Caspist tells you 'i saw. i can summon you, if you want.'
Bazarat closes his eyes for a moment and nods at Merydia.
Merydia looks relieved as her sores vanish.
You say 'I could crush them even easier with the powerful Tome.'
*** The jig was up except for Merydia that is. ***
Merydia says 'It only aids magical study, not communal'
Merydia's hunger grazes her.
Xalshei chuckles politely.
Caspist tells you 'summon you out.'
Merydia smiles happily.
Caspist tells you 'oki. good luck'
Xalshei says 'You should have thought of that before you flung yourself to chaos, hmm?'
Bazarat says 'ther curse i cannot do.'
Merydia nods.
You tell Xalshei 'Merydia isn't the sharpest blade in the armory, is she.'

End of Guild Row
Scorched buildings and heaps of rubble surround you as you come to the end
of Guild Row. To the north is the North Gate. The entrance to the Warrior's
Guild is to the east and the Mage's Guild is to the west. You are quite certain
you do not want to enter these buildings alone.

Someone leaves north.
You yell 'Tome, damn you!'
You yell 'The Empire demands Tome!'
Xalshei yells 'It does you no good to damn those of us who are blessed with them'
You say 'I am envious of your powerful tome.'
Xalshei says 'Ah, the true colors show.'

You tell Twist 'I grow weary of your Masters mighty Twist. I demand Tome and they deny me. I covet their powerful tomes and perhaps I will go to war with Master over my tome envy.'
Twist tells you 'you haven't enough enemies as it is?'
You tell Twist 'but Tome!'
Twist tells you 'I think your becoming sickness holds you in it's grip, and your lust for power overwhelms you.'
You tell Twist 'I hunger for learning and they try to feed me with ignorance.'
You tell Twist 'Are you saying I would have to be insane to covet tome?'
Twist tells you 'I am saying that you would be mad to alienate the Tower when they have the possibility to be your greatest ally'
Twist tells you 'covet what you will.'
You tell Twist 'My Lord demands blood sacrifice and all others run and hide.'
You tell Twist 'They see my power. They know it is only Tome I lack to be invincible.'
Twist tells you '...right...'
You tell Twist 'What need would I have for allies having taken the mighty Tome by force?'
Twist tells you 'your construct can still be destroyed, can it not?'
You tell Twist 'Maybe. But who now is a threat to me?'
You tell Twist 'And who would dare challenge Tome?'
Twist tells you 'well, a wise answer. I'd hate for you to have said that your shell could not be destroyed, and force me to prove it to you *wink*'
Twist tells you 'as for who would dare to challenge you, when you are in possession of a Tome?'
Twist tells you 'I doubt it would truly make much difference to anyone.'
*** I think I lost a tell in here some how. ***
You tell Twist 'Yes. With Tome I could be easily placated.'
Twist tells you 'but you would, however, have many Masters chasing you.'
You tell Twist 'If Tome is meaningless then Master should yield Tome.'
Twist tells you 'Tomes of Knowledge are ours, and ours alone.'
You tell Twist 'Without the powerful Tomes to advise Masters, they would probably just stand there and try to cast scourges at me foolishly.'
Twist tells you 'many of them do that anyway.'
You tell Twist 'Agreed.'
You tell Twist 'Perhaps you should give them more Tome.'
You say 'curse those Masters and their Tome.'
Twist tells you 'all the 'Tome' in the world would likely not aid some of them.'
You tell Twist 'Perhaps if you sent them to kill me they would see how inadequate they are and improve.'
Twist tells you 'more likely they would supply you with new ritualistic corpses.'
*** Blatant character assassinating comment of mine snipped. ***
You tell Twist 'Agreed.'
You shift to your true form as your victim leaves.
Twist tells you 'if you seek our Tomes of Knowledge, you will have to slay Masters to get them. It is quite simple.'
You tell Twist 'Perhaps we could exchange chaos blade for Tome.'
You tell Twist 'I bet I could obtain Tome with an intricate web of lies.'
Twist tells you 'I doubt your web would need to be intricate at all.'
You roll on the floor, laughing hysterically.
You tell Twist 'Why do you permit such inept mages to serve you? Why do you bless such fools with Tome?'
Twist tells you '*rubs his head with a weary sigh* Not enough cynicism in these tired bones, perhaps.'

You tell Twist 'I have read that even the Master liches of past were inferior to the mighty chaos lich Hvitlok.'
Twist tells you 'most especially when Hvitlok had Guiseppe to back him up.'
You tell Twist 'I only know what I read. Lacking the powerful Tome I am nearly illiterate.'
