azani says: Normally, my training is closer to 20, probably more now.
Mniaron says: Ah.
Doskious says: If everyone on either side relegated themselves to a defensive role, such as the one you describe, the only clashed would be in areas claimed by both parties...
Treeshade says: How am I to afford that, I can't dream of having that kind of money reclaimed from the Horde alone!
Mniaron seems to be sobering up.
Mniaron smiles at you.
Azani says: It's funny how pickpocketing money adds up.
Azani grins wickedly at Treeshade.
Mniaron coughs delicately.
Treeshade says: All Azeroth is under Horde occupation of course
Azani says: What?
Mniaron says: Oh, that is hardly true...
Mniaron looks tipsy.
Mniaron giggles.
Doskious says: How ever do you reach that ... ever-so-interesting conclusion?
